Chapter 0529 - Before the game
In the 2004-2005 Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona played Chelsea at home and away.
Historical data shows that, in general, the away and home schedule is more advantageous.
But this small disadvantage, Barcelona players naturally do not take it to heart, but this does not mean that Barcelona's players are not nervous.
Unlike the media in Catalonia, the Barcelona players still value this opponent very much.
Because there is no winter break in the Premier League, Chelsea now have played 27 league games, three more than Barcelona.
In these 27 league games, Chelsea have won 21, drawn 5 and lost 1, taking a full 68 points!
They have scored a total of 50 goals, which is not surprising in terms of attacking power, and Arsenal have scored 63 goals in the same period!
But after 27 rounds, they have only conceded 8 goals!
On average, you can't concede a goal in three games!
This kind of defensive intensity is really amazing!
Even if the current Premier League is generally considered to be rough, in the face of such a terrifying opponent, Barcelona's players still dare not take it lightly.
In terms of attacking power, Barcelona can throw Chelsea two streets away.
In the last 24 rounds of La Liga, Barcelona have scored a full 67 goals!
On average, you can score almost 3 goals in a game!
Defensively, though, Barcelona are not as tough as Chelsea.
In 24 league games, Barcelona conceded 16 goals.
This kind of defense is actually quite good, and it is the team that has conceded the fewest goals in La Liga in the same period.
But compared to Chelsea, twice as many goals are conceded by their opponents!
"The strongest spear against the strongest shield!" The headlines proposed by Chinese journalists were immediately disseminated by the world's media.
"Did the spear pierce the shield, or did the shield block the spear?"
In fact, everyone except the solitary Catalan journalist thought it would be a close showdown!
Two of Europe's brightest teams this season have been Chelsea and Barcelona.
Remember that in the European Team of the Year last November, Chelsea and Barcelona took nine of the 11-man starting positions!
What's even more terrifying is that outside fans watch it and think it deserves it!
The performance of the two teams has opened up more than one notch for the other teams!
Now the two teams collided and immediately attracted the attention of all the fans.
"Shady! It's absolutely shady! There must be something wrong with UEFA's draw! ”
When there was a lot of noise in the outside world, what Zhuo Cunzhi cared about the most was not the upcoming game, but -
"Aren't you going to read it?" Xiao Luo came over with a smile.
"Get out!" Zhuo Cunzhi pushed him away.
"Then I'll read it to you~~" Xiao Luo was not angry, ignoring Zhuo Cunzhi's action of rolling his eyes, picked up the newspaper and read it aloud.
"Diem? Yes, Chelsea need him! I think he's a player who can be the number one in the world...... Yes, it's a notch with Xiao Luo! ”
'It's a shame that in the end he chose Barcelona because I gave him a higher salary and a transfer fee.
"Of course! If he wants to leave Barca, Chelsea's doors are open for him at any time! ”
"Why like him? I love watching him play! What's more, he's the kind of player with strong will, and he'll be the soul of Chelsea! ”
Zhuo Cunzhi got goosebumps when he heard it, it was too numb!
"The rich man likes you so much, won't you respond?" Next to him, Eto'o frowned.
"......" Zhuo Cunzhi didn't want to speak.
At the same time, Zhuo Cunzhi was really a little hesitant.
Abu is so enthusiastic, and it doesn't seem good if he ignores it completely.
However, in terms of a player's professional attitude, he should ignore or reject it outright, after all, he is now part of Barcelona.
However, to say in the media how much he loves Barcelona and how much he wants to stay here, Zhuo Cunzhi is a little tired.
Get him to the press conference, someone is sure to ask this question.
So, did he respond positively, or did he coldly refuse?
None of that seems right......
Thinking like this, Zhuo Cunzhi put this matter aside for the time being.
Originally, this was not a big deal, but seeing that Zhuo Cunzhi did not respond, media reporters did not pay too much attention to these.
However, these bastards who had nothing to do began to tease him with this every day......
Mind your business!
Zhuo Cunzhi wanted to explode foul language......
Seeing the ill-intentioned expressions of these guys, Zhuo Cunzhi had an ominous premonition-
Perhaps, during this period of preparation, these bastards are going to make this joke about him......
Zhuo Cunzhi's hunch is reasonable, after all, on the eve of the Champions League knockout round, the atmosphere in the team is actually a little tense.
Now that I've found a way to release the pressure, and just make a harmless joke about Zhuo Cunzhi, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
What's more, don't look at Zhuo Cunzhi's black line expression now, in fact, he is still a relatively generous person.
Although he doesn't like to joke, he generally doesn't take it seriously when others joke.
As long as it doesn't involve a major matter like racial discrimination, Zhuo Cunzhi basically just laughs bitterly twice, and it won't affect the harmony between teammates.
This is indeed effective......
Under the teasing of the Brazilian Gang, even the Spanish Gang, which has a bad relationship with Zhuo Cunzhi, has a lot of smiles recently, and occasionally someone greets him, and then teases him about Abu.
In fact, it was the Spanish teammates who were really nervous.
After all, Barcelona has been degrading in previous seasons and has been underperforming.
For the current Barcelona, even if it is a Champions League knockout round, it is easy to be nervous.
Players like Andres Iniesta and Xavi haven't experienced the feeling of a Champions League knockout game for a long time.
Even Puyol was a little nervous, let alone the others.
They are players who really care about Barca's future, and Barça's odds against Chelsea are really hard to say.
They are all worried that Barcelona will be eliminated in the round of 16!
When they think about it, they get nervous......
As soon as they get nervous, the more they worry about the game, then the more nervous they become, and then they get stuck in a vicious cycle.
That's when the Brazilians stepped forward.
For the morale of the team, Zhuo Cunzhi unfortunately became a "victim"!
It is precisely because of this guess that Zhuo Cunzhi has such a crying and laughing expression.
These guys from the Brazilian gang are really not nervous.
Xiao Luo has been on the World Cup stage, Deco has won the Champions League, Zhuo Cunzhi was also in the Champions League quarterfinals last season, as for Eto'o, it is difficult to say whether he is nervous, but judging from his recent performance, he is not nervous.
Under the guidance of the Brazilian gang, Barcelona's morale is no longer so tangled and slowly moving in a good direction.
Although Zhuo Cunzhi is helpless, he doesn't pay much attention to this little thing, so he thinks of sacrificing his life for the team~~
It's just that there are still two days before the game, and how to spend these two days has become a headache for Zhuo Cunzhi.
Soon, Zhuo Cunzhi didn't have a headache, and something more topical appeared-
The man spoke.
"Barcelona? Right! We will win, we will knock them out! ”
"Why?" Muñirio smiled.
"Because after God, it's me!" Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
