Chapter 429: The Game Begins

After reading the information, Kodic continued to say to the players: "If I guess correctly, Rakitic is the core of Barcelona's midfield defense, then Iniesta is the attacking core of the midfield, but I believe you also know what to do, in this case, let's talk about Barcelona's forward line." ”

As he spoke, Kodic's eyes drifted to captain Cahill, Christensen and Azpilicueta, and when they saw Kodic looking at him, they all looked like they were listening, which made Kodic very satisfied.

"Barcelona's strikers, a Messi and Suarez, and a Paco, but Barcelona should be a two-striker lineup, you guys have to focus on resisting them, can't give them a hint of a loophole, do you understand?

But this is too difficult, these two guys have a strong attacking ability, Cahill, you must pay attention, especially Messi, you must be careful, try not to give them a chance. ”

Listening to Kodic's words, Cahill couldn't help but nodded, after all, Messi is a player that every team defender should pay attention to, and as a defender, he is destined to have a direct dialogue with Messi and Suarez.

Of course, Cahill and Azpilicueta will not be afraid, after all, neither of them is weak, and for Messi, several of them are also old rivals, and both of them believe in their own strength.

Barcelona has a group of world-class players, but the most lethal is Messi, he is too destructive, if you can't control Messi in a game, the game with Barcelona will not have a good result, this is a problem that many people know.

Jones grinned and said, "Head, and me, I will attract their defense, and I won't let them attack unscrupulously!" ”

Courtois also touched his gloves and said: "And me, they have to ask my hands if they want to score!" ”

Jones and Courtois's words lifted Cahill's spirits, but he still said with a solemn face: "Messi's ability is the best in the world, even if we are very familiar with him, it is definitely impossible to completely prevent him, but we will definitely do our best to prevent him." ”

Kodic sighed and said, "I trust you, and no one will doubt your ......."

Seeing that Jones was about to interject, Cordic waved his hand and continued: "You don't need to say more, I know that you are not worse than him, but you are still young, and it is certain that you will surpass him in the future." ”

Jones said: "There is no doubt about that, but that is for the future, now I want to beat Barcelona, this encounter, we must play our spirit." ”

Cahill excused: "Jones is right, everyone is playing to win the title, and if I can't win the Champions League this season, I won't be reconciled. ”

Kodic took the opportunity to say: "If we don't win the Champions League, we don't have the shame to support our fans, the game against Barcelona is a litmus test, if we can beat Barcelona, it means that we have the strength to compete for the Champions League." ”

Azpilicueta said: "Needless to say, Jones, we will definitely do everything to prevent Messi, and the task of scoring goals will be left to you. ”

Jones said: "As long as you can keep the goal, me and Eden Hazard, Willian can create chances. ”

Kodic saw that the atmosphere was almost over, so he said: "Okay, boys, I won't say more nonsense, in short, my request is very simple, that is, to kill Barcelona, if anyone dares not to contribute in the game, I can announce it now, this season's cold bench, you are seated, do you understand?" ”

Kodic's threat did not frighten anyone, because there would be no player who could not play Barcelona yet, and with Kodic's words and the reaction of his teammates, the players also began to get excited.

……………………

"Hello everyone, this is the Camp Nou, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to be staged, and this time Barcelona is at home, welcoming Chelsea, and the collision of the two teams is destined to be a fierce game."

The commentator at the scene was also replaced by a neutral fan, and Barcelona also lined up hundreds of riot police to come to the Camp Nou in order to prevent accidents.

Two hours before kick-off, the stands at Camp Nou were filled with red and blue fans, and some of the blue oceans, which were die-hard Chelsea fans!

At this time, the players of both sides came out of the locker room to train, Jones and Messi were among them, and the fans in the stands, who were slightly bored, immediately expressed their excitement for the game with a burst of warm applause and cheers.

The on-site commentator was also excited: "Hazard vs. Suarez, Jones vs. Messi, then the duel between Messi in 87 and Jones in 99 is even more gorgeous, Messi has always been the favorite of the World Footballer and the Golden Ball Award."

And Jones has been born this season, has potential, is a candidate for various awards, two geniuses with a difference of 12 years, Messi is now a superstar, and Jones is also a potential newcomer, a future superstar, Jones will be very likely to dominate the future football pattern.

Now that I have got the lineups of both sides, there should be no changes to this lineup, and the two sides have announced the starting list for this game: Barcelona starting formation 442: No. 1 Ter Stegen; No. 3 Pique, No. 18 Alba, No. 20 Roberto, No. 23 Umtiti; No. 4 Rakitic, No. 5 Busquets, No. 8 Iniesta, No. 11 Dembele; No. 9 Suarez, No. 10 Messi

Subs: 13 Cillessen, 15 Paulinho, 17 Paco, 19 Digne, 21 Gomez, 22 Vidal, 25 Vermaelen

Chelsea's starting line-up 343: Thibaut Courtois at No. 13; Azpilicueta 28, Christensen 27, Gary Cahill 24; No. 15 Moses, No. 7 Kante, No. 4 Fabregas, No. 3 Alonso; No. 22 Willian, No. 10 Hazard

No. 9 Jones

Subs: Willy Caballero 1, Costa 19, Tiemoue Bakayoko 14, Pedro 11, Sapacosta 21, Rudiger 2, Emerson 33

This formation seems to be more symptomatic, with Barca's strongest being their midfield control, while Chelsea's strongest point is their attacking ability up front, and it seems that the focus of the game is whether Barcelona can control the football. ”

The players from both sides came out for almost 20 minutes to practice, sweating a little, and then went back to the dressing room and waited for the game to start.

After a brief review of the tactical arrangements, Kodic added: "The time has come to test our quality, our opponent is Barcelona, but I believe everyone, we will definitely show the Chelsea fans a new team, we want to let them know that we are here to win the Champions League!" ”

At this point, the referees whistled in the tunnel and Kordic stopped speaking and shouted to the players: "Get out of here!" ”

Outside the locker room, the Barcelona players have come out, and the Chelsea players have also come out, and Messi has also taken the initiative to go over to greet Cesc Fabregas and Perez, the two are quite popular in Barcelona, at least the Barcelona players are very enthusiastic.

Look at the personnel of both sides have arrived, Slovenian football referee Damir. Skomeina walked towards the pitch with the players from both sides.
