On the night of May 28th, the ancient and majestic Stadio Olimpico in Rome became the focus of the entire world football scene, in this stadium, the final match of the 2008-2009 European Champions League will be held, against Arsenal and Barcelona, the treble and quadruple winner duel has touched the hearts of billions of fans around the world.

Over the past five years, these two teams have been arguably the most flamboyant and attacking teams in Europe, with Arsene Wenger's tactical philosophy of passing the ball into the back of the net already in the hearts of the people, and Barcelona's Tiki-Taka also making a name for themselves in Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola.

What's even more impressive is that both teams also have some of the most exciting stars of the past season, with Descartes scoring 27 goals and 16 assists in the Premier League, seven goals and four assists in the Champions League, and 20 and 30 goals in the season, which no player has been able to do in the past two decades, and his most recent stat is Thierry Henry in 2002-2003, when he scored 24 goals and provided 23 assists, from which his title of "King" derives.

And the most recent year to this data. In the 05-06 Bundesliga, Klose scored 25 goals and provided 16 assists in 37 games, catapulting him to become a world-class star.

Compared to Descartes, Barcelona's Messi is not far behind, he has scored a total of 32 goals in 47 games, while also providing nine assists, although he is a cut below Descartes's statistics, he has scored seven goals in the Champions League, alongside Descartes.

The rivalry between these two new generation of top stars is also seen as the biggest focus of the game. In the end, Messi, who broke through sharply and was unguardable, won. Or is it the cool-headed Descartes who always handles the ball wisely?

On the evening of May 28, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome will witness the answer to all this.

Both teams were also very well prepared before the game, with Arsenal arriving in Italy two days before the final. They borrowed Formelo, the training base of Lazio, another Serie A powerhouse in the city of Rome. As Arsenal eliminated Lazio's arch-rivals Roma in this season's Champions League. Therefore, Lazio president Lotito welcomed the arrival of the Gunners, and even the fans of the Blue Eagles gathered outside the Formelo training base in large numbers to cheer on Arsenal.

The two clubs of Rome City have already reached a situation where they will not stop. As long as it makes the Roma fans feel intimidated, the Lazio fans will be more than happy to do it.

In fact, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome is also the home stadium shared by the two clubs of Rome and Lazio, although it is not called "San Siro" and "Meazza respectively" like the stadium in Milan City, but this does not mean that the grudge between the two clubs is not as deep as the two teams in Milan City, the two clubs in Milan City have also had players such as Pirlo in recent years, but between the two clubs in Rome City, their most recent direct deal is the Swedish star Sermosen exactly 50 years ago!

From this alone, you can see how fierce the conflict between the two clubs is.

In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Lazio selflessly lent the Formelo base to Arsenal for pre-match preparation, and the Roma side naturally did not dare to show weakness, and they immediately opened the Triglia base to Barcelona to show a counterattack against their double enemies Lazio and Arsenal.

Like Formello's base, Triglia's base is also full of Roma fans who have come to cheer for Barcelona, and the focus of these Roma fans is naturally Messi, who has replaced Ronaldo as Barcelona's number one star this season.

Just a year ago, Messi and Ronaldo were just a fledgling young star, when Ronaldo scored 39 goals in a season, winning the World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year two crowns, but this season, Messi and his Barcelona re-emerged in the ruins of the "Dream II", and their revival was even faster than the media expected, they have always suppressed their old rival Real Madrid in the league, and Messi also defeated Ronaldo for the first time in goal statistics, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored just 22 goals and provided seven assists in 45 appearances, with Messi leading him by 10 goals and two assists.

It can be said that without the sudden rise of Descartes, Messi would have been the best choice for World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year this season.

But it is also Descartes' single-handed data that makes Messi's road to the throne look like it can't be smooth sailing, 30 goals and 20 assists, which is enough to compete for the title of the best player in the world in any year, if it weren't for Arsenal's regret losing the league title in the last round, if it weren't for the fact that they haven't won a crown this season, it is estimated that there is no suspense about the competition for the world footballer.

Now, the battle between Messi and Descartes is not only related to who of the two teams can become the king of kings in Europe this season, but also directly related to who is most likely to get the title of the best footballer in the world between the two players, in this year without a world series, the Champions League is definitely the most important indicator to measure the best player, it can be said that Messi and Descartes, who can lead the team to win the Champions League, they will also win the title of World Footballer.

As for the European Footballer, there is no suspense about this, the current support rate of Descartes is much higher than that of Ronaldo who left Real Madrid this season, compared with last season, Ronaldo's data has dropped significantly, although he is still very unconvinced, but he is no longer capable of recovering this season.

Who wouldn't want to be the king of kings of Europe?

And this time the two teams met. In fact, there is another attraction, that is, the reunion of Henry, the "king" of Highbury, with his old master.

Henry's departure two years ago was sad, the scene of him kneeling on the edge of the Emirates Stadium and kissing the turf moistened the eyes of countless fans, and after insisting on going to Barcelona, his performance was not satisfactory, in two seasons in Barcelona, he made a total of 59 appearances and scored 31 goals. Henry was only 32 years old. But in Barcelona, it has been like a classic car that has leaked oil, the speed has decreased sharply, and the sharp breakthrough in the past is nowhere to be seen, and it is said that Barcelona has the intention of cleaning him out of the team.

Henry left Arsenal, who loved him dearly, for Spain. In order to pursue the championship. Especially the Champions League winners. But things are always so wonderful, he only won one Copa del Rey and one league title at Barcelona, and finally reached the Champions League final with the team. What awaits him is the old proprietor he thought was hopeless!

Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost, how bleak is such a scene, if you had known that you could stay at Arsenal and have today, why did he have to leave reluctantly?

Henry's reunion with Arsene Wenger, the first meeting between the master and apprentice in two years, and the direct confrontation between the new and old Arsenal captains, such topics simply made the media feel that everything seemed to be providential, and if it was not hyped up, it would be a blessing from God.

At 2:45 a.m. on May 28, the match between Arsenal and Barcelona kicked off at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people.

Arsenal discharged all the main lineups they could play in this game, the back from goalkeeper to Clichy, Sagna, a lot of five big players, Denilson returned to the main lineup after a rotation rest, Fabregas although facing next year's owner, he still won the trust of Wenger, guarding the middle; The two flanks are Nasri and Theo Walcott, the Frenchman's dexterity and the speed of the British tiger have become Arsenal's invincible weapons this season, and up front, this time Wenger did not play the trick of playing the trick of the donkey, Van Persie started with Bendtner, and Descartes was left as a weapon in the second half.

However, there was a slight change in Barcelona, right-back Alves and Abidal were injured one after another, captain Puyol was moved to the right side, and Pique partnered Yaya in the middle. Toure formed the backbone of the defence, with Silvinho at left wing-back.

At the back line, it was not Keita, who had been speculated before the game, but Sergio Busquets, who was only promoted from the second tier by Pep Guardiola this season.

I'm afraid that the answer to this question will not be given until after the game.

The other two options in the midfield undoubtedly belong to Xavi and Iniesta, who are known as "brains", both of whom belong to the kind of low-key but indispensable stars, without Messi, they still won the world championship and the European championship in Spain, but without them, Messi almost led Argentina to the point that he could not even qualify for the World Cup.

Barcelona is used to the formation of 433, so their three strikers in this game are Henry, Eto'o and Messi, strangely, Henry, who is 1.88 meters tall, became a left winger, and Eto'o, who is only 1.8 meters tall, became a positive Indian center forward.

But think about Barcelona later using Messi to play the center forward or sometimes simply not a center forward, we will also feel that this is not a big deal at all, the center forward position is simply dispensable in Barcelona, this area is a place for them to insert shots, whoever comes up is the center forward.

The funny thing is that Barcelona also introduced two world-class center forwards, Ibrahimovic and Huluwa, both of whom were hot strikers at the time, and took on the important task of destroying the city in their respective teams, but unfortunately they failed to see the situation clearly, Barcelona needs not a center forward at all, but a beacon with a black cauldron, when the team has good results, the ball and pass in this position become the source of goals for Messi and others, but when the results are bad, the players in this position have "mediocre scoring ability" It became the best excuse to lose.

Poor Huluwa was injured for 4 months in a season and scored more than 20 goals, but was criticized by Lord Cruyff as "the decline in form has led to a sharp decline in the number of goals", which is really a snowfall in June, and the injustice of Qi Tian!

At this time, Eto'o is estimated to be the most suitable player for this center forward position in Barcelona for ten years. His speed and holding the ball ensure that the team has enough offensive ability when attacking, and his active counter-robbery fills the hole that Messi doesn't like to defend, the only problem is that his height has caused Barcelona's header ability to be weak, but Barcelona dares to use seven dwarfs, how could he ever consider relying on headers to break through the opponent's goal?

The problem with Eto'o's later depreciation is not his skills or attitude, but the fact that he always tries to compete with Messi for the central position, and as a central striker, he takes it for granted that the team should attack around him, but it is in Pep Guardiola's mind. The team's first point of attack will always be Messi. Eto'o's disbelief, coupled with his natural big mouth, naturally became an unstable factor in the dressing room, and the always iron-fisted Guardiola. Of course, he won't be left to mess around in the locker room.

Eto'o is not alone. Then Ibu came. is still puzzled by Guardiola's strategy of ignoring the center forward to fully support Messi, and he is as straightforward as Eto'o, and as a result, he offends Guardiola. Even if he is worth as much as 66 million euros (46 million in cash + Eto'o is worth about 20 million), he was also ruthlessly expelled.

Later, Villa had to come to Barcelona to hug his thighs, and when he arrived at Camp Nou, he finally understood that he was not coming to play with an annual salary of 7 million, but simply to make a punching bag for the picky Cruyff and other masters, the team won the game, it was Messi, Xavi and others who were credited, and the team lost, because he was not a good center forward, and failed to support the team when Messi and others were in a low state.

As a result, Villa swallowed his anger for three years, and he couldn't stay anymore, so he simply took a salary cut and went to Atletico Madrid, saving himself from always carrying the black pot for others, and being scolded in the newspaper all day long, and the "arrogant" Barcelona also felt that there seemed to be no player on the earth at this time who was worthy of the position of their team's center forward, so they simply invented a striker tactic, anyway, there was no one there, and whoever came up would temporarily take over this responsibility, so Messi became a midfielder, Cesc Fabregas became a center forward, and even Tello, Sanchez, these dwarfs, also come up from time to time to make cameos.

It's not that the earth doesn't have a center, but Barcelona doesn't need this position at all!

Now Neymar is here with a high spirit, it is said that Real Madrid's hundreds of millions of euros in cash have not been able to move him, I don't know what Neymar will be like in Barcelona in the future, but I can be sure that there will be a dragon battle between him and Messi.

Just like Samuel Eto'o and Ibrahimovic before him.

As the saying goes, life is not endless, internal friction is endless, every strong dynasty is ultimately destroyed on the internal struggle, whether Barcelona can win the championship in the next few years We dare not make a conclusion now, but the battle between Neymar and Messi will definitely make Barcelona fall into turmoil in the future.

Unless one of the two of them, like Cesc Fabregas, is already ready to leave, then this core battle is expected to stop.

Before you know it, it's crooked again, so let's get back to this game.

As the most heavyweight contest at the end of the season, of course, they will not have any back, Arsenal as always adhere to their attack-oriented style, Guardiola's formation is not defensive at all, just from the starting lineups of the two teams, it can be seen that this game will be a Mars hit the earth like an offensive battle.

After two consecutive seasons of dull Champions League finals, these reporters who rely on reporting sports news also feel extremely depressed, especially in the rainy battle in Moscow last year, Manchester United and Chelsea have teamed up to stage conservative football to the extreme, although the score is 1:1 in 90 minutes, but those two goals, even their professional sports reporters can no longer recall, that game left them the only impression, is Terry's tearful appearance after the game, and the news that Grant is out of class immediately.

And Arsenal vs. Barcelona, just listening to these two names, you already know what kind of final this will be, hearty attack, delicate and gorgeous coordination, flowing goals, and the momentum of no return, all the wonderful memories you can think of about attacking football, can be seen in these two clubs, this is destined to be a grand ceremony that can be recorded in history.

Now the tripod is set up and the camera is turned on. Everyone is ready and waiting for these two teams to enter the field.

Amid the long-awaited cheers, the doors of the players' tunnel finally opened, and the players of the two teams walked out hand in hand onto the verdant pitch.

On Barcelona's side, it was their captain Puyol who took the lead on the pitch, and behind Puyol was the team's brain, Xavi, and then Yaya. Toure, Busquets and others followed, but it was not Henry, the former King of Highbury, who appeared at the end. It's Messi, the new favorite of Barcelona fans.

As Europe's most famous killer of the last decade. Henry can only be ranked second to last, which is not embarrassing or embarrassing, which is neither the most favored position by fans, nor the position of the core of the team, seeing this scene. The Arsenal fans who came from thousands of miles to watch the game on the sidelines were a little sad. If it is placed at the Emirates Stadium. The old captain should be the last one anyway.

How can Messi be able to become the treasure of the last town team to play?

But Messi didn't feel the sadness and anger of the Arsenal fans at this time, and he was waving his hand to greet the Barcelona fans who were cheering desperately. At this time, Messi is not the king of the ball three or four years later, to be able to walk out of the tunnel as the last player, this is an affirmation for him, but also an encouragement, he feels the excitement in every cell of his body, he has already made up his mind, must help Barcelona defeat Arsenal in this game, but also defeat those who are called his "lifelong enemy" Descartes in the media. Mondillo.

Unfortunately, Descartes was not in the starting lineup, which prevented the two of them from competing in popularity from the start.

But this also made Messi breathe a sigh of relief, because he knew very well that as an Italian, Descartes's welcome at the Rome Olympic Stadium in Italy was certainly not comparable to him, and if Descartes walked out of the players' tunnel at this time, the cheers would definitely be thousands of times louder than him, after all, the Italian neutral fans in the stadium stands still accounted for the majority, and they would not cheer for any team, but they would definitely cheer for Descartes, who was an Italian.

If he is compared to Descartes in popularity at this time, it will also have a certain impact on his election as World Footballer of the Year, because many UEFA officials are sitting in the stands at this time, and the cheers of 100,000 people cannot but have any impact on them.

This is something that Descartes and Wenger did not expect, Wenger has always cared about the team's record, even Henry did not deliberately pull the vote for him as the World Footballer, and Descartes is even more unclear about the way inside, so he still prepared for the second half of the game as originally planned, which made him miss a great opportunity to compete with Messi for popularity.

But even so, when Descartes appeared on the bench at Arsenal, there was a huge cheer on the sidelines, these are from the neutral fans of Rome and the die-hard fans of Arsenal, Descartes's performance this season is better than Messi's, which makes them feel sincerely proud, although he is still on the bench and has not played, but the impatient fans have already shouted his name in unison, in order to let him come to the sidelines and wave his hand.

Descartes met the fans' requests with a smile, but unfortunately the stands were too far away from the stadium, and no one could see the trace of hope and loss hidden in his smile, this was his most important game so far, he actually hoped that someone could come to see him, but unfortunately he looked at it, the stands were full of people singing and dancing, and the person he wanted to see was never seen.

In the past two days, Descartes, who returned to Italy, also tried to restore contact with Angeli, but this time the little girl seemed to have made up her mind to stop paying attention to him, and Descartes could not contact her by any means, if it weren't for Wenger's closed training in the past two days, Descartes might have secretly run out to find Angeli, his heart was full of apprehension, even if the war was imminent, he would never be able to settle down.

Sometimes, he would suddenly feel that all those previous ambitions, those prides of surpassing Rosie to become a national hero, had become unimportant after the loss of Angelia, and he wanted to just let go of everything in front of him, and immediately go back to Pavia to find his sweetheart.

Descartes' absent-mindedness fell into Wenger's eyes, and the worry in the professor's eyes increased even more.

Barcelona have been in full swing this season, and Pep Guardiola has managed to clear the legacy of Rijkaard. Firmly in his own hands, although this is still his first rookie season, he has created a formed high pressing + Tiki-Taka system for Barcelona, they are invincible in La Liga, the second leg of the battle of the century away 6:2 bloodshed Real Madrid, the Champions League has been soaring from the group stage, the round of 16 and the quarterfinals eliminated Lille and Bayern 6:3 and 5:1 respectively, and the ferocious firepower simply shocked Europe.

What's even more chilling is that Barcelona not only inherited the unparalleled firepower of the "Dream II" period, but also filled the hole that Rijkaard's team was good at attacking and not defending. and Chelsea's Champions League semi-finals. Clement continued to use the Muhammad bucket formation to try to suffocate Barcelona, but Guardiola's disciples also returned 1:1 away after 0:0 at home, and only scored one goal in two games, which can be counted as one goal. It was enough for them to step on Chelsea's corpse and advance to the final.

Attack like thunder and fire. Hold on to the rocks of ice. Pep Guardiola's Barcelona has made Wenger almost helpless, if it weren't for the ace of Descartes in his hand. Arsene Wenger really doesn't know what tactics to use to beat Barcelona.

But Descartes's people are in the Olympic stadium, but their hearts have flown to the suburbs of Milan not far away, Wenger really doesn't know how to make him take his heart back, this disciple, everything is good, but in the matter of feelings, indecisive, really can't make people worry.

There is a dispute about Descartes's feelings, Wenger has already inquired clearly, in his opinion, this matter just kicks the little British singer away, and then goes back to explain to the little lover of the childhood sweetheart, everything is gone, but Descartes is reluctant to cut off with the little singer, and he doesn't want to lose his childhood sweetheart, both sides are dragging his feet, what kind of trouble is he going to make, is he going to shoot Qiong Yao?

Oh, I'm sorry, Wenger probably doesn't know who Aunt Qiong Yao is, what he should be thinking is: what kind of trouble is this, is it to shoot Shakespeare?

Wenger doesn't understand that a lonely man, especially a lonely man of a strong age like Descartes, is not so easy to give up when he gets a lover who treats him wholeheartedly, and his dependence on two lovers who have no guesses.

What Descartes is making now is just a mistake that a normal man would make, he is unwilling to easily kick Moliel, who is enough to satisfy his vanity, away, and on the other hand, he is even more reluctant to break up with Angeli, so it is not incomprehensible that he is sad in this tangled state.

The only pity is that he is injured at the wrong time, in the face of such a powerful enemy as Messi and Barcelona, if his mind has not been put back on the field, what awaits him is bound to be an unbearable punishment.

The opening performance of the two teams did not disappoint the fans who came to watch the game, Barcelona is still very pure and naïve in the season of the six championships, at this time the chrysanthemum is still a flower, 2B is still a pencil, Professor Bu did not cover his face and fell to the ground to peek, Barcelona has not yet learned to defend with the backfield inverted feet.

So as soon as the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Barcelona's three strikers rushed through the half like arrows, and then the ball was handed to their brain, Xavi.

In the face of Xavi taking the ball, Wenger has a special arrangement, it is impossible for an old Jianghu like Wenger not to know who is really the most threatening player in Barcelona, so in this game, his strategy is to put Fabregas's position on the premise, on the one hand, it is convenient to break the ball on the spot and counterattack, on the other hand, he also hopes that Xiaofa can entangle Xavi and cut off Barcelona's offensive source.

However, Xavi, like Descartes, is the kind of player who plays with his brain, and in the face of the menacing Fabregas, he calmly transferred the ball to Iniesta's feet, and then had time to laugh and joke with Fabregas: "Take it easy, you'll be back next year, don't let the fans hate you in advance." ”

Cesc Fabregas also laughed and replied cross-legged: "If I don't try my best, I will be hated, and the club doesn't want to buy back 40 million to be a waste." ”

"You're not trash." Harvey said solemnly: "But it's good for you to be an undercover agent." ”

Then the two of them laughed in unison, and for a moment the tense atmosphere on the field disappeared.

And in addition to Cesc Fabregas and his future team-mates enjoying themselves, Barcelona's side is not without "Infernal Affairs". When Thierry Henry got the ball, Sania, who was defending him, kept chanting in front of him: "It is said that you used to be the king of Arsenal fans, why do you have to go to Barcelona?" ”

Henry was speechless, Sagna was a player introduced by Wenger after he left, he and this little black man had never met, but Sagna's problem made him sincerely feel a kind of guilt rising from his heart, yes, if he had known that Arsenal could still reach the Champions League final, why did he have to cry and beg to hug Barcelona's thick leg?

Just as Henry lost his mind with guilt, Sagna flew forward and intercepted the ball at his feet. Then the Frenchman spread his legs and raced towards Barcelona's half. Only Henry was left standing in place, dumbfounded.

"It's treacherous!" Eto'o, the little black man who witnessed all this happening, couldn't look at it, and came up and patted Henry on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't pay attention to him next time, this girl is not righteous!" ”

A bitter smile appeared on Henry's face, and at this time he felt some regret for his insistence on leaving. Knowing today. And why bother in the first place.

Both teams are extremely attacking teams. This is destined to change the tempo of this game quite quickly, one second while the ball is still flying in the Arsenal penalty area, the next second may have Arsenal scored Barcelona half. So the whole game felt like time was passing very quickly, and before the crowd could recover from the excitement of the game, the first half was already 37 minutes into it.

Overall, Barcelona still had the upper hand in those 37 minutes, leading Arsenal 55% to 45% in possession and 7:2 in shots on goal, and Arsenal didn't get many chances in the Barcelona half, all thanks to Pep Guardiola's special arrangement in this game.

In this game, Guardiola did not send Keita, the main defender of this season's iron fight, but sent the new hairy head Busquets, at this time Busquets is not called "professor", except for the Catalan, few people know him, just when he played, many media reporters are still looking for information about this player, they don't know the name, but they know almost nothing about his past record.

What does Pep Guardiola think about such a young player starting in such an important game as the Champions League final?

In fact, aside from liking temporary cameos, Busquets is indeed a very powerful midfielder, and he is a very suitable player for the Barcelona system, his physical fitness is excellent, and he is tough, but the most remarkable thing is that his football intelligence is quite good, he rarely concedes the ball in the position of the midfield, and also has the ability to pass through the midfield, with his sweeping and tandem in the back, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and others can rest assured in the front of the high pressing, Don't worry about losing contact with the backcourt.

Compared with Keita, Busquets seems to be a little weaker in running, but his mind is very clear, his position is also very reasonable, and the positions he appears in are often very dangerous positions, and his positioning and interception ensure that the team will not appear in key positions, this ability is what Keita, who is active in defense but not so accurate in positioning, lacks it, not to mention that he also has an accurate mid-to-long-distance pass, which Keita can't catch up with.

The reason why Guardiola sent Busquets as a starter in such an important game is to let him play a pivotal role in the front and back of the field and provide better fire for Messi and others.

In Guardiola's view, he racked his brains and couldn't come up with a better way to limit Descartes, so he simply gave up the plan to strangle Descartes, and was ready to directly use Barcelona's strong attacking ability to crush Arsenal and attack against Arsenal, which is a trick that many teams have tried, but there is no doubt that among these teams, Barcelona is definitely the most confident team to complete this feat, and there is no one.

This season, Barcelona scored 106 goals in 38 rounds of La Liga, and its attacking power is the best in Europe, while Arsenal also scored 74 goals in 38 rounds of the Premier League, but compared with Barcelona, there is still a certain gap, regardless of the differences between the two leagues, even in the Champions League, Barcelona scored 48 goals in 12 games, an average of 4 goals per game, and 2 games with more than 6 goals, compared to Arsenal played 14 games (Arsenal has two more qualifying games), Only 36 goals have been scored in total, and only one of the six goals scored in the game was against Dutch side FC Twente in qualifying.

Such a comparison of data is enough to show why Guardiola is confident in his team.

And Barcelona's players did not live up to his expectations, and in the 38th minute of the first half, Barcelona successfully knocked on the door of Arsenal, this time it was their number one star Lionel Messi who made the difference. (To be continued......)
