Chapter 103: The Art of Barcelona
readx;
On the morning of the second day of the match against Sporting Gijón, various reports of the match came out and Real Madrid fans had to confront the embarrassing result of the match once again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the match had just been played, it was customary to take a break on the morning of the second day after the match, and Real Madrid did not need to train. While the whole of Spain, and indeed the whole of Europe, was talking about Real Madrid's unexpected loss to Sporting Gijón, the Real Madrid players were still resting at home.
"Yesterday's game surprised a lot of people. Real Madrid, fresh from winning the Copa del Rey, lost in an unbelievable fashion, their unbeaten run this season was shattered, but the more serious consequence is that they are likely to be overtaken by Barcelona tonight......
The celebration of the Copa del Rey is still lingering in the hearts of many Real Madrid fans, the singing and cheering over the Harvest Goddess Square also seem to be still there, the Real Madrid scarf around the neck of the goddess Ciberez and the Spanish flag are still fluttering in the wind, and it has only been three days since Real Madrid lifted the Copa del Rey, and their fans have to have the bitter fruit of a defeat as usual...... And this defeat has the potential to bury all of their hard work for a season......"
Chu Zhongtian threw away the newspapers he had subscribed to, all of which were reports on last night's game. Basically nothing good to say. The media in Madrid are criticizing Mourinho for his stubbornness, because he did not put Chu Zhongtian in the squad. In fact, Chu Zhongtian himself didn't expect that he would lose if he wasn't in the squad...... So Mourinho can't be blamed for this, it can only be said that the unpredictability of football matches was taken to the extreme in yesterday's game - who would have thought before the game that Sporting Gijón would actually be able to beat the in-form Real Madrid at the Bernabeu?
The Catalan media, on the other hand, ridiculed and ridiculed Real Madrid's defeat and gloated. They are already hoping that Barcelona will complete the comeback and finally lift the league trophy. Real Madrid, who were hit, not only lost the league, but also suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League. The Catalan media devised several ways to kill their sworn enemies – by Celtic in the semi-finals of the Champions League and again by Barcelona in the Champions League final...... Of course, the favourite is obviously losing to Barcelona in the Champions League final, and what could be more enjoyable than beating a bitter rival in the Champions League final and lifting the trophy?
From the standpoint of a Real Madrid player, it's really easy to get upset.
Chu Zhongtian turned on the TV, intending to see what TV programs were there. The remark came to mind again in this game...... "Real Madrid lost the game against Sporting Gijón, which could be the worst game they have ever lost...... So what we want to say is, if Chu was able to play in the first place, can this result be changed? ”
The moderator is asking questions to the guests.
Chu Zhongtian was too lazy to listen to what the guests would say, it was nothing more than whether he could or couldn't. But he doesn't need this way of acknowledging his ability and importance – he'd rather not have such praise than if the team can win yesterday's game and prove that Real Madrid have left a team like Alonso who played like Sporting Gijón.
Chu Zhongtian turned off the TV again. Such a show is simply rubbing salt in the wounds of Real Madrid players.
There was a recovery session in the afternoon, and Chu Zhongtian could imagine how Mourinho would treat the team at that time. Losing such an important game, it is impossible for Mourinho to have no temper. No matter how the outside world criticizes him for being stubborn, arrogant and contemptuous of the enemy, and having wrong tactics, he still has authority in front of the team.
Chu Zhongtian thought, now he can really only fight Barcelona with all his might, and he must win the national derby. But there is a Champions League semi-final before that...... It's a real headache to have to spread the experience...... while the Real Madrid players and fans are still being forced to suffer from the media again, the Barcelona players are in a good mood.
When they got up, they greeted each other with irrepressible smiles on their faces.
Everyone already knows the result of last night's game.
"Real Madrid lost" was a hot keyword for their breakfast discussion.
Everyone felt that a loss for Real Madrid meant they would return to the top of the league table and win the league title in one fell swoop. Although they have been suppressed by Real Madrid this season, Barcelona's players are very confident and believe that if they take this opportunity to return to the top of the league, then even Real Madrid will not want to beat themselves at Camp Nou, let alone other teams that are not in the limelight. They have only lost one game to Real Madrid so far, and that is the best proof of that.
As for the Spaniards? Just as Real Madrid were able to maintain their advantage over Atletico Madrid, the Barcelona players are confident they can maintain their advantage over Espanyol, let alone on their own home turf.
Barcelona will complete four consecutive titles, and then continue to successfully defend the title next season, achieving five consecutive titles, comparable to Cruyff's dream team!
Even if he has Mourinho and three world footballers, in front of Barcelona, Real Madrid will always have the life of being the second!
※※※The atmosphere of the afternoon training was a bit dull. Everyone's minds are clearly still on the table from last night's game.
No Real Madrid player would be willing to lose to such a team.
Not to mention what it means to lose this game.
After training, Mourinho gathered everyone to form a circle on the training ground, he stood in the middle, he had something to say.
Many people know in their hearts that what should come is always coming. Jose Mourinho will definitely be furious and scold everyone with blood.
But to their surprise, Mourinho didn't really do it, he did have something to say, but not to curse.
'Just last night, we lost a very crucial game – nobody would have agreed with that before the game, and the most crucial game was supposed to be our next game away to Barcelona. But things are different now, and the match against Sporting Gijón is a key battle. I don't blame anyone, because this defeat is not the fault of any one person, but the failure of the whole team. ”
Mourinho didn't get angry or yell at the players, he stood in the middle of the players with a serious expression but not a stern face.
"Now we don't care what the outcome of the match between Barcelona and Espanyol will be in the evening. In fact, even if we lose this game, one thing remains the same, and that is that the game against Barcelona is still a final. As we said at the beginning, the match against Barcelona will be the final battle to determine who wins the league. It's still the same, even if we finish second in the league, if we can beat Barcelona away we will be back to the top of the league and completely destroy their fighting spirit and belief. ”
"I'm just worried about whether you've lost the championship after you lose the top spot in the league. It's not terrible to lose to Sporting Gijón, it's terrible to lose the heart of the championship. What if we finish second in the league? The points gap between us and them has not widened to the point where it is insurmountable. ”
"I've seen the mental state you guys showed in training and I'm honestly really worried right now. Because you are silent one by one, it makes people feel as if you have lost all your fighting spirit...... Ladies and gentlemen, this is the time to remember what I said before I went down - I like champions! I love the championship very, very much!! ”
Chu Zhongtian believes that Mourinho is worthy of being a psychological master and can quickly mobilize the emotions of the players. Originally, everyone was in a low mood when they lost to Sporting Gijon, but now with Mourinho's words, everyone seems to have ignited their fighting spirit and regained hope.
Yes, as long as they can beat Barcelona, then everything will not be a problem. Originally, it was planned that way, even if they won Sporting Gijon, Barcelona would win the city derby, and then they would have to fight to the death at Camp Nou.
After Mourinho's words, the Real Madrid players left the training ground with a calm mind.
They don't intend to care about the outcome of the Barcelona vs Espanyol fixture. There were also fantasies that Espanyol would be able to beat Barcelona, so that the positions of the two sides would not change, with Real Madrid first and Barcelona second.
But that's no longer necessary. It doesn't matter if Barcelona wins or loses, it's going to be a decisive battle at Camp Nou anyway.
※※※ Camp Nou tonight is full because it is a hot and fierce city derby.
Barcelona fans are also looking to see how their team can overtake Real Madrid and return to the top of the table when they see it live.
It was a monumental moment.
Since losing away to Real Madrid in the first half of the season, Barcelona fans have been brewing revenge.
Now, the time for revenge has finally arrived!
Shakira's music was playing before the game, and the Latin diva was playing a dynamic music, perfect for warming up the pitch before football matches and at halftime, and the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid, was also played, but when Shakira confirmed her romance with Pique, the Bernabeu banned the Latin diva's music. So at the Bernabeu, you can't hear Shakira's rhythmic and dynamic music anymore.
Meanwhile, Shakira's boyfriend Piquee is sitting in a dressing room chair with his team-mates, listening to manager Pep Guardiola's final words.
Pep Guardiola feels he should give his players a positive signal, and although they already know the news, there are other meanings coming out of his mouth. That way his players will be in a relaxed state of mind to win, which is a very good arrangement for a stressful game like the derby.
So he smiled and said to everyone: "Actually, there is nothing to say, there is one thing that everyone knows - Real Madrid lost!" ”
There was a burst of cheers, whistles, applause and, of course, laughter mocking Real Madrid.
"Let's play to the fullest, after 90 minutes, let's be the top in the league again!"
※※※ "Barcelona's start couldn't have been more perfect!" Messi burst into the penalty area and was tripped to the ground, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty! At this time, it was only twelve minutes before the start of the game! ”
"Mourinho will definitely babble and complain again when he sees this scene, we are taken care of by the referee! Because their Ronaldo also fell in the box and didn't get a penalty! But I say, shut your stinky mouth, Mourinho! Messi is not a clown like Ronaldo who can be compared! "The Catalan commentator was very excited from the first seconds of the game, and often came up with words that would make Barcelona fans feel good when they heard it. It was all because Real Madrid had lost the game the day before, so it was very relaxed and excited.
The commentator of Radio Marca questioned the penalty: "From this point of view, Messi seems to have hooked it on his own initiative...... At least the foul wasn't very convincing......"
The commentators on both sides are engaged in an invisible battle.
Messi created the penalty and took it himself. He is now competing with C. Ronaldo for the league Golden Boot. C. Ronaldo has scored 22 league goals so far, which is very few compared to last season, but Messi has also reduced his production this season after scoring crazy goals last season.
So far, Messi has scored two more goals than C. Ronaldo. As long as he can score this penalty, he will be able to close the gap between the two sides to one goal.
"Messi! The ball is in! Very nice spoon! ”
"Barcelona leads 1-0!!"
“goooooooool!!! Barcelona leads! Real Madrid are cornered! ”
"Messi scored his twenty-first goal of the season! The battle between him and Ronaldo for the top scorer is also getting hotter! ”
The Camp Nou was filled with jubilation, with Messi and his team-mates hugging tightly in celebration of the goal. This start gives them a huge amount of confidence, which means they will have a good chance of winning this game.
Victory seems to be in sight, and the championship is within reach.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian sighed, he didn't know if other teammates would pay attention to this game, but in order to understand the next opponent, he still watched the live broadcast of this game.
Barcelona's start was so good that even Chu Zhongtian himself felt that it was impossible for Barcelona to lose to the Spaniards, let alone losing, and even the chances of a draw were almost none.
The next game process also seemed to confirm Chu Zhongtian's thoughts.
Barcelona were firmly in control, using their best possession and passing links to move the Spaniards. Under the mobilization of Barcelona, the Spaniards could only run to defend and could not organize an effective attack at all.
Many Real Madrid fans, who had fantasized that the Spaniards could create miracles, turned off their TVs in disappointment after seeing the Spaniard's performance. They were in no mood to watch their sworn enemies slaughter their opponents - many felt that it was only a matter of time before the Spaniards were slaughtered in this situation.
Chu Zhongtian still insisted on watching. He's not looking at the Espanyol anymore, he's looking at Barcelona's performance, and he wants to study how Barcelona have been in form lately, and he wants to see what flaws in Barcelona's football can be followed. As a preparation for the next round of the national derby, Chu Zhongtian must be familiar with his opponent - he is no stranger to Barcelona, but the current Barcelona is obviously different from the Barcelona in the first half of the season, and the most important difference is the state of the players. Barcelona weren't in great form that game and were completely limited at the Bernabeu.
And judging from today's game, the whole Barcelona team is in good shape.
Adriano and Alves were very sharp in their assists, Xavi and Iniesta were good at passing in midfield, and the annoying guy of Luxe did a good job of controlling the tempo and linking attack and defence. Not to mention Messi, who constantly dribbles past people, which is the main reason for the Spaniard's exhaustion.
Chu Zhongtian is now learning from Mourinho, watching the game while looking down in his notebook to jot down the key points he observed. When the time comes, you will understand it when you look at it. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and what is written down on paper is the safest.
Emily saw him so serious and laughed at him: "You look like your head coach, haha!" ”
※※※ Barcelona were in really good form, the Spaniards had only two shots on goal in the entire first half, and they were not in the woodwork.
Barcelona didn't score again, though, and they had the advantage, but they were always unlucky with a kick on goal.
Until the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, and the home team Barcelona was ahead.
At half-time, the TV invited experts to comment, and everyone thought that Barcelona's advantage was too obvious, and they won this game. The moderator reminded them that Barcelona are now only one goal ahead, and in the world of football, a one-goal lead is the least safe score.
In this regard, experts have said that this is not a problem for Barcelona at all, because their strong ball control ability can make the opponent not even touch the ball, and how can they score an equalizer?
They said for 10 minutes, and it summed up as "Barcelona has won, Real Madrid is waiting to go to Camp Nou and fight the first place in the league".
After the start of the second half, Barcelona continued to control the football, they controlled the tempo, did not directly threaten the Espanyol's goal, they showed the world their distinctive football, which they are proud of for more than 20 years.
The Spaniards were like clumsy clowns in front of their elegant performances, helpless.
"That's art!" The Catalan narrator laments narcissistically. "Let Real Madrid's barbarians who can only kick people's ankles will never understand the beauty of football!"
"Bang bang bang! A dozen consecutive passes are very common in this game, and even a continuous pass of twenty feet is not uncommon! Football in Barcelona is breathtaking! They are so good on the ball! ”
There was a huge cheer at the Camp Nou, and every successive pass from Barcelona was able to eliminate their cheers. If the final shot is formed, the cheers are doubled.
The Camp Nou today was less of a city derby and more of a gigantic party, with every Barcelona fan who came to the party with a relaxed smile on their face, waving their arms and enjoying their favorite football.
Every cheer is like showing off to Real Madrid: "You can't play this kind of football in your life!" ”
