Chapter 744: The Great War is Imminent

Speaking to reporters in La Masia ahead of his regular press conference, the young Pep Guardiola took the initiative to talk about their desire to play Chelsea on their home turf in the hope that the visiting team Chelsea would not disappoint them.

Obviously, Pep Guardiola, who is determined to take the initiative at home, has played psychological warfare with Mourinho, playing the trick of virtual and real.

Therefore, Mourinho, who participated in the pre-match press conference, was quite puzzled, he thought that this was a trap for Guardiola, but it was not easy to ignore the questions from the media, and said half-convinced: "If Barcelona can play a game with us at home, we will definitely not mind, you must know that in a key game like the Champions League semi-finals, any away goal is a valuable deposit, and I firmly believe that our Ai can win Camp Nou again......"

No one knows what Mourinho means by this, because Mourinho's team gives the impression of tenacious defense and lethal quick counter-attacks, and there has never been a wide open attack.

But Pep Guardiola, who is following Mourinho, laughed, and he could at least see that Mourinho was already beginning to wonder if he would definitely make a second adjustment to the team before the game, so that his team would be solid defensively on the road before committing to attack.

And these ...... That's Pep Guardiola's chance for Barcelona!

As long as Chelsea dare to defend on the road, then his Barcelona are definitely capable of knocking on the door of Cech's guard.

In fact, Mourinho is indeed very confused, but disagrees with Guardiola's words, Barcelona cannot let go of the attack at home, because no matter which team, facing a team with super individual ability like Elo, it is completely impossible to be top-heavy.

And Chelsea are the team that has conceded the fewest goals in Europe this season, and their defensive ability is the best in Europe, which means that if Barcelona attack with all their might, then they have only one way - to be eliminated!

So ginger is still old and spicy, and Mourinho can see at a glance that Guardiola's remarks are full of holes.

Want to keep yourself on the road? How can it be!!

He even decided to give Pep Guardiola a big gift during the game!

※※※

Three or four hours before the start of the game, a large number of Barcelona fans were already gathered outside the Camp Nou, shouting slogans to cheer on their team, and many media outlets were happy to conduct live interviews in such situations.

Of course, there are quite a few Chelsea fans, but in front of a large number of Barcelona fans, the number is still at an absolute disadvantage.

Two hours before the game, the stands were already full, and almost the entire stadium was decorated in red and blue, the main colors of Barcelona's jerseys, and they sang the team anthem passionately or shouted slogans to create a frenetic home atmosphere that made the visiting players unable to move their feet.

It wasn't until an hour before the start of the game that the visiting fans were able to enter the stadium through guò security.

But at this time, the Camp Nou had already created a suffocating frenzy, and even Chelsea fans could feel the energy coming from all directions, even if they were in the fence outside the security guards, making them very uncomfortable.

The 5,000 Chelsea fans who came to the away stadium were located in the farthest part of the stadium on the third floor of the stand, and they were diagonally facing the goalposts, which was arguably the worst vision of the game.

It's not so much about watching the game as it is about being there to feel the frenetic atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals.

It is worth mentioning that there is a touch of white in the stands at Camp Nou, and if Iroh is there, he will definitely be able to recognize the tall and powerful naked man, yes! These are die-hard Valencia fans, and the naked man is none other than Joe Pooh, the leader of the 'Batguard', who is waving the flag of Iello in the void and preemptively cheering for Iello at the Camp Nou!

As the Chelsea players entered the pitch through the tunnel, huge boos erupted in an instant, and all kinds of insults poured down from the sky.

Camp Nou is the largest professional football stadium in Europe, and it is said that the maximum capacity can reach 115,000 fans, but for the sake of safety, the maximum capacity of this stadium was the 1998-1999 Champions League final Bayern Munich was beaten by Manchester United 1:2, and a whopping 99,354 fans entered the stadium.

Naturally, this game will not reach nearly 100,000 fans, but nearly 90,000 is still not a problem.

As the player who scored the most goals for Barcelona among the active players, Iroh was naturally the first target of Barcelona fans in the stands, and in their perception, no one made them feel more disgusting than Iro, and the boos and insults were naturally the most numerous and loudest players.

Iroh is used to it, once he killed all sides in this stadium, and he didn't feel any pressure at all, in the Camp Nou, which has a frenetic atmosphere, Iro, who was born with a big heart, will only feel infinite motivation!

So he turned his head to look at Modric, who had an extremely strict expression, bumped it with his shoulder, and quipped: "Luca, do you feel that you have no strength in both legs?" ”

"Get out!" Modric rolled his eyes back, and then felt the boos coming from all sides, and his feet were really shaking.

Iroh patted Modric's shoulder and said with a meaningful smile: "Don't hold on, be nervous, I won't laugh at you, many young people who come to Camp Nou will feel weak, and haven't you consumed too much 'energy' from Lili recently?" ”

"Get out, get out of my mind as far as you want!"

"Haha......"

After such a fight, the only pressure left by Modric is gone, and he can put 100% combat power into the next game!

As soon as the home Barcelona players entered, the fans in the stands changed extremely quickly, and the boos immediately stopped abruptly, replaced by huge cheers, which swept the entire stadium from one side of the stands, and finally soared into the sky.

For the fans in the stands, instead of desperately booing the away team, it is better to sing the praises of the home team after they enter the stadium, and the comments and posters that have been prepared before are held high, so that their favorite players can see their efforts and then return the rewards in the game.

Messi, who has come all the way from La Masia, has become the new owner of the Camp Nou, and there are huge posters of Messi clearly visible everywhere.

It's just that Messi, who is in the limelight of them, now has only one person in his eyes - that is Ielloh, who is one year older than him.

"Leo, what?" Iniesta followed Messi's gaze and realized that his friend was watching Aelo.

Messi shook his head and replied casually: "No." ”

Iniesta shook his head with a wry smile, saw through it without saying it, and then said: "Let's go, warm up." ”

……

At the end of the 30-minute warm-up, the starting 11 of both sides entered their respective dressing rooms.

At this time, the on-site studio commentators were still nervously preparing for various tasks, and the reporters in the reporter hoarding area were chatting in twos and threes, and the fans in the stands also stopped chanting various slogans and prepared to shout again at the beginning of the game, and it was time to rest.

As Villas-Boas closed the locker room door and the sounds coming from the stands came to an abrupt halt, everyone instinctively looked at manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho glanced at his energetic squad and was very satisfied, but did not express it, with the league title at his fingertips, the FA Cup already in the final, and the only remaining Champions League semi-final, it was a very stressful time for the Chelsea players, and he knew that the attraction of hatred these days had helped the players to relieve a lot of pressure.

"Guys, you know what? Under God is my Jose Mourinho, and above me José Mourinho is not God, but ...... You're in front of you! Mourinho ignored the players' doubtful gazes and continued: "If it weren't for the efforts of all of you, even if I am the number one in the world, I will not be able to lead everyone to become Premier League champions, Champions League champions, world champions...... So in my mind, you will always be the most important being! But ......"

Mourinho was like a demagogue who mobilized the emotions of the players, and his voice changed: "...... There is one more obstacle in front of us, yes! It's us and Barcelona we're going to play against! We had no choice but to set the goal we set at the beginning of the season and become the goal of all the teams or players in the future! Come on!! Take out the Barcelona !! ”

"Kill Barcelona!!"

Immediately after, all the players shouted in unison.

At the same time, the home team's dressing room appears relatively calm, perhaps with a lot to do with Pep Guardiola's personality.

It took about five minutes to close the door before Pep Guardiola summoned the players who had finished their equipment and asked them to consolidate their technical and tactical ideas for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals to avoid distraction during the game.

"Brothers!"

As Guardiola opened his mouth to speak, all the players looked over.

'The first leg of this season's Champions League semi-finals will be played at Camp Nou in just over 10 minutes, we have been working hard for the last season to win the title, so there is no reason why we are down at 9/10, Chelsea are the defending champions and the best team in Europe in attack and defence at the moment, but let's not forget ...... If we knock out Chelsea, then we can also be treble-winners! ”

As soon as the words fell, many players' eyes lit up.

At present, the league is four points ahead of Real Madrid, the Copa del Rey is in the final, and the Champions League semi-finals, if you win all of them, isn't it also a legend?

Thinking of this, every player's eyes are full of desire.

Messi, in particular, has a resolute look in his eyes.
