Chapter 257: The Opponent is Barcelona

"At the end of the match, Dortmund have once again qualified for the quarter-finals, one step closer to the heights they reached last year! Congratulations to them, tenacious team, hard team! ”

As Orlansky's final commentary came out, the referee's whistle was already sounding.

Lin Yu and his teammates walked to the sideline hand in hand, and then swooped down at the same time, sliding down the slippery ground for a long distance, and then everyone had the innocent smile of childhood on their faces.

The volcano at the Westphalian Stadium erupted again, and the shouts of tens of thousands of fans resounded in the sky.

In contrast, Manchester City's players are unhappy, and some players are even more remorseful and unwilling tears, after all, they also want to win, but also want to go further, this game from the beginning, should have Manchester City dominant, but now, it is not Manchester City who celebrates the victory there, but Dortmund.

By the next day, the German sports media had covered the shocking battle, and even some mainstream media, not sports newspapers, had published bulletins in more prominent places in the newspapers.

Even the Munich media, which has always looked down on Dortmund and has always liked to criticize Lin Yu, had to sincerely praise this time: "The game is really exciting!" ”

In other words, the two-legged match between Dortmund and Manchester City is a reversal march.

From being down 0:3 away to 2:3 getting two away goals! At that time, many media affirmed the preciousness of these two away goals, but at that time, not many people thought that these two away goals could have much effect. After all, the winning side is still Manchester City.

But when it came to the home field, Lin Yu scored twice again. With four goals in two legs, Manchester City was eliminated completely. How can such a thing not be wonderful, how can it be said that it is not a miracle?

With these four goals, Lin Yu has also reached 10 goals in the Champions League this season, which is only 4 away from his Champions League goals last season, and it is not difficult to catch up.

When people talk about Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, they have to mention the winner of last season's Champions League Golden Boot, because he always seems to be in the spotlight.

If last season's Champions League was a season in which Lin Yu made a name for himself, then this season's Champions League. It is the season for Lin Yu to consolidate his fame and show himself! With his goals and outstanding individual performances, more and more people around the world began to like him, and the number of his fans around the world began to increase significantly.

One of the most obvious examples is that he currently has 50 million followers on Facebook and 20 million followers on Twitter, which is much more than Cristiano Ronaldo, the most football star. Although it may have been influenced by domestic fans, it is a fact that his fans are growing all over the world.

Seeing Lin Yu's wonderful performance, many people gave up on Lin Yu last season. The giants who were unwilling to pay Lin Yu high wages regretted it.

To have such a player, it's a blessing for the whole team, not signing him. It's really a pity, and I can even say I regret it.

Although when interviewed by the media. The presidents of those giant teams are very stubborn and say that it doesn't matter, saying that the players who are better than Lin Yu are already in their team. But I have to admit that when they saw Lin Yu, it was like a pervert staring at a falling beauty, and that kind of desire and need, the look they wanted to get, was completely exposed.

After the game, Manchester City Club secretly asked Dortmund tentatively about the possibility of Lin Yu's transfer, after losing to Dortmund, this team stopped in the Champions League again, of course they were unwilling, of course, they also wanted to make the team stronger, and Lin Yu, who almost single-handedly defeated them, became the person they wanted the most.

As the senior management of Dortmund, they are naturally happy to see such a situation, as Lin Yu's value continues to grow, they can feel that they can no longer afford to raise this big Buddha, even if they want to keep Lin Yu, it is meaningless, the team has no money, it is such a tragedy, if they also have the wealth of Manchester City, of course, they will be desperate to keep Lin Yu, even if they give Lin Yu the salary of the world's top player.

And now, they can only sell Lin Yu in exchange for some funds, the better Lin Yu's performance, the more teams want to get Lin Yu, there is no doubt about this.

In addition to Manchester City, some giants began to take the initiative to contact Dortmund, all asking Lin Yu's price.

This time, Lin Yu finally didn't have to beg those giants to take him in one by one, a player like him was definitely popular in the world.

Of course, these teams not only sent people to contact Dortmund's top management, but also those who were familiar with Lin Yu, and also called Lin Yu's agent directly to see if they could directly poach Lin Yu privately, so that they could pay a little less transfer fee.

As a result, they received a reply of "at least 10 million a year".

Lin Yu is definitely a lion's mouth, and unlike last season, at the beginning of this season, he directly called out the salary he wanted, and he couldn't afford to pay this amount, I'm sorry, then you don't have to worry about it anymore.

In European football, there are not many teams that can afford to pay players an annual salary of 10 million, which can make many teams directly daunted at once.

Lin Yu doesn't care what others think of him, he thinks he is worth this annual salary, and he may be almost good now, but if he can lead Dortmund to win the Champions League this season, it will definitely be worth it, there is no doubt about it, because he is even better than Ronaldo back then, Real Madrid can pay Ronaldo a sky-high annual salary at that time, and can pay Manchester United a sky-high transfer fee, so in this era of rampant materialism and inflation, an annual salary of 10 million is nothing.

So what he means is that he doesn't want to transfer at all now, he has to wait until he gets the Champions League trophy before transferring, at that time, his status and value are completely different.

After the quarter-finals of the Champions League. There is still a long way to go before the next quarter-finals, and the Bundesliga is still in full swing.

From the twenty-second round to the twenty-seventh round. Borussia Dortmund still maintain a winning streak and are 12 points ahead of Bayern Munich in the standings. With seven rounds left until the end of the league, this gap is almost impossible to tie, so many Dortmund media have begun to prepare to celebrate Dortmund's fourth consecutive league win.

Lin Yu's individual goals have also increased from 31 to 36, only four goals away from Gerd Muller's record, and there are seven league games to go, and four goals does not seem to be a difficult thing, which also makes many who once laughed at Lin Yu at the beginning of the season too arrogant. The media who dared to compare with Gerd Muller became honest, and they are now scared, just for fear of being slapped in the face by Lin Yu again, this is no longer a slap in the face, it is simply stepping on their faces and laughing wildly.

Dortmund's Champions League quarter-final opponent has been drawn, and when this opponent was drawn, many people were suffocated and despaired.

Even some of the players couldn't help but turn pale.

Because the opponent is not another team. It's Barcelona from Spain, the former six-time champion, a super team with Messi and Neymar!

Although Barcelona were humiliated by Bayern Munich 7-0 on aggregate in the Champions League last season, there are times when any team flips in the gutter. Barcelona are no exception, and their quality is undeniable, at least for Borussia Dortmund. Barcelona are much tougher than Bayern Munich.

Although Bayern Munich is powerful, it is an old rival after all. They know Bayern Munich very well and have also won against Bayern Munich several times. But Barcelona is different, this team is mysterious and powerful for Dortmund, and it is simply impossible not to be nervous against such a team.

Interestingly, if Borussia Dortmund can make it past Barcelona to reach the semi-finals, they will face the winner between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Almost all Borussia Dortmund players and Borussia Dortmund fans want Bayern Munich to be the winner, because then they can get their revenge in the Champions League, and they will have to fight for the feud they struck last season.

Although Real Madrid's squad has received many additions this season, its strength is not necessarily better than before, and their record against Bayern in recent seasons is really not good, so the media is not optimistic about Real Madrid, so there is still a possibility of another German derby in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich have been suppressed by Borussia Dortmund in the league and they will also want to teach Dortmund a lesson in the Champions League, they think they won last season and can definitely win this season, so they are full of expectations for the semi-finals.

But at the moment, the two teams have to face the opponents in front of them, one is Barcelona and the other is Real Madrid, both opponents should not be underestimated.

It's really normal to be against such a team and be eliminated, so there's no need to be surprised.

Of course, Lin Yu also knows Barcelona very well, because his father used to be a Real Madrid fan (and still is, but he seems to like Dortmund more), so every time the Spanish national derby was in the past, Lin Yu would be forced by his father to watch the game, and as a result, he had a very deep understanding of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Barcelona is very strong, there is no doubt about it, but Lin Yu does not have time to think about these things, analyzing the opponent and finding out the things that are suitable for tactics is what the coaching staff cares about.

After all, this is the first time he has competed with Barcelona, and what are the characteristics of the opponent, you can't see it just by looking at it, only if you really try it, then you will have a clearer understanding.

The opponent is very strong, so he can't make the slightest mistake, and in order to train, he even gave up the opportunity to play with Mia, and he can only say sorry to Mia on the phone.

At this time, for Lin Yu, he really couldn't be distracted.

Mia understands Lin Yu's style very well, in fact, from the beginning of contact with Lin Yu, intersecting with Lin Yu, and becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with Lin Yu, she thought that there would be such a time, Lin Yu is a football player, and there are a lot of busy times, and there will definitely be this kind of situation where there is no time to accompany her.

She had been prepared for a long time, and she was not uncomfortable in her heart, but she was just a little disappointed.

Luckily, footballers have a lot of vacation time to use every year, and the two of them can have their own entertainment time, which is much better than many salaried people.

What's more, even if there is a game day, Mia can go to watch Lin Yu's game to relieve the feeling of longing in her heart. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
