Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Final Championship Battle

Barcelona returned to Spain with a 5-1 scoreline, and this time Barcelona fans can be happy for days, and it seems that Leeds United, the defending champions of the Champions League, can no longer stop them from moving forward, and this season's team is basically a sure thing to reach the last four of the Champions League.

But......

When the news came in England, Barcelona fans were suddenly dumbfounded!

What the!?

Shaq is coming back to Leeds!?

How is this possible!?

This...... This...... That's not going to work!

As the season progresses, Barcelona fans have become accustomed to the team's victory with the help of Shaq's continuous goals, scoring 137 goals and 20 assists in 47 games, which is absolutely god-like data.

Shaq has become an irreplaceable leader in Barcelona!

Now, suddenly hearing Shaq's phrase "at the right time, at the right opportunity, I will be back", the Catalans are going crazy, and even many radical fans are already accusing Shaq of his loyalty to Barcelona, while many more are thinking about it...... Why did Shaq say that?

In the eyes of the Catalans, Barcelona's advantage over Leeds United is all-round, except that Leeds United is the parent club of Shaq's debut, but that should not be a problem, otherwise Shaq would not have left Leeds to join Manchester United.

So...... What's the problem!?

Why did Shaq perform so well at Barcelona, but still want to leave?

In the early hours of the morning, Zong Wan'er, who had only slept after watching this game, asked Shaq when he touched the bed: "Husband, do we really want to meet England?" Back to Leeds!? ”

Shaq chuckled. Pulled the quilt up and covered it tightly for her daughter, and then she said in a suppressed voice: "There must be a day when I go back, but it must not be now, maybe a few years later, okay...... Go to sleep. ”

"Well, if you want to go back. You must tell me in advance! Moving is a hassle! ”

"Alright, okay, got it!"

Shaq doted on his daughter and patted his wife's little face, and then comforted her to sleep, he suddenly felt that maybe he was too irresponsible to say that, Zong Wan'er is a Chinese woman, and even her parents hope that their daughter can have a fixed place to live, and follow her all day long...... It doesn't seem like a problem.

The next day, on the official website of the newspaper Marca, an inquiry window popped up for visitors. The question is the reason for Shaq's departure, the first option is the conflict between Shaq and Cruyff, the second is that the fans do not support Shaq enough, the third is that Shaq is not adapted to life in Spain, and the fourth is ...... Other.

Most of the fans are a little extreme, and as a result, the first option has become the target chosen by as many as 56% of people, and it is obvious to everyone that Shaq used the goal to scold Cruyff over and over again, and even during that time it has become a symbol of Shaq's celebration of the goal. It can be seen how deep Shaq's grudge against Cruyff is.

At this time...... Maybe it's really time to put the "godfather" under some pressure!

Shaq had an unpleasant time in Barcelona and he wanted to "go home". But the Catalans are reluctant to let Shaq go, they have not won the league title this season, Shaq has scored 90 goals in 30 league games, and has already set a record for the number of goals scored by the top scorer in La Liga, and is even expected to exceed 100 goals, Shaq is definitely the key to whether Barcelona can regain the league title this season.

Shaq's 24 goals in nine games in the Champions League is even more important. Where Barcelona can go in the end depends on Shaq's play, as for the Copa del Rey Shaq also scored 23 goals in 8 games, whether the team can become the treble this season depends on Shaq's personal performance, at this time Shaq is in a mood...... Barcelona can't afford it!

So, everyone pointed the finger at the "godfather" Cruyff. Fans think that Cruyff should not have a conflict with Shaq, and when he said Simon? Grayson's words are also too much, "Brutal Simon" has now completely proven his ability, Barcelona has not tasted defeat this season, and created a team winning streak, undefeated record, such a former World Cup champion, Confederations Cup champion, Premier League champion, Champions League champion, FA Cup champion, League Cup champion, Club World Cup champion, UEFA Super Cup champion, Community Shield champion, etc., only one European Cup champion is missing to complete the "Grand Slam" head coach, You Cruyff...... Are you really qualified to accuse him!?

On Barcelona's official website, a fan group took the lead in raising its voice: Pride and complacency are by no means the driving force for us to always move forward, and Cruyff should pay tribute to Shaq and Simon for his arrogance. Grayson apologizes!

As soon as this voice came out, there was a huge response, and countless fans expressed their approval on the official website, and many even left messages about Cruyff's negative impact on Barcelona over the years.

For a while, Cruyff was pointed out by thousands of people, and the huge pressure rushed to Cruyff at once, and at this time, Barcelona President Russell had already called Cruyff, he didn't say anything, just asked the "godfather" to go to Barcelona's official website to take a look.

When Rosell first became president of Barcelona, he won because of Cruyff's support, but the Dutchman has had enough of all the decisions of the club over the years...... An old man should do what an old man should do!

Of course, now Russell is not worried about Shaq leaving at all, he believes that at least Simon? Grayson won't consider leaving until he leads the team to ten championships, and what can other teams give Simon? Grayson's treatment, rights, Barcelona can not only provide, but also better!

There was a lot of commotion outside, but in fact, Barcelona seemed very calm inside, and some people who were familiar with Shaq, such as Rivero, Krissettig, Ben? Parker, Alaba, and others, they don't believe that Shaq will leave Barcelona, at least not at all, because the current head coach of Barcelona is Simon? Grayson, how do they feel...... It's not an exaggeration to say that they are in love with father and son, Shaq will definitely stay here and do his best to help Simon? Grayson got good grades.

And some people who don't know Shaq very well, after a little communication with their companions, they quickly calmed down, Shaq may leave in the future, but it is by no means this season, and even in the last two or three years, it is unlikely, unless the "brutal Simon" is fired by Barcelona, but the probability of this kind of thing happening is not even one in 10,000, Chairman Russell is not a fool, this is from the time he knew to get Simon first? Grayson, instead of going directly to Shaq to see it!

The calm in the Barcelona team is not known to outsiders, and the news that Shaq may return to Leeds has only been noisy for two days, because the 31st round of La Liga is about to start, and this time it is time for the Spanish derby, and Barcelona will go to the Bernabeu Stadium to play against rivals Real Madrid.

At present, Real Madrid is still 9 points behind, in second place in the standings, and they also have the same city rival Atletico Madrid behind them to catch up, the gap between Madrid and the two is only 2 points, Prandelli and his team are in a very difficult stage, fortunately he has just led the team to defeat Bayern Munich 2-1 away, coupled with the recent news that Barcelona is going to leave, it is not impossible for Real Madrid to beat Barcelona at home.

Of course, this is just Prandelli's wishful thinking, as if Barcelona should be in chaos, in fact, it is quite calm at the moment, the team has hardly been affected, and Shaq's hard work in training can still infect everyone, everyone is just waiting to beat their rivals in the Spanish derby and win the championship in one fell swoop.

Facing their arch-rivals Barcelona at the Bernabeu Stadium, Prandelli and his team will certainly give enough attention to this game, and they still have the strongest squad they can come up with so far, C. Ronaldo, Coentrão, Desagoev, Lucas? Moa, Shahin, Real Madrid's Victor? Sora, José? Angel, Papadopoulos, Varane, David? Luiz, Casillas and other players were all in the field, and they had a detailed plan for how to defend Shaq early on.

Real Madrid's tactics did make a huge difference when the game started, and Prandelli, as the Italian manager, was unquestionable in defence.

For the entire 40 minutes, Real Madrid did not fall behind in a fierce battle with Barcelona, Shaq's two shots failed to hit the woodwork, and Papadopoulos, who followed him, was definitely a world-class centre-back, and most importantly...... Papadopoulos knows Shaq very well, having been teammates at Manchester United for four years, and they are really no strangers to each other.

But apparently Real Madrid forgot how comprehensive Shaq's individual abilities were, and Prandelli didn't really understand the "solar system tactics"!

In the 42nd minute of the game, the assist was made to Ben in front of the penalty area on the left side of Real Madrid. Parker delivered a brilliant pass, and instead of sending the ball to his good brother Shaq at the top of the arc of the penalty area, he sent the ball diagonally towards Real Madrid's right side of the penalty area!

Astute Vasquith in Ben? The moment Parker sent the pass, he flashed past Shaq and drilled straight in......

At this time, Papadopoulos subconsciously chose to continue to keep an eye on Shaq, which is also his task in this game!

So, Vasquez chased the ball in the penalty area on the right side of Real Madrid, dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, and kicked the ball into the bottom left corner of the Real Madrid gate with his left foot...... 1:0！

At the end of the first half, Barcelona did not have the advantage and played away from home, always booed by Real Madrid fans...... Finally ahead! (To be continued......)
