Chapter 137 Barcelona is coming

The defeat in the first leg made Barcelona almost bid farewell to the European competition this season in advance, and even the always arrogant Catalan media could hardly shout "We will qualify at Stamford Bridge!" The slogan is more of "honor", "dignity", and "faith".

Even media outlets such as Shijie and El País are not optimistic about Barcelona, so you can imagine what kind of pressure Barcelona faces in the second leg of the quarterfinals.

Barcelona are in a bad situation, but their arch-rivals Real Madrid are more dashing. In the first leg, Jose Mourinho led his team to a 2-0 home win over Fabio Capello's Juventus, and with Mourinho's defensive line, it should not be a problem to advance at the Alp Stadium in the second leg.

Compared with Barcelona fans, Real Madrid fans are in a good mood, and when they see the tragic experience of their sworn enemies, they all send "care" and "greetings" as soon as possible.

Real Madrid's royal newspaper "As" even typed "Barcelona, Real Madrid supports you spiritually!" Everyone knows that this is not sympathy at all, but naked irony, and the two century-old enemies are indeed tit-for-tat everywhere.

There is little suspense in the Chelsea vs Barcelona match, but there is no shortage of media attention between the nouveau riche and the giants. Of course, before the second leg began, the media's eyes were more focused on the classic battle at Camp Nou.

The first gimmick: Torres.

He used his superb individual ability to burst into the Barcelona penalty area in the opening 23 seconds, turning around with an incredible Cruyff to eat the golden lion king Puyol and using the rainbow to trick Edmilson to give Chelsea the first place. The German "Bild", the largest circulation in Europe, even opened a special page to comment on every aspect of the Spanish golden boy's action, and Zuihou came to the conclusion that ordinary players can't do such a move at all, dexterous and elegant, liliang and soft, he is the second generation of golden bomber!

Obviously, the Germans took the opportunity to praise Torres and also praise their own legend Klinsmann, and the clever use of language killed two birds with one stone, so it is no wonder that German newspapers sell so well.

The second gimmick: Rooney.

Although he scored two goals in the last game, the brightest moment was the "closing of the door" of Puyol and Edmilson, and then the pendulum played Valdés to complete the goal. This liliang and skill, speed and passion collide with the goal, unanimously received a full score of 10 points from all British media, and was even called the most classic goal of the English people in a century!

English football has always been open and closed, taking a simple and rough route, Rooney's Liliang continues the glorious tradition of England, and Jishu inherits the mantle of the alien Ronaldo, which makes all England crazy.

The third gimmick: Kaka.

Brazil's "Globo" once described Kaka as a Brazilian who relied on European jishu to dominate the stadium! Indeed, his long-distance run does not have the traditional fancy skills of Brazil, but he dribbled the ball from the midfield to the front court in a flash of lightning, and broke down the opponent's defense with lightning speed, like a bullet out of the chamber, trying to dodge?

Many people can imitate the "card-style" shooting, but Kaka's long-distance run, all shijie is the only one, and there is no other branch! His fame is destined to leave a magnificent mark in football history.

Fourth gimmick: one cannon VS three geniuses.

In the first round at Camp Nou, Joe's cannon brought three of the world's most outstanding young talents to the game, and what kind of visual impact will he bring to everyone in the second round?

At the start of the season, Chelsea's ticket prices were hovering in the middle of the English table, but after a series of successive wins brought to the team, Stamford Bridge ticket prices soared to second place in the English league behind Arsenal.

The second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at Stamford Bridge on 7 March reached a packed capacity. Ticket prices are said to have risen to £68, and the total ticket price has reached £2.9 million, setting a new record for Stamford Bridge ticket revenue.

In Chelsea's dressing room, there was a lot of joy, Terry and Wayne Rooney, the two team's top sullen menklers, were still talking with relish about which bar had more beautiful girls and which girls were beautiful, and countless bachelors who listened to it had their eyes lit up.

On the other side, Qiao Wanxian took out the tactical board, and scratched something in a good way, and then heard Boasgao shouting: "Quiet!" ”

The voice stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Wanxian and the tactical board.

Qiao Wanxian said with a dignified face: "The latest news, Rijkaard has a more surprising backline, left-back Van Brondhorst, the central defender is the partner of Edmilson and Marquis, and right-back Puyol. ”

Rooney smiled proudly: "Haha, Oleg was red card in the last game, and Belletti was also blown up by me, Barcelona actually put Puyol in the right-back position, thinking that this would be able to prevent me?" ”

Qiao Wanxian glared at him and told him to shut up, and then recalled what Boas had looked like before, and said in a decent manner: "Putting Puyol on the side is obviously to strengthen the defense, Kaka, you lean more to the left and assist Rooney to completely crush Rijkaard's Jihua; Marquis is not tall and has average bounce, Rooney can go more to the penalty area, form a double barrier with Torres, and launch a high-point bombardment on him; Barcelona's midfield without Marquis is obviously not hard enough, and Makelele and Frank Lampard can use the home advantage to fight fiercely and control the ball......"

The tactics are arranged like this, but when they arrived on the field, Rooney, who was on the opposite side of the game with Puyol, ignited a fighting spirit, that is, Lao Tzu abolished Oleg, destroyed Belletti, and another Puyol was also sent to the muzzle!

In the first ten minutes of the game, Rooney and Puyol had a one-on-one scene three times! Fortunately, Rooney, who had cheated, once again showed the stunned nature of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and twice successfully passed, giving Frank Lampard and Torres one shot each to the goal, forcing the Barcelona backline to scramble.

“…… I'm glad to see Rijkaard opt for a man-to-man defensive play, and it looks like the Dutch boss hasn't fully recovered from a big first-leg defeat. The commentator at the scene was very proud, and his tone was full of mockery: "But it is also said that in the face of the all-powerful football mentor Joe Cannon, Rijkaard obviously has no capital to compete." I'm curious as Rijkaard has fielded another attacking midfield combination of Xavi and Deco, is he trying to play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge? ”

Then he suddenly smiled: "Maybe in this way, even if Zuihou Barcelona loses the game, Rijkaard's courage will be praised by the critics...... But I'm not sure if this was a deliberate attempt by Rijkaard to gain fame and sympathy when he knew he couldn't win......"

The current Stamford Bridge also has a bit of a devil's home atmosphere, not only the commentators ridiculed and sarcastic, but even the fans in the stands are also hot. As soon as the Barcelona players touched the ball, they let out bursts of boos, and the fans who were closer to the Barcelona command seat were frantically banging on the seats and props in their hands, trying to make the biggest noise to scare Rijkaard into a turtle with a shrunken head and scare him into a soft egg......

In this game, Qiao Wanxian tried to achieve the maximum offensive effect, scoring more goals, and the 5ml No. 1 was handed over to the attacking players: Rooney, Torres, Kaka, Lampard, Joe Cole.

It is precisely because of this combination of offensive and defensive players that Barcelona created an excellent scoring opportunity in the 14th minute of the game.

It was a mistake from Chelsea full-back Sergio Ramos – the Spaniard, who didn't use the number 1 today, felt he was in great shape today, dribbling forward after a widening on the right flank, and was soon strangled by Van Bronckhorst.

Ramos, who mistakenly thought that he was like a divine help today as he was in the last game, did not choose to knock back to Joe Cole, but instantly stepped on a few fancy feints under his feet, and then ...... Xavi wins the ball and Barcelona launches a counterattack!

"Karma? What's going on? Ramos, who realized that he had lost the ball for the first time, looked at the ball in shock, and wanted to play on the right side of Camp Nou, I could gallop on the right side, why was it embarrassing at home?

Ramos, who is known as "Desperate Saburo" and "Water Master", said that he was extremely positive on the court, and at the moment of conceding the ball, he didn't even care about his chagrin and turned around and ran.

Xavi is only 25 this year, far from the point of being a midfield master, but the unforced passing has also reached a certain skill, and the long pass accurately found Ronaldinho, who was successful in the anti-offside position and empty around him!

The more than 5,000 Barcelona diehards who were full of grief saw this scene and immediately cheered, and the shouts of "Ronaldinho" and "Ronaldinho" resounded across Stamford Bridge.

Barcelona's dominant style of play is possession, but that doesn't mean they won't play counter-attacking. In fact, defensive counter-attacks are a must for any big club, and the real textbook counter-attacks come from big teams that rarely play counter-attacks.

There is a huge void in the Chelsea backline, in front of the new Shijie footballer, has become nothing, Ronaldinho starts, accelerates!

Terry fell to the ground, and Ronaldinho was as light as a swallow...... Cannavaro grabs, Ronaldinho's signature oxtail appears at Stamford Bridge!

"Whew, Ronaldinho! That's right, he skillfully passed the two central defenders of John Terry and Cannavaro, could it be that Barcelona at Camp Nou is going to perform a miracle at Stamford Bridge? ”
