Chapter 670: See you in the final

This season's Barcelona reminded everyone of Chelsea's past two seasons, especially in the Champions League, which is a replica of Chelsea.

Originally, when Qiao Wanxian joined Barcelona, many people doubted whether Qiao Cannon could accept the mess left by Rijkaard and bring Barcelona back to the top.

Now that the results are in, Joe's cannon has not only brought Barcelona back to the top, but never before! In the league, they have won seven rounds in advance, reached the final in the Copa del Rey, and in the Champions League, they swept Manchester United at Old Trafford with a surprising score of six goals!

You know, Manchester United is the Premier League hegemon this season!

Before the game, many English media outlets were building momentum for Manchester United, and the way of public opinion was to create a winning wave for the home team.

After all, Manchester United are the leaders of the Premier League, more or less representing the highest level of the Premier League, and they hope to deal an effective and fatal blow to Barcelona's itinerary at home.

But the result?

Exactly the opposite!

Originally, they thought that Manchester United could use the advantage of home to resist Barcelona's fierce attack, but in fact Manchester United simply couldn't; Originally they thought Cristiano. Ronaldo's name only, his form against Manchester United will be sluggish, and in fact the Portuguese has brought the biggest disgrace in the club's history; They thought that Joe Cannon would restrain himself in this game, but in fact, this shameless guy didn't have the idea of giving Ferguson face at all, and the purpose was to humiliate the Red Devils Manchester United!

Joe Cannon. You're just going too far!

In fact, they didn't know Qiao Wanxian's hardships at all.

Although the English media now devotes a certain amount of space every day to report on the suitability of Manchester City's club transfer, the team of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is actively communicating with Manchester City. But what they don't know is that there is another mysterious force operating behind the scenes, which wants to buy Manchester City FC, and that is Joe Cannon!

With Jovan's prestige in England and his series of brilliant achievements, there is little suspense about taking over the Manchester City club. Although in terms of price, Thaksin may bid higher, but the football club in England. It has always been more important to achieve results, traditions, and history, rather than money and profit.

Once Jowanxian became the chairman of Manchester City, the first thing he did was of course to compete with his rivals Manchester United.

Although in the city of Manchester. Manchester City has more fans, but a small Manchester obviously can't satisfy Qiao Wanxian's appetite, he has great ambitions and pursuits.

Chelsea have had unrivalled achievements over the past two seasons, but in terms of influence and appeal. There is still a big gap with Manchester United.

From any point of view. Manchester United are the first target of Jovan after he took charge of Manchester City.

This is also destined to make no reservations when Qiao Wan is idle against Manchester United.

Qiao Wanxian knows that the current Manchester United team looks very strong, very strong and conspicuous in the Premier League, but such a strong force is just an illusion that can blind people's eyes, because it is all the credit of one person - Ferguson.

Without Ferguson, Manchester United's results plummeted. There is also a gradual decline in influence, which is the same result as Jovan's departure from Chelsea.

Now Ferguson has revealed the idea of retirement. This, of course, caters to the little secret in Qiao Wanxian's heart.

This big win at Old Trafford has won countless reputations for Barcelona and Spanish football, and even the pro-Real Madrid media have praised Barcelona, chanting that Giao Wanxian is the master of world football!

After all, Real Madrid had been eliminated by Manchester United before.

Compared to this game that surprised everyone, another Champions League semi-final matchup also surprised fans.

The match took place at the Emirates Stadium against Arsene Wenger's Arsenal and Benitez's Liverpool.

Neither Arsene Wenger nor Rafael Benitez have reached a Champions League final, so both of them are serious about this game and they will be hoping to make history.

Arsenal, who played at home, lined up a 4-4-2 formation and did not play aggressively, wanting to control the situation first, and then use the home advantage to eat away at the opponent little by little to win this game.

Arsene Wenger's philosophy of football may seem positive and good-looking, but in many key battles, the professor will always be unexpectedly conservative. Perhaps this is also a factor in the team's long-term inability to have a stable championship income.

On the other hand, another Spanish manager, Rafael Benitez, was much more daring, not afraid of the momentum of the Emirates Stadium at all, and put out a very attacking line-up.

Villa on the left wing, Kuyt on the right and Fernando in the center up front. Torres, followed by Australian striker Colwill, Xavi. Alonso and Claude Makelele play in a double midfield.

Benitez's arrangement also surprised Wenger a little, in the Premier League, Arsenal once won 2-0 at home to Liverpool, but he didn't expect that the Spanish coach would dare to make a set of fighting postures.

After all, Benitez is young, and his coaching resume after coming to England is not prominent, obviously not attracting the attention of Wenger, and Arsenal, who are playing at home, has ignored it, intending to respond to all changes with the same.

Then in the 9th minute of the game, Liverpool scored a goal that was not a chance.

Kuyt's cross from the right flank was met by Torres' header in the box. Toure went up to the outside of the box, but it happened to fall to Spanish midfielder Xavi. At the feet of Alonsu.

Alonso is not only active defensively, has a strong ability to organize the ball, but also has a long-range shot from outside the box. At this moment, he faced the incoming ball, did not think, and calmly stopped the ball, and directly shot a long shot!

The ball was almost touching the ground and drilled into the bottom left corner of the goal!

Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann made a save, but the whip was out of reach.

1:0, Liverpool, who are playing away, take the lead!

Seeing that the team was behind, Wenger began to become nervous, realizing that Arsenal's current style of play may not be a good hand in the face of this group of wolf-like Red Army soldiers, and quickly adjusted his style of play to strengthen the team's interception ability.

Arsene Wenger's change of formation worked, and the rest of the first half was a stagger for both sides, with Arsenal often looking for chances through Thierry Henry's superior individual ability, while Liverpool struggled to create another chance.

It's just that now that Arsenal is behind the score, Liverpool is not in a hurry!

In the second half, Arsenal changed their formation again and began to strengthen their attack.

You know, this is the home field, if Arsenal can't win Liverpool at home, in the two-legged home-and-away game, Arsenal will almost leave the Champions League final with half a foot.

So Arsene Wenger has to make a choice, Arsenal has to step up their attack!

It's good to step up your attack, but if your team's defence is not well organized, you're likely to concede goals once you're counter-attacked.

And Arsenal's defense, since Vieira's departure, has never been reassuring!

It's the same with this game.

In the 67th minute of the game, Arsenal attacked in a big way, and when the young Cesc Fabregas was watching the ball, he was cut off directly from behind by the experienced Makelele. Alonso's pass from a precision-guided missile went straight to the left and found compatriot David Brown. Villa.

Such a hard-won opportunity, of course, Huluwa will not waste, he drove all the way into the ball, crossed the penalty area before the opposing player blocked, and the "Holy Child" Torres pushed the edge of the small penalty area and scored easily.

2:0!

Liverpool win another city at the Emirates Stadium!

Unwilling to be defeated, Arsene Wenger continued to deploy his forces to strengthen the attack in an attempt to turn the tide, but after taking the lead, Liverpool's defensive counter-attack played smoothly and the threat to the goal was far greater than that of Arsenal.

And in the 81st minute of the game, Colwill sent a through pass, Fernando. Torres burst into the box and shook off the goalkeeper to score his second goal of the game.

3:0!

Rafael Benitez's Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium and, like Barcelona, will be able to progress to the final if nothing else.

After the game, Qiao Wanxian sent text messages to Torres, Benitez and others, and the content was simple: "See you in the final." (To be continued......)
