Chapter 719: Return to the Finals

"Barcelona ~ Reversal!"

"Barcelona ~ Reversal!!"

"Barcelona ~ Reversal !!"

The whole Camp Nou stadium was filled with the cries of more than 90,000 Barcelona fans from the stands, each of them shouting such a very simple slogan with all their strength, and even from the big screen, many young fans, who may be only three or four years old, are also riding on their father's neck and shouting.

It was a very different game, and it was clear to everyone long before the game started.

Barcelona fans have been organising and preparing for this game since the 5-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur a week ago, and many Barcelona fans and official members are actively responding to this game to make the Camp Nou a strong backing for Barcelona's comeback.

Looking up, the stands around the Camp Nou are full of people, densely packed like ants, but what is even more terrifying is that their costumes are very neat, red and blue are separated, representing Barcelona's red and blue jerseys, neatly appearing in every stand area of the Camp Nou.

In addition, in addition to the main stand, on the second floor of the other three stands, many fans held up a yellow card, which is the color of Barcelona's away jersey, in addition to forming the Catalan regional flag, more importantly, forming a slogan, "Barcelona! Reversion! Barcelona! It happens to be a three-sided stand.

The entire Camp Nou stadium has not even started the game, and the fans are already shouting hoarsely, and they only have one slogan, "Barcelona ~ reversal!" Everyone is shouting, there is no noise, and when you are at the Camp Nou, you feel like you are in the middle of a vast and boundless ocean.

The sound of the fans again and again is like a huge wave high in this vast ocean, splitting your head and covering your face.

For all Barcelona fans, they have no other choice, this is the best way and means for them to support the team, and they hope to be able to use their shouts to stir up the fighting spirit and spirit of the fans, let them fight for this shirt on their bodies, and give them the courage and determination to reverse Tottenham Hotspur at home.

The shouts of more than 90,000 fans, the pre-match pledge of players to the press and media to fight for a comeback, all rolled out into a match that lasted only 90 minutes.

At the start of the game, Barcelona did hold their breath to turn the tide, and they took the lead in taking advantage of their home advantage after the opening, launching attacks on Tottenham Hotspur again and again, trying to win the opponent at the beginning of the home game.

Ye Qiu's lineup in this game also shows his caution and caution away from home, the goalkeeper is Cech, and the back line is Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago? Silva and Kyle, who is better defensively? Walker, with Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Phil in midfield? Jones, up front, is a trident combination of Ribery, Cavani and Messi.

After the passivity after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur was fully prepared before the game, so they did not panic, but continued to adopt tactics similar to the first leg of the two sides, and still blocked Barcelona's possession area in the middle line of the two sides, making the center circle around the most fierce stalemate between the two sides.

The Barcelona players also have a sense of relieving themselves of the situation, stubbornly trying to plan the attack on their home turf, they have changed the previous lesson of not working hard enough, and after the start of the first half, they are desperate to create chances, almost sparing physical strength to run and press.

Tottenham Hotspur is under this almost crazy pressing and pressing, and the attack is not effective at all, and can only take a defensive position.

Although Barcelona has the advantage, it has never been able to effectively penetrate the defense of Tottenham Hotspur, especially Barcelona has actively attacked the wings before, but this time Ye Qiu arranged for Kyle, who has better defensive ability and stronger body? Walker started and there were always three players at the back, plus Vidal and Phil in midfield? Jones's interception zone was not a problem defensively, and Barcelona struggled to find an effective way to attack.

When Robin van Persie was frozen up front, Barcelona's attack lacked penetration, they lacked that ability to attack, and could only be blocked by Tottenham Hotspur in the middle line again and again.

The embarrassed person seems to have been replaced by Tottenham Hotspur, and the Barcelona fans in the stands are also shouting wildly, because they think that as long as the team continues to play according to this trend, the hope of scoring goals is very high, even if it cannot be reversed, but at least it must play with the momentum of Barcelona and restore the dignity and pride of the team.

But all of that came to an end in the 43rd of the game.

Still diagonal attack, still central midfield, Thiago? Silva found Ribery with a long pass, who used his speed to tear through Puyol's defence and was on the verge of a breakthrough, but Puyol had to pull Ribery down and get a yellow card, while also giving Tottenham a free-kick.

Andrea Pirlo took the penalty himself, and Kompany headed at the back of the penalty area, goalkeeper Valdés reacted quickly and saved the ball, but there was chaos in the box. Jones grabbed the ball in the scuffle and scored with a powerful blast, 1:0!

The goal just before the end of the first half completely discouraged all the Barcelona players, because according to this scoreline, they would have to score seven goals in the game to turn Tottenham Hotspur around, which is almost impossible task.

After the restart of the second half, the situation turned around, less than two minutes after the game started, Messi took the ball on the right side and cut inward, and shot with the inside of his left foot to arc the goal, for the team to go to the next city, 2:0!

After successive goals, Tottenham Hotspur went on the offensive and Barcelona had completely lost their fighting spirit and began to go on the defensive.

Ye Qiu called on the players on the sidelines to actively participate in the attack, taking advantage of the current unstable foothold of Barcelona, and strive to score again, and Guardiola quickly made adjustments, he had to choose defense to deal with, and in this case, what he wanted was not to reverse the promotion, but to preserve the dignity of Barcelona.

Realizing that the overall situation has been decided, Ye Qiu does not plan to chase after the victory, but thinks about letting the main players get rest, using the opportunity to train newcomers, and arranging substitute players to go on the field to find a state, and at the same time to stay for the league.

So, Hazard and Raul came on the bench one after another, replacing Cavani and Messi, and by the seventy minutes, Ye Qiu was already very clear that Barcelona had basically given up, so he wanted to make the last substitution.

"Let Alves get on!" Just when Ye Qiu glanced back at the bench, Roland, who was very familiar and familiar with him? Shepas walked up to him and reminded, "He's very upset that he didn't start this game. ”

"That's the tactical need of the team!" Ye Qiu doesn't think it's anything, Kyle? Walker passing by Mauro? After Tasotti's carving, the defense is indeed much better than Alves, and his shape and strength are also very good, and his flexibility and speed are also quite good, so Ye Qiu arranged for him to play in this game to help the team defend.

"I know, but you also know that who doesn't want to be in such a focus battle?" Roland said with a smile.

Sometimes in the eyes of the coaching staff, the players are like a bunch of children, they will lose their temper because they don't get the opportunity to play, and then you have to treat them like children, not just be tough.

"Let him warm up, replace Kyle? Walker! Ye Qiu nodded and said, he is not a very unreasonable guy like Ferguson, he also knows how to be flexible, because he knows very well that it is a good thing that players want to play, which proves that players have fighting spirit and motivation.

As for the players who are unhappy with the manager, it's normal, when they don't get the chance to play, it's normal to have opinions, and slowly, when they get the chance to prove themselves, the relationship will naturally ease.

So after Alves' warm-up, Ye Qiu directly arranged for him to play, and at the same time cautiously reminded him.

"Daniel, be careful, don't get any more cards!" This is also one of the reasons why Ye Qiu arranged Alves as a substitute, if he gets another yellow card, he will miss the Champions League final, so the overall situation has been decided in the first leg, and Kyle will be arranged in the second leg? Walker starts, which makes sense, after all, to get Alves to play in the Champions League final.

But after the Brazilian right-back nodded to Ye Qiu on the sidelines, less than two minutes after he came on the field, when he was defending Iniesta, he pushed down the Barcelona midfielder from behind, causing him to be severely warned by the referee and get a yellow card, while Alves vented his dissatisfaction with the referee and Iniesta, thinking that Iniesta faked a fall.

"Alright, that's enough, Daniel!" Thiago? Silva hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Alves, who was about to put pressure on the referee and continue to argue for himself, "Are you crazy, are you crazy?" "In the end he almost roared.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this foul was deliberate, and the quarrel after that was also deliberate, he just wanted to let Ye Qiu and the coaching staff on the sidelines clearly know that he is very, very angry and dissatisfied now, because he doesn't want to sit on the bench in such an important game.

Even, it may be like what the agent said, this is Ye Qiu exerting pressure on behalf of the club, and don't play if he doesn't renew his contract.

Alves was taken by Thiago? Silva roared, looked at the sidelines again, and found that Ye Qiu, who had been standing on the sidelines, and the coaching staff were sitting back in the coach's seat, I don't know why, he had a feeling of fear in his heart, but he knew very well that as the agent said, he had to show his attitude, a very resolute attitude.

Only in this way can he fight for his due rights, because the renewal of the contract will be the last contract of his career, and Tottenham Hotspur also agreed to sign him in principle until retirement, but the two sides cannot agree on the salary, Alves hopes to be higher than Messi and Ribery, at least equal, because he does not have the high commercial income of these two superstars, but he feels that his performance on the pitch is not worse than them, and his role in the team is not lost to them.

But Tottenham Hotspur are willing to give him a raise, but a little lower than their two players, with captain Thiago? Silva is a level at the team's first salary, while promising to do more to help him promote his commercial image and sponsorships, for example in his native Brazil.

Negotiations between the two sides have been deadlocked for more than half a year, Alves is unwilling to budge, and Tottenham Hotspur is also not to be outdone.

Originally, Ye Qiu would almost never intervene in such negotiations, because Tottenham Hotspur was handed over to Peter in this regard? Kenyon and Ron? Gulley is in charge, and Ye Qiu only submits a player's evaluation and analysis report as their reference, but when the team considers the player's salary, it is impossible to take the performance on the pitch as the only reference factor, and other aspects have to be considered.

Alves's turmoil outsiders don't know what happened, and they think that Alves is eager to make contributions after he plays, and they are not rational and calm enough, and they feel sorry for him not to make it to the final.

Tottenham Hotspur relied on Ribery's two left-sided breakthroughs to create goals in the 76th and 79th minutes respectively, helping Raul and Hazzard break through the Barcelona goal respectively to lock the score at 4:0.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur beat Barcelona 4-0 away and sent the La Liga giants out of the Champions League with an aggregate score of 9-0, while they reached the Champions League final.

This is Tottenham's return to the Champions League final after two seasons of absence from the Champions League final.

After the game, Tottenham Hotspur faded away the impact of the Alves turmoil, and ignored the slackness of Alves, who disappeared after more than 20 minutes on the field, and happily celebrated the team's return to the Champions League final.

In the stands at the Camp Nou, the Barcelona fans were helpless, sad and even in tears, they had never suffered such humiliation, they were scored nine goals by the opponent in the two legs, and they were unable to fight back, is this still a season ago Barcelona unbeatable?

It is clear that the fans are dissatisfied, and they have even carried this dissatisfaction over to the team's banner, Pep Guardiola.

Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines and hugged every player who walked off the court, except for Alves, the Brazilian deliberately avoided Ye Qiu, perhaps because of embarrassment, or because he wanted to show an attitude, that is, he did not regret what he did.

No one notices this, and no one knows that Tottenham Hotspur have won big and there have been some contradictions within the team, except for the Tottenham dressing room, they all know exactly what is going on, but no one will say.

…………

…………

Tottenham Hotspur's return to the Champions League final also made the headlines of the world's newspapers the next day, but what shocked fans around the world was the way they returned to the Champions League final, which was the nine-goal slaughter of Barcelona, which was definitely a shocking attacking force.

From Napoli in the round of 16, to AC Milan, to Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur's performance is better than one round, and many media even believe that Tottenham Hotspur's state and performance were arranged by Ye Qiu and the coaching staff before, because not long ago, it was revealed by the media that Ye Qiu drew up a very detailed plan for the team to win the championship.

Ye Qiu denied this statement in an interview with the media, he said that the team's situation is changing rapidly, and the plan can never catch up with the changes, but he also admitted that after years of accumulation, the team has indeed accumulated very rich experience in many aspects, and has also established a set of contingency mechanisms.

Regardless, Tottenham's excellent performances have made them the favourites to win the Champions League this season, even after Bayern Munich eliminated Real Madrid on penalties the next day, and reached the final, where they dominated the final against Tottenham Hotspur.

This season's Champions League final was played at Bayern Munich's home stadium, the Allianz Arena.

But as many European football commentators have said, home advantage does have a certain effect, but in such a crucial game, who can have the last laugh depends on strength and on-the-spot performance.

The Champions League final has allowed Tottenham Hotspur to take a break from the two-front battle and start to devote themselves to the battle for the Premier League, because after the final round of the Premier League, there is still exactly a week before the Champions League final, and Tottenham Hotspur still has a lot of time to prepare.

After the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the team returned to London and traveled to Birmingham City three days later to challenge relegation team Aston Villa, which resulted in a 1-1 draw between the two sides, which led to the team conceding a goal caused by a paralyzing clearance by the main right-back Alves, and the Brazilian performed very poorly throughout the game, getting the lowest points of the game.

Ye Qiu criticized Alves in the locker room after the game, he thought that the Brazilian should reflect on his performance and attitude, and in the face of Ye Qiu's criticism, Alves did not dare to refute and remained silent.

The draw was also Tottenham's eighth draw this season, but it also led to the team being overtaken by Manchester City in the standings, which in turn was one point behind Manchester City and temporarily placed second in the table.

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Bolton Wanderers 4:1 away in the 34th round of the midweek, Alves didn't even enter the game squad, and the outside world gradually realized that there seemed to be a contradiction between the Brazilian right-back and Ye Qiu, so rumors of the Brazilian's departure gradually appeared in the newspapers, even if Tottenham Hotspur kept denying it.

With a win over Bolton, Tottenham Hotspur returned to the Premier League leader, two points ahead of Manchester City.

In the 37th round of the league, Manchester City reversed Queens Park Rangers 3:2 at home with two goals from Aguero and Dzeko in stoppage time, while Tottenham Hotspur defeated Fulham 2:0 at home, and the two sides continued to maintain a two-point gap, leaving the suspense of winning the championship to the final round.
