Chapter 145: Coward?

Barça's infighting was exposed by the all-powerful British media, the Spanish media confronted with silence and the Italian media hyped the news. In order to crack down on Barcelona, their reporters also went out of their way to interview Barcelona. Of course, they won't get much of a positive response.

The Italian media knew that this would be the result, and they didn't care about it. As long as it makes Barcelona uncomfortable.

British media interviewed Milan on the issue.

Maldini said: "I am saddened by this, we want to play against the strong Barça. ”

The British press believed that Maldini kept the joy in his heart and said these words insincerely.

Tang Jue said: "This news is very likely to be true, and this is because Milan has put too much pressure on them. Under such strong pressure, timid people will not be able to control their emotions, and infighting is a very normal thing. ”

The Italian media believes that the timid person in Tang's mouth is Ronaldio. Ronaldinho, who was in a difficult situation, did not give any media interviews to refute Tang Jue. The other Barça players didn't say anything in front of the media either. Only Rijkaard said to the media: "He's not a coward, he's going to prove himself at Camp Nou." ”

The media reporter wanted to take the opportunity to find out whether the British media report was true, Rijkaard avoided the topic and said to the media: "Barcelona is very united now, we don't have any problems!" ”

Regarding the news of Barça's infighting, Ancelotti said: "I don't believe this news, it may be a smoke bomb deliberately released by Barça. The aim is to make us underestimate. ”

Ancelotti's words are very artistic, and if Barcelona thinks that Ancelotti's words are problematic, then they admit that there is infighting in Barcelona. If they don't respond, then it means that what Ancelotti said is true, and Barcelona are deliberately spreading false news.

This is negative news for Barça no matter how it is answered. Ancelotti, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, stabbed Barcelona fiercely.

The Italian media happily took the sword in Ancelotti's hand and went to interview Barcelona. Barcelona responded with silence at the end, and the Italian media hyped it up in order to win the second leg. Deliberately unleashing fake messages. It's not something a strong team should do. They have lost the demeanor of a wealthy family!

As for whether Barcelona has infighting, it doesn't matter, anyway, the blow to Barcelona has now been completed.

Modern football is inseparable from the media, and the media is inseparable from football, they are interdependent. Media through football. Attract more people to follow them. Thus increasing sponsored ads. Football expands its reach through the media.

……

The media war had already begun before the game, and for Milan, they used the media to strike at Barcelona. It's just one way. The key is to win on the pitch, so Ancelotti has not relaxed his transformation of the Milan backline at all.

In the match against Messina, Stam brought down the opposing striker, and the responsibility was ostensibly on Stam. Actually, the blame is not all on him, and if someone had helped defend at the time, Stam would definitely not have fouled him.

The problem of helping to defend has become a problem that Ancelotti has to solve, and in these days of training, Ancelotti has constantly emphasized the help between defenders.

And Rijkaard, after resolving the team's infighting, was busy solving the problem of defensive infighting. Puyol told Rijkaard about the outcome of the discussion at the San Siro that night, and after careful consideration, Rijkaard once again perfected his defensive strategy against Tang Jue.

A large net was being woven in full swing, just waiting for the game to start, and Tang Jue was in the middle of the net, making him unable to move.

Both coaches were working around the defensive side of the game almost simultaneously. The reason for this is that these two teams are quite sharp in attack. Both managers are confident in attack, and they both believe that their attacking line is the strongest in the world.

Of course, Ancelotti has other thoughts in it, if at the Camp Nou, his attacking line is contained by Barcelona, then he can only rely on his own defensive line. If they can contain Barcelona and let them not score, or only let them score one goal, it will be Milan who will advance to the final in the end.

This is Ancelotti's wishful thinking.

For Rijkaard, he believes his attacking line will break down Milan's defence. Of course, this is not enough, if you don't defend Tang Jue strictly and let him score away goals, it will be a nightmare. Milan can even use away goals to complete their hopes of qualifying for the final.

……

The second round is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on April 26. The day before this match, the match between Arsenal and the yellow submarine Villarreal, will be staged.

Arsenal arrived in Villarreal, Spain, two days early for this game. Arsene Wenger was very cautious when interviewed at the airport. Speaking to the media, he said: "We will definitely use all our skills to face Villarreal. ”

The day after Arsenal arrived in Spain, Carlo Ancelotti led his team to Barcelona, Spain. For a time, Spain became the center of world football. The two matches that will determine the promotion to the finals are about to be played in this country.

The Spanish media believes that Villarreal has little hope of qualifying, compared to Arsenal, they are weaker than each other in both attack and defense, unless a miracle happens, Villarreal, who entered the Champions League semi-finals for the first time, will stop in the semi-finals.

The Spanish media put all their hopes of qualifying for the final on Barcelona. In terms of scoreline, Barcelona's form is a bit more precarious than Villarreal's, but they are stronger. This is where the hope of the Spanish media lies.

They expect Barcelona to have a beautiful counterattack at Camp Nou!

When Milan and his entourage came out of Barcelona International Airport, there were already many media waiting outside. Both in terms of the number of journalists and the number of media, it is much more than Arsenal to the city of Villarreal. Two semi-finals, Milan and Barcelona have a strong conversation. Obviously more eye-catching.

In the face of an emotional press, Ancelotti and Maldini stepped out of the ranks. This is something that the club has arranged for a long time. The reason why Tang Jue was not allowed to be interviewed by the media was to protect him. In Italy, the club can stop the Spanish media, in Spain they have no choice.

Tang's "coward" undoubtedly angered the Spanish media and Barcelona, and Milan knew that they should protect their players in this way.

Carlo Ancelotti was smiling as reporters surrounded him. The Marca reporter asked: "Mr. Ancelotti, how are you going to defend Barca's front three?" They found the back of the net on a number of occasions at Camp Nou. ”

The meaning of the Marca newspaper reporter is obvious, in Camp Nou, Barcelona are the division of kings. This season. No one can get out of it all here. The Barcelona Trident has captured the opposing city several times here.

Carlo Ancelotti said with a smile: "Barça's front three are strong, but in the last game, they were fine. I'm sure my players will stifle their play. ”

Seeing the move is what Ancelotti has always done, and he speaks with the facts of the last game. The words were loud and clear. Although you can't see the toughness. But it's soft and hard.

A reporter from the Daily Mail asked: "Barcelona have not come forward to confirm what happened about the infighting. What do you think about this? ”

The corners of Ancelotti's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a look of contempt, and said lightly: "People who dare not face reality." Can't be truly powerful. ”

The reporter of the team newspaper asked: "Do you think Barcelona's backline can prevent Don's attacking power?" ”

Of course, they care about the players of their own country. Ancelotti's face changed, and he smiled with a relaxed smile: "This question, you should ask Mr. Rijkaard, and he will answer you." As for my opinion, it doesn't matter anymore, I believe he studied more deeply than I did! ”

……

Maldini was also surrounded by the media, and he had the same smile on his face, but unlike Carlo Ancelotti, he had a smile full of confidence. Milan's confidence peaked in a 2-0 win over a mighty Barcelona at the San Siro and a victory over Messina three days later.

A reporter from the British Guardian asked: "Are you confident about the game the day after tomorrow?" ”

Maldini smiled and asked, "Of course, why don't you have confidence?" ”

The reporter immediately asked: "Do you think Ronaldinho will perform well in the game the day after tomorrow?" ”

Maldini smiled: "I hope he can overcome the difficulties and show his ability in the game. It's exciting to beat Barcelona like that! ”

The reporter of Roma Sport asked: "What mentality will Milan have for the game after tomorrow?" ”

Maldini laughed: "Like me now, face the game with a relaxed mindset. His face suddenly became serious: "Barcelona is strong, we are ready for this fierce battle." I say to the Milan fans of the world, you will see a stronger Milan team. We won't let you down! ”

A journalist in Germany asked: "Do you agree with Don that Ronaldinho is a coward?" ”

Maldini frowned and said, "Don didn't say which one was a coward, he was just expressing his opinion. I agree with him that whether a player can perform normally under strong pressure is the criterion of whether he is strong! ”

……

After Milan arrived in Barcelona, in addition to training, Ancelotti specially asked Maldini to lead the whole team to enjoy the scenery of Barcelona.

For Tang Jue, who came to Barcelona for the first time, everything was a surprise. Like a curious baby, he kept asking questions to his guide. This made Xiao Feifei in his mind depressed, omniscient supercomputer, and knew these things very clearly.

On the night of Milan's arrival in Barcelona, the phone kept ringing in the Milan player's room. When they picked up the phone, a sweet, greasy voice came from the phone. This sound makes people's hearts beat faster and their whole body goes limp.

Thinking that the big game was about to start, the Milan player put away his mind and forced himself to put down the phone. But those calls didn't stop there, and they persistently called. Maldini realized that something was wrong, and he immediately went to Ancelotti's room to report the incident to him.

The phone in Ancelotti's room did not ring, and after some consideration, Ancelotti asked Maldini to go to each room at once and tell the players to unplug the phone line. In order to cut off the harassment of those beauties.

Carlo Ancelotti doesn't believe that Barcelona is behind it, so who is it that wants to use this way to disintegrate Milan's fighting power?

The problem was complained to the hotel, and the hotel double-checked and found that the calls were not made through the hotel's phone. A fog hung over Ancelotti's mind. (To be continued......)
