The match between Liverpool and Barcelona has touched the hearts of thousands of people, the game has not yet started, celebrities from all walks of life in Barcelona have long been sitting in the VIP box, Yang Xiong, Chinese Consul General in Barcelona, Barcelona Mayor Eliou, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, Paz Vega, Barcelona President La Burta, Vice President Rosell, but the two presidents who were exposed to contradictions were not in a VIP box, Russell was alone in a box, and Laburta and Liverpool's new chairman Gillette sat together.

Gillette did not participate in Liverpool's record of winning streak in the Premier League, although the game was significant, but the opponent was very weak, although Liverpool fans had some complaints, but there was not much reaction, but if the two American presidents did not come to this big battle with Barcelona, I am afraid that Liverpool fans will doubt the purpose of the two Americans to buy Liverpool.

It was the first time for Gillette to sit in the VIP box as the chairman of a giant club, and he was a little nervous, although Barcelona was not hot at the moment, but he would unbutton his shirt, take off his jacket, and go out for a walk again, compared to La Burta, who was sitting there next to him, he was like a little fan watching the home team for the first time.

In distant China, Zhang Shubin, Zhang Youzhen and Zhao Muyu have long turned on the TV and waited for the start of this game, they have not yet returned to the UK, for the Chinese, before the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, it is easy to return to China, and it is difficult for them to get out if they want to go.

At this moment, Chinese football reporters and commentators certainly don't have time for the Chinese New Year, they came to Barcelona, Spain a few days ago, including Gao Fei's girlfriend Jia Ya, who just took a shot of Chen Yu's warm-up, and passed it to Gao Fei through the guò network, and Gao Fei passed it on the Chinese football forum.

After the famous commentator Huang Jian wanted to leave CCTV, another commentator, He Huihe, gradually ascended to the position, and today he was the highlight of the on-site commentary that countless fans were looking forward to.

“…… Dear fans and friends in front of the TV, now that the players have come out of the dressing room, now we take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides: Barcelona line-up: 1-Valdés; 2-Belletti, 4-Marcos, 5-Puyol, 11-Zambrotta; 3-Motta, 6-Xavi, 20-Deco; 19 - Messi, 22 - Saviola, 10 - Ronaldinho

Liverpool line-up: 25-Reina; 2-Arbeloa, 23-Carragher, 5-Ager, 6-Reese; 22-Sissoko, 14-Alonso, 17-Bellamy; 8-Gerrard; 9-Chen Yu, 15-Crouch.

Barcelona is still in the 433 formation, but Eto'o did not appear in the starting lineup, nor did he appear in the substitute lineup, it seems that the bombardment incident has a great impact on Barcelona, the strength of the African cheetah cannot be underestimated, he can be ranked in the top five among the forwards in world football today, Liverpool's defenders are strong and tall, but the speed is slow, without Eto'o, Liverpool will definitely have less worries in attack.

Liverpool's brawl obviously did not have much impact on the team, Reiser and Bellamy surprisingly all started, but what was even more surprising was that Arbeloa, who transferred from the winter break, actually appeared in the starting lineup, before the game Arbeloa said that he could prevent Ronaldo, which made the Barcelona people feel very disdainful, Ronaldo mocked Arbeloa and said that he should strive to start first, in fact, Liverpool's right-back Finnan is outstanding, if Finnan is not injured, It was difficult for Arbeloa, who had not yet settled into the squad, to get a chance to play, but today, Benitez surprised to start Arbeloa and put Finnan on the bench, which was a risky move......

Barcelona coach Rijkaard also felt unusually confused, Bellamy and Reese were able to play beyond his expectations, both of them are Liverpool's indispensable players to play Barcelona, Bellamy's speed is unmatched in Liverpool except for Chen Yu, Reese is physically strong, full of physical energy, and has a long-range shot, if the two of them can't play, it will have a great impact on Liverpool, but why did Abelloa start? Rijkaard couldn't figure out what Abelloa was better than Finnan, could it be that he said before the game that he could prevent Ronaldo from fooling Benitez? Rijkaard thinks that this is very unlikely, and the most likely is that Benitez thinks that Arbeloa is more familiar with Ronaldo, and bets that Abelloa can still defend against Ronaldo as he did in Deportivo La Coruna.

However, Rijkaard is not worried, in his mind, Ronaldo is the number one in the world, and he may play a little worse in some unimportant games, but in such a world-renowned Champions League knockout round, Rijkaard does not think that any defender can defend Ronaldo on his own.

Rijkaard's concern is Chen Yu and Gerrard, two talents who are Liverpool's most terrifying cunning.

Gerrard is a tough and energetic player who can be a mainstay in defence and can often break the deadlock in attack.

Not to mention Chen Yu, in three games with Barcelona, Chen Yu scored 6 goals, and also snatched a priceless Champions League trophy from Barcelona, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Yu is Barcelona's mortal enemy.

Rijkaard also wanted to dig Chen Yu into his hands, but Chen Yu was seriously injured in the final, and Barca could only give up, but this is not bad, anyway, this Chinese will no longer be a trouble for Barca, but the road is narrow, and I did not expect that now the Chinese will once again become an obstacle on the way forward for Barca.

Not to mention the resentment in Rijkaard's heart, after Liverpool's captain Gerrard and Barcelona captain Puyol exchanged team flags and emblems for a group photo, with the whistle of German referee Fadel, the Champions League quarterfinals have officially kicked off.

Liverpool, who wore a white away kit, have won a record 15 consecutive league games, but in the Champions League knockout rounds, they did not show their devastated momentum in the league, but narrowed the distance between the three lines, scrambled in midfield, and threatened the Barcelona goal with long balls.

This trick is very familiar to Barcelona, in the group stage, Mourinho's Chelsea used this tactic to defeat Barcelona, very good at learning, and Benitez, who defeated Barcelona with defense in Valencia, will certainly not learn from it.

However, Rijkaard and his players are not afraid, the opponent beat them with this trick, of course they will not study the countermeasures, Barcelona's countermeasure is to put two midfielders in front of the central defenders, strengthen the protection of the back line, and at the same time strengthen the control of the ball in the midfield, minimize mistakes, so that the opponent touches the ball as little as possible, no matter how good the opponent's counterattack is, not every opportunity can score, the less time the opponent has to possess the ball, the fewer opportunities they get, the fewer opportunities they have to counterattack, this is the essence of Barcelona footballNo matter what coach is in charge of Barcelona, possession is a constant theme.

Although Liverpool has not played against Barcelona for a long time, there are many players in their team who are familiar with Barcelona, Reina, Garcia, Arbeloa, Chen Yu, and coach Benitez, so Liverpool's familiarity with Barcelona is definitely the deepest in the Premier League except for Chelsea.

From the start of the game, Liverpool's players cherished every chance of possession at their feet and knew that the ball would never be at their feet for long. If they don't make the most of every chance of possession, they have no hope of taking a point and an away goal at Camp Nou.

The ball passed from Crouch's feet to Chen Yu's feet, from Chen Yu's feet to Gerrard's feet, and then back to the feet of defender Carragher, at this time Barcelona's players have pressed three-quarters to Liverpool's half, Barcelona strikers Saviola and Messi have gone deep into Liverpool's penalty area to press.

Saviola and Messi are both Argentine stars and Ballon d'Or winners of the World Youth Championship, their characteristics are also very similar, fast, fast at the feet, excellent skills, the two pressed over, Liverpool's players did not dare to be careless, Carragher crossed to Arbeloa, Ronaldinho in this position pressed a little slower, and Ronaldinho also does not like to defend, so it is much safer here.

Arbeloa bragged before the game, the coach gave him the opportunity to prove himself, and now his teammates gave him the ball again, Arbelloa didn't want to kick the ball out, he saw Ronaldinho running forward slowly, making a pressing look, Arbelloa boldly pushed the ball behind Ronaldinho, and passed Ronaldinho lightly.

Arbeloa's move was flattering, and the Liverpool fans cheered, but Benitez frowned and looked disgruntled. Because there is no point in passing the opponent's striker in his own backfield, he can't form an attack, he can't create a situation where he plays more with less, if the ball is cut off by the opponent's striker, it will immediately form a counterattack, especially for a superstar like Ronaldinho, if the ball is cut off by him, it will be simply fatal.

Rijkaard is also a smart coach, he saw Arbeloa smile past Ronaldo, and felt that if Arbeloa continued to play like this, the Barcelona players would definitely teach him a profound lesson, and no team did better than Barcelona in high pressing.

The fans obviously didn't think so much, and in their opinion, it was Arbeloa who beat Ronaldo, the Liverpool fans cheered, and the Barcelona fans expressed their disgust with Arbeloa with earth-shattering boos.
