Chapter 688: Armageddon (End)

There is a saying among the Chinese that calamity is not a one-way street.

The same goes for football stadiums.

In a close entanglement in the midfield, when facing Xavi's defense, Makelele was angry because the ball was cut off by Xavi, and he chased after him and pushed Xavi down from behind.

The audience was in an uproar, and Makelle stood there stunned.

He heard the referee blow the whistle, and at this time, he suddenly realized that he had a yellow card on him! And with this action just now, he could hardly escape the suspicion of winning the card.

Sure enough, the referee showed him a yellow card again, two yellows turned into one red, and Liverpool midfielder Claude Makelele was sent off!

Makelele didn't tell, and no one in Liverpool knew it, because getting a yellow card for such an action was already very light strictly speaking, and it was completely self-inflicted.

Benitez sat in the dugout, and when he saw Claude Makelele sent off the pitch with a red card, the whole person looked up at the sky, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his mind at the moment.

All they saw was that Liverpool's assistant coach quickly walked to the sidelines and called out to midfielder Sissoko to prepare for the replacement of Kuyt with the Mali midfielder.

It was clear that this move made it easy for everyone to feel that Liverpool had completely abandoned this game.

In fact, Benitez has no choice, the Liverpool players on the field are disheartened, the score is behind, and there is one less player, which is simply a death sentence for Liverpool!

Jowanxian also made a substitution, with Uruguayan teenager Suarez replacing Ibrahimovic. Luka Modric replaced Xavi, who had an excellent performance in the game, and Andres Iniesta also replaced Messi, who scored a hat-trick.

Obviously it's giving the young players a chance to get a feel for the big picture.

Qiao Wanxian's approach was also cheered by the Barcelona fans in the stands. It's definitely the attitude of the masters, it's about preparing for the future of Barcelona.

After Suarez came on the pitch, Qiao Wanxian made some adjustments to the team's tactics, Ronaldo and Suarez were pushed to the middle to play as a double striker, and Iniesta played in the forward position, and the team changed to a 4-1-2-1-2 formation.

Not long after Suarez came on the pitch, Barcelona was on a Liverpool attack just after half-time. Ballack suddenly broke the ball, Modric crossed diagonally to the left, and Suarez rushed forward quickly. Racing with Finnan on the left flank, he managed to shake off Finnan.

Suarez had the option of slowing down and going it alone, but he noticed that Finnan was behind him in the box with Carragher in place. And in the distance is Hyypia, who has returned with Iniesta. And Harvey. Alonso also returned to the edge of the box, but Cristiano Ronaldo on the right was unguarded.

In this case, after Suarez went down to the bottom line, he passed a low flat ball, which directly crossed most of the penalty area and fell to the right corner of the small penalty area. A left-footed shot went straight up and fired a low shot that once again found the Liverpool goal. 7:1!

Cristiano with a brace. Ronaldo rushed to Suarez excitedly, but was stopped by Iniesta halfway, and the players immediately hugged each other and played Arhat.

'Barcelona were very dangerous in attack and Liverpool were breached again. 7:1, that's an incredibly shocking scoreline! Merely...... It seems that Barcelona have no intention of stopping there, and they are still attacking Liverpool's goal again and again. ”

The absence of one man on the football pitch has made it even more difficult for Liverpool, who were already stretched thin defensively.

It's a matter of space on the football field.

In football, all offensive tactics are actually about creating space for a player to be left undefended in a certain area for a short period of time, even if it is only a second, which is enough to create a threat.

When Liverpool is alone, that means that no matter how hard Liverpool players work and how they arrange their formations, they will always have one less person than their opponents, and Barcelona can easily control the game as long as they take advantage of this extra player.

Soon, Barcelona created another very dangerous attacking opportunity, Cristiano Ronaldo combined with Lahm on the right flank, and the German right-back quickly inserted in and crossed forward from the bottom line.

In the middle of the penalty area, German captain Ballack rushed forward quickly, blocked Hyypia with his body, grabbed the front point, and swept the ball into Reina's goal, 8:1!

"God, this ...... It's nothing short of a thrilling score! ”

"I can't believe that such a big score can be played in the final of the Champions League; We can't believe that Liverpool can be so poor in this game! They have completely collapsed, and we can even feel Benitez's collapse on the sidelines. ”

With the live camera, everyone could see that Benitez was already shouting loudly at the players on the pitch out of control on the sidelines, obviously very dissatisfied with their appearance.

8:1!

Another big final that can go down in history!

"Perhaps, we can't say that Liverpool's players are too bad, but we should say that the Barcelona players are too strong and in great form. From the very beginning of this game, they pressed Liverpool and threatened Liverpool's goal again and again. ”

"We got the number of matches so far, Liverpool had six shots in the game, but Barcelona had thirty-four shots! With twenty minutes to go, we can even doubt that Barcelona still have a chance to keep scoring! ”

However, after Barcelona's heavy rotation, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, he also achieved satisfactory results, and the players' desire to attack on the pitch has decreased, and they have begun to control the ball more in the midfield, enjoying the cheers and cheers of the fans in the stands.

Champions League winners!

There is no doubt that although the game is not over yet. But the winner of the UEFA Champions League in 06-07 has been decided, and that is the giant team Barcelona from Spain!

"Toot! Honk! Honk! ”

With the referee's whistle, the Stadio Olimpico descended into complete madness. Everyone on the Barcelona bench rushed into the pitch excitedly at this moment, like crazy.

And Cruyff on the commentary seat was also excited, and said excitedly: "Champion, we are champions!" It's great, it's amazing, after fifteen years, we're European champions again! We have to thank Joe Cannon. It was he who saved a team that had almost hit rock bottom, it was he who brought new energy and life to the team, this championship. Belong to Joe Cannon! ”

On the field, all the Barcelona personnel were very excited, and Qiao Wanxian was also pushed to the center of the stadium by everyone to accept the congratulations and applause of all the fans on the scene.

He's worthy of this honor!

Three years leading two different teams. Won three Champions League trophies in a row. Who has been able to do it throughout the ages? Former Liverpool coach Pais took advantage of his life to lift the Champions League trophy three times, but what about Qiao Wanxian?

Three years, only three years!

That's right, looking at the whole world football, the team that can challenge Qiao Wanxian no longer exists, or rather...... The only one who can really challenge him is himself.

This qiΔ“. As he said after the game.

"It's over, it's over. It was my last game in charge of Barcelona and at the same time, it was also the happiest and most satisfying game for me in charge of this team, the score of 8:1, maybe it was unfair for Liverpool, but for Barcelona I think the score is fair and the lads deserve it! ”

Captain Puyol, who attended the press conference with Qiao Wanxian, looked at Qiao Wanxian with tears in his eyes and looked at Qiao Wanxian in a daze.

This is not only the emotion and emotion of the Champions League champion, but also the reluctance and helplessness of Qiao Wanxian who is about to leave the team. Although they have only been together for a short season, Puyol seems to have known Qiao Wanxian for decades, and he feels the passion and love for football from him.

Now, Qiao Wanxian is about to leave the team, how can he not be sentimental?

"Mr. Manager, your results at Barcelona have been quite outstanding, and you have won an unprecedented treble in your first season, what is it that drives you to make the decision to leave?"

Facing the reporter's question, Qiao Wan sighed and said, "It's very simple, it's a challenge. ”

After a pause, Qiao Wanxian said unhurriedly: "At Chelsea, I got the glory that I could get, and I didn't have any challenges there, so I came to Barcelona." For one season here, I found it even easier to coach here than Chelsea, a big club with a 100-year history, the club has rules, the dressing room has team traditions, everything is done in order, I just need to lead the team and win, it's as simple as that. ”

"I'm very young, I'm only twenty-five years old, I don't want to live like this, I need a new environment, new challenges, new pursuits! As you may be aware, I've taken over Manchester City, and it's a very challenging club because it's in the same city as the big Manchester United. ”

"But I'm not afraid! The more pressure there is, the more motivation there is, and I hope that my new job will bring me new passion and that I will lead Manchester City to success in a new role. I believe that under my leadership, Manchester City will be able to rise like Chelsea three years ago! ”

Immediately, another reporter asked: "May I ask Mr. Qiao Wanxian, what kind of role will you play after you go to Manchester City Club?" ”

Qiao Wanxian smiled slightly and stretched out four fingers: "I will take on a total of four roles." ”

The reporters in the audience pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Qiao Wan said leisurely: "There is no doubt that the first one is the president of the club. ”

"Second, the general manager of the club."

"Thirdly, the head coach of the team."

"Fourth...... Hehe. ”

Qiao Wanxian sold a pass, and the reporters below were a little anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Wanxian, what is this fourth character?" ”

Qiao Wanxian turned his head to look at Puyol, and found that he was also at a loss, Qiao Wanxian stretched his waist and said casually: "The fourth role, I will be a player on the field." ”

"What ??!!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Even all the BarΓ§a personnel, including Puyol, had an incredible look on their faces.

Joe Cannon, are you crazy?

You've been kicked all your life, and now you're twenty-five years old, and you want to play in the top league? You buy a club just to toss around for yourself, right?

In the hall of the press conference, there was a sudden chaos.

Qiao Wanxian looked relaxed, got up slowly, and slowly left the press conference under the surprised, frightened, and even frightened eyes of everyone......

A bold idea almost popped up in everyone's minds.

It's over, Joe's cannon is going to fool around again, and the world football world is probably going to set off a bloody storm again......
