374th Sprint to the Championship (1)
At the same time, the Pizjuan Stadium in Seville, the fourth largest city in Spain with a population of 1.3 million, is the capital of the Spanish Autonomous Community of Andalusia and the province of Seville.
Barcelona will face Sevilla away from home in La Liga's famous 'home of the devil', and Sevilla are much stronger than Real Madrid's opponents in this round, Athletic Bilbao. However, both Pep Guardiola and the Barcelona players said before the game that they were confident of beating Sevilla at the 'Devil's Stadium'.
"We have to win this game." Pep Guardiola looked at his disciples and said, "We're going to win!" ”
Guardiola's simple words made Barcelona players surge with endless fighting spirit, Guardiola has conquered the players with last season's 'treble' in Barcelona, in addition, as Barcelona's own legendary star, Guardiola has the greatest prestige in Barcelona's dressing room, and Barcelona's football culture is in the same vein, which is why Barcelona is so good, they rarely fire coaches in a season or two, and the team is very stable.
It can be said that the pressure on Pep Guardiola and Barcelona is very high at the moment, and in the eyes of Catalans, it is unthinkable that Barcelona will not win any of the championships this season after last season's Champions League, domestic cup and domestic league treble. Barcelona are facing a very unfavorable situation for them, in order to win the title, first of all, they must win, it doesn't matter how much they win, the key is to get three points. Then they will have to count on Real Madrid to capsize at home. Lost to Athletic Bilbao, like that. With one round of league games remaining, Barcelona are still two points behind Real Madrid. Then, in the final round of the league, Barcelona will continue to count on Malaga to win at home to Real Madrid, while Barcelona will have to win at home to Valladolid to win the title from behind.
In fact, in a word, Real Madrid lost all these two rounds of games, and Barcelona won all of them, so that Barcelona could reverse and win the championship.
It's a tough task!
In the words of the newspaper As, which ridiculed Barcelona. 'Barcelona wins?' It's even harder than a rooster laying eggs! ’
Guardiola's tone of affirming victory is actually trying to give his disciples a boost of confidence. Let them stop thinking nonsense! Now Barcelona is really fighting against the water, and it is a matter of success or failure. Of course, if they win and Real Madrid win, or even don't have to win, Real Madrid only need to draw with Athletic Bilbao, because Real Madrid beat Barcelona twice this season, and they have the advantage of each other. Then the trophy is still Real Madrid's.
Regardless, Barcelona will have to go all out for this game, regardless of the outcome. At least Barcelona did their best, and they lost without regrets.
Amid the huge cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium, Jonker and his teammates stepped out of the players' corridor. It's in.
At the exit of the players' corridor, there is a trophy. This is the 2009/2010 La Liga trophy, as Real Madrid just need not to lose today. The championship will be won one round earlier, so the Spanish Football Federation has also brought the league championship trophy to the Bernabeu Stadium, and at this moment, the trophy is quietly there, waiting for those who are qualified to lift them!
Real Madrid and Barcelona are competing for the championship at a critical moment, in addition, there is still an undecided result of entering the European competition, and some teams are still fighting for relegation, so in order to prevent match-fixing and water release, the last two rounds of La Liga are scheduled to kick off at the same time on the same day.
On May 8, 2010, at 21:28 p.m., the referees of all 10 arenas were on the same page.
At 21:30 p.m., the night sky over 10 stadiums in the Iberian Peninsula was filled with the whistle of the kick-off and the loud cheers of the fans.
The 37th round of the 2009/2010 Spanish Serie A season has begun, will it be the 90 minutes to decide the winner of this long season?
Barcelona started extremely dreamily at the Pizjuan Stadium, known as the 'Devil's Stadium' in La Liga.
The game had just begun, and in the sixth minute, the visitors in the stands at the Estadio Pizjuán were cheering with thunder, and Barcelona took the lead from the start.
Messi was frantically celebrating the goal, he opened the scoring for Barcelona, it was a subtle combination of Barcelona, Xavi's pass passed through the combination of Navas and Renato's defensive zone, Bojan cut in at high speed on the wing, low flat cross, Messi did not stop the ball but took advantage of the situation and Iniesta made a wall-hitting combination, single-handedly into the penalty area, pushed the far corner to score.
Pep Guardiola clenched his fists and celebrated his team's dream start, he never worried about this Barcelona game, Guardiola believes that his disciples can be trusted at the crucial moment, but Guardiola's celebration is nothing more, today's game, he 'double-minded', more focused on Madrid, watching the situation at the Bernabeu Stadium.
FC Barcelona specially sent people to the Bernabeu Stadium to pay attention to the game over there, just 6 minutes into the game, Barcelona led Sevilla at the Pizjuan Stadium, and there was no news from the Bernabeu, that is, there was no goal yet, and the score was still 0:0!
Of course, 0:0 is not what Barcelona expect, what they need is Athletic Bilbao to be able to take out Real Madrid away from home, and expect the Basque brothers to give a boost in key moments...... Anyway, it's 0:0 now, and that's a good sign, isn't it? As long as Real Madrid doesn't score, Athletic Bilbao has the potential to make a fatal blow.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, there was a sigh of regret and then a round of applause.
Just now Alonso passed the ball, and Jonk split the ball with his back, humiliating Xavi. After Martinez, he cut horizontally along the penalty line, pretended to shoot, attracted Ilora to steal, and suddenly picked the ball overhead, the ball flew over Ilora's head, and Benzema also immediately killed, facing the falling ball, diving and bombing. The ball slid past the goal and hit the side-netting. Athletic Bilbao escaped.
Jonk gave Benzema a thumbs up, meaning he plugged in just in time. Benzema was so annoyed at this time, he was still regretting that the goal was not scored, if this goal was scored, the pressure on Real Madrid would be reduced a lot. It's a rare start and it's a joy to score such a crucial goal.
Barcelona assistant coach Villanova came over and told Pep Guardiola that Real Madrid had just almost scored again, and in the ten minutes of the game, they had already had three extremely dangerous shots on goal. Athletic Bilbao looks overwhelmed.
Guardiola's face changed, he didn't say anything, he also knew that it was not realistic to expect Athletic Bilbao to stop Real Madrid, this is not to say that Athletic Bilbao will release Real Madrid, the Basque and Catalans have a good relationship, they will indeed treat the game fairly, but after all, Athletic Bilbao's strength is much worse than Real Madrid, and. In this game, the fighting spirit of Real Madrid, which was stimulated by the champion, was absolutely terrifying, and Athletic Bilbao was not a game like fighting for relegation after all.
When the game went on in the 21st minute. At the Estadio Pizjuan, the scoreboard is still Sevilla 0:1 Barcelona, after Messi's goal. The two teams were more robbed in the midfield, and the pitch was overturned for a while. Maradona, the head coach of the Argentine national team who came to the Pizjuan Stadium to watch the game in the stands, was nervous, and the World Cup was imminent. If Messi is injured, this is definitely something that Argentina cannot afford.
In the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Queiroz, was also nervous. Martinez shoveled to the ground and rolled on the ground with his legs crossed.
Queiroz scolded the Portuguese national scolding, if Jonk is injured, the prospects of the Portuguese team in the World Cup in South Africa are almost dark, in the eyes of Queiloz, Portugal without Jonk, the strength will drop at least one notch.
Real Madrid players are surrounding the referee complaining about Xavi. Martinez's rough foul, Benzema has to beat Xavi. Martinez, hugged by Kaka.
In Real Madrid's away match against Athletic Bilbao, Xavi. Martinez had a holiday with Jonker, and no one could guarantee that he had deliberately tackled Jonk just now.
The Bernabeu booed the sky, and the referee Munis. Fernandez also feels that Xavi. Martinez's action just now was too much, and he asked Harvey. Martinez showed a yellow card.
Fortunately, Jonk returned to the pitch amid applause at the Bernabeu after receiving simple treatment, and it should not be a big problem to see Jonker's running posture, and Queiroz in the stands was a little relieved.
The referee awarded Real Madrid a free kick, which was in a good position, and it stands to reason that Real Madrid's free kicks were taken by Jonker, but Jonk felt that he had just been taken by Xavi. Martinez still felt a faint pain when he shoveled, frowned, and shouted to Kaka, "Kaka, you can take the penalty for this ball." ”
Kaka was stunned for a moment, then guessed whether Jonk was injured by the shovel, and asked Jonk with concern, and Jonk said it was okay, and it would be fine in a while.
Kaka stood at the penalty spot, ready to take the free-kick.
Queiroz in the stands also frowned when he saw that Jonk gave up the penalty and let Kaka take the free kick, and he was a little relieved just now, but now he is worried again. Queiroz made up his mind, after the game, he arranged for the Portuguese team doctor to give Jonk a comprehensive physical examination, and if Real Madrid won the championship in advance, he would ask Real Madrid club not to let Jonk play in the last round of the league, let Jonk rest.
However, thinking that Jonk still has the opportunity to refresh his own La Liga scoring record, Quiroz feels it is necessary to communicate with Jonk in advance, this is Quiroz, he is a manager who does not let go of any details, especially at critical moments, some details, will still take care of the players' ideas, of course, if someone intends to disobey and go against Quiroz, it is another matter.
Pizjuan Stadium.
Just now Sevilla attacked, Canoute's shot hit the post, startling Guardiola on the sidelines in a cold sweat, and at this time, Barcelona assistant coach Vilanova came over and whispered in Guardiola's ear that news came from the Bernabeu stadium that Real Madrid took the lead and scored Kaka.
It was Kaka who heard the goal, and Guardiola thought that it should be Kaka's long-range shot after a fast break, but when he heard assistant coach Vilanova say that it was a free kick, he subconsciously asked, "Why didn't Jonk take this free kick?" ”
Villanova said that Jonker gave up the free-kick to Kaka, but the news came that Jonk had been injured and treated on the sidelines, and although he returned to the court, it seemed that it still had an impact on the game.
Hearing Vilanova say this, Guardiola nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
At this time, there was a lamentation from the stands of the visiting team at the Pizjuán Stadium, and it was the Barcelona fans who were also following the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao that they also learned that Real Madrid had scored a goal to take the lead.
The Barcelona players on the pitch apparently heard the lamentations from the visiting fans, and they also speculated whether it was Real Madrid who scored, and some players looked to the sidelines, and they saw that Guardiola made all normal gestures, and only then did they relax slightly.
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Kaka's signature celebratory move, with a flashing spotlight, recorded the important goal.
Jonk rushed up and grabbed Kaka, and then more people rushed up, and the tide surrounded them.
This goal was too crucial, after breaking the deadlock 1-0, the pressure on Real Madrid's players was suddenly reduced a lot, they only needed a draw to win the championship, but everyone knew that the mind of the draw was absolutely unavoidable, it was extremely dangerous, and only with the mentality of winning to play was the most correct.
Now it's 1:0, anyway, so that the Real Madrid players have a bottom in their hearts.
Pizjuan Stadium.
Bojan excitedly stripped to celebrate and was shown a yellow card by referee Adriano.
Just now Messi sent a beautiful through ball, Bojan scored with a low shot, expanding the score to 2:0, Barcelona led Sevilla 2:0 away, which surprised everyone who thought that this game would be a dragon battle, you know, Barcelona is now second in the league, and Sevilla is fourth in the league, and the Pizjuán Stadium is the famous La Liga 'devil's stadium', Barcelona does not seem to have been tested too much.
