Chapter 137 Messi, who retreated early, and Barcelona, who learned smartly

More than 40,000 Ajax fans at the Amsterdam Arena let out a familiar lament from the stands.

It's been two years, and I've been pressed to the ground by Real Madrid four times, and the score difference is not less than three goals anyway!

I thought that this year's luck would be slightly better, but now it seems that the result is still the same, and this can only give away points when it meets Real Madrid.

They have also finished third in the Champions League group at least twice in the past two seasons.

But at the beginning of this season, it is likely to have to kneel twice, and this year I am afraid that I will not even be able to get the third place in the Champions League.

Many Ajax fans are not optimistic about their journey in Europe this year.

It's no wonder they're so pessimistic.

Real Madrid doesn't look very difficult to beat Manchester City, that doesn't mean they can win against Manchester City.

The Blues are the new champions of the Premier League who forcibly snatched the league title from Manchester United last season.

The size of the team and the roster of players still look much better than theirs.

This unfortunate grouping situation makes the current Ajax fans feel more and more bad the more they think about it.

From the beautiful vision of losing to Real Madrid, drawing Borussia Dortmund, and narrowly beating Manchester City to the despair of losing two in a row.

In just half a month, the mental journey of Ajax fans has experienced exciting ups and downs like a train.

If Li Ang wants to know the goal of Ajax's Champions League group stage in the new season promoted by the Dutch media, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold back.

He had to ask after the game if the Dutch media had copied the slogans of his own unreliable media more than a decade ago.

This slogan is somewhat metaphysical, but it is easy to shout.

If the Dutch media had kept a low profile before the game and had not given the whole Ajax team so much inexplicable confidence out of thin air, they might have really won points at Westfax Stadium in the first round.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to do it all over again, and Ajax can only charge at Real Madrid's defence now.

And seeing that Ajax was so heroic, he once again chose to charge head-on when he was behind.

Real Madrid's players can only fight back with all their might to show their respect.

Among them, it is still Ronaldo's tribute that is the most sincere.

He scored twice in the first half and almost set up Di Maria's goal.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his third goal of the game at the Amsterdam Arena, becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League this season!

De Boer's heart is bitter.

At the beginning of this season, two defensive generals were gone, and the defense line was about to be re-run-in, but today it met the explosive Ronaldo, which was a dead end.

You can only rely on one Alderweireld to defend Benzema, and there are also the sharp impacts of Ronaldo and Di Maria on the left and right, and he can't help it.

Fortunately, Real Madrid did not mean to kill them all when they took the opportunity.

After watching Di Maria and Benzema have a few more happy kicks in succession, Mu Shuai chose to withdraw his troops early.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria and Marcos Alonso were all substituted early.

He's going to prepare for the Spanish national derby in a few days!

The final score of the game was fixed at 3-0.

The familiar three-goal gap made Ajax fans shake their heads again and again.

On the other hand, Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund has made Ajax's current situation even worse.

No matter how you play, this Manchester City looks like Dortmund is on the same level.

Now there are three big brothers in a group, and they are the younger brothers of Ajax, and in the next round they will face Manchester City, which has not yet won its first victory, can they have good fruit to eat?

The Ajax players now have a numb scalp at the thought of their team's situation, and they no longer have the inexplicable confidence they had before.

Leon also approached Eriksen after the game to comfort and encourage him.

He didn't say anything to let the other party play well, and then transferred to join the giants.

Although Eriksen is only 20 years old, he is already cashing in on his super talent, and there is no shortage of attention from the big clubs and the big four leagues.

So Leon gave the other party an encouragement that would stimulate his fighting spirit even more.

"I hope to play with you on a bigger stage, like the Champions League knockout round, what do you think?"

After smiling and changing jerseys with Eriksen, Leon and his teammates went to pay tribute to their Expedition fans.

Erikson stood still and looked at Leon's back, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, Christian, it's time for us to go."

Alderweireld came over and greeted Eriksen with some emotion, waiting for him to go back to the dressing room.

Eriksen, on the other hand, replied to him with some meaning.

"Okay. It's time for us to go."

※※※

Before and after Real Madrid's victory over Ajax, the rest of the Champions League group stage has also come to an end.

At this point, the group stage of the second round of the Champions League is over.

There are strong dialogues, big slaughters, and no shortage of upsets where the weak defeat the strong.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, who lost to Porto, were the main targets of ridicule by fans after this round of group stage.

Real Madrid and Barcelona once again defended the prestige of the "Western Super League" under the momentum of consecutive wins.

From the current point of view, it is really the most stable and qualified to say in advance that they can get the right to qualify for the top spot in their respective groups.

Manchester United, who also won two consecutive group stage games in Group H, was a bit too tough to win.

Galatasaray won by a small goal, and Cluj, who played in the Romanian league, also won by a small goal, or a reversal victory.

Compared with the clean sheets of the two teams of Real Sa, it can only be said that on the field, Manchester United is at least one notch behind these two teams.

And just when the whole of Europe once again touted the hard power of the two teams, the tension of the approaching big game had already enveloped the entire Barcelona in advance.

On October 7, Barcelona will meet Real Madrid for the third time this season.

Of course, with the exception of the "unimportant" Spanish Super Cup, this is the first time the two teams have met in the new season.

Barcelona's players and coaching staff are very serious about this Spanish national derby.

Barcelona fans have even restrained the momentum of the 300 rounds of battles with Real Madrid fans on the Internet before the previous game, which seems to be a lot more low-key.

But now they can't keep a low profile, and they really can't get the results of direct confrontation in the past season.

The best result is a draw with Real Madrid, and the reality of not winning Real Madrid for more than a year naturally can't give Barcelona fans more confidence.

Barcelona didn't start this season very well, but they had an excellent record, and the "landing" in their mentality actually helped them a lot.

Perhaps it was Real Madrid's success last season that rekindled the hunger for glory among the arrogant Barcelona players.

The tenacity of the game is back, Habaib can still control the field stably, and with Messi in the front, Barcelona's recent performance is still very commendable.

If nothing else, sticking to the game has allowed Barcelona to score at least six more points in the league.

The two successive defeats were a huge morale boost for the entire Barcelona team and all the Barcelona fans.

However, it is precisely because of their current momentum that Real Madrid players have increased their vigilance and attention to the game early in their preparations.

Neither side of the team had players in pre-match interviews to give their thoughts on the derby.

Their unanimous behaviour made this crucial match the most "quiet" pre-tournament national derby in nearly three seasons.

However, the smell of gunpowder is not weak at all, because they themselves do not speak out, and there will always be media who will become their "mouthpiece" and forcibly help them speak out against each other.

On the evening of October 7, the whole Real Madrid team departed from the hotel by bus to the Camp Nou.

Along the way, I saw the familiar sarcastic and invective figures, provocative signs on the roadside, and a large number of Barcelona fans singing and taunting the pressure on Real Madrid.

A familiar feeling came to the hearts of the Real Madrid generals.

That's right, that's the atmosphere and "interactive greetings" that should precede the national derby!

The previous too quiet behavior of Barcelona fans also made the Real Madrid players a little uncomfortable, and this time the familiar feeling is back!

Leon smiled, and even had the leisure to open the curtain and wave to the large number of Barcelona fans outside the car window.

This was a hornet's nest, and the Barcelona fans who came over on the road and erected international friendly exchange gestures to Leon's window instantly became the focus of the audience.

The reporters, who were worried that there was no news material to write about, hurriedly filmed this scene.

Ten minutes later, as Real Madrid officially arrived at Camp Nou, a photo taken on the road was posted on the Internet by major Western media newspapers.

In an instant, not only the fans of the two teams of Huangsa, but also the fans of many other teams who were watching and having fun discussed.

Public opinion has set off a new round of climax around the "interaction" between Leon and Barcelona fans!

Some people say that Leon should not provoke Barcelona fans, and some people say that Barcelona fans are too ungraceful, chasing and disturbing the emotional state of Real Madrid players along the way.

But no matter how noisy the fan groups on both sides are, there is one thing they recognize.

That is, Leon's mentality is good for Jinnima!

The photo of Leon smiling in response to an international friendly gesture also spread throughout the world football in a short period of time.

The initiator was in the Camp Nou dressing room, changing into warm-up gear.

If you want to say that you feel offended, then Leon will never be so calm.

He just thinks that the behavior of Barcelona fans is normal, and he also thinks that there is no need to care too much about it.

Not to mention anything else, when the Barcelona players came to Madrid in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, the "greetings" they received from Real Madrid fans on the way were actually very different.

It's not uncommon for people who play professional football, from the lower leagues to the top professional stage, to encounter similar situations.

If he cares about this, he won't choose a career path a long time ago, and his psychological quality is not up to par, so what kind of professional competition is he playing!

When he walked out of the players' tunnel with his teammates to warm up, Li Ang and his teammates naturally received another enthusiastic boos from the Barcelona fans.

Not to mention, instead of listening to the boos of the Real Madrid fans at their own home, the boos of the Barcelona fans sound more comfortable.

"Eh, Chris, you said that our results on the road are even better than at home, do our own fans also take part of the credit?"

Li Ang's brain was wide open, and he even tugged at Ronaldo's sleeve with great interest and asked.

This time, Ronaldo will not be rectified.

"Ahem should be a little more prepared by our coaching staff. Little lion, don't mention that to any reporter! ”

Ronaldo, who felt that his head was getting bigger, quickly stopped Leon's tendency to continue to discuss this sensitive topic.

Alonso on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and raised his hand to slap Leon on the shoulder.

Seeing this, Li Ang sped up and ran away, and did not harass Ronaldo to ask some strange questions.

After the warm-up, Li Ang honestly followed his teammates back to the players' tunnel, and did not do anything to wave and interact with the Barcelona fans at the scene.

The relaxed atmosphere quickly faded in the dressing rooms on both sides, and in this last bit of time, Mourinho and Pep Guardiola were both making tactical emphasis and morale mobilization.

And in the prime time of the night in all the countries of all sizes on the European continent, at midnight in central Asia, and in the early morning and late at night in East Asia.

Countless fans have been glued to their TV or computer screens to watch the national derby that will take place in La Liga this new season.

He Wei and Xu Yang are also partners again to explain this focus battle.

At the moment when the players on both sides followed the footsteps of the referee team on the court, the two also quickly introduced the starters of the two teams today.

"The visitors Real Madrid still used their 4231 starting line-up with the highest winning percentage against Barcelona today.

The starting goalkeeper was No. 1 Casillas.

At the back are Marcelo 12, Ramos 4, Pepe 3 and 17 Arbeloa.

In midfield, No. 14 Xavi Alonso and No. 10 Leon dragged behind, with No. 6 Essien playing as central midfielder, and No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo and No. 22 Di Maria flanked in midfield.

No. 9 Benzema bursts forward. ”

"Barcelona also still used the four-three-three starting formation they are most familiar with.

The starting goalkeeper was No. 1 Valdés.

In the backline, from left to right, there are No. 18 Alba, No. 25 Alexandre Song, No. 14 Mascherano and No. 2 Alves.

The starting three midfielders remained unchanged, with No. 16 Sergio Busquets lagging behind, and No. 8 Iniesta and No. 6 Xavi on either side of the midfield.

On the forward line, No. 4 Cesc Fabregas, No. 10 Messi, and No. 17 Pedro are lined up from left to right. ”

As soon as He Wei's words about the starters fell, Xu Yang followed up and talked about the injuries on both sides.

Pique's recent injury has deprived the Barcelona defence of their most reliable defensive point.

In desperation, Guardiola could only let Alexander Song start with Mascherano first.

In fact, there is still a central defender Baltra sitting on the Barcelona bench, but this youngster is still too young and has too little experience.

Pep Guardiola did not dare to take the risk of starting him in the big game against Real Madrid, only using him as an alternative in case of emergency.

On Real Madrid's side, Coentrão has not yet returned from injury, so Mourinho can only send Marcelo to start this game.

Defensively, Real Madrid's left side has a lot of hidden dangers, so Mourinho also let Leon play back to the left midfielder in this game.

Judging from the general tactical idea, Mourinho still wants Essien to disrupt the situation in the middle of the midfield, and if Messi continues to play as a pseudo-center forward, then Leon will continue to fight with him in attack and defense.

Responding to changes is the safest tactical layout.

But Pep Guardiola has also proved that he is not only good at tactical work, but also his tactical preparation and innovation can also surprise the world!

Just after the game started on time, in less than two minutes, almost all the commentators were exclaiming Messi's new position.

It's not a pseudo-center, it's not a nine-and-a-half!

On paper, Messi is between Cesc Fabregas and Pedro

But in the actual game, Messi almost withdrew to his own half to share the ball with Xavi!

At this moment, on the side of Iniestala, Cesc Fabregas stepped to the front to attract Real Madrid's defensive firepower.

Guardiola used this trick to directly make Leon almost no chance to play against Messi again.

After a few tactical beatings, Pep Guardiola has no head.

Barcelona has learned wisely and wants to use new tactics to fight Real Madrid again!

The best news today is that my head doesn't hurt anymore, thank goodness!

The sore throat does not affect the code word, and it is still there today!
