Section 689 Inns in Catalan

Chinese Standing by the window of the hotel, looking at the fans singing in harmony outside, Zhao Yaning couldn't help but turn his head, "You Catalans, is this how you welcome friends?" ”

The Liverpool team came to Barcelona a day early. And now, it was late, and outside the hotel where they were staying, a large number of fans had gathered. They were there frantically clamoring, singing, shouting, and with their interference, the Liverpool players couldn't even get a good rest.

Zhao Yaning doesn't remember seeing similar fans. The fans in Madrid are crazy, but they will only shout, march, demonstrate next to their stadiums. Liverpool fans are crazy, but they only fight on the streets. Even the Italians, sometimes there are some excesses, but they don't make such trouble. Tossing outside the hotel where the away team is staying, this kind of practice is quite a bit of a disturbance to the opponent's rest, such a thing is extremely rare, and it is also a little undignified.

Although such a thing is not illegal, and even because it is a fan behavior, it is difficult to say that it is even a violation of sportsmanship, but after all, such a thing is not a glorious thing. As a giant, before playing, he refused to even give the opponent a chance to rest, and his means were not clever. This approach is like turning all the opponents over before Huashan argues about the sword - yes, it is indeed a means to win, but it is too embarrassing.

Zhao Yaning was standing in the hotel now, looking at the crowd outside, and behind him were Garcia and Reina, two Catalans. Although their home is in the local area, since the players are traveling with the team, they naturally live in hotels, and they also have the same helpless look for their group of compatriots.

"Where the hell did you see that we were their friends?" Garcia walked to the edge of the windowsill, looking at the commotion outside the window, he was still a little hard-mouthed, after all, these people were his compatriots, and it was impossible for him not to defend his compatriots, "We are here to play games, we are their enemies, okay?" ”

"But wherever we go to play, we don't have to encounter anything like this. Even the madmen in Italy burned their own cars, but they didn't besiege our buses. Zhao Yaning asked rhetorically, "Football matches are not wars, you Catalans, as for a football game, are you so nonsense?" ”

"We take football very seriously." Garcia replied, such an argument was a little weak, but, in order not to leave a bad impression on Zhao Yaning, he still spoke, "The people of Jiatai are very friendly, if you are not here to play football, but to travel, walking on the streets of Barcelona, you can easily get help." However, we do value our ethnicity, and if you ask for directions in Spanish, they will point you in directions, but in Catalan, they will take you there – and of course because we are a tourist city. We love our nation, and our nation needs something to maintain our self-esteem. Football, especially FC Barcelona's, is one of the few things that makes us feel proud. If someone wants to come and beat our team, they will naturally be treated unfairly. ”

"To be honest, I still can't understand you who rely on football to build national pride. At the end of the day, it's a ball. And even in football, you can't seem to compare to the Castilians, right? Zhao Yaning complained and looked outside, "Moreover, I think you have some other things to be proud of, your economy, your city, and, what I know most about Catalans, that is, a Samaranch, the ...... of the International Olympic Committee."

"He has nothing to do with Barcelona, he's a double member of Real Madrid and Real Espanyol, and although he's Catalan, he loves Spain a lot." Reiner said on the side, unlike Garcia, he didn't want to discuss these things too much, "Go to sleep, they just want to increase the psychological pressure on us, you know, how boring these things are, you don't have noise-canceling headphones, our bedroom is soundproofed well enough, they can't make us trouble, we can still sleep well." No matter how much trouble they make, it's just to add some pressure, what are they doing? ”

Zhao Yaning shook his head and didn't say anything. He just thought it was strange, this was the first time he had seen such a practice. It always feels a bit too much for the fans to support the team in this way.

"Actually, it also shows that they are still quite afraid of us, and we should be happy." Garcia added.

"I'm not that bored." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "Only such a thing will make the ghost happy." Besides, they value us, shouldn't they? Our strength is there, who dares not to value us? ”

In fact, the current media still disagrees with Liverpool.

"Perhaps, this game, Liverpool should think about playing a little less appropriately, after all, this game is at the home of Barcelona, at the Camp Nou. If this game continues to insist on offensive football, Liverpool's physical strength and technique may not be in the upper hand, after all, the opponent is Barcelona, a representative team of technical football, and there is no harm in playing more conservatively against such a team. In this game, a draw on the road, or even a small goal loss, is acceptable, after all, back at Anfield, there is one more game, and that game is the decisive battle. ”

English newspapers are giving Liverpool ideas, after all, the opponent is a top team like Barcelona, at this time, the Premier League media still don't believe that Liverpool can win a victory. In their opinion, it should be a good idea to draw away and then kill the opponent at home.

"However, this is too underestimating us." Zhao Yaning recalled those words, and only had one sentence to summarize, "Let them see how we won." ”——

Barcelona also paid enough attention to the encounter with Liverpool. In this game, they also sent all their main forces.

The goalkeeper is Valdés, their main goalkeeper, while the backline is made up of Zambrotta, Puyol, Marquez and Thuram. The backline is not Barcelona's forte, but they have added some reinforcements this season with the introduction of Zambrotta and Thuram. Zambrotta and Thuram are distributed on the two wings, naturally to offset the side advantage of the Premier League team, and the middle has Puyol, a strong defender, who can also hold up, and Marques, although last season was still mostly at the back, and has always had the problem of inconsistent play, but when he plays consistently, he is still a trustworthy defender.

And their midfield line is a trio of Xavi, Motta and Deco.

These three can be regarded as all-round midfielders, and in the game, Deco is in front, Xavi and Motta are behind, although their defense is not very good, but Barcelona is not a team that started by defense, the midfielders have strong passing ability, which helps them more, and their combination can also play a very good effect.

And on their forward line, it is a combination of Ronaldo, Samuel Eto'o and Messi.

This forward line is the most proud part of Barcelona, they have an extremely good forward line, all three people on a front line have excellent ability to attack alone, and they all have excellent coordination ability, and their cooperation has indeed played very good games time and time again.

Barcelona has changed a lot this season. Gyuli has been squeezed to the bench by Messi, Messi's ability to have the ball is stronger, this season Xiao Luo because of the disorderly life and explosive decline, break through the decline of the ability to do alone, in order to enhance Barcelona's ball-holding attack, Barcelona used Messi to replace the strong ability without the ball.

And Andres Iniesta is still on the bench. This player who is the same year as Zhao Yaning, although he has always been a genius, does not have a stable main position in Barcelona, where Xiao Luo is the core. On the one hand, injuries have affected his position, and on the other hand, his position has always been difficult to position. When he debuted, he even played in the midfield, and until now, he has stabilized in the rotation of the forward midfielder and the winger, but now, it is only a rotation player.

In this game, Ronaldo, Eto'o, Messi, and Deco were all present, and it can be said that Barcelona also did their best.

And Liverpool, on the other hand, also sent all the main forces. The goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is Reiser, Vidic, Carragher, McConn, while the double midfielders are Alonso and Sissoko, the front is Figo, Zhao Yaning is doing it, Kuyt is on the right, and Milito starts as a striker.

In this game, Liverpool also sent the best lineup. Mascherano is suspended, and Gerrard is the same, but the lineup sent by Liverpool is not bad.

"In this game, we saw a lot of acquaintances, Reina, Garcia, Luis Figo all returned to the Camp Nou. Garcia was on the bench, Reyna and Figo were both given starts, and they were all warmly received by the fans. ”

When Figo and Reina came on the pitch, they were greeted with a lot of boos. After all, they are players from here, and now that they are back at Camp Nou, the fans will naturally be booing. Reyna looked a little depressed, while Figo looked indifferent.

He's used to it.

As soon as the whistle blew, the game began. After a few transitions, the ball was quickly controlled at the feet of the Barcelona players. They were indeed more technical and delicate than the Liverpool players, and after all, they were playing at home, so they knew more about movement and had the ball in their hands soon after the game began. This situation also made the fans start to make crazy noise, after all, their team was able to get the ball and occupy the advantage, which naturally made them very happy.

"Barcelona got the ball, they controlled the game at home, Liverpool haven't had a chance until now, football has always been at the feet of Barcelona, Liverpudlians can only be played around!"

The Spanish commentators were also extremely excited about such a game, after all, being able to suppress Liverpool was enough to make them proud.

But as the game progressed, everyone soon discovered a phenomenon.

'Barcelona got the ball but only in their own half. The commentator on the English side first put forward this opinion, "Although Liverpool has no possession, but relying on excellent pressing and counter-attacking and pressing in front, Barcelona can only keep passing back and crossing, and the ball is always in their own half, although Liverpool has no chance now, but Barcelona has no chance." ”

Barcelona had the ball at their feet, but they couldn't put on a good attack. Throughout the game, they were suppressed in the second half, and such a game quickly reminded fans of another game: the World Cup match between Spain and France, which was lost.

In this game, it doesn't seem to be Barcelona who really has the advantage...... Cat flutter Chinese
