Chapter 1320, Champion, Bilanova's Expectations
Returning to Europe from China, the Chinese players' trip to Europe continues.
In addition to going all out for their respective leagues, the Champions League is their biggest dream for several Chinese players.
At the beginning of April, the quarter-finals of the Champions League came as scheduled, and several strong conversations were still exciting.
Valencia's match against Borussia Dortmund was the weakest match, but despite this, the two-legged match was as exciting as his.
In the opening game, the two teams played 2-2, and both goals from Valencia were scored by midfielder Gago, and the Real Madrid veteran has been in excellent form this season.
On Dortmund's side, Lewandowski performed eye-catchingly, and he also repaid the opponent with two goals.
The second leg was equally exciting, with Valencia scoring two more goals at the Stadio Veice, closing Borussia Dortmund to the brink.
However, in the second half, Dortmund ushered in a big explosion.
Gotze, Robert Lewandowski and Gundogan each provided an assist, and talented star Reus scored a trio to shine with a hat-trick!
3 to 2! Borussia Dortmund won this extremely difficult game! They finally advanced to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 5-4!
Although Valencia ended in the quarter-finals, their performances earned the respect of the world.
Also evenly matched were the matches between Barcelona and Paris.
If you only look at the strength on paper and the background of European competition, Barcelona has obvious advantages, but they have been lagging behind Laco in the league this season, and they are lacking in multi-line operations, so they can only rotate frequently and cannot send the strongest squad in theory.
And Paris laid the lead in the country early, and it is just around the corner from winning the championship in advance, coupled with the addition of Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Lucas Jr., Ravic and other strong reinforcements, they are not far behind in the face of Barcelona.
In the first leg, Ibrahimovic, who returned to Camp Nou, vented his dissatisfaction with being abandoned by Barcelona on the pitch.
Although it is no longer Guardiola, who he hates the most, in the coach's box, as long as he sees Barcelona's jersey, Ibrahimovic is angry.
Less than 10 minutes into the game, Ibrahimovic received the ball from outside the penalty area, turned and shot into the net!
1 to 0! Dabong opened the scoring first!
However, it was not long before Barcelona responded with a goal.
In the following time, Messi and Villa both scored to help the team take a 2-1 lead.
At the start of the second half, Paris's biggest disadvantage was revealed.
Compared to Barcelona, Paris have strong forwards and solid defenders, but their midfield is far inferior to Barcelona.
The entire second half was completely Barcelona's time, and Habaib's top-level control made Paris very passive, Xavi's brilliant long-range shot and Iniesta's forward burst helped the team score two more goals.
In the end, the result of this game was fixed at 4-1, and Barcelona won a big victory at home!
With a three-goal lead, Barcelona travelled to the Parc des Princes a few days later to prepare for the end of Paris' European campaign this season.
But what they didn't expect was that they were met with a fierce counterattack from Paris at home!
At the end of the 45 minutes of the first half, almost all the Barcelona players couldn't believe it.
3 to 0! Paris equalized on aggregate!
It's all the same guy who scored the goal – Ibrahimovic!
He scored a "perfect hat trick" with his left foot, right foot, and header in the first half, helping Paris to score 3-0 at half-time!
Now not only is the aggregate score 4-4, but Paris also has an away goal in their hands!
Barcelona are in danger now!
Listening to the cheers at the Parc des Princes in Paris, Ibrahimovic enjoyed every moment of the moment.
Looking back on the unhappy experience at Barcelona and looking back at the present, Ibrahimovic feels that he has made the right choice to come to Paris.
Back in the dressing room, unlike the laughter and laughter in the direction of Paris, there was a rare silence in the Barcelona dressing room.
After a long time, Villanova slowly spoke: "Guys, I have news for you. At the end of this season, I will resign as Barcelona manager. ”
Hearing Vilanova's words, the Barcelona players felt like they were pinched.
Although everyone thought about it, after all, Vilanova's physical condition was well known to everyone, but they were still very sad to hear the coach's official announcement.
Although Vilanova has only been the coach of Barcelona for one season, he has served in the Barcelona club for many years, especially since 2004, he has been the coach of the Barcelona B team, and has a very good relationship with many players in the current Barcelona team.
Vilanova looked at everyone, his voice was flat and soft, and he didn't seem like a backward manager.
"At the end of the season, I'm going to be in cancer treatment for a while, and it's still unknown if I'll be able to get back on the pitch, oh no, it's not known how long I'll live."
Iniesta on the side had tears in his eyes: "Coach, you will definitely be fine!" ”
Villanova smiled slightly and looked at Xiaobai indifferently: "Man, in a lifetime, who doesn't live and die." I'm already very bearish. I just want to be able to bring something different to my favourite team in my last season at Barcelona, like the Champions League, the league title. ”
"There are still 45 minutes to go, we go home, or we go to the semi-finals and continue to go down, it's up to everyone. I didn't think we had a problem with our tactics, but we were careless and that's why we were scored in a row by Paris. Or are you having won enough Champions Leagues and no longer have the passion to compete for them? ”
"Coach, our passion for champions will never wane!" Messi stood up, although he was not tall, but when he looked at his teammates, he looked very imposing.
"Guys, we didn't do well enough in the first half, I have a big reason for that, and in the second half I want everyone to cheer up and treat Paris as an opponent of the level of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid! Go all out and see off the coach with a triple crown! ”
With the belief that they must win, Barcelona was united and rushed to the stadium with great momentum.
In the second half, when Paris was not firmly established, Messi staged a good show of riding alone. He shot past three people in a row, slid off the post, and was just a fraction of a second away from scoring.
A few minutes later, Xavi and Iniesta cooperated, and after the two went one-two, when Messi was running and was closely guarded by the Paris defenders, Xavi hit a powerful long-range shot!
The ball goes into the net!
3 to 1! Barcelona pulled a goal back!
Ten minutes later, this time it was Andres Iniesta's sudden shot on the line of the penalty area, and the ball quickly went straight to the net against the turf!
3 to 2! Barcelona scored another away goal!
And in the 74th minute of the game, Messi finally took advantage of a direct free kick opportunity and hit a very wonderful curling ball, and the ball went straight into the corner of the goal!
3 to 3! Barcelona equalised!
Although Ibrahimovic scored another goal and staged a big four, overtaking the score again, the score of 4-3 was still not enough to advance.
When the referee's whistle blew, Barcelona Barcelona scored 7-5 on aggregate, and they eliminated Grand Paris and took the lead in reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League!
