Chapter 653 Huo Village Miracle Guardiola
(Brother Ren’s father passed away in the past two days, so I went to help. The daily update is one less, and it will return to normal tomorrow, but on average, [-] per day is still guaranteed)

In Barcelona's locker room, the atmosphere was very dull. The two pistachios in the locker room, Alves was injured, and Master Pique also had a rare serious face. If Pique is like this, let alone others.

Guardiola has stood in front of the tactical blackboard since entering the locker room, looking at the players in the locker room with piercing eyes, and has not spoken.

The Barcelona players in the locker room were all busy with their own affairs, some were tidying up their shin guards, some were drinking water silently, some were bowing their heads in thought, but everyone's movements were very light, as if there was someone in the locker room. Like a baby sleeping.

"Let's watch a movie and listen to music." Guardiola said suddenly.

If there are reporters eavesdropping outside at this moment, he will definitely be shocked. During the halftime break of such an important Champions League final, Guardiola actually said such words, which is a bit shocking.

"We are now in the great Rome, the center of Europe. Not far from us is the ancient Roman arena. In order to survive, gladiators fought with wild beasts 2000 years ago. Today we will take a look at the movie "The Angle" Fighter."

After Guardiola finished speaking, he used the video recorder in the dressing room to show the 7-minute inspirational short film he edited with the help of his friend who worked in the TV station.The short film is the scene of the Oscar-winning film "Gladiator", and the background music is the classic aria "Nessun Dorma" from the opera "Turandot". training and competition scenes.

Guardiola didn't say a word of encouragement, and the 7-minute short film made all the players excited.Pique stood up first, and said: "Reverse! We must reverse!"

Puyol waved his thick arms and roared: "Are we not as good as Liverpool? They can come back from three goals behind and win the championship."

Harvey, who has always been steady and low-key, said like a fortune teller: "This film will bring us good luck."

The king of Argentina, Messi, is usually reticent, and it is the same in the locker room. Although he did not speak at the moment, his clenched fists and uncharacteristically stern expression showed his fighting spirit and determination.

Seeing the players' emotions written on their faces, Guardiola added the last fire, "We should go all out, focus on team spirit, strive for every ball, and never give up lightly. We encountered It's a very strict and desperate team. It is impossible for us to win without giving [-]% effort. Gladiators can kill fierce lions. Can't we beat Hoffenheim? Even if the start is bad, but As long as we continue to work hard and combine work, perseverance, fighting strength and self-confidence, we will surely reap great results. The soul of the gladiator looks down on us from the sky, and we must prove that we are men."

"We have to prove that we are men." Barcelona's players roared in unison in the Barcelona dressing room.

In Hoffenheim's locker room, of course, it was a different scene. The two-goal lead in the first half exceeded the estimates of the most optimistic players. Assistant coach Zeidler, who was pessimistic about Hoffenheim before the game, had already Surprised by the score, speechless, in the locker room, Hoffenheim players and coaches made fun of Zeidler, saying he was an undercover agent for Barcelona.

Rangnick also changed his stern expression, and celebrated the victory in the first half with the players. The 15-minute rest time was occupied by celebrations. Seeing that there are still five or six minutes, Rangnick coughed twice and called a stop. Players celebrating.

Rangnick said: "We can't be too happy too early, the game is far from over, we still have 45 minutes to say we are the champions of the Champions League, against Barcelona, ​​the best attacking team in the world, goals are absolutely impossible for them. There is nothing wrong with it. We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity in the second half, continue to follow the path of the first half, defend intensively, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. After Arshavin was injured, our counterattack speed decreased, which is not very beneficial to our counterattack. Yes, I hope everyone must be careful."

Zeidler then added a sentence, saying: "Don't forget the night in Istanbul, AC Milan led by three goals, and finally was overthrown by Liverpool..."

Before Zeidler finished speaking, he was interrupted by the players. Gustavo said: "Coach Zeidler, you can't let Barcelona's morale destroy our prestige. Even if Barcelona is Liverpool, we will not It must be AC ​​Milan."

Obasi also said: "Yes, no matter how powerful their offense is, there is nothing we can do about it. They only had a few shots within the range of the goal frame in the first half."

Rangnick saw that the other players were also chattering, which made Caidler's face look ugly, and said: "Zaidler reminded you well, everyone, don't be careless, we need to calm down, we can score goals in the second half Just score a goal, if we can't score a goal, we can defend the score of 2:0, which is not bad."

The players on both sides had different experiences and behaviors in the locker room, and their expressions after they walked out of the locker room were also different. The Barcelona players were high-spirited, eager to try, and had a heavy desire for revenge, while the Hoffenheim players were beaming. High-spirited, the expression on his face became more relaxed.

In the second half, it was Barcelona who kicked off the game first. The Barcelona players were already full of enthusiasm. They wanted to learn like gladiators, kill Hoffenheim and become heroes in the hearts of the fans.After the opening, it rushed to Hoffenheim's penalty area like a tiger descending the mountain.

It seems that Barcelona's offense is no different from the first half. It is still a combination of wing attack and penetration in the center. It is still dominated by individual breakthroughs and passing cooperation, occasionally mixed with long-range shots. Barcelona played faster, more concisely, and more decisively when shooting from long range.

The Hoffenheim players were obviously blinded by the ease of the first half, and they didn't notice this obvious change in Barcelona. They felt that Barcelona was still the same as the first half, and they must be at their wit's end. , the victory and the championship belong to them.

Just 2 minutes into the second half, Henry shifted to the middle to grab a point. Xavi's long pass from midfield was pushed back to the front of the penalty area by Henry, and Iniesta got it. Xiaobai was immediately assigned to Messi on the wing.

Facing the right back Baker, Messi vented all his anger towards Li Huan on Baker. He took advantage of his fast frequency to continuously change speed and direction in front of Baker, turning back and forth repeatedly. Baker finally Defeated by Messi's quick turn, he was dizzy and cut into the penalty area by Messi, and Simunić had to come over to make up for it.

Messi was not greedy for merit, he directly passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area, looking for Iniesta, who was standing there.

When Iniesta saw the ball coming, he didn't even think about it. He lifted his foot and kicked it with the outer instep of his right foot. The ball drew a strange arc and flew straight to the right side of the goal.

Hildebrand never thought that Iniesta would shoot. Iniesta doesn't like to shoot, but it is the most famous in Europe. Sometimes his teammates even told him, "Don't pass it to me. Your position is better than yours. I'm better, just shoot." Hildebrand spent a period of time in Valencia in La Liga and was very familiar with Iniesta's character and skills, but because he was too familiar, he would A bit unexpected by Iniesta.

Fortunately, the position where the ball flies is not far from Hildebrand, and Hildebrand can reach it with a side jump, but Hildebrand ignored the footwork that Iniesta used when shooting. When his hand was about to touch the ball, the ball turned to the side strangely again, causing Hildebrand to make a mistake in his judgment, and his hand flew into the air.

The ball hit the post and bounced into the net!

2: 1!

This time the excitement turned into Spanish fans. The Spaniards are naturally passionate. After scoring their goal, their performance was even crazier than the German fans. The fans jumped up with a bang and shouted loudly, "Andrea! Iniesta Andres... Iniesta..." name.

Guardiola clenched his fists excitedly and yelled towards the field. He finally vented his suppressed emotions for 48 minutes. He scored at the beginning of the second half, which was a life-saving panacea for Barcelona. Two goals and one The gap between the balls is not just a ball. The mentality, fighting spirit, self-confidence of both sides, as well as the actions they may take during defense, will all undergo major changes as a result.

His Majesty King Carlos, who had been sluggish in the VIP box, also jumped up, like a boy in his teens. He lay down in front of the railing of the box and waved his fist towards the field, then turned around and went away again. Hugging Prime Minister Zapatero, "We have hope, the champion is coming back."

Zapatero was also very excited, saying: "This goal is really timely, so timely, Guardiola doesn't know what arrangements he made in the locker room, they played really well in the second half.

But at this time, His Majesty the King has ignored him, singing the Barcelona team anthem alone, just like a real fan.

The Hoffenheim fans and players were all stunned as if a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads. They couldn't believe their eyes. The opponent scored a goal within 2 minutes of the opening.The big ear cup that has already won two ears has now been captured by Barcelona.

Rangnick's relaxed expression suddenly froze. He was talking to the assistant coach. When the goal was scored, his mouth could no longer close.In an instant, Rangnick stood up, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted to the Hoffenheim players: "Steady! Must be steady! Must be steady, we are still ahead!"

Hoffenheim's players must also want to be stable, they are not impulsive to play against Barcelona now, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on. After the Barcelona players scored, they were very excited, and they wanted to go immediately. Two more goals reversed Hoffenheim, and their offensive became more violent.Even Harvey and Toure rushed up to try their luck with long-range shots.

The Hoffenheim players originally let Barcelona's long-range shot or pass the ball, just ignored it, and stayed near the penalty area. After being scored by Iniesta's long-range shot, they became jealous of Barcelona's long-range shot and dared not Then let them kick freely on the periphery, so that the defensive area will gradually expand.

The expansion of Hoffenheim's defensive area is conducive to Barcelona's penetration in the middle. Although Hoffenheim still has so many defensive players, Barcelona's passing back and forth among the crowd is like a fish playing with lotus leaves, often in Hoffenheim's penalty area. He also engages in passing cooperation, and sometimes even makes a back and forth in Hoffenheim's penalty area.The situation of the game is getting worse for Hoffenheim, and it is almost inevitable to see a goal.

At this time, Li Huan yelled from the sidewalk, "Foul! Fucking foul, can't kick the ball or anyone?"

Under Li Huan's first foul, the Hoffenheim players did not go for the ball, but directly slammed their bodies hard, and either they couldn't pass the ball, or they couldn't pass the ball.The frequent fouls by Hoffenheim players finally blocked Barcelona's cooperation, but they gave Barcelona two free kicks in just over 5 minutes.

The first free kick was missed by Harvey, Messi hit the first free kick limply, and was hugged by goalkeeper Hildebrand.

The players from Hoffenheim saw that the free kick skills of the Barcelona players were too poor, and the fouls became more bold and presumptuous, which made Barcelona's smooth cooperation messy. They had to pause every one or two minutes, but they finally blocked Barcelona. The crazy counterattack did not allow Barcelona to strike while the iron was hot and score another goal, but they also paid the price of three yellow cards. Gustavo, Tymoshchuk, Simunić and forward Obasi all received yellow cards in the backcourt

After 10 minutes in the second half, Hoffenheim gradually adapted to Barcelona's rhythm and was no longer as passive as it was at the beginning. Barcelona also needed a temporary breather after a round of onslaught.

After watching this thrilling 10-minute court TV, the three commentators and the on-site commentator all said something in common, "If Barcelona had a Li Huan, there would be no suspense for the championship now."

Zhang Lu even said: "If I were Labulta, no matter how much money it costs, I would buy Li Huan. With Barcelona's ability to create free kicks, and with Li Huan, let alone the triple crown, it would be the six crowns." Wang is not impossible. He even has the opportunity to create the miracle that Real Madrid did back then."

He Wei said: "With the personality of the Catalans, if Li Huan disturbs their dream of winning the Triple Crown, they will definitely not buy Li Huan. They are very proud."

Tao Wei said with a chuckle: "Even if Barcelona wants to buy Li Huan, Li Huan may not go there. Catalans only value their own direct descendants. Others are excluded there, and players are required to learn Catalan. To support the independence of Catalonia, Li Huan must hate such things."

He Wei was taken aback, and said: "Tao Wei is right, Li Huan really can't accept such a thing, he has always been bohemian."
