Last summer, Inter Milan and Barcelona made a player swap deal to add cash.

Ibrahimovic and Eto'o swap clubs.

This is a transaction that makes the outside world feel puzzling.

Eto'o performed well in Barcelona, ​​although Ibrahimovic is also very good, but it is nonsense to say that there is a huge difference between the two.

Moreover, Eto'o has proved that he can succeed in Barcelona's system, and the introduction of Ibrahimovic represents a risk.

Facts have proved that Ibrahimovic's transfer to Barcelona has not been considered too successful so far.

The outside world is always talking about the tactical "contradictions" between Ibrahimovic and Messi, and there are also conflicts at work between Ibrahimovic and Guardiola.

It is conceivable that Guardiola did not make this deal in a daze.

With the success of Barcelona, ​​the storm that has been set off has made many opponents fearful, so it will become the norm to deal with Barcelona with dense defense.

Barcelona can't often create anti-offside opportunities for Eto'o by passing and cutting behind the back as in the past. When breaking through dense defenses, Guardiola needs a center forward who can gain a foothold in the offensive danger zone and has a huge advantage. It is also a condition for serving Messi.

Ibrahimovic is a very good candidate in theory, he has a strong sense of presence in the penalty area, but what Guardiola did not expect is that Ibrahimovic is not the kind of player who is willing to serve others.

Others are saying that Messi is competing with Qin Xiong for the best player in the world. Perhaps in Ibrahimovic's mind, he himself is the strongest player in the world.

Talking about Ibrahimovic's arrogance is nothing new. How can such an arrogant player help others?

Because of this, Ibrahimovic is a player who needs others to serve him. His life in Barcelona is not easy, even if his scoring efficiency is not bad, but when he moved to Barcelona.He didn't simply swap with Eto'o, but Eto'o + cash for Ibrahimovic, which means that Ibrahimovic is much more valuable than Eto'o.

However, compared with Eto'o in the past, his good scoring efficiency does not reflect the gap as much as his worth. This will naturally make him under the pressure of public opinion, and his life is not very happy.

When Ibrahimovic and Qin Xiong hugged each other, both of them felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Zlatan. I am glad to see you again, but you will not be in a good mood when you leave today."

Ibrahimovic could hear the subtext in Qin Xiong's words, smiled and replied in Qin Xiong's ear: "Maybe, anyway, these years you have become more and more crazy, more and more like me. Now I just want to tell you : Speak with strength!"

Qin Xiong patted him on the back and said with a smile: "I always speak with my strength, hehe, although today is the match between Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​my opponent is not you, Zlatan, you shouldn't go From Barcelona. In Barcelona, ​​you will never be king, you know who my opponent is."

"Aren't you afraid that I will beat you?"

"You have to beat me first. Do you want to go to the boxing gym to practice again?"

"There must be a chance."

After Ibrahimovic and Qin Xiong let go of each other, he watched Qin Xiong walk in front of the Liverpool team with some reluctance, and the person standing parallel to Qin Xiong was the king of Barcelona: Messi!

The two turned their heads to look at each other tacitly, nodded at each other, then looked away, and at the same time the corners of their mouths rose slightly.In a flash, a strong fighting spirit arose at the same time!

The real battle of kings, the battle of superstars!

Under the leadership of the referee group.Players from the two teams walked into Anfield, and the Champions League theme song echoed in the stadium.

"The first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League will be played at Liverpool's home Anfield!

Last season's Champions League champions Barcelona challenged Liverpool in the first leg.This is a battle between the two favorites to win the title this season.

Liverpool has been reborn this season, and is about to win the top league in England. In the Champions League, they eliminated Real Madrid, the ten-time winner of the Champions League, with an exciting 10:3!

It may be too early for the two teams to meet, but this makes the fans feel even more excited, and the attention Liverpool has received has skyrocketed!

Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.

Liverpool starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio.

Midfield: Mascherano, Alonso, Lucas, Gerrard.

Forwards: Qin Xiong, Torres.

Koeman's lineup today is relatively conservative. Dirk Dirk sits on the bench and forms a tough defensive combination in the shape of a small diamond in the midfield. It is foreseeable that Liverpool will rely on Qin Xiong and Torres to charge forward and attack. The heavy responsibility was handed over to these two people.

Barcelona starting 433.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Defenders: Alves, Puyol, Pique, Maxwell.

Midfield: Keita, Xavi, Iniesta.

Forwards: Messi, Ibrahimovic, Pedro.

Barcelona still adopts a 433 formation today. Guardiola has repeatedly emphasized that the strength of Barcelona is their technical and tactical system. However, Barcelona, ​​which is not as shining this season as last season, may not be as smooth as the ideal plan in fine-tuning.

Anyway, let's see how the two teams fared in the match. "

After the pre-match kick-off ceremony, the battle between the two teams kicked off.

Barcelona kicked off first, and with the cheers of the Red Army fans at Anfield, the game began.

Koeman looked calm on the sidelines. After all, Barcelona and Real Madrid are different in style.

In particular, the gap in strength is still very large. From the perspective of team characteristics, Barcelona also focuses on pressing and attacking, but its ability to control the game situation is definitely hundreds of times stronger than Real Madrid.

So even at home, Koeman still adopted a tactical strategy of defensive counterattack.

After the start of the game, the audience can see that Liverpool's overall formation is relatively shrinking, the back line is retreating near the penalty area line, the midfielder adopts a frenzied pressing strategy, and places the key area of ​​pressing at forty yards from the goal. Avoid being torn apart by Barcelona's skillful passing and cutting offense.

Barcelona adopted a stable pass control strategy at the beginning of the game. In the first 3 minutes of the game, the Red Army players did not touch a football, and they did not create a shot. This caused boos in the Anfield stadium.

Red Army fans are not at all interested in Barcelona's technical and tactical style of play, thinking that Barcelona's football is a lullaby and will only make people drowsy!

The fans shouted and clamored in the stands, telling Barcelona to shoot if they could!shoot!shoot!

Sometimes Barcelona does seem to be a bit obsessed with passing and controlling, and Barcelona's godfather Cruyff will criticize the team for lack of desire to shoot. (to be continued~^~)
