第81章 08-09的梅西VS11-12的梅西

The score remained unchanged until the whistle sounded for the end of the game.

At the moment when the whistle sounded, Arshavin looked at the big screen in the stadium unwillingly. The score of 4:5 on the scoreboard was so dazzling!

At that moment, he lowered his head, then quickly raised his head and walked towards the player tunnel. The people of the fighting nation would only bleed but not cry.

Xia Qi originally wanted to exchange jerseys with him, but when he saw him stubbornly raised his head and let the tears flow back, Xia Qi silently stood aside and watched him go away. A hero does not need comfort, this is the greatest respect.

Afterwards, Shaqi was surrounded by reporters. There is no doubt that he was the best player in the game. The reporters all wanted to hear his more interesting thoughts on beating Arsenal at home.

"I'm very happy," Shaggy told reporters with champagne in his hand representing the player of the match.

"To beat Arsenal is a big thing, to beat them at their home ground is even better."

This kind of answer was too standard. The reporters were dissatisfied and started making noises. One reporter asked, "Which one do you think is stronger, you or Messi?"

Shaggy said honestly: "Leo Messi will be a great player and it would be an honor to be compared with him."

"So are you looking forward to meeting Leo in the Champions League final?"

"I think Leo has to pass Chelsea first. Chelsea is not weak in this Champions League."

"Do you think Barcelona can't beat Chelsea?"

"Yes, if the referee doesn't help." Shaqi replied bluntly.

The reporters didn't know that this sentence later became evidence that Tiejun fans accused UEFA of intentionally controlling the field.

At this time, they just regarded it as Shaqi's dislike of Barcelona.

The reporters finally let Xia Qi go until the breaking news, packed up their bags one after another, and flocked to the press conference.

After the game, Mourinho said at the press conference that his team's victory was justified and reasonable. At the same time, he praised Arshavin and expressed his hope that he would have the opportunity to coach such a player.

Wenger's press conference was brief. He said the players had done their best, but luck was not on their side.

.........

The first leg of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League semi-finals is now over.

Chelsea's tenacious draw with Barcelona, ​​​​the favorite to win the championship, 0:0 away.

Inter Milan beat Arsenal 4:5 away.

Many believed that Inter Milan and Barcelona would have met in Rome, Italy if there had been no accident.

But the Iron Army Chelsea said no, Ballack and Drogba said no.

2009年5月8日08-09赛季欧冠半决赛次回合比赛开赛了。

The famous Stamford Bridge tragedy in football history was born on this day.

Chelsea Essien scored the lead and Chelsea's fantastic start turned Stamford Bridge into a sea of ​​joy.

However, the Blues were too happy too early. The referee Herning started his performance. In the 24th minute, Malouda broke into the penalty area and was directly pulled down by Alves. The referee Herning did not award a penalty, but gave a free kick outside the penalty area.

After the game, the referee Herning explained: "He judged Alves to have a pushing action outside the penalty area, instead of blowing the penalty area to pull people."

From the slow-motion playback, it can be seen that Alves did make a pushing action outside the penalty area, and the referee has the right to make a penalty based on this action.

This penalty is understandable. The next few penalties are really a disgrace to the refereeing world. The godson's welfare is too obvious.After the game, Herning could not find a reason, and could only emphasize that "mistakes are also part of the game."

In 26 minutes, Abidal uprooted Drogba in the penalty area, and no penalty + red card was awarded.

In the 56th minute, Drogba was brought down by Toure in the penalty area again, but there was still no penalty.

In the 82nd minute, Barcelona Pique handballed and there was no penalty.

A world famous scene took place in 95 minutes.

Eto'o's outstretched left upper arm in the penalty area blocked Ballack's vigorous volley. According to the rules, this is an undisputed penalty.

But the referee Herning, who was close at hand, didn't say anything.

An angry Ballack ran wildly with him for more than 20 meters on the court, constantly roaring and asking him: Where are your eyes?

The game ended in a 1:1 draw, and Barcelona advanced with more away goals.After the game, Drogba described it as "shameless", "disgusting" and "thief".

…………

Unlike Barcelona's controversial promotion, Inter Milan returned to the Meazza Stadium and defeated Arsenal from afar with a clean 1:0.

No matter how unwilling Ballack and Drogba are, in the end Inter Milan and Barcelona will compete for the Champions League title at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy on May 2009, 5.

Inter also played two Serie A and Coppa Italia games before heading to Rome, winning both.

The current Champions League final is Inter Milan VS Barcelona, ​​which is what most people are looking forward to.

Both teams are leaders in their own countries, and at the same time, they are both likely to win the league, cup, and Champions League Grand Slam. It is a real strong showdown!
Guardiola has the habit of collecting opponent data to study opponents before the game.

Guardiola these days is almost like an ascetic monk, a middle-aged uncle who is quite tasteful and attractive to girls,

He became slovenly, his body became thinner, his eye sockets were sunken, his face was haggard, and his head became brighter!

He put all his energy into the study of Quares and went immediately.

As a result, he hadn't figured out how to deal with Quaresma until the day before the game.

However, this will not hinder Barcelona's preparation training.

Because Barcelona's offensive training is never aimed at any team, in the offense, they only need to play Barcelona's own football to handle the opponent.

The problem is defense, which is Guardiola's biggest headache.

The other Inter Milan players are nothing to fear, but how to guard Quaresma?
Guardiola found that Quaresma was a hexagonal fighter and was so fast and destructive that no one in the team could keep up with him.

Guardiola never had an answer.Seeing that the game was about to start, he still couldn't figure out a way.In the end, I just decided to attack Inter Milan!
Yes, counter attack!
Since there is no way to fight defense, it is better to fight offense.

Anyway, defense is not Barcelona's strong point, but offense is. Why should we use our weaknesses and avoid our strengths?
Inter Milan's offense is very sharp, but our Barcelona's offense is not weak.

You have Quaresma, we have Messi!

No one is worse than anyone else.

After turning the corner in his thinking, Guardiola's head became a little bald again, and his thinking became clear at once, making him think about how to attack, which is what he is best at.

Give full play to the characteristics of Barcelona, ​​firmly control the football at their feet, use their tacit pass and run cooperation to tear apart Inter Milan's defense,
Then rely on Messi's personal skills to break into the penalty area and score.

As long as one's own team can firmly control football at its own feet, it can offset Inter Milan's offensive threat.

After all, football is safest under your feet.

This is the credo of Barcelona football.If you can't control the football, you can't control the game.

If you can't control the game, you can't win the game.Guardiola figured this out, and suddenly he was no longer obsessed with how to deal with Quaresma.

The mood is also a lot more comfortable.

Tonight, he could finally have a good night's sleep.

For Guardiola, this is not easy.

This is the first time in half a month that he was able to sleep soundly. This is very important, because tomorrow's game will not be easy. He needs enough sleep to recover his energy and deal with this game with a clear mind.

09/5/29

In the eyes of everyone, the duel between the two teams finally began.

It is the first time that Inter Milan and Barcelona have met in the final of the Champions League. It is the first time in the 54-year history of the European Champions Cup that the two teams have met in the final.

Although it was the first time they met in the final, these two teams are definitely no strangers to each other. The two teams met in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 02-03 season.

The two teams have this year's World Award contenders, Messi and Quaresma, adding to the topic and grievances of this game.

The biggest topic is that after the first round of the semi-finals, Xia Qi mocked Barcelona in an interview for relying on referees to advance. In fact, Xia Qi's original words were not so naked, but who cares?

Since Shaqi's remarks were made before the Stamford Bridge tragedy, it was interpreted by many media and fans as UEFA had planned to get rid of Chelsea early.

England's gossip is the mainstream, and the "Times", which likes to fabricate news, laughed at itself: Everyone except Stamford Bridge knows Platini's thoughts... He also said that sports should be pure, and we should not let profit chains infiltrate...

Many years later, I don’t know who shouted to sanction a certain cloth and confiscate Chelsea to let politics enter sports. Can you remember that one day in 09 he once shouted that sports should be pure? ………

Quaresma vs Messi is what Platini would love to see, and what sponsors and advertisers would love to see…

While criticizing UEFA, the media fueled the hype of Quaresma and Messi's peak duel.

"...Everyone in the audience, I am your old friend Noy, and I am Thomas.

We're broadcasting live for you right now outside the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy, and in four hours, this epic match will begin.

Now we can see that the stadium behind me is full of fans from Spain and Italy..."

The picture rotates with his gestures, showing the scene outside the stadium to the audience in front of the TV.

Some fans saw that the live broadcast camera was aimed at themselves and shouted loudly at the camera: "Ricardo Quaresma!" "Inter Milan!" Or "Leo Messi" "Barcelona!"

Since the final is being held in Italy, there must be more Inter Milan fans outside the stadium than Barcelona. It takes about seven or eight Inter Milan fans wearing blue and black sword stripes to see a Barcelona fan wearing red and blue sword stripes.

But this is not the case at the stadium. The number of fans of the two teams in the home and away stands is about the same, but the fans in the stands of neutral fans wearing Quaresma and Messi jerseys will not be mentioned. The fans wearing Roma and Juventus jerseys are actually cheering for Messi!
Italy is such a lovely country!
.........

Two hours before the start of the game, the buses of the players from both sides arrived at the stadium one after another under the guidance of police cars.

The atmosphere at the scene set off the first climax, Barcelona's car arrived first, so Barcelona fans gathered at the entrance, shouted slogans, and welcomed the arrival of the team.The name that these fans shouted the most was naturally Messi's name.

For a moment, the area was full of shouts of "Messi Messi".

Ten minutes after Barcelona arrived at the stadium, the Inter Milan bus also arrived.

The Barcelona fans who had surrounded the entrance had dispersed and were replaced by Inter Milan fans, who chanted "Ricciardo! Ricardo!" in unison, which was aimed at the former Barcelona fans who chanted "Messi".

Shaqi in the car also heard the cheers of the fans, he raised his hand and waved to the fans outside the car window.

The fans who received Shaqi's response were more enthusiastic, and their cheers were much louder than before.

Players from both sides came to the locker room and did not go out to warm up immediately because it was still early.

They rest and relax in the locker room. Some choose to take a nap on the massage table in the physiotherapy room, some choose to browse the Internet with their mobile phones and Twitter, some play games with a handheld game console, and some listen to music with headphones and close their eyes to rest their minds.

Of course, there are also people who gather to chat.

Xia Qi chose to take a nap on the massage table and take an inventory of his weapons by the way. There are not many weapons in the arsenal, only two weapons.

One is the Bright Ball Medal. This medal has been lit up for many games, but it has not been triggered. Xia Qi estimates that it will be available tonight.

另一个是2011-2012赛季西甲联赛梅西90分钟体验卡一张。这就非常的非常的有趣了，今晚的对手是08-09赛季的梅西而自己的武器装备却是11-12赛季的梅西，这可比关公战秦琼有趣的多了。

In fact, Xia Qi is not afraid of Messi in his heart. His logic is very simple. Ronaldo = Messi.

What's more, there is Messica in his peak period in his hand?

The teammates didn't think so. Captain Zanetti was a little nervous and forgot to talk about a "cross talk" with his good friend Materazzi.

Their talk show in the locker room before the game has always been an appetizer for Inter Milan. Today, the faces of the two were a little stiff, pretending that Messi was not in the mood to make fun of everyone.

After Xia Qi took inventory of the weapons, he wanted to say a few words, but then he thought about it. For Inter Milan, who has not entered the Champions League final for many years, any language, whether it is chicken soup or a joke, is pale and powerless...

Only scoring goals can give strength to teammates!

In comparison, Barcelona's dressing room is much easier.

Guardiola saw Messi, Eto'o and others listening to light music and arranging their equipment, and his heart became much easier.

"Ahem! Let me announce the starting lineup." Guardiola cleared his throat and said:

Today we play 433 lineup:

Goalkeeper: 1-Valdes
Defenders: 5-Puyol, 24-Toure, 3-Pique, 16-Sylvinho

Midfielder 8-Iniesta, 6-Xavi, 28-Busquets
Forwards: 10-Messi, 9-Eto'o, 14-Henry
Others are on the bench, children, go warm up, tonight is your night, and in an hour and a half, fans all over the world will be crazy about you. "

"Head, I just need female fans to be crazy about me..."

This year's players are still easy to lead, the requirements are very low!
