Chapter 652 The Formidable Team

The TV in the room was showing live news.

On the way to the Signal-Iduna Park Stadium on the bus before the start of the Dortmund team game, there were 3 explosions around the bus!
The windshield of the bus was shattered and Barcelona transfer centre-back Marc Bartra's players were injured in the explosion and have been taken to hospital.

After the explosion, both police and firefighters arrived at the scene. The police evacuated all spectators in the Signal Iduna Park Stadium and have launched a comprehensive investigation.

A police spokesperson told the public that the entire area is now under close surveillance. At present, other Dortmund players are in a safe situation, and other dangers have been ruled out near the stadium. The entire area is gradually returning to normal.

The police are still unable to determine the cause of the explosion and the motive of the attacker.

All Monaco personnel remained in their hotel rooms following police advice.

Soon Li Liang's phone rang.

Xiao Yu, who was staying in Monaco, almost cried on the phone, and was relieved when she learned that Li Liang was safe and sound.

After Li Liang comforted her repeatedly, Xiao Yu reluctantly hung up the phone.

He Wei also called. The sports channel had already made all the preparations for the live broadcast, but because of this unexpected incident, it had to temporarily adjust the live broadcast plan and instead broadcast the Juventus home game against Barcelona.

The father and mother who were standing in front of the TV also called immediately. After knowing that Li Liang was safe, the two old people were relieved. The mother repeatedly told Li Liang to pay attention to safety when going out.

Da Xiong also called from the United States, and he also sweated for Li Liang.

Lao Xu, Lao Yu, Hei Zi, Ding Ding, Dong Gua, Da Nan, Dong Zi, Bald Qiang, Chu Xianyun and other gay friends also called.

To Li Liang's surprise, even Lippi called to ask questions, and Godino also called later.

What surprised him the most was that Mourinho also called. After a brief conversation, Magic Bird sighed: "It is difficult for both sides of the game not to be affected. Li, I wish you and Dortmund good luck... "

The care of relatives and friends made Li Liang feel warm, and he gradually calmed down.

There was no further news about the bombing, so Li Liang found a channel with a live broadcast of the UEFA Champions League.

There was still a while before the game started, and he landed in the Dortmund fan community again.

At this moment, everyone is praying for Baltra. Compared with the safety of the players, the outcome of the game has already lost its meaning.

Bartra suffered a hand injury and needed surgical treatment and will definitely not be able to continue participating in the game in a short time.

The team manager knocked on Li Liang's door and told him that he had been notified that the game would be postponed until 24 hours later.

Everyone gradually relaxed from the tension. Li Liang, Mbappe and Falcao went to the room of the team's fitness coach, the Italian Spignoli, and they were going to watch the upcoming Juventus and Barcelona games together. battle between.

The pre-match preview was being broadcast on TV, and none of the four knew German, so they could only guess based on the screen.

After a lot of work, Mbappe finally found a channel with English commentary, and Li Liang was responsible for the translation for everyone.

First, it showed Barcelona's unexpected 0:2 loss to Malaga in the last round of the league, and gave a lot of close-up shots of Portuguese international Andre Gomes.

Falcao, who is very familiar with La Liga, sighed: "This is a good player, but he has not been able to gain a foothold in Barcelona.

Not everyone can find their place on the best team in the world, especially when you play with the best players on the planet, the pressure is not something ordinary people can handle! "

The screen lists the data comparison between Gomez and Butzquez, who has been suspended for accumulative yellow cards and cannot play in the Juventus Arena. The anchor expects Gomez to replace Butzquez in this game.

The four agreed that it would be difficult for Gomez to make up for the significant impact caused by Butzkes' absence. At this moment, the starting lists of both sides were displayed on the screen. Sure enough, Gomez did not start. It was Argentina who replaced Professor Buzkes as the midfielder. Veteran Mascherano.

Juve's starting lineup surprised everyone. Coach Allegri was not conservative in the face of the mighty Barcelona. At the same time, he sent four attackers: Higuain, Dybala, Mandzukic and Cuadrado.

Spignoli said: "The game against Barcelona has a special meaning.

I was there in the final two years ago, when Juventus lost to Barcelona.

After that they sent Tevez away, Morata returned to Real Madrid, Vidal went to Bayern, Pogba was also bought to Manchester United, but Juventus became stronger! "

Li Liang and Falcao unanimously expressed their opposition, both of them are optimistic about Barcelona.

The anchor began to introduce the recent situation of the two sides. Apart from Barcelona's turnaround of the century at the Nou Camp, in fact, this season's performance is not stable.

And Juventus has maintained a record of 20 consecutive unbeaten games, and has achieved an impressive record of 47 consecutive unbeaten games in the Juventus Arena.

Spignoli firmly believes that Juventus will beat Barcelona at home, Li Liang and Falcao expect the two sides to draw, and Mbappe said that Barcelona may win away.

The game started soon, and Juventus, who were playing at home, was full of momentum and launched a fierce attack on Barcelona from the very beginning.

Khedira tried a long-range shot from the outside just after the start of the game, and the ball flew over the crossbar and into the stands.

Immediately after the 3rd minute, Pjanic took a free kick on the left side of the penalty area. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately hugged the ball.

The Italian Spignoli became more and more excited, while Li Liang found that the absence of Professor Bu had a great impact on the operation of Barcelona 343!
In the 7th minute, Cuadrado received an accurate long pass from his teammate in the frontcourt and stepped on his bicycle facing Mathieu's defense. When he approached the right side of the penalty area, he suddenly tapped on the door. Surrounded by catching the ball and adjusting it, he turned around and made an arc and went straight to the far corner!
Pique, who intercepted the Argentine head-on, was caught off guard. The ball bypassed Pique and flew into the net. Ter Stegen was beyond his reach, 1:0!

Spignoli jumped up and cheered, and he shouted excitedly: "This is the most ideal start!"

In the 12th minute, Messi's free kick was slightly higher.Barcelona gradually regained their rhythm, but Juventus' solid defense made it difficult for them to open the situation.

In the 21st minute, Messi sent a wonderful through pass in front of the 30-meter area in the middle. The ball penetrated the Juventus defense in an instant. The tip blocked the ball out of the bottom line!
Spignoli cheered, and the remaining three were stunned by the 39-year-old goalkeeper Buffon's godlike performance.

Barcelona, ​​who missed the equalizer, was immediately punished.

In the 22nd minute, Mandzukic dribbled the ball from the left to near the bottom line and then passed back in an inverted triangle. Dybala, who was in hot form, followed up to the front of the penalty area and pushed the ball. The ball passed Pique again. The only gap between ter Stegen and the post flew into the goal again!

2:0, Juventus established a two-goal lead halfway through the first half!

Spignoli was full of spirits, and he said happily: "Allegri's team is actually not good at scoring goals, which is just great!"

Li Liang understood what Spignoli meant, and he could already see from the screen that Juventus' defense was getting tighter and tighter, and the defenders no longer showed obvious gaps.

Then Juventus still took the initiative, and Barcelona also counterattacked but they were unable to pose a threat.At the end of halftime, Juventus temporarily leads Barcelona 2:0.

The 4 spectators in the hotel room were discussing enthusiastically. They always believed that the loss of control in the midfield was the biggest problem for Barcelona, ​​and there was nothing they could do about the unlucky Barcelona defense line that encountered Dybala's amazing efficiency.

Before the start of the second half, the views of the four were basically the same. Everyone believed that Barcelona wanted to turn defeat into victory in the away game unless there was another miracle.

At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona first adjusted, they removed Mathieu and replaced them with Gomez.

Then Barcelona's offensive began to improve and gradually controlled the situation on the field.

Iniesta and Suarez continued to create dangerous situations in front of Juventus. Fortunately, Buffon and several defenders played well to keep the goal.

In the face of Barcelona's targeted adjustments, Juventus has become more and more difficult to play and can only rely on Higuain's counterattack to attack Barcelona's goal.

When the 4 TV viewers thought that Barcelona was about to fully rise, in the 55th minute, Pjanic took a left corner kick. Chiellini snatched the ball and nodded. The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal. 3: 0!

Looking at the Juventus players cheering and celebrating in the picture, even Spignoli was stunned.

Even the boldest predictor before the game could not have imagined such a score!Everyone thought that after the disastrous defeat at the Parc des Princes in Paris and the subsequent miracle at the Camp Nou, Barcelona was like a rebirth from the phoenix and had returned to its former glory.

Unexpectedly, in this battle, Juventus scored 3 goals in a row for two years!
Then the mentality of the Barcelona players became unbalanced, and their actions became obviously louder. Iniesta, Umtiti and Suarez received yellow cards successively.

Li Liang sighed in his heart. At this stage of the game, it is already difficult for Barcelona to create miracles again.

Although they are still working hard to attack, in front of Juventus' impenetrable defense and the brave Buffon, Barcelona has never been able to score away goals.

At the end of the game, Juventus beat Barcelona 3:0 at home, and also extended their unbeaten record at home to 48 games!
Spignoli still has more to say, he asserted that such a Juventus is enough to enter the final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!

Although he hopes that Barcelona will stage another great comeback, Li Liang knows that his desire to meet Messi in the game seems to be difficult to realize this season.

Spignoli said: "None of you participated in the quarter-finals between us and Juventus two years ago. If we can surpass Dortmund this time and finally enter the final with Juventus, it would be perfect!"

Mbappe asked: "What if we met Juventus in the semi-final?"

Spignoli had a complicated expression, and he came over for a while before answering: "Son, although I support Juventus, my heart belongs to Monaco now.

If that's the case...

I believe……

We should have won against Juventus..."

Everyone could hear the lack of confidence in Spignoli's tone.
