Fame with a ball

At the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London, a Champions League quarter-final will be held here tonight, attracting the attention of the whole of Europe.

Just because the two sides of the game are Barcelona and Chelsea.

Barcelona, ​​which is dubbed the "cosmic team" by the media, is considered unbeatable by many people, and how to restrain Barcelona's tactics has become a common headache for all famous coaches in the world.

Chelsea, this team was originally built with money from rich Russians.After several years of experience, he has won many honors, and finally took shape as a wealthy family.

The significance of the game is greater. The Premier League and La Liga have been competing for the title of the world's number one football league in recent years. This game can barely be regarded as a confrontation between the highest-level clubs in the two countries.Looking at it from a small perspective, both Barcelona and Chelsea have a large number of fans in their own country and even the world. There is a feud between them (the Stamford Bridge scandal), and the sparks that burst out in this game are not insignificant.

In addition to the fans of the two clubs, almost all professional players and head coaches in Europe are also paying attention to this game. The players are all here.Some people can't come to the scene, so they stay at home and watch TV, such as the head coaches of other leagues, or people who are concerned about their reputation, such as Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho, Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger , Manchester United coach Ferguson and so on.

Stamford Bridge Stadium has a total of four stadium stands, which can accommodate 42449 spectators.Except for the [-] Barcelona fans who followed the team to London, the rest of the Chelsea fans and neutral fans all chose blue jerseys to show their support for Chelsea.

It's not that they love Chelsea so much, but that Barcelona's performance and strength are more likely to arouse the hostility of others.

This is the third time Lin Zhigao came to the Stamford Bridge Stadium, but he just watched the game from the stands.Sitting next to him are his teammates and the head coach, and a little further away, there are other members of the Premier League team and most of the neutral fans.

When the players from both sides of the game appeared in the player channel holding the hands of the caddies in blue, there was a huge cheer in the stadium.

Because it is Chelsea's home court, every time Chelsea plays a player, there will be huge cheers.In Barcelona, ​​only Messi has been treated similarly to Chelsea players.He has a good character and good football quality, and he is still liked by many fans in the world.

When the commentator introduced the starting lineups of both sides, Chelsea fans spontaneously sang Chelsea's team song: "Blue, our true colors. "The number of Barcelona fans who are at a disadvantage are not to be outdone, howling Barcelona's team song: "Barcelona!Barcelona!Barcelona! "In all fairness, Lin Zhigao still thinks Chelsea's team song sounds better.

……

How to defeat Barcelona has indeed become a worldwide research topic. Presumably before the game, Chelsea's head coach Villas-Boas also had a hard time thinking about the tactical arrangement of the game and the starting lineup.

Among all the world-class coaches, Mourinho is one of the most in-depth and thorough studies on how to restrain Barcelona.

In Mourinho's Chelsea era, he once turned Chelsea into a nightmare for Barcelona. Whenever Barcelona met Chelsea, most of them would not win. Presumably this is why Real Madrid later found Mourinho as their head coach. One of the important reasons.

Even in the era of Mourinho's Inter Milan, the outcome of encountering Barcelona is only five or five.But after Mourinho went to La Liga to coach Real Madrid, the Barcelona nemesis factor in him didn't work very well. Real Madrid was eaten by Barcelona like the previous few seasons.

Some people will find various reasons for Mourinho's failure against Barcelona, ​​among which the change of tactics is a very important factor.

It is true that Mourinho's tactics against Barcelona in today's Real Madrid era are indeed different from the previous Chelsea era.

In the Chelsea era, Mourinho chose restraint tactics when dealing with Barcelona: Barcelona has a high ball possession rate, accurate passing, and a fast pace.Then let Chelsea disrupt the opponent's position, disrupt the rhythm of Barcelona and steal all possession.Treating Barcelona as an object and destroying it fiercely-this tactic has indeed succeeded, as can be seen from Chelsea's record of losing less and winning more against Barcelona.

But when Mourinho went to Inter Milan and Real Madrid, he gradually changed his tactics against Barcelona and replaced it with "learning from foreigners to control foreigners".This is somewhat similar to the Murong family's unique learning, but what the madman ignores or hasn't found a solution to is that Barcelona has reached the peak in the art of football.

It is very difficult to completely copy the second Barcelona, ​​because many players have unique characteristics, let alone want to use the copied clone to defeat the owner?

So now Mourinho is changing his tactics again. I hope he can find a way to deal with the Cosmos team before the Real Madrid management loses and wants to fire him.

……

Chelsea's head coach, Villas-Boas, used to be Mourinho's assistant coach. His tactical layout and on-the-spot command ability are deeply engraved with Mourinho's imprint.

Before the game, the Catalan media once clamored: Even Mourinho can't beat Barcelona, ​​can you be his former follower?

Boas did not give any response to the opponent's provocation before the game.Maybe his tactics are all inherited from Mourinho, but his character is his own-Mourinho is a famous outspoken madman, if he is caught by Catalonia before the game The media ridiculed it like this, and the madman would have already turned upside down.

But Boas is cautious, stable, very calm and self-sustaining, with the demeanor of a general.

Before the game, many media predicted that at the beginning of the game, in order to prevent being affected by the crazy home atmosphere, Barcelona may try their best to score goals at the beginning of the game, so that the normal game can maintain the rhythm of their own team.

But the reality of the game is that Barcelona on the field was suppressed by Chelsea across the board.

Villas-Boas used a tactic that Mourinho used to use when he stayed at Chelsea - destruction.

Crazy to destroy everything in Barcelona, ​​rhythm, possession, entry, blah blah blah.

Although two players each received a yellow card for this, the yellow card was worth it.After half an hour of the game, Barcelona failed to score a goal, but Chelsea took the lead in scoring a goal.

The game has always been carried out in the rhythm of Chelsea. The Blues fans in the stadium were so excited that their throats were broken. They crazily cheered for the players on the field and booed the Barcelona players who dribbled the ball. .

"This is the tactic to beat Barcelona!" Campbell expressed his opinion while watching the game: "Mourinho clearly crushed Barcelona at Chelsea before, why did he change his tactic once he arrived at Real Madrid? If he still used the previous tactics, maybe Barcelona would have been beaten by Real Madrid long ago."

It has to be said that, as a crazy head coach with extraordinary talents, Mourinho still has a great status in the hearts of many players.

"It's different." Warnock frowned and said: "Mourinio is right to change his tactics against Barcelona. He doesn't want to use the method of destroying the opponent's tactics every time he plays against Barcelona. To win, it is easy for the opponent to see through the counterattack, and it is rude and unartistic. And his blind copying of Barcelona's tactics now may not just want to use Barcelona's method to defeat Barcelona, ​​he may want to extract the essence and thoroughly study Barcelona The real reason for winning, and then add your own characteristics - if you don't want to be led by the nose by Barcelona, ​​you have to lead them by the nose first. Mourinho is now going further, although it has not achieved much .”

After a pause, Warnock continued: "Chelsea was able to beat Barcelona in the past not only because of the head coach. The tyrannical style of play in the Premier League suppressed the technical flow of La Liga. At that time, Chelsea's winger tactics, in the opening match He stunned Barcelona at halftime and scored a goal first. When Barcelona's midfielder reacted and adjusted his tactics, Mourinho's unexpected substitutions and tactical changes were the key to Chelsea's victory at that time. reason."

"But now Barcelona has been beaten? Their possession rate is probably not even 30%."

Lin Zhigao interjected at this time: "I think what the boss wants to say is that there are many reasons why Chelsea won in the past. They had excellent wing tactics, Mourinho's excellent on-the-spot command ability, and The Premier League teams are inherently suppressing La Liga's technical flow-but now Chelsea has only the last advantage. And this advantage will not be maintained for too long."

Warnock looked at Lin Zhigao and smiled very relieved: "That's what I mean. In fact, Boas's tactical style is not like this. His previous tactics were tight defense and sharp offensive counterattack. But now he wants to deal with Barcelona deliberately changed their tactics before the game, but they were easily led by Guardiola. If nothing else, Barcelona will change their tactics in the second half."

The referee blew the halftime whistle and the score was 1:0 in the first half. Chelsea took the lead temporarily.

……

After the intermission, Barcelona, ​​which started the second half, really changed its tactics.

Faced with Chelsea's ferocious and brutal offense, and the tactic of banning Barcelona players from scoring if they can't foul, Guardiola's response is to use his tricks.

The following grandly introduces the key figure of this game - Lionel Andres Messi!

He played in the midfielder position in the first half, but in the second half he was suddenly arranged by Guardiola as a winger.

As we all know, the winger is the most vulnerable position on the pitch.

So Messi's function is undoubtedly, bait.

Even Lin Zhigao could see this tricky tactical change, but Chelsea coach Villas-Boas did not respond.

Maybe he is a fan of the authorities, or maybe he hopes that Chelsea can score another goal with their desperate style of play to lock in a 2:0 advantage.No matter how good Barcelona's tactical changes are, Guardiola will be powerless.

It's just that God stood behind the Catalans at this moment.

Less than 5 minutes into the second half, the referee blew his whistle.

Chelsea's No. 8 midfielder Lampard spread his hands on his chest with an innocent face. In front of him, Messi was lying on the ground, frowning and moaning while hugging his right foot.

The camera faithfully transmitted this picture, and the [-] Barcelona fans in the Stamford Bridge immediately booed all over the sky, shouting loudly in English: "Foul! Foul! Foul!"

Blues fans not to be outdone: "Dive! Dive! Dive!"

Lin Zhigao didn't pay attention to the disputes of the fans, he was watching the big screen and went back to his room.

Messi is running with the ball, very fast.Lampard intercepted the ball in front of him, unsuccessfully, and Messi quickly passed Lampard and dribbled the ball into the Chelsea penalty area.Everyone knows how terrifying Messi with the ball is. Lampard can't let Messi rush into the penalty area, so he can only foul-shovel from behind.

The process before and after Lampard's foul was clearly played back on the big screen. If there is no accident, he will receive a yellow card.

It's just that even if there is a screen playback, it is impossible to say how strong his foot is, and it cannot be said that Messi flopped. After all, Lampard's foul is a fact that cannot be ignored.At most, Messi put a little pressure on him in order not to make the referee too biased towards the home court.

Sure enough, the referee quickly showed Lampard a yellow card and an indirect free kick.

Lampard didn't tell the referee either, he obediently returned to the Chelsea half, waiting for the game to start again.

Barcelona is Messi's free kick.

I saw him standing in front of the penalty spot, and after two steps of approach, he quickly rushed to the football. The fans in the stands with fast speed could only see a blue-green figure.

Before Lin Zhigao had time to see how Messi took the kick, the fans sitting in front of him let out a shocking sound of surprise, and immediately some restless fans stood up, completely blocking Lin Zhigao's shot Eye.

He also had to stand up with him, but he happened to see the moment when Messi shot the football into the goal...

"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

At this moment, even the England commentator responsible for explaining the game couldn't help but cheer for Messi's performance.

Lin Zhigao was deeply shocked.

From the penalty spot to Messi's goal, the football has passed through three legs.

Messi passes to Fabregas, Fabregas passes to Xavi, Xavi passes back to Messi.

Accurate passing!Excellent ball control!And the shocking coordination ability of tacit understanding!

It's Barcelona, ​​it's Messi.

……

In the rest of the game, the pace of the game fluctuated from fast to slow, and both Chelsea and Barcelona wanted to have the absolute initiative.

The only constant is Messi's decoy effect.

In order to contain Messi's attack, Chelsea's players have already received five yellow cards from him, and Villas-Boas has used up all the substitution lists.

People with a discerning eye can already see it at this time, and Barcelona may have the last laugh.

Messi was fouled, tackled and pulled by Chelsea players in the second half of the game.

But the football still seems to be stuck under his feet. If Chelsea players don't pay attention, he will be dribbled by him.

In the No.803 minute of the game, Messi scored again in the penalty area.

Most places in the Stamford Bridge Stadium were silent, neither the Blues fans nor the neutral fans could make any sound at the moment.

"The current Barcelona is really invincible..." Warnock couldn't help but sighed.

The QPR players chimed in.

And Lin Zhigao, at this time, was fully inspired to fight.

Every game in Barcelona is like Messi's personal exhibition game.Perhaps when other professional players see Messi playing, they will think in their hearts: It would be great if I could become a player like Messi.

But what Lin Zhigao thought in his heart was: If I could beat Messi head-on in the game, that would be great...

Messi is the first person who let Lin Zhigao taste the taste of being inferior to others. Lin Zhigao will never forget the taste of failure.

Leo Messi.

Lin Zhigao thought silently in his heart: I will defeat you one day!

……

The audience in front of the TV has given up hope for Chelsea to clean up the "Stamford Bridge scandal". The official game time has ended, and only 5 minutes of stoppage time are left for Chelsea to be defeated.

No one would believe what miracles could happen in those 5 minutes.

But in the Stamford Bridge, the Blues fans have not given up. They are cheering for the team, and their throats are almost hoarse.

Maybe Chelsea players have to give up this game...

Do not!

There is one person who hasn't given up yet!

There are sudden changes on the field!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

The commentator of Sky TV in England almost broke the microphone!

Almost instantly, unimaginable cheers broke out in the stadium, shaking the sky and the earth.

"Great Fernando! Chelsea's absolute core Fernando! Strong and unyielding Spaniard! He equalized for Chelsea in the last 2 minutes of stoppage time! Barcelona did not take away the victory from Stamford Bridge!"

"Barcelona did not take away the victory from Stamford Bridge!" The Blues fans cheered together.

Barcelona's players, as well as coach Guardiola, were stunned, they didn't know what happened.

The scene where Fernando Torres scored a goal was replayed on the big screen in the stadium.

The handsome man known as "Beckham" in Spain has never given up hope of equalizing the score, even in the last second of the game.

Finally, in stoppage time, the Barcelona players let up and the defense was less tight.

Fernando Torres broke into the opponent's penalty area single-handedly at this time and finally scored a fatal goal.

Although Chelsea did not win against Barcelona, ​​they did not lose the game either-they have successfully washed away the shame of Stamford Bridge three years ago!

The key to such a wonderful goal is such a desperate spirit, which deserves everyone's cheers.

Lin Zhigao and all the QPR players stood up and cheered for Chelsea and Torres!

The camera shot across the carnival fans, caught Lin Zhigao inadvertently, and stopped immediately - Lin Zhigao is different from the Asian face of a large group of Caucasians around him, in the eyes of the cameramen, he is indeed very eye-catching. identify.

What's more, he is also the most famous rookie in the Premier League this season, a super shooter.

The commentator on Sky TV also laughed. Although it was disappointing that Chelsea did not beat Barcelona, ​​for the Chelsea players, they have tried their best.After all, a draw is better than a loss, right?

So the commentator said jokingly: "It seems that not only the fans of the two teams came to watch the game, but also the players of our Premier League. Look who was caught by the camera? Lin! The best player in the Premier League this season Dazzling new star! He is standing up and cheering for Chelsea at this time, and he must also think that the Chelsea players in this game did a good job."

"It reminds me of Queens Park Rangers' two games against Chelsea this season, both wins! Lin Zhigao even scored four goals against Chelsea - Barcelona has never done that! Haha, Barcelona even Not as good as QPR, they didn't take a win from Stamford Bridge!"

Bosroyd laughed and pointed to the big screen above the court, and patted Lin Zhigao on the shoulder: "Hey, Lin, you're on TV!"

Lin Zhigao took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw the camera was shooting at him.

So he smiled and gestured a V to the camera.

……

Fabregas is comforting Messi: "Their last goal was too lucky. We didn't lose two away goals. When they come to Campno, we will give them a good game."

Messi smiled and was about to speak when his eyes accidentally brushed the big screen on the field, and he was taken aback for a moment.

"What are you looking at?" Fabregas didn't hear his friend's words, and followed his gaze, wondering.

"Why did the camera keep shooting at him?"

"Who?"

"The Asian."

"Oh, you said Lin!" Fabregas suddenly realized.

Unlike Messi who has been staying in Barcelona, ​​he has never had the experience of serving in other leagues.Fabregas used to be Arsenal's main captain and has many friends in the UK.

He also glanced at the big screen, and said: "That is the most powerful new star in the Premier League this season. Just played one season and pulled Robin from the top scorer list. I heard last week that, It seems that he has scored 30 goals? Only less than Ronaldo in the five major leagues! What a horrible number!"

"Lin what?"

Fabregas looked puzzled: "?"

"I meant his name."

"Linzhigao." Cesc Fabregas breathed a sigh of relief after pronouncing these three sounds with great difficulty: "Chinese names are really hard to pronounce, aren't they?"

But Messi didn't answer him, because he was frowning at the moment, with a strange expression on his face and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Cesc Fabregas thought he was thinking wrong, so he immediately added: "Of course, he can't compare with you. Although you have scored fewer goals than him, you have more assists than him!"

Messi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not jealous of him. Let's go, we should go back to the locker room."

"it is good."

"However, Xiaofa, which club does he belong to?"

"Looks like Queens Park Rangers, the Premier League team. That's what Robin told me."
