Cristiano sneaked back to Manchester with a portrait of Messi drawn by a street artist, and Messi sneaked back to Barcelona with a portrait of Ronaldo.

Messi faced the Champions League quarter-finals shortly after returning to Barcelona, ​​and the most amazing part of this story is that he faced Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.

"All tactics have weaknesses. Mourinho certainly has them too," Puyol said after his last training session before the game. "Did you talk about it when you were at Porto?"

The last half of his sentence was addressed to Deco.

"We discussed some things in private, including the assistant coach and other people in the team at the time, who basically believed that Mr. Mourinho's tactics were most worried about quick balls and extremely fast forwards-high pressing would lead to few people in the backcourt, It's difficult when you have very fast strikers," said Deco.

He didn't mention the "fear of strikers like Cristiano" he once said to Leo. He felt that it was not good to mention the advantages of irrelevant people in the Barcelona dressing room.

However, "fast speed" can be regarded as an important threat to Mourinho from Cristiano.

Deco didn't give more details, but even Puyol would not criticize him for anything. After all, generally speaking, people talking about their team's tactical shortcomings will not be specific to every pass and reception.

Leo sat in the corner and listened, saying nothing.

——against Chelsea, that was the first time Leo met Mourinho face to face.

Mourinho is a person who stands out at first glance but is very eye-catching - he is not very tall, nor is he strong, and he is neither handsome nor ugly enough to be impressive .But I can't tell whether it's the eyes or the eyebrows, but it seems that his whole body has become sharp, like a stubborn stone that makes people feel untouchable at a glance, and will be pierced by sharp edges and corners when touched.

He's not like Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is a tree that grows crazily every day in order to shade everything, but Mourinho is an iceberg that stands up day after day and blocks all victories.

Ronaldo pursues his own victory, and Mourinho pursues to prevent everyone except himself from winning.

Mourinho noticed that someone was looking at him, and when he looked back, he found Leo who continued to look at him without hesitation.

——He noticed this young man when he was preparing for the game.This boy is a newcomer promoted by Barcelona last year, and he is widely acclaimed and valued.

That boy was the complete opposite of Ronaldo, he looked gentle but Mourinho guessed he was actually very cold.He is not gentle to everyone because he is peaceful, he is always calm just because he doesn't care about anyone.

Indifference is the foundation of this boy.

Mourinho didn't look at Messi again, even though he knew the extent to which this little Messi was a young genius.

——Camp Nou, Barcelona kick-off first.

Chelsea did not regard Barcelona as an opponent who was too special, they did not design too special tactics for them-but this is right, after all, even if they only maintained their own style, Barcelona did not take advantage of it.

Leo quickly felt Chelsea's style, and they let Leo's first touch of the game not go well.

The ball from Deco has just reached his feet. Before he can stop the ball, three Chelsea players rushed over. One squeezed away Leo and snatched the ball from his feet and passed it to the midfield.

Leo frowned, but he didn't make any other emotional moves.

Barcelona were outnumbered in their own half and Chelsea lobbed the ball straight to the striker from midfield - but Barcelona's defense was not stupid, they grabbed the ball high above the baseline.

The ball still belongs to Chelsea.

Chelsea's way of opening the gap is different from others. They use the width of the field, and repeatedly use the width of the field to find opportunities while compressing the distance between several lines.

Chelsea got very little space in the penalty area, and they again passed the ball diagonally to the midfielder, the midfielder knocked across, and the central defender immediately passed the ball into the penalty area.

Chelsea's center forward is tall.

The ball finally returned to Barcelona's feet again.

Puyol may also be worried about Chelsea's pressing, so he quickly gave the ball to Deco-Deco is an old acquaintance of Mourinho. Although Chelsea did not completely copy Mourinho's style of play in Porto, but in the end The basic criteria and requirements are similar.

So Deco didn't even stop the ball and immediately played it to Xavi who was waiting for the ball - this ball was not perfect.Passing the ball immediately without stopping the ball adjustment, the focus is not good, and the ball is a bit off.But after personally experiencing this period of pressing, since Harvey can catch the ball, there is nothing to complain about. After all, during the few seconds when he tried to stop the ball and adjust, several Chelsea players had four or five legs. It stretched out in all directions.

Chelsea steal the ball again.

Iniesta kept up with the steal, but the opponent's response was very fast, and it was difficult for Iniesta to steal the ball with his own strength.

Chelsea's ball was passed to the front again, and this time it was Leo who stepped forward to steal the ball.

Chelsea's response was always timely. Just as Leo stepped forward, two Chelsea players reached the correct position to catch the ball-but Leo did not fear or avoid physical confrontation like many young people. On the contrary, he He took the initiative to greet the winger who went up and squeezed Chelsea to meet him.

Leo has focused on strength training, but no matter how hard he trains, he still can't match the strength of a well-developed player in his prime in his 20s.

But fortunately, Deco at this time, Fuzhixin, caught up to help him attract attention and snatch the opponent.

——Mourinho looked at Deco. He knew very well that Deco was actually implementing his own tactical habits instead of Rijkaard's from the moment he caught up, but he didn't say anything.

Leo didn't pay attention to who came to help him with all this, but it did make him feel a lot easier when it happened.

He focused more on what he had to do.

A Chelsea player tries to swing past Leo.

——He is not as good as Ronaldo. Ronaldo has no flaws in his body when he is riding a bicycle.But the swaying of this person showed his feet in the movement of his shoulders.

Leo judged the right direction and quickly poked the ball—perhaps because he was worried that the opponent would counterattack on the spot. Leo didn't stop the ball or make any adjustments under his feet, and directly found Deco with one kick.

When Deco catches the ball, the whole angle is comfortable. He can immediately pass the high ball to Ronaldinho who is waiting in the front court without stopping the ball.

Ronaldinho was about to head the goal, but the goalkeeper reacted quickly and struck out in time to take the ball directly.

—Mourinho frowned at the young boy surnamed Messi.

The biggest problem with fast balls and non-stop ball adjustments is that this approach is prone to mistakes. Conversely, if there is a person who can quickly play the ball, non-stop ball adjustments and at the same time ensure the quality of the pass, then he is tantamount to mastering the ball. Mourinho's biggest flaw.From the current point of view, Messi is one of the Barcelona players who can catch Mourinho's flaws.

Both Ronaldo and Messi proved to everyone how individual ability can defeat the whole.

But Mourinho was furious when facing Ronaldo, but he just stood there calmly when facing Messi.

——Maybe Deco also realized the same problem as Mourinho, and he also realized that Leo might be the "method" to break Mourinho's press, so in the next half an hour, Deco Coe will try his best to give the ball to Leo whenever he has the opportunity to get the ball.

No.404 minutes that time is no exception.

The Deco midfielder gets the ball and despite being uncomfortable on the ground, passes it to Leo.

Leo wasn't comfortable receiving the ball, but he was well aware that he couldn't stop the ball—stopping the ball meant being tackled.

Leo found the only gap between the four or five stretched out legs and poked the ball out from the gap between the two, and then took advantage of the moment when the opposing player was at a loss Dodged through the crowd and broke through with the ball.

And when he broke through the encirclement, there was a very good passage in front of him.

——"Can you still be so extraordinary?" Chelsea's assistant coach couldn't help muttering on the bench.

That's when Ronaldinho was in the best position imaginable - Leo caught sight of the jersey that marked his partner's status and then slid it straight to Ronaldinho Dinho.

It was a near-perfect one-shot, and Ronaldinho's shot turned "almost perfect" into "perfect".

1: 0.

Barcelona lead Chelsea at half-time at Camp Nou.

Leo didn't know why he did this, but he didn't celebrate with his teammates immediately at this time, but turned his head and looked at Mourinho intently.

He thought Mourinho would be as furious as he was against Ronaldo and Manchester United.

But Mourinho didn't, he just looked at the Barcelona players celebrating in the middle of the pitch and then looked back when he felt someone was watching him.

He looked at Leo, and Leo looked at him.

Then Mourinho smiled and shook his head at Leo.
