Chapter 349 The Raptor Crosses the River
Barcelona, who have one game less to play, and Liverpool, who have one game less to play, both won the league championship in advance over the weekend. In addition to the King's Cup championship and League Cup championship they won respectively, the two teams are now the domestic double champions, so next time The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals at Camp Nou in midweek featured more stunts.
Whether the new Premier League champions Liverpool and the Raptors will cross the river to complete an epic turn, or whether the new La Liga champions Barcelona will attack strongly to defend their dignity, the answer will not be revealed until the end of the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals at Camp Nou in the middle of next week.
The Barcelona players who won the domestic double championship felt a little relaxed. The recovery training at the Vilanova training ground was very obvious. Head coach Valverde saw it and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This... ...not a good attitude.
However, thinking about Barcelona's 3-0 win over Liverpool as a guest at Camp Nou, the stadium with the largest number of fans in Europe, he did not believe that Liverpool would achieve a huge comeback in such a devilish home stadium.
Messi and Suarez were also aware of the wrong attitude of their teammates. The former was reminded by his friend Aguero and his sixth sense, and the latter was very familiar with the Red Army's tradition, but neither Messi nor Suarez knew how. Remind your teammates.
We are all adults, and unless we have a particularly good relationship with teammates, we really don’t know how to speak.
Like Valverde, Messi and Suarez feel that a three-goal victory is on the road rather than at home, which basically means advancing to the Champions League finals this season.
To put it another way, if Liverpool is showing off its power on the road, then he will not help the team score goals when he is at home?
While Liverpool strengthens its offense, there will definitely be loopholes in its defense. When the time comes... it will be the opportunity to kill the game!
The second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Liverpool was played on the first match day of the Champions League. The entire Liverpool team arrived at Barcelona Airport at 2 pm on Monday and took a short rest before heading to the Camp Nou to adapt to the venue.
Camp Nou is larger than every stadium Li Qing has participated in in the past. It is currently the only professional football stadium in Europe that can accommodate more than 100,000 fans, and can accommodate a total of 109,815 people.
"Camp Nou is so big!"
Li Qing looked around the entire Camp Nou stadium and blurted out: "How shocking would it be if it were full tomorrow night?"
"Hey~ you have to ask me this."
Milner, who heard Li Qing speak, turned his shoulders and said to Li Qing.
"Yes~"
Li Qing then remembered that Milner once represented Manchester City in the Nou Camp, and asked curiously: "James, how do you feel?"
"very nervous!"
"very nervous?"
Li Qing, who was standing on the court looking towards the audience, closed his eyes and simulated the scene of a hundred thousand fans shouting in his mind. His pupils shrank slightly. He felt that the emotion was not called nervousness, but... called excitement!
"Lee, what are you excited about?"
Arnold asked curiously.
"Aren't you excited to beat Barcelona with a big score in this stadium?"
Li Qing asked rhetorically.
Arnold: "..."
Although the team was full of confidence in the away game before leaving for Barcelona, it was more like a slogan, and they felt somewhat lacking in confidence. After all, this stadium is Camp Nou, not Anfield.
"You don't have confidence?"
Li Qing glanced at Arnold who felt guilty.
"How is that possible? I plan to give you an assist in this stadium!"
Arnold held his head high and said confidently.
"If you don't give me an assist, watch how I beat you."
As he spoke, Li Qing clenched his right fist as big as a sandbag.
The conversation between Li Qing and Arnold ended as the warm-up began. Mane ran to Li Qing's right and frowned: "Li, are you really confident?"
"Why not?"
Li Qing turned to look at Ma Nei and asked.
"Too……"
The adaptation to the venue lasted about an hour, and the Liverpool players gradually became a little familiar with the stadium. Head coach Klopp took captain Henderson to the Camp Nou press conference hall for a regular pre-match press conference. Assistant coach Buvac took the players back to their hotel.
As the Liverpool players walked towards the bus from the exit of the stadium, a large number of reporters were frightened with special cameras. Most of them were pointed at Li Qing. Li Qing, who was used to the flash life, was smiling, giving people a very relaxed feeling, and even more It's like going to Camp Nou for sightseeing rather than preparing for a Champions League semi-final second leg.
At the same time, a large number of Liverpool fans who came to Camp Nou in advance held up victory banners and slogans to express their support for the team's promotion in the away game.
Li Qing was very moved when he saw many fans holding up their huge posters, banners and slogans.
Before boarding the bus, Li Qing signed autographs and took photos with many fans. The female fan at the end asked: "Li, we will advance to the Champions League final at Camp Nou, right?"
Li Qing then looked at the beautiful female fan in front of him. She had blond hair and blue eyes, and was over 1.7 meters tall. When he was about to look down her neck, he thought of the miserable author, and suddenly he was in awe and nodded seriously: "Yes, definitely!"
As the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals gets closer and closer, Liverpool fans and Barcelona fans are getting more and more violent on social platforms, and even celebrities from the two teams can't help but join in.
Barcelona and Liverpool have met nine times in the European War, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses evenly divided, including 2 draws and 2 losses at home. This means that they have not won against Liverpool in the past four home games in the European War. In addition, Barcelona has played 34 home games in the past. Achieved 21 wins and 11 draws against English teams, and the only defeat was against Liverpool at home.
In the words of Liverpool legend Gerrard: "We are Barcelona's victims! Why can't we reverse the situation and advance?"
Gerrard's remarks are supported by the vast majority of Liverpool fans, who believe that Liverpool will continue to play the role of Barcelona's sufferer.
The data that is very beneficial to Liverpool is that they have advanced to the Champions League finals eight times out of the 10 times they have advanced to the Champions League semi-finals. They have also advanced eight times against Spanish teams in the European knockout rounds. As various historical data that are favorable to Liverpool have been revealed, , more and more Liverpool fans are beginning to believe that miracles are possible.
…
At 7:40 in the evening, Liverpool players entered the Nou Camp from the tunnel, and overwhelming boos instantly swept through the entire stadium.
"wuwuwuuuuuuuuu——"
The overwhelming boos poured down, making people feel as if a basin of cold water fell from the sky and drenched them, and they were immediately confused.
Li Qing was not affected in any way. He ran into the court calmly and prepared for the next game.
However, despite his calm appearance, Li Qing still felt quite shocked in his heart. He took a quick glance just now... the Camp Nou stadium seemed to be... full of seats.
So excited!
I really want to see the silence at Camp Nou...
