Chapter 99 Interview before the World Cup
Li Qi's goal in the 85th minute completely killed the game and extended Barcelona's lead to 3-0.
Although Eto'o felt a little regretful, he also knew that it was not his teammates' fault, as everyone had tried their best to help him; he was also happy for Li Qi's goal, as this young man was very cute and sensible, and was very much liked by his teammates.
In the following minutes of the game, the Spaniards did not give up and tried hard to score a face-saving goal, and even had a small climax in the stoppage time.
In the 91st minute, Costa made a cross from a 45-degree angle, and Tamudo headed the ball from 10 yards in front of the goal, but it was bravely saved by Holkera and then cleared by Puyol.
Then in the 92nd minute, the Spaniards made a comeback. Domi sent a straight pass from the front of the penalty area, and Pandiani successfully made an offside, but the Uruguayan's half-volley shot from the edge of the penalty area was saved by Jorquera...
Then Jarque's follow-up shot was blocked by Puyol again, and finally Tamudo and Pandiani's shots in the penalty area were magically saved by Jorquera twice...
Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Spain's five lightning attacks in the last moments were all blocked by the god-like Jorquera!
Barcelona defeated their city rivals Espanyol 3-0!
The most regrettable thing is that he didn't score a goal, and Eto'o was about to be tied by Villa in the goal list.
The happiest person is naturally the best player of the game, Ricardo Richie, who won the best player of the game for the first time this season!
When the Italian national team was about to announce its roster for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he put on a brilliant performance with one pass and one goal in the first half, which definitely earned him points in the eyes of the coaching staff, media and fans!
In addition, the Barcelona fans and other players were also happy about this game...
The shouts of "Champions, we are champions" never stopped from the opening whistle, and this boiling atmosphere of nearly 100 degrees reached its climax after the game.
Captain Puyol received the pure silver championship trophy from Football Association President Villa.
Barcelona has won the La Liga title five times in the past 12 years. As per convention, this trophy, which symbolizes honor and history, will also be permanently collected by the Nou Camp.
Then, all the players came to the center of the field to thank the Barcelona fans for their support and took photos. The Camp Nou also began to replay the wonderful goals scored by Barcelona in the past season.
Afterwards, the Catalan band "Els Gossos" sang the Barcelona team song, and the players had a water fight with champagne on the field.
Ricardo, who is severely allergic to alcohol, fled immediately after the group photo was taken. He didn't even have time to say a few words in the mixed zone interview after the game, because Eto'o found champagne. He could only hurriedly leave a message: "Thank you brothers... Wow! I'm hiding!"
After the brief celebration, Camp Nou set off brilliant fireworks, and it was another sleepless night... On Sunday morning, local time, Barcelona will also take a bus to tour the city of Barcelona. After this event, the whole team will return to combat readiness, and they have only one goal: to win the Champions League in Paris on May 5.
After the Barcelona tour, Ricardo and Chiara had a little affection before sending the little fairy to the airport to return to Milan. At the same time, they met the filming crew of Gazzetta dello Sport, as well as Raiola and Pimenta at the airport.
After the reunion, the group went straight to the Barcelona club base, and then, accompanied by Raiola and Pimenta, Ricardo accepted an exclusive interview with the Italian national sports channel "SportItaliaTV" at the club base.
For this interview, Raiola has reported to the club and Rijkaard and obtained permission.
The person who came to interview Ricardo was a beautiful lady with proud pectoral muscles. Her name seemed to be Michelle. She also claimed to be a fan of Ricardo. Ricardo hadn't even remembered her name yet, but he became her fan almost without blinking, and they quickly followed each other...
Fortunately, Pimenta came over and blocked Ricardo's gaze, then gently reminded him to get ready. Ricardo suddenly came to his senses and shifted his gaze from the collar of Michelle's dark green tight suit. He regained his calm and rationality, and the interview began.
After skipping Michelle's opening praise of Barcelona and Ricardo's personal achievements, the content of the interview mainly focused on the following five items, which were obviously carefully rehearsed, or at least reviewed.
1. Praise the head coach and coaching staff of the Italian national team:
"I like Barcelona, but whenever I return to the national team, it always feels great. Since Lippi and the coaching team took office, the atmosphere in the team has been very good, the training is very happy, the tactics are great, and the cooperation is tacit. If we continue like this, we will not have any problems..."
2. Support the Italian national team:
"Playing for your country is a sacred thing. Wearing the jersey of your country is the best thing in the world. When you hear the national anthem and see the fans wearing that sacred shirt, it is really a unique feeling."
3. Praise national team teammates:
"The brothers currently on the national team are my role models and idols. I grew up watching them play football. They are Totti, Vieri, Del Piero, Totti, Pirlo, Nesta and Buffon... They always play fantastic football. If I could play in the World Cup with them, even for just one minute, it would be a wonderful moment."
4. World Cup Dream:
"I really came into contact with and fell in love with football in the summer of 1994. Yes, we made it to the final, but unfortunately lost on penalties... Over the years, I have always wanted to help the national team return to the top of the world. That is my dream and my pursuit, and I am willing to pay any price for it."
5. Ricardo is a good boy:
"Yes, this season, the head coach has arranged many different positions for me both in the club and the national team. I know my abilities and hope I can help the team. No matter what position or role I play, as long as the team needs me and the head coach arranges it, I will go all out to help the brothers on the team win the game..."
……
After filming the club's training, they filmed some of Ricardo's apartment life after dinner... In the evening, the filming team came out of Ricardo's apartment, the interview was over, and everyone was very satisfied.
Raiola and Pimenta were very satisfied with the content of the interview - Ricardo is indeed a top student, his answers were natural and fluent, and his expressions were accurate and interesting.
The interview team of "SportItaliaTV" was also very satisfied with the recording results. Even Michelle wanted to stay overnight. Oh no, she wanted to stay in Ricardo's apartment to learn more about why Ricardo can play such a great football...
Unfortunately, there were too many onlookers, and Michelle was too embarrassed to speak. Anyway, she had already exchanged contact information with a scumbag, so there would be opportunities in the future. She could only stay in the hotel tonight and agreed to go to the University of Barcelona early the next morning to film some clips of Ricardo's study and life.
Riccardo was also very satisfied. The basic content was covered in one go. The total interview time, including the time for meals, only took about 4 hours. After filming the school life segment tomorrow, the interview team will return to Italy and plan to broadcast this interview on Tuesday night. The relevant print media will carry out text and photo reports after Wednesday.
When they returned to school for filming the next day, the private lessons had already shocked the interview team. They didn't expect that Ricardo was so self-disciplined in his life and also had a special private training team for extra training.
Coach Lopez also provided the results of Ricardo's private training at the beginning and present of this season, including obvious improvements in flexibility, jumping, core strength and heading.
However, just as the interview team was preparing to pack up and retreat, Ricardo received a huge piece of good news.
Professor Almiron officially informed Ricardo that the paper they jointly wrote has been confirmed to be included and published by the SCI "Science Citation Index", and it should be officially released in mid-June after the manuscript is proofread!
This time, Ricardo inadvertently put a large oil pen in front of the interview team. Michelle looked at Ricardo with a somewhat naked look, and it felt like she was just about to ask for an injection of a high-quality DNA sample...
"Hehehe... what luck, what luck... no wonder the professor told me last week that there was good news and asked me to go back to school. Luckily I was lazy and scheduled it for today along with the filming..." Ricardo scratched his head and grinned foolishly. He didn't consider at all whether it would become a big joke in front of the interview team and fans all over the world if it turned out to be a tragedy. But there was no need to be afraid, as he could still edit it later.
……
After seeing off the interview team and Raiola's team, Ricardo quietly returned to his daily training and preparation life. After all, there are still two La Liga games and a Champions League final.
今天里卡多也是正式收到俱乐部的通知，之前因为大雨延迟的客战塞维利亚的补赛将在5月13日即本周六晚上进行，然后西甲最后一轮客场对阵毕尔巴鄂的比赛将在5月20日举行，也就是将在5月18日欧冠决赛之后。
According to FIFA's requirements, if Ricardo is successfully selected into the Italian national team's 23-man squad for the World Cup, after participating in the Champions League final on May 5, Ricardo will no longer be able to participate in the La Liga.
So the next away game against Sevilla is likely to be Ricardo's final game in La Liga this season. Ricardo was thinking, should he take the initiative to ask his boss to express his positive attitude?
Then Rijkaard readily agreed to Ricardo's request, and Ricardo learned in advance that he would definitely start in the next round of the league, and his position would be a central defender...
(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
Ricardo could only accept it silently, but in his heart he was flipping the table: "Damn, I'm not a central defender..."
……
This weekend, they will play away against Sevilla, and Chiara will miss the match against Barcelona due to her aunt's holiday. So, Ricardo, who has seen the Italian media intensively praising a talented player who plays for Barcelona in recent days, is holding back his energy and wants to vent it in the game this weekend. No, he wants to show his strength. However, the position of central defender is not a position that requires too much running...
2006年5月13日22时，在塞维利亚的主场进行西班牙足球甲级联赛第34轮的补赛。
Sevilla beat Middlesbrough 4-0 in the middle of the week and won the UEFA Cup this season, so coach Juande replaced 8 players in the starting lineup.
As for Barcelona, in order to prepare for the Champions League final next week, Rijkaard continued to keep several main players such as Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco on the bench. Some marginal players and several second-tier players such as Rodri and Ludovic got the chance to be included in the game roster.
Before the game started, Barcelona players stood in two rows in the player tunnel to congratulate Sevilla on winning the UEFA Cup.
Barcelona's starting lineup for this game is 4-3-3.
The goalkeeper is No. 25 Holkera.
The back line from left to right is No. 16 Sylvinho, No. 23 Oleguer, No. 66 Li Qi, and No. 2 Belletti;
The midfield combination is No. 18 Gabriel, No. 3 Motta and No. 6 Xavi;
The forward line is No. 7 Larsson, No. 14 Esquillo and No. 11 Maxi Lopez.
As they still have to strive for qualification for the Champions League next season, Sevilla fought hard after the opening even though only half of their lineup was subbed.
On the contrary, Barcelona, which had already won the league title, played without any desire, and some of the first-team players tried their best to avoid injuries.
So it looked like Barcelona had the upper hand in ball possession, but in fact Sevilla's attack was more threatening.
At this point, Li Qi felt a bit overwhelmed. His partner was a well-known ball-leaking king, and the three-man combination in the midfield was new. Moreover, Motta and Xavi had just recovered from long-term injuries and were in average condition. The other Gabriel was a substitute ranked lower than himself, and had played for more than 300 minutes in the entire season...
In addition, today's forward line only wanted to move forward. Except for veteran Larsson who would often retreat to receive the ball, the remaining two perennial substitutes were only focused on scoring a goal. They basically wanted to rush as soon as they got the ball, completely ignoring the rhythm and offensive and defensive situation on the field.
So the midfield was obviously unable to defend against Sevilla's sudden attack and quick penetration, or it could be said that they didn't even want to defend against it; this time, Barcelona's defense was in trouble...
In the 7th minute, Sevilla created the first threatening attack on the field. Copa headed the ball over Oleger, and Kanoute forced a low shot with his right foot from 15 yards on the right side of the penalty area under the interference of Li Qi. The ball did not have enough power and was confiscated by Holkera.
In the 11th minute, Barcelona returned the favor. Maxi Lopez and Larsson played a clever wall pass, and the Argentine shot from 10 yards in front of the goal, but the angle was too straight and was beautifully saved by Palop.
However, Sevilla broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute of the game with the cheers of the fans.
Alves and Renato performed a wall-to-wall cooperation on the right. The former saw that the defensive midfielder was not defending him, so he took a long shot from 25 yards on the right!
The ball passed through the ear of Li Qi who was about to step forward to defend like a sharp arrow, and went straight into the upper right corner of the goal, a near world wave!
Holkera had no way to deal with this ball, and Li Qi also had no way to deal with this ball. Gabri and Motta pressed too high, causing the defensive midfielder to lose his position...
Li Qi was a little helpless. As the starting central defender, he wanted to perform well, but he didn't expect to lose the ball so soon. It was really unlucky.
But even more unfortunate times are about to come...
