Chapter 600

"As fans, we only hope that every star can work hard for Barcelona on and off the field. At least you are our player, you are a professional football player, so you need to have professionalism."

"But looking at his previous performance, he wasted too many opportunities. I'm not picking on him. Some of these opportunities were really ones I could have scored even if I had gone up there. Messi had already passed the ball to a position that couldn't be more comfortable, and he was able to kick it away."

"So Ousmane Dembélé, if you have the guts, use this Champions League semi-final to slap me in the face, make me apologize for your outstanding performance, and make me responsible for these remarks."

Barcelona fans obviously want to use provocation, hoping that Ousmane Dembele can be reborn from the ashes in this Champions League semi-final.

At this time, at Ousmane Dembélé's home, Suarez was sitting next to Ousmane Dembélé.

"Messi and I won't go home tonight. We'll drive you to the training base tomorrow morning!"

Ousmane Dembélé looked at the game controller that Messi had put into the cabinet not far away, and he felt helpless. It seemed that he would not be able to enjoy the fun of the game today.

Barcelona's overall strength is still very strong, but Busquets' form has gradually declined, the combination of Lenglet and Pique is not too stable, Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele have performed well in the frontcourt, but they are not stable enough.

Along the way, Barcelona relied heavily on the cooperation of the front line and Ter Stegen's outstanding performance.

Compared to Liverpool, which has better overall performance and outstanding strength, the positions of the two teams have been swapped compared to last season, and Liverpool has become the side with greater hope of advancing.

On April 4, Liverpool prepared for the Champions League and had their last training session before the semi-final.

"Our offensive target must be Lenglet. He has been in poor form recently and is particularly prone to missing people!"

"So Firmino, show me how good your attacking runs are."

“As for the midfield, they want to play control because their running ability can no longer keep up with the high tempo.”

"So we don't play control with them, we use running to involve Busquets and attack Rakitic!"

"The defense at the back should focus on Suarez. We should actively give Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele space to get the ball on the wing, and at the same time prevent Coutinho from cutting inside and prevent Ousmane Dembele from accelerating in a straight line."

"Some of you have played with Coutinho and you know how he likes to attack."

"His long-range shots and the way he passes the ball with his right foot are things we need to look at."

The defensive tactics arranged by Zabia were completely centered around the characteristics of Barcelona players, and Zabia was very smart. He let the Liverpool defenders leave more opportunities for Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.

This may be a bit risky, but Barcelona now likes to play 442, with Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele, Messi and Suarez. Compared with Messi and Suarez, leaving space for the other two is obviously more beneficial to Liverpool.

Lin Chen felt that time passed very quickly. He did not expect that he would have another winning moment. The much anticipated Champions League semi-final was here!

Scholes, Gullit, and Ashley Cole who took leave due to a cold. Ashley Cole originally didn't want to take leave, but Gullit warned him with a clenched fist.

"If you dare to pass your cold on to me, I'll punch you in the chest with my little fist!"

Looking at Gullit's so-called little punch, Ashley Cole finally decided to take a leave of absence.

May 5nd, Liverpool's home ground, the holy place of Merseyside.

The live broadcast room was playing Lin Chen’s answers in a pre-match interview.

“Old Busquets?”

"I don't like this title. Every player who works hard on the field deserves respect, especially Busquets."

"He was my team-mate in Spain and I won the World Cup with him, so I recognise him."

"Every star will go through different periods. I hope everyone can always remember Busquets."

"Besides, is he playing badly now? I think he is still a stalwart."

Lin Chen spoke for his teammate Busquets.

In the player tunnel before the game, Lin Chen was chatting with Busquets, and Ousmane Dembélé was standing next to Lin Chen.

The starting lineups for the first round of this semi-final have begun to appear in major live broadcast rooms.

"Barcelona's starting goalkeeper for this game is still Ter Stegen. Left back Alba, right back Semedo, center back Pique and Lenglet."

"Busquets and Rakitic in the midfield, Coutinho on the left and Ousmane Dembele on the right."

"The two strikers are Messi and Suarez."

"Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson continues to hold his starting position, with Robertson and Joe Gomez as full-backs, and Van Dijk and Matip as central defenders."

"The midfield is Rodri, Henderson and Lin Chen, Mane is on the left, Salah is on the right, and Firmino is in the middle."

As soon as both sides stepped onto the field, Liverpool fans began to applaud wildly. They really hope to see the team continue to win the Champions League!

With Suarez kicking off, the game officially begins!

The game just started and Barcelona got a good chance!

"Liverpool's defense in this game gave Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele a lot of space."

"Alba made a straight pass, Coutinho received the ball, dribbled and turned, and Gomez was passed!"

"Look to the right!"

“The back point is actually quite empty!”

"Pass it to the back post, here comes Ousmane Dembélé!"

Ousmane Dembélé's talent for speed is still obvious, he runs about half a body length faster than Robertson.

Suarez tried first but he missed the ball and Van Dijk failed to clear it.

Coutinho's pass came with great power!

Ousmane Dembele basically got rid of Robertson at the back post and chose to shoot hard towards Coutinho's pass!

Gullit yelled!
