Chapter 702 Goal is coming!

Once again returning to White Hart Lane, Fabregas was filled with sadness.

He is very familiar with this stadium because he has played here for five years. In these five years, he has become the world's top midfield star and the focus of countless fans. .

He once thought about retiring here because he likes the fans here very much. They are very simple and fanatical, but returning to his hometown, putting on the Barcelona jersey and playing for Barcelona is what he has grown up with. His dream is what his whole family hopes for him.

It is often difficult for people to get the best of both worlds. Between Tottenham Hotspur, where he was trained, and Barcelona, ​​the love of his life, he can only choose one and give up the other. In the end, he chose Barcelona because he He knows that he is a Spaniard and a Catalan, and Barcelona is his only destination.

Another thing that many people don’t know is that when Fabregas decided to leave Barcelona for Chelsea, Guardiola’s opinions played a big role in promoting it. What Guardiola told him at the time was that he should play outside After returning to Barcelona after strength, it is difficult for Fabregas to refuse the invitation from Guardiola.

However, even so, his gratitude to Tottenham Hotspur and respect for Ye Qiu did not diminish at all. However, it was only after he joined Barcelona that he truly realized that it was not All teams are as simple and professional as Tottenham Hotspur.

At Tottenham Hotspur, players only need to concentrate on playing football. Professionals will handle your salary, commercial sponsorships, off-field life chores, etc., even if you appear unhappy. , there will also be a psychological counselor coming to chat with you, and that Fatty Luo who likes to be funny and funny.

But in Barcelona, ​​especially after Russell came to power, the team became very complicated and full of many contradictions and problems. For example, Barcelona missed Villa, which caused the Spanish international to switch to Liverpool, which made Guaranteed. Deora was very dissatisfied.

But soon, Russell announced an investigation into former chairman Laporta, believing that he had committed serious corruption during his tenure as chairman of Barcelona, ​​resulting in serious losses for the team. This was among the two major flag-type giants in La Liga. This is the first time, even after Calderon, the worst president of Real Madrid, stepped down, Florentino has never done such a thing.

Laporta found Guardiola. This unlucky man who wanted to switch to politics but was unable to make a difference, his life became torn to pieces, and once he faced an investigation of financial fraud, all his property might even be frozen, and he cried to Guardiola, and then The reporter was also grateful that Laporta gave him the opportunity to serve as the head coach, so he expressed his sympathy for Laporta in an interview, but this resulted in Russell's anger and dissatisfaction.

Cruyff then returned the title of honorary president of Barcelona and directly announced a split in the top management. Guardiola was undoubtedly on the side of his mentor, which also led to the delay in renewing his contract with Barcelona. Difficult to carry out.

Another very important contradiction is that the assistant coach, Vilanova, Barcelona's most popular head coach candidate next season, had cancer and had surgery. It was successful, but everyone was worried. The same goes for Abi. Dahl's tumor and the absence of the French left back have also made Barcelona's left wing a weakness.

If some things are just emergencies and do not have a great impact on the team, then the split in the management directly leads to conflicts within the team. At least many people are already dissatisfied with the current situation in Barcelona. For example, the team's number one center Robin van Persie has expressed his intention to leave the team.

Perhaps, many people are right. Catalans have very beautiful life values, that is, they rely on hard work to redeem their souls and dedicate everything to their work. This kind of value has made countless Catalans Nian people create and prove their own value in life.

But Catalans also have typical character flaws, that is, they are too sentimental and too fragile.

When Fabregas got off the Barcelona bus and saw the statue of a fighting cock with a football on top of the White Hart Lane stadium, he really felt regretful. He felt that playing for Barcelona was too stressful and that it was too It's complicated, but it's not as simple and simple as Tottenham Hotspur.

But, how can there be any regret in the world about taking medicine?

Furthermore, Fabregas's sentimentality was just an emotion that surged up in a moment. When he calmed down, it faded away and he no longer felt there was any problem.

After all, Barcelona is where he truly belongs, isn't it?

After calming down, Fabregas had another worry. When Tottenham Hotspur fans saw him, would they take revenge on him like Barcelona fans threw pig heads at Figo? What kind of attitude will Tottenham Hotspur teammates have when they see him? What's more, how will he treat this player who has left the team?

Fabregas' worries lasted for a long time. From the moment he walked into the visiting team's locker room, changed his clothes, and then walked out of the locker room and the tunnel to prepare to go on the field for warm-up, he felt uneasy. put it down.

Many Tottenham Hotspur fans were shouting Cesc Fabregas's name, shouting Van Persie's name, shouting Mascherano's name, and some fans even printed their images in the stands. , to show that Tottenham Hotspur has not forgotten these three players who once played for Tottenham Hotspur.

All three also raised their hands and applauded the fans in the stands to thank the fans for their love and support.

"Hi Cesc!"

Fabregas had just walked out of the tunnel. What he didn't expect was that Ye Qiu was nearby. He had just been chatting with Guardiola. As soon as he saw Fabregas, he took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

"Hello, boss!" Fabregas blurted out, unable to change his words for a moment, and then glanced at Guardiola anxiously. The latter also smiled and obviously did not take this sentence to heart.

"Work hard, but don't expect to defeat us!" Ye Qiu joked.

"Hi, Robin!" Before Cesc Fabregas could react, Ye Qiu high-fived Robin Van Persie, the Batman who came over with a smile. The relationship between the Dutchman and Ye Qiu became even closer. They were in constant contact. He belonged to that group. A player with a more outgoing personality.

"Boss, I have a feeling that I can score goals today, and I can score a lot of them!" Van Persie challenged with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, you have scored twice in a row recently!" Ye Qiu also responded with a smile, but soon the conversation changed, "But you can only play with Getafe in Zaragoza. Those teams are acting wildly, do you think the Volkswagen Polo can compete with the Bugatti Veyron?”

For some reason, Ye Qiu thought of Roland Shepas' red Volkswagen POLO.

"I'll prove it to you!" Van Persie pointed at Ye Qiu with a smile.

"Javier!" Ye Qiu didn't refute, noticing Mascherano standing next to Van Persie, "I told Cavani to stare at your head and hit you, you'd better be careful! "After saying that, he laughed and said as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

Mascherano's expression was a little cold at first, but after hearing Ye Qiu's words, he laughed, "I'm not afraid of him!"

After sending away several players, Ye Qiu turned around and noticed that Guardiola was also smiling, a little embarrassed, getting close to his players in front of his head coach, especially in such an important game, Ye Qiu I'm thinking, have I gone a little too far?

"To be honest, I admire you very much. At least your relationship with these players is still so good even now." Guardiola's words contained sighs and helplessness.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head, "Actually, it's nothing. I've always felt that the relationship between players and head coaches is not only a kind of cooperation, but it's also a kind of coexistence. It can't just be about interests, but it can't be just about interests. Relying solely on emotions, the head coach should not be too involved in the players, but he should not be too disengaged. There needs to be a balance here!"

After Guardiola heard this, he felt very enlightened and experienced. He was just too involved and was good friends with many players, which resulted in many of his tasks being unable to be promoted in the club.

The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is human relationships!

And once you get entangled with this kind of thing, it's difficult to get rid of it, so Guardiola decided not to renew his contract, leave Barcelona, ​​and leave these human whirlpools, so that he can relieve the pressure and go into battle lightly.

Sometimes Ye Qiu is thinking about another problem. The whole world is scolding Moratti and saying that he is emotional, but in fact, the people who are in it are the ones who suffer the most. Just like Moratti, he knows the football very well. What the team should do is the right choice and the right thing to do, but he also has a good-natured character and doesn't want to offend anyone, which leads to the current situation of Inter Milan.

No wonder some people say that Moratti is the best boss in the world, but the worst operator.

"No matter what, Peipei, I will definitely win this game!" Ye Qiu said confidently.

Pepe, this is the nickname given to Guardiola by good friends.

"Me too!" Guardiola replied forcefully, but there was no energy or passion on his face. There was only a sense of exhaustion and helplessness. He no longer coached the team. The spirit of the first season was great.

As Ferguson once said, coaching top clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid is undoubtedly very, very difficult in the first season, but every season thereafter, the difficulty continues to rise, becoming more and more difficult, and becoming more and more difficult. The harder it is, the more stress will eat you up in the end.

Therefore, teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid will never produce Ferguson, never!

Because in such a team, the head coach will always be a supporting role, and the team and chairman are the protagonists.

"Viewers, welcome to the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2011-2012 season. We are now broadcasting it live at Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane in London."

"The two teams faced in this game can be said to be the two most powerful and influential teams in today's football. They are the Premier League hegemon Tottenham Hotspur, and the traditional giant Barcelona of La Liga!"

"There is no doubt that this will be a very exciting game because Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona are both teams that focus on offense but not defense, and these two teams are currently the most powerful attacking teams in Europe. Team, Tottenham Hotspur ranks first in Europe in terms of goals scored, Barcelona is third, and second is Real Madrid, another giant team from La Liga.”

"This game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both sides have also been announced."

"Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home, still used the 433 tactic that Ye Qiu is best at. The goalkeeper is Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, and the defense is Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves, who is also Tottenham Hotspur’s main defense this season, has performed well in both the Premier League and the Champions League.”

"The midfield is the iron triangle of Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal. We have all noticed that this season Tottenham Hotspur's midfield is working very well and performing very well, and the frontcourt The trident is star-studded, with Ribery, Cavani and Messi.”

"Tottenham Hotspur will use all their main players in this game, and many pre-match comments said that Tottenham Hotspur will try to defeat their opponents in one fell swoop in the home game. In addition to paying attention to the top superstar Mei In addition to West and Ribery, I personally think Cavani is also a player that Barcelona needs to be careful about.”

"Cavani is a player who not only has height, but also has the strength to fight, and is also good with his feet. More importantly, he can not only score by himself, but is also very good at disrupting the opponent's defense. This can make Tottenham hot. Spurs played very well behind Messi, Ribery, Vidal and Ramsey, so the tactical value is very great!”

"Barcelona is also fully staffed. The goalkeeper is Valdes, the defense is Adriano, Mascherano, Pique and Puyol, and the three midfielders are Iniesta and Busque. Ci and Xavi, and the front three is Sanchez, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas!”

"It is worth noting that in Barcelona's starting lineup for this game, Mascherano, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas are all players from Tottenham Hotspur. They are all very familiar with this team. Cruyff said before the game that if Barcelona makes good use of this, it will not be difficult to win away from home. "

"But when Ye Qiu refuted Cruyff, he said that these players are familiar with the previous Tottenham Hotspur, but this season's Tottenham Hotspur is very different from before, so he not only He is not worried about being seen through by the opponent at all. On the contrary, he feels that his familiarity with these players can help Tottenham defeat the opponent. "

"The war of words between the two sides before the game was very loud. Fans all over the world are paying attention to this focus battle, and we all know that this game will not disappoint the fans who are waiting for it!"

Following the analysis of the on-site commentator, the players of the two teams slowly walked out of the player tunnel under the leadership of the referee. The two sides lined up in front of the White Hart Lane fans, and then began a series of pre-match routines, and then During the guess, Barcelona won the right to serve, with Fabregas and Robin van Persie standing in the center circle.

"Fabregas used to play in an advanced midfield position at Tottenham Hotspur, but after coming to Barcelona, ​​he was promoted to the frontcourt by Guardiola as the team's main attacker, and his performance was still the same. very nice."

"The chief referee is checking the time with the fourth official on the sidelines. The game is about to start!"

With the referee's whistle, this much-anticipated battle finally started.

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona knocked the ball back, and the players in the frontcourt quickly intervened. Xavi passed the ball diagonally in the midfield, trying to find Sanchez, but Marcelo was stubborn. He blocked Sanchez with his body and let the ball go out of the baseline.

"Tottenham Hotspur are very stable, and Marcelo's defense is also very experienced. It only took ten seconds to help Tottenham Hotspur regain possession of the ball. Barcelona's start was a bit impatient. We all know that, Both teams attach great importance to possession of the ball, and the ball was given to Tottenham in less than ten seconds. It seemed that Barcelona was still a little anxious at the start."

Tottenham Hotspur soon issued a throw-in. Marcelo threw the ball to Ribery who came back from the front. The latter directly hooked it with his foot and hooked it to Ramsey. The Welshman kept the ball. He pushed directly, and Pirlo, who was receiving the ball from behind, pushed again and sent it to the right, giving it to Alves.

"Tottenham Hotspur passed the ball very quickly and continuously. The ball came to the right. Soon, it directly broke through Barcelona's intensive defense and pressure. This is also a highlight of the game. Watch Tottenham Hotspur. Whether he can use his off-the-ball movement and skillful one-touch passing and catching to open up Barcelona's holes, as many people have said."

But when Alves got the ball on the right, Barcelona was obviously pressing very tight and high. Alves tried to pass it to Messi, but the Argentine hit back to Vidal, who then hit back to Tito behind him. Thiago Silva, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas were all harassing the defense, and Thiago Silva had to knock back to goalkeeper Petr Cech.

"Barcelona pressed very tight, and it seems Guardiola still intends to use his best high-position defense and high-intensity pressing to contain Tottenham Hotspur."

Kompany saw that Thiago Silva was disturbed, and immediately distanced himself from his teammates. Just as the two central defenders pulled away, Pirlo ran back from the midfield and took the initiative to receive Cech's pass.

As soon as Pirlo got the ball, he turned around immediately. He almost didn't even need to look. At the moment of turning around, he opened his hands slightly, swung his right foot and made a diagonal pass directly.

The ball passed through a beautiful arc from the front of the penalty area and landed on the right side of the 30-meter area of ​​Barcelona. Messi was seen rushing forward quickly at some point, and Adriano was fighting closely with Messi, but the Argentine still raised his left foot early and gently picked up the ball.

This lob made the ball pass Adriano, and the Brazilian left-back chased back too hard and rushed over his head. After the lob, Messi gently used his hands to borrow strength from Adriano's back, faced the middle, headed the falling ball, and then chased forward.

The whole process was done in one go, which directly caused a big loophole in Barcelona's defense.

At this time, Cavani quickly rushed to Barcelona's penalty area. After Messi stopped the ball, he directly passed it to the right corner of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Cavani sprinted into the penalty area with the ball, but Mascherano tightly entangled Cavani. Seeing that there was no chance, the Uruguayan knocked the ball behind him with his heel.

This wonderful pass happened to be passed to Messi's feet, and the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone thought that Cavani opened his eyes behind him, because after Messi received the ball, there was no defensive player beside him, and there was only Pique left in front of him who was assisting behind Mascherano.

"Here it comes, here it comes, a goal is going to be scored!" The commentator on the scene was also following the situation and cheering loudly!
