Chapter 106 Barcelona VS Manchester United

The showdown between Barcelona and Manchester United is considered a replica of the UEFA Champions League final in 2008-09, and is a game where Manchester United avenges Barcelona. Unfortunately, Manchester United's star at that time c. Ronaldo has now transferred to Real Madrid. Manchester United's current leader is Wayne Rooney.

If we only conduct the simplest strength comparison, Barcelona obviously has the upper hand. But football is not such a simple math problem.

First of all, Manchester United is at home, secondly, Ferguson's rich coaching experience and the strong resilience of the Manchester United team all provide many possibilities for this game.

And this time Fletcher will play. After losing to Barcelona in the last Champions League final, Ferguson believed that Fletcher's absence was a key impact. If Fletcher was there, he would form a defense line in the midfield to curb Barcelona's midfield performance.

Now it depends on whether Fletcher really has the ability to deal with Barcelona's powerful midfielder.

Fletcher was once Chu Zhongtian's defeated man, and Chu Zhongtian once won against Barcelona's midfield alone, so it's hard to say which one wins and who loses in Fletcher or Barcelona's midfield.

If Fletcher and Chu Zhongtian lost a little unconvinced when they were in the matchup, then after watching the Champions League final between Chu Zhongtian and Barcelona, ​​he was convinced.

Before the match against Barcelona, ​​Ferguson showed Fletcher a collection of UEFA Champions League finals he compiled, and asked Fletcher to learn how Chu Zhongtian dealt with Xavi, Messi, Iniesta and others.

If Manchester United wants to advance to the final, they must establish an advantage at home, otherwise they will be allowed to do whatever they want to go to Camp Nou in the second leg.

※※The game was more intense than everyone thought. In order to curb Barcelona's midfield, Manchester United seemed to be very aggressive in defense. Ferguson seemed to have learned from the lessons of 2009 and no longer be polite to Barcelona. Fletcher attacked everywhere on the court like a mad dog, harassing Barcelona players and squeezing the opponent's living space.

Ferguson used foul tactics in this game, and frequent fouls always interrupted the game. Barcelona's offense could not be organized at all.

This game attracted the attention of the whole world, no less than the Champions League final. However, this kind of game is obviously unsatisfactory.

Many people began to curse Manchester United's foul tactics.

Ferguson could not hear such a scolding, and at Old Trafford the sound of cursing at Barcelona.

Perhaps elsewhere, Barcelona is a respected and popular team, with Messi, Xavi and Villa, Iniesta and others cheering and applause everywhere they go. But in England, in Manchester, they are only booing and various English swearings.

It's not like a football game, it's more like a war.

Real Madrid coaches Mourinho and Chu Zhongtian both watched the game in front of the TVs at their respective homes.

Whether it is Barcelona or Manchester United, they may become their opponent in the Champions League final, and Barcelona will also be their opponent in the next round of the league.

They must understand the recent status of these two opponents, and maybe they can find some ways to deal with them in this game.

For ordinary fans, this game is not interesting so far, because fifteen minutes have passed, and there is not even a decent shot, let alone those more exciting shots.

However, in the eyes of Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho, the value of this game is quite high.

Fans watched wonderful goals and offense, while Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho watched tactical competition.

This is a direct struggle between two master-level head coaches, and it is a very meaningful game of learning.

※※※ Manchester United's destructive style of play made Barcelona very uncomfortable, and their offense was also affected.

However, Manchester United is very adapted to this British hard-core style of play. They did not compete with Barcelona on the ground, and directly used long passes to rush during the offense, which is considered outdated.

Rely on your body and speed to hit Barcelona's defense.

Barcelona has a Pique in addition to having no height advantage on the back line and has very weak air defense.

Under the repeated attacks between Rooney and Berbatov, Manchester United finally scored a goal.

In the 27th minute, Berbatov assisted and Rooney headed the ball.

Huge cheers rang out throughout Old Trafford Stadium.

※※※In fact, Chu Zhongtian is very conflicted. He really hopes that Barcelona will reach the final so that he can defeat Barcelona again in the final. This is much better than letting them stop in the semi-finals.

He won't feel bored if he fights the most powerful team on this planet many times.

Although he doesn't like Barcelona, ​​now seeing Manchester United lead Barcelona, ​​he is actually worried about his mortal enemy.

This has a kind of gay love that "you can only die in my hands"...※※※At the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, and Manchester United led the game at home.

The TV commentator kept praising Manchester United for his successful containment of Barcelona. Although this process is not very beautiful, football pays attention to the results. As long as the results are good, everything you did before is correct. As long as the results are wrong, no matter how beautiful you did before, it will become a mistake.

As Real Madrid head coach Mourinho understands this sentence more deeply than anyone else. Real Madrid's football is not pretty. When dealing with Barcelona, ​​he even uses killing tactics and rough defensive actions to curb the operation of Barcelona's midfield. If they win the game, the media will shout: "Now, only Mourinho can do it against Barcelona's universe team on earth!" Once he loses, it is a different scene. All kinds of voices criticizing him for being "rude" and "barbaric" will appear. Celebrities come out to denounce Mourinho for tarnishing Real Madrid's tradition, a regression of football, and a public enemy of all mankind... The media and experts criticize utilitarian football all day long, but who is the most utilitarian? It is themselves. The winner is the king and the loser. They executed this sentence very thoroughly.

※※※What adjustments will Guardiola make during the intermission are probably what everyone is most concerned about.

Guardiola can completely regard this game as a preview with Real Madrid, because Real Madrid's football is also so aggressive.

If he can find a way to restrain Manchester United, he will obviously be able to restrain Real Madrid.

However, judging from Barcelona's performance in the second half, he seemed to have no way to find it. Manchester United's proactive actions in defense made Barcelona players miserable. Faced with Manchester United's defense, they could only fall down again and again, rolling on the ground in pain.

"I think Barcelona can only expect the referee to suddenly show his power and send four people off to win the game!" The English commentator said slightly sarcastically. Of course, he was not mocking Manchester United's roughness, but ridiculing Barcelona players to fall to the ground exaggeratedly again and again.

Finally, Fletcher received a yellow card in the 70th minute, which made his defense restrain and he was afraid of it.

He was afraid of accumulating yellow cards and was sent off, then missed the second round, or even the final.

Once Fletcher's pressure in the midfield slowed down, Barcelona immediately rebounded.

Messi and Xavi are starting to get active again.

Barcelona's offense also began to lie in a gradually threatening situation.

In the 75th minute, just five minutes after Fletcher received the yellow card, Barcelona scored a goal!

Messi used his superb footwork to seek breakthroughs, found the path of the same goal in the crowd, and then hit the ball.

Not only did they tie the score at 1:1, but they also tied C. Ronaldo again, and the two of them were on the Champions League scorer list.

"The competition is really fierce, and it is fierce in all aspects! Ronaldo just scored twice in yesterday's game and surpassed Messi. Messi scored a goal today and caught up with Ronaldo! The competition between the two best players of this era makes us excited!"

Although the game process is not exciting, Messi's goal still allowed the commentator to find the topic.

When Chu Zhongtian saw Messi score the goal in front of the TV, he knew that tomorrow's training c. Ronaldo would contempt Messi again with disdain, and would say to Chu Zhongtian in a half-joking tone: "We must assist me more in the next round, Chu!"

These two people competed very interestingly, c. Ronaldo doesn't like Messi, and Messi doesn't like the arrogant Portuguese, but the two people are really celebrating each other on the football field.

However, Chu Zhongtian did not make such a joke to C. Ronaldo. He knew how much Ronaldo hated Messi, so it would be better not to make such jokes.

Messi's goal suddenly gave Barcelona hope, and their offense became more and more smooth. On the contrary, Manchester United's defense line was in danger.

Ferguson was anxious. He roared at the field off the court, and the "hair dryer" showed his power in the noisy Old Trafford Stadium.

He asked Fletcher to put aside all the messy ideas and focus on curbing the connection between Harvey and Messi.

At this time, he missed Chu Zhongtian especially. If Chu Zhongtian had chosen Manchester United instead of Real Madrid, and if Manchester United could offer a sky-high transfer fee of 70 million euros, Chu Zhongtian might have been wearing the Red Devils' robe?

Now facing Barcelona, ​​he is 90% sure to defeat his opponent.

He pursued Chu Zhongtian for several seasons, but never got it. Chu Zhongtian is now twenty-eight years old, and his contract with Real Madrid is still four years away. Judging from his performance in Real Madrid, it is almost impossible for Real Madrid to sell Chu Zhongtian, and it is almost impossible for other teams to steal Chu Zhongtian from Real Madrid. His performance after his transfer to Real Madrid proves that he can not only play the main core in weak teams like Metz and Hoffenheim, but also quickly become the main core in super giants like Real Madrid. He conquered the picky Real Madrid fans and Real Madrid senior executives, and even the strict Mourinho. Such a player can adapt to any tactics, any team, even if Mourinho is not in Real Madrid, he will still be an indispensable player in Real Madrid.

Such an important player, Manchester United wants to get him unless his contract expires... But by then, will the 32-year-old Chu Zhongtian still be the player Manchester United need? Ferguson is almost certainly impossible for him to continue to sit in the position of Manchester United's head coach. If he changes his head coach, is he still so eager for Chu Zhongtian?

These are all unknown.

What a pity, Ferguson originally had a very great Manchester United dynasty plan in his heart. Even if he was gone, as long as Chu Zhongtian could come, Manchester United's dominance in England could continue to be continued, and he could win one or two top-level championships in the European arena... Now they can only be broken in their stomachs.

※※※Fletcher became tough again, and Barcelona's offensive was quickly curbed.

After all, this is at Manchester United's home court, and Barcelona seems timid when playing. Guardiola and his men must have been affected by the weekend's national derby and seem a bit conservative in this game.

Obviously Guardiola thinks it's good to be able to tie and get a away goal.

Manchester United are not satisfied with this. They strengthened their offensive at the last moment and attacked Barcelona's goal.

And finally received the reward in the 86th minute.

In the 86th minute, Nani suddenly fired a gun in the midfield. Valdes was not prepared for Nani's long-range shot and responded half a beat slower. The football got into the net before he got his hands.

The goal ignited Old Trafford Stadium, and the cheers almost lifted the ceiling.

Don't worry about the opponent's away goal, at least the victory is more gratifying than a draw. Besides, this long shot is indeed quite beautiful, and can be called a world wave and boost morale very much.

Nani did not celebrate after scoring the goal, but just asked Rooney in front to pick up the football and continue to organize the offense. The 2:1 lead is not a score worth celebrating. Back to his home court, Barcelona can only score a goal, and they can push Manchester United to a dead end.

If possible, 3:1 is the best. Of course, 4:1, 5:1 and other things are better. But these are not realistic, and the possibility of 3:1 is the greatest.

Including injury time, there are about ten minutes left before the end of the game, and it is not impossible to score another goal...※※※ Guardiola made a quick adjustment, and he gave up the offense and strengthened his defense. Manchester United's morale is too strong now, and if there is a slight mistake, he may be scored by the opponent. Opponents of Manchester United's level are not comparable to those of the domestic La Liga. In the La Liga, Guardiola can occasionally make a big shot. In the Champions League semi-finals and at Old Trafford Stadium, he dare not relax at all.

Guardiola replaced Pedro with Mascherano, and instead played 442, with double midfielders. Strengthened the control of the midfield.

This adjustment is very timely.

Until the end of the game, even though Manchester United tried their best, they did not score another goal.

Guardiola gained an acceptable result, lost 1:2 away, and returned to home court, Barcelona's world. Now Guardiola's confidence in advancing to the final has increased a little.

Now he can temporarily put Manchester United behind his head and consider how to deal with Real Madrid - compared to Manchester United, this is Guardiola's most troublesome opponent. From the opponent's head coach to the opponent's players, everyone has made him feel a headache.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian turned off the TV and did not go to watch the next press conference.

Barcelona got a good start. Although they lost the ball, no one was injured in the game. Although they fell to the ground in pain one after another, they were not injured in fact, otherwise they would not have been running up again after the game, and they were still alive.

In this way, Barcelona can come up with the strongest lineup when playing against Real Madrid.

Chu Zhongtian doesn't care about this. Whether Barcelona is the residual formation or the strongest lineup, it's the same. Isn't the one he destroyed in the Champions League final last year the strongest Barcelona?

As long as you have this strength, you don’t have to worry about your opponent.

※※ Mourinho also turned off the TV. He was the same as Chu Zhongtian's idea. He didn't care whether Manchester United could injure Barcelona a few times. Although this did help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona. But he didn't want to be said after defeating Barcelona, ​​"They can only defeat a broken Barcelona team. If no one and that one were injured and could play, Real Madrid would definitely not win Barcelona." Such words are easy to say, and the light and fluttering seem to have no power, but it sounds uncomfortable, which is equivalent to denying all their previous efforts. Of course, what makes people feel most uncomfortable is that this is still very marketable. Many people firmly believe in this argument-"If XXX could play at that time, you would definitely not be able to defeat us."

There is no if in football matches, otherwise, the ball will not be able to be played. Everyone can say what if it is. This kind of hindsight is meaningless. So many people like to play like this. So he wants to complete an impeccable and undisputed victory. In the Camp Nou, facing the strongest Barcelona, ​​completely defeat them, pull them off the throne, and step on ten thousand feet, so that they will never turn over, leaving the whole world speechless and speechless!

He has never forgotten the scene of Barcelona slaughtering Real Madrid in five goals at Camp Nou.

His thoughts of revenge have been circling in his mind.

Real Madrid got Chu Zhongtian this season and finally had the strength to compete with Barcelona. Now the revenge moment he has been waiting for for a long time is finally coming.

The last time at Camp Nou, Barcelona fans across the stadium were shouting: "Murinho! Get out of the coach's seat!!"

He was sitting in the coach's seat and his team was suffering from various humiliations on the court. He was powerless and didn't even have the strength to go out to demonstrate to Barcelona fans.

This was a great shame to him.

Now, back to Camp Nou again, he wants those arrogant Barcelona fans to know that I will not only come out of the coach's bench, but I will also celebrate the victory in front of you!
