Chinese champion

Chapter 322

That night, Pei Wei didn't know anything about what happened between Zhu Jun and Fang Zhiling, and Zhu Jun kept his mouth shut as Fang Zhiling asked, and didn't even mention a word to Pei Wei—but he didn't seem to have a chance to mention it, because After that day, the European league will resume fighting, and the European players in the Chinese team have returned to their clubs to prepare for the next heavy game.

After dispatching most of the main players to easily defeat Reggina, Inter Milan ushered in their opponents in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Barcelona.

This opponent can be regarded as the strongest opponent Inter Milan has encountered since the beginning of this season. It is also the most popular team in Europe in the past two years. Two La Liga champions and one Champions League champion in two years. Such achievements can already be regarded as a "dynasty". You must know that the achievements of Real Madrid and AC Milan, which can be called dynasties in the past ten years, are nothing more than that.

The rise of Barcelona has to mention two people. One is their chairman Laporta. It was after he took office that he cleaned up the mess left by his predecessor Gaspart. In addition, he has created a team of kings who will not grow old in a few years. Among them, the introduction of Ronaldinho from Paris Saint-Germain and the capture of Eto'o from Real Madrid and Mallorca are the most outstanding two. transaction.

The second person is their head coach Frank Rijkaard. The Dutch marshal spent three years building a team that is feared by everyone in Europe, and his consistent offensive football has also made Barcelona a very popular football team. One of the most entertaining teams on the continent, Rijkaard, like Jose Mourinho, has emerged as a leading figure in a new generation of coaches in European football.

Ronaldinho is the core, Eto'o is the weapon, Harvey is the brain, and Puyol is the spiritual leader. This Barcelona team can hardly find any shortcomings. Thuram, Barcelona have made up for the last flaw in their squad.

Although encountered a lot of trouble in the first half of the season, such as Eto'o was injured for five months, Ronaldinho suffered from World Cup syndrome, and his performance in Barcelona was not very good, but after Ronaldinho gradually recovered, Eto'o After To'o returned from injury, the feared Catalan king returned.

The game against Barcelona is a huge challenge for Inter Milan.

As one of the young marshals, Mancini has been unable to get the same high praise as Rijkaard and Mourinho. This game is an opportunity for him to prove himself.

From the perspective of the schedule, it is very unfavorable for Inter Milan. Their first round of the game is to meet the challenge of Barcelona at home at Meazza, and then go to the Nou Camp for a fateful battle a week later. Inter Milan is disadvantaged.

However, no matter how unfavorable it is, the game still has to be played. At this point, Inter Milan has already prepared for a fierce battle.

The league championship is basically in sight, and Mancini has the courage to focus on the Champions League. Inter Milan is now very eager for any championship.

There are only two questions in Mancini's mind now, one is, who will mark Ronaldinho?The other is, who will mark Eto'o?
As for the offense, Mancini is still very confident in his offensive line. Ibrahimovic's skills, Crespo's impact and Pei Wei's organization and speed are all ranked first in Europe. Moreover, Barcelona is not a particularly good defensive team. Their victory is often through a strong offensive to oppress the opponent and cannot counterattack. In terms of defense, Inter Milan from Italy is better than Barcelona from Spain anyway.

************************************************
"This is the strongest opponent we have encountered so far this season!" In Meazza's locker room, Mancini pointed to the tactical board and said to the players: "They are the defending champions of the Champions League, all of Europe The strongest team! But we will not be afraid! Because we are Inter Milan! The former queen of Europe! This is Meazza, no team can come here without trembling!"

"Among our opponents today, the most threatening player is their Ronaldinho! But we can't ignore the others! Eto'o has scored eight goals in ten games since his comeback. His scoring ability is very good. Strong, Ivan! He will be handed over to you today, be careful of his sudden activation!"

Cordoba nodded calmly. Maybe he is not as famous as Eto'o, but his fighting spirit can make up for everything.

"When Ronaldinho is on the left, Javier will defend, and when he is in the middle, Esteban will defend! You can use fouls to deal with him when necessary, but pay attention to the location! Dacourt, you are here today. Keep an eye on Deco and stalk him to death! Patrick, you have to use offense to suppress Xavi's organization. He is the real midfield brain of Barcelona! The offense initiated by these three accounts for more than 80.00% of Barcelona's offense , suppress them, Eto'o is just a toothless tiger!"

"Pei, the offense is initiated by you. What Barcelona are most afraid of is a quick counterattack. You must use speed to break down their defense. Your position can be very flexible. Whether it is left, right or central, you must be sure when counterattacking. Quick! Before their defenders have time to get back!"

"Let's go, lads! Let's ride the corpse of Barcelona to the top of Europe!"

**********************************************
Fireworks, songs, and the unchanging portrait of the snake spirit, this is the eternal theme of the Meazza Stadium!
The fans of Inter Milan have been waiting for this day for a long time. The "Great Inter Milan Era" not only refers to the invincibility in the domestic league, but also refers to the unshakable in the European arena!
When the players from both sides came out on the field, the sound rippling over the Meazza Stadium suddenly doubled!
Inter Milan lineup ([-]): Cesar, Zanetti, Cordoba, Samuel, Grosso, Cambiasso, Dacourt, Vieira, Pei Wei, Yi Cloth, Crespo!
Barcelona lineup (four three three): Valdes, Belletti, Puyol, Thuram, Zambrotta, Marcos, Xavi, Deco, Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o!

Both sides played the strongest lineup!
Rijkaard unexpectedly used the French veteran Thuram in the main lineup, and pushed the Mexican defender Marcos to the position of the midfielder, obviously in order to counter Ibrahimovic, as the only player who can break through one-on-one. A defender with the ball at Ronaldo's feet during the period, Thuram is the most suitable candidate to deal with a striker with excellent skills like Ibrahimovic.

Due to his advanced age, Thuram did not play many games in Barcelona this season, but this made Thuram even more terrifying, because he can use all his energy and physical strength in the few games, so that If so, the biggest factor restricting Thuram's performance-physical strength is no longer a problem.

Captain Puyol is responsible for marking Crespo. His fighting spirit is the treasure of Barcelona's town team, and Marcos' opponent is Pei Wei. In terms of flexibility, Marcos Bier Denilson is more suitable for marking Pei Wei.

Obviously in this game, Rijkaard is also very strict about defense. His thinking is the same as Mancini's. Basically, there should be no problem in offense. As long as the defense is solved, victory should not be a problem.

The two coaches who like to use offensive football to solve their opponents chose to be conservative this time. The consequence of doing so is...

"The first half of the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, but the combined number of shots from both sides is only three times! Among them, only Ronaldinho's free kick hit the goal frame, but it was saved by Cesar !"

The commentator in charge of broadcasting the game was a little surprised and said that no one expected that the two teams known for their offensive football this season played very conservatively in the first half of the game. Both sides deployed heavy troops under the defense , It is very difficult to move forward, Cambiasso and Marcos are very successful in defense, Ronaldinho and Pei Wei both misfired in the game, the scene is very boring.

In sharp contrast to the dull situation on the field, the expressions of the coaches of both sides were off the field. Both Mancini and Rijkaard walked back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, and shouted at the players on the field from time to time.

Both Ronaldinho and Pei Wei are heavily marked by the opponent's players. Although their personal abilities are outstanding, facing two world-class defenders, even if they are stronger than the two of them, it is difficult to display their strength.

Both of them are players with first-class speed and technology, but Mancini and Rijkaard have sent the most suitable candidates to mark them according to their technical characteristics. Cambiasso and Marcos have physicality and steal awareness , Zanetti and Gianluca Zambrotta have speed and predictive ability. Whether it is Pei Wei or Ronaldinho, it is difficult for them to play their roles in such a difficult situation.

In this case, the performance of other players dominates the game.

**********************************************
"Messi made a breakthrough! The 1.6-meter-eight little man passed the 1.9-meter giant defender beautifully!" The commentator shouted excitedly. Messi's series of dazzling breakthroughs on the right just now caused chaos under Grosso's feet , After shaking Grosso so that he lost his center of gravity, the 19-year-old Argentine genius stabbed the ball between Grosso's legs, then turned around from Grosso, and inserted into the penalty area!

At the moment Messi broke through, Ronaldinho suddenly accelerated and rushed into the penalty area!

Cambiasso's mental strength is abnormally concentrated. If he is a little slack in marking a player like Ronaldinho, it will be tantamount to suicide-he followed Ronaldinho to catch up, and Zanetti also quickly moved into the penalty area. Cut off the passing point between Messi and Ronaldinho.

Cordoba also followed closely beside Eto'o, he did not manage Messi, because Samuel had already stepped forward to block Messi.

Facing the "rock" which was fifteen centimeters higher than himself, Messi didn't feel any fear at all. He poked the ball near the baseline before Samuel moved, and then rushed over quickly!
Samuel was also breached!Although the shooting angle where Messi holds the ball is already very small, no one will take Messi's shot lightly!
Cordoba had no choice but to rush up to defend Messi's shot, but at this moment, Messi lifted his right foot and passed the ball across!
The ball rolled past Cordoba's body, but it was too late for Cordoba to intercept the ball when he turned around, so he had to watch the ball roll past him!
Eto'o, who was unguarded, received the ball, and without adjustment, he volleyed vigorously!
The ball roared and flew into the empty goal on the left!No matter how fast Cesar moves, he can't go from the front point to the back point immediately!
1:0!Barcelona leads Inter Milan on the road!
Pei Wei put his hands on his waist in the midfield, looking helplessly at Eto'o who was celebrating wildly.

Samuel is getting better and better, but when he was alone in Mallorca, he could score about 25 goals in a season, not to mention that he is in Barcelona now, behind him. In addition to Ronaldinho, he delivered the ball, as well as Xavi, Deco and Messi!
However, there is not only one Eto'o in front of me now, there are too many people who can receive my pass and shoot the ball into the goal!
**********************************************
"Thousands of calculations, one less Messi!" Mancini slammed a heavy punch on the grass: "Too careless! Messi has not performed well after he recovered from his injury. I didn't expect that in this game He exploded inside!"

Indeed, in the first half of this season, Messi suffered a relatively serious injury in the game. He rested for more than three months and was able to play more than a month ago. However, the few games he participated in after he recovered He didn't perform very well in the middle, who knew that in the game against Inter Milan, he suddenly burst out with amazing energy!80.00% of the credit for Eto'o's goal just now should be credited to Messi!

"Robert, don't worry, the game is still long, trust these guys!" Baggio said with a smile.

Mancini looked at Baggio and nodded: "You are right, Robbie, I also believe in these guys, they are invincible in Meazza!"

One goal behind did not make Inter Milan's players fluctuate too much. The consecutive victories in the league this season not only allowed Inter Milan to top the standings, but also greatly improved the players' confidence.

We are the strongest team in Serie A, and we are the creators of the great Inter Milan era!
Driven by this kind of psychology, conceding the ball instead inspired the fighting spirit of the Inter Milan players!
"This is the Inter Milan we are familiar with!" Meazza's commentator roared passionately: "The reality of backwardness not only did not discourage the Nerazzurri fighters, but made them more courageous and fearless to attack Barcelona! Barcelona cited The proud attack is completely impossible to organize under our oppression!"

Ibrahimovic took the ball back to do it, Cambiasso plugged in and shot from a long distance!

Valdes threw the ball flying, Crespo immediately followed up with a supplementary shot, Puyol rushed over from the side, and blocked the ball out of the bottom line with his body!
corner kick!Pei Wei drives the ball into the penalty area, and Cordoba, who rushes up to assist, jumps high and overwhelms Zambrotta with a head shake!
"The little Xavi did a great job! He blocked Cordoba's inevitable goal in front of the goal! Thuram made a big clearance, and now it's Barcelona's counterattack!" Catalonia TV commentator Roaring loudly.

Eto'o retreated to the midfield and headed the ball, and the ball flew to the unguarded Ronaldinho!

Cambiasso went up to assist just now. Although he was desperately chasing back, he was still several meters away from Ronaldinho!

Just as Ronaldinho was about to catch the ball, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side, and a flying shovel shoveled the ball out!
It was Duckett who tackled!The French veteran stopped Barcelona's quick counterattack at a critical moment!
Ronaldinho sat up from the ground and yelled something to the referee, but the referee shook his head, indicating that Duckett hadn't fouled just now.

The ball rolled to Cambiasso's feet, Pei Wei ran towards him and made a gesture for the ball.

Zambrotta and Marcos immediately flanked him, but Cambiasso did not pass the ball to Pei Wei, but directly sent a long pass, and the ball flew to the front of Barcelona's penalty area!

Ibrahimovic ran out of the penalty area and stopped the ball with a chest.

Thuram immediately stuck to him from behind, but Ibrahimovic did not protect the ball, but hooked the falling ball behind him, and then turned around quickly!
Although he has rich experience, the 34-year-old Thuram has obviously slowed down a lot in turning around. He can only watch Ibrahimovic, who was a teammate last season, turn past him!

Ibrahimovic just turned around and volleyed immediately before the ball hit the ground!
Valdez's posture of flying to save is very stretched, but unfortunately, although he has stretched his arms as much as possible in the air, he still can't touch the ball!

The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! No. 308 minutes in the first half, Inter Milan equalized the score! It was the Swedish god Ibrahimovic who scored the goal! Before the game, we were all talking about whether Pei Wei or Ronaldinho would dominate the game During the game, the two strikers announced to everyone with two goals that the master of the game is the striker!"
