Midfielder.

Chapter 253

Although there are still four or five days before the round of sixteen battle between Chelsea and Barcelona will be staged, many speculations about this game have been released in advance before they meet, because too many people pay attention to this game.

"The Spear of La Liga" collided with the "Standard Shield of the Premier League". This is what many people predicted for the battle between Barcelona and Chelsea. One is the team with the sharpest attack in La Liga, while the other is the team that concedes the fewest goals in the Premier League. The team, when they collide, a confrontation between spear and shield will inevitably happen.

Barcelona has failed to score in only two games in all games this season, while Mourinho's team has never conceded two goals in all the games that have been played, and even more so in the past sixteen league games. defeat.

Chelsea have not lost for a long time, aside from a defeat to Newcastle United in the FA Cup at the weekend.

But it was such a failure that many Barcelona fans thought it was a good sign. In their view, Chelsea's defensive style of play was not as smooth as Barcelona's offensive style of play.

"A team that focuses on defense makes people feel uncomfortable even if they win. In La Liga, only a flood of offense can win respect. If Mourinho is coaching here, I believe his number of fans will definitely be huge." Very little because in Spain nobody likes to see a defensive team like Italy win trophies."

But for the evaluation of Barcelona fans, the English counterattack is also very sharp, "If Barcelona play in the Premier League, maybe their short back line will be bombed into a pitiful sieve by high-altitude bombing."

Many London newspapers are ridiculing the lack of height of the Barcelona defense, especially the central defenders Puyol and Marquez. They all said that if these two guys are in the Premier League, they will definitely be defeated by headers.

"Football is nothing more than defense and offense. Don't forget that Chelsea's offense can penetrate the defenses of Manchester United and Arsenal. Similarly, they can also end Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Let us all wait and see."

When the Barcelona media criticized Chelsea's defensive play, some British media also warned the Spaniards, don't forget Chelsea's offensive ability, if you ignore their offense, you will regret it!
This kind of war of words between the media has always been an old tradition in the Champions League. Barcelona and Chelsea are not immune. This kind of verbal scene will also make the game hot before the start. There is nothing wrong with it.

Anyway, everyone knows that this is the most attractive game in the round of [-]. You must know that Chelsea ranks first in the betting company's winning odds list, followed by Barcelona. This is a veritable strong dialogue.

This time even the "Aspen", one of the mouthpieces of Real Madrid, is on the side of the Barcelona team. Of course, these guys are not speaking well of their sworn enemies. They are mainly targeting Mourinho and the black-haired kid.

The scene of Porto embarrassing Real Madrid twice last season, the group of "Aspen" has not forgotten.

Now even if Mourinho has left the Porto team, this guy will always be the kind of person who is hated. Now that that guy is coming to Spain again, "Aspen" will certainly not let him have a good life.

Even if it is to speak for Real Madrid's sworn enemy this time, "Aspen" also recognizes that as long as Mourinho and Lin Yi can be embarrassed, they can do anything, but this boring way of revenge is really enough. of.

But Barcelona, ​​which has won consecutive victories in La Liga, now does have the confidence to wrestle with anyone.

Especially in the group stage, they met AC Milan, the traditional giants of Serie A. After losing 0:1 in the away game, they were able to avenge their shame with a score of 2:1 at home. This is a clear proof of their recovery in the European war. .

When they met Chelsea in the round of [-] draw, the Barcelona people just wanted to continue their unbeaten home run.

They don't know what the away game will be like, but at the Nou Camp, they believe that the winner must be themselves.

This confidence comes from their strong offensive ability. When facing the strongest defense in the Premier League, they will also tear Chelsea's defense at home and win!Into the quarterfinals!This is the roar of the Catalans!

In an interview before the match, Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard also said very firmly, "Chelsea can lose to Newcastle United, which proves that the opponent is not invincible, let alone the first game is Barcelona. Home, so we're ready to give Chelsea two straight defeats at Camp Nou."

"No matter how tough Chelsea's defense is, I believe my players have a way of tearing it apart."

In the case that Mourinho has not said anything publicly, the Barcelona team has taken the lead in provoking the flames of the decisive battle.The advantage of the home court and the revived Red and Blues all gave the Catalans a confidence to win.

Who can win the game, it is estimated that few people can predict accurately, the supporters of both sides think that their team is the strongest, just like Cruyff who brought the dream team for Barcelona, This time he firmly stood on the side of his Dutch juniors. He believed that Barcelona should be able to kill Chelsea at the Nou Camp.

However, Mourinho was not polite to the speech of Cruyff, an old acquaintance, "A person who only knows how to play golf and criticize others with a pen for the past ten years does not understand what victory is. His views may not be correct, or After the two rounds, he will find that he really shouldn't have said so many useless words today."

"And as a team coach, Rijkaard didn't win a single trophy, and I've had many."

Mourinho not only hit back at Cruyff's prediction, but also burned the flames of war on Rijkaard.

Since you Barcelona want to provoke this kind of war, don't blame me for escalating this kind of war into a full-scale confrontation.

Anyway, Mourinho has never been afraid of anyone, especially after fighting Wenger and Ferguson for almost a season, when he used words to fight back against his opponents, he has become sharper.

Not to mention that he can fight the crowd with his tongue, at least Mourinho has been able to do one-on-one, which is definitely a skill.

Arrogant, Mourinho still stands in front of everyone in this way, knowing that this time the opponent is difficult to deal with, so he will not be at a disadvantage in this tit-for-tat war of words, he must be tough .

This is not only to allow him to maintain a strong fighting spirit when he returns to Camp Nou, but also to cheer up his players. At least let them see that his leader is not afraid of being in the Nou Camp. battle!

Maybe Mourinho was a little too worried. He forgot the nickname of his group of guys in the Premier League, "Beasts". This is a group of beasts. How could they show cowardice before going to the battlefield.

Perhaps the cheers of the [-] Camp Nou fans could only make this group of guys more excited and more aggressive.

Mourinho has already instilled his own toughness into the bones of such a group of beasts. Even their blood flows with the desire to conquer others. This is Chelsea, and they have no fear of anyone.

What about Camp Nou?This is a battle between pure men, who can be the final winner, just wait and see!
Before the Chelsea players set off for the Nou Camp, no one said anything, but anyone who is familiar with them can see that this group of guys is filled with a kind of ferocity to fight their opponents to the end.

However, Barcelona has finally waited for the recovery, so they will not bow their heads and admit defeat so easily before the confrontation.

War of words, psychological warfare, the battle between Rijkaard and Mourinho is just the beginning. After all, this is a two-round match. It is not known who will win in the end. Everyone is doing their best To control everything, this is a confrontation representing the top level of Europe, Chelsea and Barcelona will perform a madness!
In addition to bickering, Mourinho needs to consider how to lock Barcelona's offensive trident, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, and Giuly. These three will be the biggest trouble for Chelsea's defense.

Just like the Spanish media said, Barcelona's offensive edge can be said to be the top in Europe. Their smooth interspersed movement can tear through any line of defense. Even AC Milan failed to resist this at Camp Nou. The Trident's offensive is a very severe test for Chelsea's Great Wall of Steel.

In addition to the three guys on Barcelona's striker who need to pay attention, Mourinho is most worried about Barcelona's midfield. Chelsea can maintain such a high winning percentage this season, relying on the midfield's organizational ability, but Barcelona also With such an advantage, their midfield is not inferior to that of Chelsea.

Former Italian international Albertini and Xavi, the midfielder brain of the Spanish national team, just these two guys dangling in the midfield is enough for the Chelsea team to be busy for a while, not to mention that there is a Murray in the middle of these two people. An old acquaintance of Neo, the Brazilian midfielder Deco, who only transferred from Porto to Barcelona this season.

That guy is really familiar with Mourinho's coaching methods, especially Deco is very familiar with Lin Yi's habits, and Deco has retreated from the midfielder to the midfielder in Barcelona this season, becoming more offensive and defensive.

It is not good news for Chelsea to have such a guy in the opposing team, especially for Lin Yi, who has been in a bit of ups and downs recently. It's probably impossible to play as you please, and Deco will definitely try to create trouble for him.

"There is no doubt that Lin Yi is my friend, but that is only outside the court. When the whistle of the game starts, we are all professional players. No one will show mercy. I am the same, and he is the same." Deco accepted What the media said in the interview also confirmed that this guy was already ready to entangle Lin Yi in the midfield battle.

"It would be great if that guy could be our undercover agent." After seeing Deco's interview, Lin Yi said to Brito beside him, which made both Mourinho and Brito feel sad.

They really don't know how this kid's brain is twisted. Doesn't this kid know what it means to be afraid?At this fucking time, this kid is still in the mood to make such a joke!

Undercover! ?Your uncle!Concentrate on me now!Chelsea is going wild on Barcelona's territory!

Who is afraid of WHO?Let the top sixteen battle come! ! !
