Chapter 254

The war of words between Chelsea and Barcelona gradually heated up as the game date approached. Anyway, the media reporters and fans of both sides did not go too far except to greet each other's family members verbally.

It's just that the newspapers that publish the war of words between the two sides are profitable. This kind of eye-catching confrontation is indeed very popular.

Even the Times has reserved a special page for the battle between Chelsea and Barcelona in a conspicuous position. You know, this treatment has not even been enjoyed by Arsenal and Manchester United. The only time Ferguson has this treatment, it has to be traced back to 99 When they won the Triple Crown last year, but now Chelsea have enjoyed such a king-like courtesy in advance.

And the Arsenal team may not have this treatment recently, because at the same time as the Chelsea team took a flight to Barcelona, ​​the Arsenal led by Wenger suffered a tragic defeat at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

If it weren't for Arsenal's defender Toure who scored a header 1 minute before the end, I am afraid Wenger would have accepted the fate of being swept by his opponent 3:0 in Munich, but even so, the score of 3:1 was enough Awkward.

Pires, Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Van Persie, with such a luxurious offensive line, it is really unimaginable that Arsenal's goal depends on their own defenders rushing into the opponent's penalty area in the last minute .

But the fact is so cruel. Not only did Wenger's team lose, but they also lost without temper. The French old man didn't even have room to refute this time. He could only simply admit it after the game. fail.

And Arsenal's loss was very ugly. They seemed to be sleepwalking throughout the game, and they were not in the state at all.

The Germans at home had secured the victory in less than 10 minutes. With Pizarro's two goals in a row and Salihamidzic's chokehold, they settled it neatly at the Allianz Arena Arsenal.

The Germans lost in World War II, but on this night, the Germans completely trampled the English under their feet.

However, it is more vivid to say that what Munich stepped on was a multinational force, because there are so few Englishmen in the Arsenal team, they are more like a patchwork team, most of them are from outside the British Isles.

Or in Wenger's team, the Englishman's tough spirit is missing, and the Frenchman is still too delicate. Toughness is always around him, but it can't be instilled in the soul of the Arsenal team. .

After this game, many football critics commented on Wenger's team, saying that the only difference between them and Chelsea is that the guys in blue uniforms are a group of beasts who are not afraid of anything. The Na team is more like a gentleman on the football field, paying too much attention to their own elegance, but lacking a part of the toughness in their bones.

Wenger did not give any response to this evaluation, but many managers inside Arsenal can feel that Wenger has begun to change the team building, especially many veterans, who are on Wenger's purge list.

After a bitter defeat and a less than successful season, the old Frenchman has learned a little bit.

But this change may not be a bad thing, maybe he can bring unexpected changes to the Arsenal team.

What can't be broken can't be built. Perhaps when Wenger broke all the fetters, what greeted the Arsenal team was a rebirth.

The four English teams that entered the Champions League round of [-] lost one in the first round. Fortunately, Liverpool managed another German club, Bayer Leverkusen, at Anfield to avoid embarrassment.

With the same score of 3:1, the victory of this game also gave Benitez a chance to breathe when he was surrounded by enemies, but how long this breath can last, I am afraid that no one can give him an accurate estimate. reply.

Although Gerrard performed well in this game, the rumors about his leaving have not dissipated.

If Benitez and Liverpool want to keep this absolute core, I am afraid that a simple victory will not be enough.

The poor start of the English club also gave many Spanish media enough confidence, especially Real Madrid, which is not doing well recently, was able to kill Juventus led by Fabio Capello with a score of 1:0 at home at the Bernabeu. This makes many people unanimously optimistic about the La Liga duo.

"The victory at the Bernabéu is great because we faced a great team and the score accurately reflected the course of the game. Although we and Barcelona are rivals in the league, in the European arena we are equally Both represent Spanish football, good luck to them."

Luxenberg, the Brazilian old man, after he won Capello, the guy who threatened his handsome position at all times, he can have a good mood to comment on the rest of the game. Even in Barcelona, ​​​​he also gave his blessing. Of course, this old guy is not Such a simple good mood.

If Barcelona expends more energy in the two rounds of desperate battles with Chelsea, it is definitely good news for the league champions Real Madrid, so in the Nou Camp game, the more intense the game, the better. Anyway, Real Madrid is now sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

Especially after Real Madrid won the first round, even Florentino was in a very good mood. He even expressed the possibility of going to Camp Nou to watch the game. Of course, Mendes knew that this guy was definitely not Went to watch the game, he was going to observe Lin Yi on the spot.

Although the old guy has had a hard time as the chairman of the club recently, his idea of ​​acquiring Lin Yi has never changed.

"Money is not a problem, but I need to know clearly whether this transaction is really valuable." This is what Florentino said when talking with Mendes. There is no way, this old guy has never They are always so rich and powerful when buying players, which is unacceptable.

The start of the England team with one win and one loss is not too bad. Of course, it is a little bit different from the good wishes of those media who predict that they can all enter the quarter-finals. After all, Arsenal are half alive after the first round. up.

Now we can only wait and see the battle between AC Milan and Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona. Many England fans expect these two teams to write legends for the Premier League clubs and reach the quarterfinals together.

It’s just that the Chelsea fans are a little upset. There are only less than [-] tickets left for Chelsea in such a huge Camp Nou stadium. Playing in Spain, it can be seen that the Barcelona team is determined to secure the home court advantage.

When Chelsea fans arrived in Barcelona, ​​they were greeted with unfriendly eyes from opposing fans.

Chelsea led by Mourinho was even more so. When they walked out of the airport through the safe passage, they looked up and saw nearly a thousand Barcelona fans holding signs wishing Chelsea a failure at the exit of the airport. Many of Chelsea's main players have also been turned into funny clowns by the opposing fans.

"Ignorant Brits! You wait to accept defeat at the Nou Camp!", this kind of roar is endless.

Lin Yi looked at those crazy Barcelona fans and said, "Anyway, I'm not British."

If there are Barcelona fans who can hear this rebuttal, I don't know if they will be choked to death on the spot by this kid.

There is no way, Lin Yi is born with this temper, the more the opponent provokes him off the court, the more likely he will encounter this kid's strong counterattack. Obviously, the Barcelona fans at this moment make Lin Yi feel very uncomfortable.

"Maybe when they play away, we should also incite the fans to do it on the club's home page."

Seeing Lin Yi's serious expression, the group of guys around were speechless, because they found that this kid is more and more fond of holding grudges, especially those who annoy him.

"It's better to find some football hooligans. Those guys can pick up beer bottles and smash these Spaniards into the Atlantic Ocean." Lampard also said a few words casually following Lin Yi's remarks.

"You can think about it! Save those guys the airfare! It costs more than 1000 euros to fly back and forth!"

If the roar of Barcelona fans at the airport is very disturbing, then the harassment of Barcelona TV can be said to be everywhere. Around the hotel where Chelsea stays, these reporters are always ambushing, as long as they walk out of the room , will be surrounded by these people, all kinds of weird questions will be thrown at them, and they will not be given a chance to organize their words.

Especially Lin Yi, when he faced a group of Spanish journalists, he felt like his head was getting bigger. Some people asked him if the scandal was true, and some people asked him, the last time he lost to Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. Once is whether his team will face a defeat at the Nou Camp.

Lin Yi had nothing to respond to the scandal, he didn't want to add any gossip about himself to others, but for the provocative question of the Catalan reporter about the result of the game, Lin Yi responded to him with one sentence, "To You will know when you watch the game. Do you dare to say that Barcelona will definitely win this game? Even if you have home court advantage? Don’t forget, we are also at home in the second round, and you may not win this game , remember, this sentence is for me, after the two rounds of competition, you can only meet the result of failure!"

Still so arrogant on the opponent's territory?No way, Lin Yi and Mourinho are the same kind of people. They both have full confidence in the game. Whether they can really win the opponent, no one knows, but even if they lose the duel, they still walk out with their heads held high. The kind of diehard on the court.

What's more, this game hasn't started yet. In this kind of front-line confrontation, Lin Yi will never show weakness to his opponent, just come!I'm afraid you won't make it!What about Camp Nou?Even if it's hell, I'll smooth it out for you!Want to beat me? OK, step over my body, or you're dreaming!

The war between Barcelona and Chelsea is imminent. . .
