i want to be king

Chapter 386 Barcelona really ran out of money!
If you want to talk about Liverpool this season, it is indeed strange enough.

The Red Army is currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, their results are not satisfactory, and they may not even qualify for the Champions League, but they have made great strides in the Champions League and reached the semi-finals.

But precisely because of poor results in the league, Liverpool performed even harder in the Champions League, because they had to bet on a hope, that is, to apply for a special case as the defending champion and be able to participate in the Champions League next season.

Ronnie's performance this season is not ideal, and he has received a lot of criticism and criticism, mainly because he is facing transformation and adjustment, but in the game against Liverpool, he played quite well, assisting Rooney to score the only goal, helping Manchester United beat Liverpool [-]-[-] away.

Therefore, for Liverpool, Ronnie still has a certain say.

"Benitez is still the same. After the introduction of Harvey Alonso this season, the double midfielder is often adjusted. He is in rotation almost every game. There is no fixed starting lineup, which is terrible."

"But their biggest problem is the central defender. Hyypia is old and his competitive status has declined very obviously. He has never been able to find a reliable central defender combination, so that he bought the veteran Pellegrino to Liverpool during the winter break. But now the main players should still be Hyypia and Carragher."

Su Dong is no stranger to Pellegrino. The Argentine veteran's strength is indeed not bad, but he is old after all.

"Liverpool is not easy to deal with. Under the guidance of Benitez, this team has a strong integrity and a good defense. When facing them, it is difficult to find a way to make things easy. It can only be head-to-head."

Ronnie's statement is very consistent with Su Dong's impression of Benitez.

Benitez was notoriously stubborn during his time at Valencia.

His most famous theory is that, given him eleven robots, he can win any game.

So much so that some people say that Benitez's tactics can restrain any opponent, but the execution of the players may not be in place.

Because people make mistakes all the time.

Barcelona is good at offense, but facing Liverpool, Barcelona's offense may not be able to play a role, but the team's defense.

Rijkaard has made it clear that in the next period of time, Barcelona will focus on grasping the defense and strive to improve the defense, hoping to avoid the recurrence of conceding more than three goals per game in the recent period.

If you really want to lose like this every game, no matter how fierce Barcelona's offensive firepower is, they can't stand it!
…………

…………

Su Dong lived in Manchester for one night, and listened to Ronnie vomit all night.

Having not won the championship for two consecutive seasons, being as proud as Manchester United is now under great pressure.

Especially with Chelsea's strong rise this season.

Ferguson aims to adjust the team's style of play and support a group of young players to the top, but the fans don't care about you, they think these players are newer than old. Rooney is a native player in England. His protective attitude made the British media point their guns at Cristiano Ronaldo, thinking that he is too flashy and not practical enough to replace David Beckham and the like.

Anyway, Ronnie's current situation is the saddest.

Fortunately, recently, someone came out and snatched the cauldron from Ronnie's head.

Ferdinand was exposed by the media for the second time to have a private meeting with Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon, together with his agent Zahavi, and the Israeli agent has a very close relationship with Abramovich.

The first time it was exposed by the media, Ferdinand became the "Judas" in the mouth of Manchester United fans. This time it broke out again, Ferguson also reluctantly warned Ferdinand, hoping that he can keep his promise and stop using Chelsea to hype and put pressure on Manchester United to renew his contract.

It has been analyzed that Ferdinand and Kenyon met to put pressure on the transfer and force Manchester United to make concessions on the renewal salary, but Ferguson has always refused to break the existing salary structure for Ferdinand.

It can be seen that the two sides have been playing games.

In addition to Ferdinand, in the capital market, American sports tycoon Glazer has proposed the acquisition of Manchester United for the third time.

The previous two acquisition proposals were rejected by Manchester United, but this time it is said that Glazer proposed a brand-new acquisition plan with very attractive conditions, even Manchester United CEO David Gill admitted that the offer was very generous.

As a listed company, Manchester United must consider the interests of all shareholders. If the purchase price is indeed attractive, Manchester United does not rule out the possibility of being acquired, and this will inevitably lead to fierce turmoil in the club.

You know, at the end of the last century, Sky TV tycoon Murdoch had basically completed the acquisition of Manchester United, but he was strongly protested by Manchester United fans, and even a group of Manchester United hardcore formed a [Red Rebels] to announce their boycott of Murdoch's acquisition.

Although the acquisition died later, but now there is another Glazer, Manchester United fans still strongly oppose it.

It was amidst this turmoil that Ronnie's situation became more relaxed.

Su Dong also tried his best to appease his best friend.

Now that you have joined Manchester United, don't give up easily. No matter how difficult the situation is and how much pressure you have, try your best to play at Manchester United. This is the right way.

Like Quaresma, after leaving Barcelona, ​​the possibility of returning to a top team is much smaller, and even returning to a giant like Barcelona is unrealistic in the short term.

Even if it's like Diego Forlan, he performed quite well after leaving, but other wealthy teams also have grudges.

Who knows if the same situation as Manchester United will happen after Forlan switches to other giants?
"Don't worry, I won't be knocked down so easily!"

When we parted, Ronnie put his arm around Su Dong's shoulder and said in a very firm tone.

From the moment he decided to join Manchester United, he had the determination to succeed in Manchester.

"Of course I believe you!" Su Dong laughed.

"I'm your brother, I won't embarrass you!"

…………

…………

After returning from Manchester, Su Dong went into intense preparations.

There is no suspense in La Liga, and Barcelona is not willing to invest too much in this competition. It is more about adjusting the state of the players, and the team is still focusing more on the Champions League.

Defense is Barcelona's biggest problem right now.

How to solve the defense?

Objective problems such as a thin lineup and insufficient players are there, and it is impossible to solve them this season, so the team has to think of other ways.

For example, increasing possession of the ball, such as actively investing in counter-attacks in the midfield and pressing in the midfield, and so on.

Rijkaard and Ten Carter are also constantly using training to study the team's defense repeatedly, hoping to find an effective plan.

……

On April 23, La Liga No.30 has three rounds.

Barcelona away to Malaga.

Since the first round of the Champions League semi-finals will be ushered in midweek, many of the main core players including Su Dong and Ronaldinho did not appear in this game.

But Barcelona still beat Malaga [-]-[-] away.

Giuly scored twice, Oleg and Gerard scored successively.

With zero opponents, Marcos Senna sits behind the midfielder, and his performance is still remarkable.

This also makes countless Barcelona fans feel sorry. If Marcos Senna can participate in the Champions League, Barcelona's situation will be much better than it is now.

Especially through these four months of competition, Marcos Senna has not only been unanimously affirmed by the Barcelona team, but even the media and fans are very surprised by this previously unknown player who suddenly turned out.

Who would have thought that a 28-year-old player with little fame before would have such outstanding strength?

……

At the end of the league, Barcelona received another piece of good news.

After long preparations and many years of construction, Gamper Sports City, located in the western suburbs of downtown Barcelona, ​​will be officially opened in the new season.

Starting this summer, sports teams such as Barcelona's football team, basketball team, volleyball team, rugby and hockey will all live in this brand new sports city.

Among them, the football team is the focus of this sports city.

Although only the first phase of construction has been completed so far, the Gamper Sports City will be the highest level football training base in the world, and the hardware and software facilities will be more advanced than the current old sports city.

When Barcelona's vice-chairman Soriano announced the good news, he also announced that it would be difficult for Barcelona to have enough funds to invest in the transfer market this summer, because the club still has a large amount of old debts that have not been paid off, including the heavy signings last summer and the loan owed for the construction of the Sports City.

This basically means that it is difficult for Barcelona to invest in the transfer market this summer.

At this time, the management suddenly let out such rumors. The subtext is actually to tell the team, so that the coaching staff and players have a clear understanding, that is, to fully dig internally and not to rely on external signings.

Because Barcelona really has no money!

In order to introduce Sudong and build the Gamber Sports City, Barcelona can be said to be poor.

But from Soriano's statement, it can also be seen that the power struggle of Barcelona's management has basically been settled.

According to the news Su Dong received, Russell will leave Barcelona.

Laporta will fully take over Barcelona, ​​Soriano and Begiristan, as well as Laporta's confidants, will fully control Barcelona, ​​which also temporarily stabilizes Barcelona's interior and calms people's hearts.

It's just that many media revealed that Ronaldinho is likely to choose to transfer to Chelsea because of Russell's departure.

But the Brazilian superstar has made it clear in the locker room that he will not leave Barcelona this summer.

He still hopes to be successful at Barcelona.

……

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final is imminent, and Liverpool arrived in Barcelona in a low-key manner.

Benitez changed his previous vowed remarks and appeared very low-key. He admitted that Barcelona is better than Liverpool and has a better chance of entering the Champions League final, but he said that Liverpool also has a chance.

"If we lose only one goal at Camp Nou tomorrow night, we will have a very good chance of qualifying at home!"

And Benitez's biggest bargaining chip is Liverpool's excellent away record in the Champions League this season.
