Football irons are burning

Chapter 332 Boring Game

What was originally thought to be a goal battle, however, turned into a dull game.

Under Manchester United's full defense, Barcelona did not have a good chance to score.

Ronaldinho's skills are indeed good, but can he pass one, two, three or four?
Eto'o is also very fast, but when Manchester United's overall defense is powerful, he is also well restricted.

As for Klose, his shooting ability is indeed excellent, but no one passes him the right ball, can he still score?

Facing the dull scene, Barcelona fans almost fell asleep.

And the whole game, both sides have this rhythm.

In the end, the two teams played a 0:0 at Camp Nou.

This is really a boring game, but the intensity of the game is still acceptable.

Players from both sides jointly contributed a total of 11 yellow cards. It can be seen that the competition in this game is still very enthusiastic.

It's just that Barcelona's ball possession rate has an absolute advantage. Their 69% ball possession rate is indeed admirable.

However, the number of times they hit the penalty area was not very high. As soon as they entered the 30-meter area, Manchester United's defense was like a wall, blocking all Barcelona's attacks.

Therefore, there were very few shots in the game.

The two sides added up to a total of 14 shots, which is very inconsistent with the identities of the two teams.

At the press conference after the game, Rijkaard was disappointed with the team's performance, and at the same time made a mockery of Manchester United's lack of progress.

Rijkaard rarely encountered a defensive team in La Liga, so he was very depressed today.

But Queiroz ignored this, but believed that the away draw was good for the team. Back at Old Trafford, they would easily advance.

This guy actually learned from Chelsea. The game between Chelsea and Manchester United achieved a good effect through defense. Therefore, Queiroz also implemented similar tactics in this game.

This tactic actually sacrificed Li Tie's offensive talent. Fortunately, the result of the game was quite satisfactory. For the knockout round, sometimes the sacrifice is worth it.

Although, the outside world may criticize Manchester United for being conservative.

Having a double football player and still sticking to it is a bit uninspiring.

In the other three games, Real Madrid beat Arsenal 1:4 away and entered the semi-finals with one foot.

Zidane was radiant, tearing Arsenal's backline to shreds.

This score also made Wenger very disappointed. Arsenal looked like a giant. However, they did not match the results of the giants, especially in the Champions League. Arsenal's results have always been tepid.

Bayern defeated Deportivo 2:0 at home, Chelsea also defeated Valencia 2:0 at home, and both teams also took the initiative to qualify.

The intensity of the Champions League has also made UEFA very satisfied. Now the commercial value of the Champions League has exceeded expectations.The total revenue of this year's Champions League is expected to exceed the 15 billion mark.

This year's championship bonus is estimated to reach 2000 million euros. This temptation is also to make all teams go all out to compete. The emphasis on the Champions League is higher than other competitions.

In terms of current championship odds, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Chelsea rank in the top three, which is also a normal result.

European football continues to lead the trend of world football.

Other continents are also learning from European football. The AFC made progress in the AFC Champions League last year. The final champion, Bashu Club, also won a lot of bonuses, which made the backstage owner of the club, who had planned to quit, change his mind and continue to invest in football.

With market income, and it is not a lot, this of course can make the club more confident.

It is said that this year's Toyota Cup will be cancelled. FIFA plans to follow suit and host the first Club World Cup, which will also enhance market response and expand FIFA's influence.

The participants in the Club World Cup are naturally the champions of all continents and the host team. If it is really done, it should have enough influence, especially for clubs in Asia and Africa, they must be more motivated.

Once you get down to the European champion, the influence is really big!
Many things are changing because of Li Tie's time travel.

A butterfly can cause a hurricane, can one person's journey not affect other people?
Back in the Premier League, Manchester United beat Leeds United 4-0 at home.

In the first round of the two sides, there was an unpleasant incident at Leeds United's home court. Therefore, this time Leeds United came to Old Trafford and did not get any benefits.

Not only was the whole game booed by Manchester United fans, but the score was also miserable.

Li Tie staged a hat-trick and raised his season goals to 30, continuing to consolidate his position in the scorer list.

In another game, Chelsea lost 1:2 away to Newcastle, and Manchester United's lead expanded to 12 points.

With 7 rounds left in the league, this advantage can be described as huge.

Obviously, Chelsea was distracted by the Champions League, and this time it is completely hopeless to defend the title.

The competition for the Champions League seats is also becoming increasingly fierce.

Manchester City defeated Blackburn away and continued to rank third.

The competition for No.4 is very fierce.

Nottingham Forest defeated Aston Villa away, Arsenal also defeated Charlton, and Liverpool defeated Bolton. The points gap between the three teams is 1 point. It is really hard to predict who can laugh at the end.

In the FA Cup quarter-finals in midweek, Manchester United encountered another low-level team, Wimbledon.

Wimbledon used to be a Premier League team, but after they were relegated to League One last season, their strength plummeted, and a large number of stars left one after another. Now they are only in the middle of the league in League One.

However, the style of this team is still very tough and plays very rudely.

During the game, Manchester United players were constantly shoveled to the ground by opposing players.

Not long after the start, Van Nistelrooy, who had returned from injury, was shoveled off again by the opponent's defender and replaced by Forlan.

This also made Li Tie see what the crazy gang is. These guys are not afraid of being a star at all, and they will do it if they refuse to accept it. This is a very obvious fishing spirit.

Li Tie was also constantly knocked to the ground by the opponent, but fortunately he paid attention to protecting himself, and his physical fitness was good, so he was not injured.

Under the opponent's style of play, Manchester United's offense was constantly interrupted.

The referee also turned a blind eye and seemed to deliberately provide an umbrella for low-level teams.

In the 30th minute, after Fran was shoveled and injured by the opponent's player, Li Tie went into a frenzy again, picked up the opponent's player and threw him off the field, and kicked him twice.

As a result, he was sent off with a red card.

Except for getting 5 villain points, I didn't get anything.

This was another boring game. The opponent relied on this rude style of play to make Manchester United's offense helpless, and because of fear of injury, Manchester United players also played cautiously.

Manchester United, with one less player, was finally dragged into a penalty shootout by their opponents, and Neuer became the most dazzling star in the audience.

He saved three penalty kicks in a row to help Manchester United advance to the semi-finals.

At the press conference after the game, Queiroz was naturally filled with righteous indignation and was very dissatisfied with the rude playing style of the opposing player.

As for Li Tie's red card, Queiroz also protected him, thinking that he is a qualified captain.

"He is a qualified leader of the team, and the opponent's fouls are hateful. Although he will face suspension, it still has a deterrent effect on the opponent. I hope that the Football Association will put forward some constructive opinions on this, and don't let rude fouls destroy the football itself. Although attracting the audience is very important, low-level teams may be more attractive, but football itself is not the case. We still hope to see a stronger team win the championship."

Of course, Li Tie's actions at that time were really big. The opponent's players were thrown several meters away.

If Li Tie hadn't been as tough as Li Tie, I still don't know how the opponent's players would play.
