There is a dream called football

Chapter 344

"Arthur, who do you prefer to advance to the final?" the reporter asked.

At this time, Wenger, of course, didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. He smiled and said: "AC Milan and Barcelona are both very strong. I think it will be good for either of them to enter the final."

"Haha."

That's what Wenger said, and he actually thinks so. After all, these two teams are now the top in Europe. It's really not said who is easier to play or who is more difficult to deal with, so Wenger thinks there is no difference.

On the way to the Nou Camp, these players felt the long-lost relief. After all, their own tests are over, and now it is time to watch other people's life and death battles.

Came to the stadium stands, Van Persie bought some food.

"Do you want popcorn? Li Qiao?"

Li Qiao chuckled and reached out to take it.

In fact, after taking off the jersey, everyone still looks like a big boy.

"I like the feeling, watching other people fight, we can eat popcorn by ourselves."

"Then just be a fan in the future."

"..."

"Then it felt like something was missing."

"Hehe, it's really difficult to serve."

"By the way, what do you think of this game?"

At this time, Barcelona's Dream II and Milan Dynasty can be said to be the two strongest teams in Europe, so there is really nothing to say. Li Qiao doesn't know if the plot is the same as in his previous life, but in terms of card strength, then Barcelona is undoubtedly the stronger side.

This was indeed the case after the start of the game. Barcelona led by Ronaldinho and AC Milan led by Kaka played very fiercely.

The two are also the core of the Brazilian team this summer, but there are no brothers on the court, and the two sides are really fighting fiercely.

But soon, the midfield composed of Iniesta and Deco still controlled the rhythm of the game, and Barcelona's pass-and-control football slowly came out.

Coupled with the impact of Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o in front, Milan's defense was in a panic.

But football games are like this. AC Milan was the first to get the chance. When the green light of Barcelona's defense line was a little loose, Pirlo slammed it straight to Inzaghi in front. The latter volleyed the back corner of the goal from the penalty area.

This is an action that Inzaghi can only do. It is weird and the angle of the volley is also very tricky.

Fortunately, the ball went out of the bottom line, Valdes did not make an effective save.

However, the Camp Nou fans were shocked into a cold sweat. In the last round, Barcelona won 1-0 in the away game. If this goal is scored, everything will return to the same starting line. After that, every goal of Milan is an away goal. This is really a terrible thing.

But Barcelona is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and soon they retaliated. After a few passes from the midfielder, the ball reached the feet of Giuly on the wing.

Still 0 to 0.
The first half ended 0-0. The two sides showed the most advanced style of play in world football, and it also represented the top of Europe. Many people even said that the match between Barcelona and AC Milan was an early final. Li Qiao had to agree with this.

During the intermission, the busiest people were the coaches of both sides, Rijkaard on one side and Ancelotti on the other.

They are all instilling tactics over and over again. In this level of competition, the head coach is very important.

In some low-level games, the coach arranges the tactics, but the players can’t do it. In many cases, it’s useless to talk about it. But in this level of games, the tactics instilled by the head coach are basically 100% for the players, so it’s very important.

It's similar to making a movie. If the actors are bad, then it's useless to be a good director. Ask Ang Lee to teach you how to act, and you won't know how to act.

Ancelotti's thinking is to send the ball behind the opponent, to the forward line, and Shevchenko and Inzaghi will solve the problem, while Barcelona's football thinking is to control the ball at their own feet, passing and controlling football is their philosophy.

At the beginning of the second half, Milan’s offense was faster, with three passes and two downs to the feet of Inzaghi in front, and he was able to complete a lot of high-quality shots. Barcelona’s two brains, Deco and Iniesta, sorted out the midfield in an orderly manner.

In contrast, Wenger thinks Barcelona's football style is even more terrifying, because he doesn't even give you the ball, what can you do?
Li Qiao knew that in the next 10 years, pass control football would be the mainstream of world football. It was not until the 2018 Russia World Cup and the disastrous defeats of Germany and Spain that someone shouted the slogan that pass control is dead.

Li Qiao found it very interesting that he was actually witnessing the history of pass-and-control football, but few people called it pass-and-control football at this time.

The last 10 minutes were the most intense. Milan, who was behind, replaced Gilardino, veteran Rui Costa, and Cafu.

After watching this game, many Arsenal players lamented that possession of the ball is the best defense, keeping the ball firmly under their feet.

"Barcelona is strong again."

"They were already one of the strongest teams in Europe."

"Head, hurry up and find a way, the next opponent will be us."

"Hehe, don't worry, there are still 20 days left, I will definitely find a solution, we are in demand."

****
After the game, as the winning side, Rijkaard was very happy. He thanked the fans and his players many times.

"The greatest thing is the fans, my players, they executed my tactics perfectly."

"Is Barcelona's tactics in this game too conservative?"

Rijkaard smiled and shook his head, "No, I don't see it that way. I know the fans hope for a confrontation. Maybe the final score is 3-3, and everyone is satisfied, but our players can't go full speed for a season. What we need is promotion, so for me, 0-0 is perfect."

"Haha, your remarks are very similar to Capello."

"Haha, this should be a compliment."

"Talk about your next opponent."

Rijkaard hesitated to speak.

"Hehe, let me be happy for a while, that seems to be a long time later, I want to have fun with the players tonight."

"Well, congratulations to your team for qualifying."

"thank you all."
