Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend
Chapter 53 Mr. Grand Slam, Part
After the highlight of the last round of La Liga, Barcelona rested for 4 days and then faced the challenge of Bremen at home.
Although Barcelona has already secured qualification for the group stage, they will certainly not give up easily at home; and Bremen, who came from afar, should not be underestimated. In the Bundesliga last weekend, Bremen defeated Wolfsburg 6-1.
However, Barcelona has been in great form recently, especially Ronaldinho, who is gearing up for the Ballon d'Or competition. He has been in such high spirits that he has not been to a nightclub for more than half a month. When he sees a man, oh no, his eyes light up when he thinks about the game!
Barcelona has remained unbeaten in nearly 10 European games and has won all of its last four matches against German teams. Coach Rijkaard rotated half of the team's main players and put Li Qi on the bench again.
Opponent Bremen has lost 15 of the last 10 away games in European competitions, but has won 4 of the last 3 confrontations with Spanish teams. Head coach Schaff still maintained the starting lineup that won last weekend and only brought 5 substitute players to the Nou Camp to compete.
Barcelona fielded the 4-3-3 offensive formation that has been the main focus in recent seasons:
The goalkeeper is No. 1 Valdés;
The back line from left to right is No. 12 Van Bronckhorst, No. 4 Marcos, No. 5 Puyol and No. 23 Oleguer;
The iron triangle in the midfield is No. 3 Motta, No. 18 Gabriel and No. 20 Deco;
The forward trident is No. 7 Larsson, No. 10 Ronaldinho and No. 8 Giuly.
The forwards of Bremen were not Krasnic and Valdez from the first round, but Klose and Valdez...
Yes, the focus is not on Valdez, but on Klose, the German striker nicknamed God K who retired at the age of 38 and is also Li Qi's idol.
Miroslav Klose was born on June 1978, 6 in Opole, Poland. He is 9 meters tall and weighs 1 kilograms. His height is not particularly outstanding, but his accurate judgment, excellent jumping ability and outstanding heading skills helped him emerge in the 84 World Cup and become famous in one battle.
The 05/06 season was the period when Klose was on top in the Bundesliga. He scored 26 goals and had 25 assists in just 14 appearances in the Bundesliga, winning the Bundesliga Golden Boot and Assist King awards in one fell swoop. It can be said that this season will be the peak season of Klose's club career, and at the end of the season he will be elected the Bundesliga's best player with a high vote rate.
In the first away game against Bremen, Ricardo was confused as to why he only saw Miku but not K. This game, maybe they will have a chance to play together!
Ricardo on the sidelines couldn't help but cheer for the fathers and brothers in the starting lineup: "Brothers, hurry up and score a goal... If you make it to garbage time, I'll have a chance to show my face on the field!"
As if they had heard Ricardo's inner call, Barcelona's starting lineup did not hesitate to attack Bremen after the kick-off. Within 5 minutes of the opening, Barcelona had two chances to break through Bremen's defense...
In the first minute of the game, Ronaldinho's father dribbled past the opponent and passed the ball diagonally to Larsson in the penalty area. The Swedish striker's lob shot in the penalty area was very imaginative and had passed the goalkeeper Reinke, but unfortunately it hit the post and went wide.
In the 4th minute of the game, Deco quickly took a free kick in the frontcourt, and Giuly rushed into the right side of the penalty area at high speed, and shot into the far corner from 10 yards in front of the goal, but it also hit the post and went wide...
In the 14th minute, Barcelona took the lead: Ronaldinho's father suddenly made a long pass from the left, Gabriel stopped the ball after offside and broke into the left side of the penalty area, and shot a low left-foot shot into the far corner from 16 yards, the ball hit the post and bounced into the net!
Barcelona broke the deadlock, this was also Gabriel's first goal of the season!
It’s great to play football with Ronaldinho’s dad…it’s easy to score goals.
However, Ricardo's expectations were not met yet, as Bremen equalized the score in the 21st minute: Puyol's goal kick was intercepted by Miku in the midfield, and after stopping the ball, Miku rushed directly into the penalty area at high speed. Van Bronckhorst made a tackle at the edge of the middle of the penalty area, knocking down both the ball and the Frenchman...
Danish referee Larsson gave a capital punishment, but fortunately he didn't give the player another gem card package...
Borowski scored in one stroke and the ball went into the net. Bremen tied the score.
But... you dare to fight back?! Xiao Luo's father will not be polite to you!
Soon, Barcelona took the lead again in the 26th minute: Bremen full-back Fallenhorst fouled Larsson, Ronaldinho's father took a free kick from the left 30 yards away and unexpectedly shot straight into the near corner of the goal. The ball whizzed into the net from the 10-point corner, and Reinke had no reaction...
The angle of the penalty was so precise! It can be said to be another world wave! This is the Brazilian's fifth goal in five Champions League group matches.
Barcelona almost extended the lead in the 38th minute when Ronaldinho's father made a cross after breaking through on the left. However, Larsson's header from 6 yards in front of the far post was miraculously blocked by Reinke's legs.
Then in the 40th minute, Giuly, who was almost alone on the right, tried to pass the ball to Larsson on the left side of the penalty area to create a chance to shoot at the empty goal. Unfortunately, the pass was blocked by the defender in the middle, and Larsson followed up with another shot but missed, wasting another golden opportunity.
"Brother Larson... this is so disappointing... If you don't score, how can I come on the field and assist you? If I don't come on the field and assist you, how can you score more goals?" Ricardo was anxious, as if his logic was a little confused...
Bremen almost equalized the score in the 55th minute. Frings made a cross from the right, and K. Klos jumped high in the middle of the penalty area, twisted his waist and headed the ball, which was slightly off the near corner.
In the 58th minute, Deco and Ronaldinho's father cooperated to create a chance for Oleger, but the latter's shot hit the body of Fahrenhorst who was flying over and went out of the baseline...
Finally, Rijkaard couldn't stand it anymore and made a substitution in the 65th minute of the game, replacing Giuly with Esquillo to strengthen the attacking power of the front line, and replacing Marcos with Li Qi, moving Oleguer to play as a central defender and Li Qi to play as a right back...
"Okay, I can finally play!" Li Qimai took a long breath after entering the court...
Not long after Li Qi came on the pitch, Barcelona expanded their lead.
In the 71st minute, Barcelona expanded the lead. Ronaldinho's father switched to the right this time, broke through and passed the ball straight. Larsson, who successfully got rid of the offside, used his speed to shake off Fahrenhorst and had a one-on-one opportunity. He calmly pushed the ball into the far corner from 14 yards in front of the goal.
"Look, after I came on the field, Brother Larson was able to score a goal!" Li Qi completely ignored the fact that he had no part in this goal. He didn't even touch Poppi...
Then, in the 75th minute, Rijkaard replaced Gabriel Gabri with Iniesta to strengthen the midfield's control.
In the final period of the game, Barcelona had the opportunity to change the score again.
In the 90th minute, Schulz fouled Ronaldinho in front of the penalty area. The Brazilian took a free kick from 25 yards in the middle and shot directly at the goal. Unfortunately, this time the ball went around the wall and hit the left post and went wide.
In the last minute of injury time, Barcelona once again launched a brilliant counterattack. Ronaldinho's father dribbled the ball at high speed and suddenly passed it into the penalty area. At this time, Larsson in the penalty area was no longer able to twist his waist to shoot, but chose to head the ball back to the front of the penalty area...
At this time, Li Qi and Esquillo knocked on the door! The Bremen defenders had no energy to chase back, not to mention eating dust, they were all watching slowly in the midfield...
Li Qi knew that the difficulty of scoring this goal was not in avoiding the defense, but in coordinating with Esquillo’s shot…
It would be impossible to make either of them give up. Li Qi, who happened to be at the breaking point at this moment, noticed that Esquiro's posture for preparing the shovel shot was wrong...
Oh no, this guy is masturbating in front of the door!
Listen to the wonderful commentary of the Katan-style TV broadcast commentator:
"Ronaldinho counterattacks with the ball..."
"I dodged a defender... and passed the ball! In the penalty area..."
"Larson got the point! No shot... ferry!"
"Esquiro and Lizzie!"
"Shoot! Oh!"
"Ditch oooooh! Ditch oooooh! Ditch!"
"What a wonderful goal. It seems that Esquillo's shovel shot hit Li Qi's shin guard and then bounced into the goal..."
"Let's see who will be credited with this goal in the final technical statistics..."
"Well, it should still be credited to Li Qi, thanks to Esquillo's assist! This is Li Qi's first Champions League goal!"
"Let's watch this goal again in slow motion..."
Esquillo made a tackle from 14 yards in front of the goal, trying to shovel the ball into the goal...
To be honest, Esquillo's speed is not as fast as Li Qi's. Although Li Qi is in a better position, he can catch up with the shot with his left foot, but Esquillo can't reach it...
So Esquillo chose to make a tackle and shoot, but because Esquillo stretched his legs to reach the ball, his center of gravity obviously fell backwards.
According to Li Qi's observation and prediction at the breaking point, Esquillo would kick the bottom of the ball after it bounced, and directly send a rocket to the audience in front of the goal...
In the spirit of not wasting the ball even if it doesn't go in, Li Qi generously gave up the first shot and stepped over Esquiro's shovel shot as if to be humble. At the same time, he slightly jumped over the ball, but tightened his calf and stayed above Esquiro's shovel shot, waiting to hit the shot that might be hit by the latter...
As expected, Li Qimeng was right. The plane shot by Esquillo hit Li Qi's leg directly, and then deflected to the lower right corner of the goal...
The goalkeeper was also confused by the continuous refraction and change of direction in a short period of time. Although Esquillo did not shoot on target and Li Qi did not want to block the ball with his shin guards, the ball was not fast after refraction and the angle was not tricky, but Reinke just couldn't react...
In the final moments of the game, Li Qi was lucky enough to score another goal and also helped Esquillo get an assist!
Esquillo was also very happy, feeling that he had scored a goal. At least he got an assist and it was not embarrassing...
Everyone is happy! Except for Brother Larson... "Where's my assist?!"
In the end, Barcelona won 4-1 at home, and Li Qi also scored his first Champions League goal.

Before going to bed at night, Ricardo received congratulations from his parents, brother, Sarafina, Julian, Raiola, Pimenta, and a bunch of friends: Good luck, good fortune, chosen by the gods, good luck, good luck from the sky, shit from the sky...
Hmm? It seems like the words haven't changed at all? These people...are they too insincere?!
Should we look forward to Chiara’s MMS?
Um, Chiara has a cold? MMS has also become SMS...
The scumbag Ricardo decisively replied to have a good rest and drink more hot water, then fell asleep, without even thinking about rushing back to Milan to take care of the little beauty...
Even if the boss really doesn't approve the leave, you should still pretend?! It's also okay to be a fake Aquaman scumbag? I didn't expect Ricardo to choose the best scumbag mode: honest boy + scumbag = straight scumbag...
But the next day, Chiara received 10,000 Euros from Ricardo to buy medicine, as well as a fruit basket and flowers to brighten her mood; Chiara immediately forgave Ricardo for everything...
A straight scumbag is invincible when he has money!
……
In another Group C match, Udinese defeated Panathinaikos 2-1 in an away game.
During the game, it was raining heavily in Athens. It was more like a water fight than a rainball match between the two sides.
Panathinaikos took the lead in injury time in the first half. Leondio made a cross from the left, but the two Udinese defenders were unable to clear the slippery ball due to the heavy rain. Cypriot midfielder Charalambides took advantage of the opportunity 3 yards in front of the far goal and pushed the ball into the near corner with his left foot.
In the second half, Panathinaikos still had the opportunity to expand its lead, but unfortunately they failed to seize it and ultimately paid the price before the end of the game!
Udinese equalized the score in the 81st minute. In the penalty area under heavy rain, the two teams were in a melee. To say which team has more advantage in the rain, it depends on whether they are in the opponent's penalty area!
So Cotesios' clearance was blocked by Iaquinta into Panathinaikos' goal. Iaquinta, who just turned 25 yesterday, scored his fourth Champions League goal of the season.
Just two minutes later, Udinese reversed the score in the 2rd minute: former Roma midfielder Candela shot a powerful right-foot shot from 83 yards in the middle of the field into the upper right corner of the goal, and the ball went into the net like a cannonball: this was the first European goal scored by the Frenchman in 25 Champions League appearances...
In the end, Udinese relied on two goals 10 minutes before the end of the game to reverse the game and win the victory with a score of 2-1 away from home!
So with one round left in the Champions League group stage, just like what was said about the Chinese team, Udinese still has a theoretical chance to qualify: if Bremen beats Panathinaikos at home in the last round, Udinese must remain unbeaten against Barcelona at home, and Udinese will qualify; if they lose at home, only if Panathinaikos, which has already been eliminated, does not lose to Bremen can the Italians qualify.
But it seems to be better than Bremen? As long as Udinese remains undefeated in the last round, they will be able to qualify. At least their fate is in their own hands!
But why do the media feel that Udinese only has a theoretical chance of qualifying?
That’s because Barcelona’s recent state is really terrible!
But Barcelona has already secured first place in the group and qualified...
That depends on whether Rijkaard is playing with the first team or the second team.
If it's the second team that plays... then the black chicken might be in big trouble, after all, those bastards in the second team are all trying to perform well and get promoted!
If we play as a team, it would be better. Maybe we can have a tacit understanding that if I don't kick you, you won't score a goal...
