Madrid fans watched it very well.

Most people in the Madrid region are fans of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and some like Vallecano and Getafe. Very few people fall in love with teams from other countries, but this does not prevent them from watching the Barcelona vs. Munich 1860 It was a pleasure to watch the game.

Partly because they loved seeing the Catalan flag unlucky, and partly because it was Portillo who had just scored.

Born in Madrid, grew up in Madrid, became famous in Madrid, the pedigree flowing in Portillo's body is very pure, just three words: Madrid.

The coaches of the national team always cast their eyes on the giants first. In recent years, the second Barcelona dream team has been full of spirits, so more and more players from Barcelona have been selected for the Spanish national team, gradually breaking the original two giants of La Liga in terms of numbers and strength. On balance, in the latest national team squad announced by Spanish coach Aragones, the number of players selected by Barcelona is even twice that of Real Madrid.

Moreover, Raul, the former captain of the Spanish national team and the current captain of Real Madrid, has been abandoned by Aragones since the World Cup in Germany last year, and has not been called up for more than a year.

Under such special circumstances, Portillo is even more important, because the fans hope that he can become the new leader in the national team and fight for the Madrid region.

Just like how Shao Jiayi performed well in Germany, Chinese fans are honored as well, and the current Madrid fans feel the same about Portillo. Many of them regret it now: I would have known that UEFA I grabbed one when the tickets were sold, even if I just went to the scene to see the uncomfortable expressions of those Barcelona fans, the tickets and airfare are worth it!

But even if they really go back in time, these fans may not be able to grab tickets. Although the Nou Camp Stadium has 1860 seats, it is not enough for Barcelona and Munich [-] fans.

As the flag of Catalonia, Barcelona has more than 15 club members this year, almost double the 8 members of Real Madrid. A stadium of 10 people is naturally not enough for them.And Munich fans are not short of money. If it weren't for the fact that 1860 received too few tickets for each away game, the Lions fans would have transformed all away games into home games.

……

Biting boos erupted at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona's opponent who scored the first goal at home was actually a Madrid native, which made the red and blue fans very dissatisfied. Their expressions were filled with strong dissatisfaction, and they frantically yelled at the 11 Lions players in the field, angry It was as if they were going to swallow these eleven people alive into their stomachs.

The home atmosphere at the Nou Camp is really scary.

However, the players of Munich 1860 have to experience such a devil's home field several times every season. It is no surprise that they have experienced more. Not only did they cooperate with each other and the speed of their feet, they didn't even raise their eyebrows. lift.

In the 11th minute, after Munich 1860 launched several consecutive offensives, Barcelona also created a chance to counterattack: Santos made an exquisite stop in the frontcourt and then cut in the middle. Suddenly the goal was lifted and the football missed the crossbar.

Although the goal was not scored, it was still a threatening shot, which had a deterrent effect on the Lions. The players of Munich 1860 all raised their vigilance, and the Barcelona players also secretly rubbed the offensive line just now, thinking about looking for opportunities to come again once.

But not everyone is so single-minded, only thinking about the game.

There is a little dissatisfaction in Eto'o's heart.

Just now when Santos cut the pass inside, both he and Ronaldinho were in the middle, but Ronaldinho was a little faster than him, so he was able to receive the pass first.

When Ronaldinho drove to the right side of the penalty area, Eto'o did not stop, but broke through with him, because he felt that Ronaldinho's position after getting rid of the 1860 defenders was a bit too biased, and he was almost hitting the bottom line. The angle there is too wide to be a good shooting angle, so the opponent may not be able to pass the ball back to the center.

But Ronaldinho didn't pass the ball to anyone, but directly raised his foot and shot.

The moment he saw the football flying towards the goal, Eto'o stopped his footsteps.

He watched the football fly and fly, and finally missed the crossbar-the goalkeeper of Munich 1860 didn't even bother to save it, because the closer the football flew to the goal, the more people would see it. The ball was picked too high.

So Eto'o blamed Ronaldinho for wasting the opportunity.

What Eto'o lacks most today is an opportunity.

In 2007, Eto'o was unlucky. He spent more than half of the year lying on the hospital bed to recuperate from his injuries. After recovering from his injuries, he continued to recover and exercise endlessly. Rijkaard worried that he was not in good condition and rarely let him He started the game, so not only did Eto'o have fewer chances to play this year, but the number of shots can also be checked.

If a person who eats radishes and cabbage all the year round sees someone dumping a whole table of delicacies one day, he must be angry. In the eyes of Eto’o now, he is the one who eats radish and cabbage. And Ronaldinho is the one who wasted food.

So the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help but muttered at the moment when he turned around: "It's a waste of opportunities, damn it!"

……

What do the head coaches do more when commanding on the spot?

observe.

Observe not only your own players, but also your opponent's players.

Karl just glanced into the penalty area, and happened to see Barcelona's core Eto'o, who had recuperated for almost half a season and only returned in this game. The opponent seemed to turn around and said something angrily. .

Carl, who thought he couldn't read Eto'o's mouth, could understand what the other party said!

Because Eto'o speaks French!

Although "Super Black Pearl" was born in Cameroon, Africa, Cameroon has been colonized by Britain and France since the First World War. Even after independence, the residence of the nationals is divided into English and French, and the official languages ​​are these two. Eto'o was born in the French-speaking area.

If Eto'o spoke Spanish, then Karl might not be able to do anything about it, but he spoke French!Carl, who often flies to France for shopping, is also very familiar with this language, and daily communication is by no means a problem.

What wasted, damn it?

Combined with Eto'o's expression and actions just now, is he complaining that Ronaldinho is the king of shooting?

The thought jolted Carl's mind.

When collecting information before the game, Carl saw many Spanish media say, "Maybe because he slept on the sick bed for too long, Eto'o's personality became more extreme and weird after he recovered from his injury." , and Karl also understands that men who are at a low ebb in their careers are more likely to become grumpy, impulsive and irritable than usual.

It's just a teammate's shot error in exchange for such a big reaction from Eto'o... Maybe there is something to do in the middle?

……

After Ronaldinho's shot went wide in the 11th minute, Barcelona had two more chances to attack.

One was done by Santos and the other by Xavi.

Unfortunately, Barcelona still failed to change the 0:1 score on the field.

Slowly Eto'o grew impatient and began to reach for the ball.

Since joining Barcelona in 2004, Eto'o has made great contributions to the club and earned himself the reputation of "Super Black Pearl". He can be regarded as a meritorious player of this Catalan team. There is a huge place in the heart.

So even if the relationship between Eto'o and the team began to deteriorate this year, he first bombarded his teammates for being lazy in training and only had money in his eyes, and then bombarded the head coach for saying bad things about him to the media. The locker room, but the current chairman Laporta stood behind him for a while, supporting Eto'o, giving him support and continuing to stabilize his position.

It is precisely because the status of the "locker room leader" has not been shaken, so when Eto'o reached out for the ball, even if the angle and position of the player holding the ball were not good, they tried their best to pass the ball to him.

In the 33rd minute, Harvey steals the ball from the frontcourt and inserts it at high speed. Millito steps forward to catch the ball and then ferry the header. Eto'o adjusts his posture outside the penalty area, and directly hits the goal with a heavy kick before the football hits the ground!

The football was swept by the wind and flew to the blind corner on the left side of the goal like lightning!

Koch took off and stretched out his hand to block it. The football hit his palm so hard that he bent half of his hand and forced his way into the goal!

Eto'o roared like a cheetah.

The Camp Nou echoed him: "Eto'o! Eto'o! Eto'o!"

Koch landed, glanced back at the still-vibrating net, took off a glove and looked at it, his entire left hand was red from the force he had endured.He bent his fingers and found that his flexibility was not affected except for a little pain and numbness, so he didn't care, put on the gloves again, and went into the goal to catch the ball.

……

Unable to maintain the lead until the end of the first half, the Lions players were a little frustrated.

Even more annoying was the shift in morale: their opponents, Barcelona, ​​had begun to regain their sense of territory and become aggressive because of the equalizer.

Many players turned their eyes to the outside, to ask the boss for comfort.

This is their habitual action-the boss always has a calm expression when he is on the spot, but the players can always find what they want from that seemingly plain expression, find a smile when they are leading, and see encouragement and impatience when they are behind get calm.

But this time, Carl made a few simple gestures in addition to giving them a confidence-boosting smile.

Focus on taking care of Eto'o, this is the instructions received by the Lions defenders.

Both Ronaldinho and Eto'o are the best forwards in the world, but they only "take care" of the latter one?

Some people couldn't figure it out for a while, but they didn't rack their brains to continue thinking about it, because——since it was the boss's instruction, it didn't matter whether they understood it or not, they just followed it.

So in the next 10 minutes, the defenders of Munich 1860 shook their spirits. Whenever Eto'o took the ball, they tried their best to steal the ball from the opponent's feet, and did not give the opponent a chance to dribble the ball close to the penalty area.

This kind of special treatment is something that a striker doesn't want to have. Eto'o was blocked one after another, and he became more and more angry.

The first half entered the stoppage time period.

Owen waded through the midfield and gave it to Ozil. Ozil quickly knocked back. Owen cut in from the right and tried to hit the goal from a small angle outside the penalty area, but was saved by Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes.

Barcelona ushered in the last chance to counterattack in the first half, and they launched a quick attack.

From wing to center to wing, Xavi found a hole in the Lions' defense and quickly poked the ball to striker Santos.

After taking the ball, Santos forced a breakthrough into the penalty area, then raised his right foot and volleyed. The football bypassed Dante, Hummels and other defensive players, but was blocked by Koch's sudden fall to the ground!

The football hit Koch's arms and bounced back, flying back to the middle of the penalty area.

Ogo raised his foot to make a clearance, but because his body was hit by someone when he exerted his strength, he failed to kick the ball out of the baseline, but just outside the penalty area.

Eto'o flew towards the football landing point, trying to catch up.

Mertesacker guessed his intentions when he saw the opponent's movements, and immediately followed.

Eto'o received the ball, stopped the ball, turned and raised his foot to shoot.

Mertesacker just felt at this moment that he blocked the route of Eto'o's shot with his whole body.

The two were in a stalemate with each other, and there was a momentary pause in their movements.

Just in this one breath, Hummels has rushed to the horse and kicked the ball back to the middle.

The whistle for the end of the first half sounded just at this time.

Eto'o was furious, and he was so angry that he didn't even want to kick Mertesacker.

The sneakers kicked Mertesacker's waist and abdomen fiercely. Mertesacker took two steps back while covering his stomach, and sat down on the ground.

"Foul! Foul! Foul!" Munich 1860 fans shouted angrily.

The Lions players on the field immediately became agitated. Some of them went to Lammertesacker, and some surrounded Eto'o.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Barcelona players also ran over.

Players from the two teams huddled face to face and quarreled with each other. Everyone raised their arms and tensed their nerves, as if they could fight at any time, and the tension was on the verge of breaking out.

"He actually hit someone!"

"Serious foul!"

"Red card!"

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"Eto'o didn't do it on purpose!"

The referee ran over and asked how Mertesacker, who had stood up from the ground, was feeling, then heard a few words from both players, then walked up to Eto'o and showed him a yellow card .

The players of the two teams seemed to have accepted the result of the penalty, and they gradually dispersed and walked off the field.

Eto'o seemed a little dissatisfied, he turned his head and cursed "Fuck!".

Although he was cursing with his back to the referee, there were voices.

The referee heard it, but he just frowned and pretended he didn't hear it.

Today is Barcelona's home game, and he still wants to give the home team this face.
