It's like the golden birdcage closed the door and the dam on the river opened the gate. Leo finally reminded Barcelona's back line to close and surround Tevez-although he still thinks that it doesn't matter if he doesn't remind.

If it is difficult for Ronaldo to stand out from between the eight legs, Tevez can only add the word "more".

Tevez was eventually forced to make a mistake and handed over the ball to Barcelona-but this ball, neither the Jazz nor the other teammates can blame him for anything.

Abidal took the ball and handed it directly to Henry in the frontcourt.

Manchester United's offensive and defensive conversion speed is not slow, Henry did not have much time to adjust before he felt the oppression brought by Manchester United's defense - Henry felt this, and passed the ball to Eto'o on the wing.

Just to make a statement, he is not unwilling to play for Leo, but there is a Giggs between Leo and him, and there are Neville and Scholes who are close to Leo——Leo's ecological environment is too bad , Henry thought so.As he thought, he passed the ball to Eto'o, who had a bigger living space.

Eto'o took the ball, Vidic and Evra stuck in the past, Eto'o also realized that he was also in a very unfavorable living environment after both Henry and Rio - Eto'o did not have a very good chance Can pass a good enough attacking opportunity, but he still finds the opportunity to pass the ball back to Iniesta behind him.

After Iniesta took the ball, he realized that Manchester United's defense in the frontcourt was almost airtight. Although he didn't want to continue to dodge in the backcourt for no reason, he still had to hope to rely on this to open up. Manchester United defense.

Xavi played with Iniesta for a long time, and it didn't take him long to know what the other meant - he immediately stepped back and gave Iniesta the opportunity to continue to pass back.

Cristiano was waiting for an opportunity near the center line at this time. He saw Harvey taking the ball and hurried over to interfere - Tevez was not idle either. Cristiano used to participate in the defense, and he was too embarrassed to watch, so he quickly followed to help something.

But Tevez didn't help.

Tevez tried to stretch his leg to block Xavi's ball, but Xavi didn't let him - Xavi offered to allow Tevez to trip him.

Cristiano looked at Tevez sadly, and Tevez looked away.

Barcelona was able to retain possession of the ball.

However, although Barcelona got another round of offensive opportunities, this attack did not last long-Giggs came to interfere again with Harvey as a more experienced defender, and Harvey failed to protect the ball this time , Giggs got the chance to dial the ball out.

Scholes came to the side of Giggs and won the ball. After Scholes moved a few steps laterally, he passed the ball again to Rooney on the wing in front of him.

——“I don’t like playing against Barcelona very much.”

Rooney whispered to Cristiano before the game.

"Why? You don't like the Barcelona team?" Cristiano asked casually, playing with a dirty shoelace that had been replaced.

Rooney scratched his chin with a finger, thought for a long time before saying: "That's not true. After all, I only played one game against Barcelona. But I just don't like to play against them. I always feel that when I play against them I'm always very unhappy."

"Because Barcelona is stronger?" Cristiano asked after pondering for a while.

Rooney shook his head, "Not as good as Mourinho's Chelsea two years ago." He looked at Cristiano's hypersensitive expression, "Okay, I forgot you don't like Mourinho - I just think Barcelona are uncomfortable, but it has nothing to do with whether they are strong or not."

"Well, like Jorge, you're a bit allergic to them. I get it," Cristiano declared. "Then just beat them, so you can get over your symptoms."

Rooney scratched his chin and nodded in agreement.

Cristiano looked at Rooney's bewildered expression, and felt a little guilty for teaching bad children for a while, but fortunately, he killed the guilt in time.

——Rooney broke through with the ball, Carlos Tevez approached him from the middle to receive the ball, and Cristiano went into the penalty area from the other side.

But in front of the penalty area, in the process of Rooney's ball to Tevez, Puyol still succeeded in stealing the ball.

The Jazz began to feel a little anxious standing on the sidelines, and he began to feel unhappy with such meaningless offensive and defensive transitions.Mr Rijkaard was also anxious on the other side.

Mr. Rijkaard is very clear that the club did not replace him last season simply because they needed Guardiola to prove himself, and the time the club gave Guardiola to prove himself was also given to Mr. Rijkaard himself The ultimatum-the club is giving him one last chance to prove whether he can lead Barcelona.

If he can lead Barcelona to something different this season, then there is no doubt that he will retain his position, but if he can't, then he may not have to wait for the end of the season to hold a press conference early.

It's even possible that if he hadn't done anything at Camp Nou this game, the club would have been eager to let him say a respectable farewell to the media in a few 10 minutes.

But in this circle, farewell usually has one party that cannot be decent.

Rijkaard wants to win this game more than anyone else, more than anyone expects to tell others after winning this game, sorry, I don't want to be the head coach of Barcelona anymore.

Yes, Mr. Rijkaard doesn't want to do it.

It is always difficult to make a living in a wealthy family. If you cannot prove that you are a constant victorious general like Sir Alex Ferguson, or have the same unparalleled reputation and foundation as Sir Alex Ferguson, then you will inevitably be kicked out one day. -Mr. Rijkaard I realized this very early on.

But when things came to an end, he was not without complaints in his heart.

He can understand that the club likes loyal children, but he was actually not optimistic that Bojan could replace Leo from the very beginning—but he had no choice. He saw the strength of the club and Puyols, so he could only acquiesce , can only look forward to with them.Of course, Mr. Rijkaard does not have no opinion on Leo. He personally always believes that all the faults lie with Leo. If Leo does not insist on his attitude towards Ronaldo, no one will replace him with Bojan. ridiculous idea.

However, Leo proved one thing anyway: Barcelona, ​​at least at this stage, cannot do without him.

It was supposed to be a good thing, but it turned out to be the worst possible thing for Mr Rijkaard.

The club and Puyol will not admit his mistakes, they will only say that he was wrong-since he is wrong, he has to pay the price.

So Mr. Rijkaard is actually very clear that he must leave Barcelona-even if he wins today, or even if he wins the Champions League this season, it is just a dispensable reprieve.

Only when Mr. Rijkaard leaves Barcelona does it really mean that the public case between Bojan and Leo has become a thing of the past: the person responsible has paid the price, the mistake has been corrected, and it is time for everyone to look forward.

Thinking of this, Mr. Rijkaard was a little lost in thought.

——"Leo, we have to win." Mr. Rijkaard told Leo the day before the game.

Leo stopped straightening his clothes, turned his head to look at him, looked at him for a long time, and then whispered, "I always want to win, sir, because I just like to win. But why do you want to win?"

See, Mr. Rijkaard thought he had reason to dislike Leo too—the kid never knew how to be tactful, when it wasn't necessary to say too much, too clearly.

"I like winning too," said Mr Rijkaard.

Leo shook his head, "Sir, you don't have to lie to me, I understand what you mean. Sir, I think about how to win every day, but sir, I will not say "I will help you win" for other people's selfish desires— — I win, always just because I like it. "

"what differences are there?"

"Of course," Leo said, "I don't like to have people say that I ... say that I use winning as leverage at the table or as a tool for revenge."

"Who would say that?" Mr. Rijkaard sneered. "All victories in this world are weights and tools - we use victories to gain more benefits for ourselves, and we use victories to prove others wrong. Don't you ?"

Leo stood opposite Mr. Rijkaard, but Mr. Rijkaard felt that his gaze was thousands of kilometers away.

"No, sir," said Leo, "that's what people like us say. I've had victories to prove people wrong, but that's just a gift of victory, not the value of victory itself."

——Before Puyol had time to turn around with the ball, Cristiano came out of the penalty area without knowing when, fell to the ground and shoveled the ball to Rooney's feet.

Rooney froze for a moment, but at that moment he reacted very alertly and instinctively.

Rooney hits the goal.

0:1, Manchester United scored an away goal in Barcelona, ​​and the big score in the Champions League semi-finals came to 4:1.Manchester United don't need to do much, they just need to play normally and let the game time run out to advance smoothly.

This is beyond doubt.

Mr. Rijkaard looked at the watch on his wrist, then at the tall scoreboard at Camp Nou, and finally shook his head.
