The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 707 Return to the final
"Barcelona ~ reversal!"

"Barcelona ~ reversal!!"

"Barcelona ~ reversal!!!"

The entire Camp Nou stadium was filled with the voices of more than 9 Barcelona fans from the stands. Each of them used up all their energy to shout such a very simple slogan, which can even be seen from the big screen. It turns out that many young fans who may only be three or four years old are riding on their father's neck and shouting.

This is a very different game, and everyone knew it clearly before the game started.

Since the 0:5 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur a week ago, Barcelona fans have been organizing and brewing this game. Many Barcelona fan clubs and official members are responding positively. This game turned the Camp Nou into a strong backing for Barcelona's reversal.

Looking up, the stands around the Camp Nou stadium are full of people, densely packed like ants, but what is even more frightening is that their costumes are very neat, separated by red and blue, representing the red and blue of Barcelona The jerseys neatly appeared in every stand area of ​​the Nou Camp Stadium.

In addition, in addition to the main stand, on the second floor of the other three sides of the stand, many fans held up a yellow card, which is the color of Barcelona's away jersey, and the card forms the Catalan regional flag In addition, what is more important is to form a slogan, "Barcelona! Reversal! Barcelona!", which happens to be three sides of the stands.

The entire Camp Nou stadium has not yet started, and the fans are already shouting hoarsely. They only have one slogan, "Barcelona~Reversal!", everyone is shouting, without any noise, in the Camp Nou stadium Among them, you seem to be in a vast and boundless ocean.

The sound of the fans again and again is like a huge wave rising high in this vast ocean, swallowing you head-on and face-to-face.

For all Barcelona fans, they have no other choice. This is the best way and means for them to support the team. Fighting with this jersey gave them the courage and determination to reverse Tottenham Hotspur at home.

The shouts of more than 9 fans, and the commitment of each player to strive for a reversal when they faced reporters and the media before the game, all of these gathered in this game of only 10 and [-] minutes.

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona really suffocated to reverse the situation. They took the lead in taking advantage of their home court advantage and launched offensives against Tottenham Hotspur again and again, striving to win the opponent at home. .

Ye Qiu's team formation in this game also showed his caution and care in the away game. Petr Cech is the goalkeeper, and Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and a team with better defensive ability are in the back line. Kyle Walker, Vidal, Pirlo and Phil Jones in the midfield, Ribery, Cavani and Messi's trident combination in the frontcourt.

Passive after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur had made enough mental preparations before the game, so they didn't play in a panic, but continued to adopt tactics similar to the first round of the two sides, still blocking Barcelona's possession area between the two sides. The area around the center line has made the vicinity of the center circle the most intense stalemate area for the two sides to compete for the ball.

The Barcelona players also have the feeling of putting themselves to death and reviving. They stubbornly want to plan an offensive at their home court. They have changed their previous experience and lessons of not working hard enough and actively. After the first half, they desperately invested in the offense, desperately trying to create opportunities , almost spared no effort to run and press.

Under this kind of almost crazy pressing and oppression, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was ineffective at all and could only be on the defensive.

Although Barcelona had the advantage, they were still unable to effectively penetrate Tottenham Hotspur's defense, especially before Barcelona actively attacked the two wings, but this time Ye Qiu arranged for Kyle, who had better defensive ability and stronger body. Walker started, and there were always three players in the back line. In addition, there was an interception zone formed by Vidal and Phil Jones in the midfield. The defense did not become a problem. It was always difficult for Barcelona to find effective means of attack.

When Van Persie was frozen in the frontcourt, Barcelona's offense lacked penetrating power. They lacked the ability to attack, and could only be blocked by Tottenham Hotspur again and again in the center line.

The embarrassment seems to have been replaced by Tottenham Hotspur, and the Barcelona fans in the stands are also shouting crazily, because they think that as long as the team continues to play according to this trend, the hope of scoring is very high, even if it cannot be reversed, But at the very least, we must play Barcelona's momentum and restore the team's dignity and pride.

But all of this was declared shattered in the No.40 three-pointer.

It is still a diagonal attack, still a midfielder, Thiago Silva made a long pass to find Ribery, the latter used his speed to tear Puyol's defense, and a breakthrough was about to be formed, Puyol Had to shoot to bring Ribery down, got a yellow card and also gave Tottenham a free kick.

Pirlo personally took the penalty, and Kompany headed the goal from behind the penalty area. Goalkeeper Valdez reacted quickly and saved the ball, but there was chaos in the penalty area. Phil Jones grabbed the ball in the melee and shot vigorously Score, 1:0!

This goal before the end of the first half completely made all Barcelona players lose their fighting spirit and hope, because according to this score, they must score seven goals in the game to reverse the Tottenham fever Sting, this is almost an impossible task.

After the kick-off in the second half, the situation turned around. Less than 2 minutes into the game, Messi took the ball from the right and then cut in. He shot from the inside of his left foot and made another victory for the team, 2:0!

After scoring consecutive goals, Tottenham Hotspur played offensively, and Barcelona had completely lost their fighting spirit and began to switch to the defensive.

Ye Qiu appealed to the players on the sidelines to actively participate in the offense, taking advantage of Barcelona's unstable foothold, to try to score again, and Guardiola also quickly made adjustments, he had to choose defense to deal with it, and the game progressed to this situation Now, what he thinks is no longer a reversal to advance, but to preserve the dignity of Barcelona.

Realizing that the overall situation was settled, Ye Qiu didn't plan to take advantage of the victory to chase after him. Instead, he thought about giving the main players a rest, using the opportunity to train newcomers, and arranging substitute players to go on the field to find their status, and at the same time, reserve strength for the league.

So, Hazard and Raul came on as substitutes, replaced by Cavani and Messi, and at 10:[-] minutes, Ye Qiu knew very well that Barcelona had basically given up, so he wanted to play the last game. Substitution quota.

"Let Alves go!" Just as Ye Qiu turned his head and glanced at the bench, Roland Shepas, who was very familiar with him, walked up to him and reminded him, "This game doesn't let Alves go!" He started and he was upset."

"That's the team's tactical need!" Ye Qiu thought nothing of it. After being polished by Mauro Tassotti, Kyle Walker's defense is indeed much better than Alves', and his size and strength are also very good. That's right, his agility and speed are also quite good, so Ye Qiu arranged for him to play in this game to help the team defend.

"I know, but you also know, who wouldn't want to participate in such a focus battle?" Roland said with a chuckle.

Sometimes in the eyes of the coaching staff, the players are like a group of children. They will lose their temper because they don’t get the chance to play. At this time, you have to treat them like children, instead of being tough.

"Let him warm up and replace Kyle Walker!" Ye Qiu nodded. He is not an unreasonable guy like Ferguson, and he knows how to be flexible, because he knows very well that it is a good thing for players to want to play. , It proves that the players have fighting spirit and motivation.

As for the dissatisfaction of the players with the head coach, this is normal. When they don't get the chance to play, it is normal to have opinions. Slowly, when they get the chance to prove themselves, the relationship will naturally ease.

So after Alves warmed up, Ye Qiu directly arranged for him to play, and at the same time reminded him cautiously.

"Daniel, be careful, don't get another card!" This is one of the reasons why Ye Qiu arranged for Alves to be a substitute. If he gets another yellow card, he will miss the Champions League final, so the overall situation in the first round is set. Arranging Kyle Walker to start the second round is very reasonable, after all, it is for Alves to play in the Champions League final.

But after the Brazilian right back nodded to Ye Qiu on the sidelines, less than 2 minutes after entering the field, he pushed down the Barcelona midfielder from behind while defending Iniesta, causing himself to be called by the referee. Stern warning and got a yellow card, while Alves vented his dissatisfaction with the referee and Iniesta, thinking that Iniesta dived.

"Okay, that's enough, Daniel!" Thiago Silva rushed forward, grabbed Alves, who was about to put pressure on the referee, and continued to argue for himself, "You are crazy, are you crazy? Huh?" He almost growled at last.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the foul this time was intentional, and the subsequent quarrel was also intentional. He just wanted to let Ye Qiu and the coaching staff on the sidelines clearly know that he is very, very angry and dissatisfied now, because he does not want Sitting on the bench in such an important game.

It might even be like what the agent said, this is Ye Qiu putting pressure on behalf of the club, don't play if he doesn't renew his contract.

After being yelled at by Thiago Silva, Alves looked at the sidelines and found that Ye Qiu, who had been standing on the sidelines, and the coaching staff were all sitting back on the bench. For some reason, Alves felt a surge in his heart. A bit of fear, but he knew very well that, as the agent said, he had to express his attitude, a very firm attitude.

Only in this way can he fight for his due rights, because renewing the contract will be the last contract of his career, and Tottenham Hotspur also agreed to sign with him until he retires in principle, but the two sides There is no agreement on salary. Alves hopes to be higher than Messi and Ribery, or at least equal to him, because he does not have the high commercial income of these two superstars, but he feels that his performance on the court is not as good as They are poor, and their effect on the team is not inferior to them.

But Tottenham Hotspur are willing to give him a salary increase, but it is lower than the two players, at the same level as the team captain Thiago Silva, and they are both the first salary of the team. Great efforts have been made to help him promote his business profile and sponsorships, for example in his native Brazil.

The negotiations between the two sides have been deadlocked for more than half a year, Alves refused to make concessions, and Tottenham Hotspur also did not want to be outdone.

Originally, Ye Qiu would almost never get involved in such negotiations, because Tottenham Hotspur handed Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley the responsibility in this regard, and Ye Qiu only submitted a player's report. The evaluation and analysis report is used as their reference, but when the team considers the salary of the players, it is impossible to regard the performance on the court as the only reference factor, and other aspects must be considered.

Alves' turmoil Outsiders don't know what happened. They think that Alves is eager to make contributions after playing, and he is not rational and calm, and they feel sorry for him missing the final.

In No.70 and No.709 minutes, Tottenham relied on Franck Ribery's two breakthroughs from the left to create goals. They helped Raul and Hazard break through Barcelona's goal respectively, locking the score at 4: 0.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Barcelona 4-0 away, and sent the La Liga giants out of the Champions League with a total score of 9:0, and they entered the Champions League final.

This is also Tottenham Hotspur's return to the Champions League final after two seasons away from the Champions League final.

After the game, Tottenham Hotspur faded away the impact on Alves' turmoil, and also ignored Alves' sabotage after playing for more than 20 minutes, which was no different from disappearing. Celebrating the team's return to the Champions League final, all the excited people shouted the slogan of fighting for the championship in a high-profile manner when they were interviewed by the media on the sidelines.

In the stands of the Camp Nou stadium, the Barcelona fans were helpless, angry and even weeping. They had never suffered such humiliation. Without the power to fight back, is this still the mighty Barcelona a season ago?

Obviously, the fans are dissatisfied, and they even extend this dissatisfaction to the team's banner, Guardiola.

Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines and warmly hugged every player who walked off the field. Except for Alves, the Brazilians avoided Ye Qiu on purpose, maybe because of embarrassment, or maybe because they wanted to show an attitude, that is, An attitude of not regretting what you have done.

No one noticed this, and no one knew that Tottenham Hotspur had some conflicts within the team after the big victory. Except for Tottenham Hotspur's dressing room, they all knew what happened something, but no one will say.

…………

…………

Tottenham Hotspur returned to the Champions League final, which also became the focus of major newspapers around the world on the second day, but what shocked fans all over the world was the way they returned to the Champions League final stage, that is The nine-ball massacre of Barcelona is definitely a shockingly powerful attack.

From Naples in the knockout stage of the top [-], to AC Milan, and then to Barcelona, ​​Tottenham Hotspur's performance has been better round after round. Many media even believe that Tottenham Hotspur's state and performance It was arranged by Ye Qiu and the coaching staff before, because it was revealed by the media not long ago that Ye Qiu had drawn up a very detailed plan for the team to win the championship.

Ye Qiu denied this statement when he was interviewed by the media. He said that the situation of the team is changing rapidly, and the plan will never keep up with the changes. However, he also admitted that after years of accumulation, the team has indeed accumulated in many aspects. Gained a very rich experience, but also established a set of response mechanism.

But no matter what, Tottenham Hotspur's outstanding performance made them the number one favorite to win the Champions League this season. Even on the second day, Bayern Munich eliminated Real Madrid on penalties and entered the final , and occupied the home court in the final against Tottenham Hotspur.

This season's Champions League final was held at Bayern Munich's home stadium, the Allianz Arena.

But as many European football commentators have said, the home field advantage does have a certain effect, but in such a crucial game, who can have the last laugh depends on strength and on-the-spot performance.

The Champions League reached the final, allowing Tottenham Hotspur to withdraw from the two-line battle and start to devote itself to the battle for the Premier League, because after the last round of the Premier League, there is exactly one week before the Champions League final Time, Tottenham Hotspur still have a lot of preparation time.

After finishing the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, the team returned to London and went to Birmingham three days later to challenge the relegation team Aston Villa away. The team lost the ball precisely because of a paralyzed clearance by the main right back Alves, and the Brazilian performed very poorly throughout the game, scoring the lowest score in the game.

Ye Qiu even criticized Alves face-to-face in the locker room after the game. He believed that the Brazilian should reflect on his performance and attitude. Facing Ye Qiu's criticism, Alves did not dare to refute and remained silent. .

This draw was also Tottenham Hotspur's eighth draw this season, but it also caused the team to be overtaken by Manchester City in the standings. In turn, it fell behind Manchester City by one point and temporarily ranked first in the standings. second.

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Bolton 30:4 away in the No.1 four-round make-up match in the middle of the week. Alves didn't even make the squad for the game, and the outside world gradually realized that, There seemed to be conflicts between the Brazilian right back and Ye Qiu, so rumors of the Brazilian leaving the team gradually appeared in the newspapers, even though Tottenham Hotspur kept denying it.

Winning Bolton puts Tottenham back at the top of the Premier League, two points clear of Manchester City.

In the seventh round of the league No.30, Manchester City relied on Aguero and Dzeko's two goals in stoppage time at home to reverse the Queen's Park Rangers 3:2, while Tottenham Hotspur defeated them 2:0 at home. After defeating Fulham, the two sides continued to maintain a two-point gap, and the suspense of winning the championship was left to the final round.

Manchester City host Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur host Blackburn!
