Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the European Champions Cup Eight heavyweight showdown brought to you by ESPN! The two sides are the opponents in last season's Champions League final, Barcelona and Nottingham Forest! Thanks to Tony. Coach Donn's actions and rhetoric after the final have caused the two teams to accumulate enough resentment over the course of the season, and now they can finally understand this feud on the football field! The commentator of ESPN in China described the match between the two teams as if it were a decisive battle in the Forbidden City in martial arts, but it is very suitable for the current relationship between the two teams.

Of course, Barcelona fans in China will not think that Nottingham Forest is a hero who can be compared to their own team. Quite a few Barcelona fans are interested in Tony. Tang En can be described as a person who "hates to the bone", and talking about it is not "gritting teeth".

The excerpt from ESPN China's commentary here is to illustrate that this quarter-final has attracted the attention of the world. After a long period of media hype, everyone is very interested in this "sequel" to last year's final.

Not only in England and Barcelona, but also in the wider United Kingdom, Spain, the rest of Europe, and countries in Asia, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, and South America, will be able to watch the game live via satellite.

The two teams played 1:1 in the first half,

So far, only two goals have been scored by both sides, with no red and yellow cards, no heated physical altercations, and no shouting from the stands...... There was nothing, and it really didn't deserve the pre-match description of this game -- "Martian ball".

The commentators prepared a stomach full of words to illustrate how exciting the game was, only to find it useless until now.

Tony. Donn is certainly not the kind of saint who sacrifices himself to fulfill others, and Rijkaard is a little lost temper by the Forest's stubborn defense. So now everyone is hoping that something will change in the second half. It doesn't matter who scores, who is sent off, or who goes off the pitch with a serious injury, it only takes one accident that can upset the current equilibrium. Then the second half goes without saying...... But that's wonderful!

"The second half has just begun. Unsurprisingly, Barcelona launched a fierce attack on the Nottingham Forest gate at their home stadium! They will be hoping to score as soon as possible...... Let's take a look at Nottingham Forest's countermeasures...... It's really disappointing, it's still lifeless stubborn, stubborn, stubborn! Tony. Was Done happy to be able to leave Camp Nou with an away goal? ”

The televised broadcast gave a close-up of Donn sitting in the dugout.

Don's previous smile was gone, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"Well, it looks like he's not satisfied......"

George. Wood didn't forget what Donn said to him at halftime, telling him not to stick to it and find a way to get the ball forward. But now it's not that he doesn't want to send forward, it's that Barcelona are attacking too hard. He has no way to take care of what is going forward.

Barcelona's attacking routine in the second half was more flexible, Ronaldinho was no longer the only core, if they looked at the Brazilians too much, they passed the ball to Messi or Eto'o, and Deco and Iniesta and Xavi were inserted in the back, and Barcelona's offensive was like the tide of the sea, wave after wave. One tide is higher than the other.

George. No matter how good Wood is, he can't be on the left, in the middle, and on the right at the same time, right? Thankfully, the whole team gave him plenty of support in the second half.

It is a stalemate and Barcelona are looking fierce but never a real threat to Nottingham Forest's gates. In most cases, Deco and others can only choose to shoot from a distance. Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi are closely guarded in both flanks, and the Forest are very good at doing this kind of compressed defensive work.

Barcelona had tasted what Forest did in the last final, and that defence allowed them to knock on Forest's goal until the end. This time, Forest had a full squad and no one was sent off. The goalkeeper is the main team Van der Sar, and the core of the defense is George. Wood presses the formation. Donn is confident of playing a counter-attacking game against Barcelona away from home.

He's going to tie up Barcelona's vaunted attack with the reinforced concrete defense he inherited from Italy, and then rely on his speed to kill them!

At the moment, it seems that the defensive situation is good, and it can withstand the Barcelona attack. It's just about the offense......

When the team was on the defensive, Ribery and Ashley. Young is on both flanks and occasionally involved in defence. Ashley. Young came back to defend a little more often, while Ribery couldn't do the same as his team-mates. Because as soon as he returns. Wood would glare at him, though he didn't say anything. But Ribery understood that.

Wood was worried that there would not be enough people in front of him, and he would not be able to get up to key figures when he needed to attack, so he would not let him return to defend frequently.

He actually wanted to tell Wood that he had no problem with his stamina and was fast, enough to support frequent sprints from the back to the front. But seeing that Wood was sweating, he opened his mouth and gave up on the idea.

Well, I'm just waiting in front of you, waiting for your passes......

Ronaldinho gets the ball, George. Wood leaned in. This time, instead of taking the ball down the middle, the Brazilian pulled it to the right, and he wanted to link up with Messi.

Wood followed Ronaldinho to the left and Messi immediately understood what his senior was going to do, and he was ready to receive the ball.

Wood is not a fool, he agrees to notice the next to Messi, with Ronaldinho or with Messi?

"George!" Bell called him out from behind him, and it was clear that the little monkey was faced with such a choice.

Wood waved his hand behind his back and motioned for Bale to fill in the middle and defend the wing himself. He decided that whether Ronaldinho passed the ball or broke through with the ball himself, he would follow him.

After Ronaldinho came to the wing, Messi ran past him, and at this moment Wood raised his guard, his eyes were fixed on the football, and Ronaldinho's feet circled, and he almost saved to break the ball. The football was not passed by Ronaldinho, Messi just made a false shot, but fortunately Wood did not move. Otherwise, it gives Ronaldinho a flaw for him to break through.

Messi ran empty. Bale is back to Messi. gauze

Neo didn't pass the ball at the first time, and he lost the opportunity to pass the ball again. Passing the football to Messi is not a good choice. It looks like he's going to take on Wood again on the wing.

In fact, Ronaldinho did plan to pass the ball to Messi at the moment when he crossed Messi, and then cut into the position himself. But when he saw Wood's staring at the football, he changed his mind when his foot was raised, and it was just a false shot.

In the first half, he won only once in several heads-ups, and he didn't want to leave it at that.

He's good at feints on the wings, especially what he's best at...... Oxtail!

Wood didn't know what he was thinking about his opponent at this point. He just stared at the football and didn't even look up at the expression on Ronaldinho's face at this time.

He stared at the football, staring at the ...... No matter how Ronaldinho's foot made a circle next to the football to interfere with him. He only recognizes football, and if football doesn't move, he doesn't move. He is not afraid of the passage of time at all, anyway, it is not himself who should be anxious, but Barcelona, who are eager to win. But at the same time. His body was like a taut string, as if it was about to shoot an arrow.

The soccer ball in front of me suddenly shook and was about to rush over the right side of his body!

Wood didn't hesitate to shovel to that side.

What about football?

He saw that the football was obviously coming this way, why did it just move. Suddenly, he changed direction in the air at 90 degrees and flew to the left side of his body?!

Before he could figure out the reason, Ronaldinho had already started to rush over the left side of his body!

"Oxtail! Wonderful! Wonderful...... Is there anything else we can say besides wonderful? No, language pale in the face of this extraordinary performance! That's right, it's a show! Elevate technology to the art of performance! ”

With the narrator not stingy with praise. There was a huge cheer at the Camp Nou and throughout the city of Barcelona...... Or rather, it was a demonstration and a warning to Nottingham Forest, which was intent on showing off its might on their plate.

We have Ronaldinho! He is a football spirit from God!

Someone on the Barcelona bench stood up and cheered for the dribble, all the while expecting the next goal.

At this point, whether Ronaldinho crosses in and shoots from a tight angle or passes, the chances of scoring are very high. Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi, and even Deco, rushed to the Forest goalkeeper for the first time.

And because Bell was ripped off, Wood was passed. Kompany and Pique, who were supposed to defend those men in the middle, had to split up one to fight on the wing. to stop Ronaldinho.

The situation in front of the goal of the Forest team is critical!

Piquet glanced back at Kompany and didn't hesitate to rush towards Ronaldinho. But as soon as he started, he heard a loud roar, like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding in his ears - "Go back!" Defend the middle lane! ”

Then he saw George, who had just been shaken by Ronaldinho, who had no center of gravity. Wood turned and pounced, his face hideous, as if he had seen the panther of his prey.

Frightened by Wood's expression and such a quick reaction, he did not withdraw to defend, but froze.

This is a good opportunity for Ronaldinho, Forest's central defense has been hollowed out by his breakthrough, there are three Barcelona players in front of the goal, there is no shortage of three points in the front, middle and back, as long as the quality of the pass is high, the possibility of scoring is very big!

He no longer hesitated and was ready to pass the ball with his feet.

At this moment, he saw Messi, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped, and looked at him in horror, as if he had seen something incredible.

You idiot...... What do you stand for? It happens to be on the same line as Pique, how can I pass it to you?

Ronaldinho scolded Messi in his heart for dropping the chain at a critical moment, but he completely forgot the danger around him.

Wood saw Ronaldinho on one leg high in the high-speed sprint, looking like he was about to pass the ball, and the supporting foot was still some distance from the football, which was the best and only chance......

"George. Wood - Fierce tackle! Oh! The narrator screamed as if he had been shoveled off the pitch by Wood.

Wood tackled the ball out as Ronaldinho prepared to pass the ball, but the uncontrollable momentum knocked the Brazilian out of the box and the two fell together in front of the billboard outside.

The Camp Nou gasped and then let out a roar at the same time: "Penalty!!" ”

The same voice was heard from Barcelona's bench. Rijkaard even stepped up and rushed to the sidelines, intending to cheer for the penalty.

But what did they see?

The linesman and the referee pointed at the corner flag at the same time!

Corner kick?

Corner kick!

Corner kick?!

Rijkaard jumped to his feet. It's a thunderstorm.

Barcelona fans are gone. The Barcelona players also stopped doing it, and Ronaldinho was still lying on the ground in pain, ready for Wood to settle the foul charge. As a result, after he saw the referee's gesture clearly, he jumped up directly from above, waving his arms angrily to protest the decision to the referee. His teammates had already rushed up to surround the referee for an explanation.

"The referee awarded a corner...... It's incredible, George. Wood: That tackle was so vicious, it looked so lethal, it was just a corner? Let's take another look at the replay ......"

During the replay, the moment was repeated several times in slow motion. It is clear that Wood tackles the ball first, and then knocks Ronaldinho out because of the huge momentum of the tackle. The referee awarded the penalty correctly.

"Well, it looks like a clean and nice tackle...... It's thrilling, if he had been a second late, I bet it would have hit Ronaldinho's right foot. ”

George. Wood was pulled up by Pique, and the Spanish kid was still patted on his thigh. He said with palpitations: "I didn't expect you to really shovel over......"

"Is there any other way?" Wood asked curiously.

"No, uh...... I mean, aren't you afraid of being awarded a penalty? ”

"I didn't think about it that much." Wood: The answer made Piqué not know what to say, should he say that this person is a master of art and bold, or is he simple-minded and well-limbed?

Bell pounced excitedly. Hugged Wood hard, mouth

"You've done a pretty job, George!" he yelled. You knew he was leaving, didn't you? ”

Wood pushed him away: "Alright, go guard corners." ”

Bale obediently ran away, and it was only then that Wood noticed Ronaldinho, who had been by his side all along. He was staring at himself with anger on his face. I guess I'm still angry that tackle wasn't a penalty, but a corner. He didn't want to pay attention, but was stopped.

"Hey, hey!" Ronaldinho doesn't speak much English and can only be questioned in Portuguese. "That's a foul! If you're honest, you shouldn't be celebrating here! ”

In fact, it was more like a self-talk complaint, and Ronaldinho didn't count on George either. Wood understands his own Portuguese.

Unexpectedly, when Wood heard him say this, he stopped, and then looked back at him. Apparently, he understood.

Wood just looked at Ronaldinho. In the end, he didn't say anything, turned around and ran away.

Barcelona's players were still unrelenting around the referee, and Rijkaard was even more emotional just now, which attracted the special attention of the fourth official.

He repeatedly reiterated to the fourth official that he was convinced that the tackle was a foul in the box and that a penalty should be awarded. The fourth official replied as if it were a robot with a set content, just repeating: "I believe in the decision of the referee on the field, not to mention that this is a decision made by the referee and the linesman at the same time, there will be no problems." Please calm down, Mr. Rijkaard. ”

Will he be able to calm down?

As if to provoke him, Donn jumped from his seat, raised his arms and cheered, before turning to the angry crowd of fans in the stands at the Camp Nou...... Not his middle finger, of course, he put his index finger to his mouth and pouted, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious - let the noise go on and the Barcelona fans gave him a little quieter.

Can Barcelona fans be quiet?

Don Enke didn't naively think so, he was just a provocation. As he had hoped, the stands behind the dugout were like erupting volcanoes, erupting with a huge blast aimed at Tony. Donn's boos and curses.

Of course, Rijkaard also saw it, and he pointed at Don and yelled at the fourth official next to him, "You calm that bastard down first!" ”

The fourth official also turned around to see Don provoking the Barcelona fans, so he threw down Rijkaard and ran quickly towards Donne, between Donn and the fans in the stands, to chase him to the away team's dugout.

"Be careful with your words and actions, Tony. Mr. Donne! "UEFA sent the fourth official with a gloomy face to remind Don who is still fighting against the fans." Don't get into trouble for us, and don't trouble yourself! ”

Donn finally put down his index finger and instead pointed to the agitated fans in the stands and said to the fourth official: "Those fans call my players a liar raised by a bitch, is there any provision in UEFA to punish and stop this?" ”

The fourth official was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "There is no ......"

Don whistled, "That's fair. Then he shrugged, turned and walked back. Behind him, there was still a non-stop shouting and invective, which seemed to be moved by a violent wind, coming towards him, trying to completely engulf his figure.

The direction in which he went back was face to face with Rijkaard, and the two looked at each other in the distance, and when Don saw Rijkaard, he approached him, and spread his hands to this opponent, tilting his head with a very helpless look. This action made Rijkaard's teeth itch with hatred. The Dutchman is not a man who likes to get into trouble with others, but when it comes to Tony. Don is a scoundrel, he can't always suppress the anger in his heart.

"This damn bastard!" He turned and slammed his fist on the roof of the dugout.

"Calm down, Frank!" The assistant coach, Dutch legend Neskens, who was older than him, had to be reminded of him. "You are the soul of this team, the leader, and you can't be provoked by the other party and lose your calm mind!"

"Sorry...... It's okay now. Rijkaard put his hands over his head and scratched his fingers in his pigtails.

Donne, of course, saw all of this, and although he couldn't hear the conversation between Neskens and Rijkaard, he knew that Rijkaard's heart couldn't really calm down.

His purpose was achieved.

Next, he can turn his attention back to the court. The scolding of those Barcelona fans behind him? Sorry, he doesn't understand Catalan.

As for the world-prevalent and easy-to-understand English words such as "**", his ears were automatically filtered......

Barcelona's players surrounded the referee and did not get the result they had hoped for. This time, the referee and the linesman were in agreement, and the referee didn't even have to run over to ask the linesman's opinion again, and firmly awarded the corner. He waved away the Barcelona players who were around him, telling them to hurry up and take a corner, or he might pull out a yellow card to warn someone who was still chattering.

This decision greatly affected the entire Barcelona team, and it hit their mood and morale to varying degrees.

Ronaldinho's corner was of low quality and the ball flew over the goal and was easily picked up by Van der Sar.

Nottingham Forest fans, who had been silenced by boos just now, finally heard them again. They sang lyrics made up on the spot, and put on a popular tune. "You've got Ronaldinho and we've got George. Wood! Your footwork is fancy and good-looking, and we tackle the ball fiercely and directly - no fouls! Lalala, no fouls! If you want a penalty, you can't do it, all! Not! Door! ”

Amid the high-pitched singing of Forest fans, Nottingham Forest, wearing yellow away shirts, launched an attack with a hand-tossed ball by Edwin van der Sar.

The Dutch goalkeeper's hand tossed the ball very far and almost directly past the midfield. Ribery appeared in the middle and he received the ball.

The defenders have done their job well, they have stopped several attacks from Barcelona and now it is the attackers' turn to play their part.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration, but I'll say it - long time no see, Nottingham Forest's attacking players!"
