"Uh... Can you hear me? ”

In the bustling stands at Zaragoza's La Romareda Stadium, Guardiola made a phone call.

"Well, I hear you, but louder!" Neskens replied on the other side of the phone.

Pep Guardiola looked around and got a ticket through Gerard Pique, who was now sitting in the Zaragoza fan phalanx, but the crowd of Real Madrid fans shouted so loudly that it was like a ghost.

"How's it going over there?" Neskens asked with concern.

"I'm getting ready to enter, it's about to start, but there are no rumored thunderstorms!" Guardiola sighed.

"Si it!" Neskens over there scolded, originally they were still expecting the thunderstorm to create a little problem for Real Madrid, who knew that the weather forecast was so unreliable, "You seem to have a lot of Real Madrid fans over there!" ”

"yes, all of them are like crazy, they don't even see the players and they are shouting, I really want to see them lose the championship!" Guardiola scolded indignantly, not only did he look at Real Madrid, but also the fans of Real Madrid.

The match was played at the same time, and Pep Guardiola was sent to Zaragoza to watch the game live, and the results were transmitted back to Barcelona as soon as possible, so that Rijkaard could be mentally prepared.

"Frank is asking, what is the lineup of the two sides?" Neskens asked.

"Well, Real Madrid's lineup has not changed much, it is still 4231, and the backline is Marcelo, Cannavaro, Ramos and Arbeloa, which are the main lineups of their last few games, and the double back is Ha... Alonso and Mascherano originally thought that Mascherano would be injured and suspended, who knew it was a smoke bomb! ”

"Grass he "set sail without watermark" Damn, cunning bastard!" Neeskens scolded, and he could hear it on the phone, and Rijkaard, who received the news, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"David, Silva is injured, Juan Mata plays on the left, Raul plays as a midfielder, David Beckham plays on the right, Villa plays the attack, and the main lineup is not too unexpected for us."

"What about Zaragoza?" Neskens asked.

"Goalkeeper Cesar has a throat, Herrero, Pique, Sergio and Diogo at the back, Aymar, Dalessandro, Zapatel and Serades in midfield, and Everton and Diego and Milito in the midfield."

After Pep Guardiola finished speaking, he did not forget to add, "According to the current situation, Zaragoza is also determined to win the Champions League, they are determined to attack the Champions League, this game is likely not to be tied up, after all, they also want to win."

Neeskens didn't speak, but he heard Rijkaard ask anxiously, "You mean, Zaragoza will attack?" ”

"I don't rule out the possibility!" Pep Guardiola said.

"Victor, Fernandez must be crazy! Has he forgotten how Zaragoza "beat Real Madrid" last season? Rijkaard was scolding.

In the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals last season, also at the La Romeda Stadium, Zaragoza swept Real Madrid 6:1 with Diego Milito's big four and Everton's brace, and the only goal for Real Madrid to score a face-saving goal was Baptista, which has become a shame for Real Madrid.

Everton's speed, Diego, Milito's intelligence, these two striker combinations are Zaragoza's counter-attacking weapons, and Zaragoza's defense is not bad, they can almost be said to have climbed to the current 5th place in La Liga with this defensive counter-attacking strategy. …,

If you give up this advantage, then Zaragoza is still playing fart?

"It's just a possibility, because Zaragoza have a big psychological advantage in this stadium, after all, it was "so shocking that it almost brought Florentino down." Guardiola said with a smile.

All Barcelona fans hope that last season's big win over Real Madrid at the La Romeradar Stadium would leave Luxemburg and even Florentino would be off the stage, and this time, it would be better to let Yang Cheng go out of class and let Florentino go straight down.

The combination of these two is terrifying!

One is good at getting money, the other is good at transferring and adjusting the team, the more time they are given, the stronger Real Madrid's strength will become, and even someone is shouting, with Real Madrid's current profitability and transfer investment, plus a Yang Cheng, over time, who else can stop them?

As Pep Guardiola reported the situation, players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, which immediately caused a thunderous cheer from the audience, and although it was an away game, the shouts of the Real Madrid fans were obviously going to overshadow Zaragoza.

There was also a movement of players coming out on the phone, and it was clear that the derby was also going to be played at the Camp Nou.

Almost on the front and back feet, the referee was heard half-blowing the whistle for the start of the game.

"Oh, no, Zaragoza started to be very conservative, all three lines were very tight, obviously still have to use Everton and Diego, Milito to counterattack, but Yang Cheng didn't let Real Madrid press too high, obviously also on guard against this."

Guardiola said what he saw into the microphone, but Real Madrid's active attack still made Zaragoza's back line very tight, after all, this Real Madrid's attack is very good, although the overall strength of the players is not comparable to the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, but the overall combat ability is stronger, especially in the last few rounds, the goals are flooding.

"It looks like Zaragoza's defense is in jeopardy!" Pep Guardiola originally had hopes for Pique, but when it came to the game, he couldn't help but find that Pique was very embarrassed in front of Real Madrid's attack.

In the same way that Real Madrid started the game aggressively, the same visiting team, the Spaniards started aggressively and despite their record of 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the last 10 derbys, they still attacked aggressively.

Just one minute into the game, Tamudo's long-range shot allowed Valdés to make a save, but a minute later, the Spaniard had another long-range shot that was a little off target.

Rijkaard stood in front of the dugout, frowning as the game progressed.

One of the things that best illustrates Barcelona's current problems is the dominance of the pitch.

At their peak, Barcelona had an outstanding dominance on the pitch, they could easily control the ball, let the game follow their rhythm, and let the opponent run after their ball, so that even if they couldn't score, the opponent didn't want to score, Barcelona could always win the game steadily.

However, in the second half of the league, especially in recent games, Barcelona's dominance has been declining, and to compensate for this, Rijkaard used Sergio Busquets this time, but the Academy youngster was lacking in protecting the defence, and the Spaniard's long-range shots were produced in this way.

However, Rijkaard is also well aware that this is only temporary.

As the game progressed, Barcelona gradually controlled the ball and gradually controlled the situation of the game.

Although Espanyol have De La Pena, a former Barcelona youth star and now a well-known midfield in La Liga, Rijkaard is still convinced that his team will be able to break Espanyol with attack. …,

However, after a strong attack in the opening stages, the Spaniards began to shrink their defence, learning from Zaragoza's tactics and playing counter-attacks, with Rijkaard's side starting to possess possession but never being able to threaten.

"Spaniards, like Zaragoza, are tough bones!" Rijkaard shook his head, at least in his opinion, Barcelona can't break through the Espanyol defense, and Real Madrid can't break through Zaragoza's iron wall, both teams are about the same.

But as soon as this thought floated in his mind, he heard Neeskens behind him jump up from his seat and scolded, "Grass he "set sail without watermark" Damn Real Madrid, scored! Then he waved his hand vigorously.

When Rijkaard heard this, he was stunned for a moment, turned around, and looked at his assistant.

"David Beckham's free-kick assist, Simos Ramos, this bastard has been like he's changed his head lately and scored another header!" Neeskens shook his head, he felt that he should let Guardiola scold Pique, this bastard actually let Ramos score above his head, is his height white?

Rijkaard stood on the sidelines, he didn't expect Real Madrid to score in the first minute, but Barcelona still couldn't find an effective way to break down Espanyol.

Walking to the sidelines, he gestured to Xavi and Sergio Busquets, signaling that they should continue to press and make Barcelona's defence a little higher as a whole.

"We're going to get the Spaniards in the back of the net as soon as possible!" Rijkaard shouted.

The Barcelona players on the pitch were unaware of the current situation and did not know that Real Madrid had become the temporary leader of the standings, so they were not in a hurry, but still followed Rijkaard's instructions, and the three lines began to press.

Pressing down on the attack did pay off, with the trident of Messi, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o all threatening and giving the impression that they were close to finding the back of the net.

But in the 32nd minute, De la Pena's straight pass after breaking the ball penetrated the defense of Puyol and Milito, and Tamudo, who had been ambushing, successfully countered offside, formed a single knife after receiving the ball, and after entering the penalty area, facing Valdés, he shot with a pick, and the ball went over Valdés's head and fell straight to the net.

"Wow!!!" The whole Camp Nou was fried

Tamu Duoxing rushed out of the forbidden area and jumped high at the corner flagpole to celebrate the celebration of the former Barcelona outcast de la Pena, celebrating the counterattack directed by the two of them, which is really beautiful!

Rijkaard felt like he had been punched in the head at this moment, and he almost fell to the ground, because he could clearly feel what kind of impact losing this game and losing the whole season would have on Barcelona.

Almost following Tamudo's goal, the Spanish striker's celebration was not over, Neeskens burst into a foul mouth again, Diogo made a mistake, Mata broke through the cross, Raul's header was crossed, Pique did not block Villa, who scrambled in front of the goal to score, Real Madrid 2-0 ahead of Zaragoza.

The whole world seemed to collapse in an instant, and Rijkaard rushed to the sidelines in a gaffe, yelling at the players, scolding them for their poor performance, and even shouting, "If you don't want to play, then he will "set sail without watermarks" and take off the jersey for me!" ”

The black swan has always given people the feeling of being gentle and elegant, and his demeanor in the game is even better than Yang Cheng's, and it is rare to see him have this kind of gaffe, but this also deters the players to some extent. …,

After the restart, Barcelona began to attack desperately, overpowering the Spaniards for a while.

Originally, with the strategy formulated by Rijkaard before the game, Barcelona's physical fitness was indeed very poor, and many players could not support the full minute of the game, so the strategy he had to adopt in the game was to play steadily and steadily, using the advantage of possession to slowly devour the Espanyol.

But now the situation is different, Real Madrid scored first, Espanyol also scored first, everything forced Barcelona to change their strategy, Rijkaard if he didn't want to lose the whole season, he had to reverse Espanyol, he had to attack, he had to attack like crazy.

In this case, Rijkaard can't take care of any physical collapse crisis, what defensive hòu degree is insufficient, etc.

This kind of crazy attack allowed Barcelona to completely suppress the Spaniards on the field, and even allowed Barcelona to hit 10 shots in one go, although they didn't hit, but the advantage was obvious.

In the 44th minute, Abidal dribbled the ball on the left side and crossed to the bottom line, the ball fell to the back post, Messi cut in, the Argentine short star jumped high, but obviously couldn't touch the ball, but he used his right hand fist to grab the goalkeeper Kameni and smashed the ball into the goal.

After landing, Messi turned and ran as if he had put his head into the ball.

Rijkaard also clenched his fists and cheered Although he saw Messi waving his arms, but in this case, he couldn't care about everything, he only had one thought in his heart, just let the ball go in!

Espanyol's goalkeeper Kameni and the backline players were chasing the referee and they both clearly saw Messi's hand of God, so they were all well aware that this should not be a goal, but a deliberate handball action.

But the Barcelona players also rushed up, and the two sides had a verbal battle around the referee, and even Puyol almost played with Tamudo, but in the end, the referee still ruled that the goal was valid.

Affected by the goal in the last minute of the first half, coupled with the half-time break, hearing that Real Madrid was no longer ahead of Zaragoza, Barcelona held their breath and launched a fierce attack on the Spaniards at the beginning of the second half, vowing to break the Espanyol goal again.

In order to win this game, Barcelona attacked almost frantically, and even they did everything, as long as the referee made an unreasonable half penalty to Barcelona in the game, they caught up and put pressure, surrounded the referee and half, and even competed with the Spaniards many times for this, and the scene was very hot.

Especially in the 49th minute of the second half, when Real Madrid scored another goal by Raul and made the score 3:0, Barcelona knew very well that they had to win, they had to win this game.

This game at the Camp Nou immediately became full of gunpowder, the players on both sides were originally rivals of each other, and there were hands of God and many disputes in the game, which was already tense, and as the game time passed, Barcelona became more anxious, and the actions of the players on both sides were inevitably bigger, so the yellow cards on the field were frequent, and the whistles came one after another.

However, it interrupted Barcelona's dominance of the game, and as their fitness plummeted, the Spaniards had a couple of dangerous counter-attacks.

But in the 67th minute, Barcelona launched a counterattack, Xavi midfielder received a return pass, the first time to pass the ball into the penalty area, Messi, who has entered the penalty area from the right side, suddenly fell to the ground when facing the defense of Espanyol defender Zika, rolled a few laps, hugged his left leg, and looked very painful. …,

Zika raised his hands for the first time, signaling that he didn't make any movements, and he didn't get off his feet, judging from the slow-motion replay, Zika did not have physical contact with Messi, the latter was purely too anxious when he took the ball, and after stopping the ball a little big, he saw that he couldn't catch the ball and fell directly to the ground.

In other words, it's a fake fall!

The Barcelona players immediately rushed up and immediately surrounded the referee, who were clearly arguing with reason, thinking that it should be a penalty and that Zika should be given a yellow card.

The referee couldn't stop backing away, the Barcelona players were hurrying step by step, and the Espanyol players were chasing after him.

But in the end, the referee, who calmed the mood of both sides, came over and gave Zika a yellow card and Barcelona a penalty.

Messi jumped up from the ground, cheered excitedly for "set sail without watermark", and ran over to take the penalty, which was achieved overnight, no,!

The referee was clearly aware of the problem, and after Barcelona's goal, he walked over and asked Messi, but the latter pointed to his leg and seemed to say something like it still hurts, but the matter ended up being closed.

In this way, Barcelona reversed the Spaniards 2:1 in the 68th minute with Messi's penalty.

At the same time, at the La Romeda Stadium, in the match between Real Madrid and Zaragoza, Beckham's direct free kick rewrote the score to 4:0 for Real Madrid.

Although in the final moments, Diego and Milito's goals helped Zaragoza save some face and lock the score at :4, but in the end it could not prevent Real Madrid from winning the game.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Yang Cheng almost immediately called Paulo Bayer, who was far away at the Camp Nou in Barcelona, to ask about the results of the game, but what came from the microphone was a cold number: 2:1!

In an instant, Yang Cheng threw the mobile phone in his hand directly on the grass out of control, and the battery and back cover were broken into the body, but he turned around and walked out of the coach's seat with an angry expression.

At the same time, the fans in the stands and the players on the field also received the news, and they all collapsed one by one!

Many Real Madrid players sat paralyzed on the grass, almost every player couldn't help crying, and many Real Madrid fans in the stands also cried.

They chased it for so long, and in the end they still lost!

This match could not be reversed, and the final round was almost impossible!

Counting on Tarragona to beat Barcelona is a dream!

The entire La Romeda stadium was in a state of sadness, and no one noticed that Redondo's cell phone was ringing in the away dugout.
