When Barcelona's plane landed at Manchester Airport, the entire airport was boiling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A large group of red rebel jerseys arrived at the airport to wait for the arrival of the Barcelona plane, and they even held up all kinds of banners insulting and mocking Barcelona in the parking lot and at the entrance of the airport to show their hatred of the team.

Every time, the Red Rebels against Barcelona can always cause too many topics!

If in the past, when the Red Rebels were dominant, it was more Barcelona fans who hated the Red Rebels, then since the 07/08 season, Barcelona eliminated the Red Rebels in the last 8 knockout rounds, they have also become the sworn enemies of the Red Rebels fans.

According to the president of one of the Red Rebels' official fan clubs, "They can beat us, but they have to be on the pitch, above board, and not in the same despicable and unseemly ways!" ”

The feud between the Red Rebels and Barcelona is well known, which makes it a bit surprising that the two teams were placed in the same group at the group stage, but this is football.

Hleb and Abidal sat on the bus, looking at the crowd of Red Rebel fans outside, and they were a little embarrassed in their hearts, once upon a time, these fans were all supporting them, but now, one by one, they have become their enemies.

There is another person on the bus, that is, Spain's leading goalscorer Villa, as the favorite of the Red Rebels fans in the past, but now he has taken on the task of attacking the Barcelona team, and Villa will undoubtedly be drowned in the saliva of the Red Rebels fans.

This sentiment is widespread, and in European football, where the transfer system is developed, it is all too normal for players to go back and forth.

Pep Guardiola sat at the front of the bus, his eyes closed, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

He used to be the limelight in defeating the Red Rebels, but now that he encountered the Red Rebels again, his confidence was weaker than at the beginning, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"What if I lose this game? What if you lose too ugly? "Rijkaard was fired because he lost a crushing defeat to the Red Rebels, will he do the same?

But Guardiola can only bury this kind of mind in his heart, he can't show a little cowardice!

"The players look a little nervous, Pep!" Assistant Tito? Villanova glanced at the bus and said worriedly.

When Guardiola returned to Barcelona to coach the B team, Villanova was the technical director of the third-division team Traça, and he also coached many teams in the lower leagues, but when he received Guardiola's invitation, he did not hesitate to choose to join Barcelona.

Villanova coached Barcelona's youth team in the 02/03 season, players such as Pique, Cesc Fabregas, and Busquets were all cultivated by him at that time, and players such as Pedro were also valued by him and introduced after following Guardiola into the Barcelona B team, which made Barcelona's academy very strong.

But compared with the Red Rebels, Villanova has to admit that Barcelona still has a big gap.

Pep Guardiola turned his head, looked at the bus carriage with a somewhat frozen atmosphere, shook his head, sighed, and did not speak.

No team will be happy when the opponent is the Red Rebels, especially when they play away from home.

With Barcelona's strength, it can definitely call the wind and rain in La Liga, but when it comes to Manchester, the Red Rebels needless to say, Manchester United, De Roysden, and Manchester City are all Barcelona's sufferers, which makes Barcelona feel a kind of pathos that there is no return, as if they will be carried out of Manchester.

The bus drove into the city of Manchester due to the interference of Red Rebel fans along the way.

Upon arrival at the hotel, Pep Guardiola arranged for his players to go to their respective rooms before starting their first training session in the afternoon for the next day's game against the Red Rebels, while he himself and his assistants hid in their rooms for the final tactical discussion.

There was still only one point in the discussion, that is, how to fight the Red Rebels?

"Defend!" Someone suggested, "With the Red Rebels' excellent record of scoring 19 goals in five games without conceding half a goal, coupled with the fact that the main players such as Ronaldo, Kaka and Aguero have returned in this round, I don't think it is a good idea to play against the Red Rebels away from home." ”

"Shou? Can it be kept? Another person next to him asked rhetorically, and the person before was suddenly speechless.

yes, against the Red Rebels, on the defensive, okay?

The Red Rebels team has a very headache contradiction, the spear is the sharpest spear in the world, and the shield is also the strongest shield in the world.

'Since last season, the Red Rebels have been very quick in attack, with Sergio Aguero, Kaka, Lionel Messi and Ronaldo all being good at that, so we have to shrink as much as possible at the back to make sure we don't give them too much space.

"Everyone knows that against the Red Rebels, space is equal to conceding a goal!"

Villanova's analysis is also quite decent, although he did not directly say the way, but it also woke everyone up, the most terrifying thing about the Red Rebels is their ability to open up space.

"Shrink defensively, Victor has been in good shape lately!" Pep Guardiola reminded.

Victor? Valdés, Barcelona's main goalkeeper, has had a mixed record in previous seasons, but after Pep Guardiola came to power, his position has been consolidated and his performances have gotten better and better, and so far this season, he has not conceded a goal for 570 minutes, and his performance has been very good, overshadowing Real Madrid's Casillas.

Guardiola finalized the matter, and the assistants naturally couldn't force his will, so they nodded one after another.

"In the midfield, Busquets, Keita, Xavi, Iniesta and Pedro can all start, and the single striker still uses Villa to ensure the stability of the back line to the greatest extent, and uses Villa, Pedro and Iniesta to counterattack in front."

Although Barcelona's defense looks weak, they are actually not vulnerable, they have not conceded a goal in La Liga so far this season, and they are the only two teams in European football so far that have not conceded a goal, one is the Red Rebels in the Premier League and the other is Barcelona in La Liga.

However, in terms of goals, Barcelona is not as good as the Red Rebels!

The outside world has generally paid great attention to the contest between these two teams, and it has become the most unbreakable shield in today's football to see who can break through the opponent's defense.

"Barcelona is strong? No, it was in Spain, they were playing against a La Liga team, and if it was in the Premier League, their strength should be greatly reduced. ”

On the TV in the hotel room, the voice of Mourinho being interviewed attracted the attention of Pep Guardiola and others.

This is the first game of the Red Rebels in the Champions League this season, and they did not expect that the opponent is the sworn enemy Barcelona, which naturally attracted close attention from all parties, and even countless media around the world sent a team to Manchester in person.

"The most dangerous player in Barcelona's squad? That must be Villa! Mourinho looked confident, "I've worked with Villa for many years, I know this player very well, I know his ability, he is the kind of striker who has a very keen sense of smell, he is very good at seeing the seams, such an opponent is very dangerous and deadly! ”

'Xavi and Andres Iniesta are not as strong as they are rumored to be, and I think the best way to beat Barcelona is not to make a move, but to stick to the football philosophy that belongs to our Red Rebels, which is more important than anything else!

"This posing bastard!" Villanova scolded with some indignation.

Jose Mourinho is particularly fond of giving media interviews before the game, which puts all kinds of pressure on the opponent's preparation, especially before some key tournaments, and he will do everything possible to fight psychological warfare to confuse the opponent and set up doubts.

Villa is indeed an indispensable and important scoring tool in this Barcelona team, Mourinho's words are plausible, no one can figure out what he is thinking in his heart, the only thing that is certain is that this game will be very difficult to play.

........................ "During Barcelona's training session this afternoon, at least 100 Red Rebel fans gathered outside the training ground, and they did everything possible to create all kinds of momentum in an attempt to prevent and disturb Barcelona's quiet preparations! ”

Then, the TV screen showed the scene of the Red Rebels fans making trouble outside the Barcelona training ground, although these fans did not make a big fuss, but they created a lot of momentum, especially when the Barcelona bus was about to enter the training ground, the fans chased the bus and shouted.

"We're just giving back in the same way, when we went to Barcelona, they even did everything possible to get the fans outside our hotel, so that our players couldn't even sleep, and now we're just repaying them in the same way."

A fan who was interviewed by reporters in an open and honest manner smiled triumphantly.

"Do you have confidence in the Red Rebels for the next game?"

"Of course, we are proud Red rebels, and the despicable Barcelona will never try to beat us, even if they are eliminated that time, they will only rely on two draws and that one penalty that was deceived by despicable means."

"In addition to creating a noise outside the training ground in the afternoon and affecting Barcelona's preparations, Red Rebels fans also raided the hotel where Barcelona lived at night, but surprisingly, the hotel staff seemed to acquiesce to this practice of Red Rebels fans, and even some staff secretly connived at the fans to come to the floor where Barcelona lived."

"The Red Rebels have officially clarified that this is just an irrational approach by some fans, and that the Red Rebels do not encourage this kind of behavior, and at the same time call on fans to stop this irrational behavior."

Walsh, the general manager of the Red Rebels, appears in the picture, "We are the Red Rebels with pride and dignity, we will not play that kind of despicable means like others, if we want to beat Barcelona, then we will defeat the opponent on the football field, openly." ”

The screen changed again, switching to an interview with Red Rebels manager Jose Mourinho.

"Oh, no, please, lovely and kind fans, don't do it, otherwise, we are creating a reason for Barcelona to lose, and then they will complain, oh my God, we were so noisy that we couldn't sleep because we were in the hotel, so we lost the next day!"

"I don't want to give Barcelona any excuses, I want to beat Barcelona in front of the Red Rebels fans!"

As if the appeal of the club and Mourinho had done its job, the rioting fans quickly calmed down, and the Red Rebels even went so far as to show their integrity by asking the police to protect the hotel where Barcelona was staying.

However, this series of actions before the game has, to a certain extent, further catalyzed the fierce atmosphere of the game.

In the park of the Red Rebels Stadium before the game, when the Barcelona bus drove into the Red Rebels Stadium, thousands of Red Rebels fans at the scene gathered to attack, seeing their posture, if it were not for the stadium's security personnel to stop them, they might rush over and overturn the Barcelona bus.

But although there was no chaos, the crazy behavior of the Red Rebels fans still made Barcelona feel a burst of heart palpitations.

This was already the case before the game started, so what happens after it starts? If we accidentally win against the Red Rebels, wouldn't that be a cause for a lot of confusion among the fans?

Whether to win or not to win is two words, but once the players have such an idea in their hearts, it is equivalent to a burden.

Completely different from Barcelona's treatment, when the Red Rebel bus arrived at the stadium, all the fans at the scene immediately remembered the overwhelming cheers, as if they were welcoming the Queen of England to the grand and grand.

Not to mention, this match also attracted countless dignitaries, including Prince Charles's father and son, as well as a series of high-ranking officials such as the British Prime Minister, who all gathered at the Red Rebels Stadium just to catch a glimpse of the most watched match in the first leg of this season's Champions League.

Frightened outside the stadium, entering the stadium, listening to the tsunami-like sound in their ears, the little more daring will weaken their legs, even if it is just a warm-up before the game, the Red Rebels fans simply want to drown the Barcelona players alive with saliva.

"Is this the Red Rebels' devil's home turf?" Ukrainian centre-back Ziglinski, who has just moved to Barcelona this season, can't help but be a little scared, but he has never experienced such a battle.

"Yes, this is the Red Rebels Stadium, the most terrible devil's home stadium in the world, for the away players, it's hell, but for the Red Rebels players, it's heaven!"

Following Ziglinski out of the players' tunnel, Villa was quite embarrassed.

The feeling of being against a team that I am grateful to be against is really depressing, and I always feel as if there is a big stone pressing on my heart, which is very uncomfortable!

Ziglinski glanced at the team's leading scorer who seemed to be in deep thought, and what he saw on Villa's face was remembrance and memories, and he could even feel that Villa's feelings for the Red Rebels were far greater than his feelings for Barcelona.

Many people will say that when Villa switched to Barcelona, he was constantly boasting about Barcelona's greatness, but whether it is true or false, who knows?

After all, it is Barcelona's contract and salary, and Villa naturally has to consider Barcelona's feelings and position when speaking and doing things, but it is obvious that anyone can see that Villa's expression at this moment reveals his true feelings in his heart.

"Why did you leave the Red Rebels in the first place?" Tshigrinski said with a smile.

Barcelona's players are very xenophobic, Puyol, Pique, Busquets and others are hugged, and outsiders like Ziglinski are generally difficult to break into, which affects the speed of his integration into the team, and only a few players in the team such as Abidal, Villa, and Hleb are willing to help him, especially Hleb, who is Ziglinski's best friend in Barcelona.

From the lips of these friends, Tsygrinsky also heard some stories about the Red Rebels more or less!

Perhaps, many, many years later, in retrospect, that will be a source of pride for Tsyglinsky.

"There are many reasons, but definitely not money." Villa smiled a little bitterly, "In fact, you don't need to think about money at all to play in the Red Rebels, how much you play, the club will give you how much money, they have a very scientific salary system." ”

"Some people leave the Red Rebels because they feel that their role in the team has been downplayed; Some people left the Red Rebels because they couldn't play the main team in the team; Some people leave the team because they lack initiative and fighting spirit in the team, and they need to change the environment, in short...... There are any reasons, just like any other team. ”

Speaking of this, Villa paused deliberately, "Perhaps, the difference between the Red Rebels and others is that they are always full of humanity and mutual understanding and understanding no matter what time they are. ”

"Including on you?" Tsygrinsky tried to ask.

When Villa was going to leave the Red Rebels and switch to Barcelona, Barcelona fans once bombarded the Red Rebels, believing that the team was simply using Villa to rob, buying and selling Villa as a commodity.

After all, the Red Rebels were indeed making a triangular transaction back then, buying Villa while selling Eto'o, and the two transactions were carried out at the same time, buying a Villa and earning more than 100 million, which is why many people say that Villa's actual transfer fee should be the highest in history.

"Of course!" Somewhat unexpectedly, Villa still has a smile on his face when he talks about what happened at the beginning.

"Don't you blame them at all?" Tshigrinsky was a little surprised, could it be that the rumors from the outside world were biased?

Villa smiled and shook his head, "No, why should I blame them? They spoke to me before that decision and I personally agreed with the club's approach, at least in my opinion, it's the only way I can give back to the club. ”

After saying that, Villa smiled and walked into the meadow, and Tsygrinsky looked incomprehensibly confused, is this what makes the Red Rebels unique? Can you make Villa willingly cooperate with them?
