Chapter 121: Watching Barcelona
Regardless of the quality of training, after two days of training, when it was time to watch Barcelona, just when the whole team was about to drive to Camp Nou to watch the game, Binyan's phone call came in at a very timely time, but fortunately he didn't say anything about the so-called key topics, but simply told Han Sen that he would also go to Camp Nou to watch the game, and if he had the opportunity, he might be able to meet Yujian.
Han Sen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, even if he had never been to Spain again, he also knew that the highest seat at Camp Nou could reach nearly 100,000 people, and even if Binyan could enter the stadium to watch the game, unless the tickets were bought together, it would be similar to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Located in the Spanish city of Barcelona, Camp Nou is the largest stadium in continental Europe and the second largest stadium in Shijie, after the legendary Maracana Stadium in Brazil. Completed in 1957 and constructed mainly of concrete and steel, the entire project cost a staggering 288 million pesetas. In its early days, the stadium was officially known as "Estadidel FC arcelona" ("FC arcelona Stadium" in English), but soon the stadium became known as "CampNou". In the 2000/2001 season, out of 29,102 votes cast by the club's members, 19,861 (68.25%) chose "CampNou". Since then, this name has officially become its official name. In 2007, to celebrate the stadium's 50th anniversary, the club invited an international tender to make changes to the stadium, and British architect Norman Foster redesigned a new Camp Nou stadium that originally had a capacity of 150,000 people, but was eventually able to accommodate more than 93,000 people.
Han Sen and most of the East Asian team came to Camp Nou for the first time, only to see a majestic building in the distance, standing in the urban jungle of Barcelona.
Although it is a bus, it is also a guest invited by the Barcelona club, but the East Asian team can only walk the audience channel obediently like ordinary fans, but the partition is not bad, sitting in the middle of the horizontal stadium, and the number of rows is relatively high, so it is more clear to watch the game.
The game watched by the East Asian team is the 0708 season Barcelona FC in the first round of the Copa del Rey in the second leg of the second leg of the second leg of the Copa del Rey against the second division Alccino team, in the first away game, Barcelona has won 3-0 against the opponent, so the suspense of this game is not big, the attendance of the Camp Nou is only half, although it is only half, but it also counts 40,000 to 50,000 people. The stadium has a mésqueun club printed on the spectator seats, and the Barcelona club logo is printed on the lawn, all of which remind the visiting Shanghai East Asia team, which is a super giant club with a century-old heritage.
As Barcelona has basically qualified for this game and there are other matches this week, the starting lineup has changed, with goalkeeper José Manuel PINTO on the field, and defenders No. 2 Cá CáCERES, No. 3 Pique (Gerard PIQUé), No. 18 Gabi Milito (Milito) and No. 20 Alves (Daniel ALVES); In midfield, No. 7 Gudjohnsen, No. 21 Alexander HLEB and No. 24 Yaya Touré; The forward trident is Bojan Krkic at No. 11, Thierry Henry at No. 14 and Pedro Ródríguez at No. 27.
The absence of Messi, Eto'o, Iniesta, Xavi and others has disappointed some players in the East Asian team, but fortunately, at least Henry, who has newly transferred to Barcelona this season, started this game and brought some surprises to everyone.
At the beginning of the game, Alccino, who was three goals behind at home, put on a desperate posture, invested more offensive troops, and came up to storm around the gate of Barcelona, and Barcelona played today, except for three forwards, the rest of them are not outstanding figures in offensive organization, so for a while, Barcelona was a little disjointed under the onslaught of the opponent, and soon, Alccino of the second division team found the direction of Barcelona's goal and used a corner kick to head the goal to get back a point.
Obviously, for a two-legged knockout game, an away goal is very valuable, especially since Barcelona also scored three goals on the field of Alccino before, so now chasing back a goal has made the whole Alccino team excited.
"This second division team is also playing okay, can Barcelona withstand it?" Wu Lei was talking to himself in front of Han Sen.
Han Sen watched the game intently and didn't make a sound, and Zhang Linfan, who was next to him, heard this sentence and deliberately poked Han Sen with his elbow: "What about you, Brother Sen!" ”
Han Sen's hairs stood up when he was called by Brother Sen, who was joking about Zhang Linfan: "It's just one goal first, and it's also a set-piece, what does this mean, besides, in a football game, eleven people on the field can be said to be a whole, but it also depends on everyone's ability level." It is obvious that the personal level of Alccino's players is much lower than Barcelona's! Don't look at the fight as if it is violent, it is still difficult to say whether the back can withstand it or not. Besides, Barcelona still have three away goals in their hands, as long as they can score one or two at home, Alccino will be useless, and this kind of unnutritious question will not be asked again in the future. ”
What Han Sen said earlier was the Tao, and Zuihou sealed Wu Lei with a sentence, and suddenly the East Asian team members who had been listening carefully to Han Sen's opinions collectively let out a low laugh.
At this moment, the Barcelona players on the field played a delicate combination, No. 3 Pique and No. 18 Milito, two central defenders collectively pressed up to create a numerical advantage in Barcelona's midfield, and then No. 21 Hleb and No. 11 Bojan made a one-two in the middle, and Bojan inserted into the penalty area, faced the attacking goalkeeper, and then pushed the ball to the middle, and Pedro in the middle was unmarked, hitting the empty goalkeeper to score the ball.
1 to 1! Barcelona equalised almost instantaneously.
"See, are you worried about the ancients, or do you Han Sen see it thoroughly." Zhang Linfan smiled and patted Wu Lei's shoulder in front of him.
But at this moment, Han Sen stared at the goal on the field with wide eyes, the idea of this goal was very clear, first No. 18 Milito received a pass from No. 3 Pique, and then directly plugged No. 21 Heleb strode forward at the same time, just when everyone thought that Hleb would collide with Milito once, Hleb ignored Milito who was inserted forward, but turned around and passed to Bo Yang inserted in the ribs of the penalty area. This pass is very crucial, in fact, when Milito stepped forward, Bojan was also in front, due to the inertia of thinking, the attention of people on and off the field was on Milito's body, and Hleb cleverly gave the ball to Bojan, so that Bojan could burst into the penalty area with fewer defenders.
But these are not over, Bo Yang in the penalty area, basically has faced the goalkeeper can hit the goal, the same time, the first mentality of the defenders and fans think that Bo Yang can hit the goal under such a great opportunity, but another striker No. 27 Pedro at this time from the side diagonally into the middle of the unguarded area, Bo Yang easily passed the ball to Pedro's feet, so that he hit the empty goal successfully.
Everything seems very simple and within the conceivable range, but every step is unexpected, catching the opponent by surprise and one step behind.
The goal-scorers and assisters Pedro and Bojan, both from Barcelona's La Masia Academy, played an important role in the attack, and Zuihou's movement before the goal was also very good.
