Chapter 203: Battle
The disturbances outside the field are all accustomed to the players on both sides who are about to start the game, even if the coaches of the two sides do not fight, such a grudge and hatred of the world war, the media has to find a lot of gimmicks to promote, in the past, now there is a trend of intensification.
Of course, with Mourinho's big game, there will definitely be no shortage of topics, but nothing is said to be as powerful as an actual victory.
Before the start of the first round of the Champions Cup knockout round, under the public opinion offensive of the media on both sides, the fans of both teams fell into excitement and worry, excited that the teams they support will face the top side of the world, the game will undoubtedly become a classic battle in the number of seasons, and the worry is that the opponent is by no means a soft persimmon, both teams are likely to lose, and failure often means that they are at a disadvantage in the second round.
The level of a translator can be compared to Rijkaard, one of the 'Three Musketeers of the Netherlands'?
At least in the eyes of Barcelona fans, although Chelsea's record is not even comparable to Barcelona this season, a translator who left Barcelona wants to eliminate his old club again and again, at least the fans don't believe in this evil.
Of course, the above is just the discriminatory opinion of Barcelona fans, according to the "French football" newspaper's "professional statistics" analysis, if you look at the data, Chelsea and Barcelona can be called the most balanced offensive and defensive teams in the world today, in their respective leagues, their goals and conceded goals have almost reached the most reasonable "critical point", but simply comparing these two teams, the respective victories between attack and defense indicate an absolute good play of "Mai Mang to the tip of the needle".
Defensively. Both teams are by no means inferior, with both young goalkeepers showing the best level in the world.
According to the analysis of many 'professionals', Peter. Petr Cech PK Valdés. Unlike the latter's passionateness, Cech has been more consistent and Chelsea need consistency in this game, and at Stamford Bridge, the Blues' home stadium, it is difficult to guarantee that the excited Valdés will not make a mistake due to being too excited, and in this game, a single mistake will matter.
Barcelona have conceded the fewest goals so far in La Liga. However, the number of goals conceded in 23 games has reached 17, which is not outstanding, but Barcelona are not a team that relies on defense to come out in the first place. Against Chelsea, Barca's real weapon is attack.
However, Chelsea's real weapon is also attacking, and no one can deny that Ronaldo is one of the best attackers in the world today, but more importantly, he also has La Liga's top scorer Samuel Eto'o and Deco, who is also capable of attacking and playmaking.
Behind this "attack trident". Harvey's presence is significant. Because in the eyes of the Spanish media, Rijkaard's tactical system may lack Ronaldo or Eto'o, but Xavi, who can sort out the midfield in an orderly manner and have "world-class assists" from time to time, is absolutely indispensable, and it is also the real reason why Barcelona can create the most powerful attack in La Liga.
But who's to deny that Jonk is the most powerful attacker among the young players in the world, and there is no one?
According to Portugal's newspaper La Presse, Barcelona's backline is not reassuring and is playing at Stamford Bridge again if Chelsea play defensive counter-attacking tactics. Barcelona are also afraid to attack because they are afraid. They fear Chelsea's No.25 Jonker, and Rijkaard will not ignore the most efficient striker in the world today, especially when it comes to quick counter-attacks, and his pace can be a nightmare for Barcelona.
In fact, the reason why so many fans and media pay attention to the game is more because of the popularity brought by Chelsea, to be precise, a large part of it is brought by Jonker, especially in China, the fans in the land of China have now become the most staunch supporters of Chelsea, Jonk represents Chelsea, then the Chinese fans will undoubtedly support the Blues, although Chelsea's games are sometimes not so good-looking, but this does not prevent Chinese fans from supporting Chelsea as their own team because of personal emotional factors!
However, at least in the minds of many non-European fans, Ronaldinho's popularity is far less than that of Jonker, who has scored more than 30 goals in a single season.
The players of the two teams met in the tunnel of the players, and they all looked at each other with a large number of players from the opposing camp, but no one took the initiative to talk to the opposing players, even some people who knew each other well, but of course, there were exceptions to this -
"Hello."
Jonker stepped out of the Chelsea 'camp' and walked straight in the direction of Ronaldinho and politely raised his right hand.
At this time, almost all the players, coaches, media and officials in the player tunnel looked at Jonker, and at this moment, Jonker's special performance undoubtedly made him the focus of everyone's attention.
Ronaldinho was stunned for a moment, reacted, and politely shook Jonker's right hand, and at the same time, he grinned with his big mouth, but, in the eyes of others, this scene was a little terrifying, like an innocent little Zhengtai throwing his arms into the arms of a strange man-
Even the Barcelona players saw it that way, and they even looked at Jonker with some pity in their eyes.
However, what no one knows is that at this time, the terrifying-looking Ronalnidio himself is the most pitiful person, just the moment he held Jonker's right hand, he felt a huge amount of force coming from the opponent's right hand, although it was only for a moment, but that kind of force still made Ronaldinho feel a burst of soreness, he couldn't help grinning, and almost shouted in pain.
Unfortunately, everyone next to him thought he was smiling......
"You're the world's footballer and I'm looking forward to playing against you."
Jonker, who took the initiative to come over, also took the initiative to provoke the conversation, his words were very polite, so that the Barcelona players next to him had a good impression of him, but Jonke's next sentence made their just good impression plummet, and even fell into a negative value, "However, in the game, I will let you know what is called the strength of the number one attacker in the world, your title is not worthy of the name, at least the gap between you and me is too far." ”
After saying this. Jonk ignored the Barcelona players and went straight back to his team, while his Chelsea team-mates gave him a thumbs up.
Almost everyone in Chi Guoguo's provocative player tunnel was dumbfounded. As the protagonist of the provocation, Ronalnidio's expression is very strange, almost everyone is looking at him now, and the media behind the players are also focusing on him, but the Brazilian superstar's face is stunned, which makes many English reporters on the scene regard this as a kind of cowardice.
But in reality, Ronaldinho is still looking back on how he felt when he shook hands. In retrospect, he even felt that the hand could easily crush his right hand, and this feeling of fear was very uncomfortable, but. He recovered quickly and said, 'Luckily, this is a football game, so you can't use your hands.'
Today's Jonker is a little abnormal! According to the situation before the game, he would not have made such a provocative move. But today he did. It's so red and fruitful, yes! The fire in his heart made him do this, facing the world-level superstar, he couldn't help but want to compare, and at the same time verified the idea in his heart, the big battle between the two teams in this game, how could it be, a big battle in Jonke's own heart. He had already thought about a move to continue honing himself, which was a key validation.
Leigh followed the Chelsea players out of the tunnel. Entering Stamford Bridge, at this time, the huge stadium was already crowded, most of them were Chelsea fans, there were many slogans and banners in the stands to cheer for Chelsea, and some radical Chelsea fans were labeled as satirical Barcelona, such as 'Barcelona, get out of Stamford Bridge' and so on.
Of course, in the blue camp, if you look closely, you will find many Oriental faces, which have never appeared before, cheering for Jonker in Chinese, "Jonke Jonke"
Perhaps there is another reason why these Catalan fans do not want to admit that he has the quality to match Ronaldinho.
At this time, Wang Li, who had just walked into the stadium and lined up with the team, heard the commentators at Camp Nou introduce the players one by one.
"Frank Lampard"
There was a sudden burst of shouts from the stands as a way to express their affection for Frank Lampard, and it was clear that the Blues had already conquered the hearts of Chelsea fans.
"Terry"
With this shout from the commentator on the spot, almost all the Chelsea fans in the stadium shouted in unison, this is the influence of the Chelsea captain.
John Terry, who came through the Chelsea Academy, is undoubtedly the flagship figure of Stamford Bridge, a native of Chelsea, and many fans in the UK value such a club heritage-like figure, of course, his personal strength is also a guarantee of such support from fans, and he deserves such cheers as a world-class central defender.
"Jonker"
If you want to say that the hottest person in Chelsea recently, it is undoubtedly Jonker, and the fans have not skimped on their calls, and the number 25 given to Chelsea is still very enthusiastic, only a little worse than Terry.
Jonker listened to the cry in his ear, but smiled wickedly in his heart. Imagine the thrill of conquering one of the world's sharpest attacking teams with your feet in front of the nearly 60,000 Chelsea fans in front of the stadium, and of course, it becomes a blow to Barcelona fans.
When the players of the two teams stood up, with the whistle of the Nordic referee, the game finally began in the expectation of everyone.
Barcelona kicked off first, their players wore a traditional Barcelona shirt today, the wide red and blue bars represent Barcelona's will and spirit, and today these players did look really high, Ronaldinho even declared before the game that 'all Premier League teams have lost', on the other hand, it also shows the confidence of the Barcelona players in this game.
It was just the beginning, and the game on the field was already extremely intense, and the two teams fought near the halfway line, but despite several crises, the ball was still at the feet of the Barcelona players, which even made defender Del Horno want to rush forward, but he was killed by John. Terry stopped, turned his head to look at the captain's eyes, and Del Orno also understood that the opponent is Barcelona now, and the most important thing in other people's turf is to stabilize the defense.
Before the game, Rijkaard had been worried that Barcelona's midfielders would slack off and be exploited by Chelsea after winning in a row. But after more than a minute of fighting, the football was still at the feet of the Barcelona players, which made Rijkaard breathe a long sigh of relief. At least against Chelsea, the Barcelona players weren't too careless.
Barcelona's football style is very similar to the Spanish national team, in fact, it should be said that Barcelona's style has seriously affected the Spanish team, because half of the players in the main squad of the Spanish national team in every world are from Barcelona, and this style is to constantly reverse the foot and pull the opponent's defense in the backfield. to create an opportunity for your own side to get a hit on the ground.
And this is different from the backward feet of the Juventus 'Old Lady' team, the 'Old Lady' approach is to master the rhythm. In other words, they are good at using the change of pace to achieve the purpose of panicking the opponent, and the reverse foot is more of a preparation for a quick attack, while Barcelona's reverse foot is just as fast as the attacking tempo. They are better at working with the technique and technique.
This is the difference between the traditional Italian style and the Spanish style with South American influences.
At this time. Almost the entire stadium was cheering for Chelsea, while the Catalans, who were only a few thousand people, were as fragile as a drop in the ocean, and the pitch was good, but the fans were the opposite.
Jonker was also roaming the front court, and when he saw the ball pass to the feet of the opponent's No. 12 Van Bronckhorst, he immediately approached Thorst unconsciously, trying to seize the opportunity to break the ball and counterattack.
But. Barcelona's passing frequency is very fast, and the general short-distance combination is almost always a one-foot pass. Van Brondhorst only took a slight step forward after winning the ball, and then kicked the ball to Marquez, this kind of coordination that seemed to be in the bones, and even left Jonk behind and the latter's run also flashed Robben's steal, this kind of efficient cooperation can't help but make Jonk feel a little weak.
However, Chelsea's midfielders are very capable, Marquez has just won the ball, this game returned from injury Makelele forced over, in the process of running, he also bet on Marquez and most of the forward passing, which made the latter a little hurried, he turned his head to look and found that the opponent's No. 25 brunette boy was also pressed from behind, so he immediately kicked the ball to the back.
The failed Jongk and the Frenchman looked at each other helplessly, then turned their heads apart and went to grab the ball again.
Chelsea at the beginning, most people have not been able to adapt to Barcelona's style of playing with the ball, although before the game Mourinho carefully explained to them the tactics and style that Barcelona is good at, but after all, written knowledge and the real game are different, fortunately there is John at the back. Terry's command, and Jonker in the front court, made the formation not chaotic.
The football was kept at the feet of the Barcelona players, and after a little more than a minute, after two quick passes, they launched the attack, at which time, the boos of the fans suddenly rang out.
Chelsea fans don't want to watch the Barça people put on a show endlessly.
No.5 Puyol cut in halfway and played two short passes with winger Edmilson to get the ball straight to the outside of Chelsea, and then Edmilson passed to Deco in the middle before Makelele could get up to grab the ball, who slipped the ball and dodged Frank Lampard's tackle and the ball to Ronaldinho.
As early as the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Ronaldinho has proven his ability, after transferring from Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona, he has become the unstoppable forward of this world-class giants, the core of the team's attack, the engine of the whole field, as a forward midfielder, Ronaldinho makes fans remember his kind of gorgeous skills with a serious Brazilian style, as well as accurate passing ability, if in the eyes of professional football people, these are secondary, And that ability to control the whole game is the most important thing.
To use a technical term, it is to look at the big picture.
In the game, Ronalnidio's overall view is definitely the top in the world, at least the current Jonk is far from catching up.
The moment Ronaldinio received the ball, the boos of the fans suddenly reached a height, and Ronaldinho flicked his left foot with a juggling heel and flew straight into the Chelsea penalty area.
Samuel. Samuel Eto'o, the black cheetah who won the African Footballer of the Year award in 2003 and 2004, had the opportunity to join Chelsea, and he himself wanted to try his hand in the Premier League, but Mourinho gave up on him and chose Drogba, and now facing Chelsea, he has a lot of energy in his heart to prove to the world that he is better than Drogba. The opportunity came just as soon as the game began, and at that point Chelsea captain John Brown. John Terry was stuck in Eto'o's position and denying him a chance to get the ball. However, Eto'o unloaded with his body, brought the ball forward with his heel, and won the ball and volleyed directly "Eto'o, shot"
Eto'o shot from just about 7 metres from the goal, and Peter, who was standing in front of the goal. Petr Cech was very nervous, and if this kind of ball was hit at the right angle, even the best goalkeeper in the world would not be able to reflect it, but. In the next moment, he let out a long breath in his heart.
John. Terry fell in the path of the ball and he used his body to block the shot.
This. Even the Chelsea fans in the stadium couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Terry after a round of applause, the Chelsea iron defender is by no means touted, and he has been selected in the European Team of the Year for almost no month not only because of his personal strength, but also because of his 'desperate Saburo' will football in the stadium was directly blocked by Terry's body in the box. Next to Paul. Ferreira hurried over to help Terry. Let's see what he's doing.
"Look at the good guy, what are you doing?"
What the Portuguese defender didn't expect was that Terry stood up and didn't thank him, but yelled at him directly.
In fact, the game was not over, and after the football popped out of the penalty area, it still snatched the Barcelona players to their feet. Chelsea are by no means soft persimmons, though. After defender Motta grabbed the ball, Lampard immediately pushed back. In the scramble, Motta inadvertently took the ball off the touchline.
The opening was just less than the first attack, which made the Chelsea people break out in a cold sweat, and Jonker, who was in the front, looked at Barcelona's attack, and was inexplicably excited.
Claude Makelele was soon on the touchline to serve the ball, but just then, two Barcelona players pressed on and the other Barcelona players stared at the Chelsea players who could catch the ball, leaving the Frenchman at a loss and he didn't know who to throw it to.
Just when Makelele was still looking for someone, Jonker, who had been pestering Barcelona players about 10 meters in front of him, frowned and shouted: "F......, pass it quickly"
In fact, as the absolute main force of Chelsea, Jonk and Makelele are by no means all the way, he usually has little communication with the French midfielder in the game, so he does not know the French very well, and in his opinion, Makelele should know himself very well, after all, many of Chelsea's attacking tactics are built around him.
But now, it seems that the Frenchman looked at him with his eyes but did not pass the ball, and Jonker couldn't help but burst out with a foul word, but fortunately he held back, otherwise he would have gotten a free yellow ticket directly for saying such words in a football match.
Makelele heard Wang Li's voice, he didn't care about his tone at all, and directly returned the ball over, in his opinion, the last thing to provoke in the Chelsea team is this black-haired boy, because it will not only make him untenable in the dressing room, the club's three largest groups, England and Portugal, and the most comfortable existence among the outside legions, compared to Jonker, the somewhat silent Makelle is very much like the performance on the field, doing things silently, not very good at talking.
In fact, according to the judgment of normal players, Jonker's point just now was not good, because Deco stopped in front of Jonk.
But just as the Chelsea players had imagined, Jonk was in front of Deco in an instant, and before Deco was stunned, he had already picked up the ball and walked away.
There is no need for the captain's command at all, all the Barcelona players know that Chelsea's most dangerous player is definitely the No. 25 black-haired boy who is now dribbling the ball, so when they saw Wang Li dribbling forward, they immediately returned to the defense, and Motta and Marquez also ran towards Jonker.
At this time, the Barcelona players were desperately running towards their own half, while the Chelsea attacking players were quickly inserting into the Barcelona half. Cole and Frank Lampard are just two.
From here, you can see the difference between Chelsea and Barcelona's attacking style, Barcelona is all-attacking and defending, while Chelsea is balanced in attack and defense, of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in both aspects.
Now, the disadvantages of both sides are evident, because Chelsea are not all attacking and defending, and many backcourt players are not good at attacking, so Jonk has many options, he can only dribble the ball himself or pass to the nearest Joe. Cole, and the pass to Frank Lampard was a bit of a challenge.
Will Jonker choose to pass the ball or come on his own? (To be continued......)
