Chapter 714 Going to Score!

When Fabregas returned to the White Hart Lane Stadium again, his heart was filled with sighs.

He is very familiar with this stadium because he has played here for five years. In these five years, he has become the world's top midfield star and the focus of countless fans' relish.

Once, he once thought about retiring here because he liked the fans here very much. They were simple and fanatical, but returning to his hometown, putting on Barcelona's jerseys, and playing for Barcelona was also his dream since childhood, and his whole family's expectations for him.

It is often difficult for people to achieve the best of both worlds. Between Tottenham Hotspur who cultivated him and Barcelona, ​​whom he loved in his life, he could only choose one of them, and give up the other one. In the end, he chose Barcelona because he knew that he was an Espanyol and a Catalan, and Barcelona was his only destination.

Another thing that many people don’t know is that when Fabregas decided to leave Barcelona for Chelsea, Guardiola’s opinion played a great role in promoting it. Guardiola told him at the time that he would return to Barcelona after playing outside, so it was difficult for Fabregas to refuse the invitation from Guardiola.

But even so, his gratitude to Tottenham Hotspur and his respect for Ye Qiu were not reduced by any points. But after he joined Barcelona, ​​he truly realized that not all teams were as simple and professional as Tottenham Hotspur.

At Tottenham Hotspur, players only need to concentrate on playing well. Professional people will help you with your salary, business sponsorship, off-court life trivia, etc., and even if you are unhappy, there will be psychological counselors to chat with you, and the fat man Luo who likes to be funny.

But in Barcelona, ​​especially after Rossel took office, the team became very complicated, full of many contradictions and problems. For example, Barcelona missed Villa, which led to the Spanish international transfer to Liverpool, which made Guardiola very dissatisfied.

But soon, Rosel announced an investigation into former chairman Laporta, believing that he had serious corruption during his tenure as chairman of Barcelona, ​​causing the team to suffer serious losses. This is the first time among the two major La Liga giants. Even after Real Madrid's worst chairman Calderon stepped down, Florentino had never done such a thing.

Laporta found Guardiola, a person who wanted to switch to politics but was unable to make a difference, and his life became fragmented. Once he faced a financial fraud investigation, he might even be frozen all his property cried to Guardiola. The latter was grateful to Laporta for giving him the opportunity to be the head coach, so he expressed his sympathy for Laporta in an interview, but this resulted in Rossell's anger and dissatisfaction.

Following closely behind, Cruyff returned to Barcelona's honorary presidential title and directly announced the division of the senior management. Guardiola was undoubtedly on the side of his mentor, which also made it difficult for him to renew his contract with Barcelona to develop.

Another very important contradiction is the assistant coach, that is, next season, Barcelona's most popular head coach Bilanova suffered from cancer and had surgery, which was very successful, but everyone was worried and scared. There was also Abidal's tumor. The absence of the French left-back also made Barcelona's left-wing weak.

If some things are just emergencies and have not had a big impact on the team, then the division of management has directly led to conflicts within the team. At least many people are already dissatisfied with the current situation of Barcelona, ​​for example, the team's number one center Van Persie has expressed that she wants to leave the team.

Perhaps, many people are right. Catalans have very good life values, that is, relying on hard work to save their souls and devote all their work. This value has allowed countless Catalans to create and prove their life values.

But Catalans also have typical character flaws, that is, they are too sentimental and too fragile.

Fabregas walked off the Barcelona bus and saw the cockfighting statue stepping on a football above the White Hart Lane field. He felt that playing in Barcelona was too much pressure, and it was too complicated. Instead, it was not as simple and simple as Tottenham Hotspur.

But, where can I take medicine for regret in the world?

Furthermore, Fabregas' sentimentality was just a sudden surge of emotions. When his mood calmed down, it faded and he didn't feel any problem.

After all, Barcelona is his real destination, isn't it?

After calming down, Fabregas had another kind of worry. Will the fans of Tottenham Hotspurs take revenge on him like Barcelona fans throwing Figo with pig heads? What kind of attitude will the teammates of Tottenham Hotspurs see him? And the head, how will he treat this player who has left the team?

Fabregas's worries lasted for a long time. When he walked into the visiting team's locker room, changed his clothes, walked out of the locker room, walked out of the player's passage, and was about to go on the court to warm up, he felt relieved.

Many Tottenham Hotspur fans are shouting Fabregas' name, Van Persie's name, Mascherano's name, and some fans even cast their images in the stands to show that Tottenham Hotspur has not forgotten these three players who once played for Tottenham Hotspur.

The three of them also raised their hands and applauded at the fans in the stands to thank the fans for their love and support for them.

“Hi, Sesque”

Fabregas had just walked out of the player channel, but unexpectedly, Ye Qiu was nearby and was chatting with Guardiola. When he saw Fabregas, he took the initiative to say hello and smiled.

"Hello, head" Fabregas blurted out, unable to change his words for a moment, and then looked at Guardiola nervously, who also smiled, obviously did not take this sentence to heart.

"Come on, but don't expect to defeat us." Ye Qiu joked.

"Hi, Robin" Before Fabregas could react, Ye Qiu slapped the high-high with Batman Robin or Van Persie who walked over with a smile. The Dutchman had a closer relationship with Ye Qiu, and he was often in touch with him. He was an extroverted player.

"Head, I have a feeling that I can score goals today and score a lot of them." Van Persie smiled and provoked.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you scored twice in a row recently." Ye Qiu also responded with a smile, but soon, the topic changed, "But you can only act wildly on the teams of Zaragoza and Getafe. Do you think the Volkswagen PL Yin Bugatti Veyron?"

For some reason, Ye Qiu remembered the red slutty Volkswagen PL of Roland or Shepars

"I will prove it to you," Van Persie said with a smile and pointed at Ye Qiu.

"Javier" Ye Qiu did not refute, and noticed Mascherano standing next to Van Persie. "I told Cavani to stare at your head and hit you very much. You'd better be careful." After saying that, he laughed with a look of fear that the world would be in chaos.

Mascherano's expression was a little cold, but after hearing Ye Qiu's words, he laughed, "I'm not afraid of him."

After seeing off several players, Ye Qiu turned around and noticed that Guardiola was also smiling, a little embarrassed. He was getting close to his players in front of the head coach, especially in such an important game. Ye Qiu was wondering if he had passed a little bit?

"To be honest, I admire you very much. At least your relationship with these players is still so good even now." Guardiola's words contained sighs and helplessness.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head, "Actually nothing. I always feel that the relationship between players and head coach is not only a kind of cooperation, but also a kind of coexistence. We cannot only pay attention to the relationship of interests, but we cannot rely on feelings blindly. The head coach should not be too involved in the players, but we should not be too disconnected. There is a balance needed to be grasped here."

After hearing this, Guardiola had a lot of insights and experiences. He was just too involved and was good friends with many players, which led to many of his work being unable to promote in the club.

The hardest thing in this world is human relationship

Moreover, once you get entangled, it will be difficult to get rid of this kind of thing, so Guardiola decided not to renew his contract, leave Barcelona, ​​and leave these vortexes of human feelings, so that he can take off the pressure and go into battle lightly.

Sometimes Ye Qiu was thinking about another question. The whole world scolded Morati, and everyone said that he was emotional, but in fact, the people in it were the most miserable, just like Morati. He knew very well what the team should do to be the right choice and the right one, but he was also a good person and did not want to offend others, which led to the current situation of Inter Milan.

No wonder some people say that Morati is the best boss in the world, but the worst operator.

"No matter what, Pepe, I must win this game," Ye Qiu said confidently.

Pepe, this is the nickname of Guardiola by a good friend.

"Me too," Guardiola also answered toughly, but there was no energy or passion on his face. There was only a kind of exhaustion and helplessness. He no longer had the aura he had when coaching the team in his first season.

As Ferguson once said, coaching top giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid will undoubtedly be very, very difficult in the first season, but in every season afterwards, the difficulty will continue to rise, becoming more and more difficult, and in the end the pressure will swallow you up.

Therefore, teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid will never be able to produce Ferguson, and it will never be possible.

Because in such a team, the head coach is always just a supporting role, and the team and the chairman are the protagonists.

"Friends, welcome to watch the first leg of the semi-final match of the UEFA Champions League season 0. We are now broadcasting live for everyone at the White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham Hotspur in London."

"The two teams we played against in this game are the two top teams with the most strength and influence in football today, namely Premier League overlord Tottenham Hotspur, and the traditional giants Barcelona in La Liga."

"There is no doubt that this will be a very exciting game, because Tottenham and Barcelona are both teams that are both offensive and defensive, and both teams are currently the strongest attacking team in Europe. Tottenham Hotspur's goals are ranked first in Europe, Barcelona is third, and the second is another giant team from La Liga Real Madrid."

"This game is about to begin, and the starting lineups of both sides have come out."

"Tottenham Hotspur, who plays at home, still ranks Ye Qiu's best 433 tactics. The goalkeeper is Czech goalkeeper Peter Cech, and the defense is Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves. This is also Tottenham Hotspur's main defense line this season, and he performed very well in both the Premier League and the Champions League."

"The midfield is the iron triangle combination of Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal. We all noticed that Tottenham Hotspur's midfield has been very good this season and performed very well, while the trident in the frontcourt is star-studded, Ribery, Cavani and Messi."

"In this game, Tottenham Hotspur sent all its main players, and many pre-match comments said that Tottenham Hotspur will fight to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. In addition to paying attention to top superstars Messi and Ribery, I personally think that Cavani is also a player who needs Barcelona to be careful."

"Cavani is not only tall, but also has strength to fight against each other, and his feet are not bad. More importantly, he is not only able to score by himself, but also good at disrupting the opponent's defense. This will allow Tottenham Hotspur to play well and the players behind Messi, Ribery, Vidal and Ramsey to be inserted, so the tactical value is very great."

"Barcelona is also in a good position, with Valdes' goalkeepers, Adriano, Mascherano, Pique and Puyol in the back line, the three midfielders are Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi, and Sanchez, Van Persie and Fabregas in the front tridents."

"It is worth noting that in Barcelona's starting lineup in this game, Mascherano, Van Persie and Fabregas are all players from Tottenham Hotspur. They are all very familiar with this team. Before the game, Cruyff said that if Barcelona makes good use of this, it will not be difficult to win away."

"But when Ye Qiu refuted Cruyff, he said that these players are familiar with the previous Tottenham Hotspur, but Tottenham Hotspur this season is very different from before, so he is not worried that the opponent will see through it at all, on the contrary, he feels that his familiarity with these players can help Tottenham Hotspur defeat his opponent."

"The battle of words between the two sides was very loud before the game, and fans all over the world were paying attention to this focus game, and we all know that this game will definitely not disappoint the fans waiting for it."

With the analysis of the on-site commentator, the players of the two teams slowly walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee. Both sides lined up in front of the fans of White Hart Lane, and then started a series of pre-match routines. When guessing the side later, Barcelona won the serve, and Fabregas and Van Persie stood in the middle circle.

"Fabregas used to play in the front of the midfield at Tottenham, but after coming to Barcelona, ​​he was promoted to the frontcourt by Guardiola as the team's main attacker, and his performance was still very good."

"The referee and the fourth official on the sidelines are checking the time, and the game is about to begin."

With the referee's whistle, this focus battle with great attention finally began.

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona knocked the ball backwards, and the frontcourt players quickly inserted. Xavi made a long pass in the midfield and wanted to find Sanchez, but Marcelo blocked Sanchez with his body and let the ball go out of the baseline.

"Tottenham Hotspur is very steady, Marcelo has great experience in defense. He helped Tottenham regain possession in just ten seconds. Barcelona played a bit impatient at the start. We all know that both teams attach great importance to possession, and they gave the possession to Tottenham Hotspur in less than ten seconds of the game. It seems that Barcelona's start is still a little anxious."

Tottenham Hotspur quickly sent out the out-of-bounds ball, Marcelo threw the ball to Ribery who came back from the front. The latter hooked his feet and hooked it to Ramsey. The Welshman pushed the ball directly, while Pirlo, who was receiving the ball behind him, pushed it again and sent it to the right and gave it to Alves.

"Tottenham Hotspur passed one continuous kick very quickly. The ball came to the right and soon broke Barcelona's intensive defense and oppression. This is also a highlight of the game. See if Tottenham Hotspur can use its own off-ball running and skillful pass and catch the ball as many people say to tear open the loopholes in Barcelona."

But when Alves got the ball on the right, Barcelona obviously pushed it tightly and leaned forward. Alves tried to pass it to Messi, but the Argentinian knocked back at Vidal, and the latter knocked back at Thiago Silva behind him. Van Persie and Fabregas were both harassed the defense line, and Thiago Silva had to knock back at goalkeeper Cech.

"Barcelona is pressing tightly. It seems that Guardiola is still planning to use his best high-level defense and high-intensity pressing and pressure to curb Tottenham Hotspur."

Seeing that Thiago Silva was disturbed, Kompani immediately distanced himself from his teammates. Just after the two central defenders pulled out, Pirlo ran back from the midfield and took the initiative to receive Cech's pass.

As soon as Pirlo took the ball, he turned around immediately. He almost didn't even have to look at it. At the moment of turning around, his hands slightly spread and his right foot swung his right foot and passed the ball diagonally.

The ball crossed a beautiful arc from the front of the penalty area and landed on the right side of Barcelona's 30-meter area. It was seen that Messi was rushing forward quickly at some point, while Adriano was fighting with Messi, but the Argentinian still raised his left foot early and gently picked the ball towards the coming.

This pick made the ball pick over Adriano. The Brazilian left-back chased back too hard and rushed over directly. After Messi took the lead, he gently leveraged Adriano's back with both hands, faced the middle, headed the ball towards the falling ball and chased forward.

The whole process was completed in one go, which directly caused a major loophole in Barcelona's defense line.

At this moment, Cavani quickly rushed into Barcelona's penalty area. After Messi stopped the ball, he passed it straight and passed it to the right corner of the penalty area. After Cavani received the ball, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, but Mascherano entangled Cavani tightly. The Uruguayan saw that there was no chance, and knocked the ball behind him with his heels.

This wonderful pass happened to Messi's feet, and the whole game was in an uproar. Everyone thought Cavani had opened his eyes behind him, because after Messi received the ball, there was no defensive player beside him, and there was only Pique who was assisting in defense behind Mascherano.

"Here, come, I'm going to score a goal." The live commentator was also cooperating with the situation and cheering loudly.
