Chapter 441 Meeting Barcelona again in the European War
"Over exaggeration! Ronaldinho's dribbling is indeed wonderful, but it is also true that it does not help the situation on the field! He can come as a substitute for Nedvěd for a few years!"
"Kaka is still mediocre, and his previous brilliance is just an illusion! He may not even be a substitute for a giant Serie A team!"
"The best midfielder in Europe? Ranked tenth in the Ballon d'Or? Deng Kai's gold content is like Lazio's Mendieta, making people want to laugh! He looks too helpless in front of Davis and Conte!"
"Mr. 74 billion lire? Deng Kai's net worth is too high, and even Serie A teams may not want to pay him half as much!"
Sporting Lisbon was unable to refute these comments, and had no intention of refuting them.
This is the world of football.
You have to admit when you lose, and stand at attention when you are beaten.
Even if you say "Winning first does not mean winning, losing first does not mean losing", people will think you are being tough.
If you want to regain your position, you must either defeat the opponent directly or eliminate the opponent directly.
December 1st, the thirteenth round of the Portuguese Super League.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all Maritimo players and fans had only one sentence in their minds, and that was: "First of all, I didn't offend you!"
Deng Kai's hat trick!
Kaka made two passes and two shots!
Ronaldinho shoots and passes twice!
Yaya Toure and Yin Bu both scored!
Eight to three!
Sporting Lisbon played completely crazy. They didn't want to defend at all. They just attacked when they had the ball. It was simply unreasonable.
But even with such a crazy offensive and score, it still cannot be recognized by other media outside Portugal.
What's the point of being a gangster?
If you can't fight a tough battle, what if your other matches were ten to zero?
Does it make sense?
…
Reporter: "Marquesa, what do you think about the outside world's collective disapproval of your game against Barcelona?"
As Barcelona's players arrive in Lisbon, a new round of pre-Champions League news storm hits.
Maxa: "We are not concerned about what the outside world thinks, we are focused on our opponents."
Reporter: “Is there anything you can learn from the success of Barcelona’s three-centre-back tactic this season?”
Maxa: "We used the three-centre-back tactic last season. Who do you think borrowed it from whom?"
Reporter: "But Barcelona's results are better."
Maxa: "Are you sure? Barcelona has become first in the league? No, I think it is fifth in the league... How many people believe that they can win the league this season? But don't look at us now. We are only second in the league. Guess
How many people think we can defend the league title this season? You are blind, but European bookmakers don't seem to be blind."
Reporter: "You..."
Maxa: "What am I doing? Or is it that Barcelona won the UEFA Cup last year, so you think they are very strong? Then this conflicts with my memory. I will definitely go to the team's trophy room to take a look later.
Look at the time and name engraved on that UEFA Cup."
Reporter: "Barcelona is a team that has won the Champions League, and its background is beyond what you at Sporting Lisbon can imagine!"
Maxa: "So what? So we should give the victory to Barcelona? In this case, Barcelona should kneel down to Real Madrid, because Real Madrid has won far more championships than Barcelona in history! How can Barcelona compete with Barca?
Real Madrid?”
Journalist!
Maxa walked away. He was in a bad mood today, so the Barcelona mouthpiece should not get involved.
Triguera refused Marquesa's massage, which prevented Marquesa from relaxing on the court for Kai Shao.
This was a complete waste of Maxa's life.
How would it be for him to sit quietly on the coaching bench during a game?
If he doesn't make some contribution to the team, he will have trouble sleeping and eating!
Triguera: Then you can do some work on the team's tactics and opponent player data.
Maxa: Then I'm afraid that Mr. Kai will have trouble sleeping and eating!
Trigla:666!
On December 4, the second leg of the second stage of the Champions League group stage begins.
Arsenal and Juventus start a battle.
Juventus, who dominated all sides in the previous round, were suppressed by Arsenal throughout this game, which is unbelievable.
Vieira showed his role as a super defensive gate and successfully froze Juventus' core midfielder Nedved.
Henry and Trezeguet, the French striker duo, both scored goals, but the difference was that Henry's Arsenal finally defeated the invading Juventus with three goals.
Juventus lost 3-1 in the away game and were tied with Arsenal on points.
The next day, Sporting Lisbon hosted Barcelona.
Once Barcelona wins, they will rank first in this group with six points, and their probability of advancing to the quarterfinals will be greatly increased.
"Hello everyone, the stadium shown in the picture is the Alvalade Stadium, home of Sporting Lisbon. The fans in the stands are wearing green and white jerseys and are cheering for the home team."
"Of course, there are a very few players wearing red and blue jerseys. These are Barcelona fans. They are very rich and travel to Lisbon with the home team. They think they will take away a victory."
"Barcelona's record has been relatively stable after changing its lineup to three central defenders. This change is compatible with players such as Rivaldo, Quaresma, Kluyinvert, Saviola, and Giovanni, which has strengthened Barcelona's competitiveness.
Control of football.”
“Their lineups are:
Saviola, Kluinvert, Quaresma
Rivaldo, Giovanni
Harvey, Cocu
De Boer, Cristan Val, Puyol
Bonanno”
"Among them, Cristan Val was bought by Barcelona this summer specifically to make up for the air defense problem. Last year, Deng Kai's header hat trick against Barcelona made the Catalans sleepless and diluted."
"Height and heading have become forbidden words in Barcelona's code."
"And Kristan Val's performance in air defense is not in vain. But his footwork and ability to handle the ball in the face of pressing are relatively weak. He made a lot of small mistakes. I don't know how he will perform today."
“Sporting Lisbon’s formation is:
Ronaldo, Didier Drogba
Kaka, Deng Kai, Ronaldinho
Yaya Toure, Guardiola
Pepe, Vidic, Barzagli
Schmeichel"
"Both teams have three defenders and two defensive midfielders. Only the positions in the frontcourt are slightly different. However, both teams pursue possession of the ball and focus on making fuss on the wing. The overall playing style can be said to be quite similar.
"
"Barcelona fans also believed that Sporting Lisbon copied their tactics and despised it."
"Triguera publicly stated that this tactic was mainly formulated by Marquesa, referring to some of Van Gaal's ideas, but it also incorporated Rehagel's tactical style."
"After that, the media's evaluation of Sporting Lisbon's tactics changed from the previous plagiarism theory, believing that Marquesa combined the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and was better than the old."
"After Marquesa gained the reputation of being a Saint, he was called the Bruce Lee of Western football by some fans, or Li Ma for short!"
