Chapter 692 To tell a joke, the Lisbon miracle belongs to Ronaldinho
April 12, the 33rd round of the Premier League.
Manchester City defeated Birmingham 1-0.
Almost beaten by Birmingham City.
After checking the Premier League's schedule for this season, especially the second half of the season, most fans found that there is indeed a problem with the schedule.
Too dense.
Other Premier League teams are starting to complain about the damn schedule.
Even Manchester City's biggest rival Arsenal, Professor Arsene Wenger, stood up and affirmed Deng Kai's statement: "Indeed, this year's situation is very special."
"I hope that next season, including many games in the future, the Premier League will be more thoughtful."
"Just like the Portuguese Super League or La Liga, it is also possible to put some games after the Champions League."
"After all, the Champions League is the most important honor for the club, and it deserves our careful treatment!"
Slowly, people's dissatisfaction with Deng Kai dissipated.
At the same time, Barcelona also issued a series of statements.
It means that we did not deliberately let the media smear Manchester City, these were their spontaneous actions and so on.
Still quite timid.
They really don't want to go to court with Manchester City.
Because when Mansour's team acquired Manchester City, they had already cooperated with the most powerful legal team in Europe.
Moreover, litigating in Europe is a waste of money.
Due to the large-scale signings of Barcelona in recent years, their finances are almost unsustainable.
They have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
They don't even really want strong veterans like Kluivert in the team.
How can you be willing to litigate?
In front of the European media, Barcelona's behavior is equivalent to avoiding war and seeking peace.
This makes them lose face.
So the Manchester City people flew to Barcelona with pride.
And as the Manchester City plane landed.
The insulted Barcelona people pulled out banners one after another, insulting Deng Kai and Manchester City.
But in the pre-match interview, Deng Kai said: "We are satisfied with the welcome ceremony of the Barcelona fans. This is their only way to fight against us."
After listening to the interview, Barcelona fans were furious.
Barcelona, on the other hand, mentioned some past events in the pre-match interview.
Barcelona's sporting director said Ronaldinho is the best player in the world at this stage.
The most important contributor to the Sporting Lisbon miracle is Ronaldinho.
And Deng Kai just stole the credit from Ronaldinho.
In the director's original words, "That team is only a UEFA Cup championship-level team. They are still far behind the Champions League. Ronaldinho made up for it all"!
Reporters immediately understood why Ronaldinho did not attend the press conference.
I guess Ronaldinho himself can't stand it anymore.
Of course, Barcelona has a reason for doing this.
Because the position of president of their team is shaky.
The team has failed to meet expectations for two consecutive seasons, and the various chaos within the team have long made fans dissatisfied.
This conflict with Manchester City has detonated dissatisfaction within Barcelona.
If the club president doesn't do something, he may be dismissed early.
Therefore, even if they know it is some nonsense and some outrageous words, they still say it.
Because they know that if they are willing to say it, there are people in their fan base who are willing to believe it.
Yes, this is the diversity of species.
And when Deng Kai and others heard these words after being reminded by reporters.
Deng Kai smiled and said: "Ronaldinho's talent is beyond doubt. As for the Champions League, I have said many times that it belongs to all of us."
"So of course he belongs to Ronaldinho too!"
"But I personally am very grateful to Barcelona for recognizing us."
"We are indeed just a UEFA Cup championship-level team. Not just that Sporting Lisbon team, but also this Manchester City team!"
"Then we will use Barcelona's good words to try to eliminate Barcelona from the competition in Camp Nou, a geomantic treasure land!"
Good guy!
This is closed!
…
Soon, the game officially started.
One hundred thousand fans were on hand to cheer for Barcelona.
The touch of blue from Manchester City fans is very sporadic.
The living environment of this Blue Moon Expeditionary Force is very bad.
But they were not afraid at all.
Because they are scary blue moons!
The ones who are afraid should be the 100,000 people wearing red and blue in this stadium!
"Okay, the game has begun. Let me quickly introduce the lineups of both sides to you."
"Barcelona has a 4-3-3 formation."
"Three forwards: Ronaldinho, Saviola, Quaresma."
"Among them, Saviola is not a traditional center, but because Ronaldinho and Quaresma are so competitive, Saviola can only move to this position."
"At present, his performance in this position is not very stable."
"The three midfielders are Davis, Marquez and Xavi."
"Wild Boar Davis came to Barcelona on loan from Juventus this season and made a huge contribution to Barcelona's defense. At the same time, on the offensive end, he also has a strong desire to perform."
"But he doesn't fit well with Barcelona's tactics."
"You can't deny the excellence of Davis, but you can't say that he has been very successful at Barcelona this season."
"But Marquez has integrated better at Barcelona."
"And Xavi, as a midfielder from Barcelona's own youth training, has performed really well. He is already a relatively well-known star in the Barcelona team and has become famous all over the world."
"Of course, considering that Xavi has played against Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo in the UEFA Youth League and European Youth Championship, his current achievements seem to be... nothing."
"Because he is already far behind Deng Kai and Ronaldo!"
"Barcelona's defense consists of Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Oleg and Reiziger."
"Goalkeeper Valdes. Manchester City fans, especially fans of Deng Kai, must know Valdes."
"This is the Barcelona youth training goalkeeper Gemini Victor Valdés who has a good relationship with Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Pepe Reina."
"According to Deng Kai's original statement, Reina is better than Valdes."
"Therefore, Valdes has always held a grudge against Deng Kai."
"He said before the game that Deng Kai will score zero points this time!"
"Everyone is familiar with Manchester City's formation. It's also a 433."
"Villa, Adriano, Ribery."
"Deng Kai, Mascherano, Toure."
"Lahm, Chiellini, Thiago Silva, Maicon."
"Cech!"
"Eh... this central defender combination?"
The commentator was stunned.
Manchester City's main center back combination in the first half of this season is Chiellini and Desailly.
In the second half it became Chiellini and Kompany.
Thiago Silva's performance at the center back position is actually very good, no worse than newcomer Kompany.
But Kompany's advantage is his height.
His aerial defense is also very important for Manchester City.
