"Huh, I have to say that Rijkaard is so crazy, four three three, their midfield defense is too weak, you know they are facing a terrible opponent - Xiao, their midfield interception ability is too weak .”
"Xavi Iniesta Jaccard relies too much on the players from La Masia. One of them has just recovered from injury, and the other is just a player who has just proven himself. Deco's loss is so surprising."
"Although Arsenal are known for their exquisite skills and not their physical dominance, they are an English team. Once the game becomes anxious, it will be difficult for Barcelona's technical midfielder to suppress the opponent. I understand what Rijkaard wants to do. Play your own offensive rhythm, but in my opinion, this is exactly the opposite. If the defensive gap is too large, Barcelona will sacrifice its offensive energy."
"It's too risky. Although Barcelona's offense is very good, the opponent is Arsenal, who is the most powerful attacking team in Europe. With such a midfield combination, it is really hard to believe that Barcelona will ensure that they get the midfield effect they want. This is not a good choice."
"Midfield, it seems that the key point of the game is in the midfield. Is Rijkaard going to use offense instead of defense?"
"Messi didn't play? You must know that in the past few games, Messi's performance has been better than that of other Barcelona players. He has eight goals and five assists in the past six games. It is incredible that such a player has been ignored."
"Messi's creativity in the frontcourt is much better than Giuly. Rijkaard's decision is questionable. Obviously Messi is a player in big scenes. In a heavyweight game like the Champions League final, his performance is more worth looking forward to. "
"Is Rijkaard too conservative? Obviously. In terms of using young players, he still can't compare with Wenger. La Facia's young players are no worse than Arsenal's players. Cesc Fabregas was also theirs when he was a child. A player who is now growing up here at Arsenal."
"Rijkaard's starting lineup seems to be somewhat contradictory. In the midfield, he chooses creativity and ignores confrontation, and in the frontcourt. He puts Barcelona's hottest and most dynamic player on the bench. As for choosing Giuly who can organize, I am afraid Rijkaard is also hesitant, wanting to attack but also wanting to be stable, which is not a good sign."
...
Some people agree, and some people question it. When Barcelona's starting lineup came out, Barcelona's three midfield partners made many commentators talk about it. Indeed, facing this Arsenal with no solution, even if the opponent puts heavy troops in the center It was difficult to guarantee that he would not concede a goal, but Rijkaard only fielded three midfielders, and one of them had just recovered from injury. The other was a 'newcomer', which made a large number of neutral commentators turn to Arsenal. Questions were raised about Rijkaard's formation, especially the fact that Messi, who many celebrities were looking forward to, did not play.
At this time, Rijkaard did not know that his military use would be subject to a lot of controversy from the beginning, even if he knew that he had no time to care about it. He stood silently on the sidelines, arms folded, and looked calmly at every Arsenal player. Rijkaard's brows twitched involuntarily after even one stop. Obviously, his heart was not as calm as his face.
'Lehmann, Eboue, Toure, Campbell, Flamini, Pires, Fabregas, Silva, Van Persie, Henry and - Xiao'
Seeing this lineup, Rijkaard was excited but also fearful.
Arsenal's midfielder has lost the tough Vieira. It's true that Silva is an engineer, but at this point in the schedule, Arsenal has been competing continuously. The Brazilian iron man, who has rarely been rotated this season, has already reached the limit, and Fabray
Gase and Pires are one old and one young, and this season is definitely not their respective peaks.
Because of this, Rijkaard is reassured. Xavi's current condition is much better than Pires, while Iniesta is far more mature than Fabregas, and Van Bommel is also physically stronger than Silva.
, Barcelona’s midfield is definitely enough to compete with its opponents, even if Xiao Ge is added to it.
But it is precisely because of the addition of Xiao Ge that Rijkaard is worried. On the cards, Barcelona's three midfielders will not be older and smaller than the old ones. Arsenal's tired four-midfield structure is less powerful, and
This three-midfield structure is the best that can embody the essence of Barcelona's system at this stage, and it can also best demonstrate Barcelona's strong control of the ball. However, Arsenal's four midfielders have Xiao Ge, the biggest variable in the world.
Rijkaard had to worry about his interception ability. For this reason, he put Messi, who is more inclined to rush forward, on the bench, and Giulipai, who has better control of the rhythm, is more stable in holding the ball, and is closer to the midfielder.
The purpose of playing is to balance the lack of players in Barcelona's midfield. There is a transitional player to free up Ronaldinho and allow him to devote himself to the attack in the frontcourt. Otherwise, there will be two football fields jumping around.
The existence of elves, once Barcelona's midfield is controlled by Arsenal at a certain time and cannot hold the ball in the midfield, Barcelona's entire system will collapse.
This is Rijkaard's own judgment. It seems to be the choice of Messi and Giuly, but in the final analysis, it is a trade-off between Ronaldinho and Messi. Rijkaard undoubtedly sides with Ronaldinho.
On Nardinho's side, the current Messi has not grown up enough for Barcelona to give up the world's top star for him. He is now more of a surprise player than the hub of the frontcourt.
Like a giant beast roaring, after the camera swept across the Barcelona players, the on-site cameras quickly captured the Arsenal players. The fans at the scene seemed to have been injected with stimulants. The huge cheers completely covered up the noise of the Barcelona players coming on the stage.
There is no doubt that purple jerseys definitely occupy the majority of the stands at the Stade de France.
After all, French players make up the majority, and Arsenal’s French heritage is fully revealed at this time. Arsenal’s head coach and captain are both French. It is also the year of the World Cup, and the sense of nationality is extremely strong in the hearts of French people.
Strong, although they got the home jersey, in fact, Barcelona, which has less than 20,000 fans, is playing away games. In this aspect, Arsenal undoubtedly has a huge advantage. Neutral fans almost become Arsenal.
camp, not to mention they also have the number one star in football - Xiao Ge.
Even Henry, who is France's leading forward and has endless expectations from countless French fans in this World Cup, cannot compare with Xiao Ge's popularity at this time, not only because Xiao Ge has achieved unprecedented glory this season, but also because of this period.
Over time, the entire football world has paid endless attention to Xiao Ge, which has made Xiao Ge's image penetrate into every corner of the world for a long time, focusing on unknown people around the world. Of course, female fans have contributed a large part.
When Xiao Ge's handsome face appeared in front of the screen, no matter how much they 'hated' it before the game or how they arranged this topic-filled No. 1, their attention was undoubtedly attracted to this familiar stranger.
On the body.
The crowds of figures were moving like flags, and the sound was like thunder roaring.
This is what Xiao Ge felt when his eyes touched the stands. They were so densely packed that the human eye could no longer tell who was doing what actions.
The stadium is majestic and the momentum is high. No need to be sure, Xiao Ge already knows that this is not just a game, but a duel, a duel field that belongs to everyone but belongs only to himself.
As if he felt the heat of the focus, and as if he couldn't calm down the excitement in his heart, Xiao Ge saw the live video screen locked on him for a long time, ignoring any attention and no pressure. At this time, Xiao Ge's only thought was
For Xiao Ge in this upcoming game, everything in the outside world will only make him want to run and conquer even more. The only desire to conquer is like a lion waiting to be eaten. Xiao Ge holds his head high.
, took the lead in uttering his strong voice: "Phew! I'm coming!!!"
There was no focus, but his piercing eyes were staring in front of him like electricity. His face was as calm as water, and his tall figure stood proudly and scanned the audience. The inexplicable agitation in his heart could not be calmed down. Xiao Ge flaunted himself wantonly.
With confidence, he accepted the cheers given to him by the audience.
"Xiao!" "Xiao!" "Xiao!" "Xiao!" "Xiao!"...
Looking at the domineering and calm figure of Song in the camera, the whole Stade de France started to sing "Xiao", from here to there, and this was just the appearance before the game started.
This genius who emerged this season has completely impressed fans all over the world. This is the era. Xiao Ge's miraculous achievements, glory, and Arsenal's miraculous season and journey have made fans feel that a great era is coming.
Starting, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Van Persie, Fabregas, Kaká..., an era of superstars will begin again, and this, the first to rush out, is this Xiao Ge who can overpower the stars - this incredible
The representative of the era, and this final of the king of kings is more like a touch of emotion, giving them the desire to shout for it.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"Damn it, who does this bastard think he is? He's so arrogant."
"This playboy, apart from being famous for his scandals, what else does he have? We will definitely defeat him."
"Go back to your women, clown!"
"Hmph, the competition is not for bragging, you arrogant guy."
"Look, look at his pretentious attitude, it's really disgusting."
...
Seeing Xiao Ge's attitude before the game, Barcelona fans were immediately dissatisfied. Although there were fewer people than Arsenal fans at the scene, there were still tens of thousands of people who were loud enough to make the scene roar, and the shouts and shouts filled the whole place.
Losers do not lose, this is the portrayal of Barcelona fans at this time. They cannot accept anyone being above their own team, even the players they most want to covet.
