The evening of April 13.

It is around 2:30 in the morning in China.

“We stopped in the quarterfinals this time last year, but that time there were a lot of reasons that stopped us…”

In the locker room, Van Basten is undertaking the final pre-war mobilization:

"At that time, many players were injured. We encountered volcanic ash in Iceland again on the away game. We had to take the train for a long time, and were seriously affected in all aspects. But this time it was different. We were in a well-equipped and were at home. We had more physical strength. We also scored three away goals in our hands, tied the arrogant Barcelona at Camp Nou... I couldn't think of any reason we would lose to them!"

-

When Long Shute saw Messi close to the player channel, he felt the Argentinian's expression seemed a little tired.

While lying in the hospital to rest, Barcelona defeated their 31st round league rival Almeria 3-1. When Barcelona fell behind with one goal in the first half, the Football King stepped forward and helped the team complete the reversal with two shots and one pass.

Ajax, who has secured the championship in the Netherlands, can take a large rotation to allow the main players to get a rest, but Barcelona cannot.

On the one hand, due to the injuries of Abidal, Puyor and others, their already thin first-team lineup is even more stretched, especially in the forward position. Not only is the bench not reliable, but even the main forward Villa has been in a goal drought.

On the other hand, as Mourinho joins Real Madrid, the competition for La Liga championships is becoming increasingly fierce. As of now, there is only a three-point gap between the two teams. With seven rounds of games left, the situation will reverse if you are not careful, so the cautious Guardiola is even more afraid to use substitute players to take risks.

In addition, after three days of this Champions League match, they will usher in the second leg of the Spanish national derby.

This is almost a battle of Tianwangshan that can determine the ownership of the league championship. Whether to have a league or a Champions League is a big problem facing Guardiola and the players.

Moreover, what makes them even more troublesome is still to come:

As Barcelona and Real Madrid enter the Spanish Cup semi-finals, they will immediately start two rounds of cup matches after the national derby, which means that the two teams will have to play three national derbys in just half a month... Even Barcelona, ​​which has always been stabilizing its opponents in recent years, has collapsed!

In three century battles, each of which may determine the ownership of a champion, so you must do your best in every game. Therefore, in the Champions League, Barcelona will inevitably want to spend the least effort to resolve the battle as soon as possible.

They have to attack!

-

When the referee from England, Clattenberg, blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Ajax immediately felt the pressure from the opponent.

Villa rushed over to chase the football and wanted to launch a counter-attack directly, but Long Shute, who was receiving the ball, was extremely focused. He just gently moved the "Gourd Baby" and then started an offensive.

"Long Shute easily got rid of Villa's pressing. The defense level of the two of them was obviously not the same level. The Calabash's lower foot was obviously very amateur. He needed to learn more from Puyol or Mascherano..."

Today, the person in charge of the commentary was He Wei, who is known as the poet. The guest he partnered with was Xu Yang, a CP group specially found for him by CCTV. Because both of them have a low style, they rarely have passionate emotions, and some fans are also teased as the "Yangwei" group...

Xu Yang coughed: "Barcelona is obviously a little anxious. After all, they are at a disadvantage now, but I suggest Guardiola not to attack too hard, because Ajax's defensive counterattack is quite sharp, and if you are not careful, you will tear their defense line!"

As Real Madrid fans, they are not so kind-hearted. They just want Barcelona to hesitate for a while in defense and offense...

But Guardiola and his disciples will not hesitate. Their purpose is very clear, that is, to score one goal as soon as possible and then score more goals!

Only by destroying Ajax with a Thunder offensive after the opening game can they get a valuable break!

But Van Basten was completely opposite to what they thought: the White Swans' team had no physical concerns, so he was more happy to see both sides continue to hold the draw.

"Let's take a look at Barcelona's starting lineup first," He Wei flipped the list in his hand. "Due to Iniesta's suspension, Dutchman Afel got the opportunity to start. Apart from that, there was no change in Barcelona, ​​but Mascherano and Busquets changed positions."

Xu Yang shook his head: "Pugaldiola may have learned a lesson from the last game. There are indeed serious problems with Pique and Busquets' return to defense, so letting the slightly faster Little Ma Ge serve as the center back to make up for Pique's shortcomings, but... it may be too risky to suddenly change the center back in such an important game?"

Of course, it is a bit risky, because Mascherano has never played as a central defender before, but Guardiola no longer cares about his height. Compared to his height of less than 1.75 meters, his fierce fighting on the defense line is what the head coach needs.

The most important thing is that with Barcelona's current defensive players, only Little Ma Ge, who is also from South America, can compete with Buck-Good Su. Busquets and Pique have been worn by Su Xiaoya and Longshute so that they can't take care of themselves...

-

“hello!”

Messi heard someone say hello to him.

Red top, white sleeves and shorts, the number is 8.

In addition, the name printed behind him is very strange, called long...

As a new generation of football kings, Messi always feels a little reserved in front of unfamiliar outsiders. He just nodded slightly and then focused on the court.

Long Shute grinned.

Taking the initiative to say hello to Messi does not mean that he has really become a fan of the other party. In fact, this is a psychological hint of his to Messi.

His ability to say hello easily means that he is in good spirits and is confident.

"sorry," his psychological offensive continued, "You won't get any chance in today's game, I promise."

Messi suddenly stopped.

He looked up at Long Shute, and the two sword-like eyebrows were particularly dazzling.

"I will beat you, and Barcelona will definitely win," Messi jumped out one word at a time, "I promise!"

Messi's momentum and anger soared at the same time at this moment. He would never allow such a post-90s generation to dare to make such a provocation in front of him!

It is said that you born in the 1990s are a generation that is disrespectful to elders, so let me, Leo Messi, the born in the 1980s teach you how to respect your elders!

Long Shute shrugged.
Chapter completed!
