Chapter 083 The top 16 have their own joys and sorrows

Stuttgart came to Barcelona, ​​and the second leg of the 1/8 finals of the 2009-10 Champions League that started at Camp Nou was almost a game without any suspense. Barcelona's score of 3:1 in the first leg even made today lose its competitive meaning. .

Big comebacks are common in world football, and Barcelona is not a tough team that can't turn over. They have also had their share of embarrassments, but not as spectacularly as AC Milan. But Camp Nou refused to make a big comeback. The home court here is made of steel. And Stuttgart is not a strong man who can tear steel bars with his hands, and some unnatural things are beyond their ability.

But Guardiola has not been careless at all. This season's transfer investment of more than 200 million has allowed Barcelona to directly aim for the championship. The runner-up is a complete failure, which puts a lot of pressure on Guardiola. Except for Busquets and Abidal's two injuries, Guardiola only rested Xavi. In fact, Xavi was also a little disadvantaged.

Alves' comeback allowed Puyol to return to partner Pique in the middle, and Zhuoyang replaced Xavi in ​​the midfield, assisted by Toure and Xiaobai. Ibrahimovic sat on the bench in front, and Messi, Henry and Pedro all fired three arrows.

Compared with three weeks ago, Stuttgart's lineup has almost no changes. In fact, it doesn't matter if there are changes, so I won't talk about them.

A brief ceremony was held at Camp Nou before the game. The United Nations Children's Fund (unicef) appointed Messi as the international ambassador of the United Nations Children's Charity Fund. The formal appointment letter was issued a few days ago, and today is just a public ceremony.

As an old international ambassador, Zhuo Yang also performed his duties at the scene, mainly to highlight and build momentum.

The appointment of image ambassadors is very cautious, especially related to the interests of children. If the review is not rigorous and a scandal that violates the image occurs, it will be a heavy blow to this cause. Therefore, unicef's image ambassadors are rare, especially those at the international level. International ambassadors in the football world are becoming increasingly rare.

Zhuo Yang was able to become an international image ambassador, Raio worked hard, and Fatty used almost all his connections. Of course, Zhuoyang's identity also takes a big advantage, because there are no professional players at his level in China and even Asia. China is the most populous country in the world, Asia has more than 60% of the world's population, and football is the world's largest country. First movement, unicef ​​needs such an ambassador.

And Zhuoyang Yangguang's positive image is also very dominant, especially his high-quality piano, which adds a lot of points to him. Only then did he finally get his wish, which is a lot of luck.

Messi won the title of international ambassador this time, and Zhuo Yang played a lot of role in it. After all, he has had many dealings with many high-level officials of unicef ​​over the years and is relatively familiar with it.

Last October,

A children's charity fund in Messi's personal name was established, and Zhuo Yang supported 1 million yuan in donations. In January this year, Zhuo Yang and Messi jointly funded the establishment of a specialized children's hospital at the Hospital Valld'Hebron in Barcelona. Val d'Hebron is a public hospital, and the charity of Zhuo Yang and Messi will benefit countless children from ordinary families in Barcelona and throughout Catalonia.

But it was club president Joan Laporta who played the biggest role in making Messi a charity ambassador.

Laporta used his connections to actively promote this matter, and even the original proposal for this matter came from him. Because it was during Laporta's tenure that the unicef ​​logo was printed on the front of Barcelona's jersey, and it is still there today. Unicef ​​misses him very much. Therefore, it is easier for Messi to be an ambassador than Zhuo Yang.

Messi has a problem with Laporta, and the whole world knows it. The reason is that Laporta drove away Ronaldinho and Rijkaard. But Laporta didn't pay much attention to this matter. Depending on the position and height of his standing, his natural vision would be different. Messi can only consider his personal feelings and football happiness, but Laporta cannot. He must focus on the development strategy from the management and competitive performance of the entire club.

It can also be said that Laporta is not as knowledgeable as Messi. In his opinion, Messi is an angry child.

The game went as everyone agreed, Barcelona played smoothly, but the 5:0 score was still a bit unexpected.

In the 12th minute, Zhuoyang made a direct pass in a counterattack. Messi took the ball from the right and cut inside the top of the penalty area before shooting with his left foot.

In the 19th minute, Alves made a 45° cross from the right, and Zhuoyang's header from the left side of the penalty area broke Lehmann's energy and the goal.

In the 21st minute, Messi made a pass from the middle. Toure's counter-offside on the left side of the penalty area attracted Lehmann to attack and then crossed the middle with his left foot. Pedro outflanked the ball in the middle and sent the ball into the empty goal.

Leading 3:0 in the first half, the game became a mere formality.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Pedro counterattacked and passed back from the right. Zhuo Yang passed the ball with his heel in front of the penalty area. After Messi controlled the ball at the top of the penalty area and turned around, he scored twice with a low shot with his left foot.

After that, Zhuoyang, Henry, and Xiaobai were replaced one after another, and Ibrahimovic, Bojan, and Xiao Milito came on to test the waters. In the 88th minute, Bojan scored with a push shot, breaking his five-month scoring drought. Barcelona 5:0.

Barcelona proudly entered the Champions League quarter-finals with a total score of 8:1. Such a brilliant performance will inevitably become the biggest favorite for the championship this season. One family is happy and the other is sad, but the arch-enemy Real Madrid still cannot escape the fate of the "Sixteenth Champions League". The new Galaxy Battleship once again fell to 1/8.

Real Madrid drew 1:1 with Lyon at the Bernabeu thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's goal. The 1:2 score shattered their dream of winning their tenth Champions League at home early. The venue for this Champions League final is the Bernabeu, and perhaps Barcelona is more eager to reach the top there than Real Madrid.

AC Milan was defeated at Old Trafford. The score of 0:4 was like a bayonet, killing the Milanese people with blood. 2:7, this was a rare two-leg defeat in the history of Milan. Ronaldinho, Xiaobei, Duck, Sleepy Skin, and Jiuye, none of them could complete the rescue. Zhuo Yang didn't even dare to call them.

In a battle between six Musketeers brothers, the second brother defeated Scar with 2:1 and 1:0 at home and away. Mourinho led his Inter Milan to put his old club Chelsea to death. Ancelotti and AC Milan may miss each other.

Piggy and his Bayern eliminated Fiorentina 4:4 with an away goal advantage, while Madiburg gave way to Sevilla with a total score of 2:3.

Among the top eight, only Serie A and the Bundesliga remain, with England, Spain and France each occupying two. This year is the beginning of UEFA President Platini's drastic reform of the Champions League. Many small league teams have entered. However, starting from the top 16, the Champions League has returned to its original order. Small leagues have been eliminated one after another, and Hungary has appeared. Champion Debrecen lost six games in a row and conceded 19 goals.

Khedira has a big heart and can also be cheeky. Although he lost his pants 0:5, he still came to the party as scheduled, and Zhuo Yang really introduced him and Pique to each other.

Naturally, they were accompanied by friends from their respective teams. Khedira called out Tresch, Delpierre and others. It was already very late when the game ended, and everyone didn't go too far. It was just an ordinary gathering to connect with each other. It was lively, but not lively for future activities.

Although Khedira is a fun-loving prodigal and has the same demeanor as his second brother back then, he knows that Boss Zhuo is very strict in these aspects. When he was single before, he just pretended to be single, but now he refuses to spend a lot of time. Therefore, everyone did not embarrass Zhuo Yang, and to be honest, no one dared to embarrass him. After a lively discussion, they dispersed.

After seeing off Khedira and others, as soon as Zhuo Yang arrived at the parking lot, Pique quickly caught up with him.

"Zhuoyang, wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

Zhuoyang looked at him, then at Messi, and asked Pique: "What is it? Is it important?"

"Well, it's very important."

"Zhuoyang, Xiaojie, let me take the first step." Don't gossip about private matters, this is Messi's virtue. "If you two are going to do something bad, don't let the media catch you~"

"Get out!"

Watching Messi drive away first, Zhuoyang asked Pique: "What's the matter? You're so serious, can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"Come on, Zhuo Yang, find a quiet place and I'll buy you two drinks. Please speak slowly."
