There is a dream called football

"Arthur, who do you think will advance to the finals more?" the reporter asked.

At this time, Wenger was of course watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. He smiled and said: "AC Milan and Barcelona are both very strong. I think it would be good for either of them to reach the final."

"Ha ha."

That's what Wenger said, and actually he also thought so. After all, these two teams are now the top teams in Europe. They really didn't say who is easier to beat and who is more difficult to deal with, so Wenger thinks there is no difference.

On the way to Camp Nou, these players felt a long-lost sense of relief. After all, their own test was over, and now they were watching others fight to the death.

Arriving at the stadium stands, Van Persie bought some food.

"Would you like popcorn? Li Qiao?"

Li Qiao chuckled and reached out to take it.

In fact, I found that after taking off the jersey, everyone still looked like a big boy.

"I like this feeling. Watching others fight, we can eat popcorn ourselves."

"Then just be a fan from now on."

"..."

"Then I feel like something is missing."

"Haha, you are really difficult to maintain."

"By the way, what do you think of this game?"

At this time, Barcelona's Meng Er and Milan Dynasty can be said to be the two strongest teams in Europe, so there is really nothing to say. Li Qiao doesn't know if the plot is the same as in the previous life, but in terms of card strength

, then Barcelona is undoubtedly the stronger side.

This was indeed the case after the game started. Barcelona led by Ronaldinho and AC Milan led by Kaka played fiercely.

The two are also the core of the Brazilian team this summer, but there are no brothers on the court, and the two sides play really fiercely.

But soon, the midfielder composed of Iniesta and Deco controlled the rhythm of the game, and Barcelona's passing and controlling football slowly came into play.

Coupled with Cameroonian Eto'o's impact from the front, Milan's defense was in turmoil.

But that's how football matches are. It was AC Milan who got the chance first. When the green light came out in Barcelona's defense, Pirlo sent a ball straight to Inzaghi in front of him. The latter volleyed the goal from the penalty area.

back corner.

This is an action that only Inzaghi can do. It is weird and the angle of the volley is also very tricky.

Fortunately, this time the ball went out of the baseline and Valdez did not make an effective save.

However, the fans at Camp Nou were shocked into a cold sweat. In the last round, Barcelona won 1-0 away from home. If this goal was scored, everything would be back to the same starting line. And every goal scored by Milan after that was

It was an away goal, which is really scary.

But Barcelona is not a fuel-efficient lamp. They soon returned the favor. After several passes in the midfield, the ball reached the feet of Giuli on the wing. He made a pass. Milan's defense made a small mistake and was blocked.

Eto'o got a chance to head the ball. He jumped up and hit the ball hard towards the ground. The ball hit the ground hard and then bounced off the crossbar.

Still 0 to 0.

The first half ended 0-0. Both sides showed the most advanced style of play in world football, and also represented the top of Europe. Many people even said that the game between Barcelona and AC Milan was a final that was held in advance, and Li Qiao couldn't help it.

disagree.

During the halftime break, the busiest people were the head coaches of both sides, Rijkaard on one side and Ancelotti on the other.

They are all instilling tactics over and over again. In this level of competition, the head coach is very important.

In some low-level games, the coach arranges tactics, but the players cannot do it. Many times, it is in vain, but in this level of competition, the players can basically do the tactics instilled by the head coach.

, so it is very important.

This is similar to making a movie. If the actors are bad, then it will be of no use no matter how good the director is. If you ask Ang Lee to teach you acting, you won’t know how to act.

Ancelotti's thinking is to send the ball behind the opponent and to the forward line, and let Shevchenko and Inzaghi solve the problem, while Barcelona's football thinking is to keep the ball at their feet.

Passing the football is their philosophy.

At the beginning of the second half, Milan's offense was even faster, with three passes and two passes before Inzaghi was in front, and he was also able to complete many high-quality shots. On Barcelona's side, Deco and Iniesta took advantage of them.

The court is organized in an orderly manner. As long as they get the ball, they must let the ball stay at their feet for a few minutes, add up to a small sum, and finally wear down the opponent's combat effectiveness.

In comparison, Wenger thinks Barcelona's football style is more terrifying because he doesn't even give you the ball. What can you do?

Li Qiao knows that in the next 10 years, pass-and-control football will be the mainstream in world football. It was not until the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the disastrous defeats of Germany and Spain that anyone shouted the slogan that pass-and-control is dead.

Li Qiao found it interesting that he was actually witnessing the history of passing football, but at this time few people called it passing football.

The last 10 minutes were the most intense. Milan, which was lagging behind, replaced Gilardino, veteran Rui Costa, and Cafu. This was a last-ditch effort, but this time there was no luck.

Favoring AC Milan, Barcelona saved 0-0 at Camp Nou and advanced to the final 1-0 in the two rounds.

After watching this game, many Arsenal players lamented that possession of the ball is the best defense, keeping the ball firmly at your feet.

"Barcelona is strong again."

"They are already one of the strongest teams in Europe."

"Boss, hurry up and think of a way. The next opponent is us."

"Haha, don't worry, there are still 20 days left, I will definitely find a way, we are in hot demand."

****

After the game, as the victorious side, Rijkaard was very happy. He thanked the fans and his players many times.

"The greatest thing is the fans and my players. They executed my tactics perfectly."

“Were Barcelona’s tactics too conservative in this game?”

Rijkaard smiled and shook his head, "No, I don't think so. I know what the fans want is a confrontation. Maybe the final score is 3-3, and everyone will be satisfied, but our players cannot advance at full speed in a season.

, what we need is to advance, so for me, 0-0 is perfect."

"Haha, your remarks are very similar to Capello's."

"Haha, this should be a compliment."

"Tell us about your next opponent."

Rijkaard hesitated to speak.

"Haha, let me have fun for a while. It seems to be a long time ago. I want to have fun with the players tonight."

"Well, congratulations to your team for advancing."

"Thank you."
