Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 257 Champions League draw, the semi-final opponent is Real Madrid! (Ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)

The moment the whistle sounded, the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium were all excited.

"we won!"

"We're going to the Final Four!"

Manchester City fans are undoubtedly happy, they can witness history at home.

The Barcelona fans who traveled thousands of miles away to watch the game, all shed tears of regret at this time.

If we can win Manchester City at home, we are likely to be promoted at this time!

On the court, Messi put his hands on his hips, staring at the bright red number on the scoreboard, and kept his motionless posture for a long time.

Barcelona lost and fell in the Champions League again.

The last time it was in the semi-finals, this time it was in the quarter-finals.

This record is getting worse year by year.

Thinking of this, Messi sighed and turned to look at the other half.

Over there, the excited Manchester City players were throwing their winning hero Lin Quan into the air and celebrating wildly.

Iniesta walked up to Messi, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him:

"Leo, don't be sad, we will definitely come back next year!"

Messi nodded, but couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Barcelona's lineup is getting older year by year, Harvey is probably going to retire next season in this state.

Without Harvey, Barcelona's strength will be further reduced.

Can we really kill it next year?
For the first time Messi had doubts about the future.

Harvey booked Lin Quan's jersey early in the last game. This time, after the game, Cesc Fabregas found him immediately and wanted to exchange jerseys with him.

"Lin, congratulations!"

Fabregas took off his jersey, handed it to Lin Quan, and chatted with him.

To be honest, Xiaofa was a little envious of Lin Quan.

During the winter break, Manchester City once had an affair with him.

But the transfer failed in the end, and Manchester City bought De Bruyne and Kroos.

If Barcelona and Manchester City reached this deal at that time, then now, I am afraid that I am also in the celebration team of Manchester City!
Unfortunately, there is no such thing!
"Thank you, and I wish you success in winning the league!"

Lin Quan quickly took off his jersey, exchanged it with Xiaofa, and also sent his own blessing.

"Hehe, I hope!"

For Lin Quan's blessing, Xiaofa showed a wry smile.

As far as Barcelona's current state is concerned, he is pessimistic about winning the league.

In the last round, they will face Atletico Madrid at home. In terms of the state of Atletico Madrid this season, Barcelona is not sure of defeating the opponent.

Simeone's team's high-position press and iron-blooded defense restrained Barcelona a bit. Under the pressure of falling behind, they had to go all out to attack at home.

And their offense is probably in the hands of Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, if the score cannot be reversed before the last round of the game, from behind Atletico Madrid to ahead of Atletico Madrid, then in the last round of the game, Barcelona will lose the championship if they do not win.

How much pressure is this? Xiaofa has experienced it several times when he was at Arsenal.

……

In this game, Manchester City's big boss Mansour also came to the scene.

Seeing in the box that the team eliminated Barcelona at home and entered the semi-finals in a historic way, Mansour was very happy.

After investing so much money in this team, I finally saw some gains today.

On such a happy day, you have to share your joy.

So, he asked his assistant to bring over a few suitcases he had prepared in advance.

These suitcases contained all cash, a total of 500 million pounds!
He is going to take this money as a bonus for Manchester City's entry into the semi-finals, and take it to the team's locker room to distribute to the players!
When the Manchester City players finished celebrating and returned to the dressing room, they saw the pile of cash piled up like a hill.

"Damn it! So much money!"

"Did someone rob the bank? Where did the money come from?"

"By the way, if I take some secretly, no one will notice, right?"

Negredo looked eager to see the money, facing the crowd, but secretly took the money with his hands behind his back.

"There is no monitoring here, as long as you can hide it from our dozens of eyes, then take whatever you want!"

Kolarov and the others stared at him, making Negredo uncomfortable.

"Hey, just kidding, just kidding, how could such an upright, honest and friendly person like me do such a thing?"

Negredo put down the stolen money embarrassingly, annoyed why he was wearing a jersey.

Whoever designed this damn jersey has no pockets all over his body, no place to hide money if he wants to.

Seeing Negredo playing tricks here, the vice-captain Zabaleta knocked on his head and said with a smile:

"According to our boss' style, this should be a bonus from the big boss, right?"

Zabaleta has been in Manchester City for six years, and he came to the team in the year when the Middle East consortium took over Manchester City.

So I have a good understanding of the behavior of the team's big boss who spends a lot of money.

With so much money all of a sudden, it can't be anyone else except the big boss.

"Bonus? Hey, does that mean we can split it equally?"

Upon hearing that it was a bonus, the players' eyes immediately brightened.

I'm not sleepy after you say this!

clap clap!

At this moment, Pellegrini walked in.

"The distribution of bonuses is based on the contributions made to the team in these two games. Do you agree?"

Everyone took a look, and standing beside Pellegrini was the club's chairman Fahim.

Obviously, this arrangement is meant for the latter.

So everyone nodded, expressing that they had no objection to this allocation.

Everyone understands the simple truth that more work pays more.

Therefore, Pellegrini allocated the money according to starting time, goals, assists and performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

Lin Quan and other main players got the first gear, 30 pounds.

Non-starters but those who played in the game took the second tier, 10 pounds.

And finally there are the players who didn't play, at £5 each.

The remaining £100 million for the coaching component!
In this way, the £500 million was just finished.

After distributing the money, everyone was beaming.

Such a good thing, I really hope to encounter it in every game. In that case, the bonus alone can almost catch up with their annual salary!
Of course, for a player like Lin Quan whose annual salary is as high as 2000 million pounds, these bonuses are still a little bit less.

"Okay, let's go back to rest early after taking the money. We will be visiting Anfield Stadium the day after tomorrow. I don't want to see any scandals among you on the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper!"

Pellegrini walked out of the locker room after giving some instructions.

Manchester City's players are also very obedient. The league title has not yet been won, so we can't relax at this time.

At least until they beat Liverpool in the away game, they can breathe a sigh of relief!

After quickly taking a shower and changing clothes in the locker room, Lin Quan drove back to his home.

On the way back, he glanced at the score of another game.

Manchester United was kicked 3:1 by Bayern at the Allianz Arena, and was eliminated with a total score of 4:2 in the two rounds.

In this game, Bayern showed a strong dominance. In the first half, they took a 2:0 lead early. In the second half, Robben scored another goal, extending the lead to 3 goals.

Guardiola began to make substitutions and adjustments after the 75th minute, replacing Robben Ribery and other main players.

This kind of substitution has a feeling of not treating the opposite Manchester United as a human being.

So, the angry Manchester United launched a counterattack and finally scored a goal in the 85th minute of the second half.

However, Manchester United's counterattack came to a halt. They failed to stage a miracle comeback at the Allianz Arena and were unfortunately eliminated.

So far, Manchester United have lost all four fronts this year.

The Champions League stopped at the top eight, ranked 7th in the league, 4 points behind No.7 Arsenal, and basically missed the Champions League next season.

The League Cup and the FA Cup were also eliminated early. This season, Manchester United lost all four players and got nothing.

Such a record has made the Red Devils fans and the club very dissatisfied. It is rumored that the Scot has entered the final countdown to leaving Old Trafford.

But, what about after Moyes was fired?
Who should Manchester United hire to coach?
Whether they admit it or not, Ferguson's departure marks the end of an era for Manchester United.

Moyes can't lead Manchester United to achieve good results. Can other coaches really do it?
Lin Quan is not very optimistic about the future of Manchester United. After all, the original plane, Manchester United has been tossing for ten years, and it may not be over...

……

After Manchester City's home and away double play and the elimination of Barcelona, ​​the entire football world was shocked!
The Internet, TV stations, newspaper media, etc. are all boiling.

The mighty cosmic team just fell down like this?

"Manchester City is awesome, double-killing Barcelona, ​​it's awesome!"

"Hehe, before the game, the media were all touting Barcelona's rich background, such a cosmic team, and looked down on Manchester City. Now they have been slapped in the face?"

"Who would have thought that a team that has never entered the knockout stage of the Champions League can defeat the mighty Barcelona. You must know that Barcelona has the world's No.1 Messi in the team!"

"But Manchester City also has Lin Huang. Lin Huang scored 3 goals in the two rounds of the game, more goals than Messi!"

"One thing to say, Lin Huang can't be said to be a complete blow in this match, but it is indeed better than Messi's performance!"

"Messi doesn't seem to be doing well in this game. I looked at the technical statistics after the game. He only ran 6000 meters in the whole game. Isn't that too little?"

"It's really a bit rare. Modern players, if they play the whole game, don't say 9000 meters, they always have to run [-] meters, right?"

"Maybe it's because Messi is an offensive player and doesn't undertake defensive tasks, so he runs less distance?"

"Maybe it's because Messi's physical fitness is not good? I think he often walks on the field."

"Speaking of which, what is Lin Huang's running distance? I think he often sprints back and forth, and the running distance should exceed [-]?"

"Breaking ten thousand? Hehe, it's almost the same if you add another three thousand!"

"A running distance of 3000 meters? Could it be that the technical statistics are wrong? Isn't this number too exaggerated?"

"It should be right, I saw the same number!"

"Huang Lin is too good at running, right? This number is more than twice that of Messi!"

"It's even scarier than Pu Sanfei back then!"

……

Before the start of the two rounds of the game, the outside world was unanimously optimistic about the traditional giants Barcelona, ​​but Manchester City severely slapped everyone who looked down on them in the face!

The home and away double kills Barcelona, ​​which proves that their victory is well deserved, not a coincidence!
If they hadn't really surpassed Barcelona in hard power, how could they have captured the Nou Camp, and how could they have knocked out Barcelona at the Etihad Stadium?

After the game, not only did the media who had been slapped in the face feel ashamed, but shamelessly began to sing praises to Manchester City.

The media on Fleet Street, in particular, have begun to use their housekeeping skills to blow the shit out of their lives.

"Guardian": Manchester City's elimination of Barcelona is not an upset. They seized the opportunity and then won the game. We are witnessing the birth of a great team!

"The Times": Manchester City, full of ambition, courage and hunger, won the victory, congratulations to them!

This time Messi failed to become Barcelona's savior, he was more like a spectator, while Lin Quan was Manchester's hero!

"BBC": Barcelona played very painfully. If it weren't for the help of the goal post, they would have been bloodbathed by Manchester City in the first half. Manchester City's victory was a hard power and tactical victory. They may have provided the world with a restraint. Control football tactics!

"Mundo Deportivo": Failure is always bitter, but for Barcelona, ​​this season is not over yet, and there are still five rounds to play in the league. I hope Barcelona can get out of the shadow of failure, recover their form as soon as possible, and complete the league Defending!

"Daily Sports": Barcelona wasted too many opportunities at the Etihad Stadium. If we have a super striker on the front line to help Messi share the offensive pressure, then the result of this game may be completely different!
Because at the press conference before the game, Martino once publicly stated that he would submit his resignation to the club if he lost the game against Manchester City.

Therefore, after the game ended, many reporters bothered him with this question.

Martino's words like that were supposed to slap these reporters in the face with a victory.

Unexpectedly, his failure to fill the cup would cause him to suffer backlash. Facing the difficulties of the reporters, he was a bit unable to step down from the stage, and finally broke up after a quarrel.

The reporters were obviously not going to let him go like this. In the report the next day, they criticized Martino to pieces.

Bad words such as conservative tactics, arrogance, and defiantness were all given to him.

What the media said is not completely unreasonable. Martino must be responsible for Barcelona's loss.

His tactics, employment, and ability to adjust on the spot are indeed substandard.

Although his contract with Barcelona has not yet expired, but looking at this posture, once Barcelona loses the league championship, Martino will definitely pack up and leave.

I just don't know if he will choose to terminate the contract with the club voluntarily, or accept the club's liquidated damages compensation and be fired.

After the game between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​the next day, the other two games in the quarter-finals of the Champions League also started.

Sitting at home, Real Madrid easily defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2:0 and broke into the semi-finals.

In this game, Real Madrid once again showed the world the power of [-] million flying together.

Especially Bell, he is almost unbeatable on the wing, and his lightning-like speed made the Paris players miserable.

Bell scored a goal in the 3rd minute of the opening, which made Paris fall into a passive state from the beginning.

Paris Saint-Germain need to score at least 2 goals to qualify!

Under the leadership of Ibrahimovic, Paris Saint-Germain launched a counterattack tenaciously, trying to change their fate against the sky.

But Ronaldo's goal in the 57th minute completely killed their hopes of advancing!
In the end, at the Bernabeu, Paris was beaten into Paris by the powerful Real Madrid, and fell on the way to the semi-finals.

In another game, Atletico Madrid, who returned to the home game, showed an extremely tenacious style.

He used his tenacious defense and mad dog-style pressing to limit Dortmund's offense, and in the second half, he took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and scored a goal from Diego Costa.

This was the only goal scored by the two teams in the two rounds.

But relying on this valuable goal, Atletico Madrid successfully broke into the semi-finals.

After the game, the steel line of defense built by Simeone shocked the whole of Europe.

Looking at the whole of Europe, there are not many teams capable of defending against Dortmund's offense, and teams as strong as Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona may not be able to do so.

However, Atletico Madrid kept their opponents clean in the two rounds, which shocked the outside world with their defensive ability.

No wonder Atletico Madrid can become the leader of La Liga, and can seize the opportunity to win the championship in the hands of the two top giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their strength should not be underestimated!

After this game, Simeone and the Atletico Madrid he coached became famous in Europe, and Atletico Madrid has since entered the ranks of the top teams.

Of course, compared with Manchester City's elimination of Barcelona, ​​Simeone and Atletico Madrid are still much less popular.

After the game on April 4, the draw for the Champions League semi-finals began soon.

After Manchester City finished training for the day, Pellegrini called the players together to watch the draw at the club.

The first to be drawn was Bayern, and their opponent was Atletico Madrid.

The Bayern manager Hoeness who came to the scene was relieved after seeing the signing, and seemed to think that the result was not bad.

It's no wonder he thinks so. Real Madrid's current strength has amazed the whole of Europe. No one wants to meet them before the last moment.

Bayern naturally doesn't want to touch this brow!

As for Manchester City, Bayern and them have encountered in the group stage before.

Bayern suffered a draw and a loss in the two rounds of home and away games, and did not take advantage of it at all.

Although Bayern's strength is not necessarily worse than Manchester City, they don't want to meet Manchester City again.

Therefore, among the three opponents, only Atletico Madrid is the most suitable for them.

After the match between Atletico Madrid and Bayern came out, the remaining two teams were naturally grouped together.

Manchester City will face the powerful Real Madrid in the semi-final stage, and according to the schedule, they are home first and away, and the schedule is very unfavorable to them.

Seeing the result of the draw, the smile on the face of Manchester City chairman Fahim who came to the scene froze a little.

On the other side, the expression of Real Madrid's chairman Florentino is also a bit unsightly.

What the hell is UEFA doing?

Seeing that Lin from Real Madrid and Manchester City has been rumored to have an affair, you can draw us together?
But this result is not bad. Among the three opponents, the most suitable for Real Madrid may be Manchester City.

The last thing they want to encounter is Atletico Madrid, followed by Bayern.

This season, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid played against each other twice, one draw and one loss, and the losing one was still at their own home court.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid is like a stinky stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, hard to beat!

　Happy Children's Day everyone, I wish you all the best!
　　By the way, ask for a monthly pass!
