The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 702 Goal!

Returning to White Hart Lane again, Cesc Fabregas was full of regrets.

He is very familiar with this stadium, because he has played here for five years, that is, during these five years, he has become the world's top midfielder, and he has also become the focus of countless fans. .

Once, he once thought about retiring here, because he liked the fans here very much, they are very simple and fanatical, but returning to his hometown, wearing Barcelona jerseys and playing for Barcelona, ​​this is also what he grew up with. Dreams are what his whole family expects of him.

It is often difficult for people to achieve the best of both worlds. Between Tottenham Hotspur, which cultivated him, and Barcelona, ​​​​the love of his life, he can only choose one and give up the other. In the end, he chose Barcelona because he Knowing that he is a Spaniard and a Catalan, Barcelona is his only destination.

Another thing that many people don't know is that when Fabregas decided to leave Barcelona for Chelsea, Guardiola's opinion played a big role in promoting, and what Guardiola told him at the time was to play outside. After returning to Barcelona after his strength, it is difficult for Cesc Fabregas to refuse the invitation from Guardiola.

However, even so, his gratitude to Tottenham Hotspur and respect to Ye Qiu did not diminish a bit because of this, but it was only after he joined Barcelona that he really realized that it was not All teams are as simple and professional as Tottenham.

In Tottenham Hotspur, players only need to concentrate on playing well. There are professional people to help you deal with your salary, commercial sponsorship, off-court life chores, etc., even if you are not happy. , There will also be a psychological counselor who will come to chat with you, and that Fatty Luo who likes to be funny.

But in Barcelona, ​​especially after Russell came to power, the team became very complicated, full of many, many contradictions and problems, such as Barcelona missed Villa, which led to the Spanish international switching to Liverpool, which made Gua Diora was very dissatisfied.

But soon, Rosell announced the launch of an investigation into the former chairman Laporta, who believed that he had committed serious corruption during his tenure as the chairman of Barcelona, ​​which led to serious losses for the team. This is the first time that Florentino has not done this kind of thing even after Calderon, the worst chairman of Real Madrid, stepped down.

Laporta found Guardiola, the unlucky guy who wanted to switch to politics but couldn't make a difference, and his life became fragmented. Once he faced a financial fraud investigation, he might even have all his property frozen, crying to Guardiola, and then The reporter was also grateful to Laporta for giving him the opportunity to serve as the head coach, so he expressed his sympathy for Laporta in an interview, but this brought Russell's anger and dissatisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, Cruyff sent back the title of honorary chairman of Barcelona, ​​directly announcing a split at the top, and Guardiola was undoubtedly on the side of his mentor, which also led to a delay in the renewal of his contract with Barcelona Difficult to develop.

Another very important contradiction is that the assistant coach, that is, the most popular head coach candidate of Barcelona next season, Vilanova got cancer and underwent surgery, which was very successful, but everyone was frightened for a while, and Abby was the same. Dahl's tumor and the absence of the French left back also made Barcelona's left wing a weakness.

If it is said that some incidents are just emergencies and do not have a great impact on the team, then the division of the management has directly led to conflicts within the team. At least many people are already dissatisfied with the status quo of Barcelona. For example, the team's number one center Van Persie has already expressed his intention to leave the team.

Perhaps, many people are right. Catalans have very good life values, that is, to redeem their souls through hard work and dedicate themselves to their work. This kind of values ​​has made countless Catalans The Nigerians created and proved their value in life.

But Catalans also have typical character flaws, that is, they are too sentimental and too vulnerable.

When Cesc Fabregas got off the Barcelona bus and saw the cockfighting statue above the White Hart Lane Stadium, he really had a kind of regret. He felt that playing in Barcelona was too stressful and too much here. It's complicated, but it's not as pure and simple as Tottenham Hotspur.

But, how can there be regret medicine in the world?

What's more, Fabregas's sentimentality is nothing more than an emotion that surges up for a moment, and when he calms down, it fades away, and he doesn't think there is any problem.

After all, Barcelona is where he really belongs, isn't it?
After calming down, Cesc Fabregas had another kind of worry. Will Tottenham Hotspur fans take revenge on him like Barcelona fans throwing pig heads at Figo?What kind of attitude will Tottenham Hotspur's teammates see him?Still have a head, how will he treat this player who has left the team?

Cesc Fabregas’ worries lasted for a long time. From the moment he walked into the visiting team’s locker room, changed his clothes, walked out of the locker room, out of the player’s tunnel, and was about to go to the field for warm-up, he felt uneasy. put it down.

Many, many Tottenham Hotspur fans were shouting Fabregas' name, Van Persie's name, Mascherano's name, and some fans even typed their images in the stands , to show that Tottenham Hotspur have not forgotten these three players who once played for Tottenham Hotspur.

All three also raised their hands and applauded the fans in the stands to thank the fans for their love and support.

"Hi, Cesc!"

Fabregas had just walked out of the player tunnel. What he didn't expect was that Ye Qiu was nearby. He was just chatting with Guardiola. As soon as he saw Fabregas, he greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, head!" Fabregas blurted out, unable to change his words for a while, and then glanced at Guardiola anxiously, who also smiled, obviously not paying attention to this sentence.

"Come on, but don't expect to defeat us!" Ye Qiu joked.

"Hi, Robin!" Before Cesc Fabregas could react, Ye Qiu clapped hands with Batman Robin van Persie who walked over with a smile. The relationship between the Dutchman and Ye Qiu was actually closer and they kept in touch frequently. He belonged to that A player with a more outgoing personality.

"Head, I have a feeling that I can score a goal today, and I can score a lot!" Van Persie challenged with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, you scored twice in a row recently!" Ye Qiu also responded with a smile, but soon changed the subject, "But you can only compete with Getafe in Zaragoza. Do you think Volkswagen POLO can compare with Bugatti Veyron for those teams who are playing wild?"

For some reason, Ye Qiu thought of Roland Sheppas' red Volkswagen POLO.

"I'll prove it to you!" Van Persie said with a smile, pointing at Ye Qiu.

"Javier!" Ye Qiu didn't refute, and noticed Mascherano standing next to Van Persie, "I told Cavani to focus on your head and hit you, you'd better be careful! "After finishing speaking, he laughed as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Mascherano's expression was a little cold at first, but after hearing Ye Qiu's words, he laughed, "I'm not afraid of him!"

After seeing off a few players, Ye Qiu turned around and noticed that Guardiola was also smiling, a little embarrassed, and he was getting close to his players in front of the head coach, especially in such an important game, Ye Qiu Thinking, is it a little too much for me?
"To be honest, I admire you a lot. At least your relationship with these players is still so good even now." Guardiola said this with embarrassment and helplessness.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head, "Actually, it's nothing. I've always felt that the relationship between players and the head coach is not only a kind of cooperation, but also a kind of coexistence. You can't just pay attention to the relationship of interests, but you can't Blindly relying on emotion, the head coach should not get too involved with the players, but also shouldn't be too divorced, there needs to be a balance!"

After Guardiola heard it, he was very enlightened and experienced. He just got involved too deeply and was good friends with many players, which made it impossible for him to promote many tasks in the club.

The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is human feelings!

And once you are entangled in this kind of thing, it is difficult to get rid of it, so Guardiola decided not to renew his contract, leaving Barcelona and these human whirlpools, so that he can relieve the pressure and go into battle lightly.

Sometimes Ye Qiu was thinking about another problem. The whole world scolded Moratti, saying he was acting on his own emotions, but in reality, it was the people who suffered the most. Just like Moratti, he knew very well What the team should do is the right choice, it is right, but he has a character of abusing good people and does not want to offend others, which has led to the current situation of Inter Milan.

No wonder some people say that Moratti is the best boss in the world, but the worst operator.

"No matter what, Pepe, I will definitely win this match!" Ye Qiu said confidently.

Pepe, this is a good friend's nickname for Guardiola.

"Me too!" Guardiola also replied very stiffly, but there was no vitality and passion on his face. There was only a kind of exhaustion and a kind of helplessness. The vigor of the first season was gone.

As Ferguson once said, the first season of coaching top giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid is undoubtedly very, very difficult, but every season after that, the difficulty continues to rise, getting more and more difficult, more and more difficult. The harder it gets, the stress will eat you up in the end.

Therefore, teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid will never produce Ferguson, never possible!
Because in such a team, the head coach is always just a supporting role, and the team and the chairman are the protagonists.

"Friends in the audience, welcome to the first leg of the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2011-2012 season. We are now broadcasting live for you at the White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham Hotspur, London."

Tottenham Hotspur ranks first in Europe in terms of goals scored, Barcelona third, and another giant team from La Liga, Real Madrid.

"This game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both sides have also come out."

"At home, Tottenham Hotspur still played Ye Qiu's best 433-[-]-[-] tactics.

"The midfield is an iron triangle combination of Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal. We have all noticed that this season Tottenham Hotspur's midfield has worked very well and performed very well. The trident can be described as star-studded, Ribery, Cavani and Messi."

"Tottenham Hotspur played their best in this game, and many comments before the game said that Tottenham Hotspur will try to defeat their opponents in one fell swoop at home, and in addition to paying attention to the top superstar May In addition to West and Ribery, I personally think that Cavani is also a player who needs Barcelona to be careful."

"Cavani is a player who is not only tall, but also has the strength to confront. He is also good at his feet. More importantly, he can not only score by himself, but also very good at disrupting the opponent's defense. This can make Tottenham hot. Spurs played well behind Messi, Ribery, Vidal and Ramsey and other players, so the tactical value is very great!"

"Barcelona is also fully staffed, the goalkeeper is Valdez, the defense is Adriano, Mascherano, Pique and Puyol, and the three midfielders are Iniesta, Busque. Ci and Xavi, the front trident is Sanchez, Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas!"

"It is worth noting that Mascherano, Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas are all players from Tottenham Hotspur in Barcelona's starting lineup for this game. They are all very familiar with this team. Before the game, Cruyff said that if Barcelona make good use of this, it will not be difficult to win away games."

"But when Ye Qiu refuted Cruyff, he said that these players are familiar with the previous Tottenham Hotspur, but this season's Tottenham Hotspur is very different from before, so he not only He is not worried about being spotted by the opponent at all, on the contrary, he feels that his familiarity with these players can help Tottenham Hotspur beat the opponent."

"The war of words between the two sides before the game was very loud. Fans all over the world are paying attention to this focus game, and we all know that this game will definitely not disappoint the fans who are waiting for it!"

Following the analysis of the on-site commentator, the players of the two teams, led by the referee, slowly walked out of the player tunnel. When guessing the side, Barcelona won the right to serve, and Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie stood in the middle circle.

"Cesc Fabregas used to play in the midfield at Tottenham Hotspur, but after he came to Barcelona, ​​he was promoted by Guardiola to the frontcourt as the team's main attacker, and his performance was still the same. very nice."

"The referee is checking the time with the fourth official on the sidelines. The game is about to start!"

With the whistle of the referee, this much-anticipated focus battle finally started.

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona knocked the ball back, and the players in the frontcourt quickly jumped in. Xavi made a diagonal pass in the midfield, trying to find Sanchez, but Marcelo insisted Blocked Sanchez with his body and let the ball go out of the baseline.

"Tottenham were very solid, Marcelo was very experienced defensively, he helped Tottenham get back the ball in ten seconds, Barcelona started a bit edgy, we all know that, Both teams put a lot of emphasis on possession and it was given to Tottenham in less than [-] seconds, so it looked like Barcelona got off to a bit of a rush."

Tottenham's throw-in was quick and Marcelo lobbed it to Ribery, who came back from the front, who hooked it with his foot and hooked it to Ramsey, and the Welshman didn't stop the ball. Pushed directly, and Pirlo, who received the ball behind him, made another push and sent it to the right to Alves.

"Tottenham Hotspur passed the ball very quickly, and the ball came to the right. Soon, it directly broke through Barcelona's dense defense and oppression. This is also a highlight of the game. Watch Tottenham Hotspur Can he use his off-the-ball running and skillful one-foot passing to tear open Barcelona's loopholes, as many people have said."

But when Alves got the ball on the right, Barcelona were obviously pressing very high. Alves tried to pass to Messi, but the Argentine knocked Vidal back, and the latter knocked back to Tie behind him. Thiago Silva, Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas were all harassing the defence, and Thiago Silva had to knock back to goalkeeper Petr Cech.

"Barcelona was pressing very hard and it looked like Guardiola was going to use his best high defense and high-intensity pressing to contain Tottenham Hotspur."

Kompany saw that Thiago Silva was disturbed and immediately distanced himself from his teammates. Just after the two central defenders distanced themselves, Pirlo ran back from the midfield and took the initiative to receive Cech's pass. ball.

As soon as Pirlo took the ball, he turned around immediately. He almost didn't even need to look at it. At the moment of turning around, his hands were slightly opened, and he swung his right foot directly to make a diagonal pass.

The ball crossed a beautiful arc from the front of the penalty area, and landed on the right side of the 30-meter zone in Barcelona. Messi was rushing forward without knowing when, while Adriano He was fighting close to Messi, but the Argentine raised his left foot early and lightly picked the ball.

This pick made the ball pick past Adriano, the Brazilian left back chased too hard and rushed over the head, while Messi gently borrowed his hands from Adriano's back after the pick. Force, face the middle, head the ball a little bit to meet the falling ball, and then go forward to catch up.

The whole process was done in one go, which directly caused a big hole in Barcelona's defense.

At this moment, Cavani rushed towards Barcelona's penalty area quickly. After Messi stopped the ball, he directly passed it to the right corner of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Cavani dribbled the ball into the penalty area Sprinting, but Mascherano entangled Cavani tightly, and the Uruguayan saw that he had no chance, so he knocked the ball behind him with his heel.

This wonderful pass just passed to Messi's feet, and the audience was in an uproar. Everyone thought that Cavani had opened his eyes behind him, because after Messi received the ball, there was no defensive player around him, and there was only one player in front of him. Pique behind Celano to help defend.

"Come on, come on, it's time to score!" The on-site commentator also cooperated with the situation and cheered loudly!
