Chapter 45: The Final Played Too Early

Messi issued a declaration of victory. In the eyes of many people, the contest between these two teams can basically be regarded as the final staged in advance. A Serie A king, a La Liga overlord, the collision of the two teams is bound to be Dazzling sparks burst out.

"Barcelona is very strong, but unfortunately, they lack a leader, a team without a leader, I don't think it will pose any threat to Fiorentina!"

This is what Degan said when he was interviewed by the Spanish media after arriving in Barcelona with the team. You can tell from Degan's tone that this guy obviously doesn't take Messi seriously.

"Rod! I bet, those guys will definitely be pissed off by you!" Pacini's words after boarding the bus made all his teammates burst into laughter.

"Then I'm really sorry!" Digan laughed, "David! What do you think of that Messi!?"

Beckham thought for a while and said: "I don't know him well. In fact, when I played for Real Madrid, I only had the experience of playing against him once, but he came off the bench at that time, and after three minutes of playing , the game is over!"

Obviously, at that time, Messi was just an insignificant supporting role in the decisive battle of the century. At that time, the protagonists were Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and Eto'o.

"Last season, we met Barcelona. At that time, Messi was used by Rijkaard as a secret weapon, but unfortunately, we were the ones who won that time!" Digan said, Then said, "This time, I hope it turns out the same!"

This damn schedule, if UEFA is not playing tricks, no one will believe it. Just look at the schedule and you will know that if everything really goes according to UEFA's design, next, Fiorentina is very likely to be in the semi-finals. I met Chelsea in the final, and what about my opponent in the final?

Most likely Manchester United!

In order to give Florence's enemies a chance to avenge, and to rectify Florence, Platini took great pains.

Let's talk about the future, the most important thing for Degan and his teammates right now is to get rid of Barcelona, because Degan from the previous life is very clear that the official Barcelona dream team is this season, reluctantly parting with the love and selling Ronald Dinho established Messi's leadership, and then the Dream Team 3 was out of control.

Degan didn't want to give Dream Team Three a chance, so he had to nip everything in the bud before the so-called strongest team in history started sprinting at full speed.

I don't care about you dominating the Spanish league, but in the European arena, it's too early for you young shoots to seize power.

The match between the two sides will be held the next day. As a warm-up activity before the start of the match, the verbal battle at the pre-match press conference is naturally indispensable.

The last time he debated with Prandelli at the press conference was Rijkaard. Under the leadership of this low-key man, Barcelona's original gang formation has changed a lot. There are almost no thorns in the team, but on the football field, he has not shown much. Diola can be regarded as the tree planted by the predecessors and the shade of the descendants.

For his team, Guardiola seemed very confident: "This is Camp Nou, our home stadium. My players are very clear about what they should do and their responsibilities. We all have an obligation to defend Camp Nou." Pu's dignity, I have no doubt that tomorrow's game, we will win a victory!"

In this regard, Prandelli's response was: "Last season, we defeated Barcelona. Now, I hope that what happened at the beginning can be repeated again, and we can defeat our opponents. After the two rounds of the game, we will continue to move forward!"

The two coaches issued declarations of victory respectively, but there is always only one winner on the football field.

The next day, in the Camp Nou player channel!

Digan saw Puyol standing next to him again. This time the two did not provoke each other, but shook hands very friendly in the passage.

Degan also has to admit that the Barcelona team in front of him is really dazzling enough, with Valdés at the goalkeeper position, although the state of this gentleman often has ups and downs, and he will concede the ball inexplicably, when he is in good form, Valdes is the number one in the world Goalkeeper, but when he is in poor form, he often puts on some dumbfounding performances on the court.

However, in general, Valdes is a goalkeeper with quick response and excellent strength. Although he is young, he can calmly command and arrange the defense line, which is very similar to his idol, German goalkeeper Kahn .

On the defensive line, captain Puyol, starting from right back, has gradually grown into a world-class central defender. Puyol has excellent physical condition and discipline. He is a role model for the rest of the team, never dragging his feet when disrupting an opponent's offense. He can also play left back when the coach needs him.

Although Puyol's height is only 178cm, his strong body makes him not at a disadvantage when fighting for the top, and he can mark forwards who are taller than him.

Puyol is considered to be the representative of the new generation of football heroes of the Catalans. Puyol, who has a messy head, is very talented, extremely fast, and he has become the backbone of Barcelona's defense with a timely replacement.

Puyol is known for his desperation on the court. In the derby of the century against Real Madrid last season, he persisted in the game despite a mild torn ligament. After the game, he had to rely on the help of others to get out. After taking off the jersey, it turned out that the shoulder had been mowed.

As an international-level full-back with strong assisting ability, Puyol demonstrated the unique charm of this ancient position in football history with his quick assault on the wing. The tenacious defensive style and the excellent psychological quality at critical moments have carved their own marks in the hearts of Catalan fans. What is especially rare is that Puyol, who has excellent ball skills, has a brave heart. His roar and Scrambling represents the spirit of Catalonia, and being called the "Lion King" is not just because of his hair and appearance.

Central defender Pique, in the summer of 2004, Manchester United poached Pique, who was only 17 years old, from La Masia. On October 26 of the same year, Pique made his career debut in the English League Cup. In Manchester United's first two seasons he participated in 10 official games. On August 4, 2006, Pique was loaned to La Liga Zaragoza. He played 26 times on behalf of Zaragoza this season, including four matches with Barcelona in the league and the King's Cup.

In May 2008, Pique officially returned to Barcelona from Manchester United and reunited with his former teammates. After returning to Barcelona, Pique quickly became the pinnacle of Barcelona's defense. Although he was easily swayed by emotions during the game, his frontal defensive ability and air defense ability are absolutely inseparable from Guardiola.

Central defender Yaya Toure, Toure has a very strong body and can defend a large area. He plays the role of escort behind Harvey and Iniesta. Although he is tall, Toure has a good body Skills and a good view of the overall situation are like fish in water in Barcelona's short pass system, and even staged a good show of several people clicking through the savior many times in a row.

Left back Sylvinho, some people are destined not to become red flowers, but they can become the greenest green leaf. Sylvinho is such a person. He is the most inconspicuous one in today's dream team , but definitely an indispensable one.

Midfielder Harvey, Harvey has experienced four coaches in Barcelona, Van Gaal, Rexach, Rijkaard, and Guardiola, but no matter who he is under, Harvey is the leader of the team without exception. The absolute tactical core, known as the "Lungs of Barcelona".

Since entering the first team, Harvey has always been the core of the team's organization. He has always maintained a clear mind and commanded well, so that the team can always remain calm.

Harvey has a very wide vision on the field, excellent ball control and direct passing skills, which makes him often the focus on the field, and he also has good defensive ability. With fewer key goals, he can always send the most accurate assists and passes at critical moments to tear through the opponent's defense.

Maradona said that if he chooses a icing on the cake for his Argentina team, he will choose Spain's Harvey Hernandez. The reason is that Harvey is like a magician on the green field. People are impeccable.

Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas also said that although Messi's football is wonderful, it is Xavi who can play a decisive role in both the national team and the club.

On the field, Harvey also looks unknown, he is neither ostentatious nor crazy, but like a "strategist" puts all his energy and wisdom on observing the position and running of his teammates, thinking almost every moment The whole team's offensive and defensive routines, I am constantly interspersed with running, making the most reasonable judgment at the right time, sending the ball to the feet of teammates at the critical moment, even if I have the opportunity to raise my foot to shoot, I will still pass the ball more often Give the teammate in a better position to complete the critical blow.

Harvey has never scored gorgeous and memorable goals, and only engaged in passing work that others seem to be boring behind the scenes. This makes it difficult for Harvey to justify himself in the sports and football circles that are closely integrated with entertainment and business.

However, Harvey, known as the "European brain", no longer needs these fame, and his central role in the national team and club team is enough to prove that he is an uncrowned king not inferior to Messi.

For Barcelona, the role of Messi is indeed obvious, with sharp and dazzling breakthroughs, tricky shots, and light steps like lingering steps, but Barcelona's success is not only due to the sharpness of the striker, Xavi and Iniesta The near-perfect fantasy midfield drives the team to run smoothly until it reaches the top of Europe, which is the key.

Harvey's performance just proves that he is the soul of the Spanish team and the master of world football. As an organizational midfielder, Harvey shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading the team forward. No matter in good times or in adversity, whether it is an iron barrel formation or a fierce attack, Harvey uses his "threading the needle" in the midfield to Connect the whole team together, and always convey the belief of winning to teammates.

Perhaps, just like the works of many artists can only be accepted and appreciated by the world after their death, when Harvey retires, when people will no longer see the subtle through-pass like lightning and flint, when people will no longer see that stepping Harvey's underestimated role may only be recognized when a short player runs through the audience like a Tai Chi dance.

Midfielder Busquets is tall, with excellent skills at his feet and excellent sense of position. He not only showed strong aerial control and defensive skills, but also used several shots with a wide field of vision, giving people a taste of Barcelona's traditional four. style. As an intelligent midfielder, Busquets has a strong ability to read the game and can bring the team a stable possession of the ball. He almost never loses the ball easily, and his defense is also very tough. His ability is very comprehensive. , Good at plugging in to find scoring opportunities.

Midfielder Iniesta, Xiaobai is the natural bodyguard of every player in the Barcelona team. When any teammate needs help, he can always appear by his side at the first time. The reading ability is completely balanced and terrifying to the market. At the same time, Iniesta's attack from the back and the sideways rush are also very deterrent.

Forward Messi, needless to say to the Argentine, he is the new core of Barcelona after Ronaldinho.

Forward Eto'o has outstanding dribbling skills, fast speed and good explosive power. He is the youngest player in the 1998 World Cup in France. In 2000, he won the Africa Cup of Nations with the Cameroon team. In 2004, he moved to Barcelona at a price of 24 million euros, and Eto'o became the first Cameroon player in the Barcelona team. After joining Barcelona, Eto'o quickly exploded his superstar potential and became a super killer that frightened defenders all over Europe.

Forward Henry, once the king of Highbury, but after moving to Barcelona, Henry has been depressed. He originally hoped to get more honors in Barcelona, but after joining, he lost all four, and the number of goals dropped greatly. He scored fewer goals than when he was in the national team. The reason is that he once again retreated to the left winger and participated in the defense. He played completely differently from Arsenal. Barcelona has always adopted a 4-3-3 formation. After Henry joined, he was at a loss, and Barcelona was full of stars. Henry was no longer the key figure before, and his playing style was inevitably different.

This season, Barcelona decided to clean up the team. The team invited Pep Guardiola, the Barcelona youth coach who had no coaching experience in the top league, to lead the team. Under such circumstances, Henry was not given up. Under Guardiola's reuse, his performance has fully recovered. He has scored 15 goals and handed over 9 assists in the league so far.

Compared with Barcelona's star-studded, Florence is much worse.

The main lineup of Fiorentina in this game, the goalkeeper is still Frey, the defense line, from left to right is Criscito, Thiago Silva, Kompany and Maggio, Pasquale because of suspension, Criscito got the main position, the midfielder is still equipped with three midfielders, Fellaini, Modric and Beckham, the forward central defender is Hamsik, Montolivo missed the game due to injury, On the forward line is Degan's partner Mutu.

Star flavor, Fiorentina is obviously not as good as Barcelona, but football games are not just hoarding stars.
