Chapter 126 The Unexpected Slomka

After lunch, take a break in the afternoon, yes, that’s right. Slomka hopes that everyone can get enough energy to deal with this game. He didn’t arrange anything. He arranged dinner at 5 o’clock in the evening. The content of the dinner was relatively simple. The main thing is to replenish energy for the players before the game. It is impossible to go to the game hungry.

After dinner, everyone rested for an hour, and then set off for the Nou Camp at 7 o'clock. The hotel is not far from the Nou Camp, and we arrived at the Nou Camp Stadium around [-]:[-].

The Nou Camp Stadium is the largest stadium in Europe, which can accommodate nearly 10 spectators. It is second only to Brazil's Maracana Stadium in the world. This stadium can accommodate 20 spectators, which is jaw-dropping.

Barcelona is a very special club. Its first chairman was Swiss. When it was established in 1899, there were many foreigners in the team. Then in the second year, another club was born in Barcelona, ​​which is the Espanyol Football Club. , Espanyol is the first football club in Spain formed by Spanish fans.The original intention of the club was to build a club composed of Spanish local players, the purpose of which was to fight against Barcelona Football Club, which was almost entirely composed of foreign players.

However, the later tragedy was that Barcelona, ​​​​of foreign origin, became the pride of the Catalans, while the Spaniards became the object of disgust for most Catalans, because the Spanish club later accepted the Spanish royal family. This made everyone in Catalonia very dissatisfied. The Catalans have a strong sense of independence and have always wanted to separate from Spain. Of course, the Spaniards made their lives in Barcelona Very difficult.

Therefore, the Barcelona football team is the sustenance of their football spirit for the Catalans. It is very popular. The Nou Camp stadium not only has a large capacity, but also has a high attendance rate.

But this time the Schalke 04 bus arrived at the stadium, but it was not warmly welcomed by the local fans. The reason is very simple. Schalke 04 is really nothing in the eyes of Barcelona fans. Barcelona must win at their home court. It's settled, this is the real thought of Barcelona fans.

I really didn't expect to receive this kind of courtesy. When Barcelona went to Schalke, it was protested by the local Schalke 04 fans. Zhang Yuan didn't expect that the Barcelona fans here are not so excited. This is very good. To be honest, every time I go The away game is always unavoidable from the warm greetings from the opponent's fans. It's good to be quiet like this.

Zhang Yuan said to Neuer next to him: "The quality of Barcelona fans is quite high!"

"Tall fart, people don't take us seriously!" Neuer said coldly after reading the reports from the local media in Barcelona.

"Ah!" Zhang Yuan shut his mouth, it's really annoying, this kind of courtesy is an insult to Schalke 04!

Zhang Yuan vowed to look good to the fans at the stadium!Humans are so strange. When people scold you, they don't think it's the biggest insult, but ignoring you is the biggest insult.In fact, the Barcelona fans did not mean to insult Schalke 04, but everyone felt that this game was too ordinary, and Barcelona's promotion was too no suspense, so there was no need to put pressure on the Schalke 04 players off the court, let's talk about it It's your fault if you don't boo.

Enter the locker room of the visiting team, everyone changed their clothes and went out to warm up. The game did not start until 8:45 p.m., so there was plenty of time for everyone to warm up. The Barcelona players hadn’t arrived yet, and the Schalke 04 players were in Warm up on half the court.

Zhang Yuan started to accelerate the sprint, well, it feels pretty good, although he hasn't trained normally for more than a month, it seems that his speed hasn't slowed down yet.Running on the field with the ball is still as flexible as before, and there is nothing uncomfortable.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan stopped, Rakitic passed a long pass directly to Zhang Yuan's back. Zhang Yuan grinned in pain and was completely defenseless. Although Rakitic did not use too much force, he suddenly hit Zhang Yuan's back still hurts.

Which one is good enough, passing the ball like this hurts me to death!
Zhang Yuan looked back with a bitter face, and it turned out to be Rakitic!
Looking at Zhang Yuan's painful expression, Rakitic asked in amazement, "Does it hurt?"

"Fuck, try it!" Zhang Yuan still gritted his teeth and said.

"Haha, sorry!" Rakitic's laughter proved that his apology was not sincere at all.

"How do you feel?" Rakitic asked Zhang Yuan.

"Not bad!" Zhang Yuan knew that he was asking about his feeling about the game. After all, Zhang Yuan only came back with the team for two days, and he trained alone the day before. He came to Barcelona to train with the team today.

"That's good, I'll wait for you to perform well!" Rakitic said with a smile.

"No problem, please eat if I score!" Zhang Yuan placed his bet.

"Wow, last time I ate your meal, I didn't expect you to remember it! Well, if you score, I will treat you to dinner, if not?" Rakitic asked back.

"It's a big deal, I'll treat you to another meal! But the chance of this is very small!" Zhang Yuan said solemnly.

"Let's wait and see, look at you!" Rakitic said with a smile and thumbs up.

Not long after the Schalke 04 players warmed up, the Barcelona players changed their clothes and began to warm up on the other half of the court after arriving. Zhang Yuan saw Henry, Eto'o, Puyol, Zambrotta, Tu Lahm and other stars, these players are all superstars, Schalke 04 can't produce a player of the same level as the opponent, hey, just by looking at the cards, the gap between the two sides is really huge.

Now Zhang Yuan is not as excited as he was when he first came to Inter Milan to see the star. He is used to everything, so what about the star?In the last game, he was almost embarrassed by his own team, but this time Zhang Yuan is confident that his team can still embarrass Barcelona.

Imagine if Schalke 04 can play Barcelona very embarrassingly, how cool it would be. If I can score goals, it would be so beautiful to eliminate Barcelona. Thinking about these Zhang Yuan faces Unconsciously smiled.

After the warm-up was over and he returned to the locker room, Slomka drew a formation map on the tactical board. He was going to start the game against Barcelona. The last game gave him great confidence. He felt that Barcelona It is far less powerful than it appears on paper, and the three tricks in the game will be cut first.

How to cut these three axes is knowledgeable. Barcelona likes to control the ball. Well, let Barcelona control the ball at the beginning. Schalke 04's attack method is to intercept the midfielder, and then make a long pass to Kuranyi. Lan Yi grabs the first point, Zhang Yuan and Asamoah grab the second point. This is a very simple tactic of holding high and playing high. The midfielder will not invest too much force in the frontcourt but focus on interception. It not only ensures the defensive level formed by the midfield and back line, but also can immediately launch a counterattack.

These three tricks are Slomka’s opening tactic. At the beginning, all three forwards have to withdraw to attract the opponent’s back line to press up. If it works, Slomka will let the three forwards go out to press high and suppress the opponent. The back line weakens the assists of the two full-backs and minimizes the strength of Barcelona's investment in the frontcourt. If it doesn't work, he still adopts high-position pressing tactics. He doesn't believe that the opponent will not make mistakes.

In the announcement of the starting lineup, Slomka cheated again. It was not Zhang Yuan who reported to UEFA, but Kobia Schwilli. As a result, Zhang Yuan stood in the starting position in the player channel.

Knowing this, Rijkaard is of course still a little upset, but this matter is nothing. He has formulated a tactic for Zhang Yuan to come off the bench. Now that the starting lineup is a big deal, just change the tactic.

"Hello, viewers, this is the sports station! Welcome to the live broadcast of the UEFA Champions League in the 07-08 season. I am the commentator He Wei. Today we are broadcasting the second round of the 1/4 match for you. Schalke 04 challenged Barcelona away. In the first round, Barcelona won Schalke 1 0-04 away. The advantage of an away goal gave Barcelona the upper hand, but from the recent Barcelona Judging from Rona's state, their current state is not particularly good. In the first round of the game, Schalke 04 took the initiative on the field, but they were unlucky and failed to score. The weakness of the front is what troubled Schalke. 04 The main factor for continuing to advance in the European arena. The good news before the game is that the Chinese player Zhang Yuan returned in time before the game and was also included in the 18-man roster, but he was not a starter on the starting list we got. , It is still a question whether we can play today. The commentator we invited today is still Director Tao Weitao! Director Tao, what do you think of this game?" Of course, the sports station chose to broadcast the game live.

"Hello, audience friends! Personally, I am still optimistic about Barcelona in this game. The overall strength will give Barcelona an advantage. At the same time, they are home. The problem reflected in Schalke 04's last game is that Forwards are lacking in the ability to grasp opportunities. Even if Zhang Yuan comes back, he is not a pure shooter, and his ability to capture opportunities needs to be further improved! The significance of his comeback is to enrich the offensive style of the frontcourt, Schall Ke 04 can think more about ground attack, and Zhang Yuan's breakthrough in the frontcourt will still cause a lot of trouble for Barcelona!" Tao Wei expressed his opinion.

His opinion is also the voice of the majority of fans. No matter how much Zhang Yuan is promoted in China, Zhang Yuan is not as omnipotent as everyone advocates, and Barcelona's strength lies there. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There is nothing in the football world. Impossible, but for a strong team like Barcelona, ​​the chance of being upset is very small.
