Chapter 343: From Benedikt to Chelsea, Transfer at Barcelona (I)
"Sky Sports, Sky Sports, you are now watching the first leg of the 2010-11 Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona at home."
"Yesterday's match between Chelsea and Schalke 04 has come to an end. Although Schalke was still very humble and cautious in the interview after the game, he denied the media's statement that 'Chelsea has one foot in Wembley'."
"But after a thrilling 3-0 win over Schalke 04 at the Veltins Arena, it was clear to all that Chelsea had a ticket to the Champions League final this season."
"In this game, Charles scored twice and provided an assist, once again dominating the game. Perhaps that's why Mourinho is obsessed with him."
“从数据分析上来看，双方的射门18比9、射正10比5、角球6比3、控球65%比35%。”
"In the quarter-finals against Manchester United, Chelsea's offense did struggle and they didn't open up a big gap."
"But in this game, Chelsea once again showed their strength."
"Schalke 04's proud record of five consecutive home wins in the Champions League became so vulnerable in front of the Blues. Even if they took off the team logo before the game, it still did not bring them good luck."
"Now, the only question is who will go to Wembley with Chelsea, Real Madrid or Barcelona, who have reached the Champions League final twice?"
Charles turned up the volume on the television.
After yesterday's big win over Schalke, they returned to Chelsea.
Tonight is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona. After today's training, Charles has been looking forward to this moment.
"In the history of the Champions League, the two teams have met 6 times, with Real Madrid having a slight advantage with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss."
"At the Bernabéu, Real Madrid has remained unbeaten with 1 win and 2 draws."
"In terms of head coaches, Real Madrid head coach Mourinho is the Champions League coach, but Barcelona's Vilanova was only Guardiola's assistant before..."
"Real Madrid rotated 8 players. Di Maria returned from injury. Arbeloa, Ramos, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Pepe, Ronaldo and 272 also entered the starting lineup."
"Khedira, Carvalho and Gago are absent due to injury, while Dudek, Canales and Pedro Leon are not included in the squad due to technical reasons."
"Barcelona rotated 5 players. Puyol returned from injury. Pique, Xavi, Messi and Pedro also entered the starting lineup. Maxwell, Abidal, Adriano, Bojan and Iniesta were out due to injuries."
"Here are the lineups for both teams:"
“皇家马德里(4-3-3)：1-卡西利亚斯/17-阿贝罗阿、4-拉莫斯、18-阿尔比奥尔、12-马塞洛/14-哈维·阿隆索、3-佩佩、10-拉萨纳·迪亚拉/7-克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多、23-272、22-迪马利亚。”
“巴塞罗那(4-3-3)：1-巴尔德斯/2-阿尔维斯、14-马斯切拉诺、3-皮克、5-普约尔/6-哈维、16-布斯克茨、15-凯塔/12-比利亚、10-梅西、17-佩德罗。”
The game is about to begin.
Ciel also straightened his back.
He didn't know which team to support in this game.
Maybe we should support Real Madrid so that Barcelona can’t reach the Champions League final;
But he should support Barcelona more so that he can eliminate him in the Champions League final himself.
Barcelona, as always, took the initiative in the game.
Although the head coach has changed, Barcelona still maintains his most familiar style.
Vilanova stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, watching the game carefully.
Mourinho seemed to casually unscrew the bottle cap and drink water.
Not long after, Barcelona launched an attack on Real Madrid's goal, and Albiol stepped forward and cleared the ball with a header.
However, due to the interference of Barcelona players, the ball was not cleared far away, and Xavi grabbed the ball and then volleyed it from the top of the penalty area. Fortunately, Casillas was as reliable as always and held the ball firmly in his arms.
Casillas kicked the ball out, Di Maria made a cross from the left, and Ronaldo made a low shot with his left foot in front of the penalty area. Similarly, the ball was saved by Valdes.
After this counterattack, the white melody of the Bernabeu was drowned by the red and blue.
"Villa cut in from the right and passed Marcelo and Pepe... He shot with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area, but the ball almost hit the far post and flew out of the bottom line!"
"Messi cut in from the right and passed the ball. Xavi successfully made an offside move on the right side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot... Casillas saved the team once again."
"Messi made a cross pass from the middle, and Xavi shot with his right foot from the right side! The arc was not suppressed and the ball was kicked high."
After waiting for 34 minutes, the voice of Real Madrid was finally heard again in this game.
Alonso made a 45-degree free kick from the left, and Pepe's header from the right side of the penalty spot was saved by Valdes.
Just one minute later, Messi made a straight pass and Villa hit the defender with a low right-foot shot from the right side of the penalty area.
As the first half was coming to an end, the movements of both sides became more and more intense, and the smoke in the air became thicker and thicker.
After a series of physical confrontations including elbowing, diving, pulling, etc., the referee finally blew the whistle for halftime.
This time, the two sides started arguing before they even entered the player tunnel.
Outside the TV, Charles only saw Arbeloa and Keita start arguing, then push each other, and then more and more players from both sides joined the scene.
Charles had no idea what they were arguing about.
He looked at Benzema with some worry as he disappeared from the TV screen.
He seemed to remember that Benzema said he hid something in the player tunnel last season.
After dozens of minutes, the conflict between the two sides was finally forcibly settled.
After the half-time break, Mourinho replaced 272 with Adebayor, but the rhythm of the game was still in the hands of Barcelona.
In the 60th minute, Real Madrid had one player sent off and Mourinho was also sent off with a red card for protesting.
The game will end in more than ten minutes.
Real Madrid failed to break through for a long time, so Barcelona made another effort.
Finally, in the 76th minute, Xavi passed the ball to the side in the middle, Afellay dribbled past Marcelo and then crossed the ball to the middle on the right side of the penalty area, and Messi scored with a left-foot shot in front of the small penalty area.
"1-0, Barcelona is leading away from home!"
In the 86th minute, Messi broke through the middle and passed Alonso, Lassana Diarra, Ramos, Albiol and Marcelo, and then shot into the goal with his right foot from the right side of the penalty area.
"2-0, Barcelona secures victory!"
Real Madrid continued to persist, but to no avail.
Vilanova used substitutions to kill off the remaining time, and in the end, Barcelona won the game 2:0.
Ciel turned off the TV.
He knows his opponent in the Champions League final.
4 month 30 day.
Chelsea face Tottenham at home.
This is the first time we have faced Tottenham this season.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Chelsea finally won 2:1 thanks to a gift from the Tottenham goalkeeper and Neymar's winning goal despite being behind at the beginning.
5 month 4 day.
Stamford Bridge Stadium.
The battle for the Champions League semi-final has reignited.
最终，切尔西主场4:1大胜沙尔克04，总比分7:1成功挺进欧冠决赛。
The next day, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona also came to an end.
Real Madrid failed to complete the comeback, and Chelsea and Barcelona finally met at Wembley.
After the game, Charles returned to the locker room.
I picked up the red pen and calendar on the table and circled May 5th.
5 month 21 day.
In the 38th round of La Liga, Barcelona will face Malaga away.
In the 31st minute, Maresca knocked the ball back from the left baseline, Bartra cleared the ball and missed, Fernandez stopped the ball and shot with his right foot from 10 yards out, and Malaga led 1:0.
In the 42nd minute, Bojan fell to the ground in the penalty area due to interference from Eliseu, and the referee awarded a penalty.
In the end, Bojan took the penalty kick himself and shot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal, tying the two sides 1:1.
In the 75th minute, Afellay received a pass from Roberto on the left side of the frontcourt, dribbled past one player sideways, and then shot low with his right foot into the lower right corner of the goal.
2:1, Barcelona completed the reversal away from home. In the 84th minute, Barcelona took a corner kick, Alves kicked the ball to the front point, Bartra jumped high and headed the ball into the dead corner.
In the end, Barcelona won 3:1, accumulated 96 points, and won the La Liga championship again, completing the feat of three consecutive championships.
After the game, all Barcelona players rushed into the field and began to celebrate the hard-earned victory.
Some people laughed, some people cried.
Amid the sky full of fireworks, joy is expressed in two completely different ways.
After the wild celebrations, Busquets sat on the pitch in tears.
The call was answered quickly.
"Sergio? Why are you calling me?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that we are the La Liga champions again."
"Congratulations, I am also the Premier League champion. We have already won the championship in advance. You can come and watch the last round of the game tomorrow."
Ciel said with a smile.
Busquets said seriously, "I will win the Champions League."
"Really? I don't believe it. See you at Wembley."
5 month 22 day.
The final battle of the Premier League has officially begun.
Chelsea play away to Everton.
In the 22nd minute, Chelsea cooperated continuously in front of the penalty area. Lampard passed the ball directly to Charles in the middle, and then Charles made a low shot at a small angle in the penalty area. Finally, the ball hit the goalkeeper's calf and bounced into the goal.
Chelsea 1:0 Everton.
In the 74th minute, Everton's corner kick tactic failed.
Charles started a counterattack with the ball from the penalty area. After passing the center circle, he faced the defense of four Everton players. Charles dribbled past them, but Jagielka made a mistake in intercepting the ball and the ball hit Charles' feet.
Then Charr broke free from the double-team of four Everton players, ran nearly 4 meters and lobbed the ball into the net facing Howard in the penalty area.
Chelsea 2:0 Everton.
In the end, Chelsea won the Premier League title with 104 points.
……
As Vilanova looked at the date getting closer, a sense of nervousness arose.
The Champions League match is about to begin and the entire Barcelona team has set off for Wembley.
The hotel booked by Barcelona is as luxurious as ever.
But for some reason, Vilanova also suffered from insomnia.
He thought back to 2009, when he and Guardiola were at Roma catching spies.
He recalled the time in 2010 when they had to deal with the troublesome real and fake insider incident in Madrid.
He remembered a lot.
Finally, Vilanova got out of bed, picked up his phone and walked to the meeting room.
The call was quickly answered.
"Hey - Pep, how are you doing?"
Guardiola on the other end of the phone also didn't sleep.
"I'm fine, what's wrong, Tito?"
"It's like this, can you come and help me look at my tactics? I have never played against Ancelotti, and I don't know how to deal with him for a while."
Guardiola was silent on the other end of the phone.
Vilanova gently opened the window of the conference room.
The soft night breeze gently fluttered the white gauze curtains.
There is not a single star in the night sky today.
"Okay, Tito, you're there, I'll come find you."
Guardiola looked at the scenery outside the window and shook his head.
He also wanted to know if he could deal with the monster he had cultivated.
……
The Champions League has not started yet, but major media have begun reporting and predicting this game.
"Marca" and "AS" continue to stand on Barcelona's perspective.
AS: "19 years later, back to Wembley, Barcelona will win the Champions League once again."
"In 1992, Barcelona won the last Champions League final held at the old Wembley Stadium; in 2011, Barcelona will also win the first Champions League final held at the rebuilt new Wembley Stadium."
"At the Camp Nou, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 1-1 and made it to the Champions League final as they wished."
"From Wembley to Wembley, Barcelona has spent 19 years of success. After winning the Champions League for two consecutive years, the glory of the Cosmos team is like the sun that never sets."
《加泰罗尼亚日报》：“欧冠半决赛全面结束，切尔西以总比分7：1淘汰沙尔克04，将与巴萨在5月28日的温布利争夺本赛季欧冠联赛的冠军。”
"Due to the ash from the Icelandic volcano, Barcelona flew to London two days in advance to prepare for the Champions League final against Manchester United this Saturday."
"Barcelona will be stationed in Arsenal's Colney base for closed training in the next two days. The day before the final, Barcelona will move to another hotel in the city center near Wembley Stadium and do adaptive training at the final venue."
"After Barcelona enters the Kearney training base, the Gunners' core Fabregas will provide more intelligence to Vilanova and Vilanova's special adviser Guardiola."
"It is reported that Fabregas has submitted Chelsea's technical report to Barcelona. According to Fabregas' analysis, Chelsea will line up in a 4-3-3 formation."
"Insight into Offside": "Although the Champions League final has not yet been staged, UEFA has already announced the best 11 players in this season's Champions League."
"Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar, Manchester United."
"After the end of this season, the 40-year-old Dutch goalkeeper chose to retire..."
"Right back: Srna, Shakhtar Donetsk."
"Contributed 9 assists in 5 games..."
"Centre-back: Pique, Barcelona."
"In the Champions League knockout rounds against Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid, he was able to direct Mascherano and Busquets in front of him to set up a tight defense and was one of the contributors to the team's advancement to the final."
"Centre-back: Vidic, Manchester United."
"In the eight Champions League games that Vidic played for Manchester United, the Red Devils kept four clean sheets..."
"...Midfield: Iniesta, Barcelona."
"Although Iniesta has only scored one goal in this season's Champions League, his strong control of the midfield and his strategic planning in the first leg of the quarter-final against Shakhtar Donetsk made Barcelona's promotion look extremely easy. Of course, Iniesta's 1 assists are also eye-catching."
"Midfield: Bale, Tottenham."
"From the entire group stage, the top star is undoubtedly Bale. In the away game against Inter Milan, the magical Bale scored three goals in the second half, and his hat trick almost helped Tottenham to stage a stunning comeback at the Meazza. Two weeks later, when moving to White Hart Lane, Bale, who has excellent speed and assist ability, continued to embarrass Maicon, the 'first right back in football'."
"Forward: Messi, Barcelona."
"So far, Messi has scored 12 goals in 11 Champions League games this season."
"Forward: Charles, Chelsea."
"The jersey has changed from Barcelona's red and blue to Chelsea's blue, but Charles is still the same Charles, and has even gone one step further. Currently, Charles has scored 18 goals in the Champions League, and the total number of goals this season has reached 58, which is a pretty amazing number."
"No words can describe the greatness of this Chelsea phenomenon except for worship.
It's almost over.
There should be a content about Tianzu at the end.
