Chapter 139 Semi-Final Opponent--Barassa
When the second leg of the two quarter-finals on April 9 ended, the quarter-finals of this season were also produced. Barcelona beat Lyon at home, and Juventus slightly beat Valencia. The two teams advanced together to form the top four of the Champions League this season with Gosau and Bayern Munich.
After the top four list was created, everyone took a deep breath. This list is too luxurious. Gosho and Juventus were the final opponents of the Champions League last season, and Barcelona was the best team in Europe in the previous seasons. Of course, there is no need to say that Bayern Munich. They are two seasons ago. The Champions League is also one of the best teams in recent seasons.
In this season's UEFA Champions League, all the dark horses have been strangled ahead of schedule, and none of them can hold to the top eight, so the average strength of the top four list this season is the strongest and the most balanced. In recent years, the tradition of a dark horse team in the top four of the UEFA Champions League has also been broken.
Fans are looking forward to the semi-finals. I believe that this season's semi-finals are the best two matches. In contrast, most neutral fans don't care much about the result of the draw, because no matter which two teams draw a group, it will be a wonderful match between Mars and Earth.
The semi-final draw will be held in Nyon, Switzerland, this Friday, the evening of April 11. Lin Fenglei is not particularly looking forward to which opponent to win. Anyway, these teams are not easy to play. No matter which team is drawn, Gosho must do its best to defeat them. Of course, if possible, he would prefer to draw Bayern Munich, because only this opponent has not won by Gosau.
So far, the only game between Gosau and Bayern Munich was in the European Super Cup two years ago, when Gosau lost to Bayern Munich.
Lin Fenglei hopes to get a chance to take revenge and personally eliminate them out.
However, Lin Fenglei's wish was not achieved this time. In the draw ceremony on April 11, Gosho's opponent was born. They are Barcelona, and Bayern Munich will play Juventus to determine another final place.
Lin Fenglei can only hope that Bayern Munich can reach the final, so that the Gosau team can get a chance to revenge.
On April 23, Gosau will challenge Barcelona away at the Camp Nou Stadium for the first round of the semi-finals; on April 29, the two teams will move to the Wind and Thunder Stadium for the second game of the semi-finals.
This season, Gosho's team is a tough battle in every round of the Champions League, and their luck is not very good, but they are lucky in the arrangement of home and away games. Each round is first and then away, which is also a small advantage.
There are a lot of feud between Gosho and Barcelona. First of all, there are many open and secret struggles between Messi and Egman, the top scorers of the two teams. They are also often compared by the media and fans. Now it seems that Egman is more popular. It can be regarded as a leading position in the competition between the two. This The arrogant Messi is very unhappy.
Secondly, the strong rise of Gosau is regarded by many people as a sign of Barcelona's decline, because Barcelona's scenery in the past few seasons is infinite, and it is known as the Barcelona dynasty. Now the Gosau team also has a tendency to establish a dynasty. Of course, the birth of a new dynasty means the decline of the old dynasty.
In fact, in the past few years of the rise of the Gosau team, Barcelona has indeed not won another important championship in European competitions.
The two teams have only played against each other twice in the official competition, that is, in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League last season. As a result, the two teams won 2-1 at their own home games, which can be said to be an equal score. Of course, in the final group ranking, the fact that Gosho team is one point ahead of Barcelona and ranks first in the group, which must also make Barcelona very uncomfortable.
There are so many feuds between the two teams. I believe that this round of semi-final match will definitely be splashed and wonderful.
After the lottery results came out, the media in Catalonia immediately began to advocate that the duel was right. These two games will be Barcelona's revenge and name battle. Barcelona will give the Gosho team a hard time and let everyone know who is the real king.
Of course, the Swiss media should strongly support Gosau and ridiculed the Catalan media. They said that Barcelona is not the best team in these two seasons. The team's main lineup is seriously aging, and it is not the opponent of the Gosau team at all. Even their position in La Liga has been strongly challenged by Real Madrid. This is already a harbinger of the decline of the Barcelona dynasty.
The media in other countries are not willing to be lonely, and they have compared the two teams. Most media believe that in terms of attack power, the two teams are basically comparable, and even the Gosho team's offensive ability is stronger, because they have an Egman. In terms of defense, Barcelona is still not as good as Gosho's team, especially in terms of air defense capabilities. They are not the top. In addition, they do not have one that can A reassuring goalkeeper.
Of course, in the actual game, there can't be such a simple comparison. Many factors will affect the progress of a game, but it can still be said that the probability of Gosho's victory will be a little higher.
There are also many media listing the opponents of Barcelona and Gosho on their way to the top four. Barcelona's opponents in the group stage are Lyon, France, Denmark, Copenhagen, Russia, Russia's Ruby, their first round of knockout opponents are Turkey's Galatasaray, and the top eight opponents are France's France's opponents.
The opponents of Gosho's group stage are Manchester City, England, Paris Saint-Germain, France, and Central Army in Sofia, Bulgaria. The opponents in the first round of the knockout round are Real Madrid, and the opponents in the quarterfinals are Manchester United.
Judging from this comparison, Barcelona did not encounter a real strong team in the Champions League this season. They passed each level quite easily, and they did not encounter a real test; and the Gosho team had a big boss at every level, and their way to promotion was thrilling step by step, but he They withstood the test and undisputedly reached the top four.
Therefore, it can be said that the top four quota of the Gosho team is more valuable than that of Barcelona, and their ability to fight hard battles is more trustworthy.
The media's talk battle is in full swing, but Lin Fenglei is not involved in the talk battle. He is now preparing for the game against Barcelona.
Although he is very confident in defeating his opponent, it is impossible to win out of thin air. Without careful preparation before the game, rash encountering a strong enemy will only make the players at a loss and eventually lead to the team's defeat.
From now on, Gosho's coaching staff will comprehensively collect information about Barcelona, including their recent game videos, which will be used as a reference for the coaching staff to determine the tactics they use.
Of course, we have to prepare for the match against Barcelona, but we still have to play in the league.The Gosho team has won the championship eight rounds ahead of schedule, but it can't completely abandon the league. First, the league can also help the main players maintain the state of the game. Second, it can allow young players to start in turn to increase their game experience. Third, Lin Fenglei also hopes to set a record of unbeaten championships throughout the season.
At present, Gosho's team has 23 wins and five draws in the 28 rounds of the league, and has not yet lost. With the current strength and momentum of Gosho's team, they are likely to set an unbeaten record for the whole season.
The league is very long, and it is not easy to set an unbeaten record in a season. Over the years, only a few teams in Europe, such as AC Milan and Arsenal, have created this miracle. It is also a great honor to set this record. Of course, Lin Fenglei is not exempt from vulgarity.
In fact, in the last season, the Gosho team only lost one game to the young team in the whole season, but it was this game that the Gosho team missed the opportunity to set a record.
Now that he has played this season, Lin Fenglei will not let this honor slip away from his own hands like this, so he still has to take the remaining eight rounds of the league seriously.
