Chapter 70 The First Round of the Semifinals

On April 17, Barcelona's head coach Martino led Barcelona to Gosau, Switzerland, to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals two days later. Martino came to this beautiful town for the first time, but at this time, he had no intention to enjoy the scenery here. His expression was serious. He refused the reporter's request for an interview, and all the Barcelona players were not interviewed. It seems that a silence has been issued inside Barcelona.

Subsequently, Barcelona's training was also closed. It seems that the Barcelona team is not as confident as what they said later, and they are very nervous.

In contrast to the Gosho team, their training before the game is open, and the players are very relaxed one by one. After all, they are obviously superior in Barcelona's historical record, and they have no psychological burden.

At 7:45 p.m. on April 19, the high-profile Champions League semi-final began as scheduled. CCTV made a live broadcast of the game. Duan Xuan was introducing the game to the audience in front of the TV: "Dear viewers, today we will broadcast this season's Champions League semi-final. In the first round, the two sides are the defending champion Swiss Gosau and La Liga giant Barcelona, and the home team is Gosho.

"This game is the fifth match between the two teams. In the first four matches, the Gosho team has the upper hand with three wins and one loss, and has a clear advantage of 9:5 in the number of goals. Of course, just four games do not explain too many problems, but the Gosho players will certainly have some psychological advantages. . "

The last time the two teams played against each other was in the Champions League semi-finals two years ago. At that time, the Gosho team beat Barcelona 2:1 away and 4:1 at home, reaching the final. Coincidentally, they met again in the Champions League semi-finals two years later. This time, did Gosho continue to expand its advantage in the history of the two teams, or did Barcelona succeed in revenge?

"The battle for the best scorer in the Champions League this season is also a very interesting topic. At present, the most goals scored by Gosau's top scorer Egman. He scored 14 goals, and the second was Barcelona's number one superstar Messi, who scored 11 goals. Although there is a three-goal gap between the two, such as If Barcelona can eliminate the Gosau team, Messi is likely to overtake Egman to the top.

"Now that the players from both sides have entered the court, and the game is about to begin. Let's introduce the lineup of both sides. First of all, the starting lineup of the home team Gosho, goalkeeper Ceccareli, left-back Ribero, right-back Gugelman, central defender Salihovic and Chevali, and midfielder Antuno. Veitch, left winger Avanzini, right winger Hollensten, front waist Lima, and the striker is a combination of Egman and Codingho. Ivanovic, the core midfield organization of the Gosho team, was suspended for one game because of three yellow cards, which is bad news for the Gosho team, and of course it is good news for Barcelona.

The starting lineup of the visiting team Barcelona is goalkeeper Valdes, left-back Alba, right-back Alves, central defender Mascherano and Pic. The three midfielders are Iniesta, Busquets and Fabregas, and the three in the frontcourt are Neymar, Messi and Sanchez. This lineup is also the strongest lineup that Barcelona can play now.

"With the whistle of the German on duty, Meyer, the game officially began. In the first half, the visiting team Barcelona kicked off first, and they attacked from right to left in the first half."

After Barcelona kicked off, after they fell several times in the midfield and backfield, Fabregas suddenly made a long pass to the front court. Neymar suddenly took a long shot 35 meters away from the goal and tried the foot style, but the ball was blocked by Antunović. Sanchez sent a pass after getting the ball on the side. In the middle, Messi grabbed the point in the middle, but his figure was too short for the central defender of Gosho. The ball was pushed out of danger by Salihovic without any suspense, and Barcelona's first attack ended hastily.

Gugelman passed a straight pass from the backcourt to Hollensten, and Hollensten passed to Lima. Lima made a long pass for the first time and passed the ball to the left side. After Avanzini plugged it in at high speed, he directly started to cross with his left foot. Egman jumped up in the middle and shook his head to attack the goal, but the place where he jumped up the ball was a little far from the goal, and Pike was beside him again. I tried my best to interfere. As a result, the quality of the top of the ball was not high, and it was directly obtained by Valdes.

After landing, Egman looked at Pike and walked away with an expressionless face, but Pike was gasping slightly. His heart was full of horror. Is Egman a monster? Why do you feel that he is stronger than the last time you meet him? Originally, Pike was in a very good state this season. He was very confident to defend Egman - of course, Pike has always been full of confidence in himself - but the fact is that Egman simply made a header just now. Pike felt that he had exhausted all his strength, but he still did not squeeze Egman and made him successfully reach this. A header, although Egman's header was still disturbed by Pike, Pike did not think it was the success of his defense.

Pike looked at Egman's back, clenched his fist, and secretly felt fierce in his heart. Today, I must guard against you.

Less than ten minutes after the opening of the two teams, they each had three-legged shots, and there were endless wonderful scenes. Such offensive scenes made the fans shout, but it made Barcelona's head coach Martino secretly shocked. This season, he led the Barcelona team to play all over the continent with fierce offensive football, which went smoothly. He has entered the top four of the Champions League. He is currently ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga, ranking first in La Liga. He has never met a team that can play against the current Barcelona team without falling behind. Even his old opponent Real Madrid can only use defensive counterattacks to deal with Barcelona, but he didn't expect The Gosho team can do this, which is worthy of being the defending champion.

Martino has watched a lot of videos of Gosho's team, but he can't see what style Gosho's team is. Gosho's team has achieved very well this season and often plays fierce offensives, but they also play a lot of defensive counterattacks. Martino admitted that Gosho's attack power was very strong, but he thought that he did not meet the Barcelona team he led. He thought that in front of the current Barcelona team, no team could fight against them, otherwise they would lose completely. But now Gosho broke his self-confidence, although it was only ten. Less than a minute is enough for Martino to see.

Of course, Martino will not retreat in such an offensive battle. In fact, even if he is willing to retreat, Barcelona will not fight back defensively, which is not their strength at all. Martino stood up, walked to the court, waved his hand, and signaled that the team's offensive was more fierce.

Barcelona strengthened the offensive. In the 13th minute, Messi took the ball horizontally after getting the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area. After shaking a shooting angle, he took out an arc ball with his left foot. Carelli tried his best to save, but failed to touch the ball. The ball hit the left post of the goal and bounced back to the penalty area and returned to defend. Gugelman's big foot in the penalty area kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Messi held his head in his hands and sighed up to the sky. This action showed his desire for the game. He was eager to score goals and defeat Gosho and Egman.

The fans of Goshao in the whole audience were shocked by Messi's shot, and Lin Fenglei was also a little nervous. He thought that Gosho's defense was top, but in the face of Messi's level of opponent, no matter how good the defense is, it is difficult to suppress his performance, so Messi is an X factor. Just now he almost relied on his personal ability. The force has changed the course of the game.

After Barcelona throw the sideline ball, Sanchez got the ball and was ready to break through, but Avanzini poked the ball behind him. Ribeiro received the ball, and he immediately passed it directly to Avazzini. Avanzini sent a long pass at the first time. Lima received the ball in the front court, and Busquets forced to Lima, Li After making a fake move, the horse broke through Busquets' defense with the ball. Busquets had no choice but to turn around and pull down Lima. The referee on duty, Meyer immediately blew a foul on Busquets and showed him a yellow card.

Gosho got a free kick from the left side of the front court. Ribeiro took the free kick forward. Because the ball was far away from the goal and was relatively biased, Ribeiro did not hit the goal directly. He kicked the ball back with his left foot. The moment Ribeiro kicked the ball, the Gosho ambush in Barcelona penalty area. Several tall players took off at the same time, and the Barcelona players who defended them also took off one after another. There was chaos in the penalty area, but the ball crossed everyone's heads and flew to the back point. Gosho's central defender Chevali, who was ambush at the back point, rushed out of the crowd, stopped the ball with his thighs, and then took the opportunity to shoot. , hit the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

Chevali rushed to the stands of Gosau fans with great excitement. This is the second goal in a row for Gosau, and these two goals are very important. In the last game, he equalized the score for the team at the last moment, avoiding the team's losing streak in the league, and in this game, he started for the team. The record broke the deadlock on the field. You should know that the opponent of this game is the powerful Barcelona team.

More than 50,000 Gosho fans in the game cheered loudly, and Chevalli's teammates rushed to him excitedly and threw him to the ground. They excitedly celebrated Chevalli's goal.
