Chapter 220 Substitute

Digan's acquisition of Florence is all going on in a low-key way. Now he has just signed a simple contract. There are many things to do next, such as asset evaluation, statistics and so on. In short, a lot of troubles need to be dealt with. These degans are completely uninterested and are all handed over to Zahavi to handle. The most important thing for him now is the upcoming Champions League final.

Barcelona's opponent can be said to have been throughout Digan's career, from the initial confrontation between Digan and Messi to the subsequent Digan's joining Barcelona and being suppressed.

In recent seasons, Barcelona's situation has been in a bad situation after retiring from the media. It was not until this season that the team paid a lot of money to introduce Argentine youth talent Palin with Messi's second generation that it finally emerged, not only overturning their sworn adjudily Real Madrid, which has suppressed their several seasons in the league. He even reached the Champions League final in one fell swoop.

This game was played at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Digan is not unfamiliar with San Siro. In addition to playing here for a season, Degan has never lost here when he played for Atlanta and Florence. It can be said that this is the blessed land of Dugan.

But today, when the game started, Degan can only sit on the bench. Degan has no objection to Antiennis's choice. After all, he has just returned. He failed to show too good competitive form against Arsenal in the last game, and it is reasonable to play as a substitute.

The one who serves as the single arrow is still Hadley. Henry, the boy said before the start of the game: "Today's final winner can only be Tottenham Hotspur, and I will officially ascend the throne here."

After the game started, Hadley. Henry also performed very well, and his physical fitness and technology are absolutely first-class. With his strong point to get the ball in the front court, Tottenham Hotspur's attack is outstanding.

In comparison, Palin looks a little silent. He played in the position of Cruyff in Barcelona. He is a typical free man in the frontcourt. There is basically no fixed position. Before the center line, he can be seen everywhere.

However, today, Palin's sharp breakthrough and long-range shots outside the penalty area were completely invisible in the first ten minutes after the start of the game. He was just taking the ball, passing the ball, and playing the role of an offensive connection point.

Bang!

Hadley. Henry's heavy shot hit the goal and hit the beam of the Barcelona goal fiercely and flew out of the bottom line. This was also the best opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur after the opening.

Seeing that the ball didn't score, Hadley. Henry also looked very annoyed, but his performance was commendable. Of course, it would be better if he could defend back as soon as possible.

Barcelona opened the goal ball, and the goalkeeper did not move forward directly, but handed it over to his teammates on the defensive line. After so many years, Barcelona still played TIKI-TAKA, but after so many years of training, TIKI-TAKA has become more cloudy now. Water transmission and control are also more reasonable, without those meaningless inversions, and become more aggressive.

As an old enemy of TIKI-TAKA, Antiennis' familiarity with this tactic is also unparalleled. Although Tottenham Hotspur seemed a little embarrassed when dealing with it on the court, at least he would not be led by Barcelona like other teams.

After the initial stage of adaptive contact, the game began to gradually fall into a deadlock. Both sides did not have a good way for a while. Both teams are full of firepower. When the real competition, neither side dares to be too careless. There are not many troops invested in the attack.

There's nothing we can do!

This is the final!

In a decisive game, who dares to risk his life to attack? In case there is a small loophole in the defense line, it will be fatal. At that time, he will be attacked by his opponent and put a bus in front of the goal, and some people will cry.

"Hadley! Defense! Defense! Back guard! Don't you understand?"

Antiennis didn't know how many times he rushed to the sidelines to roar. He was also a little helpless about that genius English boy. Probably geniuses are like this, and he is proud of talent.

But Degan is also a genius, even better than Hadley. Henry is more domineering, but Degan's domineering can always be shown in an acceptable way, but Hadley. Henry is different. His domineering looks a little stubborn.

For example, defense, as long as you go on the court, Hadley. Henry will never retreat to the center line. The fight in the front court also looks symbolic. In short, it feels a little lazy.

"If that boy doesn't know how to treat the game correctly, he can't have much potential in his life!" Antienes returned to the coach's bench angrily.

Ledley. Jin heard the words and said, "Boss! Hadley is just a child!"

Andiernis said angrily, "Rode is already a world champion at his age!"

When he said this, Antiennis also knew that he had made a mistake, anyway Hadley. Henry is also his player, so it's a little too much to say that.

The game on the court continues. Although Tottenham Hotspur is comparable to Barcelona on the scene, I don't know why, it always gives people the feeling that something is missing.

After the silence after the opening, Palin gradually began to break out. His figure is very similar to his predecessor Messi, but he is much stronger, faster and more skilled than Messi. As long as the football is at his feet, it will be difficult for others to take it away.

And Palin is not blind in carrying the ball. He is very old-fashioned about the rhythm of the game and the handling of the ball, which is completely inconsistent with his youth.

Hadley in the 32nd minute of the first half of the game. Henry dribbled the ball in the front court, and the two side players plugged in at high speed. At this time, Hadley. Henry's best choice is to pass the ball to any point on both sides.

Before the game, Antienes has made it very clear that Barcelona's biggest weakness is the two full-backs. In La Liga, the players in these two positions are assists. Often after attacking, they can't get them back. Tottenham can take advantage of this feature of the other side to play behind the opponent.

But at this moment, Hadley, who has been stimulated by the game. Henry didn't have this consciousness at all. He just wanted to perform well and prove to everyone that he was fully capable of taking over Degan's gun and becoming the NO.1 on the Tottenham front line.

But in a whole area like him, the final result is that he often enters a dead end and is surrounded by the other party. At that time, even if he wants to pass the ball, there is no line.

Today, it is still Pike who defends Barcelona's defense line. Although he is 36 years old, he is still in a very good state and his experience is very experienced.

In this game, Pike's task is to keep an eye on Hadley. Henry, although Pike can be Hadley at both ages. Henry's uncle, in terms of physical fitness, especially speed, Hadley. Henry can safely dump him three streets, but he still has a way to deal with the reckless young man.

See Hadley. Henry rushed straight over with the ball. Pike quickly gave way to the first line of defense and let his central defender partner meet him. He retreated to the second line when Hadley. After Henry broke through his partner, the speed also dropped, and Pike grabbed it, Hadley. Henry was completely caught off guard. Although his technique is very good, the biggest dependence on the breakthrough is still speed. Now he can't play his speed. In the face of Pike, who has experienced and defensive technology has returned to its original state, he can only surrender. When he wants to pass the ball, he finds that no I know when he was in a siege, and all the passing lines were cut off by his opponent.

With such a stunnedgong fu, Pick suddenly stretched out his foot, stabbed the ball away, and then made a long pass directly to find Palin, who was moving on the middle line.

Barcelona's counterattack!

"Defense! Defense!" Seeing this, Antienis couldn't help but be shocked and roared.

Barcelona's counterattack speed is very fast. After receiving the ball, Palin turned around and passed the ball out. After taking two steps forward from the Barcelona winger on the left, he grabbed the ball and crossed it before the Tottenham defender's defense.

Palin told him to plug in in the middle, pull the ball horizontally at the moment of receiving the ball, then poked it forward, and then accelerated forward. Tottenham's defense was on the verge of collapse. Everyone was running, but it was soaking in disorderly and looked very messy.

Palin's little skills are really excellent. Even Digan, who is watching off the court, can't help but praise him secretly. People are used to calling Palin "Messi II", but Degan feels that Palin now, even Messi at its peak, is much better than that.

Palin, who had rushed into the penalty area, looked calm in front of the Tottenham's goalkeeper. Her body swayed left and right, shaking the center of gravity of the Tottenham's goalkeeper. Then, in the process of carrying the ball at high speed, she suddenly stabbed without warning.

The Tottenham goalkeeper was caught off guard. Although he made a save move, he was completely unable to stop the football from entering the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! Palin! Palin! Palin! Palin took the lead for Barcelona, scored a beautiful goal, Barcelona's classic quick counterattack tactics, and finally Palin scored the ball! 1:0! Barcelona took the lead!"

The commentator of Catalonia roared excitedly, and the Barcelona fans at the scene were even more jubilant. Although it was too recent, it was definitely a great thing for them to meet Tottenham Hotspur, an old enemy, in the Champions League final and win the battle, although at this time There is no Messi on the court, and Degan can only sit on the sidelines and become a spectator again.

Seeing this goal, Antienes looked very angry and shouted at the court: "What the hell are you doing, pass the ball!" Pass the ball!"

Obviously, Tottenham conceded the ball just now, Hadley. Henry had to bear most of the responsibility, precisely because he blindly dribbled the ball in the front court, causing the ball to be broken by Barcelona and counterattacked.

Degan also shook his head repeatedly. He must admit that after returning, Tottenham Hotspur is no longer the super club that has ruled the world football for nine years.

If it was before he was injured, Barcelona's counterattack just now could not be fought at all, and he would be blocked in the midfield. Even if he can't intercept the ball and fouls to stop Barcelona's attack, it's good!

After losing the ball, Tottenham's morale was also greatly affected. The next game in the first half completely fell into the rhythm of Barcelona. The 11 Tottenham Hotspur players on the court could only be led by Barcelona's nose, dizzy and completely out of rules.

If it weren't for Tottenham's defense, and after scoring a goal, Barcelona's luck began to decline. Maybe the game will lose suspense before the end of the first half.

Bi~~~~~~~~~

With the referee's whistle and the end of the first half of the game, Tottenham players lowered their heads and walked off the court one by one, like eggplant beaten by frost.

Digan is preparing to work with Ledley. Kim warmed up together, but was stopped by Antiennis: "Rod! Come with me and we'll go to the locker room!"

Digan was stunned and understood instantly when he saw Antiennis's eyes. Is this going to change people in the midfield?

Of course, Digan was very happy to play in the last game and didn't say anything. He followed Antiennis and walked into the player channel together.

This scene naturally did not avoid people's sight, and some people immediately became excited.

"Digan also went to the locker room. Is it possible that Antiennis is going to change people at halftime?"

"After the return of the last game, Degan's state seemed very ordinary, but at this time, I suddenly sounded a sentence, never doubt Degan!"

"Although I doubt Degan's current state, considering the relationship between Degan and Antiennis, maybe it's not impossible for him to appear in the second half!"

"And it has been revealed before that Degan will choose to retire after the end of this season, so at this time, giving Degan the most luxurious retirement ceremony is also the best reward for his conscientious service to Tottenham Hotspur in ten years!"

Compared with other people's complicated moods, Levi Jr. in the VIP table at this moment is Manchester United's anger: "Go and tell that Belgian that I don't want to see Degan appear in the finals! Otherwise, he will get out of here!"

The Champions League champion still has full control of Tottenham Hotspur. If Levi Jr. is allowed to choose here, he will not hesitate to choose the latter.

Although little Levi also wants to win the Champions League, once Degan becomes the protagonist of this game, he has worked hard to support Hadley for more than half a year. Henry, haven't all the efforts made to eliminate Degan's influence in the Tottenham team have been in vain?

Such a situation is absolutely unacceptable to little Levi. He can lose the championship trophy, but he must not let his plan suffer any damage.

Little Levi's assistant Douglas heard this, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. He considered the problem much easier than little Levi, Hadley. Henry is young and English, and is more attached to his business development plan. This game, Hadley. Henry is the protagonist as a matter of course. Whether it is a hero or a tragic hero, he has arranged this play.

If Degan suddenly jumps out and grabs Hadley. Henry's limelight is completely unacceptable.

Get up and leave!

Before Antienes walked to the locker room, his mobile phone rang. Seeing that it was Douglas calling, he couldn't help frowning. Since Little Levi took over the team, there has been no intersection between him and Little Levi's assistant Douglas. Why did Douglas call at this time?

"Hey! Mr. Douglas, I must let you understand that I am preparing for a very important game now, and I don't want anyone to disturb me!"

Douglas said, "Of course, I don't want to. I called you mainly to convey a suggestion from Chairman Levi. He doesn't want Degan to appear on the court!"

As soon as Antienes heard this, he immediately became angry: "Mr. Douglas, I am responsible for how the team plays and who will arrange to play, not you, let alone Chairman Levi. I know when and who to arrange to play. No one needs to worry about this!"

In English football, the head coach of a team is the real person to talk about. When Levi was in the position, he did not dare to dictate Antiennis's work, not to mention Levi Jr. who had just joined the home team.

Douglas said, "Coach Antienes, I must remind you that this is not only a suggestion, but also an order, if~~~~~~"

Before Douglas finished speaking, Antiennis interrupted him: "I'll tell you now that I will resign immediately after the end of this season, but in this game, you'd better retract the outstretched dog's paws. I have the final say about the team! It's not your turn to dictate!"

After saying that, Antiennis hung up the phone directly, pushed the door and entered the locker room.

Douglas was stunned for a long time and whispered to little Levi, "It's no different from what I thought. Antiennis refused. He didn't need anyone to dictate!"

Little Levi was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect Antienes to refuse his order: "Damn it! Is he crazy?"

In Levi's opinion, Tottenham Hotspur is his personal belongings. His decision is above all else, and anyone must implement it unconditionally, but this time Antienis refused.

"That damn old Belgian man, I want him to pay the price!"

Douglas said, "I think he has considered it very clearly. He just said that he will resign immediately after the game is over!"

Little Levi's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this. Although he had long wanted Antiennis and Degan to get out together, he was also a little panicked when he really faced this situation.

After all, in the past ten years, Tottenham has been supported by the two apprentices, Degan and Antiennis. Now all of a sudden, Degan is leaving, and Antiennis has to leave, even if he has already chosen a replacement for the two, Boas and a Hadley. Henry, but can the newcomer really support the country that took ten years to fight?

On the other side, after walking into the locker room, Antienes was still angry. He didn't expect Levi Jr. to put his hand into the team during this game.

Who is he?

He is the godfather of Tottenham Hotspur. Although his influence on Tottenham is not as good as Ferguson's to Manchester United, he is definitely the most successful head coach in the history of more than 100 years.

Now little Levi dares to point fingers at him and put his hand into his sphere of power, which is absolutely unpermissible by Antiennis. He had decided to retire after the end of this season, but now he has strengthened this idea.

If Tottenham leaves Digan, it will not be Tottenham. In that case, there will be no need for Antienes, who is also from Belgium.

"Let's all cheer up. Have we lost now?" Antienis's opening remarks were to vent a fire, "Kid guys! You played so badly in the first half. I can't believe it. This is a majestic Tottenham Hotspur. Are you funny? Still, like your predecessors, you won the championship and don't want to continue, guys! You are still far away! Khalid. Mr. Henry!"

Sure enough, Hadley was the first to aim at Antienes' sharp spearhead. Henry: "Can you explain what happened to our loss of the ball!"

If it was before, Hadley. Henry will definitely be scared to death when he is questioned by Antiennis, but now it's different. He has the support of little Levi and is not afraid of Antienis at all: "Coach! I can only tell you that that's not exactly my responsibility. My responsibility is to score goals and defend the team. Naturally, others will do it, okay! I was cut off, but nothing happened. I don't think even Degan can guarantee that he won't be cut off on the court!"

Antiennis was stunned and suddenly smiled: "Well said! I think we should do an experiment next and have a look! Rod! In the second half, you replaced this so-called stinky boy! Let him see how you play football!"

Digan didn't say anything, just nodded.

It's Hadley. Henry was stunned and was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He jumped up excitedly and shouted, "No! You can't do that!"
