Chapter 464 It's Not Time to Go Out!

A lot of people were criticizing Ronaldinho, it felt like Barcelona lost to Manchester City because of Ronaldinho's poor performance.

But in fact, Ronaldinho did not get even a minute of playing time in the first round.

Perhaps the expectations are too high, and the disappointment is too great. There is no doubt that Ronaldinho is one of the biggest stars in the world. Although everyone knows that his state has declined recently, he has not played for Barcelona for half a year. But he will be expected by a lot of people as soon as he comes out.

Now Ronaldinho's performance has not met many expectations.

However, on the field, many people have a different view.

Wansheng is one of them.

From the beginning of the second half until now, Wan Sheng has been standing on the sidelines, watching the game of the two teams carefully, he noticed Ronaldinho's performance, the reason is that Morris defended Brumer several times.

Obviously, the two faced Ronaldinho and the pressure was still great.

This is already very powerful.

There is no need to say more about the ability of Blumer and Morris to cooperate in defense against a single player. It is not easy for some well-known stars to face Blumer alone, let alone add another Murray. s.

But Blumer alone can't limit Ronaldinho at all, and Morris needs to constantly cooperate to clip the defense in order for the defense to work.

This shows that Ronaldinho's state is actually not as bad as he imagined.

In fact, Morris and Blumer's defensive pressure is indeed not small. Compared with defending Messi, Ronaldinho brings them more pressure.

Messi is only technically good, while Ronaldinho is technically good and experienced. His physical confrontation ability is also much better than Messi.

This is the top player in the world.

In comparison, Morris is actually no worse than Ronaldinho, but Morris is the defensive side, and the defensive side is always passive.

With Maurice and Brumer on the defensive, Ronaldinho is still working hard, and he hopes he can perform and fight back against the media and fans who criticized him.

When many people have given up hope, Nardinho still insists, even if he can find a gap, an opportunity, he will never give up.

By this time, the Brazilians were thinking about the game.

Even Ronaldinho is very clear that Barcelona has no chance, but he still insists, just to prove that he is still in shape, still the world footballer who once led Barcelona to win the Champions League.

Finally, in the 84th minute of the game, Ronaldinho saw an opportunity.

After the ball was stolen at Iniesta's feet, Ronaldinho rushed over and recovered the ball from Ivan Crewe.

The format of the game has taken a sharp turn!

The Manchester City fans who cheered in the audience immediately began to worry about their goal.

After Ronaldinho grabbed the ball, he made a small change of direction and swayed Blumer directly, and then faced the three-person defense of Ivan Crewe, Morris and Blumer behind him. A pass that fooled two people and kicked the ball through the gap, in an almost impossible situation, Ronaldinho shook off Morris, caught up with the ball and rushed directly into the penalty area.

"Look at this ball... this ball... Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho!"

The stadium broadcaster Berbat exclaimed.

Ronaldinho had already brought the ball into the penalty area. In the face of Dunn's interception, he picked up the ball with his toes. This action confused Dunn, but the next moment, Ronaldinho swung sideways. Right foot up.

Volley shot!

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang when the foot contacted the football, and the football almost dashed towards the goal in a straight line against the turf.

Wang Xiaolei wanted to save, but the ball was too fast.

He almost watched the football fly past the goal line by his side.

3 to 1!

Ronaldinho helps Barcelona recover a goal!

The media and fans on the field were staring blankly at the goal, and everyone was amazed at the goal!

However, the goal came too late.

Just like the Spanish commentator, after exclaiming the goal, he said, "Even if Ronaldinho helps Barcelona score a goal, nothing can be saved. Barcelona is still two goals away, adding stoppage time. In less than ten minutes, Barcelona has already been eliminated early..."

The words of the Spanish narrator also represent a point of view.

If Ronaldinho scored such a goal two years ago, almost all fans and the media would have cheered and excited, even if he lost the game.

But now Barcelona has entered the era of Messi.

In Messi's era, Ronaldo was like the superfluous one in the team, because he was the core, the number one team, the biggest big name, and his status was unshakable, so he became superfluous, because Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to call him a substitute.

That's why Barcelona made a farce of' Ronaldinho's fake injury'. Obviously Ronaldinho was not injured, but the official website of Barcelona announced that the Brazilian was injured, so that Messi could be 'righteous'.

Same now.

When Ronaldinho scored a goal, no one said anything except a few familiar teammates. Even the Barcelona fans were not interested. There was no goal celebration at all, and there was no Barcelona. The player goes and takes the ball out to start over.

It's like Ronaldinho is not a Barcelona player, it was not their goal just now, and they also gave up the game.

So the audience to celebrate the goal, only a few Barcelona fans and Ronaldinho himself.

There was no joy on Ronaldinho's face.

After scoring the goal, he roared in the sky, as if he wanted to vent all his suppressed emotions.

Then Ronaldinho looked at his teammates, looked at the Manchester City fans around the stadium, looked at the few applauding fans in the Barcelona fans stand, and suddenly he felt that he did not belong to the team.

Barcelona, ​​the team that left him the deepest memory.

He has been playing here since Paris Saint-Germain became famous, but it is all over now. He is not the star of the team and was sent to the bench, so that few people cheered for the goal.

What a wonderful goal!

Ronaldinho sighed, looking at the eyes of other teammates became very complicated, the only thing he knew was that he should leave.

————

Ronaldinho's goal can't change the result of Barcelona's failure.

3 to 1.

In less than ten minutes, it was not easy for Barcelona to recover two goals.

Through the goal just now, everyone felt the strength of Ronaldinho. He faced the defense of Maurice, Ivan Crewe and Brumer alone, still controlled the ball under his feet, and brought in The ball is scored in the penalty area.

Some players can't help but wonder, what would Ronaldinho be like two years ago? Then you have to sigh: "As expected of the world footballer!"

But Ronaldinho is only one person after all, football is a sport of eleven people, and it is difficult to save the situation if only one person performs brilliantly.

Barcelona launched a fierce attack at the last minute, but the price was unstable at the back. As a result, Manchester City scored again in the 91st minute of the game.

Manchester City counterattack extremely fast!

It took only three feet to pass the football from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then Torres crossed Morris and handed the last chance to Morris.

Morris threw off Marquez, faced goalkeeper Valdes with a single shot, and made the final blow with a push shot.

————

"Maurice! Maurice! Maurice!"

"Maurice helped Manchester City score another goal at the last moment of the game, and the score became 4-1 in the two rounds!"

Victory is decided!

After Maurice completed the goal, Barcelona had already resigned, and the remaining time allowed them to score three goals against the team, let alone to tie the score.

Barcelona fans watched the game in silence.

They could not be quiet, as Manchester City fans began to celebrate excitedly, and the entire stadium was filled with excited cheers.

Most of the Barcelona fans have already left early.

The stadium belongs entirely to Manchester City.

4 to 1, this result is cruel for Barcelona. Those Spanish media who support Barcelona have stopped talking because they feel that they have lost so badly that they can't even find any reason.

Manchester City won the first leg 0-2 at Camp Nou.

Back at home, Manchester City won another 2-1.

What is there to say?

What other excuses can there be?

The two rounds of Barcelona were completely abused. From the first minute of the game between the two teams, they could no longer find a reason to support Barcelona to win.

The only remaining voices are congratulations and praise to Manchester City.

"The game is over!"

"Manchester City eliminated Barcelona 4-1 in two rounds and reached the final of the UEFA Champions League! This is the first time in their history. Wan Sheng led the team and created a new history again!"

"The other game tomorrow, Manchester United vs Chelsea, will decide which opponent Manchester City will face in the final, but this night belongs to Manchester City and they can prepare to go to Moscow..."

————

The game is over, the enthusiasm at Manchester Stadium remains unabated, and the fans in the audience celebrate with excitement.

As early as a few months ago, many fans thought that Manchester City can achieve good results in the Champions League, but what is the standard of 'good results'?

Naturally better than last season.

Manchester City entered the quarter-finals last season, so this season is definitely going to enter the quarter-finals!

When the team entered the semi-finals, the fans began to look forward to the final again. Even if the opponent was Barcelona, ​​they also had confidence in the team entering the final, because the coach was... Wansheng!

"Wan Sheng said that he will fight for all the championships he can this season! I believe he can do it!"

There are more than one fans who have such confidence in Wansheng. In the past three seasons, Wansheng has never disappointed Manchester City fans, so they have full confidence in Manchester City's good results in the Champions League.

However, when the moment came to see the team eliminated Barcelona, ​​Manchester City fans were still excited.

Champions League final!

This is the most glorious moment in Manchester City's 100-year history!

Everyone felt so excited when they thought they had witnessed the most glorious moment for the team in a century, and they celebrated with all their might to reach the final.

On the field, Manchester City players are also celebrating.

The elimination of Barcelona in this final just got a ticket to Moscow, but it is already exciting to be able to enter the Champions League final. How many teams want to enter the final but can't?

It's like a lost Barcelona, ​​they worked hard for a season and finally fell.

Manchester City succeeded.

City were the winners, or rather, they were the winners, so everyone was very excited.

The players on the bench, the coaches and the club's staff have all rushed into the stadium, and everyone gathered to hug each other and cheered constantly.

Wan Sheng stood in the crowd, and he smiled happily.

The team has passed the Barcelona level and is one step closer to the goal.

There are only two finals left this season.

The two finals are civil wars in England, he has full confidence in this, and one champion seems to be in sight.

————

In the post-match press conference, Wansheng did not say anything about Barcelona.

Manchester City have won, and the victory is the best proof, he has to maintain his demeanor, there is no need to ridicule the losers.

Sorry for the British media.

As far as European football is concerned, Spain is also a strong competitor of England. Now they have the opportunity to attack their opponents.

So the British media's perspective also turned to domestic.

The next day, in the Champions League semi-final, Manchester United and Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea taking on Manchester United at home.

The game was seen as Grant's 'Battle of Proof'.

Grant has been questioned since he took over as Chelsea coach, but Chelsea's results are not bad. The Israelis led the team to third place in the league and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, tying the best team led by Jose Mourinho. However, the media and fans did not recognize his ability to lead the team. Many people believed that Grant achieved good results only by luck.

Former coach Jose Mourinho is one of them.

Mourinho has rested for a year. The biggest news recently is nothing more than his signing with Inter Milan. Inter Milan has confirmed that Mourinho will be the coach next season.

Then came the British media.

With Grant poised to become the first manager to lead Chelsea to a Champions League final, it's interesting to know what his predecessor thinks.

"I'm not jealous," replied Mourinho, who was on holiday in the Algarve.

Just a week ago, Chelsea had just beat Manchester United in the league, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, and a draw at Old Trafford. Grant's coaching results were still very good, but Mourinho took the credit for himself. under the account.

Mourinho thinks that even if Chelsea beat Manchester United to reach the final, it's not a big deal, and that doesn't mean Grant is doing better than himself.

"I won't be jealous of him, because all he uses is my stuff."

Some media reporters mentioned that Grant can be regarded as Chelsea's benefactor in the Champions League this season.

When the Israelis were in charge, the Blues were precarious in the group stage, and they were tied at home by Norway's Rosenberg. In the following rounds, Grant led the team to comeback, not only to keep the right to qualify, but also to beat Olympiakos and Liverpool in the knockout rounds until the Manchester United are in trouble.

But Mourinho doesn't see it that way.

Regarding Chelsea's Champions League journey this season, he concluded that luck is better than when he led the team, "We have faced Barcelona for three consecutive seasons. Last season, we finished the group stage with Barcelona and met Porto in the knockout stage. , another European champion, then, they eliminated Valencia, and finally met Liverpool. Now, Chelsea is getting better and better, is there no luck here?"

Mourinho did not forget to remind his successor, "It's just a result of standing on your shoulders."

Grant certainly didn't want to hear those words.

Even though Chelsea is now using Mourinho's 'stay' tactic, and his players are mostly looking to the Portuguese, he still wants to prove that his coaching is a success.

So he has to lead his team to eliminate Manchester City.

Leading Chelsea to the Champions League final is the best proof of his success.

Grant thought so, and he told the media the same. Hearing his words, even the harsh media couldn't help but look at the Israelis.

After all, Chelsea's opponent is Manchester United!

Even if the first leg is a bit of a 'cheap' at Old Trafford, it is not easy to eliminate Manchester United.

However, what most people, including Wansheng, did not expect is that after an ups and downs of extra time, Chelsea finally defeated Manchester United 3-2 and eliminated the Red Devils with a total score of 4-3. For the first time in the Champions League final.

Chelsea, who had reached the semi-finals three times in the previous four years but missed the final three times, finally managed to advance for the third time after being eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals twice in a row.

Chelsea played very well in this game.

After the opening, the Chelsea team showed a very high fighting spirit and a good competitive state, frequently creating murderous intentions in front of Manchester United's goal.

After unremitting efforts, Chelsea finally got the reward in the 35th minute. Kalou's shot was saved by Van der Sar, and Drogba shot from the right corner of the penalty area 12 meters into the net.

1 to 0!

Chelsea take the lead!

After the start of the second half, Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack.

In the 59th minute, Rooney made a low shot from the bottom right corner of the penalty area to help Manchester United tie the score.

Since the score between the two teams in the first round was also 1:1, after 90 minutes, the two sides had to enter extra time.

The real highlight of the game came in overtime.

In the 97th minute, Essien scored a strong shot but was ruled invalid. Within two minutes, Ballack was brought down in the penalty area, Chelsea won a penalty kick, and Lampard took it overnight.

Chelsea extended their lead in the 104th minute with momentum, and Drogba pushed into the net from the near corner of the small penalty area, making the score 3-1.

Although in the 118th minute, Cech saved C-Ronaldo's long-range shot and let Manchester United regain a point, the Red Devils, whose morale had been completely overwhelmed, failed to perform a miracle of reversal in the end.

At the moment when the whistle for the end of the game blew, Chelsea coach Grant couldn't stand on the sidelines excitedly, and behind the Israelis was a boiling blue ocean.

————

This game was talked about by the media fans for a long time, and the live TV commentator finally announced excitedly, "Chelsea beat Manchester United to approach the Champions League final, and they will have a showdown with Manchester City at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow!"

Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time when he heard the news.

In memory, this season's Champions League final was a matchup between Chelsea and Manchester United. Due to his arrival, Manchester City stepped in. Chelsea met Liverpool in advance. After defeating Liverpool, they met Manchester United in advance.

But in Wansheng, the current Chelsea and Manchester United are put together, whether it is history, strength or state, Manchester United should win the final victory.

After knocking out Barcelona, ​​Wansheng has already begun to look forward to stealing Manchester United's Champions League trophy in Moscow.

But now?

Chelsea are in the final!

What a surprise!

In addition to being surprised, Wansheng has a little regret. He is looking forward to meeting Manchester United and wants to steal another championship from Manchester United before leaving Manchester City.

Unexpectedly, Manchester United was out early?

They even lost the chance to enter the finals, and there is no grab and no grab.

Wan Sheng suddenly found that his little butterfly seemed to have grown up, and his wings were flapping more violently. Under his influence, not only Manchester City became very strong, but other teams were also greatly affected. The results of some important games have changed.

He could only smile wryly.

From now on, many memories of previous lives have lost their effect, and he has changed too many things, but this change is also good, at least it is developing in the direction he expects.

"Will it always be like this?"

Wansheng thought.

As an ordinary Chinese fan in the past life, and as an internationally renowned head coach in this life, what Wansheng hopes most is the development of Chinese football.

Chinese football has always been criticized by the majority of fans, and it has indeed disappointed fans again and again.

Now he is here.

He has the ability to change, and how much he can change depends on what he does.

Wansheng is not a saint.

He just hopes to make some changes within his ability, such as cultivating some outstanding players, so that China can have more outstanding players, and let the majority of Chinese fans have some hope in the hearts, but for him personally, it is difficult to accept some unreasonable demands.

Like this document in hand...

The Chinese Football Association once again sent an invitation, hoping that he will be the coach of the Chinese national team at the end of the season.

Wan Sheng couldn't understand why the Chinese Football Association did this. He has refused twice in a row, clearly expressing his attitude that he does not want to coach the Chinese national team, but the Chinese Football Association still issued a third invitation.

This is... Liu Bei's three visits to the Caolu?

The problem is that he is not Zhuge Liang, and now there is no way to support the 'nothing' Chinese team to play in the sky, and the Chinese Football Association is Liu Bei? Can they fully empower themselves?

There are constraints above, and there are no outstanding players below, and they are not even eligible to participate in the World Cup.

Even if he is Zhuge Liang, it is not yet time to leave the mountain! (To be continued ~^~)
