Chapter 91 The Sad Soldiers Will Win!
On April 11, Barcelona’s home game against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin.
At this time, the Camp Nou stadium was bustling with people. As one of the largest stadiums in the world, with 100,000 seats, Camp Nou became the most popular home stadium.
In the stands, Barcelona fans looked extremely excited.
No matter from which point of view, they have reasons to be happy.
First: Paris Saint-Germain's recent situation is very difficult and has seriously disturbed the players' mentality, so their probability of winning is greater.
Second: The Paris dynasty is about to collapse, and they can take the opportunity to take Yi Le home!
Who knows how much they want to take Yi Le back.
There was an internal survey, and almost all Barcelona fans gave a positive response to the question of 'taking Yile home'.
Some of them even believe that Yile is the only player who can restore Paris' competitiveness.
Yile will also fill the weak midfield vacancy after Xavi and Iniesta left.
It can be said that Yile's return will bring a qualitative change to Camp Nou.
Of course, it is too early to say this now, after all, it will take several months before the summer window opens.
Unlike the happy mood of Barcelona fans, Paris fans seemed to be in a depressed mood.
They felt their hearts twisting at the thought that, in a few months, all of Paris would fall apart.
They finally ushered in the best era, but they were about to lose everything.
The on-site commentator at Camp Nou also lamented: "This game has a special meaning for Paris. They have just experienced an analgesia, and now they have to endure the pain and continue to play!"
"Since last year, Paris Saint-Germain has ushered in the best era, with the midfield combination of Yi and Kante, the dual-core system of Yi + Neymar, and the two fast horses on the wing. Cavani's performance is also great. The defensive line is extremely stable, and Paris is about to leave a mark in football, but a penalty letter from UEFA makes all this meaningless."
"Yes, principles cannot be broken and no club is above the rules, but it has nothing to do with the players."
"Whether it's Yi, Neymar, Mbappe, Kante, etc... they don't know these things,
They put in a lot of effort when creating the Paris Dynasty, and at the same time, with them as the main body, this team emerged that was feared by the entire Europe. "
"But such a team will fall apart! But even so, we will not forget the short-lived dynasty from 2017 to 2019!"
"That club called Paris Saint-Germain, that star-studded team, that team that always only knows how to attack!"
"They are qualified enough to accept our respect!"
There was a burst of fierce applause.
Barcelona fans don't mind giving applause to their opponents.
On the other hand, the Paris fans were bitter in their hearts, and this comforting applause made them even more sad.
In the PP Sports commentary box, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also giving commentary.
"The scene burst into applause. This is the tribute given by Barcelona fans to Paris Saint-Germain. Although they are opponents, the strength of Paris Saint-Germain is still remembered by everyone."
"For us, in addition to paying attention to the latest developments in Paris, we also need to pay attention to another issue."
"Easy transfer in the summer window!"
As soon as Zhan Jun spoke, the barrage started going crazy.
Chinese fans love Yi Le very much, but they don’t like Paris Saint-Germain. In other words, they don’t like Ligue 1, a situation where Paris is the only one. They can only watch the Champions League all day long, and there is no need to guess the league. Paris will definitely win. .
Therefore, Yile's next store has become the focus of everyone's hot discussion.
Someone suggested going to Juventus to form the most powerful midfield and frontcourt partnership with Ronaldo.
Some people proposed to go to Liverpool to make up for the shortcomings of Liverpool's defensive midfielder and help the Red Army complete their dynasty recovery.
Someone suggested going to Manchester United to save the Red Devils!
Someone suggested going to Chelsea to bring Stamford Bridge back to glory!
Some people also suggested that Yi Le should go home and return to Barcelona, the place where he ran away five years ago.
There are different opinions, but Yile's transfer is still a mystery. No one knows where Yile will eventually choose.
After all, Yile's agent Perret has never said that Yile doesn't care about transfers now, and he will fully cope with every next game.
...
While Zhan Jun was discussing with Zhang Lu, huge cheers suddenly came from the scene.
The two looked over and saw that both teams had begun to walk out of the tunnel.
"Okay, now the two teams have finally walked out of the player tunnel and are about to start the focus of the Champions League quarter-finals!"
"This is another collision between the old and new dynasties. Will Barcelona, led by Messi, win at home, or will Paris Saint-Germain, led by Yile, still have strong dominance?"
"Yes!" Zhang Lu nodded and said: "Besides, Barcelona should be careful in this game. There is an old saying in China, a sad army will win!"
"Paris is now like a beast covered with scars. He is licking his wounds while waiting to snipe his prey!"
"It can be seen from the camera that every Paris player has a solemn expression, and even the always optimistic Yi Le has become taciturn! Is this a sign that Paris is about to explode or something else, we can look forward to it."
The starting lineup appears.
Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Bernat, Kimpembe, Thiago Silva, Thilo Cosell.
Midfielder: Kante, Yile, Marquinhos.
Forwards: Mbappe, Cavani, Neymar.
.....
Barcelona (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen
Defenders: Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba.
Midfielder: Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur.
Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Coutinho.
The formations on both sides are the same, both using a 4-3-3 lineup.
However, from a lineup perspective, Barcelona is not as solid as Paris Saint-Germain.
The 4-3-3 formation is known as both an angel and a devil. This formation highlights the two wings taking off and attaches great importance to the breakthrough of the two wings.
But the two wings will not participate in defense, which will test the ability of the midfielder.
Barcelona's three midfielders are Professor Bu, Rakitic and Arthur.
At first glance it looks good, but upon closer inspection I feel like something is missing.
Looking back at Paris Saint-Germain, Kante + Yile + Marquinhos.
You have to attack and attack, you have to defend and defend, you have to dribble and dribble, and you can also organize in the backcourt.
This highlights a solid point!
With such a lineup, the opponent's forwards have no appetite to break through, and they will be hit by counterattacks if they are not careful.
Of course, Messi and Suarez are not vegetarians.
If Messi is aggressive, it is really possible for him to penetrate the entire Paris defense by himself.
But the premise is that he needs to receive the ball in the frontcourt instead of actively retreating to ask for the ball.
Everyone understands that it is too difficult for Barcelona to pass the ball to Messi. After all, Paris will strictly guard against this.
Therefore, overall, Paris has the advantage.
