"Green Silly Waist ()" Find the latest chapter!
Since early in the morning, the whole city of Manchester has been ablaze.
The atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals is already in the air, especially for Manchester City fans, this is their crucial game.
Facing the powerful enemy from Spain, Manchester City did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Of course, they will not admit the strength of Barcelona. Parading fans can be seen on the streets of Manchester City.
They held banners mocking Barcelona, and Messi and Yile were especially taken care of.
Many of the banners compare Messi with Ronaldo.
A fan held up a photo of the short Messi looking up at Cristiano Ronaldo and shouted loudly.
Some people even equate Yi Le with mental retardation.
All kinds of banners were dazzling, and they also ignited the hot atmosphere of the whole city.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Barcelona players are making final preparations.
In the conference room, Valverde had already explained the final tactics. There were no special tactical arrangements. It was basically Barcelona's familiar playing style.
Valverde is different from other coaches in that he believes more in the familiarity that comes with diligent practice.
He firmly believes that the players are the absolute protagonists on the court, and the head coach's tactics are to maximize the players' abilities, rather than to play according to their own wishes.
For this reason, in Valverde's tireless training time and time again, Barcelona has now found a style of play that is particularly suitable for them.
This style of play may not necessarily be the most perfect, but it is definitely the most familiar.
Familiarity means not making mistakes, and it also means that the players know how to play the game.
Compared to those flashy technical and tactical arrangements, Valverde prefers to play steadily and win the world with one set of tactics.
"Okay, I've finished what I need to say. I don't want to deceive you. In fact, I'm not a magician. I don't have magical tactics. I believe that victory comes from diligent practice. We have honed this set of tactics. This is the tactic you are most familiar with for a long time, so just keep it as usual." After a pause, Valverde added: "I hope you remember one thing..."
Valverde looked solemnly, looked around at everyone, and said solemnly: "We are much stronger than we thought!"
boom! !
Valverde slapped the table hard and shouted: "Now, we are about to embark on the battlefield. Our journey is to capture the Manchester City Stadium. Only by stepping there can we reach the highest stage we dream of!"
"Guys! Defeat Manchester City and get our ticket to the final!"
...
As the sun sets, Manchester City Stadium is a lively scene.
The crowd here is dense, and the eyes are all Manchester City fans wearing light blue jerseys.
Today's Manchester City is not the unknown team in the early years. After receiving funding from the Arab consortium, they rose rapidly and squeezed into the Premier League BIG6 group, becoming a favorite team to win the championship.
At the same time, it is also building itself towards a wealthy club, buying star players, good operations, etc. These are all necessary conditions for Manchester City to succeed.
Today, Manchester City already has many star players and coaches such as De Bruyne, Aguero, Guardiola and so on.
This Manchester City team is definitely a tough one. Barcelona pride themselves on being strong, but they don't dare to be careless in the slightest.
In the bus, Yi Le and Griezmann were sitting together.
During this period, Griezmann would always leave the seat next to him to Yile, or perhaps take the initiative to ask Yile to come over and sit.
Now, the two have gradually become familiar with each other and become good friends.
Griezmann has a good personality, but his emotions fluctuate greatly, especially during games. He is prone to making mistakes due to emotional problems.
For this reason, Yi Le always encourages him, which makes Griezmann's sense of Yi Le even better.
The road leading to the Manchester City Stadium is noisy, with Manchester City fans on both sides heading towards the bus with the Barcelona logo on it.
Demonstration with raised fists.
The Barcelona players turned a blind eye to this. They had already experienced hundreds of battles and would not be frightened by such a move.
However, some unsightly banners also made many people angry.
But no one complained. They looked at these banners silently, as if there were flames rising in their eyes.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone entered the visiting team's dressing room at Manchester City Stadium.
Fifteen minutes later, players appeared on the court one after another coming out to warm up.
Television stations from all over the world are broadcasting this crucial battle.
The screen switches back and forth between Messi, Aguero, Yile, De Bruyne, Valverde and Guardiola.
Everyone knows that in this game, these few talents are the best focus.
...
At five o'clock, the players from the two teams finally officially entered the competition stage.
Commentators from various countries are also broadcasting with high emotions.
Messi and De Bruyne competed for side selection, and De Bruyne won the right to start for Manchester City.
Messi asked for the court on the left, which is backed by the stands of Barcelona fans. For them, it is a haven in the sea of fans.
Players from both sides shook hands. Players from the two teams passed each other. Most people just shook hands, but Messi and Aguero gave a hug.
Yile was not familiar with the Manchester City players, so he chose to shake hands.
But when he walked up to De Bruyne, the opponent had already opened his arms and hugged him gently, whispering: "This will be a wonderful game!"
Yi Le glanced at De Bruyne in surprise. He could feel De Bruyne's high-spirited struggle.
He is declaring war!
In this regard, Yi Le's response was simple and clear.
"I'm not going to throw out half-court rhythm."
De Bruyne smiled; "Yes, that's how it should be, but I will seize the rhythm and victory belongs to us!"
"Who knows!"
The two separated after a brief exchange, but anyone could feel the changes in the two of them in an instant.
"What did he tell you?"
On the way to his own half, Griezmann came over and asked.
Yi Le shook his head and said, "Concentrate, the game is about to start."
When the players from both sides came to their respective positions, the referee raised his hands to signal the goalkeepers on both sides. After receiving the feedback, he immediately blew the whistle.
The sharp whistle sounded, and the most anticipated game of the Champions League semi-finals finally kicked off.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City launched a sneak attack.
They took advantage of the fact that the Barcelona players had not yet adapted, and De Bruyne suddenly sent a quick diagonal pass with a change of pace, accurately finding Jesus.
Jesus went down quickly, got ahead of Alba who was assisting in defense, and passed the ball.
Aguero successfully touched the penalty area and was about to shoot the ball. At this time, Pique suddenly shot diagonally and kicked the ball out of the baseline with his big foot, thus saving the goal that was on the verge of collapse.
