Five Hundred and Four, the Battle of the Three Crowns
Mestagna Stadium, Valencia, Spain.
Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final.
Spanish King Juan Carlos and the Queen came to watch the game, and they will also attend the award ceremony for Barcelona to win the La Liga championship. This made Juan Carlos, a die-hard Real Madrid fan, full of displeasure.
The whole world knows that he once bet on his throne for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid this season is destined to be empty-handed, and it is difficult to shake Barcelona's dominance.
In this Copa del Rey final, the Basque Lions from the north once caused trouble for Barcelona.
Javi Martinez took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal with a long-range shot from behind.
This tall and strong Spanish midfielder is not as clumsy as he can see from his tall and strong appearance. On the contrary, his foot skills are quite good, and he has a not weak kick and long-range shots.
After all, it was cultivated in Spain.
Athletic Bilbao also began to put pressure on Barcelona, and even made Barcelona a little embarrassed on the scene.
After Barcelona controlled the ball, they frequently created threats behind the oppressive Athletic Bilbao.
Until the 31st minute, Yaya Toure, who played as a central defender in this game, suddenly dribbled the ball in the middle, changed direction to avoid the blocking of two players, and then passed Athletic Bilbao The central defender Amorebieta volleyed vigorously from 20 meters in front of the goal to equalize the score for Barcelona.
Yaya Toure's goal was almost in the same position as Harvey Martinez's goal just now.
No one thought that the two tall and strong defensive players would become the team's scoring heroes.
In the first half, they shook hands one to one to make a draw, but in the second half, Barcelona made an effort from the beginning.
Messi finally showed his power.
The Argentine genius first hit the goal after passing two people in a row, and then kept threatening Athletic Bilbao's goal.
In the fifty-fourth minute, Messi went straight to the right side of the penalty area. After Eto'o inserted a low shot and was blocked, Messi followed up and made a supplementary shot, 2-1.
Barcelona reversed the score.
Only four minutes later, it was Messi's precise through ball, and Bojan broke into the left side of the penalty area, and calmly hit a low shot, 3 to 1!
In the 64th minute, Messi dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was brought down by Amorebieta. Harvey calmly took the penalty kick and further expanded the score to 4 to 1!
Then, an interesting scene appeared in the stadium.
The Barcelona fans at the scene began to celebrate winning the championship in advance.
At present, in La Liga, they are already eight points ahead of Real Madrid. With only three rounds left, winning the championship is a certainty, and now they have won the Copa del Rey, which makes them very excited.
The Double Crown is here!
But they were not satisfied, but set their sights on the Champions League final!
After Athletic Bilbao's loss, the action became more and more serious. They began to call on Guardiola to replace Messi in the stands, for fear that the Basque Lions would invade Messi and make the Argentine injured and unable to participate in the Champions League. finals.
Guardiola also quickly replaced Messi with Hleb, which earned him applause.
Four to one, Barcelona finally reversed Athletic Bilbao!
...
After the team won the Copa del Rey, Guardiola was interviewed by media reporters in the comprehensive interview area.
At this time, as far away as the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy, Naples had also defeated Sampdoria, successfully won the Coppa Italia championship, and the double crown was in sight.
When Guardiola heard the news from the media, he smiled and congratulated Gao Shenyao.
"I want to congratulate Gao, he and Naples are worthy of the double crown, and, to win the double crown for two consecutive seasons, Naples has proved its strength, and Gao has also proved that he is the best head coach in European football today one."
For Barcelona's Copa del Rey final, Guardiola expressed his satisfaction, but the team conceded a goal. This is a defensive problem, and he thinks it needs to be summed up.
Recently, Guardiola has put Yaya Toure in the central defender's position, and the Ivorian's performance is also remarkable, so that Puyol can only move around on the left back and right back.
According to the current Champions League accumulative yellow card suspension rules, Abidal will have to miss the Champions League final because of the accumulated yellow cards in the semi-final match against Liverpool, which will also have a certain impact on Barcelona.
Guardiola said that there will indeed be some impact, but he believes his team can overcome it.
"I know Gao Shen very well, and I know Naples very well. I know their strength. This will be our most important game of the season and our strongest opponent."
"We have been preparing for this game in the past period and in the next period of time. I believe that we can adjust to the best condition before the Champions League final!"
"In Rome we have only one goal and that is the title!"
"Triple Crown!"
...
In addition to Guardiola, Barcelona players such as Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Eto'o and Yaya Toure have all publicly expressed their vision and expectations for the Champions League final in interviews with the media.
They are all ambitious to win the treble.
In front of the media, Messi uttered a rare high-profile slogan, "We swear to win the Triple Crown!" Such a slogan.
It can be seen that the Barcelona locker room is already determined to win this final!
The same is true of the Spanish media.
Even the media like Aspen and Marca, which are close to Real Madrid, are supporting Barcelona, hoping that Barcelona can regain a Champions League for Spain and achieve the Triple Crown.
But the mouthpiece of Real Madrid also reminded Barcelona that it is not easy to achieve this.
"Gao Shen and his Naples are also going for the Triple Crown!"
After defeating Sampdoria, the Coppa Italia champion was won. In Serie A, Naples is basically a sure winner. Both teams are also aiming for the Triple Crown. This makes the media and fans all over the world excited.
This is definitely an extremely rare scene in world football.
The two teams that participated in the Champions League final won both domestic league and cup competitions.
No matter who wins the Champions League, it will become the first triple crown team in the history of its own league and will make history.
After the Italian media reported that Barcelona won the Copa del Rey, they also reminded Gao Shen and his Naples to be careful of Barcelona, especially Messi.
In the game against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona still felt very troubled by the full-court press of the Basque Lions, but in the second half, Messi's sudden force, in just ten minutes , Completely disintegrated this tactical play of Athletic Bilbao, and he directed three goals alone.
It can be said that Messi is the soul core of this Barcelona team!
Sacchi also made suggestions for Gao Shen in the column of Gazzetta dello Sport, thinking that in order to contain Barcelona, Messi must be frozen.
But the trouble is that now, Guardiola does not seem to be willing to put Messi on the wing, but put him in the middle.
It's as if Guardiola likes to put Yaya Toure in the center back and let Busquets play in the fourth position.
This makes it more difficult for Naples to defend Messi's tactics.
...
After returning from the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Naples did not have time to rest, but ushered in the crucial thirty-sixth round of Serie A on the weekend.
As long as Turin wins this game, Naples will win the championship early.
But this game was not easy to play.
Turin is currently ranked 17th, only one point away from the relegation zone. In order to avoid relegation, they will definitely fight Naples desperately.
And Naples is a consecutive week of double matches, Gao Shen also has to prepare for the Champions League final.
Therefore, before the game, Gao Shen said that the team will not be overly demanding to win the championship early at home.
The implication is that the championship is already ours anyway, and it does not make any difference to us Naples if we win the first round or the last round, and we will not change our preparation plan for this.
Sure enough, in the game against Turin, Gao Shen still played with a full substitute lineup.
The two sides played inextricably. Throughout the first half, Torino performed extremely tenaciously, and the formation of 4411 made the team's defense extremely strong.
Until the forty-fourth minute, Pellet made a ball in the middle of the penalty area, allowing Valencia to seize the opportunity and shoot a low shot to open the scoring for Naples.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Naples seized the opportunity decisively and launched a wave of rushing attacks, forming an overwhelming advantage over Turin. In the 51st minute, with Callejon's assist, Pellet made another round for Naples. The next city, two to zero!
This goal basically sealed the victory.
Then in the 72nd minute, in a quick counterattack, Hamsik dribbled the ball and forcibly broke through. After breaking through the pincer attack of two defenders, he made another victory for Naples in the penalty area, 3-0!
Naples finally beat Torino 3-0 at home and won a victory.
Although in another game at the same time, Inter Milan defeated Siena 3-0 with the goals of Cambiasso, Balotelli and Ibrahimovic, but it was already powerless to stop Naples.
The Gaoshen team won the Serie A championship this season two rounds ahead of schedule and successfully defended the title.
And after winning the Coppa Italia, Naples achieved the defending double for two consecutive seasons!
This made the entire St. Paul Stadium completely jubilant.
The fly in the ointment is that due to uncertainty, the Italian Football Association did not send the championship trophy to Naples before the game against Turin. Therefore, the award ceremony of the league championship can only be reserved for the thirty-eighth round of the game.
Fortunately, in that battle, Naples also played at home.
After the team defeated Turin, captain Montevino and Cannavaro Jr. held the Coppa Italia championship just won at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Under the guard of the whole team, they paraded around the field and accepted the fans cheers.
Although, the Serie A championship trophy has not yet been won, but the Coppa Italia championship trophy is also a kind of compensation.
More than 50,000 Naples fans in the audience were also cheering hoarsely, and at the same time called on the team to make persistent efforts and win the Triple Crown!
