Five Hundred and Eighteen Classic Reproduction

"The Napoli midfielder managed to steal the ball."

"Barcelona made a mistake in passing under the pressure of Napoli's midfield, look at the counterattack of Napoli this time."

"It was passed to Biglia, but Barcelona retreated quickly and Xavi came back."

"Pass it to the left and hand it over to Di Maria."

"Di Maria stopped the ball on the left."

"Biglia came up to meet him, but Harvey followed him every step of the way."

"Di Maria passed the ball to Villa, sprinted forward quickly, and Alves also started."

"Biglia knocked back to the bottom line on the left side of the box."

"Look at this time, Di Maria and Alves are competing for speed."

Di Maria sprinted very fast, slightly ahead of Alves, but on the inside of Alves, Pique was also close to the left line of the penalty area at the bottom, blocking Di Maria's low pass line.

The Argentine just glanced at it, noticed Cavani's movement, and knew it.

If this ball is passed low and flat, even if it is not blocked by Alves, it will definitely be blocked by Pique.

Therefore, he hardly thought about it. When he caught up with the ball, Alves was behind him, but Di Maria hardly adjusted, and he made a pass with his left foot and sent the ball directly to the front of the small penalty area. .

Sanchez was in ambush at the back point, holding Puyol in check, and Pique was standing next to the left side of the penalty area, causing Busquets, who was in the center, to deal with Cavani alone, and he stopped Cavani behind him.

When Di Maria sprinted, Busquets and Cavani also rushed from the front of the penalty area to the penalty area at the same time.

However, Cavani first tried to move to the left side of the penalty area from the rear, and arched Busquets with his body, making the Spaniard mistakenly think that he wanted to rush to the left side of the penalty area, hit Pique behind him, and go to pick up Di Maria.

This made Busquets move diagonally to the left when he entered the penalty area, still pinning Cavani behind him.

That is to say, if Di Maria wants to pass the ball to Cavani, he has to pass Busquets first.

Unexpectedly, Cavani behind him suddenly changed direction, throwing off Busquets and slanting into the middle of the small penalty area.

At this moment,

Di Maria also just threw off Alves and made a cross with his left foot.

Alves at the outermost did not block the pass, and the ball quickly passed Pique's header, flew over Busquets, and fell into the middle of the front of the small penalty area.

Puyol is experienced and has the fastest response. He got rid of Sanchez at the first time and chased up to the landing point of the ball.

But after Cavani rushed up, the speed was also very fast, like a heavy tank, with a whistling wind, it rushed to the landing point of the pass, and through the run, the whole person jumped high.

Puyol's jumping ability is actually good, but he can't stand his short height. Cavani, relying on his height advantage, took the initiative to attack, seized the opportunity, jumped up one step ahead of Puyol, and faced Di Maria's cross. The ball, directly a head hammer.

The ball was pushed to the right of the goal by Cavani.

Valdés also responded quickly. The original position was close to the left column and he quickly moved to the middle, but his speed could not keep up with the speed of the ball. When he saw Cavani jumping for a header, he flew out sideways.

But still can't touch the ball.

"goalllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

"In the fifty-ninth minute, Naples has another victory!"

"Two to zero!"

"A wonderful assist from Di Maria on the left, and Cavani beat Puyol with a header from the middle."

"It's still a quick counter-attack from Napoli after stealing the ball, playing very sharply."

"Barcelona's defensive reaction was quick, but it still couldn't stop Napoli's lightning counterattack."

"It's still the wing of the three backs, and it's still playing behind Alves."

"In the second half, after Barcelona's changes and adjustments, Napoli's counterattacks were almost all playing on the flanks."

"Barcelona's situation is very difficult now. The attack in front has been slow to open the situation, but the loopholes behind it have been broken again and again."

"Two to zero, about half an hour left in the game, Barcelona must hurry up."

…………

…………

The live TV footage cuts to the sidelines.

On the one hand, Gao Shen was obviously excited, and everyone jumped up to celebrate, looking even more excited than Cavani who scored.

But on the side of losing the ball, Guardiola looked helpless, frowning, standing on the sidelines, giving people a feeling of powerlessness, no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Two to zero!

After the change, Barcelona had more ball possession, but the overall performance was no different from the first half.

"It was a big blow to Barcelona, ​​especially Guardiola."

In the stands, many Italian football people also sat in the stands. Lippi, Ulivieri, Capello, Ancelotti and others all gathered together. They watched the game together and analyzed together. and discussion.

Lippi shook his head and sighed after seeing Cavani scored, obviously pessimistic about Barcelona's situation.

"Guardiola is still too young, it's not unacceptable to change midfielders, but suddenly changing to three, four, three, it's a bit too big, no matter what he thinks in his heart, but in this high-intensity confrontation , such a subversive adjustment can easily lead to not affecting the opponent, but to crippling himself first."

Lippi's analysis has also been affirmed by everyone.

Silver Fox Lippi's eyesight is still very good.

"The first half was restrained too much. The entire tactical discipline of Napoli, as well as the players' movement without the ball, were very good." Ulivieri also analyzed, "I heard that starting from the elimination of Manchester United, To the Champions League final, Gao Shen focused on team pressing and running without the ball every day."

"Guardiola probably also saw that in the first half, he could not score and create threats, so he wanted to adjust and strengthen the team's wing attack, but who would have thought..."

After a pause, Ulivieri glanced sideways at Capello, who was sitting upright, and said, "This game reminds me of the battle at the Olympic Stadium in Athens."

When he heard this sentence, Capello reacted and looked at Ulivieri.

The latter smiled lightly, "Maybe, the score is likely to be repeated! It has been many years since I scored more than four goals in the Champions League final!"

From 1993 to 1994, at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, a classic matchup in the history of the Champions League final was born.

Capello led his AC Milan to meet Cruyff's Barcelona in the final.

It was a fantastic season.

At that time, Capello was coaching AC Milan, and he stumbled in the group stage. In the competition for the first place in the group, he defeated Porto coached by Bobby Robson with a slight advantage. There was a translator in that Porto team. The name is Jose Mourinho.

In the other group, Cruyff's Barcelona was on a tear, setting off an offensive storm in the group stage, repeatedly overcoming strong enemies, especially Monaco, who double-killed Ligue 1, advanced to the semi-finals with the first place in the group.

At that time, the coach of Monaco was also a famous coach, his name was Arsene Wenger.

In the early 1990s, the Champions League had just been restructured. There were not many participating teams. Only champion teams from various countries could participate. The competition system was still in the stage of repeated adjustment and experimentation, and it was constantly changing. However, the overall policy was to introduce group matches and increase the number of matches.

In the 1993-1994 season, the UEFA Champions League system is that 32 teams will play two double-round knockout rounds first, and the remaining eight teams will be divided into two groups for the group stage, and the top two teams in the group will directly advance to the semi-finals.

The semi-final is a two-leg knockout match between the first of the group and the second of the other group.

It can be seen that by this season, the competition system of the Champions League has basically taken shape.

Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona at the time, was still young and much more arrogant than he is now. Coupled with the excellent performance of the team, he was very high-profile before the final. When he inspected the final venue, he said that the real AC Milan is Sacramento. Base's AC Milan, which owns the Dutch Three Musketeers, Capello only likes to use defensive players like Desailly.

"We will be the winners, there is no doubt that we are more competitive and more comprehensive, they can only rely on defense, and we rely on gorgeous offense."

This is Cruyff's original words.

A month before the final, Barcelona had won six games in a row, scoring 20 goals and conceding three. It was unstoppable.

But who would have thought that in that final, Cruyff scored 91 goals throughout the season, consisting of Romario, Stoichkov and Begiristan (now the technical director of Barcelona). The trident turned out to be misfired across the board.

The defensive formation composed of Guardiola, Koeman and others was smashed into a sieve by AC Milan's sharp counterattack.

Four to zero, Capello created a classic matchup in the history of the Champions League final!

...

Even though it has been fifteen years, for Lippi, Ulivieri, especially Capello and other old people, everything that happened seems to be still vivid in their minds.

Although they are all gone, and although they can no longer shine on the stage of the Champions League, they have left their own footprints and witnessed the emergence of latecomers.

Ulivieri said that this season's Naples against Guardiola's Barcelona is very similar to the matchup fifteen years ago. It is not for no reason, because when he first debuted, he was named Capello II. Guardiola is Cruyff's direct disciple.

If it was someone else, I would be very happy to hear Ulivieri's words, but Capello still had a cold expression on his face, "He is completely different from me."

After hearing this, Ulivieri laughed, "That's right, he's not as conservative as you are."

Capello frowned.

He didn't want to hear that.

Am I conservative?

Lippi next to him was also happy, "After tonight, the number of Champions League champions is more than you."

The expression on Capello's face suddenly twitched.

I... Champions League... he... hasn't won the second place yet?

Talk shit!

Ancelotti, who was sitting on the side, even laughed and came to make up for the knife, "The key is that they are younger than you and more handsome than you!"

Capello was just stupid.

Holy crap, are you all targeting me on purpose?

Said, what benefit did Gao Shen give you to make you kneel and lick so shamelessly?

I despise you!

Pooh!
