Chapter 195 Strong Enemy, Barcelona
If there is a club in the football world that can compete with Real Madrid in terms of historical status, it must be its league rival, Barcelona.
As one of the most influential and successful clubs.
The four characters of Barcelona are a golden signboard, and no one will refuse the invitation of this club.
Of course, such a high historical status and such a strong appeal to players are entirely due to Barcelona's heritage.
23 La Liga titles are enough to prove the strength of this club.
The Dream One, which was once popular in Europe, made them dominate the La Liga. After eight years of silence, the Dream Two Dynasty followed closely. Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Giuly, Larsson and other well-known players joined, which made this team have the ability to dominate, winning two league titles and one Champions League title.
The Dream II collapsed with the departure of the core Ronaldinho, and the Dream III era was seamlessly connected. With the peak of the midfield, Guardiola, the head coach, started a tactical revolution of passing and controlling football in the football world. The presence of top players such as Messi, Pedro, Pique, Villa, Alves, Mascherano, Alba, etc., allowed them to sweep across Europe and achieve the unprecedented feat of six championships.
Mourinho moved into Real Madrid. When he was 11 points behind Barcelona at the halfway point, he finally won the championship in the second half of the league, ending Barcelona's Dream III domination.
With Xavi's retirement, Xiaobai's aging and the departure of a group of veterans, the Dream III era gradually ended. The young Messi took up the banner of Barcelona. In the post-Dream III era, he joined hands with Neymar and Suarez to form the world's strongest trident of MSN, and continued to conquer Europe with firepower, and performed equally strongly.
In recent years, with the retirement of Xiaobai, the aging of Busquets, the slow renewal of the defense line, and the various operations of the management, the team's strength has been greatly reduced after the various operations of being treated as a fool in the transfer negotiations.
Even so, the existence of Messi makes Barcelona still have the confidence to win the Champions League.
7 Golden Ball Awards and 6 World Footballer of the Year hard honors are there, which is the best interpretation of his personal strength. It is no wonder that Wang Po is excited and can't sleep to be able to compete with such a superstar.
God knows, there are many people in the world who are crazy fans of Messi.
This season's Barcelona team is not having a good time. First of all, during the transfer window period, N, one of MSN, was transferred to Paris Saint-Germain by Paris Saint-Germain at a record transfer fee of 220 million euros.
Such a huge investment is shocking. What is not short of money? This is not short of money.
Even if Barcelona wants to stay, they will directly hit the penalty fee, and you have no temper at all.
After losing Neymar, Barcelona has been suppressed by Real Madrid in the league this season, and has been left far behind in the standings. It is basically impossible for them to win the championship. Now that the team has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, the club has put all its energy into the European war.
For a super club like Barcelona, it is unacceptable to fail to win any prize.
The Champions League is the only arena where they have a chance to win the championship. In this game, even Dortmund, which is considered to be the "gift package" team in the semi-finals, still played its main force.
To be able to enter the semi-finals, that team is not a soft persimmon.
You know, Dortmund has eliminated Juventus and Atletico Madrid, Barcelona's victim in recent years, all the way to the finals. Which of these two teams is a mediocre one?
In the first round of the semi-finals, Dortmund will go to Camp Nou.
Before the game, some Barcelona fans shouted on the Internet, let Wang Pei see how the most expensive person in the world plays football, he is still far from Barcelona's No. 10.
The strongest No. 10 on the football field told Wang Pei what kind of ability he should have if he wants to win the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer of the Year.
...
When talking about the ability of the idol, countless Messi fans have proud expressions on their faces.
It is undeniable that Barcelona is strong, and it is undeniable that Messi is strong.
But, on the court, Wang Pei is just chasing victory and is fearless.
The confrontation with Barcelona is also called the contest between 10 and 11 by the media.
There is no doubt that both Messi, No. 10 of Barcelona, and Wang Pei, No. 11 of Dortmund, are core-level figures of their respective teams.
They all have strong personal abilities and can rewrite the game on their own.
The existence of such bug-level players in the team will naturally attract attention.
Especially Messi, one of the two heroes of the contemporary era, a figure at the top of the football pyramid, is at the top in terms of ability, influence and commercial value.
And Wang Po's ability, potential, and future commercial value all have the potential to be at the top of the pyramid.
I believe no one will not be interested in such a duel.
Even Wang Po himself is eager to try, he can't wait to compete with the Barcelona No. 10. After all, Messi is now a benchmark in the industry. Only by comparing with him can you know how far you are from being a superstar.
"It is no exaggeration to say that if you can lead Borussia Dortmund to defeat Barcelona with a small gain, then your probability of winning the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or will be greatly increased. If you can finally lead the team to win the Champions League As for the championship, I can tell you that these two awards are certain.”
Hamburger said seriously.
Wang Po rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You don't have to say it. All fools know. Do you think it's really that easy to talk to you?"
The team also conducted a strength analysis and tactical style evaluation of the Barcelona team this season.
Although the pass-and-control tactics played by Barcelona are now on the verge of being replaced, the overall strength and personal abilities of the players are there. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Barcelona is still that good. A team that is the biggest favorite in the Champions League can still be on par with super clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich.
Want to cross this mountain? Easier said than done.
With Messi here, any team that wants to get past Barcelona will have to lose its skin even if it doesn't die.
For this semi-final, Tuchel and his coaching team studied the tactics very carefully and even offered to ask for help from Wang Po's personal team.
The atmosphere had already become tense and suffocating before the game even started.
This was the atmosphere before the war.
Promotion bonus of 5 million euros.
In order to motivate the team to win this game, Dortmund rarely paid an additional bonus for winning a single game.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, which also pushed this game to a climax.
