Kapitel 73: Chapter 275 The last championship of the five major leagues, the Champions League!
At Wembley Stadium, the first half of the game is over.
Manchester City temporarily leads Hull City 3:0.
The third goal came in the 37th minute of the first half. Yaya Toure's long shot helped the team further expand the score.
During the halftime break, every Manchester City player returned to the locker room talking and laughing. The team's lead was too big, and the opponent's strength was far inferior to them.
As long as they don't pop the champagne at halftime, this game will probably be won.
"Have you received the notice for the national team's training camp?"
Because the World Cup is approaching, more and more topics among the players in the locker room have begun to be related to the World Cup.
"I got it, there shouldn't be anyone in our team who didn't receive it, right?"
"Haha, the main players should all have been called up by the national team, but it's hard to say about the substitutes. Like some of the favorites, their national teams are not so easy to get into!"
There are many Spanish players in the Manchester City team, and there are too many big-name stars in Spain.
This makes it extremely difficult to enter the final 23 list. Players like Xavi Garcia, Negredo, Navas, etc. may all fail to be selected.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about it. Which national team do you think will win the championship?"
Captain Kompany felt the disappointment of those players who were not selected, so he quickly changed the topic and started talking about a topic that everyone was interested in.
"Haha, I'm optimistic about the Three Lions!"
As a British man, Milner undoubtedly chose to support his motherland.
"Forget it about the British team. This configuration looks like a second-rate team!"
Other teammates expressed disdain for Milner's words, and the British team's 23-man squad has been announced.
Compared with top teams like Spain, many of the international players selected for the British national team come from ordinary teams in the Premier League. The players' worth alone is incomparable to that of the Matador Legion.
"How about Germany? I feel that Germany is quite strong this year!"
It was not Kroos who spoke. He has always been quiet in the locker room.
"It's quite strong, the lineup is relatively young, and the German team's signings are also good. If nothing else happens, we should be able to enter the semi-finals. It's hard to predict the championship, it depends on luck!"
"Haha, has everyone forgotten the European red devil Belgium? Belgium is our first-level team in Europe!"
"Haha, Belgium has a good lineup, but forget about the first gear, who takes it seriously!"
Of the eight seeded teams in the 2014 World Cup, four are from Europe and four are from South America.
The four seeded teams in South America are worthy of their name, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia. These are indeed the four strongest teams.
But whether the four teams in Europe are worthy of being in the first tier is a matter of opinion.
Naturally, everyone has no objection to Spain and Germany being ranked first in Europe. One of these two teams was the champion of the last year, and the other was the semi-finals of the last year. Their records in recent years are obvious to all, and they are the winners of this World Cup. Big hit.
But for the other two teams-Belgium and Switzerland, everyone has very different opinions.
The French team and Italy were classified into the third or even fourth tier, which made people sneer at this rating of this World Cup.
Do you dare to say that Belgium and Switzerland can beat France and Italy?
Belgium's lineup is not weak. They have stars such as Courtois, Kompany, De Bruyne, Fellaini, Dembele, Hazard and Lukaku.
But these people are too young, and if you hope to rely on them to make a fortune, you may have to wait a little longer.
What's more, they have no championships in their team history. They didn't even pass the qualifying rounds of the last World Cup in South Africa, and they are far inferior to champion teams such as Italy and France in terms of heritage.
"The South American teams are quite strong this year, and since it's their home court, they might take away the championship!"
After evaluating the strong teams in Europe, everyone also evaluated the four South American teams.
Throughout the entire discussion, there was one team that was clearly the elephant in the room, but was ignored by everyone intentionally or unintentionally, and was never mentioned throughout the process.
Lin Quan listened to everyone's discussion and felt a little funny in his heart.
Just don't talk about Spain, right?
It seems that the strength of Spain in recent years has left a very deep ideological imprint on everyone, making them subconsciously develop Hispanophobia.
The fifteen-minute intermission ended quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half.
Pellegrini did not make any adjustments to the technical and tactical play during the halftime break. He just told the players to pay attention to their actions on the field to avoid injuries.
A week later they are going to Lisbon's Stadium of Light to compete with Atletico Madrid for the Champions League title. They must not get injured at this time, as injuries may lead to lifelong regrets.
The situation of the game was similar to that of the first half. Manchester City firmly held the initiative on the field and slowly strangled their opponents like boiling frogs in warm water.
Hull City played extremely passively. Their offense was ineffective and they were easily counterattacked by the opponent.
The defense was a little exhausted and couldn't keep up with Manchester City's extremely fast pace of play.
This kind of competition makes them feel desperate and suffocated.
At Camp Nou, Barcelona fans were also suffocated.
In the 49th minute, Atletico Madrid tenaciously equalized the score, leaving the Barcelona people with a smile that only lasted for more than 30 minutes.
The score was equalized, which meant that the three points and the championship trophy obtained by Barcelona were all going to fly away!
The moment the goal was scored, Camp Nou was completely silent. The faces of Barcelona fans were full of shock and dismay, and it was obviously difficult to accept such an ending.
On the sidelines, Martino was completely panicked.
He hurriedly made consecutive substitutions in a short period of time in an attempt to re-establish the lead.
But Simeone's Atletico Madrid was like a wall of sighs, stubbornly blocking their way, causing their heads to bleed, but they never got what they wanted.
Messi also seemed a little anxious. He rarely took on defensive tasks and even received a yellow card for a foul during a scramble.
Messi's reactivation gives Barcelona fans at Camp Nou hope.
This is a player who has created countless miracles. They believe in Messi unconditionally and firmly believe that he can lead the team to victory!
"Messi!"
"Messi!"
Barcelona fans chanted Messi's name in unison, seeming to pour all their hopes into Messi.
Messi felt great pressure. He played very actively, passing, catching, running and breaking through in the frontcourt without any effort.
But Atletico Madrid's defense is too strong, even stronger than Messi, and they can only fail again and again.
The game time is running out bit by bit, and the situation on the field is still not good for Barcelona.
They attacked anxiously, but could not open up the situation. Instead, their opponents used counterattacks to launch several extremely threatening attacks.
For this reason, defensive players such as Pique, Busquets, and Mascherano had to use tactical fouls to stop the opponent.
And they also received the punishment they deserved, and the referee showed the camera a yellow card.
In the 77th minute, Martino took a look at the bench and made the last substitution adjustment of the game.
He brought on 34-year-old veteran Xavi and replaced Fabregas.
Xiaofa walked off the court dejectedly, seeming to have forgotten even high-fiving Xavi.
He originally chose to obey the call of Barcelona and return to Barcelona to fight for the Red and Blues, not only because he has the blood of La Masia flowing in his body, but also because the Barcelona team back then was powerful and dominated Europe.
He was the captain of Arsenal, but Arsenal had no championship every year and saw no big moves in terms of signings. This made Fabregas feel that there was no future for him to continue staying at Arsenal.
When he chose to join Barcelona, Barcelona won the Champions League twice in three years and was once called the Cosmos team. His career prospects were many times ahead of Arsenal!
However, the good times did not last long. Not long after he arrived, the club suffered from turmoil caused by high-level changes, and the meritorious coach Guardiola left.
After Guardiola left, Vilanova was originally a very suitable successor, but something unexpected happened and the latter had to step down as point coach because of cancer.
In three years, Barcelona has had three head coaches.
The team's record was naturally greatly affected. In three years, he only helped the team win one league championship and one King's Cup championship. This record is far behind what it was a few years ago.
This Barcelona team is exactly the same as the Arsenal team he chose to leave, so desperate that he can't see hope.
Should he still stay at Barcelona and fight for the Red and Blues?
The belief in Xiaofa's heart began to waver. The strong impulse to fight for Barcelona had been smoothed away by the years.
He looked back at his teammates on the field and at the familiar Camp Nou stadium.
Fabregas made a decision at this moment: he will leave Barcelona after the World Cup!
Xavi and other Barcelona players did not know the decision Fabregas had just made. After he came on the court, he focused all his energy on offense.
As a 34-year-old veteran, Xavi is very clear that his days in Barcelona have entered the countdown.
Before leaving, he hopes to win more honors for the team.
Moreover, this is Camp Nou, and every Barcelona native must defend the dignity of Camp Nou to the death!
He will never allow Atletico Madrid to win the trophy at Camp Nou!
Harvey's physical strength was not enough to sustain him for the entire game, but he was substituted in the 77th minute and only had to cope with less than 30 minutes of the game. For Harvey, physical strength was not a problem at all.
The appearance of their old partner made Iniesta and Messi relieved.
With Xavi here, they can play more comfortably.
Affected by this, Barcelona gradually improved in offense, and their offense became more and more threatening to Atletico Madrid's goal.
On the long side, Simone narrowed his eyes slightly.
As a coach with a defensive midfielder background, he admires Harvey very much.
It is commendable to still have such a performance at this age, and he has played for the same team throughout his entire career. This one-man-one-city spirit also admires him very much.
However, this is a professional arena, a decisive battle to determine the La Liga championship.
No matter how much he admired Harvey, he could never be merciful.
Thinking of this, Simeone quickly made personnel adjustments and specially arranged people to mark and restrict Xavi.
This adjustment quickly achieved results. After Boyd came on the court, he didn't have to do anything. He just acted as a candy and stuck to Harvey.
Harvey is getting older, and his physical confrontation ability and ability to escape from defense have declined.
Under Boyd's interference, it became increasingly difficult for Harvey to perform.
Without Xavi as the card dealer, Barcelona's offense, which had finally improved somewhat, was extinguished again.
In the end, the game ended, and Barcelona, playing at home, was reversed by Atletico Madrid and handed over the championship trophy to the opponent.
At the moment the whistle ended, the Atletico Madrid fans cheered wildly at the Camp Nou.
This is their first league championship in 18 years, and coincidentally, the person who helped Atletico Madrid win the cup again after 19 years happened to be Simeone standing on the sidelines.
Simeone, this young football coach who has just started taking up the coaching job, has proven his coaching ability at Atletico Madrid.
It is from this moment that La Liga will change from a two-power competition for hegemony in the Spanish Super League to a tripartite confrontation between Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
And his Atletico Madrid has also gradually emerged as a top team in the five major leagues that people dare not ignore.
Now, there is only the last game left before them - the Champions League final!
If Simeone's Atletico Madrid can win this game, then they will become legends in Europe!
…
Almost at the same time as the Camp Nou whistle sounded, the midfield whistle at Wembley Stadium also blew.
The score number on the big screen was fixed at 6:0!
There is no doubt that this is a carnage, and a carnage in the final.
It was the largest final margin in FA Cup history, equaling the record set by Burley against Derby County in 1902-03.
In that game, Derby County also defeated its opponent with a score of 6:0.
Looking at this desperate score, every Hull City player was dejected. They had tried almost all their efforts, but they all failed.
This score is a true portrayal of the strength of both sides, and they are convinced that they lost.
As for the Manchester City players, at the moment the midfield whistle ended, they rushed to the court and cheered and celebrated together.
This is the third trophy they have won in the Premier League this season, and its gold content is second only to the league championship trophy.
The Wembley stands turned into a blue ocean, and Queen's song "We Are the Champions" resounded through the sky.
The awards stage was quickly set up, and officials from the Football Association and Prince William of the British royal family came to the scene in person to present medals and trophies to the winning Manchester City players.
"Lin, your performance is great, I am your fan!"
When giving Lin Quan the award, Prince William smiled and said to him.
"Thank you for your compliment. Since you are my fan, I will give you an autograph!"
"Oh? Okay, but I didn't bring any paper or pen!"
Before Prince William finished speaking, he saw Lin Quan take the game ball that he had used to score a hat trick, signed his name on it, and then handed it to him.
"I wonder if His Highness the Prince is satisfied with this signature?"
Prince William was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course I am satisfied, thank you, Lin. I would like to treat you to a meal when I have the opportunity. I hope you will not refuse!"
Lin Quan scored a hat trick in the final, and he can take away this football.
However, he gave the ball to Prince William, which made the latter feel the weight of the gift.
Lin Quan would naturally not refuse Prince William's overtures.
Because they have already won three championships, Manchester City's players celebrated more restrainedly.
Their thoughts have all flown to the Champions League trophy!
Only when they get that trophy is it worthy of their real celebration!
