Chapter 228 It's different from my pre-match arrangement!
At the pre-match press conference, Zaragoza coach Popovich and Zheng Long attended together.
"Mr. Ranko, at the beginning of the league. Zaragoza played against Barcelona and lost. In the last round of the Copa del Rey, you drew Barcelona away in the first leg. This round, at your home court, you won Zaragoza Can you beat Barcelona?"
Facing Barcelona, who can guarantee a steady win?
If the big talk is released, if it loses in the end, it will not become a joke of the media and fans.
Of course, it is necessary to flatter the opponent!
Ranko Popovich said with a smile. "I'm glad you think we can win! In my opinion, Barcelona is one of the best teams today. They have world-class players such as Messi and Iniesta. The strength is very strong. La Liga can hold the top of the league now. Know this!"
After touting Barcelona, Popovich changed his mind and continued.
"Us? We are just challengers! Although Barcelona is very strong, we have no way out now. We can only fight for victory. In fact, this is the only way we can go!"
"Barcelona are strong, but we have the interceptor Zheng Long. In my opinion he is the best goalkeeper in the world! With him, we have the confidence to beat any team."
"The ball is round! Although we are challengers, we are not completely without chance!"
"I just hope my players take their chances in this game!"
"In fact, we still have some advantages!"
"Home? No no! I mean we're not afraid of extra time, or even penalty shootouts!"
When it was Zheng Long's turn.
The reporter stood up and asked. "Mr. Zheng, you are now the most important player in Zaragoza. Facing Barcelona, do you think you can keep a clean sheet in this match?"
Zheng Long replied with a smile:
"Of course I hope to keep a clean sheet and help the team win!"
"But the game is not until the last moment, you never know what will happen! So let's wait until the game is over to discuss this issue!"
"As our coach said, we have no way out in this game, we can only work together as a team to win!"
……
This time Barcelona coach Enrique also brought Messi to the press conference.
At the press conference, Enrique also praised Zaragoza and Zheng Long.
But back in the locker room, Enrique changed his face.
He folded his hands in the locker room and shouted.
"Guys, it's going to be a tough fight today. The opponent won't give us the win easily, you have to work hard! But let me be clear! Hard work isn't enough. The fans are proud of you, but they won't accept you Lose. Because they only remember one thing. That's not how we play. Champions! That's everything! Got it?"
"understood!"
Enrique inspected the players present, stretched out his hand and shouted. "One two three! Barcelona!"
All the Barcelona players gathered together, carried Enrique on the palm and shouted.
"Barcelona!"
In Zaragoza's dressing room, Ranko Popovich looks at his players with his hands on his hips.
"The opponent is strong, but we are also strong."
"If we win this game, we will be able to advance to the finals and be eligible to fight for the championship. If we lose, all our efforts this season will be in vain!"
"Victory or failure depends on today's game!"
"This is our home court, our turf. Can you watch your opponent play wild on our turf?"
Players including Zheng Long shouted in unison.
"cannot!"
Popovich yelled. "What do we want?"
"victory!"
"Yes! Victory. Fight for victory at all costs! We lost the first game, and we tied the opponent in the second game. In this game, keep the victory and let the opponent go home bitterly!"
Popovich held out his hand and yelled, "One two three! Zaragoza!"
"Zaragoza!"
With Popovich clapping his hands, Zaragoza's players filed out and ran to the court.
Seeing the players of the two teams rushing out of the player channel, Morrow, who was in charge of the live broadcast commentary, shouted in his own loud voice.
"Everyone, you can see now. The players of the two teams have come out of the player channel!"
"Different from the previous two games, the starting lineup of the home team Zaragoza has made a small change!"
"The goalkeeper is still the cornerstone of Zaragoza, No. 1 Zheng Long!"
"Defenders: No. 17 J. Fernandez, No. 4 Cabrera, No. 31 Jesús Vallejo, No. 26 Jibril Sidibe:"
"Midfielder: No. 21 Gallareta, No. 23 Alamo. Left midfielder; Nani, front midfielder: No. 15 Pedro, and the right midfielder was replaced by the teenager Costa!"
"It seems that Popovich wants to use the impact of the young teenager Costa to attack Barcelona's defense!"
"Whether this change will work for him. The next game will be verified!"
"Forward; William Jose!"
"Unlike the adjustments made by Zaragoza, Barcelona's starting lineup has not changed from the previous game, and it is still a 433 formation."
"The goalkeeper is No. 1 goalkeeper Ter Stegen;"
"The defenders are lined up from left to right. No. 18 Alba, No. 3 Pique, No. 14 Mascherano, No. 6 Alves;"
"Midfielders: No. 5 Busquets; No. 4 Ivan Rakitic; No. 8 Iniesta;"
"Forwards: No. 10 Messi; No. 11 Neymar; No. 9 Suarez."
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.
Zaragoza gets the right to choose sides and Barcelona gets the kick-off.
Messi kicked the ball to Suarez, Suarez returned the ball immediately, opened the formation and created room for movement.
Standing on the sidelines, Popovich folded his hands and looked at the court nervously.
You must hold on to the first half!
Only in the second half can the winner be released!
In the 4th minute of the first half, Iniesta wanted to use his good fried meatballs to pass Gallareta.It's a pity that he didn't control the ball well in the last kick and kicked the ball far away. Galareta grabbed his position and controlled the ball.
Iniesta wanted to fight back immediately, and Galareta gave the ball to Costa on the wing.
After receiving the ball, Costa immediately dribbled the ball forward.
In this game, Popovich hopes to use the impact of the teenager Costa to hit Barcelona's right wing and consume their energy.
Wait until the second half, and then put on the energetic Joaquin.
The young generals have no experience, but they have the drive that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
This drive is half angel and half hell.
Just like the war between England and Argentina in 98.
Beckham assisted the young Owen who turned out to score a wonderful long-distance attack goal.
But then he impulsively fouled England's advantage.
Finally lost in the penalty shootout!
The young generals are a group of people who shine brightly when given a little sunshine.
Drive the ball past the center circle.
Seeing Rakitic coming up, Costa decided to break through the opponent as soon as he gritted his teeth.
He came up on his bike, right in front of Rakitic, changed direction suddenly, and accelerated.
Using his powerful explosive power, Costa just threw off his opponent.
Seeing that Costa easily got rid of Rakitic's defense, Busquets quickly ran over from the side, and Alves also hurried forward to flank.
Zaragoza's players saw that Costa was over halftime, and several frontcourt players quickly followed up to meet the opponent.
On the right side outside the penalty area, Alves wanted to get stuck in the main position and not give Costa a chance to hit the penalty area.
But just when he was about to get close to Costa, Costa poked the ball to the left, and then rushed to the right.
The ball is divided!
Alves did not expect that the other party would dare to do such a thing.
Not only Alves, but even the entire Barcelona team did not expect Zaragoza to dare to attack at the beginning.
In their minds, Zaragoza should be the same as the previous game, focusing on defense and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
For a while, the defenseless Barcelona was caught off guard.
Now the front line is still a bit chaotic. If Costa is allowed to rush into the penalty area, it will be dangerous.
Seeing that Costa was about to rush forward, he caught up with the football again, and then dribbled the ball towards the small penalty area!
In a hurry, Alves reached out and grabbed Costa's clothes.
As soon as he pulled, Costa immediately fell down and rolled twice.
The referee saw clearly, and the whistle sounded immediately.
Point to the penalty spot!
penalty!
Seeing the scene in front of him, the audience fell into silence.
Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, was even more stunned.
This……
This……
It's different from my pre-match tactical arrangement!
