Red Rebels

This season's Premier League and La Liga championships are in a fierce state. There are 4 teams in the Premier League that have the possibility of winning the championship, including Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea who won the championship by fluke in the end. Manchester United and Chelsea started in the last few rounds. Unable to bear the pressure, they gradually fell behind, but the battle with Arsenal reached the final round, and both sides can be said to have exhausted their last sliver of strength.

The same is true for La Liga. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Deportivo and Valencia all have the possibility of winning the championship. The competition for the championship among these four teams is also very fierce. The strength is steadily rising, although the defense is not very stable, but at least it is more stable than last season, but they met Barcelona led by Ronaldinho and Varen led by Benitez. West Asia.

In the final round of La Liga, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Valencia all have the possibility of winning the championship. The gap between the two sides is within one game, which makes the La Liga championship competition very fierce.

But among these three teams, Barcelona needs to be distracted from the UEFA Cup, and Real Madrid needs to be distracted from the Champions League final. The former is on May 19, the latter is on May 26, and on May 16 and May 23 are La Liga. Dates for the last two rounds of the match.

The last round of the league ended on May 15th, which happened to be one day longer than Barcelona, ​​and there was no game burden. However, Barcelona’s opponents on the 16th and 23rd were Racing Santander and Zaragoza. A host and a guest are very difficult games to play. In the first round, Racing Santander defeated Barcelona 3-0 at home.

Against Racing Santander at home, Barcelona played very difficult throughout the game, in which Puyol received a red card and was sent off in the 67th minute. Fortunately, at the end, they relied on Ronaldinho's genius Flash, scored a goal and helped the team beat Racing Santander 1-0.

It is precisely because of this that in this UEFA Cup final, although Barcelona also sent many main players to play, the players looked tired and not very excited, especially when they scored against Racing Santander. Ronaldinho with the winning goal.

Mourinho has been in Barcelona for many years and is familiar with Barcelona's tactical system. In addition, he has studied a lot of Barcelona's videos before the game. At the same time, he also let Boyas focus on tracking several Barcelona games. Take the initiative to attack in the game and take the initiative from the beginning.

The current Barcelona play is not to control the ball, they rely more on the three midfielder tactics to play simple and simple defensive counterattacks.

Davis is considered to be the most successful winter break signing in Barcelona's history. It is the interception ability of the midfielder.

Before Davis came, Barcelona relied on Cocu, Motta and Harvey in the midfield. These three players are not Davis's type of players. Although they can do dirty work, they are at least not as good as Davis. It's so smooth, and it can be imagined that players like Harvey are required to do Makelele's dirty work, and the effect can be imagined.

After Davis came to Barcelona, ​​he took on the responsibility of intercepting the midfielder and liberated Harvey and Cocu, especially Harvey. With Davis by his side, he can devote himself to organizing and distributing the ball with more peace of mind.

Harvey has been liberated, and Ronaldinho in the frontcourt has also been liberated. He can be closer to the forward line instead of retreating as before, which maximizes his offensive and scoring capabilities. show.

It can be said that once Davis arrived, Barcelona's defense has been greatly improved, and at the same time, their offensive ability has also been greatly improved. The first to bear the brunt is Ronaldinho, Saviola and Hleb. The Trident's offensive power in the second half did not lose to the star-studded Real Madrid.

But this does not mean that Barcelona's lineup is very balanced. On the contrary, their defense still has big problems, especially on the two wings, and once they cut off the connection between Xavi, Ronaldinho and Hleb connection between

Then Barcelona's offense will not be able to play.

It is precisely for this point that Mourinho's frontcourt magic quartet was required to aggressively attack in this game, and the midfielder and defense line pressed forward to compress Barcelona's possession of the ball in the midfield area.

Judging from the progress of the game, Mourinho's tactics were still very successful in limiting Barcelona.

Only Harvey’s organization and defense in the midfield, Barcelona failed to give too much threat on offense, Ronaldinho’s personal ability is very good, but the state of helplessness is relatively sluggish, Hleb is active against his old club Unfortunately, I ran into Evra who is very familiar with him. After a season of Premier League experience, the latter has improved a lot in defense, especially in his understanding of the defensive system. Austrian defensive philosophy.

Judging from the situation in the first half, Barcelona's attack made Barcelona suffer. Neither Puyol nor Max are the kind of players who are good at defending against high-altitude balls. Mourinho specifically aimed at this point and let Drogba The super monsters on the front line were rampant and attacked Barcelona's defense.

To say that Drogba's performance in the Premier League this season is definitely amazing. He scored 18 goals in the league. The latter is more prominent. The most obvious point is that Drogba's impact in the frontcourt is not what Villa possesses.

Drogba cut the gap at the front, and Palacio, Kaka, and Robben at the back seemed like sharks smelling blood, and kept drilling into the gap in Barcelona's defense.

Give full play to the advantages of Beckham's long pass depth, avoid the area covered by Davis, directly find Drogba, and then use him as a bridgehead, almost hitting one by one.

Coupled with the limited space in the frontcourt, Rijkaard had to let the ball adjust in his backcourt, while the oppression and aggression in the frontcourt caused Barcelona to suffer. Among them, Max made an inverse error. After being intercepted by Kaka who suddenly jumped up, he went straight behind him, and Palacio attacked like a wind, without stopping the ball, went straight, passed the attacking goalkeeper Valdez, and scored an empty goal, 1:0!

After tasting the sweetness, they continued to repeat the same tricks, while Barcelona struggled to support them. Several times they were in danger, and they were almost seized again. Barcelona's defense line seemed to be crumbling.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Rijkaard took the lead in making adjustments, replacing Ronaldinho, who had a sluggish performance throughout the game. In the middle, his defense has always restricted his performance, and his physical fitness does have some problems, so his performance in this game is very tragic.

Rijkaard replaced Ronaldinho and replaced midfielder Motta. Obviously, he hoped that Motta could further consolidate Barcelona's defense and resist the offensive.

However, among the four attacking players in the audience, except Drogba, who was the bridgehead, was fixed. The first is their strong pressing and pressing in the frontcourt.

If you use Xiao Yu's previous life memory, combined with the current situation on the court, Davis is not Busquets, Cocu is not Iniesta, and Xavi is far from Xavi a few years later. In addition, Barcelona is still far from the adjustment of the rear organization. The current organization relies more on Harvey, which makes them make frequent mistakes in the backcourt.

In the 76th minute, Beckham made a sudden grab, cut off the ball from Harvey's feet and passed it straight to Drogba. Kaka suddenly started and flew between Puyol and Max. It came to his feet just right.

At this moment, Kaka's men were almost glued to the ball, and the speed was very fast. Even though Van Bronthorst tried his best to chase back, he still couldn't catch up with Kaka who stepped on the accelerator.

With a low shot near the penalty spot, Valdes failed to prevent Kaka's shot into the net, 2:0!

The fans who followed the team to Sweden couldn't be more excited, especially the strong control shown by the team in this game, which almost made Barcelona lose their temper.

Although the Barcelona lineup has a super genius like Ronaldinho and Saviola at the same time, these two heroes of Barcelona's rise in the second half of the game were restricted by the tactics of the game. Austria did nothing in the audience, and Saviola frequently fell into the offside trap.

The old player Hleb worked very hard, desperately trying to show himself in front of his old club, but he still failed to prove anything. In front of Mourinho's team who knew him well, he was restricted to death.

However, his performance in La Liga this season is very good. He put Overmars on the bench and is one of Barcelona's best players this season.

The fans in the stands sang loud and clear team songs, and the team they supported had an absolute advantage on the field.

"This game is a bit like the UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of the season. The game against AC Milan was like the current Barcelona. They were beaten by AC Milan without temper, and the whole game was dragged by AC Milan. , but one season has passed, they defeated AC Milan in two rounds, and avenged their original revenge, and facing the super giants of La Liga, Barcelona, ​​they even showed super control over the game!"

Andy Gray had to praise the progress made this season while explaining.

At the beginning of the season, some people suspected that the exchange of Juninho for Beckham was for hype and commercial needs, but after a season of running-in, Beckham became the most outstanding and stable player this season. He is the absolute core of the waist.

"This is a team that is improving and developing rapidly. I believe that next year, this team will continue to bring us great surprises. They can be said to be the biggest discovery in European football in the past two years. !"

While Andy Gray expressed his appreciation, the game against Barcelona continued.

He controlled the situation and rhythm, took advantage of the small-scale confrontation on the court, and then formed an overall advantage. Later, even if Rijkaard replaced Iniesta, he still failed to change the situation on the court.

When the Italian bald referee Collina blew the whistle for the end of the game, the players and fans were completely excited. They defeated the proud Barcelona 2-0 in this Ulivi Stadium and successfully defended the title. UEFA Cup!

Corina has also gained a lot of rewards. This is his very memorable enforcement. He has enforced 92 international games, covering five continents, and this UEFA Cup final will allow him to achieve refereeing. World Grand Slam.

Unlike Collina's red card in the Valencia-Marseille match that caused controversy in the previous life, in this UEFA Cup final, Collina's entire law enforcement was very fair and there were no major mistakes. Adhering to his signature of law enforcement as a gold medal referee.

After the game, Beckham hugged Collina tightly before celebrating the championship with the team.

This is the second championship of the season!
