Chapter 145: Coward?
Barcelona's internal strife was exposed by the omnipotent British media, the Spanish media faced it silently, and the Italian media promoted the news. In order to crack down on Barcelona, their reporters also went to interview Barcelona. Of course, they would not receive any positive response.
The Italian media knew that it would be the result, and they didn't care about such an outcome. As long as this method can make Barcelona uncomfortable.
British media interviewed Milan on this issue.
"I feel sad about it, and we hope to compete with the powerful Barcelona."
British media believe that Maldini hides joy in his heart and says these words are insincere.
Tang Jue said: "This news is very likely true, because Milan puts them too much pressure. Under such strong pressure, timid people will not be able to control their emotions, and internal strife is very normal."
The Italian media believes that the timid person in Tang Jue's mouth is Ronaldio. Ronaldinho, who is in trouble, did not accept any media interviews to refute Tang Jue. Other Barcelona players did not say anything in front of the media. Only Rijcard said to the media: "He is not a timid person, he will prove himself at the Camp Nou."
The media reporter wanted to take the opportunity to learn about the British media reports. Whether it was true. Rijkaard avoided this topic and said to the media: "Barcelona is very united now, and we have no problems!"
Regarding the news of Barcelona's internal strife, Ancelotti said: "I don't believe this news. This may be a smoke bomb deliberately released by Barcelona. The purpose is to make us underestimate the enemy."
What Ancelotti said is very artistic. If Barcelona thinks that Ancelotti's statement is problematic, then they admit that there was an internal strife in Barcelona. If they do not respond, it means that what Ancelotti said is true and Barcelona is deliberately spreading false news.
For Barcelona, no matter how you answer, it is negative news for the club. Ancelotti, who has been in the martial arts world for a long time, stabbed a sword on Barcelona.
The Italian media happily took the sword in Ancelotti's hand and went to interview Barcelona. Barcelona finally responded silently. The Italian media made a big splash that Barcelona deliberately released the news of the holiday in order to win the second round of the game. This is not what a strong team should do. They have the style of a wealthy family!
As for whether Barcelona has internal strife or not, it has now completed the attack on Barcelona.
Modern football cannot be separated from media, and the media cannot be separated from football. They are interdependent. Through football, the media attracts more people to pay attention to them, thereby increasing sponsored advertisements, and football expands its influence through the media.
...
The media battles have begun before the game. For Milan, they use the media to attack Barcelona. This is just a way. The key is to defeat the opponent on the court, so Ancelotti has not relaxed the transformation of Milan's defense line.
In the game against Messina, Stam brought down the opponent's forward, and the responsibility was on the surface. In fact, the responsibility was not entirely on him. If someone had assisted in defense at the time, Stam would definitely not have committed a foul.
The problem of assisted defense has become a problem that Ancelotti must solve. During the training days, Ancelotti has constantly emphasized the assisted defense between the defenders.
After solving the internal strife of the team, Rijcard was busy solving the problem of defending Tang Jue. Puyol told Rijcard that night the results of the discussion in San Siro that, after careful consideration, Rijcard once again improved his defensive strategy against Tang Jue.
A large net was weaving in full swing. Just when the competition began, Tang Jue net was placed in the center of the net, making him unable to move.
The coaches of both sides are almost solving defensive problems at the same time. The reason is that both teams are quite sharp in offense. Both head coaches are quite confident in offense, and they both believe that their attack line is the most powerful in the world.
Of course, Ancelotti has other thoughts in it. If his attack line is contained by Barcelona at Camp Nou, he can only rely on his own defensive line. If Barcelona can be curbed, let the opponent not score a goal, or just let them score one goal, Milan will finally advance to the final.
This is Ancelotti's wishful thinking.
For Rijkaard, he believed that his attacking line would definitely break through Milan's defense line. Of course, this was not enough. If Tang Jue was not strictly guarded and allowed to score away goals, it would be a nightmare. Milan could even use many away goals to complete the hope of advancing to the finals.
...
The second leg is scheduled at 8:30 pm on April 26. The day before this game, the match between Arsenal and the yellow submarine Villarreal will be staged.
For this game, Arsenal came to Spain's Villarreal two days in advance. Wenger was very cautious when interviewing at the airport. He said to the media: "We will definitely use all our skills to face Villarreal."
The day after Arsenal arrived in Spain, Ancelotti led his team to Barcelona, Spain. For a time, Spain became the center of world football. Two games that decided to advance to the finals will be staged in this country soon.
Spanish media believe that Villarreal's hope for promotion is not high. Compared with Arsenal, they are weaker than the opponent in both offense and defense. Unless a miracle happens, Villarreal, who has entered the Champions League semi-finals for the first time, will stop in the semi-finals.
The Spanish media put all their hopes of advancing to the finals on Barcelona. Judging from the score, Barcelona's form is more steep than Villarreal, but their strength is stronger. This is where the Spanish media hope lies.
They expect Barcelona to have a beautiful counterattack at Camp Nou!
When Milan and his party came out at Barcelona International Airport, many media had already been waiting outside. Whether from the number of reporters or from the number of media, it was much more than Arsenal's arrival in Villarreal. In the two semi-finals, the strong dialogue between Milan and Barcelona was obviously more eye-catching.
Faced with the emotional media, Ancelotti and Maldini walked out of the team. This was arranged by the club long ago. The reason why Tang Jue was not allowed to accept media interviews was to protect him. In Italy, the club can stop the Spanish media from attacking, but in Spain they have no choice.
Tang Jue's "coward" undoubtedly angered the Spanish media and Barcelona, and Milan knew that it was time to protect his players in this way.
Ancelotti smiled and the reporters surrounded him. The reporter of Marca asked: "Mr. Ancelotti. How are you going to defend Barcelona's front trident? They broke the opponent's goal many times at Camp Nou."
The meaning of the reporter of Marca is very obvious. At Camp Nou, Barcelona is the king's army. Since this season, no one has been able to escape here. Barcelona's Trident has captured the opponent's city many times here.
Ancelotti said with a smile: "Barcelona's frontcourt trident is strong, but in the last game, they were particulate matter. I believe that my players will curb their performance."
Ancelotti always acted as a counterattack. He used the facts of the last game to speak loudly. Although he couldn't see the strong, he was soft and hard.
A reporter from the British Daily Mail asked: "Barcelona did not come forward to confirm the internal strife. What do you think about this?"
Ancelotti's lips curled slightly, and a look of contempt appeared, and she said lightly: "People who dare not face reality cannot be truly powerful."
A reporter from the team newspaper asked: "Do you think Barcelona's defense line can defend Tang's attack power?"
Of course, they were concerned about the players of their own country. Ancelotti's face changed and he smiled with a relaxed smile: "You should ask Mr. Rijkald for this question, and he will answer you. As for my opinion, it is no longer important. I believe he is more in-depth than me!"
...
Maldini was also surrounded by the media, and his face also had a smile. However, unlike Ancelotti, his smile was full of confidence. In San Siro's 2-0 victory over the powerful Barcelona, and three days later, Milan's confidence reached its peak.
A reporter from the British Guardian asked: "Do you have confidence in the day after tomorrow?"
Maldini smiled and asked back, "Of course, why don't you have confidence?"
The reporter immediately asked: "Do you think Ronaldinho will perform well the day after tomorrow?"
Maldini smiled and said, "I hope he can overcome difficulties and show his abilities in the game. It is exciting to defeat such a Barcelona!"
A reporter from Rome Sports asked: "What kind of mentality will Milan face the acquired game?"
Martini smiled and said, "Faced the acquired game with a relaxed attitude, just like me now." His face suddenly became serious: "Barcelona is powerful, we are ready to face this fierce battle. I told Milan fans all over the world that you will see a stronger Milan team. We will definitely not let you down!"
A German reporter asked: "Don said Ronaldinho is a coward. Do you agree with this view?"
Maldini frowned and said, "Tang did not say which person is a coward. He just expressed his opinion. I agree with him that whether the team members can perform normally under strong pressure is the standard for whether he is strong!"
...
After Milan arrived in Barcelona, in addition to training, Ancelotti specifically asked Maldini to lead the entire team members to experience the scenery of Barcelona.
For Tang Jue, who came to Barcelona for the first time, everything was amazing. He was like a curious baby, constantly asking questions to the guide. This made Xiao Feifei in his mind very depressed, and knew everything about the super computer, and knew very clearly about these things.
On the night when Milan arrived in Barcelona, phones kept ringing in the Milan players' rooms. When they picked up the phone, a sweet and greasy sound came from the phone. This sound made people's heart beat faster and their whole body became weak.
Thinking that the battle was about to begin, the Milan players put away their thoughts and forced themselves to put down the phone. However, the phones did not stop there, and they called over persistently. Maldini realized that something was strange, so he immediately came to Ancelotti's room and reported the matter to him.
The phone in Ancelotti's room did not ring. After some thought, Ancelotti asked Maldini to go to each room immediately and instructed the players to unplug the phone line in order to cut off the harassment of the beauties.
Ancelotti doesn't believe that Barcelona is causing trouble later, so who is going to use this method to disintegrate Milan's combat power?
The problem was complained to the hotel. After careful inspection, the hotel found that these calls were not made through the hotel's phone number. The fog enveloped Ancelotti's heart.
