Eastwood's slap shot became a topic of interest for the fans of the Forest team after the game, and was also featured on the espnTV Station's highlights. It was really a wonderful goal, just like a work of art. There is a commentary that Mourinho is not humiliated under such a goal.
While Nottingham Forest FC eliminated Inter Milan in a 3:2 score, Barcelona also easily defeated Eindhoven and advanced to the quarterfinals with two 2:0. The two closely watched teams finally met (author's note: a friend mentioned the bug in the lottery ceremony, everyone will be the 2010-11season to start the Champions League and change the lottery rules, after all, who will say no in the future? quasi. At the beginning, several people were able to think of the Champion Cup being changed many times after entering the 1990s.)
Although it has been nearly a month since the two teams actually met, the media and fans are already waiting for the countdown.
This season So far, Nottingham Forest FC has been ranked between the third and fifth in the league. If you want to get the League Title, you have to work hard and pray for the pre-test. Several teams have made mistakes in succession, and the probability is too low. So people familiar with Tony Twain think that Twain will concentrate on the Champion Cup while keeping the top four positions in the league.
The situation in Barcelona is slightly better than Nottingham Forest FC. They are currently ranked first in the league, and the second place Real Madrid CF is four points away from them. At the same time in the King's Cup, they also entered the finals. It seems that this will be a successful season – they are likely to achieve the greatness of Triple Crown. Although there is a stalwart in the league, the King's Cup finals are facing a recovery, and hope to use the King's Cup Champion as a re-emergence of Sevilla FC, the Champion Cup is the most difficult opponent…
It is also true that their future is bright, and it is not unreasonable to say that their future is unpredictable.
At half a month from the game, Guardiola was asked by the journalists about the game with Nottingham Forest FC. He didn't want to answer this question, so he said: "I am only considering the next round of league and RCD Espanyol's Derby. The Champion Cup only started half a month. ”
Unlike him, Twain talked to the media about the game early on: "Who will be the ultimate winner? Then ask? Nature is us! Barcelona's luck is very bad, their schedule during this time is not good for them, this is our chance…Would you like me to rate the Barcelona Derby the night after tomorrow? I heard that it was a more intense game than Spain's Derby. I hope that several people in their team are injured in that game…"
This caused an uproar in the Catalonia media. "Mundo Deportivo" angrily rebuked Twain as "Stadium Fascist" and could say that he hopes his opponent has a player who is injured in the game.
"SPORT" ridicules Twain's remarks as "the declaration of the coward". Why? Because "he can only pray that Barcelona has a player injured, his team can win. How sad and pitiful this is! ”
There are other tabloids who have published their own essays on Twain on their positions. In their manuscript, Twain became a monster with a tail-faced cow behind his long-horned ass. There is a mustache above the lips, like Hitler.
But what Twain said is not a shit. At the very least, Guardiola has this concern – what if the player is really injured in RCD Espanyol's Barcelona Derby? Messi is now in excellent condition and performance, with consecutive goals and Assists. He has long been a player in the game that needs the attention of his opponent. Since it is Barcelona Derby, it is almost unthinkable for RCD Espanyol not to target Messi. The use of killing Tactics for Messi in the game now seems to be a “hidden rule” in the Spanish league. Any team encountering Barcelona, Messi will always become the most infringed player after the game.
More than once in his column, Cruyff called on the Spain Football Association to introduce a rule: to protect those players with artistic talent. Severely punish Tactics specifically for a player. Although he did not mention the name "Messi", as long as the IQ is normal, everyone knows that he is talking to Messi.
The Spanish Football Association cannot amend the rules for a certain player. FIFA has long been strict with the regulations of "backhoes", so it is impossible to change.
In the first half of this season, Messi suffered an injury and rested for a month and a half. In fact, he has been injured in almost every season in the past few years. As one of the best offensive Football Stars on the planet. He is a natural contradiction with those Defenders. All Defender will never feel the feeling of "pity and jealousy" when facing Messi. They will only smash him to the ground again and again, forcing him to lose the ball, which will make Barcelona's offense deadlock.
Twain is definitely not cursing Barcelona's player. He is only telling the truth – this is the case today. You said that those skilled players have been ravaged by the fact that the defensive players are killing the beauty of football. It is an irrefutable fact that they are more vulnerable to injury.
So Twain's words caused a certain degree of trouble to Guardiola…The game with RCD Espanyol is bound to be fierce, and there is no doubt about it. Messi will also be the key figure of the party, and will be targeted by the other party, even using Tactics. If Messi is really injured in this game, so miss the next few games, is the loss even greater?
He thought about it, and in the Barcelona Derby one day later, the name of Messi was not on the starting list.
Some media lamented Twain. This mouth is really powerful. Can actually let Barcelona's Manager change his mind…
Not only was Messi so simple, the Barcelona team played some restraint in the game against RCD Espanyol. Off game venue They are obviously not as active as the home team RCD Espanyol. When the commentator talks about this, it is estimated that Guardiola also instilled in them the idea of not to be injured in the game.
And regardless of Guardiola's care, Twain said it was good, and Barcelona's schedule was bad for them during this time:
After playing with RCD Espanyol's Barcelona Derby, the next round is the fourth place in the league with Valencia, followed by the world-famous "Century Wars" "National Derby" – Barcelona away game venue Challenge Real Madrid CF. After the game, it is the turn of the championship of the Champion Cup. They are waiting for the Nottingham Forest FC to play at home. Then finish the game. It is also the main scene of the league against Sevilla FC, then go to the away game venue to challenge Nottingham Forest FC.
It seems that Twain really has a deep understanding of his opponent. Even the other side's schedule knows the bottom. In the face of such a difficult schedule, Barcelona also wants to break through the whole line, it is indeed a little difficult. After the league hit mid-April, it was everyone who was exhausted and lacked in succession. But this is the final sprint, a slight flash. It may be "a failure to become an old age hate."
Barcelona won't be willing to lose the Champion Cup and will not be willing to give up the league. The four-point gap is not enough for them to open Real Madrid CF, not to mention the opportunity for a direct dialogue with Real Madrid.
On the other hand, the schedule of Nottingham Forest FC is much easier. They only met a strong opponent before the game with Barcelona, that is Chelsea.
The result of Barcelona Derby was that the two sides became 2:2. In this game, the main referee showed nine yellow cards and one red card. RCD Espanyol's Middle Defender Sergio.Sánchez was sent off for the red card because he overturned Iniesta. The latter insisted on fifteen minutes after he was sent off by the red card and was later replaced by Guardiola with Yaya Touré.
Twain's crow mouth showed great power, and Iniesta was replaced. In Defender Gabriel.Milito also sprained his ankle in a fight and was forced to end.
This game can be scored 2:2, and Barcelona fans should be thankful. Because in the end Barcelona was a nine-player – Milito was injured eight minutes from the end of the game, and Guardiola had used all the substitutions.
The only good news is that Guardiola did not arrange Messi to start the field correctly. In fact, at the last moment of the game, Barcelona faced a bad situation. Guardiola did not let Messi play. After seeing RCD Espanyol's vigorous fighting spirit and rough action, the fool will let Messi take the risk.
After the game, another media ran to interview Twain and asked him what he thought of the game. Twain said in a tone called Catalonia media: "This result fully demonstrates that I am definitely not a malicious curse. Because I am telling the truth. I don't believe that playing a game like Barcelona Derby, no one will be injured and no one will end. Therefore, I also don't believe that there will be no small friction in playing a game like Derby…"
This last sentence reveals his insidious and shameless nature – an RCD Espanyol is not enough, he continues to look forward to Real Madrid CF to create trouble for Barcelona.
Of course, Twain's remarks also caught the attention of Barcelona. As always, Guardiola did not make any comments, and his players couldn't sit still.
The big mouth Eto'o fired first at Tony Twain: "Some people lack basic respect. I really don't know how this kind of person became a professional football club manager. ”
Xavi also expressed his dissatisfaction: "I don't think it's a good idea to promote the injury of the players. Quaresma’s injury is a tragedy, is it Twain Mr.
I hope to see such a tragedy happening every day? ”
In fact, Barcelona's players are very savage…Twain chose to shut up in the face of Barcelona.
But the most uncomfortable person in the middle is Pique. As a Barcelona person. Pique's feelings for Nottingham Forest FC and Twain are very deep. Without the original head and Nottingham Forest FC, Pique doesn't know how long it will take to be in the Barcelona First Team and become the main force in today's Defender. This is also a "curve to save the country"…
Twain took the initiative to provoke a battle with Barcelona. For Pique, who had played under his hand, he certainly knew what the head was thinking about – not that he had a deep hatred for Barcelona, it was just a necessary means of victory. . However, in the eyes of his Barcelona teammate, this person and Barcelona have such a strong hatred.
When the journalist ran to ask him the person who knows best about Tony Twain in the Barcelona team. Pique can only use the "I refuse to express my opinion" to smother the past.
He is not willing to say bad things about his teacher. But he must not be able to turn his elbows out, so he had to be silent.
Twain is also capitalized by the fact that Barcelona is so concerned. He doesn't like Barcelona to fight for more than one line of Champion. At present, his team's performance is enough to be in the top four in the league, and the FA Cup and EFL League Cup have long since given up. Today, he has a lot of time to play with Guardiola.
After the tie with RCD Espanyol and the loss of the two generals, Cataloni media can not help but panic. In fact, the media are like this, like to scream. When they learned that Nottingham Forest FC's next round of opponents was Chelsea, they all began to admire Rijkaard's great achievements in Barcelona in his one-acre three-point. Since they had previously called Guardiola's Barcelona "the second team of dreams", they had to say that Rijkaard was the "founder of the dream two dynasty", just like acMilan's Saki and Capello.
They reviewed Rijkaard's experience in Barcelona and of course automatically blocked those bad things, only saying that the achievements were not mentioned. Everyone gave him a high praise and sang a hymn. And I wish him all the best in Chelsea and success.
With these postures, you can't see at all that when Rijkaard was in trouble, it was them who fell into the grave.
Rijkaard is a smart and calm person, and his reaction to the sudden collective nerves of the Catalonia media is very cold. Everyone who leaves Barcelona seems to have a bad impression of the local media in Catalonia…
When asked by journalist about this topic, he just said in a very plain tone: "I am now Chelsea's Manager. I will of course try to win in the game against Nottingham Forest FC, but that is not for Barcelona. ”
But just defeating Nottingham Forest FC is actually not good for Barcelona. Twain doesn't pursue League Title, so he can lose a game or two. The Catalonia media would have liked Twain to "curse" their actions on their own – in the fierce battle with Chelsea, many players were injured and left.
Twain did not give them such an opportunity.
In the past years, the two teams met, and it was inevitable that a war of words would inevitably detonate the hot scene in the game. In addition, Twain and Rijkaard have old complaints. The media speculated that the game may not be exciting, but it is definitely fierce. But what? Twain didn't take the initiative to provoke a war of words. Rijkaard, who was smashed by the locker room of the team's faction, didn't bother to quarrel with outsiders.
During the game, Twain rotated the entire starting lineup, and the players who were expected to start in the Champion Cup were all rotated to the bench and the stands.
The game ended up with 1:1 level with Chelsea. Nottingham Forest is still in the fourth in the league and has not had any impact.
Compared to the Barcelona Derby, the game was very civilized – there were only four yellow cards without a red card and no one was injured. The media only guessed half of it. The game was really not exciting. It was not intense. It was dull for 90 minutes. Both sides scored one goal and ended up with the expected horrible "Mars hit the earth." ".
After the game, Twain wrote in his four media columns to ridicule Catalonia media for "in vain." The war of words between the two sides will be further upgraded.
Although there is still more than a week from the real match day, the smoke has already spread, from England to the wind by the wind.
