Chapter 734 Chapter 730: Supporters from inside Barcelona!
The Barcelona stars are basically very low-key, and Pique is an exception, so he was once again called by the media.
The Barcelona central defender did not escape, he came to the reporter.
A French reporter asked: "Many Arsenal supporters hope that Chen will score another hat-trick in this game. What do you think of this problem?"
With a solemn expression, Pique replied to the reporter: "If he can still perform a hat-trick tonight, I will announce my retirement tomorrow!"
The scene fell into a deathly silence, and the reporters opened their mouths wide, speechless.
Who would have thought that the Barcelona central defender would be so decisive and close himself to a dead end?
Or, he has super confidence to contain Chen Fan?
After Pique left, the reporters had a lively discussion.
"Rather than saying that Pique is full of confidence, it is better to say that he scored four hat-tricks in a row. It is an impossible thing to accomplish, let alone the opponent is a team like Barcelona!"
"I said, if... if Chen accidentally scored a hat-trick tonight, is Pique really going to retire?"
Pique was born in 1987 and is only 24 years old now. He is in the golden age of a player, because of a vow to retire...
It is a huge loss for himself, Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
"Impossible! Since Pique said so, it is impossible for Chen to perform a hat-trick!"
"Yeah, you think hat-tricks are so easy to accomplish? Not to mention the hat-tricks in four consecutive games!"
Manchester City Evening News reporter Matthew Upson did not participate in the discussion. They watched with cold eyes and shook their heads in their hearts.
Colleagues, that was a hat-trick. Since Pique said so, is Barcelona's defense still desperate?
……
Players from both sides put on warm-up jerseys and came to the stadium to warm up. Fans entered the stadium in an orderly manner. The Nou Camp, which can accommodate more than 9 people, gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Any away team playing at this stadium will feel the extra pressure.
Chen Fan warmed up earnestly with his teammates. During the practice of snatching the ball, laughter came out from time to time, which made the London reporter heave a sigh of relief.
He did not accept media interviews before the game. Many reporters believed that Arsenal had no confidence.
Now they hear laughter, which shows that the atmosphere of Arsenal players preparing for the game is still very relaxed.
Such ease is conducive to the development of the state.
There was also laughter from Barcelona.
The reporters know that it won't be long before the laughter dies down, and when the game starts, who will?
After the warm-up was over, the players from both sides left the turf and returned to the locker room.
On the way back to the locker room, Raphael, a reporter from the London Business Daily, stopped Chen Fan and told him Pique's oath.
Raphael's original intention was to make Chen Fan be careful, and Barcelona's defense would use all their strength to deal with him.
But Chen Fan said with a smile: "It's okay, they can't stop me for 10 minutes, just give me a few seconds, and I can break their goal!"
"In addition, Pique is really not a problem. He can't stop me in a one-on-one situation!"
Hearing Chen Fan's confident words, Raphael's confidence inevitably returned.
……
At 45:[-], the starting players of both sides appeared in the player channel.
Chen Fan's mind was very relaxed. He wanted to tease the caddy beside him, but found that the little guy couldn't understand English at all, and he couldn't speak Spanish either.
How important it is to know a foreign language.
After Chen Fan decided to go back, he would find time to learn foreign languages, such as Spanish, German, French and so on.
On the other side, Puyol looked a little embarrassed, because the caddy beside him told him that he hoped to get Chen Fan's autograph, and he hoped that Puyol could help him fulfill his wish.
The captain of Barcelona looked at the begging in the eyes of the little boy beside him, and asked softly, "Why don't you go by yourself?"
The little boy lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid..."
Well, here's a shy and timid little boy who hasn't grown up to be a man yet.
Puyol brought the little boy to Chen Fan's side, which attracted the attention of the player tunnel.
"This little boy wants your autograph, but he's very shy, so I just have to bring him..."
Chen Fan was a little stunned, then looked at the little boy, and asked softly, "Where do you want to sign?"
Puyol acted as a temporary translator.
The little boy didn't dare to look up, and pointed to his jersey.
The expression on Puyol's face became weird, signing Chen's name on the Barcelona jersey?
Does this hint at the future?
He suddenly recalled that after the World Cup finals, he once sent an invitation to Chen Fan, inviting him to play in Barcelona.
Chen Fan found a pen from the reporter next to him, squatted down, signed his name on the boy's jersey, and then kissed him on the cheek.
The little boy lowered his head even more.
This picture made the Barcelona players' eyes widen. What's going on?
Is it a slap in the face to sign the opponent's name on the Barcelona jersey?
They felt very strange in their hearts, as if the opponent's flag was planted on their own city wall...
Pique's eyes were burning, and Messi looked pensive...
Van Persie suppressed the smile in his heart, deliberately sullen his face, Fabregas opened his mouth wide.
……
Under the leadership of the four referees, the starting players of both sides walked out of the player channel and came to the court.
The almost full Camp Nou sounded like a tsunami of cheers, and the battle was imminent!
The Catalan TV commentator said loudly: "Because Barcelona lost [-]-[-] to the Emirates Stadium in the first round, this game tonight is a battle of life and death!
It is a difficult task for Barcelona to win by two goals and not allow Arsenal to score, but it is not impossible!
come on!Barcelona!
In recent years, you have never let the situation of falling in the first round of the knockout round happen! "
The ESPN commentator said loudly: "Let's introduce the starting players of both teams.
Arsenal's formation is four-five-one, goalkeeper: Almunia; four defenders: Clichy, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna; five midfielders: Diaby, Song, Chen, Ramsey, Arshavin; the only forward is Van Persie!
This is currently Arsenal's strongest lineup, with all the tridents starting, Chen's position has changed, and he has retreated to the midfielder position!
This shows that Wenger's primary idea is to contain Barcelona's offense and let Chen deal with Messi, which is the same as last year.
If Chen can perform like he did in last year's game, then the defensive midfielder position will not only not suppress his attacking ability, but also help Arsenal stabilize the defense.
Let's take a look at Barcelona's lineup.
Guardiola formed a four-three-three attack formation.
Goalkeeper: Victor Valdes; Four defenders: Abidal, Puyol, Pique, Alves; Three midfielders: Xavi, Iniesta, Butzquez; Three forwards: Villa, Messi, Pedro!
This lineup is the same as the first round, which shows that Guardiola is very confident in this lineup! "
The commentator of French TV [-] said: "Because Chen retreated, he ushered in a one-on-one opportunity with Messi. This will be the biggest highlight of this game!"
