Chapter 565： King of data

Barcelona defeated the Celtics 1-0 at home and advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 4-2!

This is not news in itself, everyone thinks that Barcelona will advance.

The news is that Barcelona scored a very typical Barcelona-style goal.

Only three minutes into the game, after Barcelona passed 19 feet in a row, Harvey scored the goal.

This goal completely detonated the Nou Camp Stadium, so that 100,000 fans on the scene fell into a carnival.

The state of Ronaldinho and Deco recovered, and players such as Xavi and Iniesta still performed bravely, which made Barcelona received rave reviews after the game.

The Daily Sports newspaper stated that the two rounds against the Celtics gave people a glimpse of Barcelona's championship appearance, especially the return of traditional Barcelona football, and the recovery of Ronaldinho and Deco's status is even more extreme. Greatly enhance the strength of Barcelona.

Barcelona's mouthpiece said that in La Liga this season, Barcelona has been very difficult to pose a threat to Real Madrid, especially after losing to Atletico Madrid two to four away, Barcelona has basically withdrawn from the championship battle, Real Madrid will be the final winner.

"But withdrawing from the championship early is not necessarily a bad thing for Barcelona, ​​because Rijkaard's team can gather more energy and invest in the Champions League. The game against the Celtics is the best evidence. ."

The Daily Sports believes that sharp offense and solid defense are the magic weapon for Barcelona to advance in the Champions League this season.

Different from the setbacks in La Liga, in the Champions League, Barcelona are the only four teams in the UEFA Champions League that have maintained an unbeaten record. The impressive record of six wins and two draws puts Barcelona in the position of Bayern, Manchester United and Chelsea. Ranked first in the Champions League.

"Before, Barcelona's defense was criticized, but now, with five goals conceded, Barcelona has become one of the teams that have conceded the fewest goals in the Champions League, and the team's offensive firepower is in the forefront of the Champions League teams. ."

The Daily Sports analyzes that the improvement of offense and defense is precisely the key to Barcelona's achievements in the Champions League.

…

If only the Daily Sports newspaper said so, it can be said to be self-proclaimed, but the British media Daily Mail is also very surprised by the Barcelona data, thinking that Rijkaard's team is focusing on the Champions League.

In possession rate, Barcelona averaged 62% of the ball per game, far surpassing all other teams in the Champions League. Real Madrid, the closest to Barcelona, ​​only 57%, which proves Barcelona's amazing control. Ball advantage.

The advantage of possession is an advantage in offense.

In terms of the ability to create opportunities, Barcelona still tops European football, especially in the number of shots on goal, as high as 63 times. That is to say, on average in eight games, almost eight shots on goal per game.

This is definitely an amazing number!

The Daily Mail believes that Rijkaard's team has been far underestimated by the outside world because of the unsatisfactory performance of La Liga.

"This is the king of statistics in the Champions League!"

In addition to possession and shooting, Barcelona also has one of the most scary statistics in European football, that is the number of corner kicks, as many as 67 times, averaging more than eight times per game. This is another terrible statistic. There are more than 20 teams in the second place, which is enough to prove that Barcelona is the team that advocates offensive football in European football.

However, Barcelona only scored one corner kick, from Messi, it was a goal full of luck.

The Daily Mail believes that Barcelona still has considerable potential to be tapped in this regard. How to improve the team's corner kick utilization and the utilization efficiency of the frontcourt free kick created by Barcelona's best infiltration in the center, this is all Reggie Calder should focus on the next problem to solve.

But in any case, the Daily Mail believes that Barcelona is the most champion-looking team in the Champions League this season.

"When everyone felt that the dynasty of the second team of Barcelona's dream has been destroyed, Barcelona quietly played the most gorgeous offensive football in European football and achieved quite outstanding results. This makes people can't help but look forward to them. "

"On the other hand, Schuster's Real Madrid, although they were a top spot in La Liga, they once again stopped in the last 16 in the Champions League, which shows that this team is slightly inferior to Barcelona in terms of hard power."

"Looking at the current European football, there are really only three teams that threaten Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Manchester United and Chelsea."

…

If only the media say so, it can be considered hype, but Barça’s vice chairman Bartomeu also mentioned the team’s goals for this season when he was on three sets of Spanish TV programs.

"We will not give up La Liga, but the main focus of the team will be on the Champions League. We hope to regain the Champions League!"

Bartomeu also mentioned the team’s summer strategy, saying that Rijkaard will only be able to stay in office after winning the Champions League, and Barcelona will also be reorganized this summer, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Fabrega. Sneakers, many stars will be Barcelona's signing targets.

"There is no doubt that we have to build a more competitive team. We are fed up with all the chaos in the dressing room and we need to make a change."

Regarding the funding for signings, Bartomeu said that the team will use various methods, including but not limited to selling players in the team, raising a transfer fee of 100 million euros, and doing its best to introduce Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the host of the show also asked that the Portuguese mentioned in an interview with the media that he would not consider Barcelona because he felt that the way Barcelona treated his best friend Su Dong made him angry.

In this regard, Bartomeu said that he has not heard such rumors. He believes that the Portuguese are also full of interest in joining a giant team with a long history like Barcelona.

"Here, he will work with the best players, Messi, Bojan, Xavi, Iniesta, etc., they will form a fantasy lineup, which is the temptation that all professional players can hardly refuse. "

Bartomeu looks confident in bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo.

When the host asked the last question, Su Dong said in Germany that he hoped to be able to draw Barcelona in the quarter-final knockout round. Bartomeu said with a smile that he had heard such news.

"We all know that Barcelona is the best performing team in the Champions League this season. Many teams hope to prove their strength by challenging Barcelona, ​​but this is not controlled by anyone, and we would not mind drawing any one. team."

But when the host mentioned that Rijkaard once said that he did not want to meet Bayern led by Su Dong, Bartomeu laughed a little embarrassed, but explained: "What he meant is that I don’t want to be too early. It’s not that we are afraid of Su Dong and Bayern when we encounter a strong team.”

Bartomeu even took the initiative to mention the relationship between Barcelona and Bayern, saying that among the team’s summer signing goals, Bayern’s Lahm is a full-back that Barcelona admire very much, and the team is actively operating Lahm to join Barcelona. The possibility.

The other is Daniel Alves from Seville.

…

Bartomeu's remarks once again sparked heated discussions in the media.

Well, even the pre-game tricks of digging corners have come out. Isn't this a signal to draw Bayern?

There are even media reporters and fans who are afraid that the world will not chaotically shout UEFA, hoping that they can manipulate the draw and let Barcelona and Bayern meet.

"This time, I promise that no one will scold you for shady!"

Bartomeu's remarks really helped to increase Barcelona's momentum, so that many media and fans were moved by the wind, thinking that Barcelona is the number one favorite in the Champions League this season, but the second dream team is not without hidden dangers.

After the game against the Celtics, Barcelona announced that Messi was absent for six weeks due to a muscle strain and was destined to miss the Champions League quarter-finals. This will also be a big blow to Barcelona's combat effectiveness.

In addition, after returning to La Liga, Barcelona lost to Villarreal one to two at home, basically sentenced to death in La Liga, far behind Real Madrid, it is difficult to have another chance to hit the championship.

Subsequently, the Catalan media also broke an inside story. After the injury, Messi accused the Barcelona medical team in the locker room, thinking that it was the player's physical training program that they formulated specifically to prevent player injuries. Unscientific, this led to his frequent muscle strains.

For such accusations, Barcelona officials denied it, but said the club has accepted Messi's application.

The Argentine did not follow the Barcelona medical team's recommendations and stayed in Barcelona to recuperate, but chose to return to Argentina to recuperate.

Messi’s father Jorge revealed in an interview with the Argentine media, “We already have doubts about the professional capabilities of the Barcelona team doctors, so we decided to consider other treatment and training programs.”

As for the treatment and training program, Jorge, Messi and Barcelona officials did not disclose it.

The outside world just knows that Messi will return to Argentina to recuperate.

Only Su Dong, who is far away in Munich, smiled at Wang Chuqing happily: "Whoever of you will say that Messi is an honest person in the future, I am the first to be unconvinced. This is really an old fox with a sullen expression!"

Wang Chuqing was also amused, "Isn't it just borrowing your physical therapist temporarily? As for hurting him like that?"

"What do you know?" Su Dong waved his hand, "Do you really think that he is so tough to return to Argentina because he can't trust Barcelona's team doctor?"

"Is not it?"

"The letter is only affirmative, but you think he can also receive physiotherapy in Barcelona, ​​why does he have to go back to his country?"

Wang Chuqing's ice and snow are clever, she can see through, and immediately smiled, "Dare to love that he wants to run back to reunite with Xiaofang."

"That's not it? I guess this kid has even figured out his confession." Su Dong knows Messi too well.

This kid is never unsure of the fight, especially in terms of feelings.

The most important thing is that his image of the shy boy next door is too misleading for the fans. As everyone knows, this kid is bad at his bones!

"I have been with you for a long time, UU read and even Messi broke down with me." Wang Chuqing sighed quietly.

Su Dong was taken aback, what do you mean?

Follow me to learn bad?

My God, this kid is already bad, what does it mean to follow me to be bad?

"Am I bad?" Su Dong stared at Wang Chuqing unkindly, as if Big Big Wolf was staring at Pleasant Goat.

How can Wang Chuqing not understand him?

Blushing, he nodded and said, "It's really bad."

"Then I'm worse."

After speaking, Big Gray Wolf pounced on it all.

Pleasant screams came from Yangcun on Qingqing Grassland.
