Chapter 547: Prestige is dim

The most important game of every season in La Liga, the Derby of the Century is coming!Before that, Real Madrid still has a league game and the last round of the Champions League group stage to play.

At home against Sporting Gijon, Wang Feng made a great contribution with a pass and the Galacticos won 3-0 without bloodshed. They challenged Ajax in the away game, and they finally shook hands with each other 0-0.

After this campaign, the list of the top 16 of the Champions League was all decided. In Group A, Bayern Munich joined hands with Naples to advance. Manchester City ranked third with a difference of one point and could only play in the Europa League.

This result made many Blue Moon fans unacceptable, and they condemned the head coach Mancini for playing a good hand. In the past three years, the club has invested hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market. The Italian can only say that he will do his best for The club brought back its first Premier League title after the restructuring.

In Group B, there is no doubt that Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow broke through. Group C was even more exciting. Benfica won the group first, Ruichao Basel beat Manchester United to get second in the group, the Red Devils ranked third and missed the knockout round, and the Romanian League. The Galatz Steel bottom.

You have to know how many people thought that this kind of matchup was simply to escort Manchester United into the knockout round when the results of the draw were announced. They didn't expect them to ruin their future inexplicably.

Criticism and condemnation flooded in for a while, and the entire Manchester City fell into wailing. Ferguson and Manchester United executives became more determined to separate Ronaldo and Rooney.

Real Madrid joined hands with Ajax to advance in Group D, while Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen seized seats in Group E. Valencia failed to make a comeback in the end. They had a poor record in the first few rounds. Although they fought hard to catch up, their opponents played steadily. .

Genk, who lost De Bruyne and Huang Hu, failed to find a bargain in the Champions League, and it was difficult to win one of the 6 games.

Arsenal and Marseille advanced to Group F. Dortmund ranked bottom and even missed the Europa League, which surprised many people.

Group G is also unpopular, the top two are Zenit St. Petersburg and APOEL, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk are ranked third and fourth.

The last group H was very normal. Barcelona and AC Milan advanced to the knockout round, Pilsen Forest won the Europa League seat, and Bart bid farewell to the European war.

.........

Although Ancelotti did not send the main players to the Netherlands this time, he still took all the players of the first team to train with the team. After the game, he took a plane to Barcelona the next day.

The Italian on the plane specially reminded everyone: "Although we have an advantage in the league duel with Barcelona in recent years, they are still one of the strongest teams in the world. Don't forget the Spanish Super Cup defeat at the beginning of the season."

"Of course, there is no need to be too nervous and anxious. After all, the initiative is still in our hands, and the Catalan team seems to be in a somewhat unstable state."

"Yeah." Pepe couldn't help but said: "I feel like I can't understand Barcelona's performance at all. They lost to Getafe in the last round, but they swept Levante 5-0 in the last round. And in the previous league, every big After the victory, I was suddenly tied, and the ups and downs were too great."

"The main issue is the connection between the old and the new lineup. Villa's level has dropped too fast, Neymar can't keep up with the team as a whole, and Cesc Fabregas can't replace Iniesta." Wang Feng calmly analyzed.

"It's true, Wang, you have broken up at least three of their lineups. It feels like Barcelona fans will tremble when they dream of you." Alonso said jokingly.

The Chinese superstar shrugged: "Anyway, I don't want to lose at the Nou Camp. Everyone, it's up to you to beat those arrogant fans down."

Everyone responded one after another, full of fighting spirit for a while.

In the La Masia training base, Vilanova is also encouraging the players, "Real Madrid is not invincible, don't forget that we snatched the Spanish Super Cup from them, and even Levante and Atletico Madrid gave them A lot of pressure."

"The biggest problem that plagues the team is mentality, the belief in winning in each of your players, Leo, tell me how you feel recently."

Messi took a deep breath and stood up slowly. His eyes met with all the players one by one, and then he said slowly: "Whether it is online or traditional media, there are voices criticizing and questioning me all the time."

"So I feel confused, worry about gains and losses, and sometimes even become unconfident during the game, but this will only make the situation worse and worse."

"So I decided to start from this game, stop thinking about everything outside, and try to fight all the games, everyone, come with me, you know what the real Barcelona is like, she will never give in to Madrid !"

"Barcelona will never give in!"

.........

On the evening of December 12th, at Camp Nou in Barcelona, ​​the 11th round of La Liga, the Century Derby is about to kick off.

The two teams have already lined up under the leadership of the referee team to enter the field. The captains of both sides, Harvey and Wang Feng, are standing at the front of the line. Since the former captain Puyol gradually faded out of the main lineup, Harvey has carried Catalonia Asian flag.

The players just moved their bodies silently and did not speak to each other. The air was filled with solemnity and chilling. Even the referee team was slightly shocked, and they involuntarily lowered their communication voices.

Vilanova still followed Guardiola's tactics, with a four-three-three starting lineup and goalkeeper Valdes.

Alves, Pique, Abidal and Adriano on the defense line, except for the Brazilians, are basically familiar faces.

This Adriano is not an old teammate of Wang Feng Inter Milan, but a defender who debuted in Seville. Due to the continuous injuries of his teammates, he has become a key defensive player more frequently.

The midfield consists of Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi.

The frontcourt is a combination of Fabregas, Messi and Neymar.

I have to say that Barcelona's lineup is very deep at this time, including Puyol, Mascherano, Keita, Villa, Sanchez, Pedro and other players are sitting on the bench.

Real Madrid's starting formation chooses four four two, goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho and Marcelo in the defense.

Midfielders Alonso, Khedira, Di Maria and Modric.

The striker Wang Feng played with the teenager Morata. Higuain accidentally strained during training. Although it was not serious, he had no choice but to miss this important game.

The long wait finally passed. After receiving the news, the referee Laos breathed a sigh of relief and called the two teams to come out of the player channel and set foot on the ground of Camp Nou.

Looking around, the prestige of the Devil's home court seems to be a bit bleak. Although the attendance rate is still hot, the proportion of Barcelona fans can be seen with the naked eye. On the contrary, the number of Real Madrid fans and some people who eat melons from afar has increased.

Many fans of the Catalan team really don't want to see their rivals ravaging the Nou Camp, so they would rather choose to sell their tickets at a high price. This approach undoubtedly made Barcelona even more sad and angry.

They are one of the biggest and oldest giants in La Liga!Even the fans began to gradually lose confidence in them, and the situation was already at stake.
