April 3rd, the day before the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Barcelona charter flight landed in Turin.
Barcelona had earlier notified major media outlets that it would hold a press conference.
This game is the focus of everyone's attention, so there are a lot of media.
When Rosemeu appeared at the press conference, all reporters had a hunch that there should be big news to be announced this time.
"Hello." Rosemeu tried the microphone. "Hello everyone, thank you for coming today. I will keep the story short and announce a few official Barcelona decisions."
The media in the audience were all excited.
Is it a decision related to Lu Yang?
Are you going to ban Lu Yang from the team?
Or punish Lu Yang for missing the game without permission?
Or even... fire Lu Yang?
If you are fired, you will have to go through legal procedures.
Lu Yang, Lu Yang.
There were so many roads you didn't take, but you had to go to Barcelona.
The result is now better.
Not to mention wasting a year in vain, the key point is that the good reputation accumulated before is gone.
Any disagreement, regardless of whether you are the winner or the loser, will leave a bad impression on others.
"First of all, as the president of Barcelona, on behalf of the entire Barcelona Football Club, I would like to express our apologies to Lu Yang!" Rosemeu said in a surprising and sincere manner, "In the past period of time, Barcelona due to internal Some problems have caused the players who played for us to feel chilled."
"I guarantee here that this kind of situation will never happen again in the future."
"Barcelona always stands with its players!"
The audience suddenly exploded.
Stand with the players?
A reporter asked on the spot: "Rosemeu, currently only Lu Yang has clearly expressed his opinion on the Yokorun incident. So what you are saying is that Barcelona will not continue to support Yokorun from now on, right?" ?"
Rosemeu nodded without hesitation: "Yes! From now on, Barcelona will no longer support Youkorun in any way, including a series of relevant suggestions made by UEFA, which Barcelona has the right to ignore. !”
"We just want to play football! To hell with the rest!"
Inverted!
Barcelona rebelled!
The Yokorun incident has been going on for so long, and Barcelona is the first to stand up and publicly deny UEFA and Yokorun.
This may trigger a new round of statements in football.
After all, Barcelona will be the first to speak first, and other clubs will not be punished if they speak later.
Rosemeu continued: "In addition, I am here to announce some personnel changes within FC Barcelona."
"Director Benetto has caused a lot of trouble to the team because he frequently interfered in the internal affairs of the club's sports department and privately expressed unofficial Barcelona's position without the permission of the club's presidium."
"After careful consideration, I announce that all Benetto's duties and work at Barcelona will be suspended. We will hold a high-level meeting later on whether to retain his status as a director."
"at the same time……"
Rosemeaux spoke eloquently.
Including Benetto, Barcelona football and sports department, fans council, publicity and other departments have made adjustments.
A total of one presidium member and three directors have been suspended.
Eight managers and 24 staff members were fired.
Even before Rosemeu held the press conference, the deputy editors of Barcelona's mouthpiece media "Daily Sports" and "World Sports" suddenly resigned.
There is no doubt that these people are the same people who had the opposite attitude to Lu Yang regarding the Yukerun matter some time ago.
Rosemeu expressed Barcelona's support for Lu Yang with practical actions.
In order to invite Lu Yang back to the game, and to harvest the opposition, Rosemeu directly attacked UEFA this time, and at the same time, he also slapped his fans who had been dancing happily in the face.
In particular, he said that football is not the personal tool of some people in UEFA, which aroused the same sentiments among many wealthy clubs.
After Rosemeu's statement, teams such as Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League and Sanremo in Serie A issued official statements stating that they would withdraw from the activities recommended by UEFA to support Yoko Jun.
They want football to be purified.
The chairman of Chelsea Football Club has repeatedly emphasized that everyone should use football to influence the war like Lu Yang and Moric did, rather than letting football be affected by the war!
At this point, the matter regarding Youkorun began to turn around in European football.
Many players and teams who did not understand the matter or were unwilling to get involved began to issue statements. They did not want their influence to be abused by UEFA.
For a time, UEFA was unable to control the situation again.
For a long time in the past, UEFA's credibility was sufficient.
But in the past few years since Jefflin took office, UEFA has had several crises of confidence.
There were previous black whistle issues, last year's lottery manipulation issue, and this year's issue of private use of public equipment.
Everyone no longer trusts UEFA.
At least, not trusting Jefflin.
…
On April 4th, in the Champions League, Barcelona challenged Juventus away.
When the players from both sides came on the stage, there was a huge round of applause.
The cheers of "Lu Yang, Lu Yang" came from the Juventus Athletic Stadium.
You read that right, the person calling Lu Yang’s name was a Juventus fan wearing a black and white jersey.
They are using their actions to praise Lu Yang's tough behavior in UEFA.
Lu Yang did not embarrass Serie A. Just as he was "arrogant" in Italy, he was also "arrogant" in La Liga.
This internal and external consistency is respectable.
Yes.
Lu Yang also appeared on the green field and was a starter.
Today's Barcelona, apart from Ava being unable to play due to injury, can be said to be in full condition.
This game is destined to be exciting.
When the referee blows the whistle, the game officially begins.
In the first ten minutes, the two sides interacted with each other.
"Barcelona's morale has really improved today." Luo Cheng was the commentator for this game. "This is related to Lu Yang's return, which is a good thing, but..."
"Barcelona were a little too anxious today. They wrote their offense on their faces and lost their usual composure."
"This may have something to do with them falling behind in the first round."
"This is also the spirit of the team that we have always emphasized!"
"Since Lu Yang joined Barcelona, he has proved his ability through countless tough battles and at the same time twisted the entire Barcelona into a rope! Everyone holds hands, is connected, and is united."
"But in the past period of time, Barcelona attacked Lu Yang due to internal strife among the top management and other issues. The fans attacked Lu Yang and confronted him on major issues of right and wrong."
"Forcing Lu Yang away, a player like Lu Yang who loves the game to his heart's content shows his attitude by refusing to play."
"Although they invited Lu Yang back twice, is it really only Lu Yang who is disappointed?"
"The atmosphere that the team had had is gone."
"Don't the other players on the team have any feelings about this?"
"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Even the backbone of the team like Lu Yang has become a victim in the struggle between the top management. What about the ordinary players? You have sacrificed your life for Barcelona, and in the end you have to be criticized by the fans instigated by the top management."
"It's you, do you think this ball is played well?"
"The atmosphere within the Barcelona team has been dealt a devastating blow. Even if such a team has a complete lineup, it is difficult to pose a threat."
"Barcelona obviously lost their usual composure on offense today, and they became anxious. Falling behind is the direct cause, but the recent turmoil within the team is the root cause."
"I'm not very optimistic about Barcelona today."
Luo Cheng's commentary was recognized by most football fans.
Barcelona is really in a hurry today.
The offense isn't perfect.
And an imperfect offense...cannot break Juventus's chain defense.
In the seventeenth minute, Juventus' left back ran out of space on the left.
Perotti found him with a long pass.
The ball was passed slightly wider.
But the Juventus left back did not give up and saved the ball before it was about to cross the baseline, and then passed the ball back in the inverted triangle.
Kolber broke into the penalty area, shot directly without stopping the ball, and easily broke through the door of Kahn's handle.
"Kolbert, Kolber scored! He killed the game. Juventus, with a big score of 3-1, stepped on Barcelona's corpse and reached the Champions League Four... Oh, wait, the linesman raised his flag."
Offside!
Kolber had no problem.
But the Juventus left back who assisted Kolber was offside.
The moment Perotti passed the ball, the Juventus left back was about 30 centimeters offside.
The Juventus generals sighed.
Thirty centimeters may seem like a long distance at ordinary times, but to a running player, it is a momentary difference.
Just a little bit, Juventus could end the game early.
What a shame.
However, the Juventus generals are just sighing, not regretful.
Because they all believe that today they can beat Barcelona on the opposite side.
Because this Barcelona is not even as good as the Barcelona in the last game.
When people's hearts are scattered, where is the fighting power left?
Facts have proved that there is no problem with the judgment of Juventus players.
In the 38th minute, Ram intercepted the ball in the midfield. Ancarelli, who retreated, immediately controlled the football and then drove forward directly, beating Barcelona in a counterattack.
Kolber advanced with the ball on the left side of the ribs, and after two or three dribbles, he reached the left periphery of the penalty area.
Clement defended Kolber alone.
Kolber prepared for a long shot to hit the far corner.
In order to prevent Kolber from shooting, Clement could only stay alert and was unable to steal the ball.
Even Clement's position was adjusted by Kolber, leaving Kolber space to hit the near corner.
boom!
It was this angle that Kolber wanted.
He has already mastered his shooting skills and is quite confident in hitting tight angles.
boom!
Kahn pounced on the football, but the shot was so powerful and had a certain amount of spin that Kahn couldn't catch the ball.
The football was released and eventually bounced into the Barcelona net.
"GOAL! The ball went in!"
"This time we really got in!"
"Kolber! Kolber killed the game!"
"The score in this game is 1-0, and the big score is 3-1. It will be even more difficult for Barcelona to come back."
"Unless they score two goals in a row, they will tie the game."
"But based on Barcelona's current performance, let alone scoring two goals, they are struggling not to concede a goal!"
"That's it! Barcelona's Champions League results this season are likely to be finalized."
"Perhaps we can look forward to Lu Yang's next performance, but we still hope that Barcelona fans will be prepared. Lu Yang is a human being, not a god. There are some situations that even Lu Yang cannot save."
"In the final analysis, it's up to Barcelona's senior management to seek their own death."
Juventus are celebrating.
Barcelona is numb.
Both Clement and Kahn had ugly expressions because they were directly responsible.
"What the hell are you doing!" Maybarak roared at the two of them.
In the past few days after Gu Que left Lu Yang, Mebarak returned to the starting position.
He has great energy.
And one thing is for sure, his hard power is indeed stronger than Pirola.
Kahn and Clement dared not speak out in anger.
Did the goal conceded just now really have nothing to do with you, Mebarak?
If you don't go up, will Clement be the only one to defend Kolber?
If you were there, Clement could go directly to the ball and there would be no need to guard against Kolber's volley into the far corner.
The difference is huge.
"Hey, Mebarak, don't come up later!" Lu Yang ran back at this time and said, "Let Clement go clean up, and you stay behind to check for leaks and fill in the gaps."
"We don't need the central defender to step forward to help the ball. We are not in a hurry to attack. Every attack we make should be of high quality. Now is not the time to kick the ball indiscriminately into the frontcourt, do you understand?"
"This ball was shot very badly by Kolber. It was deliberately rotated. His shot was very difficult to save. Kahn, please pay more attention next time. This time, just pretend that you know Kolber."
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he patted Kahn and Clement on the heads.
Both nodded.
At the same time, Lu Yang looked at Mebarak.
Xiaomei, didn't you hear me?
"Okay, I'll hold the line from behind." Mebarak said awkwardly, and then left dejectedly.
In fact, Mebarak is absolutely responsible for this missed goal.
When the central defender presses into the midfield, not only does the defense have hidden dangers, but you also put great pressure on the midfielders and frontcourt players.
Because everyone knows that when the center back comes up, the team's defense will be in trouble, so the center and frontcourt players are more inclined to quickly complete the attack and then allow the center back teammates time to retreat.
But this kind of unnatural accelerated attack is destined to cause many mistakes or irrational attacks.
Many situations where another pass can be passed often end up with rough through balls and irresponsible long shots.
This is really not in line with Barcelona's style.
This is why Barcelona's previous offense made people feel anxious.
Then, Barcelona kicked off.
But Lahm is in great shape today. This may be his most glorious moment since moving from Sanremo to Juventus.
He actually stole Ortiz again and then passed the football to Perotti.
Kolber started immediately.
Perotti should have passed the ball quickly, but maybe because he was so happy with the two-goal lead, he did two tricks with his feet, teasing Ortiz who came up to counterattack immediately, and then kicked A long pass over the top.
The pass was good and penetrated Barcelona's defense.
Kolber also handled it perfectly. After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, he raised his right foot high as if he was going to shoot.
Kahn quickly got down to the ground.
However, Kolber's raised right foot shot turned into a bicycle, bypassing the football and knocking the football to the left.
The most advanced skills are often expressed in the simplest form.
With just half a bicycle ride, Kolber knocked Kahn down and then shot with his left foot.
The shooting angle was very small, but Kolber's rub shot was as steady as an old dog, and it was obvious that Ancarelli's pass was passed.
The football drilled into the net with precision.
The entire stadium exploded instantly.
Juventus fans are delighted.
Stable!
It’s really stable this time!
Champions League semi-finals, we Juventus are here again!
Juventus fans have reason to be excited, because among the Barcelona team they defeated, there was Lu Yang.
What does Lu Yang mean to Juventus?
Let's put it this way, in the past four years, in any game in which Sanremo participated, the team that defeated Sanremo would often win the championship trophy of the event!
Juventus defeated Sanremo and won the Italian Super Cup and Italian Cup.
They lost to Sanremo and lost the league championship.
Now, they eliminated Sanremo's own player, Lu Yang, in the Champions League.
what does that mean?
Champions League!
Juventus will definitely win the Champions League this year!
Tremble, Europa, Serie A is about to win the championship again!
Even Luo Chengdu exclaimed in disbelief: "Juventus, Juventus, who defeated Barcelona, is very likely to win the Champions League this year! Serie A team wins the Champions League three consecutive times! Oh my god! Can you believe it!"
But soon, everyone was speechless.
Because the linesman raised his flag again.
Kolber's goal was offside.
When Perotti passed the ball to him, he was about three meters behind Barcelona's last defender.
This is a very obvious offside.
Kolber kicked the turf wordlessly.
Pass it on soon!
He had already run out of position!
Luo Cheng said regretfully: "Kolbert was in really good condition today. He scored three goals before halftime. But unfortunately, two of them were offside goals."
"I think Perotti was a little bit stuck on the ball today. He had a chance to give the ball away early just now."
"It's great to tease a more famous player like Ortiz, but it's also an indisputable fact that it delays the team's offense."
"It's a pity, it's such a pity."
"This may be good news for Barcelona, otherwise if they were three goals behind, they wouldn't have to play in the second half."
Soon, halftime came.
Lu Yang gave a speech in the Barcelona locker room.
"After sixty minutes of the second half, it's time for us to counterattack!" Lu Yang said, "I am very familiar with this Juventus team. They are very strong, but they have a fatal weakness, and that is their physical strength!"
"The aging of the Juventus team is very serious. The average age of the team is as high as 30.5 years old!"
"Although they have peak players like Kolber at the front and rising stars like Ram at the back, they have many veterans over 33 years old in other positions."
"After sixty minutes, we will face a Juventus that is too old to run. So, everyone should know how we should play, right?"
"Run! Drive them! Then we will have countless offensive opportunities!"
Many teams have a physical crisis.
Atletico Madrid also has it, but Atletico Madrid's tactics require too much running and too much confrontation, which consumes physical energy.
Juventus is because the players are too old and their physical fitness cannot keep up.
This makes the styles of the two teams very different.
Atletico Madrid can fight tough games, but they tend to collapse at the end.
The Juventus senior team is not very capable of fighting tough battles.
Soon, the second half began.
Barcelona increased their efforts to control the ball, especially the long pass dispatch on the left and right sides.
Even in a defensive state, Juventus was depleting a lot of energy because they did not dare to completely let go of Barcelona on both sides.
A very fast Mancini, a super attacker Mateo, whoever is allowed to die.
At the sixty-minute mark, it seemed to confirm what Lu Yang said.
Barcelona's frontcourt press made great achievements.
Lu Yang, Mancini, Mateo, and Ortiz blocked all Ram's ball points.
Ram could only pass back.
Lu Yang immediately rushed over with the football and pressed the goalkeeper.
Normal pressing is just a show.
Audi received the back pass outside the right side of the small penalty area, then turned around and prepared to kick the ball to the other wing.
At this time, players who come to grab the ball often jump and turn around, trying to block the football with their backs.
Audi planned to show off Lu Yang's skills, pretend to pass the ball, and then wait for Lu Yang to jump up, then dribble the ball away gracefully, and then pass it to his teammates.
The advantage of this is that it not only shows off Lu Yang, but also turns a big foot into a pass directly to his teammates, retaining the ball.
Because the meaning of Bigfoot is to throw the ball away and let both sides grab it, which means that half of the ball is lost.
And after evading the press and passing it directly to a teammate, this is a defense of the ball.
Audi is very thoughtful.
But he didn't expect that after he faked a pass, Lu Yang paused and faked an interception.
Then Audi did not pass the ball, but half-turned to prepare to dribble the ball.
As a result, Lu Yang rushed forward again.
The two men's feints and follow-up actions were exactly at the same frequency.
There is a meaning that if you are facing the right and the person opposite is also facing the right, you immediately change to the left, and he also happens to change to the left, and you can't miss it no matter what.
Seeing Lu Yang rushing up, it was absolutely impossible for Audi to dribble the ball forward. He had to kick the football out as quickly as possible, otherwise the ball would probably be snatched away by Lu Yang.
Who among Italian players doesn’t know about Lu Yang’s ability to steal the ball?
Audi passes the ball.
But Lu Yang was one step ahead of him and blocked his passing route, causing Audi to hold back when he released the ball.
In the end, the football crossed Juventus' own goal and fell to the feet of Mancini, who was coming over.
Bernoulini stood up first and got stuck in front of Mancini. Mancini did not have an angle to shoot directly.
Mancini chose to pass the football back across the pitch.
At this time, Lu Yang had already leaned heavily on Audi. While blocking Audi, he ran to the Juventus goal and shot easily.
After the football hit the net, Audi arrived at the scene but it was too late.
The score in this game is one to one, the big score is two to three!
Barcelona recovers a goal!
Audi immediately complained to the referee, believing that Lu Yang had just affected his shot.
However, the referee believed that Audi had just left the small penalty area and was equivalent to a normal player when controlling the ball at his feet. The pressure Lu Yang put on Audi just now was a normal physical confrontation.
Audi couldn't control his emotions, cursed angrily, and then ate the topaz distributed by the referee.
Juventus teammates rushed forward to comfort him, and Audi calmed down.
This is abnormal!
Who is Audi?
The Italian national team will always be the number one national team!
One of the best goalkeepers in the world forever!
Holding countless championships, he has been in charge of Juventus for more than ten years!
Such a leader-level player is unlikely to have much emotional fluctuations on the court.
No one knows why Audi, who has always been calm, suddenly lost his composure.
Only Audi himself knows.
He... didn't want to see Lu Yang score.
Or scared!
Because this nightmare has happened too many times in the past few years.
Once the devil touches the button for the gods to descend to earth, no one can stop him.
Do you think Lu Yang only scored one goal?
No!
Lu Yang just finally found the switch.
