Episode 185 17-18 Champions League Quarterfinals (1)

If you look at it cynically, the sport of soccer is nothing more than a game of ball between 22 people running back and forth on a grass field.

Still, the reason people are passionate about soccer is because they empathize with the joys and sorrows of the team they support.

Naturally, fans tend to prefer players who show affection for the team.

In the professional world where capital is involved, who would dislike a player who shows loyalty to his team?

However, if affection is excessive, mistakes are bound to happen.

Xavi Hernandez is a representative case.

During his time as a member of the Spanish national team.

There was a media play where Fabregas, who plays for Arsenal, was wearing a Barcelona uniform and said that he had Barcelona DNA.

Season 12-13.

After the 7-0 defeat to Munich in the Champions League, there was an interview saying that we should not only focus on the result, but also look at the content of the game, such as possession rate.

Xavi has never been one to hide his pride in being from Barcelona.

This didn’t stop even after retirement.

In 2016, when Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in the league and to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, he caused controversy by saying, “Madrid teams play like small clubs.”

It wasn’t strange that Sabi rushed to Hyunwoo’s words.

‘Moderation is important for everything.’

Hyunwoo didn’t take this seriously.

Because it was not so much a slip of the tongue as the English press simply coming up with a sensational headline.

But Sabi’s thoughts seemed to be different.

“On par with Mourinho’s Inter Milan treble. There was no strong competition in the league…

“If he had faced Barcelona at the time he was there, Barnett would have failed to lift the Big Ears.”

Have you made up your mind?

In a second interview, Sabi escalated his criticism of Barnett.

It was only natural that the media rushed to cover this interview.

In a situation where even diehard Barcelona fans were like, ‘Ah. This is a bit…’

It was only natural that his remarks became a hot topic on the Internet.

―Barnet won against Juventus, who beat Barcelona… Isn’t it a fact that Barnet is a stronger team?

― 16-17 season. Teams that Barnett beat. AT Madrid, Real Madrid. These guys are just La Liga killers.

– Why is that? I think Sabi’s argument has some merit. Barnett prefers counterattacks, so they are not a team with a relatively high possession rate. If you use Courtesy’s logic, they are not a strong team.

– Ah, then I guess I admit it lol.

– Coincidentally, both teams are undefeated in the league.

― Barcelona’s performance is disappointing, but they somehow manage to win.

– But why is Kim Hyun-woo just sitting there? Isn’t he originally a mouth fighter?

– The article came out a few hours ago.

– Really? Give me a link.

― I interpreted the original text. ‘Xavi Hernandez is the best player. If he is, then it makes sense.’

― Hahahaha, you’re good at spinning.

― I would like to see Barcelona and Barnett face off in the Champions League.

― I think they’ll both advance to the round of 16 without any problems since they won the first leg. But in the end, it’s a draw.

“What kind of kid is that?”

Kimihi running wild for a long time.

He must have felt a great sense of betrayal, as he had always named Schweinsteiger and Xavi as the people he admired.

Hyunwoo restrained Kimihi from doing that.

“Ignore it. That doesn’t take away from the fact that we won the treble.”

Everyone’s thoughts are different.

However, it was also the manager’s role to manage his team’s players so that they did not cause any problems.

Hyunwoo tries to stop the players who were provoked by Sabi’s remarks from being interviewed.

‘That’s just the way he is. I can’t help but think that way.’

“Focus on the game in front of you right now.”

Although the gruelling schedule was over, Barnett still had quite a few games to play.

Since the undefeated championship was not broken, they had to focus on the league matches, the FA Cup remained, and the Champions League had to be played.

Fortunately, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 was ahead.

Having won 3-0 at home against FC Porto, we can say that we have some room for improvement in the second leg?

“Still, you must not let your guard down.”

Although Hyunwoo highly regards Barnett’s abilities, the Champions League is by no means an easy stage.

Because it was a league where upsets occurred frequently due to the nature of the tournament.

With such thorough preparation.

FC Porto’s home stadium. Barnet FC heading to Estádio do Dragao.

Hyunwoo paused after checking the opponent’s starting lineup.

“huh?”

Contrary to expectations that they would use their best players, FC Porto used a large number of reserve players.

Hyunwoo, who was trying to figure out the reason, realized one thing.

‘It looks like FC Porto is in a hurry for the league too.’

Last season.

FC Porto sent manager Nuno Santo to Wolves and appointed Conceição as manager.

They were undefeated at the start of the season and were in good form in the league, but there was one team that stood in their way: De Zerbi’s Braga.

‘The two teams are tied with three points.’

Braga are in second place with Bruno Fernandes and De Ligt on loan from Barnet.

It must have been a conflict for FC Porto.

It’s a question of whether to give it your all in the unlikely second leg of the Champions League or focus on the league.

‘It looks like you’ve chosen a league.’

Although he couldn’t help but laugh at the situation where he could eat up the Champions League, Hyunwoo tried hard to control his expression.

Because the players must not let their guard down even a little bit.

“Don’t underestimate the opponents just because they aren’t the starting players. That kind of mindset is what made Xavi Hernandez who he is today.”

“Yes, Coach!”

Players leave the locker room with renewed determination.

Hyunwoo followed them with a relaxed mind.

“great job.”

Hyunwoo patted Salah on the back as he was substituted out.

The score was already 7:0.

He used a lot of substitution cards and gave rest to the starting players.

‘I should call Director De Zerbi to thank him.’

Of course, even if we had gone head-on, I didn’t think the Barnett players would lose.

Thanks to this, we were able to successfully manage the physical strength of the players.

The game that follows.

Coach Conceicao was also conscious of the crushing defeat at home. He made changes by substituting some players.

The Porto players were clearly losing their fighting spirit due to the gap that had already widened too much.

Thanks to this, Barnet FC achieved a comfortable victory and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

The teams that will advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League have been revealed.

― FC Barcelona

– Real Madrid CF

– Seville

―Barnet FC

– Manchester City

– Juventus

― AS Roma

– Bayern Munich

Excluding Manchester United, who lost to Sevilla, the evaluation is that all the teams that could have advanced have advanced.

As the draw date approaches.

Hyeonwoo, sitting in front of the TV with the coaches, secretly hoped to take it easy.

‘Sevilla… AS Roma.’

Of course, that doesn’t mean those teams are easy.

It was true that the weight was lower compared to other teams.

Hyunwoo and the coaches were watching the draw with anxious hearts.

[Barcelona FC’s opponent is…Barnet FC.]

“Huh.”

Niki covered her mouth with her hand.

“Should I call this a blessing?”

Considering that Real Madrid was one of the clubs in Team 1.

The worst has been avoided, but it’s still a bit too ambiguous to just laugh about.

“It’s better this way.”

The goalkeeper coach who was next to me.

Harry jumped to his feet.

As a native of Barnett who has a deep affection for the team, he was unhappy with recent events.

“The local fans’ perception of Barcelona was already bad because of Xavi’s comments, so now is the time to destroy it.”

“Hmm. Of course, it’s true that Neymar’s departure to PSG weakened our team’s power… But still, it’s Barcelona.”

The moment when all the coaches’ eyes are focused on Hyunwoo after hearing the worried words of Nicky Burt.

“It might not be bad.”

“yes?”

All the coaches who heard Hyunwoo’s muttering doubted their ears.

Although there has been criticism of manager Valverde’s frustrating tactics, Barcelona is undefeated in the league and has continued to cruise in other competitions.

“That’s actually a good thing.”

“?”

“Unlike us who rotate the players frequently, Barcelona is overworking their starters.”

“Well… I guess so.”

The coaches nodded heavily.

Didn’t Barnett receive similar criticism?

It was common for teams that won the treble to underperform in the following season.

It was widely known that playing too many games affected players’ performance.

If Barnett hadn’t had thick depth and rotation, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had collapsed a long time ago.

Above all, Hyunwoo knew.

Barcelona collapsed after meeting AS Roma.

‘There is even a saying, ‘chicken instead of pheasant.’

“I can’t fight against Sabi… so I’ll just destroy his pride.”

Hyunwoo’s eyes glowed gloomily as he spoke like that.

* * *

Champions League quarter-finals, first leg.

The citizens of Barcelona welcomed the Barnett players in their own way.

Woohoo――

Amidst the pouring boos.

Hyunwoo called the players together.

“After today’s match, Barcelona will raise its glasses.”

“yes?”

The players are noisy.

Hyunwoo waited for a moment for silence and then continued speaking.

“They’ll probably say something like, ‘We lost the game, but we won the possession, so let’s have a drink.’”

Laughter came out of some players’ mouths.

Hyunwoo continues talking without paying attention.

“On the other hand, we will be bathing in champagne in a stadium that is as quiet as a library. No drinking. Unlike them, we have to prepare for the quarterfinals.”

“I don’t need market share or anything. I only want one thing. Victory.”

Hyunwoo stretched his hand toward the center to shout a slogan.

“Don’t be discouraged, have fun. Who do you think is the defending champion?”

“We are Barnet!”
