Episode 187 17-18 Champions League Quarterfinals (3)
[Wilson catches the ball and goes to the halfway line.]
[That’s unusual. Usually, it’s done by the losing team?]
[Does that mean you’re really focused on the game? Maybe.]
― BOOOOO~
― How is your mother? (Is your mother well?)
– Show respect to the opposing team!
The Currys react violently as Wilson catches the ball and runs.
They must be feeling it too.
That Barnett is looking down on Barcelona.
Of course, the Barcelona players playing on the field could not have been unaware of this.
Choaaaak―
“Ugh.”
[Roberto fouls Salah.]
[Wasn’t that an unnecessary tackle just now? The game is heating up, we need to be a little more calm.]
“It’s going according to plan.”
Hyunwoo nodded to Burt’s words.
When you are provoked by an opponent.
On the contrary, there are players who calm down and become more aware.
However, this was a very small number of cases.
Most of them can’t control their excitement and end up playing roughly.
And this can only be fatal for Barcelona, which mainly plays passing plays.
The most important thing when developing a game with a rear-based build-up is to maintain composure even under pressure from the opposing players.
“Calm down. It’s the opponent’s trick!”
Coach Valverde asked his players to remain calm, but it’s not easy for men who boil over small things to calm down.
Furthermore, Barnett players, who received instructions from Hyunwoo, intentionally induced fouls to heat up the game.
‘Mourinho’s Real Madrid also often played like this against Barcelona.’
Of course, Barcelona at the time was so strong that such tricks wouldn’t work. But not anymore.
Since the mid-10s.
Hyunwoo believes that this mental factor is a significant part of the reason Barcelona became a miracle machine.
In fact, Barcelona has had many cases of sudden collapse in away games or when conceding a goal.
The Barnett players faithfully carried out Hyunwoo’s demands. This had an immediate effect.
Choaak!
Beep-
Rakitic continues to make rough tackles as if he is venting his frustration at being tormented by Kante.
Hyunwoo looked at Kante with a worried look as he didn’t wake up for a while.
The referee decided that there was a high degree of intentionality and gave a yellow card.
Kante gets up right away after shaking himself off.
“Kante! Are you sick anywhere?”
“Yes, sir.”
Hyunwoo felt relieved as he looked at Kante’s shy smile.
‘It’s going too easily?’
Even Hyunwoo didn’t know that things would work out as planned.
A situation where Rakitic and Sergio, who played as two volantes, collected yellow cards.
Now, the two, conscious of the red card, will have no choice but to defend passively.
“Actively attack the opposing midfielder!”
And Hyunwoo wasn’t the one to leave this alone.
26 minutes in the first half.
Barcelona got the ball after a long time.
Knock knock knock
They tried to draw in the opposing players by exchanging low and quick horizontal passes, which are characteristic of tiki-taka.
The Barnett players remained calm and maintained their 4-4-2 formation.
Bam-
Iniesta’s sharp through pass reached Suarez’s toes, but the ball went straight towards the goalkeeper.
“Quick attack!”
Barnett immediately counterattacked.
The Barnet players quickly crossed the halfway line, passing in the order of Alisson, Van Dijk, Kimmich, Kante, and Kimmich.
It would have been possible to stop the attack by grabbing the uniform, but Rakitic hesitated after receiving a yellow card.
De Bruyne entered the final third and connected with Kimmich’s pass with a non-stop mid-range shot.
[De Bruyne!!]
[Here we go! Barnet’s key player who finishes with a cannonball-like shot. It’s De Bruyne!]
[The score is 2:0. Barcelona is falling apart. They are not putting up much of a fight!]
Leaving Barcelona players behind, staring blankly at the goal net.
De Bruyne leisurely approached the goal, picked up the ball and ran to the halfway line.
As if there was still a lot of time left.
The match between the two teams, which ended the first half with a score of 2:0, soon entered the second half.
Barcelona did not sit still either.
The moment Barnett came down to manage his stamina.
Barcelona is actively trying to attack the right flank.
Messi proved his worth with his play.
He beat Kimmich with a phantom dribble and then created a killer pass between Van Dijk and Rudiger to score the goal that Suarez was chasing.
Barnett then widened the gap again when Salah finished off De Bruyne’s low cross.
Then, in the second half, 23 minutes in.
An event occurred that determined the outcome of the game.
“Loser son.”
“….”
Rudiger and Suarez continued to clash in today’s match.
Rudiger faithfully followed Hyunwoo’s instructions to provoke the opposing player.
“You ran away from Liverpool and now you’re happy being Messi’s brat?”
“Shut up.”
Suarez, who had experience in the Premier League, tried to ignore him as much as possible, but Rudiger’s mouth would not stay still for a moment.
“That guy. He doesn’t think about staying with the team and leading them to victory. But what can we do? The treble is ours this season.”
“How about changing your nationality to Argentina while you’re at it? Don’t you think Argentina has a better chance of winning the World Cup than Uruguay? Oh, is that hard to do? Even Messi couldn’t do it. Our Germany did it.”
“….”
That’s because they were covered by their uniforms. Their bodies were not clean.
Whenever they got the chance, they pinched each other’s nipples and thighs.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s corner kick situation.
Lie―
Rudiger jumped over Suarez as he jumped up to contest the ball in the air.
Iron Flute―
Suarez’s gaze, filled with anger at the deliberate physical fight, turned to Rudiger’s shoulder.
“yes-”
“Eww!”
Rudiger falls down screaming.
A clear scar remained on the back of his neck.
The captains of both teams rushing forward.
“Did you just see that? This is a red card feeling.”
“I’m sorry. My child has a habit of biting…. He won’t do it again. As a warning, I’ll give him a yellow card…”
The referee, who was examining Rudiger’s neck, shook his head and took out the card.
A red card following a yellow card.

It was a direct exit.
[Ah… Suarez gets sent off.]
[In this case, Barcelona will be at a numerical disadvantage.]
[We are behind 3:1. Furthermore, if this happens, Suarez will not be able to play in the second match.]
‘It’s over.’
Hyunwoo covered his mouth with his hand in a situation where laughter came out naturally.
‘It looks like Rudiger has been quite a hit.’
This isn’t the first or second time that Suarez has bitten a player.
I thought things had been quiet since I went to Barcelona.
I never thought my Dracula instinct would kick in in such an important match.
Above all, it was a big deal that Suarez was unable to play in the second match.
Barcelona had no one to replace him.
“Now the opponent has to play with 10 men, right? Raise the line again and press on!”
Barnet FC attacked Barcelona’s goal by raising the line extremely for the remaining 20 minutes.
And when the game was over.
The scoreboard read 5:1.
* * *
Barnett’s home.
The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at Wembley Stadium.
“….”
Xavi, who was watching the game from the VIP seats, was unable to say anything.
‘How did it end up like this?’
Clearly Barcelona’s form has been good this season.
Although they struggled a bit in the beginning, they were undefeated in the league.
Despite having a thin squad depth, they won both the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
That is why Xavi Hernandez believed that he would achieve the third treble, something no other club had ever achieved.
His faith was shattered.
Barnet FC 4 : 0 FC Barcelona.
The combined score is 9:1.
37 minutes have passed in the second half.
It seemed impossible for Barcelona to turn things around.
Moreover, there was another reason why Sabi was speechless.
Barnet FC brought out Rodri and Kimmich to Volante in today’s match.
They dominated the game with passing play reminiscent of Barcelona’s tiki-taka.
Of course, the reason this is possible is because of the great victory in the first match.
From Barcelona’s point of view, they had to press and win the ball back from Barnett.
‘but….’
Would you believe me if I said that Barnett’s play reminded you of old Barcelona?
Barnet’s midfield of Rodri, Kimmich and De Bruyne skillfully passed the ball around and controlled the tempo of the game.
A different look from the traditional, practical Barnett play.
It was as if he was talking to Sabi.
It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that I just don’t do it.
On the other hand, Barcelona players looked visibly hesitant.
It was unfamiliar to lose market share.
Barnett’s midfielders effortlessly peeled off Barcelona’s clumsy pressing, scattering fang-like forward passes.
Salah, Vardy and Wilson, who received this, attacked Barcelona’s soft back space.
“Sabi.”
David Villa, who came to watch the game together, called out to Xavi.
“Let’s go now.”
“….”
“You know that you can’t win. If you go out late and meet the Barnett fans, there’s going to be chaos. They’re waiting for you because of the interview.”
Sabi, who had been standing there like a stone statue for a while, asked Biya.
“If I hadn’t opened my mouth….”
“hmm?”
“Would Barnett have played so mercilessly?”
“well.”
Villa, who had been staring at Barnett’s manager for a while at Xavi’s question, shook his head.
“I don’t think so. Think of the boss (Guardiola).”
“….”
“I felt it the moment I saw him. He is crazy about soccer. Who could be more normal than someone who reached the top of the soccer world at such a young age?”
Xavi chuckled as he thought of Guardiola.
“I see.”
“Yeah. I think Kim was planning on going against Barcelona from the beginning. And then you took the bait.”
Sabi looked up at the sky in silence for a while.
The gloomy London weather seemed to reflect his mood.
‘I will definitely repay this score someday.’
Analyzing and breaking down Kim’s tactics.
He vowed to take revenge as a director.
* * *
Barnet FC advance to the semi-finals after beating Barcelona.
The Champions League semi-finals are soon taking shape.
― AS Roma
– Real Madrid
– Bayern Munich
― FC Barnett
‘Hmm.’
Hyunwoo swallows dry saliva.
Of course, there are no easy opponents when you’ve made it to the semifinals.
Wouldn’t it be easier to face a relatively weak team?
But heaven failed his expectations.
― FC Bayern Munich VS Barnet FC
– Real Madrid CF VS AS Roma
‘The team I least want to be with has been caught.’
Hyunwoo, who checked the draw, took off his hat.
If it were early in the season, it probably wouldn’t have been a big problem.
At the time, Ancelotti, who was in charge of Munich, was causing divisions among the players.
However, the current manager of Bayern Munich is a legendary manager who is only the third manager in Munich.
It was Jupp Heynckes.
