9/11 terrorist attack

The 2010-2011 season is a season full of crisis for Barcelona.

In the summer of 2009, Florentino entered the palace for the second time, taking over the Bernabeu, and snatched two superstars Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic from Barcelona in one breath. In addition, strong players and stars such as Kaka, Robben, Sneider, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, Real Madrid's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

In the following season, the Galaxy battleships doubled Barcelona and won two heavy championships in La Liga and Champions League in one go, becoming the double champion. This was a very painful blow for Barcelona.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been a pair of enemies who fell in love and killed each other in La Liga.

The Galaxy Battleships were all out of the way, so Barcelona naturally suffered. Chairman Laporta's re-election campaign was defeated in a disastrous defeat. After Rossell took office, he thoroughly investigated the club's finances and corruption, and the team was in a panic for a while.

Throughout the summer of 1920, except for Villa, which Laporta signed during his tenure, Barcelona did not sign another star.

Not only did Fabregas not come, but the forward Guardiola wanted also did not come.

As a result, Guardiola was forced to conduct internal digging, and Pedro began to become a partner of Messi and Villa, forming a trident. At the same time, Guardiola is also actively developing the offensive capabilities of midfielders.

In his third year of coaching, Guardiola began to play the football he wanted in Barcelona, ​​especially after sending away Yaya Toure amid regrets, Barcelona's strategy of fully implementing the pass-by and ball-control style is already very obvious.

Throughout the season, Barcelona's pass and ball control system has reached its historical peak, and it can steadily occupy more than 60% of the ball control rate in almost every game, which has brought huge pressure to the opponent and also made Barcelona as stable as Mount Tai in the league.

So far, Barcelona has played twenty-eight rounds in the league and only lost one game.

But unfortunately, it was precisely the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that was the one that

From summer to the league, Barcelona is full of crisis. On the one hand, it is unfavorable to sign ups and on the other hand, it is facing Real Madrid, which is like a wolf and tiger. In addition, European strong teams are racking their brains to try to restrain Barcelona's pass and ball control style, which makes everyone in the team feel proud and worried.

Especially after losing to Real Madrid in the first national derby.

Fortunately, Yang Yang was injured and missed for more than two months, which caused problems in Real Madrid's offense, which in turn allowed Barcelona to gain enough lead. They even thought that the team was already sure to win.

But unexpectedly, after the winter break, Real Madrid actually played almost crazy, especially after February, the Galaxy battleships played a goal frenzy that even Barcelona was trembling for.

But, Barcelona itself has a crisis.

In the 23rd round of La Liga, Barcelona drew Sporting Gijon 1-1 away, but this is just the beginning.

Three days later, at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, Barcelona lost 1-2 to the Gunners Arsenal.

Wenger's team took the ball with 30% of the ball and beat Barcelona. Although the details are different, they are still the same as those of the previous teams such as Real Madrid and Inter Milan. There is no surprise.

For a moment, everyone in the European football world began to realize that it was time for Barcelona to step down from the altar.

There is still a second leg in the Champions League quarterfinals, but after returning to La Liga, Barcelona's performance did not improve much, especially in the 28th round, he once again encountered a one-to-one draw on the road.

This time the opponent became Sevilla.

Almost the same version, the same way, but the opponent has changed.

From being the leading ten at most to being five points now, Barcelona is under Real Madrid's step-by-step pressure, constantly losing its lead and being forced into a desperate situation.

Media reporters who are afraid of the world will not be in chaos have begun to hype the Barcelona crisis. Many media are even hyping that Barcelona is about to finish this season, it is difficult to turn the Champions League, the league is likely to be reversed by Real Madrid, and even the King's Cup final may lose to their stalemates.

For a moment, the sky at Camp Nou seemed to collapse.

...

As the team's number one superstar, Messi has withstood great pressure.

His performance is outstanding. So far, he has scored twenty-nine goals in the 28 league rounds, six goals in seven Champions League games, and seven goals in the Copa del Rey.

In other words, in the past few months, he has contributed 42 goals to Barcelona alone, which is excellent enough.

But recently, Messi has been under great pressure.

Because he was reversed by Yang Yang.

From leading by nearly twenty goals, to falling behind Yang Yang six goals, Messi felt speechless and depressed. He couldn't understand what kind of opponent was standing in front of him and why could he do such a thing?

Over the years, Messi has always regarded Yang Yang as his lifelong enemy. He regards Yang Yang as his goal and always wants to surpass his opponents. This season is the best opportunity he has thought of.

Although, this seems a bit unfair.

But now, Messi suddenly discovered that even if he took advantage of the situation and won't win, Yang Yang would soon catch him back and even be able to reverse himself at a disadvantage. This made him admire Yang Yang even more and also made him even more depressed.

Is he really no way to defeat Yang Yang?

No! It’s absolutely impossible! There must be a way! There must be a chance!

Messi is no longer a kid who has just begun to emerge in the early years. He is becoming more mature and more tenacious, especially after experiencing the setbacks of last season, he is ushering in the golden years of his career.

He firmly believed that he was the strongest!

The league goals were 35 to 29, and Yang Yang led by six goals.

Judging from the current situation, if Messi wants to reverse, he has to come up with a better and better state.

In the Copa del Rey, both of them scored seven goals, and the key is to see their performance in the last final.

The most important and at the same time the most eye-catching thing is the Champions League.

Messi currently leads the Champions League scorer list with six goals, and Yang Yang has only scored one goal so far because he missed the entire group stage and only played one knockout match.

The Champions League is the most promising to win!

The premise is that Barcelona must continue to move forward and keep moving.

If you want to continue moving forward, you must reverse Arsenal!

Messi must be in a better and more outstanding state, and at the same time, it is also more terrifying!

…………

…………

March 15th, Camp Nou Stadium.

In the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Barcelona faced Arsenal at home.

In the first leg, the Gunners limited Barcelona's shots to single digits with a possession rate of 34%. They finally defeated Barcelona 2-1 at home, which gave Wenger hope and brought confidence to the players.

In the second round, Wenger learned from the first round experience and once again arranged the 4231 tactics.

Arsenal have two important players absent, one is Walcott, who is extremely fast, and the other is Alexander Song, the middle and backcourt defense backbone. Both of these two players played an important role in the first round, and absent have suffered considerable losses to the Gunners, but Barcelona also has many problems.

Captain Puyol was absent due to injury and Pique was suspended. Guardiola also had Yaya Toure in his hands last season, but now, he can only let Busquets retreat to the central defender and partner with Abidal to temporarily piece together a central defender combination.

The midfielder played a combination of Sedo Keita, Xavi and Iniesta.

Wenger was prepared for this. His team was not conservative. After the game, he continued to push the whole line and pressed forward with the defense line. The purpose was to ensure that there was no gap between the lines.

Like the first round, Arsenal's formation is well maintained, the connection is very close, and the pressure on Barcelona is also very effective. It can basically form steals in the frontcourt, or timely interference and delay against the opponent, gain enough time for the midfield and backcourt and organize a tight formation.

Everything on Barcelona is similar to usual, but it may be that Busquets is missing from the midfield today, and the Gunners' pressing force is very strong, so the goal is not smooth, so Messi retreated very deeply and even looks more like a central defender.

Villa and Pedro were forced to push forward in front.

That's what Wenger wants.

It is difficult for Messi, who is surrounded by Arsenal's midfield, to create a threat.

Seeing the game situation moving in the direction he expected, Wenger became more and more confident when he watched the game on the sidelines. Especially when the first half of the game entered stoppage time and the score was still zero to zero, Wenger breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our defense was very successful, and we built an indestructible fortress in front of the goal. Even if we encounter a terrorist attack, we don't have to worry." Wenger said jokingly with assistant coach Pat Rice.

At this time, the first half was already the third minute of stoppage time.

Pat Rice also agrees with this. He has even begun to prepare for halftime break to say something to encourage the Arsenal players who have fought for their lives in the first half.

If the team can eliminate Barcelona and advance, that will be a huge encouragement for Arsenal.

But at this moment, the storm suddenly changed on the court.

Fabregas made a pass mistake and was cut off. Messi dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack, trapped in Arsenal's heavy siege. There were four players around him, but the Argentine superstar suddenly passed the ball to Iniesta and rushed forward quickly.

Iniesta understood it, and kept rubbing the ball directly and passed it to Messi.

The Argentine superstar rushed to the front of the penalty area, facing Iniesta's pick-up pass, and facing Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesni who was attacking, Messi gently picked up his left foot.

The ball gently crossed Szczesny's head and fell into the goal behind him.

At this moment, the game time just jumped into the fifth minute of stoppage time.

In an instant, the entire Camp Nou Stadium went completely crazy!

The stands became a vast ocean, and everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, as if they had been attacked by terrorist attacks.

Messi quickly ran to the sidelines, pointing at Iniesta who assisted him.

At this moment, he transformed into a world-class superstar full of confidence.

Messi!
Chapter completed!
