    This game between Liverpool and Barcelona has touched the hearts of thousands of people. Before the game started, celebrities from all walks of life in Barcelona were already sitting in the VIP box. Chinese Consul General in Barcelona Yang Xiong, Mayor of Barcelona Elevu, Spanish women  Stars Pen¨¦lope Cruz, Paz-Vega, Barcelona President Laporta, and Vice Chairman Rosell. However, these two presidents who were exposed to be in conflict were not in a VIP box. Rosell was alone.  A box, and La Porta and Liverpool's new chairman Gillett sat together.  Gillette did not participate in Liverpool's record-breaking Premier League winning streak. Although that game was of great significance, the opponent was very weak. Although Liverpool fans had some complaints, they did not react much. However, if this battle with Barcelona is two  If neither American president comes, I'm afraid Liverpool fans will doubt the purpose of the two Americans acquiring Liverpool.  It was the first time for Gillette to sit in the VIP box as the chairman of a wealthy family. He was a little nervous. Although it was not hot in Barcelona at the moment, he unbuttoned his shirt, took off his coat, and walked out again.  For one lap, compared with the rock-steady Laporta sitting next to him, he was like a young fan watching the home team's game for the first time.  In distant China, Zhang Shubin, Zhang Youzhen and Zhao Muyu have already turned on the TV and are waiting for the start of this game. They have not returned to the UK yet. For the Chinese, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is the New Year, so  It is easy to return to the country once, but it is difficult for them to escape if they want to leave.  At this moment, Chinese football reporters and commentators definitely don¡¯t have time to celebrate the New Year. They came to Barcelona, ??Spain a few days ago, including Gao Fei¡¯s girlfriend Jia Ya, who just took a shot of Chen Yu warming up and spread it through the Internet.  It was given to Gao Fei, and Gao Fei passed it on to the Chinese football forum.  After the famous commentator Huang Jian wanted to leave CCTV, another commentator, He Huihe Poet, gradually took over. Today, he is commentating on the highlight of this event that countless fans are looking forward to.  "Dear fans and friends in front of the TV, now that the players have come out of the locker room, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides: Barcelona's lineup: 1 Valdes; Belletti, 4 Ma  Kos, Puyol, l1 Zambrotta; Motta, Xavi, - Deco; 19 - Messi, - Saviola, 10 - Ronaldinho Liverpool lineup: - Reina; A  Beroa, - Carragher, Agger, Riise; - Sissoko, 14 Helonso, 17 - Bellamy; 8 Gerrard; Chen Yu, 15 - Crouch. Barcelona still has a 433 formation.  However, Eto'o did not appear in the starting lineup, nor did he appear in the substitute lineup. It seems that the bombardment incident has a great impact on Barcelona. The strength of the African Cheetah cannot be underestimated. He is one of the forwards in today's world football.  Ranked in the top five, Liverpool's defenders are strong and tall, but slow. Without Eto'o, Liverpool will definitely have less worries on offense. Liverpool's brawl obviously did not have much impact on the team. Riise.  and Bellamy surprisingly started all the starts, but what is even more surprising is that Arbeloa, who transferred during the winter break, actually appeared in the starting lineup. Before the game, Arbeloa said that he could prevent the youngster from dying.  Ronaldinho, this made the Barcelona people feel very disdainful. Ronaldinho laughed at Arbeloa and said that he should strive to be in the starting lineup first. In fact, Liverpool's right back Finnan is outstanding. If Finnan is not injured, he has not yet been safely integrated into the team.  It is difficult for Arbeloa to get a chance to play, but today, Benitez unexpectedly started Arbeloa and put Finnan on the bench. This is indeed a risky move" Barcelona boss  Coach Rijkaard was also extremely confused. It was no surprise to him that Bellamy and Riise could play. Both of them are indispensable players for Liverpool to beat Barcelona. Bellamy's speed is second to none in Liverpool except Chen Yu.  No one else can match him. Riise is strong, energetic, and has a unique long-range shot. If the two of them cannot play, it will have a great impact on Liverpool, but why does Arbeloa start?  Rijkaard thought about it but couldn't figure out how Arbeloa was better than Finnan. Did he fool Benitez by saying before the game that he could guard against Ronaldinho?  Rijkaard feels that this possibility is very small. The most likely thing is that Benitez thinks that Arbeloa is more familiar with Ronaldinho and bets that Arbeloa can guard Ronaldinho like he did in Deportivo.  However, Rijkaard is not worried. In his heart, Ronaldinho is the best player in the world. He may not perform well in some unimportant games, but in such a Champions League knockout match that attracts worldwide attention, Rijkaard cannot  I think any defender can guard Ronaldinho on his own.  Rijkaard is worried about Chen Yu and Gerrard, these two talents are the most terrifying existences in Liverpool.  Gerrard has tenacious fighting spirit and abundant physical energy. He can become a mainstay in defense and can often break the deadlock in offense. He is definitely a leader player.  Not to mention Chen Yu. In three games with Barcelona, ??Chen Yu scored U goals and snatched a priceless Champions League trophy from Barcelona. It can be said that Chen Yu is Barcelona¡¯s life and death enemy.  Not an exaggeration.  Rijkaard once wanted to poach Chen Yu, but Chen Yu was seriously injured in the final. Barcelona had no choice but to give up, but this is not bad. In any case, this Chinese will not be a trouble for Barcelona anymore, but  Enemies meet on a narrow road, and I didn't expect that the Chinese would once again become a stumbling block on Barcelona's path forward.  Not to mention the resentment in Rijkaard's heart, Liverpool's captain Gerrard and BarcelonaAfter President Puyol exchanged team flags and emblems for a group photo, with the whistle of German referee Fadel, the Champions League quarter-finals officially kicked off.  The first to kick off was the visiting team Liverpool. Liverpool, wearing a white away uniform, had won a record 15 consecutive games in the league. However, in the Champions League knockout round, they did not show their overwhelming momentum in the league.  It shortened the distance between the three lines, started fighting in the midfield, and used long passes to threaten Barcelona's goal.  This tactic is very familiar to Barcelona people. In the group stage, Mourinho's Chelsea used this tactic to defeat Barcelona. Benitez, who is very good at learning and used counterattacks to defeat Barcelona in Valencia, certainly wouldn't do it.  Don¡¯t learn from it.  However, Rijkaard and his players were not afraid. Their opponents defeated them with this move. Of course, they would not fail to study countermeasures. Barcelona's countermeasure was to put two midfielders in front of the central defender to strengthen the defense.  protection, and at the same time strengthen the control of the ball in the midfield and frontcourt, minimize mistakes, and allow the opponent to touch the ball as little as possible. No matter how good the opponent's counterattack is, not every opportunity can score. The less time the opponent has the ball, the better the opponent's counterattack.  The fewer opportunities they get, the fewer opportunities they have to counterattack. This is the essence of Barcelona football. No matter which coach coaches Barcelona, ??possession of the ball is the eternal theme.  Although Liverpool has not played against Barcelona for a long time, there are many players in their team who are familiar with Barcelona, ??including Reina, Garcia, Arbeloa, Chen Yu, and coach Benitez, so Liverpool¡¯s match against Barcelona  The degree of familiarity is definitely the deepest in the Premier League except Chelsea.  After the game started, Liverpool's players cherished every opportunity to have the ball at their feet. They knew that the ball would never stay at their feet for too long.  If they can't seize every opportunity to have the ball, they have no hope of taking a point and an away goal at Camp Nou.  The ball passed from Crouch's feet to Chen Yu's feet, from Chen Yu's feet to Gerrard's feet, and then back to defender Carragher's feet. At this time, three-quarters of Barcelona's players had already pressed half of Liverpool's half.  On the field, Barcelona forwards Saviola and Messi have penetrated deep into Liverpool's penalty area to press.  Saviola and Messi are both Argentine stars and both Golden Globe winners at the World Youth Championship. Their characteristics are also very similar. They are fast, quick with their feet, and have excellent skills. When the two of them press over, Liverpool's players can't help but  If you dare to be careless, Carragher crosses the ball to Arbeloa. Ronaldinho in this position is slower to press, and Ronaldinho doesn't like to defend, so it is much safer here.  Arbeloa boasted before the game. The coach gave him a chance to prove himself. Now his teammates gave him the ball again. Arbeloa didn't want to kick the ball away with a big kick. He saw Ronaldini.  Austria was slowly running forward, pretending to be pressing. Arbeloa boldly pushed the ball behind Ronaldinho and passed Ronaldinho lightly.  Arbeloa's move was very flattering, and the Liverpool fans cheered, but Benitez frowned with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.  Because there is no point in passing the opponent's forward in your own backcourt. You can't form an offense and you can't create a situation of using less to hit more. If the opponent's forward intercepts the ball, a counterattack will immediately form, especially Ronaldinho.  For such a superstar, if the ball is intercepted by him, it will be fatal.  Rijkaard is also a smart coach. He smiled when he saw Arbeloa passing Ronaldinho. He felt that if Arbeloa continued to play like this, the Barcelona players would definitely teach him a profound lesson on high-post pressing.  , no team does better than Barcelona.  The fans obviously didn't think so much. In their opinion, Arbeloa defeated Ronaldinho. Liverpool fans cheered, while Barcelona fans expressed their disgust for Arbeloa with loud boos.
