Chapter 275 The last championship of the top five leagues - the Champions League!

At Wembley Stadium, the first half of the game was over.

Manchester City temporarily leads Hull City 3:0.

The third goal came in the 37th minute of the first half, when Yaya Toure's long-range shot helped the team further expand the score.

During the half-time break, Manchester City players returned to the locker room all talking and laughing. The team's lead was too big and the opponents were far weaker than them.

If they hadn't popped the champagne at halftime, they would have most likely won the game.

"Have you received the training notice from the national team?"

As the World Cup is approaching, more and more topics among the players in the locker room are beginning to be related to the World Cup.

"I got it. There shouldn't be anyone in our team who didn't get it, right?"

"Haha, the main players should have been called up by the national team, but it's hard to say about the substitutes. For example, it's not that easy for several favorites to win the championship to get into the national team!"

There are many Spanish players in Manchester City, and there are too many big-name Spanish stars.

This makes it extremely difficult to enter the final 23-man roster. Players like Xavi Garcia, Negredo, Navas and others are likely to be eliminated.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Everyone, tell me, which national team do you think will win the championship?"

Captain Kompany felt the disappointment of the players who were not selected, so he quickly changed the subject and found a new topic that everyone was interested in.

"Haha, I'm optimistic about the Three Lions!"

As a British, Milner unsurprisingly chose to support his homeland.

"Forget about the British team. Their lineup looks second-rate!"

Other teammates expressed disdain for Milner's words. The 23-man squad of the British team has been announced.

Compared with top teams like Spain, many of the international players selected for the English national team come from ordinary Premier League teams, and the players' value alone cannot be compared with that of the Spanish team.

"How about Germany? I feel like Germany is pretty strong this year!"

It wasn't Kroos who spoke; he was usually the quietest person in the dressing room.

"They are quite strong, the team is relatively young, and the German team's draw is also good. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to enter the semi-finals. It's hard to say whether we can win the championship, it all depends on luck!"

"Haha, have you all forgotten about the European Red Devils Belgium? Belgium is one of the top teams in Europe!"

"Haha, Belgium has a good lineup, but forget about the first tier. Who takes it seriously?"

Of the eight seeded teams in the 2014 World Cup, four are from Europe and four are from South America.

The four seeded teams in South America are worthy of their names: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia. They are indeed the four strongest teams.

But whether the four European teams deserve to be in the first tier is a matter of opinion.

Naturally, everyone has no objection to the fact that Spain and Germany are ranked first in Europe. One of these two teams is the champion of the previous World Cup, and the other is one of the top four teams in the previous World Cup. Their performance in recent years is obvious to all. They are the favorites to win this World Cup.

But everyone has strong opinions about the other two teams - Belgium and Switzerland.

France and Italy were placed in the third or even fourth tier, which made people scoff at the rating of this World Cup.

Can Belgium and Switzerland say they can beat France and Italy? Belgium has a strong squad, with players such as Courtois, Kompany, De Bruyne, Fellaini, Dembele, Hazard and Lukaku.

But these people are too young, and it will take some time before we can rely on them to build an empire.

What's more, they don't have many championships in their team history. They didn't even make it past the qualifiers for the last World Cup in South Africa. In terms of foundation, they are far inferior to championship teams such as Italy and France.

"The South American teams are quite strong this year. Plus, this is their home ground, so maybe they will take the championship!"

After evaluating the strong European teams, everyone evaluated the four strong teams in South America.

During the entire discussion, there was a team that was clearly the elephant in the room, but it was ignored by everyone intentionally or unintentionally and was not mentioned at all.

Lin Quan listened to everyone's discussion and felt a little amused.

Just don't discuss Spain, right?

It seems that Spain's dominance in recent years has left a very deep ideological imprint on everyone, making them subconsciously develop a fear of the West.

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly and the two sides changed sides to continue the second half.

Pellegrini did not make any adjustments to the technical and tactical play during the half-time break, but only reminded the players to pay attention to their movements on the field to avoid injuries.

In a week they will go to the Luz Stadium in Lisbon to compete with Atletico Madrid for the Champions League title. They must not get injured at this time, as injuries may cause them lifelong regrets.

The situation of the game was similar to that in the first half. Manchester City firmly grasped the initiative on the field and slowly strangled the opponent like a frog in boiling water.

Hull City played extremely passively, their offense was ineffective and they were easily counterattacked by the opponent.

The defense was a little exhausted and could not keep up with Manchester City's extremely fast pace of the game.

This kind of competition makes them feel desperate and suffocated.

At the Camp Nou, Barcelona fans were also suffocating.

In the 49th minute, Atletico Madrid tenaciously equalized the score, causing the smile on Barcelona's faces that had only lasted for more than 30 minutes to freeze.

The score was tied, which meant that the three points and the championship trophy that Barcelona had obtained would fly away! At the moment of the goal, Camp Nou was in a dead silence, and the faces of Barcelona fans were full of shock and astonishment, and it was obvious that they could not accept such an outcome.

On the sidelines, Martino was completely panicked.

He hurriedly made substitutions in a short period of time, trying to re-establish the lead.

But Simeone's Atletico Madrid was like a wall of sighs, stubbornly blocking them and causing them to crash their heads and bleed, but they never got what they wanted.

Messi also seemed a little anxious. He seldom took on defensive tasks, and he even received a yellow card for pulling someone during a scramble.

Messi's resurgence has given hope to Barcelona fans at Camp Nou.

This is a player who has created countless miracles. They believe in Messi unconditionally and firmly believe that he can lead the team to victory!

“Messi!”

“Messi!”

Barcelona fans shouted Messi's name in unison, as if putting all their hopes on Messi.

Messi felt a lot of pressure and he played very aggressively, sparing no effort in passing, receiving the ball, running and breaking through in the frontcourt.

But Atletico's defense is so strong that even a player as strong as Messi can only fail time and time again.

The game time was consumed bit by bit, and the situation on the field was still unfavorable to Barcelona.

Their anxious attack failed to break the deadlock, and instead the opponent took advantage of their counterattacks to launch several extremely threatening attacks.

For this reason, defensive players such as Pique, Busquets, Mascherano, etc. had to use tactical fouls to stop the opponent.

And they also received the punishment they deserved, and the camera was shown a yellow card by the referee.

In the 77th minute, Martino glanced at the bench and made the last substitution of the game.

He brought on 34-year-old veteran Xavi to replace Fabregas.

Fabregas walked off the court dejectedly, and seemed to have forgotten to high-five Xavi.

He chose to heed Barcelona's call and return to play for the Red and Blue Army, not only because he had La Masia blood flowing in his veins, but also because the Barcelona team at that time was very strong and dominated Europe.

He was the captain of Arsenal, but Arsenal had no championship every year and there were no major moves in recruiting players, which made Fabregas feel that there was no future in staying in Arsenal.

When he chose to join Barcelona, ​​Barcelona had won the Champions League twice in three years and was once called the Cosmopolitan Team. Its career prospects were many times ahead of Arsenal! However, the good times did not last long. Not long after he arrived, the club was in turmoil due to changes in the top management, and the meritorious coach Guardiola left.

After Guardiola left, Vilanova was a very suitable successor, but as things happen unexpectedly, the latter had to step down as a coach due to cancer.

In three years, Barcelona has changed three head coaches.

Naturally, the team's record was greatly affected. In three years, he only helped the team win one league championship and one King's Cup championship. This record was far worse than a few years ago.

This Barcelona is exactly the same as the Arsenal team he chose to leave, so desperate that he sees no hope.

Should he continue to stay in Barcelona and fight for the Red and Blue Army? Fabregas's belief began to waver. The strong impulse to fight for Barcelona had been worn away by the years.

I looked back at my teammates on the field and at the familiar Camp Nou stadium.

Fabregas made a decision at this moment: he will leave Barcelona after the World Cup!

Xavi and other Barcelona players did not know the decision Fabregas had just made. After he came on the court, he focused all his energy on attacking.

As a 34-year-old veteran, Xavi is well aware that his days at Barcelona are already entering the countdown.

Before leaving, he hopes to win more honors for the team.

Moreover, this is the Camp Nou. Any Barcelona fan must defend the dignity of the Camp Nou to the death!

He will never allow Atletico to win the trophy at Camp Nou!

Xavi's physical strength was not enough to support him to play the whole game, but he was substituted in the 77th minute and only had to deal with less than 30 minutes of the game. For Xavi, physical strength was not a problem at all.

The appearance of their old partner made both Iniesta and Messi feel relieved.

With Xavi, they can play more comfortably.

Influenced by this, Barcelona gradually improved in offense, and their offense became more and more threatening to Atletico's goal.

On the long side, Simeone narrowed his eyes slightly.

As a coach who started out as a defensive midfielder, he admires Xavi very much.

It is truly commendable to be able to have such performance at this age, and he has played for one team throughout his entire career. He also admires this one-man-one-city spirit.

However, this is a professional arena, and it is a decisive battle to determine the winner of the La Liga championship.

No matter how much he admired Harvey, he would never show any mercy to him.

Thinking of this, Simeone quickly made personnel adjustments and arranged people to specifically guard and restrict Xavi.

This adjustment quickly produced results. After Boyd came on the court, he didn't have to do anything. He just acted like a sticky candy and stuck to Harvey.

Xavi is getting older, and his physical confrontation ability and ability to break away from defense have declined.

With Boyd's interference, it became increasingly difficult for Harvey to perform.

Without Xavi, the dealer, Barcelona's attack, which had finally started to pick up, was extinguished again.

In the end, at the end of the game, Barcelona, ​​playing at home, was reversed by Atletico Madrid and handed over the championship trophy to the opponent.

The moment the whistle sounded, Atletico Madrid fans cheered and celebrated wildly at the Camp Nou.

This is their first league title in 18 years, and coincidentally, the person who helped Atletico Madrid win the trophy again after 19 years was Simeone who was standing on the sidelines.

Simeone, the young football coach who has just started coaching, has proved his coaching ability at Atletico Madrid.

It is also from this moment that La Liga will change from a situation where two strong teams compete for supremacy in the Spanish Super League to a three-way competition among Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

And his Atletico Madrid has gradually risen to become a top team that cannot be ignored in the five major leagues.

Now, there is only one last game left in front of them - the Champions League final! If Simeone's Atletico can win this game, they will become a legend in Europe!

…

Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded at Camp Nou, the halftime whistle at Wembley Stadium also sounded.

The score on the big screen was frozen at 6:0!

There is no doubt that it was a massacre, and a massacre in the final.

This is the biggest final margin in FA Cup history, equalling the record set in Bury against Derby County in 1902-03.

In that game, Derby County also defeated their opponent with a score of 6:0.

Looking at this desperate score, Hull City players were all dejected. They tried almost everything, but all failed.

This score is a true reflection of the strength of both sides, and they lost with all their heart.

The moment the half-time whistle blew, Manchester City players rushed onto the field and cheered and celebrated together.

This is their third trophy in the Premier League this season, second only to the league championship trophy.

The Wembley stands have turned into a blue ocean, and the song "We Are the Champions" by Queen resounds through the sky.

The award ceremony stage was quickly set up, and officials from the English Football Association and Prince William of the British royal family came to the scene in person to present medals and trophies to the winning Manchester City players.

"Lin, your performance is great, I am your fan!"

When presenting the award to Lin Quan, Prince William said to him with a smile.

"Thank you for your compliment. Since you are my fan, I will give you an autograph!"

"Oh? Okay, but I didn't bring any paper or pen!"

Before Prince William finished speaking, he saw Lin Quan take the game ball that he had used to complete his hat trick, quickly signed his name on it, and then handed it to him.

"I wonder if His Royal Highness is satisfied with this signature?"

Prince William was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Of course I am satisfied, thank you, Lin, I would like to treat you to a meal if there is a chance, I hope you won't refuse!"

Lin Quan scored a hat trick in the final, so he can take the ball away.

However, he gave the ball to Prince William, who felt the weight of the gift.

Lin Quan naturally would not refuse Prince William's kindness.

Having already won three championships, Manchester City players celebrated in a restrained manner.

Their minds have all been focused on the Champions League trophy! Only when they get that trophy will they really have a big celebration! (End of this chapter)
