Chapter 183: Earth Defense War (2)

On the evening of April 2nd in Spain local time, the first leg of the 2012/13 Champions League quarter-finals will start at the Nou Camp Stadium.
In the visiting team locker room, Lee Chenglong, as the team's current backbone, had to stand up and cheer for the team.
"I believe everyone knows the importance of this game."
"Now on the Camp Nou stadium outside, there are 100,000 people waiting for us. They are all waiting to see our jokes and waiting to see us being massacred."
"And we only have 18 people now, we only have 18 people in the Nou Camp, but what I want to tell everyone is—"
"I don't want to be massacred!!"
"No one is born to win, and no one is born to be slaughtered!"
"Now, today, we are going to use 18 people to fight against their 100,000 people. We are the Barcelona people who are here called TM and are beautiful!"
"Everyone believes in me. Only when we each do what we should do, we all work hard."
"Then after two hours, I promise that all of us will walk out of the Nou Camp with our heads high and let the world know who we are."
"At that time, they will know who Bruce Lee is, who is Draxler, who is Uchida Atsushi, who is Matip..."
"In short, tonight, we want to let them know who each of us is and what TM football is!! Football in the Ruhr area!!!"

When the time was approaching 8:45 in the evening, Schalke and Barcelona began to lead the caddy to play.
Barcelona fans on the scene also began to cheer loudly, cheering for their home team Barcelona.
In the stands of the Camp Nou, Barcelona fans even played the banner of "Messi scored five goals".
The last time Barcelona met a German team at home was the Champions League round of 16 and Bayer Leverkusen last season. In that game, Messi completed a record of five goals in a single game.
Now that they meet Schalke 04, who is also a German team, they may feel that Messi's opportunity has come again.
At this time, commentators from various countries began to talk about the upcoming game.
"The current lineups of the two teams are not complete. The home team Barcelona can be said to be injured. Their captain Puyol, Adriano and Pedro, all three of them are missing due to injuries, and Xavi and Al Barcelona has just returned from injury. Even Barcelona coach Vilanova has just returned after undergoing cancer treatment in the United States."
"The visiting team Schalke 04, they are the main center Huntelaar missing due to injury, which is also a huge loss for them, especially when the thickness of the lineup is not comparable to Barcelona."
"The two teams are not at the same level in terms of their strengths or the historical results of the Champions League."
"Schalke 04 has only reached the Champions League semi-finals once in team history, and Barcelona, ​​they have reached the Champions League semi-finals for five consecutive seasons since the start of the 07/08 season."
"It is worth mentioning that in the 07/08 season of the Champions League, Barcelona entered the semi-finals after they eliminated Schalke 04 in the quarterfinals. Since then, they have begun their journey to the Champions League semi-finals for five consecutive years."
During the commentator's discussion, the two teams also set up their formation on the court.
Schalke 04 is still the familiar 4231 formation:
Goalkeeper: Hildebrand;
Defenders: Fox, Matip, Hewedes, Uchida Atsushi;
Midfielder: Kanter, Neustadt;
Midfielder: Bastos, Draxler, Jackie Lee;
Forward: Macari.
Relying on his recent outstanding performance, Kanter is now almost the team's main midfielder. This game he was arranged to target Barcelona's midfielder Harvey.
Huntelaar was sidelined due to injury and was started by Romanian Macari.
Barcelona is their 433 formation that has remained unchanged for thousands of years:
Goalkeeper: Valdes;
Defenders: Alba, Pique, Mascherano, Alves;
Midfielder: Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets;
Forwards: Villa, Messi, Sanchez.
There are also important players who are missing, Barcelona have substitutes, and Schalke 04 will not work.
"Following the opening whistle of England referee Kratenberg, this Schalke 04 challenged Barcelona to defend the earth and officially started..."
At the beginning of the game, Barcelona launched a strong attack at home, directly impacting Schalke 04's defense.
In the 4th minute, Messi broke through the wing and passed back. Iniesta volleyed with his right foot in front of the penalty area, but the ball was obviously hit high.
In the 7th minute, Sanchez made a cross from the wing. Busquets left Neustedt and shot a long shot. The ball was also confiscated by Hildebrand.
"Forcing~~~Forcing them!!"
"Don't let them pass the ball easily!!"
Although he said a lot of morale-boosting words before the game, Li Chenglong found that his teammates were still playing a little nervously, or some stage fright, so he had to shout to remind his teammates on the court.
Barcelona is indeed going downhill, but Schalke just kicked so coyly. Without showing up, it is absolutely impossible for them to be their opponents. Maybe they will really suffer a massacre.
Li Chenglong felt that he needed to quickly find opportunities to perform and instill confidence in the team.
And just as he thought about it, the opportunity came.
In the 12th minute, Harvey finally got rid of Kanter's entanglement and sent a good through ball. Messi took the ball in the penalty area and shot directly.
But his shot was weaker, and Hildebrand easily took the ball off and counterattacked with a big foot.
As soon as Hildebrand took the ball, Li Chenglong immediately began to rush forward, resisting Iniesta in the middle circle, lifting the right foot to unload the ball, and then wading the ball to accelerate.
When he came to the front scene and confronted Pique, Li Chenglong first sank his left shoulder, and walked to the left, forcing Pique to move to the left. Li Chenglong pushed the ball back outside the instep and accelerated from the right.
After Pique, Alba and Mascherano both rushed over to make up for, but Li Chenglong hit a time difference. First he accelerated to a certain distance with Albara, and then UU read www.uukanshu.com in Maschera. Before Nuo arrived, he swayed his legs sideways, pushed hard under his feet, and the ball bypassed Mascherano's head and flew behind the goal.
Before, Jackie Lee and the Romanian Macari were at the forefront, and they rushed forward together when they counterattacked. Lee Chenglong was naturally paying attention to the opponent's running position.
After Li Chenglong broke through and attracted a lot of defense, he then picked the ball and passed it. Makari just ran to the position, raised his foot and gently padd it, and the ball flew into the opponent's goal.
"Gooooooooooal~~~~~~" The moment the ball flew into the goal, the commentators from various countries roared in disbelief.
"Schalke~~~~Schalke~~~~ They scored a goal!!!"
"Quick counter-attack goal, a very beautiful counter-attack goal. Bruce Lee sent a nanny-style assist after passing through the counter-attack. Romanian striker Makari scored the goal!"
"Schalke actually took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal at the Nou Camp, it's incredible, it's amazing."
After scoring the goal, Makari rushed towards Li Chenglong madly waving his arms, jumped up and landed in his arms.
This 1 meter 85 tall man, Li Chenglong took a few steps back before catching him.
Then the whole Schalke team rushed over, and the whole team celebrated on the sidelines together.
"This is definitely a script that no one can think of. In just over 10 minutes of the opening, Schalke scored an away goal and scored a very important away goal."
"From the goal just now, it can be seen that Bruce Lee is in a very good state, but the state of the Barcelona team is not very good. Maybe Schalke 04 will really do a miracle in the away game."
