Chapter 197 Camp Nou Colosseum!

"Dear viewers before the live broadcast, you are now watching the 2017/2018 Spanish La Liga match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid! I am the commentator Zhan Jun!"

"I am Fan Zhiyi, a Songwen fan!"

In the DouYin live broadcast room, Zhan Jun looked at the shameless old man next to him in disbelief.

"I am also a fan of Song Wen, Zhan Jun."

After saying this, he did not give Fan Zhiyi any more opportunities to add to the offer and continued:
"Today's match can be said to be a highly anticipated match, and is even called the Third World Football War by fans! Barcelona, led by Messi, and Atletico Madrid, led by Song Wen, will have a fierce showdown at the Camp Nou today! This is a head-on confrontation between the new king and the old king! It is a decisive clash where the brave will win!"

"I think the pressure on Song Wen in today's game is undoubtedly huge. As the fans said, in today's game, Song Wen will either walk out of Camp Nou with a victory, or he will have to leave Spain with a coffin! He has gambled everything he has! Let us look forward to today's match together!"

Fan Zhiyi nodded with a serious look.

Everyone knows what consequences Song Wen will have to bear when he fires at the football king Messi in front of the mass media.

If he loses this game, he will most likely destroy all the honors he has ever achieved.

"It snowed at Camp Nou today. Fortunately, this amount of snowfall should not affect the game as scheduled. However, such weather will definitely have a certain impact on the players' condition and vision!"

Zhan Jun continued:

"We have seen that the starting rosters for both teams have been released. We can see that both teams have brought out their strongest lineups for today's match!"

"As for Atletico, Simeone did not choose to use a bus formation as he did in the usual matches against Barcelona. Instead, he used the 4-4-2 formation that our Song Wen likes the most! It can be seen that this is Simeone's absolute trust in Song Wen!"

Looking at Atletico Madrid's lineup, Fan Zhiyi was beaming with joy.

Atletico Madrid did not choose to park the bus, but instead used a 4-4-2 formation, which proves that Song Wen's current core position in Atletico Madrid is absolutely unshakable.

Similarly, this also shows Atletico Madrid's confidence in Song Wen's joining.

"In this list, we can see that in the goalkeeper position, No. 13 Oblak is still on the field today. Although this goalkeeper does not make many saves, his success rate is very high."

"On the defensive line, there are No. 3 Filipe Luis, No. 2 Godin, No. 24 Jimenez and No. 20 Juanfran! Here I have to mention a statistic. The two defenders, Godin and Jimenez, have completed a total of clearances this season. Currently in the Spanish La Liga, they can be said to be the top center combination!"

Fan Zhiyi interjected at the right time:

"You can doubt everything about Simeone and Atletico, but you can never doubt their defense!"

Zhan Jun nodded and continued:
"In the midfield, we see No. 17 Song Wen in the front. Behind him, Simeone adopted a double defensive midfielder strategy today, namely No. 14 Gabi and No. 5 Thomas!"

"We know that before Song Wen joined Atletico, the biggest problem was the lack of ball-carrying breakthrough players in the midfield. As an Asian talent introduced by Atletico for 200 million euros, Song Wen's ability to pass the ball in a small space is obvious to all. This can help Atletico break through Barcelona's dense high-pressure defense in the midfield and make up for Griezmann's consumption of retreating to organize."

"The double defensive midfielder protection system provides a layer of protection for Atletico's defense. The 35-year-old veteran Gabi has rich experience in interception, and Thomas's defensive coverage area is very large! They can create space for Song Wen to move freely."

"On the forward line, we still have our old faces, No. 7 Griezmann and Diego Costa. In the last game, the through pass between Song Wen and Costa directly broke through Sevilla's seemingly solid defense, and Griezmann's movement on the left can help Song Wen attract a lot of defensive attention!"

After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Fan Zhiyi nodded again.

"In short, the current Atletico Madrid team is perfect from offense to defense! The 200 million euros spent is well worth it!"

Zhan Jun called up Barcelona's starting lineup and continued his commentary.

"Let's take a look at Barcelona's starting lineup today. Today, Barcelona lined up a 4-3-3 offensive formation. In the goalkeeper position, it is still our familiar old friend Ter Stegen."

"Left back, No. 18 Alba, right back, No. 2 Semedo! The two center positions are No. 3 Pique and No. 23 Umtiti."

"The median combination of Pique and Umtiti has completed 287 clearances this season, continuing Barcelona's traditional passing system, while Umtiti's explosiveness makes up for Pique's problem with turning speed."

"It is also worth mentioning that in the summer transfer window, Barcelona spent 1.8 million euros to recruit right back Semedo. His sprinting ability is very good, averaging times per game, which has injected sufficient vitality into Barcelona's right side."

"In the midfield, they are No. 5 Busquets, No. 4 Rakitic and No. 8 Iniesta!"

Fan Zhiyi smiled and said:
"When I think of Iniesta, I think of a delicacy, fried meatballs."

"As a Spanish... no, as a world-class midfielder, Iniesta is the Spanish people's own Guoda. This man plays football very elegantly. Sometimes when you watch him play, it feels like he is performing magic. It is very interesting."

When mentioning this well-known midfield artist, the barrage of comments also began to make fun of him.

[Iniesta is really good at playing football. He can make his opponents confused and even himself feel at a loss.]

[With just a stretch of his legs, he fried the meatballs to perfection. ]

[As we all know, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods, and Iniesta is just like that. 】

[Then I think if you want to talk about this, Suarez is still more awesome. In front of Suarez, high-end ingredients don’t need to be cooked at all. They just need to be picked and eaten right away to retain their original flavor.]

[If you don't understand, who is better, Iniesta or Modric? ]

[This is a good question. It seems easy, but it is not easy at all. ]

[It's a 50-50 split. After all, neither Iniesta nor Modric has ever won the Chinese Super League championship.]

【So Zheng Zhi＞Modric=Iniesta. 】

Zhan Jun looked at the teasing in the comments and felt like laughing.

But he knew that he was a professional commentator, so he suppressed his smile and continued:
"Barcelona's midfield control is very strong. Busquets is the defensive midfielder, and his pass success rate this season has reached more than 12.3%. Rakitic covers the right side to assist, and his average running distance per game reaches km. Iniesta organizes the left side, forming a classic triangle control axis."

Zhan Jun took a deep breath and looked at the dazzling name on the starting lineup. "On the front line, they are No. 11 Dembele, No. 9 Suarez, and No. 10 Leo Messi!"

"Although Neymar left Barcelona this season, disbanding the former universe trident MSN, Dembele's explosive ability on the left wing allowed him to successfully dribble past the defense 4.7 times per game, which to some extent made up for the vacancy left by Neymar."

"As for Suarez, we know that this Uruguayan has always been a world-class striker!"

Fan Zhiyi nodded seriously.

"To add, he also has the best teeth in the world and the best left hand in the world."

Fan Zhiyi's words successfully set off another wave of barrage.

[I only know that Suarez is the striker that Ghanaians want most.]

[Hahahaha, what the Ghanaians want is probably not Suarez as a striker, but a corpse. ]

[Perfect buttocks, top teeth, gentle temperament, not good at talking. 】

[Why do I feel like Song Wen is going to be bitten today?]

[I don't think so. As we all know, Suarez loves Italian barbecue the most. ]

"As for Messi..." Zhan Jun smiled, "I think there is no need to say more. He is recognized as the best player in the world. But as to which one of the best players today is real or fake, we have to watch the game."

Fan Zhiyi thought about it, and as a world-renowned Song fan, he started to analyze it.

"But in fact, the current Barcelona, if you compare it with two or three years ago, is definitely not as strong as before."

"Let's not talk about Neymar's departure. Dembele's joining seems to have made up for Neymar's absence, but what can I say about this guy? He has a bit of a glass man attribute. He gets injured here and there all the time. He had just recovered from injury and returned to the field in the last game."

"And we say that what Barcelona is best at is passing and controlling the ball. But if you look at Barcelona's midfield now, it is really too old. Iniesta is 34 years old and Busquets is 30 years old. Their age can no longer support them to carry out high-intensity pressing. Do you think they have the ability to resist an explosive midfielder like Song Wen? I think not."

"Yes," Zhan Jun also nodded. Fan Zhiyi's words were not aimless, but were supported by data. "We can see that Barcelona's midfield is indeed lacking in toughness and counter-attacking ability. Their team's interception data can only rank sixth among all clubs in the Spanish La Liga. For Barcelona, which is now ranked first in the La Liga standings, this data is undoubtedly unqualified. The proportion of goals lost due to counterattacks that season reached 37%. What a concept! This proportion is already the highest among all La Liga clubs!"

Fan Zhiyi continued:
"And with Neymar's departure, one problem we have to ignore is that Suarez is actually getting older. His condition is visibly declining. Last season, Suarez's goal conversion rate was 23%, but this season, it is only 19%. And now Barcelona's biggest headache is that they don't have a suitable substitute in this position."

"In short, although this Barcelona team is still very strong, they are not without weaknesses. They seem to be very strong on paper, but their core is aging, their defense is weak, and they rely too much on Messi on the offensive end. If Atletico can address this problem of Barcelona, I think with Song Wen, defeating Barcelona is not a daydream!"

Hearing Fan Zhiyi's words, Zhan Jun nodded in agreement.

"Of course, an important issue we have to ignore is that today's game is at Barcelona's home ground, at Camp Nou. Even across the screen, I can already feel the enthusiasm of Barcelona fans. This has a significant impact on Atletico Madrid, who are playing away."

"Yes, this is why Atletico only won one game when they visited Camp Nou before. This terrible home atmosphere does have a huge impact on the players. This is not just Atletico. Any team that goes to Camp Nou will encounter this dilemma."

"But," Fan Zhiyi changed the subject and laughed, "I think this situation has no effect on Song Wen at all. This kid is playing football outside with our Great Wall on his face."

At this time, the Camp Nou stadium was already packed.

Even though it was still snowing, the dome of Camp Nou seemed to have turned into boiling lava in the blizzard.

The 98,000 seats have already been filled to the brim with fans.

On the south stand, a 40-meter-long banner was unfurled, depicting a row of Song Wen clown images.

The Catalan flag behind the north goal set off a wave of people, and the sound of tens of thousands of hands slapping on the seats made the snow on the grass tremble.

The die-hard Atletico Madrid fans in the east stand were turned into a cage by Barcelona fans using laser pens.

The snow curtain was dyed yellow by the searchlight.

Behind the snow curtain, there is also a group of white bodies.

Those were shirtless Barcelona fans, spelling out Catalan swear words with their bodies.

The whistle for the game had not yet been blown, but as soon as Song Wen stepped onto the turf of Camp Nou, deafening boos instantly swept the entire Camp Nou stadium, like an earthquake.

The camera brings everything into focus.

Song Wen walked onto the court leisurely.

Faced with the boos and insults, he seemed not to hear them and had a calm and comfortable smile on his face.

Finally, he raised his hands provocatively.

It seemed that what was deafening was not the boos, but the cheers that crowned him.

Or maybe it was a mockery of those Barcelona fans, as if to say, "Are you satisfied with your voice?"

Song Wen's actions undoubtedly made Barcelona fans even more angry.

At this moment, Camp Nou is no longer a football field.

This is the Colosseum torn out by the claws of the Pampas Eagle.

The snowflakes falling from the sky are like feathers falling from an eagle.

And every feather seemed to be stained with the blood and flesh of the visitor from the East!
