Chapter 1088 - 260: Selling Serie A for a Good Price (Part 4)

Everyone knows Moreira is leaving, so Barça won’t be able to sell him for a high price.

In terms of transfer fees, they are bound to suffer a loss.

Make no mistake, Real Madrid is definitely behind the scenes fueling this.

To ensure Real Madrid wins the Champions League this year, the Old Buddha has prepared various killer moves for every round of opponents.

So what if it’s an off-field move?

If you can’t resist, you deserve to lose!

If you’re capable, you can spend money to mess up our insides, if, indeed, there are problems within us.

In terms of tactics, Barça’s Big Bear and Real Madrid’s Old Buddha are not on the same level at all.

In the end, on the Barça side, head coach Gudiola hopelessly announced the next day that because Moreira will catch a cold, he won’t be in the team’s list for next week’s second leg of the Champions League!

Bang!

As soon as these words were out, all of Europe was in an uproar.

Pay attention to Gudiola’s wording.

Because he will catch a cold!

That is to say, he’s not sick now, but will be later... what the hell, that’s a prophecy!

Everyone latched onto this statement, even making it into a running joke.

But... some people believe this was intentional on Gudiola’s part.

This way, leaving a player like Moreira out of the lineup due to non-football reasons seems very unprofessional.

This burden, at least, is not borne by Gudiola but by Barça’s upper management themselves.

One must admit, Gudiola is quite smart.

But ironically, after taking out the strongest player in the team, the football elf Moreira, Barça seemingly has a better chance at victory against Real Madrid in the second leg!

The majority of Barça fans believe that without Moreira’s burden, Barça will finally reach their long-awaited ultimate form... perfect passing and control!

What must be admitted is that Moreira indeed doesn’t completely adapt to Barça’s tactical system.

The reason he’s being sidelined isn’t his ability, but his personal style.

To illustrate this point, look at Xiaoluo and Neymar.

Both have a very flashy playing style, but Neymar is flashy within the team rules and tactics.

Whereas Xiaoluo is flashy beyond tactics.

There’s a big difference.

In another Champions League quarterfinal match, Juventus also received good news.

They too defeated Premier League leaders Chelsea at home with a score of two to one!

Ancelotti and Kolber both scored, and Serie A rejoiced nationwide!

A spot in the semifinals is secured!

This isn’t Serie A being arrogant, but Chelsea, despite having a slew of attacking superstars, including the former Serie A top divine striker Gutierrez, they... under Felish’s management, have opted for a defensive counterattack style.

They’re not good at attacking.

At least that’s what the data shows.

Therefore, with Juventus’ revived firepower and their defense today.

In the next match, whether it’s zero to zero or one to one or two to two, three to three, whatever Chelsea can do, they can do as well.

Saying they’ve advanced to the Champions League semifinals is not excessive.

The next day, two more Champions League matches began.

At the Sanremo Miracle Stadium, Lu Yang is conducting the final pre-match mobilizations.

"Everyone, get excited! This is the best opponent we could face!" Lu Yang said, "Whether it’s Real Madrid, or Bayern, they’re not ones we can challenge."

"Especially Manchester United, Barça, Chelsea, and Juventus, we struggle to find opportunities."

"But this Paris Saint-Germain... has no midfield!"

"As long as we withstand Stiepelman’s headers, we have a great chance to keep the suspense till the next round!"

No midfield, this doesn’t mean the opposing team has no midfield players.

It means their midfield isn’t effective, on the field it looks like there’s only defense and attack.

But... is it really the midfield players lacking skills?

No!

Most problematic teams exhibit the "no midfield" form.

Forwards failing to score, giving the opponent too many counterattack opportunities, doesn’t that mean there’s no midfield?

Defensive players being too aggressive, only thinking of long passes or frequent mistakes, doesn’t that mean there’s no midfield?

No midfield really means the team hasn’t developed their own attack-defensive systems.

They have tactical issues.

They can’t create team chemistry, relying primitively on the individual abilities of stars to dominate games.

It’s simple superstar stacking.

Not much different from previous Real Madrid, Chelsea, and other teams.

But now, Real Madrid and Chelsea have found their respective solutions and built balanced tactical systems.

As for Paris Saint-Germain, they are just forming their squad, still exploring, and there are loopholes!

This is San Remo’s biggest chance!
