Chapter 196 This Goal Is Kind of Crazy
"Barcelona scored a face-saving goal at the end of stoppage time, and Messi also used this goal to surpass Ronaldo's record of 1996 goals in a single season in the 97-47 season..."
Messi couldn't hear the commentary from He Wei, who was thousands of miles away, but he also knew that he scored the 48th goal of the season, breaking the record of the Barcelona club.
But... what's the use?
He wasn't happy at all.
He scored, but Ajax's red number 8 was off.
More importantly, this goal has no meaning for the result of the game.
Messi picked up the rolling football from the net and trotted back to the middle circle.
-
"Drip, drip, drip!"
When Clattenburg blew the final three whistles, Barcelona's players collapsed limply on the turf.
The draw in the first round made them passive at the beginning of the second round. Ajax's tight defense certainly gave them some headaches, but the real reason why Barcelona couldn't attack for a long time was the absence of Iniesta, and Messi's suffering is limited.
Although Ajax's No. 8 was dyed red in the process of defending Messi, no one will deny his huge role in the game.
Guardiola and Vilanova pulled up the lost players from the grass one by one, and the Barcelona soldiers left the stadium that made them sad with their heads down.
And the Amsterdam Arena was completely in a carnival.
Huge colorful fireworks soared into the sky, and the whole city felt their joy at this moment!
Enthusiastic fans jumped off the stands and surrounded Van Basten and his disciples, and even more excited fans threw the players high while shedding tears.
As the absolute hero of the promotion, Long Shute was immediately picked up by the fans, jersey, shorts, sneakers, stockings, shin pads...
If he hadn't repeatedly resisted, they might have even taken off the remaining pants...
The open Dutch TV station fully presented this scene, but the conservative CCTV hastily cut off the scene and switched to the post-match comments.
"Okay, the game is over, let us congratulate Long Shute, congratulations to Ajax, they defeated the mighty Barcelona and officially entered the semi-finals of the Champions League..."
He Wei said with a smile on his face:
"Director Xu, what do you think is the biggest reason why Ajax can advance?"
Xu Yang pretended to think for a long time before giving his own answer:
"The biggest reason... is that Ajax has Long Shute. He participated in Ajax's five goals throughout the whole process. He is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the team's promotion."
"That's right, Long Shute scored three goals and assisted twice in two games, and his performance is extremely impressive," He Wei nodded, "But we should also see that his spared no effort in defense is more worthy of recognition. It was the combination of him and Enno that ensured that Ajax could restrict Messi's actions most of the time, and also greatly weakened Barcelona's offensive firepower..."
"Yes!" Xu Yang suddenly sighed, "But Long Shute has to face a suspension, which makes us a little more worried about Ajax's semi-final..."
-
"Semi-finals? No, I'm not worried."
Van Basten shook his head naturally when facing a reporter's question.
The head coach of the visiting team only answered two questions casually before leaving in a hurry, so the post-match press conference became a stage for Ajax as a team.
"It is undeniable that Long, who is the core of the midfield, is extremely important. His speed and physical fitness will make every opponent feel a headache, but we are a team, and the overall strength is the most important."
Van Basten did a set of tai chi, and then handed the microphone to Ajax spokesman Long Shute.
"I have benefited a lot from playing against Barcelona. I feel that my defensive level has improved a lot, but the result is still a bit regretful. In order to curb Messi's breakthrough, I handed over the most fouls in my career, even I got my first red card in my career..."
He shrugged:
"That's the price of growth."
"As for the first round of the semi-finals, I agree with the coach. We Ajax are a strong whole. No matter who is missing, other teammates will work harder to make up for it. We will not be defeated so easily! "
"Reporter of the Dutch Telegraph newspaper, Peter Leighton, thank you."
Ajax's official mouthpiece was the first to get a chance to ask a question, and the young reporter in his early thirties looked even happier than Longshut:
"Congratulations on defeating Barcelona and creating the best result in the Champions League since the 21st century. Let's talk about your opponents in the semi-finals. Inter Milan and Schalke 04. Who do you want to be against?"
"Of course it is Inter Milan. I like to challenge strong opponents, especially last season's Champions League winners."
Long Shute replied without hesitation:
"They have a lot of top midfielders in their team. I am very eager to play against Sneijder directly."
Layton was not surprised at all, and smiled happily: This fully embodies the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, and it is also very consistent with the temperament that Long Shute has shown in the past two years...
"As a team with an extremely young average age, Ajax's future is unpredictable. Did you ever think at the beginning of the season that the team could reach the semi-finals of the Champions League?"
"I thought about it."
Long Shute still answered him without hesitation:
"Last season I missed a lot of key games due to injuries, and we lost to our opponents because of the weather. But now our lineup is stronger and we have a better understanding. I am not surprised to come to this point."
Layton nodded: I am not surprised by your answer...
Then he heard a voice that surprised him.
Long Shute on the rostrum spread his hands and said to the reporters in the audience:
"I believe that our team can defeat all opponents, whether it is Inter Milan or Schalke 04, will not hinder us, we will definitely enter the finals, and then... for the club to win the fifth championship in history Champions League trophy."
Layton opened his mouth wide.
Laptops and notebooks in the hands of many journalists almost fell to the ground.
Van Basten was also dumbfounded.
Who told you to make such irresponsible remarks on your own? !
Do you think the Champions League is so easy to win?
In addition to Inter Milan and Schalke, there are three super giants Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Chelsea in the other half of the area (the other top eight team, Shakhtar Donetsk, has been taught by Real Madrid to be a man, so it is not included in the list). In the second round of the game, they beat Ajax 4-1. Where did you have the confidence to announce that you want to win the championship?
"Did I hear it wrong?"
Layton took two steps forward in disbelief:
"My dear dragon, what did you just say?"
Deputy Captain Long shrugged:
"Since we have already entered the semi-finals, our goal is definitely not to stop here. Since we are going to enter the finals, why not set the goal to win the championship? Isn't this a very simple reason?"
You guys, what do you know?
Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea are great, but they are all fighting for the league title in their respective leagues. Schalke is about to fall into the relegation zone. It is inevitable whether they are physically or mentally The ground is scattered, where is my Ajax so leisurely, can concentrate on preparing for the Champions League?
After I end the next round of suspension, I will be resurrected with full blood and demons, so it's not like seeing who destroys who? !
