Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 330 Different Situations (First Update Guaranteed)

No one knows what Guardiola said to his disciples during the halftime break, but everyone saw that at the beginning of the second half, Guardiola used up all three substitutions in one go.

Messi, Iniesta and Butzquez, the three main players, all appeared. .

The situation in the field was finally reversed.

Although only three people have been replaced, these three people are the core of Barcelona.

With them here, Barcelona's combat effectiveness has been restored to about 80%.

In the second half, Barcelona scored a total of three goals to complete the reversal.

In the end, they defeated Eindhoven with a score of 3:1.

Considering that this is Eindhoven's home court, Eindhoven will have no chance when they return to Camp Nou. So this can also be said to end the suspense of the quarter-finals early.

Not only did Barcelona beat PSV, they also scored three away goals.

Despite this, Guardiola still criticized the team's performance after the game.

"Our performance was very bad! Especially in the half. I don't want to say why. In my opinion, this kind of mistake should not be made..."

Guardiola is as proud as ever. He still feels that even if he sends a large number of substitutes and young players, he should not be helpless in the away game.

He also tried to boost morale during halftime, but found that didn't work. In order to avoid the irreversible situation of qualifying, he had to temporarily put down his obsession and let Messi and others play.

So although the game was won. But Guardiola was not in a good mood.

Concluding at the same time as this game is the match between Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

As Guardiola expected, although Dortmund pulled a goal back in the half, it was meaningless.

Liverpool scored two more goals in the second half, and Chen Yingxiong also completed a hat trick.

Gotze faced his old club for the first time and performed very positively and well. He seems to want to use practical actions to prove to his old club how correct his original choice was - Dortmund's structure is too small. I need a broader stage and need to be promoted. And he has obtained all of these now.

Two seasons at Liverpool. He participated in more high-level competitions and was surrounded by high-level teams, which helped his strength improve quickly. Now he is not just Liverpool's main attacking midfielder. He is also the main attacking midfielder of the German national team. Real Madrid's Ozil was pushed to the right.

This is all the result of constantly feeding Chen Yingxiong the ball.

He finally transformed from a simple German genius into a top star that has attracted worldwide attention.

The final score was 5:1. Liverpool defeated Dortmund at home, completely ending the suspense in the second round between the two sides.

In this way, Liverpool can send out a substitute lineup in the second round to allow the main players to rest, while avoiding further accumulation of yellow cards and causing suspensions, which would be too worthwhile.

Barcelona originally wanted to wait for work, but now their wishful thinking has come to nothing.

After the game, the European media commented on the performance of the two teams.

It is generally believed that Martin O'Neill is strategically superior to Guardiola. Because he played his best at his home court and did not consume the physical strength of the main players. Instead, it completely sealed the victory and bought the team a game of rest.

As for Barcelona, ​​the result of underestimating the enemy was that they were embarrassed in the away game and did not have a good rest. It can be said that it is nothing but water in a bamboo basket.

From these two games, we can already see some clues. These things may become the key factors that determine the outcome of the two teams' confrontation.

Psychologically speaking, Liverpool has an advantage over Barcelona.

After all, this is a hearty victory for them. Victory in this game can improve the players' condition and confidence, which will be of great benefit to them against Barcelona.

The score on Barcelona's side was quite good, but the process was very tortuous. It was considered a narrow victory. If it weren't for Guardiola's decisive substitution. I'm just afraid that Barcelona will capsize in the gutter. Even if you win such a game, no one will be happy. It can be seen from Guardiola's speech at the post-match press conference that he is very dissatisfied. If he is unhappy, then the Barcelona players will suffer.

The entire team will be in a relatively depressed mood.

This state is not conducive to dealing with Liverpool.

Some media believe that Guardiola cares too much about Liverpool and ends up messing up his position.

"Being defeated by Liverpool in the Champions League final last year was a heavy blow to Guardiola... It seems that he has not recovered until now... Because he is eager for revenge, Liverpool surpasses all others in his mind. The team turned a blind eye to Eindhoven and almost lost the game because of underestimating the enemy... Maybe Guardiola himself will not admit it. In fact, Liverpool... no, it is Chen Yingxiong, who has become his Nightmare. If Chen Yingxiong cannot be defeated, then this nightmare will exist forever..."

Guardiola naturally disbelieves and disdains such a statement.

Are you kidding me? Will Chen Yingxiong become his nightmare? Give me a break! I, Guardiola, have never been afraid of anyone! Just a player, a fool, who could threaten my Barcelona? He just has better luck...

But I really want to beat him, not for some boring nightmare, but because I beat Liverpool so that I can advance to the final and win the championship trophy again!

They all won the game, but Barcelona was in a gloomy situation and people were terrified. Over in Liverpool there was a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

They themselves didn't expect that they could win so easily at home. Now they are equivalent to entering the semi-finals ahead of schedule.

Although the opponent in the semi-finals is likely to be Barcelona, ​​with Liverpool's current confidence and morale, they feel that it is normal for Barcelona's defeated opponent to lose to them again.

After this game, they no longer think about the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Even if there is still one round left, they no longer need to worry about it.

They can turn their attention back to their domestic leagues.

With seven games left in the league, Liverpool leads second-placed Manchester United by 11 points. As long as they win four more games, they can win the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

In these four rounds, the only opponent with some strength was Manchester City in the 34th round.

The opponents in the other three rounds are not worth mentioning. In the 32nd round, Liverpool challenged Nottingham Forest away.

In the 33rd round, Liverpool faced Stoke City at home.

In the 35th round, Liverpool faced Wigan Athletic at home.

If all goes well, the league champion will be decided on April 21, and Liverpool can play whatever they want in the remaining three rounds of the league, even if they all let Liverpool's reserve team play. Maybe then some people will say that Liverpool does not respect its opponents, but who has the qualifications to do so? Teams that are not convinced can still win the championship three rounds in advance. By then, even if they are all youth teams, that is their freedom. Anyway, according to the Premier League registration rules, players under the age of 18 can directly participate in the Premier League without registration qualifications.

To take a step back, even if Liverpool cannot win the championship three rounds in advance, this championship should be irreversible.

Because Liverpool's opponents in the last three rounds were not strong either.

The thirty-sixth round is an away game against Portsmouth, the thirty-seventh round is an away game against Fulham, and the thirty-eighth round is back at home against Charlton.

For these three teams, even if Liverpool really uses the reserve team and a Chen Yingxiong, they still have a 60% certainty of winning.

The only thing Manchester United can do now is to try to delay Liverpool's championship a little longer, and then a little longer.

As for reversing Liverpool and winning the league title? Even Ferguson may not dare to think like this in his heart...

※※※

Before the away game against Nottingham Forest. Martin O'Neill shouted the slogan within the team to win the championship three rounds in advance, which means that Liverpool will win four consecutive games in the next four rounds of the league.

Winning the league title early will free up Liverpool to prepare for the Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona.

The thirty-fifth round of the league is on April 21, and if nothing else happens, the semi-finals with Barcelona will be on April 25. Winning the championship in advance will give at least three more days to train for Barcelona.

As for the second round, the extra time is even more. The second round is on May 3rd.

Barcelona will not have such a chance. In La Liga, they are locked in a battle with Real Madrid. Barcelona is currently two points ahead of Real Madrid, but there is still a national derby between the two sides, which is still Real Madrid's home court.

And what a coincidence, this game is between two Champions League semi-finals.

Barcelona is said to have made a request to the La Liga Football Association to change the date of the El Clasico.

However, it was rejected by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will definitely refuse. Although they are also facing the Champions League semi-finals, whether it is Milan or Chelsea, their opponents are much weaker than Liverpool. And there are not many opportunities to inflict pain on the enemy like now. It feels very wonderful. How could Real Madrid let it go?

By then, seeing their arch-rival Barcelona empty-handed in the domestic and European arenas, Real Madrid's season will be complete - they also have a chance to compete for the Champions League. Even if they encounter Liverpool, Real Madrid will still have the confidence to compete with them.

When the time comes, the arch-enemy will have nothing to lose this season, and Real Madrid will have the double crown in hand. When they come back, they can laugh at and ridicule Barcelona as much as they want.

What a joy! To be continued. .
