Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 333: Reasonable (Second Update Guaranteed)

Martin O'Neill's closed training made Manchester City coach Villas-Boas nervous. [I]

In fact, Manchester City is indeed not as strong as Liverpool. Even if they have the home field advantage, it only narrows the strength gap between the two sides from 100 to 50. There is still a gap of 50! .

Therefore, the outside world thinks that Martin O'Neill is too cautious. With Liverpool's strength, they can definitely defeat Manchester City.

Villas-Boas knew that the only chance to beat Liverpool was to make the opponent proud and underestimate the enemy.

This could very well have happened.

The stronger Liverpool becomes, the more likely they will be proud and underestimate their opponents. Not to mention Manchester City, which they have always won.

In addition, the temptation of winning the championship by winning against Manchester City will also have some additional impact on Liverpool's players.

Combined with these factors, there is still hope for Manchester City to defeat Liverpool at home.

The premise is that Liverpool must look down on Manchester City from the bottom of their hearts.

But Martin O'Neill's closed training made Villas feel threatened.

"The Sun" can publish cartoons to mock Martin O'Neill, and O'Neill's lifelike expression will make everyone who reads it smile.

But for Boas, he couldn't laugh at all.

If Liverpool were really as cautious as O'Neill in the comics, there would be no chance of Manchester City coming back!

To this end, Boas must make some response.

Want to make Martin O'Neill proud and underestimate the enemy? This is impossible. Everyone knows what O'Neal's character is.

He is someone who would really taste the shit before he can be sure of the shit he is eating!

So he didn't want to influence O'Neill's judgment, what he wanted to do was influence the Liverpool players.

No matter how great the head coach is, the players are still the ones executing his tactics during the game.

Players are not robots, but people with their own thoughts, so their understanding of the head coach's tactical thinking becomes the key to the execution of this tactic.

Why are some players obviously average. But he can always get a lot of playing opportunities under the head coach? Even more than those talented players.

Quite simply, because his tactical understanding and execution ability are better than those of talented players.

Head coaches always like players who obey. Rather than a talented but willful player.

Just like the conflict between Villas-Boas and Aguero. Villas-Boas hopes that the Manchester City team will listen to him, but Aguero does not want to take revenge on Villas-Boas. (

.) In this way, even if Aguero's ability is outstanding, no matter how talented he is. Boas also cleansed him without hesitation.

Therefore, no matter how cautious Martin O'Neill is. As long as the Liverpool players actually playing the game feel that Manchester City is not a threat and they can play casually, that's fine.

When O'Neal discovered during the game that the situation did not develop as he expected. It's already too late. Even if he can replace three people in one go. But if the entire team is arrogant and underestimates the enemy, what is the use of substituting three people?

So the key lies with the players, not with Martin O'Neill.

Starting four days before the game, Villas-Boas has continued to appear in front of the media, and he naturally has to talk about the upcoming game.

He did not take a tough stance and said that his team would tenaciously block Liverpool at home.

On the contrary, he said that the strength gap between Manchester City and Liverpool is too great. Manchester City cannot beat Liverpool at home.

"I know that many people are staring at us, hoping that we can delay Liverpool's championship... and the media are wondering whether we will take the initiative to score three points because of our hatred with Manchester United... What I want is, I am a very sportsmanlike person, and so is my team. I never thought about letting go. However, our strength is there for everyone to see. I also know that there are many media who swear by it. Said that we will lose to Liverpool because our strength is far worse than Liverpool... This is the fact. I don't mean anything, but this is the fact. When a team is much stronger than us, everything is doomed... …”

"...The league is a marathon, and you cannot use up all your energy in one place. Our current situation is not good. After all, we are not even in the top five of the league. If we spend all our energy in one game After spending too much energy, we will face an unsustainable situation... This is not what I want to see... Sometimes, it is necessary to give up some games..."

Villas-Boas has to do a better job than the average person, because he does not directly and nakedly make a flattering look to compliment Liverpool's strength. Doing so would arouse suspicion.

Because the hatred between Manchester City and Liverpool has almost caught up with Manchester United in recent years. If it is too humble, it will make people suspicious.

Therefore, Villas-Boas successfully played the image of an ambitious but helpless head coach in front of the media and the public.

He actually hopes that Manchester City can defeat Liverpool, but the huge gap in strength between the two sides makes him helpless. Therefore, he must give up his plan to stop Liverpool at home. This decision is easy to understand. Apart from this round, there are still four rounds left in the league. The four rounds of the league are quite promising for Manchester City. Even if they lose to Liverpool, and Newcastle United and Arsenal ahead of them both win, the points relationship between the three teams will still be four points and five points. This isn't a big deal.

Rather than fighting to the death in the game with Liverpool, and then being bruised and costly, it is easy to give up this game, and then concentrate all your energy on winning the remaining four rounds of the league. Obviously the latter plan is more reliable.

It is impossible for Liverpool to let Manchester City disrupt their championship, so if Manchester City wants to go head-to-head in this game, everyone knows what level of resistance they will encounter.

Therefore, Boas's choice is normal, and no one will think there is anything wrong with it.

※※※

Villas-Boas has been paying attention to media reports after his statement. He wanted to see what public opinion thought of his statement.

Public opinion can influence people's hearts. When the power of public opinion is strong enough, black can become white. What's more, it just makes Liverpool players feel proud and underestimate the enemy?

Martin O'Neal can close the training camp and prevent the media and fans from entering the training base to watch the training. But he couldn't close the eyes and ears of all Liverpool players.

Those players always have to go back to their homes after training every day. At that time, whether they were surfing the Internet, watching TV, or reading newspapers, they were always exposed to messages from the media.

Consulting is so developed nowadays. This game has attracted much attention, and there will certainly be no shortage of reports about this game in the media. They know their attitude effortlessly.

By then, what kind of seeds will my words plant in their hearts... It’s really exciting!

※※※

The media lived up to Boas's expectations. He spread his words and analyzed his thoughts to everyone, letting them know why Boas made such a helpless choice.

Those famous journalists and experts in the media always boast that they know more than ordinary people, and they have a natural sense of superiority. They never miss an opportunity to show off their intelligence in front of the general public.

They broke up Boas's words and told them to the fans and readers.

There was no dyslexia at all, and everyone knew why Boas did what he did.

Perfect.

That's what Villas-Boas thought after seeing the media performance.

He really loves these media now.

This saves you so much trouble!

There is no need for him to perform anymore. If he performs too much, flaws will always be revealed, and the same goes for too many performances. Now he doesn't have to act, the media automatically fills it in for him, and some of the reasons he finds are things he himself never thought of. In this way, it was just a lie, but it was gradually improved by many media that were smart and self-righteous.

If he hadn't known better now, he himself would have thought that Manchester City was really going to give up on this game.

Just like the reasons given to Villas-Boas by the media, Villas-Boas, the coach, has already given up once. He has a criminal record, and it is normal to give up again.

Now it depends on whether those arrogant players in Liverpool will be fooled...

"Boas surrenders?"

This is a headline in the newspaper. It shows a picture of Villas-Boas holding a white flag with both hands high, and then there is the headline read by Chen Yingxiong.

After Chen Yingxiong read it out, he couldn't help but smile.

It was a disdainful smile.

Boas gave in so quickly?

What a shame!

If Boas could know Chen Yingxiong's psychological activities, he might be ecstatic at this time.

Because even Liverpool's top scorer seems to have fallen into his trap.

But if he can penetrate deeper into Chen Yingxiong's psychology...

I'm afraid Boas won't be so happy.

Because although Chen Yingxiong put down the newspaper with a disdainful smile, deep down in his heart he was not really proud and underestimated the enemy.

What he was thinking was - since Manchester City don't want to win this game, then I will give them a ride and let them die happily.

Yes, he did not underestimate the enemy. On the contrary, he became more ruthless and serious.

This time he will let Manchester City die without a place to die!

That's his style. He will not underestimate his opponents because of their performance. He has only one idea towards his enemies, and that is to kill them without mercy!

As long as they are enemies, that is the end, and there is absolutely no other possibility. He is not the kind of person who doesn't sympathize with his enemies. Don't think that pretending to be pitiful can paralyze Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong's goal is to win the championship at all costs. Anyone who dares to stand in front of him and prevent him from winning the championship, whether it is Manchester City or Barcelona, ​​will eventually be stepped on by him and crushed into powder!
