Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 346 Confrontation

After Martin O'Neill recalled the great ideal that Chen Yingxiong told himself, he no longer dwelled on the boring question of whether he could completely end Barcelona in the first round.

Yes, for O'Neal, compared with Chen Yingxiong's great ideals, Barcelona's problem is a very boring problem.

As for Real Madrid...he didn't think about it at all.

None of this matters.

Because after having this understanding, Martin O'Neill no longer considered whether what Chen Yingxiong said was true.

For him, what matters is not whether this is true, but whether Chen Yingxiong really intends to do this.

If Chen Yingxiong really plans to do this, then all he has to do is do everything possible to mobilize the strength of the entire team to help Chen Yingxiong achieve this goal.

He knew what Chen Yingxiong said, and he must do it.

If Chen Yingxiong fails to do it, it will be a loss of Chen Yingxiong's face.

Chen Yingxiong will be unhappy if he loses face.

He's not happy... He won't be able to stay in Liverpool for long.

Martin O'Neill is very conscious of this, and he is never shy to admit it.

I just fall in love with Chen Yingxiong, what’s wrong? You people who only know how to chew your tongue can't get it even if you want to!

After finishing Chen Yingxiong's conversation, Martin O'Neill went back and kept thinking about how he could completely destroy Barcelona at home.

The definition of destruction first is very simple, that is to completely defeat Barcelona.

Specifically, winning by a big score.

This score gap must be big enough that even if Barcelona returns to home court, there will be nothing they can do and they will not be able to catch up.

When they realize this. They will lose their fighting spirit and confidence, and then... the second round will become just a formality.

So how do you win a big score at home?

Martin O'Neal began to analyze himself and his opponents point by point.

What are Liverpool's strengths and weaknesses? What are the strengths and weaknesses of Barcelona.

How can these strengths and weaknesses interact with each other?

For example, can our advantages overcome their advantages? Do our strengths take full advantage of their weaknesses? Can our shortcomings not be exploited to their advantage?

These problems all need to be solved by him as the head coach.

Who said being Chen Yingxiong’s head coach is an easy job in the world?

The hero just talks in front of others and sets goals. As for how to achieve it, I have to find a way for him, otherwise you think it depends on Chen Yingxiong alone. If everyone didn't help him, would he be able to achieve what he has achieved today?

But you all only saw the beauty of Chen Yingxiong, but you don’t know what I did behind the scenes...

Just like this, everyone said sarcastically that I was just taking advantage of Chen Yingxiong...

Oh shit! It's up to you to try it!

You're just afraid that you won't be able to do it for half a season!

O'Neill vented his resentment in his heart for a while and then went to work.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong is not someone who just leaves the mess to others and enjoys the happiness himself.

He is also working hard to improve his abilities in the dungeon - in fact, his abilities are already very good now. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in world football.

But he still needs to keep training.

Because he wants to widen the gap between himself and other players around the world, to the point where they don't even have the idea of ​​chasing him.

In this way, he can truly become the number one in the world.

※ ※ ※

O'Neal spent a night thinking hard. Finally found a way.

According to his analysis, Barcelona is not the kind of team that likes to defend, although their defense is actually pretty good, and even on the road, they will stick to the tactic they are best at, which is offense.

This is more common with Guardiola's Barcelona. Even when going to Stamford Bridge, which is more difficult for them, Barcelona never gave up the idea of ​​attacking.

This may have something to do with Guardiola's pride in being famous. He always believed that this was Barcelona's tradition and pride, and what made Barcelona different from all other teams.

If Barcelona abandons this tradition for various reasons, it will be lost to everyone. Is it still considered "Barcelona" at the same time?

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for his team to abandon this tradition.

O'Neal has long known this.

Therefore, his original strategy was to directly defend and counterattack.

The game started with Barcelona fighting for fifteen minutes. If you can score a goal, that's great. If you don't, it doesn't matter. Immediately withdraw to defend, and then use defensive counterattacks to deal with Liverpool.

As long as Barcelona doesn't give up their offensive tactics, Liverpool will have plenty of chances to score in these ninety minutes.

Even if they only win two goals on the road, this is a huge advantage.

Then went to the away game. It started from the first minute of the game. Just use the unique skill of defensive counterattack.

The score is 0:0, and Liverpool wins.

It doesn't matter even if the opponent scores a goal, Martin O'Neill has absolute confidence in his team's counterattack ability. He believes that at Camp Nou, Liverpool will definitely score away goals, it’s just a matter of how many.

But this plan is no longer useful.

Because Chen Yingxiong wants the team to completely destroy Barcelona in the first round.

So Martin O'Neill plans to compete with Barcelona at home!

This idea is actually very simple, not very creative, let alone novel.

Many people might even curl their lips with disdain - isn't it just a confrontation? It took me all night to think about it!

It's not just as simple as attacking.

First of all, he is the one who dares to make this decision after fighting against Barcelona for the whole game. There is no one among the current football coaches in the world.

Because everyone knows that fighting against Barcelona is a dead end, and they will be beaten to pieces in the first half of the game. Not to mention attacking the whole court.

Therefore, having the courage to make this decision actually shows the courage of Martin O'Neill... Of course. Some people may think this is stupid. He may have spent a large part of the night gathering courage and making up his mind whether to attack Barcelona. After determining this, he considered a more difficult question, that is, how long he would fight Barcelona.

Finally, he finally made the decision to attack Barcelona throughout the game.

You know, even Liverpool. In last season's Champions League final, they did not attack Barcelona for the entire game, but only for part of the time.

Now it's the whole game. From the first minute of the game until the referee blows the whistle to end the game, they will not stop their progress, attacking, attacking and attacking again. In addition to attacking, they are attacking!

And once they make a slight mistake in this offensive battle. All previous efforts may be wasted.

This is just one of them.

Secondly, everyone knows that Liverpool will launch a fierce offensive after the game starts, but this is not a confrontation. This kind of offense is to prepare for the subsequent defense. Once they score, they quickly recover, shrink themselves into their shells, and then start their despicable defensive counterattack...

So when Barcelona thought that Liverpool would shrink their defense after scoring and then hand possession of the ball to them honestly, they would be surprised to find that Liverpool in this game is different from before.

And this difference can cause some confusion for them. It will also make them uncomfortable in qualifying for the game.

The so-called strategy makes people rack their brains, isn't it just for the last "surprise"?

So now Barcelona would never expect that Liverpool would attack wildly at their home court, which is a completely lifeless attack. This kind of madness will actually be in sharp contrast to what they expected, and then it will begin to shake Barcelona's military morale...

Catch the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared!

The last point is in the confrontation. Squeeze Chen Yingxiong to the maximum extent. He must lead the team's offense. He is the core of this strategy.

If he wants to completely destroy Barcelona, ​​Chen Yingxiong must work harder than in any game and maximize his abilities.

Of course. As for this, Martin O'Neill is not worried.

This thing was proposed by Chen Yingxiong, and he will definitely go all out. Otherwise he would not be Chen Yingxiong.

In this way, Martin O'Neill decided on the final tactic.

Then three days before the game, during a training session, he announced the decision to his players.

"This game. We are going to completely destroy them at home and make the second round completely losing suspense!"

The players heard coach Martin O'Neal say this. They all turned to look at Chen Yingxiong.

They know that Chen Yingxiong said this in front of the media. Now O'Neill means the same as Chen Yingxiong. That means that Yingxiong has convinced the boss again?

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Yingxiong kept a smile on his face and said nothing.

O'Neill coughed, and everyone turned their attention to him again.

"So, I decided to play this game at home against Barcelona!"

The incredible noise was not heard.

Everyone was just stunned for a moment, and then accepted the fact.

Looking at the calm players, O'Neal was suddenly a little annoyed - he didn't have the courage and determination of these players!

Oh shit!

Of course he doesn't know. It won't take a day or two for Liverpool's players to overthrow Barcelona, ​​completely defeat them and destroy them.

Being able to compete with Barcelona is exactly what they want!

Only Chen Yingxiong showed a brighter smile after hearing what O'Neill said.

He knew why O'Neal chose to attack, because he had the same idea as O'Neal.

Use the means Barcelona is best at and most proud of to kill Barcelona, ​​so that Barcelona can die with no regrets and can rest in peace.

This time, you probably won’t say anything like “We took more initiative, we had a high ball possession rate, we took more shots, we had a high pass success rate…so we deserve to win the game. It’s important for us that Liverpool win.” It's unfair..." Isn't this bullshit?
