Volume 1: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 359: Haste (Second Update Guaranteed)

After the game, a large number of reporters gathered at the press conference. Everyone was talking about the game that had just ended. The entire press conference was filled with various voices.

This game was really incredible for everyone. Barcelona was actually given six goals in the game. And more importantly, Barcelona did not show any ability to counterattack during the game. They could only squat on the ground with their heads in their hands, and then were beaten by Liverpool. .

Their performance in the game was so miserable that many reporters did not expect it.

Now, these reporters are not full of questions and want to ask Barcelona's head coach Guardiola.

Everyone wants to understand why Barcelona's performance in the away game is so miserable. They want to know how Barcelona prepares for the game before the game. They also want to ask Guardiola why he did not make effective adjustments during the game.

It's so miserable, someone must stand up and take responsibility. They have already found this person.

None other than Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.

This is not because the media insists on finding a scapegoat.

Guardiola's performance was really poor. In this game, Barcelona was completely restrained by Liverpool's tactics. If the offense can't improve, it can only rely on Messi's breakthrough. As for defense, they couldn't guard against Chen Yingxiong.

After losing the ball continuously, no effective substitutions were made, let alone any effective adjustments. He just stood there, motionless. It's like a wax figure in a wax museum.

Don't even expect to win with this performance.

They were ready to bombard Guardiola at the press conference.

After losing the game. It is tradition in the media to hold head coaches accountable.

Guardiola did not give them such a chance, he did not come to the press conference at all!

Not only him, but also his assistant Vilanova did not come.

No one from Barcelona came.

They took the bus directly and left the stadium.

He left everyone with a hurried back view.

But Guardiola passed the first grade of junior high school, but could not pass the fifteenth grade.

Don't assume you won't be interviewed. You can escape this disaster.

The media's criticism will not spare him.

Martin O'Neill then appeared at the press conference.

He expressed his satisfaction with this game, or he could not be more satisfied.

A reporter asked him whether the result of this game meant that the suspense of the second round semi-finals was lost.

Liverpool coach Martin O'Neill, who has always been cautious, had a rare moment of "arrogance".

"I don't want to offend anyone, but it is what it is. The second leg of the semi-finals has lost its meaning. We will definitely advance to the final!"

When he said this, his voice was much higher than usual.

A surge of pride filled his chest.

In my coaching career, being able to have such a game...is worth it in my life!

The Barcelona team flew back to Barcelona overnight.

For Guardiola, he has a lot to deal with.

Even if he escaped the reporters' interception, he still had to face accountability from the club's top brass.

He also wants to give an explanation to the fans.

In addition, he also has to consider the impact this game will have on the team - in the visiting team's dressing room at Anfield, he has already seen the dejected appearance of those players. as their head coach. He has never seen anything like this with this group of players.

It seems that this game has hit them very hard.

What impact will this have on their next games?

Three days later there will be a national derby with Real Madrid, which is a game related to the ownership of the league championship.

Although he had wanted to give up the game before.

But now he has changed his mind.

There is definitely no hope for the Champions League final, and it is impossible for Barcelona to make a comeback at home.

Barcelona are now likely to face a season ending empty-handed.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Since there is no hope for the Champions League, Barcelona naturally has to put all its energy into the league.

Even if they can't win the Champions League. At least we need to win a league championship... After all, the team is still two points ahead of Real Madrid.

As long as we don't lose in the weekend's El Clasico on the road, that's fine.

A two-point advantage is enough for Barcelona to win the championship.

So the most important thing now is to appease the players and restore their morale and confidence as soon as possible.

Guardiola said nothing on the plane, thinking about how to quickly get his players out of the shadow of a big defeat.

The other players were equally silent. It was as if the plane was unmanned.

No one could figure out why they suffered such a disastrous defeat on the road.

Their performance is not good, but why is it bad?

Is that Chen Yingxiong really that powerful?

But even if he is great, there are still some of us who are on par with him. Messi, why did we lose so miserably in the end?

It can't be said that Messi's condition in this game is not good. He worked very hard in this game, and Barcelona's offense was basically launched by his dribbling and breakthrough.

Could it be that... Messi is not as good as Chen Yingxiong?

This idea flashed in the minds of Barcelona's players. Many people were shocked.

They couldn't believe it was true.

It must have been just a random thought...

Yes, that must be the case!

A group of people hypnotize themselves internally.

There is nothing we can do about this. The core of Barcelona is now Messi. If something goes wrong with Messi, it means something goes wrong with Barcelona.

In the past, the core of Barcelona was Xavi. Even if Messi was not in good condition, as long as Xavi was there, there would be no chaos.

Not anymore, Xavi has retired. Iniesta cannot replace Xavi.

Coupled with Messi's more comprehensive and improved ability in passing and assisting, his position in Barcelona's formation has become more and more important.

Barcelona today is completely inseparable from Messi. If Messi has any shortcomings...

The consequences could be disastrous!

In the past, Messi would cry in the locker room after losing important games. He was still like a child at that time.

But now he has matured a lot.

He will comfort his teammates after losing the game, just like last season's Champions League final.

He looks like a real captain now.

But in this game, he didn't do that.

As soon as the final whistle of the game sounded, he lowered his head and walked straight to the sideline. He didn't say a word in the locker room, and then he remained silent until he got on the plane.

No one rushed to disturb him, because everyone knew that he must be feeling very uncomfortable. What he needs at this time is silence, not endless comfort.

So Messi gets a quiet space.

He sat on the airplane seat with his head lowered, not knowing that he fell asleep. Still thinking.

No one saw that Messi's fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He lowered his head and bit his lower lip so hard that it almost bled.

He was angry. It’s not because we lost the game, and it’s not because we lost so miserably. It's because when his team was facing massacre, he didn't step forward to save the team. Become a Barcelona hero.

Instead, he let that guy steal the spotlight and became a mere foil.

He was angry at his own incompetence.

This account. He kept it in mind that one day. You must report it back!

When the plane from Barcelona arrived at Barcelona Airport, the media was already shaking.

Both television media and online media followed up and reported on the game as soon as possible.

Someone exclaimed, "The end of Team Cosmos is coming!"

People keep asking "Why did Barcelona lose so miserably?"

"...I seem to hear the echo of the collapse of a dynasty. We seem to be witnessing the dawn of a new era. This game is an iconic game, just like Waterloo is to Napoleon and Gettysburg is to America, Norman is to the whole of Europe! Barcelona, ​​led by Guardiola, has always been a symbol of strength and invincibility. Even if they lost to Liverpool in the Champions League final last season, it did not affect people's trust in them. Most people still believe that Barcelona is the most powerful team in today's football... But after tonight, everything will change. Barcelona was pulled from the altar and fell into a muddy pond... ...And Liverpool showed the world their strong strength through this game. I think through this game, the most powerful team in football today should change hands..."

"Liverpool succeeded in taking over, but Barcelona was pulled down by them! Liverpool has already pulled down the old-school giant Manchester United in England. Now in Europe, they have launched a general attack on the previous king Barcelona! It seems that the pattern of European football is about to happen. Great changes…”

The hosts on TV were frothing at the mouth and expressed their opinions and emotions.

There are many netizens discussing this game on the Internet.

Twitter was flooded with posts about the game.

Liverpool fans were expressing their excitement crazily. They sang praises to Liverpool Club and to Chen Yingxiong.

Countless Liverpool fans announced that they fell in love with China because of Chen Yingxiong.

Barcelona fans, on the other hand, were frustrated and angry.

The wise ones among them simply don't go online to avoid being heartbroken.

Some people are angry and starting a war with Liverpool fans online.

Countless fans of other teams are relying on the excitement to ridicule Barcelona for fear that the world will not be in chaos.

Over the years, Barcelona has been too strong, and their rise has been accompanied by a lot of controversy. There have never been rumors about them being cared for by referees. There are also reasons for themselves, such as last season's Champions League. Their performance after the final... a lot of people didn't like them.

Now that Barcelona is unlucky, the people really like to see it...
