Volume 1: The Hero Appears, Pay Attention Chapter 347 Closed Training (Second Update)

Guardiola used Chen Yingxiong's words as a psychological tactic. Some people thought Chen Yingxiong was telling a joke. They laughed and dismissed it as a fart.

No one really took this sentence to heart.

Only Liverpool's players are working hard to realize this "bullshit".

Time is very tight, only three days.

But for Liverpool players, this is not an impossible task.

Although tactical adjustments are needed, Liverpool's players are no strangers to such adjustments. They are capable of attacking, and at the beginning of each game, they are actually attacking other teams—— If other teams also attack.

Now it is just a matter of extending the attack time from ten minutes to thirty minutes to ninety minutes.

It's not impossible for them.

During these three days, it was more of a psychological adjustment than a tactical adjustment.

Martin O'Neill once again started closed training.

This made reporters very unhappy.

But not all media are dissatisfied. The Catalan media are very happy.

"...The latest news is that Martin O'Neill announced that his team will be closed for training... he declined all reporters' interview requests and will not be open to the public... What does this mean? This shows that they are afraid of us, Barcelona! Because they are worried about themselves Your tactics were seen by reporters, causing leaks... But I want to say - the whole world knows about your tactics, what else is there to hide? "

"Closed training is very stupid. He is telling the world that 'Liverpool is afraid, so they have to conduct closed training'..."

"There are still three days before the game, and O'Neal has just started closed training. I don't know why O'Neal is so crazy? In only three days, what can be trained in closed training? Even if they have an idea Three days is not enough for a good idea. This kind of temporary change of tactics will only make the team confused and unable to adapt, which will eventually lead to more serious consequences..."

If you only look at the Catalan media. You'd think the game was over. Liverpool lost to the powerful Barcelona at home without any suspense.

The Catalans were so optimistic that even Barcelona's players thought it was like this - Liverpool was a little confused by their strong pressing force.

In fact, these people only guessed half of it right. Liverpool did adjust their tactics temporarily, but well... the reason was not because of their huge threat.

Just like this, Barcelona arrived in Liverpool one day before the game.

At John Lennon Airport, the team received a warm welcome from Barcelona fans who came to Liverpool in advance. There were approximately 500 people at the airport to greet their idol.

These Barcelona fans wore Barcelona jerseys and held various welcome slogans, as well as posters and portraits of the stars.

For a while. The exits at John Lennon Airport are filled with a variety of Catalan accents.

Many passengers from Liverpool were stunned as soon as they came out - they thought they had taken the wrong plane and landed in Barcelona...

While the media was reporting on Barcelona's arrival in Liverpool, the entire Liverpool team was still training in isolation.

This is the last training before the game.

The main thing is the practice of set pieces, which is also a fixed subject before every game, nothing special. However, this kind of training is generally not open to the public.

After having Chen Yingxiong, set kicks are one of Liverpool's main scoring tools, because his header is so powerful...

Although it is a closed training, there are still many media waiting outside the Melwood training base.

After training, the team takes a bus to their hotel.

For them, closed training is over. They can go interview the players.

Of course, they have no control over whether the players are willing to be interviewed by them, or whether they are willing to tell the truth even if they are interviewed...

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the last training session before the game ended.

Martin O'Neal summoned all the players, whether they were going to play tomorrow or not at all.

The players formed a circle, with O'Neal standing inside the circle.

He told everyone: "Tomorrow will be the most important game that our Liverpool will face. In fact, it is just a Champions League semi-final, but why do I say that? Because this game will be the beginning of our Liverpool's journey to glory. The starting point. We will use the victory of this game to completely destroy all enemies who dare to stand in front of us! Even the strongest Barcelona will bow under our feet! We will let the whole Europe and the whole world know it! , Liverpool is invincible! This game (-< >-house.fastest update.) is proof that we are not talking big words, dreams and nonsense! Since we can beat them once in last year's final, then we You can defeat them twice, defeat them three times, defeat them... countless times!"

After spending time with Chen Yingxiong for a long time, Martin O'Neill felt that he had become a little arrogant... There was always a feeling of "looking down at the world's heroes, but mediocre" when speaking and moving.

I have to say that Chen Yingxiong’s great ideal is very tempting to him. If he is the head coach of such an invincible team, then how important he will be in the future history... No A head coach can reach his own height. Such achievements are what all head coaches dream of.

But they have no chance, they are delusions that can only exist in their minds. I am extremely lucky to have such an opportunity.

Of course you have to hold on tight!

If you fail, the opportunity is gone and will never come back.

So this time, only success is allowed. No failure allowed!

His determination to win was felt by every Liverpool player. They looked at each other, not quite understanding why the boss was so murderous today...

They didn't know Chen Yingxiong's great ideal. Chen Yingxiong didn't tell them, and neither did Martin O'Neill.

After all. This thing is too shocking. They are all worried about this matter in such an important game. To distract everyone...

Barcelona's defense general Piqué was interviewed by reporters at the exit of the airport.

Facing the microphones of many reporters, he had a serious expression on his face.

"Revenge? Yes. We are here for revenge!"

Let’s get straight to the point. There was no nonsense, Barcelona's determination came rushing out.

When the reporters heard what Piqua said, they all smiled happily.

They know that this game must be exciting!

A team that is good at offense meets a team that is good at defensive counterattacks, a showdown between the strongest offense and the strongest defense!

Just thinking about it makes their blood boil, and they can't wait for the game to start right away.

Witness the ultimate showdown between two of the most powerful teams in football today!

※ ※ ※

When Chen Yingxiong arrived at the hotel with the team, he heard Piqu's words from reporters.

As Liverpool's "external spokesperson". Chen Yingxiong naturally has to stand up for his team at this time.

He said lightly: "Many teams declared that they wanted revenge when they met us. But the final result is..." Chen Yingxiong scratched his neck with his hand. Everyone knows this action. . "So the excuse of revenge is the least interesting. I hope Barcelona can find fresh excuses, they are very good at doing this..."

Then he began to imitate the tone of the Barcelona players: "We had a high ball possession rate and it was unfair to lose the game. We had a high pass success rate and it was unfair to lose the game. We had a lot of shots and it was confusing to lose the game." We are perfect, flawless, unparalleled in the world, and invincible in the universe, but we just lost the game. This must be because of the wrong rules of football!”

Seeing him vividly imitating the tone of voice of Barcelona players, the reporters around him were laughing so hard. And some of the Liverpool players burst out laughing.

After last season's Champions League final, Liverpool defeated Barcelona and won the championship. A few days after the game, Catalan media reported that Barcelona was dissatisfied with losing to Liverpool.

At that time, Barcelona's main midfielder Iniesta said: "Our possession rate of the ball was higher than Liverpool's throughout the game, and our passing success rate was also higher than theirs. We had many opportunities. But the winner in the end was Liverpool... this is unreasonable, this is so unfair to us!”

Such lack of grace caused many media to ridicule Barcelona at the time.

Later, Guardiola came out to protect his players, claiming that the media had misinterpreted the meaning of his favorite general. Iniesta was just sad after losing the game and did not mean any disrespect to the champion Liverpool.

But his explanation was of no use at all and was feeble.

Over the years, everyone knows what Barcelona's virtues are - they cannot afford to lose.

They believe that they represent the most advanced football development direction in today's football world. They deserve to win, and the banner of offensive football will be planted all over the world. To deny Barcelona victory would be a step backwards for football, it would be ugly, despicable and an intolerable scandal.

As for the various protections FIFA and UEFA give them in terms of rules, they take this for granted - who calls our football the most beautiful, the most artistic and the most dazzling? If you are jealous, you also play the same football as us!

The most beautiful things should be carefully protected. Otherwise, why should exquisite works of art be placed in museums and carefully collected?

Your ugly football is just like the stones that can be seen everywhere on the earth. Does such a thing have any value and significance?

Now Chen Yingxiong, the stone in the pit, is mocking and irritating Barcelona.

Those who were unhappy with Barcelona were certainly relieved to see it.

Amid laughter, Chen Yingxiong walked into the hotel.

Gerrard came up and patted him on the shoulder: "You boy. What you said made Barcelona so angry!"

Chen Yingxiong laughed: "I'm afraid they won't be angry!" (To be continued)! ~!
