Chapter 510 Nightmare Night

Three to one, Liverpool won a great victory!

This is not the boast of Yang Yang and others, but the evaluation given by a Spanish media reporter at the post-match press conference.

Benitez also said in an interview with the media, "This is a game worth remembering!"

"At the pre-match press conference, many media reporters were worried that it would be a show of gorgeous Spanish football crushing England's rough football, I said no, on the contrary, I think the atmosphere of the game between the two teams It's going to be very good, and you saw it today, the result and the process, it's really pretty good."

Many reporters at the scene were embarrassed after hearing it, and they couldn't help but feel a bit of slander in their hearts.

Of course you think everything is fine if you win, but what about Barcelona who lost?

Ask the embarrassed Rijkaard next to you, does he think the atmosphere of the game is good?

Benitez is obviously not enough, and he directly mentioned a problem that the Catalan media made for him before the game.

At that time, a media believed that in this match between Barcelona and Liverpool, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and even believed that in the eyes of Barcelona, ​​Liverpool was never regarded as an opponent.

Benitez's response at the time was that Liverpool was the Champions League champion in 2005 and Barcelona was the Champions League champion in 2006. This is a matchup between the Champions League champions in the past two seasons. The difference in strength is far less than that big. .

But now, as the winner, Benitez said with a smile, "Maybe in the eyes of many Barcelona people, we were never one of the opponents, but tonight, at Camp Nou, the opponent who was not the opponent succeeded. Takes away an away win."

Benitez was not too provocative, but this remark was enough to slap his face.

Not only Rijkaard was embarrassed, but even many media reporters on the scene were very embarrassed.

Before the game, almost most of the Spanish media reporters looked down on Liverpool, because Barcelona was too strong.

In the past two years, in European football, when it comes to Barcelona's second dream team and Ronaldinho, who doesn't admire it?

But tonight, this aloof and mighty dream second team was pushed to the ground by Liverpool.

For this game, Benitez said that the team won in the efficiency of the counterattack, and Yang Yang was the key to the team's victory.

"I'm very satisfied with the performance of the players, they played very well, they trained hard, they played very hard, everyone gave a lot to win this game, and everyone knows that playing Barcelona is never a problem. It was easy, especially still at the Camp Nou, but we did a great job on the counter-attack."

"I'm very happy to see Yang Yang, who is omnipotent, he is a player who makes me think there is nothing wrong with him, he always trains the hardest, plays the hardest, and the three goals tonight were all very beautiful. ."

"Last season, he scored a hat-trick at the Bernabeu, and this season he scored a hat-trick at Camp Nou. I think it should be a good story, but I think he still has a lot of potential to tap. He's only twenty years old."

Benitez believes that the team's 10-day training camp in Portugal is crucial and has played a role, but he does not think that the team has secured the victory and won the promotion right.

"There is still the second half of the game. At best, we can only say that we have seized the opportunity, but we still have to be cautious. Barcelona is a team full of mysterious and unpredictable strength. Any team that relaxes a little may suffer a disastrous defeat ."

In the end, Benitez also thanked the Liverpool fans who came to the away game.

In the final stage of the game, a very small number of Liverpool fans sang the team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" at Camp Nou, and the momentum even overwhelmed more than 90,000 fans of the home team, which shows the madness of Liverpool fans at that time.

...

Relative to Benitez's good mood, Rijkaard regretted losing.

The Dutch coach believes that the reason for the loss is that after taking the lead, the team played a bit of a safe ball and lacked the passion of the game.

"We unknowingly slowed down on the offensive end, and it cost us a lot."

Rijkaard also admitted that many players were a little out of shape.

"Our opponents had ten days more preparation time than us, but we had to insist on continuous battles, which caused the players to be a little out of shape, which became more obvious after the draw."

"There is no doubt that Yang Yang is the key to this game. He is the best player in the game. We didn't find a good way to restrain him, which made us suffer a painful blow. The game is very important.”

"We have to think about it. If we want to beat Liverpool on the road, we must first find a way to freeze Yang Yang."

At the end of the press conference, Rijkaard was also asked by media reporters about Eto'o. The Cameroon striker was absent from this important duel, while Saviola, who replaced him, and Good Johnson, who appeared in the last ten minutes of the second half, both Obviously lack of strength to replace him, so many media are concerned about the next situation of Eto'o.

Rijkaard said that Eto'o did not enter the squad, it was a request made by the players themselves, mainly because he was not in a particularly ideal state recently and was under great pressure.

As for Valdez, who made successive mistakes, Rijkaard gave comfort, saying that everyone can understand his mistakes.

"We have to accept it because it's part of the game of football and the real team has to stay together whether they win or lose, especially now that we have to be more calm."

Rijkaard also did not give up hope at Anfield, saying the team still has a chance.

...

Not only Rijkaard, but many Barcelona players publicly stated in interviews with the media after the game that the team has the ability to make a comeback on the road, including Valdes who made a major mistake.

Yang Yang also accepted interviews from Spanish, British and Chinese media after the game. He was very satisfied with his hat-trick, but kept saying that these were all support from the team and teammates.

"I think it's too early to say promotion. The second round is still full of suspense. It's hard to say who will win."

As for his two consecutive seasons, he has overcome the world's most difficult devil's home Bernabeu and Camp Nou with hat tricks, Yang Yang said with a smile that this is purely a coincidence.

"These are two great club teams and I'm proud to score goals in games like this."

When asked by the Catalan media, Yang Yang smiled and said that Messi is a powerful player, but he may not be in his best condition now.

"In fact, I never cared about who was better between me and Messi, I was more concerned with how to help the team win."

But obviously, Yang Yang's answer did not satisfy the Catalan media.

Nightmare Night!

The World Sports newspaper had such a front page headline the next day.

In the report, the World Sports News directly aimed at Rijkaard, believing that there was a serious problem in the formation of the Dutch coach, and he was completely defeated in the contest with Benitez.

"The most obvious example is that Benitez's first substitution took place in the 80th minute, and two minutes later, Rijkaard used his last substitution, and at this time, the Liverpool manager had There are two substitutions left."

"Of course, this doesn't explain the problem, but it can prove that in this peak match, whether it is the coach, the team, or the team itself, Barcelona is defeated in all directions!"

Rijkaard's second charge against Rijkaard by the World Sports News is to slaughter the seedlings and encourage them. In such an important game, it is obviously a big failure to reuse the young player Messi.

"In this crucial game, Messi played the whole game, touched the ball 39 times, passed 26 times, and was tackled 6 times. This is definitely not what a qualified main player should show. The data."

"After a long period of injury, Messi only made two substitute appearances, starting in such an important game, and as a result his performance was sluggish and he was temporarily moved from the right to Avelo on the left. Ya froze completely."

The World Sports Daily has not forgotten to create contradictions and conflicts between Yang Yang and Messi.

"In the eyes of many people, Messi has always been compared with Yang Yang, but in fact, Yang Yang has been squeezed into the top five in the world football player rankings. He led Ajax to the Champions League semi-finals by himself. Leading the Premier League scorer list this season and also leading the Champions League scorer list, but what about Messi?"

"Cruyff once said that it was a crime to use young players like Gago and Higuain as the savior in Real Madrid, but in Barcelona, ​​the younger Messi was played as the savior. , this is definitely a sadness!"

...

If it is said that the World Sports News has no morals, then the Daily Sports News is no less so.

On the second day, the Daily Sports said publicly, "Barcelona needs Eto'o!"

The headlines on the front page believed that Rijkaard was taking the future of the team as a tool to maintain his authority.

"In the post-match press conference, when Rijkaard was asked about Eto'o, he said something like this, when Eto'o told me personally that when he was ready, I would put him in the big game. list."

"Obviously, the reason why he excluded Eto'o from the squad is to make the Cameroonian striker soft."

"But in this game against Liverpool, we can see that the team created a lot of chances throughout the game, but it never made a threat. The team needs a player like Eto'o. A key scorer who can make a decision."

"The Cameroonian striker scored five goals before his injury in September and is still fifth in the team, ahead of him Ronaldinho with nineteen and Saviola with twelve Goals, but seven were in the Copa del Rey, Good Johnson 10, five in the Copa del Rey and the Club World Cup."

"It can be seen that the team lacked a solid scorer, but Rijkaard kept Eto'o out because of personal grudges. This is definitely a crime!"

...

But aside from Catalonia scrambling to hold accountable, the world's media was inundated with praise for Liverpool.

Especially Yang Yang, who scored a hat-trick and once again led the Champions League scorer list!
