1143 The Rudiments of Super Teams Competing for Hegemony Take Shape

Guardiola's remarks at the post-match press conference can be summed up in two words in the eyes of the media: hard-talking!

Now the media does not have to make things difficult for Guardiola too much.

After all, the first 90 minutes of the two rounds of the knockout round were only completed, in case Barcelona did perform a miracle in the next second round.

The current sarcasm and run, sarcasm, and insults will become things that will make Guardiola or outside spectators more proud after that.

The media are very patient, and they know how to create momentum.

For a fledgling young coach who has ascended to the top position in European football, the media will naturally praise him, but the heart is actually expecting him to fall from the high position!

That kind of story has wonderful drama, just like when Qin Xiong was injured in the past, the media would also say that Qin Xiong, a superstar, had signs of falling.

Let Guardiola be tough now. After the second round of the game is over, let's see the result. At that time, whether Guardiola can only be tough or really hard, we will see the result naturally!

Although Koeman celebrated the victory with the players in the locker room, his state completely changed after he walked out of the locker room.

Low-key, serious, calm, and restrained.

When he appeared at the post-match press conference, the reporters on Fleet Street applauded him collectively!

You must know that Barcelona's strong continuity is longer than that of Real Madrid in the previous season!

The image of Barcelona becoming a king-level team is also more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There is a saying circulating in football: The whole world is studying how to restrain Barcelona!

There are indeed teams that can make Barcelona lose.

But being able to beat Barcelona dizzily like Liverpool today, made Barcelona leave Anfield a little bit uselessly. Liverpool is the first team in the past two years!

In this way, it goes without saying that Koeman's achievements will make Fleet Street proud.

In particular, Fleet Street still has a more or less tendentious antipathy stance towards Barcelona.

Because last season, the tragedy that happened at Stamford Bridge made Fleet Street very sad!

Ever since, Liverpool was able to beat Barcelona, ​​and with such a disparity in score.Fleet Street has no reason not to applaud Koman.

And Koman's attitude of not being shocked by honor or disgrace has won praise from Fleet Street.

"Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-1 today, what's the secret to winning?"

Koeman said indifferently: "As I said before the game, the team, Liverpool did two things today, the first is defense, and the second is offense. Especially when defense and offense are combined, we have control over the conversion of offense and defense. It's very commendable. It's the secret to our victory over Barcelona."

Fleet Street reporters liked Koman's speech, but reporters from other countries seemed less interested, while reporters from Spain were filled with righteous indignation and held a fire in their hearts.

damn it!

You use Liverpool's lineup, which is already considered to be the best in European football, to defend against counterattacks, what else can you say!

There are Spanish journalists fighting for Barcelona.Asked Koeman: "Does Liverpool only pursue victory in the game? With Carragher, Alonso, Gerrard, Qin Xiong, Torres and other top players, Liverpool can only hide in their own half. Wouldn't that make Liverpool look unmotivated?"

Coman's mentality is stable.Slowly said: "If you only see that the essence of this game is the defensive counterattack, then I can only say that this is one-sided and superficial. There are many teams that use defensive counterattacks to deal with Barcelona, ​​but they have not succeeded. Liverpool succeeded. As I said, we did a good job defensively and offensively. This is not as simple as the head coach arranging a defensive counterattack strategy, letting the defensive players stay in the second half and the offensive players prepare to attack forward. We don't need to talk about this. The knockout round is not over yet, Liverpool are only 4-1 ahead of Barcelona now, and there is the next game. Maybe Liverpool will be reversed."

"If Liverpool are going to be overturned, it's your incompetence!"

"Oh. Maybe, but I will look at it this way. Now we are in a critical period. Liverpool must be calm, maintain a good attitude, and must not be complacent. I still say the same thing, a two-legged knockout game, regardless of the score in the first leg What, in the second round, we have to forget about the score, so that we can play at our normal level, and not get carried away or depressed by the score in the first leg. What I experienced, what I really saw, There are many typical examples of comebacks from three goals behind, Barcelona is such a strong opponent, we must be vigilant against this."

The reporters on Fleet Street once again applauded Koeman collectively. They think Koeman is still great at this point.

Liverpool chose a new coach before the season. They were not optimistic about Koeman, but now that they think about it, Koeman has reached the top of Europe and enjoyed glory. He also had a complete failure in Valencia and walked through the trough. I have seen it all.

Now he knows how to face different environments and situations, and bring stability to Liverpool's army. This is the most important thing.

Liverpool's 4:1 victory over Barcelona in the first round of knockout at Anfield shocked Europe!

Being able to give Barcelona such a tragic defeat, Liverpool first won the favor of all bookmakers. The odds of Liverpool winning the Champions League dropped sharply, becoming the number one favorite to win the championship!

And the evaluation of Liverpool by various European media has skyrocketed!

"Liverpool beat Barcelona! The Red Army will defeat the defending champion!"

"Keman taught Guardiola a lesson!"

"Qin Xiong defeated Messi head-on!"

"The Red Army dreamed back to the dynasty era overnight!"

......

In addition to these, no reporter pointed out in the analysis that European football may usher in an era of chaotic confrontation after Liverpool's resurgence!

Real Madrid, the European champions of the previous season, has a strong lineup. Although they were completely ravaged by Liverpool this season, as time goes by, Real Madrid will become a super strong team that cannot be ignored after running in and growing!

Barcelona is recognized as a contemporary king-level team. Even if it is finally eliminated by Liverpool this season, Barcelona's status will not decline rapidly!

Now with the revival of Liverpool, maybe in the next few years, there will be a triwizard battle for hegemony!

These super strong teams will throw off the ordinary strong teams and become behemoths above everyone else, and the war between them will become the mainstream of European football in the next stage!

Such predictions are not uncommon, but the future is always full of variables. Whether it is a Triwizard competition or more top teams will appear, no one can accurately predict. (to be continued~^~)
