In fact, although there is no defending champion Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, if you trace the origin of the coaches of the three teams in the semi-finals, you cannot do without Barcelona.

Maybe ordinary fans wouldn't think of it, but the media naturally knew it well.

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho.

Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal.

Liverpool coach Koeman.

The three were all coached by Van Gaal in Barcelona before, and the other two assisted Koeman.

Koeman is a member of the coaching staff and Mourinho is a translator and assistant.

Time has passed, and I didn't expect the three to meet in the Champions League semi-finals this season. I have to say that fate is unpredictable but full of drama.

As for Lyon, because of the lowest reputation and the least favored, no one cares about it.

When it was Koeman's turn to attend the press conference before the Champions League, he talked about the past history, the years of working with Van Gaal.

"Van Gaal is a great coach. He has his own unique stance and style. I have seen and learned a lot from him. Every work experience has helped me a lot, and working with Van Gaal has also helped me. Exception, I am happy to meet him in the Champions League semi-final, we have no problems and if Bayern Munich reach the final I wish him and his team well."

After becoming the Liverpool coach and leading the team to win the Premier League championship, Koeman's external image also began to change.

It's not just about being a little humble, it's about being more gentlemanly.

There is no need to make an enemy of the world, and there is no need to be as domineering as Mourinho. Koeman prefers a gentle and humble image to avoid huge public opinion pressure on Liverpool.

He knows that he is not yet able to fight against the media alone like Mourinho, and isolate the dressing room from the media through his own "war", so he hopes to win the favor of the media with a humble attitude and let the media be his subordinates show mercy.

Although he knows successful teams, successful people.The outside world will look at it from a different perspective and expect and wait for successful people and teams to make mistakes and then criticize them.

But before the failure occurs, he still does not want to have sharp conflicts with the media and make the relationship worse.

As for his peers, he is even less interested in starting a war.Even if there are indeed grievances and grievances in the past, he is willing to turn hostility into jade silk, if it is not possible, it will be out of sight.

In view of Koeman's attitude, the reporters did not pursue the past between him and Van Gaal to get to the bottom of it, but instead shifted the topic to the game itself.

"Liverpool played on the counter-attack against Real Madrid and Barcelona with great success. Does that mean Liverpool will do the same against Bayern Munich?"

Koeman replied calmly: "We will arrange tactics according to the opponent's style, technical and tactical characteristics. Liverpool will not remain unchanged. Bayern Munich is not Real Madrid or Barcelona. Liverpool will play tomorrow night with a new style. Get ready for the game.”

"So Liverpool will try to turn away at the Allianz Arena?"

"It will be difficult because it is on Bayern Munich's ground. I can only say that Liverpool's original intention will not change. We will strive to take away the victory at the Allianz Arena."

"For Bayern Munich's two key players, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, has Liverpool thought of a way to restrain them?"

"Of course we will pay attention to the opponent's offensive core players. But I still say that football is a sport of team confrontation, and the overall offensive and defensive restrictions are the most important."

......

The next night, at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich fans created a magnificent cheering scene in the stands.

In contrast, Liverpool fans who came from afar were submerged in the crowd.

Players from Liverpool and Bayern Munich stand in the tunnel for the match.

Qin Xiong and Robben had a reminiscence at the end of the line, and they hugged each other when they met.

Robben hugged Qin Xiong's neck and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet so soon. And it's still in the semi-finals of the Champions League."

Qin Xiong asked jokingly, "Then are you happy?"

Robben grinned and said, "Of course I'm not happy, but thinking about it, I'm still a little excited."

"What? Isn't it enough to be my opponent?"

Qin Xiong and Robben can be described as "love each other and kill each other".From Holland to England to Madrid.Now it's back to the old hostile state.

Robben moved closer to Qin Xiong's ear and whispered, "Whether it's you or me who finally stepped onto the stage of the Champions League final, have you ever thought about what kind of scene it will be?"

The corner of Qin Xiong's mouth curled into a beautiful arc, and he understood the subtext in Robben's words.

He looked at Robben's eyes, and the two laughed at the same time.

Bernabéu!

This season's Champions League final will be at the Bernabeu!

In any case, whether it is Robben or Qin Xiong, in fact, they cannot forget the years of fighting side by side at the Bernabéu.

Because at that time they almost reached perfection and became the masters of the king who made the European heroes fear!

It's always special to return to the Bernabeu after being sent out or turned away by Real Madrid, and it's all the more thrilling to be on the final stage of the Champions League, at the door of the king of the Champions League.

Qin Xiong and Robben finally shook hands, patted each other on the back, and walked into their respective teams.

Under the leadership of the referee team, players from the two teams walked into the Allianz Arena with their heads held high.

The Champions League theme song began to echo in the stadium, and the atmosphere in the Allianz Arena was extremely hot.

Looking around the court, Qin Xiong's eyes are full of infinite fighting spirit.

Every day, he is trying to get better, and the goal has never changed.

He wants to be the best one.

Now some fans have said: Qin Xiong is only one World Cup short of being crowned king!

But Qin Xiong doesn't think so.

The reality will be like this, even if you do everything you can, you will be helpless in the end.

For the World Cup, he can only go all out, but the hope is really slim.

But in the club arena, the situation is completely different.

He can achieve greater glory!

Loot all champions within your reach!

He is to be remembered, to be sung as a legend.

Ten years later, 20 years later, and 50 years later, when people recall today's history, remember the victors and the most brilliant figures of this era.

Compared with too many legendary players in history, Qin Xiong, who has already won three Champions Leagues, does not seem to have a prominent advantage in honor. Qin Xiong, who has become Mr. Golden Ball twice, is not considered the absolute king of this era. .

Three Champions League titles are not enough.

Two Golden Globes are not enough!

Then loot more!

More!

More! (to be continued~^~)
