Chapter three hundred and forty seventh closed training
Guardiola used Chen Yingxiong's words as psychological tactics. Some people also thought Chen Yingxiong was telling a joke. They laughed and said it was a fart.
No one really took this sentence to heart.
Only Liverpool players are working hard to realize this "nonsense".
Time is very tight, only three days.
But for Liverpool players, this is not an impossible task.
Although there is a need for tactical adjustment, Liverpool players are not unfamiliar with this adjustment. They have the ability to attack, 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 of more than ten to thirty minutes to ninety minutes.
For them, it is not to the point where it is impossible to accomplish.
During these three days, it is not so much a tactical adjustment, but rather a psychological adjustment.
Martin O'Neal once again started closed training.
This made the reporters very dissatisfied.
But not all media are dissatisfied with it, and the Catalan media is very happy about their performance.
"……………Latest news, Martin O’Neal announced that his team was closed for training……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Close training is very stupid. He is telling the whole world that 'Liverpool is afraid, so he has to close training...'
"O'Neal has only three days before the game, but O'Neal started to train closed. I don't know what O'Neal is crazy about his brain? In only three days, what can closed training be trained? Even if they have any good ideas for a clue, three days are far from enough. This temporary tactic change will only make the team at a loss and unable to adapt, and eventually lead to more serious consequences..."
If you only look at the Catalan media, you will think the game is over and Liverpool lost to the powerful Barcelona without any suspense at home.
The Catalans are so optimistic that even Barcelona players think this is the case - Liverpool is a little confused by their strong oppression.
In fact, these people only guessed half of them. Liverpool did make temporary adjustments to their tactics. But... the reason is not because of their huge threat.

In this way, Barcelona arrived at Liverpool just one day before the game.
At John Lennon Airport, the team was warmly welcomed by Barcelona fans who came to Liverpool early, with about 500 people greeting their idols at the airport.
These Barcelona fans wore Barcelona jerseys, held various welcome slogans, and posters and portraits of stars.
For a moment, the exit of John Lennon Airport was filled with various Catalan accents.
Many Liverpool passengers were stunned as soon as they came out - they thought they had made the wrong plane and came to Barcelona...
When the media reported on the grand occasion of Barcelona's arrival at Liverpool, the entire Liverpool team was still training in closed areas.
This is the last training session before the game.
The main thing is to do set pieces, which is also a fixed subject before each game, and there is nothing special about it. However, this kind of training is generally not open to the public.
After having Chen Yingxiong, set pieces are one of Liverpool's most important scoring tools, because his heading is really amazing...
Although it was closed training, there were still many media waiting outside the Melwood training base.
After the training, the team will take a bus to the hotel where they are staying.
For them, the closed training is over and they can interview the players.
Of course, as for whether the players are willing to accept their interviews, even if they accept the interview and are willing to tell the truth, they can't control it...
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the last training session before the game ended.
Martin O'Neal gathered all the players, whether they were going to play tomorrow or they were not on the 18-man roster at all.
The players formed a circle and O'Neal stood inside the circle.
He told everyone: "Tomorrow will be the most important game facing Liverpool. In fact, it is just a semi-final of the Champions League. But why should I say that? Because this game will be the starting point for our Liverpool toward glory. We must use the victory of this game to completely destroy all enemies who dare to stop us! Even the strongest Barcelona must bow down to our feet! We must let the whole Europe and the whole world know that Liverpool is invincible! This game is a proof, proving that we are not talking big, sleeping and nonsense! Since we can defeat them once in the final last year, we can defeat them twice, three times, and defeat them... countless times!"
After spending time with Chen Yingxiong for a long time, Martin O'Neal felt that he had become a little arrogant... In his every move, he always felt like "looking down on the heroes in the world, but he was just Er's."
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 head coach can reach his own height. Such results are what all head coaches dream of.
But they have no chance, they are delusions that can only exist in their minds. They are extremely lucky to have such an opportunity.
Of course we have to grasp it firmly!
If it fails, then the opportunity will disappear and will not be repeated.
Therefore, this time, you are only allowed to succeed, not fail!
His aura of winning was felt by every Liverpool player. They looked at each other and didn't understand why the boss was so murderous today...
They didn't know Chen Yingxiong's great ideal. Chen Yingxiong didn't tell them, and Martin O'Neal didn't say it.
After all, this matter is so shocking. They are all worried that in such an important game, because this matter distracts everyone...

Barcelona's defender Pique was interviewed by reporters at the airport exit.
Facing the microphones of many reporters, the expression on his face was very serious.
"Revenge? Yes, we are here to take revenge!"
With no nonsense, Barcelona's determination came to his face.
When the reporters heard Pi Kui say this, they all smiled.
They know ·This game must be awesome!
A team that is good at attacking, and a team that is good at defensive counterattacking, the showdown between the strongest offense and the strongest defense!
Just thinking about it made them excited and they wished the competition would begin soon.
Witness the peak showdown between these two most powerful teams in football today!
※※※
When Chen Yingxiong followed the team to the hotel where he stayed, he heard Pi Kui's words from the reporters.
As Liverpool's "external spokesperson", Chen Yingxiong naturally has to stand out for his team at this time.
He said lightly: "Many teams declare that they want to take revenge when they meet us. But the final result is......" Chen Yingxiong scratched his neck with his hand, and everyone understood this move. "So the excuse of revenge is the most meaningless. I hope Barcelona can find a fresh excuse, they are very good at doing this..."
Then he began to imitate the tone of Barcelona players: "We have a high ball possession rate, and it is unfair to lose the game. Our pass success rate is high and it is unreasonable to lose the game. Our shots are too many, and it is confusing to lose the game. We are perfect and flawless in the world, but if we lose the game, it must be that the rules of football are wrong!"
Seeing him imitating the tone of Barcelona players' speech, the reporters around him had long laughed and laughed back and forth, and some of the Liverpool players were even more out of breath.
After the Champions League final last season, Liverpool beat Barcelona and won the championship. A few days after the game, Catalonia media reported that Barcelona was going up and down and was very dissatisfied with losing to Liverpool.
At that time, Barcelona's main midfielder Iniesta said: "Our ball possession rate was higher than that of Liverpool in the whole game, and our pass success rate was higher than that of them, so we had many opportunities. But the winner was Liverpool... This was unreasonable. For us, this was too unfair!"
If he was so ungraceful, many media also sarcastically sarcastic about Barcelona at that time.
Later, Guardiola came forward to protect his players, claiming that the media misinterpreted his favorite players' meaning. Iniesta just felt sad after losing the game and had no intention of being disrespectful to the champion Liverpool.
But his explanation was useless at all, pale and powerless.
Over the years, everyone knows what Barcelona is doing - they can't 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 surely sprout around the world. Not allowing Barcelona to win is the regression of football, which is ugly, despicable, and an intolerable scandal.
As for the various protections of FIFA and UEFA for their rules, they take it for granted - who says our football is the most beautiful, artistic and dazzling? If you envy, jealous and hate, you will also play the same football as us!
The most beautiful things should be carefully protected, otherwise why should all exquisite artworks be placed in museums and carefully collected?
Your ugly football is like a stone that can be seen everywhere on the earth. Is this kind of thing of value and significance?
Now Chen Yingxiong's stone in the pit is mocking and stimulating Barcelona.
Of course, those who are not happy with Barcelona feel relieved.
Amid laughter, Chen Yingxiong walked into the hotel.
Gerald came up and patted him on the shoulder: "You boy.
Your words made Barcelona so angry!”
Chen Yingxiong laughed: "I'm afraid they won't be angry!"
Chapter completed!
