166. Pre-game press conference (ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for subscription)

On the morning of April 2, Manchester City's headquarters, Manchester City's pre-match press conference against Dortmund at home was in full swing.

Although Dortmund is a scary team in the Bundesliga, has performed well in the Champions League, and has won the Big Ears Cup in history, looking at Manchester City's current hot form, although the outside public opinion is not one-sided, but generally believes that Manchester City is more likely to qualify.

"We and Dortmund are dark horses! Luckily, there is always a dark horse that will appear on the Final Four stage, and unfortunately one of us will be eliminated! Wen Sheng joked at the press conference, "We have an equal chance, and it doesn't look too good to be the host and guest first, but I don't think it has a big impact on us!" ”

Speaking about Borussia Dortmund's team, he was not shy about his victory, "I think they are a really good team, Jurgen's team is playing beautiful football, in short, I like them very much! ”

The match between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals is actually considered one of the most interesting matchups by the outside world.

First of all, both teams are actually home-ghosts, Manchester City's average age is not very old, Dortmund is even worse, both teams have a reputation as youth in their respective leagues, but in the eyes of experts, Manchester City's side may be a little more reasonable in terms of matching.

Secondly, the two young marshals faced off again. Needless to say, Wen Sheng is the hottest young coach in Europe, and his resume is also quite bright, and his three-year career at Crystal Palace led Crystal Palace to win the Europa League, FA Cup, and Premier League respectively, and Klopp was not there, leading Dortmund to win the league championship and the German Cup.

The title in the hands of the two is full of gold, and it is not easy to challenge the traditional giants and upstarts such as Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League, and Dortmund must challenge Bayern Munich, the hegemon of German football and even European football.

The media has found out that the personal relationship between Wensheng and Klopp is good, and the conversation between the two in the group stage ended with a handshake, but this time they met in the quarterfinals, and the two no longer had a way to shake hands and make peace.

The third point of view, the duel between young people.

Borussia Dortmund's GΓΆtze is famous, he was the winner of the Golden Boy Award in 2011, and he has played extremely well under Jurgen Klopp, but Manchester City has De Bruyne, who is almost a year older than Gotze, and is already known as the top midfielder in European football, and has shown a double-double performance in all competitions for Manchester City this season.

Wen Sheng complained to the media a long time ago that the Golden Boy Award was not won once, which was simply a joke.

The media vaguely noticed that Wen Sheng seemed to be very dissatisfied with this, and he did not have a high opinion of the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, the last evaluation of Isco was ambiguous, and he didn't seem to value this title at all, and when evaluating Gotze this time, Wen Sheng said: "I don't know if he deserves the Golden Boy Award!" I don't think this award is so important to him! ”。

In short, there are all kinds of things, and the outside media has put a lot of reasons for this game to be "they must be exciting".

Wen Sheng's restless daughter-in-law, but Cheryl analyzed in a column in the "Guardian" that this is a test of willpower!

"Both teams are very young, they may not have a lot of experience in the Champions League, the most contested in the two legs should be willpower, the strength of the two teams is not much different, only with a strong psychological quality can you win in the knockout stage,......"

Wen Sheng also agreed with his daughter-in-law's statement at today's pre-match press conference. I love

"We have to be aware of the enemy we are facing, Dortmund are very difficult to deal with, they are really good, they have not suffered defeat in the Champions League this season, we have to be careful, the most important thing in such a game is to test the willpower of both sides, who is more calm, who is stronger, who can laugh at the end!"

Wensheng is not only reminding the players but also reminding himself, and he must not be negligent at any time.

......

At Borussia Dortmund's Brackel training centre, Jurgen Klopp held a pre-match press conference a little later in the game at Manchester City.

Compared with the previous unhappiness, Uncle Scum has fully accepted the fact that the opponent in the quarterfinals is Manchester City, and there are some things that cannot be changed, so I can only accept it, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to talk about the game against Manchester City in another way, after all, everyone has been fighting for two games, so it can be regarded as familiar.

"Jurgen, what do you think of the opponents you are about to face, Manchester City, and their manager Daniel. Wen? A reporter from the local Dortmund media outlet Ruhr News asked Klopp.

"They're amazing! I think they're on the same page as some of the other top teams in Europe! ”

Klopp paused slightly, only to be interrupted by reporters.

"You mean your Dortmund doesn't belong in this category?!"

"Of course we're in the ranks!" Klopp immediately laughed and said, no matter how you say it, you can't just raise the morale of others and treat yourself as a Beijing board, right?!

'In the last few months they've shown good form, I can't even remember the last time they lost! Klopp had a serious expression again, and answered the reporter's question seriously.

'As for Daniel, yes, maybe he's one of the best managers in Europe right now, and to be honest I've always been amazed at what he's achieved, I think he's a great manager!'

"Who do you think is the more dangerous in the Manchester City ranks?! What do you think of Kevin De Bruyne? The reporter then asked.

"Who's more threatening?! Their squad is excellent and I'm sure in good form is enough to give the team against them a headache! Kevin De Bruyne has shown what a good player he is at Crystal Palace and now at Manchester City, along with Silva, Toure, Dzeko, Nasri and so on, they are all great! It's not one of them that we need to restrict, we need to limit City's overall performance! Klopp shrugged and answered reporters' questions.

'Sergio Aguero is said to be out for this game, is that a positive for your team?' The reporters asked again.

'It's a good thing for us, he's got a good nose in front of goal, but don't forget what kind of coach Daniel is, he has the ability to make up for Sergio Aguero's absence!' Klopp answered the question, immediately smiled and said to the reporters: "Don't forget that we also have wounded!" ”
