Guardiola naturally won't believe Hugo's words, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Hugo himself believes it.

Of course, Guardiola did not agree to Hugo's invitation, he has already been used as a knife, and of course he will not continue to be the one who added to Laporta's blockage.

Fortunately, Guardiola is in the past after all, and it is not surprising that he appeared in the stands, which did not attract much attention, knowing that Lombardo was also invited, as well as several other veterans who had played for Trapani.

Platini was also present today, and he was also invited by Hugo, who invited Laporta to sit with him.

Laporta is not easy to refuse, after all, he still has to give Platini some face, this is the boss of UEFA, although Barcelona is the backbone of G14, and there must be work in the face!

Sit down politely with each other, the players on both sides of the stadium have already played, and the Trapani Stadium is actually a professional football stadium, and the stands are very close to the stadium.

When it was first rebuilt, because it was an old city, the place was small, so the spectator seats were very close, which is also the reason why the security measures of the stadium have always been relatively tight.

Trapani is also quite kind, 20,000 tickets, about 2,000 tickets are distributed to Barcelona, there are about more than 2,000, and the supply exceeds demand, Barcelona because of the World Footballer Ronaldinho, their tactical play is offensive football, very beautiful, attracting countless fans, so there are many fans who want tickets.

The away team's fan stand was full of Barcelona fans, who obviously came prepared, took a lot of flags, and formed a good position.

The away game against Liverpool was Rijkaard's 200th game in charge of Barcelona, and with a 2-0 defeat at home in the first leg, Barcelona will need to score at least two goals at the Trapani Stadium to qualify, or Rijkaard will have to spend his milestone night comforting the players.

At present, the biggest suspense is whether Rijkaard will continue to adhere to the back 3 style of play, in the game against Zaragoza, Barcelona played 343 similar to 3133, with a full-time midfielder, more aggressive, and in the game against Sevilla, Barcelona's 4 midfielders stood in a diamond position, and the two full-backs retreated to the fullback position when defending, with a relatively more emphasis on defense, but no matter what kind of change, compared to Barcelona's usual 433 is a breakthrough.

Speaking at a press conference, Xavi hinted at the chances of 343 being at Anfield: "Because we have to attack. ”

In fact, Rijkaard sent a 443 formation in this game, and Eto'o did not play in the last round caused speculation in the outside media, but in fact Eto'o was injured in the warm-up at the time, and he returned in the last game against Sevilla, and he also entered the starting line-up.

Goalkeepers: Valdés;

Defenders: Thuram, Marcos, Puyol, Oleg;

Midfielders: Xavi, Iniesta, Deco;

Forwards: Giuli, Eto'o, Ronaldinho

The formation is dead and alive, called 433, but there are variables, Oleg can step forward as a wing-back, on the other side is Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Deco can be in the middle.

The poor part of their formation and staffing is that they don't have a serious midfielder, Deco has indeed been transformed into a central midfielder role since arriving at Barcelona, but his interception ability is average, Rijkaard relies on control, their midfield ball handling and playmaking skills are strong, they have proven in previous games that they can rely on control to deal with the opponent's tough midfield.

Barcelona certainly want their opponents to have a head-to-head with them, but that's fantasy after all, and their opponent is Claudio Ranieri.

"I think the most important thing for us is to keep a goal from conceding! We didn't concede a goal at Camp Nou last leg and that's important and I'm happy and I hope we can do the same in the second leg. I'm going to tell you that defense is a very important thing. Despite the psychological excitement of Barcelona, Ranieri is not so stupid, and he was firm in his team's thinking in his pre-match press conference.

He also made a lot of changes in the lineup of this game, mainly in the front court.

Goalkeepers: Kameni;

Defenders: McConn, Barzagli, Samuel, Evra;

Midfielders: Mascherano, Essien, Ballack

Forwards: Di Maria, Adriano, Messi

Neither Toni nor Klose in the front line got a chance to play in this game, why?! Because Adriano is very capable of fighting alone, he squeezes out their position.

Before the game, Toni and Klose had already communicated with Ranieri, and from a tactical point of view, Ranieri's choice was not wrong, and the two could only accept it with reluctance.

Di Maria also entered the starting XI because of the same advantage, he is only 19 years old, and now he has a very rare chance to start, and it is against Barcelona, so he was a little nervous before the game.

Messi, who is slightly older than him, comforted Di Maria, "You have to relax, the coach chose you, he saw the advantages in you, you just need to play your own advantages!" ”

Rijkaard looked at the Trapani players on the pitch and knew that Ranieri was going to defend that old guy, if it were him, he would not have done such a thing, even if he was only five goals ahead, he would still let his team attack, this is a different tactical concept.

Rijkaard is not an offensive maniac like Zeman, he has an offensive philosophy, but he definitely wants to combine the offensive concept with the defensive concept, how to do it with offense instead of defense is his focus, and he will not do things that are careless.

In the face of such a formation, Rijkaard can only express helplessness, most Italian coaches are like this, and there are really not many tactical ideas inclined to attack.

Ranieri is not strictly a conservative, and he has only made the most advantageous choice in this situation.

The game started quickly, there was nothing to say, all the tactical practices were expected, Barcelona had no trouble dominating possession on the pitch, and Trapani was on the bus.

Less than two minutes after Barcelona's start, Samuel Eto'o gave Trapani a dismount on the edge of the penalty area, and his low shot was powerful enough to graze the post!

"Oooh!" The fans all let out screams and seemed to feel threatened.

Hugo "cut"!

waved his hand and sneered, very disdainful!

Based on what he knows about Kameni and the position of the defenders, Eto'o's goal is likely to be zero, regardless of the refraction.

That's why he's a little disdainful, and a bunch of hillbillies are making a fuss!

Laporta also let out a sigh of regret, turned his head to look at Hugo, Hugo gave Laporta a very rude look, and signaled to walk and see!

The story after that was not as rosy as Laporta thought, the World Footballer of the Year went vigant, the African Footballer went vigour, and La Masia went viral...... It's all fantasy, the reality is that Barcelona needs space, but Trapani has blocked it too hard!

Barcelona's players showed better form than the last game, but the problem is that Trapani's defensive system has always been very well organized, they need space, all kinds of strong attacks, Trapani has been pushing Barcelona's players to the side!

Fouls, arguments...... In short, Barcelona didn't have much of a chance, and they proved to be as strong as they were afraid of the bucket formation, especially against Trapani's level.

Hugo knew in his heart that Barcelona had always been very careful, and there were not many strong attacks, and they were worried about Trapani's counterattack, so possession was the main means.

VIP Cilaporta couldn't stand it, the team didn't have any shots, let alone goals, so he kept complaining to Platini and Hugo about fouls, bus tactics, and it was hard to believe that this man was a lawyer.
