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

Now the media doesn't have to make things too difficult for Pep Guardiola.

After all, the first 90 minutes of the two-legged knockout round were just the first 90 minutes, and Barcelona did pull off a miracle in the next leg.

The current sarcasm and run, ridicule, and falling into the well will become something that makes Guardiola or outside spectators more proud after that.

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

For a fledgling young coach who has risen to the top position in European football, the media will naturally sing praises for him, but in my heart I am actually looking forward to him falling from a high position!

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

Let Guardiola be hard-mouthed now, and when the second leg is over, let's see the result, and then whether Guardiola can only be hard-mouthed or really hard-mouthed, we will naturally see!

Koeman celebrated the victory with his players in the dressing room, but as soon as he walked out of the dressing room, his form changed completely.

Low-key, serious, calm, restrained.

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

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

The image of Barcelona as a king team has also become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

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

There are teams that can make Barcelona lose.

But being able to beat Barcelona like Liverpool today and make Barcelona leave Anfield a little bit of a slump, Liverpool is the first team in nearly two years!

In this way, Coman's accomplishments speak for themselves and make Fleet Street proud.

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

Because last season, the tragedy at Stamford Bridge left Fleet Street in the back of its mind!

As a result, Liverpool were able to beat Barcelona. And with such a disparity in scores, there's no reason why Fleet Street shouldn't applaud Coman.

And Koman's unfazed posture won the praise of Fleet Street.

"Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-1 today, what was the secret to the win?"

Coman said lightly: "As I said before the game, team, Liverpool did two things today. The first is defense, the second is offense, especially when defense and offense are combined, and our mastery of the transition is very commendable. That's the secret to beating Barcelona. ”

Fleet Street reporters liked Coman's speeches, but reporters from other countries seemed uninterested, while reporters from Spain were indignant and had a fire in their hearts.

it!

You use Liverpool, which is already the best squad in European football, what else is there to say!

A Spanish reporter was upset about Barcelona and asked Koeman: "Is Liverpool just looking for a win? In possession of Carragher. Alonso, Gerrard, Qin Xiong, Torres and other top players, Liverpool can only cower in their own half and play counter-attack, doesn't this make Liverpool look unmotivated? ”

Koeman was in a steady state of mind and said slowly: "If you just saw that the essence of this game was the defensive counter-attack, then I can only say that it is very one-sided. It's also very superficial. There were many teams that counter-attacked Barcelona defensively, but they didn't succeed. Liverpool succeeded, I said, we did a good job defensively and offensively, and it's not as simple as a counter-attacking strategy where the defenders stay in the second half and the attacking players are ready to attack. We don't need to talk about that, the knockout rounds are not over yet, Liverpool are just now 4-1 ahead of Barcelona, and there is still one game, maybe Liverpool will be overturned. ”

"If Liverpool will be overturned. That's simply a sign of your incompetence! ”

"Oh, maybe, but I'll look at it this way, now we're in a critical period, Liverpool have to be calm, keep a good mentality, definitely not be complacent, I still say that, two legs of knockouts, no matter what the score of the first leg is, in the second leg, we have to forget about the score, so that we can play at our normal level, and not get carried away or collapsed because of the score of the first leg. What I've experienced, what I've really seen, there are a lot of classic examples of three goals down and Barcelona are such a strong opponent that we have to be wary of. ”

Once again, the Fleet Street reporters collectively applauded Koeman, who they felt was still great at this point.

Liverpool chose a new coach before the season, and they were not optimistic about Koeman, but now that they think about it, Koeman has been on the top of Europe, enjoyed glory, and has also had complete failures in Valencia, and has gone through the troughs.

Now he knows how to deal with different circumstances and situations and bring stability to Liverpool, which is the most important thing.

Liverpool's 4-1 win over Barcelona in the knockout round of the first leg at Anfield shook Europe!

To be able to give Barcelona such a painful defeat, Liverpool was first favored by all bookmakers, and Liverpool's odds to win the Champions League fell sharply and became the first favorite to win the championship!

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

"Liverpool beat Barcelona! The Reds will take down the defending champions! ”

"Coman has taught Pep Guardiola a lesson!"

"Qin Xiong defeated Messi head-on!"

"The Red Army dreamed of returning to the dynastic 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 re-emergence!

Last season's European champion Real Madrid has a strong squad, although this season was completely ravaged by Liverpool, but with the passage of time, Real Madrid will become a super team that cannot be ignored after running in and growing!

Barcelona is recognized as the king of the modern era, and even if they are eliminated by Liverpool this season, Barcelona's status will not decline rapidly!

Now, with the resurgence of Liverpool, it is hoped that in the next few years, there will be a triumvirate of supremacy!

These super teams will throw off the average strong team and become behemoths above everyone, and the war between them will become the mainstream of European football in the future!

There are many such predictions, but the future is always full of uncertainties, whether it is a triwizard battle or whether there are more top teams, no one can predict with precision. (To be continued.) )
