Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Winning System
Pep Guardiola's Barcelona beat Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
It was a contest between two disciples who won the battle.
Klose's Bayern Munich and Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich.
In the end, ginger was still old and spicy, and the more experienced Guardiola beat Klose.
Despite this, Klose's performance was also well received by the German media.
Because this is the first time he has managed a team independently as a manager, let alone a complex team like Bayern Munich.
It's good that he's going to be able to lead the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the domestic league, his Bayern Munich is also temporarily four points ahead of Borussia Dortmund and has hopes of winning the league title.
The coaches who have been trained by Changsheng are gradually becoming mainstream in European football.
Pep Guardiola has long been a famous manager, Di Matteo also helped the team lift the Champions League at Chelsea, Ballack also led Bayern Munich to the Champions League and is now in charge of the German national team.
Coaches such as Klose and Stramaccioni have also done a great job in their own teams.
People may not realize it, but the so-called "winning system" has indeed begun to emerge in European football.
UEFA let them kill each other, perhaps in order to curb the winning system.
It's the same way UEFA has suppressed Premier League teams in the past. When the Champions League semi-finals are all Premier League teams, there is no need to suppress them.
The current situation is the same as when I wanted to die.
There are four winning teams in the Champions League quarter-finals β Lazio, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
accounts for half of the country.
If all four teams reach the last four, then the Champions League will simply be renamed the "Winning Cup".
Therefore, even if human means are used to intervene, this situation must be avoided.
In the end, Barcelona and Bayern Munich went head-to-head, and then the winner of Barcelona and Bayern Munich challenged the winner of Lazio and Manchester United.
This ensures that at least one less team will reach the last four and even fewer teams will reach the Champions League final.
Teams like Barcelona and Lazio have what it takes to reach the final. So you have to get stuck in the semi-finals.
Now that Barcelona and Lazio are fighting each other, UEFA has put a little bit of a snack.

After both sides reached the semifinals, Chang Sheng took the lead in psychological warfare in an interview.
"I'm very happy to meet Pep's team in the semi-finals, Barcelona is a team I know and love very well. Because we can always win. β
This is said to have completely failed to take Barcelona into account, and before the game even started, Chang Win announced the victory in advance.
Not to be outdone, Pep Guardiola said: "Lazio is strong, but Barcelona is not weak either. I said it when I returned to Barcelona. My goal is to regain the Champions League! β
Just looking at this conversation, you will feel that there is a strong smell of gunpowder between the two people.
This has been strange to many people. Isn't the relationship between the two of them quite good? So why are they so ruthless when they compete with each other?
Wouldn't it really be because of such words that they would affect their relationship with each other?
Or that their good relationship is just on the surface, for everyone to see, in fact, they have all kinds of unhappiness with each other in their hearts.
Just like Everwin and Lotito.
On the surface, it seems that the relationship is quite good, but in fact, the relationship between the two has long broken down.
In fact, it's not just Chang Sheng and Pep Guardiola. Chang Sheng was like this when he fought with other disciples.
It's just their habit.
It's really not as complicated as the outside world thinks.
Before they could fly out solo, Chang Sheng emphasized this problem to them more than once.
A game is a game, and a friendship is a friendship.
If someone thinks that we have a good relationship and a good relationship, then I will let them go when we race, it is wishful thinking!
Again, if it's because of this relationship. And those who are timid when playing against Chang Sheng will die a miserable death in the end - Chang Sheng will never show mercy.
It is precisely because of the good relationship between the two parties that they will take it so seriously.
Chang Sheng tells them that this is respect.
If I don't respect you. I'll send some people up, whether you win or lose, they will look down on you.
So every person who walks out of him and flies solo, he will say: "The next time we meet, we are enemies." Don't think I'll show mercy, if you doubt it. Try it when the time comes! β
His disciples are also used to it.
Because every time he fights for the first time, Chang Sheng will show that he is definitely not joking with practical actions.
Chang Sheng and Pep Guardiola have been the "enemies" for the longest time, and they are both used to such duels.
So when it's time for a war of words, neither of them will have any awkward emotions.
They can already switch back and forth between two different roles with ease.

In fact, with Barcelona's hatred of winning permanently, even without Guardiola, this pre-game was so lively and full of gunpowder.
When Chang Sheng was still in Valencia, he left Barcelona with several deep scars.
After coming to Lazio, he ruined the good things of Barcelona many times.
The last time he had a grudge with Chang Win was in the Champions League final, when Messi had just moved to Lazio.
Of course, Messi has no problem leaving Barcelona, but his choice to go to Lazio has a big problem.
Because Lazio's head coach Chang Sheng once publicly criticized Messi for not deserving of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Many people think that Messi still chooses to go to Lazio in such a situation, which is purely the rhythm of kneeling and licking, which is disgraceful.
But Messi just thinks Lazio have what it takes to get his revenge on Barcelona.
Sure enough, in the Champions League final, Barcelona met Lazio.
Messi started that game and was very active and positive, completely blowing up Neymar, who squeezed him away from Barcelona.
Then he helped Lazio win the Champions League against Barcelona.
Messi also completed a perfect revenge.
Barcelona were beaten by players they didn't want, and let Chang Sheng laugh at them for a long time after the game. Barcelona's hatred for winning will naturally be deeper.
Since then, the two teams haven't even met.
Whether it's a group stage or a knockout stage.
I haven't touched it before.
Later, Lazio gradually declined, while Barcelona's performance has been strong.
This seems to have given Barcelona fans a sense of superiority when looking at Lazio's problems.
Especially after the news that Changsheng had a complete falling out with the Lazio club and was going to leave if he did not renew his contract.
Barcelona fans laughed at Lazio: "Well, it's not constant, you're nothing!" That's the problem of no foundation! How many coaches we have changed in Lazio are also world-class giants. What about you? You're out of shape, you're a fart! β
Barcelona fans will be hoping to beat Lazio in this encounter.
Because Lazio in the future, it is not worth their effort to defeat.
At that time, Lazio was no different from any ordinary team, and Barcelona could crush Lazio to powder without much effort.
The arrogant Barcelona naturally disdains to entangle with such a team.
Lazio, who don't have a perennial win, don't even qualify as their opponents.
And now this is the last game against Barcelona that Lazio has won permanently. Barcelona fans don't want to leave their regrets for later.
They know this is Chang Sheng's last season at Lazio, and they also know that Chang Sheng's last season at Lazio will be aiming to win the title, and this Champions League title will definitely be very important to him.
In the past, it was always a good way to disrupt other people's games.
Now it's Barcelona's turn to stir up the winning game!
β»β»β»
The game against Barcelona is fast approaching.
Lazio's first leg was at home.
More than an hour before the start of the game, quite a few people gathered in the square.
The most densely populated area is naturally outside the faΓ§ade of the North Stand of Wanda Stadium, where there are statues of permanent victories.
Since the statue was inaugurated, it has almost become a famous tourist attraction.
Whether it's a game day or not, many people come here to take a group photo.
Finally those who couldn't make it to the scene. imitate the action of Chang Sheng, take pictures of yourself, and then upload them to the Internet.
to show their support and love for Changsheng.
There are even Lazio fans who call for the action of winning as a permanent cheering action for Lazio fans, representing Lazio's belief in never giving up and daring to challenge strong opponents.
This will be the best legacy that Lazio will leave to be the victorious.
The number of champions will drop dramatically with the departure of the winners, and this is not something they can control.
But the spirit lives on. It doesn't fade over time, and it doesn't matter who is going to be the head coach of this team.
Many Barcelona fans came to the stadium in advance and also saw the statue of Chang Sheng.
However, their mood is not the same as that of Lazio fans.
Their hearts are filled with disdain and schadenfreude.
Poor Lazio can only build a statue here to pray for the blessing of constant victory.
But what is the use of statues?
Dead things only.
Could it be that the statue can also command Lazio to win the game? Win the championship?
And you love him so much, how does he treat you? Just go. Pat your ass and leave only a mess for you to clean up. And what about him? You can change teams to continue to win the championship.
What does it matter to you Lazio whether he lives or dies?
In this way, you will set up a statue of him and worship him...... It's a brain pump!
You deserve to be a wealthy family for the rest of your life!
The minions who think of one person as a savior will never understand our Barcelona spirit of independence!
The giants are not how many championships they have won and how many fans they have, but they have the spirit of independence and the pursuit of freedom!
Barcelona fans looked at the Lazio fans who were scrambling to pose for photos in front of the statue of Victory, and their hearts were filled with a sense of superiority.
