Winning the English Premier League title before Liverpool left for the Allianz Arena would have a positive impact on the morale of the Reds, as well as allowing Liverpool to fully devote their energy to the European arena, both of which Fleet Street saw as an important factor in Liverpool's advantage over Bayern Munich and their ability to eliminate their opponents and advance to the final.

On April 22, the whole Liverpool team landed in Munich, Germany with a new attitude and appearance!

Before that, Liverpool went to Europe as Premier League leaders, and now, they are the Premier League champions!

After arriving in Munich, Koeman first held an intra-team meeting to communicate with the players, mainly hoping that the players would keep a good attitude and not be satisfied because they won the league championship.

Ambition is a great motivator for plundering honor and is indispensable.

It is difficult for a player who lacks ambition to continue to have the motivation to achieve greater glory after achieving a certain amount of success.

Fortunately, Liverpool's players have not never seen the world, everyone wants to win more glory, and they also know that it is not easy to get to where they are today in the Champions League.

At the Allianz Arena, the whole Bayern Munich team was preparing for the game, and Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal was pacing on the sidelines, he looked calm, but in fact the pressure was huge.

The upcoming Champions League semi-finals are full of too many grudges.

Hopefully, Liverpool and Bayern Munich have not had a deep hatred in recent years.

But Van Gaal and Koeman are old enemies.

Louis van Gaal's departure from Ajax was largely due to his conflict with Koeman, who was the manager at the time. He is the Director of Football. There are too many differences of opinion between the two. Eventually, the conflict led to Van Gaal's resignation in a fit of rage.

Louis van Gaal has already completed his revenge on Ajax in the Netherlands, taking his glory at AZ Alkmaar and leading the team to the top of the Eredivisie with the Dutch triumvirate before moving to Bayern Munich.

Van Gaal often thinks his feud with Koeman has come to an end.

But the reality is full of incredible developments.

When Koeman was swept away in Valencia, Van Gaal felt the two would never cross paths again, after all, Koeman's coaching career had clearly started to go downward.

Unexpectedly, when he led the German tank back to the throne at Bayern Munich, he was also expected to win the domestic double and achieve brilliant results. Koeman has done an even more impressive and influential feat in England!

Yes, in German football, it is not surprising that Bayern Munich won the title.

But in England, Liverpool's league title is big news.

In contrast, Bayern Munich's success seems to be taken for granted, while Liverpool's success is precious.

Louis van Gaal stood still on the sidelines, watching his men prepare for the game on the training ground in a relaxed state, and he gritted his teeth as if he was in a heart of rage.

Back then, he ran away from Ajax with hatred. He completed his revenge on Ajax and now has a chance to fight Koeman. He is not afraid, on the contrary, he is excited!

It's just that if there is anything he feels heartache about, then there is only one factor.

That is Qin Xiong.

Last summer he invited Qin Xiong to join Bayern Munich, but Qin Xiong finally chose Liverpool and joined hands with Koeman again, although Qin Xiong did not go to Koeman, after all, Koeman went to Liverpool after Qin Xiong joined the Reds.

But the reality is always that six years ago, Ajax's master and apprentice continued to lead the way at Liverpool, and after their success, it has become a good story in football.

Van Gaal looked at the sky, Munich was clear, and he muttered Qin Xiong's name in a vague voice

On the afternoon of April 23, Liverpool had completed the training on the Allianz Stadium.

Journalists from major European football media have also arrived in Munich to cover the Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

Compared to the other semi-final between Inter Milan and Lyon, it is clear that the match between Liverpool and Bayern Munich is more attractive and interesting.

The press conference ahead of the match was of interest to the European press.

Because the feud between Koeman and Van Gaal is very loud in the circle.

The meeting of the two managers will arouse the curiosity of the fans.

In the press room of the Allianz Arena, Louis van Gaal calmly appeared at the press conference.

Naturally, reporters were asking about his feud with Koeman.

In this regard, Van Gaal said generously: "There is no problem between me and Ronald, we are both professional coaches with a high level of professionalism, we will not bring the differences at work into private feelings, I do not deny that there was unhappiness between us at Ajax back then, but this is a very realistic thing, in real life, around you, around me, it will always happen, we can't think the same thing as everyone at work, if everyone thinks the same, then this is not normal." ”

Van Gaal's words made journalists understand: the cunning Dutchman is stealing concepts.

His words are impeccable, and it is true that in life and work, there will naturally be conflicts and differences between people's ideas and positions.

But the key is not that there are differences, but that after there are differences, Van Gaal used a drastic means to face it, and he did not solve the problem!

The reporters held on and asked Van Gaal a very pointed question.

"If Coman leads Liverpool to knock out Bayern Munich, does that mean he has a more successful coaching career than you?"

Van Gaal smiled and shrugged: "This is the opinion and evaluation of the outside world, I can't answer, and I don't care what others say." I've won titles at Ajax, Barcelona and other clubs and I have no intention of comparing myself to others. ”

Reporters at the scene tacitly recorded Van Gaal's remarks.

What he said is not compared with others, in fact, this sect leader with the title of "tyrant" cares very much, cares very much!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to mention his resume.

Van Gaal has cultivated Ajax's golden generation, won championships in Barcelona, promoted some players with potential and now become the mainstay of Barcelona, such as Xavi, who also broke the monopoly of the Dutch three giants on the league championship for more than 20 years, and now leads Bayern Munich to rebuild the status and image of the king in the country.

To say that he was willing to bow his head to Koeman is absolutely impossible.

Van Gaal's subtext is nothing more than asking everyone to compare the resumes of the two, and after the comparison, there is no need to say more about who is more successful.

Van Gaal's pre-match press conference was a hidden needle, his duplicity, in fact, the feud with Koeman has not disappeared! (To be continued.) )
