Chapter 861: Ten Hag: After the game, I will let Guardiola get to know me well!
Ten Hag and De Jong fought back in their own way to Pep Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola looked at the report and shook his head slightly, I just said a fact, why did they react so much?
Ten Hag's words stung Pep Guardiola, and after leaving Barcelona, he did not prove himself in the Champions League, either at Bayern Munich or Manchester City.
In order to prove himself in the Champions League, he repeatedly made "strange moves" in key games to confuse his opponents.
But judging from the results, not only did he not confuse his opponents, but he made his players feel unsuitable, and finally eliminated miserably.
He reflected on this, and the result of the reflection was that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing, what was wrong was that his players did not perform well.
But in the game at Stamford Bridge, his thinking changed to a certain extent, he put Li Chuanqi in the midfield position, Li Chuanqi played very well in this position, but without the striker killer, Manchester City is still passive in the score.
In the final moments of the game, he brought De Bruyne on the pitch to return Li Chuanqi to his familiar position, and in the end, Manchester City came back to win.
This game gave him a great inspiration, the current Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City of the past, Manchester City can win with the advantage of strength, no need to make surprise moves.
……
At a time when there is speculation about what Pep Guardiola will do against Ajax, Guardiola has confirmed that he will not make trouble.
If the reporter finds out, he will be very disappointed.
April 1 is also known as April Fool's Day.
Manchester City host Ajax tonight.
Will the results fool Manchester City?
Manchester City fans don't think so, after all, this is their home stadium, and the Yin Tihad Stadium have a brilliant record this season and they are confident that their team will give them a satisfactory result.
At 2 p.m., the pre-game press conference was held on time.
Ten Hag gave his thoughts on tonight's game: "Although it was a difficult game for Yoon Tihad, we are confident of a good result! ”
When asked by reporters if he would change his tactics to deal with City's sharp attack, he said: "We have already set the strategy and tactics for this game. ”
Pep Guardiola remains adamant that his side can win tonight.
……
When night falls, the city of Manchester comes alive.
Manchester City fans call their friends, either to the Intihad Stadium, to the pub or to a friend's house......
It was the first time in City's history that they played in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and it was a historic moment.
At half past six in the evening, Manchester City's buses were the first to arrive at the Intihad Stadium, causing a burst of cheers.
As Pep Guardiola led the players off the bus, the reporters gave them a warm call.
To the disappointment of the reporters, no one from Manchester City spoke to the media and walked straight towards the dressing room.
Why not give an interview?
Even stars like Lee are not interviewed......
Journalists speculated, and some people said that Manchester City was too nervous, after all, this was the first time in their history that they played in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and it was inevitable that there would be nervousness.
Some people say that Manchester City are not confident and are reluctant to be interviewed.
Others believe that Manchester City are so confident in the game that they don't bother to say anything.
Anyway, there's everything to say.
Soon after, the Ajax buses arrived, and the journalists regained their spirits and issued a warm call to them.
Ten Hag was very face-saving and happily accepted the interview.
A reporter mentioned that his speech at the airport was not attacked by Manchester City fans, what is the reason?
"Because what I'm saying is the truth, and they know it very well."
Speaking about tonight's game, Ten Hag said confidently: "We have won four times and that's where we have the advantage! ”
Ajax is a European giant, which is beyond doubt, known for cultivating stars, known as the "world's number one star processing factory"!
The team has successively cultivated superstars such as Kruyinf, Basten, and Bergkamp.
He has won the Champions League four times, the Eredivisie 34 times, the Dutch Cup 19 times, and the Dutch Super Cup 9 times!
This is a true European giant.
However, in the past two decades, Ajax have rarely achieved impressive results in the Champions League, and their most recent victory came back in the 1994-95 season, when they defeated AC Milan in the final 1-0.
"We will build on the team's good history and prove ourselves again in the Champions League!"
Ten Hag's loud voice drew applause from Dutch journalists.
In contrast to Manchester City's reluctance to give interviews, Ten Hag is confident in the game.
Maybe at this moment, he revealed his true thoughts.
……
As time went on, more and more fans entered the Yin Tihad Stadium and players from both sides were warming up on the field.
Ajax seemed very relaxed, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Laugh, after the game, can you still laugh?
Manchester City fans feel like they're belittling Manchester City.
Li Chuanqi frowned slightly, because he found that some teammates seemed to be very nervous, and Sterling had outrageously anti-aircraft guns on several shots when he was shooting practice!
Sergio Aguero is fairly consistent, and maybe that has something to do with his experience.
As for De Bruyne...... Li Chuanqi found that his condition was average, and the accuracy of his passing was only average.
Because playing the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time?
It should be for this reason.
Then wait a few words in the pre-game meeting......
Li Chuanqi felt that he should say a few words to resolve the tension of his teammates.
After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the dressing room to make final preparations for the upcoming tournament.
The crowd of reporters on the sidelines began to talk because they also noticed the different situations between the two sides during the warm-up.
"Man City are so nervous! Raheem Sterling shot ......"
"Yes, De Bruyne's warm-up is not very good, and the power of a few passes is either too big or too small!"
"Is it Pep Guardiola who wants them to play in positions they are not familiar with?"
"I'm bullish on Ajax!"
"This is Intihad Stadium, and are you ignoring Lee?"
The journalists who favored Ajax were silent.
A few seconds later, someone spoke: "Li is indeed very good, but football is a whole, teammates don't play well, can he handle the game alone?" ”
The words resonated: "yes, and can you guarantee that Lee is in shape tonight?" I remember he said in an interview after training yesterday that he was in average shape! ”
The pro-Manchester City reporter laughed: "He said that his condition is average? Can you believe what he says? When he said that, a lot of games were hat-tricking! ”
Nima ......
Journalists who support Ajax are flushed.
"Anyway, football is a team sport, even if he is in good shape alone, his teammates don't give him strength, he can't do anything!"
……
In the visiting dressing room, Ten Hag was motivating before the game: "The media is not optimistic about us, they think Manchester City is stronger than us!
That's right! They are indeed stronger than us, but what does that mean?
Before we played Juventus, the media didn't think much of us, but it was us who made the cut! ”
The locker room is in full swing.
"Pep Guardiola said he didn't know me...... I don't think it's a bad thing, it's our chance! After the game, I'll let him get to know me well! ”
The locker room erupted in laughter.
