"Barcelona actually lost ......"

Putting down the TV remote control in his hand, Guardiola slumped on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the ceiling overhead, and there was no focus in his eyes.

Barcelona has a special meaning for him, although he is no longer the manager of Barcelona, but he still feels sad to see the team he has played for and coached lose.

Especially when he saw the sad backs of his former disciples on the court, his heart felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle.

"The defeat to Atletico was not surprising, Simeone's tactical arrangement was very successful, and it can be said that he completely saw through Enrique's set.

On the other hand, on the Barcelona side, Enrique's tactics are a bit dull, the use of Iniesta is a little inappropriate, and he is assigned too many tasks, almost making him a white and Xavi at the same time, how is this possible?

And Enrique also likes to squeeze the main team, the rotation work is very poor, and the performance of these players in Barcelona in this game is not good, I think it has a lot to do with their fitness! ”

Lin Quan's evaluation of Enrique is not high, this is not because of the unhappiness caused at Barcelona at the beginning, it is completely because he feels that Enrique's ability is problematic.

The main reason for Iniesta's poor performance last season was the tactical set-up.

The same person, who performed very well in the national team, got worse when he arrived at the club, which is enough to show that he didn't use Xiaobai well.

However, MSN's stellar play last season overshadowed these issues and allowed Enrique to ignore them.

However, when the hidden danger is removed, it will always exist, and it will even expand further.

Compared with Barcelona under Pep Guardiola, the Barcelona team under Enrique has a very different style of play.

Thanks to MSN's excellent individual prowess, he likes to leave the offense to the trident up front.

Therefore, Barcelona changed the previous way of advancing with short passes, and gave full play to the advantages of the wings on both sides through long passes and fast movements of fullbacks and midfielders, so as to complete the attack.

In Neymar's absence, this tactic was problematic but workable.

But in Neymar's absence, this tactic was not feasible, and Enrique failed to come up with a new tactic in time, but stubbornly continued this style of play.

Rakitic's ability is really good, but he can't replace Xavi.

And Xiaobai has seen a significant decline in his state because of the change in the team's tactical play style and his own injuries.

This season, the strong midfield that Barcelona has always been proud of no longer exists, and without the strong support of the midfield, Messi and Suarez will naturally not have too many opportunities in the front.

If Enrique could have recognized the reality, adjusted his tactics back, put Suarez at the front, pulled Messi's position back a little, and was more involved in organizing the attack, the result might have been much better.

After all, the 29-year-old Messi is no longer young, not to mention the frequent injuries that make Messi's condition not good.

And Enrique's rotation is a mess again, although the strength of Barcelona's bench lineup is really not good, but his hard squeezing of the main players is obviously not the right way.

In short, Barcelona's failure this season is not accidental, even if they are lucky enough to win against Atletico Madrid in this round, they will definitely not survive the next round.

"Well, you're right, okay, let's not talk about Barcelona, now that the list of the top four has been released, the next draw for the semi-finals will be held, do you want to go with me to the draw ceremony?"

Pep Guardiola collected his emotions and began to think about the next round of Champions League matches.

The other three teams in the last four of the Champions League are not very good to match, these teams are all strong and difficult to play.

However, for the team aiming to win the championship, these strong opponents must be defeated in order to win the cup!

"Okay, anyway, the next league game is still far away, I'll go with you!"

……

The draw for the Champions League semi-finals was scheduled for the afternoon of 15 April, again at UEFA's headquarters.

The teams that broke into the top four can be said to be the strongest and most influential teams in football today.

Judging from their current strength, the draw between them no longer cares whether it is a good draw or a bad one.

No matter who is drawn, it will not be easy to play, so relatively speaking, the order of home and away in the semi-finals is more important than who the opponent is.

Compared with the previous draws, the draw for the semi-finals has received more attention, with countless media reporters and fans gathering outside, setting up long guns and short cannons, holding up various slogans and portraits of some players, and surrounding the venue.

According to statistics, more than 200 TV stations around the world chose to broadcast the lottery live broadcast, and the number of fans watching the lottery ceremony online reached hundreds of millions.

Countless fans are looking forward to it, hoping to see four exciting games.

The arrival of Lin Quan and Guardiola caused a commotion outside the venue, with countless cameras and microphones pointed at them, and the click sound and the flickering of magnesium lights made Lin Quan a little unable to open his eyes.

Lin smiled and waved at the camera and the fans at the scene.

The move caused a stir among the fans:

"It's Emperor Lin here!"

"Come on, Emperor Lin!"

"Emperor Lin, we love you!"

Some people even rushed towards him excitedly, but fortunately, the security personnel at the scene were strong enough to stop these crazy fans.

"Let's get in!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guardiola hurriedly walked into the venue with Lin Quan.

Not long after the two entered, they saw Ronaldo and Real Madrid's head coach Zidane also fleeing in embarrassment.

Apparently, the two were treated similarly outside!

After the four met, they greeted each other, and Guardiola naturally sat down next to Zidane and started talking to him.

Although the two have played for the sworn enemies of Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, the two have not played each other in La Liga, so they have not accumulated any grudges.

On the contrary, the two are of similar age, both are midfielders, and both turned coaches after retiring, so they have a lot in common.

The two chatted to themselves, and Lin Quan and Ronaldo were a little embarrassed.

Lin Quan was not hostile to Ronaldo, nodded to him and found a place to sit down.

As a result, as soon as he sat down on his side, C Roma sat down next to him.

"I've watched your game and the hat-trick in the last game was impressive!"

Lin Quan glanced at Ronaldo in surprise, Ronaldo took the initiative to praise others, this kind of thing is rare!

"Thank you, Brother Luo, your hat trick at the Bernabeu is amazing, you can actually score in three different ways, compared to you, my three goals are not worth mentioning!"

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, the other party took the initiative to greet each other, and Lin Quan naturally had to give some face, and blow to each other in business.

"That's right, I think so too, your offensive skills are not comprehensive enough, I think you should continue to strengthen and further enrich your arsenal!"

"Huh?"

Lin Quanren was a little stunned, what's the situation, you said that good business blows each other, why are you still gasping?

"Don't you think your way of scoring goals is too one-dimensional?"

Ronaldo didn't seem to be joking, but said very seriously:

"Your style of play is very similar to Messi's previous years, but haven't you noticed that Messi's goal efficiency has greatly decreased since his annual 91 goals in 2012, and his goals have been decreasing in recent years, and you don't want to repeat Messi's mistakes, right?"

Seeing that Ronaldo is serious is not like a joke, but is very serious about giving advice to himself.

Lin Quan didn't want to brush off the other party's kindness, so he shook his head seriously.

Ronaldo nodded, looking teachable:

"With the growth of age, the accumulation of injuries, and the targeting of opponents, Messi's breakthrough success rate has decreased a lot compared to before, and if he continues to play in the original way, the goal efficiency will definitely decrease, which is also the main reason why his goals in the past two years have been overtaken by me!"

When he said this, Lin Quan could clearly feel the pride and pride in Ronaldo's tone.

In fact, Ronaldo himself knows in his heart that there is a gap between his talent and strength and Messi.

Messi can score a maximum of 91 goals in a year, while Ronaldo can score a maximum of 69 goals.

Messi at his peak is an inexplicable existence, and no one can prevent it.

But Ronaldo was not discouraged by this, but through transformation, he further improved his goal efficiency and turned himself into a goal machine.

He is indeed inferior to Messi in the wing position, but he came to the forward position, with his excellent sense of smell and extremely comprehensive shooting skills, he played to his strengths and avoided weaknesses, further narrowed the gap with Messi, and even formed a counter-surpass.

This is a point that Ronaldo is very proud of, and it is precisely because of his successful transformation that Ronaldo will take the initiative to mention Lin Quan with the experience of a person who has come over, so that he can enrich his arsenal and prepare for future transformation in advance.

"Well, it makes sense, thanks for the suggestion, I'll consider it seriously!"

Although his own situation is completely different from Ronaldo, Lin Quan will turn to the midfield even if he transforms, rather than to the striker.

But the other party's suggestion was well-intentioned and not malicious, so Lin Quan also solemnly expressed his gratitude to Ronaldo.

"You're welcome, if you have time this summer, you can come to my training camp!"

Ronaldo handed Lin Quan a business card, which was the address and contact information of the training camp he opened.

"Well, I'll check it out when I have time!"

Lin Quan took it, took a look at it, and then put it away.

This guy is such a training maniac, and he has to train in the offseason.

However, this year, eighty percent is not good, the European Cup is about to start, and the two of them, as the main force of the team, have to go to the national team to report early after the end of the league to prepare for the upcoming European Cup.

Due to the fact that there are many strong teams on the European side, the intensity of the European Cup is not lower than that of the World Cup at all.

If you're unlucky, you might even have a problem qualifying from the group.

Therefore, all countries attach great importance to the European Cup, determine the 23-man squad early, and gather the players for training early.

So this summer, he definitely won't continue to practice.

I've been playing for a whole year, and I'm finally taking a break, but if I continue to give myself intensity, it's really guilty.

……

When the two were chatting, some reporters at the scene also noticed this scene, so they pointed their cameras at them and took pictures of the two chatting privately.

When this image was uploaded to the Internet, it caused quite a stir.

"Eh, didn't you say that Ronaldo and Lin Huang had a bad relationship? Why do you think the two are chatting happily? ”

"I don't know, but I don't seem to have heard much about the two of them, right?"

"The two don't have much communication with each other, the relationship is not good, but it shouldn't be bad, the relationship is poor, probably the fans on both sides, right?"

"Hehe, this kind of thing is not strange, the grievances between these two fans are quite few, you go to see the war between Ronaldo fans and Messi fans, that's called horror!"

"Understand and understand, after all, it is a grudge that has lasted for five or six years, and it is too normal for fans to tear each other apart!"

"If you want me to say, thanks to the birth of Lin Huang, the competitive atmosphere between the two has been diluted, just imagine, if there is no Lin Huang, how far should the fans of these two fight?"

"It makes sense, I still remember the atmosphere on the Internet three or four years ago, hehe, where these two fans exist, there must be disputes!"

Amid heated discussions among the fans, the draw for the Champions League semi-finals began.

The first team to be drawn is Manchester City, and according to UEFA rules, the schedule of the first team to be drawn is home and away.

So after seeing this result, Guardiola's face became a little solemn.

Home and away away is not a favourable fixture, especially in the second leg that will decide the outcome of the game, and it will be more difficult and challenging to play away from home.

If the opponent is smart enough, under such a favorable schedule, the first leg of the away game will definitely choose conservative tactics, and strive to hold the draw, or win less when you lose, and leave the suspense of victory and defeat to the next game!

If they do that, it will be a bit difficult for Manchester City to deal with.

The reason why a strong team is a strong team is because they are outstanding in all aspects, and once they are determined to defend well, it will be difficult for them to break through the opponent's goal if they are as strong as Manchester City!

"Just don't draw Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Bayern are both attacking teams, if you draw them, it will be a little easier to play!"

Now that the home and away schedule has been determined, Guardiola only hopes that the opponent is not Atletico Madrid, because this kind of schedule is very beneficial to Atletico Madrid, and if Atletico Madrid is drawn, it may be a little dangerous for Manchester City!

However, just when Guardiola was thinking so, Dejan Stankovic pulled Atletico Madrid.

Seeing this result, Guardiola was directly speechless.

There was also a commotion at the scene, and countless people were whispering and talking.

The last time Simeone played Pep Guardiola in the Champions League, he kept a clean sheet against his side.

This time the two meet again, do they want to stage the same script?
