Chapter 121, Guardiola's Nightmare
No one knows what Guardiola said to his disciples at half-time, but everyone saw that when the second half started, Guardiola used up all three substitutions in one go.
The three main players, Messi, Iniesta and Butzquez, all appeared on the stage.
The situation on the court has finally been reversed.
Although only three people have been changed, these three people are the core of Barcelona.
With them, Barcelona's combat effectiveness has recovered by about 80%.
In the second half, Barcelona scored a total of three goals and completed the reversal.
In the end they defeated PSV Eindhoven by a score of 31.
Considering that this is Eindhoven's home stadium, Eindhoven will have no chance when they return to Camp Nou.
So this can also be said to end the suspense of the quarter-finals early.
Barcelona not only beat PSV, but also scored three away goals. 907
Even so, Guardiola still criticized the team's performance after the winter.
"We played very badly! Especially in the first half. I don't want to say why, in my opinion this kind of mistake should not be made..."
Guardiola is as proud as ever.
He still feels that even if he has sent a large number of substitutes and young players, he should not be helpless in the away game.
He also tried to boost morale at half-time, but he found it was not working.
In order to avoid the irreversible situation of qualifying, he had to let go of his obsession temporarily and let Messi and others play.
So although he won the game, Guardiola was not in a good mood.
The game ended at the same time as the match between Liverpool (adbe) and Napoli.
As Guardiola expected, although Naples pulled back a goal in the first half, it was meaningless.
Liverpool scored two more goals in the second half, and Tou Han also completed a hat-trick.
The final score was five to one. Liverpool beat Naples at home, completely ending the suspense of the second round.
In this way, Liverpool can send a substitute lineup to play in the second round, so that the main players can get a rest, and at the same time avoid further accumulating yellow cards and causing suspension, which is not worthwhile.
Barcelona wanted to wait for work, but now their wishful thinking has come to nothing.
After the game, the European media commented on the performance of the two teams.
It is generally believed that Ancelotti is strategically superior to Guardiola.
Because he played the main force at his own home court, he did not consume the physical energy of the main force, but completely sealed the victory and won a rest time for the team.
As for Barcelona, the result of underestimating the enemy was that they were embarrassed in the away game and did not have a good rest.
It can be said that the bamboo basket fetches water in vain.
From these two games, everyone can already see some clues. These things may become the key factors that determine the outcome of the two teams' confrontation.
Psychologically, Liverpool have an advantage over Barcelona.
After all, this is a hearty victory for them. The victory of this game can improve the players' state and self-confidence, which is of great benefit to them against Barcelona.
And Barcelona's score is pretty good, but the process was very tortuous, and it was a narrow victory.
If it weren't for Guardiola's decisive substitution, I'm afraid Barcelona will capsize in the gutter.
Even if such a game is won, no one will be happy.
It can be seen from Guardiola's speech at the post-match press conference that he is very dissatisfied. If he is not happy, then the Barcelona players will suffer.
The whole team will be in a relatively depressed mood.
Such a state is not conducive to dealing with Liverpool.
There are also media who think that Guardiola cares too much about Liverpool, but instead he messes up.
"Being defeated by Liverpool in the Champions League final last year was a heavy blow to Guardiola... It seems that he has not recovered until now...Because he is eager for revenge, so Liverpool played against him In his mind more than all other teams, there will be such a thing that turns a blind eye to PSV and almost loses because of underestimating the enemy... Maybe Guardiola himself will not admit it, in fact Liverpool. ...No, it is Su Han, who has become his nightmare. If Su Han cannot be defeated, then this nightmare will exist forever...
For such a statement, Guardiola naturally does not believe and disdains.
What are you kidding?
Will Su Han become his own nightmare?
Give me a break!
I, Guardiola, have never been afraid of anyone!
Just a player, foolhardy, who threatens my Barcelona?
He's just lucky...
But I really want to beat him, not because of some boring nightmare, but because I beat Liverpool so that I can advance to the final and win the championship trophy again
