Chapter 451
It has always been the tradition of the Premier League to talk before the game.Fans and the media like to deliberately "find faults" before the two teams play each other, hoping to cause mutual criticism between the "officials" of the two teams.
The club's top executives are also happy about it. Why not do it if they have a chance to criticize their opponents?
Last season, Bei Tuqi made a big move, not only winning the opponent 2-1 at home, but also giving Capello the illusion that "1-0 at home can advance".
Then at the Alpenstadion, the Reds showed resilience and defensive ability that surpassed the Bianconeri.Whether it is the zebra prince Del Piero, or the Swedish god Taib, or the viper Mutu who came off the bench, they all smashed their heads in front of Liverpool's impenetrable defense.
1 to 0, the Christians did not score a goal and were eliminated in the end.
This season, the two teams were again in the same group.
Judging from the grouping situation in the group stage, the two teams most likely to qualify in Group G are Liverpool and Juventus.Betis and Benfica are basically sparring partners!
But the two clubs can't talk too much, one is that the influence of the news is not good, and the other is that if it really capsizes in the gutter, it will be a big shame.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is a contest between the so-called "rank one" and "rank two".At that time, no matter whether we lose or win the game, or whether the group does not qualify, there will be excuses to prevaricate—we really tried our best, but we didn’t expect that XX’s opponent was too rogue, and we ignored the existence of XX.
Fabio Capello took the lead, and he evaluated Liverpool as "unqualified European champions".
The Italian said: "The atmosphere at Anfield in the quarter-finals was very hot. I respect the Red Army fans. They must do this because they love Liverpool. But one person was affected, not the Juventus players, but the linesman. "
"He always makes decisions with colored glasses on, maybe if he had better eyesight Liverpool wouldn't have scored so many goals."
"Many times, the winner of the Champions League is not the strongest team in Europe at the time, which was the case with Liverpool last season."
"Last season, the team that played the most beautifully was Barcelona, but unfortunately they were eliminated by Chelsea and Liverpool escaped a disaster."
"Of course Liverpool deserve credit for their performance in the final, but that doesn't prove they are number one in Europe."
"And we didn't dare to buy a lot of good players this season to strengthen the lineup. In the last game, the three forwards each scored a goal and they were all in good condition. This time we face Liverpool again, and we have a great chance of winning. .”
In the face of Capello's attack, Bei Tu was certainly not to be outdone.
"If I were a gambler, I'd bet on Betis. Liverpool and Betis will get out of the group stage!"
As soon as Beitu comes up, he will put Juventus out of the qualifying range.
"Juventus' lineup is luxurious but not practical."
"They always like to arrange some famous, prestigious and valuable players to play together, but their performance on the court will not help the team. On the contrary, there will be some side effects."
"I can't think of a way for a united Liverpool to lose to such a 'scheming' team. Remember football is about 11 men, not one or two."
"And I dare say that only Liverpool in Europe will send 11 people to participate in the game, and the rest of the team will only have 10 people at most."
"This is not only an advantage in numbers, but also an advantage in technical and tactical play. I can guarantee that the tactics used by Liverpool today are at least ten years ahead of their opponents, and they are ahead of the world!"
Benitez was telling the truth.
At present, Liverpool's tactics have been studied and observed by coaches and teams all over the world, and the results will even be verified in youth team games.
They found that this tactic is not so difficult to implement, it only needs the coordination of the players.
But the biggest problem is that they really can't find such a versatile goalkeeper.
In the eyes of laymen, Tang Wu is just a goalkeeper with good footwork who often runs out of the penalty area to participate in defense and often kicks free kicks.
In fact, Tang Wu did more than that.When he chooses to walk out of the penalty area, it must be a time when it doesn't matter whether there is a goalkeeper in front of the goal.
The coaches of both sides spat at each other, and the players also began to speak out.
In the last round of the group stage, although Juventus and Liverpool both defeated their opponents to get three points.But what is commendable is that Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet and Mutu all scored goals.
Especially Trezeguet, after scoring in the last round of the Champions League, the French scored 100 goals for the Old Lady!
Considering that Trezeguet is only 28 years old, his scoring career is far from over.
"I finally achieved what I've always wanted to achieve," said Trezeguet. "I'm proud to be part of the club's history."
"My next goal is to equal Platini's record, which is not very difficult for me!"
Platini scored 104 goals for Juventus, just 4 goals, which is really not difficult for a top striker like Trezeguet.
Goal, tie record, break record, next man's record.
All this is a matter of course for Trezeguet, but the French still want to add some difficulty to themselves.
"I'm in a good state recently, and I will try my best to continue it."
"I can't wait to close the gap with my predecessors. I dream of scoring goals every night these days."
"It feels so good to score, I can't wait!"
"I've been thinking about new goal celebrations these days and I think you'll see it in the next game."
"I promise you will applaud me!"
As we all know, the Old Lady will travel to Anfield to face Liverpool in the next game.Trezeguet's intention is also ready to come out, he wants to perform a personal waltz in the Red Army's territory.
And in this dance banquet, Tang Wu is just a supporting role.
After Trezeguet spoke, Tang Wu's "senior brother" Ibrahimovic also talked loudly in front of the microphone.
In the last Champions League group match, although Ibrahimovic received Nedved's pass and volleyed the icing on the cake in the 84th minute, he was still criticized by Capello after the game.
The reason is simple. When the team was leading 1-0, Ibrahimovic not only did not follow Capello's instructions to focus on defense, but instead invested more energy in offense.
And Ibrahimovic is too lonely!
In the 65th minute, when the old woman had a 3-on-2 counterattack in the front court, instead of passing the ball to Del Piero who was open, he tried to dribble the ball himself, which eventually caused the ball to be broken.
Such a poor performance covered up his difficult volley before the end. After the game, Capello said: "He scored because of his own talent level, but his teamwork made Juventus a mess!"
"Ibrahimovic is a talented player. I won't worry if he doesn't score, because he needs precipitation."
"Even if he doesn't score, you can see that he is always active on the field and ready to give the opponent a fatal blow. Even if he doesn't score, he is like a floating mine"
This is Ibrahimovic's first Champions League goal since he joined Juventus. Capello said that he is not in a hurry to open up wasteland for Ibrahimovic, but Ibrahimovic himself is in a hurry!
How could the Swedish god tower, who was able to push and shoot empty goals with seven players in a row at Ajax, allow himself to not score in the Champions League after joining the Old Lady for more than a year?
Ibrahimovic's last goal in the European Champions Cup dates back to October 2003, 10, when Ibrahimovic was still playing for Ajax.
706 days have passed, and Ibrahimovic's saying that he is not in a hurry is completely false.
"Scoring goals? It doesn't matter to me. The important thing is that the team wins and we move on. The scoreboard is second in my heart and I don't mind it too much."
When he said this, Ibrahimovic seemed careless.
The erratic eyes betrayed him, but they did not escape the reporter's sharp eyes.
"Then what do you think about the next game as a guest at Liverpool? Facing TOM, who has never conceded a goal this season, have you thought about how to prepare for scoring?"
When Tang Wu's name was mentioned, the Swede's eyes lit up a few degrees.
"Well, it is undeniable that TOM is already the best goalkeeper in Europe, oh no, the world. To be honest, I still remember Liverpool's performance in the decisive battle last season."
"Tom is a special player. He often does things that others can't think of on the court."
"It's similar to me. I also like to do things that the fans can't imagine in the game. That's cool!"
"So I'm not surprised that Tom is assisting and scoring goals in all competitions this season, just like if I score a hat-trick in the next game, it's not surprising."
"You mean, in the next Champions League group match, you plan to score TOM three goals at Anfield?" The reporter immediately caught the point.
"No, I didn't say that." Ibrahimovic waved his hand with a smile.
"I'm just giving an example. I mean I'm an on-the-spot player like Tom. Everything I do is for the team, including my breakthroughs. As for my goals, how many will I score in the next game? , I mean if I'm in good form, it's not a surprise to score even three."
Facing Tang Wu, Ibrahimovic was still the same as last year, not restrained at all.
He seemed to have competed with this "junior brother of the same school".
When other players face Tang Wu, they will say that it is best to "score a goal by luck"; but every time they face Tang Wu, Ibrahimovic keeps talking about a hat-trick.
It seems that when facing Tang Wu, scoring less than 3 is a failure.
In his first year at Juventus last season, Ibrahimovic scored 16 goals in Serie A, but nothing in the Champions League.This year, the league has played 5 rounds, and he had 3 goals in the league in the same period last year.
Now Ibrahimovic is like a gambler who likes Stud.After every high-profile speech, fans and the media will be besieged, and then silently swallow the bitter fruit after failure, and look forward to the next success.
What if it does work?
What that brings to Ibrahimovic will be on top of all the honors Tang Wu has won at this stage.
At that time, the eyes of all European giants will be on this 1.9-meter-high Swedish big man. What he lost before, can be regained all at once.
I don't need to work hard, I just need to be better than those who work hard!
Although it's a little unethical to do so, it cannot be denied that Ibrahimovic does have such strength!
After Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic spoke, the reporter found Mutu.
At this time, the Romanian is no longer as arrogant as he was two years ago. In fact, he has matured a lot with age.
But in Tang Wu's words: he may have been a sage for a longer and longer time.
Under Capello's "care", Mutu, who bid farewell to sex and cocaine, seemed polite, and he no longer talked as much as he did.
"The bad phase of my career is over, it's been a bit too long in my opinion. This Champions League goal was very important to restore my confidence and it was scored at a crucial stage of the game. "
"I don't mind playing less, but if the coach asks me to play, I will try my best to show my value and serve the team."
When Mutu said this, he looked extremely peaceful, and he couldn't see the appearance of the addict a year ago at all.
When talking about Tang Wu, Mutu just smiled slightly: "Although I have been separated from Tom for more than a year, I dare say that I am the striker who knows him best in the world."
"As long as I have enough time, I will definitely break his goal, because only I know his weakness in goal."
Mutu's speech did not point the finger at Tang Wu like the previous two, but the meaning of his remarks was more like what Capello said.
The former "Viper" has been reduced to the current substitute, and the Romanians will definitely not be reconciled.He needs a game and a goal to prove himself, to prove his worth, and his value to the team.
Tang Wu is a good touchstone.
Since the two rounds of the Champions League last season, Capello will no longer underestimate this young goalkeeper from China.
Mutu grasped the coach's psychology and forced him to make a decision.
The three sharp knives of the old lady all showed absolute confidence in breaking the Liverpool goal. It seemed that as long as they came to Anfield, they would score.
For this reason, Fontana also specially came to Liverpool from Turin, wanting to do an exclusive interview with Tang Wu.
Faced with this crazy woman who once sent him a naked video, Tang Wu basically kept his distance.
But women often have the upper hand.
Especially when a female reporter who doesn't care about her looks VS a male player who doesn't want to make scandals.
"TOM, David, Zlatan, and Adrian are all confident in scoring goals, so do you have any countermeasures? Or, what do you think?"
What do I think?What else can I see?
Tang Wu glanced at the chest that was pulled down to the limit by Fontana. Even if Tang Wu turned his head away, the snow-white patch would still be rippling in his mind.
What's more, Tang Wu already knew what those two red grapes looked like.
"They are all excellent strikers!" Tang Wu swallowed the saliva he had accumulated long ago with the help of coffee.
"But I think they are not as good as Manchester United's Cristiano, they should really learn from him!"
"Oh? Why?" Fontana's almond eyes showed curiosity, "Are you saying that the three of them are not as talented as that little Ronaldinho?"
"No, no, I didn't say that." Tang Wu shook his head, "I'm not talking about talent, but attitude."
"Attitude? What attitude?" Hearing this, Fontana became even more curious.
I'm a striker, I want to score goals, I want to beat the goalkeeper.
This is the right attitude!
What attitude do you have?
"After the double red meeting, Cristiano asked me to have a meal and discussed some tactical skills on the football field with me."
"He told me after dinner that he was going to beat me in the second half of the league, beating Liverpool, and showed his determination."
"Uh, I'm sorry, Tom, what do you mean?" Hearing Tang Wu talk about some scattered and trivial chats between himself and Ronaldo at the dinner table, Fontana was a little confused.
Seeing Fontana's puzzled expression, Tang Wu couldn't help rolling his eyes.Seeing Fontana's puzzled expression, Tang Wu couldn't help rolling his eyes
"What I mean is, a loser should look like a loser. Don't gossiping about the next game all day long, come to me and admit defeat first!"
