197. Welcome to the first shot of Barcelona

After being stimulated by a handful of dog food from his fans, Long Shute made an important decision.

He wants to vent the fire!

He ran a half marathon that night along the artificial river in Amsterdam, and when he returned to his apartment two hours later, he was out of breath.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese captain, who is pure and desireless, attended the pre-match press conference of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Like Real Madrid, Barcelona's arrival has also sparked a large number of welcome teams in Amsterdam.

However, since Barcelona just fired the legendary Dutch football star Cruyff, their arrival was boycotted by some Cruyff fans, which led to much less welcome than when Real Madrid first arrived.

However, their head coach Guardiola doesn't care at all. The number of people is smaller, so his players can get a rest earlier.

"Amsterdam is an international city, it is very beautiful, with tulips, windmills, beaches, artificial rivers... It is a good choice to visit here in April."

Guardiola first praised a few times, then changed his tone:

"But we are not here to enjoy the scenery, we are to win."

"Mr. Guardiola, in an interview with Italian media early this month, you once said that your days in Barcelona may be coming to an end. Can you talk about this? Is there a conflict between the club chairman Basel and you? Or is there a disharmonious voice inside the locker room?"

An Amsterdam reporter pointed his muzzle at the topic he least wanted to mention.

"I made an explanation a week ago. If you search for Google or other engines, you will definitely be able to find the answer." Guardiola obviously didn't cooperate very well.

The reporters still refused to give up: "But we know that you and Barcelona have never signed a long-term contract..."

But his question was interrupted by the other party: "Today's press conference is for the Champions League, not for my personal issues. If you are particularly interested in this, I welcome you to contact my agent, who will charge based on what you want to know."

The reporter who hit a nail sat down and another Dutch reporter took the gun in his hand:

"Mr. Guardiola, let's talk about the game. Since you coached Barcelona in 2008, you have achieved a very great six-champion. Such results are unique in football..."

Guardiola raised his chin slightly, and he knew that the reporter must be putting a condom on himself...

Sure enough, the other party changed his mind:

"But we were surprised to find out from your game that you coached a giant like Barcelona for three seasons and failed to win a away game in the Champions League knockout round... Whether it is against powerful players like Bayern, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Arsenal, or a slightly weaker opponent like Stuttgart and Lyon, your results are either draw or lose. What do you think is the reason for this embarrassing away record?"

Guardiola's face suddenly turned dark:

"The reason is very simple, because we have already won the score we want at home, so there is no need to force a victory away."

"but……"

The reporter just said a word and was interrupted by the other party.

Guardiola is already angry: "But tomorrow we will definitely sweep this record into history!"

"Okay, let's talk about tomorrow's game," the reporter quickly changed the topic, "Villa has not scored eight consecutive games, so why is he still on the starting list?"

"Because it's me, not you, the head coach of Barcelona!"

After throwing down an obviously unfriendly answer, Guardiola sorted out her tie and patted her butt and left.

After fighting Mourinho for so many years, Guardiola, who was originally quite good-tempered in front of the media, gradually showed his edge. In addition, one of the two is arrogant and aggressive, the other is round on the outside and square on the inside, and they are also affectionately teased by Chinese fans as Guardiola and Mu Lengchan, and they are also known as the peerless genius of the coaching industry...

The head coach left with his sleeves, and the reporters could only throw all the questions to the player representatives, and the captain of the field of tomorrow's game, Xavi.

"Iniesta had to miss this round of games because of accumulating yellow cards in the last game. Will his absence affect the team's control of the midfield?"

Harvey admitted honestly: "There may be a little bit. After all, Andre and I have been teammates for more than ten years. No one can replace the tacit understanding between us, but I believe other teammates will work hard to make up for this vacancy..."

OK, the reporter wrote quickly:

No one can replace the role of novice, and Barcelona's collapse begins from now on!

"What do you think of Villa's goal drought?"

Harvey is still very honest: "Even the top striker will go through this period. I believe David will get back to form soon..."

OK, the reporter continued to write quickly:

Xavi personally stated: Villa is not a top striker, and the club's senior management should find new players as soon as possible!

"What do you want to say about Barcelona's record of away games in the past three seasons? Will this be a spell? Will it put additional pressure on the players?"

"No," Harvey decisively denies this time, "how could we get stressed out by such a boring statement?"

OK, the reporter didn't even raise his head, his hands didn't stop:

Facing the reporter's question, he said that he was obviously not confident in Barcelona's deputy!

Xavi is not the leader! Barcelona fans must miss their true captain Puyol!

"After now, many players in Barcelona have accumulated two yellow cards, including Messi. If he dyes yellow again tomorrow's game, then even if you enter the semi-finals, you must face the crisis of the absence of core players. Do you think this will have an impact on Messi? It will lead to him not daring to do his best in the game?"

Harvey decisively denies again: "Of course not! We are all professional players, and we will fight with all our strength in every game..."

"Sorry," the reporter used a trick to leverage his strength. "If I remember correctly, just now, your head coach told us that in the previous few Champions League games, because you had enough advantages at home, you did not play all the way away, which led to never winning a away game in three years. Why did you say differently to him? Is it that you and the head coach already had a conflict? Or do you disrespect our Dutch reporters, and the question just now was just answering randomly? If so, we will definitely complain to UEFA..."

Although I had known that there was no lower limit to the journalist's moral integrity, Harvey was still angry to death by these Dutch guys...

Sitting aside, Van Basten and Longshute master and apprentice watched Xavi sweating profusely to deal with the bombardment of the Dutch media, and they were very happy because a week ago, they were also treated like this by Catalan reporters. After all, this is also a home advantage!

However, at Barcelona's home court, Catalan reporters let him go because Long Shute praised Messi for being invincible in the world...

Now they want to siege Van Basten and Long Shute again, but it is too late, because the press officer with the power to call is Ajax's man!
