Chapter 695 Guardiola
Facing Li Wei's request for advice, Allegri didn't make it right. The two had a good personal relationship, which had been established as early as when Li Wei urged Allegri to be the head coach of Parma.
Allegri respects Li Wei from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the other party is his guide in football.
After receiving Levi's call, Allegri emailed the data and restraint tactics he had compiled against Barcelona in recent years to Levi, and then spent at least two hours a day for three consecutive days to discuss with Levi. Video call to discuss how to beat Barcelona.
Last year, Barcelona's Champions League semi-finals were defeated by Mourinho's Inter Milan 1:3. This Champions League semi-final was recognized as Inter Milan's tactical victory over Barcelona. Opponents imitate.
The core of Mourinho's restraint against Barcelona lies in two points, muscular defense and quick counterattack. In fact, this is also the routine that Mourinho played at Chelsea back then.
Allegri strengthened on the basis of Mourinho, he added an element, the iron barrel array!
Resolute defense in the backcourt, strangulation in the midfield destroys Barcelona's possession of the ball, and the offensive aspect relies on defensive counterattacks. In this regard, Liverpool has a defensive counterattack. Even though Suarez and Kevin Dirk are a bit slower, they have excellent running positions and performed quite well in defensive counterattacks.
After discussing with Li Wei, the two head coaches even collided with different sparks.
They agreed that the best way to deal with Barcelona's core Messi and limit him is not to arrange players to mark Messi.Instead, it kills the passing line to Messi, which is equivalent to killing Messi's passing line.
That's right, Messi is one of the few top forwards in football who can break through the opponent's defense alone. The problem is that Messi has scored n goals in a row several times. Take a step back, even if Messi is really against Liverpool. In the competition, he has staged five levels and cut six generals, but how many times can he perform such a wonderful performance?To be able to stage it once is already a big deal!
This is nothing but 1:0!
Li Wei didn't believe it, Liverpool's strikers still couldn't score two goals!
Of course, this tactic is not without its shortcomings. First of all, the way of playing will become ugly, and the offensive ability is not strong. If Barcelona does not attack, Liverpool can only be anxious.
However, will Barcelona not attack?
Not to mention that this team is called Barcelona, just because the venue of the game is the Nou Camp Stadium, a giant like Barcelona has to attack.
The only question now is whether the Liverpool players can implement this set of tactics well. After all, there is not much time left for them to practice.
…………
The time soon came to the evening of April 28, when Levi brought the Liverpool team to the Camp Nou.
Not long ago, Levi came to another big stadium in Spain-the Bernabéu Stadium.
At that time, Li Wei was very envious. He knew very well how important a big stadium is to the team.Look at Arsenal tightening their belts and selling the captain every year to build the Emirates Stadium, you know the importance of a big stadium to a club.
The most important point is not the image, but the income!
For example, now, Liverpool CEO Al told Levi that Liverpool can have [-] fans in every game, but now Liverpool only has [-] seats.
From a certain point of view, Liverpool is losing money.This season, Liverpool's league tickets cost at least 38 pounds a ticket. If they meet a strong matchup, the tickets will almost double, and if they play against Manchester United in the England derby, the tickets will rise to about [-] pounds a piece.Even if it is based on the lowest [-] pounds a piece, only [-] league games in a season and [-] fans are counted.
Liverpool loses at least 20 million pounds in a season. If you count the sales of matchday peripherals, Liverpool loses even more. Levi feels heartache when he thinks about it.
Compared with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona are so happy that they faint.
The Bernabéu Stadium has a capacity of more than 1000 people.Barcelona's Camp Nou is even more terrifying, with a capacity close to 11 (109815 people).
Li Wei looked up at the Camp Nou stadium where there were no vacant seats, and it was densely packed with fans. Although he was envious and jealous, he knew that these fans would also become pressure on Barcelona players.If Liverpool scored first, these nearly 11 fans would become Barcelona's urging ghosts, forcing Barcelona to continue to attack Liverpool's steel defense.
…………
Before the game, not only the players from both sides were shaking hands, Levi also took the initiative to walk to the coach of the home team to shake hands with Guardiola.
Li Wei said: "Pep, nice to meet you! It's a pity that we are opponents, not partners."
Guardiola said: "I am very happy to play against you. You led Parma to win the double in the first season, but it stimulated me. I said in my heart that such a young person can If I succeed, why should I not work hard?"
Li Wei smiled and said: "Actually, when I was coaching Parma, the first assistant coach I thought of was you! It's a pity that I don't have the ability to poach people from Barcelona."
At the beginning, Li Wei really thought about poaching Guardiola, and he was ready to act.
Unfortunately, when he learned about the situation, he had to give up this unrealistic idea.
2007年，瓜迪奥拉已经成为巴塞罗那B队的主教练。瓜迪奥拉把前一个赛季降级的球队重新带回丙级联赛，并取得了28胜9平5负的成绩。附加赛对卡斯蒂略和巴巴斯特雷的比赛中，瓜迪奥拉的球队取得进9球失0球的佳绩。
In 2008, Guardiola became the head coach of Barcelona.
How could Levi poach Guardiola who is about to take the throne.
Guardiola said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank you for not poaching me, otherwise I might not be the head coach of Barcelona."
Li Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "You really know how to joke."
