Chapter 390 Next opponent: Barcelona
"We win again, Long live Liverpool!" When the referee of law enforcement blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Anfield stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​joy, and even the entire city of Liverpool became a sea of ​​joy.

No way, although Liverpool has two teams, no matter who it is, I am afraid that even Everton fans will not expect their team to enter the Champions League, let alone enter the knockout stage.

Although unwilling, at this moment, the Everton fans in Liverpool could only helplessly choose to remain silent, watching helplessly the Liverpool fans of their rivals in the same city, celebrating wildly in the streets, alleys, bars, and everywhere in the city.

When the Juventus players left the reporters on the scene with lonely and lost backs, when the entire Anfield stadium became a sea of ​​joy for Liverpool fans, the entire Liverpool team stayed quietly in the dressing room, waiting quietly, waiting for the most concerned and concerned news at this moment.

That is, in 5 minutes, Liverpool's next round opponent will appear between Barcelona and Dortmund.Although they defeated the powerful Juventus, the Liverpool players did not have the intention to celebrate at this time. Everyone was quietly waiting for the news, although everyone was praying in their hearts at the moment, hoping that Dortmund would be a man and get rid of Barcelona.

"Boys, I want to say that you are really good. You once again defeated the mighty Juventus and once again reversed when the team fell behind. So whether the next opponent is Barcelona or Dortmund, you don't have to worry, because we have the strength to kill every opponent."

Looking at the players with serious faces, Lao Bei felt that the atmosphere was really depressing, so he comforted and encouraged the players.

If the next opponent is Dortmund, then Liverpool naturally don't need to worry about anything. Although Dortmund's strength is strong, there is still a gap from Liverpool.Now the biggest fear is that the next opponent is Barcelona, ​​uh~ According to the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Barcelona even has nine promotions.

You know, in the first round, Barcelona defeated Dortmund with a score of 2:1 in the away game. At this time, sitting at home, Dortmund has almost no hope of staging a big reversal.

But even so, Liverpool players are still waiting quietly, waiting for the next opponent to confirm.

"How is it? Has the result come out? Who is our opponent?" Just as Lao Bei was still consoling the players, the assistant coach rushed into the locker room, saw Thompson, and Lao Bei hurriedly asked.

"The result of the game came out, nothing else, 1:0. The total score was 3:1, and Barcelona advanced." Looking at the nervous old Bei and the players, Thompson smiled helplessly, and said that everyone was most concerned about it, but it was also the worst result.

"Hey~ Actually, I have known for a long time that the distance between Dortmund and Barcelona is still too far. It is normal for Barcelona to advance. It seems that it is time for us to prepare. This opponent is not easy to deal with."

When he learned that his next opponent was Barcelona in La Liga, Lao Bei said with a wry smile.

"What are the other matchups like?" After thinking for a while, Lao Bei continued to ask.

"Except for AC Milan's meeting with Ajax, the other matchups are strong collisions." Obviously Thompson has done a lot of work in this area, and he said immediately when he heard Lao Bei's inquiry.

"That's right, the UEFA Champions League has reached this level, and the team that can reach this point is not the one that dominates its own league." Lao Bei sighed and said lightly.

"Barcelona, ​​what a powerful team!" George couldn't help but marvel when he heard that Liverpool's next opponent was the mighty Barcelona.Indeed, compared with Barcelona at this time, there is still a clear gap in overall strength between Liverpool and Barcelona.But then again, Liverpool is only a quasi-rich team at this time, referring to the overall strength of the team, and it seems to be the bottom of all the currently promoted teams.

For the mighty Barcelona, ​​not only George thinks this way this time, I am afraid that the entire Liverpool team will also think the same way when they get the news.

"Okay, boys, actually Barcelona is not a big deal. I have played against Barcelona before, and I know them very well, but they don't know much about us. Don't worry about anything now. What you need to do now is to celebrate and rest well. Next, we will make good preparations to receive guests from Spain."

Although it was a headache for the next opponent to be the mighty Barcelona, ​​but seeing the worried players, Old Bei still deliberately pretended to be indifferent, looking down on Barcelona, ​​and comforted the players.

"That's right, BOSS used to be the head coach of Valencia. When he was coaching Valencia, he also defeated Barcelona and Real Madrid. Our Liverpool is far stronger than Valencia. Of course, we can also kill the mighty Barcelona under the leadership of BOSS."

Hearing Lao Bei's words, Yepe suddenly started talking with a smile.When George and the others heard Yepes' words, they thought about it carefully and found that Yepes' words were somewhat reasonable. Thinking of this, the psychological pressure suddenly eased a lot, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, in fact, Barcelona is not a big deal. As long as we train well and don't give our opponents a chance, we can kill them and advance smoothly." Regarding Yepes' words, Lao Bei didn't think so.

"Okay, kids, everyone is tired after playing the whole game. Let's rest early." Thompson did not feel relieved by Yepes' words, but as an assistant coach, Thompson knew exactly when and what he needed to do.So after hearing what Yepes and Lao Bei said, Thompson also said with a smile.

Under the comfort of Lao Bei and Thompson, the mentality of the Liverpool players also began to cheer up, laughing and playing with each other, walked out of the locker room, and prepared to go home and have a good rest.

When George and others all left the locker room, Lao Bei and Thompson couldn't help but looked at each other, and they both saw heavy worry in each other's eyes.

"Great Liverpool, once again staged a reversal and successfully promoted." On the second day, the Liverpool Post suddenly praised Liverpool's fighting spirit on the front page of the day, saying: If the last reversal of Juventus and promotion was lucky, then this time Juventus is eliminated again, which shows that Liverpool at this time is fully capable of dealing with every strong opponent in the Champions League.

"The great No. 7 continues to lead Liverpool forward. "Compared to the Liverpool Post, the "Sun" seems to highlight the role of a certain person, and this person is Liverpool's No. 7, the team captain George.

It was written in the report that George performed very well after returning to the team from injury, and even had more impact and pressure on the opponent's defense than before.At the same time, after being injured, George was able to recover to a very high level of competition in a very short period of time. George's talent is simply amazing.

Of course, the "Sun" also pointed out that George is like Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dalglish, the former owners of the No. 7 jersey at this time, leading Liverpool, the ancient giant wheel, to the direction of victory.

Uh~ You must know that "The Sun" is not a sports newspaper, and its third page of girls is the biggest selling point and highlight. It has also made sneak shots of the private lives between George and Alizee before.

But I have to say that after some people's warnings, the "Sun" seemed very polite to Liverpool, and did not dare to insult or slander Liverpool players in the slightest. Even Riise, the favorite playboy of "The Sun", did not have any personal information about Riise at this time.

And Liverpool's captain George, like the God of the "Sun", is sacred and inviolable. When George makes a mistake and his state is in a downturn, the "Sun" reports comfort, understanding and consideration. When George is fierce, it is praise and unlimited praise.

If everyone hadn't known that George had nothing to do with The Sun, outsiders might think that George was the chairman of The Sun, or the chairman's illegitimate son.

Regarding the obvious difference of The Sun against Liverpool, the outside world did not say anything. After all, it is a good situation for Liverpool. Other clubs will not say anything about The Sun because of this.

George doesn't care about this, because George knows very well how powerful his family is. Although George has never asked about the family's affairs, and deliberately pretends not to know, George knows very well that the power and influence of the family are definitely much greater than he imagined.

George would not care about these small things at all, or he didn't have to worry about them at all. After all, his so-called George family would take care of some things for him.At least since he and Alizee made their relationship public until now, George has not heard any bad rumors about the two in England. Even if there were, they would disappear in an instant the next day.

What George is most concerned about at this time is that in the case of Liverpool's next opponent, Barcelona, ​​George already has the honor of the Premier League champion, and with the team's absolute main force and top scorer, he helped the team win the league championship. Therefore, George can be said to have no regrets in the Premier League.

But George has not tasted the UEFA Champions League trophy at least yet. Last season, after the blood station Juventus, he was bloodbathed by the powerful Real Madrid because of the team's physical overdraft.So at the moment, in George's mind, he is more concerned about the Champions League.

When George returned home, the first thing he did was to turn on the computer and start searching for information about Barcelona. After two hours passed, George lay on the sofa and had to sigh that Barcelona was indeed extremely powerful.

Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the best clubs in the world. The history of the team should be more than 100 years. In the history of Barcelona, ​​countless superstars and star eras have emerged.

Kubala in the 50s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s, Romario and Ronaldo in the 90s, and of course, the representative player now, the Brazilian Ronaldinho.

Moreover, Barcelona is also the representative team of world art football. Its offensive football slogan has been called for half a century, and the Dutchman Cruyff made Barcelona art football reach its peak.

Looking at Barcelona's lineup at this time, you can know how strong Barcelona is.The goalkeeper is Valdez, a young goalkeeper trained by the Barcelona youth training camp. He is only 21 years old now, and he has squeezed the Turkish goalkeeper Rustu on the bench.

You must know that for a team, especially the goalkeeper position, generally speaking, the older and more experienced the better.However, Valdés, relying on his outstanding personal talent, became the team's main goalkeeper when he was only 21 years old and just transferred from the Barcelona B team to the first team. This shows how outstanding Valdez's strength is.

Nonsense, majestic Barcelona, ​​if it wasn't for Valdez's outstanding personal strength, then Barcelona would not rest assured to hand over the team's gate and the last line of defense to Valdez.

On the central defender, Edmilson, the main central defender of Brazil in the 2002 World Cup, is in Barcelona. Although Edmilson is easy to get injured, his strong defensive ability cannot be tolerated, and Edmilson is also an excellent all-rounder in the backcourt.
Another central defender is the current captain of Barcelona, ​​who is also the defender Puyol who grew up in the Barcelona youth training camp.Although Enrique was still the captain of Barcelona at this time, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that under Enrique's support, Puyol had gradually grown into Enrique's successor.Calculated according to Enrique's age, Puyol's time to take over is not short.

Known as the little lion king, Puyol is only 178cm tall, but his body is very strong, and his physical resistance is very strong. His excellent jumping ability makes Puyol not at all disadvantaged in high-altitude balls.Fast, easy to cover, fierce steals, steady defense, coupled with a desperate character, Puyol is definitely an opponent for an offensive player like George.

In terms of midfield, Barcelona is undoubtedly the most powerful. Xavi and Deco are definitely the top midfielders in the world, and they are players that any team wants to get.

The two are excellent in both defense and breakthrough. Of course, the most important thing is the passing of the two. It is because of the passing of the two that it drives the huge machine of Barcelona and makes Barcelona's artistic football play smoothly.

On Barcelona's offensive line, the legendary Swedish striker Larsson is at the forefront. Although he is over [-] years old, since he is a legendary striker, no matter how old Larsson is, as long as he stays on the court, he is a deadly threat.

And the two wingers, one is the Frenchman Giuly, who is a fast player with excellent dribbling.He himself has excellent personal breakthroughs and shooting and passing abilities. He sits on the right side of Barcelona and is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

On the right side of Barcelona is the king of Barcelona, ​​the Brazilian Ronaldinho.Excellent speed, superb foot skills, and unimaginable breakthroughs and passes are all characteristics of Ronaldinho.

It is precisely because of the existence of Ronaldinho that Barcelona can resist the gorgeous and powerful Galacticos in La Liga. Even if the two sides meet each other, Barcelona will not be at a disadvantage under the leadership of Ronaldinho.

"Damn, it's really tough!" Looking at the ceiling, George couldn't help but sigh.Others don't know, but George is very aware of Barcelona's strength, not to mention that he later completed the first six championships in history.

Of course, George is not worried about these things. George is currently most worried about three people. One is Puyol, his biggest opponent. George knows very well that this guy will soon become the captain of Barcelona. Of course, what worries George the most is Puyol's defensive ability in the backcourt.

When the two sides meet for the first time at Anfield a few days later, how to break through Puyol's defense is what George is most concerned about.

The second is Barcelona's midfielder Deco, a Brazilian who has joined the Portuguese nationality. He has an excellent overall view and precise passing ability.It can be said that Barcelona's offense was completely organized by Deco alone.Although in the market outlook, Xavi is the brain of Barcelona, ​​but at this time, Xavi is still Deco's younger brother and has not officially taken the position.

The third is naturally the Brazilian Ronaldinho, this football genius, who is about to reach the peak of his career, will definitely become a nightmare for Liverpool's defense.

The gorgeous dribbling, weird breakthroughs, and very imaginative and creative passes are all fatal.Of course, Ronaldinho's free kicks and breakthroughs are also fatal.

"Damn it, forget it, don't think about it, let Lao Bei think about these things." The more he thought about it, the more George felt that Ronaldinho was powerful, and at the same time he felt the power of Barcelona.After thinking about it, I started to worry again. Before the game started, I felt the pressure brought by the powerful Barcelona.George muttered in a low voice immediately, and gave up thinking about Barcelona.

George's thinking is not wrong, and it's useless to think too much on his own, it's better to let Old Bei worry and think of a solution.At this time, in a certain room in Liverpool City, Old Bei was watching Barcelona's information and La Liga games, sighing while watching.

(Now the main purpose of this book is on the UEFA Champions League, so it has to be written in detail. As for the content on the league, it will be gradually reduced.)
