Lord of Greenery

Chapter 369 Questioned
When Inter Milan won the Triple Crown, Mourinho, who is usually high-profile, seemed very silent.

Zanetti laughed exaggeratedly, but the reporters only captured Mourinho's smiling expression.

Mourinho, who is usually very happy to be interviewed by reporters, this time he simply attended the press conference.

Even before he answered a few questions, he left directly, causing the reporters who were full of questions to look at each other, and finally they could only interview Guardiola.

Guardiola, who is usually considered low-key, became high-profile this time, forced.

In all fairness, Barcelona's luck was not very good in this game.

Before the game, Puyol and Iniesta were unable to play, but the Inter Milan side was the main force.

And the location of the final is at the Bernabéu, which is the territory of Real Madrid, and Real Madrid is the sworn enemy of Barcelona. Inter Milan can be said to be fighting at home.

Of course, these reasons can only be used as excuses when losing.

In the face of interviews with reporters, Guardiola first denounced the referee's penalty.

"Victor's move was a bit big, but he was just in a hurry. He didn't want to do anything to Li. The red card was too exaggerated. If Victor didn't end, we maintained the balance of numbers, and there is a possibility of a comeback."

In fact, before Valdes left the field, Barcelona's score was behind, and it seemed that there was no possibility of a comeback in the second half.

The reporters were very rude and shameless, and asked the most embarrassing questions for Guardiola.

"At the last moment of the second half, you replaced Ibrahimovic and chose to defend. Did Barcelona also betray artistic football?"

Hearing this question, Guardiola's head got big.

Just like Real Madrid's "Galaxy Battleship", the logo affixed to Barcelona's head is impressively "Artistic Football".

Ordinary offensive football can no longer satisfy Barcelona's appetite. They advertise themselves as art and think that they play the most gorgeous football in the world.

Not to mention the current Dream Three, even in the years after the Dream First team sank, Barcelona did not lack superstars.

Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Figo, Overmars, many big-name players are willing to play in Barcelona.

Saviola, Kluivert, Riquelme, and many talented players who have not yet become famous are also willing to go to Barcelona to fight hard.

Therefore, even after the dream team, Barcelona has a decade-long decline.

With the joining of superstars, Barcelona has always been able to maintain a strong competitiveness.

In the end, Barcelona finally got their man.

First Ronaldinho, then Messi, Barcelona soared from then on, established Dream Team [-] and Dream Team [-] one after another, sweeping the world in one fell swoop!
In the eyes of many Barcelona fans and even high-level officials, the label of artistic football is the basis for Barcelona to stand at the top of the world.

Even if it is another ten years of weak exchange, they still want to keep this label.

But Guardiola played defensive football. In the Champions League final, at the last moment, he chose to stick to it.

"We are not defending. We are holding the ball. Only when we have more possession of the ball can we create offensive opportunities. It seems that the defense is strong because the players of Inter Milan cannot touch the ball. It is not that we are defending."

Guardiola insisted.

What's more, Valdez was sent off at that time, and Barcelona had one less person.

In the case of one less person, there is nothing wrong with using defensive tactics.

Even if it is a contest between giants, if you choose to stick to it when you encounter this situation, you should not be scolded.

It's just that Guardiola wouldn't say these words, and he didn't dare to say them.

He knows that after losing this Champions League final 0-3, anything he says will be considered an excuse.

Fans and reporters just wanted to find a reason to scold him.

In this case, every action he makes will be viewed inch by inch with a magnifying glass.

Even if there is no problem, it will be picked out in this way.

What Guardiola can do is firmly deny it.

The reporters were also a little disappointed that they couldn't hear the answer they wanted from him.

Then they ignored Guardiola's words.

"Lost artistic tradition? A shameful battle for Barcelona!"

"The attacking Barcelona got zero seals, and the defending Inter Milan scored three goals."

"Winning six championships last season, how lucky is Barcelona? How much care has it received?"

"Even Platini can't save him, Dream Three has already been shattered."

The reporters racked their brains to make their headlines more horrifying, so as to attract people.

Needless to say, Guardiola also knows, and he is not unclear about the virtues of these reporters.

Thinking of the pressure of public opinion that he will face next, Guardiola feels like his head is going bald.

Guardiola may not have imagined that after returning to the locker room, the pressure had already come.

Messi cried.

After returning to his locker room, he could no longer hold back his tears.

His teammates all ran to wash it, and he sat there slumped by himself.

At this time, he was still holding the jersey that Li Ze exchanged with him.

Seeing this scene, Guardiola's heart was about to break.

"Leo, we still have a chance, we are all young..."

Messi didn't respond to him, just crying alone.

Guardiola only thought that he was wronged, and planned to give him time to let him cry for a while.

Soon, someone came back after washing.

Guardiola greeted him, and the man covered his face with a towel and ignored him.

Guardiola watched him walk to his wardrobe with his mouth half open.

He realized that what he lost was not only a final and a Champions League, but also the trust of the players!
This time, Guardiola knew the seriousness of the problem.

At the same time, the grievance and anger in his heart were entangled, and he was almost about to be detonated.

Is it his own fault for losing this final?
In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Even Messi, who worked very hard in the audience, was unable to turn the tide in this game.

As the core of the team, his performance is not good.

After all, Guardiola has only just become the head coach, and it has only been two seasons.

He led the team to win six championships in the first season, the league championship in the second season, and the Champions League runner-up.

Is this a bad grade?
It's just a game, are they going to deny him?

Do these players really believe that they are the only shortcoming of this dream team?

Guardiola knows that there have been such voices from the outside world, and he hates this kind of statement, but he doesn't care either.

He thought it impossible for his players to believe such nonsense.

But it turns out, they've heard it too.

Someone really believed it!

Guardiola took a deep breath, not letting those negative emotions affect him.

With the performance of these two seasons, he still has a chance and a chance to prove himself.

next season!

Guardiola knew he had no way out.

Next season, he must win the Champions League!
