I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 175 Benitez's complaint

Before the game between Chelsea and Liverpool, no one might have thought of such a result. Chelsea won the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals 1:3 away.

Amidst the singing, Yunqiao left Anfield with his players holding their heads high.

The Liverpool fans are very strong today. They never stopped singing from the beginning to the end. They are still singing when the team is two behind. Maybe what they sing is not for today's Liverpool, but for the former Liverpool.

"Losing any game will make people uncomfortable, but I don't think that today's game is a problem with the team's tactics." Benitez actually dumped the blame on the media after the game.

"I think our players made a mistake today and gave the opponent too much time and space. We had a chance to control the situation on the field after we scored, but in the end we still didn't control it."

"The equalizer from defender Ivan was the worst. I know Chelsea have a lot of headers and I know Ivan has scored a lot before that, but at the time we had three players. Being nearby, not trying to stop him, it was Ivanovic's unmarked header."

Benitez became more and more excited as he spoke. He even forgot that this was a press conference, not his tactical analysis room. Gerrard's face was completely black beside him.

"If you play in zone you have to control the space but we made mistakes. Chelsea don't surprise me, they have been very strong away from home this season, but it's hard for me to lose like this."

Benitez was more like vomiting bitterness, directed at all the media, his mentality was out of balance, just like what happened during the game, Gerrard said a few words and left, he is really here I can't wait any longer.

If the outcome of this game is related to Ferguson's psychological tactics, it is true, but it is definitely not the most important.

Scolding Ferguson and Mourinho before such an important game for the club, Benitez has deviated from the focus of this game.In terms of tactics, Yunqiao is still a little worse than Benitez; in terms of team strength, Liverpool can even beat the strong team during this period, and the strength is naturally not very bad, even Mascherano If the game is suspended, they will not reach this point.

Yunqiao also accepted an interview with reporters after the game. He also mentioned today's tactical choice, "Lampard went to stare at Gerrard. This tactic can only be done once, and he will not do it next time. The opponent I won’t let this kind of thing happen again, it’s because the other party didn’t seem to react to it today.”

With such a big advantage in the away game 1:3 in the first round, Yunqiao is naturally full of confidence in the next round, "I am very confident that the team will advance to the semi-finals. Of course, we can't be careless. If we want Stamford Bridge, we will also use it." The most cautious attitude to face Liverpool."

Compared with Chelsea's players, Liverpool's players also said after the game that they would not admit defeat.

Abeloa mentioned, "Why can't we do it? In 2005, Liverpool scored 45 goals in 3 minutes to win the final. This time we still have 90 minutes. Can we not score their 3 goals? So, We need to score one goal at Stamford Bridge, then a second, a third."

Aurelio also weighed in. "We're not going to give up because we've had a lot of setbacks this season and turned around every time."

Lucas, "Chelsea scored three goals here, why can't we score three at Stamford Bridge?"

Reina, "We can score three on any pitch!"

No matter who Benitez dumped the blame on after the game, Liverpool's players are not lacking in lethality.

As soon as the game was over, Yunqiao and the others returned to London. This time, Abramovich, Kenyon, and Marina also went back with the team.In the car, Abramovich happily praised the team's performance, and said that when he returned to London, he would invite all the players and coaches of the first team to have dinner before leaving.

Of course, Abramovich will not hold a party. No matter how much he wants to celebrate, he knows that the team's task is very heavy now, so he simply treats everyone to a meal.

In addition, Abramovich introduced Marina to the players. Of course, they have heard of this beauty, but they have not had much contact with it. Maybe Ivan and Al Shavin will know a little bit about it. Marina picked them up in the first place.

"Are you confident to win the Champions League again this year?"

After chatting with the players for a while, Abramovich also came to the assistant coach and asked about Yunqiao.

"It's hard," Yunqiao said truthfully.

This answer surprised Abramovich and Kenyon. Even Solskjaer and the others knew that the head coach was not optimistic about their team?

"Why?" Kenyon asked what everyone wanted to ask.

"Do you remember who was the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after the restructuring?" Yunqiao asked about this instead.

Kenyon thought for a while, "No, no team can defend the title."

"What's going on here?" Abu was also a little confused.

At this time, Yunqiao analyzed, "This time, I think the Premier League will still have three teams entering the semi-finals. This has been the case in recent years. The control of the Premier League in the Champions League is too strong, which is not conducive to the Champions League. League development."

"The fans also don't want to see a team that can determine the Champions League. This will cause aesthetic fatigue. I have dealt with the current UEFA president Michel Platini. He is a very controlling person."

Speaking of this, Yunqiao looked at them and said, "He doesn't seem to like the rich teams, and he doesn't like the Premier League."

"You mean, UEFA will mess with us?" Kenyon took a breath.

Abu and the others don't look very good either. How could a Russian financial giant like him, who grew up in an environment of rivalry since he was a child, not understand some methods?

"Do I need to do something?" Abramovich now has such confidence.

Yunqiao shook his head, "No, even if we can't win the championship last season, we can't hate UEFA. After all, we all play under him. There is no such thing as guarding against thieves every day. Besides, let's Chelsea Strength, they really want to get rid of us, it is not an easy task."

"They also need to pay attention to the public opinion of the society. The opinion of the fans is also very important. What we have to do is not let UEFA feel that even if we don't want public opinion, we will kill us."

After listening to Yunqiao's analysis, Abramovich also accepted it. If the Champions League cannot be won this season, there are still league titles and the FA Cup to fight for. These two teams still have a great chance.

In terms of the investment this season, it is already worth it.

In another arena, Barcelona sent a disastrous defeat to Bayern Munich at home, 4:0, ending Bayern's undefeated front in the Champions League this season.And the best player in this game is Messi, who has already started to take over Barcelona's goals.

In the first half alone, Messi scored twice and passed Eto'o to score. His own goals in the Champions League this season increased to 8.Another one was brought down in the penalty area, but did not get a penalty. This made Guardiola very angry, and directly hit the referee and was sent to the stands.

But before the end of the first half, Henry expanded the score to 4:0, and also rewrote Bayern's record of goals conceded in the first half of the European war.

Bayern scored 4 goals in one half. It is no wonder that Bayern will work hard as soon as they play Barcelona in the future. The goals fly and they can't stop. The reason is here.

When Yunqiao received the news, he remembered the scene of Barcelona being brutally abused by Bayern in the Champions League in the future. It turned out that Barcelona did it first.

After the quarter-finals of the Champions League, both Chelsea and Barcelona have achieved a huge lead. It can be said that they have entered the semi-finals with one foot. If they both enter the semi-finals, Chelsea's opponent will be Barcelona.
