The Philips Stadium was thundering, and the stands seemed to be trembling, as if another earthquake was happening at each of them.

In such a happy scene, Barcelona's coaching seat and bench were silent.

The atmosphere is really weird.

When Biranova first saw this scene, she didn't react for a moment.

"Uh...what's wrong?"

But he was always a well-fledged assistant coach and soon woke up - a goal happened, but it was not Barcelona who scored, but... Eindhoven!

This discovery surprised him so much. He even forgot about his standing up for a moment.

Is Barcelona actually behind?

Although this is on the away game, the opponent is weak Eindhoven. How could we fall behind? With Barcelona's strength, we should lead!

Even if we replaced many main players, the young people from Lamacia's youth training camp are all the best in football. These young people may be the absolute main players and core players when they go to a team. So even this second team of Barcelona should be able to easily defeat their opponents.

Biranova has focused on listening to the radio since the beginning of the game. She did not pay enough attention to this game, so he didn't know that the game was stalemate at the beginning, and Barcelona did not have the absolute ability to defeat Eindhoven easily.

If he knew this, he wouldn't have been so shocked, but would have been the same face as Guardiola - ashen!

Because this goal means that Barcelona will have to pay a higher price to win the game. It also shows that Barcelona's performance is not as good as they thought before the game!

Perhaps it was because they replaced too many main players in one breath and allowed too many young players to play. After all, they lacked experience in playing Champions League, let alone the quarter-finals. One step further in this kind of game is the semi-finals, which is a completely different world. In the whole of Europe, only four teams can appear in the semi-finals. This is a very tempting opportunity for Eindhoven.

In fact, even if he was drawn to be with Barcelona, ​​Eindhoven did not give up. Although the hope was slim, Eindhoven's head coach Koku did not give up.

He began to pay attention to the movements in Barcelona since he knew the results of the lottery.

He has played in Barcelona for many years and knows this team very well. He knows that the biggest feature of this team is pride. They are proud of their team's traditions, they are also proud of their team's strong strength. They are even proud of the Catalonia region where the team belongs, and the Catalonia region has always been having a fight with Spain.

This pride has penetrated into their bone marrow.

Pride is naturally a good thing, but being too proud will turn into a bad thing.

For example, sometimes, they look down on teams that are weaker than them and will involuntarily underestimate the enemy.

Just like this time.

For Barcelona, ​​their own team is simply too weak. Barcelona is also determined to seek revenge on Liverpool in the semi-finals, so naturally they will not focus on the game against Eindhoven.

In this way, you won't have a chance...

Sure enough, the information he fed back quickly told Koku that he got what he wanted.

Barcelona didn't take Eindhoven seriously at all. Not only that, they also believed that Koku was Eindhoven's head coach, which would make these two games easier. Because Koku used to play for Barcelona, ​​he served as the captain of Barcelona, ​​and had a good relationship with Barcelona media and fans. With Koku's sense of identity with Barcelona, ​​he might even take the initiative to let the water...

This statement made the Barcelona media say it out loud and proudly.

This angered Koku.

Koku considers himself a very dedicated head coach. Although he is young and has a not-so-glorious resume, he respects football and takes the initiative to let go of water. In his opinion, being thought by others would be a humiliation to himself!

But he did not express this anger.

Not only that, he also expressed his kindness to Barcelona before the game, so before the game, he talked to reporters about his days in Barcelona. He said that he still missed Barcelona teammates and fans. He liked the city of Barcelona, ​​and he still said that he would always be a supporter of Barcelona.

The truth is, and his six years of playing in Barcelona have become the record of the most foreign players in Barcelona's history. No one believes that Koku is telling a lie.

Koku really didn't lie, he told the truth.

But love for Barcelona does not mean that you have to let Barcelona go.

It's just to confuse Barcelona.

He succeeded. Barcelona sent more than half of the young players on the court, and even Messi had a rare opportunity to rest.

At the same time, Koku continued to instill a concept in Eindhoven's players before the game. That is, "Even if the whole world thinks you will lose, you cannot give up." He kept telling everyone about Barcelona's media's contempt for Eindhoven, and gradually establishing hatred and fighting spirit towards Barcelona in their hearts.

Eindhoven is also a wealthy family in Dutch football. If Barcelona had been put on the ground twenty years ago, would it be so despised by their opponents? Who would have felt better if they were so humiliated by their opponents?

The flames of fighting spirit burned in the hearts of every Eindhoven player.

Then they took Barcelona in the game!

When his team scored a goal, head coach Koku rushed out of the coach's seat with his arms raised, and his excited face changed.

All efforts and comebacks are worth it at this moment!

Didn’t you say this is just a warm-up match for the semifinals?

I want to tell you what an unusual game this is!

※※※

When the Eindhoven players found out that they were really ahead of Barcelona, ​​they were ecstatic. Their celebrations were even a bit exaggerated.

But Barcelona did not protest. At first, they had not come back to their senses from the shock - our powerful Barcelona was led by Eindhoven? He was led by such a team?!

They can accept being led by Liverpool and Real Madrid. After all, these two teams have the same strength as them, and it is normal for them to lead.

But Eindhoven and the others are simply a different story! They can actually lead Barcelona just twelve minutes into the game!

Such a reality is really too cruel and a little bit of a blow to people.

And when they finally came back from their shock and began to gradually accept this reality, something else made them a little busy.

Guardiola is the team's head coach after all, not as vulnerable as others. He quickly calmed down and accepted this reality. What should be considered now is how to fight back, rather than thinking here "This is impossible! This is impossible! How is this possible!"

So when he came to his senses, he naturally noticed Biranova next to him. He rang. Just as Eindhoven scored, Biranova suddenly stood up, with a strange expression on his face.

But now Bilanova was frightened by the fact that the team was behind and no longer responded.

He turned to look at Biranova: "Tito, you seem to have something to say to me?"

Hearing Guardiola's words, Biranova then realized: "Uh...yes..." He remembered what he was going to do.

Just when he thought of this, the expression on his face became even more ugly.

Guardiola looked at the change of expression on his face: "What's wrong?"

"Uh... Liverpool scored. Chen Yingxiong scored, just when we conceded the ball... Liverpool took the lead!"

Guardiola was also stunned.

Then he reacted - this was so bad!

His team is behind, while Liverpool is leading. He is too familiar with Liverpool and has taken the lead at his home court, even if it is one goal ahead, it is enough. In the future, Liverpool will be smoother and smoother, while Dortmund will have no power to fight back. Maybe Liverpool can end the two-leg game at his home court.

In that case, no matter how terrifying Westfall Stadium is or how hell it is, what threat does it have to Liverpool?

Only then did Guardiola realize the problem that he had been neglecting before.

He only saw the advantages and disadvantages of the schedule, but forgot that Liverpool, who played at home first, could completely crush Dortmund with their strong home advantage and end the suspense of the quarter-finals. After all, Dortmund is far from Liverpool in terms of strength, and this possibility is not non-existent.

In this way, I may not be waiting for my work at that time!

So what I should think now is how to solve Eindhoven as soon as possible away game, just like Liverpool, so that the second leg of the two sides will be meaningless!

Thinking of this, he nodded to Bilanova: "I understand, Tito. Keep paying attention to the movements over there, tell me what happens."

After assigning tasks to Biranova, he stepped forward a few steps and reached the very edge of the coach's command area.

This time, many main players did not come to the Netherlands with the team. This is to deal with Liverpool and to maximize their rest.

However, some players followed the team to Philips Stadium.

As the team's ace, Messi sat on the bench at this time.

If Messi is sent, the game will be over soon.

But... when you meet an Eindhoven and you have to send the strongest player, will you seem too incompetent?

Guardiola also has his troubles.

He and his worries are the same as Martin O'Neal before, that is, some people always think that his success is not based on his ability as a head coach, but on talented players such as Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta. Didn't Ibrahimovic say it? "What's Guardiola's ability? If I were the head coach of Barcelona, ​​I could win the championship!"

This sentence is like a thorn, and it has always been stuck in Guardiola's heart.

He himself knew that he was indeed a little lacking, so after leading Barcelona to win so many championships, he decided to leave temporarily. His reason was that "he needs to charge himself", which is not an excuse, but a real reason.

After he made his comeback, he led Barcelona to win a Champions League title, but that was not enough. After Xavi gradually grew old, Guardiola won much less championship than when he coached Barcelona for the first time. Although it was still considered a success compared to other head coaches, Guardiola's opponent has never been someone else, but himself.

How could such a proud person allow himself to be inferior to himself now?

He charged for a year and should be better than himself before.

Champion is the only criterion for measuring all this.

He wants to let the world know that Guardiola can succeed not because he has top experts like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, but because he is a good match as the head coach!

That's why he has this hesitation now.

The reason why he is said to be the same as before Martin O'Neal is because now Martin O'Neal has figured it out. He is not from a famous family like Guardiola, and he has achieved dazzling results that blind others' eyes as soon as he debuted.

So his mentality is closer to that of a normal person and more peaceful.

Since Chen Yingxiong is worthy of his dependence, he is dependent on it.

It's no big deal.

As long as you can win the championship, you will do whatever you want.

Some things are all false names and have no meaning, but the heavy gold medals and trophys are the most practical.

Once he saw it openly, Martin O'Neal would no longer be entangled in those false things.

But Guardiola has not reached his level yet...
