Chapter 1528 Reasonable (Second update on guarantee)

Martin O'Neill's closed training has Manchester City boss Villas-Boas nervous.

In fact, Manchester City's strength is indeed not as good as Liverpool's. Even with home court advantage, it only narrows the strength gap between the two sides from [-] to [-], and there is still a gap of [-]!
Therefore, the outside world thinks that Martin O'Neill is too cautious.With Liverpool's strength, they can completely beat Manchester City.

Villas-Boas knew that the only chance of beating Liverpool was to make the opponent proud and underestimate the enemy.

This could have happened.

The stronger Liverpool are, the more likely they are to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy.Not to mention meeting Manchester City, which they have always won steadily.

In addition, the temptation to win the championship after winning Manchester City will also have some additional impact on Liverpool's players.

Adding these factors together, there is still hope for Manchester City to beat Liverpool at home.

The premise is that Liverpool must look down on Manchester City from the bottom of their hearts.

But Martin O'Neill's closed training made Boas feel threatened.

"The Sun" can publish cartoons to mock Martin O'Neill. O'Neill's lifelike expression will make everyone who sees it smile knowingly.

But for Boas, he couldn't laugh at all.

If Liverpool is really as cautious as O'Neill in the comics, Manchester City has no chance of a comeback!

For this reason, Boas must make some responses.

Want to make Martin O'Neill proud and underestimate the enemy?This is impossible.Everyone knows what O'Neill's character is.

He is the one who will really taste the shit to be sure of the shit he is eating!
So he didn't want to influence O'Neill's judgment, what he had to do was to influence Liverpool's players.

No matter how good the head coach is, the players who execute his tactics are still players in the game.

Players are not robots, but people with their own thoughts, so their understanding of the head coach's tactical thinking becomes the key to the execution of this tactic.

Why are some players who are obviously of average level, but can always get a lot of playing opportunities under the head coach?Even more than those talented players.

Simple, because his tactical understanding and execution ability are better than talented players.

Managers always prefer players who are obedient, not talented but willful players.

Just like the conflict between Boas and Aguero, Boas hopes that the Manchester City team will listen to him, but Aguero doesn't want to take revenge on Boas.In this way, even if Aguero's ability is outstanding, no matter how talented he is, Boas will clean him without hesitation.

Therefore, no matter how cautious Martin O'Neill is, as long as the actual Liverpool players feel that Manchester City is not a threat and they can play whatever they want, that's fine.

By the time O'Neal found out in the game that the situation had not developed as he expected, it was already too late.Even if he can replace three people in one go, if the whole team is proud and underestimates the enemy, what's the use of replacing three people?
So the key lies with the players, not with Martin O'Neill.

※ ※ ※

Since four days before the game, Villas-Boas has been appearing in front of the media, and he naturally wants to talk about the upcoming game.

He did not take a tough attitude to say that his team will tenaciously block Liverpool at home.

On the contrary, he said that the strength gap between Manchester City and Liverpool is too great, and it is impossible for Manchester City to beat Liverpool at home.

"I know a lot of people are staring at us, hoping that we can delay Liverpool's title... and the media is wondering if we will take the initiative to give three points because of the hatred with Manchester United... What I want to say is , I am a very sportsman, and so is my team. I never thought of letting the water go. However, our strength is there, and anyone can see it. I also know that there are many media Swearing that we will lose to Liverpool because we are far worse than Liverpool... that's the truth. I don't mean to say anything, but it's the truth. When a team is too much stronger than us, everything is doomed It's..."

"...The league is a long-distance marathon, and we cannot use up all our energy in one place. Our current situation is not good, after all, we have not even entered the top five in the league. If we spend a lot of energy in one game With too much energy, I will face an unsustainable situation...This is not what I want to see...Sometimes, it is necessary to give up some games..."

Villas-Boas is a bit better than most people, because he didn't directly flatter Liverpool's strength by making that kind of obsequiousness.Doing so would arouse suspicion.

Because the hatred between Manchester City and Liverpool has almost caught up with Manchester United in recent years, if it is too humble, it will make people suspicious.

Therefore, Boas successfully played the image of an ambitious but helpless head coach in front of the media and the public.

He actually hopes that Manchester City can beat Liverpool, but the huge strength gap between the two sides makes him helpless.So he had to give up his plan to stop Liverpool at home. This decision is easy to understand.Apart from this round, there are still four rounds left in the league, and the four rounds of the league are still hopeful for Manchester City.Even if they lose to Liverpool, and Newcastle United and Arsenal, who are ahead of them, both win, the points relationship between the three teams will still be four points and five points.That's not a huge difference.

Compared to fighting to the death in the game against Liverpool, and then being scarred and costly, it is easy to give up this game, and then concentrate on winning the remaining four rounds of the league.Obviously the latter plan is more reliable.

It is impossible for Liverpool to let Manchester City interfere with their championship, so if Manchester City wants to face toughness in this game, everyone knows what level of resistance they will encounter.

Therefore, Boas's choice is very normal, and no one will think there is anything wrong with it.

※ ※ ※

After Boas made his statement, he has been paying attention to the reports in the media. He wants to see what the public thinks about his statement.

Public opinion can affect people's hearts. When the power of public opinion is strong enough, black can be said to be white. What's more, it just makes Liverpool players feel proud and underestimate the enemy?

Martin O'Neill can close the training camp and prevent the media and fans from entering the training base to watch the training.But he couldn't close the eyes and ears of all Liverpool players.

Those players finish their daily training and always go back to their homes.At that time, whether they were surfing the Internet, watching TV, or reading newspapers, they would always be exposed to information from the media.

Consulting is so advanced now.This game has attracted much attention again, and there will certainly be no shortage of media reports about this game.They have no trouble knowing their own attitude.

At that time, what kind of seeds my words will plant in their hearts... It's really exciting!
※ ※ ※

The media lived up to Boas' expectations.He spread his words, and also analyzed his mind to everyone to let them know why Boas made such a helpless choice.

Those famous journalists and experts in the media have always boasted that they know more than ordinary people, and have a natural sense of superiority.They never miss an opportunity to show off their intelligence in front of the general public.

What Boas said, let them break it up and tell those fans and readers.

There is no dyslexia at all, and everyone knows why Boas did this.

Perfect.

This is what Boas thought after seeing the media performance.

He really loves the media now.

How much has this saved me!
There is no need for him to perform anymore. If he acts too much, his flaws will always be exposed, and the same is true if he talks too much.Now he doesn't need to act, needless to say, the media will automatically help him make up for it, and some of the reasons he found are things he didn't even think of.In this way, it was originally just a lie, but it was gradually perfected by many smart and self-righteous media.

Now if he hadn't known about it, even he himself would have thought that Manchester City was really going to give up the game.

Just like the reasons given by the media to Boas, the coach Boas has already given up once anyway. Even if he has a criminal record, it is normal to give up again.

Now let's see if those proud Liverpool players will be fooled...

※ ※ ※

"Boas surrendered?"

This is a headline in a newspaper, with a picture of Boas holding a white flag with his hands high, and then the headline read out by Chen Yingxiong.

After Chen Yingxiong read it, he couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled.

It was a disdainful smile.

Boas surrendered so quickly?

Really no species!

If Boas could know Chen Yingxiong's mental activities, he might be ecstatic at this time.

Because even Liverpool's top scorer seems to have fallen for him.

But if he can enter the deeper level of Chen Yingxiong's psychology...

I'm afraid Boas will not be so happy.

Because although Chen Yingxiong put down the newspaper with a disdainful smile, deep down in his heart, he was not really proud of this and underestimated the enemy.

What he thought was - since Manchester City themselves don't want to win this game, then I'll give them a ride and let them die happily.

Yes, he did not underestimate the enemy, on the contrary, he became more ruthless and serious.

He will let Manchester City die without a place to bury this time!
This is his style.He will not underestimate the enemy because of his opponent's performance, he has only one thought in dealing with the enemy, and that is to kill them mercilessly!
As long as it is an enemy, that is the fate, there is absolutely no other possibility.He's the kind of person who doesn't sympathize with his enemies.Don't think that by pretending to be pitiful, Chen Yingxiong can be paralyzed.

Chen Yingxiong's goal is to win the championship at all costs.Anyone who dares to stand in front of him and prevent him from winning the championship, whether it is Manchester City or Barcelona, ​​will be trampled under his feet in the end and crushed to pieces!
