winning hand

When Tottenham easily defeated Sunderland with a score of 2-0, while they took another step towards the league championship, they also needed to think about their Champions League competition.

The 10-year Champions League draw system was to draw lots in the 14th final to divide the upper and lower halves, and then the halves would compete directly. Tottenham and Barcelona were divided into the same half, so after winning the match against Fiorentina, Tottenham

Spurs' next opponent is Barcelona. If they can defeat Barcelona, ​​then they will face the winner of Real Madrid and Inter Milan in the final.

This system is slightly different from the future draw of the semi-finals, but this draw is actually not a big deal: the teams that have entered the semi-finals of the Champions League basically have no underdogs. Which team is drawn?

, I'm afraid they won't be easy to play. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Inter Milan, none of them are opponents that can be dealt with easily. No matter who Tottenham draws, it will be difficult.

This season, Inter Milan played exceptionally well, and Real Madrid also reached the semi-finals after having Mourinho. Inter Milan can be regarded as having accumulated a lot of experience, while Mourinho is quite pragmatic, at least in the eyes of the media.

, meeting them may not be easier than meeting Barcelona.

Moreover, after Tottenham drew Barcelona, ​​in the eyes of the British media, they were also a good opponent. Because of Li Bin's influence, although Barcelona still played very well last season and still scored hundreds of goals, but

After all, because the defense was not thick enough, they were not able to win the six-time championship.

Reputation. Because Barcelona failed to win this six-time crown, in the eyes of the British media, they are still the team that has been defeated by Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United, and can play against any other team.

It's very good, but Barcelona will lose miserably when they meet a Premier League team.

There has always been a saying in the media that although offensive football is beautiful, it is not easy to win championships. After Ronaldinho's peak in 2006, Barcelona's battles have always been considered to be like this. Although

They can play very well, and even in some games against the Premier League, Barcelona can even control more than 80% of the ball, making the English team unable to touch the ball for the whole game. But in terms of results, they just get

They can't win. Both Liverpool and Chelsea have beaten them badly because of their poor record in the Premier League, and Messi has never scored a goal on English soil. This has always given the English media enough qualifications to laugh at them.

Barcelona. Barcelona did not win the Champions League, and no one thought they were the strongest team in the world. Tottenham drew Barcelona. Even in the eyes of some English media, this was considered very good luck.

However, others don't think so, but Li Bin thinks so.

"We have encountered the most difficult opponent in the Champions League." In this regard, Li Bin summoned the entire team and expressed his own views on this matter, "Our opponent is very strong, and it can even be said that it is the most difficult opponent in the world."

The most powerful enemy in the world is an enemy worthy of all our energy to fight against. You must go all out and not slack off at all."

Tottenham's performance during this period has been very good. After the personnel are fully equipped, their combat effectiveness has soared. This improvement has made the entire Tottenham team very high-spirited. This kind of fighting spirit is very good, but when facing a strong team,

Before attacking the enemy, Li Bin must inoculate them.

Li Bin's tone made the players feel a little nervous: After the game with Fiorentina, Tottenham's strength has improved a lot, and the players who gradually began to become a tightrope did not show up when they met any opponent.

I was afraid. Whether it was Fiorentina or Arsenal, they were easily cut off by the players. They all remembered that during that time, Li Bin talked about his own strength, and also said that Tottenham's formation had initially seen results.

He was very satisfied with this. Why, after only a few days had passed, Li Bin felt that his opponent was particularly powerful.

Although the players were puzzled, they still had no doubts about Li Bin. This season, Tottenham have reached this point, and the players have also seen Li Bin's ability. Li Bin said that the opponent is very strong, so the opponent must be very strong.

Strong, they have no doubt about this. But they also have some doubts about why this opponent is considered by Li Bin to be the strongest enemy.

Li Bin was willing to tell them why their opponents were so strong. He also hoped that the players would pay enough attention to this issue.

"Our way of playing is to add some control elements into the pressing football to achieve the strongest performance, while Barcelona's way of playing is to control the football and incorporate impact into it to become the strongest. Our philosophies are completely different, but these two

All kinds of concepts can show extremely strong combat effectiveness."

The football concepts of Barcelona and Tottenham are two very different concepts, and Li Bin also has to admit that Barcelona has gone quite far in controlling football. If there are only two teams with some competition in strength,

Li Bin does not have such a high opinion of Barcelona, ​​but if this is a conceptual confrontation, then it is another matter.

"On the other end, do you think their playing style is better than our playing style? Or do you think Guardiola is better than you?" Suarez asked rhetorically.

"No, I don't think there is any difference between the two concepts. At least before our duel, I can't judge. However, the concept is not easy to judge. The team can be predicted. Barcelona started to form it last year.

Their running-in period is longer than ours, their playing style is more skillful than ours, and their players are no worse than ours. It can be said that we are still better.

On the road, they are already at their peak, so of course we should be careful about them." Li Bin said very directly, "As for Guardiola, he has been a coach for a short time and certainly does not have enough experience. I am sure that I am better than him, but

, they have Messi there - a player of this level, one person can make up for a lot of things."

This is only the second year Guardiola has officially led Barcelona. In terms of experience, he is indeed far behind. In terms of team management, his idea of ​​trying to use Zlatan Ibrahimovic to play in the middle was completely wrong, as was the purchase of Zygrinski.

Very bad. Tactically, he still failed to integrate impact tactics into ball control.

In the middle, he can only rely on Messi to achieve breakthroughs. In addition, he has problems with the use of center, and his set pieces are terrible both offensively and defensively. It can be said that he still has many problems. Although Li Bin is not an old coach,

But after all, he has been coaching for five or six years, so he has rich experience in comparison.

But no matter how many problems there are, Guardiola can solve them if he has players. For set pieces, they have Puyol, and for offense, they also have Messi. Although they did not win the Champions League, Messi also did not

Winning the Golden Ball, but Messi’s strength

His strength is still recognized around the world. This season, people are discussing whether Messi has the ability to break Ronaldo's record of 47 goals in a season. Moreover, after Maradona took over, people are also discussing whether Messi has the ability to break Ronaldo's season record of 47 goals.

It is impossible for the old football king to take the young football king to the throne.

Maybe football in this world has changed a lot, but Guardiola's football philosophy and Messi's technical strength will not be changed. Moreover, because they did not win the Champions League as they remembered, Barcelona's players,

They are also full of hunger for honor. Compared with the Barcelona team in my memory, which was a little proud and even said something to their superior opponents before the semi-finals to make them "hate football", they are now more low-key and more

If you work hard, you might become stronger.

A championship-level team may encounter ups and downs on the way to winning the championship, but the feeling of winning the championship will never be any different.

"It's stupid to take the media's words seriously. Anyone who really thinks Barcelona is a fancy team is confused. They are willing to put Ibrahimovic on the bench because their tactics have shown their strength.

Can be more powerful than an Ibrahimovic. The opponent is very powerful, we must be careful

Yes. But don’t worry too much. As long as we are well prepared, it is still possible for us to win. This game is of great significance to us. This is not only a competition for the championship, but also a confrontation of ideas. Remember, we

The victory will greatly promote the development of football."

Although Li Bin admitted that his opponent was very strong, even so strong that he had to summon the whole team and remind them to deal with it seriously and carefully. However, Li Bin still has a lot of confidence. After so long

After training, I met the top Barcelona, ​​and I was not necessarily better than

How far behind are their opponents? Moreover, this team, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and Real Madrid in the future, these teams are all imaginary enemies in Li Bin's mind. He has thought about how to fight these teams many times, and now he has the opportunity to actually meet them.

When they arrived, he had enough pride in his heart and wanted to decide the outcome.

What about Barcelona? Their tactics have also been developed step by step. I have vision and knowledge beyond the times, richer experience and long-term preparations. Why can't I defeat them?

Not only does he have the idea of ​​a decisive victory, but other players also have this idea more or less deep in their hearts.

"Messi is just a human being. We are no better than him." After Li Bin left, Suarez muttered in the locker room. His voice was not loud, but it was just enough for the players around him to hear it.

hear.

His words made the teammates in the locker room all express some approval. Although they all agreed with Li Bin's statement, they did not quite agree with Li Bin's statement that Messi was very powerful. Even

, these words made Suarez somewhat dissatisfied.

In Suarez's view, although his own strength is not as good as Messi's, but with so many good helpers, how can they not be able to play with strength? The coach praises Messi too much, is this someone else's child who will always be good?

Suarez has the capital to be confident: this season, after 31 rounds, he has scored 19 goals. Although, due to more rotations, it seems that he may not be able to win the Golden Boot this year, but his strength,

But everyone admits that Tottenham's performance has a lot to do with Suarez. He doesn't think that he is better than Messi.

, there will be a big gap. Moreover, there are so many good teammates around him. So far, Bell has 10 goals, Cavani has 10 goals, Yaya Toure has 8 goals, and Di Maria has 5 goals.

These teammates also score a lot of goals. Barcelona has a trident that can score 70 goals in a season. Is their team worse than them?

Li Bin has always said that this team is on the road to suppressing football and has not yet reached its peak, but he said that Barcelona is the pinnacle of controlling football. Doesn't this mean that Tottenham are definitely not as good as Barcelona now?

"Let's work hard ourselves and play a good game to show the coach." In the locker room, Suarez turned around and said, "Let's show the coach who is the real top team!"
