1362 Countdown to the Battle of the Peak
The flames of war on the home battlefield in England have been extinguished, and the teams have entered the operation of the summer transfer.
Liverpool is in full swing to enter the work of preparing for the Champions League final.
Local fans of Liverpool began to make slogans and banners used in the Champions League final. Since this season's Champions League final will be held at the New Wembley Stadium, it is more beneficial to Liverpool. The support of local fans will be higher, allowing them to have a certain home field advantage.
At the same time, it will also reduce the consumption of Liverpool's travel. It is already common for them to go to London to play.
On May 5, the Liverpool team arrived in London and stayed in a hotel near the new Wembley Stadium.
Barcelona arrived in London two days ahead of schedule. On one side is the local king of England, and on the other side is the king of Spain. The two teams set off a new round of football frenzy in London.
The major European media paid close attention to the preparations of the two teams throughout the process.
The day before the game, Barcelona held a pre-match press conference.
Looking forward to the Champions League final, Guardiola said: "The game at the new Wembley Stadium will bring a certain amount of pressure to Barcelona, but it doesn't matter. Barcelona will welcome this game in the best condition. I am deeply impressed by the progress and achievements made during the year. They have brought England's football philosophy to the extreme while incorporating advanced European football concepts. Koeman is a respectable coach and I look forward to tomorrow's game."
A reporter from Sky Sports then asked: "Barcelona was eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League knockout round last season. Will this bring psychological pressure to Barcelona?"
Guardiola shook his head and said: "You can win and lose in the football world. If you are strong, then you should win more and lose less, but there is no team that does not lose. Liverpool also lost a lot of games this year. They have lost in both the league and the Champions League. Will they feel psychological pressure the next time they meet the team that beat them? This is not true. We are now concentrating on preparing for the game. The goal is to win the championship trophy at the new Wembley Stadium. If there's going to be pressure, that's it. But I hope that pressure will translate into motivation for the team."
"About the competition between Messi and Qin Xiong, this Champions League final will determine the selection of the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year, do you agree?"
Guardiola thought for a moment and said: "I will say that Messi is the best player in the world, Koeman will say that the best player in the world is Qin Xiong, Mourinho will also say that Ronaldo is the best in the world, etc. Wait, we all have unrivaled stars. When such a discussion becomes a deadlocked dispute, then team honor will be a better criterion. In my opinion, both Qin Xiong and Messi have achieved for the team Brilliant achievements have contributed a lot. It is correct to some extent to judge who will win the Champions League now, but take a step back. The team that did not win the Champions League is not useless and should still be awarded by the outside world. objective recognition."
......
Liverpool's pre-match press conference is routine.
Koeman also expressed his admiration for Guardiola when looking forward to the final.
"Barcelona has been the top team in Europe for many years, but it was Pep Guardiola who made Barcelona a super team. His football philosophy spread all over the world. He led the team to subvert the tradition. I am very grateful for his achievements. Admiration and surprise, although we beat Barcelona last season, this does not mean that we can take it lightly in tomorrow's final. Barcelona is facing pressure from Real Madrid in this season's league. They overcame difficulties and finally won the championship. This makes Barcelona possible Better in form, now, we have to put all distractions behind us. Concentrate on the Champions League final, and then play a wonderful game that can be recorded in history! Because this is the pinnacle of European football!"
How to deal with Barcelona's pass control?
When reporters asked this question.Koeman smiled and said: "Efficiency, we are not obsessed with ball possession. What Liverpool are after is to make offense and defense more efficient. Barcelona want to control the ball. They can control the ball, but unless they can Let Liverpool not touch the ball, then Liverpool will play what we are good at."
