At the post-match press conference at the Bernabeu, what awaited Pellegrini was a stormy trial of public opinion.

The Madrid media and the Spanish media can't wait to "break Pellegrini into pieces"!

To use the words of reporters discussing in private: Pellegrini watched Real Madrid be slaughtered by the Red Army!

When Pellegrini appeared at the press conference, the reporters in the audience raised their hands to ask questions.

A reporter from "Marca" asked unceremoniously: "How did Real Madrid prepare for this game? Did you completely regard yourself as a spectator in the game? Witnessing Real Madrid being beaten by Liverpool without doing anything Became a weak and weak master, is this what you should do as a head coach?"

Pellegrini defended feebly: "We conceded one or two goals at the beginning of the game. In order to reverse the opponent, we could only strengthen our offense. Liverpool played very smartly today. They played a defensive counterattack. With the strength of the Liverpool team, if they play a defensive counterattack, it will cause trouble for any team in the world. I feel disappointed when I lose the game by a big score and the team is eliminated, and the emotions of the players have fallen to the bottom , Everyone seems to have suffered a huge trauma, I have a great responsibility, I will not escape, but we still have to look forward, we can't be immersed in this major loss, it will not help the future of Real Madrid."

The reporters didn't buy it, and the attack from the team newspaper "Aspen" was even more violent.

"Before the game you swore that Real Madrid was ready and confident to come back at home, but in the game, we didn't see Real Madrid making a careful preparation, the game didn't even have a minute in Real Madrid's control Excuse me, where is your work performance? Do Real Madrid only think that Real Madrid’s combat effectiveness will be greatly improved when the venue is switched from Anfield to Bernabeu. And Liverpool’s combat effectiveness will drop a lot?”

Pellegrini has a hard time acknowledging reality.

"I have to say that Liverpool were better, the tactics they used, the overall performance of the team, including the mentality of the players, was better than Real Madrid, so they won, and Real Madrid didn't manage the game. I think it's bigger. The reason is because we are under too much pressure."

"Just say when you will resign!"

A Spanish reporter said in an impatient tone what everyone was suppressing.

Being eliminated from the Champions League at 3:10, Real Madrid needs someone to shoulder this responsibility, and there is no doubt that coach Manuel Pellegrini bears the brunt.

The press conference turned into a collective bombardment of Pellegrini and "accountability" by the media. Pellegrini is not good at dealing with such scenes, and he did not expect his situation to be "betrayed" after the game with the Red Army end.

Just now he returned to the locker room to appease the Real Madrid generals.But no player is willing to talk to him. He is sensitive to the fact that even the players began to distrust him, probably because he feels that his ability cannot control the team's locker room, and at the same time, he cannot lead Real Madrid to glory, especially in tough battles. , In front of the key battle, it is difficult for Real Madrid to show a convincing performance.This is naturally directly linked to the ability of the head coach.

......

Koeman's face was full of red when he attended the post-match press conference.

Fleet Street is waiting for the arrival of the Dutch coach. After Koeman sat down, the "Times" reporter Howard asked: "Liverpool beat Real Madrid 10:3 in two rounds at the Bernabeu. Liverpool's performance is even better than at Anfield , what is the secret to Liverpool's success?"

Koeman said calmly and proudly: "Unity! Liverpool showed the unity of 11 people condensed into a whole! I don't agree with your statement. We also performed very well at Anfield. Real Madrid's level Opponents, it is very difficult not to let the opponent score. I can only say that today Real Madrid has fallen a lot compared to the previous game, because they look like they are in a mess. They did show the determination and will to come back. But in terms of execution, it’s not necessarily better than the last game.”

"What's the reason? This is the Bernabeu after all, why did Real Madrid's performance decline?"

Koeman shrugged and said: "We have always known that Real Madrid is a team that is suffering from pressure. Maybe the team was too brilliant in the past, maybe the team invested a lot. They have the most luxurious lineup in the world. , People's expectations for Real Madrid have always been champions, champions, champions. If Real Madrid can't win the championship, it will be a failure. This is an important source of pressure for Real Madrid. Because of this, they are under more pressure at the Bernabeu. This kind of pressure will make them more anxious and panic, especially after we score, Real Madrid's performance is getting worse and worse."

"Daily Telegraph" reporter Toms asked: "Liverpool formed an asymmetrical 442 formation today. Before the game, it seemed to weaken the offense, but the offensive effect has become better. What kind of thinking is this based on? What's the formation?"

Koeman was quite proud of this, and said with a smile: "We established a 5:3 lead in the first round. When we come to the Bernabeu, we will definitely withstand a more violent attack from Real Madrid. Then we must first defend firmly, so today I adopt The formation of Lucas + Mascherano's two defensive midfielders, and at the same time, I think Qin Xiong and Torres are enough for offense, because Real Madrid's defense will definitely have flaws under the huge investment in offense. There will be no shortage of chances, it turns out I was right and I want to thank the players who took their chances time after time and hit Real Madrid hard."

"Let's comment on Qin Xiong's performance."

"I have nothing to say, the best compliments in the world have been given to him, he is the best player in the world, the best player in the world, thank God he is a Liverpool player, he played another fantastic game, I can only say that now is the best time for the fans, they can appreciate Qin Xiong's performance on the court, this is the happiest thing, and for Liverpool, we are also happy."

Not only Koeman, many Liverpool players interviewed after the game were full of praise for Qin Xiong, publicly admiring Qin Xiong as the best player in the world.

When looking forward to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Koeman became low-key again.

"The team that can reach the quarter-finals has no underdogs. We will not pick opponents. All we have to do is adjust our mentality, take each game seriously, try to win, and then let's see what happens. Let’s go.” (To be continued~^~)
