"Let's take a look at the videos of Barcelona's recent games."
Li Ang's room was a standard room. At this moment, the room was full of people. Members of the coaching staff, assistant managers Banderas and Scottley, goalkeeping coach Corillo, technical analysis assistant Daporana, and so on all came over. This was the last and most important analysis meeting before the game.
The laptop was playing highlights of Barcelona's recent league games edited by Li Ang.
"First, in the 10th round of the league, Barcelona's home game was 2: 1 against Deportivo La Coruña. Forlan scored for the away team first, but Harvey and Eto 'o each scored a goal to help Barcelona take the lead." Li Ang pointed to the screen and said. Barcelona lost the ball first and then reversed the situation, which was considered very resilient after the game. At this point, Li Ang shook his head and laughed.
"Then, in the last round of the league, they lost to Real Betis in the away game. 1: 2, the unbeaten record of the season was broken. After the game, Mundo Deportivo did not have much comment on the ending of the unbeaten record by the opponent. They thought that this moment would come sooner or later, but they were just one step away from Robson's record. Moreover, it was not a bad thing to fall before the Spanish national team derby. The pressure on the team would be reduced a lot. Their media attributed Barcelona's loss to "not being fair enough and not being lucky enough" and thought that the referee's performance was "disastrous," Li Ang said and took a sip of tea. He sneered disdainfully.
"It's natural for them to win. It's the referee's fault for their loss." Li Ang shook his head.
There was suppressed laughter in the room. Because of the bad relationship between Li Ang and Real Madrid, and because Li Ang repeatedly led the team to defeat Real Madrid and embarrass them, the Catalonia people affectionately called Li Ang an old friend of Barcelona. However, these coaches knew best that Li Ang was not an old friend of anyone. As long as you were Sporting de Gijón's upcoming opponent, you could only wait for this person to be ruthless.
Of course, the Barcelona people were not very polite to Li Ang, an old friend. Starting from the "newspaper" in Li Ang's room, the Sporting de Gijón team felt uncomfortable everywhere after coming to Barcelona.

Li Ang focused on the game between Real Betis and Barcelona. "Of course, the individual referees in these games are debatable, but this is not the reason why the Barcelona people can blame the referee for the loss."
Li Ang said this not to defend the referee. His relationship with the Spanish referees' committee was not good. "How did Real Betis win?!" Li Ang pressed the pause button and the screen froze on Decaux dribbling the ball on the right flank. "In this game, Rijkaard mainly played on the right flank, but Ferrer predicted this and focused on controlling the left flank! He restrained Decaux! "Ferrer was the Real Betis manager.
"Ronaldinho was a little distracted in this game, and the Brazilian obviously lacked the preparation to face a tough game."
"Rijkaard's team did not play very well in this game. They made some mistakes that had not been seen before. Moreover, the players were not focused enough and lacked a grasp of the rhythm. These two conditions are necessary for the team to win." Li Ang continued, "Maybe they thought they could win this game easily, and their minds were only thinking about Real Madrid."
Li Ang's joke did not arouse everyone's laughter. Everyone looked serious. Barcelona's away loss to Real Betis should have been due to a lack of concentration. Part of the players' energy should have been focused on the next game against Real Madrid. So, now that Barcelona had defeated Real Madrid in the El Clásico, there was nothing to distract them. Did this mean that Barcelona would be more focused and go all out in the game against Sporting de Gijón?!
"Although there is a Champions League game next week, Barcelona beat AC Milan 2-1 at home. They lost to Milan 0-1 in the away game. The two teams are now tied. Barcelona has the advantage in goals and occupies the first position in the group. So, they should not be too distracted by the Champions League," Banderas said.
Everyone nodded. Barcelona's biggest opponent in the Champions League group stage was AC Milan. Now that the two games against Milan were over, the Barcelona people should be able to easily defeat the other two opponents. So, Barcelona basically did not need to be distracted by the Champions League game next week.
Li Ang did not speak. Instead, he clicked on the last game, which was the El Clásico in which Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-0.
*****
"In this game, although the opponent is our arch-rival, Real Madrid, in fact, this is a very easy game. Real Madrid did not pose any threat to Barcelona throughout the game. The Barcelona people were happy to win. "
"3-0 to Real Madrid. The opponent had no power to fight back. They do have reason to be happy …" Pablo Banderas said.
"They also played beautifully. The media said that today's Barcelona team plays the most beautiful football. It's very watchable. Yes, it's very artistic," Scotti also said.
"Barcelona is really strong now. Their goalkeeper, Valdés, even joked to his friends that as the weather gets colder, he is afraid of catching a cold standing in front of the goal doing nothing," the goalkeeping coach, Corillo, said.
There was a burst of laughter in the stadium. From this sentence, it could be seen that the entire Barcelona team was now very confident.
Li Ang turned off the screen and watched the coaching staff speak. He smiled and did not speak.
When everyone expressed their opinions, Li Ang began to speak.
"Yes, the Barcelona people are now very confident. It can even be said that they are overconfident. The Barcelona people must be so proud now that they don't even recognize themselves," he said with a smile. "This is a good sign. I'm afraid that they are not proud. Otherwise, I don't know what to say at the press conference in the afternoon. "
There was a burst of laughter in the room. Before the start of the meeting, Li Ang communicated with the coaching staff. Everyone knew what technical tactics and psychological tactics Li Ang was going to use. They were all waiting to watch a good show.
*****
After the meeting with the coaches. Li Ang went to knock on the door of Milito's room. When he went in, he found the team captain, Hierro, and the team vice-captain, Albertini, there.
Li Ang froze for a moment, then smiled. It seemed that he might not have to come. With these two veterans, Milito would not have any problems.
He intended to comfort Milito. Li Ang already knew what Eto'o had said. He was worried that Milito's anger would affect his game state and mental state.
Glancing at the three people in the room, Li Ang suddenly felt that it was very interesting. These three people could almost be said to be the revenge trio.
There was no need to talk about Milito. He was such an honest Argentinian. He played his football honestly and dutifully. He did not offend anyone or provoke anyone. Eto 'o had opened fire at him with all kinds of contempt and disdain. Presumably, no matter how good Milito's temper was, he was now holding back his anger and wanting to fight.
Hierro? Real Madrid's old captain. Although it was an unhappy breakup with Real Madrid, deep in his heart, Real Madrid was still his biggest concern. Real Madrid had just been massacred by Barcelona with three goals. Hierro must be upset. Deep in his soul, fighting against Barcelona had become a habit.
Albertini? AC Milan's old vice-captain was similar to Hierro. Although he had been hurt by his mother team, the blood of the Italian veteran was red and black. After Barcelona defeated AC Milan 2-1 in the Champions League, Catalonia said some outrageous things to the media. Barcelona, which had been in internal strife for many years and had been away from the top of Europe for many years, had defeated AC Milan. They were a little too happy, and it was obvious that this made Albertini unhappy.
*****
When they saw manager Li Ang walk in, team captain Hierro and vice-captain Albertini knew who Li Ang was looking for. The two men quickly stood up and said, "Coach, you're here? We're just about to go out. "
Li Ang waved his hand, indicating that the two men did not need to leave.
Milito brought a chair over, and Li Ang sat down and looked at the Argentine with a respectful face. What a good player. Honest, hardworking, capable, conscientious, and obedient. At this time, Li Ang suddenly felt that if he had to choose between Eto'o, whom he had always admired, and Milito, who was in front of him, he would ultimately choose Milito. The former was too much of a jerk and would not be easy to be his manager. Milito was the one who made the manager feel at ease. Moreover, Milito was a typical big-game player, which was very important.
"It just so happens that the three of you are here," Li Ang said. "Let's talk about the game against Barcelona. Let's talk about Eto'o. "
Li Ang glanced at the three men, Hierro, Albertini, and Milito. The former's eyes were solemn, cold, and murderous. The latter's expression was also very serious and solemn. Milito, on the other hand, gritted his teeth …
There was murderous intent. That was good.
The atmosphere was good. Li Ang was very satisfied.
