"What do you think about the game against Barcelona?" Li Ang asked.
"Win," Hierro said. If there was a team that he wanted to get rid of the most, it was definitely Barcelona.
Albertini did not speak. He nodded, and his eyes were also filled with the desire to fight.
"I want to score goals. I want to help the team win. " Milito glanced at the manager and the two captains. This honest man was also angered by Eto 'o's arrogance.
"Barcelona is in a good state now. They are playing really well." Li Ang said, "I have carefully studied their games. Their performance in winning games is perfect. No one can find fault with it at all. However, I still want to say that they have not met Sporting de Gijón before. We have a chance to win this game, "Li Ang said unhurriedly.
The three players' eyes lit up. They said that they wanted to win and score goals because of their inner desire. However, as for whether they could win or not, it was not something that they could control or consider. This was the manager's job. Now, hearing the manager say so, they had more confidence in their hearts.
"For example," Li Ang said, "Barcelona's offense is very smooth. It is very smooth."
"However, if we set up an obstacle in the path of the flowing water, such as a dam," Li Ang made a gesture of cutting it in half. "What will the result be?"
"It will be broken!" Hierro said.
"The front and back will be disjointed!" Albertini said.
"That's right." Li Ang nodded. "So, in this game, the midfield and backfield are very important. We have to be prepared to face difficulties."
Then, Li Ang looked at Milito. "This means that we will have fewer opportunities to attack than in previous games. Therefore, Diego, we need your goal efficiency! If there is a good opportunity, seize it! "
"I know, Coach!" Milito clenched his fists, his eyes firm.
*****
Li Ang was relieved. He was worried that Milito would lose his mind after being provoked by Eto'o. The purpose of his visit today was to appease Milito. He needed a Milito who was full of fighting spirit. However, he could not let anger get to his head. What he needed was a Milito who had a burning heart but was extremely calm and efficient in front of the door.
In addition, the two captains, Hierro and Albertini, were also present. Being able to unify their thoughts and face difficulties with a winning mentality was also crucial for the entire team.
"Yes, I'll attend the press conference in the afternoon." Li Ang suddenly smiled. "As for what I'm saying, just keep it in mind. Don't be affected by it."
After saying this, Li Ang took his leave.
The three of them looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the manager's last sentence.
"I think the coach's smile is a little …" Milito said. He was trying to think of a word to describe it.
"Treacherous," Albertini said.
"Ah, yes!" Milito nodded and then felt a little embarrassed. Perhaps he felt that it was not appropriate to describe the manager that way.
Hierro, on the other hand, nodded and laughed. He was looking forward to this game very much.
*****
The three of them chatted for a while. Just as they were about to leave, the assistant manager, Scott Tri, came in with a laptop in his hand.
What was he doing?
They felt a little strange.
"This is the video of Barcelona's recent games compiled by Editor Li," Scott Tri said.
"Haven't we already watched the game videos?" Hierro asked in surprise. In the past few days, the whole team had been gathered by Li Ang to watch the game videos no less than ten times.
"This is different." Scott Tri winked. "This is specially edited by Li. It's especially useful for Diego."
"You can also call Ribéry, Dinatale, and the others over to watch it together," Scott Tri reminded them.
Scott Tri left the laptop behind and left.
The three of them looked at each other in surprise. What was the manager doing?!
"Just watch it and you'll know," Albertini said with a smile.
Then, they clicked on the laptop and saw a video on the desktop.
When they saw the title of the video, they were stunned at first. Then, they could not help but laugh. The title of the video was: "Highlights of Barcelona's Beautiful Goal Conceded!"
*****
Then, Milito could not wait to click on the video. Sure enough, it was a video of every goal conceded by Barcelona this season.
Moreover, they found that it was not just a simple edit of the discarded videos. For every goal conceded, Li Ang had narration explaining how the goal was conceded, what mistakes Barcelona's defensive line made, how the defensive line was torn apart, how the attacking side took advantage of the opportunity, from the beginning of the attack to the end of the goal. The analysis was very clear and enlightening.
"Great!" Milito said happily. Such a video explanation made his eyes light up. For a striker, it was tantamount to finding the opponent's loopholes in the game. It opened a window for him.
"It's really very good," Hierro said in admiration.
"The manager is really working hard. He is very well prepared for this game, "Albertini said. Barcelona had conceded eight goals in thirteen games. Analyzing all eight goals like this required a lot of thinking and careful analysis. It was a lot of work. Li Ang was the manager, so his workload was very heavy. This video analysis must have been done by the coach working overtime and staying up late.
"I'll call Franck and Antonio." Milito nodded happily. He could not wait to call Ribéry, Di Natale, and the others.
Hierro and Albertini watched Milito run out excitedly. They looked at each other and smiled. The Argentine striker was really good. At this time, he still thought of his teammates. He was not selfish because he wanted to score goals. Such a player made his teammates feel at ease.
*****
At this time, the door was pushed open again. The assistant manager, Scott Teri, popped his head out. "Fernando and Demetrio."
He nodded at Hierro and Albertini and handed over a laptop. "There is an analysis of Barcelona's attack on this. You can take a look."
Albertini took the laptop. Both of them had smiles on their faces. It turned out that they also had a share. Although they were not jealous of Milito before, now they also had a share. It felt very comfortable and warm in their hearts. With their experience, this kind of analysis video was certainly not as helpful to them as it was to people like Milito. However, the manager thought of them, and that was the most important thing.
"It seems that the manager is very eager to win this game," Albertini said with a sigh.
Hierro nodded. That was right.
Then, both of them remembered that Catalonia's people had previously announced that their manager was "an old friend of Barcelona." Both of them laughed.
An old friend of Barcelona!
Looking at the situation now, how much he wanted to win against Barcelona!
