Chapter 695 Rome Olympic Stadium
"Bruce, I didn't expect us to meet in this way." Leeds United is not far from the hotel where Barcelona stayed, and as the head coaches of the two teams, the two still need to cooperate with UEFA to participate in some arranged activities.

"I've thought about it since I wanted to become the head coach, and I knew after you left Leeds United that we will have this day, and it will be soon." Hearing Li Yi's words, Guardiola couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

However, Li Yi's next words made Guardiola feel a little uneasy: "I believe in my own vision, you will become an excellent head coach, so good that you can pose a huge threat to me."

Guardiola really doesn't mind having a teacher-student relationship with Li Yi in name?You know, Li Yi is so much younger than him after all. Although Li Yi's honor has made many head coaches look up to him, Guardiola is a very proud person.

Perhaps, Guardiola didn't mind before, but at this moment, hearing Li Yi's tone again, Guardiola inevitably felt dissatisfied and dissatisfied, because he is only a head coach now, and he is still a very good head coach.

In the second half of last season, he took over Barcelona, ​​and then led Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid and win the league championship. This season, he directly left Real Madrid far away and won two championships.

Of course, Guardiola said something on the surface, but in his heart, Guardiola was already secretly ruthless. He wanted to win, and only when he won could he be treated as an equal with Li Yi. Otherwise, he might never be able to get rid of Li Yi.

After finishing the activities arranged by UEFA, Li Yi and Guardiola took the players to Rome's Olympic Stadium to adapt and prepare for tonight's game.

Of course, before the start of the game, the two sides still need to attend the pre-match media meeting. Although the media has been provoking, but Li Yi and Guardiola are veterans, it is naturally impossible to be on the order.

Besides, with the relationship between the two, it will not be a shame. Although Guardiola is unwilling and dissatisfied, he will not show it in front of the media.

As for Li Yi, he never made the media comfortable. After these years, the whole of Europe knew what kind of person Li Yi was.

In the end, the pre-match interview was uneventful, even though the players present only expressed their confidence in the game and their desire for the championship.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome is a stadium that can accommodate 10 people, and it is also the home of two Roman teams, but in recent years the games of these two teams have not attracted so many people, or this is the status quo of the entire Serie A.

At present, the attendance rate of Serie A is declining year by year, as is the competition and influence of the league, which can be seen from the early annihilation of Serie A this season.

But today, this 10-person stadium is full of seats, and even the supply exceeds demand. In addition to Leeds United and Barcelona fans, there are many neutral fans.

There was a lot of people in the stands, and the players had already returned to the locker room. The locker room was the most mysterious place for outsiders, so the sound insulation effect was very good. Even if it was so noisy outside, no sound could come in from the locker room.

"Guys, don't be so nervous. In fact, if you win too many Champions Leagues, that's the same thing. For example, I feel nothing after winning twice," Li Yi said.

"Actually, I have taken it twice," Beckham said immediately.

"I've also taken it twice." Pavin shrugged and followed closely.

Pavon was transferred to the first team in the 01-02 season, that is, in that season, Real Madrid won the ninth Champions League trophy.

"I don't have that much, I only got it once, but I believe that I will have two after today." Owen was originally sad, but the appearance of Li Yi changed his career honor.

As these people spoke, the Leeds United players couldn't help laughing, and their nervousness was replaced by envy and desire. They envied their teammates' status as Champions League champions and longed to become a member of the Champions League champions.

"So, don't be nervous, let alone we know our opponents so well." Guardiola's set in Barcelona is actually similar to that in Leeds United, but Barcelona understands better, and Guardiola's tactics are executed more thoroughly.

Of course, Li Yi knew Guardiola, but Guardiola also knew Li Yi. After all, Guardiola used to be a player under Li Yi's account, and even had a mentor-student relationship with Li Yi. Because of this, there are actually many similarities in the current lineup tactics between the two sides.

Leeds United lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Adler
Defenders: Baines, Pavon, Kompany, Zabaleta
Midfield: Beckham, Modric, Matic
Forwards: Bell, Owen, Mata

Barcelona lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Valdes

Defenders: Sylvinho, Pique, Yaya Toure, Puyol
Midfielders: Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets

Forwards: Henry, Eto'o, Messi
Leeds United is the main team to play, while Barcelona is a bit miserable. Alves and Abidal are unable to play, but it is not without good news. Puyol's suspension is over and he can just participate in the finals. Even if Xavi and Iniesta are injured.

In fact, many things can be seen from the starting lineup tactics of the two sides, but this is actually only superficial. In fact, the two pursue completely different goals, and only they know this.

Maybe something can be seen in this game. At the reminder of the staff, the players of both sides walked out of the locker room, and then walked into the court under the leadership of the referee.

When the players walked to the pitch, Li Yi and Guardiola were also shaking hands before the match. This time, the two were very intimate, not only shaking hands, but also hugging.

As for what was said?Basically, it is some scene words that are not nutritious. After all, the relationship between the two cannot really say anything cruel, but they must be thinking about defeating their opponents and winning the championship.

The results of coin guessing by the captains of both sides on the field came out. Beckham won against Puyol. It is natural to follow the feeling and preemptively strike first.

Owen passed back to Modric, and Modric passed back to Beckham. The England heartthrob didn't rush to attack after getting the ball, but watched for a while, waiting for Barcelona to open the formation.

And Barcelona's action is very fast, just a few seconds, Eto'o has rushed to Beckham, forcing Beckham to pass the ball to his teammates.

Matic took the ball, but Matic was just a transition. After taking the ball, Matic immediately passed the ball to Modric, and then Modric sent an overhead pass.

"Beautiful Modric's pass is full of imagination and suddenness." Irving also understood it and did not rush forward, so there were no defensive players around when receiving Modric's pass.

Taking possession of the ball and turning around, Owen began to attack Barcelona's defense, and Owen's choice of target was not the orthodox central defender Pick, but Yaya Toure in this game and the away game.
