Guardiola dismissed Chen Hero's words as psychological warfare, while others thought Chen Hero was joking, and they laughed it off as a fart.

No one really took the words to heart.

Only the Liverpool players were working hard to make this "fart" a reality.

Time was tight, only three days.

But for Liverpool players, this was not an impossible task.

Although tactical adjustments were needed, the Liverpool players were no strangers to such adjustments. They were inherently capable of attacking, and at the beginning of each game, they were essentially attacking against other teams—if the other teams also attacked.

Now it was just a matter of extending the attacking time from ten or thirty minutes to ninety minutes.

For them, it was not an impossible task.

In these three days, it was more of a psychological adjustment than a tactical one.

Martin O'Neill once again started closed training.

This made the reporters very dissatisfied.

But not all media were dissatisfied, and the Catalan media were particularly happy.

"...Latest news, Martin O'Neill announced that his team is in closed training...rejecting all interview requests from reporters and not open to the public...What does this mean? This shows that they are afraid of our Barcelona! Because they are worried that their tactics will be seen by reporters and leaked...But I want to say—the whole world knows your little tactics, what's the point of hiding them?"

"Closed training is very stupid, it's like telling the world 'Liverpool is afraid, so they have to have closed training'..."

"There are still three days before the game, and O'Neill is only starting closed training. I don't know what O'Neill is thinking? In just three days, what can closed training produce? Even if they have a flash of inspiration, three days is far from enough. This kind of temporary change of tactics will only make the team at a loss and unable to adapt, leading to even more serious consequences..."

If you only read the Catalan media, you would think that the game was already over, and Liverpool had lost to the powerful Barcelona at home without any suspense.

The Catalans were so optimistic that even the Barcelona players thought so—Liverpool was thrown into disarray by their powerful pressure.

In fact, these people only guessed half right. Liverpool did make temporary adjustments to their tactics, but... the reason was not because of their great threat.

And so, with one day to go before the game, Barcelona arrived in Liverpool.

At John Lennon Airport, the team was warmly welcomed by Barcelona fans who had arrived in Liverpool in advance, with nearly five hundred people greeting their idols at the airport.

These Barcelona fans were wearing Barcelona jerseys, holding various welcome banners, and posters and portraits of the stars.

For a time, the exit of John Lennon Airport was filled with all kinds of Catalan accents.

Many Liverpool travelers were stunned when they came out—they thought they had taken the wrong plane and arrived in Barcelona...

While the media were reporting on the grand occasion of Barcelona's arrival in Liverpool, the entire Liverpool team was still in closed training.

This was the last training session before the game.

The main focus was on practicing set pieces, which was also a fixed subject before each game and nothing special. However, this kind of training was generally not open to the public.

With Chen Hero, set pieces were one of Liverpool's main scoring tools, because his header was so powerful...

Although it was closed training, many media still waited outside the Melwood training base.

After the training, the team would take a bus to the hotel where they were staying.

For them, the closed training was over, and they could interview the players.

Of course, as for whether the players were willing to be interviewed, and whether they were willing to tell the truth even if they were interviewed, they couldn't control that...

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the last training session before the game ended.

Martin O'Neill gathered all the players, whether they were going to play tomorrow or not even on the eighteen-man list.

The players formed a circle, and O'Neill stood inside the circle.

He said to everyone: "Tomorrow will be the most important game Liverpool has ever faced. It's just a Champions League semi-final, but why do I say that? Because this game will be the starting point for Liverpool to move towards glory. We will use the victory in this game to completely destroy all enemies who dare to stand in our way! Even the strongest Barcelona will have to bow down at our feet! We will let the whole of Europe, let the whole world know that Liverpool is invincible! This game is proof, proof that we are not talking big, dreaming, or talking bullshit! Since we can beat them once in last year's final, then we can beat them twice, beat them three times, beat them... countless times!"

Having been with Chen Hero for a long time, Martin O'Neill felt that he had become a bit arrogant...There was always a feeling of "overlooking the heroes of the world, nothing more than that" between his words and gestures.

It must be said that Chen Hero's great ideal was very tempting to him. If he was the coach of such an invincible team, then how important would his position be in future history...No coach could reach his height, and such results were what all coaches dreamed of.

But they had no chance, it was just a fantasy that could only exist in their minds. He was extremely lucky to have such an opportunity.

Of course, he had to seize it firmly!

If he failed, then this opportunity would disappear and would not come again.

Therefore, this time, only success was allowed, and failure was not allowed!

His winning spirit was felt by every Liverpool player, and they looked at each other, not quite understanding why the boss was so murderous today...

Chen Hero's great ideal, they did not know. Chen Hero did not tell them, and Martin O'Neill did not tell them either.

After all, this matter was a bit too shocking. They were all worried that in such an important game, this matter would distract everyone...

Barcelona's defender Pique was interviewed by reporters at the airport exit.

Facing the many microphones of the reporters, the expression on his face was very serious.

"Revenge? Yes, we are here for revenge!"

Straight to the point, without any nonsense, Barcelona's determination was overwhelming.

The reporters all smiled when they heard Pique say this.

They knew that this game would definitely be exciting!

A team that is good at attacking, meets a team that is good at defensive counterattacks, the duel between the strongest attack and the strongest defense!

Just thinking about it made their blood boil, and they couldn't wait for the game to start immediately.

Witness the peak duel between these two most powerful teams in today's football!

※※※

When Chen Hero arrived at the hotel with the team, he heard Pique's words from the reporters.

As Liverpool's "spokesperson," Chen Hero naturally had to stand up for his team at this time.

He said lightly: "Many teams claim that they want revenge when they meet us. But the final result is..." Chen Hero swiped his hand across his neck, everyone understood the gesture. "So the excuse of revenge is the most boring. I hope Barcelona can find a fresh excuse, they are very good at doing this..."

Then he began to imitate the tone of the Barcelona players: "Our possession rate is high, it's unfair to lose the game. Our passing success rate is high, it's unreasonable to lose the game. We have more shots, it's confusing to lose the game. We are perfect, flawless, unparalleled, and invincible in the universe, but we still lost the game, it must be the rules of football that are wrong!"

Looking at him imitating the Barcelona players' tone so vividly, the surrounding reporters had already burst into laughter, and some of the Liverpool players were even laughing so hard that they lost their breath.

After last season's Champions League final, Liverpool defeated Barcelona and won the championship. A few days after the game, Catalan media reported that Barcelona, from top to bottom, were very unconvinced about losing to Liverpool.

At that time, Barcelona's main midfielder Iniesta said: "Throughout the game, our possession rate was higher than Liverpool's, our passing success rate was also higher than theirs, and we had no shortage of opportunities. But in the end, Liverpool won... This is unreasonable, and for us, it's too unfair!"

Such ungracious words caused many media to ridicule Barcelona at the time.

Later, Guardiola came forward to protect his players, claiming that the media had misinterpreted his beloved general's meaning. Iniesta was just sad after losing the game and did not mean any disrespect to the champion Liverpool.

But his explanation was useless and pale.

Over the years, everyone knows what Barcelona is like—they can't afford to lose.

They believe that they represent the most advanced direction of football development in today's football world, and they should win. The banner of offensive football will surely be planted all over the world. Not letting Barcelona win is a regression of football, it is ugly, despicable, shameless, and an intolerable scandal.

As for the various protections that FIFA and UEFA give them in the rules, they think this is a matter of course—who told us that our football is the most beautiful, the most artistic, and the most dazzling? If you are envious, jealous, and hateful, you should play football like us!

The most beautiful things should be carefully protected, otherwise, why are exquisite works of art placed in museums and carefully collected?

Your ugly football is simply like stones that can be seen everywhere on the earth. What value and meaning do such things have?

Now Chen Hero, a stone in the latrine, is fully mocking and stimulating Barcelona.

Those who are not happy with Barcelona are of course feeling comfortable.

Amidst the laughter, Chen Hero walked into the hotel.

Gerrard came up and patted him on the shoulder: "You kid. Your words have made Barcelona angry enough!"

Chen Hero grinned: "I'm just afraid they won't be angry!"
