When Tottenham won a 10-1 victory in the league, and at the same time, the match between Manchester United and Chelsea made the two of them widen the gap with Tottenham at the same time, Guardiola, who was sitting in his office in Barcelona, ​​also patted his forehead in depression.

He knows very well what the six-point gap represents. Now there is a six-point gap between him and Real Madrid. This gap appears at the end of April. For a team that wants to win the championship, it often means that the championship has basically been obtained. For a team that fights on two-line, it means that they can regain their attention on that route.

If Tottenham regained his attention in the league, he would naturally focus on the Champions League. As Tottenham's opponent, although Guardiola is not afraid of Tottenham, he still hopes that Tottenham will not turn his head at all. If Tottenham ignores his existence and regards himself as air, that is the best.

But he also knew that it was unlikely. Although he had no contact with Li Bin, he also knew that his team would not have such good treatment. Because their name is Barcelona, ​​the name Barcelona will not be despised wherever they were placed.

But Guardiola himself is not sure whether his team can really defeat Tottenham: he has enough confidence in the strength of his team, but Tottenham's strength seems to be not weak. In the game, any small accident may lead to an accident. Therefore, Guardiola himself dare not say that he is full of confidence.

In his heart, he still hoped that Tottenham Hotspur was affected by some unexpected factors and could not play with all his strength. He himself knew that such thoughts were too dark. However, these were originally part of football - because there were many teams distracted from off-court affairs, it would not be an exaggeration for his team to gain some small advantages - it was not something he had caused the accident to break out.

Moreover, even now, Barcelona still has a small unexpected small advantage that can be taken.

The order of home and away games in the Champions League quarterfinals is determined by the draw method. The reason for the decision is to see who is drawn first or away first. Originally, Barcelona was very depressed by their bad luck because they need to play first and then away. In the key life-and-death battle, they have to play at Tottenham's home court, but the volcanic ash that suddenly swept across Europe changed all this, which became a small accident that Guardiola is looking forward to.

Because the volcanic eruption in Iceland has affected Europe's aviation, and now all the planes in half of Europe are dizzy. This Champions League game first and then hosted has become a huge torture, because the game time cannot be changed. Now, when playing away games in foreign countries, you can only pass long-distance buses or trains. Such a journey is very tormenting. The more physical energy you consume on the road, the harder it will be to win in the game.

Guardiola knew this, and he was very familiar with the details. Barcelona's airport was closed a few days ago, and it is impossible to fly from London to Barcelona now.

This can also cause great torture to the opponent. If there is no plane, it is impossible to ride a car for such a long time without a plane, and it is impossible to not be affected by the physical strength from such a long car. If Tottenham's physical strength is affected, Barcelona's chance of winning will be greatly improved.

The entanglement with Real Madrid in the league is very tight. It would be great if the off-court factors can be used to weaken the opponent.

Therefore, when his assistant coach Bilanova walked over with a dejected look on his face, Guardiola became slightly nervous in his heart, "Why, is there any bad news?"

"Very bad news - volcanic ash may not stop Tottenham, because Tottenham has already set out in advance," said Bilanova. "They have now boarded the train and left London."

"So fast?" Guardiola was slightly surprised, "but there are two days left in the Champions League."

"Obviously, Li Bin expected that the ash would have an impact on his team." Biranova was also slightly helpless in this regard. "They decided to set out one day in advance and divide the journey into two days. The first day is to rest in Marseille, and then come to Barcelona the next day."

This news made Guardiola raise his eyebrows and smile bitterly: It seems that the opponent's coach is smarter than he thought. These off-court factors are not difficult for Tottenham. It seems that he must have a desperate battle with Tottenham on the court.

----------------------------------------

While Guardiola lamented that he had not expected Li Bin's actions, Li Bin was also making final preparations for the future competition in the hotel in Marseille.

After Tottenham defeated Wigan Athletics, their pace in the league did not stop. Although they need to put in more energy to deal with the Champions League, with the arrival of the new week, Tottenham still played in a good form in the match against Villa.

Last season, Villa had a good performance against Tottenham. In this season, although Tottenham had played 5-0, whether it would affect the Champions League game is still a concern for people. Obviously, Li Bin also knows that Villa is difficult. In this game, except for Di Maria, who is more susceptible to fatigue, who was arranged to rest by Li Bin, almost all the other main players were on the court, which gave Villa no chance.

In the game, the focus of Tottenham's attack was obviously Lennon on the right side. As a rotation player, in the next game, he only doesn't need to play in the next round, so he can also run hard. In the game, he also used his strength to tell his opponent why he could become England's starting full-time forward, while Villa's Ashley Young and Downing can only be the marginal internationals.

His speed and explosiveness were undoubtedly shown in the game. With his teammates opening space for him, he made Villa even more unstoppable. Lennon made a cross in the first half, Cavani headed the first ball, and in the second half, Bale once again kicked a very beautiful ball in a corner attack. Coentrane inserted it in time, which made him find an opportunity and scored successfully, allowing Tottenham to win the game 2-0.

After defeating Villa, Tottenham Hotspur also proved to people that they are getting closer and closer to the championship in the league. Now in the Champions League, they also need to work hard.

At that time, he also discovered some embarrassing things: Volcanic ash, a big killer, was not obtained by Barcelona, ​​but became an obstacle for Tottenham.

Li Bin was also helpless in this regard: Volcano ash is not a friend's wife's game. Things like a friend's wife's game will definitely happen to fixed people, but the draw in the Champions League determines home and away games, so whoever catches up is really unlucky. In my memory, this thing ruined Barcelona, ​​but now Tottenham has met them.

Because the plane stopped operating, when you went to Barcelona, ​​you could only choose the railway. However, if you really walked the whole journey for more than ten hours, the Tottenham players would not go to play football, but to die. In my memory, when they rode the 13-hour bus in Barcelona and Inter Milan, they were exhausted physically and mentally. In the away game, although they were able to score goals when they were in good physical strength in the first half, they were not physically strong and were immediately killed by others.

Chasing three goals in a row. The way Tottenham plays football requires more physical strength than Barcelona. If you really take a bus, then you can just go there and surrender - not to mention that some of the habits of Barcelona fans are not very good in memory. If you take a bus and then can't rest overnight, you will go to Camp Nou, one of the largest stadiums in the world, to run 10,000 meters the next day. This level of fatigue is hard to accept, and it is not surprising that Li Bin kneels like this.

However, encountering things is inevitable, and does not mean that there is no way to solve them.

"Thanks to you that you have to book a hotel in the middle so that we can rest in the middle, otherwise, if we went to Barcelona like this, we would probably really die there."

When talking about this problem in the hotel in Marseille, Esposito also sighed: He did not expect that Li Bin would solve this problem so simply: first from London to Marseille, after a day off in Marseille, then go to Barcelona, ​​which solved the problem.

From London to Marseille, it took only more than six hours to reverse the train from Paris in the middle of the journey. And tomorrow, it should take five hours to get there from Marseille to Barcelona. It was originally a journey of more than ten hours, but after the split, it became two not too long journeys, which were probably equivalent to the journey from London to Newcastle, and the players could still accept it.

Guardiola was not aware of this measure. Although he was a good coach and could predict the impact of volcanic ash, he had been in office for too short, and he was not clear about many things that needed to accumulate experience and could not handle such things. And Li Bin had long been very clear about these: although volcanic ash is an unexpected phenomenon and rarely seen, Li Bin has seen a lot of similar situations. In fact, this is also the experience that Li Bin learned from others: because French aviation and railways often play strikes, and the team often encounters unchanged travel, so... Many French teams have similar experiences. By learning from them, this problem can be effectively avoided.

In Li Bin's memory, it seems that Bayern and Lyon also encountered the problem of volcanic ash at that time, but Lyon was able to avoid it. Their method was to go on the road one day in advance and rest on the road for one day. Instead of taking a bus for more than ten hours at a time, they split the distance into two halves to avoid physical loss. They could avoid it, in fact, just an experience, plus the advantage of having no desires in the league, and starting in advance. Therefore, although they also had more than 600 miles round trip, there was no particularly large loss. This measure can effectively avoid some physical loss. No one mentioned it in the Champions League at that time because Lyon was too weak at that time, and although there was no big impact, he could not play Bayern. However, they proved that this trouble could be avoided.

This experience can be learned. Moreover, after learning, Tottenham can overcome the last obstacle. They are not under much pressure in the league and can set out in advance. When they arrive at Barcelona, ​​they can also be in the best condition.

In Li Bin's memory, when Barcelona rose, it was also the time when England's tax reform and Premier League teams declined from prosperity. Therefore, although Meng San team was invincible for a long time, they still could not avoid the problem of Chelsea's poor record when they retained a lot of strength. In Li Bin's memory, the peak period was staggered, which has to be said to be a regret for football.

But now, Li Bin wants to make up for the regret in his heart. He is about to visit Barcelona with a peak team that oppresses football. He wants to see who is the real strongest person. He will never be disturbed in this game!
