On February 1, Beijing time, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City will usher in a match with Burnley at home. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola attended a press conference before the game, and with Xavi set to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, we cannot compare the pressure of coaching in Spain to this, where the pressure is much tougher.
I think it's a thousand times more difficult there. Six press conferences a week, a lot of games. The pressure you feel in Barcelona is unmatched anywhere else.
In the 22nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool will sit at home to usher in the match with Chelsea. Before the game, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was present at a press conference and Chelsea were playing very well and the team was really good. No one doubts this.

We have no problem getting a point. We have to do better, but we're different now.
The Korean team is too hard!
In the 1/8 finals of the Asian Cup, Klinsmann changed the formation to 3421, putting Son Xingmin at the front, with no speed on the side, no high striker in front, and was almost killed by Saudi Arabia in 90 minutes. Saudi Arabia scored a goal lead at the beginning of the second half, forcing Klinsmann to decisively change back to 4231 early, Cho Gyu-sung Hwang Hee-chan came on, Son retreated, and the configuration of high strikers and fast horses on the wing quickly brought a huge advantage, and the stormy offensive in the final stage besieged Saudi Arabia, and finally equalized in the 98th minute. This is the highest level since the start of this Asian Cup. As a neutral bystander, all I can say is that both sides played so well that I was very envious and jealous.

In the Qatar Asian Cup, South Korea eliminated Saudi Arabia 5-3 on penalties to advance to the round of 8. It's a bit of a pity that Saudi Arabia lost in the end with a one-goal lead. Saudi Arabia coach Roberto Mancini left the pitch early to express his displeasure with South Korea's unfair play in selecting opponents. By the time Hwang was ready to take the penalty, Mancini had already turned and walked back to the dressing room, and he was already aware that the elimination had become a fact. After being eliminated by South Korea, Saudi Arabia continued its embarrassing curse of not winning in the knockout round in 17 years. Saudi Arabia lost to South Korea on penalties in the 1/8 finals of this Asian Cup, and Saudi coach Mancini left the field early when he missed two goals in the penalty shootout. At the subsequent press conference, the Italian coach gave an explanation: he thought the game was over.

In the 108th minute of the second half of extra time, the Saudi goalkeeper sent an empty goal, but Cho Gyu-sung did not shoot and chose to pass, and then Son Heung-min's shot was blocked by Cho Gyu-sung. Previously, Cao Guicheng had a good opportunity to miss, and Sun Xingmin next to him was very angry. It's a pity for Saudi Arabia to lose this time! For Mancini, it should be very difficult to accept to lead the team to stop the #Qatar Asian Cup # round of 16.
Saudi Arabia's 17-year absence of a win in the knockout stages of the Asian Cup was also a curse, Mancini said: "I apologize for leaving before the end of the game, I thought the game was over. "I want to thank my players, their level has improved a lot. I'm sad to lose in this way, but on the other hand I'm happy because my team has grown a lot in the last period of time, but we still need to work harder. "After Mancini's early departure, there was criticism of Mancini on social media, with fans accusing him of lacking confidence in the Saudi team. The South Korean team's final offensive was too fierce, the most tired in the whole game was the goalkeeper of the Saudi Arabian team, in the last minute of stoppage time, the South Korean team equalized, it really makes people feel that Chinese football is still engaged in infighting, power schemes, shouting slogans, corruption and bribery, hey!
Klinsmann made it through the first hurdle, avoiding Japan to advance to the quarterfinals, and winning the championship was the ultimate goal
In fact, I don't know it, but I'm shocked, since the 2007 Asian Cup final lost to the Iraqi team and won the runner-up, the Saudi Arabian team has never entered the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup! In 2011, it was eliminated in the group stage with three defeats in three games; in 2015, it was defeated by the Chinese team in the group stage, and it did not qualify for the group stage; in 2019, it was defeated by the Japanese team in the 1/8 finals; and this time it was the turn of the South Korean team in the 1/8 finals. So, is the Asian Cup really that important for the Saudi team?
After being held to a draw by Malaysia in the final round of the group stage, Klinsmann smiled. South Korea avoided Japan as they wished! From being held to a draw by Jordan, to qualifying for second place in the group by Indonesia, to a hard-fought elimination of Saudi Arabia, Klinsmann and his disciples have been making choices. As for whether they gave the right answer, only the final gave the answer. If he is eliminated early, Klinsmann will still be criticized again.
