The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!
Compared to Real Madrid, which staged a triumphant return under the attention of the whole world, Barcelona returned from Bilbao in a bleak and desolate manner. Both the media and fans adopted a low-key approach.
The next day, all major media in Catalonia were reporting on Real Madrid's comeback to win the championship. This was the most interesting news today. At the same time, many media including Daily Sports and World Sports reported that
They are all reflecting on Barcelona's loss of the championship.
Many media believe that Rijkaard had problems with his formation in the last round of the game against Athletic Bilbao.
After Harvey returned from injury, he played in consecutive games and his performance was remarkable. Why can't he play?
At the critical moment, Real Madrid showed the spirit and courage to win the championship, while Rijkaard's formation was full of timidity and cowardice. This was what the media and fans believed was the key to Barcelona losing the championship.
The media was awash with accusations against Rijkaard, but also criticism against Ronaldinho and Eto'o.
Eto'o has not scored a goal in several games, and Ronaldinho's recent performance is not very satisfactory. Both of them seem to be contained, which is not a good sign.
Especially for the next Champions League final.
To use the question raised by World Sports News: "We have sent all the champagne to celebrate the championship to Paris. If we cannot win the championship, what will happen to the bottle of champagne?"
Even Daily Sports, which has a slightly more tolerant tone, believes that the team should reflect on the issue of losing the league title.
From leading by ten points to being reversed by three points to win the championship, this proves that Barcelona must have problems. So, where is the problem? Has it been solved?
The media also broke the news that during halftime of the game against Athletic Bilbao, head coach Frank Rijkaard and assistant coach Tenkat had a heated argument on the sidelines, which resulted in Tenkat staying on the court throughout the halftime break.
inside without returning to the locker room, which is unusual.
Many people know that Tenkat will leave at the end of this season, but at this critical moment, two people who should be working together sincerely have such a fierce conflict, which has to be worrying.
And everything points to Rijkaard.
Why?
Rijkaard did not offer any defense from beginning to end, and he did not even accept interviews with media reporters.
In the morning, after finishing the training class, he locked himself in the office.
And last night, he didn't sleep all night.
You can tell from the bloodshot eyes.
I'm very tired and want to sleep, but... I can't.
…
The awards ceremony at the Bernabeu was being broadcast live on television.
Rijkaard slumped on the sofa with an expressionless face and watched silently.
The championship trophy that appeared on the TV screen should originally belong to him and Barcelona.
This award ceremony was originally supposed to be held at Camp Nou, but now, everything has gone away from him.
Even his right-hand assistant is leaving him.
He actually regretted being angry with Tenkat, because for many things, it was impossible to explain the reasons based on the cooperative relationship between the two, such as Tenkat's bombardment of Russell.
This matter did not go without Rijkaard's consent, but Tenkat bombarded Russell, and Rijkaard felt quite happy, because he had already seen that Russell was not feeling well, and he had long wanted to punish him.
He taught Russell a lesson.
But Tenkat did cause a lot of trouble when he did so.
Fortunately, Russell left later.
There are also things like Tenkat going over his shoulder, which is too much, but in fact it was Rijkaard's tacit approval.
It's just that sometimes, Rijkaard feels that Tenkat has more control than him, the head coach, and sometimes even he, the head coach, has to control and interfere.
This is how conflicts arise.
Rijkaard has some regrets, but he will not apologize or admit his mistake.
On the TV, Real Madrid players were celebrating holding the La Liga championship trophy, and the scene was very lively.
Rijkaard's eyes were very bitter, and he didn't know whether it was because he was sad or because he didn't sleep last night. Anyway, his eyes were very bitter and uncomfortable, but there was fire in his heart.
He doesn't care what others say, but he knows in his heart that he personally sent away the La Liga championship that should have belonged to Barcelona!
If it weren't for him, this championship would definitely belong to Barcelona!
Now he knows why Tenkat insists Gao Shen is determined to win La Liga.
Because after winning La Liga, Real Madrid's morale was greatly boosted, while Barcelona was hit hard.
It's not that Rijkaard hasn't thought about this, but at that time he felt that his team was unlikely to lose the championship, so he didn't attach much importance to it. But now, the championship has really been lost and the consequences have really come, he just
I found that the price was really high.
what to do?
From the San Mamés Stadium last night to the Gamber Sports City today, everyone at Barcelona is waiting for Rijkaard to give an answer.
Tenkat, the guy who usually grabs the limelight and makes up his own mind, took a day off today.
It wasn't even approved by Rijkaard.
Rijkaard can only decide what to do next.
…
Just after the lunch break, members of the Barcelona coaching staff came to the office and saw Rijkaard appearing in front of everyone with a pair of big panda eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and his slightly curly hair seemed to have suddenly turned a lot whiter.
Yes, even though his skin is dark, it is still very obvious.
This shocked everyone.
"A special training is scheduled for this afternoon."
Rijkaard's voice was a little hoarse. I don't know if it was caused by anger or being too dry.
"Let Messi and Xavi both participate in the training of the main team."
Barcelona's coaches were all shocked. Are they all going to start?
Messi has just returned from injury and has not played a game yet. Can he do it?
But before the coaching staff could ask a question, Rijkaard pointed at one of the assistants and said, "Go and talk to the team doctor about Messi's situation. Tell him that I need Messi to play this Champions League final for me!"
Rijkaard's tone was not a discussion, but an order.
"Also, our next training must focus on strengthening our offense. I want to destroy Real Madrid at the Stade de France!"
After saying that, Rijkaard turned around and left.
Everyone in the coach's office was stunned and couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Is this the gentle Rijkaard they are familiar with in daily life?
God, is he driven crazy by the pressure?
When playing against Athletic Bilbao, his formation was too conservative, which prevented the team from opening up. Now, in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, does he want to risk everything?
Isn't this going from one extreme to another?
Shouldn't he be discouraged at this time?
Everyone looked at each other, but suddenly discovered that the person who always argued with Rijkaard, and even dared to start a conflict in person, took leave today.
what to do?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally we come up with a result.
Just do it!
We are all just coaches.

…………
No one knows what happened in Barcelona's Gamper Sports City.
It seems that no one knows what kind of training Real Madrid's Valdebebasri is doing.
Everything is kept secret from the outside world and kept secret again.
The two teams played the last round of away games in La Liga and only had two days of rest after returning to the team.
The Champions League final was held on Wednesday night, and Real Madrid ended their training session on Tuesday morning. After lunch, they took a charter flight to Paris. Everyone took their lunch break in a hotel on the outskirts of Paris.
Real Madrid has dedicated scouts tracking Barcelona's every move.
The opponents arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport later than Real Madrid, and then they went directly to the hotel in Versailles.
Both teams made the same choice, which was to arrange training at their own locations as much as possible.
This is not surprising, because in Paris, countless cameras are focused on the two teams. Such training is unlikely to have any effect. It would be better to stay in the training base and close it.
According to the information obtained by Real Madrid's scouts, Barcelona focused on arranging shooting and set-piece tactics in the last two days of training.
Another thing worth noting is that after Barcelona lost to Bilbao, Rijkaard put Messi into the main team in the second training session after returning to Gamber Sports City.
Since then, Messi has been training with the main team.
This is also a very obvious signal.
Barcelona will probably start Messi.
When Gao Shen received the news, his whole head ached.
Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Messi, can such a trident be stopped?
Another thing that can be concluded is that Rijkaard will definitely adopt more aggressive tactics.
The reason is also very simple. After losing in La Liga, he must face Real Madrid with a more aggressive momentum, and may even attack first to score goals, thereby making up for the blow after losing in La Liga.
In this case, it is understandable that he bets heavily on Messi.
In the midfield, Deco's partner is either Xavi or Iniesta.
Gao Shen has certainly not been idle these two days. He has been adjusting the team's defense, especially against Barcelona's offense.
Facing Barcelona like this, Gao Shen couldn't really do much but defend.
After the team arrived in Paris, they took a lunch break in the hotel, and then, according to UEFA's arrangements, went to the Stade de France for a familiarization training session. This was also Real Madrid's last official training session before tomorrow night's game.
Maqueda and Buenaventura still presided over the training, while Gao Shen mostly watched from the sidelines.
Moreover, there are many media reporters and fans now, so even if it is an open training, there will be no secrets at all.
Real Madrid also practices some regular set-piece and shooting drills.
What is really eye-catching is that Gao Shen specially arranged penalty kick training.
This is definitely a point worth paying attention to for the media.
It is not difficult to interpret from this that Gao Shen's intention is still to defend, and may even drag the score into a penalty shootout.
Barcelona controls the ball and attacks, Real Madrid defends tightly, and it is not completely impossible to have a penalty shootout after a draw.
Especially after being coached by Gao Shen, Real Madrid is notoriously conservative and one-to-zero.
