Rijkaard looked at the celebrating Lazio players and frowned.
Before this goal occurred, for seventeen minutes, Barcelona, which was more dominant, failed to achieve a scene that matched their strength.
In the game, although they were suppressing Lazio, everyone could see that Lazio was more threatening to attack, not Barcelona.
What does this mean?
It shows that Barcelona is completely restricted by Lazio!
At this time, Rijkaard focused his attention on the three winning midfielders.
A formation that looks very ordinary, but unexpectedly contains a murderous intention...
The configuration of three defensive midfielders makes Lazio's midfield particularly powerful and tough.
This was something he had never expected before.
He thought Lazio's three defensive midfielders were just to strengthen defense.
But I didn't expect Lazio's defense to be like this...
Very tough, not as tough as playing football, but more like playing rugby...
Physical contact is commonplace, and it is even more common for people to flip over.
Rijkaard did not realize at first what trouble this defense would bring to his team.
Now he realizes it, but it's a little late.
His team has conceded a goal...
Lazio stood at the upper hand, with a goal in hand. Then they used their skillful ball control skills to firmly control the football at their feet and began to delay the game. Then Barcelona really had no better way...
Although it is shameless to do so, such a blatant and shameless delay in the European Super Cup will bring disrepute to oneself.
But Rijkaard fully believes that Chang Sheng can really be achieved. He is really shameless and can really be shameless...
But when the game resumed, Rijkaard breathed a sigh of relief.
Lazio did not control the ball and pass it back and forth without making any progress, delaying the game time. Instead, they continued to give up possession of the ball and huddled in the backcourt for defensive counterattacks.
When Rijkaard saw this scene, he became energetic. He walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to be more careful when attacking. If the ball was lost, he would immediately grab it in the frontcourt and steal the ball.
Second attack.
Also pay attention to controlling the second landing point.
※※※
Rijkaard's idea was quite good. He surrounded Lazio's ball players in the frontcourt and forced Lazio to make mistakes.
After all, no one's players are robots that never make mistakes. As long as enough pressure is applied, they will make mistakes.
The idea is correct, but in practice it is not the same thing.
Lazio's players are certainly not infallible robots, but they are not fools either.
Will wait for Barcelona's players to come up and force them into a dead end.
When they have the ball at their feet, they don't need to pass complicated passes through the midfield and backfield, but directly send the football to the front with a long pass.
Even if Barcelona's players tried to interfere with their ball play by pressing closely, it would not have a very good effect.
Because Lazio's players are always able to move the football out of the dangerous area as soon as possible.
At this time, the kick they had worked hard on in training worked.
It only takes one or two very fast passes to defeat Barcelona's encirclement.
"José Passarella got the ball in the backcourt, and the Barcelona players rushed forward... Passarella quickly moved the ball away!"
"Beautiful! Under double-teaming by two people, Yinle still picked out the football..."
"They thought they had surrounded David Silva...but Silva came out like a loach!"
Although Lazio's players are young and inexperienced, youth also has the advantage of being young, which is good physical fitness and strong fighting spirit.
Their running ability is better than Barcelona's.
Rijkaard's Barcelona is a dream team, and this team is not yet dominant in European football.
In essence, his team is no different from other teams, except for the superb skills of the players. For example, they have stars like Deco, Xavi, Ronaldinho, and Eto'o.
Most of the time it is these stars who have played up their abilities, not tactics.
Rijkaard's tactics were not ahead of the times, and there was nothing innovative about them. He basically copied the winning Mad Dog tactics, and it was version 1.0. There was no copying.
Because his training execution ability is far worse than Chang Heng.
Therefore, the running ability of this team is not actually better than that of Lazio, which always wins.
Give the simplest example.
When Ronaldinho was in Valencia, he did not dare to be lazy in training every day and would definitely try his best.
The same is true in competition.
At that time, some media took a photo of Ronaldinho after calling others for his jersey after the game. In the photo, Ronaldinho was naked with his upper body tied up. He was holding Deportivo's jersey in his hand, which could be clearly seen.
See his muscle structure.
The six abdominal muscles have sharp edges and clear lines.
But after arriving in Barcelona, he had already won the Triple Crown and became famous. He obviously started to desert during training, and in the end he was just perfunctory.
There are also problems with Rijkaard's training.
This can be seen in his attitude towards Ronaldinho.
The two head coaches have completely different attitudes towards Ronaldinho.
In order to kill Ronaldinho's arrogance, Chang Sheng would rather put him on the bench and let go of the reinforcements bought for 30 million yuan.
Until Ronaldinho bowed his head to him.
And what about Rijkaard? In training, the genius Ronaldinho enjoys privileges. He can only train with the ball and not participate in other training.
This kind of thing is unimaginable in a winning team, but it really happened in Rijkaard's team. Maybe it's because Rijkaard himself is a genius, so he is particularly able to understand the genius.
Thoughts. When Chang Sheng was a professional player, he finally gave up on his dream of becoming a professional player because of his lack of talent. Therefore, he did not believe in talent, but rather believed that hard work could make up for weakness.
Under this kind of training state, Ronaldinho was able to help Barcelona win the Champions League. Chang Sheng had to lament the talent of this Brazilian.
It's a pity that such a talented player eventually fell due to lack of self-discipline.
In fact, in terms of talent, even Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not as good as Ronaldinho. That is a real genius.
But Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo worked harder and were more professional than Ronaldinho. So the two young juniors later surpassed the senior.
※※※
Under the strict requirements of regular wins, Lazio players can quickly pass the football to their teammates no matter what situation they face during the game. This allows them to perform very well even when faced with Barcelona's siege.
Calmly.
For the players who were in the Lazio team last season, they even disdain them.
No matter how powerful Barcelona's players are, can they be more powerful than dogs?
Through counterattacks one after another, although Lazio had less ball possession than Barcelona, they still had more threatening shots than Barcelona.
Rijkaard's adjustments did not help the team reverse its unfavorable situation.
Deco and Ronaldinho fell into the muscle forest of Lazio players time and time again and could not get out.
Ronaldinho, who always has a smile on his face when playing football, gradually became serious.
Seriousness does not mean that Ronaldinho will go all out, but it means that he has a headache...
Another forward in this game, Messi, worked very hard, but at this time, Messi is far from being the "successor to the world championship" in the future. Without the support of his teammates, there is nothing he can do.
Moreover, at this time, Barcelona's tactical core and focus are on Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho has the right to control the ball, and Messi is just a foil beside Ronaldinho. He is still just a player.
A small role looks very dim next to Ronaldinho. It is absolutely impossible to see that he will be the superstar who won the World Footballer four times in a row...
Even Chang Sheng himself didn't regard him as a player who needed to focus on guarding against.
Messi is nothing to worry about at this time.
※※※
Barcelona's offense has not picked up for a long time. After they were restricted by Lazio's tactics, the whole team was unable to perform.
Lazio is getting smoother and more confident as they play.
In the 40th minute, taking advantage of a corner kick, Lazio's center back Jose Passarella grabbed the point in front of the goal and threw the football into the goal with his head!
2:0! Lazio leads by two goals!
"It's unbelievable! Lazio is two goals ahead of Barcelona in the Super Cup!"
"Is this still the same Champions League champion Barcelona? It's really doubtful..."
"Jose Passarella——! The lion shook his head! The winning team took a two-goal lead!"
"Lazio led Barcelona by two goals in the first half! I just want to say now...Chang Zhen is indeed Barcelona's nemesis! Throughout the first half, Barcelona did not have a threatening shot! There was no chance that it exceeded 160%.
The ball possession rate is of no use at all! Rijkaard’s Barcelona is no match for Lazio..."
"Fortunately, the first half is over in just a few minutes. I hope Rijkaard can come up with some effective methods during the halftime break... But looking at him now, I really doubt him.
Can you take it out..."
"Obviously, Chang's tactics were very successful and caught Barcelona off guard. Who would have thought that Chang would use a defensive counterattack in this game? Barcelona was ill-prepared for this. And throughout the first half, Rijkaard was not
What targeted adjustments should be made..."
"Now think about those people who think that Barcelona will take revenge and win. It's really funny... Is this how Barcelona takes revenge?"
Amid the jeers from the commentators, the first half finally ended, with Lazio leading Barcelona 2:0!
This is really a score and scene that most people did not expect before the game.
Before the game, everyone swore that it was impossible for Lazio to defeat Barcelona and that Barcelona would succeed in revenge.
Now they feel that it is impossible for Barcelona to win this game.
Lazio's execution ability is so strong, they will do whatever the head coach says without discounting at all.
Facing such a consistently efficient team can only make people feel desperate...
It's absolutely normal for Barcelona to be at a disadvantage.

ps, on the last day of June, let’s keep the top four!
