"Now it's time to make substitutions. The players on both sides of the field have reached a critical point."
"This is the most testing time. The two teams have been completely mixed together. It just depends on who can free up his hands first."
"Let's make a substitution. This time should be the right time. To be honest, under the current situation, maybe substitution can bring miraculous results."
"Both teams have a lot of good players off the court, and they have enough physical fitness. If they come up and charge, maybe they can do it."
"There must be external force to break this calm situation. The players off the field may be a good choice. It depends on how the two coaches choose."
...
At this time, everyone knew that the two teams were in a strange state of balance on the court, and neither could beat the other. Those attacks obviously did not bring about substantial changes, and finding new breakthrough points was the right choice.
.
The camera quickly turned to Wenger and Rijkaard standing on the sidelines. The game has entered this point, which is indeed the most testing time. Whoever can find a countermeasure may regain the initiative on the field.
"Leo, Leo went in! Eto'o, Eto'o, oh!! He should have pulled away! He was too hasty! Leo's space was squeezed by him, what a pity, what a pity."
Seeing a rare danger in the penalty area, the Barcelona commentator's eyes suddenly lit up and his heart trembled. However, it was wasted by Eto'o's overeager movement, which made the Barcelona commentator heartbroken. This was originally a change.
The chance of the game trend.
When Eto'o saw his teammates coming in, he immediately stretched out his hand to signal Messi to pass the ball, but he could not get rid of Toure's defense immediately. Messi did not dare to give it, so he hesitated and was immediately beaten by Fabrega.
Si was blocked, and he and Flamini teamed up to close the door and directly poked the ball away. Barcelona's attack ended in vain again.
Rijkaard was also a little annoyed about the ball just now. As long as Eto'o ran a little bit outward and Messi accelerated, it would create a situation where two ghosts hit the goal. At that time, whether it was Messi himself who hit the goal
It was an absolute opportunity for Eto'o to get the ball, but Eto'o wanted to get the ball himself. But he didn't get rid of the opponent in the first moment. Let this fleeting opportunity go away, and Rijkaard couldn't help it.
Feeling annoyed and angry.
He understands that Eto'o is the kind of player who has higher demands on the ball, but now on the court, Barcelona has two players in the frontcourt who have higher demands on the ball. Messi and Ronaldinho,
Eto'o plays more of a grabbing role in the front. He can only run better without the ball and seize the opportunity when it comes. Unfortunately, this cheetah sometimes seems a little anxious.
The game has reached this point. Even Rijkaard, who seemed relatively restrained throughout the game, was filled with anxiety. Rijkaard subconsciously glanced at Wenger and found that there was no expression on the opponent's face.
He was extremely calm and didn't seem to be planning to make any major adjustments on the field.
‘Are you so confident, then I will go first.’ “Henrik!”
As expected, he still failed to capture something from the opponent's details. Rijkaard suppressed his feeling of loss and turned his attention to his team. Rijkaard quickly
The Swede was called up.
"coach!"
Larsson, who was already thirty-five years old, looked like an eighteen-year-old boy who had just won his first professional battle. He suddenly rushed to Rijkaard and looked at him eagerly.
"Well, you go on the court, grab points, and make the ball."
Rijkaard is very satisfied with Larsson's current mental state. He is like a hungry tiger. According to his experience and ability, Rijkaard does not need to elaborate too much. He can just tell him two main points.
.
"Yeah." Larson nodded quickly. These two tasks were exactly what he was good at at the peak of his career. He believed that these two abilities were enough to be effective on this occasion. In fact, this is what he has always done.
I look forward to the stage where I am most proud of my talents, the Champions League final, a place that countless people dream of, and now I have finally arrived.
"Go up." Rijkaard patted Larsson and asked him to stand on the sidelines. He whispered a few words in his ear before turning back to the coaching bench.
"Barcelona is going to make a substitution, Barcelona is going to make a substitution."
"Rijkaard made the first change. Will this be the substitution that determines the outcome of the game?"
"Wenger seemed very calm, but several Arsenal players also got up to warm up."
"The Swede Larsson is standing on the sidelines. He is standing on the sidelines. Rijkaard is going to make adjustments to the frontcourt. Who will he replace?"
"Iniesta."
...
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Barcelona requested a substitution. Larsson followed the fourth official to the sidelines, waiting for his own opportunity.
"Number nine?"
"Eto'o?"
"Cheetah?"...
Rijkaard's adjustment was beyond their expectations. After all, the two goals scored by Barcelona were related to Eto'o. One was a penalty kick he 'created', and the other was when he used his body to press Campbell to grab a penalty kick.
The opportunity hit the post and bounced back to be shot by Messi. Obviously, as Barcelona's arrow in this game, Eto'o's performance is undoubtedly excellent, and the cheetah's physical fitness is obviously not the worst one on the field, so
In any case, it is unlikely that Eto'o will be replaced.
"What the hell is going on? I agree with Barcelona's substitution adjustments now, but it shouldn't be Eto'o. This season, he is Barcelona's biggest offensive weapon."
"Rijkaard broke his arm. How can Barcelona miss Eto'o if they want to conquer the city? This is the Champions League final. Eto'o has proven that he is a trustworthy player."
"What's going on? Is Eto'o in bad shape? He assisted Barcelona in scoring both goals. Moreover, without Eto'o's impact, Arsenal's defense can be suppressed."
"I don't understand, I don't understand, why Rijkaard made this choice. This choice is really incomprehensible."
"Why not try to make adjustments in the midfield? Even if Iniesta is not used, Deco can be replaced. His condition this season is definitely the best among the Barcelona team."
...
When No. 9 appeared on the big screen, everyone was dumbfounded. They really couldn't understand that Rijkaard would make such a choice. After all, whether it was this season or this game, Eto'o's performance was absolutely amazing.
A world-class forward. He can even be said to be in the top three, but in such an important game, the game is in an anxious stage, and he was abandoned. This is really incomprehensible.
They were unable to understand the details of Rijkaard's tactics in the second half. After all, they were not familiar with these players. These people were far less familiar than Rijkaard, who trained them single-handedly.
Eto'o was also dumbfounded. When he heard the prompt, Eto'o was stunned, his eyes full of astonishment. He never thought that he would be the one to be replaced. In Barcelona's lineup, he really did not expect anyone
Being able to replace himself at Barcelona's forward position, he is definitely the core of the forward line in Barcelona's formation, and his performance this season is worthy of the treatment given to him by the club. He repays the trust they have given to him.
But now, in the blink of an eye, Eto'o found that he was about to be replaced. On such an important occasion, in the Champions League final, at the moment of Barcelona's life and death battle, he was replaced. Eto'o even felt a little desolate.
Wonderful, he couldn't believe that he would be the one who was removed. But the bright red No. 9 reminder sign told Eto that it was true.
Eto'o even wanted to slap himself, preferring that he was too tired and dazzled. He didn't want to leave the field like this. When he walked closer, he hoped that the coach he admired would give him an answer. But there was no time. Hauge
Already came to remind Eto'o.
"Please hurry up." Haug pointed to the fourth official and reminded Eto'o, who was still watching Rijkaard on the sidelines, to get off the field quickly. Who told Eto'o to linger on the field reluctantly, and he had responded affectionately from time to time before?
Take a few glances. There is no time for him to waste.
Obviously after the suffering in the first half, and the fact that the chairman did not provide work guidance during the half-time break, Hauge was relatively confident and did not take the coaching course for so long, and the fourth official also reminded him
I really want to replace Eto'o.
"Fuck you!"
It was indeed me, and a feeling of abandonment came to my heart again. It was a feeling that I could never forget. It was something I had never tasted since I settled in Malaga, but now I am once again playing for a team I thought I could play for the rest of my life.
The team experienced it again. Eto'o couldn't control his anger and put his hands on his head. He still can't accept it. He cursed Hauge who came forward with endless unwillingness.
Eto'o really couldn't accept that he had to bid farewell to this game in this way and was substituted. When the team and opponents were most anxious and needed the players to go all out and resist, he let himself off the field and made himself a part of this game.
of spectators.
The gap was too big. Eto'o felt that he was the one who carried the team to the top of Europe. In the end, he found that he was the one abandoned by the team and was considered unnecessary. How could Eto'o really long to prove himself?
He could not be angry, and because he was too involved in the game, he couldn't think calmly at all. When he was urged by Hauge, he became even more angry, and the angry curse became a matter of course.
Hauge was dumbfounded. He didn't know what he had done wrong. Why did this guy say such a thing to him? If he hadn't wanted to replace him, why would he be angry at himself? Without saying anything, he directly touched his back.
pocket.
"Red card!!!"
"What did Eto'o do? He got a red card!"
"Oh my God, what on earth did you say? What did Eto'o say to the referee when he turned around?"
"How do we calculate this? Eto'o is still on the court, but he walked off the court looking out!"
"Larsson hasn't played yet, so this substitution is not completed. Barcelona is missing one player."
"Barcelona is going to be passive."
...
Everyone was dumbfounded. What did Eto'o, who was standing not far from the sideline, do to get himself a red card when he was about to leave the field? A red card that could very well change the situation. People here in Barcelona felt a dark cloud.
Pressure on the top of my head, a suffocating feeling. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
