Benitez was so excited about this game. Not only did he smile rarely, but after Mendieta scored the penalty kick, Benitez actually waved his fist on the sidelines. This is Benitez
A very rare expression of excitement.
Van Gaal, on the other hand, had a sullen face. The person who supported Van Gaal the most was Nunez, the former chairman of Barcelona. Now Nunez has left the position of chairman. The chairman who supported Van Gaal the most has left, and Van Gaal knows that he
He doesn't have much time in Barcelona either. He hopes to leave the best championship in Barcelona before leaving.
Ever since he came to Barcelona in 1997, his time in Barcelona has not been very smooth. It should be said that Van Gaal failed in Barcelona during the past three years. First, Deportivo suddenly rose up strongly and began to dominate the La Liga championship. This period
During that time, Barcelona did not even win a La Liga title. However, in the Champions League, there was the tragedy of being beaten by Dynamo Kiev four goals at home. That game made Shevchenko famous in European football.
This season Van Gaal finally had a good chance to enter the Champions League semi-finals, but Valencia scored two goals not long after the game started.
In three years with a giant like Barcelona, he only had one Copa del Rey title. This was a very failed journey. Such results are really unjustifiable. Van Gaal was a little anxious. Although Van Gaal is a world-famous coach, his time as head coach
It's not very long, at most nine years. He comes from a well-known family and started as a coach at the Ajax youth academy.
He became the head coach of Ajax in 1991, purged those old players, and then vigorously promoted young players. They became the golden generation. From winning the UEFA Cup in 1992 to winning the Champions League in 1995, they almost won the Champions League.
He is about to complete the Ajax dynasty. His outstanding performance at Ajax has attracted the attention of the world. Many people believe that if it were not for Bosman's bill, Van Gaal would have been able to complete a dynasty at Ajax. Therefore, it can be said that Van Gaal would have completed a dynasty at Ajax.
Gall's head coaching career has been without any setbacks at all.
But his results in three years at Barcelona were really unjustifiable. That's why he was particularly anxious. He stepped forward to get angry at his players. He was really angry, so he asked his players to move forward and attack.
"Coach Van Gaal is too stubborn."
Riester shook his head. Van Gaal will soon be 49 years old. He has been the head coach of Ajax since he was 40 years old. It has been nine years now. It may be that he has been in trouble in the past few years and does not know how to adapt.
.If Van Gaal was like Benitez, who wandered around when he was young and experienced success and failure, maybe he wouldn't be as stubborn as he is now.
If Van Gaal is willing to change his coaching ideas a little bit, then his team will be much scarier than it is now.
"Isn't this great? Otherwise we would have no chance."
Oti was very happy. When he was looking for Benitez to become the head coach, he never thought that this day would come. His biggest expectation for Benitez was to lead Valencia to a Champions League spot.
But the results delivered by Benitez were far better than expected.
"So, Jaime, you can't choose coaches in the future just because of their temporary success. Some coaches are too successful, so they can't bear failure. Coach Van Gaal will need a long period of adjustment before he can succeed again."
"Why, Riester, seeing that Rafael has succeeded, you want to take him out of Valencia and go to a wealthy family?"
Oti listened to what Riester said and asked the question he wanted to ask while joking. The Champions League championship is not an ordinary honor. Any head coach will be worth a hundred times as much even if he wins the league championship. If he wins the Champions League championship, his worth will be even greater.
The increase is expected. Although Valencia is one of the top five traditional players in La Liga, it cannot compare with the European giants.
Benitez is only 40 years old now. If he wins the Champions League, he will be the youngest Champions League winning coach in the history of the Champions League. There will definitely be many wealthy clubs who want Benitez. To say the least, even if he cannot win the Champions League,
, as long as he can enter the Champions League final, his value will also rise significantly. It can even be said that Benitez is already much more valuable now than a year ago.
Although Oti was teasing, Riester heard what Oti meant. So he smiled and said: "Jaime, I will not let Rafael leave Valencia in a short time. Just like young players will not
Just like the environment should always change, a coach should not change clubs too frequently. And if Valencia has always been so strong, there is no reason for Rafael to leave."
Oti smiled and did not answer. Although Riester did not answer directly, he said everything that should be said. He will not leave Valencia in the short term, but no one can say for sure whether he will go to a wealthy club in the future.
Because it was two to zero, the two of them were talking and laughing. It was much better than the solemn atmosphere on the Barcelona side. Because Nunez on the Barcelona side already had a ferocious look on his face, and everyone else was in a bad mood.
Barcelona's ball control is very good. However, the current Barcelona is not the absolute ball control style that it later played. Van Gaal's style of play has the deepest shadow of Ajax. The fast style of play from the wing is indeed incomparable.
When he came to Barcelona later, because his style of play emphasized speed and lethality, he also made a lot of mistakes.
"Litmanen, Litmanen has already broken through Angeloma... passed the ball, and Cocu headed the ball! The ball was too good, Canizares got the ball. Canizares
Si, the hand-thrown ball was handed to Herard!"
Benitez's style of play in this game is very clear. Because Barcelona's style of play leaves one space after another in the back line, and Barcelona's current style of play also makes a lot of mistakes. Therefore, as long as you seize a counterattack opportunity,
Determined and quick assault.
After Herard got the ball, he didn't hesitate at all and just made a long pass. Herard's style is actually very similar to that of Xavi Alonso later. He is a player who can defend, attack and control the rhythm of the game.
player. The 22-year-old Herard is a real genius. This time the long pass was once again handed to the right.
"Angulo, Angulo got the ball. Angulo handed the ball to Mendieta in the middle, a beautiful one-two!"
After Angulo caught the ball, he gave the ball to Mendieta, and Mendieta immediately picked the ball. After playing the simplest one-two with Angulo, Puyol once again became the back figure between them.
In this game, the young Puyol can be said to have been completely blown away by Valencia. Who could have thought that such a Puyol would be the world's top defender in the future. Any successful player will have such moments, Puyol thought.
To become the world's top defender, it also requires this process.
Angulo kept rushing in, and many people in the penalty area were nervous. Jankoler pressed forward again, Lopez also penetrated into the penalty area from the left, and Mendieta followed up from behind. Because Angulo passed the ball in this game
Most of them, so even Barcelona's goalkeeper paid more attention to Jankol. At this time, Angulo decisively hit the near corner, catching everyone off guard.
"Three to zero. This is a football match. Judging from game statistics, Barcelona's ball possession rate and number of shots are much higher than Valencia's. But this is the game. It turned out that Valencia led Barcelona three to zero. In fact, this was
Judging from the competition this season, Valencia has always been Barcelona's nemesis. This is the third time Valencia has encountered Barcelona this season, and it has actually completed three consecutive victories. According to such statistics, Benitez is coaching Este
We beat Barcelona when we were at Remadura."
"It should be said that Benitez is Barcelona's nemesis and coach Van Gaal's nemesis. Benitez's style of play is exactly suitable for the style of playing Barcelona."
Yes, Benitez’s style of play is indeed Van Gaal’s nemesis. In fact, it’s not just Benitez alone, but also Cooper, who is currently at Celta Vigo. Benitez, Cooper’s defense
It is difficult for a team with excellent counterattacks to win. Even Ranieri's style of play can restrain Barcelona.
There are rarely big scores in the Champions League semi-finals, but this game was different. It was not because of how powerful Valencia's attack was, but entirely because of Van Gaal's disregard and Valencia's style of play that just restrained Barcelona.
A passionate game. Not because of Valencia, but because of Barcelona. Barcelona played harder after falling behind, leaving more space for Valencia. Valencia can play as much as they want.
own ability to fight back.
By this time, the Valencia players were no longer simply celebrating. The Valencia players were already going crazy. The first half was about to end, and Valencia was already leading Barcelona 3-0. This game was played
It was really hearty, and the counterattacks were almost accurate. Barcelona's defenders were more embarrassed than the last.
"Stade de France! Stade de France! Stade de France!"
"We're going to Paris! We're going to Paris!"
"Barcelona, we will teach Real Madrid a lesson for you!"
Valencia fans shouted excitedly. Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 in yesterday's game and is very likely to enter the Champions League final. That's why Valencia fans are celebrating like this.
Valencia's on-site commentator also shouted excitedly: "Three to zero, we are leading Barcelona three to zero. We are going to the Champions League final, and we are going to Paris."
Who can not be excited? After all, in the century-old history of Valencia, it should be said that since the launch of the Champions League, it has never entered the Champions League final. Therefore, all Valencia fans excitedly cheered loudly on the court. (To be continued.
