Of course, as a victim, Van Gaal did not want to become a victim like this, he still needed to make a last ditch effort.
We are not at the end of the rope yet. Van Gaal is a top coach and he still has top players. Falling behind by two goals in the first half was not enough to make him lose his fighting spirit.
"Now, we're faced with a head coach who's out for revenge."
Van Gaal's deep voice echoed in the locker room: "I know you have all heard the story of that guy... He came to Catalonia alone and recommended himself to join the Barcelona Club. The theories he proposed at that time aroused the suspicion of
Mr. Ruyff was very interested, but he was kicked out because he didn't know how to train. Then he went to Atletico Madrid and became the head coach of Atletico Madrid six months later, preventing us from winning two championships last season.
Process! This guy is here for revenge! He will not hold anything back when facing us. As long as he has a little advantage, he will brag unscrupulously to stimulate our nerves and intensify our humiliation! From some kind of
From a perspective, I can understand Dick, because a man should take the most violent revenge for the humiliation he has endured! But as a member of his revenge target, I will never tolerate being retaliated by him like this! Because we also have the same
His own dignity! The target of his revenge is Barcelona. This is not a specific target, but Barcelona composed of us people! To take revenge on Barcelona is to take revenge on us, and we have not done anything to deal with his experience before! When
What should we do when someone bullies us? Hold our head and let the other person give him a good beating, and then let the other person leave with a long and arrogant laugh?"
"Of course not!"
The Barcelona players roared at the same time. They are all famous players who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they all have top standards and reputations. And some things that happened before have proved that Dick is indeed such a guy who will not show mercy at all.
After knocking you down, I will never say something like "I am lucky this time". Instead, I will look at you with contempt, give you a middle finger, and then say, "Now you know how powerful I am."
,asshole!"
This kind of humiliation is not only suffered by Barcelona Club, but every one of their players will bear it!
"Fuck, no one can lose to this bitch!" The Barcelona players were aroused by the same idea, and their morale began to slowly turn around, hoping to win in the second half.
Let's make a desperate counterattack - it's not like they have done this kind of thing before! Last season, they defeated Chelsea at home and completed a shocking reversal!
When the atmosphere in the home team's locker room began to become united, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room seemed much more relaxed.
"I think it would be hypocritical if I said you could do better at this time."
Dick smiled slightly in the locker room: "Keep it up, guys. Although I successfully made those fans use noise to deal with us in the first half, it can easily anger the Barcelona players. Because
They know that they will suffer greater humiliation after losing to me. As long as they don't want to be humiliated, they will try their best to defeat us in the second half... But I, Dick, want to humiliate a team, can they escape? No.
No, this is a personal grudge, but defeating Barcelona is also beneficial to Atletico Madrid as a whole! We want to fight for the championship! We must enter the Champions League next season! This is our goal! Anyone who stands in the way of this goal will be eliminated by us.
Kick him away without mercy!"
"Ba, Sai, Luo, that, also, is not, exception, exception." Dick said word by word.
***************************************
"The second half is about to begin, and there are no substitutions on either side... Is Van Gaal already desperate for the game? I hope to see a more positive performance..."
The commentator on Catalan TV sighed and said that he hoped to see changes in the team, but he felt that without substitutions, there would probably be no changes...
But after five minutes, he started to get excited!
"Beautiful! Rivaldo's long shot! Just a little bit behind!"
Crazy shouts of Barcelona fans rang out in the stands. Just now, their number one star Rivaldo received a back pass from Kluivert. Without stopping the ball, he shot a high-quality long-range shot. The ball passed by
Molina struggled to stretch out his hand, and then flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar...
Rivaldo took a deep look at Atletico Madrid's goal, then turned and walked away.
I didn’t get in this time, I must get in next time!
Rivaldo has such confidence. After Figo left, he had more space for activities and scored more goals. His scoring ability was fully utilized. Since the beginning of this season, he has played in seven league rounds.
He scored five goals and six goals in five games in the Champions League! This scoring ability is enough to prove Rivaldo’s excellence!
Dick whistled off the court, and then pointed at Makelele. Makelele nodded silently on the court. It was his negligence just now that gave Rivaldo a chance to score. Next, he will definitely
Don't make the same mistake again!
Rivaldo noticed Makelele defending next to him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Although Makelele's defense was quite good in the first half, the main defender was Baraja. In this world, he could
There were not many players guarding Rivaldo. Although the French midfielder performed very well, Rivaldo did not feel that he would be defended by the opponent.
Soon, he will feel what it will be like to be marked by the number one defensive midfielder in the world for the next few years.
Although Makelele is an intercepting midfielder, his marking ability is not bad at all. His physical fitness, defensive awareness and running ability are all excellent. This kind of midfielder is still available today.
If he is not taken seriously by others, it is because in recent years there have been several top midfielders who are both good at offense and defense.
They can both defend and attack, and often have strong leadership skills, such as Roy Keane, such as Redondo, such as Vieira... However, these monsters gradually
After he got older, the role of a defensive midfielder like Makelele gradually became valued!
In the eighth minute of the second half, Guardiola passed the ball to De La Pena. Fernando saw that Rivaldo had just turned around to get rid of Baraja's defense, and immediately sent a through pass.
However, this direct pass was interrupted by Makelele in the middle! He appeared on the passing route in time, then easily stretched his foot to intercept the ball in the middle, and then raised his foot to pass the ball
Belleron made a direct pass. Camorane received the ball from the wing and cut inside to shoot, but Arnault saved it.
In the 13th minute of the second half, Sergi broke through from the wing and planned to pass the ball across to Rivaldo. Rivaldo relied on his height advantage to finally get the ball under Makelele's close defense. Just after turning around, Makelele passed the ball to Rivaldo.
Rai's foot was already there. Rivaldo quickly dunked his left foot and dodged Makelele's press. Just as he was about to dribble the ball forward, Makélélé had quickly retracted his foot and continued to entangle Rivaldo.
He was forced to turn around - after such a delay, Atletico Madrid's defensive players were already in place. In the end, the attack only resulted in a reluctant shot and did not pose a threat.
Van Gaal frowned. He mobilized the morale of the players and placed most of his hopes of scoring goals on Rivaldo. However, the defensive ability of the short French midfielder was far beyond him.
Unexpectedly, during this period of time together with Baraja, Rivaldo also looked very embarrassed - basically I have never seen Rivaldo so embarrassed this season!
Now a substitution is needed to help Rivaldo.
Van Gaal thought about it in his mind, and then changed two people in one go.
Overmars came on, replacing De La Pena, and Herard came on, replacing Petit.
Strengthening the breakthrough ability of the wing and strengthening the protection of Guardiola in the middle, Van Gaal's two substitutions are quite targeted. However, Dick also immediately changed someone. He replaced Card with Cruz.
Moranesi instantly increased the defensive pressure on Barcelona's center!
Dick did not adopt a defensive tactic in the second half. That was because he knew that although Barcelona as a whole was not very good now, they still had several superstars who could instantly change the situation on the field. Atletico Madrid's overall advantage could not be used.
If they come out, they need to use offense to suppress them, exposing more weaknesses in their defense and leaving their frontcourt superstars without much opportunity to perform!
Barcelona's defense has natural weaknesses, and the midfield is getting closer and closer to being a mess. Apart from a few top stars, there is nothing to show for it. In this case, they will carry out the whole process to the ground and use goals one by one to defeat them.
Stars become irritated and fall into a vicious cycle of only using their personal abilities to attack. Only in this way can the team's advantage become even greater!
Barcelona tried hard to use offense to score goals, but their hope of reversing the situation was shattered. They attacked a lot, but they were unable to form a continuous attack every time. Atletico Madrid would immediately use their own offense after gaining the ball.
Taking the initiative again, the most terrible thing is that in such a see-saw attack, Atletico Madrid's defensive success rate is higher than Barcelona, and the number of shots Barcelona can generate is far less than Atletico Madrid!
Under such confrontation, Barcelona quickly conceded the third goal.
Molina struggled to save Alfonso's shot, and then Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack. Barcelona struggled to defend and formed a positional battle. Camoranesi passed the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle.
Del used his body to hold the defending Frank DeBoer, raised his foot to remove the ball, and then suddenly turned around and shot before Cocu came to cover!
The ball bounced on the lawn, then bounced off the ground, flew past Arnault's hands, and flew into the gate of Barcelona for the third time!
"The third goal! In the back-and-forth confrontation, Atletico Madrid still scored the third goal! They basically had the victory in their own hands! Barcelona lost and had nothing to say! They obviously looked different during the game.
It doesn’t look like a complete team. We only saw Kluivert running around in the frontcourt, Rivaldo shooting constantly, Guardiola’s passes rarely reaching the feet of his teammates, and the defense line
But it was broken again and again... Barcelona did not lose unjustly! They do have a big problem now, and there is no hope that this problem can be solved! The man who dominated Spanish football throughout the 1990s
Barcelona is about to go downhill!"
The words of the commentator on Spanish National Television seem to have opened the curtain, indicating that Barcelona is about to begin to decline!
