"Hell, three people can't keep an eye on one Aguilera, what are they doing!"
No wonder Van Gaal is so angry. To be fair, Barcelona's defense didn't make any mistakes just now. When the focus was on the center, they were able to instantly form a three-man double-team defense on the wing. It was considered a good defense. But who would have thought
Aguilera, whose condition has gradually declined, had a big explosion? Counting the assists in the first half, he has already had two direct assists in this game...
One to zero and two to zero are definitely different situations. What’s even worse is that you encounter a head coach who doesn’t play by common sense...
When Barcelona mustered up the courage to attack again, they were stubbornly blocked by Atletico Madrid in the midfield. After not getting a chance in this attack, they originally thought Atletico Madrid would kill some time. After all, they were two goals ahead.
Atletico Madrid is already in a quite favorable situation.
Even Atletico Madrid players thought so. Belleron took the ball in the middle, and when he was about to hold the ball on the spot and then organize an attack, he heard Dick's voice from the sidelines.
"Did you forget what I said during the intermission? Who told you to make your own decisions?"
It wasn't very noisy in the stands now, so Dick's voice clearly penetrated into Belleron's ears. Belleron was so excited that he almost made a mistake in controlling the ball. Only then did he remember that Dick was in midfield.
During the break, the team was required to attack for fifteen minutes, but now only less than five minutes have passed!
Keep attacking!
In an instant, Atletico Madrid players understood what Dick meant, almost instinctively, and they switched from midfield control to attack!
"These guys actually want to attack! Are they crazy?"
Seeing Atletico Madrid players quickly pouring into Barcelona's half, the Barcelona players were extremely surprised while returning to defense.
Van Gaal was also surprised again - he was surprised more times today than in the previous games combined. Now he can't understand Dick's thoughts - he just wanted to prevent Barcelona from winning
For the Copa del Rey champion, the advantage of two goals at home is already big enough, but he still wants to attack. Isn't he afraid that the offense will fail to score but Barcelona will score an away goal? A two-nil win at home and a two-game home draw.
Winning is a completely different outcome...
Little did he know that Dick just wanted to take a gamble. He has already scored two goals. If he can score the third goal, then this advantage will not be ignored even by Barcelona, and if it can be expanded again
As for the score, Barcelona will definitely try their best to attack in order to save face. This will also consume more of their main lineup...
Figo and Rivaldo also started to retreat. The goal just now showed them the courage and strength that Atletico Madrid can invest in the offense. If they don't retreat, they may just rely on four defenders and two midfielders.
There is no way to stop these Atletico Madrid players whose morale has reached its peak!
However, can they stop Atletico Madrid's attack by retreating? In the final analysis, they are still rushing to respond, and they have never paid as much attention to this game as Atletico Madrid. In addition, Atletico Madrid players have already lost their ability after two wins.
After regaining their form, coupled with the outbreak of depression caused by their previous poor performance, the level that Atletico Madrid players can perform at this time has even exceeded their normal level!
People have three disasters and six prosperity. When used on the football field, it means that the player's state always goes from trough to peak. Atletico Madrid has been in the trough for almost a season, and finally started to get on the right track and climb to the top again. Such a good state,
It won't go down in a short while, and Dick caught up with it at a good time.
But to say that Dick is lucky... that is not necessarily the case. If he hadn't brought the team out of the winless streak, how could the team have gotten rid of the previous negative effects and gradually returned to the right track? People will only watch.
After Dick took office, the entire Atletico Madrid first team gradually changed. How many people know how much work Dick did during this process?
Aguilera once again dribbled the ball from the right to break through. Now the Barcelona players did not dare to underestimate the 30-year-old veteran. Sergi immediately wrapped around him tightly and refused to let him go.
Any passing space.
Seeing that he could not pass the ball again, Aguilera immediately made an emergency stop and handed the ball to Juninho in the middle. After receiving the ball, Juninho stopped the ball, turned around, and passed the ball back to Bei behind him.
Lairon then accelerated and ran towards Barcelona's penalty area.
His running attracted the attention of some Barcelona defenders, because it looked very much like a two-man collaboration after a back pass. However, Belleron did not pass the ball directly, but picked the ball directly with his right foot.
Picked to the left!
Solari, who penetrated forward, got the ball in front of Reiziger, then moved the ball to the inside and cut into the penalty area from the wing!
Barcelona's defense was suddenly in chaos!
Frank De Boer kept up with Hasselbaink, and Abelardo made another mistake. He did not keep an eye on Juninho in the penalty area, but was attracted by Solari who broke into the penalty area.
force……
Solari naturally discovered this, and without hesitation, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the back point!
Juninho appeared at the landing point of the ball, facing the falling ball without stopping and shot it in the early morning!
"goooooooooal! Juninho-Paulista! Three to zero! Oh my God, in the twelfth minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid scored again! They are far ahead of the invincible Barcelona three to zero at home! This half-time
The final was really eye-opening. No one expected that Atletico Madrid could lead Barcelona by three goals at home! If Barcelona was leading 1-0 in the first half without Figo and Rivaldo, it was nothing.
With Rivaldo and Rivaldo having already been substituted, they actually expanded their lead to three to zero in twelve minutes! With such a score, Atletico Madrid is almost certain to enter the Copa del Rey final, as long as
They were able to keep a clean sheet for the remaining thirty minutes of the game..."
"Abelardo, it was Abelardo's mistake again! The Spanish national team defender's performance in this game was simply a nightmare. This goal was lost because he was not marking people tightly. If it hadn't been for this pass,
The ball was too low. Even Juninho, who is 1.67 meters tall, could have headed the goal! And Frank De Boer's performance was average. Barcelona's defense problem is really a headache..."
In the crazy celebrations of Atletico Madrid players, Barcelona players were a little overwhelmed. During the halftime break, they only thought about how to equalize or even overtake the score. Who would have known that they would come back from being one goal behind shortly after the start of the second half?
Became three goals behind?
Dick once again became the focus of attention. When Juninho scored the third goal, he opened his arms and started running on the sidelines. His right hand pointed at the stands and rowed all the way.
In the past, all the stands he pointed to burst into loud cheers!
"Di! Di! Di!" A chorus of shouts rang out from the stands again. At this time, even the fans who had chosen to remain silent before began to shout loudly involuntarily. Such a heart-stirring game,
Who among the fans who came to the scene could remain calm again!
Van Gaal returned to his position with a sullen expression. At this level of the game, he couldn't help but feel discouraged. Although it was not impossible to overtake after falling behind by three goals, with Barcelona's current situation, they could really do it.
This point?
I came to the scene with the hope of defeating a weak opponent, only to find that the opponent was much stronger than I thought. When I finally adjusted my mentality, I was already behind by an almost irreparable score. The most important thing is that I thought Atletico Madrid at first
To recover the defense, Atletico Madrid started to block in the midfield. At the beginning of the second half, they thought Atletico Madrid would continue to block. As a result, Atletico Madrid launched a fierce attack. After conceding the second goal, they thought Atletico Madrid would delay the time. As a result, Atletico Madrid
Jing continued to launch a fierce attack...
No matter what you do, you will encounter unexpected situations, just once, and no one can stand it twice or three times - not to mention that Barcelona's condition has declined since the beginning of the second half of the season, and it is not a one-time or two-time defeat.
This time, when the entire team's condition is on a downward trend, can it still be brave enough to create a miracle?
Van Gaal knew that it was unlikely that if it were in the Champions League, Barcelona would be able to create such a miracle because of their attention. However, after winning two consecutive championships in the league, Barcelona's attention in the league is not as strong as before.
In some games, after seeing the possibility of losing, they will choose to save their physical strength to prepare for the Champions League. This is one of the reasons why they are still behind Deportivo La Coruna. In the Champions League, they were able to rise with a total score of 1 to 4.
They counterattacked and scored five goals against their opponents, but in the league they would unconsciously think about the next game when they were two goals behind!
In the league, Barcelona doesn't have the same desire as before, let alone the Copa del Rey, which is even less important than the league. The semi-finals of the Champions League will be in two weeks, not to mention there are more important leagues to play, they still have
Can you give it your best in the remaining games?
impossible!
When the game restarted, Dick began to direct the team to retreat. He might not be satisfied with two goals, but he could no longer be dissatisfied with three goals, and he could not wait to hope that the opponent would not catch him and press forward.
The gap is not realistic. At this time, it is the time to defend!
With three goals in hand, they will naturally become more adept at defending, while Barcelona will inevitably be more anxious on offense, eager to score and score again immediately - in fact, if they can endure the slow pace
If you attack slowly, you may be able to get one or even two goals back, but with this anxious mentality, even if you create one or two good opportunities, they will be wasted...
What's more, they just completed an epic reversal not long ago. If that kind of reversal could be achieved often, Barcelona would be invincible - the problem is that they are far from invincible, and they were lucky in this game.
It seems that he is not on their side...
In the next thirty minutes or so, Barcelona's best chance was Rivalta's powerful kick after breaking into the penalty area. Molina, who had made several wonderful saves, was a step slower this time, but the ball hit the ball.
The baseline popped up on the goalpost, and it was the closest Barcelona came to scoring in the second half.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Atletico Madrid suffered a big upset at home. They swept Barcelona with a score of 3 to 0, which almost allowed Atletico Madrid to enter the King's Cup final in advance!
