When the players from both sides came on the field, the entire Camp Nou stadium burst into applause and boos at the same time. The applause was for the Barcelona players, and the boos... were for Dick.
Except for the game against Real Madrid, Barcelona fans rarely work together to boo someone at home - you must know that Dick is still a nobody. The so-called "dragons are not enemies of ants", so
If an ordinary coach wants to be booed by all Barcelona fans, it depends on whether he has the qualifications!
Thanks to the Catalan media, the verbal criticism of Dick during this period can be compiled into a book "Dick despises Barcelona". In addition, Barcelona lost miserably in the last Copa del Rey semi-final.
After all, they hadn't lost so miserably in several years, and Dick immediately became one of the most hated people in the eyes of Barcelona fans.
Listening to these boos, Dick felt a sense of enjoyment - in fact, he had no grudge against Barcelona. If he had any grudge, it was against Cruyff. The most unacceptable thing for him was that he thought Cruyff
Yves copied his detailed information on training Barcelona's youth training system and stole the training institution that he had perfected through the memory of later generations. Next, Cruyff can say that there is no need to cross the river by feeling for stones at all, and he can directly
If you train according to his information, you will definitely be able to create a prosperous era in which Barcelona will sweep the world in the future - how can Dick endure this?
And Cruyff is the honorary chairman and behind-the-scenes godfather of Barcelona, and he is also a person who has withdrawn from first-tier football. How can Dick embarrass him? Naturally, the only way to embarrass Barcelona is to embarrass Dick. Otherwise, it cannot get out of Dick's heart.
Breath of breath!
As for Barcelona, which is lying in wait, they will naturally dislike Dick. In the past, they didn't care because Dick was no threat to them. Now Dick has led Atletico Madrid to give Barcelona a heavy blow in the Copa del Rey.
How could they not boo Dick?
The more the opponent booed him, the more threatening he was - this idea made Dick happy.
So he walked to the visiting team's coaching bench with his head held high. When he was halfway there, he nodded to the Barcelona coaching bench like a gentleman, and then returned to his seat reservedly.
In this game, Van Gaal sent out all his main players. Kluivert, Rivaldo and Figo formed a trident. Midfielder Cocu and Gabri assisted Guardiola. He continued to trust Awe in the defense.
Rado, let him and Frank De Boer form a central defender combination.
Dick's has no changes, Molina, Capdevila, Aguilera, Gamarra, Chamot, Serena, Baraja, Belleron, Solari, Juni
Neo and Hasselbaink.
Barcelona narrowed the points gap with Deportivo La Coruna to two points in the last round of the league, so at this time they also attach great importance to the league. With a gap of two points, in four rounds of leagues, they have the possibility of completing three consecutive championships.
The nature is still quite big. Defeating Atletico Madrid will continue to put pressure on Deportivo. This is what Van Gaal requires of Barcelona players in this game.
From the beginning of the game, after returning to their most accustomed four-three-three tactics, Barcelona immediately launched a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid!
Dick knew that this game would not have the same luck as the last one. Van Gaal's formation in that game simply destroyed the Great Wall. However, in this game, they will definitely play with twelve points.
Treat this game.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid's defensive tactics must be implemented more thoroughly in this game. Not only must they defend the penalty area, they must also strengthen their defense in the midfield. What Dick needs is that the team does not give the opponent any scoring opportunities. As for the offense
On the other hand, he did not use a goal card in this game, but used a fall card, which was designated to be used on the unlucky guy Abelardo...
Once there is a chance, Abelardo falls down once and can take care of them with one ball! But before that, Barcelona needs to use tenacious defense to make it clear that it is not easy to break through Atletico Madrid's gate.
.
In this case, Ranieri's legacy played a role - although Ranieri's work at Atletico Madrid this season was a mess, after all, he is an Italian coach who is good at coaching defense. Before Atletico Madrid
The main reason for his poor defense was that he used a risky tactic of 433, which allowed Gamarra to swing back and forth between the sweeper and marking center back positions. However, in other areas, such as training defense, he still played
A lot of effort, you must know that Cooper's success in Valencia this season is more due to Ranieri's defensive foundation in Valencia, and Cooper has implemented this defensive tactics even more!
Atletico Madrid's players are not bad at defensive ability now. Coupled with Gamarra's command and the high morale of all players, they are not afraid to launch a tight defense in the midfield and backcourt, resisting waves of Barcelona players.
attack.
Rivaldo's long shot, Kluivert's support, Guardiola's organization, Cocu's forward penetration, Figo's wing breakthrough... Barcelona used all their offensive weapons, but faced
The monolithic Atletico Madrid were able to create some opportunities, but they were unable to seize them...
Molina also played to a very high level in this game. Barcelona has many players with excellent long-range shooting, Rivaldo is the leader among them, and Cocu and Guardiola are also very good at long-range shooting.
, Atletico Madrid could not expand the defensive area to that point. However, when Rivaldo and others used long shots to find opportunities, he used beautiful flying saves to block the opponent's shots again and again!
In the 21st minute, Rivaldo got a chance outside the penalty area. He immediately raised his left foot and shot the ball hard. When Molina flew to save, the ball suddenly downloaded in front of him and then passed from the lawn.
It bounces up and flies towards the goal - this is one of Rivaldo's long-range shots. The ball flew into the penalty area and then dropped and hit the lawn, changing its line and bypassing the opponent's goalkeeper's hand...
However, Molina made an extremely sharp save. During the save, he forcibly moved the ball to the side. The moment the ball hit his hand, Molina's head tilted back slightly, and with the help of
With this force, Rivaldo's long-range shot that was bound to go in was blocked from the bottom line!
"Well done! Jose!"
When Jose Molina fell to the ground, Dick jumped up from the visiting team's coaching bench, raised his arms and shouted!
Molina's save was indeed extremely exciting. The goalkeeper's body is a bit fat, which can be seen from his big face. However, like the famous Italian goalkeeper Peruzzi before him, he is slightly fat.
But their size cannot restrict them from making extremely exciting saves!
Molina got up from the ground, then patted the dust on his body, and then shouted loudly: "Pay attention to defense and guard this corner kick!"
Dick waved his fist. Such a wonderful save can undoubtedly boost morale. If the goalkeeper is in good condition and can make a wonderful save, then the defender will be bolder and more confident in defending!
Similarly, it also has a certain impact on Barcelona's morale. For the side that must win, the opponent's goalkeeper has shown such an outstanding state. This is indeed not good news for the attacking side!
What made things worse happened in the twenty-fifth minute.
Figo forcibly broke through Capdevila's defense from the right and passed in. The cross was cleared by Chamot. When Barcelona was about to attack again, they found their vice-captain falling to the ground.
After an examination, the team doctor gave an answer that left Van Gaal quite speechless.
"Thigh strain, preliminary estimate is to rest for two weeks."
There is still one and a half weeks until the Champions League semi-finals, which means Figo will miss the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. For Barcelona, although Rivaldo can score more goals, Figo is their
The most solid shoulder on the right, if he cannot play, there will be more trouble in breaking through Valencia's tight defense!
Van Gaal waved his hand in annoyance, and then sent Litmanen to replace Figo - what a bad luck. Since meeting Atletico Madrid, Barcelona's bad luck seems to have begun to increase!
To say that Barcelona's overall strength this season is indeed a bit poor, La Liga can report a list of 25 players before the game, but Van Gaal, who is very proud of himself, only reported 20 players, which makes him unable to quickly
If rotation is used well and more games are played, the possibility of injuries to the main players will be greater. For example, the previous loss to Chelsea in the Champions League had a lot to do with Guardiola's absence.
However, even so, the loss caused by Figo's absence is still irreparable. Van Gaal is now thinking about how to reduce the impact of Figo's absence in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals...
Yet the game continues.
After Figo was injured and came off the field, Barcelona's offense was inevitably affected. Although Litmanen is also an outstanding player, he cannot be compared with Figo, not to mention that he has never shown any performance after moving to Barcelona.
He showed his top form when he was at Ajax.
Atletico Madrid seized this opportunity to switch offense and defense very well.
In other words, Dick seized this opportunity.
When Figo was carried off the field on a stretcher, he immediately called Belleron on the sidelines, said a few words to him quickly, and then patted him on the field - at this time Van Gaal was asking the team doctor Phil
In Go's case, Mourinho did not notice this, but Mourinho did.
When Van Gaal returned to his position, Mourinho was about to say something when he saw Van Gaal rush out like a fire-breathing dragon and roared loudly at the visiting team's coaching bench: "
You bastard!"
Mourinho was stunned, then turned around and saw Dick standing next to the visiting team's coaching bench with an innocent look on his face, shrugging and frowning, as if to express his regret for Figo's injury: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.
Injuries on the court are normal..."
No wonder Van Gaal lost his cool and was so angry. He was originally upset about Figo's injury, but Dick was still so provocative...
After all, Mourinho pulled Van Gaal back to his position, and forgot to tell Van Gaal about Dick's instructions on the field just now. Looking at Van Gaal's face turned red, Mourinho
I shook my head silently in my heart - Dick is really quite capable. He can make old Jianghu Van Gaal so angry. It seems that sometimes this trick of irritating the opponent is still very useful...
Just when Mourinho was thinking this, he didn't know that he had made a mistake because he forgot to remind Van Gaal that Dick had just given instructions on the field, and there might be some conspiracy - soon, he
