After the game restarted, Atletico Madrid changed its previous defensive approach and began to launch a massive attack!
Under Belleron's organization, Juninho's breakthrough brought a great threat, while Hasselbaink, who ran around in the frontcourt to support him, brought a greater deterrent. Originally,
The Barcelona players were a little distracted because of Figo's injury. Unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid took advantage of the situation and attacked like this, and were immediately suppressed by the Atletico Madrid players!
At this time, Mourinho remembered what he had just seen. He immediately said to Van Gaal: "Oops, I just saw Dick pulling Belleron and saying something. He probably wanted to seize this opportunity to start a fight."
Counterattack..."
"You didn't tell me earlier!" Van Gaal was so angry that he had nothing to say. He immediately ran out of his coaching position again, and then shouted to the court: "Defend! Strengthen defense! Fight!"
Let them attack during this period!"
Mourinho looked at Van Gaal's back with a wry smile: "I originally wanted to say something, but you rushed out at that time..."
He rarely sees Van Gaal so angry. Although he is headstrong and has a bad temper, he is still calm most of the time, but a series of recent events have made him become irritable. - Catalan
They think he is dissatisfied with him because he reuses Dutch players but not local players. Rivaldo and Figo are dissatisfied because their salary is less than that of substitute Litmanen. Dani is dissatisfied because he does not get many opportunities. These internal dissatisfactions, plus three
There were some setbacks on the front line at the same time, Dick's provocation, the unfavorable situation of the game... these things combined, finally made the famous Dutch coach unable to hold on!
"The head coach can also use some other factors to obtain benefits on the court." Mourinho had some understanding at this time, looking at Dick, who was also standing on the sidelines observing the situation on the court, in his eyes,
There have also been some changes.
Dick is more than ten years younger than him, almost twenty years old, but he has already understood this truth on his own. Judging from his command in these games, it is not only his ability to command the game on the field, but also his ability to command outside the game.
He also used quite a lot of methods that were said to be evil, but these methods were also quite useful!
When Van Gaal yelled for defense, Barcelona's players had actually started to defend. However, after all, they were not good at defense, and they were not very prepared for Atletico Madrid's sudden counterattack, so they were suddenly beaten by Atletico Madrid.
The impact caused the defense line to teeter on the verge of collapse.
Juninho broke through Guardiola's defense with the ball. When Cocu came over to cover, he passed the ball directly to Hasselbaink at the edge of the penalty area. The Dutch shooter was about to turn around and shoot. Abelardo
Having already pounced on him, he immediately dunked the ball back and then raised his foot to pass the ball back!
Baraja, who was inserted in the back row, raised his foot to meet the ball and fired a powerful long-range shot!
Hesp struggled to save the ball from the bottom line and took a corner kick.
"Defend this corner kick!" Van Gaal shouted loudly into the field. Atletico Madrid could not always suppress Barcelona's offense. As long as it resisted this corner kick, the rhythm of the game would return to Barcelona's control.
Solari stood in front of the ball, and while Dick was waving his arms desperately off the court, Gamarra and Chamot rushed forward. There were six Atletico Madrid players inside and outside Barcelona's penalty area.
Of the players, only Capdevila, Aguilera, and Serena stayed in the backcourt, while the others were looking for opportunities in the penalty area.
Having so many players come up at once shows that Atletico Madrid wants to take advantage of this opportunity and must score a goal. No wonder Van Gaal is nervous.
After Solari kicked the ball out, a nervous Van Gaal saw his main centre-back, Spanish international Abelardo... slipping again!
Solari's corner kick went straight to the front of the penalty area. Hasselbaink began to run from the center to the front to prepare for the response. Abelardo, who was marking him, naturally followed him, but after running two steps
After that, Abelardo suddenly slipped. Although he barely controlled his center of gravity and did not fall to the ground, he was too late to jump to block Hasselbaink's header...
"Abelardo's foot slipped and he couldn't take off! What was he thinking!" the commentator of the Catalan regional TV station shouted in surprise as if he had seen the end of the world.
When he exclaimed, countless Barcelona fans also exclaimed!
Amidst the exclamations of the entire Camp Nou, Hasselbaink, who rushed to the front and was unguarded, jumped up high, faced the falling ball, concentrated his energy in front of his waist and abdomen, and then quickly threw it away
Attack the goal with your head!
The ball flew quickly into the Barcelona gate! Hesip just waved his hand symbolically and watched the header that was so close at hand flew into the gate he was guarding...
Atletico Madrid once again took the lead through a set kick! Leading Barcelona 1-0 in the away game!
More than a thousand Atletico Madrid fans at the scene burst into huge cheers. If they can win this game, then they have no doubt that Atletico Madrid can successfully avoid relegation!
And Van Gaal's face was extremely ugly at this time. The Barcelona players also looked at the Atletico Madrid players who were running and celebrating with unwilling and confused eyes. Their progress this season has been very smooth. In the league
Although their performance was not as good as in the previous two seasons, they often failed because they focused on the Champions League. However, when facing Atletico Madrid, they failed one after another...
To be precise, when facing Atletico Madrid led by Dick, they have been failing, and their luck has begun to turn bad!
At this time, the media's previous criticism of Dick had the opposite effect, because in order to show that Dick was a guy who knew nothing, they described Dick's acceptance after winning the Big Fat Man lottery and receiving a bonus of 100,000 US dollars.
During the interview, the footage of him saying: "I have been very lucky this year" was played repeatedly to prove that Dick is just a person who relies on luck...
But under the current situation, even those who do not believe in evil are beginning to wonder, is Dick's luck just that good? In this case, facing such a lucky guy, do we still have a chance to win?
Some of the things Dick let others know made people think that he was really lucky - basically no one in football has ever won the Big Fat Man Lottery jackpot, and he won it; it took just a few days to win it.
The whole team's heart then won two games, but it was full of luck to score two goals against Malaga. It scored two goals against Valencia in two counterattacks. Against Barcelona, Aguilera and Mo
Lina broke out one after another, and Abelardo made inexplicable slipping mistakes in two games... Added up to this series of things, they have to believe it even if they don't believe it!
"What on earth is Abelardo doing? If he slipped in the last game, it could be said that he is not familiar with the Calderon Stadium or that Atletico Madrid did something on the court, but this game is our home court! He is at
I've played on this court over a hundred times and still managed to slip! It's unbelievable..."
The commentator in Catalonia was angrily criticizing Abelardo. Fortunately, Abelardo was Spanish. If he had been Dutch, he would have been even more criticized as worthless...
After the celebration, Dick waved his hand and signaled the players to continue to follow the tactics just now - the pressing attack just now was originally Dick's impromptu idea. His original intention in this game was to strive for three points and secure one point.
Are you ahead now? Just continue to defend and then wait for opportunities to counterattack...
In the next games, Barcelona will have a very difficult time. These two games against Atletico Madrid are like nightmares. Anyway, what you want to do will always be hindered. It is so difficult to score a goal. The opponent
But he always seems to be able to seize some opportunities that are not opportunities. If played like this, no matter how tenacious a player is, his psychology will be seriously affected.
At the end of the first half, Barcelona failed to seize the opportunity to equalize the score. Instead, Atletico Madrid counterattacked several times and almost lost the ball again.
Even if they didn't concede a goal, Barcelona's morale was about to hit rock bottom at this time.
For this nightmare game, they no longer want to play any more - Atletico Madrid looked so tenacious in defense, and the physical confrontation was also very fierce. They received two yellow cards in the first half, and then defeated the Philippines
Ge Nang is off the field...
The Champions League semi-finals will be in a few days, and they attach great importance to the Champions League. They are not willing to get injured in such a game and miss the Champions League semi-finals or even the final!
Van Gaal also has such scruples.
He made such a mistake in the last game. He could have continued to let Rivaldo and Figo rest, but because of a moment of anger, he sent these two main players who were almost full-time to play half the game. Figo's game
The injuries in the game may have something to do with the Atletico Madrid players who fought very hard in the last game. Players who are not in good physical condition are more likely to be injured.
So in the locker room, Van Gaal also had some difficulties. With his character, he definitely wanted to find a place to come back, and this loss would also have a great impact on the league championship. However, Van Gaal now has almost all his energy
They are all in the Champions League. They have already lost one Figo. Who else will they lose if they win this game? A Abelardo who is about to collapse mentally due to continuous mistakes? Or an injured Rivaldo?
Atletico Madrid has no other burdens anyway, they just fight one game at a time, and Barcelona still has to play in the Champions League. He longs for the Champions League. Only by winning the Champions League will his status be more stable.
His doubts will become less!
In fact, historically Barcelona has had nothing to win this season, and there is a big problem with Van Gaal's worry about gains and losses. On the one hand, there are internal problems, and on the other hand, he must win two league titles and two Copa del Rey titles.
I made a breakthrough in the Champions League, so I tried to pick the watermelon and throw away the sesame seeds. In the end, I couldn't pick up the watermelon, and I couldn't pick up the sesame seeds either.
In such a conflicting mentality, the precious halftime passed like this. Van Gaal could only tell the players to try their best in the second half and protect themselves...
There is a joke that goes like this: The head coach said to the players: "Today's game is very important. You must play well and win the game!" Then the players said to the head coach: "Please speak clearly -
Either play well or win the game!"
This is what Barcelona is like now. If they want to win this game, they have to fight hard, otherwise they will not be able to break through the door of Atletico Madrid, which is unable to escape. And if they fight hard, they will not be able to protect themselves...
So in the second half of the game, Barcelona's offense was even worse than in the first half.
