When Su Dong recommended players to Mendes, he never imagined that things would develop to such a bad point.
After reversing Deportivo La Coruña, Barcelona ushered in a Copa del Rey game in midweek, playing away against Levante.
This is actually not a big deal. Barcelona had basically given up on this event as early as the last round.
Rijkaard still arranged for a full substitute and rotating lineup of players to play, including Messi and Iniesta, and many young players, not only for training, but also to give the main players more time to rest.
As a result, Barcelona lost 0-1 in the away game this time and were eliminated from the Copa del Rey.
Logically speaking, this result is not surprising. It can be seen from Barcelona's formation that Rijkaard has no intention of spending more time on this event because Barcelona's lineup is too thin.
, cannot support a three-front battle at all.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to simply sacrifice the King's Cup.
But no one expected that Vice Chairman Russell, who traveled with the team to the away game, expressed regret for the team's elimination in an interview with World Sports News. He did not think that the team's lineup was too thin.
"Even for a rotating team like Real Madrid or Valencia last season, the number of commonly used players in the first team is basically around 22, which is similar to our current first team lineup."
Russell believes that the main reason why the team cannot fight on multiple fronts is the rotation mechanism of the head coach.
In this interview, Russell also mentioned the Brazilian head coach Scolari, thinking that this is a head coach whose genes are very suitable for Barcelona. He firmly believes that Scolari will one day coach Barcelona and achieve impressive results.
Achievements to look forward to.
…
Su Dong also saw Russell's interview. His first reaction was, was Russell trying to use the topic?
But I didn't think it was a big deal.
You know, Russell almost fired Rijkaard before. The situation was so difficult at that time, didn't Black Swan endure it?
But no one expected that early the next morning, the entire Spanish football world would explode.
An unknown media from the Netherlands interviewed Barcelona's chief assistant coach Tenkat. During the interview, this hot-tempered Barcelona assistant coach directly criticized Rosell without any concealment.
"Whenever Barcelona's performance is not good, he will jump out and tell the newspaper that Scolari is the most suitable coach for Barcelona."
"This guy is always ready to roll out the red carpet for Scolari. Why am I so sure? Because we all know that he and Scolari are very good friends!"
Tencart also revealed a tacit understanding between Russell and Mundo Deportivo, which is that every time Barcelona loses, Mundo Deportivo will publish an article saying that Russell wants to fire Rijkaard, and the article will definitely say
Mentioned Scolari.
Not only that, Tenkat was also dissatisfied with some of Russell's actions, believing that Davis originally wanted to stay in Barcelona, but because someone in the management wanted to eliminate the so-called Dutch gang, he refused to talk to Davis.
negotiation.
"In fact, as the vice president in charge of transfer and sports affairs, many of Rosell's decisions were outrageously wrong."
"For example, this summer, he was resolutely unwilling to introduce Su Dong, thinking that Su Dong was exaggerated and was just a bubble promoted by Valencia. It was Laporta, Cruyff and Rijkaard who all agreed that Su Dong should be signed.
Su Dong."
"Now, we have also seen that so far this season, Su Dong has scored fifteen league goals. What an amazing number this is. Who dares to question Su Dong's strength?"
…
Tenkat's original intention was to use Su Dong's case to accuse Russell.
But who would have thought that when it came to the media, the situation would completely change.
For a time, there was a lot of noise about the conflict between Su Dong and Russell. Some people even thought that Su Dong and Russell had reached the point where they were fighting to the death, and one of them had to leave.
Daily Sports reacted immediately, accusing Tenkat of being a "madman" and thinking that he had attacked the whole world.
This caused an uproar within the club, and Rijkaard was so angry that he almost smashed the dressing room door.
At the critical moment, Laporta and Rosell both came to Sports City and personally stepped in to stabilize Rijkaard and Tenkat.
For Rijkaard, the Barcelona management gave comfort, and Laporta personally promised that the club would do its best to support him, especially in the introduction of deep-lying midfielders.
As for Tenkat, the club imposed internal punishment because he should not have criticized the club's senior management in front of the media.
Today's Rijkaard is no longer the black swan he was at the same time last season. Now he is the head coach who has created the best winning streak in Barcelona's history, and his voice is no longer what it was last year.
This is probably why Rijkaard and Tenkat have endured it for more than a year and now they can't bear it anymore.
They are declaring their influence to Rosell and warning Barcelona Vice Chairman to be careful with what they say in the future!
After appeasing the coaching staff, the management held a meeting with the players.
Russell also went out of his way to win over Su Dong and talked a lot, and also asked the team's reporters to take some photos. The general idea was to reflect a sense of internal harmony, no contradictions, and a happy atmosphere.
When speaking to the players, Russell described the relationship between players, coaches, and even senior executives and the club as being like a marriage. Even if they love each other desperately before marriage, no one can guarantee that the relationship will not change after marriage.
"I believe that although there will inevitably be some disappointments, the relationship is generally good."
Laporta also called on the players to continue to stay united.
The decisive battle of the El Clasico is approaching. At this time, Barcelona's military morale must not be disturbed.
He even described the storm as a malicious hype by someone who wanted to disrupt Barcelona's military morale before the war.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As the saying goes, flies do not bite seamless eggs. There are indeed conflicts within Barcelona, which gives the outside world an opportunity to take advantage of it.
For example, in terms of signings, Russell's plan was Arsenal's Brazilian midfielder Edu, but Laporta was not happy. He did not want to continue to introduce Brazilian players, and Barcelona could not afford such a big deal.
A transfer fee to bring in Edu.

With the people inside Barcelona unstable, the eleventh round of La Liga ushered in at the weekend, Barcelona challenged Real Betis away from home.
As a result, Barcelona, which was in a state of unrest, encountered a sniper attack from Real Betis in the away game and lost 1 to 2 in the away game.
The two superstars Su Dong and Ronaldinho played the whole game, but they could not save the team.
This is also the only game in which Su Dong has played but failed to help the team score so far this season.
Barcelona's La Liga winning streak also stopped at ten consecutive wins.
On the other hand, archrival Real Madrid welcomed Albacete at home in this game.
With Ronaldo's two goals and goals from Zidane, Raul, Samuel and Owen, the Galacticos slaughtered Albacete 6-1 at home and won the most exciting game so far this season.
A victory.
This immediately caused media outlets close to Real Madrid such as Aspen and Marca, which had been suppressed for a long time, to go into a carnival.
The El Clasico is about to take place. At this critical moment, Barcelona suffered two consecutive defeats and even suffered serious internal strife among the top management. However, Real Madrid is gradually regaining its form and reviving the team's morale with a wonderful victory.
.
This round of the game is also regarded as the beginning of Real Madrid's great counterattack.
…
After the eleventh round of La Liga, there were no games in La Liga in midweek.
On the contrary, the international players from each country have to report to the national team to participate in a World Cup qualifying match midweek.
The South American internationals have to travel to South America to compete, and the Brazilian internationals have to go to Ecuador to participate in the away focus game. This makes the Brazilian internationals travel back and forth, especially when they have to change flights continuously.
Cruyff's previous complaint about too many Brazilian players in the team was once again confirmed at this moment.
In order to better prepare for the El Clasico and shorten the journey of the Brazilian internationals in the team, Barcelona and Real Madrid cooperated. The two parties jointly arranged a helicopter to wait in Ecuador. As soon as the game was over, the players from the two teams were immediately picked up and transported to the nearest airport.
Fly directly back to Europe and then transfer to Barcelona.
Even so, the players still have to be delayed for nearly two days on the road.
In other words, the Brazilian international basically flies from Europe to South America, transfers to Ecuador, plays the game in the next game, flies back to Europe from Ecuador, and starts the El Clasico directly at the end of the game.
Unlike the Brazilian national team coach Pereira who insists that the international players return to their home countries to compete, the Spanish national team coach Aragones appears to be more humane. He said that he can understand the mentality of the international players of the two giants to save their strength for the El Clasico.
This actually has something to do with the relatively relaxed competition situation in Spain. After all, there is no performance pressure, and Aragones is happy to support him and increase the favorability of the players.
…
After the eleventh round, all major media and television stations in Spain have been warming up for the El Clasico.
Even around the world, El Clasico has attracted strong attention, with various players emerging in an endless stream, and all fans looking forward to it.
Both teams have a large number of superstars and have an influence around the world that other teams cannot match. This makes the national derby between the two giants attract the attention of the world.
Some media even believe that in the national derby, facing Real Madrid, which has many world footballers and European Ballon d'Or awards, Sudong and Ronaldinho will be the last to compete for the two highest honors in December. At the same time,
It is also the most important test.
"Only when the two of them are in better and more outstanding form in the national derby, facing the test of Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo and other former Golden Balls and World Football Players, can they win convincingly.
To those two awards!”
"Losing the national derby, even if you win two awards in the end, will be stained with a dark shadow!"
