On the morning of the El Clasico, at the regular pre-match tactical meeting, the first sentence of the chief assistant coach Tenkat explained his analysis and summary of Real Madrid to all the Barcelona players.
This is also his responsibility. Rijkaard is more in charge of the overall situation. In terms of tactics and locker room management, Tenkat is usually in charge.
The reputation among fans is very good, but Tenkat is average, even a little bad, because he is always too strict.
Su Dong is very grateful for the compulsory education he received, which allowed him to think and look at this problem dialectically. Therefore, he is one of the people in the locker room who respects Tenkat the most.
"Zidane, thirty-two years old; Figo, thirty-two years old; Carlos, thirty years old; Beckham and Helguera are about to be thirty years old, and although Ronaldo is only twenty-eight, he is
We all know that he usually doesn't run much, and Raul is younger, but he has been famous for many years and has become increasingly mediocre, especially in recent years."
Tenkat analyzed the current situation of Real Madrid's superstars and emphasized one point, that is, Real Madrid is old.
Really old!
"Do you know? The problems Real Madrid is facing now are actually not uncommon. Throughout the history of football, many successful old teams will encounter similar problems, that is, the players are old and no longer want to work so hard.
After running so much, they want to play football comfortably and enjoy the fun of football."
"But what I want to say is that professional football has never been fun. It is a competitive sport. A game is related to a championship, millions of euros, or even tens of millions of euros, and countless worlds.
The gains and losses of level 1 sponsors, do you think this is about enjoying fun?”
Tenkat's words hit the nail on the head and hit the point.
Real Madrid now does seem to be aging, which makes them lack vigor and unwillingness to train hard.
Precisely because of this, the conflict between Real Madrid's superstars and Camacho was so great that Camacho, the famous Real Madrid owner, took the initiative to resign.
"Real Madrid is old, so their speed and rhythm are too slow. Even in such a desperate national derby, it is difficult for these superstars to work up their spirits and invest more passion and enthusiasm.
With their fighting spirit, they began to enjoy comfort and the comfort of playing on the laurels of past glory."
"But we are different, we are still young, we have nothing, if we lose even the national derby, then we will have nothing, so we have no choice but to give it a try, and the biggest advantage is our youth.
With courage, determination, fighting spirit and passion, we must use fierce attacks to defeat our aging opponents!"
Su Dong was sitting among the players, and Tenkat's words really ignited the fire in his heart.
Compared with this group of superstars from Real Madrid, what does he have now?
Nothing, nothing worth mentioning!
But if we can beat Real Madrid, if we can ascend to the stage of the Gods in December, then it will be considered a real success!
Only at that moment can he be considered a true world-class superstar!
He thinks so, and I believe most of the Barcelona players think so too.
Looking around, Su Dong saw that his teammates were all fired up with passion.
Then, Tenkat began to explain the strategy Barcelona will adopt in this game.
To everyone's surprise, Rijkaard and Tenkat decided to adopt more radical tactics.
Full pressure!
"We must use continuous full-court pressure tactics and fast-paced offensives to completely suppress the aging Real Madrid so that they cannot raise their heads. From the first minute to the last minute, we will never stop or let up.
!”
"We want to show our talent, courage and determination to all the Barcelona fans at Camp Nou and sing a funeral song for the aging Galacticos!"
"We want to tell everyone that the era of Real Madrid is completely over!"
If Rijkaard has always maintained a gentle demeanor, then Tenkat has always been full of emotions.
Maybe he can be very harsh, maybe he is often unkind, but at critical moments, he is always full of passion and persistence!
…
After the tactical meeting, the Barcelona locker room generally responded positively to the tactics developed by the coaching staff.
Since this season, no, even since the winter break of last season, Rijkaard and Tenkat have officially figured out a style of play suitable for Barcelona, which is to use high pressure.
But this is still relatively rough, and many ideas are not perfect yet. This is why Deco and Xavi have become the players with the most successful steals this season, because Barcelona's defense is concentrated in this area.
Last season it was Davis plus Harvey, this season it is Deco plus Harvey.
Now, Rijkaard and Tenkat are no longer satisfied with this, especially in the past period, Barcelona suffered two consecutive losses and there was such an internal strife, which led to the coaching staff having to make adjustments and changes.
Especially to improve the team's defense.
Therefore, the plan given by the coaching staff was even more radical, that is, full-court pressure!
Barcelona is no stranger to this style of play, but it is the first time it is used in such an important game, and the risks are self-evident.
But Barcelona's biggest bargaining chip is that the players are young and have better running ability. This gives Barcelona enough confidence to adopt such a style of play. Even if it comes to the game and finds that this style does not work, it is not difficult to adjust it.
.
"I'm even more looking forward to tonight's game!" Ronaldinho smiled eagerly.
Su Dong also kept nodding.
So is he!
…………
…………
This night, the streets of Barcelona were empty!
One hundred thousand fans gathered at the Camp Nou Stadium, and the scene was buzzing and the noise was overwhelming!
Before the game even started, Tifos made by Barcelona fans appeared in the stands of Camp Nou. In one stand, fans put the Tifos in their hands into a huge picture of Su Dongpo, which was very visually impactful.
Live television also transmitted this scene to all parts of the world.
In China, the national television station also broadcast the focus game live on the sports channel, and arranged gold medal commentators and guests to explain the game.
"Viewers, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the National TV Sports Channel, the 2004-2005 season, the twelfth round of La Liga, Barcelona vs. Real Madrid at home in the match of the century!"
"This is known as the most luxurious El Clasico in history, with superstars gathering on both sides!"
"Su Dong, the 20-year-old center from China and the player who set the transfer fee record in the history of world football, will also wear Barcelona's No. 9 jersey tonight to play against Real Madrid!"
"To be able to see our Chinese players in this game at the pinnacle level of world professional football, I believe that all Chinese people are as excited as me at this moment."
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Director Zhang next to him took over.
"Yes, this is something to be very proud of!"
"Su Dong has performed very well in La Liga this season, which can be said to have surprised everyone. Many people thought he was a flash in the pan before, but he has scored 15 goals in 11 rounds this season and has five more goals.
In terms of assists, this report card is absolutely unprecedented, and it may even be unprecedented."
"We are also here to wish Su Dong and hope he can perform well tonight!"
"That's right, that's right." The commentator took over again, "Director Zhang, the peak showdown between the two giants is about to begin tonight. Who do you think you are more optimistic about?"
"It's hard to say." Director Zhang chuckled, "Barcelona has performed better this season, but there have been defensive problems in the last two games. Whether they can fill the holes in time is a test for Rijkaard; Real Madrid this season
His performance was not ideal, but after the coaching change, his results have gradually improved, especially in the last few rounds, where he has performed very well. In the last round, he beat Albacete 6-1. This will be a great success for Barcelona.
Big challenge.”
Just as he was talking, the live TV screen had already shown the lineups of the two teams.
"We can see that the visiting team Real Madrid adopts a 4-2-3 formation, which is their regular play style in recent times."
"The goalkeeper is Casillas, and the defense is Carlos, Samuel, Pavin and Salgado. Herguera is injured and cannot make it to this game."
"The double midfielder in the midfield is indeed the combination of Beckham and Guti. This double midfielder performed very well in the last round. The frontcourt is Zidane, Raul and Figo, and the lone forward is Ronaldo."
"Real Madrid's lineup is star-studded with stars, especially its attacking power, which is among the best in the world. This will be a big test for Barcelona's already weak defense."
"Barcelona still adopts the traditional four-three-three formation. The goalkeeper is Valdes, and the defense is Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Oleg and Belletti. Rijkaard obviously has no choice, because
There is really no one at center back, so we can only continue to trust Oleg."
"In the three midfielders, Marcos is deep behind, Deco and Xavi are in the middle. This is also the regular configuration this season. In the frontcourt, Ronaldinho and Iniesta are on the wings, and our Chinese player Su Dong is forward.
"
"This is a bit surprising. French winger Giuly has returned from injury, but Jaccard did not arrange for him in this game. Instead, he asked Iniesta to serve as the right winger. This is indeed a bit surprising.
"
"It is worth mentioning that the two right wingers, Giuly and Messi, are both substitutes, and Messi can also play as a left winger and attacking midfielder."
"Thank you, Director Zhang." The commentator took over, "I remember that some media said before that in the Barcelona team, Sudong has the best relationship with Iniesta and Messi, and the three are the strongest friends.
Iniesta and Messi were able to make their mark in the first team thanks to Su Dong's support and introduction."
"I guess Rijkaard used Iniesta in this game because he wanted to better utilize Sudong's role. After all, he is Barcelona's sharpest weapon this season!"
"Yes, there must be considerations in this regard." Director Zhang chuckled.
"Okay, the players from both teams have walked out of the tunnel, and the battle of the century is about to begin!"
