This is not the first time this season that Barcelona has conceded two goals, nor is it the first time that it has been frozen by the opponent's iron wall and has nothing to do, but that was all in other games in the league or the Champions League.
But at this moment, Barcelona is in the Champions League final!
Conceding two goals in the first three minutes was definitely the most painful blow to Barcelona.
The team's morale has obviously been messed up.
This shows on the pitch.
From the moment they conceded the second goal, Barcelona's players began to panic.
They were very scared because before the game, both Cruyff and Begiristain were instilling a bottom line into the players, that is, they must not concede the third goal under any circumstances.
Lost the third ball, even the gods can't save it!
This is also normal, because in the history of the Champions League finals, and even in the history of the Champions League, there has really never been a team that could come back from being three goals behind. That would be a great miracle!
But since it is a miracle, it cannot be created by human beings.
In fact, even God is not sure!
As a result, the Barcelona players on the court began to panic and began to worry about gains and losses. They not only wanted to stabilize the defense, but also wanted to win a goal as soon as possible, but the weak defense line continued to have problems.
The result is like this.
The game lasted for more than 20 minutes, and Barcelona's frontcourt offense was unable to pose a threat. Sudong was like a decoration in front. Stam and Nesta were not far away from him, and it was difficult for his teammates to deliver the ball.
With his feet, Barcelona's most threatening attack point was completely disarmed.
On the other hand, AC Milan adopts a very pragmatic tactic, which is to defend.
After stealing the ball, he quickly counterattacked.
How similar is the starting point of this style of play to the tactical concept used by Capello's AC Milan to restrain Cruyff's Dream Team?
No wonder before the game, Ancelotti vowed that he would recreate the classic of the year in this game.
Four to zero?
From scoring two goals in the first three minutes to Barcelona's current embarrassing situation, who dares to say that this is not possible?
Now, Barcelona's only belief is to hold on to the third goal.
As long as you hold on, there is still a chance for everything!
…
Just when Rijkaard thought the team could be temporarily stable, the Barcelona midfielder pressed too high.
Deco tried to break through with the ball, but Gattuso successfully intercepted the ball.
Seedorf quickly passed the ball to Kaká.
The Brazilian youngster started as quickly as possible. After catching up with Seedorf's pass, he dribbled the ball across the center line.
At this time, Barcelona's deep position was seriously out of position. Marcos failed to catch Kaká immediately, allowing the Brazilian teenager to drive straight in with the ball and rush into Barcelona's 30-meter area.
When Kaka rushed to the front of the penalty area, the two forwards Shevchenko and Crespo very smartly pulled to the two sidelines, waiting for the pass from Kaka.
Although Marcos decisively fell to the ground and tackled at the front of the penalty area in an attempt to disrupt Kaka's dribbling, the Brazilian player took the lead and passed the ball straight behind him and passed it to Shevchenko on the left side of the penalty area.
The Ukrainian forward crossed behind the defense line, caught up with Kaka's pass from the outside of the left corner of the small penalty area, and pushed the ball directly without stopping.
Valdes made a flying save, but still couldn't stop the ball from rolling into the right side of the goal.
"Three to zero!"
"Oh my God, the game only lasted twenty-eight minutes. This is unbelievable!"
"AC Milan wins again, 3-0!"
"There is no suspense in the game. With a three-goal lead, AC Milan showed amazing momentum from the start. Almost every counterattack they made made Barcelona unable to parry."
"What a surprise!"
"Before the game, everyone thought that this would be a battle between dragons and tigers, a peak showdown, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a one-sided massacre. Barcelona's offense could not penetrate AC Milan's defense, and their fragile
The defense could not stop the Rossoneri's sharp counterattacks time and time again."
"Three to zero!"
"AC Milan already sees the championship trophy waving in front of them!"
…………
…………
In the stands, the moment they saw Shevchenko's push shot, Cruyff and Begiristain both seemed to be electrocuted and jumped up from their seats in unison.
Immediately afterwards, they all sat back down with great disappointment.
The third ball finally failed to be defended!
"What on earth is going on?" Laporta couldn't believe his eyes.
Barcelona's defense has problems, but how could it be beaten like this?
With Barcelona's performance tonight, anyone would suspect that Barcelona must have taken money from AC Milan and deliberately played match-fixing.
Otherwise, how to explain Barcelona conceding goals again and again?
Who can accept such a disastrous defeat?
"Do you really want to lose another 0-4 game?" Laporta raised his voice.
Cruyff let out a long sigh, "The three goals conceded are all defensive problems and our own problems."
"But it's not so outrageous in normal times. Even when we conceded three goals against Bayern Munich and Chelsea, it wasn't like this, especially in the first three minutes." Laporta still didn't want to believe it.
Technical Director Begiristain shook his head and sighed, "The mountain of pressure also has a huge distortion on the players' psychology, especially when the trend of the game is completely overturned by the opponent, their pressure is countless times greater than usual, and their psychological quality is slightly
The weaker ones will basically collapse."
"That's right." Cruyff nodded, "It's like you are 200% prepared for the most important test in your life. You think you can get a high score, but when you
When you walk into the examination room and the examiner hands the test paper to you, you suddenly realize that you can’t do any of the questions.”
"It's a kind of crushing despair!" Cruyff also felt the same, because he had experienced it all. "What's even more painful is that you can't hand in the paper in advance, you have to pretend to be yourself."
You know how to do it, and you have to accompany them to finish the exam when you see other people’s answers flying around, how hopeless it feels!”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Laporta is a lawyer. He has experienced the most brutal examinations and elimination rates, so he can understand the meaning of Cruyff’s words and also has a deep understanding of the stadium.
The Barcelona players on the show felt the same way.
"Every Italian head coach is a master of tactics. The same was true for Capello when he was just starting out at the beginning of the year. The same is true for Ancelotti tonight. In fact, he should have already known how to do this as early as the Gamper Cup before the season.
It’s a match against Barcelona.”
It was at this moment that everyone suddenly recalled what Ancelotti said in an interview with the media after the Gamper Cup game last August: If he was given another chance, he would never lose to Barcelona.
At that time, everyone thought that he was just unwilling to lose and deliberately said some words to prop up the situation, but now it seems that he really took everything to death at that time.
"What to do now?" Laporta was a little exhausted.
He was very scared.
Now, his only wish is no longer to win the Champions League, but not to concede any more goals.
Even if we lose 3-0, it will still be a little better than that disastrous defeat back then.
If you can score a goal and save face, that would be even more ideal.
Cruyff and Begiristain also shook their heads helplessly.
Eleven years ago, they could not come up with any effective solution to this situation, and the same is true now.
Because he has no choice at all!
Rijkaard was beaten to death by his opponents in terms of tactics before the game. He conceded two goals in two set-piece defenses. This made Barcelona's defenders defend cautiously for fear of giving their opponents another set-piece.
AC Milan has the strongest defense and sharpest counterattack in Europe.
What can Barcelona do in the face of such an opponent?
"If you lose the third goal, even God will be unable to save it!" Begiristan shook his head helplessly.
…
Inside the stadium, the game continues.
When the game reached the final stage of the first half, Harvey tried to pass a pass forward and sent it to Su Dong in the frontcourt, but was intercepted.
Pirlo quickly passed the ball straight to Kaká.
The Brazilian player made a beautiful stop and turned around. After getting rid of Marcos, he took two steps forward and quickly sent a long pass.
The ball was accurately passed behind the Barcelona defense and passed by Oleg.
When the Barcelona defender turned around and tried to chase back, he tried to make a sliding tackle, but did not touch the ball.
Crespo cleverly ran out of the gap, faced the attacking goalkeeper Valdes, and made a beautiful push shot, sending the ball into the Barcelona goal again.
Four to zero!
"The victory or defeat is decided!"
"AC Milan has completely killed the game in the first half!"
"We can't believe that Barcelona was so defeated in this game and conceded four goals in a row."
"This reminds us of the final eleven years ago. Cruyff's dream team was the favorite before the game, but in the final, they were defeated by Capello's Rossoneri four to zero.
That was a classic battle in the history of the Champions League final."
"Now, after eleven years, the two teams met again in the Champions League final. Ancelotti once again bloodbathed Barcelona with a score of 4-0, recreating the classic of that year."
"In fact, if the Barcelona midfielder does not make timely adjustments, I believe it is entirely possible to lose by a bigger score in the second half."
…
Rijkaard raised his hands in despair, his expression seemed to be about to cry, and his whole person looked like he was surrendering.
The Barcelona players on the court also completely lost their fighting spirit, and everyone was like a zombie.
No one expected that the game would eventually evolve into what it is now.
They originally thought they could win, but in the end, not only did they lose, but they lost so cowardly and embarrassingly!
This battle completely shattered the confidence of everyone in Barcelona.
Rijkaard was even mentally prepared to resign as soon as the game was over!
In the stands, Laporta also had the urge to leave the game early because he did not want to experience that humiliating defeat.
Begiristan's face was also extremely ugly, and his whole person was extremely desperate.
"Now, even God can't save me!" Cruyff sighed helplessly.
The Godfather of Barcelona seems to have aged more than ten years.
It's hard to save the immortal, but after all, there is still a glimmer of hope.
But now, not even gods can save him!
The entire stadium is half sea water and half fire.
AC Milan celebrated wildly, while Barcelona was wailing.
No one noticed that Su Dong, who was waiting silently in the center circle to serve, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
