magic coach

Alkmaar fell into a two-line battle. In order to prepare for the Champions League, he was almost overturned by Ajax. Ajax is still a wealthy family. Although it is now in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Alkmaar played a little harder It's normal, but Barcelona is even more outrageous. They are still 1 points behind No.4 Deportivo de La Coruña. In order to prepare for the Champions League promotion, they were defeated by the underdog Oviedo 3:0. .

Rivaldo did not appear in this game. Barcelona said that it was hidden in order to prepare for the Champions League, but the media believed that this was the result of the intensification of the conflict between Rivaldo and Van Gaal. The conflict between Waldo and Van Gaal has intensified, and the conflict between the Dutch gang and the local gang has also become prominent. Fans booed the Dutch players in the stands and shouted for Van Gaal to leave class. If the next Champions League game, Van Gaal cannot come back If so, it is not impossible for Van Gaal, who has already won two La Liga titles, to dismiss get out of class.

But for Van Gaal, all this is worth it. Although the away game lost 1:4, it seems that the hope of promotion is very slim, but Van Gaal has won the La Liga championship for two consecutive years, so what if he wins again, Barcelona fans are very picky and ambitious. Winning the La Liga title cannot satisfy them. They need the Champions League. Van Gaal wants to make a breakthrough in Barcelona and reach the height of Cruyff. Winning the Champions League is also a must. task.

Before the game, Van Gaal, like the fans, players and opponent Alkmaar, expressed his determination to fight to the death, "There is little hope, we have lost too many away games, but we will never give up, and the three consecutive matches in the league Compared with the Champions League, we need the Champions League more. Our goal this season is to win the Champions League. Even now, our goal has not changed. The Nou Camp is the place where the decisive battle will be fought. We will fight for victory at all costs. Anything that may stop Barcelona Any obstacle to winning I'd throw it into the Atlantic without mercy."

The chairman of Barcelona also expressed support for Van Gaal, "Of course the league is also very important, but we have too few Champions League champions, only one, while Real Madrid has seven. We must pay attention to the Champions League and strive to narrow the gap between the two teams. .”

Barcelona is fighting hard, and the players have also expressed their determination to the fans and the media. Only Rivaldo expressed his dissatisfaction with being replaced after the 1:4 loss to Alkmaar in the away game, and then he has not made any remarks. Even Rivaldo's agent, Mingulia, miraculously kept silent, which amazed the media.

Some senior football commentators believe that this may be a compromise between Rivaldo and Van Gaal. Everyone put all their energy into the Champions League and settled the score after the game is over.

The day before the game, Van Gaal announced Barcelona's starting roster, and Rivaldo was impressively on the list. This also shows that the current enemy, Barcelona's internal conflicts have been put aside, and they are unanimously external.The purpose of Van Gaal's announcement of the starting lineup in advance is also to express his confidence in winning to Alkmaar.

Jiang Mu had already expected this. The importance of Rivaldo to Barcelona is by no means a player. Although Barcelona has many stars, Rivaldo is the world's footballer. Barcelona was in desperate need of goals in the game, and they scored a lot of goals. Van Gaal would never let him sit on the bench. Jiang Mu had already taken Rivaldo into consideration during training.

With Barcelona's current determination, even without Rivaldo, the fighting power is no small matter. Jiang Mu has made full preparations for this, and did not take it lightly because of the 4:1 victory in the first game.

It turned out that Jiang Mu would let the players relax during the war. This time when he came to Barcelona, ​​Jiang Mu didn't let the players go out alone. Except for shopping and sightseeing in groups, the players stayed in the hotel all the time.

Some players in the Netherlands advocate freedom and think that there is no need to be so strict with such a big victory in the first game. Not too much.

At this point in the game, the harvest is about to start. Who wants to leave? Under Jiang Mu's arrangement, the players obediently trained in a closed room, shielded from all outside interference, and fully prepared for this life-and-death battle at the Nou Camp.

The match between Barcelona and Alkmaar officially started on April [-], and at the same time, there were two other teams in the same half, Lazio and Valencia.

The European Dream Theater Nou Camp, which can accommodate 109815 spectators, was full of seats. Nearly 250 fans wearing red and blue jerseys turned the majestic stadium 220 meters long, 48 meters wide, and [-] meters high into a boiling ocean.

In La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid are mortal enemies. They compete in any place and in any aspect. Barcelona is not weaker than Real Madrid in every aspect, except for the Champions League. Although Barcelona fans disdain Real Madrid's first few "steals" Champions come, but they have to be ashamed of their number of Champions League. In order to surpass Real Madrid, the Champions League is almost a key factor in assessing the success of a coach. Cruyff is called the dream team. In fact, the number of La Liga is also That's four. If there is no Champions League, it's hard to say whether it can be called the Dream Team.Now Van Gaal not only wants to win the La Liga championship, but also the Champions League. After Van Gaal came to Barcelona to coach, he has been criticized and interfered by Cruyff and Cruyffists. It is certain that he wants to surpass Cruyff Yes, that's why Van Gaal will work hard in the Champions League even if he gives up the league.

Not only Van Gaal, but Barcelona fans also regard the Champions League as more important than the league. Of course, the premise is that Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Barcelona. Now Deportivo is ranked first, and Real Madrid is behind Barcelona. The team can play well in the Champions League and strive to reach the semi-finals.

"Barcelona must win! Barcelona must win!"

Before the game started, the players were still in the locker room, and the Barcelona fans in the stands continued to push the Nou Camp to the top with thunderous applause, shouts and songs.

When the players from Barcelona and Alkmaar came on the field, the commentator shouted out the names of the Barcelona players, followed by warm applause and shouts from Barcelona at the Camp Nou Stadium. There were nearly 10 people, which sounded like overwhelming , The Alkmaar players who are used to the small stadium of 8000 people in Dehout were stunned.

Even Jiang Mu was shocked by this atmosphere and momentum, because he was indeed too majestic and powerful. Playing in such an atmosphere, it would be strange if the Barcelona players did not go crazy. He began to worry about his own Will players be timid in such an environment?

However, the careful Jiang Mu heard boos vaguely when the commentator yelled the names of the Dutch players. It seems that the Barcelona fans' disgust towards the Dutch gang has not completely disappeared, but has been suppressed.

Because of the influence of the Bosman Act, the restrictions on foreign aid in La Liga were lifted. Van Gaal recruited Dutch players aggressively after taking over Barcelona with a high profile. As many as set a historical record.

Most of these Dutch talents came from Ajax, and it was the old team led by Van Gaal that won the European Champions Cup in 1995. They were once dubbed Barcelona Jax by the Spanish media.However, there is a reason why Barcelona fans don’t like the Dutch gang. The players Van Gaal bought performed mediocrely. Overmars, who cost $3500 million, was criticized as a “terrible and bad investment” and the high annual salary was also criticized. Sitting on the bench and counting money to play."Zenden, who is worth 1200 million, can only sit on the bench. The tall right back Bogarde is a model of high salary and low energy. He only played some insignificant games in Barcelona for three years, and spent most of the time with a lot of money. Income, holding a sick note, chewing gum in the stands.Only Kluivert, Retzig and De Boer are worth the money.

In this battle of life and death, Van Gaal obviously believed in his old team more. The Dutch players in the starting lineup were Hesp, Reziger, Frank De Boer, Cocu, Kluivert and Zenden.Compared with the previous game, there are two more players, Hesper and Zenden.

Goalkeeper Hesp and two full-backs Bogard and Reziger were the first three Dutchmen to join.As Subizarreta's successor, the Dutch national team has performed quite well and has always been in the lead in the competition with Baia. However, Hesp also made a few low-level mistakes this season and began to rotate with Baia. The last game Baia Conceded four goals. In this game, Van Gaal decided to use Hesper to guard the goal and put Baier on the bench.

Barcelona's formation in this game is still 433, but compared with the previous game, there have been some changes in the lineup, except that the goalkeeper has been replaced by Hesper, and the back line is still Rezig Frank De Boer Abelardo Sergi, the midfielder made some adjustments, Cocu and Guardiola remained unchanged, Rivaldo returned to the position of the midfielder, among the three forwards, Zenden replaced Rivaldo, and Figo Playing left and right wingers, the center is still Kluivert.

The Spanish commentator believes that this change in Barcelona is the result of a compromise, because Rivaldo wants to play in the middle, but it is impossible for Kluivert to replace him, so he has to let Rivaldo play the midfielder. Gal loves the character of a winger, but he can maximize Rivaldo's offensive power, and can also give Zenden, who is fast and a judo-trained, a chance.In order to attack, Van Gaal has used all his attacking assets.

Alkmaar's lineup in this game has changed a lot from the previous one. The formation has become a stable 442. Goalkeeper Cesar, left back Riise, center back Lucio and Ismail, right back Kronkamp , the three midfielders became the double midfielders of Gattuso and Van Bommel, Ronaldinho and Didier played in the midfield, Klose and Thomason, who performed well in these games, partnered, Drogba Sitting on the bench, Robben, known as the successor of Overmars, is also on the 18-man squad.

After the two sides exchanged team flags and badges, they each returned to their own half, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game. The noise and commotion in the stadium gradually subsided.
