The Era of Emerald

Two goals behind, the offense is weak, and the defense is full of loopholes... This situation has brought back the fear of being forgotten by many Barcelona players who experienced the disastrous defeat in the Champions League three years ago.

no!No matter what you say, you can't let this happen to Barcelona again!With this in mind, Guardiola began to plan to withdraw the formation a little bit, at least to compress the space in the backcourt, lest the backline of his side would always be successfully broken through again and again by that nasty Ronaldo.

However, not everyone in Barcelona agrees with Guardiola's thoughts. Several players in the frontcourt, such as Figo and Enrique, have not personally experienced that fiasco. They don't want to admit defeat. They are eager to get back The score is still constantly hitting Fiorentina's defense in the frontcourt.

As a result, something that Guardiola did not expect happened-the players in the frontcourt were immersing themselves in the attack, while the players in the midfield and the backcourt planned to shrink the defense. The disagreement between the two sides directly led to a serious disconnect in Barcelona's formation on the field. !

"There is nothing to watch in this game, and Barcelona's formation is completely out of touch." Seeing this situation, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but beam with joy, "If Van Gaal doesn't make adjustments as soon as possible, let the Barcelona players on the field If there is a consensus, unless there is God possessed, then Fiorentina will win the UEFA Super Cup as a certainty."

As the head coach who once led the Ajax youth team to the top of Europe, it is impossible for Van Gaal not to see the problems existing in the team. The Dutchman shouted loudly on the sidelines regardless of his image, asking everyone to continue to attack. Don't be shy about defending!

In Van Gaal's view, since the team is now behind, instead of shrinking the defense because of fear of losing the ball and losing the last chance of a comeback, it is better to press on the offense and fight for it. In a negative game, there is no difference in the outcome between losing one goal and losing ten goals.

Although Van Gaal's idea is very good, he ignored a very important point, that is, the mental state of the Barcelona players at this time.

When Ajax was coaching, the players under Van Gaal were either veterans with high professionalism like Rijkaard and Blind, or young people with insufficient reputation such as Kluivert and the De Boer brothers. Therefore, even if they don't understand the arrangement of head coach Van Gaal, they will obediently implement Van Gaal's tactical intentions; but in the eyes of Barcelona players, especially those former "Dream Team" members, Van Gaal is not enough. Their prestige can convince them to adjust their tactics in adversity.

Just imagine, how many players would agree that the coach seems to be acting as if the opponent scored two goals in two counterattacks, causing the team to fall behind [-]-[-] on the field, and the coach's prestige in the team is not enough. Dead tactical adjustment?

Anyway, those players on the defensive line will definitely not be happy with Van Gaal's adjustment.

For example, Nadal, who was embarrassed for most of the time under the pressure of Ronaldo and Vieri, was extremely dissatisfied with Van Gaal's demands at this time. If it wasn't for his quality as a professional player, he could control Control your emotions, and switch to those hot-tempered players, I'm afraid they would have scolded them on the court: still want to attack?Apart from attacking, what else do you not see how confused I have been by these two Fiorentina forwards?Can't you think of a way to strengthen the team's defense?

It's not just Nadal who thinks this way, Barjuan, Ferrer, Guardiola and others who have suffered from Florence's counterattack in this game also have the same opinion in their hearts.Having experienced the glory of Cruyff’s period, they were not interested in certain behaviors of van Gaal, an outsider. They thought that even the well-known old Robson would have a good relationship with us local players when coaching in Barcelona. Do you think Van Gaal is that onion?As soon as he took office, he brought in a bunch of his fellow villagers and former subordinates, and wanted to use them to replace us?Are you tired of living?

In this game, Van Gaal did not consider how to improve the defense when the score was behind, but blindly asked the players to press the offense, which caused greater dissatisfaction in their hearts. Many of them began to think that this was Van Gaal intends to use this game to allow his direct line troops to succeed smoothly, not to win this game.

Van Gaal's weakness in dealing with interpersonal relationships was fully exposed in this game. Due to his own stubbornness and lack of necessary communication and exchanges with the players, Van Gaal's iron-fisted team management methods have just begun in the team. It aroused the dissatisfaction of the veterans in the team.

Under the domination of this kind of dissatisfaction, it is naturally even more impossible for Nadal to obey Van Gaal's orders, but to play the game according to their own ideas.

Seeing that some Barcelona players did not follow the head coach's arrangement, but still insisted on playing football with their own ideas, resulting in a serious disjoint in the overall formation, the Fiorentina players couldn't help but overjoyed: This is not an obvious way for us to further expand the score chance? !

Take advantage of your illness to kill you, this is one of the points taught by the two coaches Capello and Ranieri to the Fiorentina players.

Faced with such a good opportunity, the Fiorentina will naturally not let it go easily, and immediately strengthened the pressure on Barcelona's offensive players. the pass.

No.70 In the second minute, Figo's dribbling on the right was intercepted by Davis and Carlos, and then Fiorentina launched a quick counterattack.Although the Barcelona players shrunk their defensive line to contain Ronaldo's speed, they lacked strength and faced the rampant Vieri but lost again.After pulling out of the penalty area, the new-generation Italian center turned and volleyed with his left foot after receiving a through ball from Redondo and scored, rewriting the score to [-]-[-]!

Facing a three-goal deficit, the Barcelona players had no choice but to attack aggressively, but after 10 minutes, Dainzaghi, who was replaced on the bench, made another sneak attack with a counterattack, and the score became a bloody [-]-[-] !

In the end, when the referee Merck blew the whistle to end the game, the score was fixed at four to one!When the game entered stoppage time, Rivaldo took advantage of a set kick in the front court to score a face-saving goal, a pretty beautiful free kick.

In this way, the Champions League winner Fiorentina beat the Cup Winners Barcelona champion Barcelona at the Louis II Stadium!Became the king of kings in European football for the third time in a row!
