"Tony, what do you think is the probability of us winning this game?" Just as the players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel and began to pose on the court under the leadership of their respective captains, the VIP box at the Frankie Stadium , Karin asked.

"If the team can perform normally, it shouldn't be a problem to win the current Barcelona team." Zhuang Minge thought for a while, then answered, "I don't know if Karin has found out, although Barcelona's record this season is still very good." Excellent, but the contradictions in their team have been gradually revealed."

Hearing Zhuang Mingge's analysis of the problems in Barcelona, ​​Karin immediately put on a look of interest, and began to be a qualified listener seriously.After all, Zhuang Mingge was the most serious whenever he talked about football-related topics.

There is a good saying that a man is most attractive when he is serious, and Karin deeply agrees with this.

"The first is Rivaldo's own problem. After becoming Mr. Double, the Brazilian's mentality has changed. He is no longer able to fully obey Van Gaal's tactical arrangements as a left winger as before, but requires more. Great offensive freedom, such as moving to the center to replace Luis Enrique, who has had more injuries this season and has begun to decline. And his request is precisely what Van Gaal, who likes to control everything in his own hands, cannot Allowed."

Karin nodded clearly. She had also heard a little about Van Gaal's coaching style. The Dutch coach's team management policy is comparable to that of Manchester United's Ferguson and the former Sacchi. The iron-blooded coach with a second voice appeared inside.An approach like Van Gaal's will generally end up in two ways: at best, people will praise him for choosing the good and being stubborn, but at worst, he is self-righteous and self-righteous!

Rivaldo's request is actually not too much. In terms of his current ability, it is too condescending to restrict this talented Brazilian to the narrow left wing.If Van Gaal would pay more attention to the communication of individual players, or find a way to take advantage of Rivaldo and Enrique's characteristics of large range of activities and wide attack range, and integrate them organically, then Nor would he and Rivaldo have a complete stalemate, making them look like life and death enemies.

"And the other problem is Van Gaal himself. It is true that the Dutchman has a strong coaching ability. However, he really likes to bring in those direct descendants and his Ajax coaches. Those Dutch fellows." At this point, Zhuang Mingo paused, and then continued to comment on Van Gaal, "If these players that Van Gaal decides to introduce can effectively improve the strength of the team, then other players and Barcelona fans are not good. What can I say about it. But looking at the people that Van Gaal has bought over the years, only Kluivert, Cocu and Frank de Boer are worth the money. Hesper is not much better than Bayer in terms of ability , Ronald De Boer, Zenden, Bogard and Litmanen, these substitutes receive a higher salary than the main players but do not play much role at all, can this not make people gossip?"

"It's true that Coach Van Gaal has gone too far on this point." Karin nodded and agreed, "Especially that Litmanen, although he is indeed a good player, he has never played in the fourth quarter." He signed a $500 million deal after playing in the big leagues! That's crazy!"

Due to Van Gaal's excessive preference for direct descendants, Barcelona has now faintly shown signs of civil strife.Barcelona fans were dissatisfied with Van Gaal's reuse of the Dutch gang and neglected the local players produced by La Masia's youth academy; while in the team, Rivaldo and Figo were also dissatisfied with Van Gaal's preference for his old team in Ajax— —You must know that the two of them, as the absolute main force for Barcelona to win two consecutive league championships, still only have an annual salary of 300 million US dollars!

The salary of a rookie substitute is higher than that of the main players. If there is no chaos in Barcelona, ​​it will be hell.

"I really don't know what the higher-ups of Barcelona think. They gave Litmanen such a high salary and let him play as a substitute..." Karin sighed, she also felt that Barcelona's strange move feeling powerless,"

Just when Karin was puzzled by the thoughts of the Barcelona executives, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. The second round of the Champions Cup between Fiorentina and Barcelona officially began now!

The process of the game was almost the same as Zhuang Minge expected. Although Barcelona, ​​which had won the kick-off power, launched a fierce attack on the goal of Fiorentina under the dispatch of Guardiola, but under the control of Makelele and Gattuso and others. The attack of the Catalonian army seemed to have had little effect.

Rivaldo, who was forcibly restricted by Van Gaal to the left, lost his temper. He fell into a solo state and Figo, who temporarily moved to the center, did not call; Zenden on the right was just a pure winger. The style of planting the bottom pass is a bit incompatible with Barcelona's pass and control system, because although Kluivert is an excellent center forward, his advantage lies in his outstanding instantaneous explosive power, ball handling and cooperation awareness, and grabs points in front of the goal. On the contrary, it is his weakness; Figo, who temporarily moved to the middle, is obviously not very suitable for this role. The Portuguese's dribbling and grasp of rhythm are unparalleled, and long-range shooting is also a major offensive weapon for him, but he is not a qualified player. As the midfield commander, it is difficult to connect frontcourt teammates such as Rivaldo and Zenden together.

Therefore, although Barcelona is playing against Fiorentina from the scene, and the visiting team's game situation is quite dominant, fans with a little sense can see that Rivaldo, Zenden and Figo are almost all relying on Excellent individual abilities fight independently, and there is almost no connection between them when attacking!

And this kind of situation is exactly what Fiorentina players are most willing to see. Although Figo and Rivaldo have strong personal abilities, no defensive player can guarantee that they can stare at each other in a one-on-one situation, but now The situation is that Rivaldo (or Figo) alone dribbles the ball to attack their entire defense line, and the other players without the ball are on the sidelines as onlookers instead of helping, then the situation is completely different.

You know, even the aliens who are recognized as having the strongest personal abilities dare not pick out an entire Italian reinforced concrete defense line under normal conditions, and they still have an enhanced version of top defenders such as Nesta and Stam. , let alone Rivaldo and Figo?

Unless Rivaldo and the others turn their backs in this game, like in the first round, under the close defense of Makelele and the others, they can kick a curve ball straight to the dead corner of the goal with any kick, otherwise they This kind of behavior now is tantamount to asking for death!
