Chapter 504 National Derby
"Barcelona in Pursuit of 'Glory'", this is the headline published by Mundo Deportivo before the [-]th Spanish national derby, but such a headline is not a good word for Barcelona, ​​which is currently fifth in the league. As a Catalan regional newspaper that has always supported Barcelona, ​​the reason why Mundo Deportivo published such a slap in the head is entirely out of hatred for the club's new chairman.

Hean Gaspart has made drastic changes to the team since he was elected as the new president of FC Barcelona in July 2000. In order to stabilize his position, he even turned towards Crewe Yves began to attack. In order to eliminate Cruyff’s influence on the team, Gaspart also wanted to clean up most of the Dutch stars in the team. He wanted to build a “pure Catalan” team. The team, although Gaspart's behavior is in a sense helping the team, after all, Cruyff's influence on the team is too great. There are as many as seven Dutchmen in the team. Gaspart's doing so can make the team break away from the "Dutch" system and embark on its own path, but Gaspart's too impatient actions have plunged the club into turmoil. , The players' minds are completely out of the game, because they are not even sure whether they will be able to play in the next game, which makes Barcelona's record take a sharp turn this season, although the team's performance last season was also very average.

However, although Barcelona is in turmoil now, for them, the national derby is still extremely important. In any season, even if Barcelona cannot win the league title, they must try their best to defeat Real Madrid in the national derby. Although the new head coach Lorence Ferrer still can't control the locker room, at least his words worked a lot before the national derby.

Compared with the turmoil in Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid has been going smoothly since the winter break. Not to mention the Champions League, Real Madrid has won eight consecutive victories in the league. This is the longest winning streak for Real Madrid in recent seasons. Liu Han The joining of the team not only brought the team's offensive firepower to a higher level, but also allowed Real Madrid to gain more attention from all over the world.

Compared with the embarrassment of Barcelona's new chairman Gasparte, Real Madrid's new chairman Florentino is much better. But those who are interested can find that Real Madrid's recent series of business activities have actually made a lot of money.

Entering March, Real Madrid began to fully prepare for the next national derby. Bosque intends to put Liu Han on the front line again in this game, and in the center position. Morientes will leave the field, and the front line will be Raul and Liu Han's partner, in order to target Barcelona's relatively low defense line, Bosque planned to let Liu Han fully display his strength in this game.

On March 2001, 3, the 3th Spanish national derby finally started at Camp Nou in Barcelona.

In the player tunnel, the Barcelona players looked at the tallest player among all the players with strange eyes. Last season, Liu Han, who was still at Arsenal, led the Arsenal team and left a deep impact on Barcelona, ​​especially It's Barcelona's defense. They were played by this oriental in their two encounters with Arsenal. The opponent even completed a hat-trick at the Nou Camp, but now this big man who made them a deep impression wears their archenemy jersey.

With the whistle of the referee, this much-watched national derby finally started.

"The game finally started. The boys from Barcelona kicked off first. They were very brave and boldly rushed to the hinterland of Real Madrid. No. 4 Guardiola crossed the ball to Cocu, who was responding in the middle, and avoided the Oriental boy. The boys of Barcelona must be careful of this guy, he is the most dangerous figure on the front line of Real Madrid."

In the commentary platform of the Nou Camp, the 60-year-old Manel still explains the game with a passionate and magnetic voice. He has worked in the Nou Camp for more than 30 years and has experienced countless national derbies. Always full of confidence in Barcelona, ​​but today I don't know why he feels a little scared in his heart.

Barcelona played very proactively after the start of the game. Although the head coach Ferrer became the Barcelona coach who replaced Van Gaal, Ferrer did not change the team's tactics hastily. After all, the team is still dominated by Dutch players. Mainly, he must arrange the game according to the characteristics of the players.

As soon as Barcelona came up, they pressed the defense line very high, which was a bit like the Netherlands' "Total Attack and Total Defense".

Real Madrid did not rush to counterattack, they started to deal with Barcelona in the midfield, and Makelele performed very well after the start of the game.

Makelele has gradually been reused by Bosque since Liu Han came to the team. This hard-working midfielder has finally been recognized by the head coach. But he is the most stable one.

After the opening, Barcelona pressed on a large scale. Although it seemed to suppress Real Madrid, they have not been able to find a better opportunity. On the front line, Kluivert was confused. There is no better performance.

Liu Han and Barcelona's defense stood together to ensure that he was not in an offside position, and at the same time he was always ready to sprint, because he knew that he would have many such opportunities in this game.

In the first 5 minutes of the game, Barcelona has been besieging Real Madrid. Amid the cheers of nearly [-] spectators, Barcelona played their momentum.

But just when the Barcelona players felt that they were playing more and more smoothly, Real Madrid inadvertently launched their fatal blow.

Although Hierro is now nearly 35 years old and his physical fitness is declining rapidly, his understanding of football is getting deeper and deeper. Judgment has its own set of understandings.

In the 8th minute of the game, Rivaldo and Kluivert in the frontcourt intended to make a two-for-two collision with the wall at the front of the Real Madrid penalty area. However, Hierro accurately judged Kluivert’s passing line and went straight to the goal. Grab the ball and steal it.

After stealing the ball, Hierro did not look up to observe the situation at all, and directly used his greatest strength to drive the ball forward, where Liu Han had already got rid of Barcelona's defense line and inserted at high speed.
