"You want to step on me to reverse the situation? Stop joking."
After leading the team to Barcelona, ??Dick also learned about the attitude of Barcelona fans, which made him laugh a little - he just made a bet with someone, which could also be related to his own curse - if he had this ability , why are you still leading the team in games? If you curse your opponents for being in bad shape in every game, then you can easily win
For Atletico Madrid, it is impossible for them to concede this game. In the away game, they can win or draw, but they cannot lose. If they lose this game again, then in the next Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid will be in a difficult position. A very unfavorable situation. It is not very difficult to defeat Barcelona in an away game, but the home atmosphere of Camp Nou is something Dick has to consider. If it is a normal game, the home advantage may not be too obvious, but after seeing Barcelona Judging from the fans' performance in the Derby of the Century, you will know what kind of pressure such a crazy stadium will put on the visiting team!
Dick is very confident in his psychological quality. Even if 100,000 Barcelona fans shout at his throat, he will not frown. However, it can be seen from the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid that even the top players , amidst such crazy shouts and boos, will also perform poorly.
Figo is considered a very top and mature player. When coins were raining down on the sidelines, he still insisted on taking corner kicks without changing his expression. However, his performance in that game was very average. Yes, and being able to not take it to heart are two different things.
Although the hatred between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is not that big, Barcelona fans who have been incited by the Catalan media may make the same crazy move against Atletico Madrid in this game. Atletico Madrid is a talented team. If the team that is formed is affected by the sidelines, it may be difficult to get at least a draw at Camp Nou!
If they were to play against Barcelona without being affected, Dick would be very sure of defeating Barcelona. Barcelona is currently in turmoil. It's not that their lineup has not been fully integrated, but that they cannot be integrated at all. They had this problem in the next few years. They bought a bunch of stars, but they were never able to form a whole. It was not until Ronaldinho joined that they began to become a real team that fought as a whole.
Although Atletico Madrid is not a complete whole now, they are working together day by day and there is no problem against Barcelona. The only obstacle now is the home atmosphere of Camp Nou.
Dick doesn't have much to do about this, because he can't influence what the players think. Even Real Madrid's top players are in poor condition amidst the crazy shouting at Camp Nou. You know This is not the first time for most of them to represent Real Madrid against Barcelona, ??but they are still affected. It can only be said that when Barcelona fans burst out their hatred, it can indeed have a very terrifying impact ¡
Dick felt it was time to use the goal card.
Before the game started, he used two goal cards, all of which were used on Jardel. Jardel had not scored in two rounds. Although he did not play in one round, it was just that such a shooter was introduced at a high price. Of course, it is necessary Only if he scores a few more goals can he prove that Dick's vision is right!
"I think we will definitely receive a lot of interference in this game. I don't ask you to completely ignore the interference in the stands, but in fact you don't have to worry too much, like in the battle of the century. That kind of scene is unlikely to come true. There is no such big hatred between us and Barcelona. Even if there is hatred, it is directed at me Play the game well. If we do not lose to them, then it will be a loss. Their biggest disappointment!¡±
Atletico Madrid players answered in unison that they are well aware of the recent reaction of Barcelona fans. If Barcelona treated the game with such a fierce attitude in that game because Figo stimulated their nerves, then If they went crazy again during this game, it would be because Dick had stimulated their nerves.
The only difference is that Figo is seen as a traitor and Judas in the eyes of Barcelona people, while Dick is seen as a mad dog who always provokes and attacks Barcelona in the eyes of Barcelona people!
"Let's go, guys." Dick waved his hand and asked the players to prepare for the game.
After everyone walked out, Dick lit a cigarette and laughed.
"It seems that today's game will be a war between me and the Barcelona fans"
Dick sighs to himselfHe looked at it, and then glanced at a bag at his feet. There was Dick's secret weapon prepared for this battle
"Well, let's see who can win this battle." Dick put out the cigarette butt, then picked up the bag and walked out of the locker room.
Because he had already been to Camp Nou once, Dick did not look around to see what the internal tunnel of Camp Nou looked like. He quickly approached the player tunnel. Players from both sides had already appeared, and the loud noise was getting louder and louder. The closer you get, even in the players' tunnel, you seem to be able to feel the hot and suffocating power coming from the stadium!
The light was getting brighter and brighter, and Dick was getting closer and closer to the players' tunnel. At this time, he was noticed by two Camp Nou security guards carrying the bag. Although they knew Dick was the head coach of Atletico Madrid, they really didn't know him. Have you ever seen a head coach carrying a bag
"Mr. Dick, what's in your bag?" A security guard stopped Dick politely and asked politely.
Dick glanced at them - Damn, they weren't the two security guards who stopped me outside the La Masia football school
Dick didn't bother to talk to them, and just put the bag on the ground: "You guys should check it yourself."
The security guard said sorry to Dick, then opened the bag and saw clearly what was inside: "Uh, why are you bringing this thing?"
"I'm afraid of rain." Dick smiled slightly: "There is no rule that says you are not allowed to bring umbrellas into the stadium."
The two security guards looked at each other strangely. It was a nice day today, cloudless. He said he was afraid of rain? Is this guy mentally abnormal?
"Of course, I'm sorry."
The two security guards moved out of the way, Dick laughed, then picked up his bag again and walked toward the exit of the player tunnel.
When the players from both sides came on the field, the reaction of the Barcelona fans was quite normal. More than 90,000 people cheered for Barcelona in unison. However, when Dick appeared in the tunnel, the entire Camp Nou stadium was quiet for a while. Immediately afterwards, the angry shouts of more than 90,000 Barcelona fans poured down from the entire stands, and the target was Dick who came out of the players' tunnel!
Even the Atletico Madrid players who had already stepped onto the court could not help but change their faces amidst such crazy shouts. Although they were not the first to bear the brunt, the gathering of so many people's resentments can indeed make people fearful.
??Thousands of people pointed it out, and it ended without any illness.
Dick didn't seem to have any reaction, at least on the surface. He walked steadily and came to the visiting team's coaching bench despite the boos. Then he put his bag at his feet and turned around to look. Looking at the only stand behind the visiting team's coaching bench that belonged to the visiting team's fans, he made a "V" gesture toward the stands!
More than two thousand Atletico Madrid fans cheered excitedly, but they were immediately suppressed by the angry Barcelona fans with even louder boos!
They did not throw coins, because the scene of coins falling like raindrops in the Battle of the Century also caused Barcelona Club to be warned by the Spanish Football Association if there was another large-scale throwing of debris into the field. , Camp Nou may be subject to a more serious fine - they were fined $50,000 last time
Dick turned around calmly, then raised his hand to say hello to the home team's coaching bench.
Van Gaal ignored him with a tense face. Now the Dutchman has become a mud Buddha and cannot save himself. His results in the past few seasons were not bad, so even though many Barcelona fans are dissatisfied with his approach of only reusing the Dutchman, his position is still very good. Stable, but since this summer, Barcelona's results have begun to become unstable, and the previous dissatisfaction has begun to burst out collectively. If there is no good performance, I am afraid he will also be dismissed.
Mourinho is looking at Dick with great interest. He already wants to leave Barcelona. Van Gaal's position is unstable. He also feels that he has learned enough in Barcelona. He is Van Gaal's assistant coach. If Van Gaal leaves, he will naturally have no reason to stay. Because of this idea, Mourinho began to watch some of Dick's performances with a more neutral attitude.
"Knowing that the Barcelona fans are very dissatisfied with him, he still blatantly provokes him in this way. What is his intention? The attitude of the fans will affect the players. If the players are angry, they may break out in a better way. However, there may be an impatient attitude in the game. If Atletico Madrid's tactics are based on stability, then Dick's approach will be justified." Mourinho thought in his heart.?.
The lineup sent by Dick was still their usual 4-5-1, Jardel advanced, behind him were Vicente and Camoranesi, Beleron Baraja and Makelele formed the midfield, and behind him were Vicente and Camoranesi. The defense is Capdevila, Aguilera, Thuram and Gamarra, with goalkeeper Molina.
Barcelona's situation is somewhat inexplicable. They have never found a stable lineup this season - Alfonso and Kluivert serve as double strikers, Rivaldo roams behind them, and Melo is protected in the midfield. Diola, De La Pena and Petit, with Sergi and Reiziger on both sides of the defense. Abelardo, who faced Atletico Madrid last season and made consecutive mistakes, did not play in this game. Van Gaal let Ko Ku guest-starred as central defender and partnered with Frank De Boer. The goalkeeper was young local goalkeeper Arnault. Dutch goalkeeper Hesip has now been gradually relegated to the sidelines.
It is precisely because of seeing such a lineup that Dick has no doubts about beating Barcelona now. Barcelona has indeed begun to fall into a period of chaos. They have many players, but they have flaws in many aspects, such as the goalkeeper position. , such as the core of the organization, such as a reliable forward, such as a reliable central defender In these aspects, they have never been able to find a reliable person.
