Of course, as a victim, Van Gaal does not want to become a victim like this, he still needs to make a last ditch effort.
The end of the game has not yet been reached. Van Gaal is a top coach and he still has top players. Falling behind by two goals in the first half was not enough to make him lose his fighting spirit.
¡°Now, we are faced with a head coach who is here to take revenge.¡±
Van Gaal's deep voice echoed in the locker room: "I know you have all heard the story of that guy He came to Catalonia alone and recommended himself to join the FC Barcelona. The theories he proposed at the time aroused the suspicion of Mr. Ruyfe was very interested, but was kicked out because he couldn't train at all. Then he went to Atletico Madrid and became the head coach of Atletico Madrid six months later, preventing us from winning two championships last season. Process! This guy is here for revenge! He will not hold anything back when facing us. As long as he has a slight advantage, he will show off unscrupulously to stimulate our nerves and intensify our humiliation! From a perspective, I can understand Dick, because a man should take the most violent revenge for the humiliation he has suffered! But as a member of his revenge target, I will never tolerate being retaliated by him like this! His own dignity! The target of his revenge is not a specific target, but Barcelona is made up of us! Revenge against Barcelona is retaliation against us, and we have not done anything for what happened to him before! What should we do when someone bullies us? Hold our head and let the other person give him a good beating, and then let the other person leave with a long and arrogant laugh?¡±
"of course not!"
The Barcelona players roared at the same time. They are all famous players who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they all have top standards and reputations. And some things that happened before have proved that Dick is indeed such a guy who will not show mercy at all. After knocking you down, I will never pretend to say something like "I am lucky this time". Instead, I will look at you with contempt, give you a middle finger, and then say, "Now you know how powerful I am." ,asshole!"
This kind of humiliation is not only suffered by Barcelona Club, but every one of their players will bear it!
"Fuck, no one can lose to this bitch!" The Barcelona players were aroused by the same idea, and their morale began to slowly turn around, hoping that they could win in the second half. Let's make a desperate counterattack - it's not like they haven't done this before! Last season they defeated Chelsea at home and completed a shocking reversal!
When the atmosphere in the home team's locker room began to become united, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room seemed much more relaxed.
"I think it would be hypocritical if I said you could do better at this time."
Dick smiled slightly in the locker room: "Keep it up, guys. Although I successfully made those fans use noise to deal with us in the first half, it can easily anger the Barcelona players. Because They know that they will suffer greater humiliation after losing to me. As long as they don't want to be humiliated, they will try their best to defeat us in the second half But I want to humiliate a team, can they escape? No, this is a personal grudge, but defeating Barcelona is also beneficial to Atletico Madrid! We must fight for the championship! This is our goal! Anyone who stands in the way of this goal will be defeated by us. Kick it away without mercy!"
"Ba, Sai, Luo, Na, Ye, Bu, Exception, Exception." Dick said word by word.
***************************************
"The second half is about to begin, and there are no substitutions on either side Is Van Gaal already desperate for the game? I hope to see a more positive performance"
The commentator on Catalan TV sighed and said that he hoped to see changes in the team, but he felt that without substitutions, there would probably be no changes
But five minutes later, he started to get excited!
"Beautiful! Rivaldo's long shot! It was just a little bit off!"
The Barcelona fans shouted wildly in the stands. Just now, their number one star Rivaldo received a back pass from Kluivert. Without stopping the ball, he fired a long-range shot of extremely high quality. The ball passed by Molina struggled to stretch out his hand, and then flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar
Rivaldo took a deep look at Atletico Madrid¡¯s goal, then turned and walked away.
¡°I didn¡¯t get in this time, I must get in next time!¡±
Rivaldo has such confidence. After Figo left, he had more space for activities and achieved more.??'s goals, his scoring ability has been fully demonstrated. Since the beginning of this season, he has scored five goals in seven league rounds and six goals in five games in the Champions League! This kind of scoring ability is enough to prove Rivaldo's excellence!
Dick whistled off the court, and then pointed at Makelele. Makelele nodded silently on the court. It was his negligence just now that gave Rivaldo a chance to score. Next, he will definitely Don't make the same mistake again!
Rivaldo noticed Makelele defending next to him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Although Makelele's defense was quite good in the first half, it was Baraja who mainly defended him. There are not many players who can guard Rivaldo. Although the French midfielder performed very well, Rivaldo does not feel that he will be defended by the opponent.
Soon, he will feel what it will be like to be marked by the number one defensive midfielder in the world for the next few years.
Although Makelele is an intercepting midfielder, his marking ability is not bad at all. His physical fitness, defensive awareness and running ability are all excellent. This kind of midfielder is still available today. The reason why they are not valued by others is because in recent years, there have been several top defensive midfielders who have attracted everyone's attention. They can defend and attack, and they often have strong leadership skills, such as Roy Keane, such as Redondo, such as Vieira However, after these monsters gradually grow old, the role of defensive midfielders like Makelele is gradually valued!
In the eighth minute of the second half, Guardiola passed the ball to De La Pena. Fernando saw that Rivaldo had just turned around to get rid of Baraja's defense, and immediately sent a through pass.
However, this direct pass was interrupted by Makelele midway! He appeared on the passing route in time, then stretched out his foot easily and intercepted the ball in the middle. Then he raised his foot and passed the ball to Belleron. Belleron initiated a direct pass and Camorane went west. After receiving the ball, Lu broke through and shot inside, but Arnault saved it.
In the 13th minute of the second half, Sergi broke through from the wing and planned to pass the ball across to Rivaldo. Rivaldo relied on his height advantage to finally get the ball under Makelele's close defense. Just after turning around, Makelele passed the ball to Rivaldo. Rai's foot was already there. Rivaldo quickly dunked his left foot and dodged Makelele's pressing. Just as he was about to dribble the ball forward, Makelele quickly retracted his foot and continued to entangle Rivaldo. He was forced to turn around - after such a delay, Atletico Madrid's defensive players were already in place. In the end, the attack only resulted in a reluctant shot and did not pose a threat.
Van Gaal frowned. He mobilized the morale of the players and pinned most of his hopes of scoring on Rivaldo. However, the short French midfielder's defensive ability was much better than his. Unexpectedly, during this period of time together with Baraja, Rivaldo also looked very embarrassed - basically I have never seen Rivaldo so embarrassed this season!
Now a substitution is needed to help Rivaldo.
Van Gaal thought for a while, and then changed two people in one breath.
Overmars came on and replaced Dela Pena, Herrard came on and replaced Petit.
Strengthening the breakthrough ability of the wing and strengthening the protection of Guardiola in the middle. Van Gaal's two substitutions are quite targeted. However, Dick also immediately changed someone. He replaced Card with Cruz. Moranesi instantly increased the defensive pressure on Barcelona's center!
Dick did not adopt a defensive tactic in the second half. That was because he knew that although Barcelona was not very good as a whole, they still had several superstars who could instantly change the situation on the field. Atletico Madrid's overall advantage could not be fully utilized. If they come out, they need to use offense to suppress them, exposing their weaknesses in the back line more, and leaving their frontcourt superstars without much opportunity to play!
Barcelona's defense has natural weaknesses, and the midfield is getting closer and closer to being a mess. Apart from a few top stars, there is nothing to show for it. In this case, they will carry on as a whole and use goals one by one to let them win. Stars become irritated and fall into a vicious cycle of only using their personal abilities to attack. Only in this way can the team's advantage become even greater!
Barcelona tried hard to use offense to score goals, but their hope of reversing the situation was shattered. They attacked a lot, but they were unable to form a continuous attack every time. Atletico Madrid would immediately use their own offense after gaining the ball. Taking the initiative again, the most terrible thing is that in such a see-saw attack, Atletico Madrid's defensive success rate is higher than Barcelona, ??and the number of shots Barcelona can form is far less than Atletico Madrid!
Under such confrontation, Barcelona quickly lost the third goal.
? ?Lina struggled to save Alfonso's shot, and then Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack. Barcelona struggled to defend and formed a positional battle. Camoranesi passed the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Jader used his body to hold the defending Frank DeBoer, raised his foot to remove the ball, and then suddenly turned around and shot before Cocu came to cover!
The ball bounced on the lawn, then bounced off the ground, flew past Arnault's hands, and flew into the gate of Barcelona for the third time!
"The third goal! In the back-and-forth confrontation, Atletico Madrid still scored the third goal! They basically took the victory in their own hands! Barcelona lost and had nothing to say! They obviously looked different during the game. It doesn¡¯t look like a complete team. We only see Kluivert running around in the frontcourt, Rivaldo shooting constantly, Guardiola¡¯s passes rarely reach the feet of his teammates, and the defense line But they were broken again and again Barcelona did not lose unjustly! They really have a big problem now, and there is no hope that this problem can be solved! The one who dominated Spanish football throughout the 1990s! Barcelona, ??it¡¯s time to go downhill!¡±
The words of the commentator on Spanish National Television seem to have opened the curtain, indicating that Barcelona is about to begin to decline!
