Chapter 276: Rijkaard's Prediction

The movement of Inter Milan has been watched by people from Barcelona.

Therefore, the news that Carlos rushed from Milan to Barcelona overnight was soon known by the Barcelona side.

"Do you think Leon will send Carlos to start?" Rijkaard asked his assistant Tenkaert.

This change on the part of Inter Milan has aroused the interest and attention of Rijkaard, which has an impact on the tactics that Barcelona will adopt in this game and the results that they will pursue, with Carlos and Inter Milan without Carlos, Barcelona's tactics are different.

"I don't think he's going to play Carlos. Tengkat shook his head, "According to the intelligence we have received, Carlos is very tired, which is obviously not suitable for the game. ”

Rijkaard's brow furrowed, and on the table in front of him was an open laptop, which was playing some clips of Inter Milan's matches. It happened to be the match between Inter Milan and Arsenal, and Arsenal in this fiasco, a limited number of counterattacks, most of which could not get past Carlos's defensive interface.

"No, I think Leon will send Carlos. Rijkaard said, and then he continued to state his analysis, "Carlos is a descendant of Leon, he is the player he relies on the most, and he is very important in Inter's attacking and defensive system! Since the beginning of this season, except for being rotated in a limited number of inconsequential games, Carlos has played almost the full 90 minutes, and Carlos's tactics are the most familiar tactics of Inter Milan and the tactics with the highest success rate, so although Carlos may be tired, Leon will still choose to use Carlos. ”

"Doesn't Leon know that Carlos is physically exhausted?" asked Tenkat puzzled.

"Of course he knows, but he'll still use Carlos. Rijkaard smiled, "It's a kind of inertia, it's a kind of blind confidence, and even superstition." ”

Tenka nodded in understanding.

In addition, some managers are very superstitious, for example, when a player is on the field, he has never lost, the head coach will definitely insist on sending a certain player, in the game where Carlos played, Inter Milan has only lost one game in all competitions this season, that is, the game against CSKA Moscow in the ice and snow in Moscow, regardless of the weather factors of this game, that is to say, in so many other games, as long as Carlos plays, Inter Milan remains unbeaten。

According to the media, even if the competitive factor is not considered, the head coach will especially like such a player who 'can bring special luck to the team', and will not easily take it from the starting lineup.

In fact, many coaches have some fetishes that borderline superstition.

The most widely circulated theory is that the selection criteria for the French national team coach Domenech to select the French international is 'constellation metaphysics', Domenech is very superstitious about the constellation theory, and he will only choose players whose constellations are 'beneficial' to him. The French press revealed Domenech's enthusiasm for astrology, which he relied almost entirely on for guidance. Domenech's fetish dates back 20 years to when he was head coach at Mulhouse. Under the guidance of a local astrologer, Domenech first learned about the characteristics of his team from an astrological point of view. Since then, Domenech has been doubly cautious with players from some zodiac signs, staying away from them and even ruthlessly eliminating them.

Born on January 24, Domenech belongs to the constellation Aquarius, which, according to Western astrology, is precisely Leo. As a result, defenders such as Gallas and Silvestre are all Leo, and they have all been tested repeatedly by Domenech before being selected for the national team, although these tests are sometimes unnecessary. But when it comes to Domenech's most feared zodiac sign, it has to be Scorpio. According to Western astrological interpretation, Aquarius is the most susceptible to Scorpio's influence. As early as the beginning of 1987, Domenech was "aware" of this. Although the Lyon team in the second division is still relatively strong, the head coach Domenech insists that there are too many Scorpios in the team, "Scorpios are more aggressive, one scorpion can revitalize the whole team, but two scorpions will kill each other!' Therefore, Scorpio Pires has not been selected since the match against France in Cyprus." Frey and Anelka are both Pisces, and Pisces is almost as bad as Leo in terms of astrological harmony with Aquarius. And Manchester United defender Silvestre and striker Saa are both his opposite zodiac signs——— Leo, and Domenech will naturally not give the two too many opportunities.

Therefore, considering these factors, Ten Carter also tends to agree with Rijkaard's idea that in this game, Leon will send Carlos.

"So, that's our chance. Rijkaard's expression was slightly excited, "Leon chooses to believe in a tired Carlos, and we have to tell him with practical actions that this choice is wrong!

Tengkaert's eyes lit up, and he agreed with Rijkaard's statement, as if it was.

23 April 2008.

Barcelona, Camp Nou.

In the dressing room of the away team Inter Milan.

Leon is in the locker room making the final mobilization for the team.

"The Barcelona people say that their goal is to win the last title, they say they want revenge, and their media are also saying that Barcelona's biggest hope now is to chase the Champions League title, even if they are many points behind Real Madrid in the league, this has become the reason why they can beat us, because, the terrible focus of Barcelona!"

"Hah, that sounds scary...... Leon said.

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room, and the coach's sarcastic tone was certainly visible to everyone.

"But these thoughts of the Barcelonans, well, what a confident idea they have, but does it have anything to do with us?"

Leon made a gesture. "How confident they are, well, they are focused on this game, how hungry they are for revenge, do they have a euro to do with us? Not at all! We don't care about them, all we have to do is be ourselves! win the game!

Leon instilled one thing in all the players, and that is to do what you have to do!

PS: An advertisement, "The Great Demon King of Football" with a big head: Wang Dalong was pitted by the system, and he said that he would become the big demon of football, but the result was just a bunch of attributes of ordinary players such as Wu Lei and Li Yi......
