Chapter 017: Cruyff's Surprise (Collection Recommendation)
The Real Madrid fans on the sidelines were thrilled, cheering and applauding loudly for the goal.
Barcelona had been suppressing Real Madrid before, which was simply too uncomfortable for the fans, who could not tolerate their team being suppressed by their century-old rivals. Now, a goal has come, all the grievances have been swept away, and this goal is too morale-boosting.
Refreshing!
"Well done! lads. Pablo Banderas, the team's assistant coach, walked over and said to the young players who were pressing the head coach to celebrate, "But are you going to be the first guy to get a coach injured because of the celebration?"
The little players laughed and scattered, and Leon got up, looking a little embarrassed, and kicked a slower unlucky guy in anger.
"What are you looking at? Do I have flowers on my face?" Leon saw Banderas staring at him, he subconsciously touched his face, but he touched the mud, "These bastards." He scolded.
Pablo Banderas held back a laugh, handed over a clean towel, and watched Leon wipe it with a smug face.
"The one you just said—" Banderas made a punch motion, "referring to such a counterattack opportunity?"
"That's right. Leon nodded, "Barcelona are better than us in attack overall! plus other factors, they definitely want to score goals and beat us." All we have to do is defend, don't concede the ball and wait for the great counter-attack, like we did. ”
"Other factors......" Honest Banderas couldn't help but laugh as he glanced at the terrible turf. He can fully imagine that these young and vigorous young players of Barcelona, tormented by this terrible field situation, and seeing Real Madrid shrink their defense, they must rush out like enraged wolf cubs to bite Real Madrid to pieces. And once you can't attack for a long time, you will become agitated, and the holes in the back line will come out, which is the component of Real Madrid's tactics just now, "You are too cunning, Lee! This counterattack tactic is a classic." He exclaimed.
Li Ang smiled reservedly, looked at the court, and it was much easier to take a one-goal lead. Now that the initiative is on their side, Barcelona who are playing away wants to win?
On the other side, Vilanova waved his hand angrily. Then scolded: "This damn bastard!" How could he not understand at this time, he was fooled just now, he was fooled by Leon, Real Madrid's physical fitness has indeed declined, but it has not reached the extent he imagined, Real Madrid contracted the defensive line, and did not dare to press out, allowing the opponent to bully the pitiful look, all this is a scam, just to induce Barcelona to attack, and then Real Madrid seized an opportunity to hit Barcelona by surprise.
Cruyff stood behind him with his chest crossed, frowning slightly as he listened to Vilanova's complaints, but still did not say anything.
Then, his gaze moved from the field to the sidelines. Attention shifted from Barcelona's young players to Real Madrid's dugout, and his eyes stayed on the young coach with the eastern face.
Creating suitable field conditions, although it is a small ploy, but this bad field has indeed affected Barcelona, from the player's psychology to technical movements, as well as tactics have been affected, so to speak, the field conditions created by Real Madrid are the basis of their tactics just now, and even deliberately provoked the opponent's coach, making full use of every winning factor that can be used, and still sticking to the established tactics in the case of the team's extreme passivity, and finally receiving the reward......... Real Madrid's under-17 junior A team coach is not simple.
Cruyff glanced at the slightly restless Vilanova, although he didn't want to admit it, but, it is undeniable that the first half of the game has been played so far, and the first half of the game is judged alone, and Vilanova is not as good as the opposing manager.
Not only did Leon's tactics and other auxiliary work successfully contain Barcelona, but also Cruyff was convinced that from what he had just seen, one thing could be seen, the opponent's young coach had done a very good job of preparing for this game, and it could be said that he had done everything he could to prepare for the game, while on his side, Bilanova obviously lacked more adequate preparation for this game.
"Real Madrid's luck is really good, they have not conceded a goal after being besieged by Barcelona for so long, and they have a sneak attack in one counterattack. Escudero, an SGR radio commentator, said, "That Chinese is really lucky, tsk." ”
"Man, do you really think it was just luck?" asked Harrigson, the radio commentary partner, turning his head.
"Isn't it?" Escudero sneered, "what do you think is anything other than luck? ”
"I think luck always favors those who are prepared. Harrigson shook his head, turned off the track and said, his intuition told him that this time was not an accident, it was more like a long-planned counterattack by Real Madrid, which was the most critical part of their tactical composition? Is this a coincidence? Or is it what you think?
"Don't be funny, man. Escudero closed the track and said, obviously not believing that the goal was the effect of Leon's tactics for Real Madrid, and then he opened the track and continued to explain, "The first half was almost over, and Real Madrid, who were on the back for most of the game, were lucky to score, and they led Barcelona 1-0. ”
Three minutes later, the first half of the game ended. The visiting Barcelona under-17 A team is temporarily behind Real Madrid's under-17 A team by one goal.
Messi and his teammates walked off the field, and the young players of Barcelona were obviously not in a high mood and were wilting one by one.
Looking at the players who had been depressed and low in spirit since coming off the field, Vilanova could only be busy comforting.
Cruyff stared at the children's sneakers and suddenly asked, "Tito, we didn't bring spike sneakers?"
"Bring it!" replied Villanova subconsciously, and then he suddenly woke up, turned his head to look at the sneakers on the children's feet, and saw that they were wearing the usual sneakers for the field, and he was immediately disappointed, he knew that he had made a seemingly inconspicuous but impactful mistake.
Cruyff's long-spiked sneakers are SG (SoftGround), which are suitable for bad fields with a lot of water and rain, while Barcelona's players are now wearing FG (FirmGround) on their feet, and such stars are suitable for flat and dense natural grass hard base courts, and they are not suitable for bad fields with a lot of water and rain.
"I'm going to let them all change right now. Vilanova was so annoyed that he immediately said to the young players: "All change the spikes, this is my mistake, the responsibility for the first half of the game is mine!
'Was it not that we didn't play well in the first half, it was because our shoes didn't fit well?' asked the younger Busquets.
"Of course!" said Villanova in a serious tone.
The expressions on the faces of the dejected little players looked better, and suddenly there was a sound of shoe spikes colliding around them.
Cruyff nodded slightly. As long as the team is used to this slippery and muddy field, he believes that with the strength of the team, they should be able to beat Real Madrid. In the first half of the game, Messi and several other young players he had high hopes for can be said to have only played less than half of their strength, as long as the team can get back on track in the second half, there is a great hope of winning the game with a reversal.
At this time, Rodriguez, the head of the Chamartin training base, who was watching the game from the sidelines, came over to say hello to Cruyff, and then left in a hurry.
Cruyff was a little surprised and nodded slightly. The head of Real Madrid's youth base doesn't seem to be happy and is not happy with Real Madrid's performance in the first half?
No, in Cruyff's opinion, Real Madrid's tactics in the first half were quite successful, and the young coach did a pretty good job.
Cruyff didn't bother Bilanova to explain the tactics of the second half, and he turned his head towards the Real Madrid dugout. I wanted to see what the young coach who surprised him was doing.
This young man did a good job in the first half of the game, and even surprised him, so what will the second half look like?
Cruyff was just looking at the performance of a few young players on a whim, but he didn't expect this game to arouse his extra interest in such a way.
That young coach really surprised him.
