Chapter 412: The Great War Begins! (Part 2)
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard is one of the famous Dutch three musketeers who dominated the Serie A and European Milan dynasty in the eighties and nineties of the last century!
Frank's Catalan pronunciation is Frink, and the people of Barcelona call him Frink, and he is affectionately addressed by the locals in the local language, which is a reflection of recognition, and it also shows the satisfaction and respect of the whole Barcelona for Rijkaard.

Rijkaard's history at Barcelona began at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, where it didn't take much time for Barça vice-president Rosell and director Begilstan to agree a contract with the Dutchman for a modest annual salary: "We don't give him much money, only 1 million euros a year, which is an annual salary below market value. Russell later recalled, "He was a good man. ”
On Cruyff's recommendation, Rijkaard became the head coach of Barcelona. Barça administrators also admit that Rijkaard is much more honest in this regard than those "thorny" coaches who make trouble, and he is faithful to the club's decisions and never causes any trouble for the club.
As a coach, Rijkaard is cautious, humble and studious, and it seems that all the words that can be used in a manager can be adapted to the Dutchman.
***********
Rijkaard is still more serious and cautious about the opponent of Sporting Gijon, and Leon's words to Barcelona are almost numb, which makes the whole Barcelona team intoxicated, but it does not include Rijkaard.
He asked his assistant Tenkat to find out the news, through the report of the hotel staff where Sporting Gijón was staying, and covertly observed some situations in Sporting Gijón's training, Tenkat believed that Sporting Gijón was indeed very afraid of Barcelona, and they were practicing defense in training.
In addition, Tengkat studied some of Sporting Gijón's previous games and found that Ang's Sporting Gijón's offensive tactics are somewhat strikingly similar to the current Barcelona, but, obviously, Barcelona are doing better, so, given this, the Chinese head coach very much recognizes Barcelona's football philosophy, and then likes it very much, which is possible.
Rijkaard and Ten Carter were much like Bryan Clough and Peter Taylor, and the combination of the two men was later considered to be the biggest contributor to Barcelona's rise. This Mr. Tengkat, before Li Ang's rebirth in his previous life, also went to the Shandong team of the Chinese Super League to coach.
Rijkaard listened to Tenkart's analysis, and he came to the conclusion that there was no conspiracy on the part of Sporting Gijon. Everything looks relatively normal, not like there's anything greasy.
"Perhaps, the Chinese are admirers of your football philosophy." Tenkat said with a smile.
Rijkaard smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. This game, he is bound to win, Barcelona eyes on Europe, they want to reign in Europe again, only by continuing to advance in the league and establish the advantage of winning the championship in advance, Barcelona can focus more on the Champions League.
***********
Arriving at the visiting dressing room at Camp Nou, assistant coach Scott told his players to change their shirts and prepare to warm up for the team.
Banderas was whispering something to Leon.
Among the members of Leon's coaching staff, Scott is the real assistant coach, some of the team's training arrangements, as well as to inform the players and other trivial matters, Leon is handed over to Scott to do, this veteran employee who has worked in Sporting Gijón for more than 20 years, the coaching level is relatively average, but as an assistant coach is very suitable. And Banderas is more like Leon's assistant, Banderas was born in Real Madrid's youth coaching system, and his foundation is very solid, and he can help Leon make suggestions and make up for the shortcomings.
The coaching team of this trio can be said to match each other, which is very reasonable, at least Li Ang is personally satisfied.
Leon and Banderas are talking about the starting line-up, and it's not uncommon for the game to start when the starting line-up hasn't been decided, and managers are cautious when it comes to selecting their starters, and many managers have had the experience of delaying until the last minute to finalize the starting line-up.
Li Ang prepared two sets of tactics for this game, each of which used different starters. In these two days of training, the players have been familiar with the two sets of tactics, and after the head coach chooses to decide, they only need to play according to the coach's arrangement, so the work of the head coach is very hard, their brains need to be precisely calculated, thoughtful, and many kinds of plans and plans are stored in the brain, which must be able to come up with effective at any time.
The sound of the players talking in the corridor was the return of the warm-up players, and Leon finally gritted his teeth and determined the starting lineup, and then determined the final tactics that would be chosen after the game began.
***********
Around the same time, in the home dressing room at Camp Nou, Rijkaard was laying out his tactics for the upcoming game. Compared with the previous game, Barcelona's tactics have not changed much, and the strength is so strong that Barcelona basically doesn't need to modify their tactics for specific opponents, so as to adapt to all changes and crush everything, which is what it means.
Everyone is familiar with the tactics, so some of the players didn't pay much attention to it, and the nervousness of the big game could not be seen on the faces of the players, and many of them were smiling. There were even people chatting quietly below, and some people were still listening to music, quietly doing things that had nothing to do with the tactical meeting.
Rijkaard, of course, sees this in his eyes, but he is not angry, Rijkaard is a very tolerant coach, as long as there are no problems with the training and game status and attitude of the players, then everything is more casual. In fact, Rijkaard is proud of the fact that his players were able to maintain such a relaxed mentality against Sporting Gijon, a dark horse team that finished third in the league.
"Our biggest enemy is ourselves, so as long as we keep the form and performance of the previous games, it won't be a big problem to win against Sporting Gijón. After talking about the tactics, Rijkaard added. "Once the game starts, I want everyone to get into the game quickly and confirm the win as soon as possible!"
In the middle of next week, Barcelona will have a Champions League group stage match against Celtic, although the opponent is not strong, but after all, the team is a double game a week, if they can play less in today's game and get more rest, it is naturally a good thing.
***********
Leon finally started announcing the team's starting line-up in the locker room, almost at the same time as assistant coach Scott Ferry had just submitted his starting line-up.
Unlike Sporting Gijón, who didn't report their starting line-up until the game was about to start. Barcelona's starting line-up was announced when they set off for the pitch.
So, at this moment, the reporters who are already in the media box at Camp Nou have already seen Barcelona's starting list.
Even if it's just the time of the announcement of the starting list, the Barcelona people can find a sense of superiority. They said the early announcement of the starting line-up was a testament to Barcelona's strength and fearlessness. They believe they can crush everything and are not afraid of any team's challenge. So, the early announcement of the starting line-up is a manifestation of that self-confidence, which is the mentality that a championship-level team should have.
Then, they began to ridicule Leon and Sporting Gijón, saying that Leon had been hiding the starting list, which just showed that he was scared, and he was indecisive and hesitant.
Mitra, a reporter from the "Voice of Gijón", watched this scene with a sneer, just now, these Catalans were still talking and laughing, praising Leon for his friendliness to Barcelona and being an 'old friend of Barcelona', and now, in the blink of an eye, they are sarcastic and ridiculed.
When the game starts, you're crying!
Finally, when the players from both sides played, these media reporters got the starting list of Sporting Gijón.
Mitra glanced at Sporting Gijón's starting line-up, and then attention was drawn to the stadium, where Sporting Gijón coach Leon and Barcelona coach Rijkaard shook hands, and the two also hugged and exchanged two words before parting.
"The highlight of the 12th round of the 2004/2005 Spanish Primera Division, Barcelona's home vs Sporting Gijón, is finally about to begin!"
The Great War is coming!
