While Jurgen Klopp was 'inhumane' morale at Dort, something similar was happening in the visitors' dressing room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Don't panic too much, it's not the end of the world to be down by two goals, we still have an overwhelming advantage in terms of possession," Guardiola said with a very calm expression, "As long as we stabilize the defense in the second half and keep the ball at our pace, there will definitely be a turnaround." ”

He wanted to see confidence and fighting spirit in the faces of his disciples, but he seemed to have failed.

All he saw was exhaustion on his face.

Whether it is Puyol, Xavi, who are over 30 years old, Iniesta, Alves, Mascherano in the prime of life, or even Messi, Sanchez, Pique, and Busquets who are still on the rise, these people seem to be gasping for breath.

It's easy to understand why midfielders and forwards are so tired because of the physical drain on repeated sprints, but why are even the centre-backs so tired?

Pep Guardiola certainly knows why: Dort's several quick counter-attacks forced his midfield to follow the half-time sprint, which was undoubtedly a personal death for the slow Pique, Mascherano and others.

"Mr. Coach," someone looked up and asked a question that seemed unrelated to the game, "I heard that you are not ready to renew your contract with the team?" Are you going to Manchester United or Inter Milan? ”

The Barcelona players, who were desperately panting, suddenly all fell silent, and the locker room fell into dead silence at this moment.

Everyone's eyes, including Messi and Xavi, were focused on the manager, and they wanted to hear the negative answer from the teacher's mouth, with a blazing look in their eyes.

Guardiola narrowed his eyes slightly, he looked at the young man who had been a little unruly since he was a child: "Sesk, you will also believe such rumors, this does not match your IQ." ”

Cesc Fabregas, who sat on the cold bench for 45 minutes, stared directly at the team's legendary coach without any fear: "Then do you dare to tell us here that next season will ...... Are you still our coach? ”

The Barcelona boss chose to evade: "I can't tell you, and the problem has nothing to do with this game. You're all professionals, so you should play every game, no matter what happens to the club. ”

The flame in Messi and Xavi's eyes was extinguished, and they lowered their heads, as if they had lost all their vitality in an instant.

"That's right," Cesc Fabregas held his head high, "in June, you recalled me from Arsenal and you told me to continue the club's glory with me at Barcelona, but in less than half a year, you were ready to leave here, it was just a child's nonsense, wasn't it?" ”

"Sesk!" Puyol had to speak out to stop him, but as the team's most authoritative captain, he did not accuse his teammates of "speaking disrespectfully" and "disrespecting the coach".

Assistant coach Vilanova looked at the players and then at the manager, and he didn't know how to close the estrangement.

Looking at the suspicious eyes of his former disciples, as if they were looking at a betrayer, Guardiola suddenly sighed.

In his four years at Barcelona, he has won all the trophies he can get, and he has already suppressed his former friend and current nemesis, Jose Mourinho.

Now he's a little tired of it, he just wants to change the environment and take on a new challenge.

With the honor, he is eager to have more control over the team and continue the team's glory, but this will undoubtedly cause friction with the team's hierarchy, in fact, Russell has long wanted to let himself go, and he is fed up with the dictates of those who only talk but don't do.

Since the New Year, many teams have offered him olive branches, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Chelsea, and even Sir Alex Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United, all want to be his successor...... It's no secret that this is no secret.

He did not renew his contract immediately, and perhaps hoped that Rosell would be a little softer, and then he could continue to work at Barcelona.

But Russell did not back down at all, and the higher-ups did not seem to have such intentions, and they were even happy to exile themselves.

But these things ...... How can I explain it to them here?

Pep Guardiola understands that his time at Barcelona has already entered the countdown.

Barcelona's Dream Three Dynasty seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

But he didn't give up, and his eyes regained their brightness: "Even if I'm leaving, I don't want to give up the championship trophy, Leo, don't you want to win?" ”

"No one will give up, sir." Messi got up from the bench and said, "We'll attack and show you." ”

At the beginning of the second half, Guardiola used up the remaining two substitutions: Pedro replaced Keita and officially formed a two-wing formation with Sanchez; Cesc Fabregas, who spearheaded the rebellion in the dressing room, was not only not dropped, but also stepped on to replace Xavi, the team's brain, who wanted to make a last-ditch push with a younger, more attacking player.

But this made Barcelona's passing and control tactics in the first half collapse directly.

Although he came out of the La Masia Academy, after years of training in the Premier League, Cesc Fabregas has become stronger, harder and more capable of delivering the ball forward, but in contrast, he has lost the delicate foot skills of the Spaniard, and he is not a perfect replacement for Xavi's central role in midfield, preferring to receive the ball from the back to participate in the attack, rather than staying in the midfield position to control the whole situation - although he is the closest to the title of "midfield master" among players of his age. But his characteristics have not been able to fit into this Barcelona team.

"Running out of substitutions early, although you can see the courage of Guardiola to turn the game around, but I am afraid that this is a bit too reckless." Zhang Lu is not optimistic about Barcelona's change of formation, "First of all, after removing Xavi, no one in the Barcelona squad is competent for the task of organizing and scheduling; Secondly, if a player is injured or sent off in the second half, they will have no substitution. ”

As if to confirm his prediction, less than 15 minutes into the opening period, Puyol accidentally sprained his ankle in the sprint against Kuba.

Of course, the Barcelona captain knew how serious the situation was, and he was not willing to leave the field early, so he gritted his teeth and persevered for a few more minutes, but the sprained ankle made him unable to continue to exert his strength, and even standing on the field made him feel a pain. Lacking pace and inability to defend steadily, he will only allow Dortmund to concentrate their attacking firepower in this area of their defense, which will only become a burden to their team-mates.

"Ah...... Puyol was forced to leave the game," Duan Yixuan really didn't expect Zhang Lu's ten-minute prediction to be true, "Because the substitution quota has been used up, Barcelona can only play one less game now." ”

Zhang Lu opened his mouth, then shook his head—he didn't expect it to be like this.

Guardiola could only spread his hands helplessly.

He has nothing to do, and only Sergio Busquets can barely make a cameo at centre-back, but their midfield will not have any hardness, and just when Barcelona changed formations, the Chinese kid had already made their midfield his own territory.

Without Sergio Busquets' pressing and marking, it was the first time that Chingud felt his movement so easy and uninhibited, bobbing the ball between Andres Iniesta and Xavi, with the two midfield maestes watching him off from behind him – they weren't used to breaking their opponents' legs.

Who else can help Barça stop this Chinese? (To be continued.) )
