When the players from both sides came on the pitch, the whole Camp Nou stadium erupted in applause and boos at the same time, and the applause was given to the Barcelona players, boos...... It was given to Dick.

In addition to the game against Real Madrid, Barcelona fans rarely have such a concerted effort to boo a person at home - you must know that Dick can still only be regarded as a nobody, the so-called "dragons are not enemies of ants", such an ordinary coach wants to be booed by all Barcelona fans, and it depends on whether he has this qualification!

The blessing of the Tocatalan media, the verbal criticism of Dick during this time can be compiled into a book "Dick Despises Barcelona", plus the last Copa del Rey semi-final Barcelona lost too badly, after all, they haven't lost so badly for several years, and immediately in the eyes of Barcelona fans, Dick has become one of the most hated people.

Listening to this kind of booing, Dick has a feeling of enjoying it - in fact, he has no enmity with Barcelona, to say that there is a grudge with Cruyff, the most unacceptable thing for him is that he thinks Cruyff is a copy of his detailed training materials for the Barcelona youth training system, stealing his training institution that has passed the memory of later generations, and then Cruyff can be said to have no need to cross the river by feeling the stones, and directly cultivate according to his information, will definitely be able to create a prosperous era for Barcelona to sweep the world in the future - how can Dick endure it?

And Cruyff is the honorary president of Barcelona and the godfather behind the scenes, and a man who has retired from first-line football, how can Dick be embarrassed by him? Naturally, there is only a dilemma with Barcelona, otherwise it can't get out of Dick's heart!

As for Barcelona, who are lying on the gun, they will naturally not like Dick, in the past they didn't care because Dick was not a threat to them, and now Dick has led Atletico Madrid to give Barcelona a heavy blow in the Copa del Rey, how can they not boo Dick?

The more his opponent booed himself, the more dangerous he was – a thought that pleased Dick.

So he walked to the coach's seat of the away team with his head held high, and nodded to the coach's seat of Barcelona gentlemanly when he walked halfway through, and then returned to his position reservedly.

Van Gaal fielded all of his main players in this game, with Kluivert, Rivaldo and Figo forming a trident, midfielders Cocu and Gabri alongside Pep Guardiola, and he continued to trust Abelardo at the back, allowing him to form a central defensive combination with Frank de Boer.

Dick's starting XI was unchanged, with Molina, Capdevilla, Aguilera, Gamarara, Chamot, Serena, Baraja, Belleron, Solari, Juninho and Hasselbaink.

Barcelona narrowed the points gap between Barcelona and Deportivo La Coruna to two points in the last round of the league, so at this time they also attach great importance to the league, the gap of two points, four rounds of the league, the possibility of them completing the three consecutive championships is still quite large, beating Atletico Madrid continues to put pressure on Deportivo La Coruna, this is what Van Gaal asked for Barcelona players in this game.

From the beginning of the game, after returning to the four-three-three tactics that he was most accustomed to, Barcelona immediately launched a ferocious attack on Atletico Madrid!

Dick knew there wouldn't be the same luck as the last game, where Louis van Gaal's line-up was a self-destructive one, but they will be playing with a twelve-point spirit to approach this game.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid's defensive tactics in this game should be implemented more thoroughly, not only to defend the penalty area, but also to strengthen the defense in the midfield, what Dick needs is that the team does not give the opponent any chance to score, as for the offensive aspect, he did not use a goal card in this game, but used a fall card, which was specified for the unlucky man of Abelardo......

On one occasion, Abelardo fell once, and a ball was enough to clean them up! However, before that, it is necessary to use tenacious defense to make Barcelona clear that it is not so easy to break through the door of Atletico Madrid.

In this case, Ranieri's legacy has played a role - although Ranieri's work at Atletico this season has been a mess, he is an Italian coach who is good at tuning his defence, and Atletico's previous defensive poor performance was mainly due to his use of risky tactics of four-three-three, but Gamara swayed back and forth between the positions of scavenger and man-marking centre-back. But in other places, such as adjusting the defense, he still put a lot of effort into it, you must know that Cooper's scenery in Valencia this season is more from Ranieri in Valencia to play a good defensive foundation, and Cooper has implemented this defensive tactic even more!

Atletico's players are not bad defensively now, and with Gamarra's command and the morale of all the players, they are not afraid to launch a tight defense in the central midfield to resist wave after wave of attacks by Barcelona players.

Rivaldo's long-range shot, Kluivert's play, Pep Guardiola's playmaking, Cocu's forward cut, Figo's wide break...... Barcelona took all the weapons out of their attack, but against a monolithic Atletico side, they were able to create some chances but couldn't capitalise on them......

Molina also played at a very high level in this game, Barcelona has many excellent players in long-range shooting, Rivaldo is one of the best, and the long-range shooting ability of Cocu and Guardiola is also quite good, Atletico Madrid can't expand the defensive area to that extent, but when Rivaldo and others use long-range shots to find opportunities, he uses beautiful flying saves again and again to block the opponent's shots!

In the 21st minute, Rivaldo had a chance from outside the box, he immediately picked up his left foot and shot the ball hard, and when Molina flew to save, the ball suddenly downloaded in front of him, and then bounced off the turf towards the goal - this was one of Rivaldo's long-range shots, the ball flew into the box and fell on the turf to change the line to get around the goalkeeper's hand......

However, Molina made an extremely sharp save, he moved the ball to the side in the process of saving, the moment the ball smashed into his hand, Molina tilted his head slightly, and with the help of this force, Rivaldo's inevitable long-range shot was pulled out of the bottom line!

"Well done! Jose! ”

As José Molina fell to the ground, Dick jumped up from the visitors' dugout, raised his arms and shouted!

Molina's save is indeed extremely exciting, the goalkeeper's body is a little chubby, which can be seen from his big face, but like the famous Italian goalkeeper Peruzzi before, the slightly chubby figure can not restrain them from making extremely wonderful saves!

Molina got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and shouted loudly: "Watch the defense, hold this corner!" ”

Dick waved his fist, such a wonderful save, the morale boost can be said to be undoubted, the goalkeeper is in good condition to make a wonderful save, then the defender will be more bold and more assured to defend!

Similarly, there is a certain amount of damage to the morale of Barcelona, and for the side that must win, the opposing goalkeeper has shown such excellent form, which is really not good news for the attacking side!

To add insult to injury, it happened in the twenty-fifth minute.

Figo forced his way through Capdevilla's defence from the right and then crossed, but the cross was cleared by Chamote, and as Barcelona prepared to attack again, their vice-captain was found to have fallen to the ground.

The team doctor examined and gave an answer that left Van Gaal rather speechless.

"I have a thigh strain, and I am tentatively estimated to have two weeks of rest."

With a week and a half to go until the Champions League semi-finals, Figo will miss the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and for Barcelona, although Rivaldo can score more goals, Figo is their most solid shoulder on the right flank, and if he can't play, there will be more problems for breaking down Valencia's tight defence!

Van Gaal waved his hand in annoyance, and then sent on Litmanen to take Figo's place - what a bad luck it has been, since the encounter with Atletico, Barcelona's bad luck seems to have increased!

To say that the overall thickness of Barcelona this season is indeed a bit poor, La Liga can report a list of 25 players before the game, but Van Gaal, who is very self-assured, only reported 20 players, which makes him unable to use rotation well, play more games, and the possibility of injury to the main team is greater, such as the previous Champions Cup loss to Chelsea, which has a lot to do with Guardiola's absence.

However, even so, Figo's absence is irreparable, and Van Gaal is now thinking about how to reduce the impact of Figo's absence in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals......

And yet the game went on.

Barcelona's attack was inevitably affected by Figo's injury, and although Litmanen was also a good player, he could not compare to Figo, not to mention that he had never shown the top form of his time at Ajax since moving to Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to switch between attack and defense.

Or rather, Dick seized the opportunity.

When Figo was stretchered off, he immediately called Belleron on the sidelines, then quickly said a few words to him, and then slapped him on the pitch - at this time Van Gaal was asking the team doctor about Figo's situation, and he didn't notice this, but Mourinho did.

When Van Gaal returned to his position, Mourinho was about to say something, but saw Van Gaal rush out like a fire-breathing dragon, yelling at the visiting team's dugout: "You bastard! ”

Mourinho was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see Dick standing next to the away team's dugout shrugging his shoulders and frowning with an innocent look, as if to say to Figo's injury: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, injuries on the pitch are normal......"

No wonder Van Gaal was so annoyed when he lost his composure, he was already upset by Figo's injury, and Dick was still so provocative......

To put it mildly, Mourinho pulled Van Gaal back to his position, and forgot to tell Van Gaal about Dick's instructions on the field just now, looking at Van Gaal's face flushed, Mourinho shook his head silently in his heart - Dick This guy is really a bit capable, he can make the old Jianghu Van Gaal angry like this, it seems that sometimes it is still very useful to provoke the other party......

While Mourinho was thinking like this, he didn't know that he had made a mistake because he forgot to remind Van Gaal that Dick had just given instructions on the field, and maybe there was some conspiracy - and soon, he found out about his mistake!
