"The ball is in! Hasselbaink! Three goals in three games in a row! It was a bit of a ...... goal Suddenly. Aguilera's sudden brilliant breakthrough created a chance for Hasselbaink, but the biggest credit for this goal should be Abelardo, from the slow motion it seems that Hasselbaink did not have any foul action, he slipped and fell under his own feet, which allowed the Dutchman to receive the ball in the box without defense, in the face of this situation, Heispp even if he reacted quickly could not make a timely save......"

When the Atletico fans in the stands cheered loudly, Dick jumped up, he half-crouched down in front of the Barcelona coach's bench and shook his fists repeatedly, then straightened up to face the stands and raised his arms high!

He was greeted with loud applause!

"Haha, it seems that Dick is a stingy guy and he is demonstrating against the Barcelona dugout! Of course, there is no conflict between him and the Barcelona coaches, and this move is probably for Cruyff...... However, seeing that Dick only needed three games to win the hearts of Atletico fans, Barcelona may have really missed out on a great manager this time......

Seeing Dick actually demonstrate directly to Barcelona's coach's bench after scoring a goal, Van Gaal's already calm heart became annoyed again.

"This bastard! I'm going to show him what Barcelona is all about! Beneath Van Gaal's seemingly calm face lies a boundless rage......

The rest of the first half went by like this, and for the rest of the game, Atletico continued to languish Barcelona in midfield, making it impossible for them to organise a decent attack, and when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Atletico went into the break with a 1-0 lead at home.

When the Atletico players left the stadium, they were cheered by the fans again, and many of these cheers were for Dick, who naturally took all the orders, constantly waving his arms to greet the stands, and his pride was overflowing.

However, as soon as he entered the dressing room, the smile on Dick's face disappeared.

'We did a good job in the first half and taught Barcelona a good lesson...... But Barcelona must have been desperate in the second half, with Van Gaal's character, I just provoked Barcelona's coach's box, he will definitely respond. Litmanen and Ronald de Boer didn't play well in the first half and I think one of Rivaldo and Figo will play...... Maybe both will play, so in terms of defense, we have to pay more attention to Valdo's long-range shot and Figo's breakthrough and playmaking...... However, these two people will be more beneficial to us when they play, and their control in the midfield will drop a lot, so they will strengthen the pressing of the midfield more and launch a counterattack immediately after breaking the ball! At the start of the second half, catch them off guard! They must have thought we were going to be more defensive in the second half, and we didn't! At the beginning of the second half, play against them! Take possession at our feet and show Barcelona that our attack is just as good as our defence! ”

"Oh!"

Atletico's players shouted one after another, and what Dick said now is more in line with their appetite than the previous defense - after all, they are mainly technical players, and it is not that they can't play defensively, but it takes a lot of emotions or being cornered to be able to do well, and they prefer to attack.

Dick controlled the atmosphere in the dressing room: "But after fifteen minutes of attack, we need to go back to defense to make their attacking players use more energy, you know? Today's game, the league game at the weekend, and the second semi-final of the Copa del Rey next midweek, we can't look at it as three games, we have to play it as one game! What is our goal? It's about beating Barcelona to reach the final of the Copa del Rey, while also trying to get points against Barcelona in the league. Both of these goals are what we need to achieve, and it is not enough to achieve just one. ”

Dick's next words calmed down the Atletico players a bit, admitting that Dick was right – not that winning this game alone is enough, and that there are still four league games to go and at least one Copa del Rey semi-final to play, and it is not a good option to be exhausted in one game.

Kiko sighed inwardly - this is indeed a good coach, a command on the spot, control of the locker room...... None of them are general, but why doesn't he use me? Is it true that I am no longer fit to stay at Atletico? I haven't been in good shape for the past two years, but I'm only twenty-seven years old! Isn't there a time for me to recover?

Kiko looked at Dick with complicated eyes, but Dick didn't notice this, he laid out in detail the offensive method after the start of the second half, and at the same time told the precautions in defense, until after doing all this, he waved his hand: "Rest well, prepare for the second half of the game!" ”

The second half of the game soon kicked off.

Van Gaal did choose to make a substitution at halftime, and he made two substitutions in one go - Rivaldo and Figo all came on the pitch, replacing Litmanen and Ronald de Boer!

Of course, there is some suspicion of willfulness in this, at least Mourinho has raised objections behind the back of the players, but for Van Gaal, Dick has shown such obvious hostility and challenge to Barcelona, if he does not respond, where will his face go?

Iron-fisted managers tend to be self-serving, and the more such a manager, the more he will not change after making a choice!

"Damn, I actually replaced two of them, just right, and I will also consume the physical strength of your two main forces, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome to wait until the weekend league."

Seeing Van Gaal change two people in a row, Dick was not surprised - if Van Gaal calmed down, even if Dick beat Barcelona into a sieve in this game, I am afraid it will not have much effect, after all, if the league loses to Barcelona, it is very likely to affect Atletico Madrid's relegation - you can't expect Numancia to keep losing, in case Atletico Madrid loses to Barcelona in one round, Numancia has another explosive character and wins, and the gap between the three rounds of the league has been widened to five points again, which is difficult to catch up......

Now that Rivaldo and Figo are on the field, presumably Van Gaal is playing in the second half to tear apart Atletico Madrid's defense with a thunderous attack, let you see how strong Atletico Madrid's strength is without shrinking the defense!

To say that Atletico Madrid's offensive strength is naturally not bad, but there is still a big gap compared with Barcelona, but Atletico Madrid has two advantages, first, their morale is very high now, and they intend to wrestle with Barcelona from the beginning, while Barcelona is a little unprepared, even their head coach Van Gaal believes that Atletico Madrid will give up the cup competition to concentrate on the league. Second, Barcelona is preparing to face Atletico Madrid's iron bucket formation in the second half, and almost never thought that Atletico Madrid would launch a crazy attack in the second half.

Another thing that gave Dick confidence – and the first half of the game showed who was getting the form bonus and who was getting the dip in the opponent – Aguilera showed excellent form in that breakaway, the player who had already been selected for the Spanish national team showed similar form in the first half as he was at his peak, and it was clearly the form bonus card that worked, and Abelardo's fatal mistake in the first half proved that the Spanish national team centre-back was not in particularly good form……

For Dick, this situation surprised him, what he did well before was the central axis he set up, they will definitely be the target of Barcelona's key defense, and Aguilera is not very eye-catching, in the second half with him as the focus of the attack will definitely catch the opponent off guard, and Abelardo's poor state is a very fatal factor, think about it, a central defender is not in good shape, maybe when there will be a low-level mistake, what is this concept?

Even if it is a team with a strong defense, it will be a terrible thing for the main central defender to be in poor condition, let alone a team that is average in its own defense, with such a bomb in the Barcelona backline, it is difficult not to concede the goal!

Things turned out as Dick had guessed.

When Atletico Madrid kicked off in the second half, they did not stick to the midfield, but immediately launched a fierce attack with Belleron and Juninho as the core!

Aguilera's position is almost on top of the full-back position - he is replaced by Baraja, the left side is dominated by Solari, plus the scheduling of Belleron in the back and the breakthrough of Juninho in the front, Atletico Madrid's attacking players do not seem to be very special, but they quickly organize a very layered attack!

Barcelona, who was completely unprepared, was suddenly suppressed in the half by Atletico Madrid and couldn't move.

The cheers of the Atletico fans in the stands were like a landslide and tsunami – look at the situation on the pitch right now! Atletico are in possession, in attack! In constant possession, in constant attack! And what about the mighty Barcelona side? What about Barcelona, which claims to be even stronger than the Dream Team? They can only defend passively in the half, and they can't even organize an attack with the ball!

Barcelona was not too vigilant at first, Figori Valdo Cluivertani's four attackers in the front were still waiting for their teammates behind them to deliver shells, but they were directly suppressed by Atletico Madrid, and the front and back were completely disconnected!

In this case, Atletico's attack began to become sharper, and when Juninho's breakthrough attracted most of Barcelona's defense in the middle, the Brazilian quickly distributed the ball to the wing.

On the right flank was Aguilera and he began to carry the ball forward - Sergi, who was broken through by him in the first half, did not dare to slack off this time, and met him in person, with Cocu coming to fill in on the flank, and Rivaldo behind him......

Three-person bag clip!

However, Aguilera surprisingly controlled the ball, and then when a feint to force a breakthrough caused the opposing defender to retreat, he quickly pulled the ball back, and then raised his right foot to pass the ball into the box!

Abelardo followed Hasselbaink this time without moving, but Aguilera's cross was passed a little further back, and Baraja, who was inserted in the back row, jumped high and beat Frank De Boer, who jumped in a hurry, and leaned over to the top!

The ball flew into the goal! Hesp only had time to wave his hand!

Just three minutes into the second half, Atletico surprisingly extended their lead after a furious attack!
