"Drip, Drip, Drip......"

By the time the referee from Scotland blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Van Basten was completely speechless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was even some luck in his heart.

Barcelona's two biggest strikers – Lionel Messi and Villa – didn't even score a single goal, but his side had already conceded three goals in a row in 45 minutes.

When Van Basten is frustrated, De Kuhl, a Dutch TV commentator who has always been unpleasant to him, always sympathizes with him:

"Marco probably doesn't have to blame himself too much, he has done everything he can, Ajax is not an Italian team after all, although they are used to pressing and pressing, but the opponent is Barcelona after all......"

The words of guest commentator Yang Sen may be more direct:

"Before this game, we should have been mentally prepared for a long time, although Ajax has a lot of young talent, but the talent of these people is not at the same level as the players of Barcelona, their best striker is only worth 20 million in the transfer market, and Messi's value is probably more precious than ten Suarez."

Duan Yixuan, who was thousands of miles away, was very pessimistic at this time:

"In the first 45 minutes, both teams had close to seven or three points of possession, 10 shots to 2 and an even more staggering 416 to 103 passes, and Ajax were completely inferior in every way. But there seems nothing wrong with Van Basten's tactics, as he has set up three defensively capable players in midfield, but there is no way to stop Barcelona's attack. ”

"Lonshit, who is responsible for defending Messi, worked very hard, and Messi didn't get too many chances, but Barcelona's overall strength was too strong, and only one Messi was not enough for them to lose control of the game." Zhang Lu shook his head, "What's more, Long Shute can't completely freeze Messi." ”

He was right, and the Ajax midfielder, who had the best one-on-one marking, didn't completely limit Messi.

In order to defend Messi, he will never even participate in the joint defense of his teammates against other Barcelona players, but even so, the Argentine little flea still got a lot of opportunities.

Messi's absolute speed is probably slightly slower than that of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, and his speed with the ball is not incomparable, but his super fast cadence and unique combination of man and ball ability made him play Long Shute like a fool in the 45th minute.

The vice-captain of Ajax, who has been playing professionally for two years, is no longer a rookie, but he does feel like a fool when faced with Messi's dazzling and unguarded changes in footwork.

After playing with a ghost like Suarez for more than two years, Lonshette's ball quotient has already increased significantly, but he still can't grasp Messi's passing rules.

Suarez's many dribbling skills were enough to blow Lonshut's eyes, but when he saw that Messi was still able to perform all kinds of magic juggling despite his strict defense, he realized that his imagination was still too poor.

In this game, Messi rarely strides the ball in a straight line, the football is like being tied to his left leg at any moment, even when he is speeding up, every change is without warning, and Lonshette has no chance to drop his foot at all, and once he does, it is almost equivalent to a foul.

Ronjut remembers the feeling he had against Ibrahimovic, but Sweden's ability to pass is more at low speed, and if he is also running at high speed, he may not be able to get rid of himself, and Messi is even more desperate, because the Argentine doesn't seem to need any conditions to pass.

Although he is better at dribbling with his left foot, Messi's other foot is equally flexible, with the toe, arch, inner instep, outer instep, heel, and soles...... Even the laces on sneakers seem to be able to be used to pass people!

In addition, the balance of the Barcelona Heavenly King is also amazing, and only those who have fought against him can truly know what huge energy is contained in this small-looking and thin body!

Barca's third goal came from a corner near the 40th minute, when Xavi's corner found Pique lurking in ambush on the edge of the box, and the tallest defender unceremoniously smiled.

When the football hit the goal for the third time, many Ajax fans couldn't help but cover their mouths, and the morale of the players on the pitch hit rock bottom.

There are only two exceptions.

Suarez's eyes were red, and Ronshit was angry.

'You did a good job, at least Messi barely got into the box in the first half and didn't score.

Perhaps feeling the disappointment in his beloved's heart, Bergkamp deliberately comforted him.

But Long Shute didn't react, he just lowered his head slightly and walked quickly into the player's passage.

The Ice Prince glanced at Van Basten, who was also pale, and could only sigh.

-

"In the first half we didn't execute our tactics thoroughly enough, Sim, I need you to increase the frequency of the pullbacks and help your team-mates control the midfield ......"

Back in the dressing room, Van Basten began to explain the tactics.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was dreary, with only the head coach's voice echoing intermittently.

Suarez raised his gaze, his eyes looking even redder.

His heart seemed to drip blood: in the first half, De Jong was the only teammate who could help him share the offensive pressure, once De Jong also retreated to defense, even if he grew a few more heads and legs, it would be impossible to overturn Barcelona's entire defense!

"Coach......" he couldn't help but open his mouth.

But no sooner had he said his voice than another voice drowned out.

"Coach, I have an idea, or rather, a suggestion."

The youngest player in the starting line-up, Ronshette, looked up and interrupted Van Basten's lack of confidence in his tactical explanation.

"Tell me about it." Van Basten may have thanked Ronshit for his statement, otherwise he doubted how many people listened to his explanation......

"In the second half, Iyengar came to defend Messi, and my position was forward, taking care of defending Xavi and inserting attack."

Long Shute looked at Enno and said his opinion.

Suarez was certainly happy that someone was able to help him attack, but Van Basten had to ask the most crucial question:

"Defending Messi...... For Iyengar, I'm afraid it will be too much. ”

Other coaches and players are probably thinking this way, and some people even nodded their heads again and again.

Enno didn't show any unpleasant expression on his face, because any player in this world would find it very difficult to defend Messi.

"I know, but all of us work just as hard."

Long Shute shrugged:

"I must admit that with my current ability, it is not enough to freeze Messi, he was able to find three chances to shoot on goal under my pressure, this one-on-one battle, I have failed."

Van Basten did not agree: "But you still gave him a lot of restrictions, his long-range shots were all from outside the box......

'But we're three goals down now and we need to change, coach.'

Once again, Ronshit interrupted the manager's words:

"We can't hold it at Camp Nou! Even the Italian team, which is known for their defense, could not hold out in front of Barcelona for 90 minutes, and if we did not strengthen our attack in the second half, we would only continue to be slaughtered by them! ”

'I also want to be able to strengthen the attack, coach.'

Captain Suarez finally spoke:

"If I had to choose a way to die, I'd rather die in the attack."

Van Basten opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

Since when did he become so conservative?

Why have you almost forgotten the traditions of Dutch football?

He took a deep breath and nodded vigorously:

"Well, young people, let Barcelona see Ajax's attacking football!"

Even if we can't score, at least let the Camp Nou fans see our attack!
