Chapter 0539 Backward
"Rijkaard is still in a daze, and he hasn't made adjustments?" Di Wei said anxiously.
Twenty minutes have passed since the official start of the game.
In just twenty minutes, Barcelona are already three goals behind!
3:0!
Barcelona have conceded the most goals so far this season, just three.
The final score of that match was 2:3 and Barcelona lost.
It was also the only game Barcelona lost in the league.
Why is this so......
Rijkaard pursed his lips, his heart cold.
On the other side, Jose Mourinho sat comfortably in the coach's seat with a smile on his face.
Rijkaard closed his eyes and did not continue to watch the game on the field.
He is not running away, but he has to seize the time to think-
What went wrong?
The game played like this, at least the team's defense must have gone wrong.
Because the central defender Max also suffered a bit of an injury, the backline configuration of this game is a combination of Belletti, Puyol, Oleg and Van Bronckhorst.
The biggest problem was Van Bronckhorst, who lost his position against Kezman in the 17th minute and was successfully cut by Joe Colene in the 19th minute, and both mistakes were scored by the opponent!
"Gio, what are you doing!" Puyol's roar came as expected.
Van Bronckhorst only dared to avoid his gaze.
In the 21st minute, Barcelona had not yet recovered from the shadow of a series of goals conceded, Oleg panicked and hoisted the ball to the front post, Eto'o was unable to grab the spot under the interference of Terry, and the ball was once again snatched by Chelsea.
It was Carvalho who grabbed the goal, who also opted for a long ball.
Unlike Oleg, though, Carvalho found Kezman with the right goal.
It is also a long pass, and the Premier League team is still more experienced than the La Liga team.
If the two sides are also battling at this level of skill, Chelsea will surely be able to beat Barcelona with a wealth of experience.
Seeing Kezman grab another opportunity, Van Bronckhorst was simply numb!
Seriously, they are all teammates from the same country, why are they so-for-tat!
He hasn't been able to get out of the shadow of consecutive mistakes, and as a result, his opponents are constantly attacking him as if they have recognized him!
In a panic, Van Bronckhorst wanted to foul directly!
Kezman saw what he was thinking, immediately dismissed the idea of a strong assault, and as soon as his steps stopped, he passed the ball to Joe Cole.
Seeing him catch the ball, Barcelona's defensive possession suddenly swarmed in! Even Puyol is no exception!
In normal times, they might not have made such a low-level mistake.
But after conceding back-to-back goals, their mentality has gone wrong.
Joe Cole was slightly surprised to see the defenders attracted to him, and then he was overjoyed!
Instead of attacking himself, he pushed the ball back a little further and rushed up himself to block Puyol's forward angle.
In the next second, a blue figure grabbed the landing point-
Duff!
Duff, who was still fighting in the midfield, chose to plug in!
All defenders were drawn out of position, and Duff easily won the chance to score a solo shot.
No goalkeeper can take it lightly in the face of a single goal, except for Buffon.
Valdés, however, is not Buffon.
Even if his form is at the peak of his volatility, it is not at the level of Buffon.
In everyone's eyes, he has never been qualified to match Buffon.
Buffon has a knack for making one-handed deliveries, but Valdés doesn't.
Under the approach of Duff, Valdés had no choice but to attack.
His range of activities is still not small, and he is also full of confidence, and it is for this reason that he eliminated Reina and became Barcelona's starting goalkeeper.
However, just because Valdés dared to attack doesn't mean he can block this ball!
At the very least, as a former European best team player, Duff's level should definitely not be underestimated!
Now he's Arjen Robben's partner, Chelsea's knife, a talented player with outstanding potential!
For the time being, the Red Devils' little Ronaldo is not qualified to match Dafby.
Valdés is also a genius, but defensive geniuses are always helpless in front of offensive geniuses.
As Duff shook two movements, Valdés' turn could no longer keep up.
When he turned around for the third time, Valdés quickly fell to the ground and pounced.
Through the display of the body, it can be clearly seen that Duff just made another feint.
Valdés was deceived......
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”
As the commentator shouted loudly, the home stands were filled with cheers from Chelsea fans.
"Win! We won! ”
It was at this moment that Rijkaard lowered his head.
He was thinking, thinking about the reasons, thinking about the countermeasures.
Is it all the defender's fault that there are problems in defense?
Not!
At the very least, the combination of midfielders Andres Iniesta and Gerard was also full of mistakes.
The first goal started with Frank Lampard stealing Gerrard, and then couldn't stop Duff and Joe Cole, who were also to blame.
Deco was good on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, it was far from satisfactory.
In terms of defense at the back, Makelele on the opposite side is much stronger than all three!
Gerard was not in charge of the attack, and Makelle alone almost killed Deco and Iniesta!
If the attack in the front, especially in the midfield, is not organized, Barcelona is doomed.
Originally, although Rijkaard was dignified about this, he was not too worried.
So far this season in La Liga, Barcelona have conceded no more than 20 goals in total, an average of less than one goal per game!
In the Champions League, Barcelona conceded 6 goals in the group stage, an average of one per game.
However, considering that Barcelona voluntarily gave up the game in the last game, otherwise it would probably be 4 goals in 6 games.
With such a defensive force, there should be no major problems, right?
So, why is this the way it is?
It may seem that Van Bronckhorst has the biggest problem, but it is clear in Rijkaard's eyes that Chelsea have a lot of chances, and it is not just the Dutchman who has the problem!
Rijkaard is not just concerned about his mistakes, but more importantly, why did he make them?
He also started the last game, but it wasn't that bad!
Not only him, but also the other defensive players, all of them are not in good shape and perform poorly.
In normal times, even if Van Bronckhorst makes a mistake, their teammates can wipe their butts well.
But now?
The mistake of the Dutch defender broke all the players!
All of them, something is wrong with their mentality!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in the black swan's mind-
Mourinho's trouble with the referee may not only be to change the referee, but more importantly, to affect the mentality of the Barcelona players!
Two days before the game, the news that Chelsea will be taken care of and Barcelona will be eliminated can be said to be endless!
At that time, Rijkaard was too concerned about UEFA's opinion and ignored the mentality of the players.
It is conceivable that with such rumors, will the Barcelona players be under a lot of pressure?
Including Puyol, this Barcelona team has not actually met too severe tests.
As a result, at the critical moment, these players all turned off the fire!
Aimed at their psychological quality layout, this tactic, wonderful!
Of course, in Rijkaard's mind, it should be described in another word-
Dirty!
In the end, the black swan couldn't hold back and looked at Mourinho at a glance.
The latter smirked triumphantly. Can't find the latest chapter of a book you want to read? cough cough cough, it's not a thing, I recommend a public account, there is a young lady here to help you find the latest chapters, and chat with you!
