"Barcelona are undoubtedly the best team in football today, I think even Real Madrid fans should admit it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

At the pre-match press conference, Van Basten changed his pride and lowered his posture completely:

"Mr. Pep Guardiola is the most successful coach in football today, he has won great accolades in his first season in charge of Barcelona, which most people have not been able to achieve in their lifetime, and he has made extremely successful improvements to Barcelona's tactical play, making the team's style of play more pleasing and dominant, this controlling style of play has led the trend and is bound to bring about a change in the whole football style of technology and tactics."

"Of course, we must also admit that Barcelona has a large number of good players, because because of their presence, Coach Guardiola's tactics have found a place. Among this group of players, Leo Messi is undoubtedly the best player in football today, and he has dominated the Ballon d'Or and Footballer of the Year for two years in a row, an accolade that few people in the entire history of football have achieved. ”

"I've looked at Barcelona's results this season and they haven't lost a single game except for a second-round defeat to Hercules and a narrow first-leg defeat to Arsenal in the quarter-finals, and I'm so shocked by this report card that I can't even think of any other words to describe how I'm feeling right now."

'In short, the quality difference between Ajax and Barcelona is too big and we just want to play in our own style and learn something from the opponents.

Van Basten's statement was almost a public surrender, and the player representatives who accompanied him at the press conference were also surprised that it was not the club's "official spokesperson" and vice-captain Ronshette, but the first captain Suarez, who had not appeared for a long time.

"I agree with the manager, as a Uruguayan player, I grew up watching Barcelona players play, I have a lot of respect for them, and I have a great yearning for this football temple, and playing with Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, these players is definitely a great enjoyment......

The captain of Ajax almost told everyone that he was desperate to be a part of Barcelona.

The statements of the Ajax coach and captain disappointed the Dutch media who traveled to Spain with the team, but they can only admit that there is nothing wrong with the statements of the two on the cards.

The opposing team not only includes the top three winners of the 2010 Ballon d'Or, but also has a number of players who have been selected for the 2010 FIFA, UEFA and World Cup best teams, so that the super luxurious squad even dwarfs Real Madrid, which has two Ballon d'Or players, and ensures that even if Inter Milan snatches the Champions League title from last season, they are still the favorites to win the championship.

In the face of such a dream team, it is the most reasonable thing for Ajax to obediently bow his head, isn't it?

-

April 6 arrived as scheduled.

Compared to the 50,000-capacity Amsterdam Arena, the 100,000-capacity Camp Nou is undoubtedly a magnificent football temple, and perhaps only their sworn rivals, Real Madrid's Bernabeu, can match it in European football.

Even the visitors' dressing rooms are more spacious and comfortable than Ajax's home team's dressing rooms - after all, Ajax's transfer budget can't even buy a single Barcelona player in a season, and the two clubs' financial positions are completely incomparable.

The huge stands were filled with red, blue and yellow, and less than 3,000 red and white Ajax fans were completely squeezed into an inconspicuous corner by 30 times their home fans, who most likely couldn't find their supporters if they hadn't been told in advance by a staff member......

Long Shute, who walked into the players' tunnel, looked at the opponents who were just a stone's throw away from him.

Vice-captain Xavi, goalkeeper Valdés, four defenders Alves, Pique, Sergio Busquets (cameo), Adriano, midfielders Mascherano, Keita, Andres Iniesta, and forwards Villa and Messi.

The squad isn't flawless, with at least two of their positions clearly not on the same level as the others.

Ronshert's gaze slowly moved over the starters, and Van Basten's final emphasis was still in his ears:

"Pay attention to their left wing-back, Adriano is just a new signing, he and the whole team have not yet reached a good tacit understanding, especially the defensive ability, far less solid than Abidal, plus Busquets cameo central defender, the two of them must be used as a breakthrough for us!"

If Abidal hadn't been suffering from liver cancer, Adriano would never have been given so many appearances since joining Barcelona.

In fact, in some less important games, Pep Guardiola preferred Adriano to play as a left winger, while captain Puyol played at left wing-back, leaving the vacated centre-back spot to Mascherano or Sergio Busquets, because he was not very worried about Adriano's defensive ability.

But now Puyol is out due to injury, and in the face of a striker of Suarez's level, Guardiola did not dare to use the tall and injured little brother to play central defender after all, so he can only let Busquets continue to make cameos.

Sergio Busquets' height of nearly 1.90m is good enough to compete for high balls, but his ability to turn and chase back is not so reassuring, while the other centre-back, Pique, is a tall defender with long legs and slow turns.

The two centre-backs combined ...... For Suarez, who is the best at exploiting the air, it is simply the best gift!

-

In addition to Adriano, another relatively weak player is Seydoux Keita in midfield.

Compared to Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and other midfield partners, Keita's name seems to be much weaker, but when he first debuted, he was able to crush these teammates than all of them, and he was the MVP of the 1999 World Youth Championship!

In this honour, he has won against two opponents named Frank Lampard and Ronaldinho......

If you only compare the glory of the youth team, in the Barcelona team, perhaps only the 2007 World Youth Championship MVP Messi can be compared to him.

But the former MVP can play a core role in other teams in La Liga, but he can only play the role of a substitute player in this star-studded Barcelona team, and he has taken on many defensive tasks with hard work, and his appearances are quite a lot at first glance, but less than half of them are starters, and most of them are inconsequential games when the main team is rotated......

His characteristics are very comprehensive: he can make a simple organization, actively cut forward when attacking, can act as an arrow to grab points, has a decent long-range shooting ability, often acts as a defensive midfielder, and can also meet the requirements of demanding such as Pep Guardiola in terms of technical footwork, coupled with the spirit of hard work and bravery, hard work, and can also win the favor of the manager.

But his shortcomings are also in the word "all-round", he can play almost all positions, but he is not outstanding in all positions.

As a defender, he can't compare to Abidal and Puyol, and as a midfielder, he can't compete with Mascherano who is the absolute main force in Liverpool.

Engage in organization, I'm sorry, Barcelona has Xavi and Iniesta, and his small-scale coordination ability is not as good as La Masia's youth training Sergio Busquets; Compared with speed, no one such as Pedro is slower than him; Compared with goals, he does not have one-tenth of the plum ball king in a season, not to mention that Barcelona's forward line has always been world-class, and no superstars such as Eto'o, Henry, and Ibrahimovic can be shaken by him......

So he can only be treated as a panacea for opportunities when the team has injuries or rotations.

Thanks to the fact that Barcelona has been in full swing in recent years, all fronts have been soaring, and the maximum number of games throughout the year is more than 60, and there will always be injuries or ups and downs in form among teammates, so his appearances are not small.

'This Barcelona team is far from the top, they have too many weaknesses, we touted so much before the game, they must involuntarily belittle us, we can take this opportunity ......"

Van Basten's tactical analysis is still on my ears, and the game has begun.

The home team kicks off first.

Villa, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Mascherano, Pique......

Their passing is so fluid and so fast that they are dizzying, and unless there are no Ajax teams within 10 metres around, few will stick to the ball for long periods of time.

Passing football is a habit they have cultivated over a long period of time, and their unrivalled sense of chemistry has supported them to defeat all their opponents.

Ronshette stared at his letting go, but he couldn't finish the break with a one-kick pass at this pace.

He could only follow Messi step by step, and then watch Barcelona's entire team press up.

Adriano, who Van Basten called "strong in attack and weak in defence", cut in along the left flank, and immediately made a one-two with Keita after receiving Xavi's split pass, and Ajax's De Zeou broke through with ease.

Adriano didn't stop at all, he shook off Van der Wiel with a feint that stepped forward, but he pulled the ball back sharply and swept straight to the middle!

Messi, who was closely watched by Long Shute, suddenly accelerated, and the unparalleled instant explosiveness even Long Shute was thrown away by him!

It's not that he's much faster than Ajax's vice-captain, it's just that he has the advantage of taking the initiative, and the other side of the passive defense, even if they are of the same level, will always be half a step slower in terms of start-up time.

What is half a step long enough to do?

If it's a Chinese player, they can't do anything, even if they give them three seconds, they can't adjust the cross from the wing to be comfortable......

But for Messi, as long as there is room for him to stretch his feet, he can create chances!

Messi didn't make any adjustments, he paddled forward with the pass very casually!

The football flew past Vertonghen's feet as if it had eyes!

A red-blue figure came out from behind him!

When Andres Iniesta, who had finished the anti-offside position, gently pushed the ball into the goal, Ajax's substitute goalkeeper Vermeer hadn't even taken his eyes off Messi.

The whole Camp Nou boils directly!

They chanted the names of the goalscorers:

Andrey ...... Iniesta! ”

Just one minute and forty seconds into the opening game, Barcelona broke through the opponent's goal with a surprise attack!

"Bang Bang!"

Van Basten suddenly felt his cheeks swell!

What weakness?

What weaknesses?

Adriano and Keita were all involved in the attack!

You say you want Barcelona to despise Ajax?

You say you can learn something at Camp Nou in order to paralyze your opponents?

Now you've learned, right?!
