03, late February, Barcelona, Spain.

Barcelona, who have abandoned the league and are mainly attacking the Champions League, have now fallen to ninth place in La Liga, and this season in history Barcelona did not even finish in the top four.

The results are not good, Barcelona is also full of contradictions, and now they can only rely on the fig leaf of the Champions League to cover their current ugliness.

Antich, the current head coach of Barcelona, also knows that he will definitely not be able to stay in Barcelona in the summer, so now Antici is also doing his best and resigning himself to God. As for Barcelona's intra-squad conflicts? It's not that Antici doesn't want to care, but how does he manage it?

The Dutch are the only ones Barcelona can rely on this season, and whether it's Cocu, Overmars, Kluivert or Frank de Boer, they are all trying to play as much as they can......

However, Barcelona's homegrown players also need to be on top, alas, sometimes managing a team is like commanding an army, and with Antich's talent, if the Barcelona management can give him enough trust, he believes that he can manage Barcelona well.

But what does the Barça hierarchy have to trust Antici now? The team's league results are not good, and it is okay to be left by Real Madrid by more than ten points, but look, now Barcelona has actually fallen to the ninth place in the league!

In the past n seasons, Barcelona has not been so sad for a long, long time.

Antich is now only in charge of tactical arrangements, as for the intra-team conflicts? The players can make trouble if they want, and they can oppose each other if they want, that's what the next Barcelona manager should do.

On the training ground of Barcelona, the players who had just lost to Valencia in the last round were a little depressed, and now the Barcelona players have no idea about the league, maybe only the Champions League can give them the motivation to fight, right?

"Roman, come over here." With two weeks to go until the Champions League quarterfinals with Bayern, Antich is also starting to arrange for the match with Bayern.

In Antich's view, Riquelme, who has a record of meeting Leonwill in the La Liga, will be a key figure in the game against Bayern Munich - and now everyone can see that Leonwill's passing, dribbling and defending have made a fresh change for Bayern.

This fresh change also made Bayern's style very different from what they used to be, and they no longer relied on flying with wings to drop their heads, but began to control the game to seal the win. And the versatility of Bayern's tactics speaks for itself, and the kind of counter-attacking they played against Manchester United is really like an Italian team.

In Antich's view, Barcelona will be prepared to deal with two Bayern teams, one Bayern in the game against Manchester United, and the other Bayern in the league playing control of football.

Antich felt that Barcelona might not have the strength of Manchester United to make Bayern fearful, so Antich was ready to deal with a second Bayern team - controlling the football and using the players in the front court to constantly penetrate deep to end the game.

It's a very new style of play, and the success of this style of play depends on two things, the tacit cooperation between the players and a stable, constantly running midfield core.

Is it tacit cooperation? Bayern's lineup has been running in for a long time, Schweinsteiger was originally from their own academy, in fact, Bayern's starters this season have not changed significantly from last season except for the addition of Leon.

A midfield core that is constantly on the move? One of the scary stats of the new World Footballer of the Year Leonville was written by Italy's Sky Sports last week, that is, his average run per game reached a terrifying 11,000 kilometers! This kind of data is difficult for even those players who claim to be unable to run to death, right? But Leon Will did.

With an average of about 87 passes per game, a staggering 95 per cent success rate, and at least three or more threatening passes per game...... With such a midfield core, Leonwill is simply a machine that has been running non-stop, opening up space for other Bayern players and maximizing the potential of Bayern's other players!

As for Leonwill's personal abilities? He only averages about two dribbles per game, which is a dazzling statistic in the Bundesliga, but it is ...... in La Liga Such data is really average.

In Antich's opinion, the most terrifying thing about the new World Footballer of the Year Leonwill is not his free kicks, assists and world waves, but his non-stop running and passing!

'If he had played in a midfield position, he could have scored more goals and had more assists, but he didn't, but that's the scariest thing about him...... Because his role is to be able to completely motivate his teammates around him, just like Beckenbauer and Redondo back then...... "Although the results of leading the team are not good, Antich is definitely not bad at seeing people, who can do the position of coach of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, who does not have a little real material?"

Antich also feels a little regretful now, because last summer, Barcelona has been chasing Leonwill's ranks, and even Cruyff has come forward more than once to say that Barcelona's number 10 is for Leonwill.

Antich also shook his head as he looked at Riquelme, who is the kind of player who needs the team to tailor his tactics for himself, and he can play at his highest level in the tactical environment that belongs to Riquelme.

However, is it possible for Barcelona to tailor a tactic for a particular player? Unless you're a top superstar, that's pretty much it, but Riquelme is? It is clear that Riquelme is not a top superstar at this time.

Barcelona can't tailor Riquelme's tactics, so Barcelona and Riquelme look out of place, which also makes Riquelme now a parallel import.

However, Leonwill is the kind of person who does not need the team to tailor a tactic for himself, and in Antich's opinion, Leonwill can integrate into any tactic and use that tactic to its fullest potential. That's probably the scariest thing about Leonville, he doesn't need to build a strategy for him, but over time, you'll see that the whole team will play at his pace.

If Leonville had really joined Barcelona last summer, maybe Barcelona would have been a different story now, right?

Xavi is still too young, oh, Leon is also young, but the younger Leon shows that Xavi is even stronger. Maybe in a few years Xavi will become one of the best midfielders in the world, but Antich thinks that maybe Leonwill won't know how many times he won the World Footballer of the Year by then.

No wonder Franz Beckenbauer liked him so much...... A player who can integrate into any team and take the whole team up a notch, his individual ability is not his strongest point, the strongest is his promotion of a team.

River Plate, Argentina and now Bayern.

While Antici was thinking about things, Riquelme had already walked up to him, "Coach, what is the matter with me?" ”

Antich glanced at Quelme: "Roman, you know, I've already started preparing for the Champions League knockout game against Bayern. You've played against Leonwill when you were in the Liga and you're one of the few players in our team who knows him, so I wonder how do you think we can limit him? ”

Leon Will! It's Leon Will again! Riquelme gets angry at the mention of this name!

Who was Ah Jia on the first day? It's him Riquelme! Who is the first player Barcelona to focus on? It's also him, Riquelme! However, Leonwill is like a sideshow, he has stolen the attention of the fans and the attention of the media...... Even Barcelona, who had been chasing themselves, went after Leonville in turn.

Riquelme has always felt that he has the strength to enter the Argentine national team of the 02 South Korean World Cup, he thinks that it is Leonville who has snatched his national team position, and even the World Cup champion, Riquelme feels that he is the one who should lift the World Cup championship trophy!

Why, why Leon Will again! Why did everyone pay so much attention to him and leave me alone?

Now, it's Leonville again, the core of Bayern Munich, Riquelme wearing the Barcelona No. 10 jersey, this hate, the Catalan media calls him a parallel import, Riquelme is not without strength, but the club just refuses to use him as the core to build tactics...... Riquelme's style is too slow, Barcelona's attacking tempo is fast, Riquelme often can't keep up, and his passing, dribbling in the La Liga is useless here......

And what about Leon? This guy actually went to Germany for a sky-high price of 40 million pounds, and at the beginning, when the German media called Leon a parallel import, Riquelme was very happy: Look, your hypocritical strength has finally been exposed, right?

However, Leonwill then exceeded all expectations, leading Bayern to move forward, he became the heart of Bayern, he became the youngest European footballer of the year, he became the youngest world footballer of the year - Riquelme's heart became more and more impatient as Leonwill broke one world record after another.

Riquelme wants to perform, he wants to surpass Leonville, but the more he thinks about it, the worse he does on the pitch.

Gradually, Riquelme found that even Xavi, who came from Barcelona's own academy, had surpassed him, and the club had lost patience with him, and Riquelme sat on the cold bench that he had never thought of......

This feeling, this taste, almost made Riquelme despair.

'I'm not the defensive manager, that's what they have to do, and as for Leonwill, I shook him a lot in the Liga. Riquelme's tone was filled with a kind of pride, a pride that would not bow down when meeting anyone.

This is Riquelme's strengths and weaknesses.

Without this pride, would he still be Riquelme? Is it still that classic front waist?

Antici looked at the arrogant Riquelme, and he frowned deeply, "Roman, the current Leonwill is no longer the Leonwill of a year ago, his progress is beyond the imagination of all of us. ”

"But even if that's the case, the manager, I'm sure I'll beat him!" Riquelme said confidently.

Antich shook his head: "I hope so. He didn't continue to talk to Riquelme, and Antich felt that maybe he had to find other ways to deal with Bayern. Riquelme ...... He really doesn't fit in for Barcelona.
