Chapter 107: Discipline (First Update)

Rijkaard frowned as he looked at the Lazio players in celebration.

For seventeen minutes before that goal, Barcelona, who had the better game, did not get anything to match their quality.

In the game, although they pressed Lazio, everyone could see that it was Lazio who were more threatening than Barcelona.

What does this mean?

Illustrates that Barcelona is completely limited by Lazio!

It was only then that Rijkaard focused on the winning back three.

A formation that looks ordinary, but unexpectedly, it hides a killing ......

The deployment of the back three makes Lazio's midfield particularly powerful and tough.

This was something he hadn't expected at all before.

He thought Lazio's three midfielders were just about strengthening the defence.

But I didn't expect Lazio's defense to be like this......

It's tough, it's not like you're playing football, it's like you're playing rugby......

Physical contact is commonplace, and it is not uncommon for people to turn on their backs.

At first, Rijkaard didn't realise what kind of problems this kind of defense would cause his team.

Now he realized, but it was a little late.

His team has conceded a goal......

With Lazio on the upper hand, with a goal in hand, and then they used their mastery of the ball to keep the ball firmly at their feet and start delaying the game, there really wasn't much better for Barcelona......

Although it is shameless to do so, it is such a shameless delay in the European Super Cup. will bring yourself into disrepute.

But Rijkaard is fully convinced that Chang Sheng can really do it, he is really shameless, he can really be shameless......

But when the game resumed, Rijkaard breathed a sigh of relief.

Lazio did not control the football to pass back and forth unexpectedly, delaying the game. Instead, he continued to give up possession of the ball and shrank in the backcourt to play defensive counterattacks.

When Rijkaard saw this scene, he came to the sidelines, signaling the players to be more attentive when attacking. If you lose the ball, you immediately go to the front court to surround and break the ball for a second attack.

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the control of the second drop point.

※※※

Rijkaard's idea was good, and he surrounded Lazio's ball-carrying players in front. Forced Lazio to make an active mistake.

After all, no one's players are robots that never make mistakes. As long as enough pressure is applied, they will all make mistakes.

The idea is true, but it's not the same in practice.

Lazio's players are certainly not infallible robots, but they are not fools either.

Will wait for the Barcelona players to come up and drive them into a dead end.

When they have the ball at their feet, they don't have to go through the complicated passes of the central midfield, but send the ball straight forward with a long pass.

Even if the Barcelona players tried to interfere with their ball with close pressing, it would not have been very effective.

Because Lazio's players are always the first to get the ball out of the danger zone.

At this time, the kick that they have worked in training makes a difference.

It only takes one or two very quick passes to put Barcelona in check.

"Jose. Passarella gets the ball at the back. The Barcelona players rushed forward...... Passarella quickly shifted the ball out! ”

"Beautiful! Under the bag clamp of two people. Inle still picked out the football......"

They thought they had surrounded David. Silva...... But Silva came out like a loach! ”

Lazio's players are young and inexperienced, but they also have the advantage of being young, that is, they are physically fit and have a strong fighting spirit.

They are better runners than Barcelona.

Rijkaard's Barcelona are the Dream II team, and this team is not yet dominant in European football.

Essentially. His team is no different from other teams, except for the technical skills of the players, such as Deco, Xavi and stars like Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o.

Most of the time, it's the stars who play to their abilities, not the tactics.

Rijkaard's tactics were not ahead of their time. There's nothing innovative about it, he's basically copying the mad dog tactics that often wins, and it's still version 1.0, and he hasn't copied it yet.

Because his training and execution ability is far worse than Chang Heng.

So the team's ability to run is actually not as good as Lazio, who are always winning.

Let's take the simplest example.

When Ronaldinho was in Valencia, he didn't dare to be lazy in training every day and would definitely do his best.

The same is true in the game.

At that time, some media took a photo of Ronaldinho after summoning the jersey with others after the game, and the photo showed Ronaldinho ** piercing his upper body, holding Deportivo jersey in his hand, and his muscle structure can be clearly seen.

The six muscles of the abdomen are angular and well-defined.

But after arriving in Barcelona, relying on the fact that he had already won the treble and his fame was soaring, he obviously began to desert in training, and in the end it was perfunctory.

And Rijkaard's training is also problematic.

This can be seen in the attitude towards Ronaldinho.

The attitude of the two managers towards Ronaldinho is completely different.

In order to kill Ronaldinho's arrogance, Chang Sheng would rather put him on the bench and put the 30 million bought reinforcements away.

That is until Ronaldinho bows his head to him.

And what about Rijkaard? In training, the talented Ronaldinho has the privilege of being able to train only with the ball and not be involved in anything else.

Something like this would have been unimaginable in a winning team, and it really happened in Rijkaard's side. Perhaps because Rijkaard was a genius himself, he was particularly able to understand the ideas of geniuses. And the constant victory is in the era of professional players. He once gave up his dream of being a professional player because of his lack of talent, so he didn't believe in talent, he believed that hard work could make up for it.

In this training state, Ronaldinho was also able to help Barcelona win the Champions League, and Chang Sheng had to sigh at the strength of the Brazilian's talent.

It's a pity...... Such a talented player ended up falling for a lack of self-discipline.

In fact, in terms of talent, even Messi and Cristiano. Ronaldo is not as good as Ronaldinho, that is a real genius.

But Messi and Cristiano. Ronaldo is more willing to work hard and more professional than Ronaldinho. So later the two younger generations surpassed the old ones.

※※※

Under the strict requirements of Changsheng usually. Lazio's players were able to quickly get the ball to their team-mates, no matter what they were facing. This made them very calm even in the face of Barcelona's siege.

For the players who were in the Lazio team last season, they even disdain.

Barcelona's players couldn't be better. Can it be more powerful than a dog!

Through counterattacks after counter-attacks, although Lazio had less possession than Barcelona, they still had more dangerous shots on goal than Barcelona.

Rijkaard's adjustment did not help the team turn the tide of the situation.

Again and again, Deco and Ronaldinho fell into the muscle forest of Lazio players and couldn't get out.

Ronaldinho, who usually has a smile on his face when he plays, has gradually become serious.

Seriousness doesn't mean Ronaldinho has to give it his all, it means he has a headache......

Another striker in this game, Messi, is working very hard, but Messi at this time is far from being the "successor of the football king" in the future, and he can't help it without the support of his teammates.

Moreover, at this time, Barcelona's tactical core and focus are on Ronaldinho, who has possession of the ball. Messi is just a foil by Ronaldinho's side. Now he is only a small role, and he looks very dim next to Ronaldinho, and he will definitely not see that he will be the superstar who won the World Footballer of the Year four times in a row in the future......

Even Chang Sheng himself didn't see him as a player who needed to be guarded against.

Messi at this time is not worried.

※※※

Barcelona's attack has been slow to improve, and after they were limited by Lazio's tactics, the whole team could not perform.

Lazio is getting smoother and smoother. The more you fight, the more confident you become.

In the fortieth minute, taking advantage of a corner kick, Lazio's central defender Jose. Passarella grabbed the point in front of goal and flicked the ball into the goal with his head!

2:0! Lazio leads by two goals!

"It's unbelievable! Lazio lead Barcelona by two goals in the Super Cup! ”

"Is this still the Champions League champion Barcelona? It's really suspicious......"

"Jose. Passarella! The lion shakes its head! The perennial winning team has a two-goal lead! ”

"In the first half, Lazio led Barcelona by two goals! I just want to say it now...... Chang Zhen is the nemesis of Barcelona! Throughout the first half. Barcelona didn't have a single threatening shot on goal! There was over 160 per cent possession, but it didn't work at all! Rijkaard's Barcelona is no match for Lazio at all......"

"Thankfully, the first half was just a few minutes away and hopefully at half-time Rijkaard could come up with something that worked...... But looking at the way he's now, I doubt he'll be able to take it out......"

"Obviously, Chang's tactics were very successful and caught Barcelona off guard. Who would have thought that it would be so common to use defensive counter-attacks in this game? Barcelona were ill-prepared for this and Rijkaard did not make any targeted changes throughout the first half......"

"It's funny to think about the rhetoric that Barcelona will get revenge...... Is this how Barcelona is revenge? ”

Amid the ridicule of the commentators, the first half was finally over, and Lazio led Barcelona 2:0!

It was a score and a scene that most people didn't expect before the game.

Before the game, everyone swore that Lazio could not beat Barcelona, and Barcelona would succeed in revenge.

Now they don't think it's possible for Barcelona to win this game.

Lazio's execution is too strong, the manager does what he says, and he doesn't discount it at all.

Facing such a team that has been so efficient can only make people feel hopeless......

Barcelona are at the underdogs, and that's normal.
