Carlos? Rexach, the great star of Barcelona in the past.

I don't know when did it start, many Barcelona people like to compare their children with their rivals Real Madrid, for example, they like to say that Reina is Barcelona's own Casillas, they like to say that Puyol will become Barcelona's Hierro, and this season, they will say, Carlos? Lexage is the Bosque of Barcelona.

There is no doubt that in terms of results on the football field, Lexage surpasses Bosque, because he was one of Cruyff's most effective teammates in the Europa League, but in the field of coaching, Bosque, who has already made a name for himself, is not comparable to Lexach.

But one thing can be said, Lexage and Bosque's encounters are a bit similar.

Lexage as Barcelona's former meritorious service, after retiring from the army, he entered Barcelona's technical department to work, and later served as an assistant to Aragonés and Cruyff, in 1991 Cruyff had surgery for heart problems, during which he was led by Lexach, and the results at that time were 9 games, 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which was very good.

In other words, the most glorious season of the first phase of the Barcelona Dream actually has an important credit for Lexach.

A few years later, Cruyff was sacked and it was assistant coach Rexage who put out the fire, but was soon dismissed because Barcelona chose Bobby? Robson and Rexage are back in the youth team.

Many people who are optimistic about Lexage feel that his situation is very similar to Real Madrid's Bosque, they have fought fires a few times and shown their strength several times, so they are optimistic that Lexage can become Barcelona's own Bosque and lead the team to end the turmoil and usher in a revival.

Today's Barcelona is divided into two factions, one is the traditionalist, led by former President Nunez and others, and the other is the reformist, led by Cruyff, but the two factions are almost incompatible with each other and attack each other.

The traditionalists believe that Cruyff's reformers can only say but not do, saying that they are invincible in the world, but they don't have the courage to risk their own honor, but the reformists believe that the traditionalists don't want to change the current power structure in Barcelona at all, and they are a bit stubborn, especially because many decisions lack foresight.

The battle between the two sides has become more and more fierce in the last two years, especially the reformers, who have become more and more powerful, and have enshrined Cruyff as sacred, believing that Barcelona should listen carefully to Cruyff's advice as a thin man.

In Spain, thinness is a symbol of wisdom, and the thinness represents the saint.

The war of words between the two sides has already been raging, and Barcelona coach Ferrer complained to the media before last season, believing that the club's technical adviser Rexage wanted to force him to step down, and Rexage has been interviewed more than once to express his ambitions for the club's manager.

This season, Rexage finally sat in the position of Barcelona coach, the outside world sees this as Gaspart's tilt towards reformers, and also sees this as a victory for reformers, and Rexage himself is also ambitious to do something in the position of Barcelona coach and make himself famous in history.

But some things, seemingly simple, are actually far more troublesome than imagined.

Lexach imagined when he first took over the team, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha did not appear, on the contrary, he encountered the same situation as Ferrer, and even his league start was not as good as Ferrer, who was 2-1 in the first three rounds of La Liga, while he was 1 win and 2 draws.

The head coach of the big club seems to be beautiful, but the pressure is too great, and countless media and fans are staring at you, and if you show even the slightest flaw, they are enough to eat you alive.

The chairman Gaspart personally oversaw Amsterdam, and he knew better than anyone what this meant for Rexage, because he had used this to pressure Ferrer many times last season, and now it is just a turn of feng shui, and he has also tasted the pain that Ferrer tasted last season.

Because this is a game that must be won, Rexage made a gamble in this game, replacing the new Argentine teenager Saviola with Ovimas, who is more familiar with Kluivert, in the obvious hope that Overmars, Rivaldo and Kluivert can form a more threatening trident.

In midfield, the goalkeeper is Bonano, and the backline is Koko, Cristanwal, Frank? De Boer and Puyol, Gabri, Xavi and Cocu make up the midfield, and Xavi has been in the position since Pep Guardiola's departure.

Ye Qiu's lineup is also unambiguous, the goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the backline is De Jong, Kivo, Lucio and McConn, and the three players in the midfield are Keita and Gilberto? Silva and Sneijder, while the front trident is Arjen Robben, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Donny van der Vaart.

Purely from the perspective of the arrangement, Ye Qiu did not have the slightest conservative mind, but discharged a formation that was both offensive and defensive.

However, it is obvious that Ye Qiu still has a certain fear of Barcelona's strong attack and organizational ability, so Ajax's start did not adopt the usual fast impact style of play, but appeared to be more patient and more stable to start the game.

Ajax's quest for stability naturally gave Barcelona the upper hand, and they got off to a very good start at the Arena Stadium, dominating the pitch from the start, frequently using both flanks to threaten them.

On the left side is the combination of Kokoga Ovemas, and on the right side is more of a press on right-back Puyol, this Barcelona youth player has performed very well after sitting in the main force this season, with a tough and ruthless style, fast speed, full of physical energy, is a good player on the wing, and has also been praised by many Barcelona fans.

Watching the Barcelona players control the situation on the field, Gaspart, who was sitting next to Van Praag on the podium, smiled, and Rexach in the visiting team's coach's box often smiled like a chrysanthemum, looking very sure of victory.

Especially when the game went on in the 12th minute, after a long attack, Ajax finally showed a flaw, Barcelona used Gabri's forward insertion on the right side, and after forming a combination with Puyol on the back, he went down to the bottom line, Gabri crossed from the right and hoisted the ball in front of the goal.

Kluivert was at the back post, Rivaldo rushed into the front post, trying to outflank the goal, but fortunately the central defender Kifu stood up early and cleared the ball with a header, but immediately after, Cocu's long-range shot from the edge of the box made the entire Arena Stadium break out in a cold sweat, and everyone couldn't help but lose their voices.

The ball is almost grazing the bottom line of the upright, if it is a little further to the left, the ball will definitely go in!

'It was the most dangerous scoring opportunity Barcelona had since the game began, with Rivaldo and Cocu both just one step away from the goal, so we can't help but sweat for the Ajax defence!'

"Ye Qiu's opening tactics are a bit incomprehensible, on weekdays, Ajax takes advantage of the opening to seize the opportunity, but now it is a bit of a steady and steady situation, allowing the situation to be dominated by Barcelona, although this is a fear of Barcelona's attack, but if they continue to attack like this, it will be very unfavorable to Ajax!"

"Perhaps, Ye Qiu should consider adjusting his tactics!"

…………

…………

"Adjust now?"

Ye Qiu, who was sitting in the coach's seat of the home team at Arena Stadium, couldn't help but smile when he looked at the anxious expressions of Roland and Ricklink, and Bobby, who was sitting next to Ye Qiu? Harms is calm and calm, even if this old-timer loses the team by a big score, it is estimated that he still has this expression.

"Too early!" Ye Qiuxia judged.

"It's still early? The doors are about to be broken! "Roland was a little nervous.

It's the European Cup, boss!

Whether it is the players of the Ajax first team or the group of coaching staff, almost the vast majority of them are participating in the European Champions Cup for the first time, and the fact that the match between Ajax and Barcelona is broadcast live around the world is enough to make everyone feel a pressure.

In this group of Ajax players, except for Van der Sar, the other players are all appearing in the European Champions Cup for the first time, this is their first appearance on the highest football stage in this professional league, Ye Qiu had expected that many players were under pressure before the game.

If you continue to use the strategy of attacking after the start, Ye Qiu can be sure that with the mentality of Ajax players, it will not have any effect, on the contrary, Ajax may have a mistake, and Barcelona with excellent attacking ability will seize the loophole, which in turn will cause the goal to be conceded.

On this occasion, in this atmosphere, under this kind of pressure, what kind of consequences will be caused by losing the ball first, Ye Qiu dare not guarantee!

Therefore, in this game, he would rather sacrifice the initiative, but also ensure that the team's defense is solid, and first stand firmly on his heels, so that he is qualified to talk about how to defeat the opponent.

From the players to the coaching staff, Ye Qiu could feel that many people's hearts had become impatient, including Roland.

"Isn't the door broken yet? Let's talk about it when it's broken! Ye Qiu said with a smile.

He is also very nervous, he has played in the League Cup, and he has won the championship, but it is the League Cup, and the Champions Cup are two completely different competitions, what player in the European professional league is not more proud than to participate in the Champions Cup?

As the head coach of the team, Ye Qiu must remain calm and rational, and at the same time need to give everyone confidence, so he can't be in a hurry, not only can't be in a hurry, but also has to show composure and calmness at all times.

Think about it, who would believe that a guy who is so anxious to jump on the sidelines that he will make a calm and rational judgment?

"You ......" Roland was so angry by Ye Qiu's words that he almost didn't vomit blood, he was in a hurry when he dared to love, he didn't care at all.

Bobby on the side? Harms stood up and patted Roland on the shoulder, "Don't worry, wait!" ”

I waited for nearly 10 minutes.

It's really strange to say, Barcelona almost dominated the first 30 minutes, and launched several threatening attacks and shots, but they failed to break through Ajax's goal, and among all the shots and attacks, it was the closest to the goal in the 12th minute.

Barcelona controlled the situation on the pitch and launched wave after wave of attacks, but the threat was getting smaller and smaller, and one of the important reasons for this is that Ajax's players have gradually adapted to the atmosphere, rhythm and pressure on the pitch, and they have begun to play with a more relaxed mentality.

After all, everyone has an innate ability to self-regulate and adapt to their emotions.

On the contrary, after a long period of attack, Barcelona's mood was a little impatient, and they began to try some more aggressive style of play, among which the right-back Puyol's side was the most active, and the Barcelona right-back frequently pressed forward to participate in the attack.

Ye Qiu also realized this, walked out of the coach's bench, and came to the sidelines, everyone who was familiar with him knew that he was going to personally participate in the adjustment and command of the team.

Soon, Ye Qiu made an adjustment, signaling Ajax's midfield not to shrink back so far back and press back!

And his gesture is to remind the Ajax players to counter-attack and play on the left flank, looking for Robben.

…………

…………

Sometimes, the relationship between people is really strange.

In the dressing room of Ajax, many people like to say Ibrahimovic, when the Swedes first arrived in Amsterdam, they were once so poor that they didn't even have money for food and gas, and they were forced to go to Ye Qiu's house to eat for three months, but this kid just likes to fight with the head coach.

But this is just the appearance, when it comes to the critical moment, Ibrahimovic is the first to stand up and support Ye Qiu, but if you want to talk to Ibrahim about Ye Qiu now, he must still have a lot of complaints and complaints, no wonder?

Robben seems to be very flamboyant on the court, but in private, he is not at all.

For head coach Ye Qiu, he is neither as loyal as Abidal, Lucio, Sneijder and Van der Vaart, nor as complex as Ibrahimovic, he is more of a simple and simple trust.

If you want to trace the origin of this trust, it should probably start from when Robben was still in Groningen, Ye Qiu visited his house and took out that heavy technical evaluation report, that was the first time Robben felt Ye Qiu's understanding and trust in him, and then when he arrived at Ajax, Ye Qiu entrusted him with important tasks as promised, and everything was a logical thing.

Gratitude, perhaps, but not to the point of being grateful.

Trustworthiness is a kind of accumulation over a long period of time.

After each game, Robben will receive a match analysis report from the coaching staff, which contains his highlights and mistakes in the game, even for the national team games that are not within Ye Qiu's responsibility; Before each match, he receives an analysis report of his opponent, which collects all the information about the opponent for the next match, as well as some details and situations that Robben needs to pay attention to in the game.

Every week, Ye Qiu would pick out time to have one-on-one private communication with the players, but he never cared about and interfered in the private lives of the players, even after Robben's weekly league, he secretly ran back to Groningen to secretly meet his little girlfriend, Ye Qiu never interfered.

"As long as you can do what I want you to do on the pitch and meet my requirements, I can do the rest, because I believe you can handle it yourself!"

This is the most common sentence in the locker room, when many people mention communicating with the head coach, Ye Qiu says the most.

Other managers may just say that they like to interfere with everything about their players, they like them to be puppets, they are at their mercy, and if possible, they even want to get a specific report of what they do with their wives and girlfriends a week, when they do it, and for how long.

It has been said that trust is built on mutual respect!

Robben believes in this statement, he may not be as loyal as Sneijder and others, or maybe not like Ibrahimovic, who will take the initiative to stand up and support Ye Qiu at a critical moment, but he will definitely meticulously complete the task assigned by Ye Qiu.

This is his work ethic, and it is also his trust in Ye Qiu.

And Ye Qiu almost never doubted Robben's strength, and entrusted important tasks to Robben again and again, and Robben never disappointed him, completing the task again and again.

He believes that this time will be no exception!

Therefore, when Ye Qiu said that he wanted to fight back from his side, Robben chose to believe it without hesitation, and then, every time Pujol pressed, Robben always transferred to Puyol and Frank just right? In the gaps between De Boer, waiting for a pass from a teammate behind him.

This kind of waiting is aimless, you don't know if your teammates will be able to pass the ball, you don't know when your teammates will be able to pass the ball, and maybe they will never be able to pass, because the head coach is likely to adjust the tactical play and the direction of attack again for a long time, and all the efforts and waiting before have been in vain.

But Robben still repeated the same move over and over again, and every time he tensed his nerves and was fully prepared, because he didn't know when the ball would come, but he knew very well that he had to be ready before the ball came.

It was trust that allowed Robben to run and sprint again and again on the field, although again and again to no avail, but as long as he had another chance, he began to run and sprint again.

It's right to trust the manager, trust your team-mates to understand your intentions, trust your team-mates to pass the ball......

It's not just Robben, other players, players in every position, such as Ibrahimovic, when Robben moves, he also follows the corresponding moves, which is a tacit understanding and a kind of trust.

Sometimes, the feeling of a player on the pitch is not alone, but as a component of a high-speed machine, and it is precisely this trust that makes the machine run at high speed.

Therefore, when De Jong poked the ball to Kiv, and after the Romanian central defender got the ball, Rivaldo, who was rushing to the ball, was a long-distance pass, Robben came out like a sharp arrow and quickly penetrated the entire Barcelona backline.

At the same time, Ibrahimovic in the middle and Van der Vaart on the right also pressed forward for the first time, Keita and Sneijder in the midfield rushed forward quickly, and Ajax's entire counter-attacking system launched the fastest and sharpest counterattack in the shortest possible time!

This simply cannot be done without mutual trust!
