Chapter Thirty-Eight: Conquest of Camp Nou!
The Real Madrid fans who came from afar let out a huge cheer, and the distant city of Madrid thundered with joy!
Alice excitedly shouted at Tang Jue: "Honey! I love you! ”
Fu Yajun, who was beside Alice, shouted in Chinese: "Tang Je, I love you!" ”
Alice understood, but there was no jealous expression on her face, the "love" in Fu Yajun's mouth was not love between men and women.
……
In the command area, Schuster nodded and applauded, he was completely immersed in the joy of scoring at the moment, putting the battle between the two behind him. Not far away, Rijkaard applauded Don's brilliant goal after being disappointed. In the stands, after a short silence, the Barcelona fans gave Tang Jue thunderous applause.
They're here to watch the action. Barcelona and Real Madrid fans have this tradition and they applaud an opposing player whenever he performs well. However, it is not easy to get the approval of the discerning ones. Zinedine Zidane has conquered Barcelona fans, and Ronaldinho in his prime has also conquered Real Madrid fans.
Without exception, they conquered the opposing fans through their wonderful performances. Now, Tang Jue has conquered Barcelona fans through his wonderful performance!
……
Tang Jue raised his head and roared in the thunderous applause!
Henry and the others flew over happily, and Casillas shook his fist in his penalty area in celebration......
Puyol listened to the thunderous applause of the home fans and looked at the goal in frustration......
In the VIP seats, Blatter applauded and said loudly in Platini's ear: "He's the same off the field as he is on the field." It's all unreasonable. ”
Platini heard Blatter's words, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "There are too few players with personality in football now. Think about it back then, Maradona was unruly, and he didn't win the love of fans in the world. Players with strong personalities are more likely to be recognized by fans. Cantona is loved not only by Manchester United fans, but also by fans from many other countries. ”
Blatter shook his head and said, "It's good to have a strong personality, but pay attention to proportion, he did a little too much." ”
Platini knows that Doubratt likes the kind of players who don't have negative press, such as Beckenham, and he has said privately many times that Real Madrid's release of Beckenham this season was a huge mistake.
Platini's brow furrowed slightly. There is foreboding in the heart. Could it be that this one is going to shoot at Tang?
……
In the VIP seats, the senior executives of the two clubs had different expressions. The Real Madrid hierarchy was excited, and Calderón hugged Baldano next to him. The Barcelona hierarchy is frustrated, President Joan Laporta and Vice President Sandro ? Russell. The face was gloomy. The first half has been played so far. Barcelona except for Ronaldinho's shot. Barcelona did not create any more threats at all.
If they continue to play like this, it is very likely that Barcelona will lose the game. If you lose this game. They will almost lose the possibility of competing for the La Liga title.
The game restarted under the complicated psychology of the Barcelona leadership. Barcelona began to put pressure on Real Madrid, but their style of play remained unchanged, looking for opportunities through possession and short passes. Real Madrid's players knew that there was not much time left in the first half, and they pressed aggressively to deny Barcelona a chance to shoot.
The clock was fast ticking, and after three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Players from both sides walked to the dressing room, where they were to rest. Calderón resisted his inner urge and did not go to the dressing room of Real Madrid. He decided to go to mediation after the game.
……
ESPN began to sum up the first half: "Barcelona's attack was completely contained by Real Madrid's tight pressing and did not show the level it should have. Real Madrid's defence has been doing well, with Casillas making a great save to keep the back of the net from the side. ”
'Real Madrid's attack was divided into two phases, and in the first ten minutes of the game, they used long passes to organise the attack, which obviously did not work well. Don and Henry couldn't get a football at all, let alone shoot at all. After that, Real Madrid adjusted their tactics and attacked with short passes, which worked well and they were given three good shots on goal. ”
But it was Don who really solved the problem, breaking through the encirclement organized by five Barça players with a quick counter-attack, bypassing Valdés and sending the ball into the empty net. This is Don's typical way of scoring goals, very direct, very deadly, and makes people feel powerless. ”
"Barcelona should be more active in the second half, with more through passes, less crosses, and more shots on goal in the hope of breaking through Real Madrid's goal."
……
In the home team's dressing room, the atmosphere was depressing.
Eto'o nagged: "Hey, if that one-on-one ball had been me, I would have scored." That goal went in, and the situation was not the way it is now. ”
His words were full of complaints about Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho's face sank and he said: "Who doesn't want to hit the ball in the goal. Hmph, what you are saying now is easy, if it were you, you might not be able to score. ”
The two quarreled like this, and Puyol shook his head and sighed, there have been too many such arguments this season. Rijkaard shook his head and said loudly, "Alright, you two don't talk about it. The past is in the past and we're thinking about the second half now. ”
Eto'o glanced at Ronaldinho and said loudly to the manager: "Coach, I think in the second half we have to adjust the direction of our attack, we can't always put it on the left, we should put it on the right. ”
Barcelona's attack on the left is the main Ronaldinho, who is Barca's biggest card right now. Eto'o's meaning is clear, Rijkaard should abandon Ronaldinho and use him as the heart of the attack.
Ronaldinho's face was very ugly, and Messi lowered his head and looked at his toes. He couldn't talk about such a thing. Rijkaard began to dissuade Eto'o: 'You did a good pass in the first half and almost made a goal. In the second half, we had to continue to play in style, pass high quality balls and contribute to the team. ”
Eto'o glanced at Ronaldinho proudly and said: "I can pass the ball, I'm afraid someone will waste another chance." You might as well pass me a few more shots like that. I'm sure I'll be able to score their goals! ”
Ronaldinho's face was gloomy enough to wring the water, but he didn't speak. That one-on-one goal didn't go along, and he was already behind in momentum.
The Barça dressing room was in chaos. The Real Madrid dressing room is not calm at the moment.
After a brief period of pleasure, Schuster returned to the dressing room, his face gloomy. The player has changed tactics without permission, he has lost control of the team, and now he wants to regain control.
'Taking a lead in the first half was good for us. You did a very good job defending in the first half, stifling Barca's fluid passing. In the second half, we had to continue like this, with our bodies and our skills. Constant physical contact with Barcelona players. Their physical confrontation is average. ”
His voice changed and he said, "As for the attack...... Why do you want to change it without permission? ”
Schuster couldn't help himself anymore and couldn't afford to let this continue. If that's the case, what's the point of him as a manager?
In the event of a conflict between a player and a coach. Players will fight back in their own way. Tang is no exception. Most of the players choose to be not active in the game. The team's results can be imagined, they are venting their frustration through failure. The manager will undoubtedly take the blame for the team's failures, so that the players do so in an indirect way. Completed his own counterattack.
But Don is by no means such a person, the football he pursues is the football of victory, so he chooses to resist in a different way. He lobbied and persuaded his teammates to go on a rebellious path together, adjusting his own tactics during the game. It's a way to overhead a manager.
Seeing Schuster in trouble at this moment, Tang Jue knew that he should come forward at this time.
"It was my idea. If you have any opinions, you can directly address them and do not blame them. Tang Jue looked at the coach and said.
Schuster frowned and asked, "Do you have to go to the opposite side of me?" ”
There was joy in Vanney's eyes, and now his chances of playing were few and far between, with Tang Jue and Thierry Henry occupying the position of the main striker in the starting line-up. He only started in a few unimportant games and spent more time as a substitute. If Tang Jue and the head coach have a stalemate, he will have a chance to occupy the starting position.
Tang Jue shook his head and said: "I have never been on the opposite side of anyone, I stand on the football field just to win." Your offensive tactics are a mistake in this kind of weather, so we need to change our tactics. But you didn't give the order to change tactics, so we had to change it ourselves. ”
"I know that you will be very uncomfortable when I do this, but this is also a helpless thing. Aren't you after winning football? ”
Turning his focus to the philosophy of football, he hopes Schuster will understand what they are rebellious for. He didn't ask Schuster to forgive him, but he wanted to have a clear conscience.
Ruud van Nistelrooy exclaimed: "You don't change the subject, you just have to be on the opposite side of the coach!" ”
Tang Jue frowned, looked at Fanny and said, "I think at this time, you'd better not jump out." You're a veteran player, you've had a great time, and now you're old, and it's about uniting the team, not splitting it. ”
Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Casillas quickly stood up and persuaded more players to participate in the persuasion. In this way, the clashes in the locker room were temporarily suppressed.
Tang Jue didn't put Fanny in his eyes at all, in his eyes, Vieira could do it, and an outdated Fanny was not worth thinking about at all. Anyway, I already have most of the strength in the locker room in my hands.
……
No one expected that the two giants of La Liga would have an argument at the same time at halftime.
The second half of the game came as scheduled, and Tang Jue showed a good competitive state at the beginning of the game. Eighteen seconds into the second half, Sneijder kicked the ball in the air and found Henry on the penalty line. Henry did not seek to stop the ball, and directly used his chest to pass the football to Tang Jue on the left.
The second half had just begun, and the Barcelona players did not fail to get into a competitive state. Tang Jue took a step forward, shook off Puyol, who had not yet fully concentrated, raised his right leg and swung it towards the football!
Tang absolutely wants to volley directly!
Puyol seemed to come to his senses all of a sudden, quickly raising his right leg in an attempt to block Tang's shot path. However, his reaction was still slow.
"Smack! ......" made a crisp sound, Tang Jue's right ankle hit the middle and upper part of the back of the football fiercely, and at the moment when the football left the ankle, the ankle was suddenly lifted!
After the crisp sound, the ball flew over Puyol's right foot, like a cannonball, from the left side of the goal into the goal!
The ball is in!
Two to zero!
At this moment, the time displayed on the big screen of the stadium is twenty-one seconds!
It was a lightning goal! (To be continued......)
