On the evening of April 28, the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

In the 35th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona.

From the moment the opening whistle blew, Louis van Gaal stood on the sidelines with trepidation.

He guessed that Yang Hao might win by surprise, but he never imagined that Yang Hao would be so bold and play against Barcelona from the beginning, which is the rhythm of looking for death.

Who are Atletico in the frontcourt?

Hasselbaink, Solari, Belleron and Aguilera.

But what about Barcelona?

Kluivert, Cenden, Rivaldo, and Figo.

With the star lineup in front, Atletico Madrid can't play against Barcelona.

But Yang Hao just pressed it out, and he was very resolute and thorough, and there was a kind of determination that [if labor and management can't get a goal, they will never go back]!

Van Gaal also guessed that Yang Hao would attack Barcelona's left side.

Before the game, he told Mourinho that Yang Hao, the kid, pretended to be a boy, and when he was at Camp Nou, he replaced Aguilera and attacked the left side of Barcelona, which was obviously intentional and not accidental.

He is very sure that when Yang Hao returns to Calderon, he will definitely pay attention to the attack on the left side of Barcelona.

Therefore, he adjusted the position of Reziger, who did not perform well at Camp Nou, adjusted the Dutch defender to right central defender, and let Puyol play as a left central defender, hoping to use Puyol's versatile characteristics and the Spaniard's speed to suppress Atletico's right side.

But he never imagined that Yang Hao would be so cunning.

To what extent is it cunning?

When Atletico pressed as a whole, Aguilera followed Puyol in an almost porcelain way.

In the 6th minute, Bellerón and Baraja combined to get the ball to Aguilera's feet.

At this time, the Atletico captain stopped the ball and turned past Puyol to send a pass that hit the benefit.

Hasselbaink forced his way through De Boer's defense and followed up in front of goal to open the scoring for Atletico!

At the moment of the goal, the Dutch center forward almost frantically rushed out of the penalty area and ran wildly, receiving the cheers of the Calderon Stadium, and countless people were vying for the name of Hasselbaink.

Van Gaal stood in the coaching area of the away team, looking at Atletico Madrid cheering very depressed, and his heart was quite depressed.

He knew he was being calculated.

The authorities are fascinated, he didn't pay attention to himself, in fact, he didn't have a choice!

What makes Van Gaal even more embarrassed is that Barcelona has not fully adjusted, and Atletico Madrid, who has tasted the sweetness, began to launch high-level pressing and pressing, repeatedly trying to go to the right side, forcing Cocu to actively return to the defense, and the entire defensive center of gravity is tilted towards the left side of Barcelona.

But in the 11th minute, Pablo Garcia suddenly sent a long pass over the top to the left side of the Barcelona penalty area, Solari caught up, stopped the ball, and sent a cross.

In the penalty area, it was Hasselbaink who was grabbing the point, but this time De Boer finally grabbed the first landing point and headed it out.

Cendon stopped the ball on the edge of the penalty area, but before he could stop, he was stolen by Belleron.

Spain Zidane was too chicken thief, and after stealing the ball, he scored a point horizontally.

Baraja in the middle followed, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, and hit directly against the ball.

A furious shot from the right side of the arc from outside the box once again pierced Hesper's goal.

2 to 0!

At this point, the game was only 11 minutes into play.

Atletico Madrid's fast-paced high-level pressing and pressing directly stunned Barcelona!

Whether it was the right side of the opening game or the left side of the subsequent game, it was difficult for Barcelona to parry.

The wide defence of the back three was inherently flawed, and whether it was Rezig or Puyol, the right-footed player played the left centre-back, and the wing defence was more thoroughly exposed.

And Van Gaal only really realized at this moment that he was also calculated by Yang Hao.

After scoring two goals in a row, Atletico gradually slowed down the pressing intensity, and Barcelona gradually stabilized its position.

The game returned to parity.

But at this point, the Sheets retreated and played their best defensive counter-attack.

……

2 to 0!

Yang Hao secretly cheered on the sidelines, especially when he saw the team gradually slowing down the offensive and retreating to play defensive counterattacks, he was more sure and more confident.

From the very beginning of this game, Van Gaal was not selected.

As Yang Hao said before, this looks like two games, but it can actually be one game.

Because it's too close.

At Camp Nou, Louis van Gaal refused to trade for Kluivert, Rivaldo and Figo even after falling behind.

Are these three players doing well?

All three superstars have been okay this season, but in terms of that game, they were all average.

So why don't you dare to change?

Yang Hao guessed that when Van Gaal reached a settlement with them, they had an agreement with each other.

It's normal, both sides take a step back.

At this time, for the sake of harmony in the dressing room, Van Gaal has to ensure that the playing time and position of the three superstars are stable.

Well, the three superstars must be on the line, and Rivaldo must be playing in the middle.

Barcelona will either play as a double striker or play Louis van Gaal's 3331 and let Rivaldo play in the number 10 position.

Either way, it's the latter.

Maybe some people are surprised, can't they play in the back four?

The answer is that Van Gaal has tried to kick 4231, or something similar to 4231, but the results have been mediocre.

Whether it is the combination of Cocu and Pep Guardiola's two midfielders, or changing to others, the performance is not very ideal.

Moreover, Barcelona's traditional gene has always been a single midfielder, the number four position.

In addition, there is another problem that after the Champions League reversal against Chelsea, Van Gaal and Barcelona have tasted the sweetness of 3331, and the loss to Atletico Madrid can be regarded as an accident, because the first leg has already lost 1-4.

In this case, Van Gaal has no choice at all.

Barcelona actually has a regular left wing-back, the famous Sergi, who later retired at Atletico Madrid, but this player has good attacking power and an unforgettable defense.

The most typical is the Camp Nou tragedy that shocked European football in November 97, when Dynamo Kiev led by Shevchenko thrashed Barcelona 4-0 at Camp Nou.

The reason for this tragedy was that Sergi frequently stepped forward, leaving a large gap behind him, and deliberately handball in the 47th minute, got a second yellow card, and was sent off with a direct red card.

But in the years since Van Gaal was in charge, Sergi has remained a regular and his defence has been criticized.

Until this season, in the first dozen games, Sergi still started every game regardless of the league or the Champions League, playing the whole game, but from the 10th round of the league, Barcelona ushered in a wave of troughs, from the 10th to the 15th round, 6 rounds of the league lost 5 games, including a wave of four consecutive defeats.

Sergi became the main culprit in the team's sluggish performances, and since then, Van Gaal has refused to use him again, even preferring to have Bogard play as a left wing-back rather than start.

It can be said that Van Gaal will only play in a back three from any point of view.

And as long as you play a back three, whether it is Reziger or Puyol, or even De Boer or Cocu, there will inevitably be problems with wide defense.

Aguilera is a right-footed player, but he is also proficient with his left foot, which can complete inside shots and passes.

The captain of Atletico Madrid has naturally become the key point that Yang Hao attaches great importance to.

When he was at Camp Nou, Yang Hao just tried it, and the result worked wonders, and when it came to this game, he was more relieved and used it more boldly.

As a result, the opening exploded directly.

……

The two sides entered an even match, and the 2-0 scoreline itself proved that Barcelona were at a disadvantage.

Especially after a long stalemate, Barcelona's attack has always had no way to take Atletico Madrid.

The defensive position of the Sheets Army, since the first game of Yang Hao's coaching, has created a lot of difficulties for Barcelona, and then with the competition again and again, and the addition of Juanma Lillo and others, it has been constantly improved.

It's a relatively stable defensive formation now.

Falling behind by two goals and attacking hard to no avail, Barcelona's play was a little impatient.

Throughout the first half, Barcelona's most threatening moment was in the 41st minute, when Cenden received a pass from Rivaldo, forced a break through Gaspar and crossed from the left, and Atletico's two central defenders couldn't keep up with Kluivert and couldn't grab the spot.

In the end, it was Molina who gave up and confiscated the ball before the Dutch centre-forward, but also collided with Kluivert.

Atletico then began to counter-attack with purpose.

In first-half stoppage time, it was again a combination between Bellerón and Aguilera near the right corner of the box, Aguilera burst into the right side of the box with the ball and was tackled from behind by Puyol.

The Barcelona defenders really can't help it.

He's right-footed, but Aguilera always cuts through his weak foot, making him feel like he's going crazy.

In a hurry just now, I fouled.

Yang Hao looked at him from the sidelines and shook his head.

In 2000, the tackle behind it wasn't serious, if it had been a few years later, it would have been a red card plus a penalty.

Now it's just a penalty, but no cards.

Hasselbaink missed a penalty last time, and this time he saw the old captain create a penalty, so he immediately took the initiative to ask for it, hoping to take this penalty again, and he was ashamed.

The players agreed to Hasselbaink's request after negotiating on the pitch.

The Dutchman calmly set the ball and scored another goal for Atletico.

3 to 0!

Before the end of the first half, Atletico basically sealed the win!

This is something that no one could have imagined before the game.

Before the Copa del Rey 1-4, everyone thought it was an accident, an accidental mistake after Barcelona's multi-line battle, but what about this time?

Again and again, again and again, is that still an accident?

In just over half a month, Barcelona has lost three games in a row to Atletico Madrid, is this still accidental?

Van Gaal has always blushed his face, making it difficult to see what his mood is at the moment, but it will definitely not feel good when he thinks about it.

At the other stadium, leaders Deportivo La Coruna lost 2-1 away to Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo scored in the opening four minutes, but Juanfran received a red card on 12 minutes.

As a result, Deportivo La Coruna failed to win a single victory, giving up the lead.

But Irueta never imagined that Barcelona, the rival who won the championship, would also lose in this round.

Barcelona missed a golden opportunity to catch up with their rivals.

With only three rounds left in the league, Barcelona is still five points behind Deportivo La Coruna, and there is basically no hope of winning the title.
