When Belletti picked up the ball on the right flank from 30 yards from PSV Eindhoven and slowly pushed forward, there was not a single defender around.

Van Bommel got away with a second yellow card and was sent off with a red card, leaving PSV Eindhoven with Vogel left in midfield and his defensive duties were more on Deco.

Not only that, but Belgian coach Erik Gretz made a third substitution for Georgian player Jorgi Gahokidze, still strengthening the team's attacking front.

This has led to a shortage of midfielders.

Yang Hao also took this opportunity to signal Belletti and Aurelio to move forward actively, more to support the midfielder.

That's what Belletti did at this moment.

Deco in front turned his back to the direction of the attack, looked left and right at the surrounding situation, and suddenly stretched out his hand to his left hand, that is, the right side of the court, and the whole person also ran over quickly.

With Joaquin on the right flank, Deco looked like he was going to attack that side.

But Belletti knew Deco's intentions and didn't pass the ball at the first time, but waited for Vogel's reaction.

If Vogel didn't follow, then pass it to Deco, but if ......

Vogel followed!

Almost as soon as the Eindhoven midfielder moved, Belletti immediately followed suit and rushed forward with the ball.

Everyone inside and outside the stadium, including Yang Hao, felt that Belletti would pass the ball and find someone to cooperate at this moment.

Surprisingly, the Brazilian right wing-back burst into the 30-metre zone and suddenly fired a heavy shot.

This sudden shot hit very hard, with a lot of force and a very tricky angle.

As Vogel shifted, PSV Eindhoven opened up a path in the middle towards goal, along which Belletti's shot went straight into the top right corner of the goal.

PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Watrus, who is only 1.85m tall, clenched his fists together and struggled to pounce on the upper right, but could not do anything.

The ball went straight into PSV Eindhoven's goal with lightning speed.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"World Wave !!"

"A sudden world wave from 27 meters away!"

"Belletti! The Atletico Madrid right wing-back knocked on PSV Eindhoven's goal again with a brilliant world wave. ”

"3 to 0!"

"It's unbelievable."

'It was a brilliant shot and PSV Eindhoven's goalkeeper made a save but couldn't do anything about it.

"After Van Bommel was sent off with a red card, PSV Eindhoven, who were playing at home, were completely pressed into the half, but Gretz did not choose to be conservative and continued to press out."

"As a result, we've seen it too."

"Adriano and Pandiani scored one goal each, and now Belletti has another goal, 3-0!"

"It's still away!"

'Atletico almost got to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup with one foot.

……

The goal came suddenly, and Yang Hao's whole person became excited.

He first cheered loudly for Belletti from the sidelines, gave a thumbs up to the Brazilian right wing-back, and did not forget to give the other players an affirmation.

With a three-goal lead, he was very happy with the result.

Turning his head to look at the home team's coach's box, Yang Hao found Gretz standing in the coach's command area with a blue face, while Van Bommel, who was sent off with a red card, was standing at the entrance of the player's tunnel in the distance, as if to show that he was standing with the team in this way.

After seeing Belletti score, Van Bommel crouched down, covering his face with his hands, not knowing if he was crying or what he was doing.

Yang Hao was thinking in his heart, at this moment, did he feel regretful?

The first yellow card is simply unnecessary!

Van Bommel is a player who has the ability, and the strength is also very strong, both offensive and defensive, everything is good, but he plays too dirty and thinks too much.

There are many fierce people on the court, such as Gattuso, who is desperate on the field, but the kick is not dirty.

Van Bommel is different, he really likes to kick the ball, make the tackles and play the black feet.

This is mainly because he is superstitious that in this way he can intimidate his opponent, make him fearful, and thus gain an advantage on a psychological level.

But this is a double-edged sword.

If you look closely at the players who are playing dirty, you tend to be very calm, because they have to remind themselves of what they can and can't, to make sure they don't cross the red line and don't get a card.

If you toss yourself out, then you still play with eggs?

Van Bommel was like that today, completely playing himself off.

Not only did I get rid of it tonight, but the second round was also buried together.

That's why he squatted down and covered his face and cried.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that he is still young.

He is only 23 years old and has little experience with black feet.

Yang Hao was even wondering, after tonight's lesson, will Van Bommel change his ways in the future?

If that's the case, European football will really have one less tough guy.

Well, as long as you don't black-footed the team I coach, I'll praise you!

……

Atletico ended up beating PSV Eindhoven 3-0 away.

Deco was voted Man of the Match, but Belletti and Aurelio also performed very well, especially Edwin van der Sar.

In a way, the penalty that Van der Sar saved made the difference in the game.

Yang Hao was very happy, and in the dressing room after the game, he praised Van der Sar by name.

"Edwin, you let us see the world's top, the great Van der Sar again!"

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he opened his arms, and Van der Sar also hugged his head coach excitedly.

Last year, at Juventus, he cursed his stupidity again and again, why did he give up the invitation of other teams to come to Serie A, to Juventus?

He felt like a brainless fool who had made the worst choice at a critical moment in his career.

But now, he is full of positivity every day, and he is always proud of the choice he made last summer, because he feels that coming to Atletico Madrid was the right decision.

Not only did he regain his confidence here, but he also improved his quality and experience even further.

"Thank you, Boss!" Van der Sar thought about it, and was a little moved.

Yang Hao laughed, reached out and patted Van der Sar's shoulder, "It's your own hard work, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Without you, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be where I am today." Van der Sar said very sincerely and sincerely.

When the other people in the locker room heard this, their eyes looking at Yang Hao became even hotter.

They were all excavated and promoted by Yang Hao at the end of the day.

Now, with Atletico shining in La Liga and the UEFA Cup, they are all benefiting.

In the minds of each of them, Yang Hao is the leader of their careers, playing the most critical and important role.

Yang Hao smiled freely, saw the eyes of everyone around him, and felt the atmosphere in the locker room, and he suddenly felt a lot in his heart.

It has not been easy for the players to get to where they are today; It has not been easy for Atletico to get to where it is today; It is not easy for him Yang Hao to get to this day!

Since it is not easy, you should cherish all this in front of you more and work harder for better results.

"I don't know how to express it now, I feel everyone's intentions, but I want to say that the emotions of these mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law will be collected for the time being."

The players in the dressing room all nodded.

'With a 3-0 win away to PSV Eindhoven, I'm sure everyone can start looking ahead to the semi-finals.

Everyone looked expectant.

A 3-0 defeat at home means PSV Eindhoven need to score at least four goals if they want to turn around on the road.

This is basically an impossible task.

If there is, it's a miracle.

But in Yang Hao's dictionary, the opponent is never given a chance to have a miracle!

"Our opponents in the semi-finals are nothing more than those teams, Barcelona, Alaves, Porto, Liverpool, Vigo Celta, etc."

Looking at this list, does the strength of La Liga see?

In the quarterfinals of the League Cup, there are four La Liga, accounting for half of the country.

Some people even say that if it weren't for the draw, La Liga would have been able to dominate the semi-finals.

"If the semi-finals are drawn to La Liga, I am very confident, if we draw Porto and Liverpool, we will also have the strength to fight, so what I want to tell you here is that it is not yet time to celebrate, there is no congratulations."

"To celebrate, wait for us, when Borussia Dortmund lifts the first UEFA Cup in the club's history, we will completely open our arms and celebrate!"

"If we want to celebrate, we will celebrate wildly with the fans after we win the La Liga championship against the big, star-studded rivals in the same city!"

Everyone in the locker room was ignited by Yang Hao's words.

In Europe, Atletico Madrid has always been a small player who does not enter the stream, a scum team that no one pays attention to.

In La Liga, everyone only knows Real Madrid and Barcelona, who likes Atletico Madrid?

Why does Real Madrid always look down on Atletico Madrid with that kind of lofty posture?

Not only because they are richer and have a royal title, but also because they have a more impressive record and history than Atletico!

They call themselves aristocrats, and Atletico are just mud legs in a dirt pit.

But Yang Hao is now going to lead this group of mud legs, kick that group of noble nobles off the throne, and trample them again!

"Make the final charge to the champions, my warriors!"

"No matter how many years from now, you will definitely be extremely proud of your season, for everything you have done now, and you will be extremely proud!"

……

"What you said just now is so good, I was a little moved to hear it."

Yang Hao left the locker room and on the way to the press conference, Li Luo said with feeling.

He felt that this was the biggest difference between Yang Hao and him.

At critical moments, Yang Hao can always mobilize the emotions of the players and stimulate their fighting spirit.

Therefore, the more he has worked with Yang Hao for a long time, the more Lillo feels that he is not suitable to be a head coach.

But it's good to be like this, it's not so much pressure, it's more focused on training and tactics, which is what he's very used to working in.

"I'm telling the truth." Yang Hao said solemnly.

He never fools his players.

No one in this world is stupid.

Whether your manager is fooling or not, the players themselves can feel it.

Just as Seedorf accused the guests in the VIP of Inter Milan for mocking his wife, there are many things that need not be said or done, but can be experienced with feelings.

If Yang Hao is telling a lie, how can he make everyone listen to him and believe him?

What I don't believe in, how pale and powerless it is to say it, everyone knows.

"What's more, we're going to have a really scary race ahead of us, much better than the first half."

In the first half of the season, Atletico Madrid's most terrifying schedule was to meet Deportivo La Coruna, Real Mallorca, Barcelona and Real Madrid in succession.

And now?

Deportivo La Coruna in the round of 26, followed by the second leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, then at home to Barcelona in the round of 27, followed by two weeks of international fixtures and a trip to the Bernabeu at Real Madrid in the round of 28 at the end of the month.

This was followed by a two-legged UEFA Cup semi-final.

The 29th round is at home to Real Mallorca.

This schedule is just an introduction, it is already so cumbersome, if you really want to play, every game is crucial, there is no room for loss, and if you are not careful, the leader will be next to Real Madrid.

Therefore, Yang Hao wants to give the team another boost at this time.

"If it weren't for the team's results this season, even we were unexpected, I would really think that this is the Spanish Football Federation deliberately trying to fix us and deliberately try to prevent us from attacking the championship." Lillo laughed.

Yang Hao also laughed, it was true.

It's such a.

All the strong teams are crowded together, plus the League Cup, is this still called a life?

"It's okay, let's play a game." Yang Hao said with a smile.

"However, I didn't expect that Barcelona's Ferrer looked like a declining appearance, and he could still hold on to it until now, cow!"

Yang Hao really gave a thumbs up.

In his previous life, he remembered that Ferrer left class early, but Yang Hao didn't remember exactly when class was over.

But Barcelona has been stormy this season, and Ferrer is good to survive until now.

Why don't we give him a ride?

……

Atletico's 3-0 win away at PSV Eindhoven didn't attract much attention.

On the contrary, Deportivo La Coruna, the opponent of the Sheets in the next round of the league, reversed Paris Saint-Germain 4-3 at home in the crucial battle of the Champions League group stage, playing a big comeback.

Trailing by 3 goals, he scored 4 goals in a row.

Just by looking at the stats, you can see that this is a classic of that kind of football, but it really happened to Iruetta's team.

Judging from the process of the game, Deportivo Deportivo's defense is really stretched, but the offense is really good, and there is no problem with the team's overall morale and fighting spirit.

La Liga this season, whether in the Champions Cup or the League Cup, has been very strong.

And if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that all La Liga teams, including Barcelona, play 4231.

In a way, this represents a trend.

Just like Deportivo vs. Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 giants played 442, compared to Deportivo LaCoruna's 4231, their midfield is naturally at a numerical disadvantage.

La Liga has always been known for its passing and technique, and the number of people is dominant, so it is obvious to control the midfield.

The turning point of the game came when Tristan came off the bench.

The Spanish centre-forward is special, he is not the traditional Spanish type of centre-forward like Morientes, he has great technique at his feet and a lot of physical strength to play against him, which allows him to stand up front.

This makes Tristan more suitable for the center forward position of the 4231 tactic.

With Tristan in front, Roy Mackay was able to get more support, and that's what led to the comeback.

And Yang Hao has now seen very clearly that 4231 will be rapidly promoted in a short period of time in the future, and become the key tactical play method adopted by major teams.

442 and the back three will be completely history!

Interestingly, Serie A, which has always been obsessed with tactical empires, turned out to be outdated this time.

The current mainstream of Serie A is still 442 and 352, which is as strong as Silver Fox Lippi, and still hopes to use 352 in Inter Milan, which is why Serie A's European results have been unsatisfactory in recent years.

Some people may wonder, why doesn't Serie A adopt the 4231 tactic?

The reason is also very simple, staffing issues.

For example, Inter Milan, Tardelli plays in the Italian national team with a back four, but at Inter Milan he can only play a back three, on the one hand, the players are familiar, and on the other hand, Inter Milan does not have a suitable left wing-back.

Now Serie A plays in the back four, such as AC Milan and Juventus, all have strong full-backs.

There is also the midfield.

To put it mildly, as far as Inter Milan's midfield configuration is concerned, how to transform 4231, how to row the double backs?

All the head coaches in the world, including Yang Hao, need to have the right players to play any set of tactics, otherwise it is empty talk.

And in recent years, the appeal of Serie A has indeed declined.

……

Returning from the Netherlands to Spain, Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid made a slight adjustment and immediately turned north to Deportivo La Coruna.

Both sides battled hard for 90 minutes in the European competition in midweek, and both took this game very seriously, and both played 4231, which can be described as a needle-to-needle.

Deportivo La Coruna, who was playing at home, tried to play a wave of onslaught at the beginning, but Yang Hao put on a double midfield combination of Graveson and Baraja, and the tenacious defense made Super Laco's attack hit the wall and seemed helpless.

Both teams wasted a very good chance in the first half.

But at the start of the second half, Atletico forced their way down the left, Vicente broke through on the left and sent in a cross, Pandiani received the ball in the box, turned away from the defender, and volleyed a powerful volley into the top corner of the goal, which penetrated Deportivo La Coruna's goal.

1 to 0!

But just eight minutes later, Belleron dribbled the ball on the edge of the box, attracted the attention of the defence, and sent a clever pass, Tristan suddenly got up on the edge of the box and fired a heavy shot to equalize for Deportivo La Coruna.

1 to 1!

In the 60th minute, Atletico broke through and got a corner kick opportunity.

Deco calmly took a corner kick and Lucio's header from inside the box put Atletico ahead again.

2 to 1!

With tall and strong players such as Lucio and Adriano, set-piece attacks have also become a big advantage for Atletico.

Subsequently, the two sides fought back and forth, but neither of them could score again.

It wasn't until stoppage time, as the game drew to a close, that Capdevilla broke through on the left and crossed low to Belleron, who sent a brilliant through-ball that Tristan stopped to get rid of Lucio and hit again.

2 to 2!

Flat!

The whole game can be said to be lackluster, except for the goal, there is nothing to see.

There's not much novelty at the tactical level, it's all the original.

As for what targeted tactics are being said, there is basically nothing.

The season has been going on until March, and they know each other well, if Yang Hao and Irueta can still play fresh, then there will be ghosts.

More importantly, this game exposed the fatigue of the two teams in a multi-front situation.

Neither Atletico Madrid nor Deportivo La Coruna played as well as they should.

A 2-2 score is okay.

Yang Hao and Irueta also expressed their satisfaction with the result at the post-match press conference.

Especially Yang Hao, who fought continuously, and it was away again, and the opponent was still Super Laco, 2 to 2, satisfied.

Of course, if you think so in your heart, you must have a lot of regretful words in your mouth.

We could have won, we played better than our opponents and created more chances......

……

When Atletico drew 2-2 away at Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid thrashed Real Sociedad 4-0 at home.

Barcelona drew 1-1 away at Real Mallorca.

Valencia beat Osasuna 1-0 at home.

As a result, Atletico's lead has narrowed from four points to two.

The strength of the bench lineup can be reflected in this kind of continuous battle.

Even if Real Madrid played with a rotating lineup, they could still clean up Real Sociedad, but Atletico Madrid couldn't.

The main squad is so young, and the bench and rotation squad need to be developed even more.

After successfully narrowing the points gap, the outside world has once again hyped up the title race between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

With 12 games left in the league, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are separated by 2 points, and it is still unknown who will win or lose.

With Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid already far ahead, Barcelona, Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna are all fighting for the remaining two Champions League places, and no one wants to be left behind.

After all, playing in the Champions League, even if it only goes to the group stage, has an income of more than 10 million euros every year, who can underestimate it?

……

The second leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.

After learning the amazing lesson of the first leg, Gretz also did not stick to the 442 tactics of the past, but instead adopted the 4231 tactics, with Kezman at the front of the team's attack.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is still seriously injured, but everyone knows that the Dutch centre-forward is basically going to move to Manchester United once he returns from injury, and Ferguson has been eyeing him for a long time.

Even if he is injured, he has always been waiting for him.

Atletico also didn't do their best in this game because there is still a league game against Barcelona in the future.

In the case of 3-0 away in the first leg, Yang Hao must have to save a little strength at home.

Xavi Alonso and Cambiaso started at the same time, acting as the team's double midfielders.

After 90 minutes of hard fighting, Atletico Madrid beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0 thanks to Pochettino's goal in the 31st minute, and the aggregate score was 4-0.

……

While Yang Hao and his players celebrated their team's qualification to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup at the Calderón Stadium, Barcelona coach Ferrer stood nervously on the edge of the coaching command area at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

His eyes were fixed on the pitch.

The stands behind him, on either side and in the distance in front of him looked sparsely populated, with less than half the spacing.

But at this moment, the more than 40,000 fans are booing wildly.

As fans, this is the only way they can express their dissatisfaction with this game.

It is also dissatisfied with the manager, the management, and the players.

Did Barcelona lose?

No, now the score is 2-1 and Barcelona is ahead.

The aggregate score of the two legs was 4-4, and Barcelona was still ahead.

It stands to reason that they are already ahead and can advance, and the fans should be satisfied.

But Barca's performance was unsatisfactory.

Not even the fans in the stands, even the TV commentators thought, "Ferrer played too conservatively tonight!" ”

"It doesn't look like Barcelona football at all."

Celta Vigo are not fuel-efficient lights, and after winning 3-2 at home in the first leg, they visited Camp Nou in the second leg and were more likely to play defensive counter-attacks.

England referee Graham Babel did Barcelona a big favor by sending off Celta Vigo midfielder Wagner in the 22nd minute, with the two sides still tied 0-0, because he was too big in defense of Ovmars.

Let's not talk about whether the penalty is too harsh this time, let's just say that in this game, Ferrer discharged the three backs of Gerrard, Guardiola and Gabri in one go, and won Rivaldo, which is clearly to play defensive counterattacks.

Okay, now that the opponent has one less person, it's time to press it up, right?

As a result, Barcelona's attack could not be played.

It becomes a very hilarious thing.

Kluivert opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 43rd minute after receiving a cross from Zenden on the left.

At half-time, Ferrer finally made an adjustment, replacing Pep Guardiola and Gabri in one go, and Xavi and Alfonso were replaced.

In the 56th minute, it was Cenden who passed the ball on the left side, and Kluivert scored a goal, 2-0!

But Barcelona seem to be starting to settle for the scoreline.

On the contrary, it was Celta Vigo, who continued to make adjustments and launched fierce attacks on Barcelona one after another.

In the 69th minute, Pablo Coyla scored for Celta Vigo.

1-2, 4-4 on aggregate.

However, Barcelona are ahead of Celta Vigo on away goals.

At this critical juncture, Victor Fernandez showed his bloodiness and toughness, and even kept making substitutions and continued to strengthen the attack.

As a result, there was a very ironic scene in the stadium at Camp Nou.

Barcelona, which obviously has an advantage in numbers and is fighting at home, was pressed and beaten by the away team with one less man.

Ferrer faced Vigo's onslaught and couldn't come up with the slightest effective move.

No one knows, what did he do with Alfonso, who has been sluggish this season, and play soy sauce?

At the critical moment, what is the use of replacing the old captain Pep Guardiola and keeping Gerrard?

The entire Barcelona midfield was completely turned upside down by Celta Vigo.

But the stars in the front court are still slowly waiting for the pass from the backcourt, as if the defense has nothing to do with them.

Not to mention that the Barcelona fans in the stands were very angry, and even the commentator in charge of the live TV broadcast was calling on the Barcelona players to pay attention to defense, and if they couldn't do it, they would press out and strive for another goal, completely breaking Vigo's Celta thoughts.

Who would have thought that Vigo Celta, who was missing one man most of the game, would push Barcelona to this point at Camp Nou.

Ferrer could only stand on the sidelines and pray.

Finally, Graham Babel's end-of-match whistle sounded like a heavenly sound in the night sky at Camp Nou.

Ferrer's whole person breathed a sigh of relief, and the nerves that had been tense for a long time had a feeling of weakness and prostration after being completely relaxed at this moment.

Finally made the cut!

……

Amid the boos of the fans, the Barcelona players left the pitch in embarrassment.

With an aggregate score of 4-4, with the number of away goals, Vigo Celta was eliminated, but the latter was still honorably defeated.

When the players entered the players' tunnel, they saw the club's manager, the former Barcelona captain Barquero, standing not far from the tunnel, greeting them with a smile.

It was only when he saw Guardiola that Barquero took the initiative to hug him.

Ironically, Pep Guardiola's situation at Barcelona is getting worse by the day.

Especially this season, even Champions League qualification is in jeopardy, and captain Pep Guardiola is the first to bear the brunt and must be held responsible.

But he only plays so many times, what is the responsibility?

Finally waiting for Ferrer, Barquero beckoned to him.

The two walked to a remote corner.

"The chairman is back."

Another reason for the anger of Barcelona fans is that when the team is performing so badly, the president Gasparte even goes out on vacation, and he takes the club's public funds and takes his family out on vacation.

Where did he get his face in front of the media, swearing that he loved Barcelona more than life?

Is this how he spends his life?

Ferrer knew what Buckro was talking to him for.

The current situation of the team must be held accountable.

"Just now, the chairman approached us to talk, and many people, including those from the Blue Elephants, such as Laporta, the opposition now has a very big opinion, and they caught one, our results are too bad."

Hearing this, Ferrer opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He had already said what he had to say.

Nobody listened.

At Barcelona, the management is like a mess.

'With the current situation, this summer's reshuffle is inevitable, and the president said that before that, you have to prove yourself again and convince everyone that you can lead Barça.

When Buckro said this, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

It is not Ferrer who is causing Barcelona's current situation at all.

Or rather, Ferrer is indeed not capable enough, but he is not the number one sinner in Barca's current situation.

But sometimes, there are things that need to be taken care of by the manager.

Or else?

Let the chairman, Gaspart, take the responsibility?

"How do you prove it?" Ferrell asked.

He really cherishes this opportunity to coach Barcelona, and even, he could coach La Liga teams alone, and when Barcelona extended an olive branch to him, he did not hesitate to switch to Barcelona, even if it was just a youth director.

He is hungry to do something in the Barca position, he is eager to make a difference.

"I can tell you very clearly right now that all the news out there about our contact with Cooper, Arsene Wenger, Capello and Yang Hao is fake, and we haven't been in contact with any of them, any manager.

Buckro: This is to clear up some rumors from the outside world.

This made Ferrer feel a little better.

Especially if there is no Yang Hao in this.

"What I can also tell you is that Riquelme and Saviola are both real, and we brought out these two stars in the original attempt to appease the fans, but now it seems that it is not ideal."

When results are poor, teams often like to throw out recruitment targets to attract the attention of fans and make them look forward to the next season, which is a common tactic used by all football clubs.

Especially the big teams.

On the contrary, those who have more stable results are doing everything possible to avoid getting involved with other players, lest the military morale in the locker room be unstable and destroy the existing good situation.

Barcelona is now passing the most three stars, Argentine twins Riquelme and Saviola, and Valencia's Mendieta, if these three players can join Barcelona, it will definitely be a tiger with wings.

But judging from the public opinion survey, the feedback from fans is not very positive.

'We're gone in the Copa del Rey and what the chairman means is that you have to do everything you can to win the League Cup and make sure you stay in the Champions League, and if you do those two things, you can continue.

In other words, the top four in the league and the UEFA Cup are indispensable.

Ferrer felt a lot of pressure indeed.

According to the latest results, the top four of the UEFA Cup are Atletico Madrid, Alaves, Liverpool and Barcelona.

According to the previous draw, Barcelona will meet Atletico Madrid and Alaves will meet Liverpool.

It's not easy!

If you want to reach the top four in the league, the next league must race against time, so the 27th round of La Liga will visit the Calderon Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid, which has become particularly important.

On both fronts, Atletico Madrid has become the biggest obstacle in front of Barcelona.

"Honestly, José, both of these goals are very difficult." Ferrer didn't have any confidence in speaking, and his tone was a little empty.

"Of course, but the manager of Barcelona should keep challenging the difficulty, we are working hard for all the titles every season, this is Barça's vocation and what the fans expect from us, isn't it?"

Ferrer was speechless.

He had been mentally prepared for the pressure of coaching a wealthy family, but when it was really pressed down, he really felt that it was so heavy, so heavy that he could barely breathe.

"Atletico are strong." Ferrer was a little helpless.

He didn't say anything, but the meaning was clear, he wasn't sure enough to beat Atletico.

"Come on, that's just Atletico Madrid, not Real Madrid." Barquero was a little angry.

How can a Barcelona manager be so unproductive?

When did the Barcelona coach even feel scared of Atletico?

"You know, how much is Atletico's transfer fee? What is the annual salary of their players? Our two biggest stars in the front line, Kluivert and Rivaldo, both have annual salaries of more than 5 million euros, and their whole team combined, is the annual salary of these two superstars higher? ”

Ferrer opened his mouth to defend himself, but Barquero didn't give him the chance.

"I know, you're trying to say that football can't be compared like that, right?"

Ferrer nodded, feeling aggrieved.

You know everything, you know everything, why do you say that?

"We have the most extravagant attacking squad in the world, Lorenzo, we have the strongest winger attack group in the world, we have top strikers like Rivaldo, Kluivert......"

"Originally, there were some things that I really didn't want to paraphrase, but now, I have to tell you that just now, the opposition Laporta was questioning the chairman, we spent so much money, brought in so many stars, in the end it was not as good as Vigo Celta, and was even forced to shrink in the half like a turtle, afraid of it......"

"Excuse me, what's the point of us spending so much money? How is the value reflected? ”

Ferrer Stopper.

It was an ironclad fact, and he had no argument for it.

He can come up with many, many reasons, but football never accepts any reasons and explanations.

It's just two results.

Lose, fall; Win, stand!

Ferrer knew very well that at this moment, any explanation he had, no reason, was meaningless.

No one will listen, let alone accept it.

The only thing he can do now is to lead Barcelona to achieve the goals that the president has set out.

If he can't finish it, he will roll up and leave.

"I'm also a professional, Lorenzo, I know the problems of the team and I understand your difficulties, but ......"

Barquero has always felt that Ferrer is not a very capable manager.

On the contrary, those who can be selected by Barcelona and hired have basically proven themselves in other teams, and there is no problem in terms of ability.

It's just that, a lot of times, football isn't something that can be solved by ability alone.

It is a team sport.

It's not just the 11 people on the football field, it's the seven on the bench, it's the ones in the dugout, it's in the stands, it's in the office, it's in the training base......

It is a teamwork sport involving dozens, if not hundreds, of people.

Ferrer was very lucky, he came up from the second team at this time and was destined to accept the challenge.

This is also why, last summer, when Barcelona was choosing a coach, those world-famous coaches all shy away.

Because everyone can see that Barça's problem is very serious right now.

Can't see it?

Blue Elephant's opposition boss Laporta can't see it?

Even if that lawyer doesn't understand, Cruyff doesn't understand either?

Don't be silly.

Everyone knew very well what was going on.

But that's the way the game works, everyone has to play within the rules.

Seeing Ferrer hanging his head helplessly, Barquero felt very uncomfortable.

He still has feelings for this Barça team.

"Chairman, let me bring you a message."

Ferrer didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, indicating that he was listening.

'We need a win like the 7-0 win against Athletic Bilbao right now.

"Scenes like tonight really don't happen again."

After saying that, Barquero gave Ferrer a self-satisfied look, sighed again, and turned to leave.

Ferrer was left alone, alone in the dimly lit corridor.

Don't say anything, continue to code words! Kneel and beg to subscribe! Kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Thanks!
