"Ha, well done, Andres."

Yang Hao still stood on the sidelines as usual and hugged the players who walked off the field one by one.

When it was Iniesta's turn, he gave a particularly exaggerated hug.

The surrounding players also stopped to cheer and congratulate Iniesta.

The youngster did quite well tonight.

Iniesta looked a little shy at this time, but there was a smile on his face that could not be hidden.

"Honestly, Andres, you're giving me a big, big problem right now."

Yang Hao's sudden words made Iniesta stunned.

The people around were also stunned.

What does it mean?

"Later, what am I going to do with those reporters?" After Yang Hao finished speaking, he laughed out loud.

Everyone laughed even more.

When you win, you're in a good mood.

Iniesta walked beside Yang Hao, and he could feel the kind of trust and expectation from the head coach for him.

For now, he can't replace Deco in the team, and he can't replace Kaka.

His dribbling skills are more detailed, but he lacks absolute speed, so he can't do it like Kaka, rushing from his own box to the opponent's box and even scoring goals.

It's impossible.

In the past, he has always looked for his strengths.

He learned from Deco, he learned from Kaka, he learned from everybody, he even thought about returning to Barca's number four, and he watched Xavi Alonso play.

But now, all of a sudden, he understood.

I am who I am, Andres Iniesta!

"Andrés, I'm not kidding you now, you have to promise me something." Walking in the players' tunnel, Yang Hao affectionately hugged Iniesta's shoulders and said with a smile.

"You say."

"In the next period of time, I want to 'block' you to the outside world, don't accept media interviews casually, don't talk casually, precipitate well, think about tonight's game, think about that feeling."

Iniesta nodded incessantly.

The so-called blocking, in fact, should be called protection.

"Next, I'm going to give you more time to play, and you have to improve yourself as soon as possible."

After the enlightenment, Iniesta will quickly usher in a stage of rapid growth, and this period is very much in need of competition to train.

It is also a practice makes perfect.

Only when he masteres that feeling of playing and allows his style of play to mature and stabilize as quickly as possible can he be considered truly successful.

It is at this stage that many young players lack enough competition training and end up in the crowd.

For example, the water cooler manager of the current Real Madrid first team, Portillo.

"I have to hurry up and talk to Fernando, your termination fee is too low, it has to be a little higher."

Iniesta was stunned.

Boss, it's 50 million euros, still low?

But Iniesta soon laughed as well and hurried after him.

He could feel that Yang Hao really trusted him.

He really enjoys the feeling of being trusted and the atmosphere at the moment.

One would feel that Deco, Kaka and Iniesta are in competition.

But in fact, they have a good relationship.

Perhaps, that's because Deco knows that he will have to leave the club one day.

Maybe it's to make more money, or maybe it's going to venture somewhere else.

But Deco really knows.

Yang Hao was stunned when he saw Iniesta, and couldn't help but feel funny.

Especially when he followed the players back to the locker room, he found that Drogba and others had already turned over.

There were even a lot of people pulling Iniesta over there and shouting.

Yang Hao stood in the distance, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at them with a smile.

The players' dressing room isn't actually that complicated.

Seeing Iniesta, Yang Hao suddenly remembered a little-known secret.

In the previous life, in the 2006 Champions League final, Barcelona played like shit in the first half.

Henry himself said that he was already going to join Barcelona at that time, so the mood in the game was particularly strange.

In the opening 18 minutes, Lehmann's red card hit Arsenal even harder.

But it was Arsenal who scored first.

At that time, Xavi was recovering from injury and did not play, and Iniesta had performed very well in the previous games, but neither Rijkaard nor Ten Carter trusted him, so he did not play.

Rijkaard played a combination of Deco, Edmilson and Van Bommel in midfield.

As a result, it was terrible.

How bad is it?

Before the first half was played, a number of players, including Samuel Eto'o, had already gone to the sidelines to ask Rijkaard and Ten Carter, "Will Andres Iniesta play?" ”

Because everyone knows that only Deco will be targeted by Arsenal.

Barcelona need Andres Iniesta's quick passing and attack, and he needs to cooperate with Deco to tear cracks in Arsenal's two ribs and create a killing chance.

This is something Van Bommel could not do.

Many felt that this could be the trigger for Rijkaard's loss of trust in the Barca dressing room.

Ahead of the crucial Champions League final, he chose to trust Van Bommel over Andres Iniesta, who had performed well before.

Although Rijkaard and Ten Carter can find many, many reasons for themselves, it is difficult to clear their name for whether they are suspected of cronyism.

And it turned out that without Iniesta, Barcelona played like shit in the first half of the Champions League final.

After Iniesta went up in the second half, he completely revitalized the midfield and helped the team to reverse 2-1.

Therefore, Ten Carter chose to leave Barcelona after the Champions League final and accept the employment of Ajax, which may not be without this factor, because the team's lineup at that time was made by him and Rijkaard.

Yang Hao suddenly thought of this, because he saw the celebration of the players in the locker room, and he was moved.

This group of professional players have worked hard for more than ten or twenty years before they walked into this locker room.

Each of them is extremely strong, but at the same time, they all have a heart that does not admit defeat, and they want to win more than anyone else!

As the head coach of the team, it's more about guiding and helping them.

If one day, the manager becomes a stumbling block to their victory, then sorry, whoever it is, even Ferguson will have to be out of class!

Yang Hao is the same.

……

Iniesta's outstanding performance, after the game, quickly attracted a lot of attention in Spanish football.

In fact, after joining Atletico Madrid for a year, Iniesta's performance was not bad, but he did not take charge as much as this time, and he also staged such a good performance at a critical moment.

A key assist, a planned goal, Andres Iniesta was voted Man of the Match.

In the past few years, Barcelona have sent young midfielders such as De La Pena, Gerrard, Arteta, Sellades, Mario Rosas and many more.

In the summer of this year, Barcelona had a falling out with Arsenal because the Gunners poached a young player named Fabregas from Barcelona's La Masia, which directly provoked Barcelona.

After leaving Barcelona, some of these midfielders performed well, some did not play in the crowd, and some returned to Barcelona after a flash and did not play......

Anyway, there are all kinds of situations.

Iniesta is by no means the best of these people, nor has he reached the heights of his predecessors.

In terms of spirituality, de la Pena's debut years were much better than the current Iniesta; In terms of height, Gerrard returned to Barcelona from Valencia after winning the title of best defender in La Liga; In terms of name, who else has caused more indignation among Barcelona fans than Serrades joining his sworn enemy?

But Iniesta was still on fire.

It's almost a necessity.

All the fans love to see this rhythmic, aesthetically pleasing and gorgeous technique.

They are like touting the newly debuted de la Pena back then, frantically chasing Iniesta.

Genius, savior, future superstar......

All sorts of compliments, like no money, were frantically put on Iniesta's head.

Yang Hao is still very sensible.

In his post-match press conference, he called on all media reporters to give the young players more room to grow.

"He's only 19 years old, and he's still a blank slate, and we just see a hazy outline on it, so we have to be patient and quietly grow up with him."

But not many media outlets are willing to bother with him.

Young talents, no matter what country they are in, in what era, are the most sought after by fans.

The media outside was almost frantically hyped, so Atletico had to do a few things, including banning Iniesta from giving interviews to the outside world, while the club's press and public relations department also communicated with Iniesta's father and agent personally.

The two sides basically reached a consensus.

That is to protect Iniesta!

……

If the hottest news in the last round was Atletico Madrid's 7-0 win over Albacete, then this round is Real Madrid's 7-2 home win over Valladolid.

As the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.

Although, Real Madrid sold Makelele, in addition to Yang Hao, many professionals, including Cruyff, felt that Real Madrid was starting to decline, but if you want the Galaxy Battleship to collapse overnight, it is definitely too much to think about.

The foundation is there, how can it collapse so quickly?

Raul scored a hat-trick, but it was David Beckham who was the protagonist of the game.

Not long after the start of the second half, he assisted Zinedine Zidane to score, but two minutes later, he "assisted" Valladolid striker Losada to score, and later assisted Ronaldo.

It's just, I don't know if this counts as a hat-trick of assists?

Barcelona played away to Albacete in this round and narrowly won 2-1 away.

This also allowed the Catalan media to be hit by the boomerang again.

Before, when Atletico Madrid beat promoted Madrid 7-0, they all felt that Albacete was not very good.

But when it was Barcelona's turn, they had to say that the opponent's strength was indeed not weak.

The schedule of the front and back feet is very similar, and the speed of slapping in the face is too fast.

After three rounds of La Liga, Deportivo led with three consecutive wins, and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia were all unbeaten with 2 wins and 1 draw.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are 2-1 and 5th in the standings.

In the next round, Atletico will host Valencia.

……

On the evening of September 17, Athens, Greece.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid challenged AEK Athens away.

Since he was going to play Valencia in La Liga at the weekend, Yang Hao was still in rotation in this game.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defenders: Antonio López, Marchena, Lucio and Alves;

Midfielders: Marcos Senna behind, Deco and Andres Iniesta up front;

Forwards: Reyes, Drogba and Villa.

Andres Iniesta got the chance to start again, which is also a kind of trust Yang Hao has in him, hoping that he can continue to show better form and stabilize his performance.

From this set of formations, it can be seen that the strategy adopted by Atletico Madrid in this game is not blindly attacking.

AEK Athens head coach Badjevic in this game, discharged the tactics of 541.

Although it is a home battle, it is clear that it is to defend and counterattack.

The coping strategy given by Yang Hao is that the team adopts high-position pressing and pressing tactics, but controls and pulls the ball in the area from the middle line to the 30-meter area, pulling the opponent's defense as much as possible, and then creating a killing opportunity.

Sure enough, after Atletico opened the game, the skillful and swift short and medium passes were very successful in helping the team control the ball and tempo, and at the same time, AEK Athens could not find much effective way.

Without possession of the ball, you can only keep being pulled.

And in the 13th minute, Atletico Madrid's attack on the right, Villa burst into the box with the ball, and won a corner for the team, Lucio hit the header to open the scoring for Atletico.

After taking the lead, Atletico continued to control the situation as always.

In the 36th minute, Drogba and Villa counter-robbed on the spot near the AEK penalty area in Athens, so that the goalkeeper of the Greek team made a mistake in throwing the ball with his hand.

2 to 0!

After that, Atletico were firmly in control of the ball.

Even in the second half, after Yang Hao successively replaced players such as Deco and Lucio, AEK Athens still couldn't change the situation.

It is worth mentioning that in the team's passing and cutting style, Alves' ability to control the ball has been well reflected.

He's a little different from McConn, he's a little shorter and a little worse defensively, but he's more fast and technical.

He was in Brazil, but he was born as a winger.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated AEK Athens 2-0 away and won the Champions League group stage.

In the other game, Monaco defeated Hiddink's PSV Eindhoven 2-1 away thanks to a pass and a shot from Morientes, who was on loan from Real Madrid.

After moving from Real Madrid to Ligue 1, Morientes played just one game in Ligue 1 but shone in their first Champions League game.

This is also related to the fact that the Monaco team trained by Deschamps is good at playing on the wing.

Roten, Cisse and Giuli are all good players on the wing, and there are two strong centre-forwards on the bench, Bam Adebayo and Poolau.

It's just that Evra, the left full-back of the Monaco team that reached the Champions League final in Yang Hao's previous life, is now in the Atletico Madrid team, and the starting point of this game is Norwegian left wing-back Hassan El Fakiri.

……

September 20, Calderón Stadium, Madrid.

In the 4th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Valencia.

At Atletico's home stadium, it was Valencia's players who took the lead.

Just three minutes into the game, Aimar got rid of Xavi Alonso when he received a pass from team-mate Vicente.

With team-mate Mistara away at centre-back, Aimar swooped in from the edge of the box and fired a long-range shot that threatened Petr Cech's goal.

The Czech goalkeeper was forced to make a save and hold the ball firmly.

But soon, Atletico also threatened Valencia's goal with a long-range shot from Torres.

Subsequently, the game began to go into Atletico's control.

Yang Hao arranged Kaka and Baraja to start this game, with Xavi Alonso behind him.

This makes Atletico's lineup look a bit like 433, but a bit like 4231, and the key depends on where Baraja is located.

Atletico are patiently creating chances, and Valencia are equally focused on waiting for their moments.

The situation was thus temporarily deadlocked.

In the 24th minute, Vicente sent a low cross from the left, and Mista's shot was lifted over the crossbar by goalkeeper Cech.

Valencia's ensuing corner was also abandoned by the Czech goalkeeper and the ball was taken out of the air.

After Cech grabbed the ball, he quickly tossed the ball and tossed it directly to Xavi Alonso on the edge of the box, who volleyed the ball in front of Kaka, who had already started in front.

The Brazilian stopped the ball, slotted past Gonzalo and started quickly, dribbling the ball all the way down the middle to the edge of Valencia's penalty area.

The Bat Legion's return speed is also very fast.

Albelda, Ayala and Pellegrino, all three defenders have retreated to the perimeter of the box line, like a wall, in front of Kaka.

The Brazilian was not slowing down, and he was about to hit the top of the arc, as if he was trying to break away from Valencia's defence.

But just when everyone's attention was on Kaka, the Brazilian suddenly split the ball to the right rib and turned diagonally into the left side of the penalty area.

Torres arrived on the spot, met Kaka's pass, stepped directly into the penalty area, instantly rushed past the defense of central defender Pellegrino, and on the periphery of the right corner of the small penalty area, rubbed the inside of his right foot against the football and sent a high cross.

Kaka, who had just sent out the pass, had quickly inserted diagonally to the back point of the front of the small penalty area, and when he saw Ayala coming, he jumped up directly, met Torres's cross, and hit the goal with a header.

"The ball is in!!"

"Kaka!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"In the 24th minute of the first half, Kaka and Torres completed a beautiful quick counterattack!"

"The two Atletico youngsters worked together very well, Kaka sent a split, Torres crossed the bottom, and Kaka scored with a header!"

"What a perfect fit!"

Ayala didn't even jump, just looked up at Kaka, who was nearly 10 centimeters taller than him.

"Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack was played very quickly, 2 to 3 locally, 3 to 5 globally, but it still broke through Valencia's defense!"

After the goal, the likes of Kaka and Torres rushed out of the pitch to celebrate.

The entire Calderón stadium was chanting the names of Kaka and Torres.

These two young players are not only good at football, the key is that they are also handsome, and they are ranked second and third in the list of handsome Madrid guys voted by countless fans, and the fourth place is Xavi Alonso.

As for the number one ...... Not to mention, but you know.

……

Benitez saw Yang Hao shouting excitedly in front of the home team's coach's bench, and when he celebrated the goal, he spat indignantly.

Next Olympics!

"What kind of ability to win games with these talented players?" Benitez was unconvinced.

If you want to compare, let's compare the head coach's housekeeping skills, skills and tactics.

Paco Jesterdam couldn't help but laughed, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

He actually wanted to tell Benitez: These players are all excavated and cultivated by Yang Hao.

But for Benitez, who is obsessed with tactics, he doesn't recognize that.

In his words: Compared with tactics, labor and management have never lost!

"It's too bullying, isn't it? Paco, they were staring at Ayala's height. Benitez was furious.

In terms of targeted tactics, this is actually quite normal.

Ayala's height is indeed a very obvious flaw in the central defender, but his ability is also undoubted.

"What do we do next?" Paco Jesterdam asked with concern.

Benitez is also having a headache about this.

If you press it out, it will be easy to be counterattacked by Atletico Madrid.

Don't press it out, now the score is behind.

"You say, how many treasures is this guy still hiding in the Atletico team?" Benitez asked, puzzled.

It sounded like he was more curious.

In the history of European football, I have never seen a head coach like Yang Hao.

From the perspective of professional technical and tactical level, Benitez really disagrees with him, but Yang Hao's concept is really advanced, and his ability to promote and tap players is indeed extremely strong, coupled with the strength of excellent training players......

How so?

Anyway, it's a contradiction.

It's like Benitez's mood at this moment.

……

The first half was tied at 1-0, with Atletico taking the lead temporarily.

Valencia never dared to be too aggressive when they were behind the scoreline.

Atletico's counter-attacking ability is second to none in European football.

But at the start of the second half, Valencia played a decisive wave of attacks.

Benitez obviously wanted to take advantage of the opening of the second half to grab a wave first, even if he couldn't score, to disrupt Atletico's rhythm and prepare for the next counterattack.

Unexpectedly, in the 51st minute, Evra on the left side of Atletico Madrid successfully intercepted the ball at the feet of Roger López, and then instigated a counterattack on the spot.

The Frenchman single-handedly, with the ball, rushed along the left side.

First, he passed forward to Reyes, and he cut inside diagonally.

Reyes was defended by Cullo Torres and crossed the ball back to Evra.

The Frenchman then passed to Kaka, and the Brazilian took advantage of the situation and sent the ball into the left side of the penalty area.

Patrice Evra is not a tall individual, but he is flexible and fast, rushing into the penalty area to catch Kaka's pass first, only to be tackled to the ground by Ayala who pounced.

The Argentine centre-back accused Patrice Evra of faking a fall, saying he had not tackled the Frenchman.

However, the referee awarded a penalty and gave Ayala a yellow card.

"As you can see from the slow-motion replay, it was a penalty.

Ayala's movements were a step slower, but he didn't take it.

"Because at this point, if he takes it, Evra will be able to hit the door with his feet."

"It should be said that Ayala was mentally prepared for this yellow card and penalty, and protesting with the referee was just his routine stubborn resistance."

But on the sidelines, Benitez was excited, shouting directly at the head coach on the field and the fourth official on the sidelines.

"How is this a penalty? It can't be a penalty! My player didn't foul, why was a penalty given? ”

Yang Hao secretly screamed directly in his heart:, talk nonsense with your eyes open, you are really embarrassed.

Cheating, huh?

Who wouldn't!

"Why isn't it a penalty? It's a penalty! The foul action is so obvious, don't you see? ”

"I really didn't see it, can you see it?" Benitez turned his gun and aimed it at Yang Hao.

"I see it!"

"You, so far away, you can see the ghost!"

"Uncle, if you're old and have bad eyesight, you can't see, it doesn't mean I can't see, okay?"

"Whose uncle are you calling?"

"You, uncle."

"You're an uncle, your whole family is an uncle!"

Yang Hao shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently: "My whole family is just me." ”

Benitez was completely speechless.

, you don't talk about martial arts!

The fourth official on the side was covered in black lines.

Two big guys, you have to quarrel, the game is over, go out and turn left, you can quarrel casually, I don't mind killing one.

But now it's game time, can you stop arguing?

……

Baraja decisively took the penalty kick and extended the score to 2-0!

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid and Valencia continued their battle.

Valencia's overall strength this season has indeed improved a lot, especially in the midfield, and the run-in is getting better and better.

But Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid is clearly superior.

If nothing else, in terms of player quality, Atletico Madrid is better than Valencia.

But according to the commentator, in the last half hour of the game, the most lively scene was actually not in the stadium, but on the sidelines, Yang Hao and Benitez came to quarrel from time to time, making the fourth official almost depressed.

You can't stop it.

But what made him most devastated was that after the game, Atletico Madrid won 2-0, he saw Yang Hao walking towards Benitez.

It's a post-match routine.

But he's afraid.

There was such a fierce quarrel in the game, what if you disagree and start to do it?

As a result, the fourth official followed from afar, ready to step forward to persuade him at any time, and even had a plan in mind.

Separate the two first, then call people, pull them all apart, and don't see blood.

The poor fourth official also took a special look at the more than 50,000 Atletico Madrid fans in the Calderón Stadium.

More than 50,000 people watched.

But what made him completely shatter his glasses was that after Yang Hao walked in front of Benitez, he smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Drinking together after the game?"

"The dog is drinking with you."

"Oh, that's a pity, Ferguson's treasure."

Obviously, Benitez's eyes lit up.

"Forget it, Paco, let's have a couple of drinks."

"Okay."

"Don't go." Benitez said.

"Why?"

"You're my assistant coach, how can you drink with the enemy?"

"It's over, boss."

"That'...... Then I'll go too. ”

The fourth official watched from a distance as the two "bad guys" were talking and laughing over there, where was the slightest tension just now?

I even vaguely heard Yang Hao mention Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Valencia will play Real Madrid and Barcelona in the next two rounds.

Dare to love, they are all in a gang.

The clown turned out to be myself, I can't live anymore!

Next Olympics!

There is no good guy in Spanish football!

All of them are drama spirits!

……

Atletico beat Valencia 2-0.

And in this round, Barcelona drew 1-1 at home to Osasuna.

This once again made the Catalan media fryer.

Because it's really too much of a slap in the face.

As far as the front and back feet are concerned, it may not be a week.

Atletico Madrid had just beaten Osasuna 2-1 away at home, only for Barcelona to draw 1-1 at home.

This gap is ...... Barcelona fans can't stand it anymore.

Rijkaard, what kind of football are you playing?

Deportivo La Coruna beat Albacete 3-0 at home to make it four wins in a row.

But that's not the point.

Outrageously, Iruetta's team was sent off for a second yellow card in the 39th minute when Argentine player Scaloni was sent off at 0-0.

That is, Deportivo La Coruna scored three goals in a row to beat Albacete with one less man than their opponents.

When Yang Hao got the news, he could only sigh with emotion: Super Lako, it's so hard!

Real Madrid beat Malaga 3-1 thanks to goals from Ronaldo, David Beckham and Guti.

As a result, after four rounds of matches, Super Laco continues to lead, followed by Real Madrid with 10 points, and Atletico Madrid is in third place in La Liga with 9 points, second only to the previous two teams.

But after the game, Yang Hao was photographed drinking with Benitez and assistant coach Yesterdam by media reporters, and he jokingly said: "I used a meal of wine to bribe them to help snipe Real Madrid and Barcelona." ”

Of course, no one will believe this, after all, it is not so easy to buy.

What is completely unexpected is that a week later, in the fifth round of La Liga, Valencia sat at home, with goals from Mista and Oliveira, defeated Real Madrid 2-0, giving the Galaxy Battleship its first defeat of the season.

But what was even more unexpected was another match held in the same round.

At the Calderón Stadium, Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona, the main matchup, and both sides struggled to control the ball at the beginning of the game.

Both sides are desperately trying to control the game and try to keep their opponents at bay.

Rijkaard played 433 tactics in this game, but the three midfielders were a three-man combination of Cocu, Gerrard and Thiago Motta, and they were obviously afraid of Atletico's strong attacking firepower and hoped to face Atletico Madrid with a more stable lineup.

Unexpectedly, in the opening 18 minutes, Atletico Madrid's side broke through and created a corner kick opportunity.

Barcelona's entire backline, except for Marcos, who reached 1.84 meters, was all below 1.8 meters.

The result can be imagined, Atletico Madrid took a 1-0 lead thanks to a header from Lucio.

Subsequently, the two teams kept pulling back and pulling.

In the first half alone, Barcelona paid four yellow cards, including all three midfielders.

This can be seen that Atletico Madrid's tactics brought great pressure to Barcelona in the game.

And this pressure finally broke out in the second half.

In the 53rd minute, Cocu was shown a yellow card for a foul while defending Deco, and was sent off directly.

Yang Hao was overjoyed on the spot.

You're welcome, keep going.

In the 63rd minute, Torres received a cross from Reyes on the left side and beat Reziger's header to score, 2-0!

Rijkaard is finally aware of the emptiness at the back.

Patrick Anderson replaced Luis Enrique to strengthen the team's backline, especially high defense.

But Yang Hao also made a substitution immediately, Drogba replaced Evra, and directly put on a double center forward tactic in front.

Atletico's frenzied attack, especially the two points of Drogba and Torres, made Barcelona's backline even more exhausted.

And in the 74th minute, it was Drogba's header ferry, and Baraja hit the goal on the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area, expanding the score to 3-0!

The fans of the entire Calderón stadium went crazy.

It's the rhythm of a slaughter!

What is even more unexpected is that in the 78th minute, Thiago Motta fouled again, and it was an obvious foul for pushing people from behind, he couldn't stop Deco, and he could only foul.

So, another yellow card.

Yang Hao stood in the coach's seat of the home team and saw very clearly that the expression on Rijkaard's face was really changing.

He should regret it now, why put on such a midfield combination?

Thiago Motta also went down.

Rijkaard made an immediate substitution, with Xavi coming on for Ronaldinho.

But at this time, 11 to 9, Barcelona, which was already at a disadvantage, made the situation even worse.

Yang Hao made another substitution, and Iniesta replaced Baraha.

Come on, Xiaobai!

Let Barcelona see how good you are!

In the last ten minutes, the game completely turned into a stage for Atletico Madrid's performance, the scene was one-sided, Atletico Madrid frantically suppressed Barcelona, especially the midfield composed of Deco and Iniesta, and kept creating opportunities for the front.

In the 82nd minute, Kluivert was shown a yellow card for a foul when he returned to the defense.

This is already Barcelona's seventh yellow card in this game, while Atletico only have two.

Then, in the 88th minute, Drogba broke through Barcelona's goal, 4-0!

In stoppage time, Torres scored again, 5-0!

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 5-0 at home with Torres' brace!

This is another Calderón tragedy!

It's been a few times!

……

As soon as the game was over, the whole of Spain blew up.

Almost all of the Catalan media are frantically attacking two men.

One is the referee Arturo, who questioned his standards for law enforcement, scolded him for being a faint whistle, and even gave Barcelona 7 yellow cards and 2 red cards, which is simply outrageous!

"He completely rigged the game and helped Atletico steal three points!"

But after the game, the major Spanish media were analyzing the game, thinking that Barcelona's two red cards were actually fine, especially the second yellow card of Cocu and Thiago Motta, which was a very obvious deliberate foul.

"As Yang Hao said in the post-match press conference, the biggest problem with Barcelona in this game is the mentality of the players."

"The opening with a back three and completely abandoning the pass-and-possession system that the team was good at in the past has had a huge impact on Barcelona, and the players don't know what to do on the pitch."

"It's beautiful in theory, give the ball to Ronaldinho, but the question is, what if Ronaldinho is restricted?"

"In this game, Atletico Madrid used two players, McCone and Baraja, to limit Ronaldinho's inward cut, and to contain the performance of the Barcelona superstar to the maximum, and he hardly created any threat."

"On the other hand, Barcelona's style of play in the back 3 makes their midfield a mess, not to mention organizing decent offensive opportunities, and even defense can't stop Atletico Madrid's attack."

"Then may I ask, what does Rijkaard want to do with such a lineup?"

Yes, in addition to the hapless referee Arturo, another person who has been criticized by the Catalan media is Rijkaard.

It's hard to imagine that Black Swan has only played 5 La Liga games in charge of Barcelona and has already heard the call for dismissal.

Everyone was puzzled by his line-up in this game.

Gerrard, Thiago Motta and Kocu, why did Rijkaard line up like this?

And the most outrageous thing, Barcelona actually got 7 yellow cards and 2 red cards at Calderon Stadium, which is obviously not a technical and tactical problem, but a problem with the mentality of the players.

What is the reason for this?

Outsiders certainly don't know, but the 0-5 defeat made Barcelona's situation even more difficult.

So far this season, 5 rounds have been played, and as a result, Barcelona has only won 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Rijkaard explained that Barcelona did not face weak opponents at the beginning, such as the draws against Osasuna and Sevilla, both of which are at the top of the league this season, let alone Atletico Madrid.

However, the Catalan media retorted that against Athletic Bilbao and Albacete, Barcelona also won by 1 goal, and the performance was not very good.

The home team was drawn, and the away team had won the weak team before, but against Atletico Madrid, they lost a 0-5 and lost all the previous two wins.

Just after Barcelona's loss to Atletico Madrid, the newspaper Ace was the first to publish the news.

Herard was on his phone in the dressing room after the game and was dropped from the squad by Rijkaard.

Immediately, other media outlets followed up, saying that Gerrard's phone call was complaining about the team's poor line-up.

Of the three midfielders, he was the only one who did not carry a red card.

But the academy midfielder, who was already in a difficult situation at Barca, completely annoyed Rijkaard, who made it clear that the use of mobile phones was banned in the dressing room.

This is clearly not an isolated case.

Rijkaard's coaching resume has long been questioned.

He was most illustrious in leading the Netherlands to the semi-finals of Euro 2000, but 8 wins, 12 draws and 2 defeats in 22 games were equally unacceptable for the Netherlands.

Subsequently, he coached Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie, with 4 wins, 12 draws and 18 losses in 34 games, which directly allowed Sparta Rotterdam to be relegated to the Eredivisie with the penultimate place in the Eredivisie.

But who would have thought that just one year later, Rijkaard would become the head coach of La Liga giants Barcelona.

He is not a Barcelona celebrity, he does not have a brilliant coaching resume, he has not even played much in La Liga in his career, and he is not familiar with La Liga.

Many Barcelona fans have raised their own questions: why did the club appoint such a manager?

How much effort did Cruyff do behind this?

No one knows the answer.

Including Yang Hao.

Even after he crossed over, he couldn't understand why Barcelona chose Rijkaard.

And the facts have also proved that after Rijkaard stepped down from Barcelona, his coaching was also very unsatisfactory, and he even stopped leading the team.

If Bosque at least proved himself in the later Spanish national team, what about Djekaard?

Yang Hao didn't know.

But Barcelona often seem to do such things that don't make sense.

All in all, this season's La Liga ...... It's kind of interesting!

In order to save my life, I will explain in advance that both yellow and red cards are real. Kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Thanks!
