Chapter Seventy-Eight: Heaven and Earth Live Together?
"The one who stepped on the horse, I thought there was some clever plan, but it turned out that it was still vulnerable!"
Zhang Desheng really thought Barcelona had some killer feature at first, but as soon as he came back to get the ball according to Mourinho's instructions, Mendieta and Patrick, who replaced Philip as a central defender today, collapsed directly!
Also, Can that Riquelme fight back?
This is really good, but the front waist is a little too slow.
He's the kind of last-starter-first-served, Tai-Chi-like kick, but this set is outdated.
So let him be the big core in the middle, no matter what tactics Barcelona play, the rhythm will seem too slow, because his teammates are not very cooperative, and he himself does not seem to have the ability to advance with the ball at high speed.
That's the big problem, if it's good to just slow down, a lot of times Zidane and Rui Costa will slow down and then suddenly deliver the fatal blow.
But when the team needs to be fast, you can be fast!
And this is Riquelme's biggest problem, then it will be difficult for him to adapt to the development of football.
Zhang Desheng really can't figure out why Van Gaal would fight back and let Riquelme be the ball-carrying core?
In the first 15 minutes of the first half, Barcelona only had two counter-attacking chances, but they did not pose much of a threat at all, as the midfielders were clearly not in the same rhythm and their style of painting was clearly different from Riquelme's.
Both Xavi and Andres Iniesta like to pass and pull in the middle of a while, relying on their dribbling ability to find opportunities to break down or create chances with a sudden straight ball.
All in all, they have to be actively involved in the attack, they have to be able to touch the ball all the time in order to play to their potential.
But Riquelme always took the ball and controlled the ball slowly, relying on his strong body and top-level ball protection ability to attract the defense, and then suddenly delivered a fatal blow when his teammates around him were actively interspersed with running!
This leads to the fact that even if Barcelona has a counter-attacking opportunity, as long as they give the ball to Riquelme, it will slow down the team's counter-attacking speed, and even make him seem too alone.
Porto's quick handover, which is clearly half a version ahead, and the multi-layered outflanking pressing, are actually not very afraid of this last century style of play, especially the last century style of play that teammates are not very coordinated.
"Awesome, this is really a pure single-core kick! If you go to the middle team, it is equivalent to bringing your own system, but going to the top team is equivalent to abolishing the team's original system! ”
Zhang Desheng looked at Barcelona after really taking Riquelme as the core for a while, to put it bluntly, the whole team runs with him as the center, and everyone has to serve him, even sacrificing their own characteristics.
But the problem is that Barcelona's players are not good at playing like this, especially if people don't want to play like this.
You are an outsider, and you actually let all our people in La Masia be green leaves for you, don't you think you are an Israeli?
Xavi and Iniesta will be uncomfortable, they are both used as tools, and if they continue to play like this for a long time, they will both be abolished.
So even if you really put all your heart and soul into assisting Riquelme, it's not impossible to play results, but will players like Xavi and Iniesta be willing to be such green leaves that suppress their talents?
Even if they wanted to, Barcelona wouldn't be willing, and even the Spanish fans had an opinion.
Zhang Desheng will definitely not play with this kind of old core, if he wants to play this style of play Riquelme as a pure auxiliary, then he will definitely force the palace management in less than three days - either he leaves, or I go, we can only keep one!
At that time, he only needs to wave his arms to ensure that most of the players in the team will go to the palace with him, because the players who can play the main team in the top team, who does not have a little bit of their own characteristics and skills, you are the peak Maradona will not let us sacrifice ourselves to cooperate with you.
It can't be helped, they will also be scrapped if they play like this, and the most typical example here is actually the Mendieta opposite.
Isn't this person in Serie A because he was used as a sapper for two years, and as a result, he went from a 9 series supergiant in the top ten of the Golden Globe Awards to a sudden 8 series with no spirituality and no longer in the state.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Deco and Maniche had a wonderful collision with the wall, and then took the ball to the front of the penalty area.
At this time, Barcelona's defensive strength was quite sufficient, and Deco had no chance to play the ball even if he burst into the danger zone, and most of his shots were waves.
But the accident happened at this moment, only to see Zhang Desheng use Patrick's defect of slow turning, suddenly an acceleration and then a sharp stop of the reverse run, and the football was passed in front of him under this fleeting opportunity.
Zhang Desheng did not have the idea of passing the ball again this time, he first turned his back to the goal and cleverly picked the ball into the air, gracefully let Puyol who rushed over to make up for the defense in the crowd, and then turned and volleyed on the line of the small penalty area without waiting for the football to land, and directly pumped the ball to the turf in front of Roberto Bonano.
This is the rebellious thing about Zhang Desheng's chance, his few coherent movements that are actually made in the blink of an eye, each of which will be surprising to find when replaying - it is actually the most reasonable choice, and 0.1 seconds slower may have a different result.
But he made all the right choices in the electric light and fire, and executed every action perfectly.
The last rebound ball was the quintessence of the essence, allowing the attacking enemy goalkeepers, including the defenders who wanted to go to the goal, to make anticipatory saves and interceptions, and the ball finally bounced past the interceptions of several Barcelona players and into the goal.
"The ball is in!"
"It was a real killer goal in the box!"
"We couldn't imagine how he could make so many instantaneous movements in the crowd so quickly and unmistakably!"
"But it's something that the top players have to worry about, and there's some money that only these guys can earn."
"We just have to shout for our team and the genius who contributed this wonderful goal, who wants to go on the pitch and replicate it?"
"Now, listen to the Catalans on the field, this is our home of the Blue and White Dragons, and we will swallow you in one gulp, not even a bone left!"
“……”
Porto's commentary is now inflated, which would not have been so dismissive and humiliating a team like Barcelona just a few months ago.
But now the big guy just thinks it's normal to go back to home and abuse Barcelona again?
We have beaten you 5-0 away from home, so little Barcelona will die obediently!
Barcelona was indeed dangerous at this time, and Van Gaal even closed his eyes directly after seeing the goal conceded so early.
He doesn't have to open his eyes to see the end of today's game, so his end is obvious, it seems that the resignation letter he wrote in advance can be taken out after today's game.
Mourinho didn't celebrate, he sat down on a stool in a rare way.
This can be regarded as a kind of respect for Van Gaal, after all, he is also a famous coach in the prime of life, but he still suffered such a miserable Waterloo in Barcelona.
It gave him the feeling that he was hurting something, not to mention that he was now so glamorous because of Porto's excellent results.
But as long as the team's results pull their hips like Barcelona, then the first one to be pushed up is him, the manager.
Mourinho even feels that he and Louis van Gaal's debut trajectories are similar, both of them have led a top team to great success in the top league that is slightly inferior to the big four leagues, and even Van Gaal has already succeeded first, and he is only on the road to success.
So after seeing Van Gaal go from the Eredivisie to La Liga, from Ajax to Barcelona, he hit such a wall!
He couldn't help but think that if he succeeds in Porto in the future and reaches a higher stage, will he also be like Van Gaal from a successful person to a loser in a blink of an eye?
"This Van Gaal, won't he want to live a long life before leaving?"
Zhang Desheng saw that Barcelona's attack even made him feel very uncomfortable when he saw it, and it was true that he couldn't penetrate Porto's defense, and suddenly had such a thought?
It is no secret that Van Gaal's relationship with Riquelme is strained, and even the direct infighting in the last game was later exposed by insiders.
So Van Gaal, knowing that he won't stay much time in Barcelona, wants to take Riquelme away with him, which seems to make sense?
Of course, no matter what problems go wrong internally, it will be a big positive for Porto anyway.
He even thinks that this Patrick has a grudge against Van Gaal, because the turning speed of this thing is too slow, and the explosiveness is not fast, although the defensive awareness and psychology are much better than the idiot on the court, but when you meet him, it is the same as delivering food!?
In the 23rd minute of the first half, after Zhang Desheng cooperated with his teammates again, he directly turned around and ran out of a line that Patrick couldn't reach.
Mendieta hurriedly made up for the defense, Zhang Desheng knocked the ball back with his heel without stopping, and Deco met it with a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, almost knocking on the door of Barcelona again.
It's already clear that they were beaten to the ground, so what should Barcelona do now?
However, Van Gaal is still closing his eyes and Riquelme is still being watched by players from both teams.
Then there is no way, Barcelona can only find a comfortable position to lie down!
