Five Hundred and Nineteenth 3rd Ball
Falling in love with youkanshu.com, starting from coaching Real Madrid
Begiristan sat in the stands, frowning and looking solemn.
He didn't know that at this moment, not far from him, the area where the Italian coaches gathered, was discussing the match tonight and how similar it was to the classic decisive battle 15 years ago. .
But it was also true in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of that game involuntarily.
Really similar!
And, more and more like!
Although he is a famous Barcelona legend, although he is now the technical director of Barcelona, Begiristan is not actually a Catalan.
He is from the Basque Country in northern Spain, debuted at Real Sociedad, played for Barcelona for seven years, experienced and witnessed the rise and fall of the entire Barcelona Dream Team, and then returned to Deportivo in the north, and later, He went to Japan.
Many people think that he is the core force of Cruyff's Dream Phase I and a capable soldier, but in fact, many of his concepts and ideas are different from Cruyff's. He is still the northern Basque hero. The blood of the lion.
This allows him to see and feel more.
At the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Barcelona was a complete defeat.
Although Baresi and Costacurta, the two main central defenders of AC Milan, are absent, but Barcelona's offense still has nothing to do with them. Let Barcelona's attack completely misfire.
Romario and Stoichkov are more individual performances, and the team can't find a familiar rhythm at all.
Yes, rhythm!
Whether it is Cruyff or Guardiola, they are only good at playing in a special rhythm of the game that they are familiar with. As long as they are in this rhythm, they can play very smoothly and be invincible.
However, if there is an external force to force them out of the familiar track and rhythm, they will find that their ability to adapt is really poor, and they don't even know how to play football.
Capello's team completely blocked Barcelona's offensive firepower in the first half and scored two goals through two counterattacks.
This made AC Milan completely relaxed, but Barcelona was anxious.
Less than two minutes into the second half, Savicevic scored the third goal with a lob from almost no angle.
By that moment, Barcelona had completely collapsed.
Begiristan also vividly remembers that Cruyff replaced Savicevic shortly after his goal.
He was replaced by Eusevio Sacristan, a short midfielder, in the hope that he could strengthen the team's midfield control and help Barcelona stabilize the midfield.
Ironically, a few minutes later, Albertini assisted Desailly to score a goal.
It was precisely the midfield that Cruyff wanted to strengthen, and was once again completely smashed by AC Milan from the frontal battlefield.
That game can almost be said to be the worst defeat in Barcelona's history, and Begiristan also clearly remembers the powerlessness of all Barcelona players on the pitch.
It's like at this moment, when facing Naples at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Barcelona doesn't know what to do.
We are already two goals behind, we must attack.
But the rhythm of the game was completely off the channel he was most familiar with. Naples defended with ease, and at the same time was ready to launch a sharp counterattack to penetrate Barcelona's defense.
Attacking is very risky; if you don't attack, you will die!
The most frightening thing is that, as a pass-and-control team, the most taboo thing for Barcelona is to be anxious.
Patience is a psychological quality that a pass-and-control team must have, but the question is, how can there be no hurry now that the scene is two goals behind? How can you not be nervous? How to stay calm and calm?
The answer is, really no way!
Players are people too, they are not machines.
This becomes a contradiction that cannot be reconciled.
At times, Begiristan felt that Guardiola resembled Cruyff in many ways.
They are all like philosophers and thinkers, always thinking about all kinds of complex issues, always persistently pursuing the best and most beautiful football in their minds.
The only difference is that before that final, Cruyff was really disdainful of AC Milan, believing that Barcelona's victory was inevitable, while Guardiola played against Gao Shen tonight and was particularly unconfident from the very beginning.
As for why he was not confident, Begiristan could understand.
His body has been deeply imprinted on him.
If there is another fiasco tonight, then Guardiola will be embarrassed when he encounters the profound in his life.

After a two-goal lead, Napoli had almost one hand on the big ear cup.
The goal was a big blow to Barcelona, but Guardiola still had no idea of adjustment.
In fact, now he doesn't know how to adjust.
Going back to four, three and three is equivalent to returning to the style of play in the first half. The key is that there is one less Yaya Toure in the back line.
Once adjusted in this way, the morale of the team will be hit even more painfully.
The biggest problem now is in the midfield.
Barcelona's midfield can't stop Napoli, especially when Webber's enforcement of physical and fouls is more lax than La Liga standards, which is equivalent to helping Napoli to have more physical contact with Barcelona.
Guardiola himself has played in Serie A, so he knows very well how Serie A players use the rules and how to control the scale of fouls.
The most obvious one, so far, after more than 60 minutes, there has been a yellow card in the audience.
That's what Pique got for a foul on Cavani, besides that, Napoli fouled a lot, but got a card?
nonexistent.
Yes, Napoli did not even get a yellow card, which is simply outrageous.
But it's the truth!
If Webber is partial to Naples, it is a bit unreasonable. The most important thing is that Naples are very good at grasping the referee's law enforcement standards.
In this regard, Barcelona is indeed inferior to its opponents.
In this regard, Barcelona is in addition to protesting, in addition to putting pressure on the referee, there is really no good way.
And Guardiola has a vague feeling that Webber doesn't seem to like this way of protest from Barcelona players.
Thinking of this, Guardiola is also quite helpless.
Even worse, time is still on the opposite side of Barcelona.
It's not that Guardiola didn't think about it, going to fight Naples to the death, but he wasn't too sure.
With the ability of high-level defense training, once Barcelona is desperately pressed, maybe they can seize the advantage in the situation, but it is not easy to break the goal of Naples, but it is their own back line...
...
Just when Guardiola was distressed, as soon as Messi in front pulled back to get the ball, he was immediately trapped by Thiago Motta.
The Brazilian midfielder's performance tonight was very eye-catching. Although Messi did not concede the ball, he was forced to pass back to Iniesta, but Rakitic also blocked Iniesta for the first time, forcing Xiaobai Had to cross the ball to the left to find Sylvinho.
But just when Sylvinho received the ball, Sanchez suddenly jumped out from the back and intercepted the ball.
Both Sylvinho and Iniesta were shocked and immediately counter-robbed on the spot.
But after Sanchez took a step back, he quickly passed the ball to Rakitic, who ran to the neutral position for the first time, and turned and rushed forward.
Iniesta couldn't care about Sanchez, and immediately rushed to Rakitic.
The Croatian midfielder made a cross to the middle. Thiago Motta came forward to catch the ball. After stopping, he glanced ahead and kicked a half-high ball directly to the middle of the top of the arc in the penalty area.
On the right of Cavani is Pique, behind him is Busquets, on the left is Puyol, and there is a Xavi chasing back in front, surrounded by Barcelona defenders.
But the Uruguayan center grabbed the most favorable position and stopped Thiago Mota's pass with his chest. He still used his body to block Pique and Busquets behind him, and before Xavi came back, he kicked the ball with his feet. He stopped to his left, which is Puyol's side.
Puyol rushed towards Cavani for the first time, and he was about to form a siege for the Uruguayan center.
But after Cavani stopped the ball with his right foot, with his side facing the goal, he swept the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.
The ball was sent to Barcelona's penalty area by Cavani.
Almost at this moment, Sanchez, who had just returned to the defense to grab the ball, swept past Puyol at the fastest speed, like a gust of wind, making Puyol too late to turn around and catch up.
I saw the Chilean winger rush into Barcelona's penalty area from behind Puyol, and before Valdez hit the ball, he kicked the ball and avoided Valdez.
After wading through Valdés, the rest was much easier.
Sanchez caught up with the football before the bottom line and easily pushed the empty goal.
"goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"
"Three to zero!!!"
"Three to zero!!!"
"It's Naples' quick counterattack again, or the cooperation between the middle and the wing!"
"Sanchez scored the third goal of the game for Napoli!"
"It was definitely a fantastic goal!"
Sanchez rushed out of the pitch, slipped all the way to his knees under the stands where the Naples fans were, and burst into laughter.
Behind him, the Naples players chased out one after another, and even the players on the bench rushed out frantically, surrounded him, and celebrated the goal on the sidelines.
Three to zero!
It's almost seventy minutes into the game.
Naples can basically be said to be a winner!
The rabid Naples fans are cheering wildly, cheering wildly!
They were shouting Sanchez's name first, Cavani, looking at every player's name, cheering for them.
When they saw Sanchez and others walking back, they ran to the coach's bench to give high fives and hugs. Nearly 30,000 Naples fans in the audience were shouting wildly.
Three to zero!
This was definitely something no one thought of before the game.
But he just happened.
The possession rate was in the early 30s, but Naples ripped apart Barcelona's defense again and again through sharp counterattacks.
Great work!
He is the soul of this Neapolitan team!
