Seventy-Four Gao, You Must Fight for Us!

"You are still sloppy."

In the Nou Camp chairman's stand, Barcelona's vice-chairman Alfonso Gahl said with a smile towards Real Madrid's vice-chairman Vulture Butragueno who led the team to Barcelona, ​​with a somewhat condescending accusation in his tone.

The sloppy he said refers to Real Madrid's decision to appoint Gao Shen as the head coach.

In any case, using a twenty-five-year-old rookie as the head coach is an absolutely ridiculous scandal.

Chairman Laporta is also sitting beside Butragueno at this time, "watching" the game with a smile, and the smile on his face is even wider after hearing what Gaul said.

In the past few years, Real Madrid has been pressing down on Barcelona, ​​and Florentino is a figure who can control both political and business circles, and his wrists are all over the sky. Even if Laporta sees him, he will inevitably be a lot shorter. Like now, if you raise your head high and denounce Real Madrid's problems face to face, Real Madrid still can't refute?

Butragueno was very depressed, but he really couldn't refute it.

Now, the situation on the court is that Barcelona is stronger, and Real Madrid can only be passively defended.

Off the court, in the past two or three seasons, Barcelona has also risen strongly, and Real Madrid, which is full of superstars, has begun to decline.

Especially this season, Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho led the team to beat Real Madrid 3-0 at the Bernabeu and won warm applause from the Bernabeu fans. This is a shame for the Real Madrid management.

The situation is stronger than people, and Butragueno is also quite helpless about this.

"Speaking of which, we really have to thank you." Echebalia, who was sitting on the other side of Laporta, laughed.

"Ronaldinho and Deco were both given up by you, otherwise it would be difficult for us to grab them, let alone Eto'o, you sold him to us."

Echebalia is not only a member of the Barcelona Presidium, but also Laporta's brother-in-law. He was the person in charge of Barcelona's negotiation with Real Madrid about Eto'o's transfer. He can be said to be a powerful figure in the Barcelona management.

Eto'o was trained by Real Madrid's youth, but he couldn't get a chance in the star-studded Real Madrid, so he was sent to Real Mallorca. Under the training of Aragones, he improved very quickly and was favored by Barcelona.

According to the contract, Mallorca and Real Madrid each hold half of the ownership of Eto'o. If Barcelona wants to buy Eto'o, they must get the half in the hands of Real Madrid. This was considered an almost impossible transaction at the time.

But who would have thought that Real Madrid finally agreed.

The reason is also very simple, because what Real Madrid wanted at the time was Michael Owen.

Sometimes things in the world are truly amazing.

Real Madrid has Zidane, so there is no need for Deco, and the simple style of Deco does not meet Real Madrid's definition of a star; between Beckham and Ronaldinho, Real Madrid has chosen a higher commercial value, There was nothing wrong with Beckham, who was more famous at the time, rather than the ugly Ronaldinho.

Going back to the Michael Owen-Eto'o deal, it's the same.

And who would have thought that these three people have created the glory of Barcelona in the past two or three years?

Butragueno always had a smile on his face and maintained his demeanor, but he had already scolded his mother in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Who made the two teams rival each other?

"Now the score is still zero to zero, it's hard to say who will win." Butragueno said lightly.

"That's right." Laporta nodded in agreement, but changed the topic, "I have a hunch that Eto'o will score again tonight."

Both Goal and Echebalia are praised again and again, because Eto'o has a nickname: Real Madrid killer.

What do you mean?

In the last three games against Real Madrid, he has scored in all of them.

Not only that, since leaving Real Madrid in 2000 to now, he has scored a total of ten goals against Real Madrid, including seven league goals, two Copa del Rey goals and one Super Cup goal.

Seven of them were scored for Mallorca and three for Barcelona.

This shows how deep Eto'o's resentment towards Real Madrid is.

Butragueno was sitting in the stands of the Nou Camp, surrounded by Barcelona's management and guests. Hearing that they all looked like they were sure of winning, the Real Madrid vice president was full of shame, but helpless.

Gao, you must fight for us!

Ronaldinho once again dribbled in on the left side of the penalty area and hit a long shot before De La Reid blocked it.

But this kick was hasty, the timing and angle were not well grasped, and it went straight high.

This was already his second shot in three minutes.

Just now, Gravesen pulled down Deco 25 meters outside the penalty area and gave Barcelona a free kick in the frontcourt. Ronaldinho took the penalty, but it was slightly higher than the goal.

The two shots failed to be aimed at the goal and failed to pose a threat.

And now, forty-two minutes have passed in the first half.

Rijkaard made a point of wearing his black suit and red tie tonight, his lucky attire, but Barcelona's luck doesn't seem to be particularly good.

The best chance of the whole first half was Eto'o's one-handed opening, but he missed it.

After that, it will be difficult for Barcelona to get a better opportunity.

Lots of momentum, but little threat, more of a long-range shot.

"This guy is still a bit strong. No wonder he can reverse Arsenal and draw Juventus away." Ten Carter said from the side, mainly boasting about Real Madrid's defense.

"This kind of overall compact defense is still very characteristic, but it is also a great test for the players. To be honest, I really didn't expect that he could let Beckham and Raul return to the penalty area, allowing Qi Dane chased back to the goal, not easy!"

Before Ten Carter came to work as an assistant to Rijkaard, he was also the head coach of the Eredivisie, so he knew that no matter how good the tactics are, the players need to implement them in order to be effective. In a team like Real Madrid, the head coach The real test is often how to balance the players, not the tactics themselves.

In this regard, Gao Shen is indeed superior.

On the court, after Real Madrid intercepted the ball in midfield, Zidane got the ball near the center line and made a long pass to Negredo.

Real Madrid's center took Oleg, and quickly advanced towards the right side of the penalty area. He took the first step to hold Oleg with his body, and stopped the ball. Joel got stabbed first.

Such scenes happened many times throughout the first half, but Real Madrid still enjoy it.

"He is going to consume our two central defenders now. Thiago Motta must be ready during the halftime break, and he must be available at any time in the second half." Rijkaard frowned.

This is what he and Ten Carter specially prepared for Ronaldo.

Thiago Mota is taller than Oleg and has similar physical conditions, but as a Brazilian player, he is more flexible than Oleg, and he plays well in the midfield position and has a lot of work under his feet. Still a left-footed player.

Both Rijkaard and Ten Carter believe that the combination of Thiago Motta and Puyol can contain Ronaldo.

As long as Real Madrid makes a substitution, Barcelona will immediately follow suit.

…………

…………

The first half ended with two long-range shots from Barcelona.

First, Van Bronckhorst shot a cold arrow from the left nearly 30 meters away, followed by Ronaldinho's cross.

The referee Brewer blew the whistle to end the first half, and no one scored.

But whether it is the scene or the data, Barcelona has an overwhelming advantage.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the number of passes. Deco alone got fifty-four passes, including six threats, five tackles, and two steals. This statistic is enough to make him stand out from the audience. .

On Real Madrid's side, Zidane has the most passes, only 18 times, and Negredo has only a pitiful five times.

In other words, Real Madrid was basically scrambling for the entire first half.

The data may not reflect everything, but it is enough to make people see the absolute disadvantage of Real Madrid on the scene.

Generally speaking, such a score is basically only a big rout, or even the data of a professional team ravaging an amateur team.

But when Gao Shen got the data, he didn't respond at all.

Because he felt that he was too weak.

In 2006, this was a very common phenomenon. The passing data of Barcelona was already very high, especially the data of Deco, Iniesta and Ronaldinho.

Like Eto'o only 16 times, Larsson 15 times, Van Bommel only 10 times.

It should be said that this is the mainstream of football now.

However, after Guardiola led the rise of the Barcelona Dream Team 3, the situation of over a hundred in a single game and dense passing lines in the audience really came into people's field of vision, and it was only then that there will be more and more Most teams value passing, and the passing data has really improved by leaps and bounds.

To some extent, Barcelona's style of play is really a blow to the current mainstream style of play.

With the number of passes in a single game soaring so much, it is conceivable that the subversion of the football game is absolutely revolutionary.

It's a pity that Real Madrid can't play that kind of football now.

Even, apart from Barcelona, ​​it may be difficult for any team to play that kind of football.

Even if he thought deeply, he couldn't make up such a lineup now.

Modric, Harvey Alonso, Toni Kroos, David Silva... These outstanding passers are still too immature.

Or it should be said that their later career peaks were also affected by the subversion of the Dream Team, and they were even cultivated by Guardiola himself.

So, after seeing the football of Dream Team 3, and then looking at the current Barcelona Dream Team 2, how could Gao Shen be surprised?

...

"How? Can you hold on any longer?"

This was the question that Gao Shen asked the most after entering the locker room.

The general answer given by the players is: yes.

Including Raul, Negredo and Zidane.

Beckham is known for his good running, and he is even better.

Later, Gao Shen praised Ramos by name and encouraged Elguera.

Although there was a fatal mistake in the opening two minutes, Elguera still did a good job most of the time.

In such an important battle, Gao Shen can only give encouragement, not dampen the enthusiasm of the players.

There are also Gravesen, De La Reid, Felipe and Arbeloa, all of whom performed very well.

Real Madrid's defense is getting stronger and stronger, but there is almost no investment in the offensive end.

"In the second half we still have to continue to take a defensive position. We must guard our goal and wait for the opportunity."

Gao Shen clenched his hands and said through gritted teeth.

The time has not come, we have to wait!
