Chapter 109 Atletico Madrid Head Team [First update, please subscribe]

"We are more than just a football club!"

This is a sentence that is often said on the lips of everyone from the Barcelona club president to the most ordinary fans.

It does make some sense.

As if no football club had ever held an art competition, Salvador Dali, the surrealist painter known as the king of psychedelic art, even submitted a painting.

There was a saying at the time: more people visit the Barcelona Museum every year than the Picasso Museum.

The famous football writer Phil Ball described in his book "Morbo": In Catalonia, everyone tells you that Barcelona is the flagship team representing Catalan nationalism.

"In 1992, when the Dream Team won the Champions League, it was more dreamy than any other team winning the Champions League."

"At that moment, even the toilet in the Camp Nou smelled like roses."

Since then, whenever Barcelona faces a team from Madrid at Camp Nou, there will always be chants from Barcelona fans in the stands.

"The flagship team of Catalan nationalism, the rude and brutal Madridistas!"

This is why, before Atletico Madrid prepares to go to the away game to challenge Barcelona, ​​the Catalan media will madly exaggerate Atletico Madrid's rudeness and brutality, and will constantly attack Atletico Madrid for benefiting from the referee's enforcement.

In the past, such treatment was mostly given to Real Madrid.

But starting from this season, Atletico Madrid seems to have begun to enjoy this "honor".

And when Yang Hao led the team into this palace-level stadium, and the more than 9 Barcelona fans in the stands shouted this slogan crazily, it was really shocking.

It even feels thrilling.

Be enemies with 10 people!

This is Yang Hao's excitement at this moment.

……

Ferrer is not a Catalan, let alone a Barcelona native. He even did not stay in Catalonia for a long time. He is from Mallorca.

Before coming to Barcelona, ​​he helped Mallorca get promoted, and later coached Real Betis to a third-place finish in the league and participated in the UEFA Cup, with pretty good results.

After that, he was hired by Barcelona with a lot of money, but not as the team's head coach, but as the youth training director.

To put it simply, he took over La Masia.

That was 97.

It was in that year that Dutchman Louis van Gaal came to Barcelona.

Ferrer's relationship with Van Gaal was that of ordinary colleagues, but he heard Van Gaal say something more than once.

"We should be more pragmatic!"

Yes.

This is not just the feeling of Van Gaal, many employees, coaches and even players of Barcelona will feel this way.

Barcelona has been endowed with too much aura and emotion, and has been burdened with too many responsibilities, causing it to become extremely formalistic on many issues, even with a surrealistic Dali style.

No, even Cruyff's team back then was called: the Dream Team.

When Van Gaal was coaching, Ferrer was not deeply aware of the problems of the first team, but now that he has taken over the team, he finds that he is facing a lot of problems.

And many of them are problems that he is unable to solve.

Figo went to Real Madrid, which was regarded as a shame by Barcelona.

In order to calm the anger of the fans as soon as possible, the management headed by Gaspart had to sign Overmars from Arsenal for 3000 million euros, and signed Herrard from Valencia for 2160 million euros. Euro signed Petit from Arsenal, plus local forward Alfonso for 1500 million euros...

But after the management made a fuss, Ferrer glanced at the first-team lineup and was surprised to find: Where is the central defender?
Bogarde moved to Chelsea in the Premier League on a free transfer, and Dehu moved to Paris Saint-Germain for 600 million euros.

Barcelona has invested so much in recruiting in the midfield and frontcourt, but what about the already weak defense?
Frank DeBoer and Abelardo are both 30 years old. Could it be said that Ferrer needs to rely on these two thirty-year-old central defenders to cope with the entire season?
Cocu has played as a central defender, so there is no big problem.

Pettit seems to be able to adapt to the central defender, but there is no other way. We are currently short of manpower, so we will make do with it.

But as soon as Ferrer made the arrangement, Pettit stabbed him out.

Labor and management are midfielders, not central defenders, get out!

Ferrer was stunned.

The media outside is also in a frenzy.

Infighting in the locker room is the media's favorite big news.

That's it?

young.

How to reconcile new striker Alfonso and Kluivert?

How to arrange the big-money signing of Herrard and the old captain Guardiola?

Will Barcelona adopt the 433 tactic in the new season?Or improve other ways of playing?
Rivaldo said harshly that he only wanted to play the No. [-] position.

what?
Can't do it?
I don't care, this is the head coach's business, I will play as an attacking midfielder, if you have the ability, don't let me play.

Gabri, who performed well under Van Gaal last season, feels aggrieved and thinks the competition in the team's midfield is too fierce...

There is also Luis Enrique, who feels that he can continue to shine; Fernando Fernando, who transferred to Lazio for 98 million euros in 1500, could not adapt to Serie A. I don’t know who he found a relationship with, so he came back on loan; Ferrer Arteta, the promising young player from the second team, joined the first team and had no chance to play...

All the questions, one after another, piled up in front of Ferrell.

It was better during the summer training camp, but since the start of the season, more and more problems have been exposed.

Especially in the recent period, the team's performance has been deteriorating, and the pressure on Ferrer has been increasing.

After finally defeating Real Madrid, they took a breath and were on the verge of being eliminated from the Champions League. They lost 0-2 to Mallorca in an away game, forcing Ferrer into a quagmire of despair.

What's even more terrible is that before facing the leader Atletico Madrid, chairman Gaspart actually stood up and publicly issued a kill order in front of the media. This put Ferrer in a dilemma.Although the opponent is Atletico Madrid, it is also the league leader, Chairman!

Let's be pragmatic, okay?
But soon, Ferrell discovered that it really wasn't possible.

Who really likes Atletico Madrid?

Isn't this the soft persimmon that Barcelona used to slaughter?

Last season's three consecutive defeats were all blamed on that loser Van Gaal!

Whether it's for revenge or to reverse the team's recent decline, this game must be won!

Everyone from the chairman to the management to the technical director to the media to the fans and even the players basically think so.

Legendary player Luis Enrique even publicly asked the media to fight, saying that he was in very good condition.

"We must keep our eyes fixed on Atletico Madrid. We can only win but not lose in the Camp Nou battle. Otherwise, we will be further widened and miss the hope of winning the La Liga championship."

There is also DeBoer, who has always been very dissatisfied with the team for selling his brother, and now his position has been shaken. He has repeatedly shouted to Ferrell in the media, saying that he must contribute during the team's difficult times. .

Inside and out, Ferrell is in disarray.

Finally, he agreed!
In this game against Atletico Madrid, he insisted on his view that Barcelona should be more pragmatic and adopt a 4231 tactic.

Goalkeeper: Arnault;

Defense: Petit, Cocu, De Boer and Puyol;

Midfielder: Xavi and Herard form a double defensive midfielder, with Simao, Rivaldo and Luis Enrique in front;

Forward: Alfonso.

On the one hand, Ferrer actively responded to the current mainstream trend in La Liga and adopted a double midfielder tactic.

Counting from the top of the points table, how many teams play with double midfielders?

The choice of players was to accommodate their wishes. Rivaldo played as an attacking midfielder, Luis Enrique and De Boer both played, and only Petit continued to play as a central defender.

There is no way, there is really no central defender.

……

Barcelona is very difficult, Atletico Madrid is also very difficult.

This led to Yang Hao not taking too many risks in this battle at Camp Nou. Instead, he started with a solid defense and allowed Barcelona to control the ball. He still focused on the midline area of ​​the defense zone.

In front is the trident of Vicente, Pandiani and Joaquin attacking.

To win Deco, Yang Hao adopted a three-midfield combination of Cambiasso, Graveson and Baraja.

This makes Atletico Madrid look like a 433 formation.

Barcelona took advantage of the situation and launched attacks continuously from the beginning, but Atletico Madrid's defense was indeed good.

The two sides were locked in a hard fight from the first minute, but neither one was able to create a good opportunity, especially Barcelona. It seemed to have the initiative and advantage, but there were very few truly threatening attacks, and most of them were on the periphery.

The first half ended in a 0-0 draw, with no one scoring.

But just over a minute into the second half, Rivaldo was fouled by Gravesen when he broke through with the ball in the middle.

The referee blew the whistle and gave Gravesen a yellow card. At the same time, Barcelona was given a direct free kick in the center of the penalty area.

Brazilian demon swordsman Rivaldo took the penalty calmly and hit a curve ball that hit the left side of the goal.

Van der Sar judged the position but was unable to prevent the ball from entering the net.

1 is better than 0!

Barcelona takes the lead!
……

"Wow! Whoa!"

Yang Hao was startled by the sudden shout.

Turning around, he saw Ferrell, who was sitting in the home team's coaching bench, rushing out excitedly as if he had been shot. In an incredible state of control, he yelled and screamed over there. Rushed out of the coach's command area.

Not even the fourth official could stop him.

Yang Hao looked a little confused on the sidelines.

It’s just one goal. Isn’t it too exaggerated?

"He's really under too much pressure recently." Juanma Lillo shook his head with a wry smile.

To be able to force an adult who is nearly fifty years old to be like this, it is conceivable that now Barcelona's coaching position is no longer roasting under the fire, but directly buried under a volcano that may erupt at any time.

No wonder though.

After Barcelona encountered Waterloo, Ferrer lay dormant for several years. After his comeback, whether he was coaching Real Betis or AEK Athens, the results were not very satisfactory. Later, he transitioned to working behind the scenes, such as sports director.

However, these are things for the future.

Yang Hao doesn't care what happens to Ferrer in the future, he only cares about how to defeat Barcelona at Camp Nou tonight.

Conceded a goal?
Well, this was within his expectation.

When Yang Hao saw Rivaldo taking the free kick, he had a vague premonition. When Rivaldo scored, he shook his head helplessly.

This is a man who can score two direct free kicks in a single game against AC Milan!

"Juanma, get ready and let them see how powerful our Atletico Madrid team is!"
