Chapter 12 The Terrible Barcelona
The training session in the afternoon will still be carried out according to the original plan.

Yang Hao planned to transfer four players from the youth team, but only two came, Pablo Garcia and Antonio Lopez.

The former is in the second team and the latter is in the U19 team, and both have training arrangements today.

Torres and Gabi are both in the U17, and their game tasks are not heavy. They have a holiday after playing the game on the weekend.

Yang Hao was not in a hurry, he just asked Parales to pay attention and arrange for them to train with the first team another day.

The players who talked to Yang Hao in the afternoon basically had a certain understanding of the new coach, and some even reached a consensus, which improved the training atmosphere to a certain extent.

Those who haven't been called over by Yang Hao to talk are all waiting.

In this case, whoever communicates with the head coach first will have an advantage in the competition.

During the team's training, Yang Hao was still standing on the training ground, but his thoughts had drifted to distant Barcelona.

This is Atletico Madrid’s opponent in their next game.

Copa del Rey semi-finals.

Today's Barcelona is very powerful. No matter from which perspective, this team can be called a gathering of superstars.

Needless to say, the two footballers Luis Figo and Rivaldo, Luis Enrique, Kluivert, Guardiola, Zenden, Cocu, De Boer brothers, Reiziger, Boga Germany...

In such a star-studded lineup, Xavi, Reina, Puyol and others can only be regarded as emerging young players.

When many fans in later generations mention Van Gaal, they will always think that his coaching of Barcelona was a failure.

But actually, it's not.

Before Van Gaal, Barcelona's head coach in the 96/97 season was Bobby Robson.

Although in that season, the most unforgettable player in the history of world football, the superb Ronaldo, Barcelona just lost to Raul, Suker and Mijatovi with a two-point disadvantage in the league. Real Madrid led by Qi, Seedorf and others.

It is worth mentioning that a certain special person followed Robson to Barcelona in this season as Ronaldo's translator. In the summer of 97, after Robson and Ronaldo both left, he stayed to continue to help Van Gaal. .

Van Gaal came to Camp Nou with the aura of Champions League champion.

Before this, Barcelona has experienced the creation of many famous Dutch coaches such as Michels and Cruyff, and it has a very strong flavor of Dutch football. I hope that Van Gaal can lead Barcelona to a revival.

As a result, Van Gaal single-handedly created the Dutch Gang in the Barcelona locker room.

Do you know how many Dutchmen there are in Barcelona's first team now?
8!
And all play an important role.

It can be said that the Dutch gang completely crushed local brands and other forces in the Barcelona locker room.

In the two seasons of 97/98 and 98/99, Barcelona performed very well and won the La Liga championship with a big lead. In this case, everyone had no objections.

But gradually, when the team's performance began to decline, the originally hidden conflicts gradually surfaced.

For example, Rivaldo kept complaining that Van Gaal was wasting his resources by placing him on the wing.

The Brazilian genius believes that he should appear in the middle.

This conflict has persisted throughout Barcelona this season, especially not long ago when Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson personally stepped down to express his interest in Rivaldo.

In anger, Van Gaal angrily attacked Ferguson and said sarcastically: "Manchester United should touch their own pockets. Can they afford Rivaldo?"

This didn’t explain the hatred. Van Gaal also hit back and said, "This is a very interesting phenomenon. Ferguson just said before that even if Beckham was sold, he would not be given a salary increase, but in the blink of an eye, they It's weird to think about players they can't even afford."

The battles between famous commanders are often so simple, direct, and rough.

Rivaldo's farce is now getting bigger and bigger, and the contradictions are gradually spreading, especially in the league. He has been unable to catch up with Deportivo La Coruña, which makes Barcelona feel more pressured and the fans are becoming more and more dissatisfied. .

Many people in Yang Hao's previous life said that Real Madrid fans pursue too high a goal. They not only want to win, but also want to win beautifully.

In fact, the same is true for current Barcelona fans.

Even Barcelona's veteran central defender Abelardo publicly criticized Van Gaal, believing that his tactics this season are as ugly as Chelsea's in the Premier League.

These were Abelardo's exact words. The map cannon fired so quickly.

Because in 2000, Premier League teams, especially teams like Chelsea, were really ugly.

It was in this situation of internal and external difficulties that Barcelona lost [-]-[-] to Real Mallorca at home in the last round.

Eto'o scored twice.

Real Mallorca adopted the 442 tactic, defensive counterattack.

This will definitely be Atletico Madrid's strategy against Barcelona. The key is how to defend and how to counterattack.

For now, Atletico Madrid does not have a counterattack weapon like Eto'o, let alone Mallorca also has a Tristan.

……

After the training, Yang Hao returned to the office and found the video of the last round of Barcelona playing Real Mallorca.

Barcelona are still kicking their 433, but Guardiola recently lost his main position and was replaced by Cocu.

Who would have thought that the 31-year-old Barcelona captain would be relegated to the sidelines.

In terms of staffing, Van Gaal still trusts Dutch players more, so goalkeeper Hesp, center Kluivert, center defender Frank de Boer, Cocu and others will continue to start.

Since Barcelona lacks left back options this season, either Reiziger or Bogard will be used to replace him. In recent times, Bogard has basically played on the left.

Then, the defense should be Bogarde, Friend de Boer, Abelardo and Puyol.

Yes, Barcelona's future captain now plays as a right-back.

He and Xavi are considered to be Van Gaal's most trusted young players. Together with Gabri and Cocu, the midfield trio is complete.The center forward must be Kluivert, but the difference lies in the wings. Luis Figo and Rivaldo should also start. After all, they are mostly big-name stars, and Barcelona just lost to Real Mallorca and urgently needs a victory.

Then on the bench are Finnish skaters Litmanen, Figo II Simao, and Dutch winger Zenden.

If the biggest star in Atletico Madrid's lineup is Hasselbaink, then in Barcelona's lineup, if you pick any player at random, he will not lose to the Dutch striker.

This is the terrible thing about Barcelona.

But as a time traveler in 2023, Yang Hao has long passed the age of superstitious stars.

He knows better than anyone that the essence of football is the whole.

No matter how many stars there are, if they work on their own, won't they still fall apart as luxurious as the Galaxy Battleship?

Even being beaten by a team from a lower league?
Yang Hao's original plan was to insist on attacking from the left, but after watching Barcelona's game against Real Mallorca, he suddenly realized that even if Figo did not actively defend, Atletico Madrid's left might not be able to break through. Barcelona's right wing.

Puyol is a very good player, very fast, and has very strong individual defense ability. Solari may not be able to take advantage.

On the left, on the other hand, Bogarde is a left-footed central defender who plays on the left. He is 1 meters tall and has Surinamese descent. This is enough to imagine that his physical confrontation is very good, but his foot skills are relatively frizzy. He is tall and strong but not flexible. , the speed is also slow.

And this is precisely Aguilera's advantage. He is only 1 meters tall and is a typical Spanish winger.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao already had a plan in mind.

……

After watching the game video, it was already dark.

After training, the players and coaches all left work one after another.

Parales took the initiative to stay.

This young man is really smart, and Yang Hao admires him very much. The key is that he can do things reliably.

Xiao Hill just called him and knew that he didn't have a car. He was rushing from Calderon to pick him up and made an appointment to go out for dinner together and go to the bar to have a couple of drinks to relieve the stress.

When Yang Hao walked out of the office, he stretched hard and moved his muscles.

The first day he took office was really rushed and fulfilling for him.

He wastes almost no minute and his pace is very fast.

So much so that now that he had some free time, he suddenly felt unreal when looking at the training ground in front of him.

He really became the head coach of Atletico Madrid!

It was at this time that Yang Hao discovered that Parales was coming again, with someone following him.

It turned out to be Kiko.

This suddenly made his heart skip a beat.

Because, he is not completely ready yet.

According to Yang Hao's plan, he should deal with most of the other people first and then slowly talk to Kiko.

In this way, even if the talks really break down, Kiko will not cause any big commotion in the locker room.

But now, before Yang Hao was ready, Kiko came to the door himself.

Did he find something?
With random thoughts in his mind, Yang Hao greeted him with a smile on the surface.

"Hello, Kiko, haven't you gone back yet?"

Kiko looked a little lonely, without the high spirits of the past. It was obvious that the long-term injury, the sluggish state in the past period, and physical reasons had all caused him to suffer.

People who have never experienced it will never understand this kind of mental torture.

It seems that many people criticized Ronaldo for gaining weight later, but Yang Hao has always felt that Ronaldo who gained weight is also worthy of admiration, because his ability to return to the football field and overcome those injuries is an extremely remarkable thing in itself.

So does Kiko.

The Spanish prince stayed to receive physiotherapy from Parales and carry out his rehabilitation program.

Yang Hao noticed Parales' secret glance, and it was obvious that this was an excuse.

It seemed that he really stayed here specifically to block him.

no solution anymore.

What should come will always come.

"Come, let's talk inside." Yang Hao warmly greeted Kiko into the room.

Parales made an apologetic gesture, and it was clear that he could not stop Kiko.

Yang Hao said that he understood and signaled that it was okay to reassure him.

Before entering the door, Yang Hao took a deep breath to calm himself down.

After entering the room, he sat directly opposite Kiko and looked directly at the prince who was deeply loved by Atletico Madrid fans.

"Let's stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yang Hao chose to go straight to the point.
