Chapter 120: Charge towards the double champion! [A big chapter with [-] words, please beg me to subscribe]

When Belletti took the ball from PSV's right rib 30 meters away and slowly pushed forward, there was no defensive player around him.

Van Bommel slipped up and received a second yellow card. After being sent off with a red card, Vogel was the only one left in PSV's midfield, and his defensive tasks were placed more on Deco.

Not only that, Belgian head coach Eric Graetz made his third substitution, replacing Georgian player Giorgi Gahokidze, to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense.

This resulted in a lack of manpower in the midfield.

Yang Hao also took this opportunity to signal Belletti and Aurelio to move forward actively, more often in the ribs to support the midfielder.

At this moment, Belletti is doing just that.

Deco in front had his back to the direction of the attack, looked around at the situation, and suddenly pointed to his left hand side, which is the right side of the court, and ran over quickly.

With Joaquin sitting on the right, Deco looked like he was going to attack this side.

But Belletti knew Deco's intention and did not pass the ball immediately. Instead, he waited for Vogel's reaction.

If Vogel doesn't follow, then pass it to Deco, but if...

Vogel followed!
Almost as soon as the PSV midfielder moved, Belletti followed suit immediately, dribbling the ball forward.

Everyone on and off the court, including Yang Hao, felt at this moment that Belletti would pass the ball and find someone to cooperate with.

But what was unexpected was that after the Brazilian right back rushed into the 30-meter area, he suddenly kicked off a heavy shot.

This sudden shot hit very hard, with great force and a very tricky angle.

As Vogel moved, a channel was exposed from the center of Eindhoven leading to the goal. Belletti's shot went along this channel and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Eindhoven goalkeeper Watrous was only 1 meters tall. He clenched his fists and rushed to the upper right, but was unable to do anything.

The ball went straight into PSV's goal with lightning speed.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"World wave!!!"

"A sudden world wave from 27 meters away!"

"Beletti! This Atletico Madrid right back knocked on PSV's goal again with a wonderful kick."

"3 to 0!"

"This is so unbelievable."

"It was a great shot and the PSV goalkeeper made the save but couldn't do anything."

"After Van Bommel was sent off, PSV Eindhoven, who was playing at home, was completely forced to play in the half, but Gretz did not choose to be conservative and continued to press out."

"We've seen the results."

"Adriano and Pandiani each scored a goal before, and now Belletti scores another goal, 3-0!"

"This is still an away game!"

"Atletico Madrid almost got one foot in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup."

……

The goal came suddenly, and Yang Hao became excited.

He first loudly applauded Belletti from the sidelines and gave a thumbs up to the Brazilian right back. At the same time, he also did not forget to give recognition to other players.

With a 3-goal lead, he was very satisfied with the result.

Turning his head to look at the home team's coaching bench, Yang Hao found Gretz standing in the coaching area with a livid face, while Van Bommel, who had been sent off with a red card, was standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel in the distance, as if he was using this method. Showing that he stands with the team.

After seeing Belletti score, Van Bommel squatted down and covered his face with his hands, not knowing whether he was crying or something.

Yang Hao was thinking, does he regret it at this moment?
The first yellow card was totally unnecessary!

Van Bommel is a player who has abilities and is very strong. He is good at both offense and defense. He is good at everything, but he plays too dirty and thinks too much.

There are many people who play hard on the court, such as Gattuso. He is a hard-working player on the court, but he does not play dirty.

But Van Bommel is different. He really likes kicking, flying tackles and black-footing.

This is mainly because he is superstitious that in this way he can intimidate his opponents, make them feel afraid, and thus gain a psychological advantage.

But this is a double-edged sword.

If you look carefully at players who play dirty, they often have to be very calm, because they have to remind themselves all the time what actions they can do and what actions they cannot do, to ensure that they will not cross the red line or get a card.

If you end up torturing yourself, why are you still having fun?
Van Bommel was like this today, completely screwing himself up.

Not only did he lose tonight, but he also lost the next round.

That's why he squatted down, covering his face and crying.

Of course, this has something to do with his young age.

He is only 23 years old and has little experience in making bad moves.

Yang Hao was even thinking that after tonight's lesson, would Van Bommel change his ways in the future?
If that were the case, European football would really be missing a tough guy.

Well, as long as you don't do bad things to the team I coach, I will praise you!

……

Atletico Madrid finally defeated PSV Eindhoven 3-0 away from home.

Deco was elected the best player of the match, but Belletti and Aurelio also performed very well, especially Van der Sar.

To a certain extent, the penalty saved by Van der Sar determined the trend of the game.

Yang Hao was very happy. In the locker room after the game, he praised Van der Sar by name.

"Edwin, you let us see the world's top, great Edwin van der Sar again!"

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he opened his arms, and Van der Sar also hugged his head coach with excitement.

Last year, at Juventus, he repeatedly cursed his stupidity in his mind. Why did he give up invitations from other teams and come to Serie A and Juventus?
He felt like a brainless fool who made the worst choice at a critical moment in his career.

But now, he is full of positive energy every day, and he is always proud of the choice he made last summer, because he feels that coming to Atletico Madrid was a very correct decision.

Not only did he regain his confidence here, but he also further improved his strength and experience.

"Boss, thank you!" Van der Sar thought about it, feeling a little moved.

Yang Hao laughed, reached out and patted Van der Sar on the shoulder, "It's because of your own efforts, what does it have to do with me?"

"Without you, I wouldn't have come to Atletico Madrid, and I wouldn't be here today." Van der Sar said very sincerely and sincerely.

When other people in the locker room heard this, their eyes towards Yang Hao became even hotter.

They were all discovered and promoted by Yang Hao when they were still young.

Now, as Atletico Madrid shines in La Liga and the UEFA Cup, they are all benefiting.

In the minds of each of them, Yang Hao is the leader of their careers, playing the most critical and important role.

Yang Hao smiled freely, and when he saw the eyes of the people around him and felt the atmosphere in the locker room, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

It’s not easy for the players to get to where they are today; it’s not easy for Atletico Madrid to get to where it is today; it’s even more difficult for him, Yang Hao, to get to where he is today!

Since it is not easy, you should cherish everything you have in front of you and work harder to achieve better results.

"I don't know how to express it right now. I feel everyone's feelings, but I want to say that I should put aside the emotions of these mothers-in-law for the time being."

The players in the locker room nodded.

"After beating PSV Eindhoven 3-0 away from home, I believe everyone can start looking forward to the semi-finals."

Everyone showed an expectant look.

A 0-3 loss at home means that PSV needs to score at least 4 goals if it wants to reverse the away game.

This is basically an impossible task.

If so, it's a miracle.

But in Yang Hao's dictionary, he would never give his opponent a chance for a miracle!
"Our opponents in the semi-finals are just those teams, Barcelona, ​​Alaves, Porto, Liverpool, Celta Vigo, etc."

Looking at this list, can you see the strength of La Liga?
Among the top eight of the UEFA Cup, La Liga has four teams, accounting for half of the country.

Some people even said that if it weren't for the draw, La Liga would probably dominate the semifinals.

"If we draw a La Liga team in the semi-finals, I am very confident. If we draw Porto and Liverpool, we will also have the strength to fight. So, what I want to tell you here is that it is not time to celebrate yet. There’s no time for congratulations.”

"If we want to celebrate, just wait for us. When Dortmund lifts the first UEFA Cup in the club's history, we will completely let go of our arms and celebrate to our heart's content!"

"If we want to celebrate, let's wait until we defeat our rivals in the same city with so many superstars in La Liga and win the La Liga championship. Then we will celebrate crazily with our fans!"

Everyone in the locker room was ignited by Yang Hao's words.

In the European arena, Atletico Madrid has always been a minor player, a scumbag team that no one pays attention to.

In La Liga, everyone only knows Real Madrid and Barcelona. Who has liked Atletico Madrid?

Why does Real Madrid always look down on Atletico Madrid with that lofty attitude?

Not only because they are richer and have royal titles, but also because they have more outstanding achievements and history than Atletico Madrid!
They call themselves aristocrats, while Atletico Madrid are just mud-legged people in the pit.

But Yang Hao now wants to lead this group of mud-legged people to kick those noble nobles off their thrones and trample them severely!

"Launch the final charge towards the championship, my warriors!"

"No matter how many years later, you will definitely be extremely proud of your season, everything you are doing now, and the efforts you have put in!"

……

"What you just said was so good, I was a little touched when I heard it."

After Yang Hao left the locker room and headed to the press conference venue, Lillo said with emotion.

He felt that this was the biggest difference between Yang Hao and him.

At critical moments, Yang Hao can always mobilize the players' emotions and inspire their fighting spirit.

Therefore, the longer he worked with Yang Hao, the more Lillo felt that he was not suitable to be a head coach.

However, it's good to be like this now. There's not so much pressure, and he focuses more on training and tactics. This is also the area of ​​work that he is very accustomed to.

"What I said is true." Yang Hao said solemnly.

He never fooled the players.

No one in this world is stupid.

Whether your head coach is cheating or not, the players themselves can feel it.

Just as Seedorf accused the VIP guests in the Inter Milan stand of mocking his wife, many things need not be said or done, but can be understood by feeling.

If Yang Hao was telling lies, how could he make everyone listen to him and believe him?

Everyone knows how useless it is to speak out something that you don’t believe in yourself.

"More importantly, we have a very scary schedule ahead of us, far more than the first half."

In the first half of the season, Atletico Madrid's most terrifying schedule is to encounter Deportivo La Coruna, Real Mallorca, Barcelona and Real Madrid one after another.

And now?

The 26th round is an away game against Deportivo La Coruña, followed by the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals knockout round, then the 27th round at home against Barcelona, ​​followed by two weeks of national team games, and at the end of the month, the 28th round is a visit to the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid.

Then comes the two-leg UEFA Cup semi-finals.

Round 29 is against Real Mallorca at home.

This schedule is just an introduction, but it is already so complicated. If we really want to start playing, every game is crucial and cannot be missed. If we are not careful, the leader's throne will fall to Real Madrid.

Therefore, Yang Hao wants to encourage the team at this time.

"If the team's results this season were not unexpected even for ourselves, I would really think that this is the Spanish Football Association deliberately punishing us and deliberately trying to prevent us from winning the championship." Lillo laughed.

Yang Hao also laughed, it was true.

This schedule is so bullshit.

All the strong teams are crowded together, plus the UEFA Cup, is this still life?
"It's okay, let's count it as one game." Yang Hao said with a smile.

"However, I didn't expect that Barcelona's Ferrer looked so bad, but he could still hold on until now, awesome!"

Yang Hao really gave a thumbs up.

In his previous life, he remembered that Ferrer ended get out of class early, but Yang Hao couldn't remember exactly when.

But Barcelona has been in turmoil this season, and Ferrer is doing well to survive until now.

How about we give him a ride?
……

Atletico Madrid defeated PSV Eindhoven 3-0 in an away game and did not attract much attention.

On the contrary, Deportivo La Coruna, La Coruna's opponent in the next round of the league, in the key battle of the Champions League group stage, reversed Paris Saint-Germain 4-3 at home, kicking off a soul-stirring comeback.

3 goals behind, 4 goals in a row.

Just looking at this data, you can feel that this is a classic plot of football novels, but it actually appeared on Irueta's team.

Judging from the course of the game, Deportivo's defense was really weak, but its offense was really good, and there was no problem with the team's overall morale and fighting spirit.

This season's La Liga, whether in the Champions League or the UEFA Cup, has performed very strongly.

And if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that all La Liga teams, including Barcelona, ​​play 4231.

To some extent, this represents a trend.

Just like in Deportivo's match against Paris Saint-Germain, the French giants played 442. Compared to Deportivo's 4231, their midfielder was naturally at a numerical disadvantage.

La Liga has always been known for its passing, possession and technology, and with the numerical advantage, it is obvious to control the midfield.

The turning point of the game came when Tristan came on as a substitute.

This Spanish center is very special. He is not a traditional Spanish center like Morientes. He has excellent foot skills and strong physical strength, allowing him to hold his position in the frontcourt.

This makes Tristan more suitable for the center position of 4231 tactics.

With Tristan in front, Roy Mackay was able to get more support and directed this great comeback.

Yang Hao has now seen very clearly that 4231 will be rapidly promoted in a short period of time in the future and become a key tactical play adopted by major teams.

442 and three defenders will become history!
What’s interesting is that Serie A, which has always been obsessed with tactical empire, fell behind this time.

The current mainstream of Serie A is still 442 and 352, which are better than the silver fox Lippi. He still hopes to adopt the 352 play style in Inter Milan. This is why Serie A's European war results have been unsatisfactory in recent years.

Some people may be wondering, why doesn't Serie A adopt the 4231 tactic?
The reason is also very simple, staffing issues.

For example, at Inter Milan, Tardelli always played four defenders in the Italian national team, but he can only play three defenders in Inter Milan. On the one hand, the players are familiar with it, and on the other hand, Inter Milan does not have a suitable left back.

Serie A currently plays four backs, such as AC Milan and Juventus, and they all have strong full-backs.

And the midfield.

To put it bluntly, if Inter Milan's midfield configuration is modified to 4231, how will the double midfielders be arranged?
All head coaches in the world, including Yang Hao, need to have the right players if they want to play any set of tactics, otherwise it is just empty talk.

And in recent years, the appeal of Serie A has indeed declined.

……

After returning to Spain from the Netherlands, Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid made some adjustments and immediately headed north to Deportivo La Coruña.

Both sides fought hard for 90 minutes in the European competition in mid-week. Both sides also attached great importance to this game, and they both played 4231, which can be said to be a tit-for-tat match.

Playing at home, Deportivo tried to launch a wave of attacks at the beginning, but Yang Hao deployed the double midfielder combination of Gravesen and Baraja. The tenacious defense made Super Deportivo's offense hit the wall and seemed helpless.

Both teams wasted a very good opportunity in the first half.

But at the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid attacked the left wing. Vicente broke through from the left and sent a cross. After Pandiani received the ball in the penalty area, he turned around and got rid of the defender, volleyed hard into the upper corner of the goal, and penetrated Deportivo La Coruni. Asia's goal.

1 is better than 0!

But just 8 minutes later, Belleron dribbled the ball at the front of the penalty area, attracted the defensive attention, and sent a wonderful pass. Tristan suddenly kicked off the outside of the penalty area and blasted a heavy shot to equalize the score for Deportivo.

1 is better than 1!

In the 60th minute, Atletico Madrid broke through and got a corner kick.

Deco calmly took the corner kick, and Lucio scored with a header from the penalty area, giving Atletico Madrid the lead again.

2 is better than 1!

After having tall and strong players such as Lucio and Adriano, set-piece offense has also become a major advantage of Atletico Madrid.

Afterwards, the two sides fought back and forth, but no one was able to score again.

Until the injury time, when the game was about to end, Capdevila broke through with the ball from the left and passed Belleron low. The latter sent a wonderful through ball, Tristan. After stopping the ball and getting rid of Lucio, he hit the goal again.

2 is better than 2!

draw!

The whole game was mediocre. Apart from scoring goals, there was nothing interesting to watch.

There isn’t much newness at the tactical level, it’s all the same as before.

As for targeted tactics, they are basically nothing.The season has already progressed into March, and they know each other well. If Yang Hao and Irueta can still play fresh, that would be awesome.

More importantly, this game exposed the fatigue of the two teams in multi-line combat situations.

Neither Atletico Madrid nor Deportivo played to the level they should have.

The score of 2 to 2 is not bad.

Yang Hao and Irueta also expressed their satisfaction with the result at the post-match press conference.

Especially Yang Hao, he played continuously, and it was an away game. His opponent was still Super Depor, 2 to 2, he was satisfied.

Of course, if I think so in my heart, I will definitely say a lot of regretful words.

Originally we could have won, we performed better than our opponents and created more chances...

……

When Atletico Madrid drew 2-2 away with Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-0 at home.

Barcelona drew 1-1 with Real Mallorca away from home.

Valencia defeated Osasuna 1-0 at home.

As a result, Atletico Madrid's lead has been reduced from the original 4 points to 2 points.

The strength of the bench lineup can be reflected in this continuous battle.

Even if Real Madrid plays with a rotating lineup, they can still deal with Real Sociedad, but Atletico Madrid cannot.

The main lineup is so young, and the substitutes and rotation lineup need to grow even more.

After successfully shortening the points gap, the outside world has once again started to speculate about the championship competition between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

There are 12 games left in the league, and Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are just 2 points apart. It is still unknown who will lose and who will win.

Since Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are already far ahead, Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Deportivo are all working hard for the remaining two Champions League places, and no one is willing to fall behind.

After all, playing in the Champions League, even if it only reaches the group stage, brings in an income of more than [-] million euros every year. Who can underestimate it?

……

UEFA Cup quarter-finals second leg.

After learning the amazing lesson from the first round, Gretz no longer adhered to the 442 tactics of the past, but switched to a 4231 tactic, with Kežman at the forefront of the team's forward line.

Van Nistelrooy is still seriously injured, but everyone knows that once the Dutch center returns from injury, he will basically transfer to Manchester United. Ferguson has been eyeing him for a long time.

Even if he is injured, he is always available.

Atletico Madrid did not try their best in this game, because there is still a league game against Barcelona next.

With a 3-0 away win in the first round, Yang Hao definitely had to save some energy at home.

Xavi Alonso and Cambiasso started at the same time, serving as the team's double midfielder.

双方苦战了90分钟后，最终是凭借着波切蒂诺在第31分钟的进球，马竞1比0小胜埃因霍温，总比分4比0顺利晋级。

……

When Yang Hao and his players celebrated the team's successful advancement to the UEFA Cup semi-finals at the Calderon Stadium, far away in Barcelona's Camp Nou, Barcelona head coach Ferrer stood uneasily in the coaching area. at the edge.

His eyes were fixed on the court.

The stands behind him, on both sides and far in front of him all seemed sparse, with less than half the occupancy rate.

But at this moment, these more than 4 fans are booing crazily.

As fans, they can only express their dissatisfaction with this game in this way.

It is also dissatisfaction with the head coach, the management, and the players.

Did Barcelona lose?
No, the score is now 2-1, Barcelona is in the lead.

The total score of the two rounds was 4 to 4, and Barcelona still led.

Logically speaking, they are already in the lead and can advance, and the fans should be satisfied.

But Barcelona's performance was truly unsatisfactory.

Not only the fans in the stands, but even the TV commentators thought, "Ferrer played too conservatively tonight!"

"This doesn't look like Barcelona football at all."

Celta Vigo is not a fuel-saving lamp. After winning the opponent 3-2 at home in the first round, they visited Camp Nou in the second round, and they still wanted to play defensive counterattack.

The referee Graham Babel from England did Barcelona a big favor. In the 22nd minute, when the two sides were still 0-0, he sent off Celta Vigo midfielder Wagner because he was defending Overmar. The action was too big when it came to Sri Lanka.

Let’s not talk about whether the penalty this time was too harsh. Let’s talk about this game. Ferrer eliminated the three midfielders Herrard, Guardiola and Gabri in one go and won Rivaldo. This is clearly the goal. Play defensive counterattack.

Okay, now that the opponent has one less person, it’s time to press forward, right?
As a result, Barcelona's offense could not be played.

This turned into a very funny thing.

Kluivert opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 43rd minute, receiving a cross from Zenden from the left.

At halftime, Ferrer finally made adjustments, replacing Guardiola and Gabri in one go, and replaced them with Xavi and Alfonso.

In the 56th minute, Zenden passed the ball from the left and Kluivert scored, 2-0!

But Barcelona seems to be satisfied with this score.

On the contrary, Celta Vigo made continuous adjustments and launched fierce attacks on Barcelona one after another.

In the 69th minute, Pablo Coira helped Celta Vigo score.

1-2, 4-4 on aggregate.

But Barcelona are ahead of Celta Vigo on away goals.

At this critical juncture, Victor Fernandez showed his bloodiness and tenacity, constantly changing players and continuing to strengthen the attack.

As a result, a very ironic scene occurred in the Camp Nou stadium.

Barcelona, ​​which clearly had a numerical advantage and was playing at home, was beaten by the away team, which had one less player.

Facing Celta Vigo's violent attack, Ferrer was unable to come up with any effective measures.

No one knows why he replaced Alfonso, who has been sluggish this season, for soy sauce?

At the critical moment, what is the use of replacing the old captain Guardiola and keeping Herard?
The entire Barcelona midfield and backfield were completely turned upside down by Celta Vigo.

But the stars in the frontcourt are still waiting for the pass from the backcourt slowly, as if the defense has nothing to do with them.

Not to mention that the Barcelona fans in the stands were very angry. Even the commentator in charge of the live TV broadcast called on the Barcelona players to pay attention to defense. If it doesn't work, press out and try to score another goal, completely blocking Vigose. Erta's thoughts.

Who would have thought that Celta Vigo, who was missing one person for most of the entire game, would push Barcelona to this point at Camp Nou.

Ferrell could only stand on the sidelines and pray.

Finally, Graham Babel's whistle that ended the game sounded like a heavenly sound in the night sky of Camp Nou.

Ferrell breathed a sigh of relief. After his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, were completely relaxed at this moment, he felt a sense of weakness and collapse.

Finally advanced!
……

Amid boos from the fans, the Barcelona players left the field in embarrassment.

The total score was 4 to 4, and Celta Vigo was eliminated based on away goals, but the latter was honored to lose.

When the players entered the tunnel, they saw the club's manager, former Barcelona captain Baquero, standing not far from the tunnel, greeting them with a smile.

Only when he saw Guardiola did Baquero take the initiative to hug him.

Ironically, Guardiola's situation in Barcelona is getting worse day by day.

Especially this season, even the qualification for the Champions League is in jeopardy. Captain Guardiola is the first to bear the brunt and must bear the responsibility.

But he has only played so many times, so what responsibility does he have?

After finally waiting for Ferrell, Baquero waved to him.

The two of them walked to a remote corner.

"The chairman is back."

Another reason for the anger of Barcelona fans is that when the team performed so poorly, president Gaspart went on vacation and took his family on vacation at the club's public expense.

How could he have the face to face the media and swear that he loves Barcelona more than life?

Is this how he lives his life?

Ferrell knew why Baquero was talking to him.

For the current situation of the team, someone must stand up and take responsibility.

"Just now, the chairman came to talk to us. Many people, including those from the Blue Elephant, such as Laporta, have particularly strong opinions in the opposition. They seized on one thing: our results are too bad."

When Ferrell heard this, he opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

What needs to be said, he has already said before.

No one listens.

The current management of Barcelona is like a mess.

"Given the current situation, reorganization this summer is inevitable. The chairman said that before that, you must re-prove your ability and convince everyone that you can lead Barcelona well."

When Bacro said this, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

It was not Ferrer who caused Barcelona's current situation at all.

In other words, Ferrer is indeed not strong enough, but he is not the number one sinner of Barcelona's current situation.

But sometimes, there are certain things that need to be borne by the head coach.

if not?
Let Chairman Gaspart take the responsibility?

"How to prove it?" Ferrell asked.

He really cherished this opportunity to coach Barcelona. In fact, he could clearly coach the La Liga team alone before. When Barcelona extended an olive branch to him, he did not hesitate to switch to Barcelona, ​​even if he was just a youth training director. .

He is eager to achieve something as Barcelona coach, and he is eager to make a difference.

"I can tell you very clearly now that all the news out there about our contact with Cooper, Wenger, Capello and Yang Hao are false. We have not contacted any of them or any head coach."

Baquero is clarifying some rumors from the outside world.

That made Ferrell feel a little better.

Especially there is no Yang Hao here.

"What I can also tell you is that both Riquelme and Saviola are real. We launched these two stars originally to appease the fans, but now it seems that the effect is not ideal."

When results are poor, teams often like to raise signing targets to attract fans' attention and make them look forward to the next season. This is a common method used by all football clubs.

Especially wealthy teams.

On the contrary, those with relatively stable results are doing everything possible to avoid getting involved with other players, lest the morale within the locker room becomes unstable and ruin the existing good situation.

The three most rumored players from Barcelona are the Argentine twins Riquelme and Saviola, as well as Valencia's Mendieta. If these three players can join Barcelona, ​​they will definitely be even more powerful.

But judging from public opinion surveys, the feedback from fans is not very positive.

"We no longer have the King's Cup. What the president means is that we must do our best to win the UEFA Cup and at the same time ensure that the team stays in the Champions League. If you achieve these two goals, you can continue."

In other words, the top four in the league and the UEFA Cup champion are indispensable.

Ferrer felt really pressured.

According to the latest match results, the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup are Atletico Madrid, Alaves, Liverpool and Barcelona.

According to the previous draw schedule, Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid and Alaves will face Liverpool.

It's not easy!
If you want to reach the top four in the league, you must race against time in the next league. Then the 27th round of La Liga's visit to the Calderon Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid becomes particularly important.

On both fronts, Atletico Madrid has become the biggest obstacle in front of Barcelona.

"To be honest, Jose, these two goals are very difficult." Ferrer said without any confidence and his tone was a bit weak.

"Of course, but Barcelona's head coach should continue to challenge the difficulty. We are working hard for all championships every season. This is Barcelona's bounden duty and the fans' expectations of us, isn't it?"

Ferrell was speechless.

He had been mentally prepared for the pressure of coaching a wealthy club, but when it really came down, he truly felt that it was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

"Atletico Madrid is very strong." Ferrer was a little helpless.

He didn't say anything, but his message was clear: he wasn't sure enough to beat Atletico Madrid.

"Please, that's just Atletico Madrid, not Real Madrid." Baquero was a little angry.

How can Barcelona's head coach be so hopeless?
When did the Barcelona coach even feel afraid of Atletico Madrid?

"You know, how much is Atletico Madrid's transfer fee? How much is the annual salary of their players? Our two superstars on the front line, Kluivert and Rivaldo, both have annual salaries of more than 500 million euros. Their entire team adds up to Are the annual salaries of these two superstars high?"

Ferrer opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but Baquero did not give him such a chance.

"I know, you want to say, football games can't be compared like this, right?"

Ferrell nodded, feeling aggrieved.

You obviously know, you know everything, why do you still say that?

"We have the most luxurious attacking lineup in the world, Lorenzo, we have the most powerful winger attacking group in the world, we have top forwards like Rivaldo and Kluivert..."

"Originally, I really didn't want to repeat some of the words, but now, I have to tell you that just now, Laporta from the opposition was questioning the chairman. We spent so much money and introduced so many stars. In the end, It's not as good as Celta Vigo, who even forced them to act like a tortoise, huddled in half-court and fearful..."

"Excuse me, what is the point of spending so much money? How is the value reflected?"

Ferrell was speechless.

This was an ironclad fact, and he had no excuse.

He can find many, many reasons, but the game of football never accepts any reasons or explanations.

It has two results.

Lose, fall; win, stand!

Ferrell knew very well that at this moment, any explanation or reason he gave was meaningless.

No one would listen, let alone accept.

The only thing he can do now is to lead Barcelona to achieve the goals required by the chairman.

If he couldn't finish it, he would pack up and leave.

"I am also a professional player, Lorenzo. I know the team's current problems and understand your difficulties, but..."

Baquero has always felt that Ferrer was not a very capable head coach.

On the contrary, those who can be selected and hired by Barcelona have basically proven themselves in other teams, and there is no problem in terms of ability.

However, many times, football cannot be solved by ability alone.

It is a team sport.

Not just the 11 people on the football field, but also the 7 on the bench, and those on the coaching bench, in the stands, in the office, in the training base...

It is a team sport involving dozens or even hundreds of people.

Ferrer was very unlucky. He came up from the second team at this time and was destined to accept the challenge.

This is why, last summer, when Barcelona was selecting a coach, all the world-famous coaches stayed away.

Because everyone can see that Barcelona's problems are very serious now.

Can't you see it, Bacro?
Can’t Laporta, the Blue Elephant’s opposition leader, see it?

Do not be silly.

Everyone knew exactly what was going on.

Ferrell said nothing, but nodded slightly to show that he was listening.

"Our team now needs a victory similar to the 7-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao."

"Scenes like tonight should never happen again."

After saying that, Baquero gave Ferrell a self-satisfied look, sighed, and turned to leave.

Ferrer was left standing alone in this dim corridor.
