Chapter 576 Rijkald's only concern

"Six years later, the Champions League finals returned to the French Stadium! Against both sides, Leyton Oriental, who won the championship in the Champions League for the first time six years ago, and has achieved an overwhelming advantage in La Liga for two consecutive years. After defeating Chelsea, Arsenal and AC Milan this season, facing Leyton Oriental is very likely to become the second team of Dream Team Barcelona! For some players of Leyton Oriental, France Stadium is their first time to win the top honors as a top player. Of course, they want to realize their dreams more, and Barcelona is unwilling to show weakness. For this Barcelona, ​​if they want to become the real Dream Team, they have to use the title of the Champions League to make this logo more real. After all, the last Dream Team had a Champions League champion as the most basic facility."

"I like this place in France very much. Leiden Oriental prefers this place in France. We have come to France almost every year over the past few years. Here we have won a Champions League and five European Super Cup championships. In the finals in France, we have a record of total victory so far, and this time will be no exception."

After leading the team to Paris, Xiao Ming said confidently in an interview.

"I'm very happy to see Leiden Oriental reach the Champions League final this season, but in this game, I will play in my best form. This is the best way for me to repay Leiden Oriental." Ronaldo challenged his former club in this way.

"I rarely played against Ronaldo during the team training, but if he was on the left winger in the final, I would be happy to let him know how I treated my opponent." Daniel said this in an interview.

"Leiton Oriental has not conceded the goal in the Champions League this season 768 minutes? That's because they didn't meet Barcelona. Barcelona's offense is the best in Europe. In the final, I will definitely score." Cameroonian scorer, Fran, was wrongly snatched away the top scorer last season. This season, Etoo, who immediately regained the honor of La Liga with twenty-six goals this season, said this in an interview.

"Barcelona's offense is the best in Europe? What a joke, they only scored six goals in six knockout matches. We scored seven goals in six knockout matches. It's obvious whose offense is better." After hearing Etoo's words, Xiao Ming replied with a smile.

Before the war begins, saliva will come first. This is a custom before the start of an important match between European clubs. However, Xiao Ming firmly implemented the policy of fighting and playing the players shut up. Whether it is Ronaldo, Etoo or Puyol in Barcelona, ​​Leiden Dongfang relies on Xiao Ming to deal with it alone. Except for Daniel, who was interviewed as the captain, everyone else made a fortune in silence.

"After winning the game, say whatever you want. Before winning the game, shut up all of me." This is Xiao Ming's always-knowing policy. This trick was learned by him and Mourinho later. Mourinho was used to focusing all the conflicts on himself and then allowing the players to get a relatively quiet environment, and there is no good thing to say when scolding each other. As long as it is a verbal dispute, few people who participate will not be provoked. Sometimes, whether the players are calm on the court is a little bit different.

The members of the coaching team are also working hard for Barcelona. Since they learned that the final opponent was Barcelona, ​​research on Barcelona's data collection and technical and tactical characteristics have begun in full swing. Xiao Ming, who has a deep impression of this Barcelona team, has long had a curriculum to deal with them.

Now this Barcelona team is almost exactly the same as Barcelona in the history of the Dream 2 team. The only difference is that this season is Ronaldo's first season in Barcelona. Although he has established his own status, his familiarity with his teammates has also been discounted.

However, the discount is not big. The 433 tactics tailored for Barcelona by Rijcard are simply prepared for Barcelona. Rijcard, who is in line with Cruyff, actually has not much to do. After all, Barcelona has this kind of tactic tradition! The addition of Ronaldo, whose technical characteristics are extremely harmonious with Barcelona, ​​also makes this team extremely powerful!

After the failures of Bonaro, Rustu, Enke and others, Valdes, as a local player, has become Barcelona's main player. Although he has always been regarded as the worst part of Barcelona's defense, he is actually a very powerful goalkeeper, but he is not as stable as Casillas. In most games, his performance is enough to prevent Barcelona's defense from losing some inexplicable balls.

In front of Valdes, Puyol and Marquis formed a central defender partner, the left-back was Van Bronhorst, who bought out from Arsenal, the right-back was Brazilian Beletti, and sometimes the local defender Oleg. These four defenders were not perfect in Xiao Ming's opinion, and each had their own flaws, but their performance this season was relatively outstanding.

The midfield and frontcourt are the most powerful places in Barcelona, ​​including Van Bomel, Xavi, Deco, Iniesta, Ed Milson... These players are enough to form several different types. Xavi was seriously injured last year, but he has returned from injury last month. If he can play, how to curb his organization in the midfield is a lesson that Xiao Ming must do.

Barcelona's three forwards are Ronaldo, Etoo and Juli. Of course, veteran Larson on the bench should not be underestimated. Compared with history, the only thing they lack is that they lack the excellent substitute, Messi. However, in a game of winning or losing, there is not much difference, not to mention that Messi did not play in this game in history.

After carefully studying Barcelona's lineup, Xiao Ming felt that he was too merciless to Barcelona - he didn't dig out any of the main players and core players, unlike the poor Real Madrid, the seven superstars were missing Figo and Ronaldo, and the results of the Galaxy Battleship were also greatly reduced.

"But it doesn't matter. Messi is under my command. At least if the catalyst for Dream Three teams is missing from Messi in the future, I'm afraid it will be a bit worse." Xiao Ming could only comfort himself in his heart.

But it is understandable to think about it. Xiao Ming always felt that they could not pose a threat to Barcelona. After all, in the years when Leiden Oriental became famous, with Figo's departure, Barcelona also began to fall into a four-year period without a crown. In addition, Ronaldo was dug to Leiden Oriental in advance, so their recovery speed was much slower. As for why he sold Ronaldo to Barcelona last summer - that was naturally Xiao Ming knew that Ronaldo had only been in the peak period for more than a year, and he still had the opportunity to get Messi and a large amount of cash. This kind of business would not be done.

Xiao Ming is a fool. If you ask why you don’t wait for another year, the 2006 World Cup will be a watershed in Ronaldo’s form. Ronaldo, who performed in the Champions League and La Liga, performed in the World Cup in an unfavorable manner. At that time, Barcelona would have to hesitate to spend more than it is worth it or not. Moreover, if Ronaldo is not here, Xiao Ming would not know whether Messi would emerge in Barcelona in advance to fill the vacancy of Ronaldo. It would not be a big problem for how much Ronaldo can sell at that time. It is estimated that Messi will find it difficult to get it through.

So Xiao Ming's regret flashed through it. Besides, no matter how powerful Barcelona is, isn't their fatal flaw in his hands? The midfield pressing will disrupt their offensive rhythm and use fast counterattacks to tear open their defense line - this is the best way to deal with Barcelona.

Theory is of course theory. If a team without strength is a team, even if they know how to deal with Barcelona, ​​they may have the will but lack strength. However, for a team like Leiden Oriental whose overall strength is no less than Barcelona or even surpasses the opponent in some aspects, if targeted arrangements are made, the winning rate is still quite high.

Unlike Real Madrid, although Barcelona is strong in offense and weak in defense, they are not bad at counter-attacks on the spot after conceding the ball in the frontcourt. Ronaldo is still a strong figure with six-pack abs and is active in running. Etoo has always been a very diligent player on the court. Deco Van Bomel has both offense and defense, and several defenders are also very good at running. The most important thing is that compared with Real Madrid's old and small midfielders, Barcelona's front-court offensive players' age structure is very reasonable, and both the cooperation and running ability are much higher than Real Madrid - this is why Barcelona has been able to suppress Real Madrid in the past two seasons.

This season, Rijkaard claimed that "the first team only needs fourteen players." Although this sentence is largely true, it is also a brag to a large extent - having such a personnel structure, age group and extremely reasonable lineup, of course, only fourteen players are needed. By next year, Rijkaard will not dare to say this.

Rijkaard watched Leyton Oriental's recent game against Villarreal. This superstar, who was quite irritable in his player age, looked much better after becoming a coach. He did not even show up in the previous battle of words, but allowed Etoo Ronaldo and others to play against Leyton Oriental.

So Xiao Ming never thought he was a particularly outstanding coach. In Xiao Ming's opinion, he was more successful because of his personal experience, just because his football philosophy is in line with Barcelona's traditional tactics and happens to have a group of outstanding players - in other words, he led the right team at a suitable time, and after being dismissed from Barcelona, ​​he has never achieved any good results, which also made Xiao Ming's evaluation of him a little lower.

Rijcard is a typical coach who "I don't care how to control the opponent's advantages, I just need to maximize my advantages." He can't be wrong with his approach, but once his team's condition and ability decline, he lacks a better way to respond. Historically, after the end of this season, Barcelona's strength next season is actually very strong. At least in the league, their strength should be stronger than Real Madrid. However, due to the unfavorable factor of several mistakes and poor record against Real Madrid in the two rounds, the unfavorable factor of winning only the runner-up in the same score, which directly led to the collapse of Meng Er team. In this regard, Rijcardcard has great responsibility. He brought a team that could have at least one or two seasons of glory to the point of collapse, which is also related to his prestige in the locker room that has not been established.

However, Rijcard is definitely a hard-working coach, and it is definitely not a lucky chance to lead Barcelona to such an outstanding record.

This season's Champions League, Barcelona is the team with the best offensive (although they scored one less goal in the knockout stage than Leiden Oriental, but in the group stage they scored two more goals than Leiden Oriental), and Leiden Oriental is the team with the best defense. They have only conceded three goals in a total of twelve games in the group stage to the knockout stage, and have not lost a single goal in the last eight games, which completely overturned the impression that people had previously believed that Leiden Oriental's offense was extremely excellent but their defense was not stable in many cases.

Rijcard didn't care too much about this - no matter how good the opponent's defense is, Rijcard wouldn't care too much. In his opinion, as long as his team's offense is characterized, he will definitely beat the opponent - Didn't Chelsea be beaten? Arsenal was beaten too, and even AC Milan, a team known as the world's strongest defense, was captured by Barcelona at home without any disorganization...

So Rijcard is more concerned about the situation under which his defense can make Leiden East's offense unthreatening - although Leiden East has reduced one center and added one midfield this season, making their defense much thicker, the offense on which his opponent Leiden East has become famous is still not abandoned, Rockin Claze, the wing combination of old and young is still sharp, and Messi Bentley, who is substitute, also has outstanding performance. In the center position, the two top forwards, Fanny and Ronaldo, are even more luxurious in rotation. Although the number of midfield rotation players is a little smaller, several midfielders are at their peak, each with their own characteristics and complement each other. Whether in the middle, side or in the penalty area, there are really few teams that can be compared with Leiden East - of course, Rijcard is quite confident that his team's offense is better than Leiden East.

Ronaldo has become more and more superstar potential this season. With Figo and Ronaldo leaving, Messi is still adapting to the Premier League, and Jin Kraze cannot take full responsibility, Leiden Oriental's frontcourt breakthrough and offensive pressure is basically pressing on Ronaldo. However, this is a player who likes the most big scene. This season, he has scored 18 goals and thirteen assists in the league, and five goals in the Champions League. Whether from the data or performance, this is a performance that only a top player can have.

Van Bronhorst, who was loaned from Arsenal, performed well at Barcelona this season, but no matter whether it is physical confrontation or technical characteristics, even if Rijkaard is confident in his compatriots, he doesn't feel able to stare at Ronaldo. What's more, Ronaldo is very active in the game. Not only on the right, but on the left and even in the penalty area, he can often see him in the penalty area. Many goals this season were goals he scored after rushing to the penalty area to compete for the top. Xiao Ming gave Ronaldo full freedom in the frontcourt, and Ronaldo also repaid Xiao Ming with his performance.

"The key point is still in the midfield." Rijcard said to himself. If Barcelona can gain the upper hand in the midfield, Ronaldo will naturally have fewer opportunities to get the ball, and the threat to Barcelona's defense will become much smaller. In the final analysis, Rijcard believes that Barcelona can only use their offensive expertise and use attack instead of defense to have a greater chance of winning.

"Maybe they will use counterattacks against us like they would against Real Madrid?" Rijcard thought this way, and his heart was a little relieved. If Xiao Ming really used this tactic, Jaccard would not be afraid. If the opponent voluntarily gave up the midfield and recovered defense, then Barcelona, ​​which has a broad pass organization space, will play smoother and smoother. The several Barcelona defenders are much better than Real Madrid in agility and defense. The main reason is that their two full-backs do not need to undertake too many assist tasks, nor do they often go up like Ciscinho and Carlos, and as long as there is no mistake in the backcourt, there will be no big problems.

"The first thing to consider is offense." Rijkaard thought in his mind that Jiuli's speed and technology should be able to suppress Ashley Cole. Even if it doesn't work, it can at least hold the opponent. Etoo in the middle cannot compare with the tall central defender of Leiden East in physical confrontation, but if you pass the ball behind you more, the Cameroon Cheetahs still have their own huge advantages.

As for the midfield confrontation, Rijkaard never thought that his midfield would be suppressed by the opponent. Van Bomel, Deco, and Xavi, these three people are not worse than the three midfielders of Leiden Oriental in terms of technology and confrontation. What's more, Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt have always been a tacit overall operational whole. In this regard, they have their own advantages against any team.

Now there is only one problem left - this problem was originally what Rijcard drew the least worries - that is Ronaldo, who performed well in the left winger of Barcelona. Now, at this position, Ronaldo is the best player in the world, no one.

However, what he has to face is the most difficult one among the opponent's defenders, and the spiritual leader of Leiden Oriental on the court and the de facto leader of Leiden Oriental - a member of the England national team, captain Leiden Oriental, who is 28 years old this year and is in his own age, physical condition and experience at the peak.
