1009 The Fury of Camp Nou

On the evening of April 24, Camp Nou Stadium.

When the head coach Kakir, from Turkey, blew the whistle to the end of the ninety-minute game, the Camp Nou Stadium, which was filled with 95,845 fans, turned silent and fell into a dead silence.

The Barcelona players on the court were all slumped on the court weakly at the moment when the whistle sounded. Many players even covered their faces and cried bitterly. The opposite was Real Madrid players. Everyone was cheering and cheering. Many players even rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with Ancelotti and Zidane in front of the visiting team coach's seat.

The scoreboard shows the final result of this game, zero to three, international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

Barcelona suffered an unprecedented shameful defeat, regrettably eliminated from the Champions League. Computer::/

This is why the Camp Nou stands are silent!

...

In fact, this is not a hopeless game.

After a 0-5 away defeat, Guardiola returned to home court to form a three-guard formation, showing his determination to win.

Puyol, Pique and Alves are already very aggressive. Midfielder Busquets dragged behind, Iniesta and Xavi were in the center, and Fabregas broke into a small midfield diamond, which is also the strong attack formation that Barcelona has repeatedly wiped out their opponents this season.

Sanchez, Messi and Cuenca form a trident, among which Cuenca is the most eye-catching rookie in Barcelona this season.

It should be said that Guardiola has already arranged the strongest attack lineup he can, and at the beginning of the game, Barcelona also showed great offensiveness, suppressing Real Madrid in a very embarrassing manner throughout the first half.

Ancelotti still had two midfielders, but this time it was a combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano.

Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Aveloa took over the main players in the defense, while Kakachu was in front of him, Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben formed a trident.

Real Madrid and Barcelona both play with the strongest lineup, and neither side slacked off at all.

If Barcelona fell to the ground and controlled the scene in the first half, then after the halftime break, Real Madrid's sudden counterattack at the beginning of the second half caught Barcelona off guard.

In just three minutes, Real Madrid launched an attack on the left, Yang Yang planned the offensive, Marcelo moved a long pass to the right, and handed it to Robben, who was unguarded. The Dutch Wing then dribbled the ball from the right, threw Puyol away and hit the goal, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

Afterwards, Real Madrid used another corner kick opportunity to cooperate tactically and passed to Yang Yang's feet outside the penalty area. Yang Yang passed the ball with his right foot and Ramos headed the ball from close range to win another goal for Real Madrid.

Four minutes later, another assist from Yang Yang helped Kaka score a goal and helped Real Madrid secure the victory.

This is the whole process of the competition.

Through this efficient counterattack and set-piece tactic, Real Madrid tore open Barcelona's defense three times in a row, and eventually pushed Guardiola's team into the abyss of despair.

The home court is zero to three and the total score is zero to eight. This is definitely the most shameful defeat in Barcelona's century history, and it also lost to his mortal enemy Real Madrid, which is even more awesome.

The dead silence of the fans at Camp Nou Stadium is only temporary. They are enduring the volcano that is about to burst out in their hearts. They are dissatisfied with the management, the coaching staff, the players, and everything!

They want to vent, and they need someone to stand up and take responsibility, no matter who he is!

Gradually, a faint boo sounded in the stands, and then it became louder and more obvious. In the end, the entire stadium was booing, and it was hard to tell whether it was booing Real Madrid or Barcelona.

But soon, some fans began to draw slogans on the spot, shouting slogans and slogans that Guardiola would be dismissed and Rosel would be out of class. Some more extreme fans directly attacked Barcelona players, believing that they were all a group of cowards and were beaten like this by their opponents at home.

The public opinion was raging, like the sky collapsed and the earth broke, sweeping across the entire Camp Nou Stadium, showing a huge momentum.

…………

…………

Guardiola stood straight in front of the home team coach's seat, staring straight at the stadium and facing the fans.

This season's experience taught him a lot and also taught him a painful lesson.

In the past, he always thought that football was a game of probability, just like possession of the ball. As long as Barcelona grasps possession of the ball as much as possible, and controls the ball in the opponent's hinterland for a longer time, the probability of winning will continue to increase.

In fact, his first season in coaching was the most successful, and he almost won everything except for a Champions League.

Benitez came to La Liga with Liverpool's great success. Florentino's restoration also brought superstars such as Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Kaka to Real Madrid, and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

Guardiola has been reflecting on the transfer in 2009 recently. He feels that Barcelona's biggest regret is that the team missed Yang Yang, which led to Real Madrid's rapid improvement in strength and a top superstar who can compete with Messi or even surpass Messi. In addition, there is another player that makes Guardiola feel regretful.

That's Mascherano.

Argentina's midfielder joined Real Madrid, allowing Real Madrid's long-time weak waist to straighten. Then Florentino and Valdano also tasted the sweetness, and took advantage of the situation to introduce Barcelona's interest from Athletic Bilbao.

One has increased and the other has declined. Real Madrid's extremely successful teaming strategy has allowed them to suppress Barcelona in the past three years.

Of course, the most important thing is Yang Yang, known as [Barsagittarius].

In the past four years, Guardiola has been evolving and improving with Barcelona. He has continuously improved the team's playing style and tried various changes constantly, which has enabled him and Barcelona to win a great respectful position in the world football world.

Yes, their grades are not as good as Real Madrid, but their football philosophy that transcends the times has won them respect from everyone.

No one can ignore such a team, including Real Madrid.

But Guardiola seriously overlooked one thing, that is, the hearts of the people.

In the past few years, Spanish football has been extremely successful. After winning the European Cup, it won the World Cup again, and this year it aims directly to the European Cup. This will become a historical event in European football. The Spanish national team has Barcelona players as the team, which inevitably makes Barcelona players self-inflation.

To put it simply, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Guardiola to make these people pay for the team again.

Xavi and Puyol have changed from being a veteran in their years of fighting. They have experienced many battles and are world champions. Pique has become more ostentatious and active in various occasions. He found a beautiful entertainment superstar to be his girlfriend. This is not a bad thing, but he is no longer the Pique who was frustrated when he turned from Manchester United to Barcelona.

There is also Messi, who was a young genius who was just a fledgling young man, but now he is the top superstar in the world football world. He is determined to surpass Yang Yang and take the podium of the FIFA Awards Conference in January.

...

Too many interests are intertwined in Barcelona's locker room, and even Guardiola cannot completely sort it out.

At this moment, he stood in front of the home team coach's seat, thinking how similar the Barcelona under his coach was to Cruyff's last coaching?

All of them were shameful defeats one after another, and they were all turbulent and uneasy in the locker room.

Guardiola has enough prestige to sway the locker room. In fact, in the Barcelona locker room, no one dared to provoke his authority so far, including Xavi and Iniesta, who were once placed on the bench by him, all chose to obey.

But no one provoked it, it does not mean that everyone is truly convinced.

Which one should be more, Cuenca or Pedro?

Can Thiago replace Harvey?

In this game, is it appropriate for Fabregas and Messi to serve as liberos in the middle of the field?

Do the players have no doubts?

Suspicion is like a seed buried in the soil, which will soon take root, sprout, and finally break out of the soil.

Guardiola clearly felt the change in the atmosphere within the team. Although everyone still obeyed his arrangements and instructions as always, he could feel the barrier between him and them, which was something called [Suspicion].

After doubt, it is a fear of the unknown.

They began to worry about whether they would fall out of favor, they began to worry about whether they would be cleansed, and they even worried about whether they would lose their main position...

Guardiola himself experienced the end of Cruyff's coaching career. He knew very clearly what the locker room in Barcelona looked like at that time, so he also understood that he was in the environment where Cruyff was in back then.

The Dutch chose to escape, what about him?

Guardiola began to realize that he had forgotten one thing in the past four years, that football always depends on players to play.

He pursues a tactical realm of being a natural offense and defense. He hopes that his players can regard tactical creed as an instinct. Barcelona has indeed done this in the past four years, but in the past year, they have begun to doubt it.

First, the league made consecutive away mistakes, and began to fall behind Real Madrid by a large score. Then, the Champions League has also been humiliated by Real Madrid in a shameful score. At this moment, Guardiola doesn't even know how to play in the next two centuries of derby?

Can you still play?

From the moment he bet on Tiago and other young players failed, he was no longer the unquestionable authority in Barcelona's locker room. He fell from the altar to the earthly world, and he began to accept criticism and accusations, and even doubts.

Guardiola has no way to tell others why he chose Thiago, Troy, and Cuenca, just as if he has no way to tell others why he trusted Pique, who was not favored at Manchester United back then.

He has no way to solve the locker room problem, and he has no way to eliminate the players' suspicion of him.

Then he only has one choice.
