Chapter 519： 3rd ball

Falling in love with youkanshu.com, starting from coaching Real Madrid

Begiristan sat in the stands, brows furrowed, and his face dignified.

He didn't know that at this moment, not far from him, the area where the Italian coaches gathered, was discussing the match tonight and how similar it was to the classic decisive battle 15 years ago. .

But it was also true in his mind. He couldn't help but think of that game involuntarily.

Really similar!

And, it's getting more and more similar!

Although he is a famous Barcelona legend and is now the technical director of Barcelona, ​​Begiristan is not actually a Catalan.

He is from the Basque Country in northern Spain, debuted at Real Sociedad, played for Barcelona for seven years, experienced and witnessed the rise and fall of the entire Barcelona Dream Team, and then returned to Deportivo in the north, and later, He went to Japan.

Many people think that he is the core force of Cruyff's Dream Phase I and a capable soldier, but in fact, many of his concepts and ideas are different from Cruyff's. He is still the northern Basque hero. The blood of the lion.

This allowed him to see and feel more.

In the battle at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Barcelona was a complete defeat.

Although Baresi and Costacurta, the two main central defenders of AC Milan, are absent, but Barcelona's offense still has nothing to do with them. Let Barcelona's attack completely misfire.

Romario and Stoichkov are more in individual performances, and the team can't find a familiar rhythm at all.

Yes, rhythm!

Whether it is Cruyff or Guardiola, they are only good at playing in a special, familiar rhythm of the game. As long as they are in this rhythm, they can play very smoothly and be invincible.

However, if there is an external force to force them out of the familiar track and rhythm, they will find that their ability to adapt is really poor, and they don't even know how to play football.

Capello's team completely blocked Barcelona's offensive firepower in the first half, and scored two goals through two counterattacks.

This made AC Milan completely relaxed, but Barcelona was anxious.

Less than two minutes into the second half, Savicevic scored the third goal with a lob from almost no angle.

By that moment, Barcelona had completely collapsed.

Begiristan also clearly remembers that Cruyff replaced Savicevic shortly after his goal.

Replacing him is Eusevio Sachristan, a short midfielder, in the hope that he can strengthen the team's midfield control and help Barcelona stabilize the midfield.

Ironically, a few minutes later, Albertini assisted Desailly and scored a goal.

It was precisely the midfield that Cruyff wanted to strengthen, and was once again completely smashed by AC Milan from the front.

That game can almost be said to be the most tragic loss in Barcelona's history, and Begiristan also clearly remembers the powerlessness of all Barcelona players on the pitch.

It's like at this moment, when facing Naples at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Barcelona doesn't know what to do.

We are already two goals behind, we must attack.

But the rhythm of the game was completely different from the channel he was most familiar with. Naples defended with ease, and at the same time was ready to launch a sharp counterattack to penetrate Barcelona's defense.

Attack, the risk is very high; if you don't attack, you will die!

The most terrifying thing is that, as a pass-and-control team, the most taboo thing for Barcelona is to be anxious.

Patience is the psychological quality that a pass-and-control team must have, but the question is, how can there be no hurry now that we are two goals behind? How can you not be nervous? How to stay calm and calm?

The answer is, there is really no way!

Players are people too, they are not machines.

This becomes a contradiction that cannot be reconciled.

At times, Begiristan felt that Guardiola resembled Cruyff in many ways.

They are all like philosophers and thinkers, always thinking about all kinds of complex issues, always persistently pursuing the best and most beautiful football in their minds.

The only difference is that before that final, Cruyff was really disdainful of AC Milan, thinking that Barcelona's victory was inevitable, while Guardiola played against Gao Shen tonight and was particularly unconfident from the very beginning.

As for why he was not confident, Begiristan could understand.

His body has been deeply imprinted by Gao Shen.

If there is another fiasco tonight, Guardiola will be embarrassed when he encounters high and profound in his life.

…………

…………

After taking a two-goal lead, Napoli almost grabbed the Big Ear Cup with one hand.

This goal was a big blow to Barcelona, ​​but Guardiola still had no idea of ​​adjustment.

In fact, now he doesn't know how to adjust.

Going back to 4, 3, 3, that is equivalent to returning to the style of play in the first half, the key is that there is one less Yaya Toure in the back line.

Once this adjustment is made, it will be a more painful blow to the morale of the team.

The biggest problem now is in the midfield.

Barcelona's midfield can't stop Naples, especially when Webber's enforcement of physical and fouls is more lax than La Liga standards, which is equivalent to helping Naples to have more physical contact with Barcelona.

Guardiola has played in Serie A himself, so he knows very well how Serie A players use the rules and how to control the scale of fouls.

The most obvious one, so far, after more than 60 minutes, there has been a yellow card in the audience.

That's what Pique got by fouling Cavani. In addition, Napoli fouled a lot, but got the card?

nonexistent.

Yes, Naples didn't even get a yellow card, which is outrageous.

But this is the truth!

If Webber is partial to Naples, it's a bit unreasonable. The most important thing is that Naples are very good at grasping the referee's law enforcement standards.

In this regard, Barcelona is indeed inferior to its opponents.

In this regard, Barcelona really has no good way except protesting and putting pressure on the referee.

And Guardiola has a vague feeling that Webber doesn't seem to like this way of protest from Barcelona players.

Thinking of this, Guardiola was also quite helpless.

What's more terrible is that time is still on the opposite side of Barcelona.

It's not that Guardiola hasn't thought about it, and he will fight to the death with Naples, but he is not too sure.

With the ability to train the defense in a high-level manner, once Barcelona is desperately pressing, maybe they can seize the advantage in the situation, but it is not easy to break the goal of Naples, but it is their own defense line...

……

Just when Guardiola was distressed, as soon as Messi in front pulled back to get the ball, he was immediately trapped by Thiago Motta.

The Brazilian midfielder's performance tonight was very eye-catching. Although Messi didn't concede the ball, he was forced to pass back to Iniesta, but Rakitic also blocked Iniesta for the first time, forcing Xiaobai Had to cross the ball to the left to find Sylvinho.

But just as Sylvinho received the ball, Sanchez suddenly jumped out from behind and intercepted the ball first.

Both Sylvinho and Iniesta were shocked and immediately counterattacked on the spot.

But after Sanchez took a step back, he quickly passed the ball to Rakitic who ran to the neutral position for the first time, then turned and rushed forward.

Iniesta could no longer care about Sanchez, and immediately rushed towards Rakitic.

The Croatian midfielder made a cross to the middle. Thiago Motta came forward to catch the ball. After stopping, he glanced ahead and took a half-high ball directly to the center of the top of the penalty area.

Cavani is Pique on the right, Busquets behind, Puyol on the left, and Xavi who is chasing back in front, surrounded by Barcelona defenders.

But the Uruguayan center grabbed the most favorable position and stopped Thiago Motta's pass with his chest. He still used his body to block Pique and Busquets behind him, and before Xavi came back, he kicked the ball with his feet. He stopped to his left, which is Puyol's side.

Puyol rushed towards Cavani for the first time, and he was about to form a siege for the Uruguayan center.

But after Cavani stopped the ball with his right foot, with his side facing the goal, he swept the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.

The ball was sent by Cavani into the Barcelona penalty area.

Almost at this moment, Sanchez, who had just returned to the defense to grab the ball, swept past Puyol at the fastest speed, like a gust of wind, making Puyol too late to turn around and catch up.

Just saw the Chilean winger rush into Barcelona's penalty area from behind Puyol, and before Valdes hits the ball, he kicks the ball and Kankan avoids Valdes.

After wading through Valdés, the rest is much easier.

Sanchez caught up with the football before the bottom line and easily pushed the empty goal.

"goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"

"Three to zero!!!"

"Three to zero!!!"

"It's Naples' quick counterattack again It's the cooperation between the middle and the wing!"

"Sanchez scored the third goal of the game for Napoli!"

"It was definitely a fantastic goal!"

Sanchez rushed out of the pitch, slipped all the way to his knees under the stand where the Naples fans were, and laughed out loud.

Behind him, the Naples players chased out one after another, and even the players on the bench rushed out frantically, surrounded him, and celebrated the goal on the sidelines.

Three to zero!

The game is almost seventy minutes.

Naples can basically be said to be the winner!

The fanatical Naples fans are cheering wildly, cheering wildly!

First they were shouting Sanchez's name, Cavani, looking at the names of every player, cheering for them.

When they saw Sanchez and others walking back, they ran to the coach's bench and gave Gao Shen a high five and hug. Nearly 30,000 Naples fans in the audience were shouting Gao Shen frantically.

Three to zero!

This is definitely something no one thought of before the game.

But he just happened.

The possession rate was in the early 30s, but Naples ripped apart Barcelona's defense again and again through sharp counterattacks.

High and profound contributions are indispensable!

He is the soul of this Neapolitan team!
