Chapter 72： Barcelona

After returning from Liverpool, Yang Cheng began to prepare for the final competition of the German Bundesliga champions, because in the situation where the Winners Cup came to an end (the latest chapter of martial arts, www.81zw.com), Kaiserslautern But ushered in the final three decisive games to which the champion belongs.

Against Mainz on the road, Wolfsburg at home, and Hertha on the road, all three opponents are direct opponents of Kaiserslautern's championship and armor, plus the current points have been shortened to At 7 minutes, it is possible to overturn the boat in the gutter at any time, and I was careless for a moment.

Fortunately, with Fanny's opening, Kaiserslautern on the front line sat on the two frontline killers Marshall and Fanny, plus side players such as Denilson, Deisler, Fritz, Kaiser Slaughter's offense was second to none in the German Second Division.

On March 23, Kaiserslautern challenged Mainz away, Yang Cheng rotated the team, and the back line replaced Lucio, Kyle and Luis Hut with the three Bremers, and the midfielder On the other hand, Yang Cheng replaced the Belon starter of continuous operations recently with Deco.

Although the team's starting lineup has changed a lot, the status and strength of the players cannot be underestimated.Mainz played at home but played a defensive counterattack.Kaiserslautern mainly played anti-guest, attacking football, and successively. In the 25th and 68th minutes, Marshall and Barak laid the edge for Kaiserslautern.

2: 0 away beat Mainz, Kaiserslautern two consecutive victories.

A week later, the team ushered in Wolfsburg at home. This time, Yang Cheng did not keep his hands and tried his best to play. The clean 4: 0 will cut down the main competitors. Wolfsburg is in this game. In the game, the Red Devils completely flattened the spirit, and Marshall relied on the hat play of this game to further establish his throne of the German League second goalscorer.

With a three-game winning streak in the German Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern entered the April schedule.

On April 6, they challenged Hertha Berlin away.

In order to prepare for the 10th game to challenge Paris Saint-Germain, Yang Cheng once again rotated the game, and finally regretted the 1: 1 away game to tie with Hertha Berlin.

But on April 10, Yang Cheng led his team to Paris to challenge Paris Saint-Germain away.

Paris Saint-Germain, who is at home, has taken the power of defending champions.He also hopes to use his home advantage to overwhelm the weaker players in this second-tier German league, especially Joel Butts. There was a slogan to end the battle in the first round.

But in the game, Kaiserslautern, who was always known for 343 offensive football, suddenly changed to 451.

From the left to the right, Bremer, Kosch, Kyle, and Clemens Fritz; Gattuso served as a right-back, and Nedved, Belon and Barak were in the midfield. Lined up, Denilson is more forward,

It is also more free, with Marshall alone at the top.

Yang Cheng ’s sudden change suddenly caught Joel Butz off guard, because according to the information he collected before, Kaiserslautern ’s tactics have always been mainly 343, but now it is a modified version of 442. , This is indeed somewhat unexpected.

At the beginning of the game, when the roster was announced, the outside world was greatly shocked by Yang Cheng's tactics.After all, Kaiserslautern has not played such tactics this season. Very little effect.

In the voice of doubt, only Yang Cheng knew that in the super coach assistant system, the running-in degree of the first formation 343 reached 74 points, and the running-in degree of 442 he had arranged before and was often practiced in training. It also reached 63 points, so it is no problem to use it in the game.

Moreover, only the tactical formation has changed, but the core of Kaiserslautern is still the one that Yang Cheng instilled.

As the game progressed, everyone gradually discovered that Kaiserslautern's tactics restrained Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup.

Originally in this set of tactics, front midfielder Lay and Leonardo on the side were the most threatening players, but now Yang Cheng specifically focuses on this, focusing on attacking the side and using Denilson to contain Leonardo. With Denilson's personal ability on the wing, coupled with Bremer and Nedved's response, Leonardo did not dare to take the initiative.

In the middle road, Gattuso, Belon and Barak tightened the camp and joined forces to freeze Lai, cutting off the connection between Paris Saint-Germain and the backcourt, plus a Kyle who can be placed up and down, Kaiserslautern placed heavy soldiers in the middle.

Clements Fritz on the right is cooperating with Gattuso to control the offensive and defensive on the right, and even suddenly jumped forward frequently to create a killer, making the attack of Paris Saint-Germain always so worried.

Under this set of tactics, Paris Saint-Germain's offensive failed to open up the situation. Instead, it was Kaiserslautern, who was relying on the recently normalized Denilson on the sidewalk.The latter was on the left and Midway poses a huge danger to Paris Saint-Germain, and his personal breakthrough is almost beyond defense.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Kaiserslautern blocked the ball and fought back. Belon made a long pass to find Denilson on the left. The Brazilian passed a beautiful pass. Olaf Marshall pressured Paul Legan in the penalty area. Header scored, 0: 1!

This score was maintained until the end of the game. Kaiserslautern, with a bold change of targeted tactics, unexpectedly froze on the road, 1: 0 temporarily leading Paris Saint-Germain,

This result immediately excited the Red Devils fans, but since Dortmund and Schalke 04 both won in the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, this victory of Kaiserslautern did not cause much uproar.

Back in Kaiserslautern, the team immediately defeated the visiting Leipzig 4: 1 at home after a rotation. The Dutch striker Fannie scored twice again, showing his excellent goal status, especially his The confidence shown in the game gave Yang Cheng absolutely reason to be optimistic about his future.

Every striker must exercise this confidence in continuous goals. Only with this confidence can they dare to boldly play in the game. Now Fanny is walking on such a road. He is more and more confident, and his performance will be better and better.

However, in the 26th round of the league, the away challenge to Gutersloh, in order to prepare for the European Cup Winners' Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, Yang Cheng rotated most of the team's main lineups. The final away 1: 1 was tied by the conservative Gütersloh, Deco scored a winning goal and Fanny ’s momentum of consecutive goals was temporarily ended.

However, it is gratifying that Kaiserslautern returned to home to return to 343's familiar tactics, and with two goals from Marshall and Belon, he defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at home and Lay In the first half, Paris Saint-Germain scored an equalizer, but as soon as the second half opened, Belon's direct free kick again exceeded the score.

After the end of the two rounds, Kaiserslautern eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 3-1, and unbelievably reached the European Cup Winners' Cup final.

In Florence, although Purple Lily fought tenaciously in the first round of the game, with the 65th minute goal of the **** of war Batistuta, the 1-1 away draw tied the powerful Barcelona.

But Batty received a red card at the last moment and had to miss the second round of the game, resulting in Rui Costa stunned, losing to Barcelona at home 0: 2, and with a total score of 1: 3,

Sadly leave the European Cup of Winners.

In this way, the two teams of the European Cup Winners Cup final were born, which is Kaiserslautern of the German Bundesliga, against the super giant Barcelona of the Spanish First Division, the time is scheduled for May 14, the final The venue took place at the De Kuip Stadium in Feyenoord, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

That is to say, from the second round of the semi-finals to the finals, the total time is only 20 days. From the point of view of preparation, it is indeed too hasty, especially when facing the star-studded Barcelona.

…………

…………

Sitting on the sofa in his office, the TV in front of him was playing Barcelona's game against Florence again and again.

Although many people in the outside world think that Barcelona was tied by Florence at home in the first round, it is very embarrassing, but in fact, anyone who has really watched the game and understands the confrontation between the two rounds of the knockouts knows that Florence seems to account for the first round. It's as cheap as possible, but it actually laid the groundwork for the second round.

Barcelona at home is undoubtedly powerful. Ronaldo, Figo, Enrique and Guardiola are all the top stars in today's football. Their offensive combination is undoubtedly the most frightening in football today.

"If my memory is correct, Barcelona will score 100 goals in La Liga this season, it seems to be 102!" Yang Cheng said with a wry smile.

Think about it, during the season, after Real Madrid purchased Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso, Benzema and other superstars, Pellegrini's team scored 102 goals in La Liga. Moreover, the fierce competition in La Liga at that time was far inferior compared with the present.

One can imagine how powerful this team's offense is.

Of course, although Barcelona's offense is strong this season, there are many loopholes in defense. At least Bobby Robson's team is 8 points behind Real Madrid today because Capello is better at defending than Robson. .

However, in Spain, fans are more in favor of Robson and disdain Capello's football style.

Faced with Barcelona, ​​Kaiserslautern defensive counterattack is a must. To fight against such a Barcelona, ​​it is definitely a light in the toilet to find a death, but the key is how to defend and counterattack!

When Yang Cheng had a headache, the office door was knocked.

\ "You really are here!" Paul Bayer and Tim Hank walked into the office one after the other.

They came to sit next to Yang Cheng and saw the video of Barcelona's game playing repeatedly on TV, and a frowning Yang Cheng.

\ "It ’s already more than 7 o'clock, are you not going to eat something?" Tim asked with a concerned smile.

\ "Oh, **** it!" Yang Cheng slapped his forehead, \ "Just watching the video, the time was forgotten."

All three laughed suddenly.

From the moment I heard that the Winners Cup final against Barcelona, ​​Yang Cheng looked very worried.

It's easy to understand, because few people in the world today will be optimistic about Kaiserslautern, unless it is the team that wants to bet on Kaiserslautern in the end.

\ "Although most of the media now sing the sorrowful songs to us all, but no one praises us!" Paul? Bayer saw Yang Cheng was in a bad mood and deliberately diverted the topic.

\ "Oh? Praise?" Yang Cheng thought the word was very interesting.

\ "At least we have once again defended the tradition of the Winners’ Cup and rejected the defending of Paris Saint-Germain! "

Yang Cheng was stunned for a while, but soon he laughed a lot, which somewhat diminished some of the pressure caused by Barcelona's power, but the giant Barcelona was always the shadow of Yang Cheng's heart.

In the history of the Winners' Cup, there have been 6 last season's champions reached this season's finals with the intention of defending, but no team has ever defended, and this season's Paris Saint-Germain is no exception. .

In fact, Yang Cheng knows that even without the appearance of Kaiserslautern, Paris Saint-Germain cannot win Barcelona because it is almost one of the most powerful teams in football today. As long as you think about it, Ronaldo, Figo, Guardiola gathered together in a team, what a grand scene.

\ "Tinker Ranieri ’s Florence, despite its poor record this season, is still one of the strongest teams in Serie A. Batistuta and Rui Costa ’s cooperation is even more perfect, but They were still defeated by Barcelona. This cannot be said simply because of a red card from Batistuta! "

You know, in the second round of the game, Ronaldo scored the first goal at the beginning of the game, but the penalty was invalid. Otherwise, the result of this game should be a 3: 0 victory, although Florence ’s defeat was pulled by La Nelly's conservative faction, but Barcelona's strength is also beyond doubt.

Another point is the schedule of the league and the influence of Real Madrid.

The first round of the match happened to be between the 32nd and 33rd rounds of La Liga.In the 32nd round, Real Madrid unexpectedly suffered a draw at home by an underdog.This is definitely a godsend for Barcelona, ​​who opened a huge gap by Real Madrid, so in Barcelona's game against Florence in the middle of the week seemed a bit distracting, and their minds were all thrown into the weekend challenge to Atletico Madrid.

As a result, the match was tied in the first round, but Barcelona narrowed the gap between them and Real Madrid from the original 9 points to 7 points. The Barcelona saw the hope of defeat.

But in the next two rounds of the league, Barcelona unexpectedly lost to Valladolid, Real Madrid suffered a draw at Valencia, and the gap between the two teams expanded to 8 points, leaving 7 in the league. Under the situation of the round (the latest chapter of the military martial arts www.81zw.com), this gap is irreversible.

Coupled with the two-week suspension of La Liga at this time, Barcelona began to devote all its energy to the Winners Cup, so there was a second round of purple lily.

\ "I watched the La Liga schedule. On May 11, the 37th round of La Liga greeted Real Madrid at the Camp Nou stadium. At present, the difference between the points of the two teams is 8 points, as long as in the 36th round, the two **** If the team does not continue to widen the score gap, Barcelona will definitely try their best in this game! "

Paul Bayer pointed to a La Liga schedule in front of himself and introduced Yang Cheng to the next La Liga situation.

With 3 points in a game, as long as they win Real Madrid at home, the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid will be reduced to 5 points, there are 6 rounds left in the league, everything is possible!

Yang Cheng thought of this, could not help but agree with Paul? Bayer's analysis.

\ "In the 38th round, on May 17, Barcelona challenged Celta away. As long as the situation in the 37th round was slightly inclined to Barcelona, ​​Bobby Robson had no reason to give up this game. By that time, The winner of the midweek Winners Cup final will be affected! "Paul Bayer continued to analyze.

\ "But with Real Madrid ’s momentum this season, Barcelona are unlikely to overtake. They will really affect this nearly ten-for-nine situation for the unknown situation (the latest chapter of the military martial arts www.81zw.com). Is it the final? "Tim Hank thought Bobby Robson was unlikely.

But Yang Cheng suddenly laughed and said with certainty: "Yes, I will!"

Others may not know the grievances between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Yang Cheng knows it clearly. Although the hatred of the two teams has not been intensified, the importance of the Century Derby is self-evident. Coupled with the impact of league points, Bobby Robson will definitely do his best in the home game against Real Madrid.

This is Kaiserslautern's opportunity!

The thought of Yang Cheng suddenly relieved the whole person. The feeling of being almost breathless just now was relieved a lot.

When the head coach is indeed an inhuman abuse, especially in the pressure and combat against the head coach, if Yang Cheng is just a fan, he will feel that Kaiserslautern beat Barcelona, ​​in case they lose, although they will be injured, although very It's uncomfortable, but his life still has to continue, and the days have to go on as usual.

But when the head coach is not good, because this game is related to the hard work and hard work of each player of the team for a season, they put all their hopes on Yang Cheng.A decision by Yang Cheng may be rejected at any time. Their efforts throughout the season.

It was also at this time that Yang Cheng was able to understand why there are often so many players who leave the team that has treated him well, just because they can't win the championship. If there is no person who has experienced it, it is impossible to understand the frustration of.

Now Yang Cheng wants to prevent this frustration from coming to his team as much as possible!

At the same time, he has to start thinking about, from now on, he has developed a set of training and game plans for the team against Barcelona in the next 20 days. Make every effort to adjust the player's state and morale to allow them to reach a complete peak state against Barcelona.

Only in this way can Kaiserslautern have the strength to fight Barcelona!
