Starting with Real Madrid Chapter 72

Whenever Real Madrid meets Barcelona, ​​the whole world looks forward to it.

Fans call this match the National Derby, or the Derby of the Century.

Before the game, some media wrote that the first derby of the century in 2006 came at a bad time, because both teams are currently distracted from the Champions League, Barcelona is plagued by injuries, and Real Madrid is in turmoil. , resulting in both teams unable to play their strongest strength.

However, some people think that the more in this situation, the more it can reflect the heritage and strength of the two teams.

In the past, before each national derby, the Spanish media would warm up two weeks in advance. This is a higher treatment than the Champions League final, which shows the importance Spain attaches to this game.

But this year, there is no way.

Before the Clasico, both teams struggled hard and neither played very well.

Barcelona drew 0-0 with Benfica away in Portugal, although many people said that Rijkaard was using his strength to play the national derby, but who knows this kind of thing?

He didn't score in the away game. What if he was upset by Benfica when he returned to Camp Nou?

Real Madrid was also very unhappy. After finally reversing Arsenal from the round of 16, they drew Juventus 0-0 away in the first round of the quarter-finals. Yes, it was Real Madrid who drew with Juventus.

For almost the whole game, Real Madrid was extremely embarrassed by Juventus, and in the end, relying on the team's defense, they barely retreated.

Whether it is against Juventus, or the previous La Liga, or even against Arsenal, the current Real Madrid has long lost even half of the style of the previous Real Madrid in the Galaxy Battleship period.

Especially to reuse a 25-year-old rookie as the team's head coach, this is an ancient anecdote.

Before the game, the media of both teams made their own momentum.

Real Madrid has conceded five consecutive matches in La Liga and won five consecutive victories. It seems that the momentum is very strong. It is entirely possible to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou to further shorten the points gap.

The media on Barcelona's side believes that Rijkaard's second dream team will completely tear off Real Madrid's fig leaf at Camp Nou.

If it is said that the media is only arguing, then the fans who bet at the bookmaker are betting with real money.

Three to one!

This is a score favored by nearly half of the lottery players. It is an international practice that the home team is in the front and the away team is behind.

That is to say, nearly half of the fans believe that Barcelona will beat Real Madrid 3-1 at home.

Barcelona midfielder Deco said in an interview with the media: "By defeating Real Madrid, Barcelona can win the championship ahead of schedule!"

Captain Puyol also believes that if this game is won, Barcelona will be able to win the championship in advance, but if they lose, it will not have the slightest impact on the overall situation of La Liga. "Even if we lose, we are still two points ahead, so our mentality will be better than the opponent."

Kick more relaxed!

This is also what Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​emphasized in his column.

Cruyff believes that Barcelona has an absolute advantage on the psychological level and can play more easily and calmly.

Five points behind in the standings forced Real Madrid to win at Camp Nou in order to maintain the pressure on Barcelona, ​​but this in itself was a shackle on Real Madrid.

Cruyff said that apart from injuries, Rijkaard's team has no problems, the team's ability to create opportunities is still very strong, including the game against Benfica, or the draw and loss in the league. Lots of opportunities.

"The dominant advantage proves that Barcelona is indeed better than his opponents. The failure to convert the advantage into a goal is not just a matter of luck. The team needs to make some adjustments in the details, such as playing more directly and efficiently. Some."

Cruyff's implication is that Barcelona should avoid excessive sticking of the ball and attack in a simpler, direct and fast way.

In addition, Cruyff also suggested that Rijkaard strengthen the pressure on Real Madrid's defense. He even felt that the team could take more crosses at the front of Real Madrid's penalty area to pull out the offensive space. Create opportunities.

"In a small area, accurate and fast delivery, this is the advantage of Barcelona."

In the end, Cruyff concluded that Rijkaard and his Barcelona would teach Real Madrid a hard lesson at Camp Nou!

"Even, I don't think I'd be surprised at all if the Bernabeu is like a three-to-zero victory."

Whether it's Cruyff or the media, these are all external factors.

But as Barcelona's head coach, Rijkaard has no way to think about things like they do.

Even on game day morning, he hadn't decided what starting lineup to take.

Because he has been thinking about a question: Will Ronaldo start?

So much so that in the morning, when the first-team coaching staff of Barcelona was in a meeting, Rijkaard frowned the whole time.

"Last night, after Real Madrid arrived in Barcelona, ​​they checked into the hotel by the sea, and haven't come out since. According to the information we got, they held a simple birthday party for Ramos in the hotel."

"Wait!" Tenkat yelled to stop when he heard this, "What birthday party?"

With the battle imminent, Real Madrid still has the intention to hold a birthday party?

"Ramos' birthday, it is said that the head coach Gao Shen told the hotel to prepare in advance, and everyone in the team participated."

"Including Ronaldo?" Tenkat asked again.

"Um."

After Ten Carter got a positive answer, he turned to look at head coach Rijkaard and found that he didn't speak the whole time.

"If Ronaldo really starts, then our formation will be changed, especially the central defender, Oleg, Van Bommel and Cocu cannot play this position, let Thiago Motta follow Pu Joel partner."

Rijkaard put his arms around his chest and never spoke.

He has been wondering, will Ronaldo start?

According to his original idea, Real Madrid did not need Negredo, but instead let Ronaldo start. He wanted Belletti to rest, Oleg went to the right, Motta came back to play central defender, and partnered with Puyol.

When Van Bommel played with Oleg against Benfica, his performance was quite average. This time he wanted to try Motta.

This is also something that can't be helped. Both Edmilson and Marcos are injured, and Barcelona's central defender is seriously lacking.

Oleg has excellent physical condition, but is poor in speed and flexibility. If it is Negredo, he can handle it, but playing Ronaldo is a problem.

The most important thing is that Ronaldo's movement is too cunning.

Belletti has started for several consecutive games, and he is indeed a little tired.

Rijkaard struggled all night. Now that time is getting tighter and tighter, he could no longer think about it any more. He looked at Ten Carter and asked, "Do you think Ronaldo will start?"

Tenkat was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think we should plan for the worst, and we have to try to score in front and open up the situation first. At that time, whether Ronaldo starts or not will not be the case. important."

Rijkaard still frowned, but what Tenkat said was not without reason.

"That's it, let Oleg play the central defender, partner with Puyol, and Belletti will hold on for one more game."

Amid the boiling noise, Gao Shen finally walked into this hall dreamed by fans all over the world.

Camp Nou, Barcelona.

More than 98,000 fans gathered at the scene. Except for a few Real Madrid fans in the corner, all of them were **** Barcelona fans.

When the players of Gao Shen and Real Madrid came on the field, the scene was booed.

That kind of feeling is like tearing a person into pieces.

As soon as Gao Shen walked out of the player tunnel, his first reaction was to turn around and look at the stands above his head, and searched around cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Lucas was surprised by Gao Shen's reaction.

"I'm afraid of a pig's head." Gao Shen replied.

Lucas, Buenaventura and the others all burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, Camp Nou has no pig's head now." Maquida said happily.

Sometimes he thinks that Gao Shen is really interesting.

Of course, when he was forced to be a tool man, he was particularly annoying.

Gao Shen pouted, with a dissatisfied expression that you know so much.

"It's not that I'm over-hearted, the main reason is that this matter is very evil." Gao Shen shook his head and muttered.

The referee tonight is Alfonso Perez Brewer.

Haven't heard of this name?

That's right.

This guy is not a top referee even in Spain, but the problem is that on October 21, 2000, in the sixth round of La Liga, it was also at the Camp Nou, where Real Madrid played against Barcelona. , UU reading www. uukanshu.com is also Brewer's whistle.

It was that night that a big pig's head was thrown from the stand.

Six years later, we met again.

"Gao, I remember, you said that you are not superstitious." Lucas asked with a curious smile.

"Yes, I'm not superstitious." Gao Shen replied.

"Then you still believe this?" Lucas was puzzled.

Gao Shen waved his hand towards him, "I'm looking forward to them throwing a pig's head for me too!"

Now not only Lucas, Buenaventura and Maqueda are all stupid.

And something like this?

Gao Shen looked at their appearance, too lazy to explain to them, these guys know shit.

If the Barcelona fans really threw him a big pig head, he would be on fire.

Even if I don't coach in the future, I go back to China and say this directly in the media: Back then, when I took Real Madrid to play with Barcelona, ​​the fans of Camp Nou threw me with pig heads. What a memory!

These days, if you want to be an internet celebrity, you must have some memory.

Just like some famous singers, a song can be sung repeatedly for decades.

Of course, this is not bad. Some popular singers who have never been popular for a single song can still be popular all over the country.

Lucas, Buenaventura and others, where would they know the broken thoughts in Gao Shen's heart, even if they knew it, they would not be able to understand.

However, Rijkaard, who came out after Gao Shen, was obviously not in such a good mood as Gao Shen.

I don't know if it was because of the lighting, but the face of the Dutch Black Swan was obviously darker than usual.

Especially when he looked at the depths in front of the visiting team's coach, he clearly seemed to be breathing fire.

Why?

Ronaldo didn't start!
