Carlos Rexac was the former great star of Barcelona.

I don't know when it started, but many Barcelona like to compare their children with their arch-rivals Real Madrid. For example, they like to say that Reina is Barcelona's own Casillas, and they like to say that Puyol will become Barcelona's Erro, and this season, they will say that Carlos Rexac is Barcelona's Bosque.

There is no doubt that judging from his performance on the football field, Rexac would surpass Boske because he was one of the most capable teammates beside Cruyff, who was at Europa at that time. However, in the field of head coaching, Boske, who had already achieved success, is not comparable to Rexac.

But one thing can be said is that the encounter between Rexach and Boske is a bit similar.

As a former meritorious player of Barcelona, ​​Rexach entered Barcelona's technical department after retirement. Later, he served as an assistant to Aragones and Cruyff. In 1991, Cruyff had surgery due to heart problems. During this period, he was led by Rexach. His score was 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 9 games, which was very outstanding.

In other words, the most glorious season of Barcelona Dream I actually had important contributions to Rexac.

A few years later, Cruyff was dismissed and the fire was saved by assistant coach Rexac, but he was soon dismissed because Barcelona chose Bobby Robson at that time, and Rexac returned to coaching the youth team.

Many people who are optimistic about Rexacia think that his situation is very similar to Real Madrid's Bosque. They have put out fires several times and demonstrated their strength several times, so they are optimistic that Rexacia can become Barcelona's own Bosque, leading the team to end the turmoil and usher in a revival.

Today, there are two factions in Barcelona, ​​one is the traditional faction, the former chairman Nunes and others, and the other is the reformist faction, led by Cruyff, but the two factions almost do not tolerate each other and attack each other.

The traditionalists believe that Cruyff's reformists can only say, but they can't do it, saying that they are invincible, but they don't have the courage to take risks with their honors. However, the reformists believe that the traditionalists do not want to change the current power structure of Barcelona at all, and they are a bit of a clumsy, especially many decisions lack vision.

The struggle between the two sides has become increasingly fierce in the past two years, especially the increasingly powerful reformists, who regard Cruyff as a sacred, believing Barcelona should listen carefully to the advice of the thin man Cruyff.

In Spain, thinness is a symbol of wisdom, and thinness represents a saint.

The battle of words between the two sides has been very loud. Barcelona coach Ferrer had complained to the media before last season, believing that the club's technical consultant Rexac wanted to force him to step down, and Rexac has been interviewed more than once, expressing his ambitions for the club's head coach.

This season, Lexac has finally taken the position of Barcelona's head coach. The outside world regards this as Gaspart's inclination towards the reformists, and also regards this as a victory of the reformists. Lexac himself is ambitious and wants to make some achievements in the position of Barcelona's head coach so that he can leave his name in history.

But some things seem simple, but in fact they are far more troublesome than they imagined.

The kind that Rexach imagined when he first took over the team was that the gods blocked the gods and the Buddha blocked the Buddhas and did not appear. On the contrary, he encountered the same situation as Ferrer, and even his league starts worse than Ferrer, who had 2 wins and 1 loss in the first three rounds of La Liga, while he had 1 win and 2 draws.

The head coach of the wealthy family seems to be glorious, but the pressure is too great. Countless media and fans are staring at you. As long as you reveal even a little flaw, they will be enough to swallow you alive.

Chairman Gaspart personally supervised Amsterdam. He knew better than anyone else what this means for Rexach, because he used this point many times last season to put pressure on Ferrer. Now it's just a turn of feng shui, and he has also tasted the pain that Ferrer tasted last season.

Also because this is a game that must be won, Lexac made a gamble in this game, replacing the newly joined Argentine young player Saviola with Ovemas, who is more familiar with Cruivet. He obviously hopes that Ovemas, Rivaldo and Cruivet can form a more threatening trident.

In the midfield and backcourt, the goalkeepers are Bonano, and the defenses are Koko, Kristanval, Frank Debor and Puyol, Gabrie, Xavi and Koku form the midfield. Since Guardiola left the team, Xavi has started to take the lead.

Ye Qiu's arrangement of troops is also not vague. The goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defense is De Jong, Givot, Lucio and Macon, the three midfielders are Keita, Gilberto Silva and Sneider, and the front tridents are Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate.

Judging from the formation of troops, Ye Qiu did not have any conservative intentions, but instead arranged a formation that was both offensive and defensive.

But it is obvious that Ye Qiu is still afraid of Barcelona's strong attack power and organizational ability. Therefore, Ajax did not use the conventional fast-impact style to start, but instead seemed to start in a more patient and more secure manner.

Ajax's pursuit of stability naturally allowed Barcelona to gain the upper hand. Their start at Arena Stadium was very smooth, actively dominated the situation on the court from the beginning, and frequently used two sides to create threats.

The left side is the combination of Cocoga Ovemas, and the right side is more of the right back Pujol. This Barcelona youth training player performed very well after he firmly took up the main team this season. He has a tough and ruthless style, fast speed, and abundant physical fitness. He is a good player on the wing and has also been praised by many Barcelona fans.

Watching Barcelona players control the situation on the court, Gaspart, who was sitting next to Van Prag on the rostrum, smiled happily, and Rexach in the visiting team coach's seat often smiled like a chrysanthemum, looking very sure to win.

Especially when the game reached the 12th minute, Ajax finally revealed his flaws after a long attack. Barcelona used Gabrie's forward insertion on the right and cooperated with Puyol who was inserted behind him, and went to the bottom line. Gabrie made a cross from the right and hung the ball in front of the goal.

The Cruyvets were at the back point, and Rivaldo rushed into the front point and wanted to cross the ball. Fortunately, the central defender Kifu stood in advance and headed the ball to clear the ball, but immediately afterwards, Koku's long shot from outside the penalty area shocked the entire Arena Stadium and everyone couldn't help but lose their voices.

The ball almost rubs against the bottom line from the post. If it goes a little further to the left, the ball will undoubtedly make a move!

"This is the most threatening scoring opportunity Barcelona have ever obtained since the start of the game. Rivaldo and Cocu are only one step away from scoring the goal, which makes us unable to help but sweat for Ajax's defense!"

"Ye Qiu's starting tactics are a bit incomprehensible. On weekdays, Ajax always takes advantage of the start to seize the initiative, but now he is a bit steadily and allows the situation to be dominated by Barcelona. Although this is fearing Barcelona's attack, if they are allowed to continue to attack like this, it will be very unfavorable for Ajax!"

"Perhaps Ye Qiu should consider adjusting his tactics!"

…………

…………

“Adjust now?”

Ye Qiu, who was sitting in the coaching seat of the home team of Arena Stadium, looked at the anxious expressions of Roland and Rick Link, and couldn't help but smile. Bobby Hams, who was sitting next to Ye Qiu, looked calm. Even if the team lost a big score, he probably still had this expression.

"Too early!" Ye Qiuxia judged.

"It's still early? The door is almost broken!" Roland was a little nervous.

This is the European Champions League, boss!

Whether it is Ajax's first team players or this group of coaching teams, almost most of them are participating in the European Champions League for the first time, and the match between Ajax and Barcelona is facing global live broadcasts, which is enough to make everyone feel a sense of pressure.

Among the Ajax players, except Van der Sar, the rest of the players have appeared in the European Champions League for the first time. This is their first appearance on the highest football stage in the professional league. Ye Qiu had expected that many players were under pressure before the game.

If you continue to use the strategy of attacking after the start, Ye Qiu can be sure that with the Ajax player's mentality, there will be no effect. On the contrary, Ajax may have omissions and be caught by Barcelona, ​​who has excellent attack ability, which in turn causes goals to be conceded.

Ye Qiu cannot guarantee what consequences will the ball lose first under such an atmosphere and pressure!

Therefore, he would rather sacrifice his initiative in this game than ensure that the team's defense is solid and he will first gain a steady foothold, so that he can be qualified to talk about how to defeat his opponent.

From the players to the coaching staff, Ye Qiu could feel that many people became impatient, including Roland.

"Isn't the door broken yet? Let's talk about it when it breaks!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

He was also very nervous. He had played in the League Cup and won the championship, but that was the League Cup, which was a completely different event from the Championship Cup. Which European professional league player is not as proud as participating in the Championship Cup?

As the team's head coach, Ye Qiu must remain calm and rational, and at the same time, he also needs to give everyone confidence, so he cannot be anxious. Not only can he not be anxious, but he must also always show calmness and calmness.

Just imagine, who would believe that a guy who was so anxious that he jumped straight on the sidelines would make a calm and rational judgment?

"You..." Roland was so angry that he almost vomited blood when Ye Qiu said. It turned out that he was worried that he didn't care at all.

Bobby Hams, who was beside him, stood up and patted Roland on the shoulder, "Don't worry, wait a little longer!"

This waited for nearly 10 minutes.

It's really strange to say that Barcelona almost had the advantage in nearly 30 minutes ahead and launched several threatening attacks and shots, but they failed to break through Ajax's goal. Among all the shots and attacks, the closest time to the goal in the 12th minute.

Barcelona controlled the situation on the court and launched wave after wave of attacks, but the threat was getting smaller and smaller. One of the important reasons is that Ajax's players have gradually adapted to the atmosphere, rhythm and pressure on the court, and they began to play the game with a more calm mind.

After all, everyone has an innate ability to regulate and adapt to their emotions.

On the contrary, after a long period of time, Barcelona was a little impatient and began to try some more radical styles of play, among which the right defender Pujol played the most active, and Barcelona's right defender frequently pressed forward to participate in the offense.

Ye Qiu also realized this and walked out of the coach's seat and came to the sidelines. Everyone who knew him knew that he was going to personally participate in the team's adjustment and command.

Soon, Ye Qiu made an adjustment and signaled Ajax's midfield and frontcourt not to shrink so far and push back!

His gesture was to remind Ajax's players to counterattack and hit the left side and look for Robben.

…………

…………

Sometimes, the relationship between people is really strange.

In the locker room of Ajax, many people like to say that Ibrahimovic. When the Swedes first arrived in Amsterdam, they were so poor that they didn’t even have money to eat or to cheer on. They were forced to run to Ye Qiu’s house to eat for three months, but this kid just likes to be good at the head coach.

But this is just an appearance. At the critical moment, Ibrahimovic was the first to stand up and support Ye Qiu. But if you want to talk to Ibrahimovic about Ye Qiu now, he must still be a lot of complaints and complaints. Is it strange?

Robben seemed very ostentatious on the court, but in private, he was not at all.

For head coach Ye Qiu, he is neither as loyal as Abidal, Lucio, Sneider and Van der Fate, nor as complicated as Ibrahimovic. He is more of a very simple and simple trust.

If we want to trace the origin of this trust, it might be that when Robben was still in Groningen, Ye Qiu visited his house and took out the heavy technical evaluation report. It was the first time Robben felt Ye Qiu's understanding and trust in him. Later, when he arrived in Ajax, Ye Qiu obeyed his promise to entrust him with important tasks. Everything was natural.

Thank you, maybe a little bit, but not to the point of being grateful.

Trust is a kind of pile up through long-term accumulation.

After each game, Robben will receive a game analysis report from the coaching staff, which contains his highlights and mistakes in the game, even if it is not within Ye Qiu's responsibilities. Before each game, he will receive an analysis report from his opponent, which collects all the information about his opponent in the next game, as well as some details and situations that Robben needs to pay attention to during the game.

Every week, Ye Qiu would pick out time to have one-on-one private communication with the players, but he never cared about or interfered with the players' private lives. Even after Robben's weekly league ended, he secretly ran back to Groningen to secretly meet his girlfriend, Ye Qiu never interfered.

"As long as you can do what I want you to do on the court and meet my requirements, I can ignore everything else because I believe you can handle it yourself!"

This is the most common sentence Ye Qiu said in the locker room. Many people mentioned that when communicating with the head coach.

Other head coaches may just say that they like to interfere with everything about players. They like players like puppets, letting them control them, and even if possible, they want to get specific reports on how many times a week, when, and how long to do it.

Some people say that trust is based on mutual respect!

Robben believed this statement. He may not be as loyal as Sneijder and others, or he may not be as loyal as Ibrahimovic, who would take the initiative to stand up and support Ye Qiu at a critical moment, but he would definitely complete the tasks assigned by Ye Qiu meticulously.

This is his professional ethics and his trust in Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu almost never doubted Robben's strength, and entrusted all important tasks to Robben again and again. Robben never let him down and completed the tasks again and again.

He believed that this time was no exception!

So, when Ye Qiu said he wanted to counterattack from his side, Robben chose to believe without hesitation. Then, every time Puyol pressed, Robben always transferred to the gap between Puyol and Frank Debor, waiting for the pass from his teammates behind him.

This kind of waiting is aimless. You don’t know if your teammates can pass the ball, you don’t know when your teammates can pass the ball, and they may not even be able to pass it, because the head coach may have adjusted his tactical style and main attack direction soon. Then all the efforts and waiting he made before will be in vain.

But Robben still repeated the same moves again and again, and he tightened his nerves every time and was ready for sure because he didn't know when the ball would come, but he knew very well that he had to be prepared before the ball came.

It was trust that made Robben run and sprint again and again on the court. Although he returned in vain again and again, as long as he had another chance, he began to run and sprint again.

It is right to trust the head coach, trust your teammates to understand their intentions, trust your teammates to pass the ball...

This is not just Robben, but other players, and players in every position. For example, when Robben moves, he also follows the corresponding move. This is a tacit understanding and a kind of trust.

Sometimes, the players’ feeling on the court does not exist alone, but as a component in a high-speed operation machine. This is precisely this kind of trust that causes the machine to operate at high speed.

So, when De Jong poked the ball to Givot, and after the Romanian central defender got the ball, Rivaldo, who was flying and pressing, made a long pass with a big foot, Robben took off the string like an arrow, quickly penetrated Barcelona's entire defense line.

At the same time, Ibrahimovic in the middle and Van der Fate on the right also pressed forward as soon as possible, Keita and Sneid in the midfield rushed forward quickly, and Ajax's entire counterattack system launched the fastest and sharpest counterattack in the shortest time!
Chapter completed!
