Chapter 285 Midfield Master

Ronaldo's landing in the La Liga field stimulated the whole of Spain and even the world's fans.

But for the high cold, everything is as usual.

This is not only because he always believes that Ronaldo cannot change the situation in La Liga, but also because on September 1st, he led the team to Barcelona to visit the Camp Nou Stadium.

In the first round of La Liga, the master-apprentice showdown!

This is a showdown that all La Liga fans are looking forward to, and countless media have been hyped up, and even the players on both sides have a tense momentum.

But only two parties involved knew in their hearts that... they were really not very familiar with each other!

When Van Gaal took over Barcelona for the first time, he was a bit like the head of the team's competitive department, responsible for coordinating all matters, even youth training, and everything revolves around him.

In the first team alone, Van Gaal's entire coaching team has more than a dozen people, plus the club staff, and at least dozens of people in the entire training ground, so no one cares about a few interns who have not graduated from college.

Because this is so common.

Even, to some extent, interns are equivalent to free volunteers.

Even if Van Gaal later decided to keep Gao Han and signed a formal job contract with him, it was probably not because he admired Gao Han, but just thought that this young man was doing well and was very diligent, and the team was short of staff, that's all.

Moreover, the one who was about to sign a job contract with Gao Han at that time was also the lowest level and the salary was very low.

As for the so-called master and apprentice that media reporters hyped up, they are all about the so-called master and appreciation of people in flower sedan chairs and people are tacitly told about each other.

So, when Gao Han met Van Gaal at Camp Nou, when everyone in the venue, and even the live TV cameras were aimed at them on the sidelines, waiting for the two masters and apprentices to have a tear-jerking scene of a long separation, the two just shook hands politely, stood on the sidelines and said a few words, and went back each other.

This is their truest reaction to friendship. As for how media reporters and fans should use their imagination, it is their business and no one can control it.

"I thought you would kneel on the ground and call him Master like your apprentice in Chinese TV series."

Atletico Madrid coaching staff are also looking forward to the meeting between Gao Han and Van Gaal, full of gossip.

But the result disappointed them a little.

Gao Han shook his head and smiled at Cantalero, "You're thinking too much."

"But at least, you should also talk, talk about career, and talk about life." Sergio Garcia came over and handed a document to Gao Han.

"He is not a woman!" Gao Han laughed and scolded, "Besides, Van Gaal doesn't like nonsense."

This made the coaching staff nod at the same time.

This is true of the Dutch.

Gao Han opened the document and saw Barcelona's starting lineup.

After Van Gaal took over Barcelona again, he still adopted the three-guard style, but began to vigorously promote youth training.

The starting goalkeeper of this game is Valdes, who is from the Lamacia youth training camp. The defense line is Fernando Navado, Debor and Puyol, among which Navarro and Puyol are also the direct descendants of Lamacia youth training.

The midfielder took four-one stops, with Ovemas and Louis Enrique on the left and right sides standing higher, with Mendeta and Xavi occupying the middle, with Riquelme taking the center and playing the core of the midfield.

The two frontcourt strikers are Saviola and Cruivit.

This three, four, one and two formation was focused on Van Gaal's move after taking Barcelona. Although the starting lineup has been adjusted, there will not be much change in general.

"We are not as physically as our opponents in this game, so we have to be more at ease," said Gao Han.

Atletico Madrid just played the European Super Cup in Monaco two days ago. After returning, he rushed to Barcelona without stopping and ran back and forth, and his physical energy was consumed a lot, which really had a big impact.

So in this game, Gao Han also adjusted the starting lineup.

The goalkeeper is Cech, and the defense is Antonio Lopez, Marchena, Pablo Ibanes and Roberto.

The three midfielders are Sedo Keita, Xavi Alonso and Diego Simeone.

The frontcourt tridents are Cristiano Ronaldo, Kiko and Torres.

Many players, including Kaka, Carvalho and Deco, have played in three consecutive games in the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup. Buenaventura, who is in charge of physical fitness, recommends substitutes and rest in this game.

Visiting the Camp Nou is another first match in the new season, with many main players resting, so Atletico Madrid naturally dare not be careless.

In contrast, Barcelona only won fifth place in the league last season and was forced to play in the League Cup. They prepared for nearly two months throughout the summer, and were sure to be full of confidence when they were fully prepared for the first round of the league.

At this time, Gao Han's mind is not broken yet!

…………

…………

As the referee whistle sounded, the crowded Camp Nou was surging.

With the support of home team fans, Barcelona took the lead in launching an attack on Atletico Madrid.

This is also the characteristic of Van Gaal, who is a premiere and would rather die in offense than survive in defense.

On the other hand, the Bedding Legion neither retreated nor pressed forward, but instead made steady progress according to its own rhythm, and arranged in an orderly manner, and took on the attack from Barcelona.

The first threatening offensive in the game happened in the fourth minute. After Barcelona intercepted the ball, Ovemas from the left gave a wonderful pass, and Saviola received the ball first in a quick counterattack.

But the Argentine striker was too eager to score goals and rushed to kick, but ultimately failed to threaten.

Atletico Madrid is not in a hurry because the team is defending very steadily.

"Saviola..." Gao Han shook his head and sighed, "...What a pity!"

Emery, who was standing beside him, nodded and said, "Yes, the genius who was introduced to fight against Zidane a year ago was originally thought it would be Maradona, but it didn't seem like that."

La Liga made 36 appearances in its debut season and scored 17 goals. This report card is indeed pretty good. The thirty-six games with Cruyvit can also be regarded as the leading offensive combination of La Liga.

But the styles of these two players do not complement each other, they both have the same style of playing that tends to scorers.

Just like Saviola, who is short and fast, but has poor ability to take the ball and lacks one-on-one breakthrough ability, which makes him look like a speed shooter who is only 1.68 meters tall and has a very weak physical confrontation.

Like the ball just now, it has clearly created an opportunity, let alone Kaka, even if it was Villa and Torres, both of them dared to kill Marchena one-on-one, but Saviola chose to shoot early.

With the position and angle at that time, coupled with the position of goalkeeper Cech and the blocking of Marchena, the possibility of starting a kick and scoring is quite low.

It can only be said that the weakness of physical confrontation and his personal technical defects made him not confident in fighting Machener alone.

Of course, this is not a problem.

Every player has their own strengths and weaknesses, even the same is true for top players such as Ronaldo and Zidane.

The key is whether you deserve the coach to tailor the tactics for you.

This has become a matter of choice.

"You look at Rikelme again, there are also many problems."

Gao Han's words immediately made the coaching staff around him look at Riquelme on the court.

The Argentine midfielder is definitely that kind. You can tell at a glance that he is a genius type, but he has a very serious problem.

"I think he's too sticky and the pace is too slow." Emery tried to express his opinion.

"Well, there was one time just now. Cruivet and Saviola in the frontcourt had a good chance of sprinting. If it were Guardiola and Xavi Alonso, they would have passed the ball with one big foot, but Riquelme chose to control the ball and missed the opportunity."

Speaking of this, Cantalero smiled and said, "Van Gaal was so angry that he cursed on the sidelines."

"Argentine media have long disclosed that Riquelme has a unique style and a somewhat withdrawn personality on the court, so it is not very popular in Argentina. I heard that the reason why Barcelona didn't make up their minds last season was because of concerns." Sergio Garcia was talking about the gossip information he received.

But Gao Han shook his head, "These are all surfaces, and the core is that he is destined to be unsuitable for top teams."

Everyone was shocked.

He has just arrived and has only played for more than ten minutes in the official game. You just concluded that he is not suitable?

"There are two types of midfielders, one is Deco and Xavi Alonso. They position themselves as service providers and provide services to their teammates, and play football around how to help their teammates better play their strength. Although they will dispatch the team through passing to control the rhythm, they are still serving their teammates."

"There is another type of controller. They ask to control the overall situation. Everyone plays around his wishes, his ideas and ideas. He will not accommodate you, but will only ask you to accommodate him. Rikelme belongs to this kind of."

When everyone heard this, they felt that they understood something, but they seemed not to understand.

"For example, everyone knows that a qualified passer is to pass the ball to the best position at the best time, which is commonly known as the gap, right?"

Everyone nodded, and Emery remembered it with all their hearts.

"Deco and Xavi Alonso will consider teammates, what are their characteristics of playing football, whether they have left or right foot, which foot method they like to use the most to catch what kind of passes. If this ball is to play a gap and speed up, how fast the teammates are, and even how physical energy is consumed, then calculate how much advance amount should be given so that they can sprint and receive the ball comfortably."

"But if Rikelme is concerned, he will not care about you. He has his own set of ideas and ideas. Maybe it is very exquisite, or if it succeeds, it is very threatening and cannot even defend it. But he will not consider whether his teammates can receive the ball and whether they can perform the next move comfortably after receiving the ball."

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they suddenly realized.

Let’s look at the court. Even though the pre-season training camp has been so long, many Barcelona players still seem awkward when they catch Riquelme’s pass, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Sometimes, even though they had a chance after receiving the ball, they were still adjusting so that they missed the chance in vain.

They didn't know before, thinking that the players did not cooperate well enough, but now they heard Gao Han say this, it turned out to be Rikelme's problem.

"Modern football is increasingly regulating its nature and paying attention to teamwork. The former is more popular, while the latter is obviously not in line with the trend, and there will be no more strong teams willing to place the entire team on one player."

"That aside, Riquelme is definitely a midfielder, but tonight..."

Gao Han said this, a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.
