One Hundred and Twenty Seventh Out of Control

Rijkaard in a hurry!

The first half ended with a score of zero to one, and Real Madrid, far away at the Pisjuan Stadium, led by two goals, which made him lose his temper.

He felt that he had to make some changes to reverse the situation on the field.

After sending the players back to the locker room, he immediately adjusted and signaled Iniesta to follow him back to the locker room.

This is a signal for a midfield substitution.

"Wait, Frank." Ten Carter couldn't help dissuading him.

"I know that the situation is very critical now, but anyone can be anxious, but you can't, you are the head coach of the team, you can't mess up."

Rijkaard stopped, turned his head to stare at his assistant coach, tried to control his breathing rhythm, and said word by word: "I'm not messed up, we need to strengthen our offense."

"Yes, but you know what signal will be conveyed to the players when the substitution is made at this time." Ten Carter was also anxious.

He felt that Rijkaard was really messed up.

In fact, if you ask yourself, whoever you change will be in chaos at this moment.

From leading by 10 points to being tied by the opponent, Barcelona has always been the leader of the league. There is pressure, but it will not be messed up.

But it's different now. In the last round, the sure league champion will be defeated by the opponent, and anyone who changes it will work hard.

But Barcelona is completely different from other teams.

Barcelona emphasizes passing and controlling the ball. What is needed most is patience, order, calmness and reason.

Rijkaard's substitution at this time is to strengthen the team's offense. This in itself is correct, because Barcelona must score two goals in the second half, and they should indeed be replaced, but Rijkaard has already begun to panic, which is not possible.

The players can feel the mentality of the head coach.

One of the important reasons for conceding goals in the first half is that after the home team fans called out Real Madrid's two-goal lead, the players on the field became a little anxious, and there were more mistakes in passing and receiving. Athletic Bilbao seized the opportunity to sneak attack and score.

The players were already a little anxious, and Rijkaard added another fire, making the situation even more dangerous.

But Rijkaard also has his own considerations.

"I know, of course I know." Black Swan was annoyed, and shouted at Ten Cate, "I know I must score two goals in the second half, otherwise, the La Liga championship belongs to that damn Chinese!"

"I know, you're right, he didn't give up the game, I underestimated our opponent and caused such a mistake, so now I have to do my best to make up for it, is there a problem?"

"I know better that you have looked down on me from the very beginning. When you serve as an assistant coach to me, you just want to use the influence of Barcelona to improve yourself. You even thought about replacing me, so You have embarrassed me in the media many times and caused me trouble."

Rijkaard's emotions were a little out of control.

It seemed to him that Ten Carter was watching a play, watching his jokes, in order to prove himself right.

Black Swan has always shown himself to be gentle and refined. If he wasn't really in a hurry, he wouldn't be so out of control.

And what he said not only stunned Ten Carter, but also stunned everyone around him.

When did they see Rijkaard lose his temper?

But after venting a pass, Rijkaard calmed down instead.

Ten Carter looked deeply at Rijkaard without denying or explaining.

He knew that Rijkaard had kept these words in his heart for a long time, and finally, when he was about to break up and was so critical and sensitive, he couldn't help but burst out.

He knew better that Rijkaard was actually more guilty, ashamed, and unable to accept his pre-match mistakes.

At that time, Ten Carter believed that Barcelona should try their best to win the game. Rijkaard's formation was not enough to win Athletic Bilbao, but Rijkaard felt that it was enough.

He needs to set aside more energy and resources to deal with the Champions League final three days later.

Now, the game proved that Rijkaard was wrong!

He also knew he was wrong,

So he was in a hurry to make amends, trying to make up for his mistakes.

But what Ten Carter wants him to know is that Barcelona can't rush!

"I am the head coach of the team, and I am the first person responsible for the team's victory and defeat, and you are just my assistant!" Rijkaard said in a deep voice, and walked straight into the player tunnel.

Ten Carter stood blankly at the entrance of the player channel, and he realized that he was also wrong.

He thought he could understand Rijkaard, but in fact he couldn't.

Over the years, he has always thought that Rijkaard can tolerate his bad temper, accept his bombardment of the club management in the media, and allow him to yell at any player in the locker room because he is capable enough Excellent, Rijkaard has to rely on him.

But now it seems that it is not.

Rijkaard is not a fool, he is not ignorant, but as a leader, he can swallow his anger for the sake of the overall situation.

But I don't know when Ten Carter stepped over the line.

Maybe it was when he accepted the invitation from Ajax, or when he was playing tricks these days, or earlier...

Anyway, Ten Carter crossed the line, and Rijkaard didn't want to bear it anymore.

…………

…………

At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona made a substitution.

Iniesta replaced Thiago Motta.

Van Bommel returned to the deep midfield, Deco and Iniesta were in charge of organization and passing in front.

This is also one of Barcelona's regular midfield combinations.

But Athletic Bilbao, with one goal in hand, obviously wants to play more conservatively, focusing on defensive counterattacks. The players are very active in the game and have a lot of moves.

This would be difficult enough in normal times.

Now, the Basque Lions all know that Barcelona is impatient to score goals and want to reverse, so they are even less anxious. Not only are they not in a hurry, but they also use some tricks from time to time.

Fouls are commonplace, and what's even more disgusting is that they will use various methods to deliberately delay time.

It has to be said that Athletic Bilbao is a team with rich experience in stepping on the line. They know how to control the law enforcement standards of the referee, so some of their small actions are done on the basis of law enforcement standards.

Barcelona is in a hurry, they are not in a hurry.

And everyone knows that when Barcelona is in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes when passing and controlling the ball, and even the players have a big temper.

This led to the game being slowly dragged by Athletic Bilbao into the kind of hand-to-hand combat they are best at, while Barcelona's most accustomed rhythm of passing and controlling the ball has no room to play at all.

When the game progressed to the 60th minute, Rijkaard saw that the situation on the field had not changed. He made a second substitution, replacing Van Bommel with Larsson, and the team switched to four-four-two.

Eto'o and Larsson formed a double striker, Ronaldinho and Giuly separated the wings, and Deco and Iniesta partnered in midfield.

This is enough to show attitude.

Rijkaard is encouraging the players to go all out and smash their opponents.

No matter what, get a victory here!

The Barcelona players on the field were also encouraged, and began to organize waves of attacks, occupying an overwhelming advantage on the scene, but frequently made mistakes in offensive organization, and they still failed to match Athletic Bilbao's team. The goal poses a substantial threat.

When the game progressed to the 80th minute, after Athletic Bilbao formed a steal in the midfield, they quickly launched a counterattack. The right-sided full-back La Cruz quickly advanced, went straight to the right side of the penalty area, and kicked a pass. The ball was sent into the penalty area.

Llorente grabbed the spot and beat Puyol and Marcos with a header from close range.

But the ball was saved by Valdez and failed to form a goal.

Just when everyone thought that Barcelona's crisis was over, Echeberia, who came off the bench, volleyed with his left foot and once again broke through Barcelona's goal, making another victory for Athletic Bilbao.

Two to zero!

If there is still hope for the first goal conceded, then Echeberia's goal completely killed Barcelona.

Rijkaard was on the sidelines, covering his face in pain, watching what happened in the stadium in disbelief.

He never imagined that his team would be forced into such an embarrassing situation, and even give up the league championship, which had led for more than half a season, to the arch-rival Real Madrid.

He knew very well what this loss would bring to himself and the team.

...

Conceding two goals in a row was a great blow to Barcelona's morale.

Sometimes football is just like that.

After losing the opportunity, it is often very difficult to reverse the situation.

It’s like the match between the national football team and the Brazil team. At the beginning, Brazil didn’t try its best. They thought they could win the game, but they didn’t expect to be able to score. Later, Brazil started to exert its strength, but it was too late.

This is of course not the true level of Brazil and the national football team, but a draw is a draw.

The same is true of Barcelona today.

Rijkaard has repeated problems from the formation before the game to the on-the-spot command during the game. As a result, Barcelona has never been able to find their own rhythm of the game. two goals.

Two goals behind, Barcelona's morale plummeted.

Players also know that they must score three goals to win the championship.

But at that time, let alone three goals, it will be difficult to score even one goal.

A very typical picture appeared at the eighty-fifth minute.

Barcelona used Athletic Bilbao's mistake to create a mistake. Belletti and Eto'o faced goalkeeper Lafuente at the same time. This is a foolproof single-handed situation.

However, Eto'o's shot was saved by La Fuente, and Belletti failed to grab the opportunity to make up the shot in time.

Barcelona's morale has obviously been greatly affected, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Athletic Bilbao.

Rijkaard was also a little frustrated in the end, and didn't even use the third substitution.

In the end, the Dutch Black Swan could only watch helplessly. At the San Mamés Stadium, they watched the team lose 0-2 and hand over the La Liga championship, which was already in their hands, to Real Madrid.

He knew that he had lost!

Before the game, when he was deeply disturbed and influenced to form this starting lineup, he had already lost!
