"Tony, what are the probability of us winning this game?" Just as the players of both sides walked out of the player channel and began to pose on the court under the leadership of their respective captains, Karin asked in the VIP box at Frankie Stadium.

"If the team can perform normally, it should be no problem to win the current Barcelona team." Zhuang Mingge thought for a while, answered, and said, "I don't know if you noticed Karin. Although Barcelona's record this season is still very good, the contradictions in their team have gradually emerged."

When he heard Zhuang Mingge analyze the problems in Barcelona, ​​Karin immediately looked very interested and began to be a qualified listener seriously. After all, whenever he talks about topics related to football, Zhuang Mingge is the most serious.

There is a saying that men are most attractive when they get serious, and Karin agrees deeply about this.

"The first is Rivaldo's problem. After becoming a double-star, the Brazilian's mentality has changed. He no longer fully obeys Van Gaal's tactical arrangements as a left winger as before, but requires greater offensive freedom, such as replacing Luis Enrique, who has increased injuries this season and has begun to decline, and his request is precisely what Van Gaal, who likes to control everything in his palms, cannot allow it."

Karin nodded in a clear way. She also heard a little about Van Gaal's coaching style. The Dutch coach's team management policy is comparable to Manchester United's Ferguson and former Sachy's previous ones. They are all iron-blooded coaches who do not allow a second voice to appear in the team. Van Gaal's approach generally only ends with two outcomes: to be nice, people will praise him for being stubborn, to be ugly, that is, to be stubborn and self-righteous!

Rivaldo's request is not too much. With his current ability, limiting this talented Brazilian to a narrow left is too difficult. If Van Galkendo put some time into communication with players, or find ways to take advantage of Rivaldo and Enrique's characteristics of large range of activities and wide attacks, and organically integrate them together, then he would not have had a complete quarrel with Rivaldo, making it like a life-and-death enemy.

"The other problem lies with Van Gaal himself. This Dutchman has a strong coaching ability, which is true. However, he really likes to introduce his direct descendants and his Dutch fellows when coaching at Ajax." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge paused and then continued to evaluate Van Gaal. "If Van Gaal's leading players can effectively improve the strength of the team, it's okay, then other players and Barcelona fans will not say much about it. But looking at the people Van Gaal has been buying over the years, only Cruivet, Koku and Frank Debol are worth the money. Hesp's ability is not much better than Baia. Substitutes such as Ronald Debol, Zenden, Bogard and Litmanin have won higher salaries than the main players but have not played much role at all. Can this not make people gossip?"

"Indeed, Coach Van Gaal did a bit too much at this point." Karin nodded and said in agreement, "Especially that Litmanin, although he is indeed a good player, he has never played in the four major leagues and can actually sign a contract with an annual salary of $5 million! This is simply crazy!"

Due to Van Gaal's excessive bias towards his direct line, Barcelona has now shown signs of civil unrest. Barcelona fans are dissatisfied with Van Gaal's use of the Dutch Gang and ignore the local players produced by the Lamacia youth training camp; and in the team, Rivaldo and Figo are also dissatisfied with Van Gaal's bias towards his old subordinates in Ajax - you should know that as the absolute main players of Barcelona who won two consecutive league championships, they are still only receiving an annual salary of three million US dollars!

A new player's salary is higher than that of the main player. If there is no chaos within Barcelona, ​​that would be a hell.

"I really don't know what the senior executives in Barcelona are thinking. After giving Litmanin such a high salary, he even asked him to play as a substitute..." Karin sighed, she felt a little powerless by Barcelona's strange behavior."

Just when Karin was puzzled by the Barcelona executives' thoughts, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. The second round of the Champions League between Fiorentina and Barcelona is now officially beginning!

The process of the game was almost the same as Zhuang Mingge expected. Although Barcelona, ​​who had the power to kick off, launched a fierce attack on the goal of Fiorentina under the control of Guardiola, under the control of Marklele and Gattuso, the attack of the Catalan Legion seemed to have little effect.

Rivaldo, who was forcibly restricted by Van Gaal, got angry. He was in a state of solo fighting alone and Figo who moved to the middle lane temporarily; Centen on the right was just a pure winger, and his style of crossing from the bottom was a bit out of place with Barcelona's pass control system, because although Cruyvert is an excellent center, his advantage lies in his outstanding momentary explosive power and awareness of ball and cooperation. Taking a shot in front of the goal is his weakness; Figo, who moved to the middle lane temporarily, is obviously not very suitable for this role. The Portuguese's dribbling and grasp of rhythm are unparalleled, and long-range shots are also a major offensive weapon for him, but he is not a qualified midfield commander, and it is difficult to connect Rivaldo and Centen on the frontcourt teammates.

Therefore, although Barcelona are playing against Fiorentina from the scene and the away team's game situation is quite advantageous, a little rational fan can see that Rivaldo, Centen and Figo are almost all fighting on their own with their outstanding personal abilities, and there is almost no connection between them during the attack!

This situation is exactly what Filorentine players are most happy to see. Although Figo and Rivaldo have strong personal abilities, no defensive player can guarantee that they can stare at the opponent in one-on-one situation, but the current situation is that Rivaldo (or Figo) brings the ball alone to attack their entire defense line, and other players without the ball are next to them as onlookers instead of going to help, so the situation is completely different.

You know, even the aliens who are recognized as the strongest individual ability dare not say that they can pick out a whole Italian reinforced concrete defense line under normal conditions, and they also bring together enhanced versions of top defenders such as Nesta and Stam, let alone Rivaldo and Figo?
Chapter completed!
