Chapter 180: Instructions to Barcelona

Even Chen Chao didn't expect that the young player Tony Cruise's debut in the Champions League was so amazing. Cruise, who was entrusted with the responsibility of the film forward in the first half, successfully completed his task. Both goals were very exciting. The first goal showed Cruise's sense of offensive points, and the second set-piece scored directly but showed his excellent skills. The name of Germany's first genius is indeed well-deserved.

On Barcelona's side, Rijcard used Etoo to replace Barcelona's defensive midfielder Yaya Toure. Barcelona is now two goals behind. At this time, Rijcard no longer has the heart to take care of his team's fragile defense line. Only by attacking and scoring more goals can Barcelona be pulled back from the edge of the cliff.

As soon as Etoo came on the court, he immediately conveyed Rijcalde's latest instructions. Now he has become Barcelona's arrowhead, and Henry's position is behind him. At the same time, Henry also needs to go to both sides to support his team's offense. He has to cooperate with Ronaldinho on the left and Messi on the right when his team is attacking. As for Ronaldinho and Messi on the right, their tasks are not only about taking on the team's offense, but also about running to the penalty area without the ball to find a goal.

In other words, in Rijcard's new tactics, as long as Barcelona gets an opportunity to attack, they will have at least two people, Henry, Ronaldinho or Messi on the side of the attack, and Bayern's penalty area will also have "cheetahs" Etoo and Ronaldinho, one of Messi.

If Keita and Iniesta, who are included in the midfield, will also rush forward to assist. Just think about the troops that Barcelona has hoarded in the midfield and frontcourt, it will make people feel scared.

Obviously, this time the "Black Swan" is really going to be dead!

Seeing Barcelona's changes, Chen Chao was not only not worried, but also smiled relaxedly. Others were afraid of Barcelona's attack, but he was not afraid at all. At the pre-war preparation meeting in the morning, Chen Chao had already arranged a defensive strategy for Bayern. Although everyone's intensive defense in front of the penalty area may not necessarily curb Barcelona's attack, it can at least play a role in restraining it. At that time, Bayern made a few more counterattacks, and maybe it could expand the advantage of leading by two goals!

Thinking of his complacentness, Chen Chao sat there and crossed his legs with his legs relaxedly, and his feet were shaken from time to time, and his relaxed and confident attitude was fully revealed.

The progress of the game is also as Chen Chao predicted. Barcelona's offense mainly relies on the ground. Raising high balls is not very useful to them. Moreover, Bayern's air defense ability is still very strong. Barcelona's ground offensive routines are smooth and gorgeous and threatening, but this time they met Bayern. Chen Chao had arranged targeted tactics early in the morning. When a tall and powerful Bayern player gathered on the sideline of his own penalty area, Barcelona found that he seemed to face a moving wall when attacking. Not to mention threatening the opponent's goal, they were very laborious to pass the ball to Bayern's penalty area, unless they were taking a high ball on the side, but would that be useful?

In the Bayern locker room on the other side, Chen Chao kept reminding the players: "It should be like this when defending... Ferreira, you have to keep an eye on Etoo, that kid's speed cannot keep up, you can only do it... Milo, no matter what the situation is, you can't retreat, absolutely not, you must put yourself between offside and not offside, I don't want to see you in the backcourt..."

When Rijcard returned to the court from the locker room, he had almost no strength to command the game. It was the fifth year that he had coached Barcelona, ​​and his talent and passion had been exhausted. Last season, Capello and Real Madrid snatched away the Spanish League champion in the final stage of the league. This made Rijcard feel exhausted and even had the idea of ​​resigning. If it weren't for the Barcelona board of directors' retention, the "Black Swan" might be on vacation in his hometown in the Netherlands.

Now, Rijcard has officially faced Chen Chao who is not as good as usual, and was kicked 4:1 by "Devil Chen" and his Bayern at the home Camp Nou Stadium. The feeling of not being able to control the game at all seems to be stronger. Rijcard feels that irresistible fatigue again... both physically and mentally exhausted!

What made Rijkaard even more bitter was that the more he felt helpless, the more his opponent would be to take the lead.

Just three minutes into the second half, Bayern took the opportunity of counterattack to rush up again. Cruise, who scored twice, attacked from the middle and was blocked by Gerald Pique on the right. Klose, who was also in a state of bravery, scored twice, sent the ball to the other side with a pass. Bayern "left winger" Borowski, who had no shot in the whole game, rushed up and was more than one meter away from the ball. He also used his left foot to volley and sent the ball into Barcelona's goal...... 5:1!

While Bayern was celebrating, the Catalans in the stands could even be heard crying in the Camp Nou Stadium!

Everyone knows that even if Barcelona loses this game, it is not the end of the world. It is just the first round of the Champions League group stage, and it is against the strongest opponent in Group G. Barcelona has not lost hope of qualifying in the Champions League group stage.

But as soon as he saw the 1:5 number written on the super large electronic scoreboard in Camp Nou, the Catalans couldn't help but want to cry.

Fortunately, when Bayern took the lead 5:1, Chen Chao, who had already killed the suspense of the game, began to adjust his team. Schweinsteiger and Luca Tony replaced Cruise and Klose respectively. Bayern obviously intends to withdraw the troops.

As soon as Bayern relaxed, Barcelona players played more easily. They didn't think about reversing the game or tying the score. As long as they could score one or two goals, it would be fine to lose in this game. So at 81 minutes and 91 minutes, Ronaldinho and Etoo each scored one goal respectively, and finally retained a little face. Losing 3:5 is much more decent than losing 1:5!

After the game, Rijkaard smiled reluctantly when he shook hands with Chen Chao and said goodbye, but his hand was pressed twice in a row, which sent a signal of appreciation to Chen Chao. Chen Chao also smiled and shook his big hand twice to indicate that he knew.

After parting ways with Roman Abramovich, Chen Chao's mentality changed a bit, especially when he saw Bayern Munich's super influence in Germany, he finally understood one thing, that is, as a head coach, he must not be full of enemies in the football circle, so he allowed Rijcard and Barcelona to ensure victory 5:1. If he was in high spirits when he was at Chelsea, the "Devil Chen"'s crazy nature might have to play 7:1, 8:1, and he would kick Barcelona directly without confidence, and the "Black Swan" resigned.

At the press conference after the game, Chen Chao did not praise his team too much, but said that he was very satisfied with the team's performance. Then he praised Henry, Etoo, Messi, Iniesta, Pique and others, and said with a "sightedness": "Messi is a very outstanding player. Although he is still young, he definitely has the potential to become the world's number one star, but he needs more support and opportunities. I believe that if Barcelona can formulate tactics around Messi, this little guy will definitely bring fruitful rewards to the team! In addition, I personally also appreciate Xavi's style of playing football. He is a player who can really play football with his brain on the court. Such players are really rare in today's football world. If Messi has him and the faster Iniesta support him later, it would be terrible!"
