amazing coach

Alkmaar was caught in a two-front battle. In order to prepare for the Champions League, it was almost overthrown by Ajax. Ajax was still a wealthy club. Although it is now in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Alkmaar had a harder time playing.

It’s normal, but Barcelona is even more outrageous. They are still 4 points behind the first place Deportivo La Coruna. In order to prepare for the Champions League promotion, they were defeated by the underdog Oviedo 3:0, and the point gap with the top spot directly expanded to 7 points.

.

Valdo did not appear in this game. Barcelona said that he was hiding it in order to prepare for the Champions League. However, the media believed that this was the result of the intensification of the conflict between Rivaldo and Van Gaal. "Marca" broke the news that not only Livaldo

The conflict between Waldo and Van Gaal intensified, and the conflict between the Dutch gang and the local gang also came to the fore. Fans booed the Dutch players in the stands and shouted that Van Gaal would be fired. If there is another Champions League game, Van Gaal cannot come back.

If so, it is not impossible for Van Gaal, who has won two La Liga titles, to sack him.[]

But for Van Gaal, it is all worth it. Although he lost 1:4 in the away game, it seems that the hope of promotion is very slim, but Van Gaal has won the La Liga championship for two consecutive years, so what if he wins it again?

Barcelona fans are very picky and ambitious. Winning the La Liga championship will not satisfy them. They need the Champions League. If Van Gaal wants to have a breakthrough in Barcelona and reach the heights of Cruyff, he must also win the Champions League.

task.

Before the game, Van Gaal expressed his determination to fight to the death just like the fans, players and opponents Alkmaar, "There is not much hope. We have lost too many away games, but we will never give up. We will win three consecutive league games."

We need the Champions League more than the Champions League. Our goal this season is to win the Champions League. Even now, our goal has not changed. Camp Nou is the place for the decisive battle. We will strive for victory at all costs, and no matter what may stop Barcelona

Any obstacle to winning will be thrown into the Atlantic Ocean without mercy."

The chairman of Barcelona also expressed support for Van Gaal, "The league is of course also very important, but we have too few Champions League champions, only one, while Real Madrid has seven. We must pay attention to the Champions League and strive to narrow the gap between the two teams.

."

Barcelona is working hard, and the players have also expressed their determination to the fans and the media. Only Rivaldo expressed dissatisfaction with being substituted after the 1:4 loss to Alkmaar in the away game, and then did not make any remarks.

Even Rivaldo's agent Mingglia miraculously remained silent, leaving the media amazed.

Some senior football commentators believe that this may be a compromise between Rivaldo and Van Gaal. Everyone spends all their energy on the Champions League and waits to settle the score after this game is over.

The day before the game, Van Gaal announced Barcelona's starting lineup, and Rivaldo was on the list. This also shows that Barcelona has put aside its internal conflicts and is unanimous in dealing with the enemy. The purpose of Van Gaal's announcement of the starting lineup in advance is also to show the public

Alkmaar expressed confidence in victory.

Jiang Mu had already expected this. Rivaldo's importance to Barcelona is by no means just a player. Although Barcelona has many stars, Rivaldo is the best footballer in the world. Even his attacking power cannot be compared to Figo. This game

Barcelona urgently needed goals in the game, and they scored a lot of goals. There was no way Van Gaal would let him sit on the bench. Jiang Mu had already taken Rivaldo into consideration during training.

With Barcelona's current determination, even if it's not Rivaldo, its combat effectiveness is no small matter. Jiang Mu has made full preparations for this and did not take it lightly just because of the 4:1 victory in the first game.

It turns out that every time there was a big battle, Jiang Mu would let the players relax. This time when they came to Barcelona, ​​Jiang Mu did not let the players go out alone. Except for going out together for shopping and sightseeing, the players stayed in the hotel.

Some Dutch players advocate freedom and believe that after such a big victory in the first game, there is no need to be so strict. However, Jiang Mu showed his iron fist at this time. Those who accepted his orders stayed, and those who did not accepted his orders left directly. He did not

Not forced either.

The game has reached this point and the harvest is about to begin. Who wants to leave? The players obediently followed Jiang Mu's arrangements to train in a closed space, shielding themselves from all outside interference, and fully prepared for this life-or-death battle at Camp Nou.

The match between Barcelona and AZ Alkmaar officially started on April 18, along with the other two teams in the same half, Lazio and Valencia.

The European Dream Theater Camp Nou, which can accommodate 109,815 spectators, was packed with seats. Nearly 100,000 fans wearing red and blue jerseys turned the majestic stadium 250 meters long, 220 meters wide and 48 meters high into a boiling ocean.

In La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid are mortal enemies. They compete everywhere and in every aspect. Barcelona is not weaker than Real Madrid in every aspect, except for the Champions League. Although Barcelona fans disdain Real Madrid's first few "steals"

Champions, but they have to be ashamed of their Champions League numbers. In order to surpass Real Madrid, the Champions League is almost a key factor in assessing the success of a coach. Cruyff is called the dream team. In fact, the number of La Liga is also

There are four. If there is no Champions League, it is hard to say whether it can be called a dream team. Now Van Gaal not only wants to win the La Liga championship, but more importantly, it cannot be without the Champions League. After Van Gaal came to Barcelona to coach, he has been influenced by Cruyff.

With the criticism and interference of Cruyffists, it is certain that he wants to surpass Cruyff. This is why Van Gaal will fight hard in the Champions League even if he gives up the league.

Not only Van Gaal, but also Barcelona fans also regard the Champions League as more important than the league. Of course, the premise is that Real Madrid cannot be on top of Barcelona. Now Deportivo is ranked first and Real Madrid is behind Barcelona. Of course, Barcelona fans hope that the football team will win.

The team can play well in the Champions League and strive to reach the semi-finals.

"Barcelona must win! Barcelona must win!"

The game has not started yet, the players are still in the locker room, and the Barcelona fans in the stands continue to use thunderous applause, shouts and songs to push Camp Nou to the climax.

When the players from Barcelona and Alkmaar came on the field, the commentator shouted the names of the Barcelona players loudly, and Barcelona at the Nou Camp stadium followed with warm applause and shouts. There were nearly 100,000 people, which sounded like an overwhelming force.

, which shocked the Alkmaar players who were accustomed to Dehout's small stadium with 8,000 people.

Even Jiang Mu was shocked by this atmosphere and momentum, because it was indeed too majestic and impactful. Playing in such an atmosphere, it would be strange for Barcelona players not to go crazy. He began to faintly worry about his own

Will players be timid in such an environment?

However, the attentive Jiang Mu vaguely heard boos when he heard the commentator shouting the names of the Dutch players. It seemed that the Barcelona fans' dislike of the Dutch gang had not completely disappeared, but was just suppressed.

Due to the impact of the Bosman Act, restrictions on foreign aid in La Liga were lifted. After taking over Barcelona with a high profile, Van Gaal aggressively recruited Dutch players. During his coaching period, he introduced a total of 9 compatriots from his hometown. In 1998

1999 and 1999

In the two seasons of 2000, as many as 8 people gathered together, setting a historical record.

Most of these Dutch geniuses come from Ajax, and they are the same team that won the European Champions Cup in 1995 led by Louis van Gaal. They were once nicknamed Barcelona Jax by the Spanish media. However, Barcelona fans do not like the Dutch gang.

There is also a reason. The performance of the players bought by Van Gaal was mediocre. The $35 million Overmars was criticized as a "terrible and bad investment", and the high annual salary was also criticized as "sitting on the bench and counting money."

.Cenden, who is worth 12 million, can only sit on the bench. The tall right back Bogarde is a model of high salary and incompetence. He only played some insignificant games in Barcelona for three years, and spent most of his time with nothing.

Fei earns a lot of money and chews gum in the stands with a sick note. Only Kluivert, Reiziger and De Boer can be called value for money.

In this life-and-death battle, Van Gaal obviously believed more in his old team. The Dutch players in the starting lineup were Hesp, Reiziger, Frank de Boer, Cocu, Kluivert and Zenden.

Compared with the previous game, there are two more players, Hesp and Zenden.

Goalkeeper Hesp and two full-backs Bogarde and Reiziger were the first three Dutchmen to join. As Zubizarreta's successor, the Dutch national goalkeeper has performed quite well and has been in the lead in the competition with Baia.

However, Hesp also made several low-level mistakes this season and began to rotate with Baia. In the last game, Baia conceded four goals. This time, Van Gaal decided to use Hesp to guard the goal and put Baia aside.

On the bench.

Barcelona's formation in this game is still 433, but compared with the previous game, there have been some changes in the lineup. In addition to the goalkeeper being replaced by Hesp, the back line is still Reziger Frank Deboer Abelardo.

Sergi, the midfielder made some adjustments, Cocu and Guardiola remained unchanged, Rivaldo returned to the attacking midfielder position, among the three forwards, Zenden replaced Rivaldo's position, and Figo

Playing as a left or right winger, Kluivert is still the center forward.

The Spanish commentator believed that Barcelona's change was the result of a compromise, because Rivaldo wanted to play in the middle, but Kluivert could not be replaced, so he had to let Rivaldo play as an attacking midfielder, which although it was not in line with the standard.

Gal loves the character of a winger, but he can maximize Rivaldo's offensive power, and can also give a chance to Cenden, who is very fast and has a background in judo. In order to attack, Van Gaal has used all his offensive abilities.

Up.

Alkmaar's lineup for this game has changed a lot from the previous one. The formation has become a stable 442, with goalkeeper Cesar, left back Riise, center backs Lucio and Ismail, and right back Kronkamp.

, the three midfielders became Gattuso, Van Bommel's double midfielder, Ronaldinho and Kuyt played in the midfield, Klose and Tomasson, who have performed well in these games, partnered, Drogba

Sitting on the bench, Robben, who is known as Overmars's successor, is also on the 18-man roster.

After the two sides exchanged team flags and emblems, they each returned to their own half, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game. The noise and commotion in the stadium gradually subsided, and everyone waited calmly for the start of the battle.
