From coaching Real Madrid

Rijkaard is anxious!

The first half ended with a 0-1 deficit, and Real Madrid, which was far away at the Pizjuan Stadium, was leading by two goals, which made him lose his composure.

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 made adjustments and signaled Iniesta to follow him back to the locker room.

This is the signal to make a midfield substitution.

"Wait, Frank." Tenkat couldn't help but tried to dissuade him.

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

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

"Yes, but you know what signal will be sent to the players when substituting at this time." Tenkat was also anxious.

He felt that Rijkaard was really in chaos.

In fact, if you ask yourself, no matter who it is, it will be chaos at this moment.

From leading by ten points to being tied by their opponents, Barcelona has always been the league leader. There is pressure, but it is not a mess.

But things are different now. In the last round, the league champion is certain to be defeated by his opponent, and anyone else will fight tooth and nail.

But Barcelona is completely different from other teams.

Barcelona emphasizes passing and controlling the ball, and what is most needed is patience, organization, calmness and rationality.

Rijkaard made the substitution at this time to strengthen the team's offense, which is correct in itself, because Barcelona must score two goals in the second half, and it is indeed necessary to make the substitution, but Rijkaard has become anxious, and this is not okay.

The players can feel the mentality of the head coach.

The goal was conceded in the first half. A very important reason was that after the home team fans shouted that Real Madrid was leading by two goals, the players on the field became a little anxious and made more mistakes in passing and receiving. Athletic Bilbao seized the opportunity to sneak a goal.

The players were already a little anxious, but Rijkaard added fuel to the 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 Tenkat, "I know I must score two goals in the second half, otherwise, the La Liga championship will belong to that damn Chinese!"

"I know you're right. He didn't give up on this game. It was me who 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 with this?"

"I know better that you have looked down on me from the beginning. You became my assistant coach just because you wanted 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.

He felt that Tenkat was watching a show and watching his jokes to prove that he was right.

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

And his words not only shocked Tenkat, but also everyone around him.

When had they ever seen Rijkaard lose control of his temper?

But after venting his anger, Rijkaard calmed down.

Tenkat looked at Rijkaard deeply, without denying or explaining.

He knew that Rijkaard had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but burst out at such a critical and sensitive time when they were about to break up.

He knew better that Rijkaard was actually more guilty, ashamed, and unable to accept his mistakes before the game.

At that time, Tencart believed that Barcelona should try their best to win this game. Rijkaard's formation was not enough to secure a victory over Athletic Bilbao, but Rijkaard felt that it was enough.

He needs to reserve 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 that he was wrong, so he hurriedly made amends to make up for his mistakes.

But what Tenkat wants him to know is that Barcelona cannot rush!

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

Tenkat stood blankly at the entrance of the players' tunnel, 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 could tolerate his bad temper, accept him blasting the club management in the media, and allow him to yell at any player in the locker room because he was capable enough.

Excellent, Rijkaard must rely on him.

But now it seems that it is not.

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

But I don’t know when Tenkat crossed the line.

Maybe it was when he accepted the invitation from Ajax, or when he was showing off his temper in the past few days, or maybe earlier...

Anyway, Tenkat crossed the line, and Rijkaard didn't want to endure it anymore.

…………

…………

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

Iniesta replaces Thiago Motta.

Van Bommel returned to the deep midfield, while Deco and Iniesta were responsible for organization and passing in front.

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

But with a goal in hand, Athletic Bilbao obviously played more conservatively, focusing on defensive counterattacks. The players were very active in the game and made great moves.

This would have been difficult enough in normal times.

Now, everyone in the Basque Lions knows that Barcelona is impatient to score goals and reverse, so they are even less anxious. Instead of being impatient, they 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 referee's law enforcement standards, so some of their small actions are done according to the law enforcement standards.

Barcelona is anxious, but they are not.

And everyone knows that when Barcelona is in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes in passing and controlling the ball, and even the players' tempers become loud.

This resulted in the game being slowly dragged into the kind of hand-to-hand combat that Athletic Bilbao was best at, while Barcelona's most accustomed rhythm of passing and controlling the ball had no room at all.

When the game reached the 60th minute, Rijkaard saw that the situation on the field had not changed. He made the second substitution, replacing Van Bommel with Larsson, and the team changed to 442.

Eto'o and Larsson formed a double forward, Ronaldinho and Giuly were on the wings, and Deco and Iniesta partnered in the midfield.

This is enough to show attitude.

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

No matter what, we must win here!

The Barcelona players on the court were also inspired and began to organize waves of attacks, occupying an overwhelming advantage on the field. However, they frequently made mistakes in offensive organization and were never able to cope with Athletic Bilbao's attack.

The goal poses a substantial threat.

When the game reached the 80th minute, Athletic Bilbao formed a steal in the midfield and quickly launched a counterattack. The right fullback La Cruz quickly moved forward, went straight to the right side of the penalty area, and made a pass.

Sent the ball into the penalty area.

Llorente grabbed the spot, beat Puyol and Marcos, and headed the goal from close range.

However, the ball was saved by Valdes and failed to score.

Just when everyone thought Barcelona's crisis was over, Echeberria, who came on as a substitute, volleyed with his left foot and once again broke through Barcelona's goal and scored another victory for Athletic Bilbao.

Two to zero!

If the first goal conceded still left hope, then Echeberria's goal completely killed Barcelona.

Rijkaard was on the sidelines, covering his face in pain, watching in disbelief what was happening on the court.

He never thought that his team would be forced into such an embarrassing situation, and would even hand over the league championship to their arch-rival Real Madrid after leading for most of the season.

He clearly knows what this defeat will bring to himself and the team.

…

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

Sometimes, football matches are like this.

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

It's like when the national football team drew with Brazil. At the beginning, Brazil, which was stronger than Brazil, didn't try its best. They thought they were sure of victory, but they never expected to score. Later, Brazil started to exert its strength, but it was already 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 for Barcelona today.

Rijkaard repeatedly had problems from his preparation before the game to his on-the-spot command during the game. As a result, Barcelona was never able to find its own rhythm of the game. It was dominant and failed to score, and was eventually joined by Athletic Bilbao.

Two goals.

Two goals behind, Barcelona's morale was devastated.

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

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

A very typical scene appeared at the 85th minute.

Barcelona took advantage of Athletic Bilbao's mistake and created a mistake. Belletti and Eto'o faced goalkeeper La Fuente at the same time. This was a foolproof one-on-one situation.

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

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

Rijkaard was 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, watching the team lose 0-2 at the San Mames Stadium, handing over the La Liga championship that they had already grasped to Real Madrid.

He knew that he lost!

From the moment he came up with this starting lineup due to profound interference and influence before the game, he had already lost!
