Chapter 108 Based on Our Desire for Victory

The atmosphere in Barcelona's dressing room at half-time was a little dull.

Barcelona was completely stunned by Lazio in the first half.

The main players, the main initiators of the offense, basically didn't perform well.

But looking at their jerseys that have been smeared out of their original colors, Rijkaard has not yet been able to criticize them.

Because they really played very hard.

In the first half of the game, not only those players played hard, but the entire Barcelona team worked hard.

Facing Lazio's muscle jungle and "killing tactics"-Rijkaard believes that Lazio's fouls and physical collisions are "killing tactics", the purpose is to effectively kill their own players-Barcelona don't want to have a good performance.

So what about the second half?

Rijkaard thought about it and felt that he should also pay attention to this kind of hardness. He had to rely on strong means to regain the initiative.

He would have started the controlling combination of Xavi, Deco and Iniesta in midfield.

But now it seems that these three ball-handling masters can't control the football at all. Under the impact of Lazio players, they were rushed to pieces.

The idea of ​​trying to win the initiative by possession of the ball now seems to be a failure.

He had to replace Chang Sheng with a better defensive player, at least he had to be able to steal the ball and protect the offensive player.

It is a pity that Van Bommel has left Barcelona for Bayern Munich.

So there are not many defensive midfielders he can use now.

Rijkaard seems to think he can start pursuing something different. Everyone said that his football is a copy of the winning mad dog, which makes Rijkaard very unhappy. So he intends to let Barcelona use more possession of the ball to play in the new season. Unlike Chang Sheng, who always have to arrange one or two defensive midfielders in the midfield. This will reduce the enjoyment of the team's game.

In Rijkaard's plan, his Barcelona were more nuanced, artistic and beautiful than the victorious teams.

For this reason, he intends to add skilled offensive players in the midfield, rather than defensive midfielders like Van Bommel.

So in the new season he straightened Harvey and Iniesta,

And Van Bommel was driven to Bayern Munich by him.

In fact, there is only one midfielder he can really defend now, Edmilson, and Edmilson is still a midfielder who was born as a central defender...

He never thought that he would need a defensive midfielder so much in the game, let alone that he would need to use a defensive midfielder so soon.

So now he can only put Edmilson back on the field, hoping that he can restore some of the team's decline in the midfield.

He replaced Iniesta.

Poor Xiaobai, he played a lackluster first half and was substituted. It seemed that he was the one responsible for the team conceding two goals in the first half...

Although he played poorly in the first half of Lazio's muscle jungle...

※※※

In the Lazio dressing room, Chang Sheng raised a finger at his players. "I just want to say one thing, guys. We led them by two goals in the first half. From the score to the scene, we completely suppressed each other. So, what reason do we have to lose this game?"

※※※

The second half of the game began, and Barcelona made substitutions just after the start.

Iniesta off, Edmilson on.

When Chang Sheng saw such a substitution, he laughed.

He knew that Rijkaard wanted to strengthen the defense of the midfield, and his thinking was correct.

But the problem is that Barcelona have no suitable candidates.

To strengthen the defense of the midfield, Edmilson obviously cannot.

In the Champions League final last season, Barcelona's starting midfield configuration and Deco, Van Bommel and Edmilson's.

Among them, Van Bommel is the main force of defense.

Now that the main force has gone to Bayern Munich, what else does Chang Sheng have to worry about?

Edmilson has outstanding skills, but his body is too poor.

Everyone is Brazilian, and his body is completely different from that of Melo on Lazio's side.

And the most important thing is that Edmilson has a glass body, and frequent injuries make him very resistant to physical confrontation.

So what to do next is simple.

Just let the players continue to physically confront Edmilson.

※※※

After the start of the second half, Edmilson fell to the ground three times in ten minutes, all thanks to Lazio's players.

When they fought with Edmilson, it was as if they were going to break Edmilson's legs...

Edmilson was quickly persuaded by Lazio's rogue style of play.

So Rijkaard's arrangement quickly fell through.

His team still hasn't regained the initiative.

So now the only thing he can count on is the idea that Lazio will slack after leading by two goals.

This is normal. After all, Lazio has mostly young players. Young people are full of energy, but they are also easy to be satisfied and lack experience. This will make them feel that a two-goal lead is enough.

But ten minutes later, Rijkaard felt hopeless.

Because this Lazio team has no intention of relaxing at all.

Chang Sheng's intermission words echoed in their minds repeatedly.

"We are both leading by two goals. From the score to the overall lead on the scene, why do we still lose this game?"

Two goals are not enough, we have to keep scoring goals!

We want to beat Barcelona!

Those who won support for Barcelona have no excuses to look for!

Therefore, in the second half, Lazio was still running with full fighting spirit, looking for opportunities to score goals.

Like the score was a tie...no, like they were the one behind.

The team's fighting spirit and desire to win simply shocked the audience!

A team with a two-goal lead and such a full-court gallop, they didn't see much before.

Lazio has already dominated the scene, they did not slack off, but wanted to kill them all!

※※※

In the 70th minute, Lazio's efforts paid off.

When Lazio launched the attack, Benzema passed the ball in front of the goal. Valdez made a mistake in hitting the ball, and the football was not hit far, but fell into the area where Khedira was.

So the young German midfielder pushed the football back into the penalty area with his head, and Falcao, who was ambushing in front of the goal, jumped up and pushed the football into the empty space.

Because Valdés made a mistake in attack, he hadn't had time to return to his position yet. Such a ball is too easy for Falcao...

"Seventy minutes! Three goals lead! The suspense of this game has been completely ended!"

"Romedal Falcao! He scored his first official goal after joining Lazio!"

"This is really surprising! Who would have thought before the game that Barcelona would lose so helplessly? It seems that it is often Barcelona's nemesis!"

"This makes us realize again why Chang's Valencia can suppress Barcelona... Against Chang's team, Barcelona always seems to have no options... Now think about the revenge of the Catalan media before the game. . . . it's ridiculous!"

Facing the celebrating Lazio players, the Catalan commentator was completely silent, and the Catalan media in the media seats were also silent.

This is so embarrassing...

But no longer blame them for being so high-profile before the game.

Because at that time, who would have known that such a young Lazio team could perform at such a level under Chang Sheng's hands?

※※※

When Lazio led by three goals, Barcelona seemed to wake up suddenly like a dream. In the ensuing game they launched a fierce offensive against Lazio.

The Barcelona fans in the stands came alive to cheer for Barcelona.

There are still 20 minutes left in the game. They hope their team can cheer up, at least not to lose too badly, and they must be able to score a face-saving goal...

Barcelona's players now have the same idea. To win the game and win the UEFA Super Cup, they don't want to now, it is too difficult.

But it would be too shameful if Lazio just shaved his head bald. After all, he is also the new European champion...

However, the Barcelona players obviously underestimated the Lazio players' pursuit of victory.

After taking a three-goal lead, Lazio still had no intention of stopping. Barcelona pressed forward to attack, so they shrunk their defense. While shrinking their defense, they also stared at the space behind Barcelona's defense...

Yes, until now, Lazio is still playing defensive counterattacks, and they still want to score goals!

※※※

The Barcelona players didn't think so much. On the one hand, they had no choice but to attack. On the other hand, I feel that Lazio will always give them an opportunity to take advantage of the three-goal lead and after they have already won.

But they were disappointed.

In the 82nd minute, Lazio took advantage of a quick counterattack and scored another goal!

Before that, Barcelona did not score as they wished.

4:0!

From a complete victory to a big victory!

Lazio beat Barcelona!

※※※

"It's really horrible..." Some commentators simply lowered their heads and covered their eyes with their hands.

The champion of the new UEFA Champions League, Barcelona, ​​known as the second dream team, was beaten into a sieve by the ever-victorious youth army, with bullet holes all over its body.

Rijkaard stood on the sidelines, sporting his trademark pigtails.

When he played for Milan, he had such a hairstyle. Some people might confuse him with Gullit. Gullit's braid is longer, while Rijkaard's is shorter.

When he was in Milan, Rijkaard was the best midfielder in Europe, and he was almost omnipotent.

After becoming manager, he led Barcelona to a second Champions League title, which put his popularity in full swing.

But now, he was defeated by Chang Sheng, who was younger than him.

At this time, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.

That was after he led the team to win the Champions League, Valencia's "Provincial Daily" sarcastically said that why they won the Champions League was only because there was no winning team participating this season.

At that time, this provocation made the Catalan media very unhappy, and it also made Barcelona very unhappy.

Because remarks like the "Provincial Daily" are tantamount to discrediting the team's efforts and insulting the champion.

But after this Super Bowl, I'm afraid Valencia has even more reason to say this...

Is it true that if there are constant victories, will your team not be able to win the Champions League?
