Chapter 57: Who is dead?

Ronaldinho's goal set off a celebration frenzy at Camp Nou, Barcelona fans suppressed their emotions that had almost half the game were released, and the poor Forest fans were suppressed without any noise at this moment.

The fat man John in the stands curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What's so great about it? It's just equalizing the score... It's really a waste of time!"

That being said, even if he and his partners shouted the slogans of the Forest, they could not hear them at all - Barcelona fans were too loud.

The men waved their arms, stamped their feet, and shouted the names of Ronaldinho and Barcelona, ​​as fanatical as a complete English fan.

"Barcelona! Barcelona! Barcelona - Sa!"

Donn turned his head to look at the fanatical Barcelona fans in the stands behind him. This scene is rare. Perhaps it can only be seen in the Spanish national derby and Barcelona derby. I really didn't expect Nottingham Forest to be such a heavyweight opponent.

This feels... not bad!

"After unremitting efforts, Barcelona finally equalized the score! Ronaldinho is worthy of being the king of Camp Nou! His performance is exciting! Perfect direct free kick, Van der Sar had no response!"

Amid the excited commentator and cheers from the fans on the scene, the first half came to the end.

During the break, the score was scored at 1:1 by Ronaldinho's straight free kick.

The corridor of the players during the break was very lively, with footsteps and conversations mixed together and buzzing. But once the door was closed, there was no sound. Camp Nou is worthy of being a five-star stadium, and the sound insulation performance alone is excellent.

This is completely incomparable to city courts.

Tang En laughed at the players who were a little listless because they were equalized. Of course, he was also very sorry that he was equalized by the opponent in the last moment.

But there was not much dissatisfaction, not to mention... he was the head coach and the leader of this group of people, and he could not show too much negative emotions in front of them.

So Tang En, who closed the door, scratched his head first, seemed to not care about the score, spread his hands and said to the players: "I haven't said that in this game we will win the opponent without letting Barcelona score a goal.

So the score is normal now, and the game is still on our track. You have to know what opponent we are facing - Barcelona. It is not a casual amateur team in the Spanish countryside."

"Ronaldinho is not a clown in a circus, he is a real world football player. Although he didn't perform well in the World Cup... he can't be ignored. Do you understand what I mean?"

The players in the locker room nodded and expressed their understanding.

"Our opponents are very strong, very strong. But look at their reaction after the goal in the last half? The reactions of the fans and players... as if they had won the game.

What does this mean? They just equalized the score, but were so excited... It means it's not easy for them to defeat us!"

"Don't be depressed, have we lost? Or are we falling behind? Be cheering me up! There are still 45 minutes left in the second half, and you really have to lose with this mental state!"

After encouraging morale, Tang En began to arrange the tactical strategies for the second half.

"Ronaldinho is a threat. But we can't focus all our defensive attention on him alone. George."

Wood stood up.

"This concealment is a lesson for you, don't give Barcelona a direct free kick in that dangerous area. In addition to Ronaldinho, they also have free kick experts like Xavi.

In addition, letting you take charge of defense and participate in the offense... is it a big burden for you?"

Wood shook his head: "No."

"Then why are you like a turtle? Always huddled behind? Send the ball forward when necessary!" Tang En's tone suddenly became stern, and he turned his head to look at the other midfielders, "And you, my midfielders. Find a way to send the ball forward.

Whether you are short passes to advance, long passes, or personal dribbling, send the ball out, don't always let Barcelona people circulate around our earth goal like a group of flies! Buzz, buzz, buzz, you don't bother, I don't mind!"

“I’ll tell you.

Tactics are dead, people are alive! The arrangement before the game cannot take into account all aspects and all situations. You must adjust yourself according to the actual situation on the field. If the opponent presses too much and there is a large space behind him, reduce the time to hold the ball in the middle and backcourt, pass it in time or pass it directly, and catch the opponent off guard!" He punched him in his palm.

"When we need to counterattack, people must go up as soon as possible. I don't want to see people walking on the field when we go from defense to offense. It's tiring to sprint back and forth. But our training is not for enjoying it in the game.

This is an important game, and you can pay everything to win!”

"Frank." Donn looked at Ribery again, "Don't limit your activity area to the wing. You have to lean towards the middle. When George and Mikel can't get up, you need to be responsible for organizing the offense. If you are on the wing, our passing route will easily be stuck by the opponent. They are living people, not NPCs for live football."

Ribery hesitated: "Let me go to the middle...What should I do if Mikel?"

"How many times did he rush up in the first half? Most of the time he was assisting in the defense.

"Donn glanced at Arteta, "You rarely appear in the middle in the game. I think we have to make some unexpected changes in this game, and maybe there will be miraculous results.

After appearing in the middle, whether to pass the ball, break through yourself, or shoot from a long time... it's all right for you. You can take further action based on the specific circumstances on the field. I don't need to teach you this kind of thing, right?"

Ribery shook her head: "No, boss, I know what to do."

Tang En nodded with satisfaction. The Ribery he remembered should not be limited to the wing, he should have greater energy, but it was not released. This game was an opportunity.

Rijkaard and his coaching staff would never have thought that Donn would let Ribery play the middle lane organizer in this game.

Previously, Ribery always gave people the impression of being a wing assaulter. Since the away game against Everton, Donn has intentionally asked Ribery to move to the middle in training. Be a more comprehensive and decisive midfielder.

From this game, Donn wants to push a brand new Frank Ribery into the world, and perhaps... he will also become an important asset in French football.

"Frank is our offensive core in the second half." Tang En told the whole team, "Leave the offense to him to organize, and everyone cooperates with him to run the position. Do you understand?"

"No problem, boss."

"Understood!"

"Frank, if you don't perform well, don't blame us for not passing you the ball!"

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Waiting for the laughter to disappear. Tang En continued to say, "You are usually on the sidelines." He said while drawing Berry's action route on the tactical board, "only when we get the ball and prepare to attack, run diagonally... so.

” He drew a diagonal line pointing to the penalty area.

"Then, Ashley Young. You can change positions at your left and right during the game, and don't always stay on the right side. Stir in Barcelona's defense and don't let them see our tactical intentions too early. Do you understand?"

Ashley Yang nodded as well.

After talking about the offense, Tang En talked about defense. In fact, although the defense task is heavy, it is simple. "There is nothing to say about defense. Compress the space and time within a range of 30 meters, and no offside or defensiveness are allowed.

No matter how they pass, keep the defensive formation. Pay special attention to the defensive space on both ribs. Except for George, we are defending the area."

After saying this, Tang En looked at the table and there was not much time left. He decided to make the last mobilization.

"Everyone understands their responsibilities. Everyone does their job well." He raised two fingers, which looked like a "v" that represents victory. "My request is that simple.

Our goal is not just about winning this game. You all know what the real goal is, right?"

Everyone replied loudly: "Champion Cup champion!"

"very good. "

When Donne mobilized the players passionately in the visiting team's locker room, the Barcelona locker room was a little calmer.

Rijkald is not the kind of person who likes to express his ideas in Chase words. After he arranged the tactical adjustments in the second half, he rarely spoke. It seems normal for the players in the locker room to do their own things.

Ronaldinho is chatting with Messi. Their relationship is very good in the team. Although one is a Brazilian and the other is an Argentinian, they are now all Barcelona players.

The two people have the same topic, and they are discussing one person - George Wood.

During the halftime break just now, Rijkaard hoped that Ronaldinho, Messi, and Etoo could pull George Wood away through frequent shifts, disrupting the Forests' defense, and creating more opportunities for others to score.

If George Wood wants to run with Ronaldinho, pass the ball to others. If he doesn't run with Ronaldinho, pass the ball to the Brazilian.

Although the opponent scored an away goal, he was a little unwilling.

But now is not the time to consider this place. Rijcard asked the whole team to continue to strengthen the offensive in the second half. If the opponent returns to England with a score of 1:1, the second leg of the game will be very dangerous for Barcelona.

Only by relying on offense to continuously score goals and using a huge goal difference advantage to offset the Forests' away goal goal can we gain the lead in the next round.

Barcelona's football never gives up on offense, not to mention that it is his own home court.

Messi was asking Ronaldinho how powerful that George Wood was.

Ronaldinho honestly expressed his feelings: "...Don't let him get close, everything is easy. You can try to get rid of him with speed, but to be honest... I'm not optimistic about the result of doing so.

He is very strong, and I squeezed through him, as if I was hitting a wall. The best way to deal with him is to...get the ball as soon as possible."

Messi thought for a while.

Perhaps seeing Messi's frown, Ronaldinho added: "It's difficult to play one-on-one with him, but we have a very skilled cooperation, so he can't do anything about it. After all, he only has one person."

When Messi nodded when he heard Ronaldinho say this.

"Actually, I think he will follow me in the second half, so he seems to recognize me. So, pay more attention to the running position in the second half, and I will pass the ball to you depending on the situation." Ronaldinho patted Messi on the head.

In the team, Ronaldinho has always regarded Messi as his younger brother to take care of him. Of course, he must first think of him if there are any benefits.

Rijkald, who had been sitting at the door silently, raised his hand to look at his watch. When time came, he stood up and clapped his hands to signal everyone to calm down and he had something to say.

"I rarely say anything at this time." Rijkaard said the truth. He doesn't like to say a lot, and he is a completely different style from Donn. "But I think it's necessary to say a few words today.

We were provoked by them. If we didn't react any more, we would laugh at us outside." Rijkald waved his hand and pointed out the door. "I'm very dissatisfied with the score of 1:1.

I hope that after forty-five minutes, the score I see is 3:1, 4:1, and we win!”

Perhaps it was a coincidence that when both sides returned to the field, Tony Donn and Rijkald met at the exit of the corridor.

At the beginning, both of them seemed to go out first compared to each other, but they took steps together to squeeze into the exit. But the next moment, they changed their minds at the same time, stopped each other, and signaled them to leave first with a gentlemanly manner.

"Please, Mr. Rijkald."

"It's okay, you go first, Mr. Tang En."

After feeling the other party's enthusiasm, the two of them took steps at the same time.

After glanced at each other, Tang En smiled. "I think this exit can completely allow us to pass side by side."
