    Chapter 715: Flaw

    This game is very difficult for Barcelona.

    Among the injured in the first round, only Oleg returned from injury, but Marquez was injured again. What's more terrible is that French winger Giuly also strained his back in the previous league. Rijkaard's  The troops are stretched thin.

    Rijkaard could only use Oleg to replace Marquez as the central defender. Although they are almost the same size, the Brazilian defender does not have the Mexican's excellent header ability, but compared with the shortage of midfielders and forwards, the latter  The issue of defense is still a minor matter.

    With Giuly absent, Barcelona did not have a reliable substitute in this position. Rijkaard had no choice but to push Iniesta to the front line, and then used the Brazilian Motta as a defensive midfielder in the midfield. Xavi and Albertini organized the attack.  The field is obviously a notch below the main midfielders Marquez, Xavi and Iniesta - Motta has been Barcelona's substitute for ten thousand years, although he has a good relationship with the current team's top star Ronaldinho.  , but this does not seem to be enough for him to get a main position. Although Albertini has always been one of the best midfielders in Europe, after all, he is already old and his condition has declined quickly.  As the main player in all the games, it can only mean one thing-Rijkaard has no one at hand.

    Barcelona is still paying off debts from the Gaspart era - not only did they not win any championships during those gloomy days, but they also owed huge debts. Barcelona could only tighten money, although they still formed a strong team.  The main lineup, but the thickness of the lineup is obviously not comparable to that of a club with strong financial resources like Newcastle.

    Newcastle also suffered personnel losses. Despite the appeal, Drogba was still absent from this important second round. At the same time, Ribery suffered a mild sprain in a team training before the start of the game. To be on the safe side, Murry  Neo put him on the bench.

    Mourinho sent out a strike partner of Shearer and Ibrahimovic.  Although he is older, Hiller's impact is still very strong, especially now that the game tasks have been significantly reduced, Hiller is more able to concentrate on playing several key games, such as today's game.

    In the absence of Ribery, Mourinho made relatively big changes in the midfield. He did not use Robert or Stewart to replace Ribery, but sent Makelele and Eyre in the midfield.  The combination of Xin, Janus and Nie Fei.  This also surprised Rijkaard.

    Mourinho is at odds with him. On the surface, Rijkaard is using Iniesta as a forward, but in fact he is strengthening the midfielder's ball control ability. After all, Newcastle's original midfielder only has strong defensive capabilities.  Two midfielders, but now, Barcelona has three to deal with in the midfield, and the three midfielders can also support the defense on the wing. This move is completely aimed at Barcelona's strong midfielder ball control.  Ability and wing attack ability come - of course what the situation is.  It also needs to be observed during the game.

    From the beginning of the game, the two sides were entangled in the midfield. Newcastle's midfielder was more than tough but lacked aura, and Barcelona's midfielder was more than skillful but lacked toughness, just from the perspective of the midfielder.  Both teams are considered natural rivals.

    Barcelona has the upper hand in technology, but is not as good as Newcastle in terms of physical confrontation. However, although Newcastle is at home, they do not dare to go too far - Collina gave Makelele a foul at the beginning.  Serious warning.  His tough stance also showed his attitude - I don't care what grudges you had in the last game. In this game, you can only play hard for me. If you want to do other tricks, don't blame me.  You're welcome!

    The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree or the earth. With Collina's reputation, no matter how famous the referee is.  He has such confidence.

    The game was under his control and started within normal limits.

    The situation inside the stadium is normal, but outside the stadium, it may not be normal.

    Newcastle fans brought out all the tricks of football hooligans. Although they did not attack their opponents physically, they continued to torture their opponents mentally, with insults, boos, and middle fingers Barcelona was under huge pressure from the beginning of the game.  pressure.

    Newcastle got the ball, huge cheers.  Barcelona gets the ball.  There were huge boos and curses, and the home fans showed completely different attitudes towards both sides in such a game.  The love and hate of England fans is clearly evident.

    If Ronaldinho can get the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu to applaud him through his outstanding performance, then no matter how well he performs at St. James' Park, he will not get any applause from the Newcastle fans, but only more violent abuse.  - Unless he's playing for Newcastle.

    Since you areOur enemies, the better you perform, the more we will scold you, and if you perform poorly, then we will also laugh at you - this is the character of Newcastle fans.

    Amid thunderous cheers, Newcastle gradually gained the upper hand in the midfield, but Barcelona's strength was indeed outstanding. Although they were short of major generals and even though they were at the enemy's home court, they did not reveal any fatal flaws.  .

    ??To stabilize the midfield and wait for opportunities to counterattack, this is Rijkaard's idea.

    Newcastle is indeed very strong, but their offensive ability is not particularly outstanding. If Barcelona comes out to fight them in the away game, they will definitely fall to their fast and fierce counterattack, so it is better to stabilize the midfield.  , using two forwards with excellent personal abilities in the frontcourt to solve the problem.

    Since this is Newcastle¡¯s home court, they will definitely strengthen their offense. Defensively, they will definitely not be as tight as in the last game.

    Although Newcastle only needs a zero-0 draw to advance to the next round, will the arrogant Mourinho be willing to accept such an advancement?

    Rijkaard still misjudged Mourinho.

    He thought he knew Mourinho well, but he was wrong.

    ????????????????????????????????????????Outside of his heart, Mourinho is a pure realist. He doesn't care about the process of promotion, he only cares about the result of promotion. For him, no matter it is a big victory or a brilliant promotion.  It was still an ugly draw with his opponent to advance, all he wanted was to advance, nothing else mattered.

    So Newcastle are happy to tangle with Barcelona in the midfield, because they know that as long as the zero-to-zero situation remains, Barcelona will be anxious, not them.

    Of course Mourinho will not just pin his hopes on a draw.  After all, both Ronaldinho and Eto'o have strong personal abilities. It would be terrible if there is any sudden inspiration. The reason why he is so confident is because he has seen the weakness of Barcelona's defense.  at.

    Barcelona¡¯s defense has never been very good, but in front of their strong ability to control the ball in the midfield and frontcourt, this flaw has been well concealed. However, under Mourinho¡¯s careful observation, this flaw was finally discovered.

    This flaw.  It is their main left back, the Dutchman Van Blomhorst, who is said to have participated in the most famous derbies in the world.

    As a full-back with strong assist ability, Van Blomhorst has excellent offensive ability, but he has fatal flaws.  That is, he turns slowly and does not return to defense in time. If it were not for his assists, he could often contain the opponent's right-sided players, coupled with the support of the midfielder.  Barcelona's defense line has long been beaten into a sieve.

    But now, Barcelona's midfielder and Newcastle's midfielder are entangled, and no one can help him anymore.

    Mourinho's instructions before the game were to hit Barcelona's left wing whenever possible, breaking through the surface and tearing apart Barcelona's defense. Especially in the absence of Marquez, the only one with the ability to fill in the defense is  One Puyol remains.  Even if he is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?

    Newcastle's right wing composed of Nie Fei and Maicon may have major deficiencies in defense, but offensively, it is a close to perfect combination, with technology, speed, strength, impact, imagination all of them  , and with Makelele Essien and others taking turns to fill in on the right, they can also better display their offensive abilities.

    So even though Nie Fei struggled with his opponents in the midfield after the game started.  But he had been paying attention to Van Blomhorst's movements.

    As long as this guy can't help but step forward and assist.  The opportunity is here!

    The opportunity will come soon.

    ?Said before.  Van Blomhorst himself is a full-back with excellent assist ability. He is not physically strong and his confrontation ability is not excellent, but he can become a regular player of the Dutch national team and become the main force in famous giants such as Arsenal and Barcelona.  The most important thing is his assist ability.

    Staying in the backcourt is not his style, nor is it what he is good at, nor is it the reason why the coach hired him - when the coach uses him to play, he uses his assists, not defense.

    After seeing the two sides struggling in the midfield, Van Blomkhorst quickly joined the team in the midfield confrontation.

    Harvey, who was being double-teamed by Janus and Essien, immediately gave the ball to Van Bronhorst, who was on the left side. Since he was already at a disadvantage in the midfield, he temporarily focused his attack.  Putting it on the wing is also a good idea.

    After receiving the ball, Van Blomkhorst began to quickly move in along the left wing. His offensive ability was quite good. Nie Fei moved from the midfield to defend.?, and was quickly thrown away by him with a quick forward thrust.

    After getting rid of Nie Fei, van Blomkhorst's eyes lit up - because all the previous entanglements were concentrated in the midfield, the wing became Newcastle's weakest point. Now there is only one Maicon left in front of him, and Ronaldinho  Also moved to the left to help him attack!

    The excited Van Blomhorst quickly dribbled the ball forward, leaving Nie Fei behind and the huge open space behind him.
