Capítulo 174: 55 The Proud Riquelme
55 The Proud Riquelme
In 2003, in late February, Barcelona, Spain.
Giving up the league and focusing on the Champions League, Barcelona has now dropped to the ninth position in La Liga. In this season in history, Barcelona failed to even enter the top four.
The results are not good, and Barcelona is also full of contradictions. Now they can only rely on the fig leaf of the Champions League to cover up their current ugliness.
Barcelona's current head coach Antić also knows that he will definitely not be able to stay in Barcelona in the summer, so now Antić is doing his best and obeying fate. As for the conflicts within the Barcelona team? It's not that Antiche doesn't want to take care of it, but how should he take care of it?
The Dutch help is the only thing Barcelona can rely on this season. Whether it is Cocu, Overmars, Kluivert or Frank De Boer, they are all exerting their potential as much as possible...
However, Barcelona's local players also need to be in the top position. Alas, sometimes managing a team is like commanding an army. In terms of Antić's talent, if the Barcelona executives can give him enough trust, he believes in him I can manage the interior of Barcelona well.
But what do Barcelona's top management trust Antić now? The team's performance in the league is not good, and it's okay to be thrown away by more than ten points by Real Madrid, but look, now Barcelona has dropped to the ninth position in the league!
In the past n seasons, Barcelona has not been so sad for a long, long time.
Antić is now only in charge of tactical arrangements, as for conflicts within the team? If the players want to make trouble, they can make trouble, and if they want to confront each other, they can oppose it. That is what the next Barcelona head coach should do.
On Barcelona's training ground, the players who had just lost to Valencia in the last round were a little disappointed. Now they have no idea about the Barcelona players in the league. Maybe only the Champions League can motivate them to fight?
"Roman, come here." There are still two weeks before the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern, and Antić is also starting to arrange the match against Bayern.
In Antiche's view, Riquelme, who once had a record of confrontation with Leonwell in the A-League, will be the key figure in the game against Bayern-now everyone can see that Leonwell's passing, Dribbling and defense have brought fresh changes to Bayern.
This fresh change also made Bayern's style very different from the past. They no longer relied on flying from both wings to hit headers, but began to lock the victory by controlling the game. And the diversity of Bayern's tactics is self-evident. The defensive counterattack they played against Manchester United is really like an Italian team.
In Antić's view, Barcelona has to prepare to deal with two Bayern teams, one Bayern is Bayern when they are playing against Manchester United, and the other is Bayern playing control football in the league.
Antić feels that Barcelona may not have the strength of Manchester United to make Bayern fearful, so what Antić is going to deal with is the second Bayern team - controlling the football and using the frontcourt players to continuously advance forward to end the game.
This is really a very fresh style of play. The success of this style of play depends on two points, the tacit cooperation between the players and a stable midfield core that is constantly running.
Do you cooperate tacitly? Bayern's lineup has been running in for a long time. Schweinsteiger was originally brought up by their own youth training. In fact, Bayern's starting lineup this season has not changed significantly from last season except for the addition of Leon.
Constantly running midfield core? A terrifying statistic of the new World Footballer of the Year, Leon Weir, was written by Italy's "Sky Sports" last week, that is, his average running per game reached a terrifying 11,000 kilometers! Such data, even for those players who claim to be immortal, it is difficult to achieve, right? But Lionwell did it.
The average number of passes per game has reached about 87 times, and the success rate has reached an astonishing 95%. Each game has sent at least three threatening ball passes... Such a core midfielder, Lionwell It is simply a machine that is running non-stop, opening up space for other Bayern players, and maximizing the potential of other Bayern players!
As for Lionwell's personal ability? He averaged about two dribbles per game. Although such statistics are dazzling in the Bundesliga, but in La Liga... such statistics are really mediocre.
In Antiche's view, the scariest thing about Lionwell, the new World Footballer of the Year, is not his free kicks, assists and world waves, but his non-stop running and passing!
"If he plays the attacking midfielder with peace of mind, he can score more goals and have more assists, but he doesn't, but this is also the scariest part of him... because his role is to fully drive the surrounding teammates Looks like Beckenbauer and Redondo back then..." Although the performance of leading the team is not good, Antiche is definitely not bad, and he can be the head coach of La Liga duo Real Madrid and Barcelona , who doesn't have a little real material?
Antić also feels a little regretful now, because Barcelona has been chasing Leonwell last summer, and even Cruyff said more than once that Barcelona's No. 10 is for Leonwell .
Looking at Riquelme who was walking towards him, Antić also shook his head. Riquelme is the kind of player who needs the team to tailor tactics for him. He can only play in the tactical environment that belongs to Riquelme out of their highest level.
However, is it possible for Barcelona to tailor tactics for a certain player? Not bad unless you're a top star, but is Riquelme? Obviously, Riquelme was not yet a top superstar during this period.
It is impossible for Barcelona to tailor tactics for Riquelme, so Barcelona and Riquelme seem out of place, which also makes Riquelme now labeled as a parallel importer.
However, Lionwell is the kind of person who doesn't need the team to tailor tactics for himself. In Antiche's view, Lionwell can be integrated into any tactic and maximize the potential of that tactic. This may be the scariest thing about Lionwell. He doesn't need to create tactics for him, but after a long time, you will find that the whole team will follow his rhythm.
If Leonwell really joined Barcelona last summer, maybe the current Barcelona is a different scene, right?
Harvey is still too young, oh, Leon is also very young, but the younger Leon has shown that Harvey is even stronger. Perhaps in a few years, Harvey will become one of the best midfielders in the world, but Antiche thinks that maybe at that time, Leonwell won't know how many times he won the World Footballer.
No wonder Franz Beckenbauer likes him so much... A player who can integrate into any team and elevate the entire team to a higher level, his personal ability is not his strongest point, but his role in improving a team is the strongest.
River Plate, Argentina and now Bayern.
Just when Antiche was thinking about something, Riquelme had already walked up to him, "Head coach, what can I do for you?"
Antić glanced at Riquelme: "Roman, you also know that I have already started preparing for the Champions League knockout match against Bayern. You had a record against Leonwell when you were in Argentina, and you are also one of us. In this team, there are not many players who know him well, I want to know, how do you think we should limit Lionwell?"
Lionwell! Lionwell again! Just mentioning the name Riquelme makes me angry!
Who is Ah Jia's genius on the first day? It's Riquelme! Who is the first player Barcelona pays attention to? It's Riquelme too! However, Lionwell seemed to be born out of nowhere. He stole the attention of the fans and the media... Even Barcelona, which had been chasing him, went after Lionwell in turn. .
Riquelme has always felt that he has the strength to enter the Argentine national team in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. He believes that it was Leonwell who took away his position in the national team. Even the World Cup champion, Riquelme He thinks he is the one who should lift the World Cup trophy!
Why, why Lionwell again! Why does everyone pay so much attention to him, but leave me aside?
Now, it's Leonwell again, the core of Bayern Munich, Riquelme who wears Barcelona's No. He builds tactics as the core...Riquelme's style is too slow, Barcelona's offensive rhythm is fast, Riquelme often can't keep up, his passing and dribbling in A-League are useless here... …
What about Leon? This guy actually went to Germany at a sky-high price of 40 million pounds. At the beginning, when the German media called Leon a parallel importer, Riquelme was very happy: Look, your hypocritical strength has finally been exposed, right?
However, next, Lionwell's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. He led Bayern to keep moving forward. He became the core of Bayern. He became the youngest European footballer and the youngest world footballer Sir - Riquelme's heart is getting more and more impatient as Leonwell breaks one world record after another.
Riquelme wants to perform, he wants to outdo Leonwell, but the more he thinks about it, the worse he is on the pitch.
Gradually, Riquelme found that even Xavi, who came from Barcelona's own youth training, outperformed him. The club had lost patience with him, and Riquelme sat on the bench that he never thought about...
This feeling, this taste almost made Riquelme desperate.
"I'm not the coach of the defensive players. That's what they should do. As for Leonwell, I passed him a lot in Argentina." Riquelme's tone was full of pride. A pride that never bows to anyone.
This is Riquelme's strength and his weakness.
Without this pride, is he still Riquelme? Is it still the classic midfielder?
Antiche looked at the arrogant Riquelme, and he frowned deeply, "Roman, the Lionwell now is not the Lionwell he was a year ago, his progress has surpassed All of our imaginations."
"But even that is the case, head coach, I am sure to beat him!" Riquelme said confidently.
Antiche shook his head: "I hope so." He didn't continue chatting with Riquelme, and Antiche felt that maybe he had to find other ways to deal with Bayern. Riquelme...he really doesn't suit Barcelona.
