"Barcelona is undoubtedly the best team in football today, and I think even Real Madrid fans should admit it."

At the pre-match press conference, Van Basten changed his past pride and completely lowered his posture:

"Mr. Guardiola is the best coach in football today. In his first season in coaching Barcelona, ​​he won great honors that most people would never get in their entire lives. He has made extremely successful improvements to Barcelona's tactical style, making the team's playing style more pleasing to the eye and more dominant. This control-type playing style has led the trend and will inevitably bring about changes in the entire football technology and tactics."

"Of course, we must also admit that Barcelona has gathered a large number of outstanding players. Because of their existence, Coach Guardiola's tactics have found a place to be used. Among these players, Leo Messi is undoubtedly the best player in football today. He has dominated the Golden Ball Awards and the Footballer for two consecutive years. Even if this honor is included in the entire football history, few people can do it."

"I once carefully checked Barcelona's results this season. Apart from losing to Hercules in the second round of the league and losing to Arsenal in the first leg of the quarterfinals, they did not lose another game. This report card shocked me and I couldn't even think of other words to describe my current mood."

"Anyway, the strength of Ajax and Barcelona are too different. We just want to be able to play in our own style and learn something from our opponents."

Van Basten's speech was almost equivalent to a blatant surrender. The player representatives at the press conference were also surprised that they were not the club's "official spokesperson" and vice captain Long Shute, but the first captain Suarez, who has not appeared for a long time.

"I agree with the head coach's opinion just now. As a Uruguayan player, I have been watching Barcelona players play football since I was a child. I respect them very much and yearn for this football temple. Playing football with Messi, Xavi, Iniesta is definitely a great enjoyment..."

Captain Ajax just wanted to tell everyone clearly that he was extremely eager to be a member of Barcelona.

The statements of the coach and captain of Ajax made the Dutch media who went to Spain with the team a little disappointed, but they could only admit that from the perspective of the cards, there was nothing wrong with these two speeches.

The opponent not only includes the top three Golden Ball Awards in 2010, but also many players selected for the 2010 FIFA, UEFA and World Cup best team. Such a super luxurious lineup is even pale in comparison to Real Madrid, which also ensures that even if Inter Milan snatched the Champions League championship last season, they are still the most popular team with the most strength to win the championship.

Faced with such a dream team, Ajax is the most reasonable thing to bow his head, right?

-

April 6th arrives as scheduled.

Compared with the Amsterdam Arena with a capacity of only 50,000, Camp Nou, which can accommodate 100,000 spectators, is undoubtedly a magnificent football temple. In European football, perhaps only their mortal enemy, and Real Madrid's Bernabeu can compete with it.

Even the locker room of the away team is more spacious and comfortable than the locker room of Ajax's home team - after all, Ajax's transfer budget in one season cannot even buy a Barcelona player, and the financial situation of the two clubs is completely incomparable.

The huge stands were filled with red, blue and yellow colors. Less than 3,000 red and white Ajax fans were completely squeezed into an inconspicuous corner by thirty times their home fans. If the staff hadn't told the players in advance, they would probably not be able to find their supporters...

Long Shute, who walked into the player channel, looked at the opponents who were far away from him.

Vice captain Xavi, goalkeeper Valdes, four defenders Alves, Pique, Busquets (guest role), Adriano, midfielder Mascherano, Keita, Iniesta, as well as forwards Villa and Messi.

This lineup is not flawless, at least they have two positions that are obviously not on the same level as others.

Long Shute's eyes slowly moved on these starters, and Van Basten's final emphasis was still in his ears:

"Note their left back. Adriano is just a new player. His cooperation with the entire team cannot achieve excellent tacit understanding, especially his defensive ability, which is far less stable than Abidal. In addition, Busquets plays a guest appearance in the central defender, the two of them can definitely be our breakthrough!"

If Abidal had not suffered from liver cancer, Adriano would never have had so many opportunities to play after joining Barcelona.

In fact, in some less important games, Guardiola would rather let Adriano be the left winger, while captain Puyol was allowed to play the left back, and the free central defender position was handed over to Mascherano or Busquets because he was not very concerned about Adriano's defensive ability.

But now Puyol is absent due to injury. Facing a striker of Suarez's level, Guardiola never dared to use his height to hit the central defender, so he could only let Busquets continue to play a cameo.

Busquets' height of nearly 1.90 meters is enough to compete for high-altitude balls, but in contrast, his ability to turn and chase back is not so reassuring, while another central defender, Pique, is a tall and large defender with long legs and slow turn.

These two central defenders combinations... are simply the best gift for Suarez, who is best at taking advantage of the gaps!

-

In addition to Adriano, another relatively weak player is midfielder Sedo Keita.

Compared with midfield partners such as Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Keita seems to have a much weaker reputation, but when he debuted, he was able to crush these teammates than these people. He was the MVP of the 1999 World Youth Championship!

In this honor evaluation, the two opponents he defeated were called Frank Lampard and Ronaldinho...

If you only compare the honors of the youth team, in Barcelona, ​​there may be only MVP Messi in the 2007 World Youth Championship, which can be compared with him.

But this former MVP can be the core of other teams in La Liga, but in this star-studded Barcelona team, he can only play the role of a substitute player, and has worked hard to undertake many defensive tasks. At first glance, he has played quite a lot, but the number of games he played as the starter is less than half, and most of them are irrelevant games when some main players rotate...

His characteristics are very comprehensive: he can organize simple, actively forward when attacking, can act as an arrow to grab points, have a long-range shooting ability, and often serves as a defensive midfielder. In terms of technical footwork, he can also meet the requirements of Guardiola. In addition, his mental qualities of hard work and courage, hard work can also win the favor of the head coach.

But his shortcomings are also in terms of both the word "fullness" and the word "fullness". He is competent in almost all positions, but he is not outstanding in all positions.

As a defender, he is not as good as Abidal and Puyol. As a midfielder, he cannot compete with Mascherano, who is the absolute main player in Liverpool.

Sorry, Barcelona has Xavi and Iniesta, and his small-scale cooperation ability is not as good as the young Lamacia training Busquets; compared with speed, no one of the young players such as Pedro and other players is slower than him; compared with goals, he is not one-tenth of the football king in a season, not to mention Barcelona's forward line has always been world-class, and no one such superstar such as Etoo, Henry, Ibrahimovic can shake...

So he can only be regarded as a bottle of panacea, and he can only get a chance when the team is injured or rotated.

Thanks to Barcelona's success in recent years, all fronts have made great progress, and the maximum number of games in the whole year is over 60 games. Teammates always have injuries or ups and downs, so his appearances are not small.

"This Barcelona team is far from being the peak. They have too many weaknesses. We have praised so much before the game. They will inevitably look down on us. We can seize this opportunity..."

Van Basten's tactical analysis is still in his ears, and the game has begun.

The home team kicked off first.

Villa, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Mascherano, Pique...

Their passing balls are like flowing, with extremely fast frequency and speed, which is dazzling. Unless there is no Ajax team within ten meters around, few people will stick to the ball for a long time.

Passing and controlling football is a habit they have developed for a long time, and an unparalleled sense of tacit understanding supports them in defeating all their opponents.

Long Shute stared at his object of letting go, but he couldn't finish the interception with a pass at this rhythm.

He could only follow Messi step by step and then watch as the entire Barcelona team pressed forward.

Adriano, who was called "strong offense and weak defense" by Van Basten, stepped up along the left road. After receiving a pass from Xavi, he immediately cooperated with Keita with two and one passes, and Ajax's Dezeu and others easily broke through.

Adriano kept not stopping. He shook Van derville with a fake move of stance, but suddenly pulled the ball backward and directly raised his foot to sweep towards the middle!

Messi, under Long Shute's close guard, suddenly accelerated, and his unparalleled explosive power was thrown away by him!

It's not that he is much faster than Vice Captain Ajax, but he has the advantage of taking the initiative. Even if the other party with passive defense is of equal level, he will always be half a step slower in the startup time.

What is a half-step distance enough to do?

If they were Chinese players, they wouldn't be able to do anything. Even if they were given three seconds, they wouldn't be able to adjust the cross from the wing...

But for Messi, as long as he has room to stretch his feet, he can create opportunities!

Messi did not adjust any movement, and he stepped forward very casually against the passing!

The football flew past Vertonheng's feet as if it had eyes!

A red and blue figure barely came out from behind him!

When Iniesta, who had completed the offside, gently pushed the ball into the goal, Ajax's substitute goalkeeper Furmeer had not even taken his sight back from Messi.

The entire Camp Nou was boiling!

They sang the name of the goalkeeper:

"Andre...Iniesta!"

Just one minute and forty seconds into the game, Barcelona broke through the opponent's goal with a surprise attack!

"Smack!"

Van Basten suddenly felt his cheeks swollen!

What weaknesses?

What weakness?

Adriano and Keita both participated in the attack!

You said that if Barcelona wanted to despise Ajax?

You said that you can learn something from Camp Nou to paralyze your opponent?
Chapter completed!
