Chapter 122 Do You Believe In Me?(1/2)
Ferrer stood in the locker room, in front of him were eleven starting players he carefully selected.
The goalkeeper is 19-year-old Jose Manuel Reiner.
In the past few years, Barcelona's goalkeeper's position has also been turbulent.
First, Portugal's national goalkeeper Baia, but Van Gaal soon introduced Dutch goalkeeper Hesp and has firmly occupied the main position of the goal in the past three seasons.
But with Van Gaal resignation, Hesp also transferred. Although the team quickly introduced French goalkeeper Ditruer from Vigo Celta, and coupled with the team's substitute goalkeeper Arnau, Ferrer eventually focused on cultivating young player Renner.
The team's formation is mainly three, four, and three.
The three defenders in the defensive line are Sergi, Debor and Rezig.
The midfielder took a diamond-shaped position, with Guardiola behind him, Koku and Gabrie ahead, and Rivaldo ahead.
There are three players in the front court, the Dutch fast horse Ovemas on the left, Cruivett on the middle, and Louis Enrique on the right.
This is the strongest starting lineup that Barcelona can rank.
Ferrer's eyes swept across the eleven players one after another, but he failed to get feedback from the players.
This disappointed him.
From beginning to end, for a year, he has not convinced this group of players to him so far.
He is destined to leave Barcelona, but before he leaves, he must leave something.
It's not because he's a Barcelona fan, but because of his career.
He needs people to remember that he once won a Copa del Rey for Barcelona!
"Ahem!"
Ferrer coughed twice, attracting the attention of the stars in the locker room.
But someone just looked up at him and continued to do his own thing.
He has long been used to this.
"I believe everyone knows how important this game is to us today!"
Ferrer hopes to use his opening remarks to calm the stars as much as possible.
But it is obvious that these people are all human geniuses, and few of them can tell his way.
"Our opponent Atletico Madrid is very tenacious. They have excellent defense. They have changed coaches this season. By the end of January, the current head coach Gao Han has maintained a winning streak so far and has adjusted very well."
"We must give enough attention!"
When Ferrer said this, he still looked at the players in front of him, but there was still little feedback.
Captain Guardiola seemed to listen to it the most seriously, but Ferrer knew exactly how much appeal he had in the locker room.
"It is precisely because Atletico Madrid's defense is excellent and the counterattack is sharp, so we cannot give our opponents any chance. We must firmly grasp the initiative from the beginning of the game and put pressure on Atletico Madrid from the first minute of the game."
"This requires our frontcourt players to always be focused and harass Atletico Madrid's midfield and backcourt, and also requires our midfielders to put enough pressure on their opponents."
When he said this, Ferrer once again emphasized his tone and reminded his players.
"We have to end this battle with goals in the shortest time!"
Barcelona's strengths and weaknesses are impossible to be unclear.
He knew that the longer the time would be, the more unfavorable it would be for Barcelona.
Since Barcelona's advantage is attack, they have to play a quick attack. From the beginning of the game, it is like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, sweeping across Atletico Madrid's defense zone. As long as one goal can be scored, Barcelona will take the initiative, score two goals, and be sure to win.
"Finally, I want to say that tonight, we will definitely be able to bring this championship trophy back to Barcelona!"
“As long as everyone present works together!”
It was only then that the players raised their heads a little and looked at the head coach with a thick mustache in front of them.
The referee's ringtone urging the field to promote the ring.
…………
…………
The ringtone of entering the venue broke the tranquility of the locker room.
Everyone looked at the head coach sitting by the door and realized that he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
This doesn't look like the boss's style!
Didn’t he have to say something about mobilization before every game?
Why did you remain silent today?
Could it be that the incident on the bus just now annoyed him?
But it doesn't look like it either!
Amid the players' doubts, Gao Han came over.
"The ringtone rang, Mr. Arlanda is urging us to enter!"
Gao Han said this with a faint smile.
But the players couldn't laugh.
"This game tonight is completely different from any game normally, I believe you understand."
The players all nodded, and of course they understood.
"I believe that before such a game, I don't need to say anything more. You will do your best to win the game."
The players are still all together, they will definitely work hard.
"I will only ask you one question now that you are about to step out of this gate."
All the players raised their heads in unison and looked at the head coach.
"Do you believe me?"
The players nodded in unison again and replied in unison: "Faith!"
"Very good. As long as you believe me, you won't lose this game!"
"Okay!" The players answered in unison again.
Gao Han raised his right hand and said, "Let's get on!"
…………
…………
"We saw players from both teams stepping into the stadium one after another."
"We have just introduced Barcelona's starting lineup. Now let's take a look at the 11-man starting lineup of Atletico Madrid that we just got."
"The goalkeeper has no suspense, Tony Jimenez."
"The defense line is from left to right, young player Antonio Lopez, central defender is Carlos Marchena partnered with Mirsad Ibic, and right back is veteran Juan Aguilera."
"It's obvious that in such an important game, Gao Han still chose to be safe and did not arrange for the start of Roberto and central defender Pablo Ibanes who performed well recently."
"This is not surprising. After all, Roberto has been playing on the right forward before. Although he performed well as the right back, defense is a big problem. As for Pablo Ibanes, he is too young and he still has to trust Ibic at critical moments."
"Aguilera retreated to play right back, and the midfield combination changed. Zoran Nicos returned to the starting lineup, and Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna partnered with him, and the three formed the three midfielders of Atletico Madrid midfielder."
"The frontcourt has not changed much. David Villa and Torres form a double frontcourt striker. They are the weapon of Atletico Madrid's counterattack, while Portuguese genius midfielder Ugo Leal cruising behind them."
"These three players are guaranteed when Atletico Madrid counterattack. I don't know how many teams die at their feet. Barcelona must also pay attention. Once their defense reveals a flaw, they may be caught."
"The captains of both teams are making guesses."
…………
…………
The players on the court were guessing the side, and Gao Han and Ferrer got together on the sidelines.
Before the game, the two head coaches shook hands, and it was a routine to be polite.
But it doesn't seem to be very harmonious.
"The game is finally here, be careful!" Ferrer said with a smile.
It seemed like he was joking, but in fact, he was very serious.
"Each of each other." Gao Han refused to give in, "I roughly calculated that you only have sixty minutes."
Ferrer frowned, not very understanding Gao Han's meaning.
"If you can't score within 60 minutes, you'll die here!"
Ferrell became popular immediately, "Is that so? I promise, I will definitely score within 60 minutes!"
It was obvious that he could understand what Gao Han said, behind the meaning behind sixty minutes.
"Let's see!" Gao Han turned around and left.
Just at this time, on the court, the two teams had completed guessing the side and Atletico Madrid got the serve.
