"The second half has begun."

"Neither side made a substitution during the half-time break, and they still used the first half lineup."

"Barcelona serves first, and Atletico Madrid still takes the defensive position."

...

"Damn, is this guy a turtle?"

Ferrer almost ran away when he watched on the sidelines.

He really wanted to go over, grabbed Gao Han's clothes and asked him fiercely, "Can you still be more timid?"

You retracted at the beginning of the second half. Are you right?

The assistant coach next to him also smiled helplessly, "This guy is so... so timid."

When he could not swear and vent his anger, he could only scold Gao Han for being timid.

Ferrer was not a young manic boy after all, and he quickly calmed down.

"Tell them, don't worry, keep your patience, take your time, I don't believe he can hide in the turtle shell for the rest of his life!"

The assistant coach nodded and walked to the sidelines to convey Ferrer's meaning.

But sometimes, it does not mean that the head coach can do it meticulously on the court by explaining on the sidelines.

Especially in Barcelona's current situation.

Although Ferrer asked not to be impatient and to maintain patience, the effect was not ideal.

After the opening, the offensive players in the frontcourt pushed up a lot, and couldn't wait to suppress Atletico Madrid from the beginning.

Even goals.

The frontcourt was pressed, and in order to avoid disconnection between front and backcourts, Guardiola in the midfield had to press forward.

The same is true for the defense line.

As a result, Barcelona was pressed up as a whole.

…………

…………

"It seems that Ferrer's words are no longer useful!"

Matayana said in the stands with a sigh.

Since the opening, Ferrer couldn't sit still, stood in the coaching area, walked to the sidelines frequently, calling on the players on the court to withdraw.

But it doesn't work!

Guardiola is very clear about the team's situation and is trying hard to pull the team back, but the attacker in the frontcourt is like a wild horse that has lost its reins and can't even hold it.

"The team's ideas are not unified, and there are differences in their ideas, that's it." Dela Morena shook his head.

The offensive players in the frontcourt want to push up, hoping to change the situation of the game with their personal abilities.

But the meaning of the midfield and backcourt and head coach is that you cannot force Atletico Madrid too tight, you have to withdraw first, let Atletico Madrid breathe a sigh of relief, patiently look for opportunities, and then suddenly press on.

This directly led to the team's thinking disconnection in front and back courts. They wanted to push up the front court, but they tried hard to hold it in the back court. They wanted to withdraw from the back court, but they tried hard to push forward in the front court. How could they not be confused?

It is hard to say which of these two ideas is right and who is wrong.

It's like the two four-to-four draws that Barcelona encountered, and in the end they all relied on the stars' personal abilities to solve the game.

From these two games, it is not difficult to see that the frontcourt star's idea is feasible.

But the problem is that not long ago, when he lost to Osasuna 1-3 away, the frontcourt star didn't work.

So, this is not a question of who is right or wrong, but the team's thinking is not unified.

And at the end of the day, Matayana is right, and Ferrer's words are useless.

"Barcelona shouldn't have revealed the news of Ferrer's dismissal early." Mataana shook her head and sighed.

A head coach is like a department manager of a company and is responsible for managing the entire department.

But imagine, when the boss of this company suddenly announced that the manager did not meet the requirements, the management was very dissatisfied with him and wanted to fire him in the near future. So what would the employees of this department view the manager?

Before he actually left the job, would he still work? Who else would listen to him?

Not to mention that Barcelona now has a superstar’s voice that has obviously surpassed the head coach. The news of Ferrer’s dismissal in advance is leaking the news that he was dismissed. It was simply putting the head coach on a fire. Who would listen to him?

"Barcelona is over!"

"We've fallen into the trap!"

In the media area, Cruyff's face changed slightly and he said in a trembling voice.

"Actually," the TV commentator didn't understand.

"Yes, I've been tricked from the beginning!" Cruyff said with certainty.

"Why?"

"We were completely pulled away by the other party."

"What?"

"We must surpass our opponents in terms of personal abilities and technical abilities. When the opponent is closely defending, we either push forward a strong attack, use a fast-paced offensive, plus pressing and oppressing in the frontcourt to force the opponent to make mistakes, and then use the player's personal abilities to solve the opponent."

The TV commentator reminded: "But our midfielder did not do a good job of pressing and oppressing."

This is very concealed, mainly because the frontcourt stars did not actively invest in counter-attack.

"You are right. Since the strong attack cannot be done, you can only withdraw, slow down the pace appropriately, and patiently look for opportunities."

The on-site commentator now understood, "through the change of rhythm of speed and slowness, we forcibly create loopholes in the opponent's defense."

Cruyff nodded, but looked very worried between his eyebrows.

"Like now, the rhythm is so high-pressed, but the opponent's strict defense is slowed down and cannot get up. Under the opponent's tight defensive formation, there is no gap or threatening attack at all. That is very dangerous."

"In this case, any counterattack of the opponent may create murderous intent, so every time Atletico Madrid's counterattack is forcing our midfielders to fight back and forth with all their might. This is not only a huge physical consumption, but also a mental torment."

The TV commentator was also stunned, "Ferrell seemed to realize this problem and frequently called on the team to retreat."

"I guess there are not many people listening to him!"

Cruyff shook his head and sighed, "Since this season, I have said more than once that he has failed to effectively integrate the team, especially in offense, and is more relying on the personal performance of the frontcourt stars."

"In the face of Atletico Madrid's tight defensive formation, relying too much on the players' individual singles will only slow down the team's rhythm, which will lead to the team being dragged into the slow-paced quagmire by the opponent."

"The pace is slow, but the team is under pressure as a whole, which makes it difficult for our offense to create a threat. Instead of saying it, it exposes the loopholes in our defense to the opponent. This is a chronic suicide!"

Speaking of this, Cruyff suddenly felt cold on his back and looked at Gao Han in the coaching area below the stands.

Is this his strategy in this game?

Can a 23-year-old boy develop such a game strategy?

What's even more terrifying is that he not only formulated it, but was able to put it into practice, allowing the team to play according to his wishes. This is simply...

At this moment, Gao Han suddenly turned around and took a new move.

…………

…………

"Kiko."

As soon as Kiko on the bench heard the head coach calling his name, he jumped up immediately and looked at the head coach, his eyes full of eager expectation.

"Go to warm up, hurry up!"

After saying that, Gao Han turned back and looked at the stadium again.

Kiko felt a little excited, and immediately agreed, and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

The scene of appearing on the bench of Atletico Madrid was immediately captured by fans in the stands and sensitive live broadcasts of the TV station. In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.

...

"We see that Atletico Madrid is about to substitute!"

"It seems that head coach Gao Han is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the team and wants to join Kiko, but I don't know who will replace him."

"The Atletico Madrid fans were in high spirits. There was a saying in the Spanish League Two that every on-the-spot command and substitution of Gao Han can change the situation of the game."

"This time, facing the powerful Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid has been at a disadvantage for a long time. I don't know if it can change the situation with Kiko, and it's not difficult for us to guess Gao Han's intention."

"Kiko is tall, but her feet are very skilled. Facing Barcelona's average height of less than 1.8 meters, the height advantage of more than ten centimeters is enough to give high center forwards like Kiko room to play."

"The fans at the scene were all caught by the upcoming substitution this time. Atletico Madrid fans were cheering, while Barcelona fans were nervous. This looked very interesting. Only Gao Han's substitution could affect the fans' emotions in this way."

...

"Let's change now? Is it too early?" Cantalero walked over.
