Chapter 151 (Part 2) The old and Michael Enrique

The schedule in March and April is very intensive. If they can continue to play in the UEFA Cup, Madibo will have double matches almost every week. Just one week after they tied with Ajax in Amsterdam and eliminated their opponents, it will be the second round of the UEFA Cup.

The first leg of the fourth round at home against Barcelona.

We have reached here, the top 16 and the quarter-finals. Even if we face a giant club as big as Barcelona, ​​Madibao will not give up. Although Madibao is still a small club,

But they will no longer tremble in front of the powerful. They have the pride and courage to fight no matter who they put in front of them. The more famous their opponents are, the more aggressive they will be.

Madibao has an idea, and Uncle Zha has an idea. In order to compete well with Barcelona, ​​the big mule and Malaysia all recuperated three days ago. Madibao, who only played with a full substitute lineup, still won 1:0 at home.

A small victory over old rival Osnabruck in Class C. New aid Zhirkov killed everyone, one

He stirs up opponents, and Osnabrück's midfielder Kleinin, who is brilliant in the C-League, is a hammer in front of him. Kleinin, who won the Silver Ball Award in the C-League last year, has obviously not made much progress.

He who once triumphed with the Six Musketeers at the C level now can't even eat the ashes of the six young masters.

In the evening, team leader Zhuo Yang hosted a banquet to congratulate Zhirkov. The Russians were quite unambiguous when it came to drinking. Zhuo Yang didn’t dare to challenge him at all. But when Cheryl introduced her best friend to Zhirkov, the young man

His face turned red immediately, and he completely lost his calmness and domineering attitude on the court.

The young men who have had enough of it and worked hard are finally looking forward to coming to Barcelona today, but the current situation of this giant is not very good. For most teams, being able to participate in a competition like the UEFA Cup is an honor.

This is especially true for a small club like Fort Maddie.

This kind of glory. However, for Barcelona, ​​it is a shame to participate in the UEFA Cup. Because there are only two super giants in La Liga, Real Madrid and them, and there are four places in the Champions League.

The team took off their skin completely.

In fact, Barcelona has not ranked among the top three in the league for four consecutive seasons. Last season, it was only ranked sixth. This is simply a shame. However, this is not the end. This season, Barcelona was even ranked 15th.

The name is simply embarrassing.

Moreover, Barcelona’s performance in the European competition had not been very good before this. Such a big giant has only one Champions League in its history. No one dares to believe it. And their old enemy Real Madrid already has nine.

Champions League.

This year is a period of drastic transformation for Barcelona, ​​but from the current point of view, it is not successful.

.

Although Zhuo Yang has been fascinated by Ronaldinho for a long time, Ronaldinho is not facing him today. Barcelona, ​​which pays attention to technology and midfield, the most important position is the central axis of the midfield, that is, the two people in the middle.

.Today, sitting deeper in the middle is the 24-year-old Spaniard Xavi, who has been famous for a long time. This is a very magical player.

When he was just 20 years old, Xavi became the core of the star-studded Barcelona team, successfully replacing the aging meritorious player Guardiola, and became better and better as he worked, and even became a representative figure of the organizational midfielder.

But Xavi was severely restricted today, and the person who restricted him was the butcher De Jong.

In the Madibao team, Butcher and Zhuoyang are the double defensive midfielders, but De Jong's position is slightly ahead, and in front of him is Xiaozhu. Of course, these guys often change positions, and the changes are very outrageous.

But today the Butcher was asked to nail Harvey. Harvey is indeed very good, but he has never encountered an opponent with such a strong defense in his position, because the average team against him is an organization with average defense.

Midfielder. However, the butcher De Jong is the originator of the defensive midfielder.

Harvey is better than the Butcher. After all, De Jong is still very young and has not experienced many strong opponents. However, Harvey was caught off guard and was in a hurry, and it was difficult to adapt for a while.

Xavi is positioned at the back, and in front of him is another central midfielder, midfielder Luis Enrique. It is this famous veteran that Zhuo Yang faces today.

Enrique is a man with a lot of stories. He was born in Real Madrid and later became the vanguard of the Barcelona team's anti-Real Madrid team. He was the one who scolded the most. Just like some rebels, in order to show their loyalty to the new master and get rid of suspicion, they will

He was more cruel than the enemy to deal with his own people. During the Anti-Japanese War, many traitors, puppet soldiers and Japanese were much crueler than the Japanese. Of course, this metaphor is not suitable at all for Enrique.

Enrique became well-known to the world when Spain faced Italy in the quarter-finals of the 1994 World Cup. He was elbowed by Italian defender Tassotti and broke the bridge of his nose. The whole world saw it, and only those who were on duty

The referee didn't see it. The scene of Enrique trying to fight Tassotti with blood all over his face will always be fixed in the minds of fans.

Enrique is a very outstanding attacking midfielder, but he is old. He is 34 years old this year and cannot deal with the 18-year-old Zhuoyang. Captain Madiburg made him very embarrassed. Time is no match for youth. What can be done?

Enrique has been thinking about one thing in the past six months: What to do after playing this year? He has three options: retire after completing his one-year optional contract with Barcelona; return to Gijon, the first team of his youth

Play competitively for another year and then retire; retire directly.

Barcelona hopes that he will choose the first option, and Lian Po still has some residual enthusiasm. Enrique himself prefers the second option and returns to his roots.

The new head coach Rijkaard sent veteran Enrique to the important midfielder position after careful consideration because he has rich experience and hopes that his experience can restrain the young and scary Madibao. Unfortunately, Rijkaard

Virtue failed.

Rijkaard is also a man with a story. He was the most inconspicuous of the Dutch "Three Musketeers" in the past, but in fact Rijkaard is a very great talented player. He was a central defender.

Known as the best central defender in the world at that time, of course, Baresi and Costacurta expressed dissatisfaction on the spot. So, they came to A

Rijkaard of C Milan was transformed into a defensive midfielder by Sacchi, who ranked first among the "Top 100 Coaches in the World". As a result, Rijkaard forced the two main players of the Italian national team Ancelotti and Ancelotti into the defensive midfielder position.

Albertini could only compete for another position in AC Milan. A few days later, at the age of 32, Ancelotti chose to retire reluctantly.

Rijkaard pioneered the all-around defensive midfielder and is considered the originator. In the eyes of authoritative football people, he is much better than the other two "Three Musketeers" Gullit and Basten. It's just that he is much better than the other two "Three Musketeers".

He is just low-key by nature, unlike those two who are hot-tempered.

The low-key Rijkaard became very tough when he became the coach. As soon as he took office, he put the main center and the former Argentine golden boy Saviola on the bench and insisted on re-employing his compatriot, one of the representatives of the 1976 Super Platinum Generation.
