Chapter 718: A Contest Full of Dutch Football Shadows
Cruyff, a Dutch football superstar, is not an exaggeration to call him even the first person in Dutch football, Cruyff has been inseparable from Barcelona since 1973, and has been influencing Barcelona for more than two decades. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Barcelona's first "dream team" was formed by Cruyff, and La Masia, the world's most famous youth training base, was formed by Cruyff, so Cruyff is also known as the godfather of Barcelona, and Barcelona's football has a heavy shadow of Dutch football.
Manchester City's football is also deeply shadowed by Dutch football, after all, Van Basten is the best in the Netherlands, and even like Cruyff, he also came from Ajax.
After Cruyff, the man who carried the Ajax flag was called Marco van Basten, one of the greatest strikers in the history of European and even Dutch football.
Therefore, this game can also be regarded as a contest between a different kind of Dutch football, Ajax is a battle between predecessors and predecessors, Cruyff at the fore, Van Basten at the back, the two most legendary superstars of Dutch football, and the totemic figures of Dutch football.
Therefore, although the football of the two teams is similar, but there is a big difference, take the ball as an example, in fact, both teams are pursuing possession, but what Barcelona is pursuing is absolute control, watching Barcelona's game, you can often see them controlling the ball back and forth in the midfield.
But this is not the case if you watch Manchester City, who also control the ball, but City will turn the players at their feet into waves of attack.
But this is very demanding for the midfield, which is why Van Basten cannot succeed at Ajax, because there is a lack of Li Feng in the middle, so Van Basten's tactics can lack anyone, but only Li Feng cannot be missing.
"Manchester City are very strong, Marco has done very well this season, I am looking forward to the match between Barcelona and Manchester City, and I am sure that Barcelona will not disappoint the fans who support them" Sure enough, this kind of game media will certainly not forget Cruyff.
"I will not be surprised who can enter the final between Manchester City and Barcelona, because the strength of the two teams is very close, of course~~ If I really want to support that team, I choose Manchester City" After Cruyff expressed his support for Barcelona, Van Gaal followed closely to support Manchester City.
I have to say that these two stood up and attracted a lot of firepower for Manchester City and Barcelona, after all, the grievances and grievances between the two have been entangled for decades.
Not to mention, let's just say that after Van Basten retired from the national team in 08, Van Gaal wanted to take charge of the Dutch national team, but Cruyff directly intervened to block it, which eventually led to Van Gaal's defeat.
Of course~~~ It is precisely because of this that Van Gaal moved to the Bundesliga, so as to discover Li Feng, and then there is today's situation, perhaps this is the so-called one drink and one peck in China.
For a while, the two clubs did not pinch each other, but the two Dutch celebrities tore apart first, but the two attracted attention in how to tear up in the end, or Manchester City and Barcelona.
At 8pm English time, the Etihad Stadium was already packed, and the players of both teams had already warmed up and returned to the dressing room.
"Barcelona is strong? I don't deny that, and no one can deny it, they are the strongest team in Europe at the moment, and I admit it, but one thing I do know is that we are definitely not worse than Barcelona," Van Basten said as he looked at his disciples in the home dressing room.
"One step further~~~ we can go to the final, the final of the European Champions Cup, so there won't be too many chances, really, even if some of you are still very young, but it really won't be too much, because I also came from the playing days, and I know very well what kind of opportunity this is."
"Now the opportunity is in front of you, the next thing is up to you" Van Basten did not speak, he did not stay in the dressing room, took away the assistant coach Kidd, took away all the members of the coaching team.
For a while, the locker room was quiet again, and outside the locker room, assistant coach Kidd asked nervously: "There won't be any problems with this, right?" ”
"Of course not~~~ I am confident that although this is the first time that many people have reached the last four of the Champions League, I always believe that we have the strength to compete for the final honor," Van Basten said with a determined face.
"Guys~~~ You say, is the head outside the door now ready to eavesdrop on us" And in the locker room, Li Feng was the first to speak.
"Otherwise~~~ Let's make a bet, you can open the door and take a look now" Aguero, who was sitting next to Li Feng, rolled his eyes and said.
"Cut~~~" Of course Li Feng wouldn't be so stupid, "Actually~~~ I want to ask everyone, are you nervous?" Ignoring Aguero, Li Feng turned his head to look at the others and asked.
"I can also understand, after all, you haven't entered the Champions League semi-finals before, don't worry, I can understand this, as a person who has reached the final, I won't make fun of everyone" But before his teammates could answer, Li Feng said to himself.
"Hey~~~Wind~~~ It's rare that you don't know, I'm the one who has won the Champions League," Yaya Toure immediately stood up and said disdainfully.
"You're the main player in the team? If I'm not mistaken, at that time, you should only be a member of the Barcelona rotation," Li Feng unceremoniously debunked.
Money is only one of the reasons why Yaya Toure left Barcelona and came to Manchester City, after all, the player's career is very short, but the main reason is that he has not received enough attention and respect from the manager at Barcelona.
"In the Champions Cup, I am the absolute main force," Yaya Toure argued.
"Stop~~~~ I said can you two not talk about your glorious history, you must know that the past is in the past, and now, we should focus on Barcelona instead of nostalgia for the past of the two of you" Kompany interrupted.
Then others joined in the denunciation, and for a while, the tension in the dressing room was swept away, but fortunately there were no outsiders at this time, and if outsiders saw it, they thought that the Manchester City players were under too much pressure and what infighting had happened.
In the end, it was assistant coach Kidd who came in to put an end to the denunciation, because Kidd was there to inform the players of the game, so even if they didn't want to stop. (To be continued.) )
