【No Friendship Update】

"Mr. Yang Cheng, who will win tonight's game?"

At the corner of the elevator in the hotel lobby, Yang Cheng and the beautiful reporter from France stood in the corner of the aisle, with a slender hand and a voice recorder between the two.

"Looks like your equipment has improved this time!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Melissa Trio blushed, obviously thinking of the previous interview with Yang Cheng, especially in the World Cup final, when she brought a camera, and was extremely embarrassed.

"Answer my question first, okay?" Melissa whispered.

Yang Cheng was serious for a moment, nodded and said, "It must be our Kaiserslautern!" ”

"But Van Gaal says Barcelona are fully prepared for this final!" Melissa also hopes that Yang Cheng can win, but this is Barcelona's home stadium, and she is still a little worried.

"What he says is his business, getting three points is the key!" Yang Cheng smiled confidently.

Melissa agreed, and in her impression, Yang Cheng was always so confident.

"Okay, it's done, you go first!" Yang Cheng issued an eviction order.

"Huh?" Melissa didn't expect Yang Cheng to drive her away.

"This is where our team is based, you can't stay longer!" Yang Cheng is very principled.

Melissa was a little disappointed, "I was going to treat you to dinner, thank you!" ”

Although the scandal at the World Cup made Melissa a little embarrassed, it did fuel her career, and now she is an official reporter for the French regional news station, and if she is still studying in school, she can become a news anchor.

"Save it for next time!" Yang Cheng smiled and patted Melissa on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the elevator room.

Melissa watched Yang Cheng leave, somewhat disappointed.

She did everything possible to get into the hotel this time and waited in the lobby for a morning, the purpose was to see Yang Cheng, and she finally got her wish, and interviewed him in the name of official business, but she didn't expect that they didn't even have the opportunity to sit down and eat.

"Perhaps, he's busy preparing for the game!" Melissa comforted herself.

"As I expected!"

In front of the away team's dugout at the bustling Camp Nou,

Yang Cheng looked at the players who came out of the two teams one after another, and he counted the lineup of Barcelona, and it was exactly the same as he expected.

In fact, there are not many first-team players available for Barcelona this season, that is, to choose between a back three and a back four, but as it stands, Van Gaal still decides to continue with last season's 3331 tactic.

It's not hard to guess, because Barca's backline is so weak that you can't believe it.

Sergi, Abelardo and Reziger, this is Van Gaal's most used back three combination this season, but in addition to Abelardo, Sergi and Reziger are full-backs, the defensive ability of these three players is self-evident, Barcelona can play two 3:3 draws with Manchester United this season, more depends on their attack.

Before the back three, Cocu, Pep Guardiola and Sellades formed a defensive line in front of the defence, and the first two players need not be introduced, both are powerful players, Sellades is currently taking turns with teenager Xavi, but Van Gaal is not satisfied with their performance.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, Sillades switched to Celta at the end of this season, and together with Claude Makelele, he formed Celta's solid back line, and then joined the Galaxy Real Madrid in 2000, which was regarded as a traitor by Barcelona fans.

The back three were preceded by three defenders, with Rivaldo playing on the left, Luis Enrique in the middle, Figo on the right, and Kluivert as the lone striker in front.

After Van Gaal entered Barcelona, he vigorously promoted Dutchization, Cocu, Kluivert, Zenden and others have joined Barcelona one after another, and there will be De Boer brothers and others next, but now, Van Gaal's midfield is seriously short of manpower, so that he wants to copy Ajax's 433 tactics has never been able to do so.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng suddenly flashed a confident smile.

He expected Barcelona's line-up, but Van Gaal didn't guess Kaiserslautern's. , in this game, Yang Cheng changed the formation of 451 tactics, or should be called 4321, but these are just numbers. Reynke is still in goal, with Dede, Linke, Lucio and Fritz at the back from left to right, Nedved, Veron, Gattuso, Ballack and Denilson in midfield, and Ruud van Nissen up front.

"In this game, I'm going to eat him!" Yang Cheng felt confident that his plot had succeeded.

…………

…………

'Dede picked up the ball on the left and pushed forward quickly, and the Brazilian dribbled the ball quickly and crossed the half court and into Barcelona's half-court area.

"Serrades was ready to go forward to block and help Reziger, but Dede chose to pass the ball, handed the ball to Denilson, who received it, and then rushed to the bottom line himself, Denilson faced Reziger directly, did not stick to the ball, and passed directly behind him!"

"A beautiful one-two, Dede takes the ball on the left side of the penalty area, no one is marking, the ball is crossed!"

"The ball is in!"

"A very beautiful goal, Ballack, Michael Ballack!"

'It was a brilliant header, Kaiserslautern opened the scoring for Barcelona in his third attack less than four minutes into the game, and Michael Ballack's goal gave Kaiserslautern a glimmer of victory!"

After Ballack's leap to the top and the goal, in front of the coach's bench, Yang Cheng and his assistants hugged each other, and on the bench, all the Kaiserslautern substitutes hugged tightly.

Yang Cheng excitedly held Paul Baier's head and shouted excitedly: "Do you know why? ”

"Barcelona's back line is too low, so I'm constantly practising on both wings!" Yang Cheng smiled proudly.

Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ballack are both tall men close to 1.9 meters tall, and their physical confrontation ability is very good, but on the other hand, Barcelona's backline, Sergi is 1.69 meters, Reziger is 1.78 meters, Abelardo is taller, but it is only 1.83 meters, but every time he attacks, Kaiserslautern has two points, Vanney and Ballack, and even Nedved and others will be ambushed outside the penalty area.

Long shot is also a favorable weapon for Yang Cheng to deal with Barcelona, after all, on a rainy day, long shot is more difficult to prevent!

Barcelona's defense this season is notoriously bad, La Liga is currently in 13 rounds, but Barcelona has conceded 18 goals, and even one of them lost 1:3 at home to Villarreal, 2:4 to Valencia and other games, you know, today's Villarreal is not a submarine coached by engineers, and now Villarreal is a promoted horse, the first time in history to participate in La Liga, the number one favorite for relegation.

However, Barca have been able to perform well thanks to their attack, which has scored 21 goals in 13 league games, second only to Real Madrid's 24 goals, and their attacking power should not be underestimated.

Therefore, when Yang Cheng saw Barcelona restart, he immediately signaled the players to pay attention and follow the pre-match plan.

…………

…………

Although the rain had stopped, the grass on the pitch was still a little slippery, and Guardiola received a knock back from Rivaldo on the right, and when he stopped the ball, he opened up a little bit, which made him curse in his heart.

"Damn stagnant water!"

Although the drainage system at the Camp Nou is good, there is still a lot of water in the turf, which makes the whole football very slippery, and even the most skilled players can easily make mistakes if they are not careful.

But as soon as Guardiola stopped the ball, a player was immediately blocked in front of him.

Gattuso!

The Italian pestered Pep Guardiola, even bumping him with his body from time to time, and even squeezing him, but it was clear that his real purpose was still focused on the ball, ready to find an opportunity to kick him at any time.

Pep Guardiola held his head up, dealing with Gattuso's entanglement and trying to pass the ball.

When the ball passed from Guardiola to Cocu, Guardiola obviously felt the pressure relaxed, and saw that Gattuso had rushed towards Cocu quickly, but this did not mean that Guardiola's side was completely free.

When Cocu was interfered with by Ballack and saw Gattuso pounce again, and immediately chose to knock back to Guardiola, Veron suddenly jumped up and stabbed directly with his foot to intercept the ball.

After Veron successfully broke the ball, he immediately sent the ball forward.

Denilson won the ball down the middle and immediately handed it to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had his back to Abelardo but immediately crossed back to Denilson, who saw the Brazilian dribble quickly down the middle. ,

Reziger stared at him closely, and Denilson, as he pushed to the edge of the box, saw that there was no chance and his team-mate was not following up, so he hurried to shoot from distance.

It's high!

Denelson shook his head and walked back with a wry smile.

Obviously, he saw Yang Cheng's action of shouting at him, and knew that he was too anxious and went against the head coach's intentions.

…………

…………

In this game, Yang Cheng specially arranged 4 tough guy midfielders for Barcelona, just to limit Barcelona's organization.

He had speculated before the game that Louis van Gaal would play as a single striker, so it would have been wasted to use a back three, so he switched to Rink and Lucio at centre-back, followed by Dede and Fritz at full-back.

The midfield position of 5 is actually very fluid, Denilson can roam around and behind Ruud van Nistelrooy, looking for loopholes, and he can choose to play alone or lean in with his team-mates.

The first goal was scored by Denilson and Dede after a cross from the left.

It can be said that Yang Cheng gave Denelson a lot of freedom in this game.

The other one who was freed was Gattuso.

Kaiserslautern's midfield has always been pressing and aggressive, Ballack, Gattuso and Nedved are all very strong tough guys, and Veron, although weak, has excellent running ability and good awareness.

Gattuso's task is to harass and delay, he can even be said to be a ball grabber, just run after the ball, Ballack, Nedved and Veron form a triangular defensive area next to Gattuso, their task is to cut off Gattuso's target from the outside world.

Just like the break just now, Gattuso pounced on Guardiola, Nedved and Ballack immediately echoed, and when Guardiola got rid of Gattuso's entanglement, he passed the ball to Cocu, Ballack pressed the opponent directly, forcing Cocu to not be able to take the ball calmly, plus Gattuso immediately pressed, Cocu hurriedly passed back to Guardiola.

Veron was ambushed around, and immediately intercepted the ball after seeing it clearly.

Yang Cheng's midfield joint defense has been brewing for a long time, and it has been practiced many times, which was designed after Gattuso became a qualified-stirring stick, and after more than two years of cooperation, it is now perfectly used.

The advantage of this set of joint defense is that the midfield maintains aggressiveness and pressure, forcing Barcelona's ball to be difficult to pass smoothly in the midfield, and it is limited everywhere, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it cannot invest enough troops when attacking.

Denilson's counterattack just now is an example, Ballack, Nedved and others were unable to put in the counterattack, and there was only one Denilson and Vanney left in front, which was difficult to work.

However, Yang Cheng did not let Denilson shoot from a distance at will, but let him hold the ball in the front court, stabilize it if he can't counterattack, and buy enough time for the team's overall pressure.

…………

…………

Since conceding the goal, Van Gaal has learned from Yang Cheng to walk out of the coach's box.

He knew in his heart Barcelona's strengths and flaws, so he always hoped to be able to replace defense with offense, and it was best to suppress the opponent with offense, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Cheng directly cut off Barcelona's seven inches.

Without the midfielder, Barcelona's goal seemed to be open in front of Kaiserslautern's gun, bombing at will.

"If I had enough players in my hands now, I wouldn't have played 3331!"

Louis van Gaal lamented that he wanted a centre-back, a midfielder who could play both offensively and defensively, similar to the type of Cocu, but unfortunately Barcelona have not been able to give him enough resources at the moment.

After the first 30 minutes of the game, Van Gaal only felt powerless, because after the midfield was suppressed, Barcelona's attack could not be organized at all, except for Figo who could make a difference on the right side, Rivaldo was even more restless on the left side, frequently leaning towards the middle, not to mention, it also affected Kluivert and Enrique.

And Kaiserslautern's physically strong and somewhat frightening central defender actually firmly froze Kluivert, coupled with a link with outstanding awareness of making up for leaks, Barcelona's offense is like hitting a wall, Kaiserslautern's midfield and the defense of the back line are very tightly combined, once Barcelona's attack enters this area, no matter how fast and fierce it is, it will be resolved.

"Who would have thought that Kaiserslautern would also fight back defensively!" But it was at Van Gaal's mind that Kaiserslautern once again overturned his idea. Barcelona played the ball to the left in an attack in the 32nd minute, and Fritz, with the help of Gattuso, pinched Rivaldo.

The Brazilian star was clearly trying to make his way on his own, but with Fritz in front and Gattuso on the side, the two pressed him to the touchline, and the closest players to him were Luis Enrique and Sergi from behind, but it was too late to pick him up.

Fritz stared at the ball at Rivaldo's feet,

At this time, the ball was wet, it became heavy and slippery, and it was easy to make mistakes, especially when Rivaldo was worried about the teammates around him.

This time, he fell directly to the grass with the ball!

Fritz stood up as soon as he fell, ignoring his soaked jersey, and passed the ball directly to the middle, and after seeing the referee signal that there was no foul, he immediately rushed along the right side.

The Barcelona fans in the stands burst into a wave of boos, believing that it was a foul and that the referee should award a free-kick to Barca.

But the Barcelona players on the pitch did not dare to be careless, because Kaiserslautern's counterattack came quickly.

Lucio took the ball and suddenly stepped forward, faced with Cocu's interference, and immediately stuffed it to Veron, who passed directly to Denilson.

The Brazilian took the ball with his back and Pep Guardiola behind him, steadied himself and moved the ball to the right after seeing Fritz rushing forward on the right.

Fritz and Sergi were racing at a high speed, and the Germans got up earlier, went straight past Sergi, touched the ball and kicked straight forward, then accelerated to catch up, kicked forward, and caught up again.

Like a gust of wind, Fritz came directly to the right side of Barcelona's penalty area and directly passed a low ball to the front post.

Ruud van Nistelrooy had already appeared in the most critical position, carrying Abelardo behind him with his body, grabbing ahead of the old Dutch goalkeeper Hesper, stretching out his foot and poking the ball into the goal from Hesper's armpit.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL！”

"The ball is in!!"

"Dutch centre-forward Ruud van Nistelrooy's goalmouth stab once again broke Barcelona's goal, it was a very sharp and quick counterattack, Kaiserslautern scored again, 0:2!"

"Barcelona's defense is so leaky, especially in the middle, and although Abelardo has worked hard, he can't stand it alone!"

"Although Barcelona finally won the league championship last season, the 56 goals conceded made them not like league champions at all, and they even ranked 16th in the league in terms of goals conceded, all with a strong attack to finally win the league championship!"

"Barcelona this season did not improve the defense, but introduced offensive players such as Kluivert and Cenden, although it further strengthened the team's attack, but also made the team's defense more unbearable, and this time Barcelona finally tasted the bitter fruit, I believe that all Barcelona fans will not be satisfied with Barcelona in this game."

I believe that if Van Gaal heard this, he would be so angry that he vomited blood, because he had already done the limit of what he could.

Before the season, Nunez was ambitious to win the Champions League this season, taking advantage of the limelight of last season's championship and the advantage of the host of this season's Champions League final to win this title, at that time Van Gaal's first thought was to strengthen the defense, and his hand-picked Reziger and Bogard also came to the team smoothly, but the De Boer brothers failed to do so.

Not only that, Nunez let go of Couto before he got the De Boer brothers, and Nadal is getting older and his form has declined greatly, coupled with Bogard's serious injury, making Barcelona's entire back line unusable.

Despite the last-minute loan signing of Manuel Pellegrino from Argentina, the team's defence became a mess.

"Am I going to have to bear all this?" Van Gaal smiled bitterly, but he felt very uncomfortable...... ）
