792 Number One Criminal
Experience is something that can sometimes be understood not by saying or seeing, but by personal experience.
It's like an adult telling a child that boiling water is hot and can't be touched, but in the eyes of a child, boiling water is bubbling and beautiful, if you just rely on hearing and seeing with your eyes, it is difficult for him to understand why boiling water is hot?
The coaching experience is sometimes the same, it sounds beautiful to say, it looks beautiful, but in reality it is a mess!
I didn't understand it before, but in the two years since he coached Barcelona, Guardiola has become more and more aware of this feeling.
Barcelona's first-team squad of 24 players this season looks like a lot of talent, but in fact it looks like a mess, and a very important reason is the overlapping positions.
The center-back combination that Guardiola trusts this season is Puyol and Pique, to be honest, the only thing he trusts is Puyol, without Puyol, whether it is Pique or Ziglinski, he is not at ease, Marcos has been abandoned by him, Gabriel? Milito has been injured for a long time, and Real Madrid refused to want him because of this, but instead pitted Barcelona.
The introduction of Maxwell this season is to be a substitute for Abidal, but the substitute for the right back, Guardiola has never been found, before the season he thought very beautifully, that is, to let Pique and Ziglinski form a central defender, Puyol and Alves rotated, but in the end he found that the combination of Pique and Ziglinski lost Puyol, nothing.
In the end, it turned out to be a result, when Alves was injured, Barcelona's right side became a big problem, and there was no substitute!
The midfield is a relatively good place for Barcelona, but Yaya? Toure is making a revolution, Keita is more than delicate and not enough, and the combination of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets is the most trusted by Guardiola. There is only one substitute for Cesc Fabregas, who is now also resentful of Pep Guardiola. The performance has not been very good.
Originally the strongest link. Now it has become the most dangerous, I have to say that Guardiola is not to mention Yang Cheng, Ferguson and Mourinho at the grandmaster level in the team. Even with his predecessor, Rijkar Derby, the gap is just as stark.
On the front line. Ibrahimovic has been put in the cold, and Bojan, who was recommended by Cruyff, has a grudge with Pep Guardiola, and has also been abandoned. Thierry Henry and Pedro are two other players that Guardiola has relied on. But there is always a lack of a striker who can occupy the middle, so Guardiola changed the formation and let Messi play the false number 9.
But the problem of the right winger needs to be solved by Iniesta moving closer to the right, Keita plays in the midfield and partners Xavi, but in the game against Real Madrid, it has been completely exposed that this lineup belongs to the kind of chicken ribs that are not loved by fathers and mothers.
Well behaved. This lineup can kill the gods and Buddhas, but it can be a little worse. That's the tragedy.
This match against Atletico Madrid has completely turned into a tea table!
With Alves out injured and Pep Guardiola's creative use of the young left winger Hefren to play at right-back, which was a very strange decision, even the on-site commentators felt unbelievable and didn't understand why he would use a left winger to play right-back. Was it to make Heffren attack like Alves?
But in fact, just four minutes into the opening game, Reyes broke through Heffren on the left side and passed a through ball, Forlan formed a single knife against offside and hit it directly, giving Atletico the lead.
This goal completely stunned Barcelona, especially Pep Guardiola, I believe he may not understand until now, why is this happening? So he didn't adjust at all.
In the 13th minute, it was Reyes who broke through on the left side, Heffren was forced to chase back, Puyol had no choice but to stop Reyes with a foul, and Simao's direct free kick made Atletico Madrid another goal, 2:0. Heffren is a left winger, you might be okay if you let him play right winger, you let him play right back, and without going through any official matches, everyone will wonder if the person who made this decision is in his brain?
With 2 goals down, Barcelona are completely at a disadvantage, and they are at the Calderón Stadium again, Guardiola can't think of any way at all, because it's not just a problem with the right-back, it's even a problem for the whole team.
Atletico Madrid is positioned in a midfield of four, but in reality, Reyes and Simão are higher up on the flanks, but closer to the middle, and they can play both breaking crosses like traditional wings and cutting inside effectively, in this way to take advantage of Barcelona's lone midfielder and Busquets' lack of technical characteristics.
Thiago and Assunção completely limited Xavi and Keita, Keita was never Iniesta, Mali's midfield strength is stronger than technology, and a direct result was Xavi's more passing errors, and Atletico's first goal was Xavi's passing errors, which led to Thiago making accurate predictions and interceptions, and then played an effective counterattack.
Assunsan clings to Keita, the problems of the Malian are vividly exposed, Xavi has lost his contact point, and he is alone!
It is precisely because the midfield is suppressed that it has led to Barcelona's unfavorable situation in the overall situation.
Guardiola also had a headache, his brain was running fast, stepping on the wet grass under his feet, and sighed deeply, "Fuck Atletico!" ”
Vilanova was next to Guardiola, he heard it, and showed a weird smile that he didn't know whether it was sympathy or joy, the leather shoes under his feet were all water stains, which was a sign of Atletico Madrid's watering, plus the climate is so cold now, close to freezing, if there is geothermal heat, it would be better, but the problem is no!
It is conceivable that for a team like Barcelona, which likes to play with the ball at its feet, it is really vomiting blood when encountering this kind of turf!
Originally, Ibrahimovic should be a very good candidate, the ground ball can't go, so he simply has to go high, Ibrahimovic has the advantage of height and air dominance, he can act as a stable fulcrum in the front court of Real Madrid, is a good tactical change, can Guardiola's character, and he and Ibrahimovic are so stiff, almost fighting, is he willing to give in?
In fact, Vilanova was right in his thinking. Even if the team can't open the situation for a long time, even if it's in the second half. Barcelona already have to fight back with all their might. But Pep Guardiola still hasn't replaced Ibrahimovic.
In the end, Barcelona lost 0:2 to Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Calderón and suffered their second heavy defeat of the season!

…………
Barcelona's strongest wing has become a sieve, and Guardiola's lineup is extremely stupid!
The royal road combination is completely ineffective. The number one criminal, Pep Guardiola!
It was the front-page headline of two newspapers close to Barcelona, Le Monde Sport and Daily Sport, who both blamed Pep Guardiola's squad at the Calderón Stadium. and tactical stubbornness, believing that it was Pep Guardiola who led to Barcelona's defeat.
'It's not just a game, we should be seeing. The all-round gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid! ”
"Little Luo is injured. Yang Cheng has Mata; Kaka is wounded, he has Ozil; Harvey? Alonso is injured, he has Granero and de la Red; And even Thiago? Silva is injured, Kompany can also play well, and even Casillas, there is Antonio? A substitute like Adam. ”
"But why. When Alves is injured, do we have to play at right-back with a left winger? And a youngster who has never played in the first team. What is the reason for this? Unlike Barcelona's Waterloo in Calderón, Real Madrid challenged Sales away, with Arbeloa's opener and Ronaldo's brace, Real Madrid defeated Sales 3:0 away, won a key battle, and expanded the points gap between themselves and Barcelona to 6 points!
This made the Barcelona media pessimistic, believing that with Real Madrid's current situation, it may be difficult to continue to compete with Real Madrid in the league, especially after losing to Atletico Madrid in this way.
There are even some extreme fans, when the team returns to Barcelona, who have called for Pep Guardiola to get out of the way and step down, believing that he is not qualified and level to lead Barcelona at all, and he has completely exposed his poor and idealized ignorance at the level of football tactics.
"At the critical moment when he needs to grit his teeth and support the most, he and the team he leads used such a defeat to announce Barcelona's withdrawal from the league title race, which is really disappointing and embarrassing!"
In an interview with the media, Barcelona presidential candidate Rosell took the opportunity to seize the topic and attack Laporta, he believes that Laporta's irresponsible move at the beginning and chose Guardiola, who has no coaching experience, will cause today's results, and he believes that a club like Barcelona should choose the world's top coach.
When asked further by reporters about Rosell's target, he did not hesitate to name Mourinho.
Sadly, Mourinho, who was far away in London, sneered at the first time, "I would never consider coaching Barcelona, they want to invite me? No way, unless I suddenly have a broken brain like some people! ”
After the previous CD-GATE incident, Mourinho can no longer coach Barcelona, Abou also has a lot of trust in Mourinho, and Chelsea's record this season has changed a lot, especially in terms of technical and tactical style, which has given Abou hope again, and he said that he will give Mourinho more confidence.
In media interviews, Abu often mentions Yang Cheng, who feels that the reason why Yang Cheng can succeed is because his club can always give trust and power, so he will also give Mourinho trust and power.
This undoubtedly declared the failure of Rosell's poaching plan, and many people also believe that unless Guardiola can win at least one league and Champions League title this season to maintain his managerial position, he will definitely be out of class in the summer!
In this regard, Yang Cheng and Real Madrid did not give any response, nor did they fall into the ground.
Yang Cheng is not stupid, although Barcelona is demoralized, it can't tolerate provocation by others, what to say at this time will only provoke the anger of Barcelona players in the end, so that they can be unanimous with the outside world, but it is a bad thing.
Therefore, under his constraints, Real Madrid issued a gag order, refused to accept all interviews related to Barcelona, and went to France in a low-key manner to participate in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round.
After Lyon sold Benzema, Juninho Jr. and many other leading stars, their strength has declined a lot, and they have also lost the hegemony of the past few years in Ligue 1, lacking a little competitiveness, and as a result, they lost 0:3 at home in the game against Real Madrid. Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in this match.
With a 3-0 away win over Lyon, Real Madrid's second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu is no longer in doubt. It can be said that the First World War was decided. But just as Real Madrid returned to Spain, a big controversy broke out in Spain.

Copa del Rey final at Camp Nou?
Although there is the scenery of the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, it is difficult to hide the intensity of this news. ..., according to the previous arrangement of the Football Association, the final is considered to be held in three stadiums. They are the Bernabeu, Calderón and Camp Nou, but the two teams that have reached the final are Madrid. The Bernabeu and Calderón are a bit of a misfit.
The Football Association had previously asked the two finalists, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, to negotiate and both proposed to be held at the Camp Nou, citing the best facilities in Spain. The capacity is large enough. And it's a big city, so it's a very desirable location.
"We spoke to Atletico Madrid and we all wanted the final to be played at Camp Nou, which is the best stadium, the ideal venue for the final and the best stadium in Spain to host the Copa del Rey final. I think it's the best to have the Copa del Rey final here! Butragueno made a high-profile statement in an interview.
Originally, there was also a stadium, the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia. However, the stadium had been ruled out of hosting a 20-day festival, and now it is the Camp Nou that is ideally equipped to host the game.
You can't let the Copa del Rey final be played in a stadium with only 20,000 or 30,000 people, can you?
After receiving the proposals from the two clubs, the Spanish Football Federation also replied and began to consult Barcelona's request, but Barcelona gave a stern refusal, believing that this was Real Madrid's intention to target Barcelona.
"They asked for it once in 2004 and we refused, so they could have picked a different venue and this time they could!" A spokesman for FC Barcelona made no concessions.
Pique even publicly said on his Weibo, "It is impossible for us to accept Real Madrid winning the championship at Camp Nou, they are dreaming, and we cannot agree to their request!" ”
But Pique's statement was slammed by a spokesman for Atletico Madrid, "This is a contempt for our team, is it in his eyes that the final is only Real Madrid?" The game hasn't been played yet, anyone has a chance to win the title, and we hope that the Football Association will punish Pique and ask him to apologize for humiliating Atletico Madrid! ”
And Atletico Madrid's attitude is also very tough, "Aside from the Bernabeu, Calderón, Mestalla and other stadiums, the Camp Nou is the most suitable venue for the final, which can attract more fans to watch the game, which is undoubtedly the most ideal, I don't understand why Barcelona just refuse, don't they even have such a little demeanor?" ”
"This is the most ungraceful team I have ever seen, they refused once in 2004 because of Real Madrid, and now they refuse again, I don't know what kind of mentality they have, if they can refuse, then we will refuse all the finals that Barcelona will participate in at the Calderón Stadium in the future!"
Real Madrid President Florentino also showed the temperament of the first aristocratic team in La Liga in an interview, on the one hand, to appease Atletico Madrid, thinking that Atletico Madrid does not need to be angry, do not engage in confrontation, and should be harmonious and calm, on the other hand, to appease Barcelona, saying that it is true that the Camp Nou will be considered when it is impossible to change the venue, and I hope Barcelona will understand.
"The Copa del Rey final will be played in May, and the specific time has not yet been determined, but the club has to carry out a series of operations for this, so the time seems to be relaxed, but it is also very urgent, and the Football Association also has to organize the event, so I don't think there is much time left for Barcelona to think about."
"I'll give Laporta a call in the near future, I hope he understands Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's considerations in this regard, and if Barcelona can reach the Champions League final, we at the Bernabeu will be open to them, and we will definitely not say that because Barcelona are in the Champions League final, we will refuse to host the final, right?"
Florentino's remarks were echoed by all Real Madrid fans, but they provoked a revolt from Barcelona fans, and some Barcelona fans even took to the streets to demand that Laporta refuse the request from Real Madrid and prevent Real Madrid from playing the Copa del Rey final at the Camp Nou. ..., but the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Villar, who was previously known as Barcelona's little godfather, also had to make a judgment this time, first fined Pique, believing that he was suspected of contempt for Atletico Madrid, and at the same time, under pressure from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, said that he would give Barcelona 10 days to think about it, hoping that Barcelona would consider the request to host the Copa del Rey final! ”
Many conspiracy theorists have found out that Villar is not an application this time, but a request, which means that it is a bit of a suspicion of pressure, and Laporta also responded, saying that Barcelona will consider the requirements of the Football Association, and at the same time accept the punishment of Pique, and Barcelona has also fined Pique internally, so that this big mouth is completely blocked.
Yang Cheng said with a smile at the press conference before the match against Villarreal in the 23rd round of the league, "It is an honor for Camp Nou to host a final like the Copa del Rey and something to be proud of, I don't know why they refused? Is it just because of hatred of Real Madrid? ”
"I think this kind of thing is like lining up to greet them, if they don't like it, if they don't like it, if they don't accept it, then forget it, we won't fight, because they are the ones who have lost their face and grace, right?"
"In the same way, if they don't welcome us, then we don't go, we're going to play, we can go to a place where we like to see us play, and we don't have to look at other people's faces, I don't like that!"
Yang Cheng's remarks once again aroused the indignation and resistance of Barcelona fans, who believed that Yang Cheng was a performance of both AA and VV, and a strategy to retreat into advance, and the Barcelona management must not fall for him!
But it is clear that this incident has become a matter of considerable concern in the entire Spanish football world, and even in the world football world!
