"Stop making trouble, it's very itchy."
Wearing a pink swimsuit, her wet black hair was casually tied into a ponytail on the back of her head. Yuechi Xun, who was watching an American TV series on a laptop on the coffee table, felt some itching in her calves. She rolled her eyes, bent down and hugged the big orange cat tightly, and looked at Chen Moxiao. Said: "Are you surprised?"
"Actually, it's not bad, but I still have to watch the game first."
Throwing the newspaper aside, Chen Mo stepped out of the swimming pool with his hands on his hands and squeezed directly onto Yuechi Xun's plastic bench.
There is a lot of water.
The concave bench was a little slippery and creaked, and Chen Mo moved close to Yuechi Xun.
It was the end of April, and the weather had turned hot, but after all, Yuechi Xun's thighs were still a little cold because they had just swam, and they felt very comfortable against each other.
Chen Mo crossed his legs, opened another laptop, opened the web page, and clicked on the replay of yesterday's game between Barcelona and Liverpool.
"I was watching the news, and the Barcelona fans are now shouting for Rijkaard to be fired."
Yuechi Xun also crossed his legs, put on his crystal sandals a little bit, stroked the cat, put a soft compress on his cheek and leaned on Chen Mo's shoulder. Hearing this, Chen Mo, who was holding his cheek with one hand, nodded: "Well, this is normal."
"But he has already reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Why do you still scold him in this situation? This result should be pretty good."
Yue Chixun watched the game on the screen with both eyes, and Chen Mo shook his head: "Each team has different investment and different pursuits.
A few of our shareholders are still working on things and don’t invest at all every year, so neither the club nor the fans have high demands. But Barcelona is different. They invest a lot in the transfer market every year. If they don’t win the championship, it means failure. . "
"That makes sense, but haven't you always said that Barcelona is very strong before? Why did a problem suddenly arise?"
"Their staffing is very strong, but there is also a very critical problem, the coaching is not good enough."
"Huh? The coach is not good enough? Are you talking about Mr. Rijkaard?"
"Well, to be precise, it's not that it's not good enough. It's that, even if I say too much, you won't understand. Anyway, you just understand that people who are good at driving sports cars may not necessarily be able to drive aircraft carriers."
Yuechi Xun's big eyes were a little confused. Chen Mo bent his arms over his waist and pinched the soft flesh naturally. He looked at Messi running with the ball on the screen with some emotion in his eyes.
This year Barcelona is indeed very strong in terms of staffing, and its results before March were also very good, but there are also many environmental factors involved.
All the giants in the five major leagues, except Barcelona, are in a turbulent stage this year.
Needless to say about the Premier League, the Chelsea coach and the boss have disagreements, and Manchester United is rebuilding around Ronaldo.
The same goes for Arsenal. Although the offensive end is still strong, the team's very key main right back Maicon switched to Inter Milan. At the same time, the left back Zambrotta, who had always wanted to buy, also refused the invitation and joined the team with a bigger contract and more prospects. of Barcelona.
Since Liverpool lost Irving, they have not had a stable scorer on the front line.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, the team leader, is facing a major overhaul and is preparing to introduce new blood such as Miroslav Klose and Franck Ribery.
In Serie A, Juventus and AC Milan were greatly affected by the Calciopoli incident. The former was directly relegated to Serie B, while the latter saw many agreed-upon signings including "Buffon, Ibrahimovic, Zambrotta" etc. fall through.
Inter Milan is slightly better, but to be honest, that is only compared to other teams in Serie A. Everyone can see that the decline of Serie A is almost inevitable.
In La Liga, Real Madrid president Florentino has just dismissed get out of class, Zidane retired, Ronaldo was purged, and Beckham was replaced by Capello on the bench. It can be said that Real Madrid's current situation is worse than that of Juventus who was relegated to Serie B. Good point.
All the giants in the five major leagues are in a period of intense turmoil this year, and only Barcelona is on the rise.
The forward is Ronaldo Messi Jr., the midfielder is Xavi de Koiniesta, and the back line is Van Bronckhorst, Max, Puyol and Gianluca Zambrotta.
Nearly perfect front, middle and back fronts!
But Barcelona itself is not completely without problems, but the problems are hidden deeper.
In real football, players are not piled together to compare values. Whether the players' characteristics match and whether the coach's tactics are suitable are the key to determining victory or defeat.
There is no conflicting characteristics of players in Barcelona's system. The problem is that Rijkaard's tactical ability is not good.
Rijkaard, nicknamed the Black Swan, was one of the famous Dutch Three Musketeers as a player, but as a coach, his coaching resume is not strong.
Before joining Barcelona, he was the coach of Rotterdam in the Eredivisie. However, in one season, he led the team to only achieve 34 games, 4 wins, 12 draws and 18 losses, which directly brought the team into the relegation zone and was eventually kicked out.
Chen Mo had stayed under him for a period of time and was a pretty good coach personally, but as a coach, his most basic tactical planning ability was not strong.
Rijkaard is not a coach with very clear tactical schools and thorough tactical research like Wenger or Guardiola or Mourinho.
His strength is to discover the characteristics of players and then give them maximum freedom.
Ronaldinho was actually not very well-known before joining Barcelona, mainly because the stupid coach in Paris disliked him for being too stick to the ball.
Let the football wizards touch the ball less, well, I have to say that Paris Saint-Germain is Paris Saint-Germain, and wasting talents is the inherited talent of the club.
But Barcelona's Rijkaard is different. This black swan sees that Ronaldinho has the potential to become a king.
One is a super genius who needs plenty of free space to play well with the ball, and the other is a coach who does not have strong tactical ability, but is very good at understanding and employing people.
The two hit it off right away. In the second season, last year, Barcelona, with Ronaldinho as the absolute core and giving Ronaldinho absolute freedom, swept all the way to the Champions League.
But this year is different.
Messi has risen.
It's not that Messi and Ronaldinho can't coexist. Ronaldinho is actually similar to Ma in terms of personality and playing style. He and Messi can have a chemical reaction.
But football is not played by two people.
Chen Mo has been paying attention to Barcelona's games since the beginning of the season. Xavi Iniesta, two players who grew up with Messi, is fine, but players like Deco and Eto'o who joined halfway are obviously not used to the game. The team changed from single-core to dual-core.
It's not a question of player ability, but a coach's ability.
In single-core mode, the team's tactical play, such as positioning and responding to various requirements, is relatively simple, but now it is dual-core.
To put it simply, it is like a simple linear equation of one variable x+1=3, which becomes a linear equation of two variables (3x+4y=6, 5x-6y=33).
There is no doubt that the linear equation of two variables can solve more things, but it is also more complex and requires a more rigorous derivation process.
This derivation process cannot be taught by the players on their own. The coach needs to lead the team step by step on the tactical board, telling each player when to do things and why they should do these things, and build it up in his head bit by bit. The tactics are transmitted to the players.
Constructible tactics are exactly Rijkaard's shortcoming.
Barcelona is now somewhat fighting on its own, and as the season progresses, other teams have gradually discovered Barcelona's tactical problems and begun to attack their weaknesses.
First, Barcelona was attacked by Huang Qian Villarreal in the Copa del Rey and fell in the semi-finals. Then it began to decline in the league. Although it is still ranked first because of the strong personal strength of the players, everyone can see that now Something is wrong with this Barcelona team.
The key to the problem is to put it bluntly.
Rijkaard doesn't know how to fly an aircraft carrier.
"To put it this way, if Barcelona are eliminated this year, Pep should be in the position soon."
Looking at Barcelona, whose personal abilities are exploding but whose tactics are somewhat awkward, Chen Mo leaned back on the backrest with some expectation and reminiscence in his eyes.
To be honest, he has studied many coaches, but if he only talks about tactical design, the one that gives him the strongest feeling is Guardiola, and there is no doubt that Guardiola is also the most suitable coach for this Barcelona.
Too thin.
The bald melon is too thin.
Unlike Wenger, who sets a framework and then allows players to play freely, and Rijkaard, who has a fixed framework and directly allows players to win based on talent, Guardiola is more like a sophisticated player. Design drawings to play competitions.
When each player should do what he should do, why he should do it, and how to deal with any problems he faces, he would explain it clearly during the tactical arrangement and list several solutions.
This is very suitable for the current Barcelona. Under Guardiola's clear tactics, even if it is a dual-core system, the players will not be confused.
At the same time, passing and controlling football, which requires high pressure from the whole team, is a delicate job that dances on the edge. After all, once the ball is lost, it will be counterattacked immediately. Under Guardiola's precise arrangement, passing and controlling will naturally become more difficult. Mistakes.
"However, let's consider the present first."
It's a bit of a headache. Although I knew that Barcelona had some problems before, Liverpool, which had just introduced Francesco this year, also had serious problems. Chen Mo never thought that Barcelona would be tied by Liverpool at home in the first round.
Now it seems that it is really uncertain who to play in the final.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out his right hand that was resting on Yue Chixun's waist, used the mouse to shrink the window, and then opened a folder with the name [Liverpool] written on it. It was filled with all kinds of information about Liverpool players that Chen Mo recorded every day. material.
"Hey, playing football is not easy. I'm going to make a glass of milk. Do you want it?"
"Well, add more sugar."
