super storm

Chapter 1422
After experiencing the Nou Camp tragedy, Barcelona once again ushered in the Paris tragedy.

For a time, the entire football world was shocked, and all the media and fans were exclaiming the decline of Barcelona.

What is the reason that led to such a drastic landslide in Barcelona?

With a superstar combination of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar in the frontcourt, why did this team suffer such a disastrous defeat in the Champions League round of [-]?
L'Equipe even believes that if it weren't for the outstanding performance of German goalkeeper Ter Stegen, the score would be far more than four to zero, and Barcelona may even repeat the previous zero-to-seven defeat at the Camp Nou in Paris.

In the post-match player reviews, among the [-]-point scores, only Ter Stegen scored six points for Barcelona, ​​and all other players failed. The worst players were Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Andre Gomez and Alba. These five players all scored two points, showing extremely poor performance.

Head coach Enrique once again encountered fierce criticism. Even when Barcelona returned to Barcelona from Paris overnight, some Barcelona fans rushed to the airport to demonstrate and demanded that Enrique resign and apologize.

Not only the media and fans, but even Barcelona's coach Enrique has been questioned. Local players such as Pique and Busquets have questioned the coach's formation, thinking that the team should have played more proactively.

At the post-match press conference, Enrique still believed that the team still had a chance to come back.

The premise is that Barcelona players must significantly improve their status.

……

On the second day of the game, Real Madrid's Valdebebasne was also discussing the game between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

The strength gap between the two teams cannot be so big, and even Paris Saint-Germain is not so strong. The only explanation is that Barcelona played really badly in this game, so badly.

After the training session, Yang Yang appeared in the coaching staff's office. Everyone took advantage of the break time to watch the video of the game, and at the same time, everyone also got David Bertoni's data analysis.

This is a normal state of Real Madrid, because no one knows whether Real Madrid's next opponent will be one of the two teams.

Moreover, Barcelona is also Real Madrid's opponent in the Copa del Rey final.

"It can be seen that Emery still borrowed from our previous tactics at Camp Nou in this game, storming Barcelona's right flank, attracting defensive attention, and then raiding the left flank. Draxler and Lucas Moura performed very well. This is Paris Saint-Germain's four-goal victory over Barcelona's tactics."

"In the final analysis, it is obvious that the Barcelona players have physical problems and they can't run anymore."

This is a very serious problem.

As we all know, football is about running and passing. If you can't run, you can only be slaughtered.

Modern football, especially the trend of football development in the past few years, puts a lot of emphasis on running.

In the current era of holistic football, only running can create opportunities, but what Barcelona lacks now is running.

In Camp Nou before, the reason why Barcelona lost [-]-[-] in the century derby against Real Madrid was also because of their lack of movement.

"During the Derby of the Century last year, Barcelona had just experienced a week of double matches and the national team. Now, they are still playing a week of double matches. The team lineup is too thin, which causes their players to consume more than other teams. All players are unwilling to run when they are on the field. This is a big problem."

In the past two weeks, Barcelona slammed Atletico Madrid in two rounds, followed by a [-]-[-] home victory over Athletic Bilbao, and then a [-]-[-] away victory over Alaves.

Barcelona's lineup is relatively thin. The main lineup looks luxurious, but in fact it lacks the thickness of the bench. The defense is also full of problems, and the midfield is not as good as before.

"Messi was completely lost in this game. There was only one shot in the whole game, and he didn't touch the ball once in the opponent's penalty area. He didn't create even a single chance in the whole game. On the contrary, he made frequent mistakes and was intercepted by the opponent [-] times. This can be said to be a very bad performance."

Everyone in the coaching staff's office is a professional, and they will not add insult to injury to Barcelona's disastrous defeat like the outside media or fans. They will analyze the game more from a professional standpoint and perspective.

In the professional league, who dares to say that he will not lose?Won't fail miserably?
"I think it would be irresponsible to shift all the responsibility for this fiasco to Luis Enrique." Yang Yang also spoke, but he was defending Enrique.

Although he doesn't like the Barcelona coach very much, it is true.

"Yes." Zidane nodded and sighed, "If Enrique is dismissed like this, Barcelona's problem will still not be solved, because their most serious problem now is the lineup, which looks luxurious, but in fact has many problems, top-heavy, and aging is particularly serious."

"Iniesta is 33 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo is 31 years old, and Pique is also [-] years old. Apart from the front trident, what else can Barcelona do?"

Zidane's doubts are not without reason, because in many cases, as long as the team loses, the head coach has to take the blame.

The team, the media, the fans, and even the players all hope that the head coach will take the blame.

The reason is simple, firing the head coach is the lowest cost.

But looking at it from another perspective, Enrique has no way to make Barcelona have a solid bench thickness for rotation, so the media and fans accused him of refusing to rotate, is it reasonable?

Any style of play, any football concept is based on the hard work of eleven players running and passing the ball. If the players can't run, no matter how beautiful the style of play or how advanced the concept is, it will be useless.

The biggest problem for Barcelona in the past few years is that the team has piled up the frontcourt in a panic-like manner, from transfer fees to salary structures, all of which have been piled up in the frontcourt.

Did Barcelona spend less money?
Quite a lot, last summer spent 2000 million euros, but have the players brought in played a role?

Kind of, but not up to expectations.

In the end, a lot of money was spent, but Enrique still used the main lineup to survive.

Mathieu, Umtiti, Turan, André Gomez, Digne, Rafinha, Vidal...

All of these players are worth a lot, but none of them played outside expectations in Barcelona.

Yang Yang felt that the wisdom of Real Madrid's management could be seen at this time. Florentino had predicted the situation early, so he made preparations in advance and started in advance to create a strong lineup and a solid bench for Real Madrid.

It can be said that without an excellent bench lineup, it is impossible for Real Madrid to achieve the Grand Slam for three consecutive seasons.

Even, according to the current trend, Real Madrid is still very hopeful to continue to hit the Triple Crown this season.

At least in the face of such Barcelona, ​​whether it is La Liga or the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid are confident.

Of course, it's not that Barcelona doesn't want to sign in, but that there is really no suitable candidate.

Barcelona also knew the problem of the right back, so they also wanted to strengthen the right during the winter break, but they chose to choose, but they never chose a satisfactory one. In the end, what Barcelona wanted was the captain of Shakhtar Donetsk, the 35-year-old Croatian right back Dario Srna.

This is very puzzling.

If the 35-year-old Dario Srna can meet the requirements of Barcelona, ​​why let Alves free transfer in the first place?

But in the end, the deal was unsuccessful, because the captain of Shakhtar Donetsk asked for the same annual salary as the current one, but everyone knows that Srna has played for Shakhtar Donetsk for many years, and the annual salary is very high, which is something Barcelona cannot satisfy.

In the end, the deal fell through.

Thinking of this level, Yang Yang suddenly thought of that sentence, the outcome of a football game often depends on something other than the game.

Real Madrid's current situation is overwhelming. The players and coaching staff are of course indispensable, but the management is also crucial, and Barcelona's fiasco is definitely not just a problem with the players and coaching staff. Barcelona's management is also full of problems.

With the current situation of Barcelona, ​​even if Guardiola is changed to coach, it is estimated that it will still end in a disastrous defeat.

No way, Guardiola is not a god, and it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. He suffered from the pain of not having a ball-holding midfielder in Manchester City. Now he is willing to come to take over the mess of Barcelona?
After watching the Barcelona game, both Yang Yang and Zidane looked at each other in unison, seeing the smiles in each other's eyes, and they were somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, Kanter was introduced last summer and De Bruyne was retained, which ensured the strength of the team's midfield to the greatest extent. Coupled with the back line and the thickness of the front bench, Real Madrid's three lines are still well-organized and strong.

There is nothing anyone can do if he really gets to Enrique's step.

……

"Suddenly I felt some sympathy for Enrique." Yang Yang said with a wry smile.

After hearing this, everyone felt sympathy.

Yang Yang is not really sympathizing with Enrique, but sympathizing with all the coaches who are blamed.

In many cases, the head coach is just the blame man for the various contradictions and problems of the team, not the real problem.

But throughout the ages, how many head coaches failed to get the recognition and affirmation they deserved because they were blamed, and some even stopped their coaching career because of this.

But this is the professional league, cruel and cold-blooded, full of crises and challenges.

This is true of professional players, and so is the head coach.

It takes more than individual effort to survive, or even rise, in this world, because football has never been an individual sport.

This is why Yang Yang always said that his achievements are inseparable from the team.
