Chapter 114 Getafe

Once the club enters the third-line battle, the status of players and coaches will become very tight.

The rhythm of double matches a week made the strings in Rangnick's heart tense.

On the second day after the team returned to Barcelona, ​​he called the players together and started tactical training.

"Our opponent Getafe in the next game is a team with a very strong desire to attack!"

"There are several former Barcelona players in this team, they are old acquaintances of everyone!"

Rangnick glanced at Pique and the others, and Pique and Alba also smiled knowingly.

Players with a slightly older team on the field know that the old acquaintances Rangnick refers to are Carles Alenia and Sandro Ramirez.

In the middle of last season, Alenia was loaned to Getafe by Barcelona for half a season because he had no chance to play.

Because of his good performance, coupled with the fact that Barcelona's psychological price for him is not high.After the end of the season, Getafe chose to spend 500 million euros to buy him out.

For Barcelona, ​​although this deal seems to have lost a lot, fortunately, Barcelona's management is not too stupid.

In Alenia's transfer contract, they retained the buy-back clause and the right to prioritize matching offers.

And if Alenia transfers again, they can also get 50% of the player's future transfer income.

Therefore, for Barcelona, ​​which was eager to cash out at the time, this deal was not bad.

This season, under the leadership of coach Enrique Flores, Getafe has loaned striker Sandro Ramirez from Huesca.

Under his training and guidance, Alenia transformed from a midfielder to a left winger, and Ramirez gradually stabilized the team's right winger.

These two former Barcelona teammates reunited in Getafe and together formed the most offensive wings of Getafe's 4-3-3 formation.

"Coach Rangnick, Alenia and Ramirez don't treat us as old acquaintances!"

"Hahaha!"

Araujo's speech was a bit mischievous, and many players laughed in unison after hearing his words.

In the first meeting between the two teams this season, Barcelona defeated Getafe 2:1 at home.

Getafe's only goal was scored by Ramirez with an assist from Alenia.

It just so happened that in that game, Barcelona's starting double central defender happened to be Araujo and Lenglet.

For the offensive strength of these two former Barcelona players, the young Araujo was very impressed.

Since Rangnick took over the team, the atmosphere of the team has improved a lot.

The players are not only willing to communicate, but also began to dare to speak out their own ideas.

Rangnick was not angry about Araujo's sudden joke, after all, it was a signal that the player began to accept himself.

"So, everyone!"

"Whether it's to prove yourself in front of your old teammates or for the fans who have always supported you, you have to get your spirits up and prepare for this game!"

"Do you understand?"

Seeing Rangnick's serious expression, everyone knew that this was no longer the time to joke around.

"clear!!"

All the players present answered in unison in high tones.

Seeing the players become more energetic, Rangnick also began to allocate today's tactical training.

De Jong, who returned from injury, was arranged to conduct 1-on-1 long pass training with Alba.

In official games, De Jong has many opportunities to get the ball.

As the main offensive point on the left, De Jong makes a long pass to Alba who is going forward to launch a charge, which should become Barcelona's regular offensive method.

Therefore, the passing and running cooperation between these two players requires a lot of training in normal times.

The defensive midfielder Menino is in the same group as the two forwards Depay and Aguero. The three of them need to complete the offense together in the penalty area.

Judging from the two games after Rangnick took over Barcelona, ​​Menino's chances to get the ball are not too few.

So for his position, Rangnick's requirements are a little higher.

Although it is not necessary for Menino to pass a scalpel-like through pass, he still needs to be proficient in basic short passes and offensive options.

As for the striker combination of Depay and Aguero, after a few games, it is already getting better.

But as Barcelona's offensive facade, Rangnick has higher demands on them.

At present, there are fewer and fewer overlapping positions between the two.

Rangnick hopes that on this basis, they can make more flexible substitutions.

Once the two form such a cooperation, for the central defenders marking them, the difficulty of defense will increase exponentially.

For the four central defenders Pique, Lenglet, Araujo and Garcia, Rangnick arranged corner kick offensive and defensive training for them.

For Barcelona, ​​the defense of high-altitude balls has always been a weakness, and this issue must be taken seriously.

To this end, an assistant coach in Rangnick's technical team specially designed a set of training programs.

It's just that the actual effect of the plan may still need to be tested in actual combat.

The team's starting goalkeeper Ter Stegen and Ermenetto, with the cooperation of the goalkeeper coach, are conducting regular agility training and jumping training.

It's quite sad to say, the only thing Barcelona doesn't have to worry about is the goalkeeper position!
Almost every player was arranged for team training, except for Qin Ming, who was taken aside by Rangnick alone.

"Qin! Today I arranged mid-range and long-range shooting training for you. This is your only task today!"

Rangnick looked at Qin Ming and said earnestly.

"Do you know why I arranged it this way?"

Facing Rangnick's question, Qin Ming didn't speak, but shook his head, pretending to be listening attentively.

Since Rangnick took the initiative to ask, it means that he wanted to explain to Qin Ming.

"In the last game, you scored four goals and performed very well!"

"However, as your performance becomes more and more outstanding, the opponent will target you more and more. Regarding this matter, I think we still need to prepare in advance!"

Rangnick patted Qin Ming's shoulder with his left hand, and pointed to the side of the field with his right hand.

Following the direction of his fingers, Qin Ming saw Alba and De Jong who were practicing pass-run coordination.

"I've thought about how Alba's movement on the touchline can help create space in depth when you're heavily defended."

"However, even so, it can only alleviate the defensive pressure you face outside the penalty area. Once you reach the front of the penalty area, our opponents will definitely not let you have free space!"

"So, I think you need to improve your ability to finish outside the box!"
