The King of Football
Riquelme Proud

2003, late February, Barcelona, Spain.

Leaving the league and focusing on the Champions League, Barcelona has now dropped to ninth place in La Liga.This season in history, Barcelona finally failed to enter the top four.

The result is not good, Barcelona are also full of contradictions, and now they can only rely on the Champions League fig leaf to cover their current ugliness.

The current head coach of Barcelona, Antic, also knows that he will definitely not be able to stay at Barcelona in the summer, so now Antic is doing his best and abiding by destiny. As for the conflict within the Barcelona team? It's not that Antic won't take care of it, but how does he take care of it?

The Dutch help this season is the only thing Barcelona can count on. Whether it was Cocu, Overmars, Kluivert or Frank de Boer, they all tried their best to give the game their full potential...

However, local Barcelona players also need to be in the top spot. Unfortunately, sometimes managing a team is like leading an army. About Antic's talent, if the Barcelona boss can give him enough confidence, he believes in him. He can manage the Barcelona interior well.

But what does Barcelona's top management do to trust Antic now? The team did not perform well in the league, even if it was dumped by Real Madrid by more than ten points, but look, now Barcelona have dropped to ninth in the league!

In the last N seasons, Barcelona were not so sad for a very long time.

Antic is only in charge of tactical arrangements now. Conflict in the team? If the players want to make trouble, they can leave, and if they want to oppose, they can oppose, that's what the next Barcelona coach has to do.

At Barcelona's training ground, the players who had just lost to Valencia in the last round were slightly disappointed. Now they don't know about the Barcelona players in the league. Maybe only the Champions League can give them the motivation to fight. ?

“Roman, come here.” There are still two weeks before the Champions League quarter-finals with Bayern, and Antic also starts to set up a game with Bayern.

In Antic's view, Riquelme, who once had a record showdown with Leon Weir in the A-League, will be a key figure in Bayern's game - now everyone can see that pass, dribble, and Leon Weir's defence has made new changes for Bayern. .

This fresh change also made Bayern's style very different from the past, they no longer relied on two wingers to make headers, but started mastering the game to lock in a win. And the variety of tactics Bayern need not doubt, the type of counter-attack they played against Manchester United is really like an Italian team.

According to Antic, Barcelona must prepare to face two Bayern, one Bayern against Manchester United, and Bayern who play control football in the league.

Antic feels Barcelona may not have the strength of Manchester United to scare Bayern, then Antic is ready to face Bayern second - mastering football and using frontcourt players to keep pushing forward to end the game.

Success depends on two points, tacit cooperation between the players and the core of the midfield is stable and keeps going.

Is this a secret collaboration? Bayern's lineup has been going on for a long time. Schweinsteiger was initially trained by their own youth training. In fact, Bayern's starting lineup this season has not changed significantly compared to previous seasons, except Leon.

The core of the midfield that keeps running? The terrible statistics about the new world footballer Leon Weir were written by Italian "Sky Sports" last week, that is, his average run per game reached a frightening 11,000 kilometers! Such data, even those players who claimed to be immortal were hard to achieve, right? But Leonville did.

The average number of passes per game has reached around 87, the success rate has reached an astounding 95%, and at least three threatening passes are sent per game... The essence of such a midfield, Leon Weir It is simply a machine that has run non-stop, opening up space for other Bayern players and bringing the potential of other Bayern players to the limit!

As for Leonwell's personal abilities? He averages only dribbles twice per game.Although such statistics are dazzling in the Bundesliga, in La Liga.

In Antic's view, the scariest thing about new world footballer Leon Weir is not his free-kicks, assists and world waves, but his relentless running and passing!

"If he plays the attacking midfield position comfortably, he can score more goals and make more assists, but he doesn't, but this is also the scariest part of him ... Because his role is to be able to drive fully. teammates around him. Almost like Beckenbauer and Redondo back then..." Although the team's performance wasn't good, Antic is definitely not bad, and he could be the head coach of La Liga duo Real Madrid and Barcelona. , who doesn't 'have a little bit of truth?

Antic also feels a little sorry now, because last summer, Barcelona had been chasing Leon Weir, he said, and even Cruyff has more than once advanced to say that Barcelona's number 10 was prepared for Leon Weir.

"The Guard Is Here"

Seeing Riquelme walking towards him, Antic also shook his head. Riquelme is the type of player who needs a team to adapt tactics for him. In Riquelme's tactical environment he can play at his highest level.

It was impossible for Barcelona to adapt tactics for Riquelme, so Barcelona and Riquelme looked out of tune, which also left Riquelme now bogged down as a parallel importer.

However, Leonwell is the type of person who does not need a team to adapt tactics for himself.In Antic's view, Leonwell can be integrated into any tactic and maximize the potential of that tactic. It's probably the scariest thing about Leonwell, he doesn't need to make tactics for him, but over time, you'll find that the whole team will play with his rhythm.

If Leon Weir had really joined Barcelona last summer, could the current Barcelona be a different scene?

Harvey is too young, oh, Leon is also very young, but the younger Leon has shown that Harvey is even stronger. Maybe in a few years, Xavi could be one of the best midfielders in the world, but Antic thinks that maybe Leon Weir won't even know how many times he won the World Player of the Year award.

No wonder Franz Beckenbauer loved it... A player who can integrate into any team and lift the entire team to one level, his individual ability is not his strongest point, the strongest is the improvement of the team effect.

River Plate, Argentina and now Bayern again.

Just as Antic was thinking of something, Riquelme approached him, "Head coach, what can I do for you?"

Antic glanced at Riquelme: "Roman, as you know, I have now started preparing for the Champions League knockout tie against Bayern. You have a record of playing against Leon Weir when you are in the AFC, and so do you. We're one of the few players in our team who knows him well, and I'm curious, how do you think we're going to limit Leon Weir?"

Leonville! It's Lionville again! Riquelme was furious when she said that name!

Who was Ajia's first genius? It's Riquelme! Who was the first player Barcelona saw? That's Riquelme too! Leon Weir was born out of nowhere, stealing the attention of fans and the media. Even Barcelona who had been chasing him back after Leon Weir.

Riquelme always felt he had the strength to enter Argentina at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. He believes it was Leon Weir who stole his place in the national team, even the World Cup champion, Riquel May thought he was the one who had to lift the World Cup trophy!

Why, why Leonville again! Why are people paying so much attention to her, but ignoring me?

Now, Leon Weir again, the core of Bayern Munich. Riquelme, who wears Barcelona's No 10 jersey, hates him. Catalan media called it a parallel importer. Riquelme is not without power, but the club is not willing to use it as a core to build tactics... Riquelme's style is too slow, Barcelona's attacking rhythm is fast, Riquelme often can't keep up, his passing and dribbling in the A-League is fundamental here...

What about Leon? This guy actually went to Germany for 40 million pounds. At first, when the German media referred to Leon as a parallel importer, Riquelme was thrilled: Look, your hypocritical power has finally come to light, right?

However, Leon Weir's appearance exceeded everyone's expectations. He led Bayern forward, he became the core of Bayern, he became the youngest European footballer, he said, and he becomes Sir's youngest world footballer - Riquelme's heart grows increasingly impatient as Leonville breaks one world record after another.

Riquelme wanted to perform, he wanted to overtake Leon Weir, but the more he thought about it, the worse he was on the pitch.

Gradually, Riquelme found that even Xavi, who came from Barcelona's own youth training, outperformed him, the club had lost patience with him, and Riquelme sat on the bench he never thought he would. ...

This feeling, this sense, almost made Riquelme despair.

"I'm not a defensive head coach, that's what they have to do. As for Leon Weir, I passed him a lot when I was in AJ. "Riquelme's tone of voice was filled with pride, It's a kind of pride that never submits to anyone.

That is the strength and weakness of Riquelme.

Without this pride, was she still Riquelme? Or a classic front waist?

Antic looked at the arrogant Riquelme, and he frowned deeply, "Romain, the current Leonwell is not the Leonwell from a year ago, his progress is beyond our imagination."

“But even so, head coach, I sure can beat him!” riquelme said confidently.

Antic shook his head: "I hope so." He did not continue the chat with Riquelme, and Antic felt that he might have to find another way to deal with Bayern. Riquelme.
