Rijkaard saw this. He did not know why Li Ang dared to deploy such an aggressive lineup in the away game. Because, while being aggressive, it also meant that it was more risky. It meant that there might be more gaps and loopholes in the rear defensive line.
Although Rijkaard did not understand why Li Ang was so risky in the away game, he was sure of one thing: Inter Milan's aggressive tactics were a gamble. This was an opportunity that he could take advantage of.
Rijkaard asked Barcelona to play with the same aggressiveness today. At the same time, he asked the whole team to attack the middle. Now it seemed that his decision to attack the middle was the right one.
Rijkaard was very confident in Barcelona's attacking ability. He wanted the Inter Milan team's defensive line to collapse as long as Barcelona continued to put pressure on them!
Rijkaard then gestured to the players, indicating that the players did a good job. They should continue to put pressure on Inter Milan and continue to attack the middle!
If Rijkaard had to find an attack point for his strong attack in the middle, it would be Carlos!
A tired Carlos would definitely not be able to stop Barcelona's iron hooves!
*****
Rijkaard thought that Juan Carlos could be a breakthrough point that Barcelona could use in this game, but the game had been playing for nearly half an hour and he found that he was wrong.
He thought that Carlos might be in a bad state, but in fact, that was not the case.
Barcelona's attack, after encountering Carlos, was like a turbulent tide encountering a cliff by the sea. It fell apart in an instant!
"How is that possible?" Rijkaard frowned.
He thought that this only showed that Barcelona's offense was not strong enough. The team only needed to continue to attack the middle and they would definitely be able to tear this point apart!
Just a little bit!
A little bit to cover the whole!
Then Inter Milan's defensive line would collapse!
This is Barcelona's attack!
Harvey ran into trouble in the midfield. He wanted to quickly send the ball out, but Diego Milito's interference made him lose the best chance to send the ball out. At this time, Carlos also came over. He had no choice but to pass the football to Marcos behind him. Barcelona launched a strong offensive. Marcos, the center back, rushed up. He was more like a defensive midfielder than a center back.
*****
Marcos took the ball and dribbled two steps forward. Then he was disturbed by Mata and could only continue to pass the football back.
As soon as Zambrotta took the ball, Mata came up. The former could only quickly pass the ball and the football was passed to Harvey.
This time, Harvey showed his ability as a top midfielder.
When he received the ball, he thought about what he was going to do next. He pulled the ball, turned around, and passed the football out at the same time!
Henry took the ball.
He dribbled two steps forward, attracted Montari's attention, and suddenly passed the ball.
Messi received the ball and was about to dribble when he saw Carlos's face. The two men collided. As they fell to the ground, the football was poked out by Carlos.
The referee, Stark, whistled.
However, it was not a whistle for a foul by Carlos, but for a foul by Yayaturay!
The football that Carlos poked out was received by Montari. The latter was about to dribble the ball to launch a counterattack, but he was tackled to the ground by Yayaturay.
"Montari fell to the ground in pain. Next to him, Carlos and Messi also fell to the ground."
"It was a fierce confrontation. Both sides kicked and sparks flew."
"The referee, Stark, thinks that Yayaturay fouled."
*****
The referee's decision caused the Barcelona players to collectively protest. They certainly did not think that Yayaturay fouled. If there was a foul, it should be Carlos who fouled Messi just now.
In the face of the Barcelona players who surrounded him again, Stark finally could not bear it.
"Yellow card! Stark shows a yellow card to the protesting Yayaturay! "
"This is the first yellow card of the game today!"
Li Ang almost laughed out loud on the sidelines. Barcelona's players surrounded the referee for the third time and finally angered the German referee.
Rijkaard looked very angry. He thought that the referee was biased towards the visiting team, Inter Milan. Yayaturay's foul did not constitute a yellow card at all.
"The referee's yellow card is not so much because of Yayaturay's foul, but because he is dissatisfied with the repeated protests of the Barcelona players." Lineker gloated.
Although he used to play for Barcelona and liked the team very much, over the years, the Premier League teams had suffered a lot in their clashes with Barcelona. In particular, the referee's bias towards Barcelona in some games had long aroused the disgust of the English people. Now, he was being punished, wasn't he?
"The referee's enforcement should be said to be more fair. In fact, to some extent, he is slightly biased towards the home team. For example, Carlos's reasonable tackle was whistled for a foul!" Eddie Gray said, "Barcelona likes to surround the referee. This is not a good habit!"
*****
Rijkaard's angry protest was warned by the fourth official. He resentfully returned to the technical area.
He was thinking.
Just now, Carlos's successful defense against Messi and Carlos's previous performance surprised Rijkaard. It seemed that the Inter Milan midfielder was not affected by physical exhaustion. No, to be exact, it seemed that he did not show any signs of exhaustion?!
Barcelona attacked the middle according to Rijkaard's previous arrangement, but it did not work at all. Juan Carlos's state did not seem to be affected by the fatigue of the journey or his personal affairs. It could even be said that his performance was quite outstanding. The young Spanish national player ran tirelessly in the middle. He made excellent judgments and blocked positions, as well as very decisive and excellent precision steals. He used his strong body to reasonably collide, or chose a reasonable and not bad foul at the very appropriate time to stop Barcelona's attack. At the same time, he also avoided a card. All of this showed that the player was in excellent form today!
This was not right!
Rijkaard had analyzed Carlos's possible game state in depth. He was sure that Carlos would be very tired today, which would definitely affect the player's state in the game. But now, it was clearly not the case.
Or was this a smokescreen?
Carlos did not stay in Milan to accompany the birth. Instead, he secretly came to Barcelona in advance. Was this all a tactical deception by Inter Milan?!
Rijkaard subconsciously looked at Inter Milan's technical area. Was this all a smokescreen made up by this guy?!
However, Rijkaard then expelled this absurd idea from his mind because the media also reported that Carlos had appeared in the hospital in Milan to accompany the birth. There were even photos of Carlos appearing at the hospital entrance. This was obviously true!
But how could Carlos's outstanding performance be explained?!
This was not scientific!
