The Contrasts of the 957 Club

Real Madrid needs to reduce pressure and concentrate on re-finding the team's technical and tactical balance. This is a problem in the technical and tactical system. Barcelona's two-game losing streak seems to be more serious, but in Cruyff's eyes it is just Small problems that are played on the spot are better and easier to solve.

Immediately afterwards, the team's coach Guardiola also came forward to protect the team to avoid greater mental pressure on the players. Before playing in the King's Cup in midweek, Guardiola accepted an interview.

"I take responsibility for failure."

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said so.

In the view of the young coach, after the team has gone through a period of downturn, it is time for him to stand up and speak for the team.

Previously, when Barcelona were on a roll, Guardiola had repeatedly made it clear that the players - not the manager - were the key to the team's success.

Now, Barcelona has performed poorly in several consecutive games. Guardiola does not want to find a scapegoat, but takes the initiative to take responsibility.

At the same time, he also expressed optimism about the team's prospects.

"I think we will be champions," Guardiola said.

"We now have a 2-point lead, and we will expand this advantage in the future. If we fail to win the championship, then I will suffer the consequences and I will congratulate the champion."

After suffering two consecutive defeats, Barcelona is full of pressure from top to bottom.

At this critical moment, Guardiola, who has always been low-key, did not choose to back down, but bravely stepped into the spotlight and played the leading role.

He doesn't want to be as forceful as his master Cruyff - if I lose, you're right.If I win, the truth is on my side—it's about facing reality and fighting the pressure around me.

Coaching players is the first step out of trouble.

"You have to believe me, believe what I say." Guardiola said to the players in the tone of a savior.

"You have done well before, and now you know how to do it. I am not asking you to perform miracles. You just need to do what you have done before. Believe me, there is only one road ahead, and We know how to go this way.”

Guardiola then continued to cheer the players on, saying: "I'm the boss of this team, I'm the leader. You keep following me and we'll get there. I never doubted that. If it happens If anything happens, I will stand up here, and the news media only needs to target me."

It seems that the club did not take all possible measures to protect the team.

On the flight to the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, only 25 fans accompanied the team.

But Guardiola laughed it off, joking: "The plane is full."

In this expedition to Mallorca, Guardiola brought everyone he could bring.Among them are injured players.

Iniesta, who passed a medical on Tuesday, will sit on the bench and be ready to play at any time.

Even the team's medical staff went out with the team, so that there were as many as 40 people in Barcelona.

Guardiola said firmly: "We have worked hard together until now, and we will also work hard together to reach the King's Cup final."

In the face of the siege of journalists, Guardiola said: "I am not as worried as you said. It is your job to write what kind of articles when and where you can word them according to your own ideas, but I want to tell Yours is, I believe in my team. I believe in my players, and I believe in myself. In a word, if I lose, you are the winner; but if I win. Then I am the winner."

At present, Guardiola has not yet decided which goalkeeper will start the game.

Pinto was the main goalkeeper in the previous Copa del Rey, but Valdes, whose confidence was frustrated, also needs to be appeased at this time.

In any case, the choice of goalkeeper aside, Guardiola will go all out in this game, although Barcelona have already achieved a 2-0 lead in the first leg.

Guardiola said: "We will attack, attack, attack and try to win the game in one fell swoop."

"We should get back to the old form in this game, be as ambitious as before. Play aggressive football. I don't ask people to believe in these players, but others will not prevent me from giving them full confidence."

before the game.Real Madrid club president Boruda claims that Real Madrid is actually ahead of Barcelona because Barcelona will definitely lose when they face Real Madrid away.

When a reporter asked about this, Guardiola just said lightly: "He seems to have predicted their result with Liverpool correctly." ——Boruda once boasted before Real Madrid played against Liverpool at home. Madrid will beat Liverpool 3-0 at home, and then "beaten" Liverpool away. As a result, Real Madrid drew Liverpool embarrassingly with 2:2 at home.

"I respect the club president of Real Madrid, but he has no ability to dampen my morale and enthusiasm, even though he is the president of Real Madrid."

Guardiola finally said.

In this period when the La Liga duo have encountered different difficulties, the roles played by other important roles of the two clubs besides players and coaches have formed a huge contrast.

The chairman of Real Madrid, Boruda, seems to have followed Calderon's stink, and he likes to talk nonsense.

Sometimes this will stimulate the team's confidence, and sometimes it will make the players suffer more pressure and add insult to injury from the outside world.

Just like before he said that Real Madrid will beat Liverpool, the result?Slapping himself in the face also made the team feel ashamed. After all, he is the chairman, and what he said made Real Madrid "everyone responsible".

Now the team clearly needs to face the future calmly, keep a low profile, and even strive to be the best of themselves, but he has made a lot of nonsense and judged that Real Madrid will win the future Clasico.

This is simply unreasonable.

Perhaps Boluda only saw a positive change in Real Madrid's numbers in the standings from 6 points behind to 2 points behind after two league rounds.

Instead of taking a closer look at the difficulties encountered by the team in the match between Real Madrid and Liverpool and the Spaniard!

Simply put, Real Madrid's previous set of technical and tactical play is no longer feasible!

Liverpool opened the door and used a textbook game to show the world how to play Real Madrid, and it was the most effective.

The weekend will usher in the Madrid derby, but in the middle of next week Real Madrid will go to Anfield to play a life-and-death battle with Liverpool in the Champions League. (to be continued~^~)
