Chinanews client Beijing February 26 (Zhang Yifan) With the help of Griezmann's goal, Barcelona scored 1: 1 in the game that ended in the early hours. As soon as the Champions League knockout started, they were in trouble. From the invincible fleet that made Europe dread the horror, and now every game is "shocked", what did this once dream team experience?
As the dream team that once frightened European football, Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the most dominant teams in the past decade. They have won the Champions League three times in the past 11 years, and La Liga have only dropped three times. This not only brought them countless fans and glory, but also wrote another dynasty chapter in the history of football.
There is no doubt that this former division of kings is not good today. The La Liga and the Champions League stumbled, and the Kings Cup was out early. It is questionable to contact the disgraceful exit of the Champions League in the previous two seasons. Did the dream dynasty of that year really disappear?
The 18-19 season Champions League semi-final was reversed by Liverpool, Barcelona will be difficult to hide.
It has been more than a month since the former coach Valverde was out of class, but Barcelona has not seen much change. Perhaps the new coach Sethian is a coach that fits Barcelona's tactical thinking, but he really can't bring this former king's division back to the forefront in the short term. Perhaps sporadic victory can not cover up the fact that the Red and Blue Legion is getting worse.
For Barcelona, winning all the championships is their goal. It is also the daily mentality of Messi, Chairman Bartomeu and all Barcelona fans every season. But the team's defeat in the Champions League in recent seasons is dissipating fans' confidence. Objectively speaking, relying on the current state of these players, it will be more difficult for this Barcelona to win the Champions League.
Setien will not be satisfied with his Champions League debut. Under his team formation, Barcelona is generally mediocre, relying on insignificant passes, they have no ability to suppress their opponents. Over the past two years, people have blamed Valverde's incompetence on the results of their defeat. Judging from the current results, Valverde is so wronged!
The former Barcelona dominated. The picture shows the 2015 European Super Cup, Barcelona beat Sevilla 5-4. Win the European Super Cup for the fifth time to tie AC Milan.
The ups and downs of the level of competition may not explain anything, but today Barcelona still has more internal and external problems. These factors are intertwined to better explain their current predicament.
According to media reports, Barcelona has hired a public relations company to set up a social media account, which will enhance the reputation of the club's chairman, Bartomeu, and also discredit some Barcelona-related figures, including Messi, Gerard Pique, Harvey and former head coach Pep Guardiola. This also caused uproar.
Regardless of whether the event is true or not, the objective effects of it still make the team exhausted. If the root cause is traced back to the team ’s unsatisfactory performance, fans will frequently blame the club's top management, and Bartomeu will "take the initiative". During an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
Maybe they were sitting on Messi, and no one dared to take them lightly. But modern football, with its individual heroism, is less and less likely to decide the game. Naples is where the predecessor Maradona made the legend, and here he left the footprint of the "King of Balls" to conquer the world. In today's era, the strength of the overall team has long been more important.
Stronger than Messi, he couldn't make the decision alone. The picture shows the evening of October 16, 2019 Beijing time, Messi received the European Golden Boot Award for the 2018-2019 season.
Messi did not shine in the temple of Maradona. As far as this game is concerned, Messi said that Barcelona can't win the Champions League this season for a reason. People have long been accustomed to Messi's "saving the world", but when Messi is in trouble, who can come out to save Messi? No answer is currently available.
In fact, Barcelona has not been the only team with strong dominance in the past ten years, but it has hardly made adjustments to tactics and core personnel. This seems to be the only one.
Real Madrid, after three consecutive Champions League titles, determined to send away 33-year-old Ronaldo. The structure of the lineup is more healthy. They are enough to re-emerge in a short period of time in the future. In another game in the early morning, Bayern defeated Chelsea 3: 0 away. The 13-year Champions League champion seems to have gradually adapted to the departure of Robben and Ribery.
After three consecutive Champions League titles, Real Madrid sent Cristiano Ronaldo away. The picture shows the local time on July 16, 2018, Ronaldo officially appeared at Juventus Club.
Both teams are recent Champions League winners. In other words, these teams far behind Barcelona's rule have gradually completed the transformation and replacement of the lineup. Maybe they have experienced pain, but at the same time they know that the result of self-contained self-destruction is self-destruction.
Barcelona's fantasy dynasty is not ruined overnight, but it will slowly come to an end in the erosion of time. Imagine if they still only wanted to maintain the status quo, maybe the day when Messi left Camp Nou would be the day when the "City of Rome" collapsed. (Finish)
