Win or lose!

  pared with Real Madrid's triumphaurn uhe world's attention, Bara's return from Bilbao was full of bleakness, and both the media and fans took a low-key approach.

  The day, the major media in Catalonia were rep the news of Real Madrid's reversal of the championship. This was the most iioday. At the same time, many media, including the Daily Sports and World Sports, were refleg on Bara's loss of the championship.

  Many media believe that Rijkaard's final round, against Athletic Bilbao, had problems with the formation of troops.

  After Xavi came back from injury, he pyed secutive games, and his performance was also remarkable. Why couldn't he py?

  At the critical moment, Real Madrid showed the determination and ce to win the championship, while Rijkaard's formation was full of cowardid hesitation. This is what the media and fans believe is the key to Bara losing the championship.

  The media was full of accusations against Rijkaard, but also against Ronaldinho ao'o.

  Eto'o hasn't scored in several games, Ronaldinho's ret performance has not been very good, and both seem to be tained, which is not a good sign.

  Especially for the uping Champions League final.

  With the question raised by the World Sports News: "We have sent all the champago celebrate the championship to Paris. If we 't win the championship, what will happen to the bottle of champagne?"

  Even the Daily Sports News, with a slower tone, believes that the team should refle the problem of losing the league championship.

  From a ten-poio the final three-point reversal to win the championship, this proves that Barust have problems. So, where is the problem? How to solve it?

  There are also media reports that during the halftime of the game against Athletic Bilbao, head coach Rijkaard and assistant coach Ten cate had a heated spat on the sidelines, which led to Ten Cate staying on the field throughout the halftime break without returning to the locker room, which is unusual.

  Many people know that Ten cate is going to leave at the end of this season, but at this critical moment, two people who should have cooperated sincerely had such a fierce flict, which has to be w.

  And all, the spear points to Rijkaard.

  Why?

  Rijkaard did not make any excuses from beginning to end, and he did not even give interviews to media reporters.

  In the m, after training sessions, he shut himself in his office.

  And st night, he didn't sleep all night.

  It be seen from the bloodshot eyes in his eyes.

  Very tired, he wao sleep, but... couldn't sleep.

  ...

  The award ceremony at the Bernabeu was being broadcast live on TV.

  Rijkaard slumped expressionlessly on the sofa, watg silently.

  The championship trophy that appeared oV s should have beloo him and Bara.

  The award ceremony was supposed to be held at the Camp Nou, but now, all is gone.

  Even his right-hand man had to leave him.

  He actually regretted being angry with Ten Cate because for many things, based on the cooperative retionship betweewo, he couldn't tell the reason at all, such as Tenkat's bombardment of Roselle.

  It was true that Rijkaard did not agree to this matter, but Rijkaard was still very happy when Ten Cate bombarded Roselle, because he had already seen Roselle as unfortable and wao teach him a lesson for a long time.

  But Ten Cate did this, and it did cause a lot of trouble.

  Fortunately, Roselle left ter.

  There are also things like Tenkat's overriding, which is too much, but it is also Rijkaard's tacit approval.

  It's just that sometimes, Rijkaard also thinks that Ten Cate manages more than his head coach, and even sometimes, even his head coaeeds to manage and interfere.

  This is how the tradi arises.

  Rijkaard regretted it a little, but he wouldn't apologize, much less admit he was wrong.

  OV, Real Madrid's pyers were celebrating with the La Liga trophy in their arms, and the se was very lively.

  Rijkaard's eyes were very astri. I don't know if it was because of sadness or because he didn't sleep st night. Anyway, his eyes were very astri and unfortable, but his heart was on fire.

  He doesn't care what others say, but he knows in his heart that he personally sent away the La Liga champion that should belong to Bara!

  If it weren't for him, this championship must belong to Bara!

  Now, he knows why Ten cate insists that they must win La Liga.

  Because after winning La Liga, Real Madrid's morale was boosted, and Bara was hit hard.

  It's not that Rijkaard didn't think about this, but at the time he felt that his team was uo lose the championship, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But now, the championship is really lost, and the sequences are really ing to light.

  How to do?

  From st night's San Mames Stadium to today's Gamper Sports City, Bara is waiting for Rijkaard to give an answer.

  Ten cate, the guy who is always in the limelight and makes up his mind, has asked for leave today.

  Even without Rijkaard's approval.

  What to do , Rijkaard only decide for himself.

  ...

  Just after the lunch break, when the coag staff of Bara came to the office, they saw Rijkaard appearing in front of everyoh a pair of big panda eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and his curly hair seemed to have suddenly turned a lot whiter.

  Yes, despite his dark skin, he was very visible.

  This startled everyone.

  "A special training session is scheduled this afternoon."

  Rijkaard's voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was caused by getting angry or being too dry.

  "Let both Messi and Xavi participate iraining of the main team."

  Bara's coaches were taken aback. Is this to make them all start?

  Messi has just e back from injury and hasn't pyed a game yet. he do it?

  But before the coag staff asked questions, Rijkaard had poio one of the assistants, "You go to the team doctor to talk about Messi's situation, you tell him, I need Messi to py this Champions League final for me!"

  Rijkaard's tone was not a sultation, but an order.

  "Also, our raining should focus on strengthening the attack. I will destroy Real Madrid at the Stade de France!"

  After speaking, Rijkaard turned a.

  Everyone in the coach's office was dumbfounded, uo believe what they were seeing.

  Is this the suave Rijkaard they were familiar with?

  God, is he being driven crazy by pressure?

  When fag Athletic Bilbao, the lineup was servative, which caused the team to fail. Now, in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, does he want to fight?

  Isn't this going from oreme to the other?

  Shouldn't he be disced at this time?

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, but suddenly found that the person who always raised a bar with Rijkaard on weekdays, and even dared to fight in front of the gong, has asked for leave today.

  How to do?

  Everyone you look at me, I look at you, and finally came to a result.

  Just do it!

  We are all just coaches.

  ...

  No one knows what is going on in Bara's Gamper Sports City.

  It was as if no one knew what training Real Madrid's Valdebebas was doing.

  Everything is kept secret from the outside world.

  The two teams only had a two-day rest after returning to the team after pying the final round of La Liga away.

  The Champions League final was on Wednesday night, and Real Madrid had fiheir training session on Tuesday m before taking a chartered flight to Paris after lunch, all in a hotel oskirts of Paris.

  Real Madrid has a dedicated scout to track Bara's every move.

  Oppos arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport a little ter than Real Madrid, after which they headed straight to their hotel in Versailles.

  Both teams have made the same choice, which is to keep training where they are as much as possible.

  This is not surprising, because in Paris, tless cameras are aimed at the two teams. This kind of training ot have any effect. It is better to stay at the training base and close it.

  Acc to information obtained by Real Madrid's scouts, Bara focused on shooting a-piece tacti the st two days of training.

  There is also another hy pce, that is, after Bara's defeat in Bilbao, Rijkaard arranged Messi into the main team iraining session on the sed day of returning to Gamper Sports City.

  Messi has been training with the main team ever since.

  This is also a very clear signal.

  Bara are likely to start Messi.

  When Gao Shen got the news, his whole head hurt.

  Ronaldinho, Eto'o, and Messi, such a trident be blocked?

  Another point is that Gao Shen clude that Rijkaard will definitely adopt mgressive tactics.

  The reason is also very simple. He broke down in La Liga and must face Real Madrid with a mgressive momentum. He may even attack first to scoals, and then make up for the loss in La Liga.

  In this way, it is uandable that he gambled heavily on Messi.

  In midfield, Deco's partner is either Xavi or Ia.

  Of course, Gao Shen has not been idle these two days. He has been adjusting the team's defense, especially against Bara's offense.

  In the face of such a Bara, there is not much that Gao Shen do, but he only defend.

  After the team arrived in Paris, they took a lunch break at the hotel and theo the Stade de Frao familiarize themselves with the venue acc to UEFA's arra. This was also Real Madrid's st official training session before the game the following night.

  The training was still led by Maqueda and Bueura, with Gao Shen mostly from the sidelines.

  Given the presenany media reporters and fans, it ublic training session with s.

  Real Madrid practiced sur set-pieces and shooting drills.

  What articurly noticeable was Gao Shen's special arra for penalty kick training.

  This caught the media's attention.

  It was easy to interpret that Gao Shen's iion might be to py defensively and potentially drag the game into a penalty shootout.

  With Bara likely dominating possession and attag, Real Madrid's focus on defense and the possibility of a penalty shootout after a draw seemed pusible.

  Especially sidering that under Gao Shen's leadership, Real Madrid had bee known for their servative and oo-zero approach.
