Rijkaard stood in front of the visiting team's coach, trembling slightly.
It was clearly May, but for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart.
In the game at Sevil in the south, Real Madrid already took the lead.
Rijkaard didn't have time to find out why Real Madrid were ahead. The only thing he wao do now was to lead Bara to beat Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames Stadium.
This would ehat Bar?a would wile!
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if the team fell at the feet of Real Madrid in the final round.
Therefore, he must win this game!
But Athletic Bilbao was still too tenacious, especially at their home ground.
At the San Mames Stadium, Athletic Bilbao had ceded just 17 goals so far this season, fourth in La Liga.
The Basque Lions have always beeenacious at home.
Fag su oppo, Bara did not start to stabilize its position until the seventh minute. After ten minutes, Bara began to exert pressure and unched a wave of offensives, respectively in the fourteenth, fifteenth, aeenth mihey created three shots, but none were able to get past La Fuente's goal.
Athletic Bilbao also clearly saw Bara's problems, suppressing Bara's midfield, especially Deco.
Ronaldinho kept his strength, but Giuly was very active on the right, creating opportunities with Belletti in a row.
Eto'o was also aiming to scoals, but unfortunately, he seemed to have fotten t his shooting boots retly.
In this way, time ehe twenty-minute mark.
Bar?a's offensive slowed down a little, and Athletic Bilbao became active again.
Never uimate the will of the Basque Lions, even to the st minute.
Rijkaard gritted his teeth, a little embarrassed.
He was starting tret not pying Xavi or Ia.
The three-man midfield of Deco, Thiago Motta, and Van Bommel was not ideal in terms of possession, especially with Athletic Bilbao's interference, and the turnovers were a bit too many, f Ronaldinho to e back often to help.
But this also affected the atta the frontcourt.
Damn, they should have been more cautious and brought in Xavi or Ia earlier to trol the game.
Just as Rijkaard this, he heard a burst of Athletic Bilbao fans shouting from the stands.
"Two to zero! Two to zero!"
Rijkaard didn't hear it clearly at first, but the cries of the home team's fans became more and more trated. He turned around in shock to find the assistant nodding at him from the dugout.
Real Madrid scored again!
He suddenly felt like he was in an ice celr.
What happened?
Are Real Madrid s tonight?
It's only 20 minutes into the game, why did they scain?
The fans of the home team obviously received the news and deliberately shouted out from the stands to disturb the Bara pyers.
"Damn bastard!" Rijkaard cursed angrily.
Turning around and walking back, he went straight to the coach's bench. The Dut asked, "What's going on?"
"Ronaldo, Ronaldo scored."
He cursed angrily, feeling like he wao colpse.
Wasn't Real Madrid forfeiting this game?
Didn't Gao Shen keep his strength to py the Champions League final?
Why did they score so quickly?
They even scored two goals in one breath!
This is killing me!
Iands, Athletic Bilbao fans were still shouting, and the more they shouted, the more vigorous they were, which made Rijkaard furious.
But och, Bara's pyers were obviously in a hurry.

At the Pizjuan Stadium, Gao Shen jumped up with excitement, and after nding, he rushed out of the visiting coach's and area, so quickly that the fourth official didn't have time to stop him.
Gao Shen waved his hands with great excitement, shouting like crazy, and hugged the Real Madrid pyers who rushed out of the stadium to celebrate, especially Ronaldo.
The Brazilian Rabbit Man who scored the goal saw Gao Shen and immediately hugged him with a smile.
"Well done! Beautifully done, Ronnie!" Gao Shen shouted in Ronaldo's ear.
It was a very sudden and quick terattack.
Sevil were still trying to attack Real Madrid's left from the right, but after Arbeloa tackled Alves' pass with the cooperation of Pablo Garcia, Helguera quickly made a big kick, sending it to the left of the front.
Felipe went straight to the left side of Sevil's defense li the fastest speed. After getting the ball, he formed a terattad broke into the left side of the penalty area.
This shot was very decisive; the ball was fast, and the angle was very tricky.
But goalkeeper Palop still saved the ball, but failed to hold it a go.
Ronaldo, who had already rushed in front of the goalkeeper, reacted the fastest. He took the lead, passed Palop, who stood up to save the ball, and then volleyed the empty goal, sg another for Real Madrid, 2-0!
The entire sg process, from stealing to terattack, took less than ten seds, which was very fast.
And this was also due to Alves pressing too high when Sevil attacked from the right.

After Gao Shen and the Real Madrid pyers celebrated the goal, he was seriously warned by the fourth official and brought back to the and area.
The referee ran out of the court and showed Gao Shen a yellow card, warning him not to rush out of the and area again.
"Although we uand your mood at this moment, don't make me embarrassed, okay?"
Gao Shen smiled and raised his hands, indig that he would try to trol himself.
You 't tie yourself to the post on the coach's bench, you?
What's that like?
If not, it would really be like tying someoo a post...
Anyway, try to trol it!
The referee had never met a head coach as young as Gao Shen, and he uood that young people get too excited, so he didn't embarrass him too much, just gave him a yellow card a back.
"Fernando, Lorenzo."
Gao Shen came to the coach's bench of the visiting team. Although he was shown a yellow card, he was still smiling.
"Let's say it first, if we scain, you have to hold me, otherwise, I will be sent off with a red card."
Both Lucas and Bueura couldn't help ughing.
The manager was sent off with a red card? That was fresh enough.
Uedly, Maqueda was also happy when he heard it.
"It's okay, you were sent off, I act as the head coach."
Gao Shen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the eager expression of the assistant coach.
't you just hold back?
"José, you are too bck hearted. It's the st round, so you haven't given up yet?" Gao Shen burst out ughing.
Maqueda had a look that said, "You're right," but also smiled.
In fact, everyone khat this was a joke.
But if the head coach were sent off with a red card, Maqueda would indeed act as the head coach.
Ag? That's also the head coach!
The whole team khat Maqueda had an obsession with Real Madrid's coag position.
Leading 2-0, Bara still 0-0, the situation was very good.
Real Madrid's mood was high on the coag bench, and even the pyers on the field were boosted and pying more vigorously.
Gao Shen did not fet to walk to the sidelines, indig that they must stabilize their positions no matter what and guard their own goal.
Now, no matter what the result of Bara's side, Real Madrid 't trol it.
Keep the two-goal advao the end first, that is the king's way!

Gao Shen's formation in this game really strangled Sevil's seven inches.
Especially freezing Sevil's right fnk with Alves and Navas.
Most of Sevil's offearted from the right, and Alves had locked the right back of the La Liga season's best team in advance.
Although the award hadn't been givehere was basically no suspense.
It showed how good Alves' performance was.
And Gao Shehe bination of Felipe and Arbeloa to suppress Sevil's right fnk, and thehe midfield to suppress Sevil, ensuring that the home team's best offensive routine couldn't be pyed.
After a misfire on the right, Sevil's offense couldn't work anymore.
Arbeloa was arranged on the left to py, and the Brazilian pyer was also quite capable of attag, but the bination of ho and Beckham on Real Madrid's right was both offensive and defensive, forcibly suppressing Sevil's left.
If the game tinued like this, Gao Shen was fident he could win against his oppo.
The only suspense was the battle at San Mames Stadium.
Athletic Bilbao could have a long night; don't disgrace the name of the Basque Lion, even if they couldn't beat Bara at home, at least hold them to a draw.
While anding the team, Gao Shen indicated that everyone should focus on stability ahe two-goal advantage, using terattacks as a means. Oher hand, he frequently looked back at Lucas, wanting to get updates from San Mames Stadium.
But he never received any news.
Of course, no news was the best news in itself.
Because, this meant that the two sides were still zero to zero.
Better to have no news for the entire game.
He also believed that tonight was not just about him, not just about Real Madrid, not just about Bara. In Spain, in Europe, and all over the world, there would be tless fans eagerly waiting for tonight's result.
Time passed very slowly, with every minute and every sed stretg out endlessly.
This was the first time Gao Shen had experiehis kind of suffering that felt like a year.
What was Rijkaard thinking at this moment?
He had pyed football for so many years and had extensive coag experience. He should have beeo this situation by now, and he should be more adept at handling it, right?
The more critical the moment, the calmer you should be. This was something Rijkaard's mentor, Sacchi, taught him.
If Bara could keep their posure and patiently grind it out with Athletic Bilbao, given their strength, they still had a good ce of winning.
Gao Shen was an atheist, but at this moment, he really wished for the existence of the so-called Tathagata Buddha or the Jade Emperor. But thehought, if they did exist, he would make a wish to the Tathagata Buddha and the Jade Emperor, and Rijkaard would make a wish to God. What then?
Would we want them to fight it out and see whose wish would e true?
The thought made Gao Shen ugh.
But at this moment, Lucas, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly jumped up.
