Chapter 172: The Man Who Can Restrain Barcelona
Fans in the stands at the Camp Nou cheered for Valdes' save.
And what about the Barcelona players?
Honestly.
They have a feeling of being left behind.
After all, if Ji Ao scored with a header just now.
That's an away goal!
Originally playing at home, the Barcelona players were very confident.
They are the space team after all.
before the game.
The Catalan media also believe that Barcelona wants to reach the final.
The home game must be played well.
No matter how arrogant the Catalan media is, they dare not say that Barcelona can win Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
This first home and then away schedule is not good for Barcelona.
therefore.
If the ball is lost at home.
Then the away game is not easy to play.
At the media table.
The Catalan journalists were also applauding for Valdes' save.
"This save is too critical!"
"Bayern Munich's Long Guo boy is really good!"
"Leo couldn't get past him cleanly."
"Did you find out that his passing line is a bit like Harvey."
"No wonder Pep wants to bring him in!"
"It's okay, the players are not fully in the game! As long as they are in the game, no team can beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp!"
In the media seats, the Catalan journalists are very confident.
In the commentary seat.
After reacting, the Catalan commentator also cheered up the Barcelona players and fans: "Key defense! Such an opportunity cannot be given to the opponent. But now the game has just started, and we still have a lot of time Come score!"
In the narrator's heart.
It is impossible for Barcelona to lose at home anyway, right?
so.
His concern is being conceded on away goals by Bayern Munich.
And this dangerous attack did not go in.
That would be great for Barcelona!
Because it reminds the Barcelona players.
It might piss them off at the same time!
next.
Bayern Munich is about to face the attacking firepower of Barcelona who are playing at home!
Actually.
after the game restarted.
Barcelona's offensive firepower is indeed quite fierce.
The Barcelona players were taken aback by Li Ao's header.
After recovering.
They feel very uncomfortable!!
They want to use their offense at home to prove that they are still the strongest team!!!
They swear.
There will never be a second chance like this for Bayern Munich!!
Barcelona is indeed quite strong.
in their home field.
They also believe that they can defeat all opponents.
But today's situation makes Barcelona feel a little different.
After completing an attack, Bayern Munich shrunk back.
Play defensively and counterattack.
This is quite normal behavior.
most teams.
Even almost all teams can be said.
Coming to the Nou Camp to face Barcelona will adopt a defensive counterattack strategy.
There is nothing surprising about this.
And Barcelona also attacked normally.
Actually.
Inside Barcelona's tactical philosophy.
To attack is to defend.
To defend is to attack.
Attack by
Offensive and defensive integration.
pass the ball.
This is the key to Barcelona's tactical philosophy.
Their football style is most impressive.
That is, they can pass the ball continuously while running, which looks like a meaningless kick.
But this seemingly inadvertent transfer can slowly tear apart the opponent's defense.
In fact, Barcelona has persisted in this set of tactics for almost 30 years.
But why have they been able to explode in the last decade?
the answer is.
They finally found the midfield combination that is most suitable for this set of tactics.
The midfield iron triangle Harvey, Iniesta, Busquez.
There is also the sharp knife Messi!
This is the key to Barcelona's ability to maximize this set of tactics.
Indispensable.
The field control ability of the midfield iron triangle is very important.
But just being able to control it doesn't help.
Because the defender can make up for the loopholes that may qualify by compressing the space and moving collectively.
so.
More key roles have qualified.
That's Messi!
Messi's position is actually not very fixed.
He is sometimes even placed in the center position --- Guardiola likes to use Messi as a center.
At the beginning, Barcelona had a powerful center like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
result.
Messi occupies the center position.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic can either be a substitute, or can only pull the side....
So that Ibrahimovic quickly left Barcelona.
And the reason why Messi is the key.
Of course, it is his powerful ability to break through the line of defense.
Barcelona's passing can create many fleeting defensive weak spots.
Without Messi.
These weak spots are like stone-punched cavities in the lake.
It will quickly fill up with the surrounding water flow.
And with Messi.
He can get the ball in those weak spots.
Then use personal ability to complete a sharp breakthrough.
Disrupt the opponent's defense.
Tear open what might have been a small gap in the line of defense.
Causing the opponent's defense to open!!
It can be seen from this.
In Barcelona's tactical system.
Midfield control.
The striker's ability to break through.
It's all pretty important.
in the past.
Barcelona's players are very fluid when passing each other.
It's like flowing clouds and flowing water.
But today.
This smooth flow seems to be a little hindered.
Mascherano and Arnold pass the ball to Busquets.
Busquets then crosses to find Harvey.
Harvey looked up after receiving the ball.
There was no rush to get the ball out.
Cross leaned forward while observing the opponent, intending to steal the ball.
But Harvey seems to have eyes in the back of his head.
With one turn, Cross was blocked behind him.
Keep the football in front of you.
at the same time.
Cross's tackle also naturally exposed the gap behind him.
Messi immediately appeared in this gap.
Harvey arches a push.
The football appeared precisely at Messi's feet.
This is Xavi's signature way of playing football.
Possession attracts defense.
Create gaps for teammates.
Then use the strong passing ability to pass the ball.
"Messi got the ball!.!"
When Messi catches the ball.
The Catalan commentator couldn't help but raise his voice.
There were bursts of cheers over Camp Nou.
All Barcelona supporters will have high hopes for Messi.
He is the superstar who can single-handedly tear the lead and blast the ball into the opponent's goal!!
After Messi got the ball, Schweinsteiger immediately posted it.
Facing Schweinsteiger's defense.
Messi made a feint to break through to the wing.
Wait until Schweinsteiger's center of gravity changes slightly.
He immediately flicked the ball inward with the outer instep of his right foot, and he jumped up.
After dodging Schweinsteiger's other foot, he took the ball and charged toward the center!!
々Messi broke through the defense!!"
Mark suddenly shouted.
Seeing Messi break through in a straight line.
Bayern Munich's defense responded immediately.
Immediately the two players rushed towards Messi.
Cross on defense.
There is also Li Ao who came from defense.
Cross took the lead.
Kill from the side first.
The whole person ran towards Messi.
The commentators in Catalonia were extremely excited at this time.
He seemed to have seen the scene where Messi went straight to Huanglong to break through Bayern Munich's goal.
"Leo Messi Leo Messi Leo Messi...don't blink at this time! Otherwise..."
During the conversation.
Cross bumped Messi.
But Messi still has a firm grip on football.
But this collision made Messi start again.
Maybe the narrator and the fans in the stands want to see the scene where Messi dribbles the ball and goes straight to Huanglong.
But at this time Messi is very calm.
As the best player in the world.
Of course, he is not the kind of stunned young man who just ignores it when his mind is hot.
It is very inefficient to continue to force a breakthrough in this situation.
Easy to be posted by defensive players and easily fouled.
And now what Barcelona need (is it good) is goals.
at this time.
The best way.
It's to pass the ball!
He has attracted at least three defenders.
Iniesta will definitely be waiting for his pass in an open position somewhere.
Messi didn't look up.
The tacit understanding honed in La Masia allowed him to easily predict Iniesta's running position.
This is a tacit understanding cultivated from playing football together since childhood.
He didn't even look at it.
Just pass the ball to the left!
Numerous games have proved that the pass between Messi and Iniesta.
There is no need to observe the position in advance.
this.
It's tacit understanding!
But this time.
The tacit understanding between him and Iniesta appeared to be a little bit more problematic.
The moment Messi passed the ball.
Iniesta was indeed waiting to catch the ball on this line.
....
on this line.
There is one more person!
Only found out after Messi passed the ball.
Football did not fall at Iniesta's feet.
but between them.
Suddenly a Li Ao appeared!
'How did he know I was going to pass this route?!"
Messi's expression changed.
But this is not the time to be surprised...
because.
Bayern Munich's counterattack is coming!!
