Chapter 88 The Way to Play Barcelona

Jose Fernandez-Guti, a former Real Madrid superstar and team vice-captain, in November last year, due to dissatisfaction with the team's signings and the newly appointed head coach Mourinho, Guti and Besikta. Sri Lanka canceled the contract and became a free agent, and has not signed with any team until now. Many media believe that Guti will directly choose to retire.

Now seeing Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, the two mortal enemies, both want to win the King's Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium, as the representative star of Real Madrid, Guti expressed his attitude on his Twitter, "The King's Cup final can't be done anyway. Held at the Bernabeu, why can't Real Madrid play the Copa del Rey against Zaragoza at Camp Nou? Why does Real Madrid always make concessions every time? Although we are gentlemen, we have to think about ourselves when necessary. The Bernabeu is ours, of course we decide. Barca and Atletico are delusional!"

There's a reason Guti's stance is so tough.

As early as 2004, Barcelona had refused to provide the Nou Camp for the Copa del Rey final. At that time, the two sides of the game were Real Madrid and Zaragoza. Naturally, Real Madrid could not swallow this breath and came to exchange a courtesy.

It can also be seen that the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona has already extended from the game itself to other aspects.

Afterwards, other Real Madrid stars and celebrities also expressed their opinions and objected to the Bernabeu Stadium being the venue for the Copa del Rey final.

So the Spanish Football Association can only give up.

Then the choice of the venue becomes a problem. The Spanish Football Association issued a statement saying that a meeting will be held in early March to determine the venue. At that time, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid will send representatives to participate in the discussion, which must be another job.

In short, the King's Cup final venue was once again "difficult to give birth".

————

As one of the teams participating in the final, Atletico Madrid has no obligation to take a step back in the discussion of the Copa del Rey final venue, so they also participated in the discussion and strived for the club's interests.

But in fact, the focus of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is not in the Copa del Rey final, because the two teams are about to play against each other.

In the 22nd round of La Liga, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid meet again.

The venue is the Camp Nou.

Before the match against Sevilla, Wansheng had already formulated the game tactics.

The main tactic is naturally the 'B-TF' system, which is the team's most adaptable style of play. With the adaptable style of play, performance can be guaranteed.

The game formation has changed.

Wansheng is going to let the team play 4321. This is the formation the team has adapted to, and it is very focused on defense.

Wansheng emphasizes two points - defense and fast break.

In terms of defense, Wansheng has a lot of arrangements. In the '3' in the 4321 formation, the players on both sides must continue to recover to the position of the side and the back to suppress Barcelona's encroachment on the wing space and form more local The situation where people are surrounded and pressed, and at the same time, it also makes up for the full-backs who are rushing.

This is the top priority of Wansheng's emphasis on defense.

The 4321 formation can also be said to be the five midfielders. When necessary, the five midfielders must be recovered so that the team formation becomes a '5 midfielder' to stabilize the defense at the front of the penalty area, including both sides.

For the middle, it is necessary to use intensive defense to limit Barcelona's core player Messi.

Messi's breakthrough is too threatening!

In the match against Barcelona, ​​Messi must be restricted. Intensive defense is used to limit Messi's breakthroughs, and multiple people are scrambling to limit Messi's personal ability. At the same time, it is also the focus of Wansheng's emphasis on defense. .

In addition, the core defensive player is Morris.

Wansheng needs Morris to contact the back line and the back line. When he returns to the back line, the team will become a formation of three central defenders. If he steps forward, it will become a three back midfielder. The triangle running defense can make Morris. Contact the midfielder and central defender to prevent the first point from being broken through, ensure the interception of the ball behind Barcelona, ​​and limit the overhead passing that Barcelona is good at.

This is only a brief description of defensive tactics.

Wansheng's defensive play is very precise. He has detailed explanations for each player who plays, just to let them know what to do in the game. Each player has a detailed running and defensive line. When encountering a situation and what to do, a detailed list has been made and told to everyone.

Just talking about the defense against Barcelona took more than two hours.

In terms of offense, what Wansheng emphasizes is concentration and speed.

At any time, we must concentrate on attacking with a large number of people, and the speed must be fast, so as not to give Barcelona a chance to counterattack.

With the normal push forward, Wansheng has basically given up.

The team's attacking ability is good, but if it enters the rhythm of "playing against attack", it is too difficult to beat Barcelona.

Although Wansheng is very confident, there is definitely a gap between Atletico Madrid's strength and the current Barcelona. Barcelona is at its peak. This is the case in the league. Sevilla, Valencia, Real Madrid and other teams all lost to Barcelona by a big score. Now it is Atletico Madrid's turn. Even if the first round beat Barcelona by a big score, but now No one dares to say that Atletico Madrid still has a chance.

Yes, I don't even dare to say that there is a chance!

Barcelona has become the 'Cosmic Team', the real 'Cosmic Team'. To beat them, it is impossible to rely on normal play and form. Especially in the games that Barcelona attaches great importance to, it is too difficult, too difficult .

The media is sighing!

Europe is sighing!

Wansheng is also sighing!

Even if he has the football training master system in hand, he dare not say that he can play Barcelona's results, but Barcelona has staged such a brilliant performance in reality.

But even if Barcelona is strong, it is not invincible.

Wansheng's tactical style of play is based on the memory of Real Madrid's play in the 2011 Copa del Rey final.

Without Atletico Madrid involved, Mourinho would lead Real Madrid to the Copa del Rey final, where they beat Barcelona to win the Copa del Rey.

Real Madrid did it 'impossible'.

Because of the "impossible" in the eyes of the media and fans, that final has also become a classic in history.

That was the way Mourinho used to play at that time. Real Madrid constantly emphasized defense, not only 4 backs and 3 midfielders. When necessary, they could change to 5 backs, 4 midfielders, or even 9 backs, and kept defending intensively. Coupled with the occasional fast break, Real Madrid beat Barcelona.

Wan Sheng clearly remembered that match.

So in arranging the lineup, he also borrowed it and made some small adjustments to adapt to the Atlético de Madrid lineup. This kind of 'buses in front of the door' general style of play can really limit Barcelona and strive to 'create a miracle' Victory.

Wansheng has absolute authority in the team.

As early as a week ago, Atlético de Madrid began training this almost "shameless" defensive tactic.

————

As the game approached, the media on both sides also began to hype the game.

The match with Barcelona is the competition for the top spot in the league, and the two sides are direct competitors of the league and the King's Cup, so the war of words must be indispensable.

The two teams played against each other in the third round of the league. Before the game, Wan Sheng said disdainfully about 'Barcelona's revenge', "Are they revenge on me? It's a pity that they are not a Premier League team, otherwise they will be able to shout revenge a few more times. already."

After the game, he said, "In February next year, Barcelona can take revenge again!"

So the Catalan media dare not speak of revenge.

That is simply tantamount to giving the talk to the Madrid media, giving the Madrid media reason to ridicule Barcelona.

The beams on both sides are definitely getting deeper and deeper!

Now Barcelona is stronger than Atletico Madrid. They are not only in good league form, they have broken the historical La Liga winning streak, and are expected to create the highest points in La Liga so far. The Copa del Rey has entered the final. With a record of 5 wins and 1 draw, they entered the round of 16 without any suspense. Barcelona's opponent in the knockout round is Arsenal, but almost no one is optimistic about this Premier League team that has been underperforming in the Champions League.

Barcelona's competitions are so strong, which naturally gives the club and the media confidence.

Two days before the game, Barcelona club president Laporta had already said, "This game will make the Chinese look good!" The gnashing of teeth showed how much he resented Wansheng.

When talking about the 1-5 loss to Atletico Madrid in the last round, Laporta also emphasized, "It was just an accident. I admit that we played badly in the beginning, but it is different now!"

The Barcelona team is also full of confidence.

In addition, the game was played at the Nou Camp, and Barcelona was even more confident. Before the game, various stars and celebrities came forward to challenge Atletico Madrid.

"World Sports News" even directly stood up and fired--

"...The last time the two teams played against each other, Barcelona was not in good form, but as Laporta said, 'it's different now', Atletico Madrid just took advantage of the surprise of the newly restructured team to win For Barcelona, ​​they didn't play Barcelona head-on, it was a vile victory, a stolen victory, not a convincing victory."

"Barcelona is in good shape now, and it has continued to maintain a winning streak so far. The team is full of fighting spirit. At Camp Nou, Barcelona has the belief and reason to win, because of this game, victory is certain. It will belong to Barcelona!"
