Chapter 640: Barcelona Changes Formation

<"readability-styled" style=":inline;">Reca, the on-site commentator for Guardiola's substitutions, was very surprised, "Why did you replace the forward with a defender at this time? Even if Ibrahimovic is worse, he is worse than Maxwell is more of a threat, right? Besides, Henry is still sitting on the bench? Why not send Henry on? Back then, Henry led Arsenal, who were not as good as Barcelona, ​​to a 5-1 victory over Inter Milan?"

Obviously Reca doesn't know Barcelona very well. Messi's move to the center position was Guardiola's helpless move, because Henry's state and mentality in the last game against the Spaniard were really not good. Last season, Henry won the title with Barcelona. After the Grand Slam, his fighting spirit dropped, and he had the idea of ​​saving his energy to play in the World Cup in South Africa, which made Guardiola very unhappy. Therefore, when he fell behind by 0:2, Henry the Great was still suppressed by Guardiola on the bench.

Henry sat on the bench, looking at the court for a while, whispering something to Ibrahimovic for a while, and didn't seem to care much about the situation on the court.

Although Ibrahimovic did nothing under the marking of Lucio and Samuel, as one of the best centers in the world, Ibrahimovic is still very intimidating. After Ibrahimovic came off the field, although Messi withstood the center forward's position, but Inter Milan's mentality is relaxed. Although Messi once defeated Real Madrid 6:2 as a guest center, Lucio and Samuel both felt that Real Madrid was unprepared. Messi, who is 1.69 meters tall, can What kind of center forward? Therefore, Lucio and Samuel still defended normally and did not pay any attention.

Obviously, a genius like Messi is a huge threat in any position. Although he is not a center like Ibrahimovic or Drogba, it is very dangerous to let him get close to the goal.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Xavi separated the sides and Pedro crossed to Messi in the middle.

Lucio quickly grabbed the ball and prevented Messi from getting the ball.

If it was Ibrahimovic who was standing in Messi's position, there would be nothing wrong with Lucio's approach. Even if Lucio was passed and Samuel was there to help defend, it is Messi now.

The ball was passed horizontally, and Messi leaned to the right, seemingly extending his foot to stop the ball. When Lucio intercepted the ball to the right, Messi suddenly let the ball pass and broke through Lucio from the left.

Nowadays, Inter Milan's two central defenders, Lucio and Samuel, work very well together. When Lucio was passed by, Samuel had already arrived and made a decisive tackle.

If it were another player, he would have to adjust his focus after passing Lucio, but Messi was so agile that he seemed to predict that Samuel was coming to tackle him, flicking the ball and passing him again. Muel rushed into the penalty area. Lucio had just turned around at this moment, and it was too late for the defense.

All the Inter Milan fans were stunned. They finally saw Messi's amazing breakthrough ability. The two central defenders were in their own positions but could not stop him.

Cesar did not act as a spectator. When Samuel was broken through, he rushed out to block Messi's shooting space.

Cesar's save was very smart. He did not attack the ball at Messi's feet, because Messi did not have much angle and space to shoot, nor did he have time to adjust. Lucio had already caught up behind him.

However, Messi is Messi. In a very small area, he changed the direction of the ball again, passed goalkeeper Cesar, and shot from a small angle close to the baseline.

The angle was too small, and Messi shot again in a hurry. He didn't grasp it so accurately, and the ball flew close to the goal line and flew out of the baseline.

The Inter Milan people didn't dare to breathe when Messi received the ball and broke through. It wasn't until the ball flew out of the baseline that the fans gasped and screamed in the stands.

Guardiola on the sidelines clenched his fists and kept secretly saying yes, yes. When he saw the ball flying out of the baseline, he held his head and turned around in regret.

Mourinho was so nervous that he couldn't help but step into the stadium. When he saw the ball going out of the baseline and Inter Milan's goal kick, he immediately shouted at Lucio and Samuel, "Don't be so defensive about Messi! He Not Ibrahimovic! Blocked,

Don’t rush in blindly! "

But a player like Messi cannot break through you unless you grab him. In the 65th minute of the game, Xavi suddenly made a pass. Messi seemed to be following the direction of the ball and breaking through into the penalty area, but Messi stopped the ball. down.

Lucio didn't dare to give Messi space to shoot and quickly pressed up, but at this time Messi started. He changed directions twice in a row to get rid of Lucio, pretended to shoot and passed Samuel, but this Motta appeared in time and poked the ball out from behind.

Under Messi's continuous breakthroughs, Inter Milan's back line was tight, and the double midfielders Motta and Cambiasso had to separate one person to assist the two central defenders in defending Messi.

Messi involves three players alone, and Xavi gets a lot of room for movement. His passing is even more terrifying than Messi's breakthrough. Under Xavi's organization and dispatch, Barcelona's two wings DeRo and Maxwell got three consecutive shooting opportunities, but due to Inter Milan's crowd tactics, neither of them was able to hit the goal.

Gao Xiaodong quickly realized the seriousness of the defensive problem. He immediately withdrew from the attacking midfielder position and directly marked Harvey, preventing Harvey from receiving the ball.

Gao Xiaodong has the skills of a defensive midfielder and the awareness of an attacking midfielder. His judgment of the ball path is very accurate and he is extremely fast. With him next to Xavi, no one in Barcelona dares to pass the ball to Xavi from a long distance. The chances of getting the ball are greatly reduced.

Xavi was frozen by Gao Xiaodong, and Messi was surrounded by two central defenders and a midfielder. Pedro and Maxwell were both players who did not create offensive opportunities. The offense could only rely on the pressure and assists of Pique and Alves.

With Gao Xiaodong in the middle, a very fast attacking midfielder, Pique did not dare to press easily, so Alves almost became Barcelona's right winger. He constantly provided assists and quickly returned to defense when Inter Milan counterattacked. , the entire right wing has almost become his corridor.

Seeing Alves, who is both good at offense and defense, commentators from various countries said that Alves' performance today was no worse than that of his national team teammate Maicon, and that playing as a substitute in the Brazilian team was really a bit of an inconvenience.

However, Mourinho on the sidelines has been sneering, blocking Messi and freezing Xavi. His purpose is to force Alves to assist. The main goal of Inter Milan's counterattack today is the space after Alves' assist. Ned was sent to the left wing position to catch Alves in the open.

Of course, Mourinho's premise for arranging this tactic is that Barcelona's midfielder Iniesta cannot play. If Iniesta is here, with Xiaobai's breakthrough and creativity, Alves does not need to assist so much. It is difficult for Inter Milan to take advantage of Alves' gap.

The only thing that surprised Mourinho was that Messi actually played center, and the center position left Lucio and Samuel full of flaws, which forced Gao Xiaodong to retreat significantly to mark Xavi. Inter Milan The offensive power of the frontcourt is greatly reduced, otherwise Barcelona's defense would have been beaten into a sieve long ago.

In fact, Barcelona coach Guardiola is not stupid. He also knows that Alves is a double-edged sword, but he has no choice. Barcelona does not have a third person on the field who can break the deadlock. There is one on the bench. But Henry doesn't even want to take the initiative to fight now, and Guardiola doesn't want to send Henry unless he has to.
