1142 Barcelona's Fatal Murder

On the evening of March 23, at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.

When the referee Marenko blew the whistle to start the game, Barcelona, ​​who took the lead in kicking off, quickly passed the ball back.

Amidst the voices of more than 85,000 Bernabéu fans in the audience, Real Madrid slowly unfolded their formation, ready to welcome Barcelona.

Standing in front of the home team's coaching bench, Gao Shen, dressed in a neat Chiton suit, became the focus of the audience and even the live TV cameras, but at this moment he was concentrating on studying Barcelona's starting tactics.

Changes!

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Defense: Alba, Pique, Thiago Motta and Alves.

Midfield: Fabregas, Busquets and Xavi.

Forwards: Iniesta, Messi and Neymar.

This is the current starting lineup and player positions of Barcelona, ​​and many positions are beyond expectations.

Before the game, when he got Barcelona's starting lineup, Gao Shen still guessed that the midfielder should be the iron triangle combination of Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets, which is the main force of Barcelona.

Fabregas is in the center, Neymar is on the left, and Messi is on the right. This is also the tactic that Barcelona played against Real Madrid before.

But in the competition, Gao Shen discovered that this was not the case at all.

Iniesta was pushed to the left forward position, Messi still occupied the center, and Neymar actually changed from the left to the right.

The midfield is a combination of Fabregas and Xavi.

This is a bit unexpected.

Gao Shen really did not expect that Martino would suddenly change the team's tactics before such a big battle.

It is worth noting that although Iniesta is said to play as a left winger, in fact, his position is very flexible, he often retreats, and leans towards the center, which actually forms a four midfielder.

What Barcelona is best at is to form a local numerical advantage in such a small area, and then pass and receive the ball through the players to penetrate the opponent's defense. Therefore, for Barcelona, ​​it does not seem that Iniesta goes to the center bloated.

But after Iniesta ran away, the left side was not vacant, and Alba often went forward.

Just two minutes into the game, Alba asked for the ball when he went forward.

When Cesc Fabregas has the ball in midfield,

He didn't come over in time, but wanted to find Messi, but Ramos took the first step to break the ball and instigated a counterattack.

But after Gao Shen saw it, he couldn't help but frowned, and immediately walked to the sidelines.

"Daniel."

Real Madrid attacked from left to right, and right back Daniel Carvajal happened to be on Gao Shen's side.

"Boss." Carvajal clung to the right line when he heard the high-pitched shout.

The front ball was lost, and Real Madrid's entire formation was retreating. Carvajal retreated while listening to Gao Shen's words, while Gao Shen followed him all the way to the baseline, reminding him constantly he.

"Pay attention to Iniesta's position, don't follow him all the time, you were too close to the middle just now, the entire left side was vacant, did you notice? Alba has already come up, no one guards against him!"

This is also caused by Di Maria's return defense not being timely enough.

But Carvajal's position just now was indeed too close to the center, causing Real Madrid's entire defensive formation to tilt to the left side, leaving the right side completely empty.

In fact, if Cesc Fabregas scored the ball and passed it to the left side to find Alba, the Barcelona left back could go directly to the left side of the penalty area and pass the ball.

This is a threat.

"I will ask Di Maria to pay more attention, but you have to pay attention to your position, don't follow blindly, we still have a midfielder who will make up, you have to pay attention to maintaining the width of the formation, especially against the left side. Side, pay more attention, cheer up!"

At the end, Gao Shen applauded vigorously to cheer for Carvajal.

"Understood, boss!"

Carvajal raised his right hand and ran back quickly.

Barcelona's offense has come over.

Standing on the edge of the command area, Gao Shen looked back and saw that Di Maria was also returning to defense. He immediately walked over and called to Di Maria to retreat more. Live in Alba.

"You have to pay more attention to protect the right side." Gao Shen shouted.

Di Maria nodded, indicating that she had received it.

In this advanced tactical system, Di Maria has never been a standard winger, or a reverse-footed winger.

He is more like an all-around wide player, who can even actively retreat and launch an attack with a long pass with his left foot.

In fact, Di Maria retreated back, Modric moved forward, and the Argentine made a diagonal pass with his left foot to find Ronaldo and Benzema. This has always been a very important offensive channel for Real Madrid.

Even, the Argentine can switch positions to the left and open a breakthrough from the left.

Cross transposition, which is also a good skill for Real Madrid's trident.

Sometimes there will even be a scene where Ronaldo, Di Maria and Marcelo are on the same wing.

Tonight, there is one adjustment in Real Madrid's lineup, and that is the injury of Toni Kroos.

Gao Shen did not arrange for him to play, but let Pogba go up.

But he really didn't expect that Martino would change his lineup, and he would even come up with such a weird set of tactics.

Real Madrid's trident, Barcelona's Messi and Neymar, these are all stars with decisive abilities.

In this kind of strong dialogue, what Barcelona is best at is to penetrate Real Madrid's defensive formation through small-scale cooperation, and their passing and possession advantages.

The advantages that Real Madrid are best at are speed and efficiency, as well as height.

"Help me pay attention to Thiago Motta, I feel that he is not very excited tonight." Gao Shen walked back to the coach of the home team and told his analyst Carlos Vargas.

Barcelona's full-backs have almost the same virtue as Real Madrid, and they are basically used as wingers.

Alves is a winger among wingers.

If Thiago Motta's condition is not good, then Gao Shen must attack this side and completely crush Barcelona's right.

While Gao Shen was talking with his assistants, Barcelona suddenly took the ball from the outside of Real Madrid's penalty area, Messi took the ball, and suddenly sent a diagonal pass, just as Gao Shen expected, Messi suddenly passed the ball diagonally On the right side of Real Madrid's penalty area.

It wasn't Alba, but Iniesta who jumped forward.

Gao Shen became nervous immediately on the sidelines, rushed to the sidelines, and called Carvajal.

In fact, there is no need for Gao Shen to shout at all, Carvajal himself has already realized the problem, especially after Gao Shen reminded him just now, he was a little bit more careful, but he was still a little slow.

After Iniesta stopped Messi's pass, he kicked directly to the goal.

Carvajal flew up and slid the whole body, which was enough to block Iniesta's shot from the bottom line, and even almost turned into an own goal. The scene was extremely embarrassing and dangerous.

"Daniel, where is your goal? I told you, don't get too close to the middle!" Gao Shen shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Carvajal grabbed Courtois's hand, got up from the grass, and raised his hand towards the coach apologetically, feeling the anger from Gao Shen.

He had been reminded once just now, but Iniesta was still missed.

This is the strength of Barcelona.

They are able to suddenly pass a deadly killing intent in this kind of fast, overwhelming passing.

When Messi got the ball, Ramos and Pepe were both attracted. Carvajal wanted to protect Pepe's side, so he stood a little closer to the middle. As a result, Iniesta didn't know when he suddenly stepped forward. plugged in.

Di Maria pinned Alba in front, and it was too late to catch up with Iniesta.

Fortunately, Carvajal was reminded by Gao Shen, otherwise the ball would have been lost.

"Hey, kid, cheer up and keep an eye on me!" Gao Shen shouted.

Pepe also turned around and looked at Carvajal, "Don't worry about us, he won't get past me so easily."

After speaking, Pepe showed a confident smile.

He knew that Carvajal leaned over just now to protect him, but if this caused Carvajal to lose his position, then it was unnecessary.

Naturally, Barcelona's corner kick could not pose a threat to Real Madrid, Courtois abandoned the goal and picked the ball off.

Gao Shen walked to the sidelines again and signaled the Real Madrid players to press up to increase the pressure of the frontcourt.

Midfield, directly across the center line, press up!

Gao Shen gave instructions to Xavi Alonso and Modric.

Before the game, Gao Shen's original arrangement was to concentrate his troops to deploy defenses near the center line, and Benzema still pinched Busquets. This is Gao Shen's tried-and-tested tactic against Barcelona in the past few years.

But Martino adjusted his tactics tonight and made a lot of adjustments.

For example Neymar went to the right.

Sanchez, the No. 2 scorer in the Barcelona team, did not start, but let Iniesta play on the left.

And everyone knows that Iniesta lacks speed. Although Alba has speed, Di Maria is holding it back.

Marcelo needs to be more careful with Neymar, but the pressure on the right side can be increased.

What's more, Gao Shen also realized that Barcelona should not be allowed to organize and pass the ball outside his penalty area in this way, otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee that Barcelona's stars would not suddenly create murderous intentions.

So, your best bet is to keep them away from the threat area.

The biggest advantage of a mature team is that it can quickly understand the head coach's tactical intentions and adjust on the court in the shortest possible time.

When Gao Shen asked the players to press up and increase the pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, Real Madrid's players quickly understood, and led by the Trident, they took the initiative to put pressure on Barcelona's defense.

This is obviously different from Real Madrid's tactics after the opening.

Especially in the thirteenth minute, Real Madrid quickly formed the first wave of counterattack in the frontcourt.

Di Maria and Benzema were on the left side of Barcelona's penalty area, posing a threat to Alba and Pique, forcing Pique to pass back to goalkeeper Valdes, but Di Maria still faced Valdes and Pique in the frontcourt build up pressure.

Pique couldn't bear Di Maria's interference, and he wanted to pass the ball to Harvey, who was 30 meters ahead, but was blocked by Modric first.

But the ball was quickly snatched back by Barcelona.

Just when Barcelona passed the ball continuously and wanted to pass the ball to Iniesta again, Carvajal also chased Iniesta all the way, and advanced to the outside of the right corner of Barcelona's penalty area. When facing the baseline to catch the ball, suddenly kick the ball from behind.

The entire Bernabéu stadium suddenly sounded overwhelming cheers.

Real Madrid completed a very threatening frontcourt steal.
