Eight Hundred and Fortieth He Is Too Fast!

With Robben's first goal, Manchester City tried to grab another wave, but this time Barcelona learned to behave.

Seeing that there was no chance, and Barcelona gradually stabilized their position and controlled the game, Gao Shen signaled that the team began to retreat.

Barcelona gradually took control of the game.

I have to admit that Barcelona's ability to pass and control the ball is really very good. The players pass and receive the ball skillfully and tacitly with each other, like magic, intertwined back and forth non-stop.

As an opponent, facing such a team, it is impossible to chase the ball.

The result of doing that is that you exhaust yourself to death, not only can't grab the ball, but you will also be pulled by Barcelona, ​​creating a gap, and being blown away by the opponent in one fell swoop.

In the past, there have been many similar cases to prove this point.

The tactics adopted by Gao Shen are different. He takes the initiative to apply pressure, but always maintains a rigorous overall formation. The players cooperate with each other and never compete with Barcelona for the ball. They just keep moving the overall formation. .

As Gao Shen has always emphasized, in the face of Barcelona, ​​as long as they maintain a rigorous defensive formation and put enough pressure on the opponent, no matter how much Barcelona has possession of the ball, it will not help.

At the same time, it is necessary to find the right way for Barcelona to attack.

After gradually taking control of the game, Barcelona tried hard to try to incorporate the game into the rhythm that they are best at.

But Manchester City is not as good as they want.

City put pressure on them whenever they had the chance, forcing Basara to play fast and counter-attack as soon as they got the ball.

As Gao Shen expected, Barcelona actually wanted to break through from the middle and two ribs.

The front trident of Sanchez, Aguero and Messi frequently crossed positions, and even Sanchez played as a striker.

But Manchester City was unmoved. No matter who played what position, Manchester City stuck to the middle and flanks.

Javi Martinez often retreats near the penalty area, even on the same level as the central defender, while Yaya Toure and Rakitic can actively return to the defense line to protect.

Gareth Bale, Robben, even Suarez, all actively dropped back to defend.

This allowed Barcelona to have a high possession rate, but the offense has never been able to open, let alone a threatening offense.

Manchester City's defense is very different from the passive, iron barrel defense.

For example this time at eighteen minutes.

Barcelona tried to attack Manchester City's hinterland from the right side of the penalty area, but as soon as the ball passed, David Luiz, who was robbed in time, cleared the ball and kicked it out before Aguero.

The ball flew far and landed in the frontcourt.

Suarez withdrew to the bottom left of the middle circle of his own half, judged the landing point, got stuck, and wanted to grab the first landing point, but Pique caught up from behind and jumped directly on Suarez , headed back.

The Uruguayan center forward is really depressed.

If he had been a bit of a thief just now and walked away, Pique would definitely fall to pieces.

Even, injury is possible.

The central defender of Barcelona is really outrageous. Do you really think that he is still the best in the world on the court?

This kind of character will suffer a lot sooner or later.

It can be said so, but after the ball was pushed back by Pique, it fell to the left side of the top of the arc in Manchester City's penalty area.

Both Aguero and Messi rushed over to grab it at the first time, but Yaya Toure was one step faster. Relying on his height and strength advantages, he forced his position and grabbed the first spot. He stopped the ball with his chest down.

In this regard, Barcelona players are really at a disadvantage.

But Barcelona also has its own set of tricks, which is close combat.

Xavi, Aguero and Messi flanked Yaya Toure at the same time, trying to trap the Ivorian and intercept the ball.

Stealing in this position can form a goal at any time.

Of course Yaya Toure also knew that he immediately covered the ball with his foot, and took a peek at an opportunity to take it to the left.

To the wing, the defensive pressure will be so great.

The little moves of Aguero and Messi interfered with Yaya Toure. Harvey saw an opportunity and suddenly kicked the ball to the left line.

Felipe grabbed the ball decisively and stopped the ball.

But as soon as the ball stopped, Harvey had already rushed forward.

The two fought again, and Felipe tried to pass the ball back to Yaya Touré, but was blocked by Xavi.

The ball was bounced high and fell to the left wing.

Gareth Bale retreated and used his body to support Alves who was following up. Facing the falling ball, he directly headed the ball behind Harvey, a small empty area in the middle.

Busquets didn't dare to press too far forward, Xavi chased the ball, causing a small gap between him and Iniesta.

Rakitic took the first step, stopped the ball, and stabbed it to Suarez in front. After avoiding Iniesta, he ran to the gap.

Behind Suarez is Busquets, knowingly knocking back to find Rakitic.

The Croatian midfielder had already freed his hands at this time. He glanced ahead and found that Gareth Bale in front was already in place.

Rakitic made a long pass without thinking.

Almost at the moment when Rakitic made a long pass, Gareth Bale forcibly overtook from the outside of the left side at lightning speed, and after throwing away Alves, he rushed forward all the way.

"City took a chance after the chaos in midfield and Gareth Bale countered quickly!"

"He's too fast!"

"My God, Gareth Bale..."

"No one can catch him!!!"

When Gareth Bale rushed behind Barcelona's defense, there was no one in the entire Barcelona half.

There was a lone Valdez standing in front of him.

The Welshman didn't hesitate at all, he could see that Alves, Pique and Puyol were all chasing back quickly, but they were not as fast as him!

For his own speed, Gareth Bell has absolute confidence!

After rushing up at the fastest speed, he slowed down on the left corner of the penalty area, and when the football landed, he took advantage of the trend and sprinted forward, and then he suddenly accelerated to catch up.

Just when Gareth Bale was about to pass the ball into the penalty area, Pique had already chased back to the line of the penalty area in time.

But just when Pique was about to kick, he suddenly found that Gareth Bale sped up again and waded the ball directly into the penalty area. The whole person rushed forward like an arrow, and Pique was powerless to foul.

Gareth Bale, who rushed into the left side of the penalty area with the ball, caught up with the ball in his best area. Facing the attacking Valdes, he calmly kicked a low shot.

The ball passed by Valdez's side and hung straight to the left of the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Bell area!!!"

"Gareth Bell!!!"

"Two to zero!"

"My God, Manchester City scored two goals in less than twenty minutes!"

"Gareth Bale used a very sharp kick, like a lightning-like anti-offside, and broke through Barcelona's goal single-handedly."

"The two wingers of Manchester City are very fast. We have to admit that Manchester City's counterattacks tonight were very decisive and sharp, which made Barcelona hard to defend."

"More importantly, Barcelona's defense is too high, and a large gap is exposed behind them."

...

After Guardiola saw Gareth Bale's successful anti-offside, he had already had a foreboding.

Seeing that Pique failed to catch up again, he knew that the ball was likely to be bad.

Sure enough, Gareth Bale shot from the left side of the penalty area where he is best at.

At that moment, Guardiola raised his head and felt a pain in his heart.

The tactical system he designed for Barcelona is nothing to say. On the surface, it looks like passing and controlling the ball, but it is actually pressing and pressing.

Everyone knows that in addition to offense, tactics must also have defense.

But Barcelona's style of play is too high. The advantage of this is obvious, that is, the passing area is as close to the opponent's goal as possible. This is Barcelona's advantage because they are good at passing the ball.

But after the ball control area is moved forward, the back line must also press forward.

When Harvey, Iniesta and others pass the ball near the 30-meter area, the central defender and the defensive line are basically near the center line.

Then the question arises, once the ball is stolen, what should I do if I am beaten behind?

When encountering speed players like Robben and Gareth Bale, there is basically no solution.

They don't even need their level, as long as they are a slightly faster forward, there is no way.

In this regard, Guardiola adopted a midfield oppression, that almost suffocating oppression.

This is from Van Gaal's tactical philosophy. After losing the ball, the ball must be recovered in the shortest possible time.

Of course, this is not realistic.

But the purpose of this set of concepts is not to grab the ball 100%, but to make all the midfielders actively engage in counter-stealing on the spot.

Only an active counter-grab on the spot can ensure that the team puts enough pressure on the opponent in the frontcourt, so that the opponent cannot make an effective counterattack and buy time for the team's defensive position.

But now, Barcelona has a problem in this link.

Especially the second conceded goal just now, he was directly hit behind.

How did Rakitic get the long pass?

You know, long pass and short pass are not the same, long pass needs time and space.

But he just got it out.

At this moment, Guardiola really felt a sense of depression.

He has no doubt that his team has encountered some problems that even he cannot solve by himself.

That is, what can he do when this group of successful and famous core players start to stop being so committed and so focused on executing his tactics?

The answer is, he can't do anything.

fired them?

Leaving aside personal friendships, even from the standpoint of the club, this is impossible.

Whoever wants to fire them, the Barcelona fans will fire this person first.

Not even Chairman Russell.

Guardiola talked to them many times, and the players kept reassuring that they would work hard.

But sometimes, slack is something that happens unconsciously, regardless of people's will.

Just like that time just now.

Although it is a two-round match, but conceded two goals in a row at home, how can this match be played?
