Volume 1: When a Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 140: The Alarm Is Lifted? (First Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 140 The alarm is lifted? (First update, please vote for me!)

If you persist in doing anything for twenty or thirty years, you will probably be able to reach the extreme and achieve the pinnacle.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Barcelona can achieve today's brilliant results, and there is nothing mysterious or amazing. Because this is a legitimate reward for their persistence in their football philosophy for decades.

So will Barcelona become invincible because of this?

Naples, who was fearless, was the first to stand up and express his disapproval.

From the first minute of this game, the entire Naples team seemed to be on fire, putting tremendous pressure on Barcelona.

This kind of pressure is not only reflected in the offense, but also in defense, Naples also works very hard. They adhered to the tactics adopted in the first round at Camp Nou, deploying heavy troops in their midfield to cut off the connection between Messi and Xavi, while paying close attention to the movements of "little white" Iniesta.

In addition, the defenders are stationed at the back and the defenders are not allowed to easily assist and break away from their positions.

After studying Barcelona's football, Mazzarri felt that Barcelona was best at using back-and-forth kicks and passes to disrupt the opponent's defense. Once the opponent's defensive formation was torn apart by Barcelona's passes and movements, gaps would be exposed. These openings may not be fatal when facing other opponents. However, all the Barcelona players are very skilled and are very good at taking advantage of these small spaces. They pass the ball very accurately and maintain a very suitable distance. There are few long-distance passes, which greatly increases the lethality of direct passes. Pass success rate.

Therefore, the most effective way to defend against Barcelona's fierce offensive is to keep your defensive formation from being chaotic. No matter how the opponent passes and runs, don't be pulled out of your position.

Mazzarri has been asking players in training to strictly adhere to their defensive positions no matter what situation they encounter.

This defense may be a bit rigid and lack flexibility. It might be a problem against other teams, but against Barcelona, ​​it's perfect.

In addition, in order to enhance the effect of such a defense, Mazzarri will require the team to withdraw to the thirty-meter area except Chen Yingxiong when defending. Increasing the number of defensive players in the unit space can make up for some loopholes in the defense. After all, there are only four people in a defensive line, and there are always areas that cannot be taken care of.

Doing so requires a lot of physical fitness from the players.

Therefore, in the last round of the league, Mazzarri sent all substitutes to play against Lazio, just to allow the main players to maintain their strength so that they could beat Barcelona.

Continuous double matches in a week place a huge burden on the whole team's physical fitness. For this game, Mazzarri really gave up the domestic league completely.

But it paid off. Naples is currently performing very well in the game, and Barcelona has nothing to do with them for the time being.

Coupled with the tsunami of huge cheers from the St. Paul Stadium, this home court is really scary...

※ ※ ※

Guardiola stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets and a frown on his face.

The situation and scenes are not optimistic.

Five or six minutes into the game, Barcelona had two shots. Logically speaking, this should not make him frown. But what if both the shot and the shot are a hasty and helpless move?

Continuously fell forward, looking for opportunities. After falling for a long time, no opportunity was found. It made the Naples players get closer and closer. In the end, in order to prevent losing the ball, I had to take a long shot. The shot was either high or wide, but it was not. Very outrageous.

How could such an offensive make him happy?

Naples retreated quickly in defense and gave away possession of the ball completely. This surprised Guardiola at first, but he soon discovered that it was intentional. Naples' tactical thinking should be consistent with the first round, but more improvements were made in the second round, such as giving up possession of the ball more completely. They don't care at all whether it looks good or not.

As long as Barcelona can be eliminated, it will be the biggest victory.

Faced with such tactics, how can Barcelona break through?

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, thinking hard.

But time waits for no one, a game only lasts ninety minutes, the situation of the game is still changing, and the court is turbulent.

By the time he comes up with a countermeasure, where is the game going?

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong felt that he was in good condition today, so hot!

Because there is a fire in his heart, which has been suppressed since Cassano became ill until now. He wants to go all out and give Cassano a victory.

Since the situation is good and hot, it is natural to vent it out as soon as possible.

Although in the first few minutes, Barcelona was pressing Naples, it seemed as if Barcelona had the advantage and Naples could be captured at any time.

But Chen Yingxiong knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon.

When the team was defensive, he was hanging around the center circle, waiting for a chance to counterattack. But unfortunately, Naples had two counterattacks. After the football was passed by the big foot, he was unable to catch the ball. Barcelona really "takes care" of him and sends someone to defend him, and it's still Piqué. This time Piqué's attitude was obviously more cautious.

It seems that he was completely frightened by Chen Yingxiong in the last game...

These two counterattacks failed. In addition to Chen Yingxiong being followed closely by Pi Kui, another important reason was that other teammates did not come up to support him, leaving him alone.

However, after more than six minutes, Barcelona's offensive slowed down, and they also needed to adjust their rhythm and could not always attack blindly. Because they have already seen that Naples is aiming for a defensive counterattack. They hope that the entire Barcelona team will attack fiercely, so that there will be space behind them.

This is good news for Chen Yingxiong. He is not afraid of the opponent shrinking his defense because he is a powerful center and a heavy weapon that specializes in breaking dense defenses.

On the contrary, Barcelona's retracement and slowing down the pace can actually allow Naples to press a little more appropriately and organize more offensives.

In this way, Chen Yingxiong will receive more support.

※ ※ ※

In the eighth minute, Naples pressed forward to attack. Sanchez received Hamsik's pass on the right. He looked up and glanced at Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong raised his arm and signaled Sanchez to pass the football to him.

But Sanchez did not do this because he saw Chen Yingxiong on the line of the penalty area, which was still a bit far from the goal. Moreover, there was Piqu beside him who followed him every step of the way. The Chilean felt that even if the ball was passed, Chen Yingxiong might not be able to catch the ball, and even if he did catch it, he would probably lose it under Piqué's close defense.

So he just looked up, moved the football forward, and broke through.

Seeing that Sanchez did not pass the football to him, Chen Yingxiong had to run towards the goal. As a result, Sanchez's simple breakthrough was seen through by the opponent. Barcelona defender Abidal forced Sanchez into a dead end. In desperation, Sanchez had to kick the football in Abidal rebounded out of the sideline. At least he got a foul ball for the team...

Napoli throws the foul ball out.

This time, there was no entanglement with Barcelona on the right wing. After receiving the ball, Hamsik quickly moved the football to the left wing, and the football reached Arshavin's feet.

Chen Yingxiong once again raised his arms high in the penalty area.

Arshavin also looked up and saw Chen Yingxiong with his arms raised. Of course, he also saw Piqué, who was following him every step of the way. In addition, there was Puyo, another central defender of Barcelona. Well, near them there are Butzkes.

But Arshavin still resolutely passed the football.

"Arshavin made a direct pass!"

※ ※ ※

The flight trajectory of this ball is a bit high. Only in this way can it avoid being intercepted midway.

The ball flew high, everyone saw it, and the Barcelona players were ready.

Even Butzquez, who had been watching from the side, decisively gave up the idea of ​​guarding the middle and rushed directly to Chen Yingxiong, intending to use his body to squeeze Chen Yingxiong and interfere with his catching the ball.

At the same time, Puyol and Piqué also quickly made a division of labor - Piqué jumped up first and competed with Chen Yingxiong for the top, thus forcing Chen Yingxiong to be unable to control the football, while Puyol was waiting for an opportunity to move next to him. Take the opportunity to steal the ball.

A perfect defensive tactic.

So when Chen Yingxiong made a gesture to take off - lowering his center of gravity, then kicking out his legs hard and jumping up... Pikui jumped up first. He planned to get the football before Chen Yingxiong. Push it out. Although the strategy is to work together to cut off the football, wouldn't it be better if he could do it in one step and then clear the football out first?

Unexpectedly, when his body soared into the sky like a rocket, from the corner of his eye, he saw that Chen Yingxiong did not jump with him. His body did make an upward movement, but he only stepped on his toes. !

This is obviously a fake move!

Oh shit! Damn it!

This was Piqua's only thought after discovering this fact.

Because he knows why the opponent uses fake moves, because he is destined to not be able to hit the ball...

Chen Yingxiong was indeed quite accurate in judging where the football would land. He used a fake jump to trick Piquet into jumping first, because he couldn't hit the ball in this position!

When he saw Piqué take off, he took a step to the other side - that's where the football landed.

Sure enough, although Piqué tried his best to take off, he was unable to hit the football, and even the skin of the football was not touched.

At this time he can only count on Puyol!

※ ※ ※

When Puyol saw Piqué jumping up, he thought that Chen Yingxiong had given up fighting for the ball with Piqué. Who would have thought that Chen Yingxiong took a step back and actually appeared at the real landing point of the football, while his teammate Piqué didn't even think about it. Didn't even touch a football!

"Piqué is on top!" the Catalan commentator exclaimed, his voice changing.

On the line of the penalty area, the central defender is on top, what does that mean?

A good enough shooter will not let such an opportunity slip away from his feet!

So like Piqué, he can only count on Puyol.

This was a blessing in misfortune. Puyol, the pinnacle of the team's defense, had not lost his position yet. He did not panic, but decisively pounced on Chen Yingxiong.

It is already impossible to lift the ball over Chen Yingxiong's head.

All Puyol has to do now is to use his body to hit Chen Yingxiong. If the opponent wants to directly header the ball, interfere with his shot. If it is to stop the ball, then let him stop the ball.

Of course, the degree of impact needs to be controlled well. However, as an experienced old central defender, Puyol still has no problem in this regard.

Even if Chen Yingxiong can't lose control of the football, as long as he can't get rid of himself, the defense has a pretty good chance of winning this time!

Because as long as he buys time, Piquui and Butzquez can come over. The three of them will form an encirclement on Chen Yingxiong. No matter how powerful he is, he will definitely not be able to escape.

He is not Messi, he has poor ball control skills at his feet. This point was mentioned in the previous information about Chen Yingxiong.

So as long as Puyol and the others can successfully force Chen Yingxiong to control the ball with his feet, at this point, Barcelona's defense will basically be successful.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong seemed to feel that Puyol wanted to hit him, so he turned slightly and put his back between the football and Puyol. Then... get ready for this impact!

The impact almost comes with football.

He spreads his arms and stops the ball with his chest. At the same time, Puyol bumped into him from behind.

There was no imaginary situation of a person flipping over. Chen Yingxiong didn't even shake his body, but the football did not stop steadily, but bounced up again!

This is considered a ball stop error!

Could it be that Chen Yingxiong's collision with Puyol affected his stoppage?

Maybe Puyol knows a little bit about the reason - when he knocked down Chen Yingxiong's body, he didn't feel that he had hit the body, and there was a soft cushioning feeling. No, it was a hard contact, it felt like hitting metal...

Because at that moment, Chen Yingxiong's upper body muscles contracted rapidly, and his soft flesh turned into an object comparable to steel in an instant.

It stands to reason that when the ball stops with the chest, it should be when the football is falling. When the ball reaches the moment before it comes into contact with the chest, the center of gravity quickly moves back, the chest is tightened, and the muscles are relaxed to cushion the impact of the football. This is equivalent to treating the chest as a Meat pads.

But Chen Yingxiong did the exact opposite. He contracted the muscles in his chest and tightened them. At that moment, his chest was like an iron plate. How could it buffer the falling force of the football when it fell like this? Then he stopped obediently next to Chen Yingxiong. What is within the controllable range?

Therefore, whether it is from the surface or the deeper reasons, Chen Yingxiong made a mistake in stopping this golf ball. Of course, if he stops the ball according to the general chest stopping technique, then he may not be able to maintain the stability of his body under Puyol's impact, which will actually cause a ball stopping error...

Barcelona fans were relieved when they saw the ball bouncing high again.

The air raid alert was lifted.
