Chapter 269 The direction of the wind has changed... (Fourth update, please vote for me!)

The game restarts after kick-off in Barcelona.

Napoli tasted the sweetness of the goal, so they continued their high-flying tactics. Such tactics are not very entertaining in comparison, and in the eyes of many people, their technical content is not very high.

But it’s useful if you can’t stand it!

Otherwise, how could Naples equalize the score?

So Napoli continues to play like this, and they don't care if it makes a final unwatchable. A hundred times the viewing pleasure is not as good as a championship. Which is more important, fools know how to choose. Napoli has no obligation to sacrifice its championship honors to please the audience, especially those neutral fans. They are not Barcelona. They cannot play well and win the championship at the same time.

It's just that this makes Barcelona feel a little uncomfortable.

Their offense is advanced through layers of ground organization and focuses on ball control. Unless you play around, this kind of attack is still quite time-consuming. The number of attacks per unit time is definitely not as good as Naples' long pass...

Naples' midfielder does not need to organize the offense now, so they focus all their energy on defense. Barcelona ground push? That’s just what they want!

Strictly defend, fight with Barcelona in the midfield, fight and retreat, retreat to the 30-meter area, then no longer retreat, but hold on tightly. No matter how Barcelona passes the ball, the most important thing is not to lose your position. , instead of grabbing the opponent's ball...

After accomplishing this, Barcelona's offense ran into trouble - their characteristic is to use passing and movement to create gaps, tear open the gap in the opponent's already tight defense, and then kill with a fatal blow!

But what if the opponent doesn't care how you move, and there is no gap in the defense?

In addition, Barcelona, ​​which had equalized the score, was a little angry and wanted to score quickly and take the lead again. But it just backfired. The more they wanted to take the lead, the harder it became for them to take the lead.

Unknowingly, their hearts became impatient...

As for Naples, they just equalized the score with such a beautiful goal. What's more, they equalized with the powerful Cosmos team Barcelona. With high morale and high fighting spirit, even if the opponent's offensive is very fierce and the defensive pressure is It was very big, and I suddenly felt that it was no big deal. Everyone was holding back their energy to beat Barcelona.

The situation in football matches is like this. One is ebbing and the other is ebbing. If your momentum is weak, the opponent's momentum will come up and overwhelm you, especially in a game like the Champions League final. So it’s okay to lose, but you absolutely can’t lose the battle and lose your momentum!

※ ※ ※

Naples is the kind of team that goes crazy. Once the momentum is unleashed, it is difficult to suppress it, so now it seems that their offense is more threatening than Barcelona...

"Naples has a long pass from the back... They are now aware of this method, but who told them to have Chen Yingxiong? The hero's success rate in heading the ball in the frontcourt is very high. I just made a rough count, five headers He grabbed all the first points of the ball, and his teammates controlled four of the secondary points, resulting in two shots. Although the other one did not result in a shot, it created a huge advantage for Barcelona. threaten……"

"Naples' tactics are nothing new, but they are very targeted... It doesn't look good, but it works. I'm starting to worry about Barcelona now... This final is definitely not as easy to play as they thought. Catalonia before Asia Media conducted a survey and asked Barcelona fans who they most wanted to meet in the final. The result was that the vast majority of people chose Manchester United. The interpretation of the Catalan media at the time was that Barcelona fans did not like Naples and did not want it. They entered the final. The hero said that this is because Barcelona fans are afraid of Naples... Now it seems, I am more willing to believe the hero's version, because judging from the game, Naples really beat Barcelona a little! Think again, Naples last season In the two games against Barcelona, ​​we were actually not at a disadvantage. We lost to Barcelona 2:3 at the Nou Camp, but we scored two away goals. We scored a goal from the beginning when we returned home. If Chen Yingxiong hadn’t been sent off inexplicably, If so, Barcelona might not even be able to advance to the semi-finals... I now feel that Barcelona might not be able to win this championship!"

Now most commentators are starting to worry about Barcelona, ​​the wind direction has changed in just one ball. You must know that these people were still praising Barcelona's power before, as if no one in the world could stop them from winning the championship.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong scored a goal and everyone fell to the other side. This world is indeed real...

But it is true. Naples' performance gave many people hope. In Naples, Italy, many fans who could not go to watch the game watched the game at home, in bars, and in pizza shops. When they watched After Chen Yingxiong scored, all the previous worries were gone.

For a time, many people suddenly felt a surge of pride in their hearts - what is Barcelona? We can still win!

※ ※ ※

Ten minutes after Chen Yingxiong scored, although Barcelona suppressed Naples most of the time, Naples' counterattack was sharper and more threatening.

Even Guardiola couldn't sit still on the coaching bench this time. After Chen Yingxiong equalized the score, he got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines. He has not gone back yet.

He frowned, thinking about how to solve the situation on the field.

Judging from the scene, Barcelona still has the upper hand in ball possession, but what is the use of ball possession at this time? It’s just thunder but no rain!

What he wants is not ball possession rate, but accuracy. No matter how many shots he takes, it will be useless if he does not score.

On the contrary, Naples played very simply, which gave me a headache.

Alves and Abidal don't dare to attack now, because Piqué and Mascherano can't deal with Chen Yingxiong alone, and Cassano and Arshavin are very fast when they counterattack. If If the full-back rushes forward at this time, it is very likely that he will not be able to come back.

But this situation cannot continue forever. How to solve it?

To be honest, he hadn't thought of it yet...

What if you never think about it?

Then wait until overtime!

Guardiola made a decision in his mind. Anyway, he is very confident in Barcelona's physical strength.

Many people say that Barcelona dominates the world because they have a youth training foundation of 20 to 30 years, a consistent football tradition, outstanding stars, excellent coaches, and foundation and strength... but they all ignore a very important aspect. An inconspicuous, but perhaps very important reason. That's Barcelona's physical strength.

Barcelona's tactics require a lot of players' running ability. They have to keep moving, pass the football and quickly run to the next position. Even if their teammates don't pass the ball to them, they are not allowed to use running without the ball. Open up space and provide opportunities for teammates.

When defending, you will often see two or three of them rushing up to chase and intercept the player holding the ball. This kind of pressing is very energy-consuming.

Barcelona's football, whether offensive or defensive, is based on running, so if their physical fitness is not good, this team will collapse long ago, and it is impossible to win six championships in one season.

Precisely because he is very confident in his team's physical fitness, Guardiola decided that if he can't think of a way to solve Chen Yingxiong and Naples for the time being, then he will wait and see what happens. He believes that Naples' style of play is also very physically demanding, because Naples players always have to sprint from back to front and front to back during defensive counterattacks, which consumes more physical energy than Barcelona.

In overtime, as the physical exhaustion intensifies, the little physical energy left will not be able to support them to continue such piston runs. By then, what else will Naples have that is unable to attack? Isn't it their sharp offense that they can rely on most now? Without offense, Naples is like a tiger without its fangs and sharp teeth. It is just a slightly bigger cat, maybe not as scary as a cat...

After making up his mind, Guardiola realized that he had been standing outside for a long time, so he turned and walked back to the coaching bench.

Assistant coach Vilanova asked him: "What?"

"nothing much."

"Our situation is not good..."

"Yeah, so you tell them to watch their defense."

Vilanova was quite surprised by Guardiola's words. He originally thought that Guardiola would come up with some solution to the weak offense after thinking for a long time, but he never expected that he really thought of strengthening the defense... Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? What we need now is not not conceding goals, but scoring goals! The sooner a goal is scored, the sooner the initiative in the game will return to our hands...

Seeing the confusion on Vilanova's face, Guardiola tilted his head at him: "You go do it first, and I will tell you why you did it when you come back."

Vilanova took the order and left, using his loud voice and hand gestures on the sidelines to convey Guardiola's instructions, asking the whole team to pay attention to defense and not to allow Naples to take advantage of the counterattack.

After returning, he couldn't wait to find Guardiola: "Say it, Pep."

Guardiola tilted his head and explained to his assistant coach while looking at the court. "That's it, if we want to attack, Alves and Abidal must press, and even Piqué and Butzquez must press from time to time in order to put enough pressure on Naples and make their defense collapse... ...But now their counterattack is very sharp. If we press forward rashly, we may have conceded the ball before we even score a goal. Because that Chen Yingxiong...his role as a bridgehead is very obvious. He is like It’s like a nail being hammered into our most critical place, which makes us uncomfortable.”

Vilanova nodded. Guardiola was right, Chen Yingxiong was indeed crucial.

"But we also have an advantage, that is, our physical fitness is better than theirs, because most of the time we are in possession of the ball, and we guide them, and they can only be exhausted under our passing back and forth, and their physical fitness is consumed more than We are fast. As long as we can drag the game into overtime, I think we have a very high chance of winning this game!"
