Chapter 868 Point Guard (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe!)

"Messi!! A sudden shot helped Barcelona score a goal!"

"Barcelona scored a goal just 4 minutes into the game. This is definitely a dream start. Real Madrid suffered a heavy blow in the opening stage. They failed to enter the game quickly, and Messi took advantage of this and scored a goal!"

"Barcelona leads Real Madrid 1:0!"

Commentator Gonzalez exclaimed.

This goal surprised him.

In the past, Messi would not shoot like this. He would dribble to a more threatening position or get closer to the goal.

But this time, after observing that Casillas had some problems with his position, he immediately decided to shoot.

And the quality of this shot was very high, and the angle was extremely tricky. Casillas failed to make a successful save.

All of this proves that Messi is in excellent condition.

Guardiola on the sidelines clenched his fists and celebrated excitedly.

That's right!

That's it!

Since entering this season, Messi has given him a different feeling. Whether it is training or warm-up matches, Messi has become more eager to score goals.

He began to face Suker's pressure on him and planned to overturn these pressures.

The change in mentality led to the state and completely liberated Messi's performance.

And this goal is the best proof.

Moreover, Fabregas' arrival once again added strong support to Barcelona's midfield.

This was not a transfer promoted by Guardiola, but it must be said that Fabregas is very useful.

Just like this time, under the prismatic position.

Xavi and Fabregas controlled the situation in the midfield one after the other.

This made Messi not have to retreat to receive the ball, and Iniesta was able to perform well.

At the same time, Barcelona has also adapted to Real Madrid's high-pressure pressing.

All this broke out at this moment.

Guardiola clenched his fists hard: "It's time to counterattack!"

On the other side, in the Real Madrid coaching bench, Mourinho frowned fiercely.

The situation has changed.

The latter said that Barcelona has changed.

Although he has tried to arrange the defense line as carefully as possible, Barcelona still scored a goal.

Khedira failed to stop Messi.

But what Mourinho is most worried about is whether this goal was a lucky move or Messi did it on purpose.

If the latter, then the game will become very difficult.

"Pinch back the defense!"

Mourinho yelled at the court; "Raise your arms, what are your bodies for? Put pressure on them, confront! Confront! Seek confrontation!"

The Real Madrid players also looked solemn.

After this goal, they knew that something was wrong.

Suk glanced at the Barcelona players who were celebrating, and he gritted his teeth slightly.

It was indeed the case!

"After the game started again, Barcelona still controlled the ball, and their passing became more and more fluid. The high-pressure pressing failed to completely disrupt Barcelona's passing rhythm. They used more swift and accurate passes to break through Real Madrid's high-pressure pressing!"

"However, Real Madrid is also very resilient. They quickly retreated and arranged the defense again!"

Real Madrid was suppressed in the half as a whole.

After several unsuccessful pressings, they did not dare to press too fiercely, fearing that the gap they left would be used by the opponent.

Barcelona relied on smooth passing to suppress the opponent.

Suker was on standby in the frontcourt.

Suker was also very conflicted at this time.

Should he retreat?

Suker turned his head and looked at Mourinho.

Mourinho pressed his arm and asked him to stay where he was.

Suker exhaled. He could only choose to trust Mourinho and his teammates.

He had to occupy this counterattack position.

At the same time, the players were still enduring Barcelona's offensive impact.

"Left! Left! Block him!"

Kaka and Sanchez collided fiercely.

But before the collision, Sanchez had passed the ball to Messi.

Messi looked up at Iniesta, and Alonso wanted to steal the ball while taking this opportunity.

But Messi's foot was a buckle, and while Alonso stretched his foot, he suddenly started to get rid of it and approached the penalty area again.

At this moment, Real Madrid's defense line was facing a great enemy.

Messi pretended to shoot.

"I'll do it!"

Ramos rushed over.

At this moment, Messi rubbed his feet.

The ball passed over Ramos' head and fell to the position behind him.

And there, Iniesta suddenly cut in diagonally.

"Iniesta!! Real Madrid is in danger!!"

Bang!

Just as Iniesta was about to shoot the falling ball, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side. He knocked the ball with his heel. Iniesta looked at the missed opportunity and could only withdraw his foot helplessly.

"Srna!! He filled Ramos's space and completed the block, but the crisis is not over yet, Barcelona's corner kick!"

In the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid, the players of both sides fought fiercely.

They were not giving in.

"Front point! Whose front point is it?"

At this time, Sanchez suddenly ran to the front point.

Barcelona also suddenly took a free throw.

Just as the fans at the scene exclaimed, a figure suddenly slid and shoveled the ball out of the baseline before Sanchez.

"Fuck!"

Suker got up from the ground.

If he hadn't retreated, this point would have been lost.

"Cheer up! Don't miss a point!"

Suker shouted loudly.

The game time was close to 20 minutes. Under continuous pressure, Real Madrid's defense began to make some mistakes.

There is no absolute defense in this world, only relative!

Any strong defense will make mistakes if the pressure is strong enough.

Just like the once invincible Italian defense and the double shovel Ronaldo, Real Madrid's defense is indeed strong, but they can't resist long-term pressure.

Suker didn't run back to the front court, but retreated to help compete for the header.

"Real Madrid's defensive pressure is too great, and even Suker has to retreat to compete for the header!"

Bang!

Ramos completed the clearance.

He knocked the ball to Srna.

Srna received the ball and passed it forward to Kaka.

At this time, Suker had landed and started to sprint.

On the other side, Bale also started quickly.

Real Madrid's wings started to start.

After observing Suker's position, Kaka chose to pass the ball to Bale.

This is the fastest counterattack route.

Bale rushed forward immediately after receiving the ball, but he was driven to the baseline and could not find the passing space, and the return route was also blocked.

Helplessly, Bale forced a cross, and the ball hit Abidal's calf and flew out of the baseline.

Real Madrid got the first corner kick.

"Go for the header! Go for the header!"

Suker called on his teammates to go for the header.

Mourinho looked at this scene with a frown.

The rhythm became a little chaotic.

The midfielder could not control the rhythm of the counterattack, and this counterattack was very reluctant.

Bang!

Real Madrid's corner kick was taken.

Suker jumped up in the crowd.

But at the moment of the header, he was surrounded by three people, and Suker held his breath to complete the header.

But the body could not fully unfold, and the ball flew over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

"Suker!! He still headed the ball under the double-team of three people. This corner kick attack made Barcelona sweat. Barcelona needs to avoid this kind of high-altitude ball as much as possible!"

As soon as the voice fell, some stupid ball boy threw the ball into the court.

Valdes saw this great opportunity and immediately kicked the ball. After just two passes, the ball was passed to the front court.

"Damn it!"

Suker turned his head and ran wildly.

But at this time, the ball had crossed the Real Madrid half.

Just when Messi was about to receive the ball, Srna decisively put down the shovel and shoveled him to the ground with the ball.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

The referee ran to Srna and took out a yellow card.

Srna committed a tactical foul and received a card.

"Real Madrid is playing more and more passively, and the rhythm is controlled by Barcelona."

Mourinho also pursed his lips and kept thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, Xavi passed the ball to Iniesta, who passed through the defense continuously, successfully went to the bottom, and made a reverse triangle pass to the middle.

Messi pretended to receive the ball, but suddenly missed it.

Everyone's attention was on Messi, causing Sanchez behind Messi to be ignored.

Sanchez did not waste this opportunity and made an accurate push shot.

The ball went into the net.

31 minutes, Barcelona 2:0 Real Madrid.

With two goals behind, Real Madrid became more passive.

Mourinho frowned and suddenly walked to the sidelines: "Suke! Move towards the middle and help the midfield to pass the ball!"

Barcelona put too much pressure on the midfield.

For Real Madrid, it must rely on the midfield to relieve the pressure on the back line.

At the very least, Barcelona can't continue to attack like this.

Mourinho wants to play with both wings.

Therefore, excessive pressure on passing the ball is applied to Kaka.

Every time Kaka holds the ball, he will face the pressure of 2-3 people pressing, which requires someone to help Kaka share this part of the pressure.

And Suker is the best choice.

Suker grinned and cursed in his heart.

But he still walked towards Kaka.

"Sorry! My problem."

Kaka was a little frustrated.

He couldn't bear the pressure. If his passing could be stable, then Real Madrid could play the effect of flying on both wings.

But it turned out that Barcelona was playing with Kaka.

"No need to apologize! You are being targeted!"

Suker shook his head and comforted.

Guardiola found the focus and seized Kaka's passing point.

Of course, Alonso can also pass the ball, but most of them are high-altitude balls. After all, he is still some distance away from Suker and Bale.

The passing distance is too long, and there are more variables here.

Ground penetration must pass through Kaka, the passing hub.

Therefore, Guardiola seized Kaka as the passing hub, and while limiting Kaka, he made Barcelona's backcourt alert to long passes and be ready to grab the first landing point at any time.

Real Madrid has no numerical advantage in the frontcourt.

Suker's several one-way breakthroughs were threatening, but this single offensive mode was offset by Barcelona.

Therefore, the problem now is to help Kaka solve the problem of passing the ball.

Otherwise, their back line will continue to face pressure.

"They actually stared at Kaka and kicked!"

Mourinho turned his head to look at Guardiola. This bald guy is really annoying.

Guardiola also exhaled slowly.

He felt relieved.

Finally, a game went in the direction of his expectations.

For Barcelona, ​​they must get an advantage in the first half. If they fail to get an advantage in the first half, it will be difficult for them to stop the monster Suker from breaking out in the second half.

That's right!

All the arrangements in the first half were to resist the variables brought by Suker in the second half.

"Suker began to move closer to the middle to help the midfield solve the ball control problem. This is also the biggest problem for Real Madrid at present. Barcelona cannot control the rhythm and must stabilize the game situation."

Gonzalez looked at the time; "There are still 10 minutes left before the end of the first half. Real Madrid will drag it to the halftime break."

Facts have proved that Mourinho's judgment is correct.

When Suker moved closer to the middle to help Kaka relieve pressure, the pressure on Real Madrid's defense was also relieved a lot.

Previously, Barcelona pressed Kaka with 2-3 people. When Suker joined them, they had to consider Suker's problem.

Suker kept controlling the ball, passing the ball, and transferring to help Kaka relieve the pressure.

And Kaka was gradually getting out of the quagmire.

Unknowingly, ten minutes had passed.

Halftime came.

In the first half, Real Madrid was 0:2 behind Barcelona!

In the locker room of Real Madrid, Bale said excitedly: "We have no chance at all. The midfield pass cannot be passed to the wing, our advancement cannot be carried out, and we have no chance to sprint at all."

Bale was very panicked.

Throughout the first half, he played extremely confused.

Real Madrid was in a disadvantage as a whole, and he had even fewer chances.

The most important thing was that they were two goals behind, and he was almost anxious, but these guys were too relaxed (indifferent).

"What are you panicking about?"

Srna patted Bale's shoulder and said unhappily: "Our focus is in the second half. They did set us up in the first half, but after adjusting in the second half, we will reverse it."

"Reversal? In the current situation, woo woo"

Suker stuffed a banana into Bale's mouth.

"Shut up! You keep chattering. What's there to panic about? Have you ever fallen behind?"

Suker glanced at Bale and turned his head immediately.

The guy looked like a monkey with a banana in his mouth. He almost couldn't hold it.

Bale was irritated, but he still endured it.

At this time, Mourinho walked into the locker room.

"Let's get started."

Mourinho patted the tactical board and said, "In the first half, there were some problems with my judgment, which led to the situation of falling behind. Our coaching staff is responsible for this."

"But next, we should also counterattack!"

"Barcelona has curbed our ball outlet. We need to increase the organization point!"

Everyone pursed their lips.

Is this going to change people?

At this time, Mourinho said lightly: "We will not change people, but we must establish a backcourt organization point."

Everyone was stunned.

Suker also turned his head to look at Mourinho.

Mourinho looked at Srna and said, "Srna, you will cooperate with Alonso and take charge of the organization!"

Hearing this, Suker's mind was in a trance.

Organizer?

His eyes lit up.

In European football, there is such a group of players: they are strong, but have delicate skills that do not match their body.

They are tall, but they hide meticulous thinking under their tough appearance.

They rarely leave their own half, but they can tear the opponent's defense line in a casual conversation...

This is the 'organizer'.

The prevalence of the organizer is inseparable from the passing and controlling tactics.

The Spanish national team and Barcelona began to dominate the football world, and their unique passing and controlling style of play was recognized by the industry and admired by fans.

As a result, more and more teams began to imitate and learn Barcelona's ball control, trying to find their own way to success through this approach.

For a team that mainly passes and controls, the ability to control the ball and move forward from its own half is a must.

This requires the team to have one or more players with excellent passing ability in the midfield and backcourt, and to launch an attack through the connection of these players-the spring of the organizer has arrived.

This position was initially popular with central defenders, who were also ball-playing defenders.

From the initial passing and controlling football, it began to evolve into a defensive counterattack and also played an important role.

From the central defender position, it began to shift to the full-back.

That includes the two responsibilities of attack/organization.

The most famous are undoubtedly the two full-backs of the mad dog Red Army led by Klopp.

Arnold and Robertson!

This type of full-back can not only stabilize the situation in the backcourt, but also move forward at high speed along the side like a sharp knife.

Previously, Srna and Marcelo have repeatedly demonstrated the responsibilities of offensive full-backs.

From now on, they will use more passes to increase the organization points in the backcourt.

It can be said that once the effect is achieved, there is no need for Suker, and Kaka's pressure will also dissipate.

Even without substitutions, it can offset Barcelona's pressure and launch a quick counterattack.

Suker looked at Mourinho.

They had practiced this tactic before, but he didn't expect it to be in this place, and the effect might be surprisingly good.

However, Suker was also a little puzzled. Is Mourinho such a thoughtful person?

After all, in his impression, Mourinho is a bit rigid, always holding on to his defensive counterattacks and fighting to the death.

But it doesn't matter!

As long as this set of tactics is played out.

They can quickly reverse the situation, and even reverse the score.

The most important thing is that Suker doesn't need to retreat.

The halftime break is over.

The players of both sides returned to the court.

"After the first half of the game, Barcelona is currently leading by two goals. Real Madrid has not made any substitutions. Does Mourinho still plan to fight with the original lineup? Is this really effective?"

Gonzalez said, Guardiola also looked at Real Madrid's lineup.

No substitutions?

Guardiola believes that Real Madrid will definitely waste at least one substitution quota in order to increase the ball outlet.

But Mourinho didn't do that!

Mourinho hugged his arms, and his heart was also full of emotion.

After this tactic was developed, it was rarely used. After all, Real Madrid had Alonso and Kaka, and the midfield was not so easy to be suppressed.

But Barcelona did not expect Kaka to be restricted in order to suppress Real Madrid's defense.

And without substitutions, this tactic can show its effect.

Of course, tactics are tactics, and Srna's performance is still needed.

The first step is to use the connection between Srna and Bale to open the attack on the right.

Let Barcelona focus its defense on the right.

And when the opponent shifts its center of gravity, Srna's 45-degree pass combined with Suker's forward insertion will kill the opponent in one blow.
