Chapter 307 Barcelona, ​​Which Was Highly Expected by La Liga, Fell Again

Chapter 307 Barcelona, ​​which was highly expected by La Liga, fell again...

"The speed of the Barcelona team's defense is too slow! If a team played this level of defense against Chelsea in the Premier League, it would be unqualified!

Alves and Alba should consider whether to actively advance and participate in the attack.

Enrique also needs to weigh the pros and cons. In this situation, if one more goal is lost, it will be difficult for Barcelona to reverse the situation in the second round at Stamford Bridge..."

Zhan Jun, who had just celebrated passionately for Li Ang's wonderful assist, gradually calmed down and gave a slightly objective explanation.

But Zhang Lu, who was sitting next to him, was not polite at all and directly pointed out the gap between Barcelona and Chelsea in terms of tactics.

"Enrique is very practical. Compared with his predecessor Martino, he is willing to lower his posture and fight back against Chelsea, which is actually a good thing for Barcelona.

But I'm telling you, many current La Liga coaches still need to take a closer look at the tactical changes and developments of several top teams in the Premier League.

In the past few seasons, we can say that the forefront of the reform of tactical changes in world football is in La Liga, in Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and then Bayern followed up and won the Champions League after the tactical change.

But the main position of this tactical change is not static. Now Chelsea and Manchester City's technical and tactical play is obviously ahead of other teams. If Enrique wants to learn, he must learn more thoroughly!

You only learn counterattacks, but don't focus on the efficiency of attack and defense conversion. With the same set of play, Chelsea is like a teacher, and you, the student How can you win if you only learn half of the theory?

If Barcelona wants to return to its peak, it must work hard on tactical changes. From players to coaches, they must pay attention to it and completely change their inherent tactical thinking.

As for the overall framework of the team building, Barcelona has no problem. Their current lineup can still be very competitive if they add more young midfielders and fill in the center.

But the important thing is the tactical thinking. It is already 2015. Barcelona really needs to put aside the pride they played in 2011 and start again down to earth.

The dynasty can collapse, but it can also be rebuilt. What kind of ending you want, you really have to control it yourself! "

When Coach Zhang said this, he might have thought of Milan's current decline, and his tone was inevitably a little serious.

As for the current problems in Barcelona's team, he only touched on them. If you want to delve deeper, then Barcelona, ​​from defense to midfield, is not just as simple as adding young newcomers.

After all, the fans can clearly see the weak role of Iniesta and Rafinha in the two quick counterattacks that Chelsea successfully played in the first half.

Alves and Alba are both too strong in attack. Now that Alves is old, he needs a strong midfielder to help him fill in.

Professor Bu's sense of position is still very good. It is obviously very unfair to throw all the blame for the loss of midfield to him.

If he can be matched with a partner who is physically fit, flexible and active in defense, his performance can be improved.

In the final analysis, there can be players with physical or technical defects in a team, but what is more important is the complementary characteristics between the players.

Those who cannot complement each other should be separated. Those who are capable continue to start. Those with serious defects that cannot be compensated should be honest substitutes.

Barcelona is such a big club, and it has to spend money in the transfer market. There are so many outstanding young players. It is better to use two transfer windows to try and error than to continue to hold on to the old lineup.

For defenders like Mascherano who have obvious flaws, it is really best not to start in certain games.

When he and Pique started, there were three players less than 1.75 meters tall on the Barcelona back line!

Relying on Pique alone to defend the air defense is fine at ordinary times, but the Barcelona fans at Camp Nou have seen what will happen when Chelsea, who are unreasonable, smash the high ball.

Enrique was afraid of being smashed, so he asked Mathieu to warm up on the sidelines at this time, and barely kept a clear mind and called Xavi back to the bench.

He understood that even if Barcelona wanted to focus on offense in today's game, it might not be a good idea to let Iniesta and Xavi play together.

The two people over 30 basically can't play more than 90 minutes of continuous high-intensity games.

Rafinha seems to be useless at the moment. With these two or three cards in his hand, no matter how Enrique plays, he can't escape the fate of being dispersed in the middle by Chelsea.

So this tactic has changed over and over, and it still goes back to the problem at the beginning of the game.

The only way for Barcelona to break the deadlock is to let Chelsea take the initiative to attack, reveal the gaps in the defense line, and then Barcelona will counterattack from the wing to find an opportunity to break the balance of the game.

But Chelsea was not easily fooled. On the surface, they took over the ball, but in fact they seized the opportunity of attack and defense conversion after Barcelona's counterattack failed.

After successfully scoring the first goal, Chelsea would not take the risk of taking the initiative to attack.

Therefore, Barcelona's most likely tactical play to defeat Chelsea at home could not be implemented.

In the end, they had to press out and besiege Chelsea, but they did not have a strong center, and they could not play simple and clear attacking tactics.

Chelsea's three-layer defense cannot be penetrated, and the empty defense is still a concern. It is a dilemma, no matter how you play, it will be wrong!

Before the game restarted, Enrique could only replace Mascherano with Martino to increase the height of the defense.

But he can't make up for the defensive intensity in the midfield.

I can't find any helper for Busquets, there is really no one available!

Whether it is Xavi or the younger Roberto, their abilities on the defensive end are relatively limited.

Enrique can only take one step at a time.

Perhaps it is what many Barcelona fans longed for before the game.

Expect Messi to explode in the second half of the game, take over the rhythm of the game, and then forcefully lead Barcelona to suppress Chelsea.

Such a fantasy may seem unreliable in normal times, but in this truly desperate moment, Enrique felt that he could expect a hand!

After replacing Mathieu, Barcelona's backcourt air defense capabilities have indeed improved a lot.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that Chelsea once again restrained its counterattack firepower and was content with a 2-0 halftime lead.

The Barcelona fans at the scene all let out a sigh of relief when the referee blew the half-time whistle.

They had no intention of booing Chelsea's main players who were celebrating on the spot. They only hoped that Enrique could come up with a new and effective tactical plan during the halftime break.

And under this kind of nervous waiting, time passed very quickly, and fifteen minutes almost flew by in an instant.

The director also very discerningly focused the camera on the players of the two teams who came out of the tunnel again.

Chelsea led Barcelona 2-0 at halftime, which made the game more popular. The number of fans watching the game also skyrocketed after the start of the second half.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, hundreds of millions of fans around the world have seen the solemn and serious expressions on the faces of Barcelona players.

In comparison, the atmosphere within the Chelsea team is too relaxed.

Li Ang even smiled and nodded slightly at the live broadcast camera.

Facing Barcelona, ​​he passed and shot in half the game. At this moment, he is undoubtedly the absolute focus of the Nou Camp.

The Barcelona fans, who seemed to have calmed down a bit, couldn't bear it anymore when they saw Li Ang's "pretentious" smile on the big screen!

Harsh boos immediately swept through the entire Camp Nou stadium, but this time, Li Ang did not directly respond.

As if he didn't hear the overwhelming boos, he continued to walk confidently onto the court.

The referee on duty didn't waste any time. He held his watch and soon blew the whistle to start the second half of the game on time!

Chelsea, who kicked off the ball, were not in a hurry. Starting from Ibrahimovic and Hazard, the ball was passed back all the way.

Faced with the aggressive pressing of Barcelona's frontcourt players, Thiago Silva didn't even hesitate and passed the football directly to Cech behind him.

The Chelsea defender, who had already opened up his position on both sides early, also gave Cech space to cross the ball calmly.

Azpilicueta was the first to receive Cech's pass.

Sanchez and Neymar turned to double-team him.

But Azpilicueta did not panic, nor did he drive the ball directly forward.

Because Li Ang had already retreated to the back line to support him, he passed the ball to Li Ang with confidence before Sanchez and Neymar surrounded him.

Messi didn't know when he ran to this area to press for the ball.

But Li Ang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The moment he caught the ball with his back, he turned 90 degrees to the right and dribbled the ball directly sideways to avoid Messi's defensive interference!

Facing Raphinha who was actively pressing towards him, Leon directly cooperated with Kroos, who had retreated to meet him, and made a one-two pass in the backcourt.

Seeing that Raphinha was easily thrown away by Li Ang like a wooden stake, Iniesta had no choice but to directly attack and chose to pull Li Ang to stop!

So in the first minute of the second half, Barcelona received their first yellow card of the day!

Li Ang stood there with a smile and spread his hands, not caring, and Iniesta had nothing to protest. After receiving the yellow card, he silently ran back to his own half.

Under the influence of such an unfavorable start to the second half, Barcelona's bench seemed to become increasingly quiet.

On Chelsea's side, Mourinho applauded and gave Li Ang a thumbs up, then sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Chelsea restarted the kick and then continued to pass the ball in the midfield.

With Leon and Kroos controlling the tempo of the game, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to attack, Barcelona will have to constantly invest in fighting for the ball if they want to get the ball!

This is a very cruel scene for Barcelona fans.

They all know that this is a tactical trap played by Chelsea, but Barcelona still has to step into it!

Iniesta, who was carrying a yellow card, pressed forward with Rafinha.

Alves and Alba also passed the center line. In order to maintain the integrity of the midfield defense, Busquets had no choice but to follow them up.

Seeing this situation makes countless Barcelona fans tremble with fear!

In the 58th minute of the second half, Mourinho finally made his first substitution card of the game.

The goal hero Ibrahimovic was replaced and Lukaku came on as a substitute.

At the same time, Van Ginkel and Salah both started warming up on the sidelines.

And in the sixth minute after the substitution, the Spanish commentator once again worriedly expressed that Barcelona needed to pay more attention to Lukaku's counterattack.

Matic, who had completed the steal, sent a through pass directly from the backcourt, creating an opportunity for Lukaku to pull the side and explode!

At this moment, Hazard tacitly gave up his left area and changed positions to run to the middle.

And Alves, who was returning to defense, looked at Lukaku, who was running beside him like a wild bear, and was dumbfounded!

This was a completely asymmetrical confrontation!

So many neutral fans subconsciously sympathized with Alves when they saw Lukaku crush Alves and run towards the Barcelona bottom line with the ball.

Lukaku, who directly pulled the side and exploded through the entire Barcelona defense line, was not satisfied with the bottom cross, he even cut inside into the Barcelona penalty area!

Pique met him tragically.

Lukaku was satisfied with the inverted triangle pass until then.

However, Li Ang, who received the ball in the middle of the Barcelona penalty area, did not shoot directly this time.

He took the ball to the back of the penalty area, and De Bruyne, who rushed to the goal, simply shot low and scored!

Ter Stegen, who was bluffed by Li Ang, could only watch the ball cross the line again.

And several Chelsea attacking players who played tricks on the entire Barcelona defense line laughed and ran to the corner flag area together!

The huge Camp Nou stadium was once again filled with the passionate cheers of more than 10,000 Chelsea fans!

Many Barcelona fans who couldn't bear the blow even chose to leave the field to protest at this moment.

This scene was extremely dazzling.

Pique roared and pointed his finger at his temple to his defensive partners, indicating that they needed to focus more on the defense line.

Messi and Iniesta stood with their hands on their hips in the front court and stared at the electronic scoreboard, looking powerless and lonely.

The game had been ruined by Chelsea at this moment.

But this was not the end of the game!

Barcelona, ​​which was three goals behind at home, still had some spirit.

Or, Enrique, who was unwilling to accept his fate, made a last-ditch effort!

Xavi and Pedro came on the field.

Rafinha and Busquets were replaced!

There was no way. It was meaningless to make substitutions on the offensive line at this time.

To seize the last chance to turn things around, Barcelona had to bet everything on the offensive end!

Barcelona, ​​which almost changed its formation to 424, launched a desperate attack in the last thirty minutes of the game!

The physical energy accumulated by Messi in the first half was also released completely.

He burst out with huge energy in the crowded Chelsea half.

Even if the space was narrow, he tried his best to dodge and open up some situations.

In the 76th minute of the second half, Messi chose to cut in and shoot after forcibly shaking off Li Ang!

This time, Li Ang didn't even have time to foul, and Messi's left-foot shot successfully bypassed Cech's ten fingers!

Unfortunately, the goalposts at Camp Nou denied Messi the possibility of leading Barcelona to a desperate reversal!

When the ball hit the inside of the goalpost and bounced back into the Chelsea penalty area, the Barcelona coaching bench, who had been planning to celebrate, wailed!

However, before Barcelona's coaches and substitutes could further regret and lament, Terry, who reacted first, had already kicked the ball to the front of Barcelona!

This time Terry did not intentionally look for a counterattack opportunity, but Lukaku, who had been cruising in Barcelona's half, had enough time to accelerate towards the landing point of the ball!

Facing Pique's frontal interception, Lukaku was very smart this time and did not choose to stop the ball and wait for his teammates to advance, but ran directly to the side with the ball.

After attracting the defensive attention of Pique and Xavi, he passed the ball vigorously to the left side of Barcelona's half where the defense was empty!

De Bruyne unconventionally vacated the ball while running, and when the Barcelona players who were returning to defend had no time to think about his next move, he abnormally knocked the ball back to the middle again!

At this moment, there was about 35 meters away from the right side of the middle of the Barcelona goal.

Li Ang, who had just rushed in, didn't care about resting. He looked up and observed, then held his breath, stretched his body and swung his legs with full force!

Li Ang's choice of heavy artillery to hit the goal was completely beyond the expectations of all Barcelona's defensive players!

And the football was also in the dull and terrifying sound, and it quickly approached the Barcelona goal like a cannonball!

Ter Stegen made a desperate save!

His palm had a real touch, but before he could be surprised, the violent impact made the football out of his control again!

After landing, Ter Stegen felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart!

He didn't look back at the goal, but the Chelsea players who were celebrating wildly at this moment had already told him the final result!

This is an exaggerated ending that no one had expected before the game!

Barcelona was scored four times by Chelsea at Camp Nou!

There will be no more suspense!

Barcelona, ​​which was highly expected by the entire La Liga, has fallen at the door of the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

And Chelsea, stepping on their corpses, will continue to rush forward until they realize their ultimate dream of the Champions League!
