311. Hack Barcelona
"I will not arrogantly tell everyone that we are stronger than them!" Wen Sheng made an impassioned speech in the locker room.
"In fact, they are very powerful, and very powerful. They have been operating under the same tactical system for many years and are very familiar with each other. Guys, we may be facing a behemoth today!"
"But no team in the world is invincible! In fact, after Guardiola took charge of Barcelona, they still lost more than ten games. What does this mean?!"
"This shows that we can also be one of them!"
"It's just that we need to find the right strategy! As long as we stick to the tactics we formulated before the game, we may win! But if we are arrogant and want to take the initiative on the court, it will prove that we will die ugly!"
Wen Sheng clapped his hands vigorously to boost the morale of the whole team.
Dealing with the Cosmos Barcelona is a common topic in football all over the world. There is no other way to deal with Barcelona, which is to defend and sneak attacks. However, defending against sneak attacks is also a skill. First, the defense must be good, and secondly, the offense must be unique.
Wen Sheng has been studying Barcelona's defeat in the past few days, and he is also recalling the decline of Barcelona in later generations.
The so-called counterattack is that many teams like to win with speed. Indeed, Barcelona has learned this lesson and was defeated in this way several times.
But the probability of this kind of success is extremely low. Why, do you think it’s nonsense to play total offense and defense like Barcelona?!
Barcelona's retreat speed and position changes in high-position pressing are extremely classic. This is why many teams blindly try to pursue speed, and the success rate is not high at all.
Nowadays, many teams still rely solely on luck when dealing with Barcelona, and their defensive counterattack routines are simple. However, Barcelona's control often flattens the opponent's formation. There is no point for the ball in the frontcourt, and the ball is released from the backcourt.
No matter how fast it is, it is of no use.
The characteristic of Crystal Palace is its high speed, but the above tactics rely too much on luck. Who wants to leave their fate to luck?
Combining Mourinho's approach to playing Barcelona and some of the experience of later generations, Wen Sheng decided that the team's counterattack does not have to be fast, but it must not give up the ball easily. On the contrary, he must compete with Barcelona for possession of the ball.
But this possession of the ball is not to compare the ball possession rate with the opponent, but to allow enough players to go to the frontcourt to become the ball release point in the midfield, and then deliver the ball out.
Of course, we must definitely reduce the control in the backcourt. That method will undoubtedly show off the sword in front of Guan Gong and seek death.
Breaking the opponent's ball control is the key to victory. Wen Sheng's idea is very simple, try to keep the ball at your feet.
Wen Sheng handed over the heavy responsibility of control to De Bruyne. He needed De Bruyne, Kante, Melo and others to exert 200% of their energy.
Barcelona's superiority lies not only in the fact that they have good players, but also in that they have a good system. If the backcourt insists on keeping the ball away from the goal and launching a counterattack as soon as possible, Barcelona will easily intercept the ball and restart the siege because of its good position.
But what if the midfielder strengthens control?!
After getting the ball, don't rush to release the ball, use your personal ability to control the ball first, wait for your teammates to press on, and then release the ball, the success rate will be much higher.
You are allowed to do this to Xavi and Iniesta at Barcelona, but you are not allowed to do this to my midfielder?!
When the time comes, once De Bruyne takes control and you can't stop the ball, it will be very difficult for you.
My counterattack may look slower than others, but in fact it may not be very slow. As long as the players can keep up with the speed in the frontcourt, move quickly, and have a ball point in the frontcourt, Barcelona may not be able to defend it.
What's more, you have Messi who is so cool, why can't my De Bruyne be so cool?!
When the time comes, let De Bruyne be bolder in the midfield and make a breakthrough in the midfield. I wonder if you will panic when the time comes?!
Wen Sheng's response plan has been out for a long time, and he talked to De Bruyne, Kante, and Melo alone to encourage confidence and emphasized the importance of their play in the midfield, not only to defend, but also to control.
Regarding the explanation of tactics, Wen Sheng explained it very carefully and also told everyone why we should do what we do.
"We don't necessarily have to fight a quick counterattack, but we try to make good use of the ball at our feet to increase the quality!"
Barcelona is not so mythical in later generations, and Guardiola is not so mythical anymore. Many teams deal with this kind of control flow tactics in this way. First of all, they cannot counterattack and attack randomly. Secondly, the team must have someone who can control the ball.
Players, a move and an inversion may make a difference.
There may not be many people using this trick now. Even if they use it, many people use the forward as the ball control point, but Wen Sheng has this confidence. Not to mention De Bruyne's ball control, Kante and Melo are not bad either.
,Mello has a body.

"Good evening, fans and friends in front of the TV. Today we bring you the European Super Cup. The two sides are last season's Champions League champion Barcelona and the Europa League champion Crystal Palace!" As the war is about to break out, Martin Taylor
and Ian Wright started the commentary for this game.
"The starting players for both sides have already come out. Barcelona's starting lineup is goalkeeper Valdes, right back Alves, center back partners Mascherano and Abidal, left back Adriano, and midfielder Kai
The front line is composed of Pedro, Messi and Villa."
“Crystal Palace’s starting goalkeeper is Speroni, the right back is Maggio, the center back is partnered by Benatia and McCarthy, the left back is Hills, and the midfielder is De Bruyne, Kante, and May.
It consists of Luo, with Vardy, Mertens and Larsson on the front line."
"Ian, judging from the media opinion before the game, this game will be very unlucky for Crystal Palace. What do you think about this?! Do you think Crystal Palace has the strength to challenge Barcelona now?!" It must be clear before the game starts.
Talk about the game, Martin Taylor leads Ian Wright interactive.
"Barcelona is undoubtedly a great team, but before this game their main central defender partners Puyol and Pique were absent due to injuries. I think this is a positive factor for Crystal Palace. Although Barcelona had previously
Both Scherano and Abidal have played as central defenders, but after all, they are not excellent central defenders. It is difficult to predict how they will perform in this game in this position!"
"In addition, in today's start, Busquets, who has just recovered from injury, did not appear in the starting lineup. I don't know whether Keita can replace him, although Keita has always been a good player, and he is indeed a good player in Barcelona.
Well done, but I think maybe defensively he's an area that Crystal Palace can pick up on."
"As for Crystal Palace, everyone is saying that they are a dark horse. They have done a terrible job with transfers this season, but I think the outside world's evaluation of them is not necessarily correct. In fact, their structure is very good.
This season they have been strengthened in certain positions and their strength is even better than last season. If they were in the same league, it would certainly be difficult for Crystal Palace to challenge Barcelona!"
"But as far as this game is concerned, Crystal Palace has a lot of advantages, and there are many factors that determine the result of the game. I think Crystal Palace can cause some trouble for Barcelona!"
"Wonderful review!" Martin Taylor praised, "Okay, let's get into the exciting game right away!"
Wen Sheng and Guardiola shook hands at the entrance of the tunnel. Guardiola, like a boss, reached out and patted Wen Sheng on the shoulder.
"Hi, great to meet you Daniel! What you're doing at Crystal Palace is simply fantastic!"
Wen Sheng knelt down and licked him at the pre-match press conference. Of course Guardiola was very happy, because Wen Sheng himself is a dazzling figure, and it is a face-saving thing to be praised by Wen Sheng.
"Pep, do you know that I have been looking forward to this game since you won the Champions League?! I have long been looking forward to discussing the world of football with you. I think this game will be a great moment for me and Crystal Palace."
This is a rare opportunity, I believe I can learn a lot from you and this game!"
Shameless kneeling and licking!
Guardiola is happier, anyone else would be happy.
"Learn from each other! Promote each other!"
Chapter completed!
