Chapter 88 The way to play Barcelona
Jose Fernandez Guti is a former Real Madrid superstar and vice captain. In November last year, due to dissatisfaction with the team's signings and the newly appointed head coach Mourinho, Guti and Besiktas terminated their contract and became a free agent. They have not signed with any team so far. Many media believe that Guti will directly choose to retire.&...
Now seeing two arch rivals from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, both want to win the Copa del Rey at the Bernabeu Stadium. As the representative star of Real Madrid, Guti expressed his attitude on his R. "The Copa del Rey final cannot be held at the Bernabeu anyway. Why can't Real Madrid play the Copa del Rey against Zaragoza at the Camp Nou? Why do Real Madrid always make concessions every time? Although we are gentlemen, we should also think about ourselves when necessary. Bernabeu is our own, of course it is up to us to decide. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are delusional!"
There is a reason why Guti's statement is so tough.
As early as 2004, Barcelona refused to provide Camp Nou for the Cup final of the Kings. At that time, the two sides of the game were Real Madrid and Zaragoza. Real Madrid naturally couldn't swallow this and had a greeting.
This also shows that the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona has long extended from the game itself to other aspects.
Later, other Real Madrid stars and celebrities also expressed their opinions, opposing the Bernabeu Stadium becoming the final venue of the Copa del Rey.
So the Spanish Football Association had to give up.
Then choosing the venue will become a problem. The Spanish Football Association issued a statement saying that a meeting would be held in early March to determine the venue. At that time, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid would send representatives to participate in the discussion, which would definitely be another quarrel.
In short, the King's Cup final venue was once again "difficult".
———
As one of the teams participating in the finals, Atletico Madrid has no obligation to take a step back in the discussion of the final venue of the Copa del Rey, so they also participated in the discussion to win benefits for the club.
But in fact, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are not focused on the finals of the Copa del Rey, because the two teams are about to fight.
In the 22nd round of La Liga, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid met again.
The venue for the game is Camp Nou Stadium.
Before the fight with Sevilla, Wan Sheng had already formulated the game tactics.
The main tactics are naturally the ‘b-tf’ system, which is the most suitable way of playing for the team. Using the adaptive way of playing can ensure performance.
The game formation has changed.
Wan Sheng is preparing to let the team play 4321, which is the formation the team has adapted to, and it focuses very much on defense.
Wan Sheng emphasized two points - defense and fast attack.
In terms of defense, Wansheng has more arrangements. In the 4321 formation, players on both sides must constantly reclaim to the position of the side and back midfielder to suppress Barcelona's encroachment on the wing space, and create a situation of multiple players siege and pressing in the local area, and also make up for the full-back who is snatching up.
This is the top priority of Wan Sheng's emphasis on defense.
The 4321 formation can also be said to be the five midfielders. When necessary, all five midfielders must be recycled to turn the team formation into a '5 midfielder' to stabilize the front of the penalty area, including the defense on both sides.
For the middle, it is necessary to use intensive defense to limit Barcelona's core player Messi.
Messi's breakthrough is too threatening!
Messi must be restricted in the game against Barcelona, and the use of intensive defense to limit Messi's breakthroughs. Multiple players siege to limit Messi's personal ability performance, and at the same time limit the cooperation between Messi and forward players is also the focus of Wan Sheng's emphasis on defense.
In addition, the core defensive player is Morris.
For victory, Morris needs to contact the back line and the midfielder. When returning to the back line, the team will become a three-center-back formation, and then move forward and become a three-center-back. Triangular running defense can allow Morris to contact the midfield and the central defender to prevent the first point from being broken, ensure the blocking of the ball behind Barcelona, and limit the over-top passes that Barcelona is good at.
This is just a brief narrative in terms of defensive tactics.
Wan Sheng has formulated a very detailed defensive style. He has detailed explanations for each player who plays, just to let them know how to do it in the game. Each player has a detailed running and defensive route, and when encountering situations, he has formulated a detailed list for everyone to listen to.
Just talking about the defense against Barcelona took more than two hours.
In terms of offense, Wan Sheng emphasized - concentration and speed.
At any time, we must concentrate a large number of people to attack, and the speed must be fast, so we cannot give Barcelona a chance to fight off the attack.
With normal large-scale advancement, Wansheng has basically given up.
The team has good offensive ability, but if it enters the rhythm of "playing against the opponent", it will be too difficult to defeat Barcelona.
Although Wan Sheng is very confident, Atletico Madrid's strength is definitely not far from Barcelona now. Barcelona is at its peak. They can easily defeat their opponents in almost every game, regardless of the Copa del Rey or the league. Sevilla, Valencia, Real Madrid and other teams all lost to Barcelona one by one. Now it is Atletico Madrid's turn. Even if they defeat Barcelona with a big score in the first leg, no one dares to say that Atletico Madrid still has a chance.
Yes, I don’t even dare to say the opportunity!
Barcelona has become the "cosmic team". It is impossible to defeat them by normal playing style and condition, especially in the game that Barcelona attaches great importance to.
The media is sighing!
Europe is lamenting!
Wan Sheng was also sighing!
Even if he has the football training master system in hand, he dare not say that he can score Barcelona's results, but Barcelona has performed such glory in reality.
But even if Barcelona is strong, it is not invincible.
Wan Sheng formulated a tactical style of play based on the way Real Madrid played in memory in the 2011 Cup final.
Without Atletico Madrid participating, Mourinho will lead Real Madrid to the final of the Copa del Rey and defeat Barcelona in the final to win the Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid has achieved "impossible".
It is precisely because of the "impossibility" in the eyes of the media and fans that the final has become a classic in history.
This was the way Mourinho adopted at that time. Real Madrid kept emphasizing defense, not just 4 defenders and 3 backs. When necessary, they could transform into 5 defenders and 4 backs, or even 9 backs. Constant and dense defense, coupled with occasional fast breaks, allowed Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona.
Wan Sheng remembered that game clearly.
So he also learned from the lineup and made some minor adjustments to adapt to Atletico Madrid's lineup. Only by playing with this kind of "bus stuffing in front of the goal" can truly limit Barcelona and strive to "create miracles" to win.
Wan Sheng has absolute authority in the team.
As early as a week ago, Atletico Madrid began to train this defensive tactic that can be called "shameless".

As the game approaches, media from both sides also begin to hype the game.
The match with Barcelona is the top of the league, and both sides are the direct competitors of the King's Cup, so a battle of words is definitely indispensable.
In the third round of the league, Wan Sheng talked about 'Barcelona's revenge' before the game, "Are they revenge on me? What a pity that they are not a Premier League team, otherwise they would have called for revenge a few more times."
After the game, he said, "Next February, Barcelona can take revenge again!"
So the Catalan media dare not say revenge.
That is simply like giving the talk to the Madrid media, giving the Madrid media a reason to ridicule Barcelona.
The bonds between both sides must be getting deeper and deeper!
Barcelona is now stronger than Atletico Madrid. They are not only in a good league format, breaking the record of winning streak in La Liga and are expected to set the highest points in La Liga so far. The Copa del Rey has entered the finals. At the same time, Barcelona also entered the quarterfinals with a record of 5 wins and 1 draw in the UEFA Champions League without any suspense. Barcelona's opponent in the knockout round is Arsenal, but almost no one is optimistic about this Premier League team that has always performed poorly in the Champions League.
Barcelona's various competitions are so strong that the club and the media have the confidence.
Two days before the game, Barcelona Club President Laporta had already said, "This game will make that Chinese look good!" That gritted teeth and made people know how angry he was about Wan Sheng.
When talking about the last leg loss to Atletico Madrid 1-5, Laporta also emphasized, "That was just an accident. I admit that we played badly at the start of the game, but it's different now!"
The whole Barcelona team is also full of confidence.
In addition, this game was played at the Camp Nou Stadium, and Barcelona was even more confident. Before the game, all the stars and celebrities stood up to provoke Atletico Madrid.
"World Sports News" even came out and fired --
"...The last time the two teams met, Barcelona was in a bad state, but as Laporta said, 'It's different now'. Atletico Madrid only defeated Barcelona by taking advantage of the unexpected surprise of the newly reorganized team. They did not fight Barcelona head-on, it was a despicable victory, a stolen victory, not a convincing victory."
"Barcelona is in good shape now, and it has been continuing to win in a row. The team is full of fighting spirit. At the Camp Nou Stadium, Barcelona has the belief and reason to win, because in this game, victory will definitely belong to Barcelona!"
