This is Wansheng's second time to come to Camp Nou.

The last time was in the 2008 Champions League. In the first leg of the semi-finals, Manchester City played against Barcelona. In the end, Manchester City took away the victory 2-0, which also allowed Manchester City to easily eliminate Barcelona in the second leg to enter the final.

For a long time, Barcelona had always regarded that game as a shame.

So when Wan Sheng coached Atletico Madrid and met Barcelona, ​​the Catalan media began to shout revenge.

Now is Wansheng's second time here at this stadium.

The mentality of the two arrivals is different. Compared with three years ago, Wan Sheng is more nervous and serious, because in 2008, Rijcalde's Barcelona was already on the decline, while Guardiola's Barcelona is at its peak.

Three years have changed a lot.

Looking at the fans around, Wan Sheng also lamented that time flew away. Fortunately, he was not like other coaches, and was only coached by the top team in his seventies and eighties.

He is still young enough!

Atletico Madrid players who played the game were more or less nervous. The newcomers of them have also experienced the environment of the Bernabeu Stadium. Now the Camp Nou Stadium is really not bad at all, and it is even more unfavorable to the team.

The Spanish Football Association will not consider any derby factors in the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so there are only a pitiful 8,000 fans of Atletico Madrid, and the rest are all Barcelona fans.

At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid players could feel the ubiquitous hostility in the stands.

Barcelona fans are now quite hated Atletico Madrid. They keep booing in the stands to interfere with the performance of Atletico Madrid players.

This kind of scene is no worse than the Madrid derby!

But Atletico Madrid players still try to keep their minds as stable as possible. Each of them remembers what the coach said in the locker room just now, "Don't pay attention to those fans. They are afraid of us and make noises!"

"The louder the noise, the more they are afraid. Otherwise, why would they not do this when playing against the little ball? That's because the little ball will not threaten them at all!"

After thinking about it, everyone thought Wansheng’s words made sense.

Barcelona fans are afraid that Atletico Madrid, the team has enough strength to win the game, so they are afraid that Barcelona will lose, so they use this despicable method to interfere.

So Atletico Madrid players also stabilized their mentality and carefully integrated into the game.

Barcelona launched a storm-like attack against Atletico Madrid at the beginning with his home advantage!

It is no exaggeration to describe a storm.

Almost all people watching the game have a similar feeling. Atletico Madrid made Barcelona unable to pass the half-time game. Before the game, Atletico Madrid coach Wan Sheng said that he was fighting against Barcelona and scored a few more goals in Barcelona, ​​which was not reflected at all. Instead, Barcelona scored a few more goals in Atletico Madrid.

In the first ten minutes, Barcelona had complete control of the game.

The data in the hands of Bob, a broadcaster of Spanish National Sports TV, illustrates the problem, "Barcelona's possession rate reaches 74%!"

74%!

It doesn't sound much, but Atletico Madrid's possession rate is only a pitiful 26% of the ball, nearly twice the difference from Barcelona. Such a high gap represents the situation on the court.

"Barcelona led the game!"

The Catalan media shouted excitedly, as if Barcelona had defeated Atletico Madrid by a big score.

Barcelona fans at Camp Nou were also cheering excitedly. Before the game started, they had confidence in Barcelona, ​​but they were not sure that the team could win. After all, Atletico Madrid is not such a team that is easy to deal with. Their home score in the last round was proof of their victory.

But now, they are full of confidence!

What does Atletico Madrid count? They said they wanted to score more goals and played against each other, but what was the result? They didn't even have the strength to play against each other, and were completely suppressed by Barcelona!

This is Barcelona!

Let those people in Madrid see how big the gap is with us!

Every Barcelona man cheered and was proud to be able to completely suppress Atletico Madrid, except head coach Guardiola.

In Guardiola's opinion, the situation is definitely not that ideal. The key point is that so far, Barcelona has only shot two times, one shot from the outside, and the other time in the penalty area, he was forced to shoot. Villa had to barely take a kick in the face of the defense of the two, but ended up playing a plane and the football flew out of bounds.

Both shots did not pose a threat. Perhaps it could be explained by the poor condition of the frontcourt players, but how can the team's offense be unable to find an opportunity?

In addition, almost all Atletico Madrid players are crowded near the penalty area. They are using tactics to defend. Messi cannot run in the middle and is closer to the penalty area. The team's short pass cooperation has become a problem.

These remind Guardiola that the game is not that simple.

What's going on?

Guardiola was a little confused. His first reaction was that the players were in poor condition, but this idea was quickly out of his mind. Barcelona's absolute main lineup was played, and each player performed well alone, and there were no mistakes. Therefore, the team's condition was fine. Moreover, the individual player's condition was not good, which could not affect the whole team. Even if Messi was very outstanding, Barcelona has never relied on stars. Tactical and exquisite cooperation were the key to the team.

After that, Guardiola began to observe.

One minute.

Three minutes.

Ten minutes.

Soon the game had been in 20 minutes, and Barcelona's offensive progress was still not much. There was nothing else except that Villa's volleyball shot caused a threat 14 minutes ago.

Guardiola has discovered that Atletico Madrid has put a lot of effort into defense!

Atletico Madrid is not a 442 or 4231 that they usually play, but a 4321 formation or 451 formation. Except for Aguero who is in front, all other players are participating in the defense. The defense of the nine players in the backcourt also makes Atletico Madrid's third-line stable as a rock.

Barcelona is good at launching offensives from the wings. Iniesta and Xavi are both the world's top players. They have very strong ball control and breakthrough ability. The team relies on the flying of both wings to expand their offensive choices, making it difficult for the opponent to limit defense. However, the opponent's two "side and back midfielders" Raul Garcia and Mario Suarez can run with the fullback, greatly strengthening the defense on the wings.

Logically speaking, if the defense on the wing is tight, the middle will be weaker.

There can be Messi in Barcelona's middle!

Messi's breakthrough is a major offensive method for the team!

But it is not the case in the game.

Atletico Madrid has Morris in the middle, two forwards Ozil and Reyes also keep retreating. In addition to the two central defenders, Atletico Madrid almost blocked the front end of the penalty area. Messi wanted to break through and had no space, and it was quite dangerous to cooperate with his teammates.

Atletico Madrid relied on orderly and intensive defense to block the left, right and middle routes.

This is also the reason why Barcelona's offense is unfavorable.

But

Didn’t that young Chinese say that he wanted to have a match against Barcelona? What’s the point of attacking like this defense!

Guardiola understands.

Not only him, but also the Catalan media and fans, were fooled by that Chinese!

Atletico Madrid is not going to play against any counterattack!

They completely wanted to defend the goal!

When it comes to tactical play, defensive counterattack is more suitable, but judging from the previous 20 minutes of the game, counterattack can be removed. Atletico Madrid will only fight a small counterattack when the defense is absolutely safe.

They don’t seem to care whether they score or not!

Guardiola saw that Atletico Madrid had no intention of playing against Barcelona at all, and some professional football commentators also saw that the commentators who supported Barcelona began to criticize Atletico Madrid's conservatism.

But there are some media that didn't see it, of course, including most Barcelona fans, who are very happy to see Atletico Madrid being suppressed in the half and have no power to fight back.

They all began to look forward to Barcelona's goal!

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid fans were a little worried. There were 8,000 Madrid fans who came to Camp Nou to support the team in this game. They watched the game without saying a word and would discuss the team's crisis with each other.

Many fans were puzzled.

Atletico Madrid's performance this season has made all fans very satisfied. They all think that the team is not much worse than Barcelona, ​​so at the Camp Nou, playing head-on attack with Barcelona will not be so passive, right?

After 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid only had a few attacks, and even failed to hit a threat!

They have been worried about the team, but as time goes by, some fans have also discovered that Atletico Madrid has not played against Barcelona, ​​and the team's tactic seems to be to defend seriously.

Defensive counterattack?

Many fans thought of this word, and they couldn't believe it.

They always felt that Atletico Madrid is Spain's top offensive team. Instead of using offense to win, they focus on defense. Will there be a chance to win in this way?

Commentator Fernandos Sanchez Bob was also surprised: "It seems that Atletico Madrid does not mean to play against Barcelona. They have been defending all the time. We can see that Aguero has frequently retreated!"

"Perhaps, this also shows Barcelona's strength, but Atletico Madrid has definitely changed its tactics, otherwise the game would not be like this anyway." To be continued.
Chapter completed!
