Chapter 91 Shameless and cruel
What is the purpose of changing tactics?
Thinking of this question, Fernandos Bob felt a little stupid.
Change tactics in the game, of course, to win, but in the game on the court, Atletico Madrid counterattacks are very small. Can they really strive for victory? No matter how you think about it, it is really a bit whimsical to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Barcelona?
Barcelona is a team that is never afraid of defensive counterattack!
One example can prove that in the past two seasons, Barcelona has won a complete victory in the past two seasons!
The British team is undoubtedly the representative of defensive counterattacks. Defensive counterattacks are the foundation of the British team. Every British team can play a decent defensive counterattack. However, in the past two seasons, Barcelona has proved with the score that it is unrealistic to rely on defense to defend the goal.
Fernandos-Bob thinks this way.
They all felt that it would be a very unwise choice if Wansheng wanted to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Barcelona.
Some Catalan media suddenly flashed the spirit gate: "Is it...is it because the Chinese is afraid of Barcelona? Yes! Only this reason can explain why the opponent abandons the offense he is good at and mainly chooses defense!"
Thinking of this, they suddenly became happier.
Everyone thinks that Atletico Madrid wants to rely on defense to defend the players. If the game continues like this, Barcelona will definitely be the first to score and lead until the end.
But soon they found out that they were wrong.
Let’s talk about it first, Atletico Madrid’s defense is not useless, but... the effect is very obvious!
In the first 2O minutes of the game, only Villa in Barcelona made a threatening shot, and other attacks did not pose a threat.
In addition, Atletico Madrid is not without counterattacks.
Atletico Madrid's counterattack in this game is also different!
Wansheng demands "concentrate on the advantageous path to fight fast attacks."
In defense, Atletico Madrid frequently uses its number and physical advantages to hinder Barcelona's offense, and Messi is the main target of defense in the middle.
Whenever Messi gets the ball, Morris will keep up as soon as possible.
Morris is the "middle and back midfielder" of the 4321 formation. Wan Sheng asked him to move forward and back in time, and he became a central defender at the back, and the front midfielder is the back midfielder, so he directly faced Messi.
Messi never took Morris seriously... Or rather, he never thought Morris was his competitor. In Messi's eyes, the only one who could become his opponent was Real Madrid's BSP; Morris was also very famous and played well at Atletico Madrid, but after all, the two were not from the same age. Morris was already 33 years old, and Messi did not think that the other party posed any threat.
But when it really happened to the game, Messi realized Morris' strength.
It's just defense.
Morris's skills are not inferior to Messi at all. His physical ability to fight is stronger than Messi. Although his explosive power is worse, Morris played from the low-level league, and many of his experiences and methods are not comparable to that of a "gifted genius" like Messi.
These are Morris' advantages.
Messi has a great advantage. He is the offensive side, and the offensive side always has the initiative, but when facing Morris' defense, he doesn't have much to do.
When Messi got it, he immediately felt a huge impact coming from one side.
It's this guy again!
Messi has been stolen twice before, and he dared not underestimate Morris at all, so he protected the ball tightly and did not allow Morris to have any chance to steal the ball.
Messi planned to make a breakthrough, but it was difficult to deceive Morris with a series of foot movements.
So he planned to pass the ball.
At this time, Messi realized Atletico Madrid's tight blockade on the middle. Ozil and Reyes retreated. They were all standing a few meters away to limit Messi's passing route to Xavi. Alves' distance was too far, Iniesta was squeezed by Felipe Luis, and forward Villa stood between the two central defenders, or in other words, the two opponent's defenders blocked the angle where Villa might receive the ball.
If you want to pass the ball over, you can only pass the top, but Morris' pressing makes Messi have no room to pick the ball.
what to do?
Messi planned to wait for his teammate to pick him up, but after taking two steps to the left, he still couldn't find a pass opportunity. Instead, Ozil suddenly ran over and broke the ball under his feet one by one with Morris.
"hateful!"
Messi is very calm on weekdays, but he also has a temper. He was also a little angry when he was intercepted by the opponent.
Wan Sheng saw this scene on the sidelines and nodded with satisfaction.
He asked for this effect.
In order to limit Messi, Wan Sheng did a lot of work. When explaining defensive tactics before the game, it took nearly an hour to just go on Messi.
How to limit Messi's breakthrough?
How to block Messi's passing route?
These are all problems.
Just two or three players will have no effect on players like Messi. If one player goes up one by one, it is likely that Messi will be thrown away directly.
That would definitely not work.
That's why Wan Sheng has formulated a series of running positions and pressing to target Messi. Not only this game, but also has top stars against opponents in the future, such as Real Madrid's Ronaldo. Seeing the effect, the pre-match arrangement will not be in vain.
Messi should have a headache now!
But Messi should be content, that is, the back line and midfield line, 5 and 6 players running together, and the targeted defense of pressing! Not to mention that there are players such as Morris, Ozil, etc. The team sacrificed a lot of offensive abilities just to limit his swing.
Which player in the world can receive such treatment?!
That's Messi!
Even Real Madrid's Ronaldo did not have it. When playing against Real Madrid, Wan Sheng allowed the team to defend Ronaldo. However, Real Madrid does not have the strength of Barcelona, so even if Ronaldo can score, it doesn't matter much, because... Atletico Madrid will score more goals!
When Messi was restricted from his death, Barcelona's midfield offensive was greatly affected.
Next they plan to find opportunities from the sidelines.
Iniesta, Alves, and Barcelona's two wing players are definitely the top in the world, but when they get the ball and want to break through, they find that they always have to face the defense of the two.
This is also Wansheng’s targeted layout.
The two "left and back midfielders", Mario Suarez and Raul Garcia, played a role. Almost most of the time, they would stand in front of the corner of the penalty area to prevent Barcelona from attacking on the wing.
With the support of two full-backs, they could not move forward by dribbling the ball from the side, so they could only cooperate with their teammates.
But Messi was defended to death in the middle!
They passed the ball back again and again, then preached it, and then passed it back again... With continuous cycles, time slowly passed, but the opportunity never found.
Faced with Atletico Madrid's tight defense, Barcelona suddenly realized that they had no choice.
Of course, there is actually a way to tactics.
If Barcelona is a traditional British team, Atletico Madrid's detailed defense is meaningless. They just need to keep passing to the penalty area and let the striker compete for the point, and create enough threats.
But... Barcelona is different!
Even forward Villa is not very good at catching headers, and other forwards, such as Messi and Iniesta.
Barcelona is not good at that kind of "simple and rough" style of play at all.
In this case, what should Barcelona do?
Guardiola has a headache. He couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while. Atletico Madrid's defense is too strict, especially the players on the field are not bad. Several Barcelona frontcourt players can't swing, and it doesn't make sense for other players to insert it.
Maybe the media can help him...
The game has been going on for minutes now, and even those who can't turn their minds can already react - it turns out that Atletico Madrid is not fighting against Barcelona at all!
Atletico Madrid’s focus is defense!
When he saw Barcelona could not find the opportunity, the Catalan media immediately became anxious. They began to criticize Atletico Madrid and criticize Wansheng-
"This Chinese is simply shameless! Before the game, he clearly said he would play against Barcelona! Now he has played defense and has not even counterattacked!"
"Atlancia Madrid almost put a bus in front of the goal, and the competition was not possible at all!"
"This is conservative football! It is utilitarian! Spanish football has resisted utilitarianism! We want to boycott!"
"Atlantic Madrid is almost becoming a British team! No, they are more conservative than the British team. Atletic Madrid has no offense at all! They have completely given up on offense!"
"That Chinese is going to defend the whole game like this, and then take a point away shamefully at the Camp Nou Stadium!"
"Maybe he can only do this, because Barcelona is too strong, but he is destined to not succeed. No team can hold on to Barcelona for 90 minutes..."
“…………”
Wan Sheng doesn't care about the Catalan media's statement. It is normal to use any means to win, let alone play more defense.
Moreover, this game is so important!
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have the same points in the league, and the two teams are going to compete for the championship in the Copa del Rey again. As direct competitors, a away victory is priceless!
As long as you can defeat Barcelona, Atletico Madrid will be able to dominate the league competition. So far, both teams have only lost six points. It is not advisable to rely on Barcelona's mistakes to obtain points. The best way is to defeat them directly.
As long as you can get a 3-point advantage, Wansheng believes that the team will be able to continue the advantage until the end of the season!
On the contrary, the same is true.
If Barcelona wins the final victory, then Atletico Madrid will be like Real Madrid, with only a few points gap, but no matter how you win, you can't catch up.
This is the current competition for La Liga championships!
cruel!
Very cruel!
So for the sake of victory, let alone the Catalan media is not satisfied, even if the media around the world are not satisfied, he will still let the team do that! (To be continued.)8
