Chapter 538 European Super Cup (2)
"Don't look at Barcelona's several coaches in recent years. Whether it is Cruyff, Robson, or Van Gaal, Barcelona's tactical style has never changed much. They always use personal skills and small-scale cooperation to control the ball, and then rely on the passes between players to tear open the opponent's defense line and score." This is a very good study of Barcelona's Capello's analysis for the players, "So, if we want to defeat or even defeat Barcelona, don't mess with the opponent too much about the ball. If they want to pass, let them pass in the midfield until they die!"
"Boss, what do you mean is that we will play a defensive counterattack in this game?" Redondo's eyes lit up when he heard Capello say this, and he asked hurriedly.
"That's right!" Capello nodded with satisfaction at the Argentine's reaction and continued, "Barcelona's offense is very strong, but in contrast, their defense is very bad. Nadal and Couto are excellent defenders, but Rezig and Barjuan are both heavy attacks and light defenses. So, if we play defensive counterattacks, their two central defenders will be directly exposed to our firepower, and it will naturally be easier to score goals."
"Ronnie, and Christian, it's up to you two at this time!" Capello said while writing and drawing on the small blackboard, "Christian, your task is very important in this game. Not only should you fight with the opponent's defender as high as the frontcourt, but you should also attract their firepower as much as possible to bring in enough space for Ronnie to counterattack. As for Ronnie, I don't think I need to say anything more about your mission, right?"
Vieri and Ronaldo nodded calmly, playing football in an Italian team. They were quite familiar with the defensive counterattack tactics. They did not need Capello Doga's instructions, so they naturally understood what they should do. What Capello needs to give advice is more of some fine adjustments in specific details.
"Except for them, the rest of the people must retreat when defending and block the area 30 meters in front of the goal! Remember the content of the training these days and block Barcelona's offense in the bud!" Capello thought for a while and added, "Also, when we control the ball, don't give the opponent too many sets the opportunity to counterattack on the spot. Try to use one shot and pass the ball to Christian and Ronnie in the frontcourt!"
"No problem! Boss!" *N
When the referee of this game, Merck saw that both players were already in their respective half-time positions, the "dentist" blew the whistle in his mouth and announced that the European Super Cup final officially began!
"The game started, and Barcelona took the lead in driving the ball... There are many highlights in this game, such as the grudge between Capello and Barcelona. In the last showdown, Barcelona lost even his underwear under Capello. I don't know if Barcelona can complete revenge this time; in addition, Davis and Van Gaal's master-apprentice showdown; of course, the biggest highlight is whether Fiorentina can complete the feat of three consecutive European Super Cup championships!"
Just as the commentator was chattering, Barcelona, who had the ball rights, took the lead in attacking the goal of Fiorentina, but...
Guardiola looked at the moving Great Wall composed of Fiorentine players in front of her, frowned, and cursed in her heart: These Italians! Sure enough, they used their turtle shell tactics to exert!
No wonder Guardiola is so depressed. In the eyes of Barcelona, football is the two teams that conquer their opponents through continuous attacks, using skills and passes. Defensive counterattacks and iron barrel formations are definitely the most destructive of the beauty of football in their eyes! They are contrary to the trend of football development!
Obviously, in the eyes of Barcelona players, Fiorentina is such an artistic team.
If Zhuang Mingge knew about their ideas, he would definitely complain to him. Those who know that you have good offense and don’t strengthen defense are brainless! Besides, who stipulates that the game must be played against each other? Don’t always impose your ideas on others!
In this game, Fiorentina's starting lineup was: goalkeepers Toldo, Robert Carlos and Zambrota were separated. Since Barcelona's offensive line did not have a strong center in the purely technical flow route, the central defender partner was Ferrara and Nesta.
The most surprising thing is the midfield combination in Fiorentina. Capello's choice surprised everyone. The four midfielders are Dibiagio, Redondo, Davis and Tomasi. In other words, Capello actually sent four midfielders in this game in one go!
The forward configuration is quite normal. Vieri continues to beat Batistuta as the starting center, and his partner is the alien Ronaldo. This combination of high and fast, coupled with Fiorentina's surprising midfield configuration, can be seen if it is not a fool. In this game, Fiorentina is planning to fight Barcelona's counterattack!
Zhuang Mingge sat in the VIP box and watched the game in Fiorentina as always, but at this time his attention did not focus on the players running on the court, nor on the TV screen in the box, but stared straight at the coaching seat in Barcelona, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
"Hey, Tony, what are you watching?" Seeing the people around you staring at the stadium with a very abnormality, Karin squeezed to Zhuang Mingge and asked curiously, "Is there anything strange about the coaching seat in Barcelona?"
"Ah, nothing, I'm just looking at the coach next to Van Gaal." Zhuang Mingge briefly explained to Karin.
"Jose Mourinho is currently the assistant coach of Barcelona." As the full-time secretary of Zhuang Mingge, the hand-off manager, Carin usually keeps a lot of information in her head for emergencies. Obviously, it came in handy at this time. "Before this, he was a full-time translator of Coach Robson, but he did the job of an assistant coach. This summer, Robson was recuperating due to illness, so Mourinho chose to stay in Barcelona as Van Gaal's assistant coach... Why, Tony, are you very interested in him?"
"I think this Mourinho is very interesting. See if you can find an opportunity to dig him into Fiorentina in the future." Zhuang Mingge of course couldn't tell Karin that this young man who is just an assistant coach now will become one of the top coaches in the future, right? It would be strange if he is not regarded as mentally abnormal by the other party...
