'Barcelona were in control of the pitch and they pressed Sporting Gijón's half, but it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, they never had any threatening attacking chances!' said D'Agostino. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Sporting Gijón's defense is very resilient, you can see that they have been preparing for this game for a long time, Barcelona's beautiful attack, it was like hitting a wall, no, to be exact, it was hitting several dikes, constantly intercepting that flood and disintegrating!

If Rijkaard had heard the words of the commentator Gonzalez, he would have agreed with his analogy, yes, now he feels the same way, Sporting Gijón is pressing the defense all over the field, under the layers of defense, Barcelona's water-like offensive seems to be constantly blocked and diverted by a few small dikes, so the result is that by the time he arrives at Sporting Gijón's penalty area or in front of the goal, he has lost his edge and sharpness!

Rijkaard got up from the dugout and walked to the sidelines, but he didn't shout or gesture to make changes, he felt that it wasn't time yet, he just quietly watched the situation. Or rather, Rijkaard has not yet found the quickest solution to the problem, and in that case, it is better not to change.

Respond to all changes with the same!

The game lasted less than half an hour, however, Rijkaard did not look so anxious. Despite conceding a goal, he believes the victory will be his own.

Why is Rijkaard so confident? Because although he has not found an effective and quick solution for the time being, Rijkaard has actually seen through Leon's tactics, he knows what Sporting Gijon is doing, and Rijkaard knows what the biggest solution for the opponent's tactics is.

What is it?

It's time!

Rijkaard didn't have a quick solution to the problem, however, he saw through it all, and he saw hope.

***********

Athletic Gijón is a full-court press, and running in such a large area is a very physically demanding job.

It's as if the Sporting Gijón players defended Ronaldinho, and the visitors really managed to stay on the line. It was difficult for Ronaldinho to turn around, let alone attack comfortably.

In addition to Ronaldinho, other Barcelona players, Xavi, Deco, Larsson, Eto'o and others, also have 'bodyguards' to take care of, all the players of Sporting Gijón are put into defense, the front of the penalty area is simply airtight, Barcelona wants to get a threatening offensive opportunity in such a situation, it is too difficult!

However, Rijkaard is not in a hurry at this time!

Because he knew that the running and defense of the Gijón Athletic team at such a high cost of physical strength would not last for 90 minutes, let alone 90 minutes, and it would be good to be able to hold on for 70 minutes with such high-intensity pressing and running defense.

Rijkaard believes that as the game goes on, as the fitness of Sporting Gijón's players is exhausted and the fitness crisis comes, the seemingly impregnable defense of Sporting Gijón will definitely show holes, and that is the time for Barcelona to destroy this opponent with their powerful attacking strength.

Even, in Rijkaard's estimate, in the last five minutes of the first half of the game, after forty minutes of scrambling, Sporting Gijón's players at that time, at the end of the first half, whether physical or psychological, have reached a limit, if Barcelona is lucky, at that time can seize the possible opportunity and give Sporting Gijón a beautiful blow!

Time is the worst enemy of Sporting Gijón!

It is precisely because of this that Rijkaard is not in a hurry, he knows that for Barcelona, the most important thing now is not to be disrupted by the opponent's full-court pressing and physical defense, they rob them, Barcelona still have to stick to their own style of football.

If Barcelona is disrupted by Sporting Gijón's pressing and the midfield is in complete disarray, it is disrupted by Sporting's rhythm. Perhaps, this is the ultimate goal of that Chinese.

***********

Rijkaard wasn't going to let Leon get his wish, and he watched from the sidelines. Then he shouted Harvey's name and made a gesture to him with his hands down.

It's about steady, focusing on me, how to play, how to play, and not to be influenced by the opponent.

Harvey nodded in understanding.

Xavi has the ability to move the ball accurately, has a strong sense of the big picture, controls the situation on the field, has good long and short passes, and has strong concealment and penetrating passes. With gorgeous footwork and rarely conceding the ball with dribbling, it is precisely because of this that he has become a setter for Pep Guardiola and plays a very important role in Rijkaard's tactics.

Xavi then passed Rijkaard's tactical intent to Deco as soon as possible.

Deco is a player that Rijkaard admires, the Brazilian Portuguese is the epitome of modern football's versatile midfield, attacking and defending, meeting all the requirements of the manager, combining Brazilian skill with European discipline.

Deco's dribbling skills are commensurate with his overall technical characteristics, there is no superfluous dazzle, he is completely practical, his reflexes are remarkable, and he is able to choose the most reasonable way to avoid robbery and get rid of opponents in the fastest time.

Deco's speed is more "averaged" into 90 or even 120 minutes of play, and he is always the most diligent player on the pitch from the opening whistle to the final whistle, with both attack and defense, but his instant explosiveness cannot be compared to strikers like Ronaldo and Eto'o.

Deco is never afraid to compete with opponents who are a head taller than him, and he does not even suffer at all, he relies more on his advance judgment of the ball path and landing point, and at the same time uses tenacious will to make up for his height disadvantage.

Before Deco came to Barcelona, he was more remembered for his offensive talent, but after coming to Barcelona, he also began to learn to 'stalk' in the midfield, which is just coach Rijkaard's request to Deco, because compared to Barcelona's commonly used 4-1-2-3, the midfield is too weak for modern defensive football, so Deco is required to participate more in defense, and there are "monsters" like Ronaldinho in attack, and Xavi, who is good at organization, shows that he is not so important! However, in the Barcelona team, Deco's hidden role is very important, he is the most simple and practical kind of player! Although it can't give you beauty, it can make people appreciate the charm of football! For Deco's role, Rijkaard knows best.

For example, Deco and Xavi control the rhythm of Barcelona one after the other, and Ronaldinho is the master of playing the piano on this rhythm, and they work together perfectly to play Barcelona's beautiful football.

***********

With Rijkaard's tactical instructions, Barcelona's players were not in a hurry, and they began to skillfully control the game, looking for opportunities little by little.

Rijkaard returned to the dugout from the sidelines and sat down, although the score was behind, but he is now more at ease, because the rhythm is back to Barcelona's side, for Barcelona, the equalizer is not so anxious, the important thing is to control the football more at his feet, stabilize the situation, and slowly maneuver with the opponent. Then, when the opportunity presents itself, seize it!

Compared to patience, compared to the promoted Polo team of Sporting Gijón, Barcelona has so many stars, they are used to seeing big scenes, they are a mature team, as long as they do not mess up, they are invincible. Rijkaard has this self-confidence.

"Rijkaard is such a cunning old fox......" Leon muttered from the dugout, "the Dutchman still has two brushes." ”

Rijkaard saw his tactical intentions. He also saw what Rijkaard was thinking. This game, such a key matchup, is not only a competition between the players on the field, but also the best stage for the head coach to fight wits and courage. Rijkaard, as the head coach who single-handedly built the Barcelona Dream II team, is definitely the top three world-class coaches in football today.

Facing off against such an opponent, Leon felt the pressure, but he was also inexplicably excited.

There is quite a pride in meeting good talents and chess opponents!
