Chapter 554: Peerless Twins?

Leon is satisfied, the tactics he has set for the team are actually a change after the combination of Christmas tree tactics and wide midfield tactics, Modric's role is similar to that of AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo, dragging the playmaker, while Ribery and Juan Arango form a two-sided midfield, which is a pioneering move that makes up for the absence of a midfielder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The biggest feature of this tactic is not to entangle with the opponent in the midfield, use the width of the field, use the pass to play the ball behind the ball, use the wing, and avoid Barcelona's midfield stars, which is tailored by Leon for this game and Rijkaard's Barcelona.

Rijkaard didn't get furious on the sidelines over the goal. For today's game, Rijkaard was very well prepared, he could not have thought of the situation where the team would concede the goal first, if there was something that surprised him, it was that he conceded so quickly, but after coming out of the depression after conceding the goal, Rijkaard was relieved that it was better to concede a goal at the beginning of the game than to concede a goal at the end of the game, which meant that there was almost the entire game left for Barcelona to turn the game around.

Rijkaard stared at the field, he had calmed down, he was thinking about the mistakes he had made before.

He didn't expect Leon to let Diego start, which is really unexpected, because Diego Milito has been out of action for more than two months after recovering from injury, and has not officially returned so far, and his status is unknown, he didn't expect Leon to trust Diego Milito so much, and in such an important game, he directly let Diego Milito start.

Because of this, he did not make any specific arrangements for Diego Milito in his pre-match preparations. As a direct result, other players did not know how to deal with Diego Milito on the field.

Of course, this is not to say that Barcelona's players don't know how to play without the manager's advice and arrangement, but the starting of a certain player is not only the meaning of the player's own existence, but also represents the team's tactical change in a sense.

Perhaps ten minutes into the game, Rijkaard's tactical instructions were passed on, and the players on the pitch could also cope with the change by adjusting themselves, but this counterattack by Sporting Gijón came too quickly, and the Barcelona players had not yet reacted, and the goal had already appeared.

In addition, the tactical position that Modric played today also caught Barcelona off guard, Modric has always been placed in the right midfield position by Leang, or sometimes he will form a double back with Carlos, and occasionally play in the forward position, so in today's game, in the case of Carlos and Marcos have formed a double back, Modric starts, and Sporting Gijón adopts a single forward tactic, which will make Barcelona people subconsciously think that Modric will be the forward of Sporting Gijon.

***********

It's a mental inertia!

It is this inertia of thinking that makes Barcelona suffer, when Sporting Gijon's attack was launched, Modric's position was very deep, and the distance between Carlos and Marcos was very close, which made Barcelona's players a little confused, and did not understand what role Modric played in the opponent's tactics today.

Modric is close to the two midfielders, the most direct effect is that he can get the football as soon as his teammates counter-attack, and then, this Croatian youngster, beautiful possession, after getting rid of it, quickly passed a wide range of passes, Sporting Gijon did not intend to pass through the midfield through the pass and cut at all, and once the ball was transferred, it tore apart Barcelona's defense.

Barcelona, which has not yet entered the game after the opening, the powerful Barcelona, has been broken through like this.

Although the goal was partly due to the mistake of Marquis and Belletti, Sporting Gijón's tactics were successful on a tactical level.

Rijkaard gritted his teeth, he had to admit that Leon was cunning, and at the same time, this Chinese was clearly a master of psychological warfare. is very good at figuring out the psychology of others, he predicted his own habitual thinking, and did the opposite, catching Barcelona off guard......

***********

Rijkaard smiled bitterly, and he had to admit that he had made the mistake of empiricism. In studying Leondi's starting lineup and game tactics, some things were taken for granted.

He predicted that Sporting Gijón would play against Barcelona, so Barcelona did not put Marquis in the midfield position today, but let the Mexican play back to his old job as a central defender. The combination of Deco and Gyuli, in addition to Deco's certain ability to fight and intercept, Barcelona's midfield basically has no defensive ability, plus Ronaldinho and Eto'o on the front line, today's game, Barcelona is a purely attacking lineup, and the midfield lacks protection.

This is also one of the reasons why Modric's transfer of the ball can tear apart Barcelona's defense so easily!

The more Rijkaard thought about it, the more he felt that Leon was simply too cunning, guessed all his ideas, and made the most-for-tat arrangement.

This opponent has improved a lot from the last time they met, and it is even more terrifying.

The last time the two sides met in the league, Sporting Gijón and Barcelona had a big offensive battle, which certainly surprised Rijkaard and caused Barcelona to lose, but in that matchup, Barcelona didn't know much about Sporting Gijon, was very unfamiliar, and was caught off guard. This also explains Leon's methods to a certain extent, but that was an encounter, in Rijkaard's view, it was a special case, he thought that if he met Sporting Gijón again, he would definitely be able to learn a lesson and win, but this time again, Sporting Gijón adopted conservative tactics, and in the conservative tactics, there were so many killings and traps hidden, which was amazing. At least in the eyes of Rijkaard, who is currently the most direct sufferer, Leon has improved a lot and is more difficult to deal with.

***********

Rijkaard got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and gestured to the players inside.

He wants Puyol to step up his defence against Diego Milito and stop allowing the Argentines to have easy shots. He believes that with Barcelona's captaincy and experience, as long as Puyol is alert, the likelihood of Diego Milito wanting to get any good chances will be greatly reduced.

At the same time, Rijkaard also asked Deco to pay attention to the interference of Modric, although Deco is not a defensive player, but the Portuguese can attack and defend well, so that Deco can interfere with Modric to a certain extent, it can still be done, of course, more critically, Barcelona's current midfield, in addition to Deco, the defensive ability of other players is even worse, sacrificing Deco's offensive talent to limit Modric, Barcelona also has Xavi, Andres Iniesta, as well as attacking geniuses such as Giuli and Ronaldio, are not worried about attack.

Rijkaard after review and reflection, did not choose to make substitution adjustments, the game only started for more than a minute, naturally it is impossible to change at this time, Rijkaard can only make adjustments on the basis of the existing starting lineup, his adjustment is very direct, the key players of Sporting Gijon Diego Milito and Modric focus on defense, Modric seems to be the initiator of Sporting Gijón's attack today, and Diego Milito, as the only center, is to some extent the only offensive fulcrum of Sporting Gijón, as long as these two points are held, Sporting Gijon's counterattack can basically be contained.

Then, all Barcelona have to do is play with the quality of the attacking cluster and try to score as soon as possible to equalize or even overtake the score.

***********

Rijkaard's adjustment was expected by Leon. Because if Diego Milito had been indifferent after seeing his attacking role and Modric's central role in the goal, Rijkaard would not have been the most popular young coach in football today.

That's right, the 43-year-old Rijkaard is considered to be the representative of the young coaches in European football, and another representative of the 'young players' is Jose Mourinho, who led Porto to the UEFA Cup last year. After seeing Cruyff's success, Barcelona turned to the Netherlands as a spiritual guide. From Cruyff of the Dream Team, to Van Gaal, to Rijkaard, the Dutch blood has been relaying at Barcelona. During this period, Koeman, Overmars, the De Boer brothers, Kluivert, Cocu, Reziger, and Zenden, the Dutchman has always been present at the Camp Nou. Rijkaard's return to the Barcelona dynasty shown by Rijkaard under Barcelona this season has been praised by the media.

Compared with Rijkaard, as for Leon, who is not yet thirty years old, he is called a 'young marshal', and he also belongs to ' Young Zhuang's category, Leon and Rijkaard, two people, one led a super dark horse, the other led Barcelona to rebuild its glory for many years, and has been leading the La Liga standings before, as the results of Sporting Gijon are getting better and better, these two people echo each other, the duel between the two of them is considered to be the biggest attraction of La Liga this season, however, because Rijkaard is famous, Leon is from the grassroots, before the media was generally optimistic about Rijkaard, not only optimistic about Rijkaard's present, but also optimistic about the future prospects of the Dutchman……

For this comparison in the media, Li Ang is very interested. He knows the historical trajectory of the future, knows the success of Rijkaard at Barcelona, the Dutchman who was born in the Milan dynasty when he was a player and built the dream team of the Barcelona dynasty in his coaching career, is the best coach of this era, and can be compared and confronted with Rijkaard's nomination as a twin star, which also shows the recognition of Leon by the media and football.

However, for most of the media are optimistic about Rijkaard, the proud Leon is high-spirited, he is full of war, and the peerless pride of La Liga is obviously not as majestic and proud as a monopoly.

As for how to confront or even solve Rijkaard's Barcelona, Leon has a lot of ambitions!

***********

Barcelona in the Rijkaard era focused on the control of the ball, emphasizing large-scale mobilization in attack, and interspersing in depth, especially in front of Ronaldinho's penalty area to attract defense or kick the wall to make a one-two, or pass diagonally on the other side, this kind of attack was not uncommon in the game at that time. Deco can be said to be good both offensively and defensively, and he is basically the player who violates and is violated the most in every game, which complements the strength of the defense to a certain extent.

But Rijkaard didn't solve two problems well, one was to break the dense defense, and the other was to defend the opponent's defense. Breaking the dense defense is a worldwide problem, especially Barcelona according to the original historical trajectory, after winning two championships at that time, the La Liga team faced Barcelona, took the initiative to shrink, bilateral retreat, forming a local personnel advantage, resulting in excessive density in the half, once the midfield set up a strong beast waist, Barcelona more often had to pass back to the foot, unable to pass the depth, lack of skills. At that time, Barcelona's return pass was inverted, and it could not effectively consume the opponent's physical strength, because Barcelona's return pass was mostly a static inverted foot at that time.

Therefore, if Barcelona can't take the lead in scoring at this time, it will lead to impatience, so that the more anxious it is, the more it can't solve the problem.

Faced with the problem of breaking dense defense, Rijkaard has been pursuing high school forwards, from Maximi Lopez to later Gudjohnson, Rijkaard's choice shows that he is helpless to break the secrets, and has to pin his hopes on high school forwards.

Another unsolved problem of Rijkaard's tenure is defense, in terms of individual ability, Barcelona's defense can be said to be the top match at the time, Puyol, Belletti, Van Bronck, but Barcelona's defense did not form a whole, especially in air defense and anti-rapid counterattack. The so-called no whole, refers to the time after the frontcourt player loses the ball, although it is also actively pressing, but can always let the opponent find the passing point, the opponent is not entangled in the midfield, three feet and two passes to the front court to find the center, the center or sit too much to the fast striker, or directly behind the back.

In the process of scoring at Sporting Gijón, Leon's tactics perfectly restrained Barcelona, and tore apart Barcelona's defense directly behind him, which is the reason.

***********

In the media seat, the famous reporter and critic of the French newspaper "Team Newspaper" Victor was crackling on the keyboard of his notebook, he conducted an in-depth analysis of the blitzkrieg goal of Sporting Gijon, and finally came to the conclusion that Leon was superior to Rijkaard, and almost perfectly restrained Barcelona's tactics, and the reason is basically similar to the previous paragraph: Rijkaard's Barcelona defense did not form a whole, and Leon's Sporting Gijón crossed the midfield and went straight to the hinterland's tactics, simple, effective and direct!

Victor, who was quite excited, finished writing this instant comment analysis, and after checking it unfinished, he sent it directly by email, and about ten minutes later, this report comment appeared on the official website of the "Team Newspaper", attracting everyone's attention.

At this time, on the field, the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, and after losing the goal, Barcelona did not launch an attack at the first time, but stabilized for a few minutes, in case Sporting Gijón took the opportunity to attack.

However, the thunder is loud and the rain is small.

Barcelona faced a dense defense at Sporting Gijón and struggled to find the back of the net.
