For many years, the UEFA Super Cup has been a chicken-like existence. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Each year is scheduled to take place after the draw for the group stage of the Champions League, which coincides with the start of the major leagues and the national team competition in September, making such a game a burden for both participating teams.

Therefore, the UEFA Super Cup has not been taken much seriously.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the Louis II stadium, which has a capacity of less than 20,000 people, would have been moved out of the stadium long ago.

But this year's UEFA Super Cup is markedly different.

The whole European football world knows that Pep Guardiola was born in Barcelona and is a disciple of Cruyff, but as a professional coach, he has been exposed to the cold for a long time, not only witnessing the rise of the Sheets Army at Atletico Madrid, but also assisting the cold to reach its peak at Inter Milan.

It can be said that Guardiola has taken the best of both worlds, which is very consistent with the pass-and-control style of play he has advocated since taking charge of Barcelona.

At the age of thirty-seven, in his debut season in charge and a triple winner in the Champions League, Guardiola reached his peak as soon as he debuted.

Although Gao Han has always deliberately avoided talking about Guardiola, everyone can see that the Barcelona coach has been personally passed on by Gao Han, and his philosophy is very similar to Gao Han, but he is different from Gao Han in his personal understanding of football.

The same is true for another manager, Valencia's new boss Unai Emery.

The manager, who is the same age as Pep Guardiola, is arguably one of the most impressive managers in La Liga this past season.

All fans who are familiar with Gao Han know that Emery was Gao Han's right-hand man when he coached Atletico Madrid, and later after coaching alone, he has been doing well, and was favored by Almeria in La Liga in 06 years, and brought this La Liga team into La Liga in one season.

As a result, in his first season in La Liga, Almeria won the ninth place in La Liga as a dark horse, and his performance against the giants was quite good, especially the 2-0 home defeat to Real Madrid and the 2-2 draw with Barcelona were extremely impressive.

Unai Emery made a name for himself with his excellent coaching last season and was valued by Valencia as he coached the Bat Army, beating Real Mallorca 3-0 in the first round of La Liga this past past year to get off to a good start.

What's even more impressive is that Unai Emery's coaching style is also deeply influenced by the cold, focusing on high pressing and pressing, and insisting on passing and controlling the style of play as the core, which immediately makes people see the cold brand on him.

The two former assistants shined in La Liga and European football at the same time, and the Spanish national team won the European Cup with Gao Han as a technical advisor, all of which made Gao Han's football philosophy more respected than ever.

Even for this UEFA Super Cup, the UEFA Technical Committee also attached great importance to it, and invited all the famous coaches and guests who will participate in the annual European Coaches Summit to sit in the chairman's stand and watch the game live.

There is no doubt that this match will be a central topic at the upcoming European Managers' Summit.

Moreover, Gao Han and Pep Guardiola will both deliver keynote speeches, which is the second time that Gao Han has delivered a speech on such an important occasion.

At this moment, in the stands, many European coaches are watching the game intently, and at the same time, they are constantly discussing every move of the game.

"Barcelona are really good on the ball and they almost have that in their blood and in their bones. ”

"Yes, you look at Xavi and Iniesta, they have a tacit understanding, plus Busquets, Pique and Puyol in the back, they are all from the academy lineage, and they are quite tacit in themselves, and they touch the ball quickly and steadily. ”

Chemistry and passing, which was the biggest headache for Barcelona last season, was the core of their ability to maintain an impressive rate of possession, and many people in the field suffered from it, but there was nothing to be done.

"But you see, from the first half so far, apart from Samu Eto'o's goal, did Barcelona have a decent chance?" Ferguson asked, pointing to the pitch.

There are all famous coaches on the field, and they all know very well that at least 80% of the credit for Eto'o's goal goes to Messi, and Messi is purely relying on his personal performance, and that kind of brilliant play is impossible to prevent at all.

Strictly speaking, Marcelo did not make much mistakes in the defense on that occasion, but it was a pity that he met Messi, and if Bayern Munich lost this game, Marcelo would be the target of criticism from all fans.

But in fact, he did his best.

That defense was changed to any defender, and I am afraid it would be difficult to defend against Messi.

"The defensive style of Gao Han's game was very characteristic, Vidal had a lot of range of movement and played a sweeping role, Schweinsteiger and Modric were more important to stand in the position, check and fill in the gaps, and Barcelona's midfield was contained. ”

Carlo Ancelotti felt that Gao Han's midfield formation was interesting and worth taking a closer look.

In a way, Vidal is like Gattuso, acting as a-stirring stick.

"And that's not all. Arsene Wenger shook his head, he is known in Europe as a master tactician and a great passer.

"I remember that Gao Han once told me that the most threatening part of the pass-and-control style of play is to push the team's possession area to the front of the opponent's 30-meter area, the reason is very simple, to control the ball in this area, pull the opponent's defensive formation, as long as the opponent's defense has a hole, immediately seize it, and launch an attack in the shortest possible time, create a threat, and even score goals. ”

Wenger said this, just in the stadium, Barcelona's ball went to the front and handed it to Henry, but Henry was defended by Lahm and was forced to pass back to Iniesta, Robben defended back to the middle line, forcing Iniesta to pass back to the backline, and the Dutch Flyers also rushed to the defense for the first time.

Barcelona's three midfielders were forced to retreat to their own half to receive passes from the backline, while Bayern Munich's midfielders pressed in unison to set up a block in the Barcelona half.

"Gao Han's defense in this game is very strong, the focus is on Barcelona's three midfielders, with three forwards to suppress the backline, and then with Vidal to grab Busquets, forcing Barcelona to withdraw the midfield, and then achieve the goal of suppressing Barcelona's three midfielders in the half. ”

Heynckes also agrees with Wenger's judgment, "After the midfield withdrew, the distance between the three attacking players in the front field increased, and then by blocking the ball and advance of the three midfielders in the front court, Barcelona's attack was disjointed. ”

Judging from the process of the game, Bayern Munich's defensive formation is very meticulous and orderly, Barcelona has the ball, but it is difficult to pass through the midfield, it is difficult to attack Bayern Munich's 30-meter area, and can only constantly move back and forth on the periphery.

Sergio Busquets dragged on at the end, with Xavi and Andres Iniesta both pinned down the halfway line, creating a gap between them and the three attacking players up front, making it difficult for the team to effectively pass the ball up front.

If, before the game, everyone was speculating about how Gao Han would restrain Barcelona's possession tactics, then now, Gao Han can be said to have given a satisfactory answer.

But this style of play is not something that can be used by any team, at least one Vidal, and two Schweinsteiger and Modric with high tactical execution.

"But in this case, Bayern Munich is still inferior, Barcelona has already scored a goal, has a certain advantage, if Gao Han still fails to come up with a more powerful counterattack, this game is still difficult to win. ”

"The midfield is pressed so high, once the pressing tactics don't work, and Barcelona quickly plays in front of the defense, then the possibility of conceding another goal is very high, and two goals behind is already desperate for Bayern Munich. ”

Barcelona is good at possession, and now most of the ball is at the feet of Barcelona, so more people are still optimistic about Pep Guardiola's Barcelona.

But Heynckes didn't see it that way.

'The ball is spinning in Barcelona's half, you can say Barcelona have possession and can create a threat when they pass to the front, but I can also say that Barcelona's midfield is full of minefields, as long as there is a mistake in passing and receiving the ball, Bayern Munich catches it once and plays a counter-attack, then they are dead. ”

Ferguson nodded and sighed, "Yes, the scene is very stale, both sides have opportunities, and they are both insisting, whoever can't bear it first will make mistakes, and Barcelona's goal advantage is just a little bigger than their opponent's." ”

When the game came to this point, the competition between the two sides was no longer about strength, but about who was less likely to make mistakes.

Sometimes, however, the more critical it gets, the more likely it is that problems will arise.

Sergio Busquets was entangled by Vidal from the opening kick-off, and during a pass, he accidentally passed a little less forcefully, although Xavi also rushed ahead of Vidal and passed the ball directly back to Busquets, but Aguero suddenly returned from the front and jumped out from behind to poke the ball to Modric.

The Croatian midfielder didn't wait for the ball to stop, and curled the ball straight to the left wing.

Ribery cut forward quickly and finally caught up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, but Alves was quick to get back and get stuck directly behind Ribery, forcing the Frenchman to the touchline.

Barcelona central defender Puyol also stepped forward for the first time to attack left and right, and Pique was standing in the penalty area ready to help.

I saw Ribery with his back to the penalty area, after protecting the ball, without waiting for Puyol and Alves to form a sandwich, suddenly a feint made a feint to deceive Puyol and bring the ball to the bottom line.

Alves and Puyol caught up behind him at the same time, Puyol pounced in front of the baseline, and Pique also followed for the first time.

The intention of the three defenders is obvious, I block your passage into the penalty area, you can just take it out of the bottom line yourself.

But Ribery is not tall, but very flexible, dribbling to the bottom line, suddenly a sudden stop, deceived Puyol into thinking that he was going to cross, frightened to stop quickly, turned around to block, at this moment, Ribery grabbed a gap in front of Puyol and the bottom line, stabbed the ball to the penalty area, turned out of the bottom line, and quickly chased up.

Barcelona's three defenders surrounded Ribery at the same time, but even so, the French Scarface still relied on Limbo's micro-step-like footwork to bring the ball out of the three's bag.

Valdés blocked the left-hand post to block Ribery's angle, and Abidal and Sergio Busquets were already too busy to pounce.

As soon as Ribery caught up with the ball, he directly returned a pass from the bottom line, and Vidal, who quickly followed in the middle, directly met the ball and sent the ball into the Barcelona goal.

At this moment, Gao Han on the sidelines jumped up from the ground, clenched his fists, and shouted.

The audience cheered, and Gao Han turned his head, glanced at Guardiola, and smiled provocatively.

Is it great to score first?

I've scored a goal too!
