Chapter 211: Gao Han's Trap

Early morning, October 28, Beijing, China. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A bar located in Xicheng District, which is quite well-known among fans of the capital, is full of people and bustling.

The strong smell of alcohol fills the air, and the energy of the large flow of people gathered in the enclosed space, so that anyone who walks into this place can feel a wave of heat rushing towards their faces.

But unlike other bars, everyone in this bar is standing in front of a big TV.

On the TV, a pre-match advertisement on CCTV's sports channel was playing.

In the tenth round of La Liga, which attracted national attention, Barcelona sat at home to face Atletico Madrid, and the focus game is about to kick off.

As the banner giants of La Liga, Barcelona is also widely loved by fans in China, but tonight, here, and even the vast majority of fans in the country, only support one team, and that is Atletico Madrid.

A burst of dangdang sounds came from the bar, attracting the attention of everyone in the bar.

"Tonight, if Atletico Madrid wins again, you don't need money to eat and drink here!"

A young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, standing behind the bar, announced loudly.

The piece of good news immediately drew cheers from everyone in the bar.

"Captain mighty!"

"That's amazing, Captain!"

"Captain, Captain, I love you like a mouse loves rice!"

If Gao Han was here, he would be surprised to find that the bar owner who announced that he was going to treat him was the captain of the amateur team who casually pointed a few words in the park that day?

His name is Xiang Tianming, the second generation of the rich, his family is engaged in the real estate business, but he has little interest in this industry, but he has liked football since he was a child, and he formed an amateur team with a group of like-minded friends during college, and he is well-known in Beijing.

After graduating from college, he came out to start his own business and opened this fan bar.

Since the last time he was fortunate enough to get Gao Han's guidance in the park, Xiang Tianming has admired Gao Han so much that he has become a die-hard fan of Gao Han, and since the Spanish Super Cup, he has announced the same decision in every Atletico Madrid game.

As long as Atletico Madrid wins, all the food and drinks in the bar are free.

At first, he just wanted to have fun with a group of regulars in the bar.

Unexpectedly, the bar became famous in one fell swoop, and it became popular directly in Beijing, attracting more and more fans.

Not to mention that on match days, there is almost a rush of people, and even on non-game days, it is still packed.

Although Atletico Madrid's new season is a succession, but at the end of every month, the bar not only did not lose money, but its profits skyrocketed.

Because of this, Xiang Tianming simply continued this tradition.

This shrewd Beijing guy has even begun to plan to rent the adjacent shop next door, open it up, and expand the business area of the bar.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the sound of a television came from the bar speakers.

"Audience friends, welcome to CCTV. ”

"What is about to be presented to you is the 01-02 season, the highlight of the 10th round of La Liga, Barcelona hosts Atletico Madrid. ”

"The game is about to start, so I'll give you a recap of the two teams before we wait for the live signal. ”

"First of all, the home team Barcelona, the traditional giants of La Liga, is currently fifth, the results are not very good, the manager is not under pressure to be under pressure, and they have just played Lyon away for 90 minutes in the Champions League group stage in midweek, and finally beat Lyon 3-2 thanks to a late Rivaldo goal. ”

"After three days, there is another tough battle, and Barcelona have no advantage in the schedule. ”

"Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, also participated in the UEFA Cup this season, but this week is a rotational rest, there is more time to prepare, and our head coach from China, Gao Han, said before the game that although the team is playing away, it is aiming for three points. ”

"Here, we also wish Gao Han another victory in advance!"

"Well, we've received live signals from Europe. ”

'Now we're looking at Barcelona's starting line-up. ”

"Barcelona has a characteristic this season, the home team is a 442 formation, and the away team is a 4231 formation, a heavy attack, a balance, and this game, Lexage also once again discharged the 442 formation. ”

The goalkeeper is Argentina international Bonano, the left-back is Italy international Francesco Koko, the two centre-backs are De Boer and Cristanval and the right-back is Barcelona's youth Puyol. ”

The two midfielders were Xavi and Cocu, Rivaldo on the left wing, Luis Enrique on the right, and Saviola and Kluivert up front. ”

"Normally, if it's a four-two-three-one, Rexage will take Saviola, go on Ovimas, and let Rivaldo switch to a midfield position, which could be a change of formation for him in this game. ”

"Let's take a look at Atletico Madrid. ”

Goalkeeper Petr Cech and Jankulovski, Carvalho, Pablo Ibañez and Dario Srna at the back, with main centre-back Marchena suspended for a red card in the previous round. ”

The midfield three were Deco, Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna, and it is worth mentioning that former Barcelona captain Pep Guardiola did not appear in the starting line-up or even make the squad for the game. ”

According to Catalan media reports, this is because Guardiola had a verbal agreement with manager Gao Han before joining Atletico Madrid, and he does not want to face his old club. ”

However, before the game, Gao Han had clarified in an interview with the media, he admitted that there was indeed such a verbal agreement, but Guardiola took the initiative to find him before the game, saying that he was willing to play against Barcelona for Atletico Madrid if the team needed it, but Gao Han said that he would prefer Guardiola to stay ready for the second leg of the League Cup in midweek. ”

"Atletico Madrid's front three, Kaka, Villa and Torres. ”

"The home team Barcelona have drawn two and lost one in the last three league rounds, without a win, but the away team Atletico Madrid is in hot form, and the new season is already nine consecutive wins, not only breaking Spain's 40-year-old league start record, but also constantly breaking this record. ”

Before the game, head coach Gao Han also confidently said that the team will continue this form. ”

But Barcelona coach Rexage promised fans that Barcelona would be unbeatable at the Camp Nou. ”

"Now, let's see who is going to die in this game. ”

…………

…………

At the start of the game, Atletico Madrid did not seek to settle first like other teams at the Camp Nou.

The cold team pressed hard from the beginning, putting on an all-out attack, vowing to attack Barcelona to the end.

In particular, the high pressing defense that the Sheets are best at made Barcelona have to temporarily retreat to the half.

But Atletico Madrid was unforgiving, in addition to the front trident, Deco and Marcos Senna also actively pressed forward, and even the two full-backs actively stepped forward to participate in pressing and pressing.

This made it difficult for Barcelona to hold the ball from the very beginning of the game.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid, in the rhythm of fast and slow, firmly controlled the ball in their hands, and kept testing Barcelona's defensive position.

Lexage frowned from the sidelines.

As soon as Barcelona show a flaw, Atletico Madrid can threaten.

"This damn guy doesn't play his cards according to common sense at all!" Lexage scolded.

His so-called common sense is that the away team should shrink their heads and not rush in.

Which team will come to Camp Nou to attack from the start like Atletico Madrid?

"Tell the players to hold on, hold on and don't leave their positions easily. ”

As soon as Rexage explained, the assistant coach immediately ran to the sidelines to convey it to the players.

Atletico Madrid is best at this kind of penetrating attack.

Cruyff wrote in his column that Atletico Madrid's most threatening points lie in two points.

One is to use the player's cross-position movement to pull away the defender and create a defensive hole when he is in possession of the ball.

The other is that when the opponent is in possession of the ball, he holds the position with three backs, forcing the opponent to make it difficult to create a threat in the middle, and has to move to the side to create attacking width.

However, in this way, the formation will have to be pulled apart, the defensive hole will be bigger than usual, and once the ball is broken by Atletico Madrid, it will be quite dangerous to instigate a counterattack.

Lexage has also carefully studied Cruyff's remarks, and naturally knows the danger.

Therefore, the strategy he gave was also very targeted.

Since Atletico Madrid is going to attack at the beginning, then I will hold it firmly first, let you attack, and then hit you to counterattack.

But gradually, as time passed, he sensed that something was wrong.

Atletico Madrid not only dominated the tempo on the field, but even the possession, which Barcelona has always been proud of, stole it.

I saw that on the field, once Atletico Madrid lost the ball, they immediately increased the tempo and snatched the ball back in the shortest possible time.

But once they got the ball, when the first counterattack failed to work, they played very steadily, and even controlled the ball in the middle and back slowly, and fell back and forth.

This scene happened at the Camp Nou, and it directly angered the fans in the stands.

It's like an axe in the class, you know?

Who doesn't know that the best ball control in Europe is our Barcelona!

You slings, playing ball control in front of us, what do you mean?

The fans in the stands were boiling and boosing, but on the field, Atletico Madrid sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and continued to control the ball slowly.

Especially Gao Han, who was standing on the sidelines, even grinned when he looked at Lexage.

His obnoxious look seemed to say, haven't you always prided yourself on possession of the ball?

Now, your little life is in the hands of Uncle Ben, do you want it?

Get it!

Lexage was a little angry, but his sanity told him not to be fooled.

With the stars up front not actively involved in the defense, Barcelona had to press forward to have a chance to get the ball back.

Isn't this just falling into the trap of the high cold?

But at this moment, on the field, midfielder Xavi pounced. (To be continued.) )
