Chapter 531: Barcelona is Over!

Instead of backing down from taking a goal-leading lead in the opening period, Inter Milan took advantage of the victory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yaya Toure was lively in midfield, with his first goal coming from a midfield tackle, before expanding his coverage and pressuring Barcelona frequently.

Playing four games in a row in seven days, such a high-intensity devilish schedule has caused serious physical problems for Barcelona.

However, Inter Milan is recuperating and carefully preparing for this Super Cup, especially strengthening the tackle and pressure on Barcelona's midfield, which makes Barcelona have frequent passing and receiving errors although they have possession.

The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, took advantage of Barcelona's passing and receiving errors to frequently counterattack.

What's worse is that Gao Han did not retreat like other teams, but decisively advanced the defensive line to Barcelona's half, shortened the counterattack distance, and greatly increased Inter Milan's counterattack threat.

Reflected on the field of play, that is, Barcelona firmly controlled the ball, but never managed to pass the halfway line, but made frequent mistakes, and was repeatedly threatened by Inter Milan, and it can even be said that it was more threatening each time.

Behind Inter Milan, although there is a large gap, Barcelona has never been able to find an effective way to pass through the midfield.

Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi and Samuel Eto'o made several attempts to break through with the ball, but to no avail.

Xavi and Deco also tried to send deep passes, but they were difficult to pass to the feet of the front trident, which made Barcelona passive on the field.

Finally, in the twelfth minute of the game, Inter Milan counter-attacked again.

After the ball was broken in the midfield, Cambiaso made a long pass to find Adriano, the Brazilian striker stopped the ball directly to the right side, McCone inserted it at high speed, and without waiting for the Barcelona defenders to be in place, he directly made a diagonal pass, hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and fell to the back point.

The whole goal pattern was exactly the same as in the second attack, the only difference was that Cristiano Ronaldo, who cut in later, headed the ball high, but this time, the Portuguese quickly shook off Zambrotta, slotted in diagonally to Thuram and headed the ball into Valdés' goal from close range.

Two to zero!

The entire Stade Louis II was transformed into a stage of celebration for Inter Milan.

All the players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the team's second goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaped high and showed his incredible bounce, and then his header was just right enough for Valdés to react.

Barcelona's centre-back Thuram failed to return in time and became the best foil for the Portuguese's goal.

…………

"Wow!"

On the sidelines, Gao Han was so excited that he clenched his fists and cheered after seeing Cristiano Ronaldo score.

This game Inter Milan played very well, it was too smooth.

In just about ten minutes, two goals were scored in a row, and the game could basically judge the trend.

But this is clearly not enough.

Therefore, Gao Han walked to the sidelines again, drove all the players who were celebrating back to the court, signaling them to continue to increase the pressure on Barcelona, continue to press, and continue to strive for goals.

Next to him, Guardiola looked straight at the head, looking puzzled.

He was born in Barcelona and knew the quality of this team, but he wondered why this was happening.

Yes, Barcelona does have physical problems, playing four games in seven days, the iron man can't stand it, but it won't be like this, and it is still the opening 12 minutes to concede two goals in a row.

According to the stats he received from Sergio Garcia, Barcelona had more than 70 per cent possession, while Inter Milan had only 28.9 per cent, a huge disparity.

Ironically, Barcelona haven't had a shot on goal so far.

"Do you understand?" Gao Han noticed Guardiola's doubts and asked with a smile.

Guardiola smiled a little wryly, "I really understand now what you said, that possession is just a means, not an end. ”

"That's right. Gao Han nodded, "The possession itself is neutral, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, but for me, if the possession can't be converted into an attacking threat, then I'd rather not, and I'm even willing to give up possession." ”

But when he heard this, Guardiola noticed a light smile on the corner of Gao Han's mouth.

"If you don't want to have the ball, others won't be able to grab it. Guardiola shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In this match, Inter Milan faced Barcelona, the team he loved the most in his life.

"Of course, how could I let someone else kill me in the way I do best?" Gao Han laughed.

Speaking of this, Gao Han's expression was solemn, "Rijkaard made several very serious mistakes in this game, first, physical fitness is a problem, but he did not adjust the team's tactics in time, and he still encourages the frontcourt players to play individually as before, which will not work in the case of serious lack of physical fitness." ”

Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi all did not perform well in this game, they lacked cooperation with each other, and they were more one-on-one, wanting to rush when they got the ball, and relying on their individual ability to open up the situation.

When they are full of physical energy, they are unstoppable, but the physical consumption is serious, and the technical movements are deformed, how many threats do they have?

This pot can only be carried by the head coach!

"Rijkaard is still inexperienced. Guardiola sighed.

"It's more than that. Gao Han smiled, "Generally speaking, teams that adopt the pass-and-control style of play are very taboo, that is, conceding the ball too close to their own goal, especially in their own half, which is a big taboo." ”

Regarding this point, Guardiola has also heard Gao Han say before, so Gao Han has to play high pressing and pressing, so as to minimize the risk of conceding goals in his own half.

It stands to reason that Rijkaard should also understand this, but after the opening of the high cold, he pressed directly and pressed, forcing Barcelona to retreat, coupled with the lack of physical fitness caused by continuous battles, Barcelona could only be suppressed in the half.

In this case, once Inter Milan has successfully broken the ball, it is generally able to form a shot directly within two foot passes.

That's why Barcelona had so much possession and didn't have a shot on goal after the start of the game, while Inter Milan got a lot of shots and had two goals.

It can be said that in this case, the more Barcelona have the ball, the faster they will die.

Of course, there is no way to resolve it.

Rijkaard could have slowed down the tempo and guaranteed the success rate of passing, but it was clear that he was taken out of rhythm by the cold after the opening, which directly caused the pace of the game to soar, and he didn't notice it yet.

Perhaps, when Rijkaard notices this, he will consider slowing down, but then Gao Han should not resort to this kind of opening tactic.

"Of course, there is also the problem of whether it is big or small, which is that our trident has suppressed Barcelona's backline, forcing them to be unable to stay close to their midfield as usual, resulting in a gap between the three midfielders and the backline, which is deadly. ”

When Gao Han said this, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he was already holding the victory.

It is clear that from the very beginning, Rijkaard was toyed with by Gao Han and completely lost the ability to resist.

In this game, Gao Han taught Guardiola a vivid lesson.

…………

…………

"Inter Milan continue to be aggressive. ”

Veron shifted the ball to the left and Patrice Evra dribbled forward quickly and passed to Cristiano Ronaldo. ”

"The Portuguese took the ball, cut inside decisively, and suddenly got up and hit the goal!"

"Danger!"

Valdés flew to save the ball. ”

'It came very suddenly, and Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was quite threatening. ”

'Inter won a corner. ”

……

In the manager's office at London's Harrington training ground, there was silence.

Jose Mourinho and his assistants were watching the live TV on the wall.

It has been more than 20 minutes since Inter Milan attacked Barcelona, but the Nerazzurri have not shown any fatigue or the slightest sign of suspending the offensive, which makes everyone incomprehensible and incomprehensible.

What's even more puzzling is that Barcelona haven't had a single shot on goal so far.

This is simply unreasonable!

"His starting tactics in this game have kept Barcelona at bay and have no power to resist. Villas-Boas was shocked.

He is the assistant coach who is best at tactical analysis under Mourinho, but after watching Inter Milan's starting tactics in this game, especially in the first 20 minutes of the game, he really had no other reaction except shock.

It is unbelievable that Barcelona, the champion of the Champions League and the superstar Barcelona, has been suppressed so badly.

But that's how it all happened.

Excuses such as lack of fitness and poor form do not explain Barcelona's predicament at all, and the only thing that is certain is that Rijkaard was completely crushed by the cold.

"I've said long ago that without Ten Carter, Rijkaard wouldn't be in trouble at all. Mourinho's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

The reason why he invited his assistants to watch the live broadcast of this game together was to see if Gao Han could give an effective way to restrain Barcelona.

As it turned out, Gao Han did not disappoint him.

As far as the opening tactics are concerned, Barcelona is restrained to death.

……

'Veron takes a corner and crosses into the box. ”

Valdés was very precise and decisive and sent the ball away. ”

"Didn't fly far, landed on the edge of the box, Yaya Toure got the ball and picked up the cross into the box. ”

"Ibrahimovic direct volley!"

"The ball is in!!!!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”

In the third goal, in the 28th minute, Inter scored the third goal of the game. ”

"Barcelona is defeated!"

"The reigning champions of the Champions League, but in the Super Cup, Inter Milan scored three goals in a row. ”

"It can be seen that in the last seven days of playing four games in a row, Barcelona's physical consumption is very serious, and the whole game cannot keep up with the rhythm of Inter Milan, which led to Barcelona's opening rout. ”

"3-0, Inter Milan has basically sealed the win in advance. ”

……

"It's over! Barcelona is over!"

Mourinho patted his thigh hard, shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, Inter Milan is too strong, especially the offensive ability of the front trident, which can't be defended at all. ”

"Luckily, we didn't draw them. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"But is there really no turnaround?"

Mourinho shook his head, "The game has come to this point, the winner is decided, if Rijkaard doesn't want to lose even more, then he has only one way to go." ”
