Chapter 212: Not Just To Win, To Win Decently

This is the first time Pep Guardiola has returned to the Camp Nou as a guest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the game, he turned down an invitation from Barcelona's management to sit with them in the piston's stand, choosing instead to sit in the area of the away Atletico Madrid fans.

This can be regarded as a part of his professional ethics.

Moreover, he is also very grateful to head coach Gao Han for his explanation, so as to avoid being blamed by fans who don't know the inside story.

At this moment, sitting in the stands and watching the game on the field, his feelings are very conflicted and complicated.

"Harvey is young after all. ”

Guardiola sighed as Xavi left his defensive position to steal possession from Atletico Madrid.

For a young professional, the experience gained from playing and training is important, but it is also crucial to find out and position oneself, and the latter often relies on the advice and guidance of the manager and seniors.

As a legend of Barcelona, Pep Guardiola is very optimistic about Xavi, who is also from La Masia, but also regrets it, because in the past few years, no one has been able to help him except Van Gaal.

He's 21 years old, and if he doesn't find a way to find his own way in the next few years, and at the same time suits Barcelona, then his prospects for the team will be dire.

But Barcelona has been in turmoil in recent years, whether it is Ferrer or Rexach, they are obviously not Xavi's mentors, as for teammates, Luis Enrique and Rivaldo are of course superstars, but they can not help Xavi much, and Cocu's style is completely different from Xavi.

Another midfielder, Gabry, has developed a bit off, and Gerrard, who was previously brought back from Valencia with a lot of money, is even more incompatible with the characteristics of the team and is difficult to get a place in the team.

Thinking of this, Guardiola sighed deeply, he really didn't want to see Barcelona's tradition end there.

But now, he is also powerless.

…………

…………

On the football field, tactics are one and the other are closely linked.

As soon as Xavi stepped up, Cocu had to immediately adjust his position.

The two midfielders moved and Barcelona's backline had to react.

Atletico Madrid didn't expect that Barcelona would suddenly grab the ball and really lose the ball.

However, Gao Han's team has a characteristic, that is, the players' tactical execution is high and the arrival rate is also high.

Under the guarantee of double highs, Atletico Madrid's on-the-spot counter-robbery has always been quite well executed, even if the first time is not snatched back, the team can always quickly take advantage of the player's excellent arrival rate, create a local advantage as soon as possible, and contain the opponent's counterattack.

This time is no different.

Xavi teamed up with Cocu to steal the ball, but found there was nowhere to pass around.

The superstars in front of them were waiting idly, and no one wanted to come back.

However, Saviola, who is a new member of the team, has the least qualifications and is most eager to prove himself with his performance.

But it didn't work, Atletico Madrid blocked every line of the ball in front of them.

Xavi's thoughts turned and he immediately passed to the backline.

He knows very well that under the pressure of Atletico Madrid, the ball is a hot potato, whoever catches it in his hand is prone to make mistakes, and can only rely on drumming and passing flowers, constantly passing the ball.

But there's a catch.

Barcelona's much-talked-about possession of the ball is concentrated in the midfield, especially on a few superstar players, but in the middle and back, the ball is obviously not controlled.

After Atletico Madrid decisively pressed forward, a little press, and Cristanwal was directly a long pass.

This would have been fine, as long as the whole team pressed after a long pass, and collectively exerted pressure, even if it couldn't break Atletico Madrid's pressing, at least it could relieve the pressure in the midfield.

But the problem was that when the ball reached the front, Pablo, who started in place of Marchena, blocked Kluivert with his body, and the header pushed the ball back into the midfield, and the Atletico Madrid players cooperated tacitly and controlled the second point in time.

So, the ball fell again at the feet of the Sheets Army.

Barcelona's defence had just pressed halfway through when they found that the ball had suddenly been lost and immediately wanted to go back.

But Atletico Madrid also found out.

Deco suddenly kicked the ball and sent it to Kaka's side.

I saw Kaka, who was originally retreating to catch the ball, suddenly made an emergency stop, received a pass from Deco, turned around, shook off Xavi behind him, and directly accelerated to start.

'Atletico Madrid found the hole, Kaka started from midfield and he looked very confident. ”

"Kaka is very fast, oh my God, who can stop him?"

Koku tried to block Kaka, but was cleverly dodged. ”

"Now Atletico Madrid's trident is a three-on-two in the front, a good chance ......"

"Kaka is at the top of the big penalty area...... Divided into the penalty area ......"

"Torres receives the ball on the right and crosses it to goal!"

"Villa...... The ball went in!!!!"

“goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!”

"In the ninth minute, just nine minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in scoring against Barcelona!"

"It was a very beautiful counter-attack, an assist from Fernando Torres, Villa cut straight behind Cristanboal, calmly pushed the shot, 1-0, Atletico Madrid opened the scoring and broke the deadlock on the field!"

Villa, the scorer, hugged Torres and Kaka excitedly, and Villa's goal would not have come so easily without the excellent dribbling of the Brazilian players and the calm cross from Torres in front of the goal. ”

"As the season progresses, we can feel that the front three of Atletico Madrid are working together more and more, and they often play an unbelievably subtle combination on the pitch. ”

"What's even more exciting is that these three players are not very old, Villa is about to turn 20, Kaka is only 19 and Torres is even 17, but they have formed the most dangerous attacking combination in La Liga this season. ”

"This is the head coach of Atletico Madrid, who is only twenty-four years old. ”

"It was he who set off a youth storm at Atletico Madrid this season, and this group of young guards with the Sheets Army was invincible in the entire La Liga arena. ”

'Conceding a goal in just nine minutes of the opening period, Barcelona is in a bad situation. ”

…………

…………

After Gao Han saw Villa's goal in the coach's box, he stood up happily, hugged Buenaventura and Cantarero next to him, and then shook hands and high-fived the players on the bench behind him one by one to celebrate.

The opening attack is a tactical strategy, the biggest goal is to disrupt the opponent's rhythm from the beginning of the game, and try to grasp the rhythm of the game and possession in your own hands.

As for the goal, it can be regarded as a windfall!

But Gao Han still walked to the sidelines, applauded the players on the field, and signaled them to continue pressing, maintain the pressure on Barcelona, and not relax because they were one goal ahead.

After that, he gave a thumbs up to Torres, who had seen him.

The captain of the Arena de Madrid grinned and smiled happily.

Torres has been more passionate and aggressive on the pitch in recent times.

"A few days ago, this kid suddenly came to me and said that he wanted to practice, and I suspected that I had heard it wrong. Gao Han shook his head with a smile.

Cantarero also smiled, and it was he who was in charge of Torres' training plan.

'He's really trained hard these days, he's been in good shape, and your motivation for him has worked. ”

Gao Han nodded, he was also happy to see Torres's transformation.

It's not that Torres didn't play well before.

On the contrary, for the average seventeen-year-old young player, Torres's performance in the opening period of the league is quite good, but the problem is that Gao Han has higher requirements for him.

He and Villa both have 185 potential, but after half a season of La Liga training, coupled with the Copa del Rey victory, and this season's La Liga training, their improvement is very obvious.

The older Villa has improved the most, and his strength has reached 155, a full increase of 10 points, which is indeed quite rare, and the reflection on the court, Villa is the team's current top scorer.

Torres's strength was originally about the same as Villa's, but in the past six months, he has only improved by five points, reaching one hundred and forty-nine, which is quite rare compared to others, but in Gao Han's opinion, the progress is too slow.

Because of this, after Kiko's state recovered, Gao Han deliberately used Kiko to create some pressure on Torres and urge him to improve, because he had a hunch that the potential of Villa and Torres was likely to go further.

The team has won consecutive battles, coupled with Gao Han's ability to feed with skill cards in every game, and the strength of the players in the team has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Carvalho continued his progress in the Portuguese Super League last season, and in the past few months he has improved again by 10 points to 160, which is the only central defender in La Liga.

Marchena was a little less, up eight points to one hundred and forty-eight, which was not bad.

Deco is the strongest in the team right now, improving by six points to 167 after joining Atletico Madrid.

This value is quite good in La Liga, although it is not the top, but it is also the level of a first-line midfielder.

And the closer you get to the upper limit of potential, the slower progress tends to be.

Xavi Alonso also improved by 10 points to 153, which is also a good improvement.

Gao Han feels that Xavi Alonso's understanding and control of the game has become more and more under the influence of Guardiola, which is far more pleasing to him than the improvement of his strength.

Brazilian striker Kaka, who was praised by the media as the biggest discovery of Atletico Madrid this season, has improved by 13 points to 164 after joining the team, and looks quite promising to replace Deco as the strongest player in the team.

But the biggest surprise for Gao Han was Marcos Senna, the Brazilian midfielder has improved by 15 achievement points in the past few months, which once again refreshed Gao Han's impression of the Brazilian midfielder.

Keeping a low profile and barely having a presence, but conscientiously guarding the midfield and contributing to the team in obscurity, Marcos Senna is definitely the backbone of the midfield that can perform so well.

It is precisely because of the rapid improvement of the players and the excellent performance of the team that Gao Han dared to promise that the winter break and summer transfer will not bring in strong reinforcements, but focus on improving the depth of the bench.

It is also because of the team's strength that he dares to put on a posture at the Camp Nou and fight against Barcelona.

Not only to win, but also to win decently.

Isn't Barcelona what they do best with the ball?

Then he will use possession to break Barcelona!(To be continued.) )
