Chapter 708: Don't Worry, There's More!
For some time, Barcelona has been mired in the controversy over Catalonia's independence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason for the incident came from Barcelona striker Thierry Henry said in an interview with the newspaper La Vanaga that Catalonia is not Spain, they are completely different things, and Barcelona also has its own distinct history.
As a result, the remark caused an uproar throughout Spain.
Everyone knows that Catalonia's independence is not a matter of one or two days, but this is Spain's rebellion from the government to the common people, and Henry's words undoubtedly unveiled this layer of rebellion.
As a result, Thierry Henry, an outsider, was subjected to unprecedented accusations, and Barcelona was pushed to the forefront of national independence, especially the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
Even if it has been a while since the incident, in the stands of the Camp Nou, it is still clear that there are two groups of fans with different positions, playing tricks in the stands.
This made Gao Han, who walked into the Camp Nou from the players' tunnel, shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Kick the ball, play the ball, why bother with politics?"
It is obvious that Gao Han's attitude in private is that Henry's remarks are very inappropriate.
As someone who has lived in Barcelona and Madrid for many years, Gao Han is well aware of the political atmosphere in Spain, and this kind of debate has been around for a long time, but as an outside player, is it necessary to get involved in such a turmoil?
Sergio Garcia, who was following him, sneered after hearing this, "He has been in an awkward situation in Barcelona over the years, he is a lot older, but he has not done anything, he joined with the aura of a superstar, but he was suppressed by Eto'o and Messi and others, and now even Xavi and Iniesta are above him." ”
"His approach is the same as Cruyff's approach back then, wanting to integrate into the Catalan region and gain the approval of local fans, which is opportunistic, and it is natural to be sprayed. ”
After saying that, Sergio Garcia turned and walked to the away team's dugout, leaving Gao Han with a disdainful back.
Gao Han and Tuchel both looked at the tech maniac in amazement, not expecting his ass to be so firmly tilted to one side, but no wonder, he was a native of Madrid, and it was normal for his ass to be crooked to one side.
"Do you want to tie him up with a rope?" asked Gao Han solemnly.
"Why?" Tuchel wondered.
"I was afraid that after a while he would lose control and rush out to demonstrate. Gao Han smiled.
Tuchel also laughed, where does Sergio Garcia look like that?
Even if he is, he probably doesn't have the courage, after all, this is Camp Nou, isn't he afraid that the fans at Camp Nou will make him unable to get out?
Seeing Pep Guardiola in front of the home team's dugout, Tuchel said a word to Gao Han and turned to leave.
"Ha, congratulations, my friend, Christina also asked me to convey her wishes. ”
"Thank you. ”
The two hugged cordially at the exit of the players' tunnel, and the congratulations of the Guardiola couple were mainly for Gao Han's newborn child, who had a good relationship with the Gao Han family since Guardiola played for Atletico Madrid.
"I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon. ”
Gao Han looked at Guardiola with a smile and teased: "This is not necessarily a good thing for you." ”
"How do you know?" Guardiola asked with a laugh.
Both of them laughed, with their friendship, not to mention that it was only a semi-final, even if it was really the Champions League final, they would still be able to talk and laugh, and they would not take a game into account at all.
"How's it going, how have you been preparing lately?" asked Gao Han.
"Good. ”
"Not necessarily, right?" Gao Han was a little skeptical, "Playing Getafe and Valencia away, you didn't perform well. ”
Both of these matchups were related to the championship and Barcelona will certainly give it their all, but the results were not very good.
"That's because we deliberately saved our strength to prepare for a fight with you. Pep Guardiola laughed.
"Really?" Gao Han smiled, "It seems that you don't plan to let me walk out in this game." ”
"Of course. Guardiola raised his eyebrows, looking vicious, but quickly leaned in and laughed in a low voice, "I have prepared a few bottles of good wine, I must let you lie down and go out." ”
Gao Han understood his intentions, this was to celebrate him.
It's just that drinking is really not what he's good at.
Seeing Gao Han's bitter expression, Guardiola was quite proud that he finally had the upper hand.
"As the saying goes, the stadium is frustrated, and I have prepared a gift for you. ”
"Really?" Guardiola was a little surprised.
Gao Han smiled maliciously, "You'll know when the game starts." ”
…………
…………
In the past two seasons, many teams have only one strategy for playing Barcelona, which is to defend and counterattack at the right time.
This is also a way to do no way, playing pass control, they are not Barcelona's opponents at all, and it is easy to lose their position when they grab, so they can only choose the safest way and defend to the death.
But in the UEFA Super Cup before this season, Gao Han's strategy gave all teams a vivid moment.
Bayern Munich did not defend strictly, nor did he retreat, Gao Han did not do that kind of turtle with a shrunken head, he chose to fight with Barcelona, and through the effective pressure of the midfield, Barcelona could not form effective control in the front of the 30-meter area.
If you can't keep the ball in this area, then Barcelona will be a lot less of a threat.
That game has been learned and used by countless European coaches so far, especially Gao Han's containment of Barcelona's midfield, which has made Barcelona suffer this season.
After a season's test, Pep Guardiola knows better than anyone the problems facing the team, mainly two.
First of all, the UEFA Super Cup exposed, the old problem of too large a distance between the three lines, the distance between the center forward and the central defender is too long, and the three lines are easily disjointed, which is most obvious when playing Bayern Munich.
The trident of the Bundesliga giants kept Barcelona's backline from pressing, while the midfield was suppressed by the opponent, and the forwards were too far forward, leaving gaps between the three lines.
He thought about solving this problem, but he encountered a lot of new problems, such as as as the team playing on multiple fronts as the season progressed, and the players were too physically exhausted, resulting in a decrease in running coverage and motivation on the field, which did not effectively improve the problem.
This leads to the second problem, the psychological pressure of the players.
Overemphasizing passing and control is like a double-edged sword, the good side is to be able to control the initiative of the game in their own hands, but the bad side is that when the game loses fluidity and the team loses possession, players can easily become nervous, nervous is easy to panic, and panic will lead to unsmooth ball control.
Professional teams are very smart, it is easy to learn how to stifle Barcelona's passing, they will even use foul tactics, and Barcelona is just as smart, players should foul on the field, pretend to be injured when they should be injured, which leads to a lot of opinions about Barcelona's attitude.
As everyone knows, pretending to be injured and cruising on the referee's standard line of law enforcement are both tactics.
In addition to these two major flaws, if you insist on it, then one of the big hidden dangers of Barcelona is the backline.
Valdés made a series of mistakes, the backline made a number of low-level mistakes, and Pep Guardiola made a number of changes to the backline, but he had to make a trade-off between passing and defending.
And in this game, Guardiola is most worried about Bayern Munich's offensive strategy.
But what he didn't expect was that Gao Han showed his bayonet as soon as he opened the scene.
Less than a minute into the game, Robben got the ball on the right flank, used his excellent individual ability, took the ball and shook Abidal Neche, and gave a delicate through ball, Aguero cleverly slapped the horse to catch up, easily shook off the defender, and won the ball to form a single knife, but the last shot hit the side netting.
Bayern Munich had their first shot of the game and were a big threat.
But soon, Barcelona changed colors.
In this game, Guardiola made adjustments, allowing Messi, who originally played on the right side, to move to the middle and play as a central striker, but often retreated to meet the midfield, while Henry and Eto'o were separated from each other and inserted diagonally into the middle as an offensive means.
A minute after Bayern Munich's attack, it was Messi who retreated in front, received a pass from the midfield, picked up a pass on the right side, Alves quickly inserted a set of crosses, Eto'o followed the edge of the small penalty area and hit the goal, but was blocked by Hummels.
Barcelona then took a corner and Hummels cleared it with a header to defuse a crisis.
In less than three minutes after the opening, the two teams battled against each other, and the pace of the game went very fast.
Just a minute later, Bayern Munich played another attack, Ribery passed the ball from the left, and Aguero in the middle grabbed ahead of Puyol, got the ball and suddenly slotted it into the front of the box.
The ball hit Pique, bounced off the baseline, a corner.
Franck Ribery took the corner kick himself, and all the tall players of Bayern Munich entered the Barcelona penalty area, which immediately made many fans gasp.
You know, during the European Super Cup, Barcelona once conceded corner kicks, and there were a few times when they almost fell on the corners, and every player was like a big enemy.
As a result, the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
Barcelona made a mistake in marking due to the interference of the attackers, and after Lucio shook off Pique, who was dedicated to defending him, he quickly rushed to the front post, grabbed a half-high ball from Ribery and shook his head to the goal.
The ball crashed straight into the bottom left corner of Barcelona's goal, 1-0!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!”
"Lucio, open the scoring in just four minutes!"
'It's still a defensive problem from set-pieces. ”
"I believe all the fans still remember clearly that the UEFA Super Cup at the end of August last year, also at the beginning of the game, was still a corner, it was still Lucio, but that time the Brazilian central defender headed the header, but this time he calmly seized the opportunity and headed a very wonderful header. ”
"One to zero, Barcelona is in a worrying situation. ”
On the sidelines, after Gao Han saw the team score, he jumped up from the ground and looked at Guardiola provocatively, as if to say, how about it?
Guardiola spread his hands helplessly, what else can he say about such a mistake?
Don't worry, there's more!
Gao Hanzhi smiled triumphantly, satisfied with the progress of the game.
Air defense can be said to be a very important weakness of Barcelona, and it is difficult to change it in a short period of time, at least.
