Chapter 124: Hit the Wall

'Okay, Pep Guardiola takes the ball and picks it up to the right. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Luis Enrique, detain Antonio López and pass into the box!"

"Rivaldo, nice turn, straight to the door!"

"Good guys!"

"Rivaldo's kick turned around and hit the door, it was too wonderful and too sudden!"

"Ibić was like a stake in front of him. ”

"However, Atletico Madrid's defense is also very tight, and we can see in slow motion that Xavi Alonso dropped deep and Ibiç formed a defensive corner with him, and Rivaldo turned around Ibiç and shot from a very small angle. ”

At this point, goalkeeper Jimenez was caught in Rivaldo's last angle, so the Brazilian star's shot hit him right in his arms, and Atletico Madrid completed a very beautiful combination. ”

'We saw that Barcelona were very committed in attack and wanted to open up from both wings, but Atletico Madrid defended solidly, both on the left and on the right, and it was difficult for Barcelona to create a real threat. ”

"It's been 24 minutes and it's still 0-0. ”

'Barcelona created six chances on goal, three of them in the box and three from distance, but none of them created a real absolute chance. ”

'Atletico Madrid had two shots on goal but couldn't get on target on both occasions. ”

From this data, it is not difficult to see that Barcelona has a clear advantage on the field, and Atletico Madrid can only take defensive counterattacks, but if they want to break through Atletico Madrid's iron wall, Barcelona seems to have to think of another way. ”

"Atletico Madrid's defense is very well organised, and the players are very tight with each other!"

In the media area, de la Morena couldn't help but exclaim after seeing Rivaldo's shot.

In slow motion, Atletico Madrid completed a delicate defensive combination.

Although Ibić was passed, Xavi Alonso blocked part of Rivaldo's shot, leaving Rivaldo with limited options and Jimenez in a particular position.

"It seems that they have practiced!"

When Javier Matayana heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "That's more than a month of practice!"

"More than a month?" said de la Morena, a little surprised.

"Who's to say it's not?" Matayana nodded, "Since the semi-final against Real Mallorca, Gao Han has been aware of the problem of defense and has strengthened defensive training, especially the team's joint defense in local areas. ”

Although he had only seen a training session in person, it was just a glimpse of the leopard, but it made Matayana full of praise.

"I'll tell you, José, if you watch Atletico Madrid's usual training, you will see that they are less than half as good on the pitch!"

"Really?" said della Morena, even more surprised.

Is it so magical?

"No way, Atletico Madrid doesn't have top stars like Rivaldo, Kluivert, Luis Enrique and Ovimas in the team. ”

Matayana's words are also reasonable.

Defending a top superstar is completely different from a star who is average defensively.

It's like Rivaldo's turn just now, in that case, he can dribble and turn around, and then directly hit the goal, there is really nothing to say about his personal ability, only the top stars can do it.

If you change to an average player, it is estimated that there will be no play.

"Gao Han does have a hand in adjusting defense. De la Morena couldn't help but think of last year's Madrid Community Invitational Tournament, and the defense of the China City team led by Gao Han also impressed him.

"By the way, if I'm not mistaken, the Chinatown team has been upgraded, right?" De la Morena asked suddenly.

"Well, I got promoted, I won the third group of Madrid in the ninth division ahead of schedule, and I was promoted to the eighth division next season. ”

Matayana replied that he is now a fan of the China City team.

The team is privately owned by Atletico Madrid, but it is strongly supported by Atletico Madrid, and by partnering with the Sheets Army, it will not only receive the honorary support of Atletico Madrid, but also receive a large annual subsidy.

Although it is only level eight, it is not easy.

Lin Xia and Chu Yao sat silently on the side, quietly listening to the discussion of the two bigwigs in the Spanish football media circle, and listening to their words of praise for Gao Han, which made them feel honored.

Especially Lin Xia, there is a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"If Barcelona can't find an effective way to continue playing like this, Ferrer will go crazy!" De la Morena joked with a smile.

"I guess he's going to go crazy now!" Matayana was even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

“…… The ball is still at the feet of Barcelona. ”

'Pep Guardiola, pass to Cocu, to the left, Overmars. ”

'Aguilera and Marcos Senna were in the middle, there was no chance, back passes. ”

"Cocu, a long pass, Kluivert's header!"

"Oops, not on top!"

The audience exclaimed, followed by regret and happiness for the rest of their lives.

Ferrer waved his arm ventingly on the sidelines and cursed indignantly, "TMD!"

Even if Kluivert is on top of the ball, it will be difficult to create a threat because it is too far from the goal.

Kocu's pass landed near the penalty spot, and it was difficult to head the ball in this place!

"It's hard for us to get back on the left!" the assistant coach reminded in a whisper.

As soon as Overmars received the ball, he was pinned down the wing by Aguilera and Marcos Senna, unable to move at all.

Not to mention that it is like the opening game, one-on-one to the bottom line and then cross, even if it is difficult to protect the ball.

"Who knows where the hell that damn Brazilian came from?"

Ferrer slapped his forehead hard and scolded depressedly.

Atletico Madrid's defense was a combination of Marcos Senna and Aguilera, and after the opening kick-off, Marcos Sena did not protect Aguilera enough, leaving the Bianzae captain too exposed to Overmars' attacking fire.

It was also the time when Barcelona's attack was most threatening.

But with Gao Han's reminder, Marcos Senna gradually entered the game and behaved more and more vigorously.

Now the main force of the entire Atletico Madrid defense on the right side, freezing Overmars, is Marcos Senna.

This guy even turned a large area of the right and right half of the entire front of the big penalty area into a forbidden area under his own care!

"I heard that Gao Han was introduced from Brazil on a free transfer not long ago, and when he played Real Mallorca, he became an instant hit, and he was the main player in one fell swoop, and his performance is getting better and better, which is quite a good player. ”

When Ferrer heard this, he burst out in anger and frustration, but he had to face a cruel reality.

Barcelona's attack hit the wall!

Half of the sixty minutes given by Gao Han have passed, but the score is still 0-0.

As time went on, Atletico Madrid gradually gained a foothold, the players got into the game one after another, and the Sheets defended more and more solidly.

"I don't know how this bastard trains his defense!" Ferrer couldn't help but curse again.

But he didn't have an idea how to solve the problem.

Breaking down dense defenses is a common problem for all teams around the world.

…………

…………

"The most important thing in Barcelona right now is patience!"

In the stands of the stadium, as a live commentator on a Catalan TV station, Cruyff said into the microphone.

"Breaking down dense defence has always been a problem for all teams, and the test for both sides of the game is not only on a technical and tactical level, but also on a psychological level, and even more importantly. ”

The TV announcer, who was sitting next to him, listened, and asked, "John, what do you think Ferrer should do now?"

"It's important to be patient, and you can't lose because you can't play for a long time. ”

"Well, what else?"

"Atletico Madrid's defence is really well organised, and from that point of view, I have to admit that their 23-year-old manager did a pretty good job, but it was a final, 90 minutes, and I don't believe his team could hold on to those 90 minutes, from start to finish. ”

"Makes sense. ”

"Atletico Madrid have hoarded seven players in the midfield and defended their 30-metre area, making it a solid wall, which made it difficult for our attacking attack to play in this area and limited the individual performance of the players. ”

'Rivaldo and Cocu were also dangerous from distance, but they also struggled to get their feet. ”

"Well, judging by the scene, it does. ”

'So, now you should be patient, don't press blindly, withdraw first, control the ball, patiently look for opportunities, wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and take advantage of set-pieces, we have good set-pieces in the team. ”

The TV commentator thought for a moment, "But Atletico Madrid's attitude seems to be very resolute. ”

"It's a psychological tactic. Cruyff replied in the affirmative, "Since they have reached the final, they definitely want to win, so as long as we remain patient and let the opponent make mistakes, we will definitely be able to catch their flaws!"

"It seems that this is the only way to go. The on-site commentator said helplessly.

Although it is a good statement, in reality, Cruyff did not give a concrete response.

From this, it is not difficult to see that Atletico Madrid's defense is indeed quite well-organized and very well placed.

In the face of such a tight defense, even Cruyff failed to give effective measures for a while, and could only hope that the opponent would take the initiative to make mistakes.

Of course, this is not entirely unreasonable.

This kind of stalemate between offense and defense is also a psychological test for both sides, and whoever can't bear it first and makes a mistake first will lose.

Therefore, Cruyff wants the team to be patient and give advice from a strategic level.

But with the current state of mind in Barcelona, can it withstand it?
