Chapter 365: Rai. Specializing in strong teams. 10,000 (2nd update)
In response to Barcelona's possible starting configuration, Ibiza conducted separate tactical drills.
When the players on the pitch saw Yaya Toure starting and Barcelona playing as a single midfielder, they knew what to do.
According to Fang Jue's arrangement, in this situation, Ibiza's response was very direct: concentrate all the offensive forces and attack Yaya Toure.
This is not to say that Yaya Toure is not very capable, on the contrary, this is a very strong player, but, in this Barcelona, in this starting lineup, the Ivorian as a single midfielder is the breakthrough point for Barcelona selected by Fang Jue.
The match has been going on for more than ten minutes, and so far, his strategy has been quite successful.
From the very beginning of the game, Ibiza, who was playing at home, launched an offensive against Barcelona, surrounding Yaya Toure in the midfield and exerting frequent pressure.
On the one hand, I didn't expect Ibiza to play so actively and aggressively in the face of Barcelona, and on the other hand, I didn't expect Ibiza to concentrate the offensive firepower of the whole team to attack Yaya Toure, so that Yaya Toure was a little embarrassed by the impact, Xavi and Iniesta had to come over to help, so the most direct reaction was that Barcelona's midfield fell into passivity, tired of defense, and unable to support the forward line.
This is Pep Guardiola's first season in charge of Barcelona's first team, and Barcelona lost 0-1 away to promoted Manumancia in the first round of the league, which caused a big upset, and directly caused the media and fans to question and distrust Guardiola.
Especially in the second round of the league, after Barcelona was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Racing Santander, the Catalan media newspaper "Le Monde" has even begun to discuss whether Guardiola should be sacked.
However, from the third round of the league, Pep Guardiola's side began to slowly get on the right track, they slaughtered promoted Sporting Mahijón 6-1 away in the third round, from this game until this round of meeting Ibiza, Guardiola's side have won six consecutive league games, in addition to the 6-1 win over Sporting Gijón in the third round, there is also a 6-1 home win over Atletico Madrid and a 5-0 home win over Almeria.
Suffice it to say, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona have begun to show their attacking prowess, and all three of these big wins have been characteristic, all three teams tried to play against Barcelona and then were slaughtered by Barcelona.
Especially in the third round of the league against Sporting Gijón, I don't know if Sporting Gijón found inspiration in the game of Ibiza beating Atletico Madrid, which is also a promoted horse, and they held high the banner of attack in the game against Barcelona, and then they were tortured.
The same is true for Atletico Madrid, according to the Madrid media, after losing 3-8 to Ibiza in the first round of the Atletico Madrid league, Aguirre carefully summed up the experience, and finally came to the conclusion that Ibiza used the offensive tactics very well, in the face of the powerful Atletico Madrid, this tactic was unexpected, and Atletico Madrid was caught off guard, Aguirre is a person who is good at summarizing, and then when facing Barcelona away, he drew inspiration from this game, and held high the offensive banner away, trying to create a ' Camp Nou miracle', in the end, Barcelona created a new 'Camp Nou massacre' against Atletico Madrid.
These victories have greatly boosted the confidence of the whole Barcelona team, especially the Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, Guardiola has a kind of self-confidence: the team that dares to attack Barcelona is courageous, but it will die miserably!
……
Therefore, seeing Ibiza take the initiative to attack after the start of the game, and play against Barcelona, Guardiola was surprised at first, he thought that Ibiza would be more conservative in the face of the powerful Barcelona, but he didn't expect Ibiza to insist on attacking.
Then, Guardiola was happy, since Ibiza didn't know how to live or die, he didn't mind giving Fang Jue and Ibiza a ride.
In this state of mind, even when he saw Ibiza besieging Yaya Toure, Barcelona was a little passive, Guardiola didn't care too much, he was confident in his team, as long as he withstood this wave of offsets, Barcelona would teach Ibiza a good lesson.
However, Guardiola has overlooked one point, very important: he lacks the most direct knowledge of this Ibiza.
Although Barcelona had a heavy defeat at the feet of Ibiza last season, but, as Guardiola said in an interview with the media, it was not his Barcelona, he would not pay attention, Guardiola has his own pride, he does not think that situation will appear in his own Barcelona, and Guardiola knows that Barcelona implemented a certain amount of rotation in that game, and the first leg home win also made Barcelona relatively weak, all kinds of factors caused that humiliating defeat.
This match was the first time Pep Guardiola and Fang Jue had met each other, and he clearly lacked the most direct and deep knowledge of Fang Jue's Ibiza.
Although Guardiola also watched the 8-3 match between Ibiza and Atletico Madrid, and watched the video of Ibiza's 7-2 Valencia game, he thinks that he knows more about this Ibiza team and the tactical system of the other party, but this is like seeing flowers in the fog, not clearing the clouds, and really facing it, you never know whether you are in front of Wen Wanxiang's sister or a real gun-stinky brother.
What Guardiola didn't expect was that in the face of Ibiza's constant onslaught, his Barcelona seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
……
Yaya Toure is Barcelona's lone midfielder, he is besieged here, and it will be very dangerous if he is broken, so this forced Xavi and Iniesta to come over to help, and in the face of Ibiza's high-intensity pressing tactics, Barcelona's midfield is very passive.
Fang Jue watched from the sidelines, his fists clenched, loosened, clenched, and he was nervous in his heart.
Now, the only thing that can ease his nerves is to score goals.
"The ball is broken!"
Yaya Toure faced Modric's pressing and chose to pass the football to Iniesta, however, Mata had already prepared for this, the former Real Madrid talent suddenly stepped up and stabbed first, and then Makelele grabbed the ball before Xavi counter-attacked, and quickly played the ball, and the football was passed to Modric.
Well done!
Fang Jue applauded on the sidelines, and the surrounding cooperation of several players was very tacit.
Modric pulls the ball, adjusts slightly, and looks ahead.
"Luka Modric's through ball! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang! Velocity! Velocity! Velocity! Very fast speed! Split side, Alba crosses! Pique! He's out of the way! Kick the flawed...... Lewandowski – Gooooooo!! ”
l! Robert. Lewandowski! He scored! 1 to 0! Ibiza is 1-0 ahead of Barcelona and it was Lewandowski who scored, it was him, it was him, it was him! In the two legs of the Spanish Copa del Rey last season, Lewandowski scored four goals against Barcelona, and now he is facing Barcelona again, he scored again, in addition, he scored one goal in the first leg of the league against Atletico Madrid, in the fourth round of the league against Valencia, Lewandowski scored five goals in nine minutes, and Lewandowski also scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. ”
"In the ninth round of the league, Lewandowski's ninth goal! One goal per game! ”
Accompanied by narrators Dolores and David. Zamora's roar, the Ibiza Athletic Stadium erupted in loud cheers.
Lewandowski, who scored the goal, ran to the corner flag area with open arms, followed by the excited Ibiza players!
