Chapter 017: Blind Spots and Running Without the Ball
In the 86th minute of the game, Mario Balotelli, who had only played for five minutes, made a knife to give Inter Milan a 1-0 lead at home to Barcelona, which was almost a stunner.
Balotelli was so cool that he was in a deep thinking gesture with one hand on his chest and the other on his chin, and his Inter team-mates sang and danced around him in celebration. Zhuo Yang, who had seen this kid enter the state of supergodhood, was already dumbfounded, not to mention the Barcelona teammates who were not psychologically prepared, they were completely frightened.
After a while, Messi leaned over and said: "How can such a good person play as a substitute?" Did Mourinho do it on purpose? ”
"I'll tell you, Leo." Zhuo Yang said: "This kid is not simple, if he performs like this in every game, then there is nothing to do with us people." He dares to do this every day, I immediately retired to concentrate on playing the piano, you better do something else, playing basketball is nothing more promising than playing football. ”
Messi: "......" is depressed by 1.68 meters.
Ibrahimovic, another person who knows Balotelli well, pouted after hearing the conversation between Messi and Zhuoyang, and before he could move his mouth to argue, he saw Henry standing on the sidelines, and the mat display board held up by the referee was '9'.
Ibrahimovic has been slower to integrate into Barcelona's tactics than Zhuo Yang, and has only been in Barcelona for more than a month, but Ibrahimovic's biggest shortcoming in football has been completely exposed - running without the ball.
If 100 points are the highest, then Ibrahimovic can almost reach 95 points in other skills on the offensive end, 90 points for headers, but only running without the ball may be barely 80 points. There is no way to do this, such an excellent centre-forward, Ibrahimovic has been the core of the team's attacking line since he was a child, and only the football has always revolved around him, and he will not run around the football, so there is no need for him to think deeply about running without the ball outside the 30-meter area.
Running without the ball is one of the most important skills in Barcelona's tactical system, second only to the skill of receiving the ball. Therefore, Ibrahimovic is now very slow to integrate into Barcelona's tactics, and even seems out of place, if it continues like this, it will be very troublesome for Ibrahimovic.
In the first few games, Ibrahimovic relied on his personal super ability and Zhuo Yang's deliberate tilt towards him on the front line, but once Zhuo Yang was severely restricted, just like today, Ibrahimovic basically did nothing. What's more, the Inter backline is very familiar with him, and the footsteps are stuck in time, so Ibrahimovic is getting more and more difficult in the game.
With the score down and time running out, it was difficult for Pep Guardiola to tolerate Ibrahimovic's frustration in the front line, and it was also a helpless move to choose the experienced Thierry Henry to play as a dead horse doctor, and the defeat in the first game of the Champions League did not bode well.
As Eevee walked down, his face was extremely ugly. Even if he doesn't have brocade clothes, but this is also a battle for him to 'return home', with his conceited character of burning bags, how can he not want to prove himself in front of his old club? Before the game, he was booed by the fans, which made Ibrahimovic even more eager to slaughter Inter, and he told Messi and Zhuo Yang that he wanted to score two.
Meazza's boos rose again, which made Ibrahimovic even more annoyed, and after a simple handover with Henry, he ignored Guardio's stretched hand, turned a blind eye and walked straight over, which made Guardiola very faceless and very embarrassed.
Baggio once told Zhuo Yang that Pep is sometimes very cautious.
.
Meaza is the San Siro, and Zhuo Yang doesn't want to be defeated as soon as he turns around and returns to this stadium, and he has the same thoughts as Ibrahimovic in this regard.
In the eyes of the people, he turned into 'Mr. 100 million yuan', and the sun was shining in Barcelona to rebuild the dream team, to do what Figo, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho could not do, and to bring the two Champions League trophies he snatched from Barcelona back to Camp Nou, how could he be hacked in the first game.
Zhuo Yang was pulled back to the midfield to replace Keita, because he was the best midfielder in the Champions League last season, and after so many years of Bundesliga and Serie A, it has also been proved that Zhuo Yang can best exert the power of both offensive and defensive ends in the midfield.
And after returning to the midfield, Zhuo Yang's position will be more flexible, he has more attributes than Keita, Zhuo Yang and Toure next to him, Xiaobai and Messi in front of him form a vortex irregular rotation transition.
The game had already entered stoppage time, and Mourinho replaced Sneijder with 19-year-old full-back Davide Thornton, and the Inter Milan backline was creepy. Thornton was quick, and after a pass from Stankovic, he hit back with Samuel Eto'o's pass and Yaya Toure saved him with a yellow card.
Samuel Eto'o's free-kick was a little threat and was confiscated by Valdés with one arm. Time is of the essence, and Valdés threw it to Pique as soon as possible. After Xiaojie got the ball, he didn't go to Xavi as usual, because he saw Zhuo Yang's midfielder reaching out for the ball.
Barcelona does not have the habit of reaching out for the ball, because everyone is running without the ball according to the triangle position, and when the position runs out, the ball will naturally come. Zhuo Yang has always had a hobby of reaching out, and those who are familiar with him know it, but whenever Zhuo Yang raised his hand on the field, it means that he is aware of the gap that can be used, the fleeting gap.
Pique has a good personal relationship with Zhuo Yang, and he is counting on Zhuo Yang to pimp him and connect with Latin singer Mebarak Sharachi. So, since you raised your hand, it's good for you. 'Huh-' swirled up and down, and the football was accurately given to Zhuo Yang's chest.
The back feint to get rid of on the spot, Zanetti quickly tore Zhuo Yang's jersey and did not interfere with his smooth reception and turn, and then used the forward wrong step to flash the Sa team out of a stumbling, Zhuo Yang raised his foot and made a diagonal long pass to find Henry who was rushing down the side.
The reaction of the three was not unpleasant, but it was still not fast enough. Inter Milan didn't press the army just now, and the score lead couldn't be missed. Henry didn't take a few steps out of the ball before Thornton and McCone blocked him with the idea of cutting inside and going down.
After a quick stop, Henry said in his heart: I will have more.
Andres Iniesta swooped in from the middle and the ball arrived. But Lucio and Mota are not vegetarians either, and the two towers of nearly 1.9 meters make Xiaobai, who is 1.7 meters invisible.
The football gave Messi, who reflexively responded to Xiaobai, and the road ahead was already difficult to move an inch, Messi could only take the ball and fight and retreat, and this retreat was forty meters away from the goal. Even so, Zivo and Eto'o did not let him go, and they stuck to him like maggots attached to the bones.
There is a place in the human line of sight called a 'blind spot', but as the gaze drifts back and forth, this blind spot will be constantly covered. Blind spots also often occur in defensive formations, due to the collective blind spots that occur when the formation is offset. But this blind spot is also fleeting, and the blind spot under the eyes of many defenders is just a legend.
Anyone who has snuck up on a Sentinel in the Allied Expendables game knows what I'm talking about about this blind spot.
Inter Milan's defense was all attracted by Messi's dribbling and the non-stop absence of the ball by Thierry, Xiaobai and Toure, and at this time there was a defensive blind spot on their left side, located a little outside the corner of the penalty area.
Messi suddenly wiped the ball and turned to launch a long-distance diagonal puncture, and the shoe on his right foot was stepped on by Zivo. Zhuo Yang appeared in the blind spot! He passed the football to Thierry Henry and then sneaked around and seemed to disappear from the field for a short dozen seconds.
Blind spot passing is the highest pursuit of every passer! Blind spot running is the pinnacle of running without the ball!
Samuel watched in despair as the ball passed by his feet and could not do anything, Newton's law of inertia makes it take time for the center of gravity to move, and it needs to be calculated using complex formulas. He could only watch Zhuo Yang wipe the ball with his left foot and break into the penalty area, like a leisurely angler watching more leisurely fish in the water.
The right foot is dialed out, so simple that Cesar knew that Zhuo Yang would use this trick to get past him, but he could only fall in response. After pushing the damn ball into the empty goal, Zhuo Yang turned around and pointed at Messi in the distance with both hands, and Messi's same movements echoed from afar.
Connecting the four fingers, the two of them resemble a long drying rod.
