Chapter 332: Guardiola's doubts
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!”
The moment Messi sent the ball into the goal, the Calderón stadium fell silent for a while.
The Catalan commentator jumped up from the commentary seat, raised his arms and shouted.
Although his celebration was soon interrupted by deafening boos, the Catalan gentleman was not affected in the slightest!
"Messi!! Messi !!! Leo Messi!!!!!! ”
"Oh God!!!! He's the elf of Barcelona and he's scored for Barcelona again!! Look at his light pace with the ball, and his heavy picking!! It's like a gift from God!! This is a child who is favored by God!!!!! ”
The Catalan narrator seems to have seen the believers of the Lord, spreading his arms and muttering to himself.
On the field, after scoring a goal, Messi opened his arms and ran on this stadium, and Messi, with long hair and flowing hair, was on his way to the peak of his career.
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines with his chest crossed, shaking his head inwardly.
Messi is arguably the most important piece of Barcelona's puzzle. Because before that, Barcelona played like that, but after having Messi, Messi's super individual ability made up for Barcelona's weakness in the face of dense defense, and almost everything in Pep Guardiola's team revolved around Messi.
Other players helped Messi open up space, and the nanny passes of Xavi and Iniesta kept Messi worried. He just needs to be on the pitch to the fullest.
Aguero squinted at Messi running ahead.
Leao has scored!
Aguero silently clenched his fists.
Although the score of this game is still 1-1, now Messi has scored, and Aguero has not yet scored.
Friends scored, and if it was another game, Aguero would be happy for Messi.
But in this game, when the two sides were against each other, Aguero's competitiveness was extremely strong.
He didn't want to be beaten down by his own hair, Aguero turned to look at the Barcelona goal!
The next step is to work even harder!!
Aguero silently cheered himself up.
......
Barcelona's players are celebrating and they certainly have a reason to celebrate.
Pep Guardiola was restrained, in any case, they only equalised, and Barcelona's passing at the back was still very dangerous, and if they were not careful, they would be in a situation from which they could never recover.
Everyone knows what happens when they concede a goal at the back.
But Pep Guardiola was forced by Gao Bo to go no other way.
Atletico Madrid's frontcourt pressure left Barcelona with no space at all, so they would make dangerous moves and use such a risky method to create space for Messi and others.
Pep Guardiola won the bet!
They equalised!!
So what's next?
Pep Guardiola looked at Gao Bo not far away, who was pulling Kante and talking about something.
They're going to have to change their strategy, right?
Pep Guardiola has some vague expectations, and it would be false to say that Guardiola is not worried about Atletico Madrid's high-intensity frontcourt nasal cavity.
Every pass from Barcelona used to be like dancing on the tip of a knife, and once Atletico Madrid managed to break the ball, they could almost shoot directly at the goalkeeper!
It's not much different from giving the opponent a goal.
And now he equalized in such a risky way, which made Guardiola breathe a sigh of relief after all.
Gao Bo shouldn't dare to let his team continue to press!
After all, they conceded goals.
......
Gobo certainly doesn't know what Guardiola is thinking, and he's criticising N'Golo Kante right now.
"Don't get carried away! N'Golo!! Pay attention to the line of defense!!! ”
Gao Bo grabbed Kante and said.
"Tell everyone, kick like this later! But don't go up! Keep an eye on their forward passes, especially on Messi's side!! Hold him down for the first time! Even if it's a foul!!! ”
Kante nodded again and again, Barcelona was indeed like a girl who wanted to talk before, and the strong men of Atletico Madrid were teased by the wind-blown gauze skirt, and their blood was surging one by one, eager to tear the girl's dress immediately and enter roughly.
The same goes for N'Golo Kante, who for a moment really thought he could steal the ball, but Barcelona's pass was so brilliant that the ball slipped away from his feet, and then the girl suddenly bared her fangs and cost Atletico Madrid!
......
When the game resumed, Pep Guardiola immediately discovered that Atletico Madrid was not affected by the goal conceded.
Immediately after the kick-off, Atletico Madrid passed the ball to the front of the court with a quick passing run.
The Atletico Madrid players didn't drag their feet, they just passed the ball and ran in a position, which seemed simple, but they passed the ball very quickly and worked well with each other.
Barcelona are also very good at pressing up front, but as soon as they were ready to counter-attack, Atletico Madrid had already pushed the line up.
Antoine Griezmann won the ball on the right and dribbled past Maxwell.
Despite his emphasis on passing coordination, he does not prohibit dribbling, especially on the flanks.
Griezmann caused a wave of confusion in Barcelona's defense after passing Maxwell, and then Griezmann took the opportunity to pass the ball!
Aguero in the middle found a good opportunity to shoot, he met the ball with the arch of his foot, but the ball was deflected wide by Puyol behind him!
Aguero hugged his head in the penalty area, patted his thigh hard, then turned and ran out of the box, standing near the arc of the box.
When Valdés was about to open the goal, he found that the Atletico Madrid players still did not retreat!
Three Atletico Madrid strikers are pressed up front!
Guardiola frowned, dare to come?!
Gao Bo was not shocked on his face, Gao Bo was naturally very unhappy about losing the ball, but he didn't think the team should just withdraw after that!
If Barcelona still uses their set to pass at the back, Atletico Madrid will naturally not be polite!
It's bad luck to lose the ball, but what if Atletico Madrid can make a steal up front?!
You know, Gao Boke is equipped with a blue steal card!
Once the ball is broken in the front court, it is directly a very threatening attack!
Offense and defense are one!
You don't have to have the ball when you attack, now.... Atletico Madrid is oppressive... Offensive!!!
As soon as Valdés passed the ball, Atletico Madrid had already pressed it!
Barcelona's pass at the back ended up being wrong, Maxwell couldn't get on Puyol's pass, and the ball went straight to the touchline!
The atmosphere also had some influence on Barcelona.
The fans of Atletico Madrid let out a huge uproar, which was like a giant drum hammering into the hearts of the Barcelona players.
On the one hand, Atletico Madrid's high-intensity pressing, the slightest carelessness was tackled and the ball was conceded, and on the other hand, the whole stadium was full of hostile hustle and bustle.
Barcelona's players were a little nervous, and this pass and conceded the ball was a reflection of this state of mind.
The morale of the goal was quickly lost to one misplaced pass!
Atletico Madrid quickly took the throw-in.
Modric received the ball, and immediately several Barcelona players rushed around.
Pressing defense, Barcelona too! And that's what they're good at.
Luka Modric didn't let the Barcelona players stick to him, and he immediately passed the ball back to Juanfran who had just come up to take the throw-in.
Juanfran didn't delay in the slightest, as he played a straight pass back to Godin at the back, who moved to the other side and Sandro picked up the ball and immediately played it straight into Reyes.
Reyes pushes the ball down the middle, Raul Garcia takes the ball and then stuffs it for Aguero!
Aguero spun to meet the ball and then fired again!
It's a pity that it didn't fully play with power, and the football was confiscated by Valdés!
It was a typical Atletico Madrid attack.
From right to left, left to middle, the middle is straight to the striker, and the striker completes the shot!
There were only seven passes in the process, and then Atletico Madrid had a shot!
What's more, these seven passes only took a few seconds, and the speed of the pass was very fast!
Pep Guardiola watched it well off the pitch.
If there's one thing that Atletico Madrid really resembles Barcelona, it's that they play on the ground.
However, the difference is that Atletico Madrid does not make dozens of passes before shooting like Barcelona!
Pep Guardiola writes and draws in his notebook, which documents the characteristics of Atletico Madrid.
Judging from this half, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are indeed not the same type of football.
Atletico Madrid don't care about possession, they don't pass the ball for the sake of possession, but to always look for gaps and opportunities to shoot!
They were very purposeful and aggressive! And.... It's fast!
Pep Guardiola has never seen a game like this.
Quick passing and running, shooting directly when there is space, without any mud.
When defending, it is a high-intensity pressing in the front court, and after grabbing the ball, it is a few quick passes, and then the shot is completed immediately!
It's like they're playing a game on the field.... A game where it's all about shooting!
Many people say that Barcelona play a game of possession on the pitch, and Guardiola agrees.
Keep the ball at your feet, defend well, and slowly find gaps to get the ball into the opponent's goal.
And what about Atletico Madrid?
They are like the tide.
The tide rushed up, and after grabbing the ball, it was like a tidal wave of attack.
Shoot quickly, lose possession quickly, but.... They always get the ball back very quickly!
Isn't he afraid of a physical collapse of the team?
Pep Guardiola can't figure this out.
