Chapter 402: Shattering Barcelona's Confidence
Chapter 402: Crushing Barcelona's Confidence
Pep Guardiola was laying out the second half attack.
But if he had known what Gobo was saying to his team in the away dressing room, Guardiola would have gone crazy.
"In the second half we started to press up and attack!"
Gao Bo looked at the excited players and said calmly.
The players were a little overwhelmed by what the manager had just said..... Offensive?!
With a two-goal lead, shouldn't it be more necessary to defend and counterattack?!
Everyone was still very excited about the result of the first half, two goals, two goals ahead!
This result gave them a good chance of winning the game, so when the players returned to the dressing room, there was a lot of talk and laughter, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Gao Bo waited until the players had calmed down a bit before he spoke.
Although Gao Bo is strict in governing the army, he is not the kind of old antique who always has a straight face, and the players have emotions that need to be released, which is why Gao Bo seems to be very normal.
'We had the ball in the second half, so we have to make the most of it!'
Gao Bo turned the tactical board around, and it was densely written.
A minute before the end of the first half, Gao Bo returned to the locker room early, which was something that Gao Bo had thought about before the end of the first half.
"I guess now Mr. Guardiola is putting up attacking tactics for his team!" Gao Bo looked at the players and laughed.
"So, for the Barcelona players, as soon as the second half comes up, they are probably thinking about attack! At this time, their momentum is the most vigorous, and we can't let their momentum kick out! So......... We're going to give them a fatal blow at a time they don't expect!! β
Gao Bo slammed his fist on the table.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and it hurt a little this time....
In fact, whether it can give Barcelona a fatal blow, Gao Bo is not very clear. But what he knows is that Barcelona must be fully committed to attacking now.
Gao Bo's plan is to take advantage of the opportunity of the second half kick-off on the side of Atletico Madrid, launch a wave of attacks first, whether it succeeds or not, first eliminate the momentum accumulated at Barcelona's halftime, and then come back to defend.
As a result, I'm afraid that what Pep Guardiola said in the dressing room, Barcelona's players will need to spend a few more minutes regrouping after a flurry of defensive frustration...... And in terms of morale, Barcelona may also suffer a blow, and the morale that Guardiola managed to boost at halftime may be dispelled a lot.
Of course, it is risky to press the attack, but sometimes, Gao Bo is far more daring when he makes a bet than people think, and when necessary, he will be very risky.
In Gao Bo's explanation, the eyes of the players of Atletico Madrid gradually lit up.
Many of the details of the second half were made very clear by Gao Bo.
If it is carried out according to the track designed by Gao Bo, Atletico Madrid will be able to win this game steadily!
"Guys, the importance of this game for us is self-evident, so in addition to the tactical execution, the most important thing is everyone's focus!"
Gao Bo looked at the time, there was still about a minute, the second half was about to start, and he simply continued to use the minute.
"I want any player on the pitch to get all the other mess out of their minds from the moment they step on the pitch and just focus on the game!"
As soon as Gao Bo's voice fell, members of the referee team came over to urge.
The more Atletico Madrid players got up and slowly ran out onto the pitch.
Barcelona's players were on fire and they had been waiting on the pitch for almost two minutes before Atletico Madrid was late.
Gao Bo walked out of the players' tunnel and saw the Barcelona players who were constantly moving slightly on the field.
It's also a little trick on the pitch, and the purpose is to weaken the opposition manager's set-up at half-time as much as possible.
Waiting for two minutes on the pitch may have made many Barcelona players a little anxious.
Guardiola also looked at Gao Bo very dissatisfied, and he was careless, and he actually fell into the other party's way in such a detail.
Gao Bo sat back in the coach's seat.
The atmosphere was enthusiastic, and the fans at Camp Nou regrouped at half-time, and the singing and cheering for Barcelona once again resounded in the sky!
.........
The Camp Nou's singing faded shortly after the start of the second half.
At this time, in the stadium, the players of Atletico Madrid hugged each other, and the football swirled around the Barcelona goal.
"Reyes ββββββββββββ!!!!!!!"
The excited voices of the commentators rang out in the commentary booth.
Atletico Madrid's bench and coach's bench were jubilant.
Obviously, Atletico Madrid has scored again!!
"At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid unexpectedly chose to press the attack aggressively, and Barcelona was obviously unprepared for this! Reyes' shot helps Atletico Madrid to another goal! Three-to-0!!! Aduris said from the commentary bench.
"Barcelona took Griezmann too seriously, so much so that Reyes on the other side was emptied, and he lost sight of the other!" Aduris' partner, Matteo, shook his head and sighed.
"In short, this game is completely finished for Barcelona, they are three goals behind, and they are weak to recover!"
Aduris concluded.
At this time, the TV broadcast was replaying the whole process of Atletico Madrid's goal.
Atletico Madrid passed the ball through the front, Griezmann caught the attention of three defenders after picking up the ball near the middle, and Griezmann did not force a breakthrough, he passed the ball to Modric, who moved the ball directly to the left!
Reyes on the left side stopped the ball with his thigh, took advantage of the situation and went straight to the goal!
The seemingly unremarkable shot hit Pique's foot in the box and changed the line!
ValdΓ©s had already started to move to the other side, and when the ball changed line, he couldn't react, and the ball went into the net from the other end!
The forty-seventh minute of the second half!
Atletico Madrid's third goal!
Three-to-0!!!!!
Such a result left the Barcelona players dumbfounded.
They geared up and were ready to make a big play in the second half, but Atletico Madrid, who were almost on the defensive in the first half, suddenly pressed up and attacked at the beginning of the second half, catching them off guard.
In a panic, Barcelona conceded a goal.
Although Reyes' goal also has an element of luck, but a goal is a goal, and Barcelona are now 0-3 down!
After two goals down, the Barcelona players still had the confidence to come back, but now they are three goals behind......... The Barcelona players could only watch the football spinning in their nets.
Guardiola was also stunned.
He now felt that Gao Bo was definitely a demon with horns on his head.
From his time as a head coach to the present, he has never met a manager who has targeted him at every turn.
The significance of this goal is more than just a goal.
He also made Barcelona tired of the morale and confidence that they had accumulated at half-time, and they were shattered by such a goal.
