What does a really strong team look like?

First of all, this team should be balanced offensively and defensively.

Countless vivid examples have proven that teams that focus too much on attack and too much on defense can hardly perform well on the highest stage of the Champions League.

For example, the only season in our history when Arsenal reached a Champions League final was when Arsene Wenger clung to the defence.

He almost gave up his attacking philosophy, played defensive counterattacks in the Champions League, and even sacrificed Henry's attacking ability to a certain extent!

For example, the main reason why Barcelona will be able to dominate European football in the future is not because their attacking ability surpasses that of all teams in history.

Rather, it is because they have redefined the offensive and defensive balance of technical teams with their birdcage-like backcourt to foot defense while maintaining their strong offensive power.

In the 10 World Cup, Spain maintained the Barcelona style of play, but without Messi, they focused more on defense than attack.

Portugal was eliminated 1-0 in the round of 16, Paraguay 1-0 in the quarter-finals, Germany 1-0 in the semi-finals, and in the final, Iniesta's goal in the 116th minute of extra time was the only goal of the game.

It's 1:0 again!

It can be seen how strong the defensive ability of this Spain, or that Barcelona, is.

Why do people always question Messi?

Because when Dream Three started to be strong, behind him stood Iniesta and Xavi, who were able to finish third and fourth at the Ballon d'Or at the time.

Later, Xavi retired, Xiaobai got old, Barcelona won another treble, and next to Messi stood Neymar and Suarez, who could be third in one and the other in the top five.

It is the tactical lead, coupled with the strength of his teammates, coupled with Messi's own unparalleled talent, that makes him seem so invincible!

However, there can be no one in this world who cannot be defeated!

In the 16-17 season, when there was a problem with the team's lineup, Messi was also powerless.

In the round of 16 of the Champions League, it lost 4:0 to Paris Saint-Germain!

News media reports at the time believed that Ibrahimovic, who had just moved to Manchester United, might become the biggest loser!

In the end, Barcelona turned the tables, 6:1!

But can it really be said that Messi is performing well?

Neutral fans generally talk more about the referee's performance.

When a referee is at its highest, after a game has passed, everyone is discussing players and tactics, but there is not much impression of the referee, let alone any reason to mention it.

The referee of that game obviously failed to do this.

In the quarterfinals, Barcelona was kept clean by Juventus in two games!

With the golden combination of MSN, Barcelona was stunned that they didn't score a goal in two games!

It can be seen that the ability of one person, even two or three people, is limited after all.

For Zhuo Cunzhi, the same is naturally true.

When Nihat and Kovacevic suppressed Aachen's center-back combination, when Alonso suppressed Bernd, and when Arne could only go all out to deal with Valery's inability to move forward, Aachen's attacking combination also seemed to be much stronger on the outside.

In fact, Frank's absence is not only one less central defender for Aachen, but also one less reliable midfielder.

Bernd's performance has been consistent, but as the team's lone midfielder, when he was blown up, Aachen's defense was almost a sieve!

For defense, Zhuo Cunzhi really can't do much.

As for the offense......

What made Zhuo Cunzhi very puzzled was that the group of brutes on the other side didn't know what they were eating, and they all followed suit. It's the same as love, as if there is so much energy that it can't be used up.

Diligent running, coupled with numerous fouls, made it difficult for Zhuo to break through into the threat zone of Real Sociedad.

As a last resort, Zhuo Cunzhi could only give up the left side and come to the middle to try to play with Mendieta.

However, under the logging tactics of Real Sociedad, Mendieta seems to be so powerless.

Don't think that La Liga is a representative league of technical streams, and you know the severity of a foul.

In the past, Maradona broke his leg in La Liga, and in the future, Bale did not suffer a major injury in the so-called rough Premier League, and after arriving in La Liga, he became Hawking from time to time, and could only cheer for his teammates in a wheelchair.

Of course, just like that, they still can't stop Zhuo Cunzhi.

The so-called star is to face the opponent's heavy opposition all the time.

If you can still stand out in this situation, you can be considered a superstar!

There is no doubt that Zhuo Cunzhi is a superstar, even in such an environment, he can still play well!

Aachen had five shots on goal in the first half, four of which were created by Zhuo Cunzhi!

However, this makes little sense.

As Hag said, there are ups and downs in the team's form, and so do the players.

This game coincided with Joao's poor form.

Having a Joao who is not in good form is like letting Aachen play with one less man!

It is precisely because of this that even Joao has star-level strength, Hag still loves and hates him!

As a last resort, Hag replaced Max in the first half and replaced Christiansen.

The veteran Max is really useless in the opponent's logging tactics.

Even Joao running blindly on the pitch attracted the opponent's defensive strength to a "certain extent".

And Marquez, even in the face of La Liga's defensive defenders, he will fall as soon as he hits!

As a result, it also caused Zhuo Cunzhi's biggest dissatisfaction -

"Are you going to wait until my player's leg is broken before giving a yellow card!" Outside the field, Hach yelled at the fourth official.

Foul on Zhuo Cunzhi, foul on Mendieta, foul on Max, Real Sociedad's defense has been fouled so many times, and there is not even a yellow card!

There were a few free kicks, but just looking at the tricky position, even Zhuo Cunzhi could only shake his head.

Aachen's attack has many obstacles, and Real Sociedad's players don't have so many problems.

1:0。

This is the score of the first half.

It's just a one-goal disadvantage, which makes the players in Aachen have an irreversible emotion.

Seeing that his teammates were impatient, Zhuo Cunzhi was also a little helpless.

Not to mention the others, even he felt his head swell at this time when he heard the non-stop boos of the fans.

He knows very well that the biggest effect of this kind of black whistle is actually to disrupt the opponent's mentality.

The general black whistle is not as blatant as the 02 World Cup and Serie A.

If Aachen can get one, it may not be able to turn the tide.

It's just that after glancing at his teammates who were all manic, and finally fixing his gaze on Hahe, who was also manic and dazed, Zhuo Cunzhi sighed inaudibly......

He was left alone.

But how much of a difference can he make on his own?
