396 Troubled times are coming
Jiang Shan was a little disappointed with Barcelona's performance, not as strong as he imagined.
Of course, he also knows very well that this Barcelona team is completely different from Pep Guardiola's Barca. In the last life, it was rumored that Guardiola stood on the shoulders of Rijkaard, but this is not the case, without Guardiola, Barcelona would not even be eligible to compete for the championship.
The game continues, Atletico are already 2-1 up on the road, and the situation is favorable.
Rijkaard's face was ugly, and he continued to command from the sidelines, allowing the team to continue to press forward and constantly rub against Atletico's backline.
But after the Atletico players contracted their defense, they finally played the essence of the full-court pressing, everyone was moving, they were all helping to defend, and Barcelona's attack was not much of a threat, and it was almost strangled at the edge of the penalty area.
The combination of Khedira and Garcia is becoming more and more leading, and the waist pole is stiff. Atletico's whole attack is three-dimensional.
Jiang Shan was overjoyed, "It turns out that I had to train like this for full-court pressing and full-court counter-robbery, and I was too idealistic before." β
In the previous training, Jiang Shan directly practiced the whole court counter-robbery, although the appearance came out, but the effect was average. After the contraction in today's game, the defensive surface narrowed and every player began to find their position.
The anti-robbery oppression was instantly on the right track.
"Amazing, it turns out that Jiangshan usually trains the whole court to counter-rob, and at critical moments he has to shrink the defense, which is simply a seamless link." Pochettino exclaimed, "Shrinking the defense is done, gradually letting go, everyone expands the defensive surface, isn't this the best way to defend with a full-court counter-robbery and pressing?" β
"Jiangshan's intentions are so profound, I didn't even understand it. It wasn't until Jiangshan took the initiative to release tactics that I understood, alas...... It seems that my abilities are still far behind. Pochettino had a lot on his mind.
Seeing that he was in control of the direction of the game, Jiangshan asked Khedira and Vidal to switch positions and adapt to other positions. Vidal's defensive ability is also good, he is very desperate to tackle, and Khedira is a little ahead, and he can also release his ability to organize the attack.
Khedira is not Pirlo after all, and his ability to organize long passes and read games is slightly inferior, not as good as Pirlo's ghost, and now he can only make up for it diligently.
Rijkaard doesn't quite understand, he has seen a lot of defensive counter-attacking tactics, and almost every day he has to think about how to break down the dense defense, but he sees Atletico's defensive style.
He was still shaken by Jiangshan's tactics, "Can you keep changing positions when you press the defense?" Is this using Atletico as a machine? β
There are many people who think the same way as him. Pep Guardiola is coaching Barcelona's B team and he has been very adaptable and has already built the B team into what he imagined. The B team has a good result and is now at the top of the table, and if it weren't for the rules, they could even play in La Liga next season.
Now, Guardiola is hiding at the scene, watching Jiang Shan's performance in astonishment, "Rijkaard is not Jiangshan's opponent at all, I didn't expect Jiang Shan to deepen his understanding of the full-court pressing tactics in the past few years." β
When he was a teaching assistant in Jiangshan, Jiangshan discussed these issues with him. But without facing a team with strong passing control, this concept has not been implemented, and now it seems that this concept of full-court pressing must be the nemesis of the passing control team.
Whether in Monaco or AC Milan, Jiangshan's team itself is a team that coexists with passing and counterattacking, and in Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga, they mainly play defensive counterattacks, and there is no team with super passing control in the Bundesliga, and the display is not obvious.
"Jiangshan, good job, knock Rijkaard down, and I can take the position." Guardiola thought urgently, constantly licking the corners of his mouth, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, "In this case, I will be able to fight against you." I'm going to see if your ideas are stronger, or if my passing is more advanced. β
The game continued, and the two sides began to make personnel adjustments, and continued to fight through personnel adjustments.
Even with Mertesacker, Jiangshan's team is still solid defensively and very targeted. Messi and Samuel Eto'o are completely limited and difficult to function. Thierry Henry couldn't break through effectively on the flanks and Barcelona couldn't break down Atletico's defence.
"There is still a wide player missing, a player who shoots directly with his feet, and a player who shoots immediately as soon as he gets an opportunity on the side, can you find it?" Guardiola saw the problem, and his heart was even hotter, "I can't wait, this Barcelona team has the ability to dominate football, and I want to be the leader." β
Barcelona has Messi, Xavi, Inesta, plus the back line and Puyol, as long as they adjust a little, they will definitely be able to stand on the top of Europe, but unfortunately, Rijkaard can't do it.
As the game entered the final moments, Atletico continued to attack, and their defensive surface had expanded to almost the whole field, and they could even control the ball calmly. Barcelona's counter-attacking rhythm is not good, and Atletico Madrid's control is increasing.
Rijkaard was very uncomfortable, but couldn't think of a way, how to crack it? This is the biggest problem, and it can't be solved overnight.
"Is there something wrong with Yaya Toure? He seems to be easily out of position in the midfield position, is it out of here? But Yaya Toure is indispensable, and without Yaya Toure, how can we push forward strongly? "Rijkaard is extremely entangled.
Atletico continued to attack, Khedira picked up a pass, gave Vidal, who had switched up, and continued to sprint.
Torres took a slight step and then to the wings, and the two full-backs kept attacking, and the full-backs cut in to attack.
Crossing, Aguero holds the ball, knocks back, to Khedira who is cut forward, Khedira shoots with his feet, without wasting the slightest time, he wants to score, he thinks about going crazy.
When the opportunity came, there was no grasp of it, and the ball volleyed into the net.
ValdΓ©s' goal was penetrated by Atletico for the third time. He knelt on the ground, "Brothers, I did my best, I had too many opportunities to perform today." It's a pity, I just can't prevent it! β
couldn't be stopped, Atletico Madrid's impact was too strong, and Barcelona's defense was crumbling and finally penetrated.
The score changed again, 1:3, Barcelona was by Atletico Madrid three times at home, such a shame is rare.
Rijkaard was almost paralyzed in the dugout, he could accept defeat, but he was beaten without temper, when did Barcelona do this? Especially in La Liga, apart from Real Madrid, who is so good at Barcelona?
"Hehe, today Barcelona can be regarded as seeing Jiangshan's coaching skills, leading Atletico Madrid to play Barcelona, also playing a score of 3:1, or away, Jiangshan is really powerful." Zhang Hehe said excitedly, "After this game, Barcelona's top position will be given to Sevilla." β
'That's right, Sevilla FC have played well this season and haven't tasted defeat yet. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they didn't face a strong opponent in the previous games. If you meet Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, then the troubled times of La Liga will come. Duan Xuan added.
Beep! Beep!
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.
Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 away, taking all three points and continuing to sprint quickly up the standings.
