Chapter 303: Eighteen Martial Arts (I)

Half-time, home dressing room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pellegrini was standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by his disciples, standing or doing, while the old Chilean handsome man was holding his chin with his hand and groaning slightly.

The first half was undoubtedly a dream for him and his team, with the pre-match tactics being a great success, and now a two-goal lead, making it a great start.

Yes, just the beginning.

Manuel Pellegrini is an extremely experienced manager, and he will naturally not be carried away by the temporary two-goal advantage, which may be a winning advantage against an average team, but for a top club like Barcelona, two goals is not a complete insurance.

The reason why the giants are called giants is that they have the heritage and temperament that ordinary teams do not have, they are often able to catch up in adversity, and there are many examples of reversals in world football, Barcelona has so many stars, and their flash may be able to bring unpredictable changes to the situation of the war.

Most importantly, Pellegrini understands that the reason why the team has been able to take the initiative is entirely because of the tactical rivalry, and in terms of overall strength, Villarreal is still a step behind Barcelona.

"Follow the plan you made before the game."

Manuel Pellegrini made up his mind.

During this short fifteen-minute break, he didn't know if Barcelona would make adjustments and what adjustments, but the tactics and strategies he had already formulated could not be disrupted. Follow the plan step by step and try to maintain the advantage all the time.

With this in mind, the Chilean engineer began to arrange it in an orderly manner.

"Dahl, hard work, you take a break in the second half."

Thomason nodded, signaling that he understood. He only had 45 minutes in the first half, which was already clear, so he didn't have any opinions, let alone any dissatisfaction, firstly, he had already had a great performance, and scored a goal and provided an assist, and secondly, his body he knew, and his physical strength was not enough to ensure that he played the whole game with high intensity.

It's understandable to sacrifice yourself for the good of the team as a whole.

"Leo, you're on in the second half."

Naturally, Leo is not referring to Barcelona's Messi, but to Mavuba in the submarine lineup.

Remove a striker and replace it with a midfielder, Pellegrini's intention is obvious, that is, to consolidate the defense, to play a defensive counterattack, anyway, we have two goals in hand, don't panic, if Barcelona is unwilling, then good, you come to fight me, you can score goals, you have the ability, you can't score goals, and you are killed by our counterattack, that is deserved!

Mavuba nodded in the same way, and Pellegrini looked at Riquelme again, who tapped his head knowingly; The Chilean then looked at Fan Bizhuang.

"Fan."

Pellegrini screamed, patted Fan Bizhuang on the shoulder in silence, and unconsciously used a bit of force, implying encouragement and expectation.

"I know what to do, sir, and you'll see!"

Fan Bizhuang nodded heavily, with a confident face.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Fifteen minutes later, the two teams were back on the field.

After halftime adjustments, the morale of the Barcelona players has finally recovered a lot, and many people still have strong fighting spirit and confidence on their faces. I think it was Rijkaard who gave the players an impassioned encouragement in the dressing room, which made the Barcelona players who were temporarily behind regain their confidence.

The change for Barcelona was obvious, at the beginning of the second half, their passing speed increased sharply, and the distance between them was not too far, this is to ensure the success rate of passing due to the slippery field conditions, and in attack, they also played more patiently, without good chances, and will not blindly push forward.

Barcelona are known for their passing skills, but now they aim to control the ball and control the tempo, and after consciously doing so, their possession rate continues to rise, and they soon lead the home team by an absolute percentage.

However, Villarreal is not in a hurry, the possession rate is just that, this does not mean anything, their strategy in the second half is to defend and counterattack, the opponent wants to control the ball, let him control it, anyway, the football can't get into the goal, it's also in vain.

Riquelme was more likely to run back and forth between the middle and the wings, while Mavuba and Senna, the two heavily covered midfielders, were frantically sweeping in midfield, while the rest of the players were also actively defensive, leaving Forlan alone in the front and a Van Bizhuang roaming the midline.

The entire backfield is run like an iron pass, and in such a situation of minimal space, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if Barcelona wants to open a hole.

Barcelona stepped up their passing control and tried to get a success rate, while Villarreal's response was to create a cage and not give their opponents a chance.

The two teams are like two skilled martial arts knights, you make a move, I will dismantle the move, and they will not give an inch.

Of course, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for the home side, after all, Villarreal are the leading side, and even if this stalemate is maintained until the end of the game, it will be the home team who will win.

"Damn bastards, what a damn bastard!"

Seeing that the situation slowly fell into a stalemate, Barcelona coach Rijkaard, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but burst into foul language. He made a change at half-time, but he didn't expect to be expected by the opponent again, removing a striker and replacing a midfielder, which was to intercept their attack, and the opponent did this to an obvious effect, his team had empty possession, but it was difficult to have a chance to penetrate the ball and threaten the ball.

Thinking of this, Rijkaard felt a lot of depression and powerlessness, today's game, no matter what the result is, he can be said to be a failure as a manager, the opponent seems to have figured out his routine a long time ago, he can only be led by the nose by the opponent all the time.

This feeling is uncomfortable, but there is nothing he can do about it, because at this time, he does not know how to break the situation. Even if he was anxious at the moment, he could never find a solution, so he could only pray silently for the team, and at the same time hope that his disciples would be able to have a flash of inspiration.

"Frank's ideas and routines have been thoroughly understood by Villarreal, and he is completely led by the nose and unable to do anything."

In the VIP box, the coach of the Spanish national team, Aragonés, shook his head and sighed, and then praised Roig beside him, "Your Chilean coach is really amazing, he can think of everything before the opponent and make a layout." ”

"Manuel is really a wise manager."

Roig had a big smile on his face, his team had a two-goal lead and maintained great restraint on Barcelona, how could he not be discouraged. In his opinion, as long as it continues, then the team's victory over Barcelona will be a sure thing.

Ha, the country team counterattacked the rich and handsome Barcelona, such a scene, it is exciting to think about it!

Aragonés only smiled lightly at the undisguised excitement of the chairman of the submarine, then shook his head again, and said regretfully: "If there is no big accident, it is difficult for Barcelona to see the hope of turning the tables." Villarreal were excellent overall and tactically correct, but ...... Fan's state today is very average. ”

Who wins and who loses between Villarreal and Barcelona, to be honest, Aragonés doesn't care too much, he came here to inspect Fan Bizhuang, and as a result, Fan Bizhuang didn't have too many bright performances throughout the first half, if it weren't for the two goals of the home team related to it, the Chinese teenager could even be described as mediocre.

But then again, the teenager is so low-key that he can help the team take a two-goal lead, and if Fan Bizhuang really breaks out, how much energy he can radiate, which is extremely exciting.

"Ha, didn't Fan behave? Hey, maybe it's because of Manuel's tactical arrangement. In short, the most important thing for the team to win is that Fan, maybe he will play next? Just take a look. ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Royger's words were more like a comfort or expectation, but what no one expected was that they turned out to be a word.

As time passed, Barcelona, who had never been able to advance the offensive to the opponent's hinterland, began to become anxious, and their attack unconsciously became fierce again, which brought great pressure to the opponent and gave the opponent a lot of opportunities to counterattack.

In the 59th minute, after Villa's continuous breakthroughs in the front field were blocked, the football reached the feet of Riquelme, and the Argentine had already observed the ball line, and directly took a long pass to find Fan Bizhuang without stopping the ball.

Fan Bizhuang, who has not had much bright spots in the game so far, is like a lightning bolt across the night sky at this moment, starting quickly, sprinting quickly, and smoothly receiving the football at the moment when the football falls, and then running wildly with the ball.

Barcelona's line pressed too high, Villarreal switched from defense to attack too quickly, and Fan Bizhuang's counterattack speed was incomparable, and the teenager easily threw off Yaya Toure and Abidal who were following the defense, and went straight to the middle.

How terrifying Fan Bizhuang is that the speed has been fully up, this is something that every La Liga team knows very well, Puyol fought and retreated, but was forcibly thrown off by Fan Bizhuang with speed regardless of it, and in desperation, the Barcelona captain could only stretch out his foot and trip it.

Puyol paid the price for a yellow card, while Villarreal was awarded a direct free-kick from around 28 metres in front.
