Chapter 116: Champions League Final (Part II)

Seeing that the score that had just been overtaken was equalized in an instant, Ochilles did not have any superfluous thoughts. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because Ochillus, who has carefully studied Villa's tactics, knows that after the speed of Villa, the attack power is extremely terrifying, which is even more terrifying than Barcelona, which is known for its powerful attacks.

Therefore, the equalization of the score, or even being overtaken again, is an extremely normal thing in O'Chiles's opinion, and it is nothing more than a matter of time. And what they can do, or what Barcelona can do now, is to continue the strategy of the first half - attack. If they can bite the score gap when Villa is running out of energy, or even hold on to the scoreline of the draw, then Barcelona still have a good chance.

In fact, Ochilles also found that Villa's biggest problem was not even in terms of physical exertion, but rather the lack of depth on the bench, at least compared to Barcelona.

After studying the footage of several of Villa's strong matchups, O'Chile found that in the final moments of the second half, the final fifteen minutes of the game, after all three substitutions were exhausted, their overall attacking intensity dropped a notch compared to the first half.

On Barcelona's side, the strength of the substitutes is actually not much different from the main force, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Barcelona has eighteen main players per game (eleven starters and seven substitutes), which is one of the reasons why Barcelona is said to be "slow heat". Because when the overall strength of the opponent team declines due to physical fitness or substitution problems, Barcelona's strength can still be maintained at a fairly high level, and in comparison, Barcelona's strength in the latter stages of the game is naturally considered to be much higher.

For this match, Ochilles has a clear goal, which is to start a decisive battle in the last fifteen minutes of the game.

……

Wang Shuai also knew about Villa's substitution problem, but he never bothered about it. Because when Villa have to deal with bench depth in the game, the game must have entered the final moments. At this time, Villa's accelerated version of TF-BP tactics is enough to gain a lead, and the next task is to guard the goal, which greatly alleviates the problem of substitute strength.

And if Villa has not taken the lead in the final stage of the game, it can undoubtedly show the strength of the opponent, in the face of this kind of opponent, even if the strength of the substitute is equal to the main force, it is impossible to turn the tide at the last moment, and the problem of bench depth is impossible to talk about. Defence-oriented teams like Chelsea and Juventus, of course, are exceptional.

It's just that in today's game, Wang Shuai has to start thinking about the substitution issue. The reason is simple, in the final stages, it would be fine if Villa could take the lead, but once the two teams were tied and Villa's attack was weak, their only option was to keep the goal to the end. It's just that even if Villa can withstand Barcelona's crazy attack in the end, the game will be dragged into extra time, and then in the next 30 minutes, Villa, who has been replaced by three substitutes, will be at an absolute disadvantage.

Therefore, in order to strangle this problem in the cradle, Wang Shuai made a rather simple and crude choice - to strengthen the attack. As long as you can establish or even expand your lead before the final battle, then the initiative is still in your own hands.

In order to establish an advantage, Wang Shuai's TF-BP tactics for Villa in the second half are also castrated versions. Zhou Aniu, including two fullbacks, these three players who usually participate in the attack, were all pressed by Wang Shuai in the backfield today, the purpose is to strengthen the defense and not leave Barcelona any chance to narrow the score gap.

……

Wang Shuai's arrangement was reasonable and had a very good effect, and when the game was played in the 75th minute, Barcelona only scored a goal. This kind of offensive efficiency is undoubtedly a world different from the four goals they scored in the first half, and Barcelona, which has always been known as "slow heat", did not heat up at all today.

Causing Barcelona's offensive inefficiency, Wang Shuai's deliberate strengthening of defense is certainly a very important reason. But on the other hand, several young players of Villa, after 45 minutes of "baptism" in the first half, were no longer so nervous in the second half, and their defensive performance naturally became more and more excellent.

At the same time, several of Barcelona's midfielders, after storming the entire first half, had a much more physical exertion, if not as much as Wang's, than several of Villa's defenders. With all these factors in mind, it makes sense that Barcelona have only scored one goal.

It's just that, compared to Barcelona, although Villa's attack is much more efficient, their performance is only "mediocre", and when the accelerated version of TF-BP tactics is over, counting the goal at the beginning of the second half, they only scored three goals. Compared to the rest of the season, this is just an average level.

And the reason for this is naturally Wang Shuai.

Although Wang Shuai feels that after other teammates accelerate, he can share part of the attacking task for himself, but as the team's offensive and organizational core, Wang Shuai's role in the tactical system is still quite large, so Wang Shuai, who used to be "alive and jumping", has become Wang Shuai who is physically exhausted today, and Villa's offense is of course greatly reduced.

In the case of Wang Shuai's poor performance, Villa's performance still reached the passing line, and I have to say that the performance of other players is really good. As for Wang Shuai, he really dragged the team back in the second half.

Of course, Wang Shuai's performance is understandable, after all, if it weren't for his hard work in the first half, the current score would not necessarily be what it is now.

6:5。

Villa lead by 1 point.

Fifteen minutes remaining.

……

Fifteen minutes, a one-goal lead, everyone knows that there is still a lot of suspense in the game, and Wang Shuai is also struggling with the problem of substitutions.

Prior to this, Wang Shuai had used up a substitution quota and replaced Ribery with Zou Ming, which was a fairly normal substitution adjustment, just replacing an exhausted one with a physical one.

And for the second substitution, Wang Shuai began to hesitate.

The person to be replaced, Wang Shuai has already made a decision, that is, Wu Shi, who is physically exhausted. It's just that Wang Shuai hasn't decided who will play.

Wang Shuai has two options, one is striker Herrmann and the other is central midfielder Greenhouse, and these two are also the two strongest players on the Villa bench right now.

These two options, one for offense and one for defense.

If you choose to attack, then the team's defense will remain at the current level, and Barcelona will inevitably launch an offensive that is even more fierce than the first half when they are one goal behind and there is not much time left in the game, so that Villa may not be able to withstand it. Although the striker is replaced by a striker, Villa's offensive ability is still maintained at a high level, but now the physical strength of other players in Villa's midfield, including Wang Shuai's own physical strength, is not enough to support even one high-intensity attack, so the probability of Villa continuing to score in the rest of the game is not large.

Choosing to defend means giving up the offense completely. Although Villa's defense can be improved to another level after this, as mentioned above, Barcelona's attack will also be strengthened a lot, so it is really hard to say whether Villa can withstand the opponent's attack. And if Barcelona really scored the equalizer, then the game will inevitably be dragged into extra time when Villa is already unable to attack. And after extra-time, Villa's attack will still not improve, so the victory will be completely in Barcelona's side.

……

Just when Wang Shuai was hesitating who to replace, Barcelona had already taken the lead in the final battle.

In the 79th minute, Younils broke through on the right and then crossed the bottom, the center forward Gude headed the ball, and the central midfielder Imari volleyed on the penalty line, and the football went straight to the far corner of the goal. Fortunately, Villa's goalkeeper reacted quickly and narrowly lifted the football out of the bottom line.

Although the goal was not scored, Wang Shuai was shocked into a cold sweat. And it was this ball that made the hesitant Wang Shuai have a decision.

Replace Herman!

Making this decision, on the one hand, Wang Shuai decided to let the team always maintain a certain offensive ability, and giving the initiative to the opponent is something that Wang Shuai definitely does not want to see.

On the other hand, Greenhouse's defensive ability is really good, but that is only limited to the midfield. And Barcelona's second half, especially in the last few attacks, has sent a clear signal. That is, Ochilles already knows that the weak point of Villa's defense is on the wing, and Barcelona has consciously shifted the offensive focus to the side, so Greenhouse in the middle will not have such a big effect on Villa's backline.

What's more, Wang Shuai still has a substitution spot in his hand, and it is really too late to replace Ibrahimovic with Greenhouse. With ten minutes left in the game, Barcelona scored a goal to equalize the score, but it is quite difficult to say that scoring two goals directly overtook the score of the game, after all, if you don't look at the wing, Villa's defensive ability is still quite strong.

……

After replacing Herman, Wang Shuai did not immediately start to organize the attack, anyway, the lead is still Villa, if you can hold the last ten minutes, do not risk the danger of the empty defense line to attack, of course, it is the best.

It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

In the 86th minute, Barcelona's onslaught finally paid off.

Unils, who shined in this game, made another contribution, connecting two people diagonally into the penalty area on the right side, and scored in the far corner, and Unils completed the "big four" of the game.

6:6!

Seeing that the score was equalized, Wang Shuai had no other thoughts except helplessness. Because Wang Shuai saw it very clearly from the sidelines, the physical strength of the Barcelona players was almost consumed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that their previous attacks were playing with a sigh of relief. When they finally equalized the score, Wang Shuai clearly saw that several players in Barcelona were relieved.

It is clear that Barcelona's morale has been drained.

In other words, for the rest of the game, Barcelona will definitely not be able to play a decent attack.

Then, "it's time for the offensive and defensive sides to change ......," Wang Shuai thought.

……

If you choose the "most aggrieved player" for this game, the winner is definitely Zou Ming.

Zou Ming's strength is not bad, at least not worse than the current Ribery, Zou Ming knows this. It's just that because Zou Ming is not familiar with Villa's TF-BP tactics, even the standard version of TF-BP tactics, he was put on the bench this season. It's just that although Zou Ming understands that his role in the team is not as big as Ribery's, he will be more or less resentful when he sees a person who is not as strong as himself galloping on the field, and he can only sit on the bench.

And when Zou Ming was substituted, the game had already reached the 70th minute, and at this time, Villa's TF-BP tactics had come to an end, and Zou Ming naturally did not do anything in such a short time.

Then, Villa turned to defense, and Zou Ming is an attacking full-back, and he can only play a role in containing Yunils slightly, and the containment effect is not ideal. In fact, the first person in the other party's connection before was Zou Ming.

It can be said that after Zou Ming came on the court, he felt that he was completely like a soy sauce existence, which did not help the team at all, and even faintly dragged the team back. In this case, Zou Ming, who has been at the top of the Chinese Super League last season, is about to "can't hold back".

So, in the 87th minute of the game, when Wang Shuai ordered a counterattack, Zou Ming broke out directly.

……

As for Zou Ming, Ochilles didn't know anything about this player at all. Guy because Zou Ming didn't have much of a chance to perform this season, and the only few starts he made were those games that were not very important for Villa. O'Chiles didn't have time to watch the footage of these games, he watched the matches of the strong matchups. In these games carefully studied by Ochileus, even if Zou Ming played, it was in the final stage of the game, and most of this stage has become the so-called "garbage time".

Therefore, in Ochileus's heart, Zou Ming is classified as a "substitute who is not strong".

In fact, if you count the tactical tacit understanding, Zou Ming's comprehensive strength is indeed not strong. But at this stage, when Villa's other midfielders no longer have much physical strength, the so-called tactics can't play any power at all, so at this time, Villa only needs Zou Ming's personal ability.

In the 91st minute, Wang Shuai controlled the ball in the middle, and Barcelona's defenders were on standby, and they could already see that Villa wanted to score a goal in the final stage.

Yunils, the striker who scored four goals, is now also involved in the defence, and he is targeting Zou Ming. It's just that, as if in the blink of his eyes, Yunils found that Zou Ming had disappeared.
