After this light-hearted and hilarious friendly match, the Super Cup match is getting closer and closer, and the whole Villa team has entered the final stage of preparation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the end of the Community Shield, Wang Shuai's "opponent player information" refreshed Barcelona's player profile.

Of the four master players, Barcelona's strength is a little weaker than the Brazilian team in the World Cup, and Aston Villa's strength is also much stronger than the Chinese national team, so for this game, Villa's situation is not as desperate as the Chinese team in the World Cup. Of course, despite Villa's hopes of winning, the odds are slim.

Barcelona, like the Brazilian national team, is an attacking team, but the difference is that Brazil's attack relies on speed, while Barcelona relies on possession.

After Manchester City, Barcelona is the second team that Wang has encountered since arriving in England to focus on midfield passing. And for a team with this style, there are generally two ways to deal with it. One is to use speed to disrupt the opponent's formation. The second is to also play possession tactics, as long as you can control more steadily than the opponent, then you can naturally gain the upper hand, which is really not good, and you can also use the ball to drag the game into a draw.

For Aston Villa, the first method is of course better than the second, because if they want to compete with Barcelona on the ball, Villa are obviously not strong enough. In fact, there is only one Bayern Munich team that can wrestle with Barcelona in midfield.

It's a pity that Wang Shuai's tactical improvement is still in its infancy, and it is obviously unrealistic to use this unfinished tactic to face Barcelona now, so in desperation, Wang Shuai can only use the second method, that is, to focus on ball control tactics.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to use only the original TF-BP tactics, although Wang Shuai's own ball control skills are unmatched, but after all, it is difficult to support alone, and Villa's midfield strength is still not as good as Barcelona's. Therefore, when facing Barcelona, TF-BP tactics must also be adjusted, and the method of adjustment is to accelerate.

This acceleration is not the same as the overall acceleration of the TF-BP tactical formation that Wang Shuai wants to improve. The acceleration of this game refers to Wang Shuai's own acceleration. A group of people will naturally run chaotically, which is also a problem that Villa's current tactical training is solving, but if there is only Wang Shuai alone, Villa's formation will naturally not be chaotic. After all, Vera's entire tactical system was all arranged by Wang Shuai, and he naturally knew when and where he was available, so that he would not disrupt the original formation. What other players have to do is to always pay attention to Wang Shuai's position.

……

There are generally two types of so-called possession tactics. One is to choose a player with outstanding foot skills as the core organization player, most of the time this player also controls the ball, and then transfers the ball to other offensive players at the right time, Wang Shuai used this ball-control tactic when he was at Youzhou Institute of Technology.

The second is a net of midfielders, with the ball constantly passed between these players, with the whole team controlling the ball, as Villa's TF-BP tactics use.

Now facing Barcelona, Wang Shuai's improved ball-possession tactics are between the above two ball-control tactics. Although football is also passed back and forth between all the midfielders, there is an additional "transfer station", that is, Wang Shuai who is running around, and it can be said that most of Villa's passes will pass through Wang Shuai's feet.

And this kind of possession tactics obviously caused a lot of trouble for Barcelona.

Barcelona are in a 4-3-3 formation with a two-man midfield configuration, which could theoretically be used to keep an eye on all of Villa's midfielders. Two central defenders defend Wu Shi and Ibrahimovic, two full-backs defend David and Ribery, two midfielders defend Wang Shuai, and the front defenders defend Zhou Aniu.

But Barcelona, like other attacking teams, is relatively weak in defense, and Villa's attack is very strong, so it is dangerous to rely on two central defenders to keep an eye on Villa's two forwards. In this way, the defensive pressure shared on Wang Shuai is naturally much smaller.

Originally, this was not a big deal, after all, one of Barcelona's midfielders, Bristol, is also a master player, even if he has to take care of the third line of defense, he can watch Wang Shuai with the help of his teammates. But in this game, after Wang Shuai ran up, Barcelona's two backs gradually had no time to take care of the team's backfield in order to watch Wang Shuai, so they directly gave Villa a chance.

In the 17th minute, Wang Shuai received David's pass on the right side, did not stay and transferred directly to Zhou Aniu in the rear, and then ran directly to the middle, and Zhou Aniu did not let the ball stay at his feet for too long, and knocked it back to Wang Shuai, and the two completed a collision with the wall.

Wang Shuai, who got the ball again, looked up at the penalty area, where Wu Shi and Ibu were already waiting for their chance. Seeing this situation, Wang Shuai gave an offensive signal to the two strikers, and the two immediately started running without the ball in the penalty area. At this time, Barcelona's two defenders were still staring at Wang Shuai, and they didn't notice the movement in the penalty area at all, and only two central defenders were staring at Wu Shi and Ibrahimovic to defend one by one, or when the two of them were running, it was obviously slightly insufficient.

So, after Wang Shuai created a passing gap for himself by pulling the ball sideways, he happened to see Ibrahimovic run to an open space, and then passed the ball out without hesitation.

Seeing the football enter the penalty area, the central defender who was marking Ibrahimovic naturally knew that his goal was threatened, so he immediately stepped up his pace to jam Ibrahimovic's shooting route, and the other central defender also temporarily gave up following Wu Shi's pace and began to assist in defense.

Ibrahimovic is known for all kinds of unbelievable ways of scoring goals, and his kicking accuracy is naturally not bad, so after seeing that he has no chance to shoot on goal, and Wu Shi is temporarily vacant, Ibrahimovic accurately passed the ball horizontally, and the football passed between the legs of another central defender and came to Wu Shi's feet.

At this time, the central defender who was "pierced" naturally knew that he had made a serious mistake, but at this time he had no chance to remedy it, and watched Wu Shi push at a small angle and break through his own goal.

1:0!

……

Watching the team fall behind by one goal, Barcelona's head coach of course knew that his team's defensive routine was being targeted by the opponent, and he also understood where Barcelona's defensive holes were. So he took advantage of the gap before the kick-off in the center circle and gave the team a new directive.

It was Bristol who defended Wang Shuai one by one, and another defender assisted in the penalty area.

Logically speaking, Barcelona's tactical adjustment is not wrong, although it weakens the defense of the midfield, but there are three players defending the penalty area, as long as Villa's attack does not complete the final blow, no matter how good the midfield organization is, it is useless.

It's just that Barcelona's manager obviously overlooked one thing, that is, Wang Shuai's strength.
