Chapter 267: Looks Good

Barcelona, as a team that emphasizes control and pressing, did not go straight to the ball after getting the ball. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Valdés, holding the soccer ball in his hand, shouted something twice and ran the ball to the left wing.

On the left flank is the young Jordi Alba, a fast-paced full-back who is not only a regular left-back for Barcelona, but also a regular for the Spanish national team, with a strong attacking ability and desire, often pressing close to the opposition penalty area.

His offensive prowess is like a double-edged sword, stabbing his opponents and potentially hurting his own.

On Jurgen Klopp's tactical board, Jordi Alba's left side was heavily coloured with markers.

'Barcelona controlled the football as always, Alba passed the ball to Busquets, who controlled the football.

Because of Xavi's age, Sergio Busquets, the youngest in the midfield triangle this season, has often stepped up to help his big brother share some tasks.

It's as if now, the football is controlled by him at his feet, and he is not in a hurry to overdo it.

Jurgen Klopp sat on the sidelines, staring wide-eyed as the pitch went.

From time to time, he would look back at the Argentine who took over at Barcelona at the beginning of the season, and Martino's fat face was full of tangles and nervousness.

Coaching such a strong club as Barcelona is definitely not an easy task.

Just like Martino now, maybe he would rather be coached by a relegation team.

Barcelona's usual football philosophy is clearly not something Martino can fully understand, and this question has been haunting him.

Xavi held the soccer ball and combed the team with a short pass.

From time to time, when the opponent grabs, he will show his skills of turning in circles on the spot.

Lin Yi received a notebook that recorded this technique, which he had also seen Thiago use in the previous game against Bayern.

However, at the moment, watching Xavi as an opponent use it in actual combat, he still has a refreshing feeling.

When Thiago uses this technique, he shows more of the speed and agility of a young player.

And Harvey used it in front of him, which made Lin Yi feel a kind of harmony and comfort, full of rhythm.

Xavi didn't move quickly to get rid of Bender's tackle and then slotted the ball out to the right.

Barcelona's two wings were actually very aggressive, and Alves accelerated to the back of Dortmund when he received it.

Lin Yi remembered what the coach had told him before the game, to hit the opponent's ribs more gaps.

Looking at it now, the coach's arrangement is indeed quite reasonable.

Once the two full-backs dribble forward, it was the sound of an attacking horn for Barcelona.

Alves was in no man's land on the flank, speeding all the way past Schmelzer.

Barcelona don't have a real high striker, so they don't usually choose to play that kind of high ball cross from the wing.

Attacks from the flanks are more likely to be a threat to the opposition from the combination of wingers and full-backs and midfielders.

Sanchez on the right leaned in into the box and pulled out space for Alves.

I don't know if Alves was afraid of Reus's counterattack, or if there was something else, but in short, he brought the ball to the front, didn't press deeper, and passed the ball directly to Sanchez, who leaned towards the middle.

Sanchez, who was on his back, didn't even make a stop to the ball, and directly knocked the inside of his foot to give the ball to Messi, who ran to his left back.

After receiving the ball, the Argentine king did not rush to accelerate, but just stabilized the rhythm of football.

A lot of people thought he was trying to wait for his team-mates to run and then send the ball.

But only his teammates know that it's his current physical condition that doesn't allow him to make too drastic technical moves.

After stabilizing the ball, Messi took two steps to the side and opened up the distance between him and Schmelzer.

"Barcelona's attack is still not rushed, after all, they have two superweapons with incredible lethality."

The two killers that Duan Xuan mentioned are naturally Messi and Neymar, both of whom have outstanding personal breakthrough ability.

And the most unknown one in this Barcelona forward line is also known as "Chilean Cristiano Ronaldo".

Messi, who took the ball, faced Schmelzer and did not entangle with him too much, taking two steps back or quickly choosing to pass.

Barcelona's attack never drags, and even Messi doesn't control the ball too much at his feet.

The ball was passed to Iniesta, who immediately quickly overplayed the ball to Xavi in order to remain in control.

Originally, with the tacit understanding between these two people, there would be no problems at all with such a transmission and cooperation.

But there was an accident on his home turf today, and Sven Bender, who had been waiting for his chance, rushed quickly and intercepted the ball.

There was nothing surprising about this situation, and with Barcelona's counter-attacking ability, it was entirely possible to react immediately and cut the ball back again.

This is also what Martino, who felt a little nervous, wanted to see, but it was a pity that Iniesta, who was about to go up and fight back, actually fell on the field himself at the moment of acceleration.

Klopp was actually very nervous when he saw someone fall on the field, but if you look closely, the position where Iniesta fell is too embarrassing, right?

Because the nearest Dortmund player to him is also two meters away.

Iniesta, who fell, was still calm, and quickly jumped up and ran to where he should have been.

After Sven Bender broke the ball, just like in training, he passed the ball quickly and gave the ball to Lin Yi's feet.

Dortmund's strategy before today's game is to play against Barcelona.

But the difference is that the main idea of Barcelona's attack is to keep possession and look for opportunities.

Dortmund, on the other hand, found opportunities to attack quickly on the basis of possession.

So although they are both possession, the attacking style of the two teams is different.

After receiving the ball, Lin Yi chose to attack by himself, pulled the ball, and turned around.

"Dortmund launched a counterattack again, and Bender broke the ball and handed it to Lin Yi!"

The moment Lin Yi turned around, he ran into Harvey who was robbing head-on.

Two good midfielders are in head-to-head conversation at the moment.

Although Lin Yi's fame is much smaller than Xavi's, and the honors he has won are far less than those of Spanish stars, Xavi maintains enough respect and vigilance for Lin Yi.

The moment the two faced each other, they did not pay attention to the opponent's body movements, but looked into the opponent's eyes at the same time.

Xavi's eyes were as flat as his expression, and perhaps his facial expression wouldn't necessarily change for the rest of the game.

When Lin Yi saw Harvey's eyes thinking like this, Harvey was actually feeling about him.

I don't know what this young man has learned from that notebook, whether he has enough insight.

"Lin Yi and Harvey are one-on-one, and after a change of direction, he gets rid of Harvey!"

Passing a midfielder who is not primarily a defensive task and has begun to decline in his thirties, Lin Yi really has nothing to be happy about, because there are too many difficult opponents in front of him.

Instead of coming up to guard him, Busquets stepped back and directed his team-mates to get into position.

Now is the time!

Lin Yi took advantage of Busquets' failure to mark himself, and Barcelona's two full-backs pressed too high and did not retract, and passed the ball to the gap exposed in Barcelona's ribs.

This time he played the ball to the left and it was Reuss who received it.

Alves is now in his prime, both in terms of speed and reflexes.

Lin Yi grasped this, so after he ran up and down two times, he hit the ball to the side of his defense.

Reuss, who received the ball, flicked the outside of his instep, stopped the ball in front of him, and chased after it quickly.

Puyol was aware of the danger as soon as he saw his opponent's stance, beckoning his partner Pique to defend in the middle and pounced on Reus with his hands behind his back.

Because Dortmund's attack was fast-paced, when Puyol pounced, Reus was actually on the edge of the box.

Barcelona fans aren't too nervous about the breakthrough of this handsome German lad, you're up against our captain!

Reuss had a previous match with Puyol when he was in the national team, when Reuss was a fledgling and was joining the German national team for the first time.

That scene, Puyol, who was still in full swing at the time, made him feel what is called despair.

An unquenchable fighting spirit combined with a strong body, as well as close defense and fill-up slots that make you feel like you're even getting your breath blocked.

That's what Reuss knew about Spain's No. 5 at the time, so when he played again, his attention was very focused.

He changed the rhythm of his feet and kept shaking his shoulders in an attempt to confuse the Spaniard.

Puyol stood firmly, with his hands behind his back, completely unmoved.

Royce also knew that the quality of his feints was definitely not as good as Lin Yi, who was good at this.

In the end, he simply gave up these tricks, his center of gravity sank, and after a false shake, he knocked on his toes, wanting to accelerate and force a breakthrough through Puyol.

In fact, when he did this action, Royce was already mentally ready to be cut off.

And when his foot touched the football again, he himself was a little stunned, I actually ...... Just got him over at once?!

"Royce got rid of Puyol in a one-on-one! He's in the restricted area! ”

Pique wanted to rush out to make up for the defense the moment Big Brother was passed, but his center of gravity was actually already in front of him, ready to accelerate and rush up.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lewandowski plugged in from the side and back.

Once he pounces out, then this striker who staged a big four in the face of Real Madrid will be empty!

It's definitely not safe, then...... Just let Royce burst in.

In fact, Pique's decision is very correct, Reus, as a winger, is not his most common means of shooting after cutting inside, but Lewandowski is an opponent who has to care about no matter what.

Royce was overjoyed when he saw that his opponent had let himself go.

Ah? I'm so relieved, then I'll let you know the cost of ignoring me!

Thinking so, he pressed the ball forward a little distance.

Then he quickly adjusted his feet, ran a few steps, and opened his right leg.

He doesn't use it often, but that doesn't mean he can't, and he's ready to kick it to wake Valdés up.

The picked up right leg had already fallen, and Royce glanced at the football and quickly raised his head. Come on, far upper corner!

If you want to say that his kick, if he really kicks out, the threat is not great, and he may even score directly.

But just before his foot touched the football, a kick came from behind him and knocked the ball out of its original position.

Although the force of this kick was not great, it also made the ball roll by more than 20 centimeters.

And this time was something that Royce didn't expect at all, and he still fell down as he expected.

Then he kicked into the air and fell to the ground due to too much inertia.

There was a shrill laugh and shouts at the Camp Nou.

Kicking the ball away from behind is still their old captain Puyol, the Lion King who will always put them at ease.

A small number of Dortmund fans waved their fists and scolded angrily to express regret, if this kick is shot, Valdés may not be able to block it.

Puyol, who forced his leg to destroy the ball, only felt that his waist was already weak, and he stiffened up two steps, controlled the ball, and then turned around and passed the ball.

Although the defense looked to be working, Puyol felt that he was a little out of breath.

And he himself knows very well that if this is a two-year setback, Royce may not even have a chance to pass himself.

A nervous Martino let out a sigh of relief and rushed to the sidelines to shout for the midfielders to take control of the pace of the game.

Klopp, who watched the Argentine fat man yelling, was rarely silent today, but at this moment he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Puyol did limit Reus this time, but could his stamina allow him to make such an effective remedial defense a few more times?

In other words, this season's Barcelona still maintains their initiative and strength on the field, and the results of many key games are also good, but these ...... It's actually just as good as it looks.

This season, Barcelona's injury problems are very serious, and the team is short of substitutes, and most of the games rely on these main players.

It can be said that Barcelona's results and performance this season are all obtained by overdrawing the physical fitness of the players and even their careers.

In such a situation, what do we have to worry about? As long as you can play about the same, will it be difficult to win such a completely overdrawn team?

Puyol cut off the ball and passed it to midfield, then waved at Pique.

Pique understood and shifted his position forward.

"Borussia Dortmund played very aggressively against Barcelona today, and it seems that they are hoping to achieve something at Camp Nou!"

What can't be hoped for against such a Barcelona team that only looks good? (To be continued.) )
