Chapter 438: A Fullback Without Spirituality

Last season, Lin Yi also played against that Barcelona team. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, Barcelona still had a midfield duo, and although everyone could see that Xavi was very old, no one could deny his role and value to this team. At least his ability to control the game quietly and complement Andres Iniesta is definitely not something Rakitic can match.

Of course, this is not to say that there is anything wrong with the Croatians, but in terms of Barcelona's requirements for midfield, it is almost bad.

As a fan of Barcelona, Lin Yi also once fantasized in his heart about what he would be like if he played in Barcelona.

But it is precisely because of this kind of thinking and research that he also has a lot of experience in how to beat Barcelona.

Objectively speaking, Enrique actually did not bring any improvement to Barcelona, but he relied on his tactical changes to once again stimulate Barcelona's combat effectiveness, allowing them to achieve a very short burst.

This illusion makes many people think that Barcelona is back on top of the world again, I don't know what others think, but Lin Yi knows very well that maybe after this season, Barcelona's problems will erupt again.

Although it is his favorite team, in terms of the identity of the opponent, if they can make their problems explode in advance, Lin Yi will not mind, just like now, after cutting off Rakitic's ball, he immediately took the ball forward.

Rakitic integrated quickly in attack, but Barcelona's usual midfield counter-attacking was still not good enough.

He even hesitated for a long time after conceding the ball, because he didn't expect to be cut off.

As Lin moved forward with the ball, both Reus and Aubameyang rushed in front of him and prepared to respond.

Barcelona's backline only has Pique a high point, and it is indeed a hole in the defense of high-altitude balls.

Although Tuchel has not developed a corresponding tactic, Lin Yi and the three of them have studied this style of play privately.

Alba is okay to say, but Alves's current physical condition is actually not so ideal, after all, he has reached his age.

Therefore, the right side of Alves' town has also become a point of main attack on Dortmund's side.

Royce's method of losing a snack in the first encounter is also very clear, your close defense can limit me, then I just don't let you be close. With that in mind, Royce has been dodging Alves, who is trying to stick to the defense.

The Brazilian's pace was still okay, but after a few switchbacks with Royce, he felt uneven.

Lin didn't forget to observe the situation on the field as soon as he advanced the ball, and after noticing Alves' physical exhaustion here, he immediately got up and sent the ball over.

Reus bounced the ball forward with a quick twist and kick and chased after Alves.

Ter Stegen immediately became nervous at the sight, and he shouted for Mascherano to fill in and block Reuss.

The Argentine actually didn't want to do that, because he still believed in Alves in time to make up for it.

After all, it is more dangerous to have a gap in the wing and the middle or the middle.

But Ter Stegen's urging eventually changed his decision, and he hesitated a little and rushed to the wing.

The tacit understanding between the Barcelona backline was evident at this time, and Alves turned back to the middle without the slightest pause.

Mascherano was not fast either, and he struggled to jam Reuss forward, not knowing that such a defense had worked very well.

The best way to deal with Royce and not let him increase his speed as he expects is the best way.

Royce is also working very hard to adjust his pace and pace in the run, hoping to find an opportunity to make a change of direction. However, there was no way, it was resisted.

Reuss was reluctant and wanted to be with Mascherano again, but he knew that this was not the time to compete.

Stepped on the ball, made an emergency stop, followed by a rub of the ball on the spot, and passed the ball to the penalty area.

Lin Yi, who was waiting for an opportunity outside the penalty area, had already begun to speed up, ready to rush in and make a rush.

Then his wish didn't come true, because Pique was a little too high.

Lin felt that Pique was just tiptoeing slightly, so he grabbed the ball out before he did.

Borussia Dortmund's side is actually in need of attacking success rate, because Barcelona's possession is too consistent.

It's unrealistic to expect them to make mistakes, and it's not easy to get the ball away from Iniesta's feet if they take the initiative to get it away.

In such a situation where there are not many opportunities for attack, the quality of every attack, whether it is positional warfare or counterattack, must be guaranteed.

As a center forward, Lin Yi, who has also returned to participate in defense many times, actually wants to stay in the front court and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

But he knows Tuchel's tactics, most of them need to drop back to defend, and in terms of physical strength, he is better than those two guys.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi once again pasted Iniesta, who was holding the ball.

Lin Yi himself is also a master of ball control, but looking at Iniesta in front of him, he also has to admit that he still needs to improve.

Iniesta's possession of the ball is not very fancy, but even a simple step on the ball and a pluck of the ball can have unexpected effects.

Lin Yi, who is an excellent offensive player, has a lot of predictions about the opponent's offense.

Even every offensive choice and even offensive action of the opponent was expected by him.

However, he tangled with Iniesta several times, but in the end he could not succeed in breaking the ball.

Lin Yi was entangled with him here, and he kept thinking.

Playing against top players like Xavi and Andres Iniesta is actually a process of learning and improving yourself.

Iniesta once again turned and circled Lin Yi and passed the ball to the front.

Barcelona don't just have Andres Iniesta, the front three can pose a very lethal threat to the opposition at any time.

It was as if now, Andres Iniesta's seemingly careless diagonal kick and the ball penetrated the Dortmund defence in one fell swoop. Not only that, Neymar, who received the ball, was almost the easiest to lead the ball and rushed to a place where no one could stop it.

For this wonderful performance, the fans in Paris immediately responded with enthusiastic boos.

Neymar then passed the ball to the player who could best elicit boos from the Parisian stadium. Suarez, who used to shine in Paris last season.

When Suarez received the ball, he made a very slight swing at his feet, and the outside instep flicked and let the ball dodge the opponent.

Then before Hummels could make adjustments, Suarez swept the ball across his defence.

The fans in Paris felt very unhappy when they looked at Suarez's small skills that were very inconsistent with his appearance. Because this kind of offense is really déjà vu, and they just saw it last season, and the victim at that time was David Luiz.

Hummels may not be as flexible as David Luiz, and he doesn't have as trustworthy teammates around him.

Thiago Silva is a very good centre-back and he is partnered with David Luiz for club and country. There is no doubt about the tacit understanding between the two people.

As for Subotic and Hummels, although the two have also teamed up to block many excellent attacking combinations.

But that's in the past.

I don't know when it started, the cooperation between the two people has become less and less tacit.

It's like now, Hummels was supposed to be stuck in the back to make up for the defense, but he just got up and passed the opponent.

Suarez knows his range very well, and here it is, you can take a kick!

Longerak is now very different from before, and in the second half of last season, he was a main player, both mentally and on the field, much better than before.

Although he is now facing a centre-forward who swept across Europe in just a few months last season, his thinking remains clear.

He nervously watched Suarez's touch of the ball and made a judgment in shock.

In fact, he was not sure if his judgment was accurate, but he clearly remembered what the captain had told him.

"Don't hesitate once you've made a decision on the court, because you can adjust if you're wrong, but hesitation will disrupt your rhythm and leave a flaw for your opponent."

Come on!

Standing firm on his convictions, Langlak pounced forward, ready to snatch the ball straight from Suarez's feet.

It's true that Hummels was dismissed, but he wasn't so inactive. At least he relied on his body to hinder Suarez's speed in catching up with football again.

In the end, under the nervous gaze of the fans, Langlak finally managed to save the ball from Suarez's feet.

Suarez shook his hand and stood at the edge of the penalty area regretfully, spreading his hands at Neymar, who passed the ball to him.

It seems that apart from their No. 10, the other players are not so easy to deal with.

Langerak let out a sigh of relief and threw the ball hard into the front of the court, trying to be able to launch a counter-attack.

Castro, who received the ball, did not get Lin Yi's instructions this time, and naturally adhered to the ball and brought the football to the front.

Castro hasn't been training with Borussia Dortmund for a long time, and if you really want to talk about who has the most tacit understanding, it's Park Joo-ho, who has already worked together for a season in Mainz last season.

The South Korean full-back's skills are average, and the strength is the South Korean's usual excellent physicality, as well as his speed.

Against Messi, he was already exhausted just defending, but at the moment he was still rushing up to assist.

After Castro brought himself to a desperate death situation, he was worried about how to get rid of Busquets, who was tall and long-legged and didn't eat your feints at all, when he heard Park Joo-ho shouting to himself.

He swept the afterglow, hurriedly passed the ball, and handed it to Park Joo-ho, who was pressing forward.

Dortmund's side is not very dependent on the fullbacks to press and attack, so Park Joo-ho's forward insertion completely affects Dortmund's offensive rhythm.

Royce couldn't get him back, so he leaned towards the middle of the lane himself, trying to make some space for him on the flanks.

Lin saw Royce's run, and could only pull back on his own, ready to make a response, while also leaving room for his own rush.

After the encounter with Pique just now, Lin Yi was actually very clear that it was not so easy to take advantage of Barcelona with a header.

Park Joo-ho rushed the ball to the bottom line very resolutely, his speed and physical strength made Alves a little amazed, but at the same time, Alves was even more surprised by his offensive choice, such an attack, he just forced the bottom like this, it didn't make sense at all.

Thinking of this, he simply slowed down his pace and cautiously followed his opponent from behind, not sticking too tightly and not letting go.

After Puyol's retirement, Pique has become the core of Barcelona's defense, although his defense is not solid, but he has his own style, and the transformed Mascherano can also make up for him, so Pique can better play his characteristics of being good at top defense.

It's like now, his position makes Lin Yi very uncomfortable who wants to follow up and find a chance to head the ball.

Lin Yi pondered in his heart, it depends on whether this Korean has spirituality, if he can come to the ground rolling cross with a stroke of genius, then maybe there is still a little chance, otherwise he will rush forward this time...... But there is no other point except to consume physical strength.

Enrique stroked the stubble on his chin and said to his assistant.

"Look. That's the attacking option that some of Borussia Dortmund's players would make, and Dani and Jordi wouldn't do that. ”

After Park Joo-ho went down to the bottom line, he was still a little happy when he saw that no one around him, this is the rhythm that can be crossed.

He did that a lot last season because Mainz has a tall centre-forward.

But he seems to have forgotten that last season he passed and passed and relegated his team.

But this guy never seemed to think about this, and he still passed the ball very willfully.

Lin Yi, who was standing at the top of the arc of the penalty area and waiting for insertion, shrugged his shoulders, and then watched Pique appear at the landing point of the football very easily and push the ball out.

Rakitic, who retreated to get the ball, did not hesitate to pass it to Iniesta's feet.

Turning around, Iniesta showed his long-passing skills that have been overlooked.

The ball flew directly over the heads of several people and landed on the front edge of the Dortmund penalty area.

Then Suarez unwittingly bypassed Hummels, who had just been passed by him, and appeared at the landing point of the football.

How can Barcelona, who have always emphasized possession but can play at such a high level, not make the opponent feel hopeless?

Suarez flicked the ball forward, and picked up his right leg against Longerak, who was still regretting the failure of the attack.
