Although he knows that the possibility of advancing to the Champions League final is no longer very likely, the Barcelona team will not give up easily, which Lippi knows and the players of Real Madrid also know.

They lost to AC Milan away by a big score, but they still came back at home to advance, and that's where this team's fighting power lies.

Of course, Lippi won't be afraid of Barcelona either!

"Barcelona is undoubtedly a strong team, and a strong team that will not admit defeat!" Lippi looked at the players below with a determined look and said: "But we are stronger, we have the strength to beat them!" Yes away from home, but even more so at home! ”

"I think there is no need to say much about tactics, in the last round of the game, we focused on using Lin Yu's header attack, this round of the game, of course, we have to use this as a sharp weapon, after all, height is always Barcelona's weakness, but you have to remember that the situation in the game is ever-changing, don't be too stiff, if you can pass a beautiful ground ball, then give the ground ball, detailed your teammates, believe in our shooter Lin Yu, he will convert the pass into a goal!" Lippi smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of anything, overwhelm Barcelona as usual, although many teams have won Barcelona with bus tactics, but we don't need to, we have to suppress them offensively!" Make their offense threat-free! Got it? ”

"Oh!"

……

At the same time, in the dressing room of the visiting team, the Barcelona players were suffering from noise, and they wondered if the previous Bernabeu stadium was not so noisy. Why are Real Madrid fans screaming there like crazy today?

This kind of noise makes many players impetuous.

Thankfully, Barcelona are a team that is very cooperative. After playing, who of them should do it. It has been arranged for a long time, and there is no need to say more in the locker room.

Martino is thinking about what to say to his players and how to motivate them, after all, Barcelona lost at home to Real Madrid in the last leg, which is a blow to the morale of the entire Barcelona team, and he must find a way to save it.

On the other hand, the Barcelona players are eager for revenge, and it is likely that there will be a rash attack like the last time, which will eventually lead to defeat. Martino must also take this into account.

"Real Madrid is very strong, I believe you will not deny this, and you don't have to be unconvinced! In the last leg, we didn't have any advantage on the field, and we lost the last match! It's not a shame, it's that when the master makes a move, we make the wrong move, we don't do our best to win! ”

"Today's game, I know you want revenge. But you must stay calm, and don't be stimulated by the opposing fans or players and behave irrationally! ”

"Keep your cool and give it your all to win this game. No matter how many games we have lost in the past, as long as this game can be reversed and promoted, then we will not lose! Do you understand? ”

The team members all nodded. In fact, there is no need to say much about this game. Barcelona's players also know that they can't afford to lose, even if they end up in a draw and are eliminated. You can't lose, and if you lose again, you really can't talk about it, not only will you not be able to meet the Catalan fans, but you will also attract a lot of cynicism from the media.

They have not forgotten the bitter lesson of being beaten 7-0 by Bayern Munich in the two legs of the Champions League, and since that game, the media have kicked them off the throne of the world number one, and went to the mouth of Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich lifted Bayern Munich to the sky.

They are unhappy, very unhappy, but what can they do, what the loser can do is the background of the winner.

Bayern Munich is a Bundesliga team after all, which is a little better, but if they are beaten by Real Madrid in the league and the Champions League, it will really collapse.

In the past, they ridiculed Real Madrid for not being like a big club, they don't have a big report card, so they are more worried about the same thing.

……

Barcelona's tactical system, which has not changed for more than 20 years, is definitely not easy, and it can be said to be very scary, it is this perseverance that has allowed their team to win the league championship even in the most difficult times, so their combat effectiveness is actually beyond doubt.

So does that mean that Barcelona will not be suppressed?

Not necessarily, the brand-new Galaxy has already challenged Barcelona, and this season, Barcelona has been completely suppressed from all competitions.

In today's game, from the first minute of the start, Real Madrid showed a strong desire to win, completely stunned Barcelona.

Real Madrid played very actively, and in attack, although Cristiano Ronaldo was missing, Di Maria is trying to make up for this shortcoming, so that Real Madrid's attack can play well.

Defensively, Real Madrid chose to retreat almost all of them, they can advance and retreat, between advance and retreat, almost all of them are full, which is a bit like Dortmund's tactics, Dortmund back then, in the case of Lin Yu, relied on such a desperate tactic to kill the powerful Bayern Munich, ending Munich's dream of winning two consecutive Champions League titles.

And today, the same tactics also have Lin Yu, and this Lin Yu is more powerful than the Lin Yu in the past, while Barcelona is not as strong as Bayern Munich in that period, so from the perspective of the field, Barcelona seems to be caught in the rhythm of Dortmund both offensively and defensively.

Barcelona had a feeling today that Real Madrid would always have more players than Barcelona no matter where they go.

It's not a delusion, it's because Real Madrid's players are more willing to run, so they can always have a regional numerical advantage.

It's really hard to defend against Barcelona's attack, and Barcelona are very good at disrupting the opponent's defence with inverted feet or dribbling, and then finding even the slightest flaw and turning it into attack. Or even a chance to score a goal.

It's really hard to do that, even Jose Mourinho, who was known for his defensive skills at the time. I have also suffered losses under such tactics.

So Lippi now sees very clearly that he doesn't want to be on the defensive. He's going to attack after attack.

That's right, my back line is flawed, you have the ability to attack, as long as you dare to attack, we dare to counterattack, and in terms of offense, Real Madrid has the advantage, Barcelona doesn't even have time to reverse feet and dribble, they are like pieces that have been divided. If you can't cooperate, you can only rely on going it alone.

Aren't you very good at cooperating? Then I'm going to sabotage your cooperation, so that you don't have time to fall on your feet, and you will always be in a passive defensive situation! So even if I make mistakes in my defense, if there are flaws, you don't want to take advantage of them.

Of course, this tactic is very physically demanding, and the players must maintain sufficient physical strength. to be able to execute this tactic from beginning to end.

Therefore, in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao, Lippi arranged most of the substitute lineup, just to prevent excessive physical exertion and poor tactical execution.

Two matches a week can be a lot of physical drain on the players. Except for Lin Yu, there was really no one who could hold on.

Lippi's approach has certainly paid off. Judging from the opening period, Real Madrid really suppressed Barcelona. That's where physical strength and tactics come in.

If you add to that the deafening shouts of so many Real Madrid fans at the scene, the pressure on Barcelona is not a little bit. It's a huge pressure that can directly overwhelm them!

……

Martino stood on the sidelines, as if he had ADHD, walking back and forth there, his face was blue and he could see that it was very unpleasant.

yes, how did he get happy? In the opening half of the game, Barcelona's situation was very bad, almost led by Real Madrid's nose, and there was no hope at all.

It had been seven or eight minutes since the game was played, and Barcelona had only one shot on goal, and this shot was a long-range shot from Messi because of his urgency, and as a result, the anti-aircraft gun was released, and there was no threat at all.

Messi's anxiety is not incomprehensible, in the past, the team chose to cooperate cautiously and reverse each other's feet, preferring to slow down the pace a little, and must find a good opportunity before launching an attack, but today they simply do not have so much free time, because their possession rate is once again inferior to Real Madrid, and today is more serious than the last leg of the away game.

So far, Real Madrid's possession rate has reached 64%, while Barcelona's is only a pitiful 36%, which is not like Barcelona playing against Real Madrid, but like Real Madrid has met Levante, and it is Levante who is not performing well.

Because Levante's jersey color is very similar to Barcelona, so when these two teams play, if Real Madrid does not perform well, some fans say that Real Madrid is afraid of the jersey and puts Levante on the spot Barcelona.

But today, no matter how you look at Barcelona, it looks like a tragic Levante.

Martino is thinking about how to deal with this passive situation, he must come up with a way to do it as soon as possible, although the game has 90 minutes, but as long as Real Madrid score a goal, then they are much less likely to come, after all, they lost to Real Madrid at home.

He tried to calm himself down, then walked back to his seat, rubbed his temples with his hands, and lowered his head to think about it, worried that his thoughts would be disrupted again as soon as he watched the game.

……

As long as you watch this game, you will find that Lin Yu's state today is really good, so good that it is unbelievable, his few shots, he alone brought pressure to the Barcelona backline, even more than the pressure of all players in other teams.

Lin Yu also knows that he is in good shape, and that is because he has to work hard even with Cristiano Ronaldo's share.

He's in a hurry to score goals now, no matter how good he is, he has to score in the end to prove it, and if you can't score, it doesn't mean anything if the media blows you up, even if you think you're in great shape.

Now that the team has the advantage, it is all the more important for him to take this opportunity to score, because it is the easiest time to score.

In this game, Martino still used a special person to defend Lin Yu, in addition to Pique, he also ordered Buzques to assist, and today it was not Mascherano who started with Pique, but Barcelona's old captain Puyol.

Martino thinks that to defend a player like Lin Yu, you can't just have body and strength, you must have rich defensive experience.

And Puyol did quite well today, he didn't have to think about anything, just relying on the experience and intuition of so many defenders, he resolved Lin Yu's several shots, don't look at those shots that saved the ball were Valdés, but without Puyol's guidance, Valdés may not be able to do it.

Puyol is like a commander in Barcelona's backline, as if the leaderless dragons suddenly have a leader, and he is clearly playing more reliably than before.

Pique, who was completely blown up by Lin Yu in the last round, did not dare to be arrogant today, he carefully followed Puyol's advice and defended Lin Yu, although he still gave Lin Yu the opportunity to shoot, but he found that today's defensive effect was obviously much better than before.
