If you persist in doing anything for twenty or thirty years, you may be able to reach the ultimate and achieve the pinnacle ().

So it's no surprise that Barcelona has been able to achieve the brilliant results they have today, and there is nothing mysterious or surprising about it. Because it's a fair reward for decades of sticking to their football philosophy.

So will Barcelona be invincible as a result?

Napoli, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, was the first to stand up and say no.

From the first minute of the game, the whole Napoli team was like a chicken blood, putting a lot of pressure on Barcelona.

This pressure is not only reflected in attack, but also in defence, Napoli are also very hard. They stuck to the tactics they had done at Camp Nou in the first leg, laying heavily on their own midfield to cut off the link between Messi and Xavi, while keeping a close eye on the movements of "Little White" Iniesta.

In addition, the defenders are not allowed to easily assist and get out of their positions.

Mazzarri studied Barcelona's football and felt that Barcelona were best at using back-and-forth kicks and passes to disrupt the opposition's backline, and once the opponent's defensive formation was torn apart by Barcelona's passes and movements, it would reveal the void (). These gaps may not be fatal against other opponents. However, Barcelona's players are very skillful and very good at taking advantage of these small gaps, they pass the ball very accurately, and they are very good at maintaining distance, and there are few long-distance passes, which greatly increases the chance of lethal direct passes.

Therefore, the most effective way to defend against Barcelona's fierce offensive is to maintain your own defensive formation and not mess up. No matter how the other person passes and runs, don't be ripped out of your position.

Mazzarhi has been training with his players to stick to their defensive positions no matter what the situation.

This kind of defense may be a bit dull and inflexible. It can be problematic against other teams, but against Barcelona it's a perfect fit.

In addition, in order to strengthen the effect of such a defense, Mazzar asked the team to retreat to the 30-meter area except for Chen Yingying. Increasing the number of defenders in the unit space can make up for some of the holes in the defense, after all, there are only four people in a back line, and there is always something that cannot be taken care of.

Doing so is physically demanding on the players.

So in the last round of the league, Mazzari sent all the substitutes to play Lazio, just to keep the main players alive and play Barcelona.

The two matches in a row are a big burden on the physical fitness of the whole team. For this game, Mazzari really gave up the domestic league completely.

But he paid off. At the moment, Napoli are doing very well in the competition, and Barcelona have nothing to do with them for a while.

Coupled with the huge cheers of the tsunami at the São Paulo Stadium, this home stadium is truly terrifying......

Pep Guardiola stood on the sidelines, his hands in his pockets, frowning ().

The situation and the situation are not optimistic.

Five or six minutes into the game, Barcelona had two shots on goal, which shouldn't have made him frown. But what if the two shots on goal are in a hurry?

Continued to pour his feet, looking for opportunities, but he didn't find a chance for a long time, but let the Napoli players get closer and closer, and finally in order to prevent losing the ball, he had to come with a long shot, and the ball shot was either high or off, and it was outrageous.

How could such an offensive make him happy?

Napoli were quick to retreat in defence, handing over possession to nothing. This was a surprise to Guardiola at first, but he soon discovered that it was intentional. Napoli's tactical thinking should be in the same vein as in the first leg, but in the second leg there were more improvements, such as giving up possession more completely. They don't care at all if it's good looking.

As long as Barcelona can be eliminated, it will be the biggest win.

In the face of such tactics, how can Barcelona break it?

Pep Guardiola stood on the sidelines, pondering.

But time waits for no one, a game is 90 minutes, the situation of the game is still changing, and the wind is surging on the field.

When he comes up with a countermeasure, where will the game go?

※※※

Chen Yingying thinks he is in good shape today, so hot!

Because he had a fire in his heart, a fire that had been holding on since Cassano fell ill. He's going to fire all the shots and bring Cassano a victory.

Since the state is hot, it is natural to vent it as soon as possible.

Although in the first few minutes, it was Barcelona who were pressing Napoli to play, it seemed as if Barcelona had the advantage, and Napoli could be captured at any time ().

But Chen Yingying knows that this is just a superficial phenomenon.

When the team was on hold, he cruising around the centre circle, waiting for a counter-attack. Unfortunately, Napoli had two counter-attacks, and he couldn't get the ball after the ball was passed by a big foot. Barcelona really "took care" of him and sent someone to defend him, still Pique. This time Pique's attitude is obviously more cautious.

It seems that he was completely scared by Chen Yingying in the last game......

These two counterattacks were unsuccessful, in addition to Chen Yingying being followed by Pi Kui inch by inch, another important reason was that other teammates did not come up to support him, making him alone.

However, after more than six minutes, Barcelona's offensive slowed down, and they also needed to adjust their tempo and not always rush on. Because they have already seen that Napoli are playing the idea of defending and counter-attacking, and they want the whole Barcelona team to press and attack, so that everything behind them will be empty.

This is good news for Chen Yingying, who is not afraid of the opponent's shrinking defense, because he is a strong center and a heavy weapon that specializes in breaking dense defenses.

On the contrary, Barcelona's retreat and slowing down the tempo can allow Napoli to press a little more and organize more attacks.

In this way, he Chen Yingying will also receive more support.

※※※

In the eighth minute, Napoli pressed up to attack, Sanchez received a ball from Hamsik on the right side, and he looked up at Chen Yingying, who raised his arm and motioned for Sanchez to pass the football to him.

But Sanchez didn't do that, because he saw Chen Yingying on the line of the big penalty area, a little far from the goal, and there was a Pikui who was following him every step of the way. The Chilean felt that even if it was passed, Chen Yingying might not be able to receive the ball, and even if he received it, under Pique's close defense, it was estimated that he would have to lose ().

So he just glanced up, took the ball forward, and buried his head in the breakthrough.

Chen Yingying saw that Sanchez didn't pass the football to him, so he had to run to the goal, but Sanchez's simple breakthrough was recognized by the opponent, and Barcelona's defender Abidal forced Sanchez to a dead end, and in desperation, Sanchez had to kick the football on Abidal and rebounded out of the sideline. I finally got a throw-in for the team......

Napoli takes the throw-in.

This time there was no entanglement with Barcelona on the right flank, and Hamsik quickly moved the ball to the left after receiving the ball, and the ball reached the feet of Arshavin.

Chen Yingying once again raised his arms high on the line of the big penalty area.

Arshavin also looked up, he saw Chen Yingying with his arms raised, and of course Pique, who was following him every step of the way, in addition to that, there was another Barcelona centre-back Puyol, and near them there was Buzques.

But Arshavin still resolutely passed the ball through.

"Arshavin crossed directly!"

※※※

The trajectory of the ball is a bit high, and only in this way can it avoid being intercepted in the middle of the game.

The football flew high, everyone saw it, and the Barcelona players were ready.

Even Butzkes, who had been watching from the side, decisively gave up the idea of holding the middle, and rushed directly to Chen Yingying's side, intending to use his body to squeeze Chen Yingying and interfere with his receiving the ball.

At the same time, Puyol and Piquee also quickly made a division of labor - Piquee jumped up first to compete with Chen Yingxing, which forced Chen Yingying to control the football without control, and Puyol waited next to him to take advantage of the opportunity to break the ball ().

It's a perfect defensive tactic.

So when Chen Yingying made a posture to jump, he lowered his center of gravity, then kicked out his legs and jumped up...... Piqué jumped up first, intending to get the ball out before Chen Yingying. Although the strategy is to join forces to cut off the football, wouldn't it be better if he could do it in one step and get the football out of the game himself?

Unexpectedly, while his body was soaring into the air like a rocket, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chen Yingying not jumping with him, his body did have a movement of jumping up, but he just stepped on his toes!

This is clearly a feint!

Damn it! Damn it!

This was the only thing Pique thought after discovering this fact.

Because he knows why the opponent is using a feint, because he is destined to not be able to top the ball......

In judging the landing point of the football, Chen Yingying is indeed quite accurate, and he used the feint of jumping to trick Pi Kui into jumping first, because he can't top the ball in this position!

He saw Piqué jump, and he took a step in the other side – where the ball would land.

Sure enough, although Pique tried his best to jump, he was not able to reach the football, and he did not even rub the skin of the football.

At this time, he can only count on Puyol!

※※※

When Puyol saw Pi Kui jumping up, he thought that Chen Yingying had given up fighting with Pi Kui for this ball, but he didn't think that Chen Yingying's retreat did appear at the real landing point of the football, and his teammate Pi Kui didn't even touch the football at all!

"Pikui is on top!" The Catalan narrator exclaimed, and his voice changed ().

What does it mean when the centre-backs go up on the line in the penalty area?

A good enough shooter won't let such an opportunity slip under his feet!

So he, like Pique, can only count on Puyol.

This is a blessing in misfortune, the team's backline has not lost his position, he did not panic, but decisively pounced on Chen Yingying.

It is impossible to take this ball away on the top of Chen Yingying's head.

Now all Puyol has to do is to hit Chen Ying with his body, and interfere with his shooting if the opponent wants to shoot directly with a header. If he stops the ball, then he can't stop the ball.

Of course, the degree of this impact needs to be grasped. However, as an experienced veteran centre-back, Puyol has no problem in this regard.

Even if Chen Yingying can't be allowed to lose control of the football, as long as he doesn't get rid of himself, the chances of winning this defense are quite good!

Because as long as he buys time, Pique and Butzkes can rush over, and the three of them form a circle against Chen Yingying, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it.

He's not Messi, he's very poor with the ball at his feet. This point was mentioned in the previous intelligence about Chen Yingying.

Therefore, as long as Puyol can force Chen Yingying to control the ball with his feet, at this point, it will basically be regarded as Barcelona's defense.

※※※

Chen Yingying seemed to sense that Puyol wanted to hit him, so he turned slightly to the side and crossed his back between the football and Puyol. And then...... Get ready for this onslaught!

The shock came almost with football.

He spreads his arms and stops the ball with his chest (). At the same time, Puyol bumped in the back.

There was no imaginary situation of people turning on their backs, Chen Yingying didn't even shake his body, but the football did not stop steadily, but bounced up again!

This is a mistake to stop the ball!

Could it be that Chen Yingying affected the stop ball under Puyol's collision?

Maybe Puyol knew a little reason - when he knocked down Chen Yingying's body, he didn't feel like he was bumped into it, and there was a cushioned softness. No, it's a hard touch, and it feels like you've hit metal......

Because at that moment, the muscles of Chen Yingying's upper body contracted rapidly, and the softness turned into an object comparable to steel in an instant.

It stands to reason that when the ball stops on the chest, when the ball runs to the moment before it makes contact with the chest, the center of gravity quickly moves back, the chest is closed, and the muscles are relaxed to cushion the impact of the football, which is equivalent to using the chest as a meat pad.

But Chen Yingying's action was completely opposite, he contracted and tightened the muscles in his chest, and at that moment his chest was like an iron plate, so how could the football fall to cushion the falling force, and then obediently stop within the range of Chen Yingxing's control?

Therefore, whether it is from the surface or the deep-seated reasons, this high ball, Chen Yingying can be regarded as a stop mistake. Of course, if he had stopped the ball in the usual chest technique, he might not have been able to keep his body steady under Puyol's impact, which would have resulted in a mistake in stopping......

Barcelona fans were relieved to see the football bouncing high again.

The air raid siren was lifted.
