Chapter 373: Messi pushes the empty door
1-0, Barcelona at home did not leave any room for the opponent and took the lead with Liang Zhao's long-range shot. It only took seven minutes to take the lead, which also made Mourinho, who originally wanted to grind with Barcelona, have to stand up and rearrange his tactics. Against a team like Barcelona, it seems that there is nothing more terrible than being behind the score. After all, if they were to get into possession mode, their team would probably not even touch the ball a few times. If that's the case, there's no chance at all......
Therefore, Mourinho proposed a very simple and crude tactic to his players, that is, let them take advantage of the convenience of kick-off, simply organize and start attacking directly. Aim to be able to get the lost ball back quickly. This does not seem to be in line with Mourinho's usual style, but everyone knows that if they just use the usual way to deal with Barcelona, the result will be miserable......
He Xu and Kaka stood in the middle circle, Kaka looked at He Xu who was standing in front of him with a wry smile and had not touched the ball a few times, "Their midfield has become more difficult to deal with!" Looks like I should pass the ball to you from my feet as soon as possible. ”
When He Xu heard this, he nodded knowingly, he knew that Kaka was letting himself retreat more. At the end of the day, Kaka can no longer treat the opponent's entire backline as if it were in the past. More often than not, he needs He Xu's support and help from the drawdown. After kick-off, He Xu did not rush forward, but briefly passed the ball to Kaka in the midfield, and then reflexively moved forward.
"Real Madrid kicks off. They suffered a blow in just seven minutes of the opening game, and it can only be said that Liang Zhao's long-range shot was a bit sudden, and it caught Casillas off guard, I think, this may also be a declaration of war for Liang Zhao's teammates in the national team with his actual actions. How will Jing Yu and He Xu deal with it? ”
Just as Yu Xing said this, two Chinese players from Real Madrid had already given the answer. After He Xu, who retreated to receive the pass, received Kaka's pass, he did not pass the ball back, or turned around to attack with the ball himself, but swept sideways and handed the ball to Jing Yu, who was inserted at high speed on the side. Burned the flames of war to the side.
Jing Yu's side. He has a direct dialogue with Barcelona's attacking core Andres Iniesta, a thin Spanish superstar who has average defensive ability. However, it is often possible to break the ball from the feet of the opponent who is dribbling the ball. There is no other reason. One is based on his accurate prediction of the movement of the football, and the other is on his fast feet.
Jing Yu thought that he could rely on his outstanding speed to dribble the ball and directly eat Xiaobai. Who knew that Iniesta, who was following him from the side, accurately stretched out his foot, slammed on the football, and kicked the football out of Jingyu's control.
Jing Yu, who was in a running state, was too late to turn around and control the ball, and Iniesta had already pulled back the football and quickly switched from defense to attack.
In Guardiola's pre-match arrangement, this game is actually dominated by two wings, because Real Madrid's two side midfielders do not have strong defensive ability, whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Jing Yu, both of them are good at attacking. And in the middle, let Liang Zhao face Modric and Xavi alone. Alonso and the two of them are still a little difficult after all. Therefore, it is the wisest choice to let Xavi and Iniesta, who have excellent passing vision, send a pass to Liang Zhao, who is empty in the middle, after attracting the defense on the wing.
Ramos, who was on the right, saw Iniesta break in the midfield and wanted to counterattack quickly, so he immediately pressed forward. He knew the quality of his team-mates in the national team and knew that if he was allowed to dribble through midfield so easily, it would be a problem. So he stepped up in a few steps and tried to get stuck in position, and just as he was about to reach out and break the ball, Iniesta slammed the ball with the inside of his right foot, then slammed forward with his left foot and passed the ball between Ramos's legs! Because of Ramos's forward press, there was already a gap on the right side of Real Madrid, and Pedro, who had a keen sense of smell, appeared in the open space unconsciously, and Iniesta sent the ball away with a deft pass when Ramos was closest to him. After Pedro received the ball and turned, he was directly faced with a half-empty penalty area.
Sergio Ramos's tackle on the top made Mourinho furious, and he rushed to the sideline and shouted, "Watch your position!" Retract me into the middle lane! Don't miss anyone! ”
In fact, there is nothing wrong with his command, because Pedro's shooting skills seem to make it difficult for him to complete a threatening shot at such a small angle on the side, and on the other hand, Barcelona's middle, whether it is Liang Zhao, who has scored before, or Messi, who has been unknown since the start of this game, is a big killer with considerable lethality. Originally, Mourinho still had three points of contempt for Liang Zhao in his heart, but when he saw Liang Zhao's goal that almost knocked his team to hell, he regretted his thoughts a little. How can a midfielder who can stand on his feet at Barcelona not have something outstanding? Careless......
Unfortunately, while he was shouting, the young Varane had already rushed to Pedro, who had the ball, trying to cut the ball off from the feet of the winger, who had never played spectacularly, but could only be said to be a decent one.
Young people are always passionate, and that can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing. Especially when you're facing an old and cunning opponent. Watching him pounce on him, Pedro, who is only 1.7 meters tall, calmly stretched out his foot and circled the ball. Vala, who was a full twenty-one centimeters taller than him, said secretly in her heart: flashy movements, look at me......
That was the end of his thoughts, and then it came to an abrupt halt because Pedro, who had circled the ball with his right foot, did not continue with his left foot, and the left foot he lifted was only covered by his right foot, and the ball was tucked between Varane's long legs. At this time, there was only one Pepe left in the middle, and in the front, there was Liang Zhao and the Argentine king Messi, who made all the defenders feel terrified......
"It's out! Liang Zhao received the ball, paused, and passed! Golden opportunity! The ball went in again! Messi, after receiving Liang Zhao's pass, pushed the empty goal and scored! Liang Zhao's pause completely attracted Pepe and Casillas, and then he passed the ball diagonally to Messi, who continued to step forward, and the timing was just right, there was no offside! A classic Barcelona-style combination! 2-0, Barcelona went on to score another and I think Mourinho should make adjustments now. Maybe he's wondering why a football game doesn't have a timeout like a basketball game. ”
Yu Xing was really right, Mourinho wanted to call a timeout, and then call his disciples down and scold them. He didn't understand what these people were doing. Have you yet woken up from the rhythm of the national team? Do you still think you're playing for Portugal, France, China or something? Is this tactic your style playing? Jose Mourinho was furious at the moment.
Casillas was already holding the ball out of the goal for the second time, and even he, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help but shout at Varane: "Central defender, how can you be so reckless? After you go to the side, do you want me to fill the gap left in the middle lane? What are you doing in a hurry to go to the side? Is it passed by an opponent? Yes?! ”
Varane also knew that the tackle just now was a bit reckless, and it was his own misposition that led to the opponent's goal, so he immediately raised his hand and shouted to Cassie: "Captain! There will be no next time! Don't worry! I'll hold it! ”
Casillas nodded, thinking with some pessimism in his heart: "What's the use of you even if you hold on?" They were two goals behind at Barcelona and hopefully not to repeat that 5-0 victory. That 5-0 game really left too much shadow in the heart of the Real Madrid captain.
He Xu and Kaka stood in the middle circle again, and the two of them were speechless, although their relationship was very good, they didn't actually want to meet directly on the court so often. When He Xu passed the ball to Kaka, he said to him, "I hope the next time we meet in this place is at the beginning of the second half of the game." ”
Kaka smiled and passed the ball back to Alonso, and He Xu ran forward in an arc, and as he ran, he raised his arms high and motioned for his teammates to pass the ball to him.
Real Madrid kicked off again, and in the opening 12 minutes, Liang Zhao assisted Messi to push the empty goal. Barcelona leads Real Madrid 2-0, Alonso wants a long pass? Hey, he was just a feint, and after shaking Liang Zhao, he still passed the ball horizontally to Modric. ”
Just when Alonso wanted to give Liang Zhao a long pass, Mascherano posted it, because the previous attacks were fruitless, Alonso no longer believed in Mourinho's tactics. When Mascherano was marking He Xu, he gave him a high ball? Mascherano wouldn't let He Xu do the movements comfortably at all.
Pep Guardiola stood on the sidelines, his hands in the trouser pockets of his suit, and his bearing was extraordinary. It was a reflection of Mourinho, who was chewing gum with a cold face on the other side.
Modric, who stepped on the ball, looked left and right at the positions of his teammates, and finally transferred the ball to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo in a large area. Because Mascherano went to keep an eye on He Xu, C. Ronaldo's side was somewhat relaxed, and it was obviously unrealistic to expect the aging Xavi to see C. Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who received the ball, did not stop the ball, but knocked the ball directly in the direction of Barcelona's penalty area with his heel, turned around and chased after the football, no one looked at me, the opportunity was ...... (To be continued......)
