Chapter 154 Without ball control, Barcelona is no longer scary!

As for Leeds United's tactics, "Tata" and Barcelona have been studying for a long time, but they only learned about it through video, and it is not at all on paper.

In the tactics arranged by "Tata", one of Mascherano and Busquets will take turns to mark the core of Leeds United, Shaq, he is very confident in his players, the English media said that no one can guard Shaq, but "Tata" does not believe it, he feels that the defensive ability is extremely good, and the Argentine midfielder who can even be qualified as a central defender can definitely prevent Shaq, and although Busquets's defensive ability is a little worse, his awareness is more outstanding, and he can effectively predict Shaq's pass, and these two people take turns to markShaq will be difficult to make a difference in the game.

But in fact, the course of the game was a ...... for the "Tata" and Barcelona players Stunned!

As the core of Leeds United, Shaq is not just one person fighting, but everyone in the team is playing around him, so Barcelona wants to defend against Shaq, in fact, it is equivalent to defending everyone in Leeds United.

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United's left-wing attacking system "Leeds Three Musketeers" was the first to work. Hausen, Ben? Parker consistently crosses from the left near the baseline, or parallel to the Barcelona penalty line.

The ball flew into Barcelona's small penalty area again and again, creating chaos again and again............

What's going on!?

Mascherano, who is in charge of marking Shaq, doesn't quite understand, he has obviously defended Shaq closely, but he can't completely prevent Shaq from touching the ball, but just a few touches of the ball, Leeds United's attack on the left side is played, so what's the point of marking Shaq by himself?

In the tactics of Leeds United. Shaq isn't a core that has to hold the ball, Simon? Grayson uses him in a wide area, non-stop and fast movement, so as to play the role of being able to handle almost the entire stadium, although Mascherano on the Barcelona side is excellent and defensively strong, but the restrictions he can bring to Shaq are very limited, and no player can run as wide as Shaq and still close to Shaq without even touching the ball.

Leeds United's attack on the left flank was booming. But in fact, this kind of attack is not much of a threat to a team of Barcelona's level, and the real contribution to Leeds United comes from ...... A quick counterattack after a counter-grab in the front court!

In the 13th minute of the game, after Leeds United's attack was blocked in the front, Xavi crossed the ball to Iniesta on the left side outside the penalty area.

But Iniesta had just stopped the ball and looked up in front of him when a white figure rushed out diagonally from behind him on the right. A "snap" broke the ball.

Yes!?

Sark!?

Iniesta was stunned, he had worked with Xavi for many years, and he knew very well that when Xavi passed the ball to others, he would first observe the surroundings of his receiving teammates, and only send the ball out if it was safe to do so, every time he ...... All so!

Over time, Barcelona's players have developed a habit of receiving Xavi's pass. Basically, I will observe the situation on the field and then deal with the ball, but today ...... Harvey apparently failed to accurately gauge how fast Shaq was. When he passed the ball, Shaq was still in Barcelona's penalty area, but as soon as Iniesta controlled the ball, Shaq went to Iniesta's side to steal again.

No way!

Perverted!

That's too fast, right!?

Everyone on the Barcelona side had such an idea, but it was ...... faster As soon as Shaq caught up with the ball, he immediately sent it to Pivkowski in the open space on the right.

Leeds United's counter-attack horn sounded!

Pifkowski took possession of the ball and made an inward feint. But suddenly the ball was stuffed into the big penalty area on the right side of Barcelona!

Nelson, who has always been more erratic? Oliveira appeared, he ran out of the middle, touched the ball with his left foot and stopped the ball in the corner of the small box on the right side of Barcelona, and carried Pique with his body, and the Portuguese striker took advantage of the strength to rush up. After catching up with the ball before the Barcelona players, it was a straight shot!

"Bang!"

The ball was attached to the lawn, and with a "whoosh" it flew into the bottom left corner of the Barcelona goal in the distance!

Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdés reacted quickly, but his downed save still couldn't touch the edge of the ball...... 1:0, Leeds United leads!

“GAOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Inside the Elland Road stadium, all 34,300 Leeds fans roared hoarsely, and everyone's faces were full of irrepressible excitement!

This goal is not an ordinary goal, it is a goal that broke through the goal of Barcelona, the top European giant!

"14 minutes! 14 minutes! It only took us 14 minutes to take the lead! Against the strongest team in Europe, Barcelona, our 'Leeds Time' still plays a huge role! No one can stop us from moving forward! No one! ”

Nelson after the goal? Oliveira excitedly played on his knees, then hugged every team-mate near the corner flag on the right side of the front, he knew what the goal meant, and it meant that his reputation would rise rapidly, and he would even become one of the best strikers in Europe, and he was only 22 years old now.

Of course, at this time, he is also sincerely grateful to the head coach Simon? Grayson, the manager told him before the game, if possible, that he would try to score a goal in this game.

Simon? Grayson told the Portuguese striker almost in a commanding tone, because he had already made a tilt in the team's tactics, the "Leeds Three Musketeers" attracted fire on the left and then suddenly launched a lethal attack from the right, if that didn't lead to goals, then Nelson? Oliveira, the striker who spent tens of millions of pounds on the team, is really a parallel import.

Thankfully, Nelson? Oliveira is not water!

After conceding the goal, Barcelona still looked very calm, they hardly changed anything, and they still played according to their own tactical play, as if the game was still 0:0 at this time, and there was no panic at all because they were temporarily behind.

Barcelona, after all, is one of the strongest teams in Europe!

This "strong" is not only strong in strength, but also includes their tenacity in terms of psychological quality, Barcelona, who have long been accustomed to seeing big scenes, even they themselves do not remember how many times they have reversed the game in the case of falling behind, and this situation is ...... Pediatrics only.

But as the game deepened, Barcelona's side gradually lost their breath, and they found that their team could not take the initiative at all in this game.

Leeds United, an opponent who used the attack on the left flank, constantly made a fuss, and every now and then stuffed it into the middle, or suddenly moved to the right to Pivkowski or Sime? Vrsarrico came in with a quality cross, and when they were a little slack on the left, the Leeds captain's breakthrough, Ben? Parker's accurate pass can be immediately sent to Tevez and Nelson in the middle? Oliveira created a shot on goal.

And Shaq, who was the key target of the head coach "Tata" before the game, seemed to only know passing and running in this game, constantly running, running, running......

Left, center, right, front, midfield, backfield, almost every position on the pitch can be seen Shaq passing, defending, Mascherano has almost no effect on Shaq's marking!

Gerrardo? Martino always stood on the sidelines of the pitch with a frown, he kept thinking about what he could do to reverse the disadvantage in front of him, but until the end of the first half, "Tata" could not find out the reason why his team could not seize the initiative, Leeds United almost dominated the first half!

The ratio of shots on goal between the two sides is 10:2, and the dignified Barcelona only got 2 shots on goal, although it is an away game, it is too miserable!

And what's worse is ...... Ball possession!

Leeds United won a landslide 59%:41% possession rate!

You must know that although Barcelona is no longer so obsessed with possession this season, but the team's foundation is there, they will still have an advantage in possession when they encounter any opponent before, not to mention the domestic games in Spain, in the Champions League, Barcelona beat Rapid Bucharest 4:0 in the first game with 66% possession, and 55% when beating Schalke 04 3:0, but when it comes to facing Leeds United...... In the first half, it was only 41%!

Something went wrong!

And it's a big problem!

Gerrardo? Martino returned to the dressing room with a frown, realizing that his team was in a big problem, but he didn't know what the problem was.

However, at halftime, the commentator of Elland Road Stadium inadvertently told the truth in the process of chattering and commenting: "I think the reason why we will play so easily in this game should be related to Barcelona's tactical change this season, they are no longer as perverted as before, but have begun to strengthen their defense and improve efficiency, such a change will make them unstoppable when they play other teams, But when they met our Leeds United, they didn't have the money to compete with us anymore! Ha, I'm already sure that we have won this game for Leeds United! Even if Barcelona makes adjustments, it is impossible to suddenly re-become the previous 'universe team', and Barcelona without possession is really no longer an inexplicable team now!
