This is Wansheng's second visit to Camp Nou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The last time was in the 2008 UEFA Champions League, when Manchester City played Barcelona in the first leg of the semi-finals, and in the end Manchester City took away the victory 2-0, which also allowed Manchester City to easily eliminate Barcelona in the second leg to reach the final.

For a long time, Barcelona treated that game as a shame.

So when Wan Sheng coached Atletico Madrid and met Barcelona, the Catalan media began to shout for revenge.

This is the second time Wansheng has come to this stadium.

The mentality of the two arrivals is different, compared to three years ago, Wansheng is more nervous and serious, because in 2008 Rijkaard's Barcelona was already in decline, while Pep Guardiola's Barcelona was at its peak.

In three years, too much has changed.

Looking at the fans around him, Wan Sheng also sighed that time flies, fortunately, ...... He's not like other coaches who are 'seventy or eighty' to coach top teams.

He's young enough!

――――

The Atletico Madrid players who played were more or less nervous, and the newcomers among them had also experienced the environment at the Bernabeu, and now the Camp Nou is really not bad at all, and even more detrimental to the team.

In the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, the Spanish Football Federation does not consider any derby factors, so there are only a pitiful 8,000 Atletico Madrid fans who come, and the rest are all Barcelona fans.

As soon as the game began, the Atletico Madrid players could feel the pervasive hostility in the stands.

The current Barcelona fans are quite hostile to Atletico Madrid, and they constantly booed from the stands to interfere with the performance of the Atletico Madrid players.

It's no worse than the Madrid derby!

But the Atletico Madrid players still tried to be as stable as possible, and each of them remembered what the coach said in the dressing room, "Don't pay attention to the fans, they are afraid of us, so they will make noise!" ”

"The louder the noise, the more scared they are, otherwise why don't they do it when they're playing against the club? That's because the little ball will not be able to threaten them at all! ”

After thinking about it, everyone felt that what Wansheng said was very reasonable.

Barcelona fans are afraid of Atletico Madrid, the team has enough strength to win the game, so they are afraid that Barcelona will lose, so they use this 'despicable' method to interfere.

As a result, the Atletico Madrid players also stabilized their mentality and seriously integrated into the game.

――――

Barcelona relied on its home advantage to launch a stormy attack on Atletico Madrid at the beginning!

'Stormy' is not an exaggeration.

Almost everyone who watched the game had a similar feeling, Atletico Madrid let Barcelona play at all than half time, before the game Atletico Madrid coach Wan Sheng's so-called 'playing against Barcelona' and 'scoring a few more goals against Barcelona', it was not reflected at all, but Barcelona scored a few goals in Atletico Madrid to be considered normal.

For the first ten minutes, Barcelona were in complete control of the game.

The stats in the hands of Fernandos Sanchez Bob, broadcaster of Spanish national sports television, speak for themselves: "Barcelona had 74 per cent possession!" ”

74 percent!

It may not sound like much, but Atletico Madrid's possession rate was only a pitiful 26 per cent, nearly twice as much as Barcelona, and such a high gap is indicative of the situation on the pitch.

"Barcelona dominated the game!"

The Catalan media shouted excitedly, as if Barcelona had beaten Atletico Madrid by a big score.

The Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou were also cheering excitedly, they had confidence in Barcelona before the start of the game, but they were not absolutely sure that the team would win, after all, Atletico Madrid is not such an easy team to deal with, as evidenced by their big home win over Barcelona in the last leg.

But now, they are confident!

What does Atletico Madrid count? They said they wanted to score more goals, they said they wanted to play against each other, but what was the result? They didn't even have the strength to fight against each other, and they were completely suppressed by Barcelona!

This is Barcelona!

Let's see how big the gap between those people in Madrid and us is!

Everyone in Barcelona is cheering, proud of being able to completely dominate Atletico Madrid, except for ...... Head coach Pep Guardiola.

In Guardiola's view, the situation is definitely not so ideal, the key point is that so far, Barcelona have only two shots on goal, one is a long-range shot from the periphery, and the other is in the penalty area, which is also a forced and helpless shot, Villa can only barely get up in the face of the defense of the two, and as a result, he hit a plane and the football flew directly out of bounds.

Neither shot on goal posed a threat, which may be explained by 'the poor form of the frontcourt players', but how can the team's attack not find a chance to explain?

In addition, almost all of Atletico Madrid's players are 'piled up' near the penalty area, they are defending with crowd tactics, Messi can't run at all in the middle, and he is closer to the penalty area, and the team's short pass coordination has become a problem.

These are all reminders to Guardiola that the game is not that simple.

What's going on?

Guardiola was a little confused, his first reaction was that the players were not in good shape, but this idea was quickly expelled from his mind, the game was played by Barcelona's absolute main lineup, and each player took it out individually, the performance was actually good, and there were no mistakes, so the team's state is no problem, and a single player is not in good shape, it is impossible to affect the whole team, even if Messi is very good, but Barcelona has never been a team that completely relies on stars, tactical play and exquisite coordination are the key to the team.

After that, Guardiola began to observe.

One minute.

Three minutes.

Ten minutes.

Soon 20 minutes into the game, Barcelona's attack was still not progressing much, and there was nothing more than a threat from Villa's volley just before 14 minutes.

Pep Guardiola has found that Atletico Madrid has put a lot of effort into defending!

Atletico Madrid is not the 442 or 4231 that is played on weekdays, but a 4321 formation or 451 formation, except for Aguero in front, all other players are involved in the defense, and the defense of 9 players in the backfield also makes Atletico Madrid's third line as stable as a rock.

Barcelona are adept at attacking from the flanks, with Andres Iniesta and Xavi both among the best players in the world, with their ability to break through possession, and it is the wings that expand their attacking options and make it difficult for opponents to limit their defence. However, the opponent's two "full-backs" Raul Garcia and Mario Suarez can play with the full-backs in a running position, which greatly strengthens the defense on the wings.

It stands to reason that if the defense on the wing is tight, then the middle will be weaker.

Barcelona can have Messi in the middle!

Messi's breakthrough is a big offensive means for the team!

But this is not the case in the competition.

Atletico Madrid has Morris in the middle, two forwards Ozil and Reyes are also constantly retreating, plus two central defenders, Atletico Madrid almost 'blocked' the front end of the penalty area, Messi wants to break through without even space, and it is quite dangerous to cooperate with teammates.

Atletico Madrid relied on an orderly and dense defense, blocking the left, right and center three lanes.

This is also the reason why Barcelona's attack is not good.

But......

Didn't the young Chinese say that he was going to have a confrontation with Barcelona? What kind of offense is there to defend like this!

Pep Guardiola gets it.

Not only him, but the whole of Barcelona, including the Catalan media and fans, were all played by that Chinese!

Atletico Madrid where is the attack to play!

They just want to defend the goal!

If you want to talk about tactical play, 'defensive counterattack' is more suitable, but judging from the first 20 minutes of the game, 'counterattack' can be removed, and Atletico Madrid will play a small wave of counterattack when the defense is absolutely safe.

Whether they score or not, they don't seem to care!

――――

Pep Guardiola saw that Atletico Madrid did not intend to play against Barcelona at all, and some professional football commentators also saw it, and the commentators who supported Barcelona began to criticize and satirize Atletico Madrid's conservatism.

But there were some media outlets that didn't see it, and of course, the vast majority of Barcelona fans, who were happy to see Atletico Madrid 'suppressed' in the half, unable to fight back at all.

They're all starting to expect a Barcelona goal!

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid fans are a little worried, and there are 8,000 Madrid fans who came to the Camp Nou to support the team, and they watch the game without saying a word, and they will also discuss with each other about the team's crisis.

Many fans were puzzled.

Atletico Madrid's results this season have made all fans very satisfied, and they all feel that the team will not be much worse than Barcelona, so at the Camp Nou, they will play a head-to-head confrontation with Barcelona...... You can't be so passive, right?

After 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid only had a handful of attacks, and they didn't even threaten a single one!

They have been worried about the team, but as time passed, some fans also discovered that Atletico Madrid did not play against Barcelona, and the team's tactics seemed to be to defend seriously.

Defensive counterattack?

A lot of fans thought of this word, and they couldn't believe it.

They have always felt in their hearts that Atletico Madrid is the top attacking team in Spain, and instead of using attack to win, they focus on defense, so can they have a chance to win against Barcelona?

Commentator Fernandos Sanchez-Bob was also surprised: "It seems that Atletico Madrid has no intention of playing against Barcelona, they have been defending all the time, and we can see that Aguero has frequently retreated!" ”

"Perhaps, this also shows the strength of Barcelona, but Atletico Madrid must have changed their tactics, otherwise the game would not have been ......like this anyway" (To be continued. )
