Possession is risky, passing the ball needs to be cautious.

This is a phrase that is clear to all coaches.

Compared with the uselessness of possession, the biggest advantage of possession supremacy is that it can control the game to the greatest extent. However, there is a price to be paid for controlling the game, and this price is like the famous bomb pass game. When the bomb is in your hand, as long as it is not yet the time to explode, you are the safest person, and the time to hold the bomb, this is the risk you need to take. Because if you're not careful, a bomb can explode in your hand.

The most successful aspect of the current Barcelona team is that they can always put the bomb into the opponent's goal at the right time. But the problem now is that no matter how much you hook up, Malaga just won't take it, and instead of taking it, they've put up layers of barriers to prevent you from passing the bomb through, which is a bit of a pitfall. It is precisely because of this that Guardiola came up with the idea of dropping the bomb in the hands of the other party in the first place.

Because Malaga is not Barcelona, if they come with a bomb, there is a good chance that they will blow themselves up. It's just that as soon as this idea emerged, it was immediately vetoed by Guardiola and even deeply ashamed.

It's not that it doesn't work, it's that it doesn't work.

Because Pep Guardiola knows that if Barcelona give up possession, then, perhaps, they can really win this game, but they will lose more. First of all, it is impossible for tens of thousands of fans outside to agree, which is tantamount to making them betray their beliefs. On the other hand, the pride in Guardiola's heart cannot be suppressed: when will Barcelona also need to abandon their traditions for a team like Malaga?! Need to give up your football philosophy for a league game?

Even if it's only temporary, it's unforgivable.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Don't look at Lin Sen made a lot of explanations in the locker room, it seems that he has a lot of ideas about this game, however, Lin Sen's attitude towards this game has never changed, the reason why Malaga can start so smoothly is that "strangeness" is a big reason, not only from the perspective of the whole season, but also from the perspective of a single game.

And the unfamiliar will slowly become familiar.

Barcelona in the second half was obviously much more familiar with Malaga's style of play.

In the first half, they were like a veteran in the love field, skillfully using various pursuit routines to the girl opposite, thinking that the other party would take the bait lightly, but they didn't expect that the other party was not moved at all. Then, although they may not be able to know what the other person likes, at least they already know what the other person doesn't like.

Pep Guardiola's new approach is to increase in-cut and long-range shots.

Barcelona has the most powerful attacker in the world, Messi, who was completely liberated after Xiao Luo left, actually had a good appearance in the first half, his passing is still unsolvable, but Malaga has piled up too many people in the penalty area, often waiting until Messi is finished, he finds that he has no angle to shoot, and can only shoot or pass the ball in a hurry, and in the second half, Guardiola asked Messi to change his role, from a finisher, to a spoiler. As for long-range shooting, it is actually a very unreliable offensive method, because as in basketball, the closer you get to the goal, the greater the chance of scoring, but now in order to break the opponent's dense defense, Guardiola has to use some special means.

While Barcelona is actively seeking change, Malaga is also seeking change.

The two most obvious points, Lewandowski and Koke, stared at the back of the opposition like a nail at the beginning of the second half, always watching for the opportunity to score. And Koke, who was one of the few who could become the background of Barcelona's passing in the first half, was obviously much tougher in the second half.

In the 66th minute, Xavi organized an attack in the midfield, and when he saw Koke coming forward, he passed the ball to Iniesta without thinking, and Iniesta passed the ball back to Yaya Toure behind him for the first time, which was an ordinary triangle pass, and the next step should be Yaya Toure with better vision to re-hand the ball to Xavi's feet, but this time, Yaya Toure just sent the ball over, but found that Koke rushed to Xavi almost at the same time as the ball.

Xavi, who couldn't dodge, didn't have time to pass the ball again, and was stopped by Cork with the ball.

Harvey got up and pushed Koke, originally, with Harvey's qualifications, he wouldn't have to worry about a young man like Cork in normal times, and he was blamed for the fact that he had already held back his anger in this game. Although Coke is young and vigorous, he still has no anger in the face of his usual favorite star, and at this time, Gabi nearby ran over and directly protected Coke behind him, looking at Harvey coldly.

So, Lin Sen on the sidelines was a little surprised to see that Gabi, who had always been calm, actually burned with anger on the top of his head, but soon, he understood the reason.

Koke and Gabi are both from Atletico Madrid.

In fact, compared to Gamez, who wears the captain's armband, Gabi is more like the captain on the field many times, not only because of his style of play and character, but more importantly, once there is a dispute on the field, he can always come forward as soon as possible, but Gamez often plays the role of a peacemaker, in this regard, Lin Sen also likes to see it, one red face and one black face, anyway, he is not worried that his players will suffer.

Seeing that the two sides had a little smell of gunpowder, the referee hurriedly ran over, and then gave an equal penalty, each playing 50 boards, and one person with a yellow card.

There was another round of boos at Camp Nou, and it was clear that Barcelona fans thought that Koke had fouled first, and Xavi's action was excusable, and it was not enough to be yellow carded.

For such a vignette, a football match is not uncommon, but no one expected that this episode would become the fuse that decided the game, because, a few minutes later, Gabi received Malaga's first red card of the season.

It seems to be inspired by Gabi's stand for Coke, and the Barcelona players began to frequently attack Gabi's defensive area in the following time, not only Messi often regarded Gabi as a breakthrough, and soon brushed a yellow card from him, Xavi and Iniesta also regarded him as a breakthrough, when he saw Gabi, who is usually calm, shoveling Xavi's back, Linson knew in his heart that it was going to be bad.

Sure enough, the red card appeared.

Lin Sen, who was on the sidelines, took a deep breath, walked to the sidelines, and patted Gabi, who suddenly changed color on the top of his head when the referee made a card move.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Coach."

Lin Sen heard Gabi's slightly muffled voice, he smiled, but did not speak.

He doesn't blame Gabi, but Gabi should indeed apologize, his downfall, the impact on Malaga is not just as simple as one less person, more importantly, it will make Lin Sen's hard-working defensive system instantly lose an important link, and the game, there are still fifteen minutes. Giving a team like Barcelona an advantage of fifteen minutes more would have almost vained all of Malaga's previous efforts.

In the 79th minute, Málaga, who was without Gabi in midfield, finally had a leak in the defense, Yaya Toure received Messi's inverted triangle pass at the edge of the penalty area, and calmly got up and shot the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

The deadlock is broken!

In the 85th minute, Messi found Henry with a through ball after a series of daunting passes at the edge of the penalty area, and Henry's push made Gordia unable to reach it.

Barcelona sealed the win.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Camp Nou's applause made Linsen feel a little regretful.

In this game, he thought about what difficulties he would encounter, the invisible pressure of the Camp Nou stands, the suppression of the strength of the Barcelona players, and even the possible partiality of the referee were all within his consideration, and he asked himself how well he coped, but after all, he still lost the game. The turning point of the game was undoubtedly Gabi's end, but at the end of the day, if it weren't for Coke, Gabi might not have been provoked by the other side.

It's just Lin Sen, how could he have thought that Gabi, who has always been calm, would suddenly lose control? Lin Sen wanted to blame the referee, but even he knew that it was just an excuse.

Seeing that Guardiola, who had not yet shone on his body, walked towards him, Lin Sen took a few deep breaths, and then changed to a calmer expression and greeted him......

'It was a good game and Malaga is a good team.

Hearing Guardiola's words, Lin Sen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, what is the difference between this and saying that you are a good person after being dumped?

"Thank you." Lin Sen's answer was very polite, and his tone was not salty or light, "Barcelona is not bad either." ”

After that, the two did not talk again, and went to congratulate or comfort their teammates.

The frustration of the Málaga players was written above their heads in the eyes of Linsen, who could understand their disappointment, and in this game, before Gabi was gone, Málaga almost saw hope of getting out of the Camp Nou, but in the end it fell short. The failure of many things, the real frustration is not after despair, but after seeing hope.

Moments later, just when most Barcelona fans were already thinking about how to get home, Linson suddenly made a move to his players that surprised everyone and made the whole Camp Nou angry.

He stretched out his right hand, palm flat to support his chin......

Keep your head up!

This simple action almost focused the attention of the whole world.

"God, does he know what he's doing? Did he know it was Camp Nou? ”

"Damn beam-jumping clowns! How dare he make that person's signature move here?! ”

"Die! Do you think you won the game? ”

……

All kinds of invective suddenly spread in the stands, and inside the stadium, Guardiola, who turned his head, looked at Linsen with some surprise, unlike the gloating Barcelona players, his gaze looked a little complicated.
