Section 527 Strategic Impact
Until the end of the game, sitting on the train on the way back, recalling the goal conceded by Tottenham in the last stage of the game, Li Bin felt that it was a little too depressing, in terms of tactics, although he could not be said to be a complete victory, but he was also evenly matched with Barcelona, but at the last moment, it was Ibrahimovic again, who gave himself a lore, making his full efforts empty talk.
3-2, although it was a victory, but a victory with only one goal, not the victory that Li Bin wanted. The opponent was the most embarrassed, and he still didn't be able to win the whole game, which is too undeserved. From the second half, Tottenham had regained the advantage of the game, and even, in the tug-of-war, Tottenham scored first. With a better defence and a very good attack, Tottenham should have won a big win and came back from a big victory, but they were unable to do so. A goal in the last time of Ibrahimovic made Li Bin have an urge to scold the street like crazy.
It's not your game! We're playing on our own tactics, what are you here for!
However, I'm afraid that Li Bin should be the only one who feels dissatisfied. At least, after the game, the media of the whole world were full of praise for this game. In fact, even on the way back, Li Bin saw a lot of discussions about that game, and most people would say at least one word when mentioning that Tottenham victory.
This game is definitely a classic event.
In the 04/05 season, Chelsea and Barcelona met and the two teams played two legs, which was considered by everyone to be the most classic game. And this season, Tottenham and Barcelona met, and the games they played were also evaluated in the same way.
Tottenham's different reactions in the first and second halves, the strong strength of the resolute and decisive raids on Barcelona's position in the game, coupled with their tactical characteristics of multi-point continuous raids, have made many teams discuss. Barcelona played at home, losing 2-3, and they were still at a disadvantage, which was the first time they encountered such an embarrassing situation after the match against Liverpool.
'Tottenham are a respectable opponent and I regret our defeat. There's still one game to go, and we still have a chance. β
After the game, even Pep Guardiola rarely said anything bad about Tottenham. If in the past, Barcelona and the Premier League team played a game, as long as the Premier League team won and Barcelona lost, then a 'rough, barbaric, anti-football' hat would not hesitate to buckle the opponent's head, but in this game, the Spanish media was speechless. It was a total defeat of the game and the game, and they had to admit the difference.
It is okay to say that others are anti-football, but Tottenham's football is the most beautiful offensive, and it can't be anti-football, right?
Because of the recent strength, Barcelona has been called the Dream Three team, but Tottenham's victory in this game has also allowed everyone to witness the strength of Tottenham, if Barcelona is the Dream Three team, then what team is Tottenham?
What's even more surprising is that Tottenham Hotspur has scored three goals away from home since the knockout round, does it mean that they really want to rely on such a raid all the way to the final and win the last championship?
Li Bin's level is indeed very high, but no matter how high his level is, it has not reached such a level of rebellion, right?
Although Pep Guardiola claims that there are still chances on the road, they don't have many chances. Just look at Barcelona's poor away record and see that they can hardly beat Tottenham.
"We're certainly one of the strongest teams in the world. On the pitch, the second half was already pretty good. We attacked about the same number of attacks as the opposition, we were a little worse in possession, but we had the advantage in the number of breaks. We didn't play well in the first half, we played better in the second half and as long as we maintain our level in the next game, we still have a good chance of winning. β
After the game, Esposito has been looking at the data and analyzing the game, but this kind of analysis is what Li Bin doesn't want, "Having said so much, I didn't have a chance to directly beat the opponent completely in this game." We had the advantage of anticipation of the opposition, and my on-the-spot command was better than Pep Guardiola's novice on the bench, and we didn't win in that situation, which is enough to be dissatisfying. β
"You're actually unhappy that your idea of pressing football didn't lead to a big win." "However, we also have some deficiencies in the game, and if we adjust, maybe we will play better." In this game, Di Maria's breakthrough did not pose much of a threat, and Bale's contribution was limited because he was not superior to Alves in terms of speed, and we can become stronger by adjusting. On the Barcelona side, their philosophy of controlling football is to give the opportunity to Messi, who has the best ability, and it turns out that we can stop Messi. They don't have much room to improve, and if we can improve, we have a better chance. β
"Just maybe. And don't ignore it, because Henry and Pedro are both average in impact, and Iniesta's form is not good in this game - don't just look at our merits, we are also sure that the defensive energy invested in Messi's defense at the back is too much, and in the next game, Guardiola will definitely have to adjust to let Iniesta play a bigger role. We also have to tweak the back a little bit to get the players to play better. Li Bin swallowed half of the sentence back into his stomach: what he was most worried about was not actually these, but the 3-2 match, and in the second round, there were too many variables.
Tottenham's players, now fighting on two fronts, are already very tired after holding on to the top, if they get 3-1 away, then Li Bin at home will dare to wait for the qualification. But now, the away game is 3-2, so Li Bin doesn't dare to pack the ticket. Especially in memory, Barcelona has always been able to get some care from the whistle in the second leg of the game, which also makes Li Bin worry about whether his team will encounter any problems.
If your team is hacked, it's a fire. And even if they are not hacked, if they pay too much price in the second leg of the competition with Barcelona, then Tottenham's situation will be awkward. Because of the train back and forth, Tottenham, which has a lot of physical loss, is almost useless to play this round of the league, and Li Bin also wants to give up. The difference of three points means that each of the next four rounds has to be won, and if you fight for Barcelona again, the loss of players is very large, then you have to rotate, which may affect the league - a goal by Ibrahimovic causes a strategic problem.
This made Li Bin can't help but complain: If only there was no injury to Neuer in the first half of the league. If the points saved in the first half were high enough to be 10 points ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United, he could have given up the league and played the Champions League with all his might, but now ......
"Let's not talk about the uselessness, let's talk about the rest of the game." Li Bin thought about it, threw those out of his mind, and still spoke, "After returning to England, let's give up for the time being - it will take two more days to go back, and our players will not be able to have strength." Everton are not underdogs, and if we fight to the death with them, we will definitely not win against Barcelona. We're six points ahead anyway, so let's give up this one. β
"That's all there is to it," Esposito nodded, "and if we give up this league game, it would be too much of a help to us if we can reach the final in the Champions League." β
'In the next game, we can change the line-up: I have an idea: put Di Maria on the left and Bale on the right, maybe it will work a little bit better.
In the first game, Tottenham's tactics and Barcelona can already be said to be on par. The coaches of both sides have made some good arrangements, such as Tottenham's quick counterattack and the second half's layer by layer, all of which were very good, and Barcelona's measures not to let Alves insert were also correct, and although it seemed like a faint move to let Ibrahimovic come on the field, he finally scored one. And the coaches on both sides also have some inappropriate arrangements, Li Bin's side did not make up his mind to use the three back midfielders early, and the arrangement of the two wings was inappropriate, which was a problem. And Barcelona's side chose to let Iniesta retreat after Xavi was pressed by Yaya Toure, and it was also a mistake to not form a threat to the backline. In the first leg of the two sides, although they played very well, they were still a little misguided, and no matter how you look at it, you have to make some adjustments.
"Yes, it would probably be much better if Bale went to match Abidalbi with speed, and Di Maria went to compare with Alves." Esposito also nodded, "Besides, if CoentrΓ£o collects more, it can form a more effective pinch attack on Messi, so that the pressure on the backfield is greatly reduced, maybe there will be no such problem as Ibrahimovic." β
"Also, although Toure entangled Xavi in this game and forced Iniesta to take it back, I imagine that they should change in one game, and Gustavo can support him a little more......"
The two of you analyzed the situation of the game word by word, and gradually sorted out the game. The deficiencies that Guardiola did were gradually dug up little by little by the analysis of the two people, and the targeted measures were also carried out in the discussion between the two people.
"I don't really care about anything else." Looking at the situation of the game, Li Bin said softly, "The most important thing is that I am afraid that the referee will come out and disrupt the game." We are very close, we have only one goal difference, and if the referee comes up, it will be difficult for us. β
"There is no other way for you to do it than to believe. We can ask the club to advise UEFA to send the best referee, but you have to know that no matter how good a referee is, it is possible to make mistakes. β
"I'm afraid they didn't make mistakes, but deliberately." Li Bin also did not shy away from saying, "Then it will be troublesome." β
Esposito didn't say anything, just looked at Li Bin, he didn't know what Li Bin meant.
"But it doesn't matter." After thinking about it, Li Bin laughed again, "The next game is our home field." β
"It's just that our home stadium is not too dark."
"I'm not talking about that. I mean: since it's our home field, there's a lot of stuff in our tactics that we can use all of them. If they play well, we will fight them to the death in positional warfare. I hope so, because this opponent did not come easily. However, if you really play evil...... Then we have to think of a way! β
