Chapter Ninety-Four: Tell
Since it's a complaint, this is naturally a sentence that can't be taken seriously.
How could Malaga not defend? Even Barcelona can't afford not to defend, but because they attack much more than they defend, it gives many people the illusion that Barcelona doesn't defend. Moreover, possession is not actually synonymous with attack, and many times Barcelona possession is actually for defending, but people are often reluctant to associate it with possession compared to defense, which is not aesthetic in most cases.
Spit ghosts and complain, the solution is always to think.
For Barcelona, there are only three ways to deal with the current situation.
The first response was the same as Guardiola's pre-match response to Linson's smoke bomb. This is also the most reasonable way to deal with Barcelona in theory, the reason is very simple, Barcelona is no worse than Malaga regardless of the cards, tacit understanding, skills and tactics, the reason why they are lagging behind, to put it mildly, is to accidentally take a cold gun, but this is a war, obviously can not be messed up because of a cold gun. And this must get up, layer by layer, step by step, patient positional warfare is what they are best at. The second is set-pieces, with Barcelona's midfield stacked with some of the best players on the planet, and they are well positioned to create some more direct ways of scoring goals. As for the last one, it is to look for a breakthrough point. The reason is very simple, Málaga's defense is certainly a slate, but even if it is a slate, there is a reason in this world, as long as you identify a point, and then let Barcelona do its best to attack this point, Málaga's defense, sooner or later, there will be a moment of collapse.
These three ways of coping have been filtered over and over again in Guardiola's mind, in fact, the three ways are more beneficial than disadvantageous for Barcelona, because although the score is behind, they are the ones who hold the offensive initiative on the field. No matter how they cope, it's the same for Malaga. And the reason why Guardiola hesitates is not entirely about weighing the pros and cons, but considering a key point, that is, time.
This kind of thing is not uncommon on the football field, the lucky one can score one before the end, get a small win, and the less lucky one is killed before the end of the game, and make a regret loss, although the reason for this is that most of the reason is that the winning side can't grasp the opportunity, but in fact, in the final analysis, it is time, because no defense can withstand a never-ending attack, the problem is that no attack can be endless, because there is a time limit in the football game.
Just like Málaga now, they just need to withstand Barcelona's attack in the next 45 minutes to lift the Copa del Rey after the game.
Pep Guardiola's consideration, the game is close to the end of the first half.
Seeing that the referee had already started to look at his watch, Guardiola did not continue to look at it, but turned around and went straight back to the dressing room. Linsen, who had been on the sidelines for the entire first half, noticed Guardiola's departure, but there was not much smug on his face, because the game was only halfway through, and because he didn't see the anxious color he wanted to see most from Guardiola. However, he still has to give his team's first-half table a hundred points.
One to zero.
One completed the most important attacking task of the first half for Málaga and set the tone for the game. Zero represent that Málaga are halfway there, and they managed to keep a clean sheet in half of the opponent's game under the attack of Barcelona.
At least, judging by the first half of the game, Linson won one game against Pep Guardiola.
After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Xavi stopped jogging and then slowly walked to the players' tunnel, where his old teammate Puyol walked over from the back and quietly asked if it didn't matter. Harvey replied that it was fine. Xavi suffered a minor injury in last week's trip to Chelsea, although it was fine after a check-up, Pep Guardiola did not let him play in last weekend's league game, and it was widely believed that he was saving for this game, but it was not because of Xavi's injury.
Xavi is indeed fine, although Gabi, who is responsible for marking him in this game, takes care of him almost meticulously, but the action is very clean, in fact, even Xavi has to admit that although Malaga plays defense, but the way is mostly oppressive, and he does not blindly use fierce tackles to declare his defensive determination, compared to Xavi, Messi and Iniesta, who are good at individual breakthroughs, have much more physical contact with each other, Malaga is on Messi's body, and he ate two yellow cards in the first half, of courseWorth.
That guy is hard to mess with? Puyol asked again, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Gabi, who was walking in front of them.
It's a lot tougher than before. Harvey smiled.
Can't get it down? Puyol smiled suddenly.
I can't make it anymore. Harvey shook his head.
It's not that he doesn't want to repeat the old trick, but the nod in the player's tunnel seems to really smile and grudge, in the first half of the game, although Gabi made Xavi feel difficult, but Xavi did not make Gabi suffer, but this time, instead of getting angry, Gabi pulled him several times when he fell.
--------------
At half-time, the stands belonged to the Malaga fans.
These goofy hillbillies!
Looking at the Malaga fans singing and dancing in the stands opposite, a young Barcelona fan scolded fiercely, the game is not over yet, it's just a shit luck to lead by one goal, what's there to be proud of? Wait for the second half of the game, and you'll just watch.
The words of the young Barcelona fans actually represent the thoughts of a large part of the Barcelona fans at the moment, and even the other fans watching the game, to lead Barcelona by one goal at half-time? Great, but that doesn't mean you win the race, the tortoise may be one step ahead by sleeping with the rabbit, but no one thinks that the tortoise can run faster than the hare.
In fact, Malaga fans also know this in their hearts.
But who cares so much?!
Malaga are ahead of Barcelona and that's the score now.
---------------
"Well done, gentlemen."
As soon as he walked into the locker room, Lin Sen first affirmed the first half of his team's game with applause, and then used a "but" to make a twist for his speech, anyway, no matter how many beautiful things to say, his players also knew that he couldn't tell them to open champagne to celebrate the lead before the game was over.
"I know you might think I'm just going to be clichéd, but gentlemen, cliché is because a lot of teams make old mistakes. As your manager, I have to remind you once again that your opponent is Barcelona and I believe that those four words are enough to give you enough motivation. Don't forget what you did in the first half and what we were going to do in the second half. ”
'Again, I don't care what the outside world thinks of this game, I don't care what Barcelona thinks, but in my opinion, there is one thing that we definitely have an advantage over Barcelona and that is fitness. Barcelona have played almost twice as many games as us in the past month, their physical exertion is much greater than ours, and there is no reason why we should lose to Barcelona in this regard! What's more, we are younger! So, in the second half, in addition to the things in the first half, I have to see two things, one is speed! One is aggressiveness! ”
"If there is a player who feels that he cannot continue to run on the pitch for forty-five minutes, then he can sue me now, because in the second half, there is only one person on the pitch who does not have to run, and that is our 'old man', Inaki."
Goalkeeper Inaki Godia is certainly not an old man, he is only twenty-six years old, but because of his old appearance and his age is actually the biggest player in the starting lineup, he has always been called an old man by the other players, and he himself recognized it with a smile, but at this time, seeing that Lin Sen actually called him an old man, Godia could only smile bitterly.
Just when Linsen was "demagoguery" in the locker room, in another locker room on the other side of the field, Guardiola was also arranging the tactics of the second half, but compared with Linsen, Guardiola was calm as if the backward team was not his team, he was like every game this season, there were no inspirational speeches, no saliva accusations, but a calm expression to arrange tactics.
'Andres, you need to be closer to Xavi in the second half and we have to make sure that the midfield has a pass success rate.
Iniesta nodded, and in the first half, he did have less contact with Xavi due to his focus on individual breakthroughs.
'thierry, in the second half we will be on the right side of Leo, so in the second half there will be less pressure on your side, but we need you to be in the right position at the right time, do you know what I mean?'
Henry also bowed slightly, and Guardiola's command actually took into account his fitness.
"Gerrard, you can be more decisive in the second half, don't worry, Sergio and Karls will fill in for you."
Pique nodded heavily, in fact, he was already doing it in the first half.
……
Instructions came out of Guardiola's mouth one after another, and it was not until all the tactical details were arranged and the players had no doubts that Guardiola raised his head and looked around at his teammates, and finally said something that had nothing to do with tactics.
"Gentlemen, I think they have sued us in the first half, their name is Malaga, and now, I need you to do one thing in the second half: sue them, we are called Barcelona!"
