Smoke bombs aren't all smoke.

conceded the goal in just fifteen seconds of the opening game, and even Guardiola couldn't help but frown and muttered in his heart, no matter how calm he was.

Practicing defense, practicing set-pieces and even practicing penalties, all of them, Lin Sen put on a posture of being ready to defend with all his might, so that the entire Barcelona coaching staff, including Guardiola, did not believe that Lin Sen would be so honest, but they couldn't think of any other moves that Lin Sen could have besides defense, could it be that he could still attack with Barcelona? Does he dare?

Therefore, Guardiola used smoke bombs to describe Linson's previous actions.

But now, in just fifteen seconds, Linson told Barcelona that he was not just letting go of a smoke bomb, but a dud bomb that could explode at any moment.

Guardiola subconsciously supported his left hand with his right hand, and then touched his chin with his left hand, his deep eyes were still looking at the field, but Vilanova, who was standing next to him at this time, knew that Pep had encountered the first problem of the game, so quickly.

If it were a different team, Vilanova had no doubt that Guardiola might not even blink an eye, because Barcelona would definitely and rightfully do it to get the score back and then win the game, but the opposite team was an exception, the coach not far away was called Linsen, this guy is currently the best defensive manager in La Liga, but definitely the most resolute manager, there is no one.

What's even more troubling is that Barcelona's coaching staff does not have a plan for dealing with the current situation.

Of course, Barcelona naturally has a plan for the situation of conceding the goal first. It's just that the goal was conceded in fifteen seconds? If this is also dealt with according to the plan of conceding the ball first, it is obvious that neither the coaching staff off the field nor the players on the field can accept it psychologically. It doesn't matter if the coach can't accept it off the field, if the players on the field can't accept it, then there may be something that the manager can't control.

Obviously, that's not what Guardiola wants to see.

"Audience friends, if you have just turned on the TV now, then please believe your eyes, there is no mistake in the scoreboard, the current kick-off in the center circle does not mean that the game has just begun, but because Malaga scored a goal in just fifteen seconds after the opening......" The game restarted, He Tian had to explain the scoreboard, because if it didn't, almost no one would dare to believe that the game had just begun, and the mighty Barcelona had fallen behind 0-1.

Without waiting for He Tian to finish speaking, the screen once again played back the slow motion of the goal just now.

"It's so beautiful! It was definitely a goal that was enough to be selected as one of the top 10 goals of the year! Even if he has watched it three or four times, He Tian still can't help but praise again, "No matter in terms of strength or angle, this goal is impeccable, and what is even more rare is that Reus actually made a shot without any adjustment, if you can exclude the element of luck, it is difficult to imagine how difficult this goal is." ”

"It's true that a shot like this, even in normal training, if one or two out of ten times can be successful, it's lucky. I have to say that Royce's shot is too good at eating the ball. ”

Speaking of Royce, this is his eighth goal of the season and his second in the Copa del Rey, and it is worth mentioning that almost all of Royce's goals are beautiful. If you have watched the match between Malaga and Atletico Madrid in the first round of La Liga this season, you will probably have the impression that Reus scored a similar goal at that time, and in a very similar way. I don't know if it's a coincidence. ”

……

This is certainly not a coincidence.

It is undeniable that there is an element of luck in Reus's shot, but there is no coincidence in the whole tactical routine.

Against Atletico Madrid's goal, Lin Sen once claimed at a press conference that it was not a tactic at all, but in fact, it was a tactic, but it was just a tactic that was not very reliable, and the reason why it was successful that time was that luck accounted for a very high proportion. But this time, for this lightning sneak attack that was only fifteen seconds old, Malaga practiced on the training ground for fifteen days?

For this sneak attack, Lin Sen even used the guò media to put smoke bombs on Guardiola for several days.

However, even so, this well-planned sneak attack is still full of unknowns. The first thing is to pick the edge that is usually just going through the motions.

The winning side picks the side, and the losing side kicks off first.

Because many times in fact, before the captains on both sides pick the side, the players on both sides have actually stood in a good position, generally speaking, at this time to win the side will choose the established half, this is the convention, but also because it is a convention, for the side, except for the occasional side change due to factors such as sunshine, the two sides of the game will not care too much, so they ignore the chance of the side.

But ignoring it does not mean that there is no zài.

If Gamiz can't lose the right to pick a side, then there will be no way to talk about the next sneak attack. That's why Lin Sen was nervous when he picked a side.

Luckily, a qiē is very smooth, including sneak attacks.

After a brief moment of excitement, Lin Sen was the first to come to his senses, waving his players on the sidelines to get his players back to their positions, and at the same time calling the captain Gamiz, who was closest to him, to hurry up and remind his teammates not to get too carried away.

Goals, for Malaga, are not the beginning of the attack, but the beginning of the defense.

Because Barcelona can't give Malaga a second chance like this.

As the game continued, Lin Sen also began to observe the changes in the mood of the Barcelona players on the field.

The current Barcelona team, although it won the treble in the first season in memory, is still some distance away from the dynasty after all, and the goal just conceded really had an impact on Barcelona's players. The most obvious is that three of the five Barcelona players who were originally blue have turned from green to green, and only Henry and Puyol are still calm. For others, the excitement has obviously increased.

This time in Malaga, not only excited the people who were calm before, but also excited the people who were not so excited before.

This result has pros and cons for Lin Sen, but it is still much better in the end. Because he knows that for the leading Malaga, the calm Barcelona will be more difficult to deal with than the excited Barcelona, you know, the game has just begun. Of course, more importantly, the goal just now made Malaga's confidence on their side skyrocket.

It's no surprise that words on paper are words on paper, and what could be more morale-boosting than an expected goal?

Málaga, who won the first blow, immediately played the game according to the original game plan and built a high wall, ready to meet the attacking frenzy of Barcelona not to be left behind.

On the left side, after Reuss showed his great threat, Alves finally had to re-examine the young German in front of him, as long as Reus appeared in his defensive area, the Brazilian would basically follow him, invisibly, the right attack, which is the most important link in Barcelona's attacking system, has been weakened a little, of course, even so, the right side is still the heaviest defensive area of Malaga.

Because, Barcelona's "nuclear weapon" Messi is on this way.

Lin Sen prepared three cages for Messi.

One is called close pressing, as long as Messi has the ball, the Malaga player closest to Messi must step forward to force closely.

One is called regional joint defense, as long as Messi gets the ball, while pressing closely, the other players must choose a nearby opponent's player to defend and block Messi's possible passing route.

The last cage is called a foul. But when the first two cages couldn't hold Messi, even if they knew that this was killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000, they could only use this way.

In all fairness, Lin Sen didn't want to use the last cage, but that was just not wanting, and he still felt it was better to press the pause button on the game once in a while than to watch Messi put on five and six games, and to clean up his team's entire defense and then score a goal. Of course, fouling doesn't mean hurting someone.

After all, although Lin Sen is used to doing his own thing, he doesn't want to be the finger of a thousand people.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Two over one, blocked, backhaul.

Breakthroughs, blockages, backhauls.

Long, blocked, or backhaul.

……

Guardiola's brows furrowed more and more, until finally, he didn't even subconsciously bite his lower lip.

After more than half an hour, the game finally turned into the kind of game that almost everyone expected: Barcelona attacked, Malaga defended. Barcelona possess the ball, Malaga destroys. Barcelona is desperate**, Malaga is not in a mess...... Anyway, what Barcelona does, Malaga does the opposite, and then, plus or minus, the game goes to zero.

If it weren't for that damn goal conceded at the beginning of the game, Guardiola would have been perfectly acceptable for the current game. Offense is the best defense, and possession is higher than offense, because possession is not only the best defense, but also the best offense. Guardiola has always been convinced of this. But now, Pep Guardiola finds himself faintly hoping that the players on the pitch can do something beyond tactics like the opponent's Reuss.

Especially Messi.

When Guardiola realized his idea, even he was startled, and then laughed at himself in his heart, when would he be so breathless?

It's just that when he looked at the court, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Do you dare not defend?
