Chapter 646 Cunning Guardiola

Before you officially turn your gaze back to the game, go back a few minutes.

In other words, when Li Yi and Friedman were still discussing whether Li Yi was injured and how to protect themselves next, in fact, Barcelona's locker room was also very lively.

To tell the truth, I really don't look down on Li Yi, but before the start of this game, whether it was a Barcelona player or Guardiola, they didn't take Crystal Palace too seriously.

After all, the league is a league, the Champions League is the Champions League, and in the league, there may be teams such as Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester City, and Crystal Palace, which can win the most difficult championship as a weak team, but in recent years, in addition to the upset traffic jam, Porto led by Magic Bird has won the championship once.

Here, the competition is about the heritage, and this heritage is exactly what Crystal Palace lacks, so, reasonably, Barcelona definitely believe that they deserve to win the game.

But now? The score of 0-1 is actually not the most critical issue, as long as the offensive firepower can be fully opened, not to mention 1 goal, 3 goals, 4 goals, Barcelona is not impossible to recover.

Now, the biggest problem that is urgently facing Barcelona is that Li Yi is not only in the attack, but also the existence that makes the defenders of the whole world fearful, and when Nima is defending, the deterrent power is not inferior to his offense.

5 times, 6 times, or 7 times? Guardiola can't remember how many attacks his side had in the first half, which were ended by Li Yi.

Moreover, rather than being terminated, the more critical problem is that Li Yi is really different from other defenders.

Vincent Kompany, Cow or Not? In recent years, he has been hailed as the world's second-best centre-back, behind Thiago Silva. But even Kompany, his defensive area and defensive range are also traceable, and Barcelona can also avoid going head-to-head with him.

But what about Li Yi? Maybe the players on the field of Barcelona are not very clear, sitting off the field, since Li Yi first "coincidentally" destroyed his own attack, Guardiola was very serious and watched Li Yi's defensive trajectory.

Then he came to a conclusion that he was very reluctant to believe.

Li Yi's defense has almost no dead ends, because he won't pay attention to your attacking players at all, all his runs are according to Barcelona's most rearly pass, as long as you dare to pass, Li Yi can destroy.

"Is it true that only long-range shots can tear through the breach?" With such doubts, on the surface, Guardiola did not show any anxiety.

Clearing his throat, Guardiola said to his disciples, "Ahem, everyone cheer up, through my observation, LEE's defense is very physically consuming, I believe you found it at the end of the first half, LEE's physical fitness, only played half of the game, and there is already a trend of not being able to keep up."

Then, we only need to do this and this in the second half, and we can directly drag down LEE in one step! And as long as we can drag LEE down before the end of the game, I believe that what will happen to the game, I don't need to say more, right? ”

Li Yi's defense, is there really no dead end?

No, no, no, in fact, Li Yi can't continue to defend now, and even if he can, it's not an existence without dead ends.

So what is Li Yi's blind spot? It's actually quite simple.

Li Yi's own defensive attributes are so embarrassing, and the reason why he can be so coquettish on the field is just because of the light that Barcelona and Messi like to pass.

As long as Messi is replaced by Ronaldo, there will be a few more unreasonable breakthroughs, I believe that Li Yi and Crystal Palace have already been penetrated.

Of course, these are just digressions, so don't mention them-

"Doot toot!" With the whistle of the referee on duty, Rizzoli, the second half of the Barcelona vs Crystal Palace match officially began.

In other words, when the game came back, the fans quickly discovered that there were two different places on the field compared to the previous half.

The first difference comes from Li Yi, who can be called a god-level performance in the first half.

In the second half of the first half, Li Yi can be said to have used his own defense to make Barcelona suffer, saying that Li Yi almost killed the entire Barcelona attack line by himself, although it is exaggerated, but it is not too far from the truth.

And now? After coming back from the second half of the game, Li Yi, who showed amazing energy on the defensive end due to physical factors, was no longer involved in his own defense most of the time. At most, Li Yi only retreated to the vicinity of the 30-meter area, and did not perform in his own penalty area like in the first half.

It is said that there are comings and goings, and the second change in this time is from Barcelona.

To tell the truth, Barcelona's attack in the first half, regardless of whether it was effective or not, the rhythm of their play was relatively fast.

And when they came back from the second half, without the commentator's commentary, the fans on the scene could easily see that Barcelona's attack rhythm had slowed down.

After constantly squeezing the defensive space of Crystal Palace and squeezing the three lines of Crystal Palace almost into a line, Barcelona is still not in a hurry to attack, but in the half of Crystal Palace, through passing, consuming the patience of the players on the field of Crystal Palace, by the way, it is still consuming the game time, and its appearance is simply the same as Barcelona is currently the leader on the field.

Keep passing, keep passing, pass about 4,5 feet, after winning the ball again, Xavi instinctively glanced up at the position where Li Yi was before.

Finding that Li Yi was still exactly the same as before, standing there and panting slowly, deeply feeling Guardiola's calculations, Xavi suddenly swept the ball forward and accelerated the form of the game on the field.

Why does Xavi feel that Pep Guardiola is a god operator?

Isn't it because of the midfielder's words?

After calculating that Li Yi's physical strength should not be able to keep up, Guardiola came up with all the methods that attacked in this direction.

Constant passing, constant transfer, Barcelona seems to be consuming the patience of the players on the field of Crystal Palace in the past few minutes, but in fact, the Barcelona players do all this, all they do is to observe Li Yi's reaction.

In Pep Guardiola's words, they call it – luring the snake out of the hole.

Ah, no, it's right to lure Li Yi out of the hole.

If Li Yi still had the physical strength, Barcelona passed the ball to the threatening side many times, Li Yi would have chased back to the vicinity of the penalty area, not to mention the direct penalty area ready to steal, at least not in the current position, near the midfield, right?

Therefore, at this time, Barcelona has completely confirmed that Li Yi's physical fitness has reached the limit, and it is impossible to cause any trouble to Barcelona's attack.

In this case, if Barcelona does not attack, when? ——

Turn your gaze back to the court.

In other words, seeing Xavi suddenly send a long pass near the midfield, the players of Crystal Palace did not have any consciousness at first, and felt that Barcelona played this kind of long pass and rushed to hang, which was purely a blind man lighting the lamp in vain!

However, it was not until they followed the line of the ball that they found that Eto'o actually beat Lescott, preemptively controlled the ball at his feet, and successfully entered his own penalty area and got a single chance, they suddenly woke up.

Because, in the process of the opponent's non-stop passing, the defense of Crystal Palace has been pressed into a straight line by the opponent, and the players of Crystal Palace know nothing.

Now, when Eto'o has a one-on-one chance, it will be too late for the Crystal Palace players to react!
