Chapter 450: Secret Weapon
After reading the report, Guardiola felt that the world was really coincidental. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he never thought that his team would have a connection with Zhou Yi before.
However, this incident is only a small episode, and it will not have any impact on Guardiola. For Pep Guardiola, this event is more like a relaxation in the intense preparation work, listening to stories to relax and relax.
After he read it, he turned the page on this matter and didn't take it to heart.
If you don't get Zhou Yi, you don't get Zhou Yi, it's not a big deal, and it won't make Guardiola feel that there is anything to regret about this.
His focus is still on Champions League games.
Since Zhou Yi is a player in some ways with Xavi's style of play, for Guardiola, things are simpler.
Because he couldn't be more familiar with Harvey, then in other words, he is also familiar with Zhou Yi.
His style of play, his passing penchant...... These Guardiola can find some hints in Xavi.
It should also be easier to limit Zhou Yilai.
After understanding his past football experience, it can be known that Zhou Yi's physical fitness is much better than when he first debuted, but his strength has not improved significantly. Whatever the reason, at least it can show that Zhou Yi is not a strong player.
Then you can make a fuss about this.
When dealing with Dortmund, some teams like to arrange two or three defensive players around Zhou Yi's core, hoping to suppress Zhou Yi with a numerical advantage.
But Guardiola does not intend to do this, on the one hand, because Barcelona, who played 433, does not have enough manpower to defend Zhou Yi, and on the other hand, Guardiola believes that Zhou Yi does not need so many people to defend.
He didn't even plan to do any man-to-man defense against Zhou Yi.
Barcelona is famous for its attack, and when it comes to Barcelona, it seems to be the symbol and representative of attacking football.
But in fact, many people ignore Barcelona's defense.
Barcelona were able to win last season's Champions League and their defence should not be overlooked.
Unlike some teams where defending is what defenders do, for Barcelona, defending is a team-wide thing.
While other teams only started defending when they were within 30 metres of their own, Barcelona started with the forward line.
Against any team, against any player, Barcelona will not change their strategy, which is regional defence.
Watching a Barcelona game, it is rare to see a Barcelona player defending one-on-one with the opposing player, on the contrary, it is not uncommon to see a player with the ball caught in the circle of two or three Barcelona players.
Unless the player with the ball has a lot of individual ability and a bit of luck, it's hard to break through the encirclement.
At the same time, due to the sensitivity of Barcelona players to the passing route, they can also easily cut off the passing route of the opposing player with the ball, completely isolating the player with the ball.
Barcelona can be seen defending like this in almost every corner of the pitch, and they always seem to be in the numerical advantage.
Some people will ask, this kind of defense requires a lot of running ability and super physical fitness, how can a team keep playing like this?
But Barcelona has the ability to do just that. This is also one of the things that has been overlooked by them, and that is that they are far more than the average team can run.
Football in Barcelona, both offensively and defensively, is built on excellent physical fitness.
With this kind of running ability, they can form a numerical advantage, whether it is offensive or defensive. If you run into an evenly matched opponent, rely on physical fitness to bring down the opponent.
Fitness and running, in fact, this is the secret of Barcelona's dominance in Europe.
This time, against Borussia Dortmund, who have Zhou Yi, Barcelona will also adopt this method.
Defensively, cut off Zhou Yi from other Dortmund players, and launch an attack through a series of midfield scrambles, constantly creating pressure on Dortmund to make mistakes themselves, and then seize them.

When Pep Guardiola led the Barcelona squad to Dortmund, it attracted attention from the media and fans.
At the airport, Barcelona soldiers were interviewed by the media.
"The Stade de West**** has a terrible home atmosphere and we will face a tough challenge in this game. But we're not afraid of our opponents, and we're going to win in the way we are good at. "As the captain of the team, Puyol said this very domineeringly, of course he is such a person, and it is his normal style to talk like this.
Messi, the most famous star of the Barcelona team, is a little more humble, but also a little simpler: "We will give it our all away from home." ”
As he said that, he nodded and refused the other reporters' requests for interviews, and went straight to the bus.
As one of the world's top stars, some shelf is still necessary.
You know, he's a superstar who's been interviewed for 1,000 euros a minute, and he's really a bit of gold.
The other Barcelona players were also chased by reporters, hoping to confide in the microphone and the camera.
Many of the Barcelona players did stop for interviews, and it was clear from their answers and expressions that they were in a relaxed mood.
Although this Champions League quarter-final, although their opponent is Dortmund, although they are playing away, but as a cosmic team, Barcelona has such confidence. This is the confidence of the strongest team in the world who have reached two finals in three years and won two Champions League titles. Although there are times when their self-confidence can be annoying to many people who don't like them, that is not a reason for them to be humble.

In the evening, German television also spent a lot of time covering the news of Barcelona's arrival in Dortmund. It can be seen how much attention everyone attaches to this team.
When they appeared at the exit of the airport terminal, the flashing lights on the scene were almost connected.
In addition to the Barcelona fans who had already arrived early to welcome them, the number of media reporters who came to report on the scene was even more exaggerated.
As the most fantastic team on the planet at the moment, Barcelona enjoy a huge popularity. Wherever they went, the flashing lights flashed and the screams rang out.
Grosskreuz, who was watching the news in the hotel, couldn't get used to Barcelona's appearance, and couldn't help but sneer: "It's time to roll out the red carpet for them!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yi, who lived in the same room with him, laughed, because what Grosskreutz said was too vivid.
Subsequently, the critics on the TV show began to analyze the match.
“...... For Borussia Dortmund, all the unfavorable circumstances have befallen them. The first is of course to meet Barcelona in the quarter-finals, and the second is that in terms of schedule, playing home first and then away, this is really not a good schedule...... I had one expectation for Jurgen Klopp's side - they went to Camp Nou in the second leg and lost less than Bayer Leverkusen......"
Before the words could be finished, there was a beep, and Grosskreutz turned off the TV.
"What nonsense!" he scolded, throwing the remote away. "When the time comes, you have to give them a good look! You say yes, Zhou Yi!"
"That's right!" Zhou Yi nodded vigorously and replied to Grosskloitz with a very firm smile and tone.
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Grosskloitz laughed: "We have a secret weapon!"
He seemed confident.
This time, Zhou Yi didn't echo him, because Zhou Yi thought of the secret weapon.
He can train in the virtual space every day, and his improvement is quite fast.
But what about their teammates?
Even if they spare fifteen minutes a day to train, there is a limit to how much time they can spend. Half a month is not enough time for a training session. Zhou Yi knows this very well, because he can use an hour as a day in the virtual space, and he still needs to spend a long time to practice a certain ability.
Now the team's approach is more like grinding guns.
Although it is said that the gun is sharpened in battle, it is not fast and light.
But to face a team of Barcelona's level, it's almost meaningless.
This can be seen in his repeated encounters with Barcelona in the simulation space.
Even after the special training of footbonaut, the Barcelona players have improved their passing and possession abilities to varying degrees.
But when Dortmund faced Barcelona, they still lost more and won less.
Although the competition in the virtual space is only a simulated game, this kind of probability and statistics-like numbers also have a certain meaning.
Some things can be said.
That is, in terms of the overall strength of the team, Dortmund and Barcelona are indeed not at the same level.
If you want to defeat such a powerful opponent, it is not enough to just sharpen your spear in battle......
