Chapter 164, what is it called to defend and attack

Pep Guardiola is certainly familiar with Yelo.

Now Yelo is a hot superstar in Europe.

The kind of player who is considered to be able to rule an era.

A giant that can get such a player.

You can often build a dynasty in the league and win a few Champions League titles with a bit of luck.

Arguably.

A superstar like Yelo, who can build a team entirely around him, is unlikely to be available in the transfer market.

And now, the opportunity to get a player of Ye Luo's level in the transfer market is in front of many giants and local tyrants.

How can you not be impressed?

On the Spanish side.

Jose Mourinho has repeatedly said that Real Madrid need a striker who can play explosive attacks in positional battles.

Isn't this just picking up Florentino to buy Yelo?

Because Real Madrid is in the lineup.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria both have strong passing abilities.

If Mourinho is not satisfied.

I want to buy a striker who is better than the two of them.

Then there are only two options.

One is Messi and the other is Yelo.

Messi, of course, is impossible to buy.

So the choice is only Ye Luoluo.

In other countries – mainly the Premier League.

Because the teams on this side of Serie A are unlikely to be able to afford Yelo's annual salary.

Even Juventus is cutting back on spending.

Now the one who has the money is in the Premier League.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams, are all pursuing Yelo.

Needless to say, Pep Guardiola.

He dreamed of seeing Messi and Ye Luo flying on both wings - oh, not just flying on both wings, Messi and Ye Luo are the kind of all-round attackers who can play on the left, center and right lines, if Messi and Ye Luo are paired with the offensive line, tsk, this picture is exciting just thinking about it.

So Pep Guardiola must have studied Yelo in depth.

He had also seen many teams deal with Yelo's thinking before.

But to sum it up, it's nothing more than two routes.

One is to pile up the number of people and compress the space.

This method is more passive, and it is also easy to give space to other players in Malaga.

The other is the card passing route, which separates and isolates Yelo and Chadjmága players.

But it's not easy to do.

Yelo's ability to run off the ball is also very strong.

So Guardiola thought about it and decided to change his thinking, not to think about how to completely restrict Yelo, but to think about how to focus on me and open up the situation.

And that's what Barcelona is good at.

"They're definitely going to try to press at home, right?"

Pep Guardiola asked members of his coaching staff.

Didn't wait for them to answer.

He continued: "It must be so, so. The space behind them can be put to good use. ”

The game hasn't started yet.

The Rose Garden Stadium was already full.

For the fans of Malaga.

this game.

It is the pinnacle of the team's history.

Champions League, semi-finals!

Reached the semi-finals in his first Champions League appearance.

This is a height that has never been reached in the history of Malaga.

Not to mention the Champions League.

The Europa League, as well as the predecessor of the Europa League, the League Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and the like.

Malaga has never been touched.

Don't say it's getting involved.

Even the seasons that have participated in these events are numbered.

Most of the teams in Europe's top five leagues are decades, if not centuries, old.

Pull out any team, in fact, you can find the peak of their history.

There are really few teams like Malaga that basically don't have any peak era.

That's why the fans in Malaga are excited.

Every Champions League match.

The Rose Garden Course was packed.

The achievements of this team have made people all over Malaga feel excited and hopeful.

In every stand of the Rose Garden Stadium, fans hold high flags, scarves and the like in their hands, forming a huge grandstand scenery.

Scarves and flags of different colors form a huge pattern in the stands.

'It looks like Barcelona are going to have a tough game in this stadium.'

'Malaga is going to beat Barcelona to reach the final, the home stadium is very important, and if you can't win at home, then there is basically no hope.

The reporters in the media gallery were full of discussions.

With the exception of Catalan journalists, most of the journalists actually sit on the side of Malaga.

Needless to say, the reporters of the Dragon Kingdom must support Ye Luo.

And the journalists in Madrid also supported Málaga to win.

Because if Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich to reach the final, they would rather face Malaga than Barcelona.

The neutral press media is not a big deal to see the excitement, and Malaga eliminated Barcelona.

Young David defeats the giant Goliath.

What good news fodder this is.

What a good gimmick?

Plus the previous UEFA operation.

It also makes this game have a dramatic element of a young hero challenging the evil dragon.

The Champions League has been played for so many years, but most of the time, especially after the Champions League restructuring, the Champions League is a game for the big teams.

Real Madrid play Manchester United.

Barcelona play Bayern.

Such a big showdown, a strong dialogue.

After watching too much, everyone is a little aesthetically fatigued.

On the contrary, it was a dark horse like Malaga who reached the semi-finals all of a sudden, making the scene of Ben coming to the Champions League semi-finals at this stage basically leaving the names of some well-known giants different.

Dark horses challenge the giants.

In particular, the battle for the Golden Boot between Yelo and Messi is also involved.

Everyone's interest was completely aroused.

Such a game.

Even a bystander will be enthusiastic.

As a matter of fact.

The competition was also intense.

The game has just begun.

Malaga pressed on it in a big way.

Barcelona, on the other hand, chose to keep the ball at the back and tried to win possession.

The two sides faced each other, and the collisions and confrontations between players on the court appeared frequently.

The fans at the Rose Garden Stadium are also cheering on Malaga in their own way.

Málaga went on a frantic pressing pitch and even hit the counter-attack on two occasions after a break in midfield, forcing Valdés to make saves.

But in the thirteenth minute of the game.

The first to score was Barcelona!

When Xavi unleashed a long ball and penetrated the Malaga defence.

Manuel Pellegrini stood up from the dugout with a thud.

Barcelona, play a long pass?!

He looked at Pep Guardiola in surprise.

But he reacted quickly.

Barcelona like short passes and ball control.

But that doesn't mean they don't have the ability to pass long distances.

Xavi's long pass and Messi's accurate connection.

When Messi singled Caballero and easily sent the ball into the goal.

The Rose Garden Stadium, which is extremely hot, seems to be poured with a basin of cold water

"Malaga. Still inexperienced. ”

"Barcelona are playing well."

"The players in Malaga were too excited, pressed too high and were exploited by Barcelona for the space behind them."

In the press gallery.

Journalists are shaking their heads.

Sidelines.

Manuel Pellegrini's face turned pale.

This game is too back.

Conceded in the opening thirteen minutes.

And it was a simple counterattack ball by Barcelona.

At that time, when he saw Barcelona controlling the ball at the back, passing back, and turning backwards, Pellegrini was not surprised.

Now he's coming to his senses.

People aren't afraid of your home turf.

Instead, I'll make up my mind to hit you in the back!

Malaga pressed it hard.

It can be said that it is in the hands of the opponent.

Barcelona scored first.

And it was an away goal.

This situation makes Malaga really uncomfortable.

If you continue to press it, then such a scene may appear more than once.

If they lose at home, then there is a high probability that Malaga will be eliminated.

The more Pellegrini thought about it, the more headaches he felt.

It stands to reason.

The semi-finals were also a great result for Malaga.

It's already a historic breakthrough for the team.

But men are greedy.

If you get to the quarterfinals, you want to get to the semifinals.

It's time for the Final Four.

I definitely want to play in the final.

When it comes to the finals, which team will say, "We're just here for a tour of the finals"?

So now Pellegrini isn't thinking, "We're all in the semi-finals, we should be satisfied."

He's still racking his brains about the possibility of winning.

So how do you win this game?

Continuing to press, it is definitely not okay to let Barcelona play this kind of pass behind him.

Messi and Sanchez both have great speed and very good skills at their feet.

Especially Messi.

If he is allowed to get such opportunities in a row.

Sooner or later, Malaga's defense will be broken by him.

So.

First of all, we have to change this style of play that presses up and leaves too much space at the back for Barcelona.

To win the championship, at the critical moment, it is necessary to be conservative, or to be conservative!

Press up and attack.

The media and fans liked it.

After all, it's a lively scene.

But Pellegrini knows that the risk is too great, and if Barcelona score another one, it will be all over and even the suspense of the second leg will be gone.

Pellegrini looked at Guardiola, who was not far away, sitting in the coach's seat, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, his face was very calm, and even looked a little relaxed, his brows furrowed even tighter.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

I didn't expect you, the shiny Guardiola, to come to the yin.

Play long passes, hit the back.

Why did you ignore this before?

While Pellegrini gave himself a review in his heart.

"Slow down the pace and step up the defense?!"

When Yelo got the latest instructions from the manager brought in by full-back Monterrey, he was stunned.

He thought the manager would ask for a stronger attack.

But Monterey doesn't know what the manager thinks, anyway, the manager said so, he's just a repeater, just bring the manager's adjustments to the rest of the teammate on the field.

"Ye, the head coach is worried that the space behind us will be penetrated by the opponent again, and the opponent is prepared." Vanney explained.

Ye Luo nodded.

There is such a big space in the back, if Barcelona plays such an attack once or twice again, and concedes the goal again, then the game will be completely explained.

That's why the manager chooses to strengthen the defense.

"But now we're still behind." Yelo looked at Barcelona's goal.

In fact, he prefers to play against his opponent so that he can have more offensive opportunities.

Striker, isn't the solution to the problem just to score goals?

Vanney smiled: "Ye, you may be the most individual player in the world right now, but sometimes, some experience of our old guys may also be useful to you." ”

"I want to hear about it." Ye Luo humbly asked.

'For a striker, the chances to score don't just come when the team is attacking,' said Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"What do you mean?" Ye Luo suddenly realized.

Fanny patted Ye Luo on the shoulder: "Ye, you are really smart. ”

He blinked.

'If they can score our goal like that, can't we return the color in the same way? Go for it, I'll help you. ”

Veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy's fitness has dropped quite a bit.

But his experience and intelligence still allow him to make an impact on the pitch.

See Vanney's back.

Ye Luo clenched his fist slightly.

The home team is behind first.

For Malaga, it was a difficult game.

But isn't that difficult?

Along the way, have you encountered fewer difficulties?

One goal behind.

The team needed an equaliser.

That means the team needs to score!!

And that's your task!

Barcelona didn't mess with the recycling in Malaga.

They're pretty good at attacking.

And now Malaga took the initiative to shrink back, and Barcelona, who was one goal ahead, pressed up.

For Pep Guardiola, an away goal wasn't enough to kill the game.

Since the start is so smooth.

So why not just score a few more goals?

The leading Barcelona skillfully played the ball in central midfield.

Looks.

They seem to be in complete control.

This scene made the fans of the Rose Garden Stadium frown.

'Malaga were suppressed by Barcelona in control of the game, it was a bad game against Malaga, they needed to score an equaliser, but now most of the ball is at the feet of Barcelona.

Duan Xuan's tone was a little anxious.

This anxious mood also infected the fans of Dragon Country.

"Why did you shrink back?"

"This coach is too cowardly."

"If you're behind, press up and attack!"

On the Internet, many fans are a little anxious.

"I think it's the right choice, Barcelona's last goal was scored after hitting a through ball, Barcelona came prepared, continued to press, left space at the back, in case of another beat, it will be over."

Emperor Youqiu said.

"You know Mao, then if you play like this, even if Barcelona doesn't score, won't you be eliminated!"

"It's only one behind, what's the hurry?"

The fans were also split into two factions.

The commentators thought Pellegrini had made a rational choice.

Did Daniel's performance help Málaga win?

Now Malaga is actively contracting.

Barcelona, which is one goal ahead, has an anti-away position.

Although Málaga also has a purpose to play long balls on the counter-attack.

But Barcelona's pressing up front was targeted.

They tend to press as a team, blocking your forward passes, and a lot of times, long passes from the back often turn into big clearances – which makes it difficult to get any accuracy.

Add to that the absence of Cazorla, the team's key passer.

As a result, the team's ability to pass the ball has dropped a notch.

So Ye Luo's several shocks were in vain.

A teammate's "long pass" is either out of the baseline or out of the touchline.

But Ye Luo still rushes every time.

To score goals.

You can't afford to miss a single opportunity.

The core of modern football is even one word: run!

Run, in order to have a chance.

"Isco's long pass! Oops, it's big! ”

The narrators are shaking their heads.

A pass from the back flew into the field.

The ball looked like it was headed straight for goalkeeper Valdés.

Partnering Mascherano at centre-back in this game was Gerard Pique.

He looked at the path of the ball, then at Yelo's position, and made a defensive choice.

He was going to block Yelo with his body and then let the ball go so that Valdés could easily control the ball.

So he took a few steps forward, then stood still.

As long as Ye Luo rushes up.

As long as he doesn't move, it's a foul.

And if Yelo had been going around him, the ball would have been obtained by Valdés.

It stands to reason that Pique's choice is no problem.

The only problem was that he hadn't expected Yelo's bouncing ability.

Pique was shocked when Yelo jumped high in front of him, headed the ball to the other side, and he hurriedly got his hands on it to pull Yelo's shirt.

But Ye Luo finally got this machine, how could he easily let Pique destroy it.

He slammed his force into the direction of the ball as soon as he landed, and he broke free of Pique in one fell swoop.

And Pique's Toda this time also cheated Mascherano.

Mascherano chased back at high speed.

Fall to the ground before Yelo touches the ball and put a tackle.

But Yelo was quicker than him, kicking the ball forward first, and then Mascherano tackled Yelo to the ground

Ye Luo fell to the ground.

The whistle blew.

"Foul! It's a foul!! Duan Xuan shouted excitedly.

"Mascherano didn't tackle the ball, he tackled! He spoiled a single knife! ”

Pellegrini immediately spread his arms and rushed to the sidelines: "Single knife! He spoiled the single knife! He spoiled the single knife with a foul!! Hey! Hey! Remember! That's a single knife!! ”

With a foul, destroy a single knife.

What this means.

All the fans know it well.

The whole Rose Garden field blew up.

The focus of everything is on the referee of this game, the referee from Germany, Henin.

Henin pulled the sign out of his pocket.

There are both red and yellow.

Ultimately.

He was holding it in his hand.

It's the red one!!
