As a matter of fact.

Arsenal have indeed received an unprecedented welcome in Lisbon!

Yelo reached the Champions League final again after a season's absence.

It has greatly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans of the Dragon Country.

Many tour groups have taken the opportunity to launch European tours for the Champions League final.

Even Dragon Nation fans who can't buy tickets for the event.

I'm also looking forward to being in Lisbon and witnessing Arsenal's ascent to the top in this kind of city!

Except for Dragon Nation fans.

In fact, the Arsenal fans are also quite enthusiastic.

This is the second time in the club's history that the club has reached the Champions League final.

And.

The opponent of the last time.

Also Barcelona.

Last time.

Arsenal have also reached the pinnacle of their history.

However, they met Barcelona, who was also at the top.

Missing out on the Champions League.

"This time! We will take home the Big Ear Cup!! ”

North London.

The local Arsenal fan group came to Lisbon with the team with such a slogan!!

Compared to the enthusiasm of the Arsenal fans.

Although the same is on the Iberian Peninsula.

Barcelona fans are much calmer.

They have reached two Champions League finals in recent years, winning the title twice.

Barcelona fans can just wait an hour or two before the game to arrive in Lisbon and watch the game at the Stadium of Light.

When the entire Arsenal squad arrived in Lisbon.

Arsenal's players have felt the enthusiasm of the fans for the Champions League final.

In particular, the scene of a large number of Dragon Kingdom fans picking up the airport made them extremely shocked.

Similarly, when Arsenal borrowed Benfica's training base.

There are even more journalists around Arsenal than there are in Barcelona.

There are media comments.

This illustrates.

In terms of "star level", Yelo has surpassed Messi.

The Catalan media, of course, has something to say.

This is because there are too many media in the Dragon Kingdom.

But actually.

The current degree of attention of Ye Luo is indeed more than Messi.

And these days.

Inside Barcelona, the only topic of discussion. How to curb Ye Luo's play.

Enrique is well aware that this issue is at stake in this Champions League final.

To win against Arsenal.

It's going to contain Ye Luo.

This logical relationship is very normal and reasonable.

As a matter of fact.

Many media believe that.

If both sides take out their biggest stars: Arsenal take Yelo, Barcelona take Messi.

so

Arsenal's lineup, compared to Barcelona, is really too inferior!

But for any team.

Contain Yelo.

It's almost an unsolvable puzzle.

Because.

People can't find Ye Luo's shortcomings.

Messi is strong.

But he has weaknesses.

Because he is relatively short, his size and header are Messi's weaknesses.

As long as there is a weakness, there is a way to defend.

Even if it doesn't work at times.

But it will also give other directions.

So.

What about Yelo's weaknesses?

He's physical, he's top in duels, he's top in heading, he's top in dribbling, he's top in speed, he's top in shooting.

Even.

He played the pass in midfield.

The same is top-notch.

Coupled with his free-kicks, it's almost all-time top-level existence.

Against such a player.

How do you defend?

When Enrique got his mind into the headache of "how to defend Yelo".

He was almost caught up in internal friction.

He thought about it for days.

Didn't come up with a solution.

I'm almost thinking of myself as Pep Guardiola – he's losing a lot of his hair these days.

Think of Pep Guardiola.

Enrique thought of Barcelona a few years ago.

Compared to Barcelona in previous years.

The current Barcelona can be said to be not inferior in terms of lineup.

But why.

It seems that there is no longer the momentum of the Cosmos team to see who will destroy whom?

This is because.

The whole world is looking at Barcelona, studying their possession tactics and working out ways to do it.

This is the norm in the world of football.

You are the strongest.

People will study you.

There are so many smart people in this world.

Barcelona's tactics could not have been impeccable either.

Any tactic has a relative shortcoming.

Tactically, Barcelona are almost being turned over and over again.

And what about mentality?

Barcelona.

Already at the top of their game, they won all the first prizes.

In this case.

The hunger and thirst of the players has also dropped a lot.

So, combine these two aspects.

Enrique's Barcelona actually has some corresponding changes.

That is, they don't play possession all the time.

They also sometimes defend low and take chances to counter-attack.

Imagine that.

When this Barcelona team has a chance to counter-attack.

It was Neymar, Suarez, and Messi who rushed up.

The back line of any team in this world is probably very difficult to resist.

Come to think of it.

Enrique seemed a little enlightened.

"Always thinking about how to defend but, the other side just has a guy with no shortcomings, rather than this, it's better to attack!"

He said to his assistant.

"Attack?"

"That's right! Attack!! ”

The more Enrique thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the only solution.

There's no way to defend it.

Then attack!

Crazy attack!

Anyway.

Defence is also not something Barcelona is good at.

Although fundamentally.

Barcelona actually possess the ball most of the time for defense, their slow backwards in the backfield are more often to consume game time, while keeping the ball at their feet to avoid giving the opponent a chance to attack, and then when the opponent presses up and tries to grab the ball, suddenly come with a few through passes to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Here's why.

Many fans feel that Barcelona's football is lethargic – it's not flashy attacking football, it's essentially a defensive counter-attack.

Who said that defense can only be low, pile up numbers, and compress space.

Barcelona used their ability at their feet and their skills to pass the ball in possession.

Dominate the vast majority of the ball.

Equally.

It's a kind of defense.

Due to the fact that Barcelona's midfield players are strong enough.

So.

Their sudden change of pace can often penetrate their opponents in one fell swoop.

Therefore.

Fight against each other.

Barcelona has plenty of confidence.

Arsenal's attack is not weak.

But

Barcelona's attack, stronger!

After the train of thought is opened.

Enrique was immediately transparent.

Defending Yelo?

It's too hard.

But break through the Arsenal defence. But there is no problem.

Arsenal's defence is not steel, they have conceded 27 goals in the Premier League this season, more than Manchester United and Chelsea!

Barcelona, on the other hand.

They have conceded 19 goals in the league this season.

That's eight fewer than Arsenal.

Arsenal's defence.

In terms of ability, I am afraid that it is inferior to Barcelona's defense.

The tradition of Barcelona is to play control football.

But in this game.

Enrique don't control.

He asks his players to make quick through passes when they have the chance, and play a fast-paced attack that comes and goes!! (End of chapter)
