Chapter 300: Pi sees through it, and Rossi is being targeted
In less than 20 minutes of the first half, conceding a goal was somewhat unexpected for the whole Barcelona team.
Before the goal, they had a lot of time firmly in possession.
The opponent only needed a long pass from the back to counterattack and score.
It's a little frighteningly efficient.
Especially Bayern's No. 4.
He was too calm on the edge of the box to pull the ball and split the ball.
No wonder his goal efficiency is even higher than Messi's.
You really can't underestimate him.
Enrique stood on the sidelines, touching his embarrassed stubble, a little thoughtful.
Rossi's performance is certainly eye-catching.
What he cares more about is Carlo Ancelotti's tactics.
The Italian coach spotted the large space left behind Rakitic after he stepped forward to attack.
That No. 4 was inserted into this vacuum in the counterattack.
Although Sergio Busquets rushed back to defend, he calmly shook the defence away.
Taking advantage of the time for the Bayern team to celebrate, Enrique called Rakitic to his side and told him to pay more attention to the right side of the defense.
Rakitic has excellent stamina and running ability, can attack and defend, and is not bad at organising attacks, so he can be said to be a more well-rounded midfielder.
He travels an astonishing 9 kilometers per game.
This is also the reason why Enrique dared to put Xavi on the bench in the early days of his arrival at Barcelona.
The game resumes with Barcelona kicking off.
Bayern, after taking the lead, did not rush to attack, but organized the defense in the half.
Although Barcelona's passing control has not reached its peak, it is still very difficult to break the ball.
The ball was distributed to Messi on the right.
Under Enrique, Messi began to complete a transformation.
In his early 20s, he tortured the side of the road through the gaps on the sidelines, and then cut in with his left foot like a sharp scythe.
Now, however, he is on the wing and is able to watch the goal through a diagonal line.
Better vision, let his passing, like a scalpel, look for opportunities accurately.
Being able to rush, pass, cooperate with teammates, and play exquisite coordination is the only way for Messi to truly become the king of the ball.
In just five minutes, Barcelona used skillful passing to keep the ball firmly at their feet.
And the Bayern players, during this period, did not touch the ball once.
They're starting to get a little anxious.
It's not a good sign that the ball is controlled by the opponent for a long time.
And the number of times Barcelona returned to their own half was getting less and less.
Perhaps the Bayern players did not realize that their midfield defense was gradually compressed and very flat.
In the 26th minute, Messi took the ball on the right side and led it to the middle.
At this time, Bayern's midfield and back line are relatively compact, trying to intercept the opponent's ground transmission.
Suddenly, Messi suddenly accelerated, continued to dribble the ball horizontally, first shook off the defense of Martinez, and then coldly kicked straight into the penalty area.
Thiago didn't have time to react as the pass came so suddenly that the ball passed between his legs and appeared on the left side of the goal.
[Beautiful, Messi's through ball went through! ] γ
[Yinnesta! γ
γDirect Shot!γ γ
[Dangerous! γ
[The ball grazes the far post and rolls out of the baseline.] γ
[Really, it's just a little bit off!] γ
Before the Bayern players could come to their senses, Messi was in the midfield, instigating an attack.
His pass directly penetrated two of Bayern's defenses.
Iniesta, who was inserted from the left rib, faced the attacking Noyer, and pushed the ball directly into the far corner without stopping, wanting to hit the goalkeeper by surprise.
Fortunately, when Noyer attacked, his center of gravity was pressed very low, and his right hand gently flicked the ball and changed the course.
If it is not blocked, the ball must pass.
After defusing the threatening goal, Noyer also shook his fist and gave Lahm a high-five in celebration.
Messi's strategy pass is terrible.
Not to mention that the ball is very hidden.
It was precisely because of Messi's appearance that Ram ignored Innesta, who was inserted in the back.
Barcelona's attack also sounded the alarm for Bayern players.
Constantly being played by the opponent, using passes, makes the midfield and the backfield too flat.
At this time, Barcelona only needs to pass the ball behind them, and they can hit the space behind Bayern.
Carlo Ancelotti hurriedly let Martinez, grab as much as he could, more aggressive.
Barcelona continued to play tactical corners.
After full-back Ro Alba received the ball, he saw that Suarez was already ambushed in the penalty area, and crossed a low ball to the goal.
Hummels' follow-up flew in time and Suarez opted to head in the face of his interference.
The ball grazed the post and flew off the baseline.
Although the Bayern players don't want to admit it, so far, Barcelona has taken the initiative on the field.
Enrique's team not only retained the original pass-and-control system, but also added counter-attacking tactics.
Like the wide cross just now, there were very few tactics before that.
Bayern kick off and Noyer passes the ball forward with a big foot.
Lai Wan retreats to catch the ball, and can easily control the ball firmly at his feet.
After a pass back to the side, Rossi cut in between the two Barcelona centre-backs to attract the defence.
Thiago, who received the ball, after getting rid of Busquets' defence, passed the ball to the feet of Robben on the right.
Coming to his familiar position, Luo Laohan took out his housekeeping skills and cut inward horizontally.
Rossi's counter-run diagonal cut was meant to make room for him in the middle and take away Umtiti's defence.
Laiwan's forward insertion also attracted Pique's attention.
If it's just against the full-backs, Robben has absolute confidence to create chances on goal.
But Rakitic's timely return to defense allowed him to be caught at the top of the arc of the penalty area.
In desperation, Robben chose to pass to Rossi, who was inserted forward.
But Pique, who was old and spicy in defense, had already seen through his intentions and moved ahead of time to cut off the ball.
I can see through all Ronaldo's feints,
And that includes you, of course!
After completing the steal, Pique threw a contemptuous look at Robben, intentionally or unintentionally.
In the following time, the two teams attacked each other, but they were all defused by each other's solid defenses.
With a score of 1:0, the first half of the game ended between the two sides.
Bayern, who are in the lead, cannot be taken lightly.
In the first half, Barcelona controlled 68% of the possession time and threatened more attacks.
"Well done everyone!"
"The opponent's left side is still our main point of attack!"
"Aryang, continue to rush here in the second half!"
An Fat's tactic is very simple, which is to seize the defensive weakness of the opponent's left side and punch hard.
If Alba is forced to retreat, then Barcelona's attack will be completely compressed on the right side, and it will be relatively easy to defend.
"Luo, your position is very important!"
"Don't be lazy with me!"
After learning that Rosie's physical condition was very good, An Fat would not pity him.
And judging from the attack in the first half, Rossi's movement did create several shooting opportunities for his teammates.
BarΓ§a dressing room.
Enrique put his hands in his pockets, slightly pensive, his eyes fixed on the tactical board.
In the first half, the team created far more chances than their opponents.
But Bayern's counter-attack was more efficient.
"We played well in the first half, we just lacked a bit of luck, so don't be discouraged."
Enrique affirmed the player's performance, and then, with a pen, drew a circle on the tactical board.
"Here's the focus of our defense in the second half!"
The Barcelona player knew at a glance that the player in this position was Rossi.
He was on either side of the penalty area, very frequent, and his movement was quite odd.
If you're not careful, he'll appear in unexpected places.
"Yin Wan, in the second half, you have to be more active in defending and work with Sergio to defend him."
Rakitic and Busquets looked at each other, a little surprised.
Just a Rosie, and he actually wants them to join forces?
He's not Messi!
Enrique continued: "Also, Samiel, you are in charge of running up and down and fighting, Gerrard has to hold back and defend, and we have to have depth in our defence. β
Umtiti had seen Rossi's position and nodded silently.
Pique, on the other hand, showed a hint of disdain.
After arranging the tactics, Enrique looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone in the second half, come on!" β
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
