Section 693 Significance of fake falls

(Cat flutter Chinese Barcelona made such a choice, in fact, there is a bit of helplessness. Although they fell behind in the first half of the game, but their overall situation, in their own opinion, played well, although Zhao Yaning played a good ball in front of Puyol, but Barcelona in recent years is not known for its impeccable defense, it is easy to play into a situation of attacking when encountering a strong team, Liverpool is not a weak team, Zhao Yaning is a guy with outstanding strength, if it is just a goal behind, they can accept it, and they can afford to wait.

However, the current Barcelona is not a one-goal error, but two goals behind. Valdés' mistake put Barcelona in a premature stalemate and they had to speed up their attack. Sometimes, a low-level mistake is likely to cause a tragedy for an entire game, or even a series, or even a season, and the butterfly effect is very scary.

And sending Iniesta is a change they have to make, although they themselves know very well that the consequence of this is to let their back line be exposed, and it is very likely that all kinds of big problems will be qualified, but even so, they really have no other choice.

However, Iniesta's arrival did not change the situation much. Liverpool is very serious about their backfield defense, and Sissoko has not had the opportunity to play because of many games, and now he desperately wants to show himself, and he is also playing extremely well, this game, his running and tackling have made the Barcelona players helpless, and he will naturally not let the opponent take advantage of it at this time.

There was nothing unexpected about Andres Iniesta being replaced: there were only a few substitutes for Barcelona, and if they didn't go to Iniesta or Upper Gyuli, they didn't have too many people. Whether Iniesta will be able to make a good enough contribution is hard to say.

Andres Iniesta has been considered a talent since his debut – and even his Spanish team-mates who have worked with him in the national team are very positive.

Zhao Yaning knew that he knew it for a long time - Iniesta and Morientes were fellow countrymen, and Morientes had mentioned him earlier. The player, who became famous in Spain at the age of 13, said in an interview that the team he most wanted to play for was Real Madrid, but he was immediately signed by Barcelona. In this regard, Morientes also deeply regretted it at the beginning, and he believed that Iniesta's strength was no worse than Zhao Yaning.

Of course, Zhao Yaning expressed doubts about this. After all, his strength is difficult to predict. And Iniesta, a player who has been bought by Barcelona as a genius since he was a child, has also grown up very well. Barcelona proved what a remarkable decision it was. Their signing of Andres Iniesta has shown his genius in the time that followed.

Iniesta's technique and ball sense are indeed excellent, and even, if you put aside your physical fitness, if you simply talk about technique, his technique should be regarded as the best one in Barcelona, whether it is Ronaldo or Messi, in terms of technology, it cannot be compared with him. Ronaldo's dribbling moves have deteriorated since he moved from Brazil to Europe, and even at his peak, he relied on his excellent flexibility. And Messi's cadence is too good, most of the time his passing does not need feints, and he can directly accelerate in one step, so the overly natural rhythm of football is too special, and there is less for further refinement of technology. In contrast, Iniesta's ball sense, technique, and ability to control the ball, purely in terms of skill, are indeed the best in the whole of Barcelona.

This is truly a remarkable genius.

But apart from the technical aspect, many of his weaknesses are natural. One is that his physical fitness is really not very good, a 170cm player, in addition to technique, the most important thing is explosiveness and agility, otherwise, it will not be able to get rid of the opponent. And Iniesta, who is precisely the person with poor explosiveness, although he can make up for some shortcomings in speed and agility by relying on skillful passing and receiving cooperation, but no matter how to make up for it, this inherent problem is difficult to fill. Physical defects will greatly affect the play of a person's style of play.

Andres Iniesta claims to be able to play as a midfielder and on the wing, but in reality, he can't play on the wing. When he plays on the wing, Barcelona always plays a mess, and it is okay to bully and bully the weak team, but it is inevitable to suffer when playing a strong team. Players without explosiveness basically rely on shaking and rhythm changes, Iniesta plays well in the middle, but when it comes to the wings, he can't get past people with this style of play - he and the English genius are exactly the two extremes, which is a big problem.

And besides, what is more of a problem for him than his physical defect is his sense of passing, which is a big problem.

Many say that Iniesta is the inheritance of Barcelona's No.4 and the successor to Xavi. However, this statement is actually very difficult to achieve. Although Iniesta has much stronger belt control skills than Xavi, his passing awareness is not up to Xavi's level. Even, not to mention comparing with Xavi, even compared with Barcelona's rising star Messi, he also has some gaps.

A good dribbling player must know how to distinguish between when to pass, when to shoot, and when to continue to carry down. Although Messi's passing does not have Xavi's excellent control, nor does he have Xiao Luo's weird imagination and penetration, but when he should pass the ball, he will never take more and never pass the ball randomly. Andres Iniesta, on the other hand, doesn't have that awareness, he sometimes sticks to the ball too much, takes the ball to no chance, and then passes it out – a problem that, of course, is another huge reason to hinder his progress.

'After Andres Iniesta came on, things didn't get much better for Barcelona. Lineker was quick to see that "they weren't playing as hard as they were in the first half." Could it be that Barcelona's Dream II team, after a short year of glory, is about to collapse? ”

Lineker would say this because at this time, Barcelona's attack could no longer be sustained.

Andres Iniesta took the ball, took a step forward, and gently flicked it around with his right foot. His explosive power is insufficient, and the strength in his calves is not enough for him to have enough strength to complete a very large change of direction, or Matthews feints, flicking the tail of the bull and other actions, all he can do is just such a small shaking, relying on his own shaking, to lure the opponent to grab, and then, relying on his own sense of rhythm, past the opponent.

This method is often effective, and it is not for nothing that players with good skills rely on rhythm changes to pass people and are considered to be the highest level of excellence. This kind of passing method does not hurt the body, does little damage to oneself, and can also mess up the opponent's rhythm, which has always been the most admired.

However, Sissoko's snatch was indeed unexpectedly ferocious, and the violent tackling ability of this black man made Iniesta's small body unable to cope with it. He kicked the ball to Deco in the back. Deco gave the ball to Messi on the other side, and Messi took the ball and tried to break through twice forward, but it was also in vain.

In desperation, he could only choose a kick back pass, and Deco, who received the ball again, did not choose to attack again this time, but gave the ball back to Xavi with a kick of return.

However, at this time, Gerrard also rushed back, this time, he didn't give Xavi space to turn around, and directly grabbed the moment Xavi received the ball, and immediately kicked it over.

Xavi had no choice but to kick the ball to Iniesta, who was running to pick up, and he knew that this pass was not good, so he immediately thought of intercepting.

Sure enough, by this time, Sissoko had already rushed up, made a tackle, and shoveled the ball.

But at this time, Iniesta rolled to the ground with his legs in his arms and cried out.

"It looks like Sissoko fouled ......"

"Momo, what's going on?" Zhao Yaning and Gerard, who ran over, were a little strange, they knew Sissoko's defensive movements, but when Sissoko was defending, he was also very accurate. They've seen Sissoko make a number of tackles, but the fouls that hurt are few and far between.

"I didn't touch him......" Sissoko said without saying a word. Obviously, he wanted to say that Iniesta faked a fall. But after all, such words are too ugly, and his temper is not willing to say such words.

"Are you saying he faked a fall?" I don't know when, Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdés has rushed to the front and roared angrily, "He never fakes a fall, this is your foul!" ”

"You're in the box, how do you see things up front?" Zhao Yaning couldn't help but speak next to him, "The referee hasn't spoken yet, what are you yelling at?" ”

"I'm afraid that the referee will be influenced by you, Iniesta is a good boy, he never fakes a fall, you can't frame him!"

Zhao Yaning wanted to say something, but Alonso pulled Zhao Yaning: he understood, where did Valdés see what was going on? His idea is one: rely on the excitement of the crowd to put pressure on the referee, so that the referee does not dare to re-sentence. Generally speaking, the referee has the task of maintaining the normal progress of the game, such a foul is of little significance, and after Barcelona puts pressure on the referee, the referee will naturally be slightly biased towards them: even the goalkeeper has rushed up, such a short mood, if you don't appease it a little, the following games will be more troublesome.

Being able to think of letting the goalkeeper plug in the theory of finding the referee for a long distance, so as to prove his anger, in exchange for the referee's care, such an arrangement is really a talent initiative.

When the referee came, he blew for Sissoko's foul and then motioned for Iniesta to get up. After all, this is the Camp Nou, and besides, the fall in the midfield has nothing to do with the penalty, and the referee did not blow the penalty excessively.

"Sissoko's foul...... There should be no danger in this place's free kick, but this attack was interrupted like this. ”

Lineker said at this time the most important purpose of Barcelona's fake fall.

Such a foul does not seem to have any offensive significance. However, the defensive implications of it are not negligible.

Barcelona's back line is weak, and the ability to block the opponent's counterattack is not good enough, if the opponent plays a quick counterattack, Barcelona will always be difficult to stop the opponent with Xavi's blocking.

And how to block a quick counterattack? They don't have a good enough midfielder, and the one they came up with was an ingenious one – a fall.

As soon as a player falls, the game is naturally suspended. Regardless of which side is responsible, at least at this time of the penalty blowing, the game cannot continue.

It's just that generally speaking, if you want to suspend the game and obstruct the normal progress of the game, you rely on your own fouls. Barcelona, however, had no choice. They chose to fall and then besiege the referee, in this way, to achieve the same effect as a tactical foul. If they are blown and faked, it is just the result of a tactical foul, and they are not blown and the other party is blown off, and they can still earn it. Coupled with their set of corresponding measures to besiege the referee, this method can be regarded as ingenious.

It's just that it's a football game after all. In football games, it is really good to not think about how to make up for their tactical shortcomings, but to rely on such unconventional means, even almost deceptive means, to make up for the shortcomings?

Isn't it a little too ugly for a team that claims to be art football to play in such a way? Is such a team really a dream team? Cat flutter Chinese
