Chapter 396 You Have Messi, I Have Lin Huang!

"interesting!"

In the stands, Klopp's eyes suddenly lit up after seeing the restrictive effect of Manchester City on Barcelona.

Guardiola really has something. The positioning of Manchester City players on the field is definitely very important. Barcelona's offensive space is severely restricted, and there is almost no opportunity to take advantage of it.

Klopp couldn't help but put himself into the role of Barcelona coach, thinking about how he would break down Manchester City's defense if he were Enrique.

However, due to the short time and the fact that Guardiola's tactical arrangements are not very clear, I will not be able to find a solution to the problem for a while.

Thinking of this, Klopp made up his mind.

Just go to the Premier League and try your luck!

There are top coaches like Guardiola in the Premier League. Being able to play against such top coaches will be of great help to improve one's own strength.

On the other hand, Bayern head coach Heynckes also has a strong interest in Guardiola's defensive tactics.

"Guardiola reasonably allocated the number of players in each area and strengthened the defense in the front area of ​​his penalty area, which is the 5th area, to prevent Barcelona from scoring the ball in this area.

As a result, although Barcelona had the upper hand in terms of ball possession rate and number of passes, it failed to form an effective offense and greatly reduced the efficiency of time utilization. "

The pass-and-control style of play pioneered by Guardiola in Barcelona in his early years has been studied many times by the world, and the core of this tactic has been figured out.

The core of pass-and-control football is to control the ball at your own feet, increase your own offensive rounds and reduce the opponent's offensive rounds.

As a result, the difference in the number of shots between the two sides will be very large, and the more shots are taken, the number of goals will also increase, and the opponent will have fewer chances to shoot, so it will naturally be difficult to defeat Barcelona.

Unless their offensive efficiency is extremely high and they can seize limited offensive opportunities and hit the target with one hit.

There are such teams, but they are rare, and only a handful of top clubs can do it.

The vast majority of teams in the middle and lower reaches do not have such strength. Therefore, in the league, Guardiola's team uses pass-and-control tactics to almost no disadvantage. It is very easy to score points in the league, and the team's record is as stable as an old dog.

But in the Champions League, they met all the top teams in the major leagues, and the further back they went, the stronger the teams they encountered.

Therefore, his team often overturned in the Champions League and frequently failed in the knockout rounds.

Football matches are nothing more than a game of time and space. Manchester City's ability to control the ball is not as good as Barcelona's, so Guardiola seizes the space and amplifies his own advantage.

As a result, Manchester City is almost invincible.

Even if they fail to score in the end, they can still drag Barcelona into overtime or even a penalty shootout with their effective defense.

So, now it's Barcelona's turn to take action. Facing Guardiola's move, what adjustments will Enrique make?

Enrique has obviously realized that there are problems in the team's offense, so he asked Iniesta to move closer to Messi, and used the tacit cooperation between the two to carry out passing and cutting cooperation in a small space in the frontcourt.

This move quickly achieved results. Both of them have strong breakthrough and passing abilities. Together, the two of them exerted the effect of one plus one greater than two, effectively disrupting Manchester City's defense.

After all, the time Guardiola came to Manchester City was limited and he did not completely complete the transformation of the team.

This tactic of his was rarely used in previous games, and the players were not skilled in using it.

Therefore, there are still loopholes in the entire defensive system, and a superstar like Messi has a top-notch ability to capture opportunities.

After seeing a flaw in the opponent's defense, he quickly seized the opportunity.

Messi passed the ball to Iniesta and ran forward.

Iniesta passed back to the advancing Messi, and the two completed a one-two.

After receiving the ball, Messi passed the ball to Neymar. Neymar drove straight in and continued to play one-on-one with Messi.

At this time, most of Manchester City's defensive players were concentrated on the left, because Messi, Neymar and others all ran to this area.

In another area, there is space in front of Suarez and Pedro. Just waiting for someone to pass the ball, it will be a very threatening shot.

Kolarov stared at Suarez and didn't give him any chance, but how could Suarez be a wasted person?

His movement was like a ghost, seemingly rushing toward the goal, intending to get closer to his teammates and catch the ball better.

However, after Kolarov caught up, he quickly retreated and received Messi's pass in the middle of the penalty area.

This is a rare open space, and no one within one meter of Suarez can threaten him.

How could Suarez let go of such an excellent opportunity?

The knife falls from the hand!

The score was rewritten to 2:3. Barcelona scored two goals in a row and took the lead again!

At this time, the game time has reached the 79th minute, and there are only ten minutes left before the end of the game.

Barcelona only needs to hold on for the last ten minutes to win the Triple Crown this season!

"Suarez, he stepped up and scored a crucial goal!"

"Man City are in a desperate situation. If they can't score quickly, they will probably be eliminated!"

In the major commentary booths, the commentators felt that Suarez's goal was likely to bring the game to an end.

Although the game is not over yet, this goal has made Barcelona invincible.

If Manchester City wants to defeat Barcelona, ​​they need to score at least two goals.

It is almost impossible to score two goals in such a short period of time.

Therefore, for Barcelona, ​​the worst result is just to be dragged into overtime.

But their offensive tactics just worked, which means this goal can be replicated.

Even if they are dragged into overtime, they can definitely defeat Manchester City with this move.

Even, in the next game, Barcelona may further expand its lead.

This goal made Bartomeu and Barcelona coach Enrique excited in the box!

After being frightened for dozens of minutes, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and saw the dawn of victory.

The hard work of the past year has finally come to fruition.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Suarez score, Guardiola's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

This is the effect that Barcelona tried to achieve in the first half, but unexpectedly it came out in the second half!

Sure enough, a player like Messi cannot relax for a moment in terms of his defensive intensity.

At this time, Guardiola finally realized what it felt like for his opponents to meet Barcelona with unstoppable Messi on the field.

This feeling is really uneasy!

However, Guardiola did not give up easily. Barcelona has Messi, but don’t Manchester City have Lin Quan?

Lin Quan happened to look towards him, so Guardiola immediately waved to him and called him to the sidelines.

"Lin, we don't have much time, we must score as soon as possible!"

Lin Quan nodded, indicating that he understood the urgency of the matter.

But in the second half, Barcelona's defense against him was very targeted. They strengthened their interceptions on De Bruyne, David Silva and others, and did not give them the opportunity to pass the ball to them.

If he takes the initiative to retreat to catch the ball, he will be intercepted by multiple defense lines of the opponent because he is too far back. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty for Lin Quan to score.

This is not surprising, after all, he has scored two goals for Barcelona. If Barcelona does not pay attention to his defense, it will really be a fool.

And now that Barcelona has taken the lead, in order to maintain this lead, they will definitely try their best to defend.

In this case, it becomes more difficult to break Barcelona's goal.

"Let's do this..." Guardiola has obviously thought of a way.

Barcelona's celebration took nearly two minutes, and by the time they ended their celebration, 81 minutes had passed.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were very dissatisfied with this. The opponent had obviously taken advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the goal and deliberately wasted time.

I don’t know how long the injury time will be given by the referee. If the injury time is very short, there will not be much time left for Manchester City.

Lin Quan recalled what Guardiola had just said and looked up at the position of the Barcelona players opposite.

Barcelona's formation has Messi and Alves on the right, and Neymar and Alba on the left.

Iniesta, Rakitic and Busquets are in the midfield, and there is Suarez on the forward line who is always threatening the goal.

On the back line, Barcelona's two central defenders are Pique and Mascherano.

Pique is responsible for holding back, acting as a sweeper and the ball release point when attacking.

Mascherano's position will be advanced. When defending, he will come to the midfielder position to act as a barrier outside the team's defense.

At this time, Alves and Alba will retract their positions and retract into the penalty area to maintain the integrity of the back line.

Ma has very strong interception and sweeping abilities, and he is very familiar with the position of the defensive midfielder and has no adaptation problems. This has had a great impact on Manchester City's offense.

Speaking of which, this is still due to Guardiola.

It was when he was at Barcelona that he changed Marco Ma from the defensive midfielder position to the central defender.

It's just that Guardiola is trapped in a cocoon!

In general, Barcelona's formation is prepared for offense.

However, on the sidelines, Enrique has already asked Barcelona's substitutes to start warming up.

Maybe it won't be long before he pulls off the offensive players and replaces them with defensive players to keep the score until the end of the game.

If you want to equalize the score as soon as possible, you must win before Barcelona strengthens its defense.

Of course, you can also choose to launch an attack after the opponent has made a substitution and the new players have not yet fully entered the state and formed a tacit understanding with their teammates.

These are the two best opportunities. Once missed, it will be difficult to score Barcelona's goal.

Beep!

As Cakir whistled, Lin Quan quickly knocked the ball to Aguero and then rushed towards Barcelona's half.

Because he posed the greatest threat, Rakitic, Busques and others subconsciously moved closer to Lin Quan's direction.

However, Aguero did not pass the ball to Lin Quan, but passed it back to De Bruyne.

Suarez rushed towards De Bruyne, who continued to pass back to Kroos.

Suarez rushed towards the latter again.

The game has gone on for more than 80 minutes, but Su Ya's physical fitness still seems to be very strong.

When teammates such as Messi and Neymar have slowed down significantly, he can still run at this level.

Cross glanced at the other person, it was just Suarez, he didn't take it to heart yet.

So the ball was passed back to right back Zabaleta.

The Barcelona players and fans on the field were a little confused: What's going on? Aren't you and Manchester City lagging behind?

Why are you kicking back as if you are ahead?

There is not much time left in the game. You are not in a hurry to attack, but you are still passing the ball back. Isn't this a pure waste of time?

Although I don't know what medicine is in Manchester City's gourd, in order to maintain the stability of the formation, Barcelona's players can't help but press forward.

And just as they were moving forward, Zabaleta passed the ball.

He passed the ball to De Bruyne who moved to the right wing. Neymar rushed towards De Bruyne, intending to steal the ball from his feet.

However, as if De Bruyne had eyes on the back of his head, he pulled the ball and turned around, passing Neymar gracefully.

After turning around, before Alba and Iniesta could rush forward, De Bruyne quickly transferred the ball with his big foot.

The football crossed the entire field and came to the other side.

A figure appeared on the flight path of the football, and stopped the ball steadily with ease.

After seeing the number on the person who stopped the ball, Barcelona fans were shocked: How did he end up on the left wing?

The one who caught the ball was none other than Lin Quan!

Because Barcelona mainly attacked the right wing during this period, Alves' position was relatively high.

He chose to rush towards Lin Quan immediately to prevent Lin Quan from starting.

However, Lin Quan didn't seem to have this intention. He took two steps forward, met Alves, and then split the ball directly to David Silva.

David Silva was unguarded at this time. After receiving the ball, he rushed towards Barcelona's half at high speed. The entire Manchester City team sprinted together and launched a massive counterattack against Barcelona.

Aguero even rushed into the penalty area early, already waiting to receive the cross pass from his teammate and waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

Pique blocked Aguero and refused to give him a chance to catch the ball.

Mascherano also moved towards Aguero, preparing to flank him with his teammates.

However, surprisingly, David Silva did not pass the ball to Aguero, but drove the ball towards the penalty area.

Before Alves returned, Pique had to abandon Aguero and step forward to block David Silva.

But just as Pique was leaving Aguero, David Silva passed the ball.

Of course, the ball was not passed to Aguero, because even if Pique left, he still had Mascherano and Alba beside him. He was one against two and it was difficult to take advantage.

But the other person is different!

When David Silva dribbled the ball down, Lin Quan deliberately took a step slowly and did not sprint towards Barcelona's penalty area immediately.

Instead, after Alves, Busquets and others had surpassed him, he suddenly started and rushed towards the only open space at the front of the penalty area at extremely fast speed.

Behind him, when Messi saw Lin Quan suddenly speeding up, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Stop him, don't give him a chance to shoot!"

However, the noise at the scene was so loud that his shouts were drowned in the sound.

Barcelona's players didn't have eyes in the back of their heads, and most of them didn't see Lin Quan rushing up from behind at high speed.

But David Silva saw it, so he knocked the ball back, seemingly to pass it to Busques who was returning to the front of the penalty area.

Busques was stunned. Did the other party make a mistake?

No, it's definitely not a mistake. As a teammate of David Silva's national team, he knows very well how strong this guy is.

Since this was not a mistake, someone must have rushed up from behind!

After Professor Bu thought about this clearly, his first choice was to destroy the ball.

However, before his feet touched the football, he felt a figure speed past him like a whirlwind and took the ball away.

Lin Quan successfully received the ball and broke into the penalty area.

Barcelona fans' hearts were in their throats, and some even closed their eyes in despair.

It’s over!

This time it’s really over!
