Chapter 227
Chapter 227
The referee blew the whistle and the much-watched Champions League semi-final officially began.
Like a battle!
Barca, who lost the guess and kicked off first, directly kicked a long pass from the back, allowing Messi and Neymar to storm the Manchester City penalty area.
This strong sense of discord makes everyone feel like they are watching a Premier League game!
Although it is not that Barca do not have long passes, such a simple and rough kick is really unprecedented.
However, because Manchester City are on guard, at least this opening sneak attack will not be effective.
In particular, Manchester City's defensive formation remains very complete, although Messi and Neymar are fast, but in the absence of space to play speed, it is inevitable to have only a physical confrontation with Manchester City defenders.
At this point, complete defeat!
Barca fans in the stands felt terrible, and it would be too violent to let talented players like Messi and Neymar play the role of central strikers and fight opponents hand-to-hand.
Kolarov carried Messi, grabbed the drop and gave the ball to Nasri in front.
Then Manchester City began to attack!
However, Pellegrini has just told Yaya Toure and Fernandinho not to rush too much.
At least get used to Barca's style of play.
In case Barca have some kind of moth, Manchester City will have to be a little prepared.
Nasri dribbled the ball forward, and the first thing he encountered was Alexander Song's defense, which didn't feel very good!
You know, you can meet the defensive back with the ball on the wing, what is it like?
Nasri did not rush to continue to break through, and then handed the ball to Yaya Toure, who was receiving on the back of the side.
The ball then transitioned to the right and was given to Keylor Navas.
Navas also wanted to break through forward, but found that the first person he faced was Mascherano, and he felt that the whole person was not very good at that time.
You know, defensive midfielders are often the best players on a team to move defensively.
Don't look at the speed of the wingers, but the overall defensive ability is certainly not as good as the defensive back.
Keylor Navas didn't dare to be rude, so he pulled the ball back and passed it back to the backfield.
I don't know why, everyone now has a strong sense of discord.
Including all the fans watching the game, even the players who are playing on the field on both sides.
Manchester City's slow possession of the ball, slow to fall feet without a chance, and even make people drowsy for a long time, this is a typical Barca style of play.
Barça are dead in midfield, fierce and strong, and they will sneak up and fight back when they have the opportunity.
The two teams are really upside down!
As for the result, it really depends on the performance of the two teams.
Observing Barca's defensive position, Xu Ning couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and pulled Dzeko to whisper a few words.
Then Dzeko rushed directly to the Barça penalty area!
This posture makes Barça also have to pay attention to it.
But if that's the case, Barca won't worry too much, after all, their two central defenders are not vegetarian.
How can two against one also eat Zheko.
However, when Xu Ning then began to rush forward, Barça instantly became a big enemy!
How to defend Xu Ning is still the biggest problem!
If you only rely on two central defenders to defend, what is the difference between that and before.
On the three defensive backs, isn't it hoped that they can limit Xu Ning through positions and sweeps!
As a result, the three defenders began to lean back in unison, and there was a certain contraction inward.
At this moment, three defensive backs plus two center backs formed a trapezoidal cage position, directly enclosing Xu Ning in the middle.
Although this box feels like a lot of area, the encirclement is real.
Xu Ning was speechless, his feelings were this idea!
I have to say that Enrique is still very creative!
The five-person reminder station is very targeted and adaptable.
First of all, it is not easy for Xu Ning to catch the ball, after all, five people have a good chance to block a pass from any side.
Even if Xu Ning got the ball, how to break through the encirclement was also a problem.
If Manchester City launch an offensive from another position, one or two of the five men will respond, and the trapezoidal box will become a square or triangle, and the range will still firmly control Xu Ning.
This is much smarter than sending two defensive players to keep an eye on him all the time!
Perhaps the Barça fans in the stands did not see the Barça arrangement and still felt lost, but at this time, people who could understand the game had suddenly realized and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Enrique.
Techniques and tactics in football are certainly not static.
From ancient times to the present, the evolution of tactics has undergone countless changes, rich and diverse, and wonderful!
It's like Barca's pass-and-control style of sweeping the continent before, and for several seasons the European giants did not have a good way.
However, as the tactics against Barça are developed little by little, Barca do not have real dominance.
Since last season, because of Xu Ning's birth, how to defend Xu Ning has become a problem for the giants to solve.
Everyone tried various methods, but it seemed that the effect was not obvious.
Atletico Lima's tactical arrangement against Manchester City some time ago inspired a lot of people.
Although Atletico were ultimately unable to defeat Manchester City, they were still completely won by Manchester City, but that was also an element of immediacy, at least Atletico were considered to be in the right direction.
Enrique borrowed something from Atletico and came up with such an unconventional tactical arrangement.
Seeing Xu Ning falling into the siege and struggling slightly, Enrique couldn't help but show a proud look.
If Barca can really limit Xu Ning well in this game and finally win against Manchester City, he will also be dubbed the honorary title of "Tactical Master"!
Now the world's football is recognized as a master of tactics, all of them have rich experience, flexible use of various technical and tactical systems, coupled with targeted arrangements.
I have every chance to be in this ranks!
Not to mention Luis Enrique's divergent thinking, Manchester City are slow to control the ball on the field, patiently looking for opportunities.
Dzeko kept moving nimbly in the big penalty area, and then stretched his finger upwards.
Kolarov, who received the signal, crossed directly from the left and crossed the ball over the box.
Kolarov's passing is very characteristic, fast and curved, and it is completely a full-moon scimitar version of the cross.
Dzeko carried Puyol to the top.
However, because he was too deeply entangled with Puyol, the first landing was grabbed by Pique and completed the siege.
Zabaleta then tried another cross from the right side, but this time Dzeko forcefully used his physical confrontation against Pique to grab the point and complete the header.
Unfortunately, it was still too straight, and the ball was directly confiscated by Barca goalkeeper Valdés in his arms.
Looking at the time, 10 minutes into the game, Manchester City still do not pose a real threat to the Barca goal.
In the past, this was actually very rare!
All the Manchester City fans in the stands had begun to clamor and shout Xu Ning's name.
They are looking forward to the appearance of Superman!
