394: The Champions League champion fell into a passive position at the beginning

Looking at Barcelona's starting lineup in the stadium, Tong Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Guardiola on the other side.

Guardiola obviously made special arrangements for this game, because Pique sat on the bench, allowing Abidal, who played as a full-back, to move to the central defender position.

What is the intention?

Guardiola was obviously targeting the high pressure of Munich 1860.

He knew that under the high pressure defense of Munich 1860, the space for midfielders to hold the ball and pass the ball would be very small. Even masters like Xavi and Iniesta would have difficulty holding the ball and passing the ball. This is Munich 1860. The power of high pressure.

Guardiola has studied the Munich 1860 game video with great concentration.

Munich 1860 relied on this method to defeat Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Porto. Moreover, the Porto team also pressed and defended at a high position, but Munich 1860 defeated them, which shows that Munich 1860's high position pressing was more powerful than the Porto people.

So, he had to make adjustments.

Abidal came to the central defender position, naturally to strengthen the defensive line's ability to control the ball and pass the ball.

Sometimes Abidal will even move up to the midfielder position, allowing Iniesta to return to the center back position and return to the defense to control the ball and organize the attack.

Otherwise, why would Iniesta appear in the defensive midfielder position instead of Keita?

Keita's defense is obviously stronger than Iniesta's, and Keita's defense protection is countless times better than Iniesta's.

However, Guardiola just let Keita go to the wing and Iniesta appeared in the midfielder position.

Obviously, it is aimed at the high pressure of Munich 1860.

In addition, Valdez also has the ability to control the ball with his feet.

Therefore, Barcelona's ability to control the ball and pass in the penalty area with this lineup is very good.

This will cause a lot of trouble for Munich 1860.

However, Tong Yi was not worried or anxious.

Because their high-position oppression is holistic, not between one or two people. Even if Barcelona's ball control and passing are very good, it will be very difficult to play.

Munich 1860's high-position pressing starts from the front line. The crazy pressing of Costa and Griezmann was also developed in these two seasons, like two fierce lions.

Especially Costa.

This will definitely leave a very deep impression on Barcelona people.

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona took the lead in attacking. Obviously they are still playing according to their classic tactics, emphasizing ball control and passing. The football is more often played in their own half, and they still emphasize ball control.

However, the players of Munich 1860 were like a pack of hungry wolves, crazily pressing past the half-court and pounced on the football like prey.
