One Hundred And Sixtieth Chapters, Attack Instead Of Defense
Liverpool's offensive will be very fierce after the start of the game.
The Barcelona players are very aware of this, because the head coach Guardiola has repeatedly told them.
So they were not surprised when Liverpool attacked their goal at the start of the game.
Although this offensive is particularly violent. They didn't care either.
For Liverpool's opening onslaught, Barcelona's countermeasures are not like other teams retreating back to defend.
First of all, in terms of Barcelona's team temperament, they are completely unacceptable to defend so stubbornly in front of a deadly enemy.
Because it's so embarrassing...
Secondly, even if they are asked to defend to the death, they will not be able to defend well.
Because they have never practiced this tactic at all.
Barcelona's DNA is attacking, not defending.
Although their defense is good, it does not mean that they are good at defense, especially long-term defense.
It is undoubtedly very unwise for Barcelona to choose to defend in the face of Liverpool's fierce offensive.
Give up what you are best at, but choose what you are least good at.
This kind of mistake may be made by the coaches of other teams, but Guardiola will not.
His strategy for Barcelona was to use possession to counter Liverpool's attack.
When many people hear the ball, the first thing they think of is offense.
In fact, possession of the ball is also a means of defense.
When you always firmly control the football at your feet, and the opponent can't grab the ball at all, how can you launch an attack?
So as long as you can keep possession of the ball for most of the game, you can keep your defense away from danger.
This is Barcelona's defense.
In fact, this is not just a strategy against Liverpool 980. At any time, facing any opponent "Barcelona is like this.
It is difficult for you to see them shrink within their own 30-meter zone, and then let the opponent's players pass back and forth outside.
They always try to have the ball from the first minute of the game, from the front, to the midfield, to the back, they have a lot of control.
At the same time, because of such a strong ability to control the ball, Barcelona will not shrink the defense.
Therefore, they need a goalkeeper with a large defensive area, a large activity area, and a wide range of control. Reina, who has better goal-line skills, was abandoned by Barcelona, and chose Balder, who is not very good in technology and not very stable. s.
Although Valdes often made all kinds of inexplicable mistakes, it has to be said that he is the most suitable goalkeeper for Barcelona. Because many times, the role played by Valdes is not only a goalkeeper, but also a sweeper.
This is Barcelona's most accustomed defensive strategy.
They naturally used this set to deal with Liverpool.
In the view of Guardiola, this is enough to deal with Liverpool's indiscriminate bombing.
Because as long as the football has a chance to fall to Barcelona's (adbg) side, Liverpool's offensive will be unsustainable.
The initiative will fall in the hands of Barcelona.
Barcelona will not wait for Liverpool to score a goal like other teams, or automatically cancel the offensive when the time is up.
They want to regain the possession of the ball, and then turn to the guest, and then completely bury Liverpool!
Ola wants to be caught by surprise, no team has ever done this before facing Liverpool, that is going against the trend!
So Liverpool would never have imagined that Barcelona would be able to organize an attack under their fierce offensive
At that time, they will be caught off guard. As long as one goal is advanced, the initiative of this game will fall into the hands of Barcelona.
How about it?
Are you being led by the nose by us?
Liverpool's first offensive was launched with the opportunity of kick-off.
But it did not pose any threat to Barcelona's goal.
It looked like a normal attack.
Barcelona opened the goal kick, and Valdez did not directly kick, but passed it to the central defender Pique in front of him.
Pique will pass the football up layer by layer.
In fact, Barcelona's goal kick is also kicking big, but in this and that game, Guardiola specifically told Valdez not to kick if he can't.
Try to let the football roll against the turf so that they can always keep the football under their feet.
What if you let the football fly in the air?
The tallest players in Barcelona are Butzkes and Pique.
Goalkeeper Valdez is only 1.83 meters.
Everyone knows that Liverpool has an advantage in competing for high balls. Their defense is tall, but their turning speed is slow. This is a good opportunity for Barcelona to give full play to its small and quick spirit.
As long as you can keep the football under your feet...
No one is afraid of Barcelona!
Barcelona began to advance layer by layer.
But they encountered huge resistance in the midfield.
Liverpool did not retreat directly to the front of the penalty area as usual, but launched a crazy siege in the midfield.
In order not to give Barcelona any excuses, Liverpool didn't even want the "defense" in the defensive counterattack.
In this way, when Barcelona finally lost the game, I believe they no longer have any excuses.
For Barcelona, this is also a surprise.
Liverpool's approach made them a little unexpected.
Because of lack of sufficient mental preparation, when Butzkes got the ball in the backcourt and wanted to pass forward, he was caught by Su Han and Modric.
Even Su Han ran back to assist the defense, which shows Liverpool's determination in this game.
Butzkes was ill-prepared, and his pass was misunderstood by Su Han and Modric.
He originally planned to pass to Alaba in front of the side, but he didn't expect the final pass to deviate from the target.
The football flew straight out of the baseline, giving Liverpool a penalty in the frontcourt.
The ball has returned to Liverpool's feet.
A throw-in was thrown and Liverpool reorganized their attack.
Of course, this attack eventually formed a shot, but it did not pose any threat to Valdez's goal.
Everything looked like any normal game.
Except for that pressing
Of course, this might just be an accident.
The football was quickly passed to Butzkes.
This time, Butzquez passed the ball immediately, and the football passed to the feet of Iniesta who came back to meet him.
Almost at the same time, two Liverpool players appeared beside Iniesta.
Of course, with Iniesta's outstanding footwork, it is not difficult to get rid of these two Liverpool players.
But after he got rid of it, he found that it was not that simple-he soon fell into the defense of Liverpool players.
This time there was only one person, but it was the most difficult one... Kanter.
Kanter has a tough style. Although he is not tall, he has a large coverage area, fast recovery speed, and very precise and decisive steals. It is really suitable for dealing with the technical players of China and Serona!
Once he is entangled, it is not easy to get rid of...
While Kante was entangled with Iniesta, the two Liverpool players ran back quickly.
In this way, Liverpool's defense did not have any loopholes because of this pressing.
At the same time they were able to keep the pressure on Barcelona's attack.
Although Iniesta was able to control the ball under Kanter's pressure, it was difficult for him to send the football.
Messi was originally in the frontcourt, but when he saw what was going on behind him, he had no choice but to retreat to meet his teammates.
With Messi's retreat, other Barcelona players had to follow suit.
Because Barcelona has high requirements on the whole, their passing requires players to keep a distance of 15 meters between players, or even shorter, so that they can pass the ball on the ground.
This distance is the most accurate pass, and it is also the easiest to tear the opponent's defense.
Messi is the core of the team, he retreats, then with him as the center, others must follow and retreat if they want to keep a distance from Messi.
In this way, Barcelona is far away from Liverpool's goal...
This is actually the real purpose of Liverpool's offense instead of defense.
Compress Barcelona in a very narrow area, keep them away from their goal, and then as long as they steal the ball, they can launch an offensive at the place closest to Barcelona's goal.
If Barcelona wants to attack by force, the formation will be torn apart, and there will be a lot of gaps, which is just in line with the appetite of Liverpool, who are going to play against Barcelona. .
