Chapter 161, The First One!
Five minutes into the game, the Barcelona players and fans suddenly discovered a problem - in these five minutes, Liverpool had two shots, but they didn't even have a goal!
is this normal
It's normal not to have a shot in five minutes.
But in the past five minutes, their opponents had two shots, but they didn't have a single shot. That's not normal.
And it's not just that it's not as simple as even a shot, Barcelona even scored the 30-meter zone of Liverpool more times...
Not once!
This is even more abnormal!
With Barcelona's powerful attack power, they couldn't even enter the opponent's 30-meter area!
Combining these abnormalities, the game became faintly abnormal.
Guardiola was the first to spot the problem.
This kind of active frontcourt pressing of Liverpool has never appeared before.
Even at the beginning of the game, they need to bombard indiscriminately to score goals. When defending, this is not the case. They will shrink to their own 30-meter area in one breath, and then organize the defense line there.
No matter how the opponent attacks, first of all, ensure that your defense line will not be messed up, and the players will not lose their position when defending.
But now the situation is that Liverpool's defense is more active than before, even... aggressive!
They can't wait to rush around Barcelona's penalty area, so that they can't even get out of the penalty area is the best.
Liverpool's performance in this game was abnormal. If Guardiola can't see this, he is not worthy of being a qualified head coach.
But what about looking?
He also has to think why would Liverpool do this?
In doing so, there will be a huge space behind Liverpool, as long as Barcelona can penetrate once, Liverpool's goal will be in danger.
The stakes are high for them to do so, why would they still do it?
Then he noticed the stats for the opening five minutes.
Liverpool attack a lot.
A thought popped up in his mind.
Are Liverpool going to play us at home?
As soon as this idea popped up, he was taken aback.
His first reaction was disbelief.
But then he thought about what Su Han said before the game.
"We're going to take Barcelona out of the first leg!"
Is this the solution for you Liverpool?
After thinking it over, Guardiola showed a disdainful smile on his face.
In his opinion, it is naive for Liverpool to use this method to completely solve Barcelona!
But if this is the case......
It's easy, let's attack!
Let's see who is stronger!
Thinking of this, he didn't get up, but continued to sit on the coach's bench.
He has nothing to worry about, he just needs to watch Bi Yao.
The game will naturally develop in the direction that favors Barcelona.
Guardiola, who was sitting on the coach's bench, felt relieved.
He didn't know that he missed an opportunity, an opportunity that could have saved his and his team's fate.
Five minutes later, the game was still Liverpool attacking and Barcelona wanting to attack.
After entering the second five minutes, Liverpool's offensive has not diminished at all, and their defense is also pressing forward as always, launching a crazy press in the midfield.
Guardiola's performance is very calm.
But the Barcelona players on the field are very uncomfortable with Liverpool's defense.
They made consecutive mistakes under the pressure of Liverpool.
Only Messi is a bright spot.
His dribbling is still sharp.
Just because he is far away from the goal, his dribbling distance has also increased, so that his final chance of successful dribbling has also decreased.
On the other hand, Liverpool's offense is in full swing.
Even if there is no final shot, it can give people a feeling that "Liverpool has faintly gained the upper hand".
They can't say why they feel this way, it's just how they feel.
Their feelings are not supported by theory, but the facts exist.
Liverpool really crushed Barcelona!
The Liverpool fans in the stands were delighted to see this scene—this proves that Liverpool is already the number one team in the world!
Barcelona is not our opponent either!
But it's not just these things that make them happy...
A head coach with high tactical ability always has such a psychological misunderstanding-thinking that tactics can solve all problems.
As long as your own tactics can restrain the opponent's tactics, then the victory of the game will belong to you.
They sometimes ignore the fact that there are many factors that determine the outcome of a game, and subtle tactics are only one of them.
Collectivism is certainly worth advocating, but the brilliance of individual heroism cannot be erased and ignored by anyone.
It may be an insignificant little person who changes history, or it may be a flash of inspiration from a star that becomes the turning point of the game.
And these two teams actually have no shortage of people with this ability.
Liverpool passed the football back and forth in front of Barcelona's big penalty area through the passing organization, looking for opportunities.
This is different from their straightforward style of play. Barcelona fans who don't care about Liverpool will find this Liverpool team very strange, and some people even think that Liverpool is imitating others and learning from Barcelona.
What kind of good can this kind of hacking behavior get?
What they don't know is that with Modric, this is often the case with Liverpool. After all, they can't just rely on long passes from the backcourt to quickly counterattack the world.
As their strength increases, they will also face many teams that shrink back and defend. At this time, positional warfare is also an ability that Liverpool must master.
Modric's transfer to join is also because of Ancelotti's request.
In constant lateral passing, Liverpool was patiently looking for loopholes in Barcelona's defense.
In the face of such an attack, Barcelona seems to be able to handle it with ease, and it is very patient in dealing with Liverpool.
No matter where the football is, as long as their own defensive position is not messed up, then Liverpool can't find a chance.
So the football was passed back and forth a few times, and it was passed back several times.
0…ask for flowers……
Pique suddenly felt that something was wrong.
What exactly is wrong?
In order to prevent Liverpool crosses from the wide, look for Su Han, they are strictly guarding against crosses from the wide.
In this way, the path of Liverpool's cross was blocked.
Let them only pass from the side to the center, and then from the center to the side.
It stands to reason that this defense was successful, Liverpool can only go from the middle.
If you go in the middle, Su Dian will be double-teamed by key points......
By the way, Su Han!
where is that bloody bastard
At the thought of Su Han's name, the Barcelona centre-back scurries around.
He didn't see Su Han by his side.
Going further, he didn't even see Su Han in the penalty area!
Suddenly cold sweat climbed up his forehead.
In his own penalty area, he did not find Su Han, does that not explain the problem?
This shows that the problem is serious!
As a central defender, he lost his defensive goal!
In a panic, he cast his gaze outside the restricted area.
0
The frontier of the penalty area, the top of the free throw arc, no!
He glanced to the right again, still nothing!
Et...
He saw Su Han.
Right on the corner of the penalty area, on the outermost line of Barcelona's defense.
As for when he appeared there, no one knows at all.
And it seems that the Barcelona players didn't notice him at the first time...
Pique's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
He opened his mouth to remind his teammates.
Just at this time.
Modric passes the ball.
Without passing to anyone else, the football fell directly to Su Han's feet.
At this time, the other Barcelona players realized that Su Han was no longer in the penalty area...
But when did he get here?
Many people are puzzled.
At this time, I can't care less about finding the answer to this question.
A group of people swarmed towards Su Han.
Center backs, full backs, midfielders, wingers...
Pounced on him from four directions.
Among them, the right back Alves is on the route that Su Han wants to go forward. As long as Su Han wades the football over, he will fall into the trap himself.
And Pique rushed forward when he found Su Han, intending to block Su Han's shooting angle, and also planned to block Su Han's breakthrough with Alves.
But Su Han didn't take the ball forward. After he stopped the football, he swung his left leg directly on the spot.
Follow up with a shot!
His left foot was like the end of a whip, and he quickly hit the football.
bang.
The football sticks to the turf and quickly drills towards the goal... the near corner!
Su Han chose a shot timing that no one thought of, and also chose a shot angle that no one thought of!
Straight to the foot, straight to the near corner!
Football slipped between Pique and Alves.
Goalkeeper Valdez's reaction was obviously a bit slower - because he didn't expect Su Han's shot to be so sudden!
He fell to the ground, but it was too late.
The football sprinted past him.
Then he wiped the post and plunged into the net...
The ball... the ball went into the dirt!.
