Ball king grower

Although they know that the possibility of advancing to the Champions League final is slim, Barcelona will not give up easily. Lippi knows this, and so do the players of Real Madrid.

Back then, they lost to AC Milan by a huge score on the road, but they still made a comeback at home to advance. This is the strength of this team.

Of course, Lippi will not be afraid of Barcelona!

"Barcelona is undoubtedly a strong team, and it is a strong team that refuses to admit defeat!" Lippi looked at the players below with firm eyes and said: "But we are stronger and we have the strength to defeat them! We can do it on the road, but we can do it at home.

Even better!"

"I think there is no need to say more about tactics. In the last round, we focused on Lin Yu's header attack. In this round, of course we have to use it as a weapon. After all, height is always the key to Barcelona."

Weaknesses, but you have to remember that the situation in the game is ever-changing, and don't be too rigid. If you can pass a beautiful ground ball, then give it to the ground ball. Details of your teammates, I believe our shooter Lin Yu, he will

Convert the pass into a goal!" Lippi smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of anything, just overwhelm Barcelona as usual. Although many teams use bus tactics to beat Barcelona, ​​we don't need to, we have to attack.

Suppress them! Make their attack non-threatening! Do you understand?"

"oh--!"

…

At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Barcelona players were suffering from the noise. They were wondering why the Bernabeu Stadium was not so noisy in the past, and why today's Real Madrid fans are shouting like crazy.

.

This kind of noise makes many players upset.

Fortunately, Barcelona is a team that pays attention to cooperation. After they get on the field, they have already made arrangements for what to do, and there is no need to say more in the locker room.

Martino is thinking about what to say to his players. How to inspire the players' fighting spirit. After all, Barcelona lost to Real Madrid at home in the last round of the game. This has a huge impact on the morale of the entire Barcelona team.

After a blow, he had to find ways to save it.

On the other hand, Barcelona players are eager for revenge and may underestimate the enemy and advance rashly like last time, eventually leading to failure. Martino must also take this matter into consideration.

"Real Madrid is very strong. I believe you will not deny this, and there is no need to be unconvinced! In the last round of the game, we had no advantage on the field and lost the final game! This is not a shame, but a trick played by a master.

At that time, we made the wrong move and we didn’t try our best to win!”

"In today's game, I know you want to take revenge, but you must stay calm and not be provoked by the opponent's fans or players and do some irrational behavior!"

"While keeping calm, we will try our best to win this game. No matter how many games we have lost before, as long as we can reverse and advance in this game, then we will not lose! Do you understand?"

The players all nodded. In fact, Martino didn't need to say anything about this game. Barcelona's players also knew they couldn't lose. Even if they ended up in a draw and were eliminated, they would never lose. If they lose again, it would really be unjustifiable.

Not only would he not be able to meet the Catalan fans, he would also be ridiculed by the media.

They have not forgotten the painful lesson of being defeated 7:0 by Bayern Munich in two rounds of the Champions League. After that battle, the media kicked them off the world's number one throne and went to curry favor with Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich

Lifted to the sky.

They are unhappy, very unhappy, but what can they do? All the losers can do is just paint the background of the winners.

After all, Bayern Munich is a Bundesliga team. It's a little better, but if they are beaten by Real Madrid in the league and the Champions League, they will really be in ruins.

In the past, they ridiculed Real Madrid for not being like a wealthy club and not having a record of being a wealthy club, so they were even more worried about encountering the same fate.

…

Barcelona's tactical system has not changed for more than 20 years. It is definitely not easy, and it can be said to be very scary. It is this kind of perseverance that allowed their team to win the league championship even in the most difficult times, so

Their combat effectiveness is actually beyond doubt.

So does this mean that Barcelona will definitely not be suppressed?

That's not necessarily the case. The brand-new Galacticos have already launched a challenge to Barcelona, ​​and this season, they have completely suppressed Barcelona in every arena.

In today's game, from the first minute, Real Madrid showed a strong desire to win and completely stunned Barcelona.

Real Madrid is playing very actively. In terms of offense, although Cristiano Ronaldo is missing, Di Maria is working hard to make up for this shortcoming, making Real Madrid's offense very impressive.

Defensively, Real Madrid chose to retreat with almost all members. They could advance or retreat, and almost all members were involved in the process. This is a bit like Dortmund's tactics. Dortmund back then, with Lin Yu, relied on

With such desperate tactics, he defeated the powerful Bayern Munich and ended Munich's dream of winning two consecutive Champions League titles.

Today, the same tactics also have Lin Yu, and this Lin Yu is more powerful than the Lin Yu of the past, but Barcelona is not as powerful as Bayern Munich at that time, so judging from the scene, Barcelona seems to be weak whether it is offensive or defensive.

Falling into Dortmund's rhythm.

There is a feeling in Barcelona today, as if no matter where we go, there will always be more players from Real Madrid than from Barcelona.

This is not an illusion. It is precisely because Real Madrid players are more willing to run that they can always occupy a regional numerical advantage.

If it's defense vs. offense, it's really difficult to prevent Barcelona's offense. Barcelona is very good at disrupting the opponent's defense through reverse kicks or dribblings, and then finding even the slightest flaw can turn it into offense or even advance.

Ball opportunity.

It is really difficult to do that. Even Mourinho, who was good at defense in the past, also suffered losses under such tactics.

So Lippi now sees clearly that he does not want to be in a defensive posture, he wants to fight attack with attack.

Yes, there are flaws in my defense. If you have the ability, you can attack. As long as you dare to attack, we will dare to counterattack. And from an offensive point of view, Real Madrid already has the advantage. Barcelona even has the advantage of kicking and dribbling.

There is no time, they are like separated chess pieces. If they can't cooperate, they can only fight alone.

Aren't you very good at cooperation? Then I will destroy your cooperation, so that you have no time to make moves, and you will always be in a passive defensive situation! In this way, even if I make a mistake or flaw in my defense, you

Don't even think about catching it easily.

Of course. Such a tactic requires very high physical strength. Players must maintain sufficient physical strength to be able to execute this tactic from beginning to end.

Therefore, when playing against Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Lippi arranged most of the substitute lineup in order to prevent excessive physical exertion and poor tactical execution.

Double matches in a week consume a lot of players' physical strength. Except for Lin Yu, no one can persevere.

Lippi's approach has certainly paid off. Judging from the opening period, Real Madrid has really suppressed Barcelona steadily. This is the advantage of physical strength and tactics.

If you add in the deafening shouts of so many Real Madrid fans at the scene, the pressure on Barcelona is not just a little bit, but a huge pressure that can directly crush them!

…

Martino stood on the sidelines. He was walking back and forth as if he had ADHD, his face was ashen, and he looked very unhappy.

Yes, why is he so happy? In the first half of the day, Barcelona's situation was very bad, and they were almost led by Real Madrid. There was no hope at all.

The game had been going on for seven or eight minutes, and Barcelona had only had a shot, and this shot was a long-range shot by Messi out of desperation, and the result was an anti-aircraft cannon. There was no threat at all.

It's not that he can't understand Messi's anxiety. In the past, the team chose to cooperate cautiously and offend each other. They would rather slow down the pace a little and must find a good opportunity before launching an attack. But today they simply don't have that many

free time, because their ball possession rate is once again not as good as Real Madrid's, and it is even more serious today than in the last round of away games.

So far, Real Madrid's ball possession rate has reached 64%, while Barcelona's is only a pitiful 36%. This is not like Barcelona playing against Real Madrid, but like Real Madrid meeting Levante, and the performance is not good.

The best Levante.

Because the color of Levante's jersey is very similar to Barcelona, ​​when these two teams play, if Real Madrid does not perform well, some fans say that Real Madrid is afraid of that jersey and puts Levante on the spot.

But today, no matter how you look at Barcelona, ​​it looks like a tragic Levante.

Martino is thinking about how to solve this passive situation. He must come up with a solution as soon as possible. Although this game only lasts ninety minutes, as long as Real Madrid scores a goal, the possibility of their reversal will be small.

A lot, after all, they lost to Real Madrid at home.

He tried his best to calm down, then walked back to his seat, rubbed his temples with his hands, and lowered his head to think about it. He was worried that his thoughts would be disrupted again when he watched the game.

…

Anyone watching this game will find that Lin Yu's condition today is so good that it is unbelievable. With several of his shots, he alone put more pressure on Barcelona's defense than even more.

Remove the pressure from all players on other teams.

Lin Yu also knows that he is in good condition because he has to work hard to improve as well as Cristiano Ronaldo.

He is eager to score goals now. No matter how good his condition is, he must score in the end to prove it. If you can't score, then even if the media hypes you up and you think you are in excellent condition, it doesn't mean anything.

Now that the team has the advantage, he should seize this opportunity to score goals, because it is easiest to score goals at this time.

In this game, Martino still used a special person to defend Lin Yu. In addition to Pique, he also ordered Butzquez to assist. Moreover, the person who started with Pique today was not Mascherano, but Barcelona.

The old captain Puyol.

Martino feels that to defend a player like Lin Yu, you cannot just have the body and strength. You must have rich defensive experience.

And Puyol did a pretty good job today. He didn't have to think about anything. He simply relied on the experience and intuition of defenders for so many years to resolve several shots from Lin Yu. Don't look at those shots. It was Bal who saved the ball.

Des, but without Puyol's guidance, Valdes may not be able to do it.

Puyol is like the commander of Barcelona's defense, as if the leaderless group suddenly has a leader and is obviously playing more reliably than before.

Pique, who was completely beaten by Lin Yu in the last round, did not dare to be arrogant today. He carefully followed Puyol's advice and defended Lin Yu. Although he still gave Lin Yu a chance to shoot, he

I found that today’s defensive effect is obviously much better than before. (To be continued...)
