I don't just score goals

Barcelona visits the city of Naples.

Set off a football frenzy in the city.

The focus of European football is here.

What kind of sparks will arise when the defending champion Napoli meets Cosmos Barcelona?

Barcelona, ​​which dominates La Liga, has performed almost perfectly and is considered the favorite to win the Champions League this season!

Mazzarri has studied Barcelona thoroughly, especially their failures in the Champions League over the past few years.

Eliminated by Inter Milan in 2010.

Eliminated by Chelsea in 2012.

Barcelona lost to opponents with a similar style.

The content of the competition also has overlapping parts.

Both Inter Milan and Chelsea used strict and tough defense to delay, destroy and contain Barcelona's mercury-like offensive.

There is also the passing control that always tortures the opponent.

For this reason, Mazzarri made new technical and tactical requirements and adjustments to the team.

The showdown between Hao Qiang and Messi has become a hotly discussed topic.

It seems that who is stronger will soon be decided in the Champions League semi-finals.

April 24th.

St Paul's Stadium.

The Champions League logo covered the stadium before the game, and Naples fans in the stands also displayed huge tifos to welcome Barcelona.

A huge portrait is shocking.

If you look carefully, the portrait looks a bit like Hao Qiang!

What's outrageous is that there is a halo behind the head!

Perhaps Naples is saying they have "God".

But it can also be misunderstood as Hao Qiang ascending to heaven on the spot!

The starting players of both teams made their debut.

The noise in the stadium became even more shocking.

The players from both sides looked serious, and the tense atmosphere before the battle made the stadium seem filled with murderous intent.

Napoli started 352.

Goalkeeper: De Sanctis.

Defenders: Aronica, Cannavaro, Campanaro.

Midfielder: Maggio, Gargano, Inle, Behrami, Zuniga.

Forwards: Hao Qiang, Cavani.

Barcelona started 433.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Bartra, Alba.

Midfielder: Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta.

Forwards: Sanchez, Messi, Pedro.

Barcelona coach Vilanova stood on the sidelines, calm and confident.

With Barcelona's performance in the league this season, eight blocks away from Real Madrid, they seem to be close to the triple crown in five years.

As the defending champion, Naples seems to have nothing to fear except Hao Qiang!

Eight months ago, when Hao Qiang said in an interview that his goal goal this season was to surpass Messi, Messi's response was quite mild.

The season has reached its final stage, and Messi is still far behind Hao Qiang in the competition for the European Golden Boot.

This made the Catalan media ridicule Hao Qiang: Let alone surpassing, you have no hope of catching up with Messi!

Messi's die-hard fans also added insult to injury: Hao Qiang wants to surpass Messi? There is only one chance, go and be reincarnated!

If there is no encounter in the Champions League.

Hao Qiang will definitely lose the competition with Messi this season.

But now that he had the opportunity to talk directly, Hao Qiang couldn't ask for it!

Messi is still calm, gentle and calm.

Hao Qiang, on the other hand, was serious, focused and full of fighting spirit.

The game begins.

Barcelona quickly resorted to its special passing and controlling style.

Iniesta, Xavi, and Busquets skillfully cooperated with each other in passing, controlled the rhythm, and mobilized the offensive power from the wing.

Even the central defender is involved in passing the ball.

This makes it easy for most teams to be defeated one by one by Barcelona once they want to launch a counterattack in the frontcourt.

Therefore, when facing Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Barcelona in the Champions League, they concentrated their forces on key areas of defense, squeezing the offensive space to the maximum, giving up possession of the ball, posing for Barcelona to attack, and then patiently waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

As the defending champion, Naples would feel too unambitious if they followed the example of Chelsea and Inter Milan.

Mazzarri was not led by his opponents in terms of personnel usage and formation.

Otherwise, Cavani and Hao Qiang can only play one.

He still retains Naples' own style and hopes to develop his own characteristics.

Although Naples' formation has shrunk, its defense is not full of energy.

Hao Qiang and Cavani actively pressed behind the center circle, and the Naples midfielder also played a tough tone.

As a pseudo-center, Messi is actually more like a free man in the frontcourt.

Pedro and Sanchez, the former has perfect tactical qualities, but average personal ability, while Sanchez has better personal ability, but still lacks the ability to integrate into Barcelona's passing and controlling technical and tactical system.

In fact, there is only one person who can play as he pleases in Barcelona, ​​and that is their true god, Messi.

Everyone else must do auxiliary work.

If someone is unwilling or unable to do a good job of assisting, they will be kicked out.

Since the rise of Meng San, how many outstanding forwards have been voluntarily given up by Barcelona?

Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, including David Villa who is currently on the bench.

It's not that the players are bad, it's that the fit between the players and the technical and tactical system is insufficient.

If it's more straightforward, the players who partner with Messi must be able to go all out to create opportunities for Messi so that Messi's value can be maximized.

Viewed alone, it is easy to mistakenly think how domineering Messi is.

But in fact, this is the most basic idea for every team to build a team.

Just like when Ruud van Nistelrooy had a conflict with Ronaldo, Ferguson decided that Ronaldo was the core, and Ruud van Nistelrooy was kicked out.

When Hao Qiang and Ravitch had a conflict, Ravitch walked away.

Similar stories happen every season among top league teams.

It's just that when something similar happens to a bigger star, it's more likely to cause controversy.

In fact, from the perspective of the club and team, this is a basic operation.

There are not too many personal grudges and disputes of temper.

Everything is for the team to maximize its combat effectiveness.

Barcelona will play very proactively no matter home or away.

They survive by keeping the ball.

Therefore, unlike traditional teams, they are strong at home and pragmatic on the road.

No matter where Barcelona go, they will prioritize possession of the ball.

When he was at his strongest, he often massacred wealthy and powerful teams.

After Naples' 352 system shrinks the defense, Barcelona's threatening offensive becomes more difficult, requiring more creativity and super high tacit understanding.

Sanchez hit a long shot, and Pedro gave Messi the ball. The latter controlled the ball and moved around under Naples' tight defense. After finding space, he took a shot and was saved by De Sanctis.

Naples felt the pressure from the start.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hao Qiang decisively opened the system and used the legendary card, Tigana!

He retreated further and Cavani stepped forward.

When Hao Qiang tirelessly began to sweep away Barcelona's midfield, forcing Barcelona's offense to go more to the wings, the passing and controlling role of the midfield was suppressed to a certain extent.

Alba and Alves frequently crossed from both wings.

Barcelona's shortcomings of lack of high center forwards were exposed.

You can't expect Messi, Pedro, Sanchez and others to compete for high-altitude balls, right?

Frequent diagonal through balls also failed to pose a threat under the control of Naples' three central defender system.

Naples' offense is simple and bright.

Cavani tends to be soft in tough battles, which was also proven last season.

In the first 20 minutes of today's match against Barcelona, ​​Cavani repeatedly charged forward.

Hao Qiang and Yinle gave him the opportunity to provide support from behind.

Cavani missed both of his shots.

Napoli fans are excited.

But he couldn't bear to complain about Cavani.

After all, they are all Naples legends.

Barcelona are still looking for the right position to open up Napoli's defense.

But as the game progressed, Naples got better and better.

I got used to the rhythm and understood Barcelona's passing and control system.

Barcelona's offensive creation tends to be arbitrary.

When the environment and situation are right, a wonderful pass or a strong breakthrough will naturally occur.

But they are also a little uncomfortable today.

Naples deployed troops in the midfield, and confrontation and interception became increasingly tough.

Once Naples has a rough idea of ​​their opponent's technical and tactical system, they will react faster.

Naples' tough confrontation and decisive and concise fast breaks began to become more efficient.

Hao Qiang's performance made the Barcelona generals lower their vigilance early.

Because he organizes the offense in the midfield and backfield for defense and transition between offense and defense.

Hao Qiang seems to lack the threat to the goal.

In the 32nd minute of the game, when Hao Qiang and Behrami hit the wall in the middle of the backcourt to cooperate.

Harvey came up and tried to foul him, but Hao Qiang protected the ball very steadily and remained motionless.

There was no sudden advance, so he protected the ball and adjusted his direction to pass the ball to the right.

Macho began to lunge forward.

Today, Naples' two wing positions immediately became full-backs after the opening game!

In Mazzarri's tactical arrangement, it seems to be 352 today, but in fact it is 532 most of the time.

Hao Qiang's retracement brought them to 541.

But when the opportunity is right, they will become 442!

One person in the wing position rushes forward and one person stays behind.

Linked in turns.

Maggio made it through the half and was intercepted head-on by Alba.

Alba had no time to retreat and could not retreat anymore.

Maggio quickly cooperated with Inle who ran to meet him from the middle and hit the wall.

Rush past Alba and continue to take the outside line towards the bottom line.

When he advanced the ball all the way, Cavani burst into the middle and led Pique and Bartra to retreat.

Inler's advance also attracted Busquets.

Maggio controlled the ball in front of the baseline, adjusted and then delivered the cross.

Pique watched the curve ball fall towards the back of the penalty area. When he turned around, the scene that came into view made him feel like he was seeing a ghost!

Hao, Hao Qiang!

Hao Qiang stopped the ball perfectly without any delay.

When he moved the ball with his right foot to shoot, Pique immediately stepped forward to block it.

Since the distance was far, he rushed hard.

But the moment he rushed forward, he saw Hao Qiang dunk the ball past him!

After passing Pique, Hao Qiang moved the ball across and readjusted his steps.

Followed by a right foot blast!

The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball!

Hao Qiang penetrated the near corner, but goalkeeper Valdez made a save and was unable to save the situation!

The cheers from the St. Paul Stadium soared into the sky!

Hao Qiang ran wildly to the sidelines and knelt down passionately in a scene that looked like the earth was shaking!

His expression is extremely determined, his eyes are sharp, and his aura is domineering!

There is one thing you may not have heard of before coming to Barcelona.

There really is a God in Naples!

At this moment, countless Naples fans are worshiping him!
