Chapter 396 You have Messi, I have Lin Huang!

"Interesting!"

In the stands, Klopp's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the effect of Manchester City's restriction on Barcelona.

Guardiola really has something. The positioning of Manchester City players on the field is absolutely very important. Barcelona's offensive space is severely restricted and they can hardly find any opportunities to take advantage of.

Klopp couldn't help but put himself into the role of Barcelona coach, thinking about how he would break Manchester City's defense if he were Enrique.

However, due to the short time and the fact that Guardiola's tactical arrangements were not fully understood, it was difficult to find a solution to the problem for the time being.

Thinking of this, Klopp made up his mind.

Just go to the Premier League! The Premier League has top coaches like Guardiola. Being able to play against such top coaches will be of great help in improving your own strength.

On the other hand, Bayern head coach Heynckes also showed a strong interest in Guardiola's defensive tactics.

"Guardiola rationally allocated the number of players in each area and strengthened the defense of the front area of ​​his own penalty area, that is, the fifth zone, to prevent Barcelona from scoring the ball in this area.

As a result, although Barcelona had the upper hand in ball possession and number of passes, they were unable to form an effective attack and their time utilization efficiency was greatly reduced. ”

The passing and controlling style of play that Guardiola pioneered at Barcelona in his early years has been studied many times by the world, and the core of this tactic has been figured out.

The core of passing and controlling football is to control the ball under your feet, increase your own offensive rounds and reduce the opponent's offensive rounds.

In this way, the difference in the number of shots between the two sides will be very large. With more shots, the number of goals will also increase, while the opponent will have fewer shooting opportunities, so it will naturally be difficult to defeat Barcelona.

Unless their offensive efficiency is extremely high and they can seize the limited offensive opportunities and hit the target with every strike.

There are such teams, but they are rare, and only a very small number of top clubs can do it.

However, most of the mid- and lower-level teams do not have such strength. Therefore, in the league, Guardiola's team is almost always successful in using passing and controlling tactics. It is very easy to score points in the league and the team's record is as stable as an old dog.

But in the Champions League, they faced top teams from all major leagues, and the further they went, the stronger the teams they faced.

Therefore, his team often fails in the Champions League and is frequently eliminated in the knockout stage.

A football match is nothing more than a game of time and space. Manchester City's ability to control the ball is not as good as Barcelona, ​​so Guardiola seized the space and magnified his own advantage.

In this way, Manchester City is almost invincible.

Even if they fail to score a goal in the end, they can still drag Barcelona into overtime or even a penalty shootout with effective defense.

Well, now it's Barcelona's turn to make a move. Facing Guardiola's move, what adjustments will Enrique make?

Enrique obviously realized that there were problems with the team's offense, so he asked Iniesta to move closer to Messi and use the tacit cooperation between the two to pass and cut in a small space in the frontcourt.

This move quickly took effect. Both of them had strong breakthrough and passing abilities. Together, they achieved an effect of one plus one being greater than two, effectively disrupting Manchester City's defense.

After all, Guardiola's time at Manchester City was limited, and he did not completely complete the transformation of the team.

This tactic of his was rarely used in previous games, and the players were not very proficient in using it.

Therefore, there are still loopholes in the entire defensive system, and superstars like Messi have top-notch ability to seize opportunities.

After seeing the opponent's defense exposed a flaw, he quickly seized the opportunity.

Messi passed the ball to Iniesta and ran forward.

Iniesta passed the ball back to Messi who was advancing, and the two completed a one-two combination.

After receiving the ball, Messi passed it to Neymar, who drove straight forward and continued to make a two-on-one cooperation with Messi.

At this time, most of Manchester City's defensive players were concentrated on the left, because Messi, Neymar and others ran to this area.

In another area, there was a gap in front of Suarez and Pedro, waiting for someone to pass the ball to them, which would be a very threatening shot.

Kolarov stared at Suarez and didn't give him any chance, but how could Suarez be a man who gained his fame for nothing?

His movement was like a ghost, apparently rushing towards the goal, intending to get closer to his teammates and receive the ball better.

However, after Kolarov caught up, he quickly retreated and received the pass from Messi in the middle of the penalty area.

This was a rare open space, and no one within one meter around Suarez could threaten him.

How could Suarez miss such a great opportunity? He scored! The score was rewritten to 2:3, Barcelona scored two goals in a row and took the lead again! At this time, the game time had reached the 79th minute, and there were only a dozen minutes left before the end of the game.

Barcelona only needs to hold on for the last ten minutes to win the treble this season! "Suarez, he stood up and scored a crucial goal!"

"Manchester City is in a desperate situation. If they can't score quickly, they will most likely be eliminated!"

In all the commentary booths, the commentators felt that Suarez's goal might very well have put an end to the game.

Although the game was not over yet, this goal had already made Barcelona invincible.

If Manchester City wants to beat Barcelona, ​​they need to score at least two goals.

It is almost impossible to score two goals in such a short time.

Therefore, for Barcelona, ​​the worst result is just being dragged into overtime.

But their offensive tactics just now worked, which means this goal can be replicated.

Even if they were dragged into overtime, they could still defeat Manchester City with this trick.

Even in the next game, Barcelona may further expand its lead.

This goal made Bartomeu and Barcelona head coach Enrique in the box very excited!

After being worried and frightened for dozens of minutes, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and saw the dawn of victory.

After a year of hard work, it is finally time to reap the rewards.

“Damn it!”

When Guardiola saw Suarez score a goal, his face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

This was the effect Barcelona tried to achieve in the first half, but they unexpectedly achieved it in the second half!

Sure enough, against a player like Messi, the defensive intensity cannot be relaxed for even a moment.

At this moment, Guardiola finally understood what his opponents felt when they encountered Barcelona with the invincible Messi on the field.

This feeling is really unsettling! However, Guardiola did not give up easily. Barcelona has Messi, but doesn't Manchester City have Lin Quan? Lin Quan happened to look at him, so Guardiola immediately waved at him and called him to the sidelines.

"Lin, we don't have much time, we must score a goal as soon as possible!"

Lin Quan nodded, indicating that he understood the urgency of the matter.

But in the second half of the game, Barcelona's defense against him was very targeted. They strengthened the interception of De Bruyne, David Silva and others, and did not give them the opportunity to pass the ball to themselves.

If he took the initiative to retreat to receive the ball, he would be intercepted by multiple lines of defense of the opponent because his position was too far back, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty for Lin Quan to score.

This is not surprising. After all, he has scored two goals against Barcelona. If Barcelona does not pay more attention to defending him, they would be really stupid.

And now that Barcelona has taken the lead, they will definitely do their best to defend in order to maintain this lead.

In this situation, the difficulty of breaking Barcelona's goal increased further.

"Let's do this..." Guardiola has obviously thought of a solution.

Barcelona's celebration lasted nearly two minutes, and by the time they finished celebrating, 81 minutes of the game had passed.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were very dissatisfied with this. The opponent had obviously taken the opportunity to celebrate the goal and deliberately wasted time.

I don’t know how much injury time the referee will give. If the injury time is very short, then there will not be much time left for Manchester City.

Lin Quan recalled what Guardiola had just said and looked up at the positions of the Barcelona players on the opposite side.

Barcelona's formation is Messi and Alves on the right, Neymar and Alba on the left.

Iniesta, Rakitic and Busquets are in the midfield, and there is also Suarez who is always threatening the goal in the forward line.

On the defensive line, Barcelona's two central defenders are Pique and Mascherano.

Pique is responsible for falling back, acting as a sweeper and a passing point during attacks.

Mascherano's position will be advanced. When defending, he will come to the position of defensive midfielder and act as a barrier outside the team's back line.

At this time, Alves and Alba will retreat into the penalty area to maintain the integrity of the back line.

Xiao Ma Ge has strong intercepting and sweeping abilities, and is very familiar with the position of defensive midfielder. He has no problems adapting, which has a great impact on Manchester City's offense.

In fact, this is still Guardiola's credit.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

It was when he was at Barcelona that he changed the position of Marco from defensive midfielder to central defender.

But Guardiola is just tying himself up in knots! In general, this formation of Barcelona is prepared for attack.

However, on the sidelines, Enrique has already asked Barcelona's substitutes to start warming up.

Perhaps it won't be long before he pulls off the offensive player and replaces him with a defensive player to protect the score until the end of the game.

If we want to equalize the score as soon as possible, we must score before Barcelona strengthens their defense.

Of course, you can also choose to launch an attack after the opponent makes a substitution and the new player has not yet fully entered the game and formed a tacit understanding with his teammates.

These are the two best opportunities. Once missed, it will be difficult to score against Barcelona.

Beep! Following the whistle of Cakir, Lin Quan quickly passed the ball to Aguero and rushed towards Barcelona's half.

Because he posed the greatest threat, Rakitic, Busquets and others subconsciously moved towards Lin Quan's direction.

However, Aguero did not pass the ball to Lin Quan, but passed it back to De Bruyne.

Suarez rushed towards De Bruyne, who continued to pass the ball back to Kroos.

Suarez rushed towards the latter again.

The game has already reached the 80th minute, but Suarez still seems to have plenty of energy.

When teammates such as Messi and Neymar have obviously slowed down, he can still run at this level.

Kroos glanced at the other person. It was just Suarez, so he didn't take it seriously.

So the ball was passed back to right-back Zabaleta.

The Barcelona players and fans on the field were a little confused: What's going on, aren't you, Manchester City, behind in the score?

How come you play as if you are leading? There is not much time left in the game, but you are not rushing to attack, but keep passing the ball back. Isn't this just a waste of time?

Although no one knew what Manchester City was up to, in order to maintain the stability of the formation, Barcelona players couldn't help but press forward.

And just as they were moving forward, Zabaleta passed the ball.

He passed the ball to De Bruyne who was moving to the right wing, and Neymar rushed towards De Bruyne, trying to snatch the ball from his feet.

However, De Bruyne seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He pulled the ball, turned around, and passed Neymar with ease.

After turning around, without waiting for Alba and Iniesta to rush up, De Bruyne quickly kicked the ball away.

The football crossed the entire field and came to the other side.

A figure appeared on the flight path of the football and stopped the ball steadily and easily.

After seeing the number on the person who stopped the ball, Barcelona fans were shocked: How did he come to the left side?

The person who caught the ball was none other than Lin Quan!

Because Barcelona focused on the right side during this period, Alves' position was relatively forward.

He chose to rush towards Lin Quan as soon as possible to stop Lin Quan from starting.

However, Lin Quan did not seem to have this intention. He took two steps forward, met Alves, and then passed the ball directly to David Silva.

David Silva was no longer guarded at this time. After receiving the ball, he rushed towards Barcelona's half at high speed. The entire Manchester City team sprinted together and launched a massive counterattack against Barcelona.

Aguero rushed into the penalty area early, waiting to receive the pass from his teammate and take a shot.

Pique blocked Aguero tightly and did not give him the chance to receive the ball.

Mascherano also moved closer to Aguero, ready to double-team him with his teammates.

However, unexpectedly, David Silva did not pass the ball to Aguero, but dribbled towards the penalty area.

Alves had not returned to his position yet, so Pique had to abandon Aguero and move forward to block David Silva.

But just as Pique was moving away from Aguero, David Silva passed the ball.

Of course, the ball was not passed to Aguero, because even if Pique left, he still had Mascherano and Alba by his side. It would be difficult for him to gain an advantage when he was alone against two.

But the other person was different! When David Silva dribbled the ball down the bottom line, Lin Quan deliberately slowed down a step and did not sprint towards Barcelona's penalty area immediately.

Instead, he waited until Alves, Busquets and others had passed him before he suddenly started running and rushed towards the only open space in front of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed.

Behind him, Messi saw Lin Quan suddenly speed up and his heart was alarmed, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Stop him, don't give him a chance to shoot!"

However, the noise at the scene was so loud that his shouts were drowned out.

Barcelona's players did not have eyes in the back of their heads, and most of them did not see Lin Quan rushing up at high speed from behind.

But David Silva saw it, so he knocked the ball back, as if to pass it to Busquets who was defending at the front of the penalty area.

Busquets was stunned. Did the opponent make a mistake?

No, it was definitely not a mistake. As David Silva is his teammate in the national team, he knows very well how strong this guy is.

Since this was not a mistake, someone must have rushed up from behind! After Professor Bu figured this out, his first choice was to destroy the ball.

However, before his feet touched the football, he felt a figure rushing past him like a whirlwind and took the ball away.

Lin Quan successfully received the ball and broke into the penalty area.

Barcelona fans' hearts were in their throats, and some even closed their eyes in despair.

Finished!

This time it's really over! (End of this chapter)
