Dear Gua
Chapter 78 Insane Oppression!
Vilanova's post-Dream Team Barcelona: powerful midfield control, a significant reduction in safe passes, shortening the distance between attacking players, stabbing opponents in the penalty area with knives.
Enrique's MSN Barcelona: weak midfield control, widening the distance, low defensive line, relying on MSN's counterattacks.
Guardiola created the glory of the "Six Crowns."
Vilanova created the club's historical record of winning the championship with "100 points."
This is why Enrique is called the "Dog-Tied Champion" by the media.
Because no one can see any tactical details in this Barcelona team.
Cruyff is very angry now.
"Damn it, even if you tied a dog to the Barcelona coaching seat, you wouldn't lose to Leverkusen!"
Robert nodded in agreement.
The old man, the Saint of Football, has never had a kind and amiable image.
He is a well-known loudmouth in modern football.
......
On the field.
Iniesta and Neymar felt very helpless: the Chinese player from Leverkusen accurately grasped their weaknesses to complete the steals, thereby launching two efficient counterattacks.
Piqué wanted to complain about Mascherano, but didn't know what to say. He couldn't possibly launch a personal attack and say, "The reason for this goal conceded is because you're too short."
Busquets adjusted his shin guards, somewhat茫然: that kid not only knows Barcelona, but also knows too much about La Masia's "number 4 position."
Messi looked at Li Kang's back, without revealing any expression.
....
The game restarts in the center circle.
Suárez passes the ball back to Busquets.
"Leverkusen has taken the lead, and the next period of time should be to stabilize the rhythm and set up a defensive formation in their own backfield."
"From a more pragmatic point of view, even if they draw with Barcelona, they can gain an advantage in qualifying for the group stage. If Roma faces Barcelona..."
"Hey! Are they still going to attack?"
"Is Leverkusen crazy?"
Duan Xuan and He Wei were a little shocked.
In the camera.
Leverkusen still has six players pressing into Barcelona's half!
A bunch of lunatics!
.....
Enrique didn't make any tactical adjustments.
Unzué and the coaching staff gathered together and began a heated discussion.
On the other side.
Dino asked in confusion, "Boss, are we really not defending? Our midfielders and forwards will consume a lot of energy!"
Old Man Toppmöller waved his hand: "Barcelona's midfield control is far inferior to what it used to be, and our pressure will soon be effective! Besides, we can't defend it!"
.....
The ball came to Alves' feet.
Looking at the dense cross-pressing net formed by Leverkusen.
He gave up the idea of finding Rakitić.
Bellarabi, who was marking him, although his pressing level was very poor, was like a tireless mad dog.
There was no way.
He could only pass the ball back to Busquets.
That guy's原地擺脫 (yuandi baituo, escaping in place) and passing are world-class!
....
Busquets had just stopped the ball, and didn't even have time for a first touch.
Kießling charged over like a wild boar!
The Barcelona defensive midfielder was very calm.
This kind of low-level pressing.
He had faced it many times in his career.
Without the slightest panic.
He gently pulled the ball back with his right foot.
Turn around.
Then flick the ball with his left foot.
Elegantly and perfectly resolving the pressure from the Leverkusen center forward.
And also pulled out space to pass the ball.
'Leverkusen's dense pressing net has been torn apart by me, Busquets.'
He suddenly realized that something was wrong... this timeline seemed to be missing something?
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Leverkusen's number 10 tackling fiercely!
Busquets couldn't avoid it!
"Handsome!"
"Busquets' ability to escape in place is absolutely amazing!"
"First-class..."
A burst of intense hand-to-hand combat suddenly came from the close-up sound equipment!
Busquets, who was just about to pass the ball, was thrown to the ground!
The ball was already under Li Kang's control!
The whole stadium was in an uproar!
Piqué raised his hand to signal a foul!
The referee raised his hands, signaling the game to continue!
Li Kang pushed the ball lightly, making a long-range shooting action!
The Barcelona defense immediately contracted!
Goalkeeper Bravo's pupils contracted slightly, quickly adjusting his position!
Camp Nou.
Fell into fear again!
.....
In God's perspective.
Li Kang simply couldn't find an open space for a long shot.
Mascherano's blocking position was perfect.
But it also exposed the gap on the left!
When everyone thought that Barcelona was about to face another heavy artillery test.
Leverkusen's number 10 gently rubbed the inside of his right foot on the ball!
A light arc was outlined in the sky above Camp Nou!
The ball passed over Piqué's head.
Falling towards the left side of Barcelona's penalty area!
Son Heung-min, came galloping!
"Danger!"
"Li Kang's fake shot is a real pass!"
"Asian connection!"
...
1000 shooting practices every day.
Allows Son Heung-min's feet to have superb finishing abilities.
The moment the ball fell.
The Korean winger raised his left leg high.
Volley shot!
The ball slammed into the upper left corner of Barcelona's goal!
Bravo slammed the turf.
Punching the ball out.
Son Heung-min held his head in his hands, with a look of懊惱 (aonao, vexation).
"Just a little bit!"
"A top-level shooting practice."
"Leverkusen showed a terrifying high-level pressure."
"Barcelona must seize the time to make adjustments."
Tens of thousands of Barcelona fans at the scene were still in shock, and the originally loud drums gradually subsided.
...
Dragon Country Live Room.
Fans felt a little unbelievable.
-[Barcelona vs. Leverkusen? If I didn't look at the team names and just looked at the color of the jerseys, I would have thought Real Madrid was playing Barcelona!]
-[Li Kang's tackle on Busquets was well-timed. Leverkusen is well-prepared!]
-[Li Kang's high-altitude pass had a good landing point, but the accuracy wasn't enough. If he had Xavi and Pirlo's skills, Son Heung-min would have more shooting options.]
-[Barcelona has been playing very awkwardly in the first fifteen minutes of the game.]
.....
Enrique couldn't sit still.
Looking苦惱 (kunao, troubled): "Li Kang doesn't have that strong of an ability at all. All the tactical details were tailored for him by Leverkusen..."
After discussing, Unzué and the coaching staff rushed to the sidelines and made several tactical gestures to the Barcelona players.
On the other side.
Dino glanced at it, panicking: "Barcelona is going to attack our left flank, abandon the midfield transition! The front line players move inside to receive the ball..."
Old Man Toppmöller asked in confusion, "How the hell do you know that?"
Dino愣了愣 (lengleng, was stunned): "Li Kang taught me! La Masia's tactical gestures are very simple..."
The two hurriedly made gestures to Bender and Kramer.
......
Back to the game.
Alba stopped the ball that was about to roll out of bounds.
Quickly passed it to Neymar.
At this time, the Samba genius retreated to the thirty-meter zone of Barcelona's half.
Unzué's tactical intention is very simple: rely on Neymar to complete efficient advancement!
Kramer and Borges once again double-teamed him!
"Leverkusen's reaction is very quick!"
"Ah! Neymar's dribbling moves are too concise when facing adversity!"
Whenever Barcelona is at a disadvantage.
Neymar never shows off.
He feints with his upper body.
Pushes with his instep.
Forcibly nutmegging Borges!
Kramer was once again blocked by his teammate and couldn't return to defense.
In just a few seconds.
He could no longer catch up with Neymar.
The drums of Camp Nou sounded again.
"Li Kang was one step late!"
"This is Neymar's true strength."
"People pay more attention to his foot skills, but ignore his explosive speed!"
"Leverkusen's left side is empty!"
.....
The director switched to a long shot overhead view.
The audience then noticed the distribution of Barcelona's attacking points in the frontcourt.
Suárez ran horizontally, pulling away Jonathan Tah.
What about Messi?
He stopped walking!
Cutting to the center at an incredible speed!
Hilbert, who was responsible for marking him, simply couldn't keep up with his pace!
Papadopoulos慌张 (huangzhang, panickedly)補防 (bufang, rushed to defend).
"Three-on-three in the frontcourt!"
"This is the price Leverkusen has to pay for attacking!"
.....
Does Barcelona have to play tiki-taka?
During the MSN era, when massacring weak defenses, they had a simpler way of attacking.
Neymar's speed soared to the limit!
When he drove straight into the thirty-meter zone.
Leverkusen's defense had already been turned upside down.
Hilbert decisively gave up on Messi and turned back towards Neymar.
The Samba genius didn't delay the offensive rhythm, nor did he try to dribble past.
Slowing down slightly.
Calculating the distance between himself and the Leverkusen full-back.
Gently flicking the ball with his right foot.
Hilbert didn't have time to turn around.
The ball lightly passed over his head.
Falling towards the arc of the penalty area.
Messi moved.
His dreamlike步频 (bupin, footwork) made Papadopoulos doubt his life.
The Leverkusen center-back's thinking couldn't keep up with Barcelona's number 10's pace.
.....
Enrique's face flushed.
Old Man Toppmöller frowned, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.
The two coaches sensed what was about to happen next.
....
When the ball landed on Messi's instep.
It seemed to become part of his body.
Goalkeeper Leno adjusted his position in small steps, staring intently at the opponent's foot shape.
Could not see anything through.
A return to basics push shot.
A force-generating part that could not be traced.
In a trance.
A shadow appeared in his vision.
Leno is always a first-class goalkeeper. He quickly went to ground, diving towards the ball.
But it was too late.
Leverkusen's net was raised.
1:1!!!
The cheers that erupted from Camp Nou in an instant were like a landslide!
"It still has to be Messi!"
"When he takes action, everything becomes very simple!"
"As of October 2015, Leno is the Bundesliga goalkeeper who has been scored against by Messi the most!"
"This data will soon catch up with Atlético Madrid's goalkeeper - Oblak!"
"Messi's touching the ball and the amplitude of his calf's swing is too small, making it difficult for Leno to judge the direction of the shot."
"Neymar's chip pass assist! Messi's push shot scores! Barcelona equalizes the score!"
"The South American trident has not yet shown its true power!"
"The score returns to a draw!"
....
Messi and Neymar and Suárez took turns high-fiving and hugging.
Leno buried his head in the grass.
Like a frightened ostrich.
Apart from AC Milan's Diego López, he had conceded the most goals against Messi.
