Chapter 693 The Meaning of Diving

Barcelona made such a choice, which is actually somewhat helpless.Although they fell behind in the first half of the game, their overall situation, in their own opinion, played well. Although Zhao Yaning played a good goal in front of Puyol, Barcelona has also played well in recent years. He is not known for his impeccable defense. It is easy to play against a strong team. Liverpool is not an underdog, and Zhao Yaning is a guy with outstanding strength. can afford to wait.

However, in Barcelona now, it is not a mistake of one goal, but two goals behind.Valdez's nonsense mistakes, let Barcelona into a deadlock prematurely, they had to speed up the attack.Sometimes, a low-level mistake is likely to cause the tragedy of the entire game, or even a series, or even a season. This kind of butterfly effect is very terrible.

The deployment of Iniesta was a change they had to make, although they themselves knew very well that the consequence of doing so would be to expose their defense line to the outside world, and it is very likely that all kinds of big players will qualify. problem, but even so, they really have no other choice.

However, Iniesta's appearance did not change much the situation.Liverpool attaches great importance to their backcourt defense, and Sissoko has not had the opportunity to play in many games. Now he is desperately trying to express himself, and he has also played extremely well. In this game, his running and steals have made The Barcelona players have nothing to do, and at this time, he will naturally not let his opponent take advantage of it.

Iniesta was replaced, but there was nothing unexpected: Barcelona had only a few substitute players, and if they didn't play Iniesta, they would go to Giuly. They didn't have too many people.Whether Iniesta can make a good enough contribution is hard to say. [

Iniesta has been regarded as a genius since his debut - and even his Spanish teammates who have worked with him in the national team are also very sure of this.

Zhao Yaning knew that he knew it very early-Iniesta and Morientes are fellow villagers, and Morientes mentioned him early.The player became famous in Spain at the age of 13. In an interview at the time, he said that the team he most wanted to play for was Real Madrid, but immediately, he was signed by Barcelona.Regarding this, Morientes also deeply regretted it at the beginning. He believed that Iniesta's strength was no worse than that of Zhao Yaning.

Of course, Zhao Yaning expressed doubts about this.After all, his strength is hard to predict.And Iniesta, a player who was acquired by Barcelona as a genius since he was a child, has grown up very well.Barcelona proved what a decision that was.Iniesta, who they signed, gave full play to his genius in the following time.

Iniesta's technique and sense of the ball are indeed excellent. Even if we put aside his physical fitness and simply talk about technique, his technique should be regarded as the best in Barcelona, ​​whether it is Ronaldinho. It's still Messi, in terms of technology, he can't be compared with him.Ronaldinho's dribbling moves have been deteriorating since he moved from Brazil to Europe, and even at his peak, he was extremely dependent on his excellent flexibility to live a happy life.And Messi's stride frequency is too good. Most of the time, he doesn't need fake moves, and he can directly accelerate in one step. Therefore, the rhythm of playing football that is too natural is too special. There is also less carving.In contrast, Iniesta's ball feel, technique, and ability to control the belt, purely in terms of skills, are indeed the best in Barcelona.

This is indeed an amazing talent.

But apart from the technical aspect, many of his disadvantages are natural.First of all, his physical fitness is really not that good. For a 170m player, besides skills, the most important thing is explosive power and agility. Otherwise, it is impossible to get rid of the opponent.And Iniesta is just a person with poor explosive power. Although he can make up for some of the lack of speed and agility by relying on his skillful passing and receiving, but no matter how to make up for this inherent problem, it is very difficult. filled.Physical defects will greatly affect a person's style of play.

Iniesta claims to be able to play the front midfielder and the wing, but in fact, he can't play the wing.When he played on the wing, Barcelona always played in a mess. It is okay to bully the underdogs, but it is inevitable to suffer when playing against the strong teams.Players without explosive power basically rely on shaking and rhythm changes. Iniesta plays very well in the middle, but on the wing, he can't pass people with this style of play-he is exactly the same as the English genius Whoever has two extremes has a big problem.

And what's more, he has a bigger problem than his physical defects. His passing awareness has a big problem.

Many people say that Iniesta is the inheritance of Barcelona's No. 4 and the successor of Harvey.However, this statement is actually very difficult to realize.Although Iniesta has much better control skills than Harvey, his passing awareness is not up to Harvey's level.Even, let alone comparing with Harvey, even compared with Barcelona's rising star Messi, he also has some gaps.

Players who are good at dribbling must know how to distinguish when to pass, when to shoot, and when to continue to dribble.Although Messi's passing does not have Harvey's excellent control, nor does it have Ronaldinho's weird imagination and penetrating ability, but when it is time to pass the ball, it is absolutely not too much, and when it is time to dribble the ball, it is absolutely not. Random passes, this style of play, although it seems simple, but it reflects an extremely good golf quotient.And Iniesta doesn't have this kind of awareness. Sometimes he is too sticky to the ball, dribbling the ball until he has no chance, and then passing the ball-this kind of problem is naturally another huge reason that hinders his progress.

"After Iniesta played, the situation in Barcelona has not improved much." In this regard, Lineker also quickly saw, "They are not playing as hard as they did in the first half. Could it be that , Barcelona's Dream Team [-], after a short year of glory, is it going to be destroyed?"

Lineker would say this because at this time, Barcelona's offense cannot continue.

Iniesta took the ball, took a step forward, and gently slid the ball back and forth with his right foot.His explosive power is not enough, and the strength in his calves is not enough to allow him to have enough strength to complete a huge change of direction, or Matthews' fake moves, flicking the cow's tail and other actions. What he can do is just It is such a small shaking, relying on his own shaking, to lure the opponent to grab, and then, relying on his own sense of rhythm, to pass the opponent.

This kind of method is often effective. It is not without reason that players with good skills rely on rhythm changes to be considered the highest level of excellence.This kind of passing method does not hurt the body, does little damage to oneself, and can also mess up the opponent's rhythm. It has always been the most admired.

However, Sissoko's tackle was indeed more ferocious than he expected. The violent stealing ability of this big black man made Iniesta's small body unable to handle it.He kicked the ball to Deco behind him.Deco gave the ball to Messi on the other side with one kick. Messi took the ball and tried to break through twice, but returned with the same success.

In desperation, he could only choose to pass back, and Deco, who received the ball again, did not choose to attack again this time, but passed the ball back to Harvey.

However, at this time, Gerrard also rushed back. This time, he didn't give Harvey the space to turn around, and directly grabbed the moment Harvey received the ball, and immediately kicked it with a tackle.

Under Xavier, he kicked the ball to Iniesta who was running to respond. He himself knew that the pass was not good, so he immediately thought of intercepting the Phantom of the Tomb.

Sure enough, at this time, Sissoko had already rushed up, made a tackle, and took the ball. [

But at this moment, Iniesta rolled to the ground with his legs in his arms, and cried out in a crying voice.

"It looks like it was a Messiko foul..."

"Momo, what's the matter?" Zhao Yaning and Gerrard, who ran over, were a little strange. They knew that Sissoko's defensive moves were big, but when he was defending, he was very accurate.They have seen Sissoko shovel many times, but the fouls causing injuries are very few.

"I didn't meet him..." Sissoko stopped talking.Obviously, he wanted to say that Iniesta flopped.But such words are too ugly after all, and he is not willing to say such words out of his temper.

"Are you talking about him diving?" At some point, Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdez rushed to the frontcourt and roared angrily, "He never dives, it's your fault." foul!"

"You are in the penalty area, how did you see what happened in the frontcourt?" Zhao Yaning couldn't help but said beside him, "The referee hasn't spoken yet, what are you yelling at?"

"I'm afraid the referee will be influenced by you. Iniesta is a good boy. He never flops. You can't frame him!"

Zhao Yaning still wanted to say something, but Alonso held Zhao Yaning: He understood, how could Valdez see clearly what was going on?His idea is one: rely on the enthusiasm of the crowd to put pressure on the referee, so that the referee will not dare to make a heavy sentence.Generally speaking, referees have the task of maintaining the normal progress of the game. Such fouls are originally of little significance, but after Barcelona put pressure on the referee, the referee will naturally favor them a little: even the goalkeeper rushed up. This kind of irritable mood, if you don't calm down a little bit, the next game will be more troublesome.

To be able to think of letting the goalkeeper plug in a long distance to find the referee's theory, so as to prove his anger in exchange for the referee's care, such an arrangement is really a pioneering work of talent.

After the referee came over, he still whistled the foul for Sissoko, and then signaled Iniesta to get up.After all, this is the Nou Camp, and the fall in the midfield also closed the penalty kick, and the referee did not whistle excessively.

"Sissoko's foul...the free kick in this place should not be dangerous, but this attack was interrupted like this."

At this time, Lineker said the most important purpose of Barcelona's diving.

Such a foul seems to have no offensive significance.However, the defensive significance it brings cannot be ignored.

Barcelona's defense is weak, and the ability to block the opponent's counterattack is not good enough. If the opponent counterattacks quickly, it is always difficult for Barcelona to stop the opponent with Harvey's blocking.

And how to block the quick counterattack?They don't have a good enough midfielder, and the method they came up with can be regarded as an ingenious fall.

Once a player falls, the game will naturally be suspended.Regardless of which party is responsible, at least at this time of whistleblowing, the game cannot continue.

It's just that generally speaking, if you want to suspend the game and prevent the normal progress of the game, you rely on your own fouls.However, Barcelona did not choose to do so.They chose to fall and then besiege the referee. In this way, they achieved the same effect as a tactical foul.If they were whistled for diving, it was just the result of a tactical foul. If they were not whistled and whistled for the opponent, they could still make money.Coupled with their set of corresponding measures to besiege the referee, this method can be regarded as ingenious.

It's just that this is a football game after all.In a football game, don't think about how to make up for your own tactical shortcomings, but rely on such unconventional means, even almost deceptive means to make up for the shortcomings, is it really good?

A team that claims to be an art football, but plays in such a way, isn't it a bit, too ugly?Is this team really a dream team?
