ball at foot

"I regret now that I didn't persevere and introduced Zhao Yaning to Barcelona."

In the locker room, looking at the injured Messi, Puyol faced his teammates and spoke.

How could Messi get hurt at this time? The gap of 8 points, the injured Messi, is this God asking Barcelona to admit defeat?

No one expected that just before the start of the game, Messi, the hope of Barcelona, ​​was suddenly injured.

"You mean, do you think it was my mistake?" Xavi immediately raised his head and looked at Puyol, "I admit that I made a mistake, but it was a football mistake. This season, we played Not good enough, if you scold me for not playing well, I admit my mistake. But when I transferred, I made the right choice: we don’t need one person to compete with Leon for the ball.”[

"I didn't say it was your mistake, you didn't make a mistake. This kind of thing should have been persuaded by me, not by you." Puyol suppressed Harvey's words lightly, "Make It was me who made the wrong decision, and it was my fault."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Real Madrid just played a few good games while we were napping. What are you afraid of? We can definitely win. They're just jumping now and waiting for our condition to adjust. , What are they fighting with us for?"

Valdez's words made Puyol look at him, but he didn't speak. The 8-point gap is simply a boulder on the head of a league championship team.Under such heavy pressure, saying anything is just a nap, this is contempt for the opponent, and it is also a disregard for oneself.

Where is this nap?With such a big difference in points, it was obvious that he fell asleep and was slaughtered as a dead pig.

"Perhaps, what the media said is right. What he showed us was not how strong a strong team can be, but a style of play in the new era." It took a long time for Puyol to speak, "This kind of football The strategic significance even surpasses the tactical one: that is to say, when facing a weaker team, try to make as few mistakes as possible. Use a better record of abuse of food to make up for the lack of strong dialogue— —For example, Real Madrid now, so what if they lose to us? With so many points difference, it is too difficult for us to catch up."

"I don't like their style of play very much." Harvey said slowly, "But I also admit that they play like this is really terrible. When that guy faces the underdogs, he is a big killer. He can Easily crushing all the teams, not losing any points that should be scored, this kind of play is basically forcing us to do our best to fight against them throughout the season, but if we put all We put all our physical strength on the league, and we don’t have enough physical strength in the Champions League. Sometimes, I think what Zidane said is really right: football has reached a certain level, and the fundamental problem is the distribution of physical strength. question."

Puyol didn't speak, Xavi is putting gold on his face. In fact, in the current Barcelona, ​​how can they save their strength to play in the Champions League?It simply can't even cope with the league.

Real Madrid is rich and powerful, and they can afford to buy people. In order to fight against Real Madrid, Barcelona desperately bought people.Real Madrid Florentino's six years, Real Madrid's net investment of 272 billion, Barcelona also reached 19 billion, and in the same period, Real Madrid's income was 244 billion more than Barcelona.

If they want players with the same level of strength, Barcelona has to buy big names. Although they have their own youth training as a subsidy, they can spend less money, but in doing so, the wages are high. When Barcelona was at its highest, wage expenditures accounted for all expenditures. 90%, and Real Madrid in the same year only had 84%. Barcelona can't afford this kind of fee. In terms of the thickness of the lineup, the difference between them and Real Madrid is not 01:30.

Zhao Yaning can’t run to death, and his teammates are always tired of the enemy.But Real Madrid can rely on rotation to complete the game. Higuain, Mata, Gago, De La Reid and others are waiting for opportunities on the bench.And what about Barcelona?This season, because the poor are useless, they have to promote Bo Yang.Although it can be said that he is a double talent, far surpassing Messi, and the geniuses who are born in the world are jumping out one after another-but who knows his real strength?Barcelona has self-knowledge, no thickness, how to fight for the league?

"Sometimes, I really think, if only we were still in the 50s, it would be nice."

Iniesta's words made Puyol frown.He knew what it meant. In the 50s, there were no regulations prohibiting doping in football, so doping was not a big deal in those days.The famous German miracle in Bern, afterward, they all admitted that doping was used in the game-but the admission was also so-called. At that time, it was not considered a foul. In the 50s, doping was not banned in football.

Seeing Puyol frowning, Iniesta knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and lowered his head, he just said it.

"It was said in the newspaper that Zhao Yaning brought football into a new era - but, in such an era, there is no way to achieve it. In this world, except for his monster, there are few people who can play so many games without getting tired ? This is simply beyond the human practice."

Regarding the statement in the newspaper that Zhao Yaning brought football into a new era, the Barcelona players had to admit on the one hand, but on the other hand, they were a little dissatisfied: In their view, such an honor should be attributed to Barcelona, How could it belong to someone else?Therefore, they do not agree with those claims.

"Actually, what Inter Milan and Manchester United are doing seems to be a bit like Real Madrid."

Eto'o on the side, suddenly spoke.

Inter Milan's approach relies on Ibrahimovic's performance.Manchester United relies on Ronaldinho.Their approach also has such a prototype, but they are not as far as Zhao Yaning.

"He was just one step ahead."

"Sometimes, one step ahead is all." Puyol said, "I asked Mr. Cruyff, and he also recognized Zhao Yaning's greatness, but he said something: The role of tactics is to limit Geniuses, since there are unborn geniuses, we should use unborn tactics to deal with them instead of complaining."

These words made everyone's eyes bright, but a problem was also prominent: what is the so-called unworldly tactic?

They didn't know, and no one thought, to ask Rijkaard.Rijkaard was good on the scene, and he was friendly, but people were not going to ask him for such an advanced question of tactics.

"Could it be that there is no way to defeat that guy?" Eto'o said unconvinced.

"If there was, we would have used it a few years ago. As for being abused by him every year?" Edmir Sennay agreed.

"Yes, but yes..." Harvey was thinking about something, "Which one of you has been paying attention to our youth training team's games recently?"

"You're talking about La Masia?" Puyol asked back, "Under Pep's guidance, there seems to be some changes, but I remember that many media seem to say that our team plays wiper football, that is, Swiping around in the backcourt, it seems that they don't pass forward... I have watched a few games, and I think they are right."

"Can you trust the media?" Harvey shook his head. "I really like their style of play. It doesn't matter if it's a wiper or an inverted foot, but at least the ball is at our feet."

"What's the use of the ball if you can't attack?" Eto'o asked rhetorically.

"If the ball is at our feet and we don't attack, then our running can be reduced." Harvey said, "If the opponent wants to attack, they must come to our feet to grab the ball. Grabbing is extremely energy-consuming. If one trades off the other, our physical strength will be much better than that of our opponents. If we apply this tactic in the league, we can consume less energy. In this way, we can compete with As long as that guy stays in shape at any time, we will not be left behind in terms of physical fitness and state." The latest chapter of the Great Ming King."

"And if we use a certain tactic to counterattack in the second half..." Valdez patted his head, "This tactic sounds good."

"However, this style of play doesn't sound like offensive football." Puyol hesitated before speaking, "We rely on our passing skills to conserve energy, consume the opponent's energy, The opponent's physical strength is exhausted, and we control the ball to kill. It sounds close to some kind of defensive counterattack thinking, not like our football philosophy."

"What is our football philosophy? Passing, technology, offense." Harvey replied, "We didn't put up iron barrels, and we didn't stick to the defense. Our passive defense relied on our excellent passing and receiving skills. This kind of technology, other teams can't play it if they want to play, this is the most unique advantage of our Barcelona, ​​how can it be defensive football when playing football with technical advantages?"

"You're talking about technology, I'm talking about philosophy." Puyol shook his head.

"Does the concept have any great significance? Let me say that it is good to win." Eto'o said.

Harvey frowned, but did not refute him, but spoke to Puyol, "By making full use of our technical advantages, we can play the football style we need. Passing from the backcourt seems simple, But it is based on technology. This is offensive football. We rely on consuming the opponent’s physical strength and then defeating them. When we play against underdogs, it is to save energy. What’s wrong? When it comes to playing against strong teams Sometimes, such a style of play may not be useful, and we may not use it."

"Defensive football always brings results, so it's like a drug, once you get it, it's hard to get rid of it," Puyol objected, "I don't like this football philosophy, I think it's not good. "

"Pep and I share the same philosophy," Xavi insisted.

Puyol was silent. He still had enough respect for the veterans of the team, but he still didn't think this idea was good enough.

"Pep's command is not only a backcourt, but also some other things." Messi whispered from the side.Seeing the eyes of his teammates sweeping over, he waved his hand, "I don't know, I just watched the game and felt that Pep's tactics are very good. If we use them, we can go further. But I don’t know why it’s good, I don’t understand tactics, Pep’s tactics, I only know that it’s not just the backcourt, it seems that there are other things that need to be paid attention to.”

Harvey didn't speak. He knew that sometimes, this feeling was fatal.Messi is a genius. When geniuses look at a tactic, sometimes they really feel that way: I can’t say what is good, but I like it. I can’t say what is bad, but I am sure that I can break it easily. .

Puyol was also silent, and he also knew how talented Messi was.In his opinion, like Zhao Yaning on the opposite side, Messi is a genius beyond the entire football world, and he also supports Xavi's words, making Puyol unable to say anything. [

"Actually, there is nothing to argue about. This time against Real Madrid, just try it? In the first half of the game, let's try. If it doesn't work, we can play normally in the second half." Henry Standing up to smooth things over, "There is no harm in trying, and we don't have to worry about failure. Whose team can be like ours? The discussion is not about sports cars, women, making money, endorsements, but the development of football skills. Progress? Our approach determines that we must be the one better than everyone else. This kind of atmosphere is the atmosphere of a championship team."

"However, we still have no way to deal with that monster's abnormal play in the league." Harvey said, "Being forced by a monster to discuss how to deal with a wealthy family behind closed doors is shameful enough."

"There is nothing shameful about it. There is always a way. Genius and tactics are the driving force behind football's upward spiral. Zhao Yaning is a genius, but if we have better tactics, we can beat him. Let's see." In the end, who Zhao Yaning is more talented, or Pep's tactics are greater!"

ps: The spiral of genius and tactics is the law of football.I personally think that if you want to reflect the strength of the protagonist, his enemy should be a certain tactic, not a certain person.
