Chapter 741 Barcelona's first ax

When referee Howard Webber, from England, blew the whistle to start the game, Sudong kicked the ball in the penalty area to Ribery, who passed it back to Schweinsteiger in midfield.

Barcelona moved forward quickly, forming an oppression on Bayern.

Schweinsteiger diverted the ball to the right and handed it to Arjen Robben.

Facing Sedu Keita's close pressure on the right, the Dutchman tried to kick the ball to the bottom line. When a man scored the ball, he was blocked by Sedu Keita and the ball flew out of bounds.

Barcelona's throw-in.

Robben raised his left hand high, indicating that it was his mistake.

Bayern's three lines immediately retreated, and even Su Dong in front followed.

After Barcelona took the ball out of bounds, it passed it skillfully, and the ball ran back and forth in the midfield.

Soon, Barcelona played a fast lane on the right, and Alves pressed directly to the 30-meter area of ​​Bayern. After receiving Harvey's oblique pass, he passed it to Messi, and he quickly moved forward.

Messi understood, took the ball with his back, turned around and passed it to the bottom line on the right.

Alves quickly stepped in and sent a cross with his right foot, directly in front of the goal.

Ibrahimovic quickly jumped in and Pepe entangled him every step of the way. The two kicked at the same time, one was about to hit the goal and the other was about to clear the siege. As a result, the ball hit Ibrahimovic's leg, changed direction and hit Pepe, who was blocked by the Portuguese central defender. Pepe quickly caught up and kicked the ball out with a big kick.

In the stadium stands, the Bayern fans were visibly relieved.

Although many people feel that Ibrahimovic cannot integrate into Barcelona, ​​his performance and statistics in Barcelona are not bad.

The superstars who have reached their level are all of the type that shines brightly when given a little sunshine, and they can kill the game every minute.

Or Barcelona's throw-in.

Pepe reminded his teammates from the back, especially Marcelo.

In Barcelona's attack just now, Marcelo obviously didn't follow Alves in time.

Routine is this kind of routine, but sometimes the court changes rapidly.

Alves passed the ball to Messi, which made Marcelo reflexively want to pinch Messi, but as a result, Messi passed behind, Alves slipped in, and Marcelo couldn't keep up.

"You look out for the side, you don't need you in the middle!" Pepe shouted.

Marcelo made an OK gesture.

……

With a threatening attack, although it failed to form a shot, Barcelona's morale was still very strong.

The team started pressing down the pitch.

As soon as Bayern grabbed the ball, they immediately went crazy to counter-grab, forcing Bayern to keep kicking.

In just 3 minutes, Bayern kicked the ball twice, once kicked the ball out of bounds, and once failed to find Su Dong, and passed it directly to Pique who was dragged at the end.

Obviously, this is the effect Barcelona wants.

Through this high-intensity pressing and pressing, Bayern is forced to be unable to hold the ball.

If you can't hold the ball, how do you attack?

Doesn't Su Dong become a decoration in the frontcourt?
More importantly, Barcelona dropped the oppressive area to Bayern's 30-meter zone, which is very terrible. As long as the ball is broken, another pass is a threat, and it can be kicked at any time.

It feels like the opponent has a knife on his neck, and he can cut it off anytime, anywhere.

Heynckes was also very anxious on the sidelines, constantly signaling the players to press out and stay away from their own penalty area, especially if the goal is too close.

Everyone knows that this is Barcelona's first attack in the opening game, and it is absolutely impossible for them to maintain a long press.

Messi may be able to bear it, but Ibrahimovic can bear it?

Besides, Bayern is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the 7th minute, Bayern created a chance in the backcourt. Schweinsteiger sent a long pass directly to the left side of the frontcourt.

Su Dong quickly reversed offside and crossed to the left. After getting the ball, Pique and Puyol had already pushed forward. Together with Alves and Yaya Toure, four defensive players surrounded Su Dong on the left side of the penalty area.

Su Dong is also quite strong. He insisted on the boundary line, blocked Pique with his body, stepped on the ball with his foot, turned around and passed the ball back.

Unfortunately, as soon as Ribery stopped the ball, Alves kicked the ball out of bounds.

Bayern quickly sent a throw-in, passed it to Schweinsteiger again, and reorganized near the halfway line.

Barcelona first defended firmly, and after seeing Bayern pass back, players such as Ibrahimovic and Messi immediately pressed forward.

Su Dong saw that he couldn't find a point of exit in the backcourt, so he immediately retreated and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Pepe's long pass accurately found Sudong, but as soon as the ball stopped, Yaya Toure blocked him behind him, Sedu Keita and Pique next to him, and Xavi in ​​front of him also ran over.

Another encirclement!

Su Dong made a decisive decision, and before the encirclement was completed, he passed the ball directly to Marcelo, who was unguarded on the left. However, when the Brazilian left back tried to break through with the ball on the left, he was cleared by Alves.

……

"Judging from the starting tactics of the two teams in the opening game, they are very targeted, especially the defense against the opponent's core players."

"Both Su Dong and Messi are under tremendous defensive pressure. As soon as they get the ball, the surrounding defensive players immediately form a double-team, which makes it difficult for both of them to play."

Zidane watched the game for about 10 minutes, and found that the two sides were really facing each other, evenly matched.

Mourinho attaches great importance to defense, but Barcelona's possession rate is still very high.

"In the first 10 minutes, neither team had a chance to kick the ball. Barcelona had a high ball possession rate, but they actually created few opportunities, mainly because they still had a lot of long passes to Ibrahimovic."

"This is an obvious change in Barcelona's tactics this season. However, under the marking of Lucio and Pepe, the Swedish center couldn't hold the ball, or even grab the ball, so Barcelona's ball went to the frontcourt, and the turnover rate was quite high."

"However, from the current point of view, Barcelona's frontcourt counter-attack is doing quite well, and Bayern is very headache."

Just as he was talking, he saw Bayern counterattack again, and the ball still came to Su Dong's feet.

In the frontcourt, as soon as Su Dong got the ball, he was double-teamed by Barcelona players again, and there were basically three or four players around him.

No matter how strong Su Dong's personal ability is, he can single-handedly fight four without any space?

This is basically impossible.

Cristiano Ronaldo also felt it was a pity to see Sudong having to pass the ball back to the defender, who was forced to pass back to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

"Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben didn't give Su Dong enough support. They can definitely get closer to Su Dong and cooperate with him. Su has that kind of ability and awareness, and his body is very good. As long as he turns around and hits the ball head-on, Barcelona's goal will be dangerous."

"Yes, that's right." Zidane also agrees with Ronnie's judgment. "Su Dong's problem now is that he can only get the ball with his back, Bayern can't pass the ball, and Barcelona are trying their best to avoid Su Dong's frontal attack."

"It's been 13 minutes since the game, right? Su Dong also got the ball a few times, but almost never faced the goal." Ronnie felt very puzzled.

I can see it myself, but Heynckes can't see it?

It doesn't make sense!
Sure enough, at No. 15 minutes, Heynckes signaled the players on the sidelines to withdraw the formation appropriately, and at the same time let Ribery and Robben move closer to Su Dong.

After withdrawing, the space in front of Su Dong was larger.

But in this way, the pressure on Bayern's defense will also increase.

But only 2 minutes later, a long pass from Lucio went directly to the right side of the penalty area.

Su Dong quickly slanted behind Maxwell, rushed ahead of everyone, and caught up with Lucio's long pass on the right side of the penalty area.

When the ball was stopped, Barcelona's Seydu Keita and Maxwell both returned to their positions at the same time.

But after Sudong stopped the ball, he paused first, and then he suddenly accelerated. He slammed the ball to the bottom line. After passing Sedu Keita with speed, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, squeezed Maxwell away with his body, and made a cross with his right foot.

The ball fell to the middle of the penalty area, but this area is full of Barcelona players.

Neither Franck Ribery nor Robben entered this area immediately to create a threat. As a result, Su Dong's pass was directly cleared by Puyol and kicked out of the penalty area.

"At this time, if it was me, at least one shot could be made. If Puyol and Pique didn't defend, I would be sure to score!" Ronnie and Su Dong cooperated very well, and he also had enough confidence and confidence in his ability.

But unfortunately, Ribery and Robben are not Cristiano Ronaldo.

Heynckes could only be anxious on the sidelines.

Ribery and Robben are good players on the wing, but when it comes to shooting, Robben is not bad, and Ribery is a lot worse.

Not to mention compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, even Thomas Muller, they are obviously inferior.

Of course, this is purely from the perspective of shooting and smell, after all, they are all wingers.

"This is what I just said, as long as he gets the ball and makes a frontal attack, neither of them may be able to defend him." Cristiano Ronaldo is still regretting that the attack just now did not result in a shot.

Bayern's quick counterattack seemed to stimulate Barcelona, ​​and they began to launch a more violent attack on Bayern.

This caused Bayern's three lines to basically retreat to their own half, and even Su Dong retreated past the center line.

Bayern has been known for its defensive ability in the past three years. It has been able to break through in the European arena, and its excellent defense is indispensable.

Needless to say Pepe and Lucio, Mascherano is the world's top midfielder, coupled with Schweinsteiger and Modric, Bayern's defense in the midfield is very solid, and it is hard for Barcelona to create a threat.

Barcelona's two full-backs began to actively advance and participate in assists, and it seemed more like they were using themselves as wingers.

And just when Barcelona was about to break into the Bayern penalty area, Mascherano completed a steal against Messi. After poking the ball down, Pepe made a clearance and kicked the ball forward.

Su Dong was near the center line, constantly judging the landing point. After blocking Pique with his body, he headed the ball to Ribery, and turned around and moved forward quickly.

Ribery understood it, caught up with the ball without stopping, volleyed towards the landing ball, and passed behind the Barcelona defense.

And almost at this moment, Su Dong passed by Pique's side.
