Chapter 405 Defensive Counterattack? !
Chapter 398 Defensive Counterattack? !

Guardiola frowned.

He's watching Griezmann too!

He thought of everything in this game, but he didn't expect that in this game, Gao Bo actually focused his attack on Griezmann? !

Guardiola has seen many games of Gao Bo's team. He thinks Gao Bo is a head coach who emphasizes the whole and advocates passing cooperation.

Therefore, his arrangement in this game also focuses on cutting off the connection between Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players.

And this also objectively gave Griezmann room for breakthrough.

Of course, it is undeniable that Griezmann's goal is indeed quite wonderful. If it were not for Barcelona's goal, Guardiola would probably applaud this goal.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, Barcelona conceded the goal.

This situation can be described as extremely unfavorable.

Guardiola has his sights set on Messi.

To some extent, Gao Bo thought of going with Guardiola.

Guardiola is also preparing to give full play to Messi's personal ability in this game. In such a close contest, Guardiola knows the value of a superstar too well.

Before the game, Guardiola thought that Barcelona's biggest advantage against Atletico Madrid was that they had Messi, the world's number one superstar.

But judging from Griezmann's series of performances just now, this French boy is probably on the way to approaching Messi
Guardiola took a deep breath. He really did not expect Griezmann to explode in this way in this game, but this does not hinder his subsequent tactical adjustments.

Controlling the ball is still the main axis of Barcelona, ​​but while controlling the ball, the proportion of Messi in this game will be more important!
The TV broadcast also gave Messi a close-up.

The little flea was expressionless. He stood in the middle circle and prepared to tee off with Villa.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, Messi contributed a shot, but Griezmann scored directly.

Messi looked at Griezmann, who was also not very tall, not far away.

This young man who was three or four years younger than him made Messi feel a little competitive pressure.

The opponent's performance just now was really great, Messi's competitive spirit was aroused!

He looked at the opponent's goal.

"There is still a long time to play! David!"

Messi said suddenly.

Villa was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know why Messi suddenly said such a sentence without thinking.

Messi didn't continue talking.

How long is the game time?

Villa is chewing on Messi's words.

Of course, Villa understands the meaning of this sentence. The opponent scored early and there is still a lot of game time left. This also means that Barcelona has enough time to equalize the score and even overtake.

But shouldn't this sentence usually be said impassionedly?

And what Messi said just now was very calm, as if he was saying "the weather is good today".

The game quickly resumed.

The current situation has forced Barcelona to attack. They began to press up, compressing Atletico Madrid's defense from the midfield to the back as much as possible.

But of course Atletico Madrid will not allow their formation to be flattened. In the midfield, Atletico Madrid's players are fighting Barcelona through active running and compact formation.

It didn't take long for Villa to figure out what Messi meant when he said "there's still a long time to go".

In the 7th minute of the game, Messi took the ball on the right. He flicked the ball with his right foot the first time he saw the ball. After the football passed by Raul Garcia, Messi suddenly accelerated to get rid of Raul Garcia.

Then the left back Sandro came up, he lowered his center of gravity, and fought and retreated.

Messi puts the ball in the middle and cuts inward horizontally.

Sandro quickly followed to prevent Messi from cutting inside and shooting directly.

But Sandro moves, Messi moves too!

Messi suddenly flicked the ball to the outside, and the football passed Sandro's left foot.

Sandro quickly twisted his body again, and at this time Messi passed him like a gust of wind! !
Sandro tackles, but he misses the ball! !
"Messi!! Messi has passed!!!"

The commentator exclaimed, and the fans in the stands began to cheer loudly!
Gao Bo on the sidelines immediately became nervous. It seemed that Guardiola had the same idea as him!
Messi quickly broke through from the outside and he went into the penalty area.

The cheers in the stands are boiling!
"Messi went into the box!!!!!!"

In the penalty area, Boateng got stuck, but when facing Messi, Boateng was still a little nervous.

"Keep an eye on it, Jerome!!"

Godin behind him reminded Boateng!On the other hand, Juanfran also shrunk back to the penalty area, and Kanter and Modric also returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

Boateng stared at Messi's feet, and Messi didn't make any dazzling fake moves. He just controlled the rhythm of dribbling, but Boateng didn't dare to take it lightly.

He is facing Messi!
Messi's foot movement suddenly became faster. He first made a fake move to break through from the outside, and then suddenly changed direction. When Boateng reacted, Messi had already shot directly in the penalty area! ! !
"Beautiful!!! Kanter's blocking!!!"

The commentator's voice sounded.

When Messi cut inside, Kanter, who rushed into the penalty area, fell to the ground directly, and his body turned sideways to block Messi's shooting line. The ball hit him directly and went out of the baseline!

Corner for Barcelona!
Iniesta corner kick, this is a tactical corner.

Messi moved to the left again.

This time Juanfran was passed by Messi, and Messi passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area in an inverted triangle near the bottom line.

Pedro took the initiative to give up his position to Messi after Messi went to the left, and he came to the center by himself.

And this time the change of position gave Pedro a chance to kick the goal.

At the top of the penalty area, Pedro volleys with his right foot!

The football was thrown by Navas and returned to the penalty area, and then Boateng cleared the ball.

Barcelona controlled the ball in the backcourt and continued to attack!

Messi is in the middle again!
Messi passed the ball to Xavi in ​​the middle, and then he went in the middle.

Xavi's pick pass was quickly passed, Messi then inserted the ball and volleyed the ball, and the football went over the head of Navas and entered the goal.

Before the stands could cheer, the referee's whistle sounded first.

It turned out that Messi hooked Godin with his foot before receiving the ball, and he fouled first.

Such a penalty naturally made the Barcelona fans quite dissatisfied. They didn't care whether Messi had fouled or not. In the eyes of the fans, this was the referee blowing off a Barcelona goal.

Guardiola looked very excited on the sidelines, and the words that came out of his mouth immediately made the fourth official concerned.

Gao Bo couldn't stand anymore, Barcelona's offensive became more and more fierce during this period, and Messi's threat on the court was too great, which made Atletico Madrid have to defend!

"Defense!! Return to defense across the board!!!"

Gao Bo handed Raul Garcia to the sidelines.

"Don't give them room to break through, especially Messi!"

The solution Gao Bo thought of was not to arrange a few players to mark Messi specifically, but to immediately form a tight defensive formation in the backcourt!

Now Atletico Madrid is already leading by one goal, which is equivalent to strategically, Atletico Madrid has gained an advantage.

Since Atlético Madrid can carry out an airtight press in the frontcourt, now they have moved this set to the front of their own penalty area, which is also not uncomfortable.

When the game restarted, the Barcelona players quickly discovered that their offense had hit a wall!

A wall at the frontier of the restricted area!

Atletico Madrid immediately retreated as a whole and played a defensive counterattack?
Guardiola's head began to ache faintly.
If it is facing the opponent's intensive defense, in fact, Guardiola also knows that Atletico Madrid can make the defense at the front of the penalty area impenetrable. He has studied Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid rarely played this kind of defensive counterattack directly to the penalty area before, but this game is different.

Now that they are already in the lead, Atletico Madrid chooses to play a defensive counterattack. Barcelona doesn't have much to do with them.
