Chapter 360 Offense and Defense

Inter Milan this season is invincible in the league.

In the eyes of many fans, this Inter Milan is the strongest Inter Milan in history!

But even in front of the strongest Inter Milan in history, there is still an opponent that makes fans dare not win lightly.

Barcelona!

The team that won six championships last season is also the team now known as the Dream Team and the Cosmos Team.

Barcelona also has a high score of close to [-] points in the league. In the Champions League, they only encountered some troubles when they played against Chelsea in the semi-finals.

This season, there are not many games that really make it difficult for Barcelona to play.

Coincidentally, the two teams have already played against each other in the group stage.

The final result is that each wins one game, but if I really want to say, Inter Milan performed better.

After all, Barcelona won the second game, a considerable part of the reason is that Li Ze and Sneijder were absent due to injuries.

Although Inter Milan has a little upper hand, the fans dare not be careless.

The contest in the group stage is really unpredictable.

Some teams can perform well in the group stage, but once they reach the knockout stage, they seem to change their appearance.

Amidst the tension and anticipation of many Inter Milan fans, Barcelona fans, and neutral fans, the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League final will be held on May 5rd.

"Barcelona has set up a 433 formation. Recently, he tried to form a 343 formation. It seems that he still dare not take risks in the Champions League final." Zhang Lu is a bit regretful.

"After all, this is the final of the UEFA Champions League. No one dares to take risks easily, so it is also called an unknown game." He Wei didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"For Barcelona, ​​the starting goalkeeper is Valdez, the back four are Alves, Pique, Yaya Toure and Maxwell, the three midfielders are Xavi, Keita and Busquets, and the three forwards are May. West, Ibrahimovic and Pedro."

"Inter Milan is also familiar with the 4312 formation. The goalkeeper is Cesar, the back four is Maicon, Lucio, Samuel and Chivu, and the three midfielders are Zanetti, Motta and Cambiasso. The single attacking midfielder is Sneijder, and the double forwards are Milito and Li Ze."

"This is the first Champions League final for a Chinese." He Wei said suddenly from the side.

Zhang Lu suddenly shut up.

His rich life experience told him that it is very likely that there will be problems in this topic.

"Li Ze has already created many records. We can't simply regard him as a Huaguo player, but as a world-class player."

"He broke not only the records of Asian players, but even the records of world players."

"I believe this will not be the last time he breaks into the Champions League." Zhang Lu is very confident.

"I still hope that he can win the championship for the first time." He Wei was like a fool, holding on to this topic without hesitation.

His words also resonated with many Hua Guo fans.

"I also hope that Li Ze can win this Champions League. We all have face when we say it."

"So what if Park Ji-sung won the Champions League? He's just a substitute, and Li Ze is the core!"

"So what if Li Ze wins the Champions League? His success does not symbolize the success of Chinese football."

"We're talking about Li Ze now, why are we talking about Huaguo football?"

"If you don't talk about the national football team, what's the point of talking about the national football team on such an exciting day?"

The bar was bustling, and the moment the players from both sides entered the field, the fans suddenly fell silent.

Messi, Xavi, Ibrahimovic...

This Barcelona team has too many names that cannot be ignored.

Even if Puyol and Iniesta can't play this game, Barcelona's overall is very strong.

But immediately, the fans also saw the Inter Milan players entering the field.

Li Ze, Sneijder, Milito, Cambiasso, Maicon...

Judging from the reputation of the players, Inter Milan players are not weaker than Barcelona.

It can even be said to be better!
In Barcelona's position, there are still one or two players who are not well-known.

In Inter Milan, almost every starting player has a background, either was a superstar or is now a superstar.

In the stands, when Inter Milan players are on the field, the fans' voices are much louder.

But this is not because of fame, but because this is the Bernabéu.

How could Real Madrid fans be on Barcelona's side?
Although both sides are La Liga teams, they are mortal enemies in the league, and there will be no such thing as a family of La Liga teams.

When the game started, something that everyone could have expected happened.

Inter Milan took the initiative to shrink the formation and gave up the ball to Barcelona.

Barcelona also immediately grabbed the ball and launched an attack on Inter Milan's defense.

The two extreme and opposing tactics made the game full of gunpowder from the beginning of the game.

Subsequently, the situation on the court made fans of both sides worry.

Inter Milan fans are worried because they are completely suppressed on the scene.

After 10 minutes, Barcelona had 70% possession of the ball!
In contrast, Inter Milan's ball possession rate is only about 30%, which is even lower than that of Barcelona!

Even if the possession rate is given up tactically, this number is too low.

The Barcelona fans also felt uncomfortable, not only because the opponent's counterattack was very fierce, but also because they thought that Inter Milan was holding on to the defense in the middle.

In the absence of Iniesta, Barcelona's ability to advance on the wing has declined a lot.

Although Pedro is also good, it is still a bit reluctant to say that he is a superstar now.

It is difficult to contribute from the side, and the center is strictly guarded. Barcelona seems to be attacking, but it has been unable to create a good chance to score.

Off the court, Guardiola keenly discovered the problem, and came to the sidelines to give instructions——

Slow down!

Can't be fast!
Barcelona and Arsenal are also representatives of offensive football, but the tactics of the two sides are still very different.

Arsenal's offense is very fast, and they can quickly break through the opponent's defense line with a few passes. It is a truly entertaining offensive football.

Guardiola's so-called offensive football has actually incorporated a lot of defensive football ideas in his bones.

For Guardiola, most of his tactics were shaped by the influence of Cruyff and Sacchi.

The former is the spokesperson of Total Defense, emphasizing possession of the ball after the Dream Team. The latter is the founder of the Milan dynasty and a master of typical Italian defensive tactics.

Guardiola combined the two and improved a tactic that uses ball possession as a means of defense.

When Barcelona slowed down the pace of the game, the fans were shocked to find that although Barcelona's possession of the ball was very smooth and exciting, they just watched sleepily.

The Inter Milan players did not dare to be careless. Every time a Barcelona player passed the ball, a limited number of people were dispatched to interfere.

The most important thing is not to let them play smoothly.

For this reason, even Li Ze has a heavy defensive task today!
