Chapter 128 Countermeasures
Empathized with Pique, many players present nodded silently after listening to his speech.

For them, this memory is not pleasant!

As Pique fell silent, the atmosphere at the scene became a little dull.

In order to boost the morale of the players, Rangnick cleared his throat and made a thick voice.

"Everyone! Barcelona is a club with a history of more than 120 years. As one of the three clubs in La Liga that have never been relegated, it has a very glorious past!"

"In Barcelona's medal showroom, it is full of championship trophies from various competitions!"

"Indeed, due to personnel changes and economic problems in recent years, the club's performance in terms of athletic performance has not been as strong as before."

"But! In the current low period, you who are the pillars of the team, everyone here, should shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the club!"

Rangnick spoke very slowly, and he hoped that every player on the field could understand every word he said.

"A hypocritical support is born at the peak, and a devout believer is witnessed at dusk!"

"Everyone, at this moment, I hope that everyone can work together to let the red and blue flags fly high on the green field!"

"I am very eager to see that everyone here can leave their own strong strokes in the club's century-old history!!"

Rangnick's words are very contagious.

I don't know who took the lead, but everyone applauded in unison.

Looking at the glint in the players' eyes, Rangnick knew in his heart that the first half of today's preparation meeting had achieved the effect he wanted.

After the psychological construction is completed, the next step is naturally the team's tactical analysis.

"OK!"

"Next, let's talk about our next opponent, Manchester United!"

The data analyst beside Rangnick has been waiting for a long time.

Noticing Rangnick's gesture, he turned on the huge monitor in the conference room.The above just shows the data and charts that he has painstakingly prepared for a long time.

"Everyone, please pay attention!"

Rangnick pointed to the monitor screen, motioning the players to focus on it.

"Under coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United's most commonly used tactical system is 4-2-3-1. It is a slightly defensive formation, but Manchester United's offensive ability on the two wings is very strong!"

Picking up the laser pointer next to his hand, Rangnick drew two circles on the Manchester United formation map, and the circles happened to be the two Manchester United wingers.

"The number of goals scored in these two positions accounted for more than 80% of the Manchester United team. This is a very terrifying statistic!"

"So, in the next games, our defensive focus will mainly revolve around these two points."

Rangnick tapped the screen with his hand, and a form popped up.

"As you can see, this is the statistics of Manchester United's personnel in these two positions."

"Greenwood, Rashford, Martial, Sancho, Lingard, etc., Manchester United has very abundant manpower options in the two wing positions. Even in rare cases, Solskjaer Ya will let Pogba comeo as a winger!"

"Different players have different technical styles, and the offensive methods they choose will also be different. This has brought a great test to our defensive work!"

Having said that, Rangnick paused for a few seconds, and he looked at every player in the conference room.

Everyone concentrated and looked serious.

Everyone understood that next, Rangnick would start talking about his countermeasures.

"So, we must be cautious in our defense on the two sides!"

"Alba, Durst, you two must always pay attention to the space behind you during the game!"

"The speed of any Manchester United winger is not slow. Once the opponent asks for the ball behind us, our defense will be hit hard immediately!!"

"At home, in the position of your two full-backs, if you are faced with a choice between offense and defense, I hope you can choose a more conservative option!"

While speaking, Rangnick drew two oblique arrows moving inward at the two winger positions.

"In Manchester United's tactical system, their full-backs are more accustomed to choosing an inward attack method. Their attack on the side line, they like to hand over the two full-backs, Luke Shaw and Wan-Bissaka, to complete!"

"So when defending the position, our two full-backs must pay attention to the full-backs on the same side. When Manchester United's full-backs attack, your duty is to follow them closely!"

Rangnick looked at the young Qin Ming and Pedri, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes, which flashed past.

Although he didn't make it clear, but if nothing else, these two young people will soon become the two starting full-backs in Barcelona's next game.

"Manchester United's strikers are very good at penetrating the back line. They are very good at penetrating the space between the full-backs and the central defenders!"

"So, our full-backs and central defenders, please control the distance between you and your teammates, and stay awake at all times!"

"Pique, as the captain of the team, you must always remind your teammates to ensure the integrity of the defense!"

Rangnick's request made Pique feel a lot of pressure, he nodded with a very serious expression.

"I see, Mr. Rangnick!"

Sensing the slightly oppressive atmosphere in the conference room, Rangnick also changed the subject.

"Of course, our opponent from the Premier League is not without weaknesses!"

"Next, everyone can relax a little bit, because our pressure on the offensive end may be much less!"

Tapping the screen lightly with his finger, Rangnick switched to another form.

"This is the statistic of Manchester United on the defensive end. Strictly speaking, their performance on the defensive end is a bit poor!"

"We can see that although they averaged 2.1 goals per game, they also conceded 1.4 goals per game!"

"The average number of goals conceded is close to one and a half, which means that they have a big loophole in defense!"

Rangnick turned the screen, and a video began to play on the screen, which is a collection of goals conceded by Manchester United this season.

The video was not long, and within 10 minutes, the screen went dark.

Looking at the thoughtful players in front of him, Rangnick continued:

"In the video just now, I think everyone discovered that most of Manchester United's conceded goals came from their two wings!"

"Their two full-backs, especially like to go up and follow. This means we can use the space behind them and create a lot of chances!!"

"Qin! In this game, your stage is very big!!"

"I am looking forward to your performance!!!"
