Chapter 67 Victory over Elche

或许是上一场变阵4-2-4的胜利给科曼带来了勇气,他对自己这套3-4-1-2的新战术体系,十分笃信。

Although during the training process, the effect of the new tactical system was not good.

But as the match day approached, Koeman still showed no signs of changing his mind.

And what made Qin Ming most uncomfortable was that after the last unpleasant conversation with Coman, his playing time in the main group became shorter and shorter.

After the last training session before the competition, as expected, what Qin Ming was most worried about happened.

Koeman confirmed that in the next game against Elche, he will use a 3-4-1-2 formation. The starting midfielder position will be played by Pedri, and Qin Ming will return to the bench to stand by.

Hearing Coman's decision, Qin Ming could only shake his head depressingly.

Fake!

The devil knows how difficult it is to start the game!

Changes without warning, position adjustment without warning.

Without even knowing the reason, Qin Ming, who was in a hot state, had to return to the bench.

Alas, it is really difficult to play in Barcelona!
Although no one said it out loud, apart from Qin Ming, the other players also had some thoughts in their hearts.

Although Alba was assigned to the position of the main left wing back, he actually didn't like this arrangement.

Compared with full-backs, wing-backs have higher requirements for players' athletic ability.

In the 3-4-1-2 formation, without the assistance of the winger, the winger needs to pay more for the offense and defense on the side line.

Alba is 32 years old this year, and his physical function has begun to decline.

Still, he's one of the best left backs.

So as long as he is not injured, he is basically in a state of non-stop throughout the year.

The club's third-tier competition and the Spanish national team's European Cup have made him feel tired.

Now he just wants to lie down safely, and doesn't want to pursue any breakthroughs in technical and tactical abilities.

Alba's mentality is also reflected in other Barcelona players.

Although Barcelona has vigorously cleaned up many older players in recent seasons, there are still many veterans in the team.

These former feats are now backlashing against Barcelona in a way invisible to the naked eye.

If the team wants to remain competitive, it must continue to get new students.

While all freshmen start with change, these veterans are staunch opponents of change.

Therefore, Barcelona's changes always make people feel that they come too slowly.

However, no matter what ghosts are harbored in everyone's heart, the game will always come as scheduled.

Against Elche at home, Barcelona ushered in the last game of 2021!
The weather was cold and windy, although there was no rain or snow, there were not many spectators.

The attendance rate of the huge Camp Nou is pitifully low. Looking around, only 20% of the area is flying red and blue.

However, this pitifully small audience of more than 2 spectators is also difficult for Elche players to see at their home court.

The desolation in the auditorium seemed to make the DJs at home a little bit less interested.

With his innocuous "game start", the two sides officially entered the game state.

"Hey, Puyol! Koeman changed his lineup in this game. Qin, who is in hot form recently, did not appear on the starting list. What do you think of this matter?"

As Christmas approaches, Puyol plans to take a good rest in Spain after visiting Busquets.

Coincidentally this time, he was invited to watch the Barcelona game live at the Nou Camp and served as a guest commentator for the event.

"Qin is a young man with very good potential. Even in a club like Barcelona, ​​he is worthy of a starting spot! But football is like this. For the team's tactical system and for the final victory, everyone needs to do something. sacrifice!"

Through the glass window of the observation deck, Puyol could see Qin Ming sitting on the bench.

Despite the distance, Puyol could still feel Qin Ming's loss in the mist.

"I believe everyone must still remember a name, Juan Mata! I used to be teammates with him in the Spanish national team. His excellent foot skills and wide passing vision left a deep impression on me at the time. .”

Competitive game commentators need to keep interacting with the audience at all times.

Obviously, Puyol is very suitable for this role.After the game started, his mouth never stopped.

"Sure enough, he later achieved great success at Chelsea! But with Mourinho in charge, everything changed. In Mourinho's tactical system, Mata, who is not physically strong, needs to take on more This makes him who is better at assists exhausted. He has never been able to integrate into the new tactical system, and he can only leave Manchester United in the end!"

"Qin, the current situation of this young man is very similar to that of Mata!"

Puyol's words are hidden in the needle. Although there is no clear emotional expression, it also expresses many things implicitly.

He compared Qin Ming with Mata, indicating that he believed that Qin Ming had the potential to grow into a world-class star.

Similarly, comparing Koeman with Mourinho shows that he is somewhat dissatisfied with Koeman.

After all, there are previous unpleasant experiences, and the old Barcelona players are basically indifferent to Mourinho.

In Puyol's view, the team's tactical iteration is a normal thing.

But as a coach, when making a tactical plan, you need to consider the configuration of the players, not the fantasy.

Forcing the players under his command to play a position that is not suitable for him can only be called the strongman!
Although most people are not optimistic about Koeman's tactical innovation, Elche's on-the-spot performance really gave Koeman support.

From the very beginning of the game, Elche showed their traditional style -

Weak at home, weaker away!

Nearly halfway through the season, Elche didn't score many points in total, and basically all of them were won at home.

They haven't won any away games so far, and even a tie is very difficult.

Coming to the Nou Camp today, they did not show any desire to resist.

Not long after the opening, Barcelona easily opened the gate of Elche by virtue of Araujo's high jump from the corner kick.

After taking the lead, Barcelona's offensive lineup played more proactively.

Facing the weak Elche, Depay and Aguero turned into ECO killers, let go of their hands and feet, and rushed back and forth!

In just a few rounds, Barcelona took a 3-0 lead by relying on the mutual passing of Depay and Aguero.

Such a gratifying tactical effect has greatly increased Koeman's confidence.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Koeman made three substitutions in one go.

Phuket for Pedri, Mingosa for Pique, Dembele for Durst.

The formation remains the same, continue to work hard!
Dembele, at the right wingback position, has an infinite sprint space, and his extremely fast characteristics are fully displayed.

However, lack of defensive awareness, he also left a huge hidden danger to the defensive end.

However, Elche just wanted to hurry up and get off work in this game. In the process of counterattacking many times, he lost the ball after a few inversions, which did not pose the slightest threat to Barcelona.

Towards the end of the game, after Barcelona's fancy toss, Phuket scored with a long shot from the front of the penalty area.

In the final game of 2021, Barcelona won a 4:0 victory at home!
