I brush achievements in football

However, in Ji Ya's view, such a so-called coup will become a big failure instead.

Mascherano joined Barcelona from Liverpool last season. As a defensive midfielder who performed well in Europe and could rank in the top five, he couldn't play in Barcelona-this is normal, after all, Barcelona's midfielder is too special Well, with the combination of Habaibu, not even Yaya Toure can squeeze in.

So Javier Mascherano started to play as a central defender, replacing the increasingly aging captain Puyol. The La Liga champions have made great contributions.

But after all, there is still a regular central defender Pique. Piqué can make up for Mascherano's slightly weaker position sense, and at the same time allow Mascherano's advantages to be better brought out.

And now?On Abidal, a player who mainly plays left back.

The two central defenders are not essentially playing central defenders.

That's easy as hell.

Don't think that Barcelona's tactics are based on ball possession and high-position pressing, so the central defender only needs to have good foot skills and be able to run and respond-this is definitely a misunderstanding. In fact, Guardiola's tactics require every player All very tall, especially the centre-backs.

So in the future, he will spend the most money at the central defender position in Manchester City.

Not only must you defend well, but you must also have good footwork and awareness, be able to pass the ball, be able to respond, and when defending, you must be able to calmly cut off the opponent's defense...

This is extremely demanding.

It's just that in Barcelona, ​​there was a midfielder like Habaibu and a striker like Messi, which concealed the fact that the defenders also had high requirements.

But Ji Ya saw this, so he began to be more determined, this game, he can surprise the whole world!

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Barcelona naturally launched an attack.

They didn't care too much, because their outstanding performance in the past few years has allowed them not to care about any opponents. As long as they play according to their accustomed rhythm of the game, they can win one after another.

This happens anytime.

Southampton's performance last season was surprising, but since the start of this season, their performance has obviously declined.

God sends such an opponent in front of him, that is to give him another champion.

The Barcelona players who thought this way started to attack.

Southampton's players spread out, running and intercepting.

Barcelona's offense is a little hindered, but they are not in a hurry, because as long as they continue to pass, there will always be opportunities.

Soon, Xavi took the ball in the midfield, Villa and Messi made a beautiful switch, Messi ran horizontally and took away Matuidi, Villa was about to run to the top of the arc... …

Harvey raised his foot and passed the ball before Vidal interfered!

The ball went straight to the top of the arc, and Villa ran to catch the ball. He had already thought about what to do next, took advantage of the trend, waded past the defender in front of him, and then he could shoot...

The shot near the top of the penalty area is also a place where Villa is very good at scoring.

But that was all he could think of.

Lovren took a step forward, and then grabbed the ball in front of Villa and destroyed it!

The ball flew near the middle circle, Giroud took off and headed the ball over Abidal's head.

Ronaldo turned around after taking the ball and got rid of Mascherano who came up. At this time, Barcelona's overall defense had begun to retreat, and their running was indeed very active.

This time it was Barcelona's turn to start pressing. Ronaldo passed the ball back to Vidal, who dribbled the ball to the right, and then passed it to Klein. His compatriot Adriano's defense, William began to forcibly go down the sidewalk!

Adriano is a full-back with a strong assist ability, but his defense is a bit weak. The two entangled all the way to a place close to the penalty area line. After William made an emergency stop, he passed the ball to Giroud who came up to meet him. Giroud turned around Playing the ball, Vidal who followed up took a long shot!

The ball roared to the front of the penalty area and hit Abidal's outstretched arm. The referee blew his whistle and took a free kick.

Ronaldo took the free kick and the ball went over the crossbar.

"Both sides had an attack at the beginning of the game! But the first official shot came from Southampton, and they played a good attack. But if you want to deal with Barcelona, ​​you can't rely on offense alone, but mainly rely on defense."

Some commentators commented that the past three years have proved that scoring goals against Barcelona is important, but it is even more important to let Barcelona score fewer goals.

And now everyone has not noticed anything wrong - the game has been very normal up to now, players from both sides have been attacking back and forth on the field, Southampton already has strength, and such a performance is not enough Surprised.

But what happened next is enough to make people feel strange.

Barcelona's offense has not been able to play a very good role for a long time to come!

Their passing is no longer smooth, and under such circumstances, their offense does not appear to be too threatening.

"It's unbelievable... Southampton relied on running and contained Barcelona's attack very well! Every Barcelona player has someone close behind him, and Messi is followed by Matuidi, the Frenchman Relying on my own running and strength, I tightly entangled my opponent!"

Countless narrators began to exclaim. After watching for 10 minutes, they almost saw the trick. Southampton adopted the most traditional man-marking tactics, but they performed it very thoroughly. One to one!

Giroud and Ronaldo stared at each other's two central defenders.

William retreated and followed Keita.

Vidal followed Xavi, Dembele followed Iniesta.

Matuidi followed Messi.

The two central defenders stared at each other's remaining two forwards, and the full-backs went up to press the opponent's two full-backs with strong assist capabilities.

One to one, regardless of the formation, just follow you.

This seems to be a superficial and amateur defensive method, but it is extremely effective because of their large amount of running!

It is difficult for Barcelona to organize an offense by passing, and the number of goals they conceded, compared with usual, is simply unbearable!

That is to say, their defense is really good now, otherwise just such a conceded goal would be enough to be beaten into a sieve.

Of course, the main reason is that under such pressure, Southampton's offense is also difficult to form a system, and can only rely on personal strength to launch the offense.

But there are many opportunities, and they can always be seized.
