I brush achievements in football

Keita once again conceded a goal in midfield.

Among these Barcelona players, he is now the worst. Although his strength is not weak, his skills are relatively rough. Under such high-quality oppression, it is still too difficult for him to perform.

So every time the ball reaches his feet, it is very difficult for him to get the ball, let alone transfer it.

After the ball was intercepted by Giroud again, the ball rolled out was taken by Vidal who went forward, and the Chilean midfielder immediately passed the ball to the front!

William ran laterally to get the ball, and before Mascherano could react, he raised the foot and passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area!

Ronaldo plugged in at high speed, shook off Abidal who had just turned around, and then received the ball at the front of the penalty area!

Valdez struck just in time, but Ronaldo quickly fired a ball past his armpit and into the Barcelona goal!

"One to zero! James Rodriguez! Wonderful cooperation! Southampton scored the first goal through the frontcourt pressing and a quick counterattack! Although a goal will not have any impact on Barcelona's results, But we should have seen what happened before the goal..."

"Southampton made Barcelona's offense unprecedentedly oppressed and difficult through running and close pressing! I have to say that I had never thought of this before, that I could use this method to deal with Barcelona, ​​or even if I thought of it, I would do it No, because this will consume a lot of physical energy of the players, can Southampton persist until the end of the game?"

The commentators from all walks of life began to show their attitudes. In fact, these commentators have a good vision and can see the practicality of this tactic-it is too difficult to do this before physical fitness generally improves.

Even if it's just for a while, it's hard.

First of all, the running system of the whole team must be guaranteed. It is still a normal formation at ordinary times. When it starts to press, it is necessary to find its own target.

When running, you must spare no effort to keep up with your target, otherwise if you miss one, the entire press may be invalid.

This is the biggest difficulty.

However, so far, Southampton has done this perfectly!

Barcelona's offense is indeed facing unprecedented difficulties.

Guardiola fell into deep thought on the coach's bench, and he couldn't help but glanced at Ji Ya from a distance.

He didn't care about Ji Ya before, after all, he is now the top head coach, and everyone is proud of defeating him, so why would he pay special attention to an unknown coach?

Unless he does the damage to Guardiola.

Just like now.

It was not this goal that caused the damage, but in the previous tactical confrontation, through running and pressing, it was almost impossible for Barcelona to play any threatening offense.

This surprised Guardiola very much.

Although he knows that his tactics will always be cracked, in the past three years, no one has been able to really crack his tactics. Before he estimated that he would retain at least five years of advantage, now it seems that the estimation is quite accurate .

But Southampton's performance made him realize that this day is likely to come earlier!

It takes a long time to create a sophisticated offensive system. Although Guardiola has brought forth the new through the old, inheriting the past and ushering in the future, he has shown the ability of a generation of masters, but it is also based on the years of development and training of Barcelona and Cruyff before him. On the basis of changing the team, his strategy implementation will definitely not be so smooth.

But it is often much easier to break.

Like now.

What Southampton did is actually not uncommon. It was nothing more than strengthening running, pressing, cutting off Barcelona's passing route, and reducing their passing space.

The basis of Barcelona's tactics is possession of the ball.

When their possession of the ball cannot be played well, it is difficult for their offense to achieve really good results.

This is a big question.

Similarly, under such circumstances, their offense can only go the old way - relying on the personal ability of the stars to launch the offense!

Fortunately, there is no shortage of such stars in their formation.

In the 308th minute of the game, Harvey and Iniesta passed consecutive midfield passes. Iniesta passed Dembele beautifully, and then passed the ball to Harvey. Harvey sent a precise through ball. Messi accelerated to get rid of Matuidi in an instant, then shook continuously after he caught up, broke through Matuidi's defense again, broke into the penalty area, faced the attacking Navas, and calmly pushed the far corner to score!

The Barcelona fans at the scene gave out huge cheers, Messi never let them down!

Guardiola didn't seem very happy, because he knew that this goal was purely a flash of inspiration from Barcelona's most outstanding top players, and this kind of performance was not something they could just hit... …

His tactic is to make the offense of the whole team more sustainable and not rely on the performance of a certain star, but now, he still has to go back to the old road.

For a coach like Guardiola, such a situation makes him more uncomfortable than falling behind.

But now he can only acquiesce to the team's doing this, otherwise, the entire team's offense will be completely useless.

And the style of play that has been persisted for three years is deeply ingrained. If they want to change a new tactical style of play immediately, how is that possible?

Even if Guardiola completes the adjustment in the midfield, it is basically impossible.

Not only Guardiola knows this, but even the commentators basically see it.

Of course, no one knows whether Southampton can last until the end of the game.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, the fans of both sides in the stands breathed a sigh of relief-this kind of game is actually a kind of torture for them, and the Barcelona fans are uncomfortable because their team has not been able to Good game, Southampton fans are uncomfortable because they always feel that their team will collapse in the next moment...

It can also be regarded as a person who knows whether drinking water is warm or cold.

Everyone else was very excited.

Whether it was the other coaches watching the game or the commentators, they all noticed something from the middle.

"I seem to feel that the collapse of a dynasty has begun."

"Maybe Southampton still can't beat Barcelona, ​​but their performance in the first half alone is enough for other teams to see the hope and possibility of defeating Barcelona."

"If their players were stronger, they might have defeated Barcelona in the first half."

"I don't know if all this was arranged by the head coach named Kiya. Anyway, Southampton has done what no other European giants have done in the past three years!"
