[football] walk side by side

The Chelsea players were relatively calm.

For Barcelona, ​​Chelsea can be regarded as familiar once and twice, not to mention that the two sides have been entangled with each other for nearly five or six years.The media is right, in terms of hard power, Chelsea is really not Barcelona's opponent.But things like football, in many cases, not every step, every process, can be accurately derived.

This is especially true for two well-connected teams like Chelsea and Barcelona.

Iniesta knocked the football lightly, and Villa received the ball back, and Xavi received the ball in the midfield.

Barcelona did not play a swift attack at the beginning. Although this is indeed what they are good at, considering the importance of the final, the style of the whole team is still based on stability to avoid conceding goals at the beginning.On the other hand, it is also habitual to use the ball to pull the players into the state as soon as possible, so that the game enters their own rhythm.

And Chelsea...

"In this game, Chelsea have always adhered to their usual style of play - frenzied pressing in the frontcourt, and building a chain defense layer by layer in the backcourt. It seems that the two sides are about to launch a difficult battle." Martin Taylor said.

Iniesta watched Chelsea's defensive strategy intently.

So far, the game has shown nothing unexpected.Barcelona is still based on possession of the ball, with a solid defense as the bottom line, step by step trying to pull Chelsea into their rhythm.Chelsea's also has the same characteristics it has always had.

Those things that Mourinho brought to Chelsea in the first place, even after four years of Mourinho's departure, have gone around in the middle, and they have once again appeared in today's Chelsea.

The team under Mourinho has a very obvious feature: that is, their defense is always holistic.

It’s not that you don’t need to participate in defense if you are a striker or a midfielder. Even if you are a noble striker, in Mourinho’s tactics, you often need to do some dirty work on defense. Drogba It is a typical example. Although Warcraft is an important offensive point in Chelsea's frontcourt, when he presses up in the frontcourt, his effect will not be inferior to that of a defender like Terry.

Slade continued to guard the position of the midfielder.

Iniesta understands that, as Martin Taylor said, in this game, Chelsea is determined to play a defensive counterattack, but even if it is a defensive counterattack, this Chelsea team is obviously still focused on defense.

As more and more midfielders are recognized, today's media experts have figured out the common effect of organizing midfielders in the team: if we talk about offensive football, the midfielder in the midfielder position is the soul , then the defensive counterattack is the soul of the player in the front waist position.

Slade's position shifting back will certainly reduce Chelsea's offensive ability to a certain extent, but it can greatly improve Chelsea's defensive strength and thickness, avoiding premature conceding goals and making Chelsea passive in the game.

And that's what makes Iniesta so upset.

Chelsea is familiar with Barcelona's style of play, why is Barcelona not familiar with Chelsea?Defensive counterattack, defensive counterattack, as long as Chelsea will try to come out and counterattack, then Barcelona is not afraid of not having a chance.But the problem now is that at this moment, Chelsea is clearly putting defense first. For a while, it will be difficult for Iniesta to find anything to take advantage of.

Iniesta was actively passing and running, and quickly determined the current strategy.

If there is no opportunity, then use the continuous onslaught to create an opportunity!It is impossible for Chelsea's defense to maintain such a dense and rigorous level throughout the game, and under Barcelona's fierce attack, even Chelsea may find it difficult to defend for too long.

In the 5th minute of the game, Barcelona took the first shot. After taking the ball, Xavi broke through to the front of the penalty area, and then passed it to Villa. The latter's shot in the middle was directly blocked by Terry.

Less than 2 minutes later, Barcelona made a comeback again. After Busquets stole the ball and went through a series of inversions in the midfield, he suddenly made a long pass and distributed the ball to the wing. Iniesta, who got the ball, quickly dribbled the ball Going forward, he sent the football to Pedro, who was unmarked in the frontcourt, after he made a wall-slamming pass with Messi. Out of line.

As time passed by every minute and every second, Barcelona's ball possession time and the number of passes began to increase significantly. Correspondingly, Chelsea's ball possession rate dropped sharply. Tried three dangerous shots in front of Chelsea's goal.

Everything is familiar to the fans and belongs to Barcelona.

It is not without reason that Iniesta immediately made this seemingly brainless attack strategy after realizing the predicament in the defense line.Since Barcelona ruled the world in 2009, Barcelona's offensive style of play has also been widely known in the world. Facing Barcelona's offense, many teams have chosen to counterattack with defensive counterattacks.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this style of play, because long before that, there were countless teams that tried to play against Barcelona and died tragically at the feet of the Cosmos team-didn't Mourinho just try to play against Barcelona? Ordinarily played offensive football, so that led to the tragic score of 5-0?

But the question is-can the defensive counterattack really stop Barcelona?

Counting the teams that have encountered Barcelona in La Liga and the European Champions Cup in recent years, which team didn't start to put up buses and iron barrels in front of the goal after learning how to behave?

But what about the fact?

In 2010, Inter Milan played a frenzied 9-0-1 at Camp Nou. After Mota suffered a red card, Mourinho simply changed the formation to 9-0-0, and the corresponding What's more, even Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez stood on the center line, ready to kick off to Inter Milan's restricted area.

Many fans who watched the game couldn't help sighing: Barcelona is simply playing in the penalty area of ​​Inter Milan!

However, even Inter Milan, which was the world's number one in terms of defensive counterattack at that time, although they advanced smoothly, they could not avoid the fate of being scored by Barcelona. They also lost 1-0 to the Nou Camp.

Barcelona is not afraid of the iron barrel at all, because over the years, they have trampled to death countless teams that drove the bus in front of the goal.

Can the Chelsea team in front of me really stop Barcelona's attack?

Iniesta didn't think about this issue, and the ever-changing situation on the field made him unable to distract himself from thinking about the possibility. All he had to do was to believe——

For Barcelona right now...nothing is impossible!

Time is in the form of numbers, constantly moving on the scoreboard hanging high above the stadium. Powell and Chelsea fans sang the Chelsea team anthem together. The advantage of the "home court" made them occupy the entire stadium with their voices. The scene on the screen made the hearts of Chelsea fans tremble.

seven times.

In less than 10 minutes of the opening, Barcelona attempted seven successful shots on target, threatening shots!

Like every previous game, Barcelona's advantage in ball possession rate was also brought to the extreme. Most of the time, Chelsea fans could only watch the football pass under the feet of the Barcelona players, and then again One attack towards Chelsea's goal!

If Terry's reaction was slower, if Cech even made a mistake in saving, then the current score on the field may have already been rewritten by Barcelona!

Barcelona's attack continues.

However, in the face of such a fierce attack from Barcelona, ​​Chelsea seemed to only have the energy to barely hold up the defense, and they were completely unable to attack.

How can Chelsea fans not panic?

Just as the expression on Di Matteo's face became more serious, Mourinho, who was sitting next to Abramovich in the box above the stands at Wembley Stadium, had a gleam of understanding on his lips. smile.

Abramovich was still anxious because of the situation on the court, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Mourinho with a relaxed expression, and immediately frowned slightly: "What are you laughing at?"

This is not because Abramovich deliberately found fault with Mourinho in terms of language-in fact, as early as when Mourinho first coached Inter Milan, the relationship between the two has been repaired to a certain extent. At the Acha Stadium, Abramovich also delivered the commemorative 612 Scaglietti (Note) series sports car that he promised Mourinho to "purchase" directly to Mourinho.

If not, Abramovich would not have invited Mourinho to his box to watch the game together.

Mourinho didn't mean to explain to Abramovich, he just smiled slightly and didn't speak.

It has to be said that seeing Mourinho's mentality at this time, even Abramovich couldn't help but relax a lot-he understands that Mourinho is not the kind of person who gloats, and even if he is, it will not be aimed at Chelsea.Since Mourinho showed such an expression at this moment, it means that he has a lot of confidence in Chelsea at this time.

When he realized this, Abramovich couldn't help feeling some complicated emotions in his heart. He thought about the contract between Mourinho and Real Madrid, hesitated for a while, said nothing, and turned his attention back to the court.

At the same time, Cyril, who was standing in the position of the back midfielder, also lowered his head. While turning his head to continue to consolidate his defense, he had a thoughtful expression on his face.

From the opening to the 25th minute of the current game, the situation of the game can be described as Barcelona's onslaught around Chelsea's goal, but for Chelsea players, there is no emotion like the fans.

Perhaps only the Chelsea players themselves understand that Chelsea looks dangerous under Barcelona's attack, but in fact it is like an extremely strong dam, firmly blocking every rush that tries to break through!

And now...

Cyril, who had gradually figured out the offensive strategy of Barcelona players in the constant passing and running, let out a breath and showed a shallow smile.

It turned out to be the case.

The author has something to say: Note: The Ferrari that Abramovich gave Uncle Psy is the only four-seater sports car in the world. It is 200 million pounds but limited to 60. Only famous people in the world can own it. After the two broke up (?), Abramovich never mentioned it. Later, after Grant lost the League Cup, he sent the car to Uncle Psy, who had just arrived in Milan, the next day.

The relationship between the two has actually been mending since the early days when Uncle Bird taught Inter Milan.

ps I... the outline has always been rather sloppy, and I don’t know what the game process is like if I don’t write it out, so I may revise the previous text when I haven’t saved the manuscript. etc.

Near the end of the period, there is no manuscript to save, and it is a bit difficult to double-up. Recently, the review is really frustrating, quq, I will try my best to see if I can double-update while ensuring the daily update...

Still thank you for your landmines and nutrient solution~ However, the goose dormitory website is still not good, so I won’t post it here, everyone! =3=
