v3 Chapter 753: Midfielder has the upper hand

Josep Guardiola looked at Eto'o who was running on the sidelines. Although he evened the score for the team, he didn't like him very much.

At the beginning of the season, when Guardiola first took office, in a training session, according to his tactics in the midfield and frontcourt diamond positioning method, Guardiola asked Eto'o to run according to his own understanding. I did not expect a distinctive and very strong cheetah Straightforward to him: Are you OK? At that time the scene was very embarrassing.

Afterwards, Eto'o said: "Pep was not a great player in the past, he can only be regarded as a good good player. And he is still a midfielder, I am now the best striker in football, how can he Guide me where to go?"

Two things have to be said. In the world of football, teaching a top striker to run is a denial of players. This is indeed a great disrespect. But in the coach's tactical system, anyone should cooperate with the coach, otherwise it will only be abandoned.

But Guardiola can't abandon Eto'o because he really can score, and Barcelona's strike line is still inseparable from him.

This incident has caused great damage to Guardiola's prestige in the locker room. Although the team's outstanding performance this season has given him enough confidence, and Eto'o has a hard time, he still gives Guardiola a face in action. In particular, in the second half of the season, the number of times he took the initiative to pull the edge increased significantly, giving Messi more space to move behind him. But the gap between them has never been closed.

To be honest, Guardiola didn't see the subtlety of Zhuoyang's pass to Kaka's diagonal plug a few minutes ago. Of course, he would not think that the responsibility for losing the ball was Messi who failed to catch Kaka. In Guashuai’s tactical philosophy, football has no unbreakable defense. The best way to improve the quality of defense is to control the ball, control the football under your feet, and reduce the time spent holding the ball, which naturally reduces the opponent. Offensive probability and efficiency.

Therefore, when Barcelona's continuous shot of'tikitaka' kicks, it is defending even when looking for an offensive opportunity. In this way, no matter how reluctant you admit, Barcelona's tactics are actually another kind of defensive counterattack.

And what controls Barcelona's rhythm from defensive ball control to offensive ball control is the team's brain Xavi Hernández Creus.

In the 1998-99 season, Barcelona midfielder core and captain Josep Guardiola truce for most of the season due to injury. After he recovered from injury next year, he found that he had lost the team's main position, and Harvey, 20, became a brand new controller on the court. So, Guardiola, 30, left Barcelona and retired after five years of wandering.

At the age of 20, Harvey forced Guardiola away, but it was only at the age of 29 that he regained his absolute main position. In the later stage of Rijkaard's coaching, Jie Shuai appreciated and trusted Portuguese Deco, and Harvey must share the opportunity to play with Deco.

In the UEFA Champions League final with Fort Maddie in 2006, Harvey dried up on the bench for ninety minutes. After the game, the media also attributed this to one of the main reasons for Barcelona's defeat to Fort Madi, but in fact, Deco performed very well in that game, and it caused a huge restriction to Zhuo Yang in the midfield. It's because of God's favor, because of character.

With Guardiola's entry into Barcelona last year, Harvey ushered in a turning point. Not only did he not venge his memory, but Harvey's rise forced him away, but he greatly appreciated Harvey's style, and he also trusted Lamarcia. Barcelona's lineage. Deco was sold to Chelsea at a low price, and Barack and Lampard formed the most famous midfielder Iron Triangle in the Premier League, and Harvey became the brain of the stadium in Barcelona again.

.

Today Harvey's main opponent on the court is Pirlo. Both Sleepy and Harvey are very big to each other. In fact, Ancelotti's midfield of ‘five 10s’ that came out today made Guardiola very surprised, because now facing Barcelona without a full-time defensive midfielder is really incredible.

In Guardiola's estimation, AC Milan will at least send Flamini and Gattuso to lock the midfielders. When he got the list, Gattuso was surprised to start the game without starting. Finding that Flamini actually played the left back made him wonder how to deal with it.

Ann Fat gave up football to deal with Barcelona's most commonly used double defensive midfielder or even triple midfielder, is trying to fight the ball with opponents, and in the face of Barcelona's very effective midfield and frontcourt squad, five No. 10 can become an offensive Organizer, so you can't be surrounded.

Ancelotti said: The formation is not allowed, otherwise I will also put Seedorf on the plate, hum, six No. 10, I will not scare you!

In the 20th minute, Harvey hung out a small high ball, and Henry rushed to the top of the goal. In 23 minutes, Pirlo tore a pass and Inzaghi's shot was confiscated by Valdes.

In the 30th minute, Harvey took a corner kick on the left side and Eto'o scored a header 8 meters in front of the goal. He arranged 6 of Barcelona's first 8 shots. In the 36th minute, Beckham knocked down Iniesta, and Harvey took a free kick 28 meters from the door on the left. Unfortunately, it was slightly higher than the near corner.

A minute later, Pirlo immediately relied on the color. He picked Zhuo Yang in the penalty area and Puyol performed a thrilling'Scorpion Swing'. Crisis situation.

Neither Pirlo nor Harvey are the top defensive midfielders, but they are also defensive masters of brown sugar technology. In recent years, although Milan and Barcelona have played very few games, the Italian and Spanish national teams are old opponents, and they are also old friends. In the national team, because of the overall disadvantage of midfield strength, Pirlo is basically in the face of Harvey.

Ancelotti also understood that the Italian national team's use of traditional double midfielders could not contain Spain based on Barcelona's play. This was a deliberate play of the'five 10'.

In the national team, Pirlo was faced with Spain. Although today and Harvey still cannot completely restrict each other, compared with the national team, Milan's Pirlo has more points to attack.

In the 43rd minute, Pirlo took advantage of his height of 7 cm, grabbed his elbow and pressed Harvey, and looked at the timing to give the football to Zhuo Yang who was roundabout. Seeing Zhuo Yang holding his football to bear his love, Sleepy opened his elbow with Harvey's breath: it was not easy.

Zhuo Yang is even more difficult. He not only needs to be Messi’s first barrier on defense, but also has to face Busquets and Puyol on offense, especially the Pu team. The monster in the same realm.

Even if the brains were quickly turned and smoked, and after all the twists and turns to return to such an ideal position, Zhuo Yang still failed to completely get rid of Puyol, and the Barcelona captain desperately squeezed him from the side and back. Although he was nearly 10 centimeters lower, Puyol did not lose his weight to Zhuo Yang, and he had the upper hand in terms of pure upper limb strength.

Zhuo Yang knew that Busquets would come up for another second, and Yaya Touré would come up in two more seconds. So, he waited for three seconds.
