The Ball at Your Feet

~: Section 693: The meaning of diving

Barcelona made such a choice, in fact, there is a bit of helplessness. Although they were behind in the first half of the game, their overall situation, in their own opinion, played well. Although Zhao Yaning played a good goal in front of Puyol, Barcelona had also been in the past few years. Not known for being impeccable defensively. It is easy to play against a strong team. Liverpool is not a weaker, and Zhao Yaning is an outstanding guy. If only a goal is behind, they can accept and wait. Up.

However, now Barcelona, ​​it is not a single ball turnover, but two goals behind. Valdez’s nonsense mistakes put Barcelona into a stalemate prematurely, and they had to speed up their offensive efforts. Sometimes, a low-level error is likely to cause the tragedy of an entire game, even a series, or even a season. Such a butterfly effect is very terrible.

And sending Iniesta was a change they had to make. Although they themselves knew very well, the consequence of doing so was to expose their back line of defense, and it was very possible to qualify for a variety of big players. Question, but even so, they really have no other choice.

However, Iniesta's playing did not change much of the situation. Liverpool pays great attention to his backcourt defense, and Sissoko did not have the opportunity to play because of many games. Now he desperately wants to show himself, and he also plays extremely well. In this game, his runs and steals are all let The Barcelona players have nothing to do, and at this time he naturally does not allow his opponents to take advantage of it.

Iniesta was replaced, but there is nothing unexpected: Barcelona's substitutes are only those few players, not Iniesta is Shang Giu Li, they did not have too many manpower. It is difficult to say whether Iniesta can make a good enough contribution.

Since his debut, Iniesta has always been considered a genius-and even the Spanish teammates who have worked with him in the national team are very positive about it.

Zhao Yaning knew that he knew it very early-Iniesta and Morientes were fellow villagers, and Morientes had mentioned him a long time ago. The player became famous in Spain at the age of 13. When faced with an interview, he said that the team he most wanted to play for was Real Madrid, but then he was signed by Barcelona. In this regard, Morientes was also deeply regretful at the beginning. He believed that Iniesta's strength was no worse than Zhao Yaning.

Of course, Zhao Yaning had doubts about this. After all, his strength is not easy to predict. And Iniesta, a player acquired by Barcelona as a genius since childhood, has grown up very well. Barcelona proved what a great decision that was. Iniesta, who they signed, fully used his genius side in the ensuing time.

Iniesta’s technique and sense of the ball are indeed extremely good. Even, if physical fitness is aside, his technique should be regarded as the best in Barcelona, ​​whether it is Ronaldinho. Still Messi, in this aspect of technology, can not be compared with him. Ronaldinho's dribbling action has gone from bad to worse after his transfer from Brazil to Europe, and even at the peak, he is extremely dependent on his excellent flexibility. Messi’s cadence is really too good. Most of the time he excels does not require fake moves, he can directly add one step. Therefore, the too natural kicking rhythm is too special, and it is for the further technical improvement. The carving is also less. In contrast, Iniesta's sense of the ball, technique, and ability to control the belt, purely in terms of skills, are indeed the best in Barcelona.

This is indeed an amazing genius.

But apart from the technical aspects, many of his disadvantages are natural. One thing is that his physical fitness is really not very good. The 17 player, besides the skill, the most important thing is the explosiveness and agility, otherwise, it is impossible to get rid of the opponent. As for Iniesta, he is just a person with poor explosive power. Although relying on skillful passing and receiving cooperation, he can more or less make up for some of the shortcomings of degree and agility, but no matter how to make up for this inherent problem, it is very Hard to fill. Physical defects will greatly affect a person's style of play.

Iniesta claims to be able to play the front midfielder and the wing, but in fact, he cannot play the wing. When he played on the wing, Barcelona always played in a mess, bullying and bullying the underdog is fine, but playing a strong team is bound to suffer. Players who have no explosive power basically rely on shaking and rhythm changes. Iniesta plays very well in the middle, but on the side, he can’t pass people by playing like this-he and the English-style genius It happens to be two extremes, and whichever has a big problem.

And besides, he has a bigger problem than his physical defect. It is his passing consciousness, which has a big problem.

Many people say that Iniesta is Barcelona's No. 4 inheritance and Xavi's successor. However, this statement is actually very difficult to achieve. Although Iniesta has a much stronger control technique than Harvey, his passing consciousness does not reach Harvey's level. Even, not to mention comparing with Xavi, even with Barcelona's rising star Messi, he also has some gaps.

Players who are good at dribbling must know when to pass, when to shoot, and when to continue to take the ball down. Although Messi’s pass does not have the excellent control of Harvey, nor Ronaldinho’s weird imagination and penetrating power, he should never take too much when passing the ball, and absolutely not when he should dribble. Random pass, this style of play, although it seems simple, but it embodies an extremely good golf quotient. Iniesta does not have this kind of consciousness. Sometimes he is too sticky, dribbling the ball until there is no chance, and then pass the ball-this kind of problem is naturally another huge reason that hinders his progress.

"After Iniesta played, the situation in Barcelona didn't improve much." Lineker also quickly saw this. "They are not playing more vigorously than the first half. Could it be said? , Barcelona’s second dream team, after a short year of glory, is it about to fall apart?"

Lineker would say this because at this time, Barcelona's offense can no longer continue.

Iniesta took the ball, and after a step forward, he gently moved the ball around with his right foot. His explosive power is not enough, and the power on his calf is not enough for him to have enough excellent power to complete a very large change of direction, or Matthews fake moves, ox tails and other actions, he can do, It's just such a small amount of shaking, relying on your own shaking to induce the opponent to grab, and then relying on your own rhythm to pass the opponent.

Such methods often have significant effects. There is no reason why players with good skills who rely on rhythm changes are considered to be the highest level of excellence. Such an extraordinary way does not hurt the body, it does little damage to oneself, and it can also mess up the opponent's rhythm. It has always been the most respected.

However, Sissoko's grab was indeed unexpectedly ferocious. The violent stealing ability of this **** man made Iniesta's small body unable to cope. He kicked the ball to Deco behind. Deco split the ball to the other side of Messi. Messi took the ball and tried to break through twice before returning without success.

In desperation, he could only choose a pass back, and Deco, who received the ball again, did not choose to attack again this time, but a pass back to Harvey.

However, at this time, Gerrard also rushed back. This time, he didn't give Harvey the room to turn around. He immediately grabbed the moment Harvey received the ball and kicked it over with a tackle.

In desperation, Harvey kicked the ball to Iniesta, who was in the running position. He knew that the pass was not good, and immediately thought of intercepting it.

Sure enough, at this time, Sissoko had already rushed up, tackled with one foot, and shoveled the ball right.

But at this time, Iniesta rolled to the ground with his legs in arms, and cried out in tears.

"It seems that Sissoko fouled..."

"Momo, what's the matter?" Zhao Yaning and Gerrard who ran over were a little strange. They knew Sissoko's defensive moves, but when Sissoko was defensive, they were also very accurate. They have seen Sissoko shovel people many times, but the fouls that cause injuries are rare.

"I didn't meet him..." Sissoko said without saying a word. Obviously, he wanted to say that Iniesta flopped. But such words are too ugly after all, his temper is unwilling to say such words.

"Are you talking about him flopping?" I don't know when, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes has already rushed to the front court and roared angrily. "He never flops, this is yours. foul!"

"How did you see the frontcourt when you were in the penalty area?" Zhao Yaning couldn't help but said, "The referee hasn't spoken yet, what are you yelling at?"

"I'm afraid that the referee will be influenced by you. Iniesta is a good boy. He never flops. You can't frame him!"

Zhao Yaning wanted to say something, but Alonso stopped Zhao Yaning: He understood. Where did Valdes see clearly what happened? His idea is one: relying on the enthusiasm of the crowd, put pressure on the referee, so that the referee does not dare to make a heavy sentence. Generally speaking, referees have the task of maintaining the normal progress of the game. Such fouls are of little significance. After Barcelona put pressure on the referees, the referees will naturally be slightly biased towards them: even the goalkeeper rushed forward. This kind of emotional irritability, if you don't give a little comfort, the next game will be more troublesome.

I can think of letting the goalkeeper go long distance to find the referee theory, so as to prove his anger, in exchange for the referee's care. Such an arrangement is really a pioneering work of talent.

After the referee came over, he still whistled Sissoko's foul, and then signaled Iniesta to get up. After all, this is the Nou Camp, and the midfielder's fall has nothing to do with penalty kicks, and the referee did not overstate the penalty.

"Sissoko's foul... the free kick in this place shouldn't be dangerous, but this attack was interrupted like this."

At this time Lineker stated the most important purpose of Barcelona's diving.

Such fouls seem to have no offensive significance. However, the defensive significance it brings can not be ignored.

Barcelona's defense line is weak, and the ability to block the opponent's counterattack is not good enough. If the opponent fights back quickly ~ lightnovelpub.net~ Barcelona is always difficult to stop the opponent with Xavi's blocking.

And how to stop the quick counterattack? They don't have a good enough midfielder, and the method they came up with can be considered ingenious-a fall.

Once a player falls, the game will naturally be suspended. Regardless of which side is responsible, at least at this time of the whistle, the game cannot continue.

It's just that, generally speaking, if you want to stop the game and prevent the game from going on normally, you rely on your own fouls. However, Barcelona did not have such a choice. They chose to fall, and then besieged the referee, in this way, to achieve the same effect as a tactical foul. If they were whistled and flopped, it was only the result of a tactical foul, and if they were not whistled, they would still be able to make money if the opponent was whistled. Coupled with their set of corresponding measures to besie referees, this method can be considered ingenious.

But, this is a football game after all. In a football game, I don’t think about how to make up for my tactical shortcomings, but relying on this unconventional method, or even a deceptive method, to make up for the shortcomings. Is it really good?

Is it a bit too ugly for a team that pretends to be artistic football but uses this method to play football? Is such a team really a dream team?
