Chapter 236: Barcelona Infighting?
Chapter 236 Barcelona infighting?
What strategy will Enrique adopt?
In fact, Enrique does not have many options, because Barcelona's players are basically "special actors".
With Barcelona's midfield configuration, it is basically a joke to let them form a muscular midfield to play counter-attack, which is simply attacking the opponent's strengths with their own shortcomings.
So for Enrique, all he has to do is play to Barcelona's strengths.
What are the strengths of Barcelona?
It is estimated that if you ask this question to ten fans, nine people will answer it - ball control.
And the other fan who answered something else was a pseudo-fan nine times out of ten.....
That's right, Barcelona's strength is possession, and every one of their players has good passing footwork, and they can slowly reverse the ball at the back for the first half of the game.
"We have to be patient!"
This was repeatedly emphasized by Enrique at the tactical meeting in Barcelona.
A lot of people associate Barcelona with words like 'flamboyant' and 'attacking football', but in fact, when you actually see a Barcelona team that is slow to play in central midfield, you will never think of these words.
Enrique is now also asking Barcelona to be utilitarian – and who's to say possession of the ball isn't utilitarian.
You know, possession tactics can be used to defend - when the ball is at the feet, the opponent will naturally not be able to attack. Therefore, Enrique asked the team to be patient and control the ball first, in fact, he wanted the team to defend first and not rush to attack.
"We have to be prepared to compete with them patiently!"
Enrique's words are very high-spirited, but the actual content is to disappoint fans who expect this game to be a good head-to-head battle.
In the eyes of most neutral fans, the two teams have Li Qingshan on one side and Messi on the other, both of whom are superstars in the front line, and I am afraid that these two teams will give full play to their attacking advantages in the game.
.....
Enrique is working on how to deal with Manchester United and Carlo Ancelotti is also looking at how to deal with Barcelona.
In fact, he didn't know what strategy Enrique would use in the final.
But Carlo Ancelotti also knows roughly what are the characteristics of Barcelona.
For the front trident of Barcelona.
Neymar!
Suarez!
Messi!
The pace and skill of the trio will definitely make the Reds defence fearful, and Ancelotti will not dare to press the team against such a superstar attacking line.
Giving these three players plenty of space at the back is undoubtedly quite terrifying!
Therefore, when Ancelotti deals with this problem, he will also choose the most beneficial way for his side.
"We need to think about attacking again when we have a solid defense!"
Ancelotti said this at the meeting.
Whatever strategy Barcelona choose, it is always possible to defend solidly.
The final made Carlo Ancelotti extremely cautious.
There is a saying called the final no-name game, maybe that's the reason.
Both sides do not dare to take risks easily, and will choose the safest way to play.
Enrique's side chose to let the team now fall to the back to see the situation, and Ancelotti simply let the team shrink to the back to play defensive counter-attack.
Both teams are choosing the most utilitarian way to finish the game!
Of course, this kind of game will not be easy to see, but in front of the champion, what is the scene?
Ancelotti wasn't a utilitarian, but he wasn't an idealist either.
If I had to position him, he was a realist.
After the tactics were decided, the team began to follow the plan in an orderly manner.
......
As the time of the game drew closer, the training of both sides also deepened.
And it is becoming more and more difficult for the media and fans to hear the news and pictures of the training of the anti-dumping and anti-dumping forces.
Even without watching the calendar, people know it – the time for the Champions League final is getting closer!
The promotional video of this game was released more than a week ago.
Officially-produced, produced by major sponsors, produced by many TV stations, and produced by fans themselves.
In these many promotional videos, people show all the expectations for this game.
Of course, one would hope that it would be a good game, with the two teams battling each other and the scores alternating between them...
So these promotional videos make the picture extremely gorgeous, just like a Hollywood blockbuster.
The enthusiasm of the media and fans is so high, but if they know the plans of the two teams, I am afraid that a mouthful of blood will spurt out....
......
The tension before the final also seemed to carry over to the training ground.
Especially Barcelona!
On 31 May, Barcelona arrived in Cardiff City, where they borrowed the training base of Cardiff City FC.
Perhaps it was the borrowed training base that made Barcelona's secrecy measures not done well, so when the English media went to shoot Barcelona's training pictures through various channels.
The weather in the UK is nice these days, and the sun has been shining on the British Isles for a week in a row, which is a rare occurrence in the UK.
The scorching sun shone on the people overhead, making the Barcelona players who were training in full swing seem a little bored.
And for Barcelona, the pressure on them is really, really high.
If you don't win this title, this season's big four will be empty, but it is difficult for Barcelona fans to accept.
It's also something that is very difficult for the Barcelona players to accept!
The well-developed media in England made Barcelona dare not do any tactical training at all, and they knew that after coming to England, it would be difficult to do any closed training.
Paparazzi are everywhere, and they are not like Manchester United.
Although the final will take place at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff City, Wales is also part of the United Kingdom, where Manchester United is half home.
At least Manchester United don't have to go to Cardiff City early like Barcelona did.
Moreover, Manchester United's closed trainers are really closed training, and no paparazzi can sneak into Carrington's training base to plot misconduct.
Barcelona came to the UK with nothing to hide, but the paparazzi made them much bigger than they imagined!
On June 1st, just three days before the competition, a short video began to go viral on social media sites!
In a training session, Barcelona player Cillessen tackled Neymar!
This made the Brazilian star very angry, he stood up menacingly, and then knocked Sileson to the ground, and then an even more exciting scene happened!
Neymar rode straight up and punched Silaisen!
After that, they were quickly pulled away by the rest of the Barcelona players!
It was such a short video that was wildly reposted on the Internet, and then the media began to follow up.
First of all, the media in England was the first to climax.
“....... At the Cardiff City training base, the Barcelona players broke out into infighting, and once again it looked like a training match within the team, Neymar was very unhappy with Silessen's tackle, and then the Brazilian star directly flipped Silessen to the ground, and then rode up to shoot the bow left and right, and poor Silessen looked like there was no room for resistance.."
“.... It can be clearly seen that Neymar is the more angry side, and after being persuaded by his teammates, Neymar is still very angry and takes off his training shirt. The Brazilian star was said to have not been involved in the subsequent training sessions and went straight back to the hotel. ”
“..... Before the tournament, Barcelona had a scandal of infighting, which may be a great thing for Manchester United!! I don't know what Neymar was thinking at that moment, he may have forgotten what time it was and how his actions would affect Barcelona.."
And the English tabloid "The Sun" also made up the whole process of this incident: "This morning, Barcelona's intra-team training match, this should have been a relaxed and enjoyable intra-team training, but the Barcelona players were under heavy pressure, and they almost had to treat the team's training match as an official game. The young player Cillesson, who spent 14 million euros from Barcelona this season, is destined to be a player who is unlikely to start this game, and seems to be infected by this atmosphere. He was very excited in the game, and in the face of Neymar, who was about to shoot, the Dutchman tackled him to the ground with a direct sliding tackle. This made the Brazilians furious, and Neymar, who was the top star of the team, directly attacked Silessen, and Silessen, who was at the bottom of the food chain in Barcelona, naturally did not dare to fight back, so the matter became a unilateral beating by Neymar...."
The English media are frantically reporting on this,
Then in Spain, the media also talked about it.
Naturally, the media in Madrid was gloating.
“....... Barcelona have arrived in Cardiff City to prepare for their Champions League final clash with Manchester United. However, in the pre-training session, there was an amazing scene in the Barcelona team, Neymar seemed to have turned into a fighting master, he rode on Cillesson, and used two left and right hooks to make the Dutch completely unable to find the north..."
Real Madrid's mouthpiece, As, reported on the incident in a gloating tone, and for Real Madrid's supporters, it was absolutely impossible for them to side with Barcelona. They are definitely the group that most want Barcelona to lose in the final!
“... There was infighting before the game, which is definitely not good news for Barcelona, plus Manchester United is not a team to mess with! Barcelona fans may need to be prepared for the Big Four. ”
The Marca newspaper is also a matter of not caring for itself.
The media in Gataronia are simply going crazy.
The big war is coming, and the team has such a problem.
The fans of Barcelona are going crazy too.
Barcelona's mouthpiece, Daily Sport, was the first to come out and put out the fire.
“...... We have to believe that this is a sign of a high level of concentration of the players, a few days before the Champions League final, the players must have been under a lot of pressure, they were so focused in every training session, every scramble! It was an accident, but it didn't affect Barcelona's form, it only brought us closer together! ”
"World Sports" also said in the report:
“.... This is what happened before the game, the team is still training in full swing, now the focus is on the Champions League final, everything else must not affect the Champions League final! ”
There was a lot of talk from the outside world, and Barcelona soon launched public relations.
First, a photo of Neymar and Cillasson hugging each other was posted on their respective social networking sites, and then a press conference was held to explain the situation.
At the press conference, the two looked completely intimate.
"Silleson is my teammate, my brother. At that moment we all focused on the confrontation within the team, the competition was that I lost my mind, I am a person full of competition! Neymar said with a smile in front of the media.
Silleson agreed: "It's just a small friction between team-mates and we can handle it. Now it's all about the Champions League final and we have to put all our attention there. ”
"There is no problem with the unity of the team!"
Enrique also came out to put out the fire.
Either way, before the start of the game, a huge storm looked like it was haunting Barcelona!
......
Barcelona infighting?
Ancelotti was skeptical, he was a little suspicious. He even suspected that it was Enrique's ghost, and that he had come up with such a trick to confuse himself.
Ancelotti has had some gains and losses.
If Barcelona is really infighting, then it is undoubtedly a good thing for Manchester United, because the big war is imminent, and a team with infighting will suffer no matter how hard it fights.
Neymar and Cillasson... Why not Neymar and Messi!
Ancelotti thought with some greed.
This matter has also become a hot topic of discussion in the Manchester United team in the past two days.
Of course, everyone is happy to see the infighting between the opponents they are about to meet in the Champions League.
Lingard said he didn't expect Neymar to be so strong, and this standard left hook and right hook made people look fascinated.
And some players are starting to miss Rooney.
Rooney is a boxing enthusiast, that's something everyone knows. Back then, Rooney often stared at his bruised and swollen face after the holidays to train at the base - the players must have known that Captain Lu must have been playing martial arts with his boxer friends during the holidays.
Li Qingshan also has a pair of boxing gloves from Rooney. However, if Li Qingshan goes to participate in a boxing match, he will definitely be heavyweight.
The Barcelona infighting incident is just a topic of small talk among Manchester United's players, and Manchester United's focus is of course on preparing for the Champions League!
On June 2, after an afternoon of training, the Manchester United players boarded the bus and headed to Cardiff City!
Manchester United fans are also flocking to the Welsh capital.
For Manchester United fans, the Champions League final at the Millennium Stadium will be split equally between the two teams, while UEFA will also need a portion of neutral tickets.
So in the stadium, the number of fans on both sides is basically equal.
But a large number of Manchester United fans are ready to gather outside the Millennium Stadium to cheer on the team!
With Manchester United's arrival in Cardiff, the Champions League final is just around the corner!
