Volume 3 The Gunslinger Myth Chapter 310 Messi's nemesis

After Arsenal scored, Barcelona was like a cat with its tail burned, and immediately jumped three feet high, home and away are completely two concepts, the so-called shame, when there are people, you can lose it, QUanbEN, in front of nearly 90,000 people Arsenal played the same beautiful match, how can Barcelona's face be hung up, they must quickly find this field, otherwise they will be shameless when shopping on Ramblas after the game.

Barcelona's attacking combination has no height, no physical advantage, and absolute sprint speed is not strong, but their advantage is the tacit understanding of cooperation, and the key is that the dribbling breakthrough technology at the foot is far superior, in front of the opponent's defenders, their breakthroughs and group short-distance passes, often fast, tacit, unexpected, dazzling, so that the defenders take care of one or the other, and the level and system of the defense will inevitably be torn apart by the opponent. Therefore, the balance of the game can easily be broken by Barcelona, who create a lot of chances in front of goal and can easily score goals.

Gaps in technique, especially in dribbling skills at the feet, can create a defensive disadvantage for defenders. The advantage of predicting the position selection, the advantage of height and long legs, in front of such a small and fast opponent, is not enough to make up for the lag in his turning and judgment, and it is naturally not enough to block the line that the opponent breaks through. The only thing that relies on is the dense defense formed by the retreat of multiple people.

Arsenal also adopted intensive defensive tactics when they began to deal with Barcelona, but unfortunately it did not have a good effect, Muñoz once said that in Barcelona football, Messi, Villa, Pedro are not only goal experts, but also experts in suppressing opponents, among which Pedro can be called a master in counter-attacking. Once Barcelona succeed in counter-attacking, the red and blue can immediately catch their opponents off guard with a close-range counter-attack, the opponent's defence will collapse, and Barcelona can also finish the shot from close distance. Therefore, in many cases, the team with intensive defense is often unable to form an effective counterattack, only the defense does not counterattack, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the 90-minute attack of Barcelona's aggressive counter-attack, and once it is scored by Barcelona, it will be too late.

Later, Arsenal and Barcelona played against each other, but the result was still lost, until the arrival of Li Huan, Fabregas, Walcott's maturity, Arsenal's defensive quality has improved a lot compared to the original, and the quality of counterattacks is more prominent, Li Huan can sometimes handle Barcelona's entire defense alone, not to mention the help of stars such as Nasri, Fabregas, Arshavin and Walcott, it will be difficult for Barcelona to besiege Arsenal as before.

However, Barcelona lost by a big score away from home, and after returning to home, Guardiola adjusted the team's tactics, first strengthening the pressing and marking of Li Huan and Fabregas, Li Huan and Fabregas are Arsenal's offensive and defensive havens, and the two of them pose the greatest threat to Barcelona's front-court siege tactics.

Secondly, Barcelona's offensive mode has also changed to a certain extent compared with the original, Barcelona's offense has always relied on Xavi's organizational planning, it can be said that he is the core of Barcelona's offensive system and the engine of attack. The rest of the players on the offensive line were interspersed with runs, tearing away the defense, and then relying on Xavi to feed the ball. When Xavi was firmly targeted or restricted, he relied on the breakthrough of Xiaobai and Messi to find opportunities.

But this season, in fact, Barcelona's dependence on Xavi has been greatly reduced. Because Barcelona's previous invincible style of play has been recognized, opponents have also increased the way to limit Xavi. So this season, Barcelona pays more attention to the mutual exchange and cooperation of the front-court offensive combination. Messi is no longer confined to the wing, his area of activity has been greatly expanded, mainly concentrated near the big penalty area, he has more dribbling, more breakthroughs, more insertions into the penalty area, his dribbling breakthroughs, often able to attract more defensive forces, and then through breakthroughs or with Villa, Xiaobai, Pedro, planning and building offensives.

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, Barcelona's ball passed more towards Messi, and Alves and Xavi also began to press forward quickly, giving Messi an extra mobile receiving point in the frontcourt.

However, Arsenal's defense of Messi was very successful, Messi wanted to lead the team to counterattack in the last 15 minutes of the first half, but Diaby followed him like a ghost, and Li Huan also harassed him from time to time, which made Messi a little overwhelmed, Barcelona's offensive ability was greatly weakened, and their counterattack did not score.

At the end of the first half, referee Rossetti blew the whistle and the players from both sides went back to the dressing room for 15 minutes before going on for the final 45 minutes of a do-or-die battle.

In the home team's dressing room, Barcelona once again showed exciting and heart-pumping motivational videos, as well as videos of Barca's wonderful goals in recent years, to boost the morale and morale of the players, allowing them to improve the team in 15 minutes.

Arsene Wenger was not the protagonist in the visitors' dressing room, he arrived with owner Kroenke and club executive chairman Gazidis.

Kroenke's approach was very simple, he tore up a check to Gazidis in public, "If the team wins and reaches the semi-finals, you directly fill in all the numbers up to 10 million euros on it, and use the money to reward the players, don't delay, and send it after the game." ”

The wine color is red, and the wealth is moving. Kroenke doesn't need to say a word, his cheque does more than Guardiola's motivational blockbuster and blood-pumping language.

After the start of the second half, the fighting spirit of the players on both sides came up, Barcelona launched an almost unscrupulous attack, leaving Puyol and Pique in the backfield, and even Maxwell and Alves on both sides stepped forward to assist.

Arsenal has two balls in their hands, full of confidence, and Li Huan plays a role in the backline, like a mainstay, blocking all the attacks that rush to the right side where he is, because of Li Huan's strength, the Barcelona players have to turn the focus of the attack to the center and the left.

In the second half, Barcelona scored first again, this time it was not Messi who scored, it was Villa, King Kong Huluwa predicted Vermaelen's intention to divide the ball to the side, he suddenly stealed, intercepted the ball.

The moment Villa broke the ball, he stopped the ball two meters away from his body, but this time he shook the back Song also, and Villa easily rushed over and made a small arc straight to the dead corner of the goal.

2:1, Villa overtook the score for Barcelona. The aggregate score between the two sides also became 4:3, and Barcelona scored two more goals to complete the overtake.

But Arsenal is by no means vegetarian, Barcelona's goal is like stimulating the nerves of Arsenal players, in fact, it is the money bags of Arsenal players, if they can't advance, their 10 million euro bonus will be gone, in the face of such a scenario, who will not be anxious or angry, not to mention that Arsenal has been smooth sailing in the past two years, dominating European and world football, how can you eat this breath.

Less than three minutes after Barcelona scored, Messi pulled to the left side of Arsenal to attack Klich, but Arsenal had already laid heavy troops, Messi's breakthrough was blocked, and he could only continue to dribble horizontally, looking for flaws in Arsenal's defense, and at the same time he could use the instant chaos of Arsenal's defense to complete the cooperation with his teammates.

However, Messi took the rise, did not notice that he had passed the top of the penalty area to the right side of Arsenal, just when Messi pulled the ball across his childhood friend Cesc Fabregas, suddenly found that a tall Gunners player appeared in front of him, Messi flicked the ball again, thinking about this player. However, Messi was only halfway through his movements when the tall player's legs reached Messi's feet and hooked the ball.

Messi was taken aback, but he didn't panic and immediately lifted the ball and tried to bring it out from the feet of the interceptor. But the opponent is very experienced, the hook ball at his feet, the upper body has been knocked over, the short Messi was hit by a stumbling, and when he regained his balance, the ball has been snatched away by the opponent, Messi only saw a bright red number 13 on his back.

"Li Huan" Messi gritted his teeth and said, "It's his good thing that he spoiled me again" After speaking, Messi took two small short legs and chased Li Huan like a hot wheel.

Li Huan rushed from the side to the position near the middle to snatch Messi's ball, and then immediately dribbled the ball out of the middle, he has made a cameo appearance many times in the back, and he often does it with the ball in the middle, for Li Huan, as long as he breaks through the siege and interception of Barcelona's frontcourt, it is equivalent to half the success, because Barcelona's backfield is too weak, almost a large area of racetrack.

However, it is not easy to avoid Barcelona's frontcourt siege, Barcelona's frontcourt pressing is more systematic and scientific than ordinary teams, no matter where the ball is lost on the pitch, or no matter at any time when the opponent is in control of the ball, Barcelona's players are all mobilized and actively participate in the defense. Whether it is in the opponent's backfield, in the midfield, or in their own backfield, as soon as they concede a goal, Barcelona's players will flock to it and scramble endlessly. Barcelona's encirclement is not a swarm chasing football, but a clear division of labor, forming a * numerical advantage in a small area of football, with one or two people specifically blocking the opponent's ball line, and one or two people directly grabbing it. In this way, the opponent will quickly cut off the ball at his feet, or force the opponent to clear the ball with a big kick, regain control of the ball, and then attack.

But at this time, Li Huan showed great confidence and fighting spirit, he did not pass the ball to Arshavin or Van Persie, but rushed directly to the Barcelona players who surrounded him, he didn't want to turn the easy counterattack opportunity into Van Persie and Piquebe speed again, or get a free kick on the side again, he wanted to use the speed to escape before the opponent closed up.
