Michael? Johnson stood in front of the penalty spot, everyone was staring at him, and fans around the world were staring through live TV cameras, staring at his back and the football not far in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Barcelona's penalty area was crowded, all the high points of the Red Rebels went in, all the high points of Barcelona also went in, wrestling hard over there one by one, and then you can see that the players of the two teams crushed each other.

The referee had to blow the whistle again and then signal the players in the box to be careful.

Modern football tactics have changed with the rules, corners and indirect free kicks, and the penalty area have completely turned into a wrestling field.

But even so, the Red Rebels, who claim to play the most artistic and ornamental football in the world, have never been afraid, because the Red Rebels' tactical system has never lacked strength, let alone courage.

After some warning from the referee, the free-kick resumed.

Michael? Johnson slowly took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the penalty area, his right hand raised in the air, and he raised his index finger to the top of his head a few times, and then suddenly burst out and sent the ball away.

The football crossed a beautiful arc in mid-air, followed a certain trajectory in flight, and then quickly fell to the far post, Terry desperately squeezed Piqui with his body, using his own strength, firmly suppressed the Barcelona kid who had been trying to knock him out of position from the beginning behind him, and then jumped high against the landing point of the football.

Puyol jumped up to fight Terry, while Piqui interfered behind him, and in the corner where no one could see, his hand slammed into Terry's shirt and then immediately released it, but it had interfered with Terry's balance.

But Terry bumped the ball past Puyol and into the near post.

At this moment, Puyol's heart secretly screamed badly, and an ominous premonition arose, so as soon as he landed, he immediately turned around and looked over, and saw that he didn't know when, Messi had entered the penalty area, and under the joint attack of Abidal and Busquets, he suddenly rushed out, and Yuyue rushed the ball into the net, Valdés could not do anything about it!

“1：0！ A beautiful indirect free-kick in front of the court, and Messi scored the first goal for the Red Rebels! ”

"In the second minute, the Red Rebels took the lead, Michael? Johnson's free kick was very accurate, and it went directly to Terry, who chose to do it back under the interference of the Barcelona players, and the header was knocked and ferried to Messi who was inserted in the back row, who naturally would not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

The Red Rebels fans at the scene were so excited that they scrambled to get up from their seats one by one, cheering and celebrating, especially when they saw Messi excitedly gliding to celebrate the goal, and gave the warmest applause to the Argentine youngster.

Mourinho clenched his fists and made a winning gesture and celebration, then turned around, and hugged Cassel, Juninho Jr. and others next to him one by one, his face was very resolute, it seemed that he was determined to win this game!

Unlike Mourinho, who is full of confidence, Guardiola on the side looks helpless, even a little disappointed, thinking something in his mouth, and he can see that he is annoyed in his heart.

"Everyone knows what it means to concede a goal at the Red Rebels Stadium for a visiting team, Barcelona once thought about drawing away from the Red Rebels, but now, just two minutes into the game, the Red Rebels have scored against Barca."

'It was a very sudden, but very representative goal, and he showed Barca's weakness in defending set-pieces, especially in terms of physical confrontation, which made Barça very poor in terms of both set-piece defense and set-piece attack, but it seems that Pep Guardiola is more willing to keep the ball than practice free-kicks.

After the Red Rebels on the pitch celebrated excitedly, one by one they returned to the pitch and the game resumed.

Due to the relationship between the first goal, the Red Rebels looked like they were in high spirits, and after Barcelona restarted, the ball was quickly snatched by the Red Rebels.

Michael? Johnson controlled the ball in midfield, and after a couple of passes, the ball came to the left, Ronaldo forced his way through Puyol on the left and passed to the edge of the box, Aguero scrambled before everyone else, and the ball was saved by Valdés.

However, the Red Rebels soon organized another effective attack, Kaka won the ball in the middle, suddenly broke through with the ball and stepped forward at high speed, and passed behind Pique, Aguero was blown offside by the referee after taking the ball.

The Red Rebels' offensive was fierce wave after wave, and Barcelona's back line looked precarious under the Red Rebels' furious attack.

But sometimes football is like this, seeing that Barcelona has its last breath, but it refuses to let it go.

........................ "Hey, Michael! "Michael? Johnson shouted at his teammate Essien next to him and beckoned.

Essien immediately realized that he was out of position, nodded with an apologetic smile, and walked back, "Sorry, I'm a little excited!" ”

Position, this is one of Mourinho's most important requirements for players in this game, because Barcelona is also a team with very delicate skills, and they can't give them too much space, so the Red Rebels must maintain a strict formation, even when they are in an advantage on the field, they must always guard against it.

Michael? Johnson has taken on this responsibility, he has always fallen behind the team, he has become the commander of the Red Rebels' midfield, sitting at the back, strategizing, and engaging in attack through his sharp and precise through and long balls, which is a big change for him this season, while Cesc Fabregas is more involved in the attack up front, playing his delicate short balls and through balls.

Jose Mourinho had considered arranging for these two players to join forces to control the midfield, which was definitely the strongest midfield combination for the Red Rebels, one up front and the other behind, but they also needed a player who could provide strength and courage between them, so that the Red Rebels would have to break the magic quartet up front.

There are gains and losses, and Mourinho's vision can only be arranged according to the reality of the situation.

After getting Michael? After Johnson's reminder, Essien retreated to his position, and soon Barca broke the ball and played a counter-attack, Xavi launched a through ball in the midfield, and after returning to position, Essien grabbed ahead of Villa and cleared the ball with a header to nearby Michael? Johnson, who passes diagonally to Ronaldo.

The Portuguese picked up the ball on the left and pushed forward quickly, played a counter-attack from Barca, and on the edge of the box, played a beautiful small combination with Kaka and caused chaos in the box, Kaka, Aguero and Messi failed to find the back of the net with three consecutive shots.

However, the Red Rebels' offensive ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands, and the entire Red Rebels stadium completely turned into a sea of red.

Mourinho watched Messi's shot from the sidelines slightly off, shaking his head with some regret, now it's only 13 minutes, if he can go to the next city, then this game will be completely out of suspense.

"Did you find it, Jose, Barcelona's tactics today were a little different than usual!" Cassel reminded.

Little Juninho on the side also nodded incessantly, "There are more direct passes, and fewer short passes!" ”

"It seems that Guardiola knows your tactical intentions!" Cassel laughed.

Mourinho's tactical intentions against Barcelona formulated before the game have two points, first, possession, he is not even opposed to handing over possession to Barcelona, the purpose is to increase Barcelona's possession of the ball, in this way, it is equivalent to burying a mine in Barcelona's defense, when it will be detonated, it is the Red Rebels who have the final say.

Second, sticky ball, Barcelona pays attention to ball control and short passes, so that even the most delicate players can not always kick the ball, and often have to let the ball control at the feet, this is the opportunity of the Red Rebels, at this time to break the ball, often directly into a fatal counterattack.

But now it seems that Guardiola has abandoned the habit of short passes, and has allowed players to attack more through direct passes and long passes, and there is no doubt that the offensive efficiency has deteriorated, at least from the beginning to the present, Barcelona has not even shot on goal, only one into the Red Rebels penalty area.

However, what changed was that, apart from Villa and Pedro slightly up front, Barcelona's overall formation was very deep, always maintaining a compact queue, and building an iron wall near the middle of the field to prevent the Red Rebels from advancing.

Mourinho watched the players on both sides on the pitch playing back and forth, and shook his head, "Everything changes, no matter how Guardiola adjusts, Barcelona is still the same Barcelona, what is the current possession rate?" ”

Cassel picked up the iPad in his hand, pressed it a few times, and reported: "44:56! ”

Mourinho suddenly laughed and asked: "Although we deliberately gave up some control in the hope that Barcelona could press it out, but from the situation on the field, look at this possession, what do you think?" ”

Juninho Jr. and Cassel glanced at each other, and both saw a light in each other's eyes, obviously trying to catch something, but they didn't seem to be very clear.

"Barcelona are still chasing possession?" Juninho Jr. tried to ask.

Mourinho smiled and shook his head, "Not all! ”

"Or, unconsciously, they are still chasing possession, which may not even be noticed by Pep Guardiola and the Barcelona players themselves, but we can see it very clearly!" Cassel shook the iPad in his hand and laughed.

The device can be connected directly to the Opta Data company's database via the Red Rebels' internal network and via the mobile network, providing access to game data that is updated every minute, which is a huge benefit for the Red Rebels' on-the-spot command.

"Barcelona's football is said to be good is to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, to put it badly, it is extremely conservative, they know their own flaws, so they do everything possible to hide themselves, through the possession of the ball, if it is not for the human limit, they may want 100% possession, so that the opponent can defeat themselves."

"Trust me, it's an ostrich tactic!" Mourinho said sarcastically.

"But there are also merits in Barcelona's tactics, such as their delicate style of passing and receiving skills, such as their interpretation and improvement of Dutch football philosophy, but the reason why I always look down on Barcelona football is that they lack courage and innovation."

"Barcelona have a high rate of possession, even unconsciously, they still have more possession than us, but if I'm not mistaken, they have more possession in the middle and back, and their passes are more horizontal and knockback, and the forward passes are pitiful, so they have been almost 20 minutes now, only once to send the ball into our box, the rest of the time it is outside the box."

After hearing this, Juninho Jr. immediately looked at Cassel, who nodded wryly in confirmation of Mourinho's speculation.

"The reason why they lack courage is because they put a lot of emphasis on the success rate of passing, there is no chance of more than 10 years, they will not pass the ball, they would rather pass and knock back, and then control it, which is a frighteningly high requirement, in order to meet this requirement, the players choose more to cross and knock back."

The pass success rate is guaranteed, and the ball possession rate is increased unconsciously!

This can also be seen as one of the biggest differences between the Red Rebels and Barcelona, that is, the Red Rebels are very encouraging players to pass the ball forward, but that is based on the active fighting and the overall defensive system of the midfield, so from the perspective of the field, the Red Rebels' games sometimes look like ups and downs, while Barcelona are even.

It's hard to say for sure which of the two styles of play is better or worse, but everyone acknowledges that the Red Rebels have always played more passionately and creatively than Barca.

"So what do we do now?" Kassel consulted Mourinho for advice.

No one should doubt the tactical literacy of the Portuguese madman, because it was under his leadership that the tactical system of the Red Rebels was sublimated and the combat effectiveness of the team was guaranteed.

"It's very simple, press up, let Cristiano stay in the box more, Sergio has more freedom and I want to score another goal before the end of the first half!" Mourinho's eyes flashed with fierceness.

Pep Guardiola is not stupid, he was so passive in the first half, he just made adjustments, it was clear that he was waiting for his chance, and in the second half he either became more conservative or he was dead, either way, Mourinho would love to see.

At this time, the Portuguese turned around, and it was Drogba, the king of African elephants, sitting on the bench!

…………………… The adjustments were soon passed on to the pitch and the Red Rebels players were soon given the latest instructions from Mourinho, press!

The three lines pressed Barcelona across the board, another set of tactics developed by the Red Rebels before the game, and it was clear that Barça were a little ill-prepared for it, with Ronaldo starting to play more like a centre-forward, with Aguero, Kaka and Messi roaming around him.

Don't look at Xiao Xiaoluo's full of tricks, but in fact, his physical fitness is very good, 186cm tall, his heading ability is not weak, and he is not even lost to his left foot at all, and many people praise him as a guy who can score with both feet.

The header, left foot, and right foot were all excellent, and the Red Rebel Laboratory created such a heavy tank with all-round capabilities on land, sea and air.

He may not be very good at jumping, but he can take off at any time with all his strength, which depends on his muscles, and he stays in the air for the longest time in the team, which allows him to complete all kinds of moves in the air with more ease.

Direct passes, long passes and wide crosses all have a very important requirement for the team's tactics, the fulcrum!

When the tactics returned to the tactical system of the previous Red Rebels, Xiao Xiaoluo assumed the role of the fulcrum of the frontcourt.

This completely disrupted Barcelona's plans, because they soon discovered that the Red Rebels' frontcourt magic quartet was not just a little fast, and the delicate skills of Xiao Luo and Kaka made many people unconsciously forget, both of them reached a height of 186cm, which is not a small rank on the football field.

After a few attempts, the Red Rebels played more fluidly, the fulcrum and movement were closer, the frontcourt players were more fluid with each other, and the means of passing the ball were more abundant, making it more difficult for Barcelona to defend.

In the 29th minute, Curtis stepped forward, Michael? Surrounded by Busquets, Johnson handed the ball to Curtis, who immediately passed to Alves on the right, who took the ball and immediately broke down the right flank.

Alves was very fast, very fine, and on the right flank, he went on a rampage like a fly, and then made a running with Messi, the Argentine entered the box, and Alves' pass immediately came to his feet.

Messi did not go well with the ball under the interference of Ziglinski, stumbled forward, and the ball was unstable, but he still barely knocked the ball to Xiao Xiaoluo in the middle of the penalty area when he was about to fall.

The Portuguese held Piquee with his body and tried to turn after winning the ball, but couldn't find the opportunity to knock back to Kaka behind him.

Keita tried to intercept Kaka, but a light pull action shook Keita away, and Kaka gently sent the ball away.

The ball seemed to have eyes, passing between Piqui and Ziglinski, and Messi crossed Ziglinski, his dexterous shape and speed, the Ukrainians almost had no way to take him, and they didn't even have time to foul, so they could only watch Messi counter offside.

After Messi entered the penalty area, he stopped, pulled, and sent, and the ball rolled directly into the net from the left side of Valdés.

2：0！

Argentine youngster Lionel Messi scored his second goal of the game, which was a brilliant combination!

After Messi scored the goal, he jumped up from the ground for the first time, turned and pounced on Kaka behind him, the momentum was even more ferocious than when he sprinted to Ziglinski just now, and then directly threw Kaka to the ground.

The kid was smiling a lot, he was in excellent form in the game, especially with his team-mates, which made him feel like a fish in water, and both goals were very easy and natural.

But although it was his own goal, Messi never forgot the credit of his teammates!
