Chapter 218: Naturally, as a Matter of Course (12/134)
Under Pep Guardiola's watchful eye, the ball flew straight to Lazio's left flank.
David Silva had already arrived first, where was waiting.
And because of Pique's forward press, Barcelona's defenders all closed the defensive formation to the middle, which led to a lot of space on both wings, and David Silvaki was unmarked.
Especially this one.
Lazio's left side is Barcelona's right side, and Barcelona's right-back here is Daniel Alves...... This is a full-back who has a lot of assists, and sometimes he is a full-back rather than a winger.
In fact, when Chang Sheng had just crossed into this world and coached Getafe, he once went to Brazil to dig Senna. At that time, he also thought about whether to dig up Alves by the way.
At that time, Alves was still playing in Bahia in Brazil, not even a substitute, and only played five games in a season.
As long as you dig it yourself, it should be easy to dig up.
But he didn't.
Because at that time, Getafe's main tactic was to play defensive counter-attacks, which required defense, and for the requirements of full-backs, the first consideration for winning was defense.
Alves is a full-back with excellent assist ability, and the defense is unusual. If Alves is poached, is it a full-back? Nass is a winger. Completely inconsistent with tactical requirements.
Although Chang Sheng is a traverser, he did not use his knowledge of traversal to wipe out all the stars in later generations.
Because it doesn't make sense, some players have a lot to do with the environment in which they grew up. Even if Chang Sheng poached them all, but didn't give them a suitable environment for them to grow up, what was the use? Maybe in the end, the future star's actual achievements are far less than the one that Chang Sheng knows, and in the end, he will simply disappear from the crowd.
Therefore, Changsheng diggers pay special attention to this. He is looking for people he needs for his tactics. Otherwise, no matter how talented he is, he doesn't want it.
In this way, the people who have been poached by themselves can be like a fish in water under the tactical system that suits them, and in the end, they can even achieve more than Chang Sheng knows. And those who are always victorious and do not dig will continue to develop according to the original route, and eventually grow into talents and become famous in the right place for them.
For example, Deco.
Chang Sheng knew that he was going to dream of the second team's tactics, and Deco was very suitable. So he poached Deco, and abandoned Aimar, who was countless times more famous and limelight than Deco at that time.
In the eyes of others. Winning is a brain-twitching approach.
The result? Aimar has never played at Inter Milan, in Zaragoza, or in Porto, just like the Aimar that Changsheng knows.
Deco is in Valencia, where he is at home with a winning tactic. became the hottest midfield maestro in world football, and eventually was selected for the Brazilian national team, became a Brazilian international, and participated in the World Cup.
Chang Sheng didn't dig Alves because he knew that he didn't match his own style.
Now the right-back, who Chang Sheng deliberately missed at the beginning, gave Chang Sheng a big gift - he stepped forward to assist and did not return to the defense in time, so the side he is on now is simply a flat grassland. You can let the Lazio players run the reins!
※※※
Modric's long balls were very precise.
Although in the time and space that Chang Sheng is familiar with, Modric's accurate long passes are more due to the experience of the Premier League, but in this time and space, Chang Sheng has always consciously trained Modric's long passes. Priority will be given to the training skills of [Long Passing Special Training] to take care of Modric.
So Modric in this time and space, long passes are also very good.
The ball found David Silva with precision.
David Silva lifted his foot to stop the ball, and because there was a lot of space in front of him, he didn't stop directly at his feet. Instead, he stopped the ball a few meters forward.
This way he can speed up directly.
Although David Silva's explosiveness and speed after the injury are not as explosive and fast as before, it does not mean that he is as slow as a snail.
Like the current situation, the front is flat. David Silva naturally couldn't be slow to dribble the ball.
He took the ball forward and sped up!
"David Silva! Lazio's quick counter-attack!! ”
The shouts of the commentators were immediately drowned out by the deafening cheers of the Lazio fans.
You can see the situation and this is a great opportunity for Lazio!
One more, one more...... One more and you're done with Barcelona!
Barcelona rushed back to the defense, Pique ran all the way behind, trying to get to his own defense area as soon as possible, the central defender was not there, there was a hole, someone else had to fill it.
After the others came to make up for it, the defense area where he came became a hole, so another person was needed to make up for it...... The result is a chain reaction.
David Silva didn't go straight to the ground, he cut inside quickly and headed for goal.
This forced the Barcelona defenders who had replaced Pique to return to their own defensive zone.
Then the hole left by Pique was left unfilled......
David Silva didn't really want to shoot himself or burst into the box.
He dribbled horizontally and handed over the ball immediately.
On the counter-attack, Gotze and Cavani made a switch.
Götze came from the wing to the middle, while Cavani pulled to the wing.
Of course, this run is purposeful......
The football passed to the feet of Gotze.
Gotze didn't lift his head after receiving the ball, and passed the ball out. A push pass straight stopper!
Football goes straight to the space left by Pique!
And Cavani has already cut in from the wing, and his goal is also that vacancy!
Left-back Abidal has been following him all the time, but there is no way to get past Edinson Cavani.
Cavani managed to catch the ball in the air, and then he swooped in!
Abidal didn't dare to make a move! If it's a foul...... That's a penalty!
Behind him, Abidal threw a bogey, Cavani was like a dragon into the sea, and he felt comfortable in the box because he was a striker!
After Cavani entered the penalty area, he didn't continue to dribble the ball, nor did he do anything to get rid of the fake shot and real buckle, he shot directly with his feet!
Valdés made a save, but Cavani's ball arced around Valdés' defence and crashed into the net!
“3:1! Lazio extended their lead to two goals again! Pretty! Lazio have shown great strength at their home turf!! ”
Pique got a little carried away, he pressed for assists in a row, but forgot about the space behind him...... It was from this gap that Edinson Cavani burst into the box and finished his shot...... Pique's mistake put the team in an extremely unfavorable situation! ”
"If they return to their home turf with this Bean, I don't think even the Barcelona people dare to say that they will definitely have a chance to ......"
※※※
Seeing Cavani hit the ball into Valdés' goal, Chang Sheng stood up from his seat with his fists raised, not jumped, or run, he just stood up and then walked to the sidelines, always raising his fists, but he didn't raise his arms and shout.
For him, the goal came as a matter of course, and that was the result of the tactical set-up.
With the right tactical arrangement, the players play normally, or well, and the result is a matter of course.
So he wasn't even very excited.
It's really nothing to get excited about.
After putting so much effort into it at home, if you can't win against Barcelona, then you should be excited - it's a failure!
※※※
Compared with the calm and calm Chang Sheng, Guardiola's brows are tightly wrung up.
Falling behind by two goals, although it is not to the point of completely losing the play, it is also much more difficult than 1:2.
Back at Camp Nou in the next leg, the score will be very difficult for Barcelona.
When the game resumed, Pique didn't dare to go any further, as he conceded a goal.
If he rushes up and attacks again, in Lazio's form, he will definitely score more goals, like that...... He believes that the manager will definitely replace him and will not give him any chance in the next game.
Pique made the right choice.
Then Guardiola changed his tactics and changed from attack to defense.
1:3 is already the worst score Barcelona can accept, and if it continues, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this time, it is more important to hold 1:3 than to risk 2:3.
On this point, Pep Guardiola is more cautious than a perennial win.
Lazio fans watched Barcelona start to recycle their defence, passing the ball back and forth in the backfield, but they just didn't go forward, and they booed from the stands.
The commentator also followed suit: "It's hard to imagine that Barcelona, which has always been based on offensive football, was forced by Lazio to only be able to recycle the defense, and not dare to attack!" I don't think there's any need to argue about who is stronger Lazio or Barcelona. For this, Lazio is better than Barcelona! ”
Such an evaluation fell into Cruyff's ears, and the godfather of Barcelona was so dark that he could play Bao Qingtian without makeup.
For him, winning or losing is not the first thing, but the scene, especially the evaluation of public opinion, is probably the first.
Barcelona lost to Lazio in this game in terms of score, and not only that, but they will also lose in the post-match evaluation!
When the time comes, everyone will only remember how Lazio used the attack to break down Barcelona, and only how Barcelona responded to Lazio's furious attack - they shrank their defense! It's like a turtle with a shrunken head!
It's simply harder for Cruyff to accept than losing.
Football is not only about winning and losing, dignity is more important than winning or losing!
In Cruyff's view, Guardiola's choice is to lose even dignity......
