"Remember the tactics we focused on this past week?"

In the dressing room of the Real Madrid away team, Pep Guardiola swept a kind of Barcelona player with a serious face, and everyone's face was full of solemnity, because they couldn't avoid the fact that they had never beaten Yang Cheng!

If there really is a so-called natural enemy in this world, then Yang Cheng is Barcelona's natural enemy.

"What kind of team is Real Madrid, I believe everyone should know better than me, this is the strongest team in football today, we must admit that we are indeed inferior to our opponents at this stage, but this does not mean that we do not have the strength to beat our opponents, I dare to say that in today's football, the team that is most qualified to beat Real Madrid is 'it our Barcelona!'

Guardiola pointed to his chest and said confidently.

"We have to see our strengths and weaknesses clearly, so that we can better see our opponents and beat them, so we don't have to be afraid of gaps, we have to admit gaps and shortcomings, and then bring out our best state, the strongest strength, and then beat the opponent!"

'Everybody has to give me 120,000 points of spirit to have a chance to walk away from the Bernabeu and win a Champions League, I'm very confident in you, do you?'

"Yes!" Immediately following a shout from Guardiola, the Barcelona players chanted in unison.

Pep Guardiola seems to be quite satisfied with the player's answer, at least in the past week, he has been constantly analyzing Real Madrid's tactics with the players, and constantly analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Real Madrid with the players, so that in the hearts of the players, Real Madrid is no longer so invincible, and it is no longer synonymous with invincibility.

Unloading this burden and pressure will allow the Barcelona players to better play their strength in the game.

"Against Real Madrid, the most important thing is to break the opponent's control and play to our strengths and strengths, and that is to possess the ball!"

Pep Guardiola walked to the front of the tactical board and reminded his players once again, "Everyone has to remember for me, give me the attack at the beginning of the game, we have to be ready to play 90 minutes, even minutes, we have to keep in mind all the time, break Real Madrid's control, ensure our own possession!" ”

The two are actually the same thing, as long as Barcelona can firmly control the ball at their feet, then Real Madrid's control will be weakened, and the whole process is a process of trade-off, and there is no need to deliberately pursue it.

In fact, if you just watch the Barcelona and Chelsea match, many people will not notice the real change in Barcelona, because Chelsea did not compete with Barcelona for possession, which is also Mourinho's tactical characteristic all along, which makes Barcelona have a high possession rate, but in fact they play a strange 532 tactic.

Why 532?

Pep Guardiola's real purpose is only one, to ensure his possession as much as possible in the game against Real Madrid, so Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, the iron triangle in the midfield must exist, and Messi must also be in the front, Puyol and Pique are the receivers in the backfield.

If it really wants to defend to the death, then Barcelona will not play 532 in the game against Chelsea but still press the defense so high, in fact, Guardiola's purpose is still to control the ball, or to suppress, but the tactical thinking is more conservative and wants to play more securely.

In this game against Real Madrid, he doesn't even mind that as long as he can limit Real Madrid's attack, he can even accept the team's 90 minutes of possession, and Messi and Pedro are in front, which is a sharp weapon when counterattacking, and it doesn't matter if it can't be effective. …,

There is a saying that is very true, hooligans are not terrible, I am afraid that hooligans are cultured, and they want to play Barcelona, which is a defensive counterattack, and play a Barcelona-style defensive counterattack, which is likely to pose a huge problem for Real Madrid.

"Guys!" Guardiola emphasized the tactics he had emphasized countless times in the past week, and then looked solemnly at the Barcelona players in front of him, "This game is undoubtedly a crucial game for Real Madrid, they want to rely on this game to ascend to the altar, for them, this is a battle of gods!" ”

"If they win, then they will step to a greater height than the Dream II, than the Galaxy Battleship, than the Dream Team, and even against Sachi's Milan dynasty, if they win, they will become the brightest page in the history of football, and each of their names will shine in the history of football, and what about us?"

Pep Guardiola pointed at himself hard, as if he wanted to fight side by side with all the players, "We will be their foil, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame in football history forever and ever, everyone who mentions Real Madrid, they will definitely mention us Barcelona, mention their players, they will definitely mention you, each and every one of you!" ”

"Fans decades later will not say how good Messi is, but only the Argentine shorty who was helpless by Real Madrid; When it comes to Xavi, when it comes to Iniesta, when it comes to Sergio Busquets, they all say that they are three fools who only know how to pass; When you think of Puyol, you mention Pique, they laugh at what you did when you scored at Real Madrid. ”

"You will completely become an unprecedented shame in the history of Barcelona because of this loss, you will become the most ridiculous joke in the history of football, you will be trampled under their feet by them!"

"But !!" Pep Guardiola accentuated his tone, "Guys, if we can beat Real Madrid, then the situation will be completely different, we will go down in history because we beat this team, we will be the object of praise in football history, we will be the pride of Barça's history, countless people will remember this game tonight, remember each and every one of you!" ”

"Whether you want to be a hero or a bear is up to you!"

Pep Guardiola excitedly walked to the door of the dressing room and heard the bell from England's referee Webber, who had apparently begun to inform the players of both teams to enter, so he pulled the door of the dressing room open with force, and the movement of the fans outside swept in, occupying the entire dressing room.

Without saying anything, Puyol stood silently and walked towards the door of the dressing room, while the Barcelona players who followed him walked out of the dressing room one by one and lined up to the entrance of the players' tunnel.

Real Madrid's players all seem to be relatively relaxed, and this set has been praised by countless fans and professionals as a squad that is likely to monopolize the Champions League for four or five years, and there is indeed a reason to relax, because they do have an advantage in strength and technical and tactical level, but it is precisely because of this that in the eyes of Barcelona players, their hearts are even more hot.

No one is born willing to be a bad seed, a coward, a loser, and everyone wants to be a well-dressed winner!

"For Barcelona in this game, the most important thing is to play to their own advantages and incorporate the game into their own rhythm, as long as they can control the game, then with Messi's strength, he will definitely be able to find a way to penetrate the Real Madrid goal in the game."

Cruyff commented on the tactics of the two teams before the players entered, giving Barcelona an important reminder.

"For Pep Guardiola, there are two important key points to do in this game: first, to make the game play in a way that he is familiar with; Second, let Messi show his strongest side in the game. ”…,

"If Barcelona's tactics can do these two steps, then it will be possible to beat Real Madrid!"

"Mr. Cruyff, Barcelona has always been a trident in attack before, but in this game, Guardiola used the double striker combination of Pedro and Messi, will this affect Barcelona's attacking power?" The on-site commentator asked with concern, which is also a question that many fans are concerned about.

Cruyff shook his head, "I don't think so, because in fact, the existence of Barcelona's trident is very secretive, and many people may not even notice Yang Cheng, Barcelona's trident sometimes looks redundant!" ”

"I mentioned the trident combination of Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Giuli when I was in the dream team before, and a lot of tactical cooperation is that Ronaldinho and Giuli find the other side with a diagonal long pass after cutting inside on the two wings, especially Ronaldinho's left side, and an accurate diagonal long pass to find Giuli and Messi on the right, and then break down the opponent's defense."

"In the tactics of the time, Eto'o was more of a decisive role after Ronaldinho and Giuli broke down the opposition's defence; And now, Barcelona's tactics are actually more to find cooperation after Messi breaks through the inside cut, Eto'o leaves the team, and Ibrahimovic is not reused, because Messi's ball is almost impossible to return after Eto'o and Ibrahimovic's feet, which makes Messi's power greatly limited. ”

"I've always said that Barcelona is missing a striker who can play the ball, and it was a shame that they didn't win Benzema last summer, and I think this French striker is very suitable for Barcelona now, and the best striker today is Wayne Rooney, but Torres can also do it, and that's what Barcelona lacks today."

"In this case, then removing the striker in the middle and letting Pedro and Messi play as a double striker, fundamentally speaking, has little impact on Barcelona's offensive ability, and the most important thing is to see how much Guardiola can do on the last pass and the last shot in the 32-meter area!"

As Cruyff spoke, the two teams walked into the pitch, and the entire Bernabeu stadium was in complete boil.

All the Real Madrid fans stood up and gave the team a round of applause, while Real Madrid president Florentino appeared in the middle of the pitch, accompanied by UEFA president Beckenbauer and other senior officials, as well as the club's management.

It was the first time that the Bernabéu Stadium's upper stands were open to the public, and the Bernabéu Stadium set a new record of more than 89,000 attendance, and if it weren't for the fact that there were some mobile seats left, the entire Bernabeu would have been full, and in fact, the Bernabéu was also full from the live TV footage.

Heavily armed police guarded every floor of the stands and every area, separating the opposing fans, although the fans had to go through a series of strict checks when entering the stadium, but the police still did not dare to be careless, if there was a terrorist attack, then this game would be a disaster.

In order to commemorate the redecoration of the Bernabeu Stadium, a short ribbon-cutting ceremony was held before the game, Beckenbauer, Florentino, Yang Cheng, Di Stefano and others were in front of the stadium passage to cut the ribbon for Real Madrid's new stadium to celebrate the completion of the redecoration, and after the ribbon cutting, a new St. Bolled Cup slowly rose from the entrance of the players' tunnel.

At the moment when the St. Paulette Cup was raised, all the fans in the stadium cheered in unison, although they were opposites, but their goal was unanimous like never before, they all came for this new trophy.

Liverpool once left a St. Pauled Cup, but just four years later, Real Madrid left another one, and interestingly, it was the same person who kept the trophy for these two clubs permanently, and Yang Cheng has to be said to be the most legendary figure in football history. ..., after a brief ceremony and entry, the team guessed the edge, Barcelona won the kick-off, and the players of both teams returned to their own half to stand, while the referee Webber put the ball in the center of the center circle, looked at his watch, and the whistle was already in his mouth.

"Friends from the audience, fans from all over the world, the 09/0 season, the UEFA Champions League final, is about to ignite the flames at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, the capital of Spain!"

Hearing Weber's crisp whistle, the audience was suddenly excited.

"It's on!" The on-site commentator excitedly shouted, "Barcelona is the first to kick off!" ”

I saw Barcelona served by Messi and Pedro, and the ball was quickly passed to Barcelona's midfield, but Messi and Pedro rushed to Real Madrid's forward line as soon as possible, and after the ball fell to the backfield, it quickly moved to the right side and handed it to Alves.

After the ball reached the side, Xavi and Iniesta in the middle also pressed forward for the first time, echoing Alves on the right side, forming the second echelon, but Busquets, Pique, Puyol and others also followed closely behind, and Barcelona's entire back line quickly pressed forward.

"It seems that Barcelona wants to take advantage of the opening opportunity to launch a round of attack, but I don't know what Real Madrid will do!" The on-site commentator analyzed.

"Attacking is the only weapon to prevent Real Madrid from controlling the game, you don't rush and once the game is under control, it is difficult for any team to suppress Real Madrid's attack, so attacking is actually a kind of defense!" Cruyff analyzed.

As he was talking, he saw Alves advancing quickly with the ball on the right side, and soon entered the half of Real Madrid, Messi leaned over to pick up and the two formed a cooperation on the side, Marcelo had to choose to foul, and Barcelona got a free kick opportunity on the right side.

Xavi walked over to take the free-kick, and it could be seen that Barcelona's high point, including the likes of Pique, Puyol and Abidal, entered the Real Madrid penalty area, and Andres Iniesta and others were ambushed on the edge of the big box.

The ball was taken off Xavi's feet and soon fell into the Real Madrid penalty area, Ramos got ahead of Pique and headed it away, but the ball flew out of the box and was quickly controlled by Busquets for a re-organisation.

"Real Madrid's midfield pressing doesn't look very urgent, but Barcelona pushed forward quickly after the opening!"

Now Barcelona can control the ball outside Real Madrid's 32-meter area, Real Madrid's midfield pressing is more of a delaying and harassing tactic, and there is no determination to win the ball, whether it is Ronaldo, Villa or Kaka, the intensity of the pressing is not high.

However, just when Barcelona passed the ball to Iniesta, De La Reed fouled the ball about 30 meters in front of the goal, but it was not a card action, just gave Barcelona a free kick opportunity in the middle.

"Real Madrid's foul was smart!" Cruyff shook his head and sighed, "Just when Barcelona wanted to speed up, a decisive foul, De La Red, a player with a lot of brains, clean movements, no cards, not even warnings, but effectively defused a threatening 32-meter area attack of Barcelona." ”

A very ordinary foul, but at the Bernabeu Stadium it won a lot of cheers, obviously the fans who know how to watch the game know the brilliance of this foul, but most of the fans and the audience in front of the TV obviously just think that this is an ordinary foul, what is the point?

Direct free kick, Messi deflects the ball!

"The most important thing now is patience, after the opening 3 minutes, Barcelona got two free kick opportunities, got a shot on goal, Real Madrid has not been able to turn it around, Barcelona must do their best to maintain the current situation, as long as it continues like this, Real Madrid will show flaws sooner or later!"

In this game, Barcelona did not put many people into the attack, Messi and Pedro attacked, Iniesta inserted the strategy, Alves and Xavi were very careful, Busquets stayed more outside the 32-meter area, and the other four players in the back line basically did not move much, and more kept a certain distance from Busquets and Xavi.

At Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea was powerless against Barcelona's tactics, and now the world is watching, can Real Madrid find a way?

"It can be seen that Barcelona is now pressing the defense line very high, obviously trying to compress Real Madrid's offensive space, Real Madrid does not seem to be very suitable for Barcelona's tactical play, after being strongly pressed, there are a lot of passing errors, Barcelona's possession rate is very high, in the first NO minutes, Barcelona's possession rate is as high as 72."

The attack after the opening is indeed effective, whether it is Barcelona or Manchester United, they have used this tactic to cause Real Madrid's passivity, and now Barcelona is clearly to grab possession with Real Madrid, they are crazy in Real Madrid's half of the press, which is equivalent to using Real Madrid's half as the main battlefield.

The benefits for Barcelona are clear, as once the ball is broken, it is possible to create a counter-attack and create a threat, and if they make a mistake, they have a large buffer zone behind them.

As Cruyff said, the rush is effective, the key is to be durable!
