394: A passive Champions League champion at the start

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Looking at Barcelona's starting lineup in the stadium, Tong Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Guardiola on the other side.

Guardiola obviously made special arrangements for this game, because Pique sat on the bench, allowing Abidal, who played as a full-back, to move to the central defender position.

What is the intention?

Guardiola was obviously targeting the high pressure of Munich 1860.

He knew that under the high pressure defense of Munich 1860, the space for midfielders to hold the ball and pass the ball would be very small. Even masters like Xavi and Iniesta would have difficulty holding the ball and passing the ball. This is Munich 1860.

The power of high-position oppression.

Guardiola has devoted himself to studying the Munich 1860 game videos.

Munich 1860 relied on this method to defeat Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Porto. Moreover, Porto also pressed and defended in a high position, but Munich 1860 defeated them, which shows that Munich 1860's high position pressing is more powerful than the Porto people.

Therefore, he must make adjustments.

Abidal came to the central defender position, naturally to strengthen the defense's ability to control the ball and pass the ball.

Sometimes Abidal would even move into the midfield midfielder position, allowing Iniesta to return to the center back position and return to the defense to control the ball and organize the attack.

Otherwise, why would Iniesta appear in the defensive midfielder position instead of Keita?

Keita's defense is obviously better than Iniesta's, and when it comes to protecting the back line, Keita is countless times better than Iniesta.

However, Guardiola just let Keita go to the wing and Iniesta appeared in the midfielder position.

Obviously, it is aimed at the high pressure of Munich 1860.

Also, Valdez also has the ability to control the ball with his feet.

Therefore, with this lineup, Barcelona's ability to control the ball and pass the ball in the penalty area is very good.

This will cause a lot of trouble for Munich 1860.

However, Tong Yi was not worried or anxious.

Because their high post pressure is holistic, not between one or two people. Even if Barcelona's ball control and passing are very good, it will still be very difficult to play.

Munich 1860's high-position pressing starts from the front line, and the crazy pressing of Costa and Griezmann was also developed in these two seasons, like two fierce lions.

Especially Costa.

This will definitely leave a very deep impression on Barcelona people.

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona took the lead in attacking. It was obvious that they were still playing according to their classic tactics, which emphasized controlling the ball and passing the ball. Several times the football was played more often in their own half, and they still

Emphasis on ball control.

However, the players of Munich 1860 were like a pack of hungry wolves, crazily pressing past the half-court and pounced on the football like prey.

And although the players of Munich 1860 were crazy, their formation was not chaotic at all. It was like a big net that directly caught the Barcelona players in the center. Xavi, who was holding the ball, quickly moved his head left and right to find the point where the ball would be released.

Not found.

In his eyes, all the points forward were cut off.

At this moment, Costa's hungry tiger pounced on him.

Xavi passed the football back to Abidal on the back line.

Abidal immediately passed the football to Iniesta in front. As soon as the football was passed, Abidal panicked and regretted it. He immediately shouted "Someone is coming!"

Iniesta, who was about to catch the ball, understood it and immediately turned sideways to protect the football with his body, and then immediately pushed the football back to Abidal.

Just when the football rolled away from his toes, Iniesta felt a gust of wind coming from behind him, and one foot stretched out from behind him like lightning and stabbed the football.

Griezmann!

Griezmann is here!

Just a little bit! Just a little bit, Griezmann stole the ball.

Iniesta also felt very hung up. The opponent's high-position pressing was really too strong, and they didn't even have time to comfortably control the ball and pass the ball.

Iniesta's hasty ball also landed at Abidal's feet accurately. This is Iniesta's ability, it is really strong.

Seeing this, Tong Yi was also very envious.

It would be great if they had a midfielder like this in their lineup!

Abidal looked up at the frontcourt and made a long pass, quickly passing the football to the wing. Villa, who was advancing from the wing, immediately moved forward, preparing to receive the ball.

At this moment, Munich 1860 full-back Walker rushed out quickly and pushed the football out before Villa. The football flew to the feet of De Bruyne in the frontcourt, and Munich 1860 successfully stole the ball.

The media reporters and fans at the scene were all shocked. They did not expect that Munich 1860 could force Barcelona to this point.

This... the script is wrong!

Guardiola frowned slightly on the sidelines. Munich 1860's high-position press was really interesting. It seemed to be specifically aimed at them.

Even with Xavi and Iniesta in the midfield and a perfect tikitaka system, they were restricted by Munich's 1860 high-pressing defense.

The core of tikitaka's system is actually frequent running and short-distance passing. Its core idea is to maintain control of the ball and reduce the pressure on the defense.

Barcelona's players are running very frequently now, but the connection between them is blocked by Munich 1860

The defensive players of Munich 1860 were cut very hard. The space for holding the ball and passing the ball was also severely oppressed by the defensive players of Munich 1860. More importantly, the players of Munich 1860 were very fierce. Once they lost their position, they would take fouls.

, not giving the Barcelona people any chance.

To be honest, facing this kind of defense, Barcelona still performed at a level that amazed people around the world.

Both Xavi and Iniesta occasionally performed like this, making deft escapes and forcibly creating opportunities.

However, they will all be fouled by Munich's 1860 people at the first opportunity.

Munich 1860's defensive fouls were very fierce, and the pressure on the Barcelona people was very strong. However, from the referee's perspective, this defensive action was not worthy of a yellow card.

Therefore, this is the most uncomfortable place for Barcelona people.

The Barcelona people are now completely trapped in Munich 1860's defensive quagmire. The more they struggle, the deeper they sink. Now, they are entangled in it and cannot break free at all.

Just now, Xavi used his skills and experience to force a return smash to get rid of the defensive player Nainggolan. He instantly saw Messi advancing forward, a good opportunity!

Boom!

Before Xavi could rush the ball, Nainggolan stretched out his hand and pulled him to the ground.

The referee immediately called a foul.

However, the Barcelona players were very frustrated. This was a good opportunity. If you called a foul, why didn't you play the card? If you didn't play the card, what would you call? Our players have already saved and Villa has come back.

Villa will soon be able to get the ball and organize the attack again.

However, the referee still whistled a foul because he saw Munich 1860 full-back Walker rushing forward. Even if Villa got the ball, he would probably be brought down by the foul.

It's better to just blow it.

Guardiola on the sidelines also saw it very clearly, and his heart was tight. Obviously, the defensive level displayed by Munich 1860 live was sharper than what he saw on TV. In this game, to

So far, Munich 1860 has performed very well, very amazingly.

If Munich 1860 can maintain this state for the whole game, Barcelona may not be able to win this game.

Guardiola thought to himself, "Sure enough, this Chinese guy really has something, he's very powerful!"

Harvey immediately stood up, put pressure on the referee, and signaled that the referee could play the card.

Such an action can result in a warning card, or even a direct red card and Nainggolan being sent off.

The referee shook his head slightly and rejected it.

"Hi! The progress of this game was really beyond our expectations. We all think that Barcelona's offensive strength is super strong. In this game, Barcelona
The game should have been easily won and the goal should have been scored quickly. But now it seems that is not the case!" Fred said suddenly.

Kahn's eyes were fixed on the court, lost in thought.

Klinsmann's face was full of surprises. He immediately said, "This is indeed beyond our expectations. David's tactics obviously restrained Barcelona's tactics. Barcelona's midfield has so many masters, it is still difficult to

The ball is released, which shows how powerful David's tactics are. I really didn't expect that this game would be like this. David is really amazing!"

Fred immediately stared at Klinsmann in surprise and immediately asked, "You mean Munich 1860 can win this game? They defeated Barcelona?"

Klinsmann shook his head slightly and said, "Munich 1860's good fighting speed is indeed a bit restrained by Barcelona. But it is really difficult for Munich 1860 to win this game, almost impossible! Barcelona's strength is very strong

Yes, they are restrained now, but their ability to adjust is very strong, and the creativity of the players is also very strong. As long as these masters of theirs have a flash of inspiration, Munich 1860 will be finished. And Munich 1860's defense

It is difficult to maintain the whole game, but Barcelona can. Therefore, Munich 1860 still has little chance of winning, or even almost none!"

Fred nodded slightly, feeling that what Klinsmann said made sense.

However, at this time, Kahn suddenly said, "What if Munich scored first at 1860?"

Suddenly, Klinsmann and Fred were both shocked.

Yes, what if Munich scored the first goal and took the lead at 1860 and then defended it completely? Can Barcelona make a comeback?

The commentary box was silent for a long time.

Klinsmann said, "Even so, Barcelona should win. Again, Barcelona has too many geniuses. As long as they have a flash of inspiration, Munich 1860 cannot stop them. I think this game is still

Barcelona will win."

Fred also said: "Yes, I am also optimistic about Barcelona."

Kahn also nodded slightly and thought so.

At this moment, Nainggolan in the midfield suddenly intercepted the football from Xavi's feet.

Counterattack, Nainggolan immediately launched a counterattack quickly.

He immediately pushed the football to Costa who was running forward, and Costa caught the football directly. Then under Abidal's defense, he suddenly pushed the football back.

Matic followed up and took a heavy shot from a distance of 32 meters from the goal.

With a bang, the football shot quickly toward Barcelona's goal.

The Barcelona fans at the scene screamed in horror, because the long-range shot was of very high quality and flew straight towards the Barcelona goal.

Very dangerous~!
