530 How to use home field advantage

"There are 60 minutes left in the game. From now on, Tottenham has begun to retreat in full swing. This time is a bit too early, which is not safe for them. The opponent is Barcelona, ​​the team in the world's best attacking team, has now contracted, but it's a bit bad."

Reinkel is still doing game analysis, but he himself knows that such an analysis may be unhappy. After being sent off one person, Tottenham conducted a tentative attack. After finding that he could not stand up for the frontcourt attack, he immediately retreated to the backcourt honestly. This action made all Tottenham still have a glimmer of hope for Tottenham. It is a bit regrettable for those who hope that Tottenham can play some different games.

It seems that Li Bin has no choice but to attack Barcelona in the case of 10-on-11.

"In recent years, Premier League teams have faced Barcelona, ​​and they are basically defending the backcourt. Most of them have defended the backcourt and won the final victory with a solid wall. However, after winning, the evaluations they received are generally not very high..."

When Barcelona was playing football, they were killed by their opponents' backcourt more than once. After being killed more often, the Spanish media began to emphasize that this was caused by other teams not playing well enough. Tottenham had just played well in the last game, and this game returned to the road of not looking good enough. As the English football industry, which has been suppressed for many years in terms of reputation, it is of course a very regrettable thing.

But unfortunately, they all noticed another thing: Li Bin did not completely give up on defense, so he called Bale to his side and told him how to play. Soon, Leinker was analyzing.

"Relying on Bale's speed to counterattack? This seems to be the most feasible and desirable way. Bale is very fast and can quickly rush to level up for a long distance. It can also have a certain deterrent effect with Tottenham's tactic of defending the backcourt, at least it can prevent the opponent from daring to the full set. However, will this effect really be very big? Bale's breakthrough is no longer a secret now. How could Barcelona not be wary of it?"

Reinkell's concerns are meaningless. In the last game, Bale's speed had already impressed Barcelona. Therefore, when they saw Li Bin conspiring with Bale, their first reaction was that Li Bin wanted to make a quick counterattack and break through. This made Barcelona players immediately adjust their offensive. Puyol and Abidal stayed in the middle circle and dared not intervene, so as not to make any amazing moves to Tottenham.

In their opinion, this is enough - two people stayed in the backcourt and looked down on the opponent. When Barcelona was happy, they had a situation where the opponent was clearly in an offside position, but they did not foul the ball in the half-court, so they successfully counterattacked. In their opinion, no matter how fast Bale was and how strong the impact was, he was just a speed winger. As a Welshman, his skills were not particularly good. Is it not enough to defeat them if he left two people in the backcourt?

For speed-based counterattack players, one sticker and one follower is enough. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo comes, he will only have to stop the food when he is played like this. Bale is definitely not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, and Barcelona's back-back players are very fast, and there will be no unfavorable situation like Bayern players. So, what else is there to worry about? Two people are enough.

However, when Tottenham launched a counterattack for the first time, they knew that Tottenham's counterattack was not that easy to break.

When Yaya Toure got the ball and kicked the ball to the right, everyone knew that it was time for Bale to attack. Barcelona's left-back Abidal was the slowest, and it was unreasonable not to break through here. However, what people did not expect was that Di Maria rushed out almost at the same time as Bale. When he was defending, his position was also close to the middle. When Yaya Toure passed the ball, he almost rushed out on the right. On Tottenham's right side, two breakthrough masters rushed towards the backcourt together.

"Concentrate the two wingers on one side? Li Bin's counterattack was well arranged!"

The two wingers who quickly counterattacked were a huge threat to Barcelona's defense, especially when Pique happily ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack, the trouble was even more agitated. Bale easily passed the ball to Di Maria on the side. The two of them cooperated beautifully with two passes and one, and left Abidal behind. Then, the two cut in almost parallel positions and rushed towards Puyor in the penalty area.

But at this time, Puyol stuck his position very well. He stood a little behind the penalty area. At this position, he could ensure that the opponent could intercept it well whether he wanted to shoot at the top of the arc or cross from the bottom. Bale rushed to him, but found that his pass or breakthrough could be intercepted by him, which made Bale amazed in his heart: Puyol's defensive skills are indeed good. He heard Li Bin say that Cannavaro can do three in the penalty area, and he can't see that miracle, but now, he saw Puyol dealing with them alone.

Behind him, Valdes had already rushed out. Although he was a goalkeeper, at this time, he had to act as a scavenger to meet the needs of the team. He approached the post behind Puyol. In this way, if Bale came down, he could intercept. If Bale gave the ball to Di Maria, Puyol could intercept. Although the situation of two people on two was still not particularly good, it finally stopped Tottenham's rapid counterattack.

"There is half an extra defender behind Barcelona. Valdes can still play a lot of role here..."

Leinkele is a little regretful: Barcelona and Tottenham play in this way, and the goalkeeper acts as half a defender to participate in defense in the penalty area. Tottenham's counterattack is very good, but Barcelona's tactics and Puyol's strength make Tottenham's attack not particularly sure.

Pique had already recovered it, and at this time, Bale saw that he had no choice but to shoot with a kick and kick the ball towards the far post!

The football hit the door frame hard, and with a crisp sound, it popped out of the door frame. Pique, who was chasing back, received the ball and kicked it directly out of the bottom line, solving this false alarm.

"Spurs' counterattack seems to be very sharp, but it still cannot break the goal of Barcelona. Their counterattacks should not be many, so, such an attack is not very meaningful..."

Leinkell suddenly stopped his words, and he saw Bale walking towards the corner kick point. He asked the caddie to come over, and then tried hard to wipe the ball. After a long time, he placed the football on the corner kick point.

"In the last game, Tottenham did not take corner kicks so seriously. This situation is very special. Moreover, it seems that Bale's corner kicks have been punished by Bale for a long time. We only remember his speed, but seem to ignore Bale's other function, perhaps the corner kick tactics!"

Before Leinkell could finish his words, Bale's arc had already flew out. His ball had a very large arc, and the landing point was towards the back point, which was a very good ball. At this time, in the penalty area, Tottenham players were also running forward together.

Tottenham's height advantage is undoubtedly revealed at this time. None of the Tottenham players on the court were 180cm, and their opponent, including the 178cm high point of Puyol, had only three - Buzquez was not low, but his body was a joke - in the face of such an opportunity, Tottenham made a very good use of it, and Palmer at the back point fought for a scramble and pushed the ball towards the goal!

Valdes reacted quickly and pushed the ball out of the crossbar, not allowing Tottenham's attack to succeed, but even so, he was so scared that he let out a cold sweat.

"In the last game, Tottenham played at Camp Nou. The length and width of the Camp Nou were much larger than White Hart Lane, and it was not easy to find such a large stadium even in England. Therefore, in that game, Tottenham's set pieces basically had no chance to make achievements, and the big stadium made the players very uncomfortable. However, the situation seemed to be different in this game. Tottenham's set pieces played at home have a natural advantage, and they are more adaptable to their home courts. Moreover, Tottenham's home court has the help of rain - it rains and slips, affecting the bounce. This is another bad news for Barcelona, ​​which is generally insufficient in height..."

Barcelona's set-piece defense has not been particularly bad: Generally speaking, the set-piece defense in the world now uses regional defense and man-marking, and Barcelona is no exception. They are used to letting other players guard their opponents, while the two central defenders run freely to intercept and fill up positions. This style of play, coupled with the team's characteristics of their good running position, has always done a good job in defense, at least they have done a good job in La Liga teams.

However, Tottenham is not a La Liga team. Compared with La Liga teams, they have better physical conditions, stronger, taller, and better at fighting for tops, which are the common characteristics of all Premier League teams. In corner kick offense, they have the most physical contact with the opponent, and are closer than tightening defense. In corner kick offense, they also have the most bounces and heights. In these aspects, Tottenham has the advantage. Although Tottenham's ground offense cannot be organized now, they can still make their opponents speechless when talking about corner kicks!

Who said Bell can only fight back?

Even if you send our players out, our high points will still be more than you - unless the referee really sends out the five of us, no matter how much we punish, our high points will still be more than you! On this familiar field, no matter how we play, we can win!

If there is a high point, you need to have enough tactics to cooperate. And Tottenham players have been thinking about how to gain an advantage by relying on corner kicks since the game against Bayern. It was not until this time that they used this tactic.

Bale's corner kick was sent out. This time, Thiago Silva, who was at the penalty spot, pushed Busques away and rushed forward. He took a few steps forward and almost jumped up with Pique beside him. Then, relying on the impact and height after running, he easily over Pique and grabbed the player. Just on Pique's head, he shook his head violently and knocked the ball towards the goal!

"gooooal! The Tottenham players scored!! Thiago Silva!! What an amazing goal, he scored for Tottenham, an absolutely beautiful goal! Tottenham won the lead with one less player, and Tottenham scored!"
