The Gao Shen team once again achieved an amazing victory at home!
As the battle at the Bernabeu came to an end, the news spread throughout Spain in a very short period of time.
Naturally, this also includes the Barcelona coaching staff at Barcelona's Sports City Gamper.
Tito Vilanova, accompanied by his assistant coach Jordi Luela, watched the Real Madrid game with several members of the core coaching staff and left a deep impression on them.
Especially the first half.
…
Barcelona's away game against Sevilla was scheduled the day before Real Madrid. The final score was 2 to 3. Barcelona didn't score two goals until the last moment of the game, reversing Sevilla.
But after the game, Barcelona suffered losses and ridicule.
The loss comes from the injury of midfielder Thiago, which will have a big impact on Barcelona's short-staffed midfield.
Fortunately, Puyol, Iniesta and other injured players will be back soon.
The taunting came from a red card in this game.
As a guest at the Pizjuan Stadium, referee Matteo was slightly lenient in enforcing the law in this game. Sevilla took the opportunity to increase the intensity of the fouls, which made Barcelona play very passively.
Iniesta's absence allowed Xavi and Cesc Fabregas to partner in the midfield. As a result, the rhythm of the entire game was steady and nothing new. This made it difficult for Barcelona to create a threat on the court and could only rely on Messi frequently.
.
Sevilla first made a quick counterattack, and Trochowski scored a goal.
Although Barcelona had more than 70% of the ball possession rate, they were never able to create a threatening offense.
After the start of the second half, Busquets made a pass error and was intercepted by Medel. Negredo got rid of Barcelona defender Alexander Song and scored Sevilla's second goal.
Five minutes later, Messi's direct pass and Pedro's counterattack allowed Cesc Fabregas to score a goal.
But then, Barcelona has been unable to create a threat.
The most controversial scene of the whole game appeared. In the 72nd minute, Sevilla's midfielder Medel had a dispute with Cesc Fabregas. The Chilean midfielder stepped forward and hit Francesco with his head.
Bregas' chin.
As a result, Fabregas immediately reacted in great pain, covering his face and turning away, as if he had been greatly hurt.
The referee Mateu immediately stepped forward and sent off Medel with a red card.
But it turned out that there was nothing wrong with Fabregas, which caused a violent reaction after the game.
Retired La Liga gold medal whistler Andujar accused Cesc Fabregas of being too exaggerated in the media.
The cause of the incident was that during the timeout of the game, Fabregas was holding Medel from behind and asking for the ball. Medel was unable to get entangled. After throwing the ball to his teammates, he struggled to break away from Fabregas. The two had a verbal exchange.
There was a conflict, but Medel stepped forward to hit him. The force was not heavy, and Fabregas did not fall to the ground, but his reaction was very painful.
Sevilla fans reacted on the spot and immediately created a new word on the spot, Falaiwu.
Afterwards, fans also discussed the game on social networking sites, "No team can beat a team that practices three kinds of ball at the same time. These three kinds of ball are football, handball and water polo."
The water polo refers to Fabregas's performance and Medel's red card.
The handball happened after the red card.
At that time, the game had reached the 89th minute, and the score was still two to one.
With one more player, Barcelona still had no way to defeat Sevilla, but at the critical moment, Thiago's handball intercepted Sevilla's pass. At that time, Sevilla's players were protesting the handball, and the referee stood there.
Thiago was next to him, but he did not make a penalty, and Barcelona took this opportunity to launch a counterattack, and Fabregas equalized the score.
Then in stoppage time, Villa scored another victory for Barcelona, and then completed the reversal.
After the game, the pro-Real Madrid media, led by Marca and AS, and the Catalan media, led by Daily Sport and Mundo Deportivo, launched a crazy battle. The Real Madrid-based media believed that,
Barcelona's reversal is a shame for La Liga.
A handball, a red card, is there anything more exaggerated than this?
Spain's relatively neutral El Mundo newspaper believed that Barcelona's victory over Sevilla was tainted by controversial episodes in the game.
The implication is that this victory is not convincing.
Even if Sevilla was given a red card, Barcelona still couldn't win, and even an equalizer was difficult. In the end, they relied on a handball to equalize the score, and took advantage of Sevilla's morale to be in disarray to reverse the opponent.
Many European media also believe that the referee Mateu has become the protagonist of the game.
…
It is precisely because Barcelona's game against Sevilla caused such a huge controversy, so Vilanova knows very well that Real Madrid is now beating Deportivo by a big score, especially the last two games, both are big scores.
It was obvious that the enemy's morale was at a high level.
Looking back at Barcelona, no matter how Fabregas defends it in the media, no matter how the Barcelona media explains it, controversy will always remain controversy, and the Barcelona players themselves know it.
If we really want to win Sevilla, do we still have to wait until the final stage?
In this game against Sevilla, Barcelona exposed not only offensive problems, but also defensive problems.
Barcelona's next biggest opponent is Real Madrid.
Profound Real Madrid!
"This game next weekend is our home court and we must win it no matter what."
Vilanova looked at his assistant Lula and others and said.
"If we win this game, the points gap will expand to seven points. This will be a relatively safe advantage for us. By then, our pressure will not be so great."
"But Gao Shen has never lost either at Camp Nou or against Barcelona. We..." Lula hesitated.
When Barcelona faced Gao Shen, there was still some psychological shadow.
"That was before, Jordi." Vilanova said confidently.
"We all know the relationship between Pep and Gao Shen. Gao Shen knows Pep very well, but he doesn't know me."
Vilanova's tactics are in the same vein as Guardiola's, but they are also very different.
More importantly, as Guardiola's assistant, he knows many of his problems and even mistakes.
He won't make the same mistake as Guardiola.
"Real Madrid reorganized the team this summer, and there have been a lot of changes. I have watched their previous games, whether it was Sevilla, Getafe, or their previous opponents. When they encountered pressing pressure, they passed the ball.
There are a lot of turnovers, and this is our opportunity.”
"You all saw the game just now. Deportivo's defensive organization was too bad. They gave Real Madrid too many spaces and opportunities, but we won't!"
Everyone, including Jordi Lula, felt Vilanova's ambition.
Since he took over Barcelona, no, before he officially took over Barcelona, he has already started planning the blueprint for Barcelona. If he does not want to live in Guardiola's shadow, he must prove that he is no worse than Guardiola.
And the best way is to achieve what Guardiola failed to achieve.
For example, the Triple Crown, for example, defeating Gao Shen!
No one doubts Vilanova's ability and ambition, because he not only helped Guardiola tremendously when he was an assistant coach, but more importantly, after coaching Barcelona, he has achieved a complete winning record so far.
Spanish Super Cup, complete victory, La Liga, complete victory, Champions League, complete victory.
If we say that La Liga started with six consecutive victories, and before him, four famous Barcelona coaches including Kruyinf and Guardiola had won it, then he was the only one who won the whole game at the beginning.
This is Vilanova’s greatest confidence!
This is also his purpose of coaching Barcelona!
"Jordi."
Vilanova looked at his assistant coach.
He is a direct descendant of Barcelona's youth training. He was originally the head coach of Barcelona's youth team. Later, he moved to coach other teams but failed to achieve success. In 2009, he returned to Barcelona as a scout and had a close relationship with Vilanova.
"Our Champions League match is one day earlier than Real Madrid's. After playing Benfica away from home, please make arrangements. I will go to the Bernabeu to watch the match between Real Madrid and Porto."
The video of the game is already very detailed, but in the end it is still not as comprehensive as watching the game live.
Although Vilanova was very motivated, he still decided to go to the scene to have a look and find out the ins and outs of the process.
"I'll arrange it." Lula nodded. After a pause, he looked at the analyst next to him, Carlisle Planchart, and then at Vilanova. "Tito, this time at the Bernabeu..."
Vilanova also noticed Carlisle Planchart who was eager to try.
Logically speaking, it is natural for the head coach to go out to watch the game, accompanied by assistant coaches and analysts. After all, with multiple people taking care of each other, many things can be discussed.
But Vilanova smiled and said, "Carles, I want to assign you a task."
Planchart looked at Lula with some surprise, and then at Vilanova. He suddenly understood, nodded and said, "You tell me."
"I need you to help me analyze the defensive problems of Real Madrid players, especially the cooperation between Xabi Alonso, Ramos and Pepe. These three people have not solved it yet. What will happen?
Our chance.”
Xavi Alonso is not a defensive midfielder, nor is he a traditional No. 4 position. Instead, what he is best at is a double midfielder, partnering with Mascherano or Khedira.
But after Gao Shen took office, he transformed Xabi Alonso into the fourth position, which is very noteworthy.
Let an organizational midfielder play the fourth position. Xavi Alonso's defensive ability is good, but is he competent?
"Understood, I will prepare it as soon as possible." Planchart felt a little confused, but still agreed.
He is Guardiola's confidant.
After Vilanova took office, he vigorously promoted his own people. However, he could not find anyone for the position of analyst for a while. It happened that Guardiola was resting, so Vilanova temporarily retained Planchart.
.
But everyone knows that as soon as Guardiola comes back, Planchart will definitely follow him.
Vilanova obviously had some grudges about this.
After all, deep down in his heart, he still wants to compete with Guardiola.
There is no first place in literature and no second place in military affairs. This has been the case since ancient times.
