Gao Shen increasingly admired what Beckenbauer said back then.
When you try every possible means to create a powerful attack point, it is often your most fatal weakness.
Just like this set of tactics of Barcelona, they desperately control the ball. In the end, it is precisely this passing and control system that has become a rut for Barcelona to further improve.
Not only are outside players having a hard time adapting to this tactical system, players inside are becoming more and more constrained by this system, without a clear understanding of themselves, and even making the same mistakes over and over again.
In Gao Shen's previous life, many people knew about Barcelona's problems, even Barcelona themselves knew about it, but they just couldn't change it.
All head coaches who want to change will end up with nothing good in the end.
No matter how strong it was back then, how strong the resistance to reform would be.
This is almost identical to Ferguson's retirement from Manchester United.
Now, the same is true for Barcelona he faces.
When there were no defenders around Xabi Alonso, the Spanish midfielder's advances took their toll on Barcelona's defence.
Di Maria retreated and received a pass from Xavi Alonso. When he turned and advanced, Alba had to follow him to mark, but at this time Carvajal quickly advanced along the right wing.
Alba suddenly fell into a dilemma.
Should we guard against Di Maria? Or guard against Carvajal?
The result was that Di Maria kicked the ball to the right wing, and Carvajal strode the ball to the baseline. He rushed forward as quickly as possible and rushed straight to the right side of the penalty area.
Barcelona's two central defenders had already retreated, but Puyol had to pull to the right, while Pique paid attention to Benzema and ignored Ronaldo behind him.
As a result, Carvajal passed the ball directly across the penalty area and landed behind the goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo stepped in at high speed, jumped up high, and headed the ball from close range into the left side of Barcelona's goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!
!”
"In the 19th minute, Real Madrid scored another victory!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo used a wonderful header to further expand the score for Real Madrid."
"Two to zero!"
The entire Bernabeu stadium felt like a festival.
Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats crazily, cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs.
So wonderful, so fast!
From stealing the ball to scoring the goal, the whole process went very quickly. Real Madrid caught Barcelona off guard.
Many Real Madrid fans didn't even see what was going on, and the goal was scored.
It is precisely because of this quick counterattack and goal that the Real Madrid fans in the stands became even crazier and more excited.
The entire Bernabeu was filled with cheers from Real Madrid fans.
Two to zero!
Real Madrid further expanded their advantage.
…
New York, USA, Central Park.
Guardiola and his wife were sitting in the living room watching this focus game being held in Madrid, the Spanish capital.
At this moment, hundreds of millions of people around the world are watching this game at the same time, which shows the influence of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But it was also in this world-famous game that Barcelona was beaten very embarrassingly by Real Madrid right after the start.
Judging from the ball possession rate, Barcelona has close to 70%, while Real Madrid only has 30%.
No matter how you look at it, Real Madrid played too conservatively.
But if you look at the offensive threats and scenes, everyone's impression will be completely overturned.
Barcelona, which has more possession of the ball, has not been able to create much of a threat. Twenty minutes have passed since the start of the game and they have only had one shot, but it has not been able to hit Real Madrid's goal.
On the other hand, Real Madrid, which has less possession of the ball, performed sharper. They have created five shots, three of them were on target, and they scored two goals. What an outstanding efficiency!
But behind this efficiency is Real Madrid's sharp counterattack.
When Real Madrid's counterattacks can tear apart Barcelona's defense again and again, the offense will naturally be full of threats and the efficiency will naturally be high.
"What happened?" his wife Cristina Serra asked with a frown.
She is also a fan of Barcelona and is a good friend of Gao Shen, but in this game, their whole family firmly supports Barcelona.
But now, Barcelona has been beaten too badly.
"It's been pinched." Guardiola said helplessly.
"Achilles' heel?"
Guardiola did not explain, because if he wanted to explain clearly what Barcelona's Achilles' heel is, it would require a long speech, and even if he did, his wife might not be able to understand it, because many things are not as simple as fans imagine.
In Guardiola's view, Barcelona is not only caught in a weak point, but more importantly, the players on the court do not know how to adapt.
Always play in the same rhythm.
On the other hand, Real Madrid's rhythm changes very quickly.
When you are defending, you have one rhythm, and when you want to counterattack, you change to another rhythm.
Even pressing and pressing, they have different rhythms.
In this case, Barcelona had a high ball possession rate, but it was difficult to control the rhythm.
This is very fatal.
Serra did not dare to ask whether the situation would be better if the head coach was here.
Because she knew that Guardiola and Vilanova had fallen out.
Although Guardiola did some things within his power while Vilanova was recovering from illness, a falling out was a falling out.
"If you were directing this game, would you have any chance of winning?" Sierra asked from a different angle.
Guardiola shook his head, "No."
The answer was very clear and concise.
"Barcelona's squad is very strong."
"Really not!" Guardiola repeated.
Sierra didn't quite understand.
"Gao Shen can make Real Madrid play this kind of defensive counterattack, but no one can make Barcelona play defensive counterattack." Guardiola said helplessly. This is the gap between ideal and reality.
Even if he is the head coach of Barcelona, he will not play defensive counterattack.
But I have to admit that when facing Barcelona, it is wisest to play defensive counterattack.
Looking around the world, who can compete with Barcelona in controlling the ball and attacking?
But Guardiola has to think about another question, that is, how to face this sophisticated Real Madrid?
Obviously, he has been polished into shape.
What Gao Shen needs to do next is to further improve and improve this team.
With his sophisticated character, he should be able to play many different tricks on Real Madrid, such as the four-three-one-two that he has used before, or other tactical formations.
Gao Shen has never been a serious head coach. On the contrary, he plays more and spends more money than anyone else.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
But he is very realistic, and he never takes risks with the team's results easily.
"Do you regret accepting Bayern's invitation?" Serra asked.
Not long ago, Guardiola met with Bayern executives for the second time in New York and accepted invitations from Rummenigge and Hoeness. When Heynckes announced that he would retire after the end of this season, Guardiola
Diola is willing to take over Bayern Munich.
This time it was Ferguson who had been involved before. At that time, Ferguson was attending a business event in the United States on behalf of Manchester United, so he helped invite Bayern executives and Guardiola out to dinner.
At that time, Guardiola thought Ferguson was going to invite him to coach Manchester United.
But looking at it now, coaching Bayern does not seem to be a good choice.
Because the sophisticated Real Madrid is about to rise!
"No, you are wrong, Cristina." Guardiola shook his head.
He looked sad, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"I can't wait even more now, because I need more pressure to think about how to restrain Gao Shen's tactics, which requires me to coach a giant team that has a chance to meet Real Madrid."
After Guardiola finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.
"In my coaching career, Gao Shen is like a towering mountain. I must surpass him!"
At the end of the sentence, Guardiola's eyes were full of determination.
…
The first half of the game ended with 2-0.
Real Madrid leads Barcelona by two goals.
This is mainly because after Real Madrid took a two-goal lead, Barcelona played more cautiously.
When Barcelona had the advantage of passing and controlling the ball, Real Madrid also played steadily and did not rush to grab the ball.
Because Gao Shen repeatedly warned before the game that the most important thing when facing Barcelona is to maintain integrity, and no one can act alone.
Either you don't move, or if you move, the whole team will follow.
When the players walked off the court, everyone seemed very excited. When they high-fived the head coach, they also gave him an admiring smile. They were obviously satisfied with the result of temporarily leading Barcelona 2-0 at home.
Gao Shen is also quite satisfied with the result.
Barcelona actually had opportunities. The most threatening one was a direct free kick from Xavi, but it was saved by Casillas.
Facts have also proved that Gao Shen's decision to let Casillas play in the cup and Courtois in the league has been a good supervision for both of them, making them more self-disciplined and in better shape.
It can be said that Gao Shen's handling of Casillas so far has been unanimously praised by the Real Madrid management, fans and media. After all, Casillas and Mourinho had such a dispute last season, and Gao Shen handled it this way.
It is already considered very good.
What's more, Casillas's girlfriend hardly appears in the headlines anymore.
Apparently, Casillas also restrained his girlfriend.
This love-minded guy also needs some pressure.
Of course, Gao Shen is also generous in his praise.
After returning to the locker room, the first person he praised was Casillas.
Varane also performed very well, and Gao Shen also gave his affirmation.
This young player worked really hard tonight, especially his defense against Messi, which was really good.
Gao Shen encouraged him to keep up his efforts and strive to keep Messi clean in the second half.
"If you can freeze Barcelona's attack in the middle, I will count you as the first contributor in tonight's game!" Gao Shen said with a smile.
Ronaldo was the first to respond with support and promised to treat Varane to dinner.
Everyone was making a fuss, shouting that the listeners should take part.
Everyone knows that if Ronaldo scores a goal, as long as he can keep Barcelona and Messi clean, he will win no matter what.
The Portuguese was in a good mood and agreed directly.
Gao Shen, on the other hand, gave suggestions and improvements one by one regarding several problems exposed by the team in the first half, but the more important thing was the second half.
"It's still the same sentence. Before the whistle blows at the end of the game, everyone must remain 100% focused and everyone must execute tactics. Only in this way can we defeat Barcelona!"
"I'm very confident that we can score another goal in this game!" Gao Shen said with confidence.
