Li Ang is very satisfied. The tactics he set for the team are actually a change of the combination of the Christmas tree tactics and the midfielder tactics. Modric's role is similar to AC Milan's Pirlo, who plays deep and organizes, while Ribey
Li and Juan Arango formed a bilateral attacking midfielder. This was a pioneering move and it made up for the lack of an attacking midfielder.
The biggest feature of this tactic is not to get entangled with the opponent in the midfield, but to use the width of the court, pass the ball behind the ball, and use the wings to avoid Barcelona's midfield stars. This is what Li Ang did for this game and for Li Jie.
Calder's tailor-made for Barcelona.
Rijkaard did not get angry on the sidelines because of conceding the ball. For today's game, Rijkaard was well prepared. He could not have thought that the team would concede the ball first. If it surprised him,
However, after coming out of the depression after losing the ball, Rijkaard comforted himself that conceding the ball at the beginning of the game was better than conceding the ball at the end of the game.
This meant that Barcelona had almost the entire game to turn the game around.
Rijkaard stared at the court. He had calmed down and was thinking about the mistakes he had made before.
He did not expect that Li Ang would let Diego start. This was really unexpected, because Diego Milito had been sidelined for more than two months after recovering from injury. So far, he has not officially returned and his status is unknown. He did not expect that Li Ang would actually
Diego Milito trusted him so much that in such an important game, he directly started Diego Milito.
Because of this, he did not make any targeted arrangements for Diego Milito in the pre-match preparations. This directly resulted in his players not knowing how to deal with Diego Milito on the court.
Of course, this does not mean that Barcelona players do not know how to play football without the instructions and arrangements of the head coach. However, a certain player's starting appearance is not only the meaning of the player's own existence, but also the meaning of a certain player's existence.
In this sense, it represents the tactical change of this team. Obviously, without Rijkaard's arrangement, Barcelona cannot form a targeted defense against Diego Milito.
Perhaps about ten minutes after the game started, Rijkaard's tactical instructions were passed on, and the players on the field could adjust themselves to cope with this change. However, Sporting Gijon's counterattack came too fast, and Barcelona's
Before the players could react, the ball had already been lost.
In addition, the tactical position Modric played today also caught Barcelona off guard. Modric has always been placed in the right midfield position by Li Ang, or sometimes he and Carlos form a double midfielder, and occasionally he plays as a forward
Therefore, in today's game, when Carlos and Marcos have formed a double midfielder, Modric starts, and Sporting Gijon adopts a single forward tactic, which will make Barcelona people subconsciously think that Modric will
He is the attacking midfielder of Sporting Gijon.
***********
This is a mental inertia!
It was this inertia of thinking that caused Barcelona to suffer. When Sporting Gijon's attack was launched, Modric was positioned very far back, retreated very deep, and was very close to Carlos and Marcos. This made
Barcelona's players were a little confused about the situation and didn't understand what role Modric played in the opponent's tactics today. In this case, seeing Modric far away from their own penalty area, they could only selectively ignore this person.
Modric is close to the two defensive midfielders. The most direct effect of this is that he can get the ball immediately after his teammates counterattack. Then, this Croatian youngster controls the ball beautifully, and after getting rid of it, he quickly passes a wide range of passes.
Sporting Gijon had no intention of passing the ball through the midfield through passing and cutting, and with one transfer of the ball, Barcelona's defense was torn open.
Barcelona, which had not yet entered the match state after the opening, was so powerful that it was defeated.
Although the goal conceded was partly due to the joint mistakes of Marquez and Belletti, from a tactical perspective, Sporting Gijon's tactics were very successful in this attack.
Rijkaard gritted his teeth. He had to admit that Leon was very cunning. At the same time, this Chinese was obviously a master of psychological warfare. He was very good at figuring out other people's psychology. He anticipated his own inertial thinking and acted in the opposite direction.
Finally, Barcelona was caught off guard...
***********
Rijkaard smiled bitterly. He had to admit that he had made an empirical error. When studying Li Ang's starting lineup and game tactics, he took some things for granted.
He predicted that Sporting Gijon would compete with Barcelona, so Barcelona did not place Marquez in the midfielder position today, but asked the Mexican to return to his original position as a central defender. In this case, in the midfield,
Barcelona is a combination of Xavi, Iniesta, Deco and Giuly. Except for Deco's certain interception ability, Barcelona's midfielder basically has no defensive ability, plus Ronaldo on the striker
Dinho and Eto'o, in today's game, Barcelona is a purely offensive lineup with a lack of protection in the midfield.
This is also one of the reasons why Modric can tear apart Barcelona's defense so easily with just one transfer of the ball!
The more Rijkaard thought about it, the more he felt that Leon was simply too cunning. He had guessed all his own thoughts and made the most tit-for-tat arrangement.
This opponent has improved a lot compared to the last time we fought, and is even more terrifying.
The last time the two sides met in the league, Sporting Gijon and Barcelona had a fierce battle. This certainly surprised Rijkaard and caused Barcelona to lose. However, in that duel, Barcelona did not understand Sporting Gijon.
Many, very unfamiliar, and was caught off guard. This also explains Leon's methods to a certain extent. However, that was an encounter, and it was a special case in Rijkaard's view. He thought that if he encountered Sporting Gijon again,
He will definitely be able to learn lessons and win, but this time they fight again, Sporting Gijon adopts conservative tactics, and in the conservative tactics, they hide so many murderous intentions and traps, which is amazing. At least for Rijkar
From the perspective of De, who is currently the most direct observer, Li Ang has made great progress and is becoming more difficult to deal with.
***********
Rijkaard stood up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and gestured to the players inside.
He wants Puyol to strengthen his defense against Diego Milito and stop allowing the Argentinian to easily get shooting opportunities. He believes that with the ability and experience of the Barcelona captain, as long as Puyol is alert, Diego Milito will be able to
The possibility of getting any good opportunities will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, Rijkaard also asked Deco to focus on interfering with Modric. Although Deco is not a defensive player, the Portuguese can attack and defend well, so Deco can still interfere with Modric to a certain extent.
Of course, the more important thing is that Barcelona's current midfielder, except for Deco, the other players' defensive ability is even worse. Deco's offensive talent is sacrificed to limit Modric, Barcelona also has Xavi, Yi
With Nesta and offensive talents such as Giuly and Ronaldio, there is no need to worry about the offense.
After reviewing and reflecting, Rijkaard did not choose to make substitutions and adjustments. The game had only started for more than a minute. Naturally, it was impossible to make substitutions at this time. Rijkaard could only make substitutions based on the existing starting lineup.
Adjustment, his adjustment is very direct, focusing on the key players of Sporting Gijon, Diego Milito and Modric. Modric seems to be the initiator of Sporting Gijon's offense today, and Diego Milito is the only one.
The center forward is, to a certain extent, Sporting Gijon's only offensive fulcrum. As long as these two points are defended, Sporting Gijon's counterattack can basically be contained.
Then, all Barcelona has to do is to use the strength of its offensive cluster and strive to score as quickly as possible to equalize or even overtake the score.
***********
Rijkaard's adjustment was expected by Li Ang. Because after seeing Diego Milito's attack point role and Modric's core role in this goal, he was still indifferent.
Then it would be impossible for Rijkaard to become the most popular representative of young coaches in today's football.
Yes, the 43-year-old Rijkaard is considered to be the representative of the young coaches in European football. Another representative of the 'young coach' is Mourinho, who led Porto to the UEFA Cup last year. Look.
After Cruyff's success, Barcelona regarded the Netherlands as their spiritual guide. From Cruyff in the Dream Team, to Van Gaal, to Rijkaard, the Dutch blood has been relaying in Barcelona. During this period, Koeman, O
Vimars, the De Boer brothers, Kluivert, Cocu, Reiziger, and Zenden, the Dutch have always been present at the Camp Nou. Rijkaard led Barcelona to the Barcelona dynasty that they have shown this season.
The return of vitality was even praised by the media.
Compared with Rijkaard, as for Li Ang, who is not yet 30 years old, he is called a "young marshal" and also belongs to the category of "young man". Li Ang and Rijkaard, two people, one led out of the army.
Super dark horse, a man who has led Barcelona, which has been in decline for many years, to restore glory. He has been leading the La Liga standings before. As Sporting Gijon's results get better and better, these two people echo each other. The showdown between the two of them is considered to be
The biggest highlight of La Liga this season is, however, because Rijkaard comes from a well-known family and Li Ang comes from a grassroots background. Previously, the media were generally optimistic about Rijkaard, not only about Rijkaard's current performance, but also about the Dutchman's future prospects.
…
Li Ang is very interested in this comparison made by the media. He knows the future historical trajectory and the success of Rijkaard in Barcelona. This Dutchman was born in the Milan dynasty in his player era and built the dream second team of the Barcelona dynasty in his coaching career. He is a Dutchman.
The outstanding coaches of this era can be compared and confronted with Rijkaard's nomination as a Gemini, which also shows that the media and football world recognize Li Ang.
However, most of the media are optimistic about Rijkaard. The proud Li Ang is full of fighting spirit. He is full of war and the two prides of La Liga. Obviously, he is not as majestic and proud as a dominating team.
Regarding how to fight against or even solve Rijkaard's Barcelona, Li Ang has a lot of doubts in his chest!
***********
Barcelona in the Rijkaard era focused on controlling the ball, and emphasized large-scale mobilization in offense, as well as deep penetration. In particular, Ronaldinho attracted the defense in front of the penalty area or kicked the wall for a two-on-one, or passed diagonally in front of the penalty area.
For Giuly on the other side, this kind of offense was common in the games at that time. Deco can be said to be good at both offense and defense. He was basically the player who violated and was violated the most in every game, which to a certain extent supplemented the strength of the defense.
But Rijkaard did not solve two problems well, one is to break the intensive defense, and the other is to defend the opponent's counterattack. Breaking the intensive defense is a worldwide problem, especially since Barcelona followed the original historical trajectory and won two games at that time.
After winning the championship, the La Liga team faced Barcelona and took the initiative to retreat and retreat bilaterally, forming a local personnel advantage and causing excessive density in the half. Once a strong midfielder was set up, Barcelona would more often have to pass the ball back.
Unable to pass deep and unable to score goals. Barcelona's backpasses at that time could not effectively consume the opponent's physical strength, because Barcelona's backpasses at that time were mostly static passes.
Therefore, if Barcelona cannot score first at this time, it will lead to an impatient mentality. The more anxious it is, the less it can solve the problem. If it scores, everything will be easy to handle, and big scores will often happen.
Faced with the problem of breaking through dense defense, Rijkaard has been pursuing high center forwards, from Maxi Lopez to later Good Johnson. Rijkaard's choice shows that he is helpless in breaking through dense defense and has to pin his hopes on
On the high center forward.
Another unresolved problem during Rijkaard's tenure was defense. In terms of personal ability, Barcelona's defense could be said to be top-notch at the time, with Puyol, Belletti and Van Bronk, but Barcelona's defense did not form a unified team.
There is a whole, especially in air defense and quick counterattack. The so-called no whole means that after the frontcourt players lose the ball, although they are actively pressing, they can always let the opponent find the passing point, and the opponent does not entangle in the midfield.
Pass to the frontcourt to find the center. The center may sit back and pass to the fast forward, or play directly behind him.
In the process of Sporting Gijon's goal, Liang's tactics perfectly restrained Barcelona, hitting directly behind and tearing apart Barcelona's defense. This is the reason.
***********
In the media gallery, Victor, a well-known reporter and critic from the French newspaper L’Equipe, was tapping away at his laptop keyboard. He conducted an in-depth analysis of Sporting Gijon’s blitz goal, and finally concluded that Liang Bilije
Calder was even better, and almost perfectly restrained Barcelona's tactics. The reason was basically similar to the previous paragraph: Rijkaard's Barcelona defense did not form a whole, and Leon's Sporting Gijon crossed the midfield and penetrated into the hinterland.
Tactics, simple, effective, direct!
Victor, who was quite excited, finished writing this instant review and analysis. After checking it over with endless enthusiasm, he sent it directly by email. About ten minutes later, this report and review appeared on the official website of "L'Equipe".
Attract everyone's attention.
At this time, the game had gone on for more than 20 minutes on the court. After losing the ball, Barcelona did not launch an attack immediately, but held steady for a few minutes in case Sporting Gijon took the opportunity to attack and saw Gijon.
Sporting steadily shrank its defense, with no intention of pressing it out. They began to launch wave after wave of attacks against Sporting Gijon's defense!
However, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light.
Barcelona faced Sporting Gijon's intensive defense and was unable to score.
