In the first ten minutes, both sides quickly scored a goal - Manchester City took the lead with a pressing attack, but Barcelona quickly equalized the score through a sneak attack. However, in the next game, Barcelona began to show
Exhibiting their strength, they began to constantly run back and forth and intersperse against Manchester City's running and pressing during the game.
The core spirit of Barcelona's passing is one triangle after another. Two or three triangles will always be formed around each player with the ball, which means that they have many passing routes. This kind of non-stop passing of the ball makes it difficult to
Defense, and Dick uses the simplest and most primitive tactic to deal with this kind of offense - man-to-man. Everyone has their own target to mark, so even if Barcelona's pass can form a triangle, it cannot be passed smoothly.
At the feet of teammates, in terms of personal ability, except for a few Barcelona players who have the ability to use their personal abilities to complete breakthroughs, it is not possible for other players to take the ball one-on-one and want to break through the defense of Manchester City players.
An easy thing.
Under such a defense, Barcelona's offense began to encounter great difficulties. The players on the Manchester City field were all players who could run and fight, making it difficult for Barcelona's offense to be organized smoothly. However, Manchester City's offense was
More speed and counter attacks!
On defense, Barcelona controls the situation more in the midfield and reduces the number of Manchester City attacks. Manchester City does not care about this. They prefer to pass directly behind the Barcelona defense after stealing in the midfield, just like the first one.
Like when the ball is played, if Barcelona shrinks its defense, then their high-pressing and closely connected characteristics of the three lines will no longer exist!
Many of the head coaches in the stands nodded in realization, but soon started to smile bitterly. This kind of tactic is actually very simple to think of, but it is difficult to have so many personnel under them.
And what about Dick? He used 200 million pounds in cash in two years to build such a team. Not only because he was rich, but also because he had a good vision and was able to buy really useful players.
There are very few players who make mistakes, and no one can compare to this.
Manchester City's style of play is certainly very energy-consuming, but the Premier League teams are quite excellent in terms of physical fitness. In addition, Manchester City prepared for ten days before this game to adjust the players' physical fitness to an optimal level.
In the best condition, under such circumstances, even if you keep running like this until the end of the game, there will be no problem!
This is what Dick wants to see, to disintegrate Barcelona's offense through physical fitness, and at the same time not to run blindly, but to use thorough man-marking tactics to disintegrate the foundation of Barcelona's offense. Under such circumstances, Barcelona's only effective
Offense means creating opportunities through personal breakthroughs!
After being attacked like this by Eto'o, Manchester City's players pressed harder and harder, which did not allow Barcelona to gain enough space and time to control the ball. It also made Barcelona's offense worse than usual to a greater extent.
It looks so sharp and smooth!
When Barcelona's system is completely broken, Barcelona's overall strength has no advantage compared to Manchester City!
The personal strength of Manchester City players is not inferior to that of Barcelona. They are at a disadvantage in some positions, but they still have some advantages in other positions. Under such circumstances, facing Barcelona, which is in full swing, Manchester City can really win.
There is a possibility of defeating your opponent!
On one side of the rostrum, an old man was looking at the situation on the field with a dull expression. This man was none other than Cruyff, the godfather behind Barcelona and the principal of La Masia Football School!
This year's Barcelona can be said to be the biggest fruit of Cruyff's twenty years of obscurity behind the scenes. In Cruyff's judgment, this year's Barcelona should be something that no team can compete with.
They play the most advanced tactics in the world, have the best overall team, and have top players like Messi. However, in the finals so far, Cruyff has been scared.
Obviously, Manchester City knows how to restrain Barcelona's playing style, and they have shown this on the court - what Cruyff is afraid of is not the strength of this game, because there are always accidents in the game, even if this game is lost
However, in this game, Dick showed the world that he has feasible tactics that can restrain Barcelona.
With his style of play, it only took him two years to destroy the system that Barcelona had spent twenty years building!
Cruyff's thoughts began to return to ten years ago, when the young Asian with a weird name was waiting for him outside the La Masia football school and handed him the stack of carefully crafted footballs.
The team's training plan and direction... Dick ten years ago already had such a vision for building a team, so will Dick ten years later not know how to deal with this kind of tactics and system?
He could see the ambition in Dick's eyes. Cruyff could see that Dick was a person who was unwilling to be inferior to others, so he refused Dick to join Barcelona. Similarly, because Cruyff could see that Murry
Neo's football philosophy is completely opposite to Barcelona's football philosophy, so Cruyff never agreed with Barcelona asking Mourinho to coach the team.
Cruyff did not think what he did was wrong, but at this moment, thinking of the scene ten years ago and seeing the scene on the field now, Cruyff couldn't help but feel a little chilly.
Maybe these twenty years of hard work will be stopped by Dick... Is this considered reincarnation? Barcelona has been so close to the top twice in the past two times, but it was blocked by Dick! Being rejected by this person who once rejected them
blocked by someone! And the earlier time was blocked by Mourinho, who had never been accepted by Barcelona...
When Cruyff's emotions were extremely complicated, Manchester City on the field finally created another opportunity after constant pressing!
Alves, who provided the assist, forced a breakthrough from the wing after a two-on-one with Vidal. He broke through the veteran Sylvinho and then passed a beautiful cross. Torres hit the chest behind.
Stop the ball, and before Puyol comes up to defend, he immediately volleys with his right foot into the far corner!
The ball hit Pique, who was filling in, and bounced back into the penalty area. Di Natale, who had never appeared in the camera before, appeared in front of everyone in a posture that made everyone in Barcelona heartbroken.
…
"Di Natale follows up! Follow up!"
He immediately raised his right foot and accurately hit the lower part of the ball. The ball quickly changed direction and flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
Although Valdes reacted immediately, he still could not save the ball. The ball quickly entered the goal. When the net began to tremble violently, the Manchester City fans who occupied half of the stands began to cheer loudly.
!
Dick clenched his fists, jumped up from the coaching bench, and roared loudly into the stands!
Taking the lead again! Although this was not the first time he defeated Barcelona, the one who took the lead twice in a row this time was the unparalleled six-time champion Barcelona in history!
This kind of result is much more exciting than the last time!
Mansour in the box clapped his hands vigorously. Although he didn't know much about football, he could see the score. Now his team was in the lead again in the highest-level final of the entire European club!
In just two years, his team is about to reach the top of Europe - if it does, then he will be better than Abramovich. It has been four or five years since Abramovich has still not been able to reach the top.
He has only been able to win the Champions League and even reach the final once, and it only took him two years! This is because he chose the most correct coach!
"Manchester City took the lead again! At the end of the first half! Barcelona encountered the biggest dilemma. They have never been forced like this by their opponents this season! Not only because of the score behind, but also because of the changes in the situation on the field!
Now they are completely unable to open up the situation through their own passing. Instead, they are being suppressed by Manchester City. If this continues, just falling behind by one goal may not be enough. Maybe they will lose miserably in the second half! For Guardiola
Said, now the problem he has to face is very serious, can he have the ability to adjust on the spot like Dick?"
Dick's level of on-the-spot adjustments has always been a topic that many people talk about. Few people can be like him. He can achieve good results almost every time he makes substitutions. Everyone will fail sometimes. Dick
When you fail, it's very rare.
When the first half of the game ended, everyone's eyes were fixed on the man who walked into the tunnel with his head held high. It was this man who prevented Barcelona from reaching the top again and again.
To get himself to the top - if he can beat Barcelona, which was almost unstoppable before, then another question will arise - who will stop him?
Guardiola walked into the tunnel with a serious expression. The halftime break was only twenty minutes. During this period, his work will be very busy.
"Barcelona will not have any way to deal with our defense. The only way they can respond is to strengthen their personal breakthroughs and try to use some breakthroughs to deal with our defense... So you can't relax in the second half and give up your own
Position, follow their players! Mark them one by one, so that they can't organize an attack! There are still forty-five minutes, we will be able to persist until the end... win this game, and the bonus is waiting for us
!Do you understand?”
"Understood!"
The Manchester City players shouted loudly. They longed for this championship. This championship could bring them glory, wealth and fame. The actual benefits and invisible benefits would make them even more eager. So even though they have not been in the army for a long time,
You can still have the best morale and desire!
A temporary army? Our team is indeed a temporary army, but even compared to Barcelona, we will agree that it is excellent, because the leader of this team is me! With me, Dick, any team can
