Barcelona really doesn't have a good way to deal with Manchester City, because what Manchester City broke is what they rely on to gain a foothold. They were able to achieve top results this season because they took this tactic to the extreme, which made everyone
There is no way to fight against their tactics. From the beginning, what they have been thinking about is how to implement their existing tactics. Just like a person who has a knife in hand, he thinks about how to make his knife faster and sharper.
And now, this knife is under control. How could they find a way to break through themselves in such a short period of time!
So Guardiola adjusted in the locker room for a long time, and just told the players to boldly break through with the ball after getting the ball in the second half, and use their personal abilities to score goals, especially in the backcourt, and dribble the ball up front.
Disrupt Manchester City's man-to-man defense so that you can get more opportunities!
So after the start of the second half, Barcelona's offense began to be full of personal abilities.
However, after such a game went on for a period of time, Guardiola found with some frustration that even if he attacked with the ball from the backcourt, Manchester City's offensive players would not symbolically keep up with the two steps like in ordinary games.
He no longer follows the defense, but just like a defensive player, he follows tenaciously to the end. Even if he is temporarily shaken off, he will continue to catch up, and at the same time, it will not affect other people's man-to-man defense!
When he saw Ribery returning 50 meters from the front court to bring down Zabaleta who was assisting with the ball, Guardiola knew that Manchester City had indeed considered all the details of this game.
, their players are more prepared, that is, to completely block the entire Barcelona in this game! [
At this time, all Guardiola can count on are his top players. He hopes to rely on their personal abilities to score goals in such a defense!
His prayers, to a certain extent, worked. This Barcelona team does not lack superstars, nor does it lack players who can make the final decision at critical moments!
When the game reached the 60th minute, Harvey barely got the ball under Parker's pressure, then beautifully dodged Parker's defense, and then raised his foot to send a beautiful pass before Parker returned to defense.
When he headed the ball, Samuel was only one step away from catching up with Messi. Messi took off in the penalty area and immediately volleyed with his left foot into the dead center!
The ball flew into the door of Manchester City! As Barcelona's number one player, in such a difficult situation, Messi proved his worth with such a goal!
When Messi waved his fist to the stands, Torres clenched his fist.
Messi, as Barcelona's number one star, has scored a goal, but Torres, as Manchester City's number one striker, has not yet scored. Although a player's value is not reflected by scoring goals, Torres still holds back his desire to use his goals in the final.
Score goals to prove yourself!
Now Messi has scored nine goals in the Champions League, while Torres has scored seven goals in the Champions League. Before the start of the game, he was Messi's biggest competitor for top scorer, but now, he has been dumped by Messi.
Two goals were fired!
Dick frowned slightly, and then he made the first substitution of the game.
Di Natale, the goalscorer in the first half, came off and Benzema came on.
In the games so far, Di Natale, who had rarely appeared in the camera before, was also running desperately in this game, which caused his physical fitness to drop drastically. Instead of letting him
Barcelona has an opportunity to take advantage of, so it is better to make substitutions to maintain the vitality and dribbling ability on the field.
Apart from anything else, Benzema's personal breakthrough ability and coordination ability with the ball are quite outstanding. Barcelona has equalized the score twice in a row. If Manchester City can take the lead for the third time, how much room for counterattack will Barcelona have?
Their overall offense has been neutralized by Manchester City, and now they only rely on two individual performances to score goals. When they fall behind for the third time, such a sense of power is enough to make most of them lose their fighting spirit!
Dick has dug several holes for Barcelona, and now he wants to use them one by one on Barcelona!
The first goal relied on midfield pressing and through balls. The second goal relied on hitting the opponent's weakest defensive left wing and breaking through the defense of veteran Sylvinho. Both of these points can be used.
place, and there are still many places that can be used.
Barcelona's defense in the middle is also a problem. Although Busquets is the most suitable midfielder for Barcelona, he is a little less tough defensively. In addition, Xavi and Iniesta's physical fitness has declined somewhat at this time.
There were even fewer people to support him. When France controlled the ball to reduce the number of opponent's attacks, Busquets' shortcomings of not being strong enough in defense and not running enough began to be exposed more!
The game reached the 77th minute.
The goal that happened at this time was talked about by many people after the game, because from any point of view, it was a very wonderful and beautiful goal, both in terms of overall cooperation and personal ability.
It is fully demonstrated in such a goal!
Valdes took a big kick from the backcourt, Alves intercepted the ball near the center circle and passed it straight. Benzema received the ball and forced a breakthrough. Seeing that there was no gap, he quickly passed the ball back. Vidal followed up.
Quickly passing the ball to the left, Ribery took the ball two steps forward and passed the ball beautifully into the penalty area. Torres stopped the ball with his chest. When Puyol rushed over, Torres used a beautiful pass.
He passed the ball and lifted the ball over Puyol's head. Then before Pique came to make up the position, he raised his right foot and volleyed directly!
Valdez fell down, but still failed to touch the ball. The ball hit the lawn and then rose up, flew directly in front of his hand, and then plunged into the blind corner of the goal! [
"The ball went in! Manchester City took the lead for the third time in the game! Torres's dribbling pass this time was simply wonderful! He defeated Barcelona's two main central defenders by himself! Manchester City now leads Barcelona again three to two
!There are still more than ten minutes left before the end of the game. If this score is maintained until the end, then Manchester City will historically win the Champions League, and Barcelona will lose to the team led by Dick in the final for the second time.
Team!"
"If Barcelona still loses the final this time, it will be the greatest irony! A young coach who was rejected by their football schools has prevented Barcelona from winning the Champions League twice in ten years.
Champion! This kind of revenge is really thorough... But from Dick's perspective, of course he must try his best to win all the championships he can, no matter who the opponent is, but these two times he happened to encounter Barcelona... Barcelona
Can we take the lead for the third time in the next time?"
Guardiola's face became more and more serious. He did not make substitutions. The reason was very simple. The players on the bench could not be better than the players on the field. Although Barcelona now has a very strong overall team,
The main thing is to rely on this main lineup. There is no real force on the bench that can change the course of the game.
As time passed, the Manchester City players did not relax. When defending, they still focused on the Barcelona player closest to them one by one, so that they could not launch an attack through passing, and at the same time, they were ready to intercept at any time.
After launching a counterattack after the ball, Manchester City's three players in the frontcourt are all players with very good personal abilities. If there is a chance, they can give Barcelona another heavy blow!
Under such deterrence, Barcelona's offense showed little improvement until the 85th minute. When seeing that there was not much time left in the game, Dick did not make substitutions, but continued to maintain this deterrence.
Let the team continue to press and not show any signs of relaxation!
Finally, under such pressure, Barcelona's players collapsed. From the beginning of this game, they were playing in an awkward situation, and this awkward situation did not change at all until the end of the game.
Pass!
Puyol knocked down Torres who was holding the ball and was shown a yellow card by the referee. The players from both sides had a brief conflict on the court. Although they separated under the mediation of the referee, a few minutes were wasted again.
…
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Barcelona players left the field as if they were running away. Although they only lost one goal in this game, the whole game was so tangled that the Barcelona players
It was as if they had encountered a nightmare, and now they were finally freed from this nightmare. They no longer had the intention to stay in this game!
Guardiola has maintained a certain demeanor. In fact, as a new head coach, he has done well enough. He has swept all the way in the league and the King's Cup, and has basically not touched the Champions League.
We faced too many difficulties, but in the final, we lost with such a lack of temper. From this aspect, it seemed to prove how outstanding the team led by Dick was.
"It's a pity that we lost this game." Guardiola sighed.
"Any tactic can be cracked. There is no enemy tactic, only the enemy team." Dick smiled slightly. He did not leave behind any system or iconic tactical program, but he left behind
The cases of each game can always be studied by several people.
Guardiola sighed. Compared with top coaches like Dick, he still seemed inferior in experience. Although he only lost one goal, it seemed a bit accidental, but in fact Guardiola knew that if it were not
If luck is right, Barcelona may be a complete defeat, because the goals of Eto'o and Messi are more about the display of personal abilities, while Manchester City's goals are from the overall cooperation!
When Dick led his team to the podium, there were huge cheers. As the best head coach in Europe, Dick's achievements no longer need to be described. Dick stood on the podium.
On the podium, I glanced at a certain box from a distance.
Now, I can leave the UK that neither of us likes with you, and go to a country that we like... I will fulfill my promise, Charlotte.
Thinking of this, Dick took a deep breath, and then vigorously raised the Champions League trophy in his hand above his head.
For Dick, what he is lifting is not only this trophy, but also his future golden avenue.
In the coming days, he will regain his freedom and fight for himself, not anything else.
