In the tenth round of La Liga, Barcelona reversed course again!
Why say again?
Because I don’t know how many times this has happened.
After returning from the Champions League, they faced Deportivo La Coruna at home. Irueta's team turned away from home at the beginning and launched a wave of attacks. In just seven minutes, Munidis broke through from the right and passed from the center.
The defensive players failed to clear the ball in time. Spanish left winger Forlan stopped the ball in his chest and hit the far corner with a volley.
During the process of Fran stopping the ball and volleying, there were no defensive players around him.
Where did Marcos go?
He went to make up for the central defender's leakage and fight for the spot.
What about the two central defenders?
Puyol pressed forward to grab the ball, but Oleg immediately vacated his position.
This kind of mistake has happened countless times this season.
…
Just five minutes after Deportivo's goal, Barcelona's offense began to gain momentum.
Ronaldinho sent a direct pass from the left, and Sudong made a diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area. After getting the ball, he passed center defender Romero and hit a powerful volley with his left foot, successfully equalizing the score for Barcelona.
Subsequently, Barcelona launched a fierce attack on Villarreal.
In the 38th minute, Ronaldinho again sent a direct pass in a quick counterattack. Su Dong broke into the left rib of the penalty area against offside and volleyed hard. After the ball was saved by the attacking goalkeeper Molina, the ball from the right
Winger Jiuli followed up in time and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.
Two to one!
Another reversal!
This score remained until the end of the game.
With goals from Su Dong and Giuly, Barcelona reversed Deportivo La Coruna 2-1.
…………
…………
They got valuable three points, but the outside world's evaluation of Barcelona is quite contradictory.
Mundo Deportivo was full of praise for Barcelona's attack.
"Barcelona's powerful offensive allowed Deportivo to constantly expose its flaws, and in the end they even had to adopt a defensive strategy to barely hold on to the goal."
"Barcelona plays great football!"
World Sports News believes that whether it is the flash of inspiration from a superstar or the gorgeous coordination like mercury, Barcelona's offensive system has reached the point where it is impossible to guard against, and goals come easily, making all opponents shudder.
But World Sports also said, "Defense has become the biggest obstacle hindering Barcelona's continued progress!"
This Barcelona mouthpiece listed various problems with Barcelona's defense this season and believed that it is necessary for the team to strengthen signings during the winter break, especially the introduction of midfield and backfield defensive players, so as to ensure that the team can advance in the Champions League.
further.
…
With the El Clasico just around the corner, Real Madrid's mouthpiece Aspen also spoke highly of Barcelona's offense, believing that the frontcourt trident composed of Sudon, Ronaldinho and Giuly is no less powerful than Real Madrid's.
Superstar lineup.
"Judging from the performance of the last two rounds, Barcelona's biggest problem lies on the defensive end."
Aspen analyzed Barcelona's two games against Athletic Bilbao and Deportivo La Coruna. They all lost the ball first and then reversed it through strong offense. This was even the case when facing Juventus in the Champions League.
in this way.
"That creates a huge risk."
"Relying on Su Dong's continuous scoring goals and relying on Ronaldinho's flashes of inspiration, Barcelona can make up for the mistakes in the defense through continuous scoring offensively. But once Su Dong fails to score, Ronaldinho's flashes of inspiration can make up for the mistakes in the defense."
Nardinho is not working, so how can Barcelona rely on to reverse their opponents?"
Aspen believes that the weak defense makes Barcelona look strong, but in fact it is very fragile.
On the other hand, Real Madrid, after the turmoil of the coaching change, has kept clean sheets and scored five goals in the past three rounds, showing a very stable performance.
"We have absolutely reason to believe that in the upcoming El Clasico at Camp Nou, Real Madrid has the opportunity to overthrow Barcelona and interrupt Barcelona's winning streak this season!"
The El Clasico will be held at the Camp Nou in the twelfth round.
…
Not only Mundo Deportivo and AS, but even Barcelona's godfather Cruyff slammed Barcelona's defense in columns.
"With such defensive intensity, it's hard for me to imagine how far they can go in the Champions League knockout rounds!"
Cruyff was very dissatisfied with the team's defense. He said that if Barcelona is determined to achieve results in the Champions League and win La Liga, it must introduce defensive players during the winter break to strengthen the team.
's defense line.
Cruyff's judgment was not without reason.
In the column, the godfather of Barcelona came up with a piece of data, saying that the player with the most steals in Barcelona this season turned out to be Deco.
"This reflects a problem on two levels. First, Barcelona does have a group of players who are both offensive and defensive and at the same time superior, such as Deco and Xavi. They are both very outstanding."
"Second, under the banner of offensive football, the team's key defensive areas are being pushed forward, and Deco and Xavi have become the team's most important defensive barriers in the midfield."
"But conversely, it can also be seen from the first question that Deco and Xavi must be too distracted by the team's defense and unable to focus on offense and organization. From the second question, it can be seen that there is a lack of confidence in the Barcelona team.
All the players know that once they pass through the defense of Deco and Xavi, the opponent can easily shoot or even score a goal, which is very dangerous."
Cruyff said that Barcelona is the weakest team in La Liga. The three fronts are very long and the schedule is very intensive. This is not conducive to maintaining the status of the players and there will definitely be ups and downs.
Once the frontcourt attack fails, what should the defense do?
If other teams have seized on this weakness of Barcelona, can Barcelona's offense still be successful?
Isn’t that the problem with Galacticos Real Madrid?
Finally, Cruyff affirmed Barcelona's achievements this season, including its football style and the best offensive firepower in La Liga. It is also one of the teams with the fewest goals conceded, but he said that the data cannot truly reflect it.
Show the full picture of the game.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Especially in these recent games, as the season progresses, it is obvious that Barcelona's defense is becoming more and more problematic."
…
From the media to celebrities, from the head coach to the players, almost everyone knows that Barcelona needs to strengthen its defense.
Club president Laporta and vice president Russell have also come forward, saying that Barcelona is formulating a signing plan for the winter break, and the top priority is to strengthen the signing of the midfield and backfield.
Rijkaard also said in an interview with the media that he hopes the team can introduce a defensive midfielder during the winter break.
"This will allow Marcos to return to the defense and partner with Puyol."
Obviously, Rijkaard was not satisfied with Oleg's performance.
Both Edmilson and Motta were injured, which left Barcelona with no one in the deep-lying midfield position and had to push Marcos up. But as a result, there was another problem with the defense.
There was news before that Barcelona wanted to sign Zaragoza central defender Gabriel Milito, but the transfer has not progressed.
Now, with the calls from mouthpieces and Cruyff, Barcelona has also begun to consider strengthening the introduction of midfielders and backfielders. The first one to bear the brunt is the deep-lying midfielder that Rijkaard wants. This can solve two problems in one go.
The main reason is that it is difficult to find central defenders, especially there are not many central defenders who meet Barcelona's requirements and can take the ball and play the ball.
But the position of deep midfielder is also difficult to find.

"According to the information I have received, Barcelona's contacts with Roma and Lazio have failed."
Mendes brought the latest news to Su Dong.
This is also a recent rumor from the outside world. It is said that Barcelona wants to sign Roma midfielder Dacote.
The veteran's performance in Rome was not ideal, but Barcelona believes that his strength is still there. The most important thing is that it doesn't matter if his performance is not good, and the transfer fee is not expensive.
"Barcelona has another target, and that is Atalanta's Albertini, who has performed well this season."
Su Dong is still very grateful to Albertini and will be very happy if he comes to Barcelona.
But I have to admit that the Italian midfielder is really old, he is 33 years old.
Su Dong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why are they all veterans?"
Mendes smiled, nodded and said: "Barcelona has no money!"
Su Dong was slightly stunned, but soon understood the reason.
After joining Barcelona, he gradually learned more about the inside story. For example, the money Barcelona paid to sign him was paid in installments, because the share given to him by Valencia was also paid in installments, and part of the down payment was borrowed from a bank loan.
, and the other part was raised by selling players.
This is why Barcelona, a giant in La Liga, has the weakest first-team lineup among the 20 teams in La Liga.
"I originally wanted to recommend Maniche." Mendes seemed a little uninterested. "You know, everyone else has left. Maniche is also very tempted to stay in Porto. He also wants to leave. If
If possible, I hope he can join Barcelona, but I had contact with Laporta and Rosell today..."
Mendes shook his head, "They can't afford Maniche!"
Su Dong smiled bitterly, who would believe it if he said this?
But he doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing.
He is a professional player, so Laporta and others will naturally have to worry about the management of the club.
"I guess they still hope to rent out or buy out cheaper players first, preferably one or two million euros, but where in the world can they find such high-quality and cheap players?" Mendes couldn't bear it.
Zhuhehe laughed.
If you really have them, pack ten of them for me and I’ll sell as many as I have!
Su Dong also felt helpless about this. He knew in his heart that Cruyff was right. If this continues, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to enter the knockout rounds of the Champions League because the targeted tactics will be stronger at that time.
When that time comes, the team will continue to be distracted by La Liga and the Champions League, and its results will definitely be greatly affected.
Signings are necessary, but the problem is, there is no money now.
Su Dong can imagine that Barcelona's management is very worried at this moment.
At this moment, a person suddenly flashed in Su Dong's mind. He had left a deep impression on him before. He had just seen it in the media not long ago and said that he had not been reused.
Su Dong immediately took his laptop and searched it, and found it quickly.
