Chapter 143：CHAPTER 172 - El Classico (2)

Tiqui-taca

In Spanish, ping pong balls come and go, and now it's called a play style.

In fact, Tikitakah was introduced to Barcelona from the time of Johan Cruyff 40 years ago.

This led to Reikart's outstanding performance first, and then to the world's reputation as used by Del Bosque of the Spanish national team.

This year, Guardiola completed his own tactics by incorporating his soccer philosophy into Tikata.

Simply put, the tactics can be compared to "basketball."

As you spin the ball, you move more than your opponent and pay extra attention to your position.

At the same time, the rhythm, tempo, and flow of the game must change over time.

Pressing to Score

Pass for scoring.

Possesion to score.

And an aggressive attitude that encompasses all of this.

That was Guardiola's tactic.

People called it Pep's Tiqui-taca, but I hated the name "Tikitaka."

I thought it was rubbish, not football, to give and receive passes just to keep the share.

All of the actions on the field must contain "aggressive disposition," Guardiola, who Nunu emphasized to Barcelona players.

If he didn't see it in training or in practice, he couldn't help but think of a high career.

Rather than scoring goals, the goal was to score goals.

You can score goals at any time if you have a solid course.

That was Guardiola's philosophy of football.

At the moment, it was called the 'trouble-free tactic'.

Guardiola himself thought so.

Nobody can stop it.

By the way.

Real Madrid's formation changed in a completely unexpected direction.

Robben was moving to the right and actively participating in the defense.

It was virtually like a five-bag.

Woo Ho-young and Zidane returned to Jungwon to play the central midfielder.

It happened two minutes after the game started.

It was then that Tactics Coach approached and opened his mouth.

"Director. Real Madrid are currently using a 5-3-2 formation. This is similar to the formation that Argentina used to make the most of Maradona during the 1988 World Cup, but it's a lot different. What Madrid is using is not extreme attack tactics, but extreme defense tactics. "

That was right.

Real Madrid started off with a 5-3-2.

It was a rarely used tactic these days, but in Italy it was an aggressive variant of 5-3-2, but it was rare in La Liga.

'Why suddenly? Are you just going to counter-attack after the defense? '

The question asked a tail, but there was no answer that came to mind.

I needed time.

I needed to know what Schuster had.

One thing is for sure.

'Damn it.'

Feeling cheap.

I felt like I had a shot before the game started.

First half minute.

Barcelona played their own game.

When the ball fell to Real Madrid, it moved insane to take the ball within six seconds, and when it took possession, it gained its share through a pass in the midfield.

They were playing as they dominated the half-court, raising their share to 63%.

Barcelona seemed to be overwhelmingly advantageous.

[14 minutes past, Barcelona's share rose to 70%. The pass rate in the midfield is close to 93%. Real Madrid is leaving it as it is.]

[That's right. Changing the formation to 5-3-2 for extreme defense, but can't do anything. Of course, I'll have to watch a little bit more, but I've seen it so far. I'm not as good at defending as I've increased the numbers. Arjen Robben's defense isn't good. There must be a defensive limit for attack resources?]

Barcelona's strong attack comes from its high share.

Real Madrid, however, was encouraging them to play rather than stop them.

'Are you going to use Robben as the pinnacle of counterattack?'

Guardiola's thought was so.

'But it's not threatening.'

Guardiola immediately ordered Abidal to focus on defense.

To prepare for Robben's sudden breakthrough.

[Busketz's short pass for Xabi. Xabi looks at the mesh ahead.]

[Messi, who receives the ball on the spot, gives it to Iniesta and comes down again.]

"Stick to the position, but don't get stuck in the position! Don't lose your concentration for a moment! "

Xabi's voice rang wide.

The rhythm and flow of the game was changing with his movement.

[It's a game of snow fun. If you're watching a game in Barcelona lately, it's as if you've seen a 3-hour movie.]

[Yes. It's no wonder that pure football fans who value technology and pass praise Prada in Barcelona.]

Barcelona played their game.

With a pass of over 70%, the right-hand fullback Alves showed a destructive overlap.

Xavi and Iniesta were constantly looking ahead and preparing to distribute kill passes at any time.

Madrid's crisis began there.

[Abidal, left fullback, goes down and prepares for a counter-attack, while Alves is swarming high and strengthening the midfield.]

[Barcelona changes its rank to 3-4-3. That's amazing. Diara-Zidane-Uh Woo completely dominated the midfield, standing up to second place. That's exactly what it means to play with them.]

Midfield of Barcelona.

They were as smooth as streams, but as powerful as waterfalls.

It was like an organism that was often divided and gathered again.

Guardiola's football seemed to contain a wide range of nature.

And the first 24 minutes.

[Sabi's kill pass stabs into the back of the defense!]

[Mesh tries to penetrate through the through pass!]

Counterpoint.

As soon as Messi caught the ball, the atmosphere seemed to have slowed down.

His breakthrough happened quickly.

Tada, Tak!

[Messi beats Phantom Dribble Carlos and passes towards Eto'o in the center!]

[Fast Eto's crushes Madrid's defensive line with agile movement.]

[Ramos catches up at the same time! It sticks persistently in front of the door.]

Ramos' speed and Pepe's strength hindered Eto's breakthrough.

'Look like these leeches.'

Etu who was no longer busy keeping the ball over looked ahead.

Originally, his style was to try to break through and score goals.

But his choice was different.

Iii.

I urgently turned to the left to see the space to pass.

That's because it was a play ordered by Guardiola.

Barcelona players had to follow his tactics.

Etu was in fact disgusted by him.

I couldn't stand the fact that the first director tried to teach him.

Moreover, while he is a striker, Guardiola is not a defensive midfielder.

Guardiola thought he didn't care about his football at all.

However.

'Follow.'

As it has been, Eto's crushed his greed.

I knew that I could win.

so.

Percussion!

Passed the pass to the left space.

[Fantastic pass link play! Thierry Henry, who dug into the diagonal, catches the ball!]

[This is Tiki Takajo!]

The completion of Guardiola-style Tiki Taka.

Everything was perfect until the moment Henry caught the ball.

But what happened immediately afterwards shocked everyone.

[Ah! Cannavaro and Woo-young are waiting for Thierry Henry!]

Defensive position of the Cannavaro to build a wailing wall.

And Woo Ho-young's defensive position was chosen as it was.

"큭."

Two guys wriggling in a good position to defend, ran back and forth to make Henri a sandwich.

Roh Young's tackle was not even an average defender, but it was good enough to harass Henry.

After all, the main task was for Cannavaro.

widely!

[Kannavar steals Thierry Henry's ball!]

[Kannavarro sends Woo-young back to the ball!]

Hoyoung's eyes that received a pass flashed.

Thierry Henry, who was stolen from the ball, and Iniesta from the front, seemed to be rushing.

Everything was as expected.

'6 seconds rule.'

Guardiola's 6-second rule.

A complicated and sophisticated system in which a player loses the ball, but does not switch to a defensive force.

Ho Young knew everything.

It was a famous tactic that changed the history of football.

Took.

Ho-young calmly passed the pass to nearby Diara as he trained.

Diara delivered the ball to Zidane, who was next to her.

All of this was done naturally as water flows.

Nevertheless, Barcelona's pressure continued.

Rather than returning to the defensive position, all players put pressure on their positions to capture the ball.

It was Guardiola's core tactic, so no one doubted and put forward pressure as usual.

It was that moment.

"run!"

Woo Ho-young's custom tactics using the core tactics of Guardiola.

[Carlos on the left and Robben on the right trying to break through quickly!]

[Real Madrid's formation radically changed from 5-3-2 to 3-5-2!]

Carlos and Robben sat down with a five-bag.

The two attempted to penetrate along the touchline as soon as Kannavarro took the ball.

It was at that time that Zidane's landball pass cut the land.

Percussion!

[Hoberto Carlos receives a pass! Running and running!]

Abidal, who was instructed to concentrate on defense, could stop Robben, but Alves missed Carlos.

Carlos robbed the left back space like the meat he met.

There was no one around him to dry him.

Alves, who had attacked the midfield, returned to full speed, but it was too late to turn back.

It's pretty selfless.

Cuckoo!

Carlos' landball cross flooded the box precisely.

Raul and Van Nistelrooy are waiting in the front line.

The two men shook their heads for food.

Guardiola's mouth opened in the sight.

I could not believe that the tactics I thought were perfect.

That was natural.

Because he had no idea of ​​the tactics of Holland and Chile, which destroyed Spain's Tikitaka.

But Woo Young knew the tactic.

Although Barcelona's current power was ahead of Spain in 2014, Tikitacar was the same in nature, and that tactic was working.

And then.

Everybody's attention was directed to the front.
