Barcelona's home game against Manchester City has officially started.
In the cheers of Barcelona fans, Barcelona and Manchester City officially launched a contest.
Messi, who is the core of the frontcourt, the main job is to lead the team to attack Manchester City at halftime. Messi hopes that he can perform well, so the game was very active at the beginning, but soon he found that something was wrong.
The game is different from what you imagined.
At the beginning of the game, both sides were in the trial stage. Even if there was a fast attack and tough, the game rhythm will not be too fast, and the scene will not be too intense, but what Messi did not expect is that whenever he goes to the frontcourt, he will encounter Very tough defense.
If it is once or twice, it is quite normal. Even in La Liga, some teams will defend themselves.
But every time, this is the problem.
Manchester City's defense against itself is not only as strict as it is. Just like once, he just drew the ball just past the center line. The opponent's German midfielder is directly a sliding tackle. The defense has no room at all. Soon, he didn't get shoveled, and Messi still had palpitations.
This time, Messi took the ball more than ten meters before the penalty area. Almost at the moment when the football rolled over, he saw the two left and right players, all rushing towards him, as if he had a deep hatred with them.
Just take a ball ... as for this?
Messi thought bitterly.
But his reaction speed is very fast, the first time the ball was passed back to teammate Deco, and no ball was lost.
This quick pass is enough to prove Messi's ability.
The commentator at the Camp Nou also praised Messi. "Messi responded quite quickly. The opponent just ran over, and he passed the ball back accurately, making the opponent's movement useless ..."
But Messi didn't think so.
He didn't feel complacent about his reaction at all, but rather troubled Manchester City's defense.
Messi was already affirmed after only ten minutes of the game. The opponent must have made some defensive arrangements for himself. Otherwise, it would not be possible for at least one player to come to defend each time he received the ball. Fierce shoveling, tough body collisions are commonplace, and some annoying small movements are also included.
Messi found the game really difficult.
The opponent's defense is strictly strict, Messi is not afraid, the fierce and tough of the opponent he is most afraid of, and confronting the opponent head-on, it is definitely easy to get injured.
Injuries are always the biggest enemy of professional players.
This season, Messi has experienced the pain of injury. He has suffered two injuries. As the star of Barcelona, he has only played 25 times in La Liga. This number is definitely not much.
Messi was a little scared of being injured and he dodged when facing Manchester City's defense.
————
Manchester City players don't care about Messi's fear of injury, how they should defend, or how to defend, especially after seeing the opponents dodge in physical collision, they are tougher to defend.
Before this game, Wan Sheng's strategy of play was mainly aimed at Messi on defense.
Messi is the core of Barcelona's frontcourt. They are their star players. Although they are only 20 years old and have not yet finished growing into a future superstar, his importance in the Barcelona team is undoubted.
So far this season, Messi has helped Barcelona score six goals in the Champions League!
This goal number is equivalent to 407 / \ '> Manchester United star C-Ronaldo, second only to Torres, who is ranked first in the Champions League scorer list, which shows how much threat Messi will have.
Before the game, almost all media will talk about Messi. Messi will definitely be the most critical player in Barcelona, so Wansheng also allows the team to make targeted defenses. He requires every player to be tough on defense. , Especially against Messi's defense, it is more tough, must not let this Argentine star play out.
A player like Messi, let him play at will. After he really finds the state, the threat to the team's defense is too great. So at the beginning of the game, he used a tough defense to keep Messi without fouling. The point is the most critical.
Manchester City players are very effective in fulfilling Wan Sheng's request.
From the beginning of the game, they have continued to use a tough defense against Messi, against the entire Barcelona, as for what the media said before the game, "The two sides will play the most eye-catching offensive battle in the world", "This will be top They do n’t even think about the clash of football art.
In this game, they are not playing offensive football, and Barcelona to fight skills, they are playing defensive counterattack!
————
Defensive counterattack, not just shrinking defense, and then let the frontcourt players attack, that kind of play is too simple, and it does not have much practicality.
The weak team plays the strong team, this style of play is still very effective.
The weak team competes with the strong team, and the defensive counterattack is naturally a magic weapon for winning. Because the front team fights, the weak team has poor strength, and the chance of winning is not large, so the solid defense does not allow the strong team to score, and then let it pass by luck. Players looking for opportunities will naturally have a higher chance of winning.
The general defensive counterattack is not only used by weak teams. For example, the Italian team, the Italian team cannot be said to be a weak team, but its national team and even some domestic club teams use defensive counterattack tactics. law.
Therefore, the tactic of defensive counterattack is not the patent of the weak team, the strong team can also be used.
Manchester City are not a weak team.
Not only is it not a weak team, it is even said that Manchester City is now one of the most powerful teams in the world. Even when compared with the current Barcelona 'Dream II', Manchester City is only strong and weak, so Manchester City's defensive counterattack can be not that simple.
Manchester City gives the impression of a smooth offensive football, but in essence, the team is actually playing ‘OS-F’ control system football.
The 'OS-F' control system football traces its origins to the offensive football system used by Wansheng when he was coaching Derby County, but the most basic thing of that system was that Wansheng originally coached Derbyshire and led the team to complete the relegation office. Rely on the tough "forced defense".
The reason for initially formulating a full-court defensive tactical play was very simple, because Wan Sheng had a defensive coaching skill at that time, "Persevering Interception". Now this skill has been upgraded to "Coach MAX Perfect Skill", and the skill effect is more than the original. Greatly improved.
"Persevering interception, defensive class, coach Max perfect skills.
When your team is in the game, the steal success rate increases by 20%.
When your player is in a game, all defensive attributes increase by 1.
When your player completes a steal, the ‘pass’ attribute rating is increased by 5. "
In this skill, the effect of increasing the steal rate by 20% is the most fundamental.
Based on this skill, Wansheng developed the tactical play of 'full court snatch', and then based on the 'full court snatch', he developed the 'Derby County's offensive football play', and then only Manchester City 'OS-F' control system football.
Therefore, the traceability of Manchester City ’s tactical system still lies in the ‘persistent interception’ skill. The team ’s offensive football game relies on the defensive rush of the audience.
Many fans believe that Manchester City is good at attacking, but in fact, the concept of 'full court snatching' is deeply ingrained in the minds of Manchester City players. Every player knows that the first thing they do on the court is to keep running and keep going to the other party. Pressed.
Manchester City's defensive counterattack on the field now relies on 'snatching', but Wansheng adjusted the area to his own half, which means that the players have to force a **** at the half, the scope has been doubled, and the defensive strength has increased. Quite a lot, it also gives players the energy to defend against a single player against the opponent.
This is Manchester City's defense.
After defense, of course there are counterattacks.
Manchester City's counterattack is to run empty, and the opportunity comes out. Their original attack is to use the empty space to find opportunities, so needless to say in this regard, Manchester is already very good at fast attack.
However, no matter how different Manchester City's defensive counterattacks are, it is different from other teams. Defensive counterattacks are defensive counterattacks. The core point is still defense. Manchester City's game is very difficult to watch. Barcelona suffered a tough defense and was attacked. After the tenacious resistance, the game scene can be seen.
The media and the fans did not see the kind of 'art football' and 'offensive battle' they imagined. They saw the scene of a drowsy game. It can be said that in addition to the toughness of confrontation and fight There are hardly any bright spots at all.
Morris and Messi, as the media promoted, are the core players of the two teams, and there is almost no shiny performance.
Some Catalan media began to worry about Messi.
In the past 20 minutes, Messi's performance can be said to be a mess. He only touched the ball a few times, he was also intercepted twice in the middle, and made no contribution on offense.
The Camp Nou commentators all said, "Manchester City's tight defense makes Messi a little helpless. It looks like he is in a normal state today ..."
Some Spanish media also began to attack Manchester City.
They think that the ugly game scene was caused by Manchester City. Manchester City did not play the offensive football they imagined, did not start a head-to-head battle with Barcelona, but played the ugly 'English defensive football'.
The Spanish Sports TV commentator criticized, "Many people say Manchester City are the most technical team in England. They are not worse than Barcelona. But the Manchester City we see now is a rude and brutal team. They did not hesitate to use fouls to stop Barcelona ’s offense on several occasions, and their offense was not very technical. At least until now, we have not seen ... "
Even the British Sky Sports commentator politely said, "Manchester City's defense today is very targeted ..."
————
Wansheng stood on the sidelines and looked at the game with a smile.
He doesn't care what the media thinks, the important thing is always victory.
Winners will be respected by everyone, losers have no say, the world of football is so simple, so how to win with the most hope is the most important.
Wan Sheng believes that there is great hope for the team to play against Barcelona, but it is certainly not greater than the current hope.
Use a tough defense ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to make Barcelona unable to play, and then his team to launch a counterattack and attack, so that we can walk out of the Camp Nou Stadium in the most secure way, and we can eliminate Barcelona most promising Satisfied.
So Wansheng did it.
He let the team play a defensive counterattack, let the team play ugly football.
Like some media analysis, "Wan Sheng hides the heart of pure utilitarian football under the appearance of gorgeous offensive football ..."
Their analysis is correct, Wan Sheng is indeed very utilitarian, but the correct statement is that he has a ‘wish for a champion’.
How can he win the championship?
If he can definitely win the championship, he does n’t mind making the team play better, and for the current game against Barcelona, the process is not important at all, victory is the most important!
