Nine Hundred and Eighteenth Best Barcelona Ever
Real Madrid beat Deportivo 7-1!
The Gaoshen team once again achieved an amazing big-score victory at home!
With the end of the battle at the Bernabéu, news spread throughout Spain in a very short period of time.
Naturally, it also includes the Barcelona coaching staff in Gamper Sports City, Barcelona.
Accompanied by his assistant coach Jordi Lula, Tito Vilanova watched the Real Madrid game with several members of the core coaching staff and left them extremely impressed.
Especially the first half.
...
Barcelona's away game against Sevilla was scheduled for the day before Real Madrid, and the final score was 2 to 3. Barcelona did not score two goals until the last minute of the game, reversing Sevilla.
But after the game, Barcelona suffered losses and ridicule.
The loss came from the injury of the young midfielder Thiago, which will have a big impact on Barcelona's short-staffed midfielder.
Fortunately, Puyol, Iniesta and other wounded are coming back soon.
The taunt came from a red card in this game.
As a guest at the Pisjuan Stadium, the referee Mateu's law enforcement in this game was a little loose, and Sevilla took the opportunity to increase fouls, which made Barcelona play very passively.
The absence of Iniesta allowed Harvey and Fabregas to partner in the midfield. As a result, the rhythm of the whole game was even and unremarkable. This made it difficult for Barcelona to create threats on the court and could only rely on Messi frequently. .
Sevilla started with a quick counterattack and Trohovski scored a goal.
Although Barcelona has obtained more than 70% of the ball possession rate, they have never been able to create a threatening offense.
After the start of the second half, a pass error by Busquets was seized by Medel, and Negredo got rid of Barcelona defender Alexandre Song and scored the second goal for Sevilla.
Five minutes later, Messi sent a direct pass and Pedro returned it, allowing Cesc Fabregas to score.
But then, Barcelona has been unable to create a threat.
The most controversial scene of the whole game appeared,
In the 72nd minute, Sevilla's midfielder Medel had a dispute with Fabregas. The Chilean midfielder stepped forward and put his head on Fabregas' chin.
As a result, Cesc Fabregas immediately reacted in great pain, covering his face and turning away, as if he had been greatly hurt.
The referee Mateu immediately stepped forward and directly sent off Medel with a red card.
But it turned out that there was nothing wrong with Fabregas, which caused a violent reaction after the game.
Retired La Liga gold medalist Andujar accused Cesc Fabregas of exaggerating his reaction in the media.
The cause of the incident was that when the game was suspended, Fabregas kept holding Medel from behind and asked for the ball. Medel was entangled, but after throwing the ball to his teammate, he broke free from Fabregas. The two had a verbal exchange. There was a conflict, but Medel stepped forward to push it, the strength was not heavy, and Fabregas did not fall to the ground, but the reaction was very painful.
Sevilla fans reacted on the spot and immediately created a new vocabulary on the scene, Fallywood.
Afterwards, fans also discussed the game on social networking sites, "No team can beat a team that practices three kinds of balls at the same time. These three balls are football, handball and water polo."
Among them, water polo refers to Cesc Fabregas' performance and Medel's red card.
The handball happened after the red card.
At that time, the game had progressed to the 89th minute, and the score was still 2-1.
Barcelona with one more player still has nothing to do with Sevilla, but at the critical moment, Thiago's handball intercepted Sevilla's pass. At that time, Sevilla's players were protesting the handball, and the referee stood Thiago was next to him, but he did not make a penalty, and Barcelona took advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack, and Fabregas equalized the score.
Later, in stoppage time, Villa scored another goal for Barcelona, which completed the reversal.
After the game, the pro-Real Madrid media headed by Marca and Aspen launched a frenzied battle with the Catalan media headed by Daily Sport and Mundo Deportivo. The Real Madrid media believed that Barcelona's reversal is a disgrace to La Liga.
A handball, a red card, is there anything more exaggerated than this?
Spain's relatively neutral Le Monde believes that Barcelona's victory over Sevilla was polluted by controversial clips in the game.
The implication is that this victory is not convincing.
Even if Sevilla was given a red card, Barcelona still couldn't win the ball, and it was even difficult to equalize. In the end, it relied on a handball to equalize the score, and reversed the opponent when Sevilla was in a state of confusion.
Many European media also believe that referee Mateu has become the protagonist of the game.
...
It is precisely because the game between Barcelona and Sevilla caused such a huge controversy, so Vilanova is very clear that Real Madrid is now beating Deportivo by a big score, especially in the last two games, both are big scores.
Obviously, the morale of the sworn enemy is like a rainbow.
On the other hand, Barcelona, no matter how Cesc Fabregas defends in the media, no matter how the Barcelona media explain, the controversy is always a controversy, and the Barcelona players themselves know it well.
If you really want to win Seville, you still need to wait until the final stage?
In this game against Sevilla, Barcelona exposed not only offensive problems, but also defense.
Barcelona's next biggest opponent is Real Madrid.
Profound Real Madrid!
"This game next weekend is our home game and we have to win it no matter what."
Vilanova looked at his assistant Lula and the others and said.
"Win this game, and the point gap will expand to seven points. For us, this will be a relatively safe advantage. At that time, our pressure will not be so great."
"But Gao Shen has never lost at the Nou Camp or against Barcelona. We..." Lula hesitated.
When facing Gao Shen, Barcelona still has some psychological shadows.
"That was before, Jordi." Vilanova said confidently.
"We all know the relationship between Pep and Gao Shen. Gao Shen knows Pep very well, but he doesn't know me."
Vilanova's tactics are in the same line as Guardiola's, but they are also very different.
More importantly, as Guardiola's assistant, he knows many of his problems and even mistakes.
He will not repeat the mistakes of Guardiola.
"Real Madrid reorganized the team this summer and there have been a lot of changes. I have seen their previous games, whether it is Sevilla, or Getafe, or the previous opponents. There are a lot of ball turnovers, and that's our chance."
"You all saw the game just now. Deportivo's defense organization was too bad. They gave Real Madrid too much space and opportunities, but we won't!"
Everyone, including Jordi Lula, felt Vilanova's ambitions.
Since he took over Barcelona, no, before he officially took over Barcelona, he has already started planning the blueprint for Barcelona. If he wants to live in Guardiola's shadow, he has to prove that he is no worse than Guardiola.
And the best way is to achieve what Guardiola failed to achieve.
For example, Triple Crown, for example, beat Gao Shen!
No one questioned Vilanova's ability and ambition, because he not only helped Guardiola a lot when he was an assistant coach, but more importantly, after coaching Barcelona, he has achieved a record of complete victories so far.
Spanish Super Cup, all wins, La Liga, all wins, Champions League, all wins.
If it is said that La Liga started with six consecutive victories, before him, there were four famous Barcelona coaches including Cruyff and Guardiola who won it, then he is the only one who won all the opening games.
This is Vilanova's greatest confidence!
It is also the purpose of his coaching Barcelona!
"Jordi."
Vilanova looked at his assistant coach.
He was born in the direct line of Barcelona's youth training. He was originally the head coach of the Barcelona youth team. Later, he moved to other teams and failed to succeed. He returned to Barcelona as a scout in 2009 and had a close relationship with Vilanova.
"Our Champions League match is one day earlier than Real Madrid's. After the away game at Benfica, you can make arrangements. I will go to the Bernabeu to watch the match between Real Madrid and Porto."
The game video is already very detailed, but in the end it is still not as comprehensive as watching the game live.
Although Vilanova was full of enthusiasm, he still decided to go to the scene to take a look and find out the advanced ways.
"I'll arrange it." Lula nodded, and after a pause, he looked at the analyst next to him, Carles Planchart, and then at Vilanova, "Tito, this time at the Bernabéu..."
Vilanova also noticed the eager Carles Planchart.
It stands to reason that the head coach goes out to watch the game, accompanied by assistant coaches and analysts.
But Vilanova smiled, "Carles, I want to arrange a task for you."
Planchart looked at Lula in surprise, then at Vilanova, and suddenly understood, nodded and said, "You said."
"I need you to help me analyze and analyze the defensive problems of Real Madrid players, especially the cooperation between Xavi Alonso, Ramos and Pepe. our chance."
Harvey Alonso is not a defensive midfielder, nor is he a traditional fourth position. Instead, he should be best at double midfielders, partnering with Mascherano or Khedira.
But after Gao Shen took office, he transformed Harvey Alonso into the fourth position, which is very noteworthy.
Playing a playmaking midfielder as a No. 4, Xabi Alonso is good defensively, but is he capable?
"Understood, I will prepare as soon as possible." Planchart felt a little sad, but agreed.
He is Guardiola's confidant.
After taking office, Vilanova made great efforts to promote his staff, but in the position of analyst, he couldn't find anyone for a while. It happened that Guardiola was out of work, so Vilanova temporarily retained Planchart. .
But everyone knows that as soon as Guardiola returns, Planchart will definitely follow.
Vilanova obviously also has a grudge against this.
After all, deep in his heart, he still has the meaning of competing with Guardiola.
There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. It has been the same since ancient times.
