Chapter 206 That Person Is Quite Interesting
At the beginning of the season, Spanish newspapers always said that 'Mourinho changed La Liga.' Zhuo Yang still didn't understand what the madman could change, but after these rounds, he felt that what the newspapers said was quite right.
Barcelona's overall strength has not weakened this season, but it clearly feels that it is not as easy to play in La Liga as last year. All this is thanks to Mourinho. Last season, he created a new defensive method for Barcelona's offensive system in Inter Milan and achieved miraculous results. This defensive system has been stolen by more and more teams.
In defense, this Inter Milan system emphasizes not man-to-man defense of players, and all defensive players must clarify their positions and scope of responsibilities. Since Barcelona lacks a high forward tactic, defensive players are concentrated in the middle in an attempt to block Barcelona's penetrating direct passes, while the red and blue soldiers on both wings are allowed to pass the ball. No one can grab the header anyway.
After Hercules defeated Barcelona in the Nou Camp in the second round of La Liga, head coach Esteban Vigo generously admitted that he had learned from Inter Milan and even organized the whole team before the game against Barcelona. I watched the video of Inter Milan’s 3:1 match against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals last season.
It’s not easy to learn well, but it’s easy to learn bad things! There is no team in La Liga that is as smart as a monkey. They all imitate the same and play more and more tricks in regional restrictions when facing Barcelona. Barcelona's new season in La Liga can no longer be like last season's chopping up melons and vegetables, destroying whomever they want and how they want to destroy them.
Two international matches later, this was the case against Mallorca in the 6th round, and the same was true against Valencia in the 7th round. Barcelona played very hard in the first half. However, the record of one draw and one win in the two home games is still justifiable.
Because of the 'FIFA virus', Guardiola made a certain degree of rotation against Mallorca. Neither Zhuo Yang nor Messi started. Xavi also took a break because he was injured in the national team game. As a result, Mallorca used a counterattack to lead 2:0 in the first half, forcing Guardiola to switch to Zhuomei's double sword in the second half.
Although it is also very difficult, we have to admit that Barcelona still has to rely on Zhuo Yang and Messi to solve the problem at critical moments. The two assisted each other and scored a goal each. Although the score of 2:2 was not satisfactory, at least it did not let Camp Nou was captured again.
Three days later, in the 7th round, Barcelona, which played with its full lineup, was once again led by Valencia to score the goal. In the 30th minute, when Pablo Hernandez outflanked the shot, Barcelona's defenders lay on the ground and failed to stop him.
Manuel Fernandez, the Portuguese midfielder in the Valencia team, had some trouble with Zhuo Yang when he played in the Champions League with Benfica and Madiba. In the first round, he was kicked by Zhuo Yang for being careless, and was kicked by Zhuo Yang in the second round. Yang used a dive to earn him a penalty kick and a red card. That game also led to the dismissal of former Barcelona hero and famous Dutch coach Ronald Koeman at Benfica. This is all about the 05-06 season.
2007,
Koeman took office in Valencia, and Fernandez followed him for 12 million. At the end of one season, Koeman was expelled from Valencia due to poor results, but Fernandez stayed on and became the main force in Barron's midfield.
After so many years, Zhuo Yang had completely forgotten about Fernandez and could not remember him face to face. So Fernandez got a yellow card for knocking down Zhuo Yang in the first two minutes of the second half. He didn't think there was anything wrong. He just took a glance and kicked the free kick 35 meters away from the goal with an elevator kick to equalize the score.
In the 61st minute, Fernandez didn't know what he was thinking and took the corner kick directly to Zhuo Yang. How could Zhuoyang refuse such a great gift? After a burst of smoke and dust, he sent Xiaobai an easy push shot in front of the goal. Barcelona went ahead 2:1. After the celebration, Zhuo Yang just thought Fernandez was interesting.
In the 79th minute, Barcelona launched a counterattack from Xavi's feet, Calabash separated the sides, Messi made a pass, and captain Puyol enthusiastically reached the front point. Originally, Fernandez had been pestering the sudden appearance of Pu, but when he saw Zhuo Yang appearing in the corner of the penalty area, as if he had not seen Messi's passing route, he dropped Pu and ran out, letting the Barcelona captain take the lead. He picked up a header for nothing when no one was marking him.
3:1, Barcelona came back to win and tied with Valencia in the standings. After the game, everyone felt that the biggest contributor was not Zhuoyang who passed and shot, but Fernandez, who was suspected of being undercover. That person is really interesting.
La Liga opponents openly copied Mourinho's skills, which made Barcelona obviously feel the difficulty, and they were also unable to avoid it in the Champions League. Today's Copenhagen, Denmark, also followed the same routine.
From a personal technical point of view, Danish football seems to be inferior to Southern European players, but their tactical execution is not ambiguous at all, and their defensive ability is very particular. Although Denmark is not located in Scandinavia, they are often identified as a Nordic country, and the same is true for football.
Perhaps because of the climate, Nordic football has always been outstanding in terms of height, strength and speed. After the unification of the world in these years, Nordic football has made great progress in technology and tactics, and the old advantages have not been lost. Facing them, Southern European opponents are becoming increasingly difficult to beat.
This is the case with Danish football, they are even on par with German football in the pan-Nordic concept. Everyone knows that when playing against a Danish team, once they take the lead and play downwind defensively, the difficulty of the game will increase exponentially. It is the consensus of Barcelona people today that they must not concede the ball first.
The 42-year-old coach Star Solbakken was once a miracle of life. When he was young, Solbakken was a substitute international player for the Norwegian national team. Except for an extremely unsuccessful trip to Wimbledon in the Premier League for one season, he has played for Norway throughout his career.
In the summer of 2000, Solbakken once again went abroad and came to Copenhagen, playing the role of a low-output tactical forward as always. One day in March of the following year, Solbakken suffered a heart attack during training and fell into a coma. When the doctor arrived, he was already dead and was declared clinically dead on the spot.
But the miraculous thing is that seven minutes after Solbakken's heart stopped beating, it started moving on its own, and he narrowly escaped death.
Various organs in the body were not supplied by the heart for up to seven minutes. It stands to reason that Solbakken would have turned into a fool even if he survived. However, he remained paralyzed and could not survive after the congenital heart disease was investigated. Solbakken, who resumed playing football, became a football coach and took charge of Copenhagen in 2006.
After four seasons, Solbakken led Copenhagen to three Danish Super League championships, establishing Denmark's top position in football in one fell swoop.
Solbakken is a tough-minded person. Even God dare not accept him easily. Most people are better to be careful. To deal with Solbakken, you need a monster who doesn't play by the rules, and Barcelona happens to have such a monster.
You guessed wrong, this monster is not Zhuo Yang.
