Chapter 330: The Dignified Formation Breaks Through Barcelona

The three hundred and thirtieth chapter of the dignified array breaks Barcelona

In the locker room, the warm-up players have returned, and Gao Bo is also preparing to make one last mobilization before the game starts.

"I don't have anything to say. We have studied the opponent's lineup carefully these days. Barcelona's lineup is indeed very strong, but what we need is not to see what the opponent will do!"

Gao Bol paused, then continued: "What we need is to show our own strength! We did well in the two games before the start of the season, scoring four goals in both games, which shows our attack. Strength. This is our home ground, Barcelona look strong, but their strength is limited. Many people think this is a game that tests our true strength. If I say, Barcelona can't be at all. As a test stone of our strength!"

Gao Bo saw the expressions of the players, they were all listening carefully, and their eyes were looking at him.

Gao Bo is very satisfied with the current posture of the players, because it shows that in this locker room, Gao Bo's authority is gradually rising.

The two consecutive victories have gradually increased the players' trust in Gao Bo, whether it is a newcomer who has just arrived this season or an old player from Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona is indeed very strong, but Gao Bo emphasized more on Atletico Madrid's own swing at this time.

Contrary to what others imagined, Gao Bo is neither ready to compete with Barcelona for possession, nor will he wait for an opportunity to counterattack by placing a bus in the backcourt.

"Anyone tell me what is the most important game statistic that determines a game?"

Gao Bo asked.

The players looked at each other.

There are a lot of data in a game, ball possession, number of passes, number of fouls...

Usually, many media reports will use the word "comprehensive data dominance", but to say which data is the most important, probably different teams will have different understandings.

"Number of shots?"

"Into the 30-meter area of ​​the frontcourt?"

"Number of shots on goal?"

The players gave one answer after another.

Gao Bo laughed badly: "Let me tell you, after a game is over, the most important game statistic is... the score!!"

The players in the locker room laughed together. Of course, the score was the most important thing, but under the inertial thinking, the players hadn't thought of this for a while.

Gao Bo said that this is not just to activate the atmosphere in the locker room.

"So! No matter how much possession, no matter how many shots, no matter how many fouls, how many confrontations, how many passes!"

"There is only one purpose!!!"

Gao Bo stretched out a finger.

"That is, after the game, we are ahead of our opponents and we will score a lot more goals than them!"

"We're going to put the ball in their goal!! And stop their shot!!"

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he pointed to the formation already placed on the tactical board and said.

"Barcelona is a slow-paced team as a whole. They are used to slow-paced possession in the backcourt. Busquets is a trailing midfielder. He connects Xavi and Iniesta very well. Two players, and he is also closely linked to Barcelona's backline. Their attack starts from the backline, passes layer by layer to the front, and then uses players like Xavi or Iniesta to find space, Taking advantage of the gap, Xavi can pass the ball like a scalpel, and their forwards, especially Messi's individual ability, can make them take the opportunity very well!!"

Gao Bo wrote and drew on the tactical board, and then circled the positions of Xavi and Iniesta!

"These days, I have been emphasizing a concept! That is, offense and defense are one! Offense does not necessarily need to get the ball to attack, and defense does not necessarily have to shrink back to its own half! The moment of offense and defense transition , will be the most threatening moment!"

"When defending, we have to block their passing space! Keep the formation tight,

Gradually drive them into the corner, if once done stealing! Strike back now! "

"If it's our attacking state, we must pass the ball fast, pass more forward, and at the same time, we must be active! What we have to do is to disrupt their rhythm. Therefore, we need to take the initiative. Get the tempo fast! What we've been training these times is one-shot passing in a fast-paced situation!"

"Don't think about saving energy! Against a team like Barcelona, ​​saving energy is pointless! If you don't give your best, we will lose in 90 minutes! I hope you will remember this sentence talk!"

Gao Bo emphasized.

"It's been said in the media these days that our tactics are imitating Barcelona. And the Catalans also think that their tactics are flawless, and they even attribute our two victories to the second!! And this game, We'll let them know if we're imitating them!"

"Barcelona have won everything in these seasons, so they are arrogant, and even after losing, they look arrogant, as if the whole world is their hands and lose. Even if they haven't won at this stadium for three years It's over!"

Gao Bo's words made the players laugh.

The battle is imminent, and many Atletico Madrid players are still a little nervous in the face of opponents like Barcelona.

"Pick up the rhythm! Hit the rhythm!!! We'll beat them with the rhythm!!!"

"Like what we do in training!"

"We are a torrent! A torrent fast enough to overwhelm all defences in the world!!! Let us now let Barcelona know that if they want to kill us slowly with the ball, be ready So accept the baptism of the torrent!!!"

The Atlético de Madrid players couldn't help but puff out their chests.

They know best that what Atlético de Madrid is now playing in normal training is not some slow tike-taka!

They are faster!

They are more imposing!

They are more aggressive!

Just like the head coach said.

They are torrents!

It is a flood that washes everything away!

......

Barcelona is more indoor, and Guardiola is also telling the players what to pay attention to in this game.

Guardiola has also noticed changes at Atletico Madrid this season.

But he didn't see Atletico Madrid as a copycat of Barcelona from the start.

It is also ground transmission control, but the style of playing with transmission control can be ever-changing.

It's like you can't think of every team that likes to play long balls as long ball rushers.

The tactical changes of short pass on the ground are more abundant than the long pass, and different teams use it, and the style is different.

Guardiola still feels that Gao Bo's Atlético de Madrid was a bit of a backstop in the first two rounds of the league. This feeling has been lingering in his heart, so when preparing for this game, Guardiola seemed very cautious!

However, Guardiola is still very confident that no matter what tactics Atletico Madrid uses, as long as Atletico Madrid dares to press and attack, Barcelona will definitely let Atletico Madrid know what is called Barcelona's attack!

Guardiola looked at Messi who was sitting quietly in his position, the most crucial figure in the Barcelona Dream Three Dynasties!

Guardiola looks at his other players, Xavi, Iniesta, Busques...  

These players are world-class stars. Barcelona's overall tactical operation is smooth, and the individual strength of the players is also top-notch. In this case, Barcelona can certainly achieve one victory after another.

Guardiola is very confident about it.

......

Amid the deafening hustle and bustle of the Calderon Stadium, players from both sides stepped onto the pitch with their heads held high.

Gao Bo and Guardiola shake hands before the game.

Guardiola still admires the Chinese head coach who is younger than him.

Leading the teams in the lower leagues to win the Europa League is enough to show Gao Bo's ability. Guardiola is well aware of the difficulty of getting the job done.

The two chatted on the sidelines for a while.

Gao Bo has no personal grudge against Guardiola, and to be honest, Gao Bo also admires Guardiola's tactics of playing Barcelona for more than 20 years.

Guardiola's influence on football tactics can be said to be quite profound. He brought Barcelona to the top, especially in the 2oo8-2oo9 season, Barcelona's six-time crown was unprecedented.

After a few words of greetings, the head coaches of both sides sat back in their seats, and the players of the two teams on the court were also ready!

"Okay! The game is about to start! Atlético Madrid vs. Barcelona! Who can win? Is Barcelona ending the good form since the start of Atletico Madrid's season, or Atletico Madrid sending Barcelona a two-game losing streak, after 90 minutes, everything will be know!!"

On the commentary stand, two commentators from Kobe TV were roaring loudly.

"Looking at the atmosphere of Calderon Stadium, I can't wait!!! Adu!!!" commentator Mateo said exaggeratedly.

"Me too!!" Aduris waved excitedly.

"Let's take a look at the roster of both sides first, both teams are the main force today!!!"

"Atletico Madrid's side is the same as their previous two games. Now Atletico Madrid's schedule is not dense, so coach Gao Bo still sent his strongest lineup!"

"Goalkeeper De Gea! Right defender Juanfran, center defender Godin with Boateng, left defender Alex Sandro! Midfielder Kante, Modric, Raul Garcia, forward line It's Reyes, Aguero, Modric!!!"

"This is a 433 squad, this Atletico Madrid squad is still very young, Sandro, Kante, Aguero, Modric, De Gea, more than half of Atletico Madrid players are in the second About ten years old, the oldest of the other Atletico Madrid players is Reyes, who is only 27 years old this year, and then Modric, who was born in 1985, is 25 years old this year, and Godin is 24 years old. Gao Bo has built a young guard!"

"But youth may not be an advantage, especially against an old team like Barcelona, ​​look at Barcelona's lineup: goalkeeper Valdes, right-back Alves, centre-back is captain Puyol and Pique, left-back is Maxwell, midfielders Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, forwards Messi, Villa, Pedro! It's also a 433 formation, and the two sides are against each other!"

"Actually, Barcelona's squad is not as old as you say!"

“But they are really spicy...”

The two commentators laughed while joking.

At this time on the court, after the commentator had just finished reading the names of the two sides, the referee blew the whistle to start the game!

Barcelona took the lead in kick-off. Villa, who was standing in the middle circle, just moved to Barcelona this season, but his integration was very fast, because as the main striker of the Spanish team in the World Cup, Villa has already been with Xavi, Iniesta, etc. People have developed quite a tacit understanding.

The football was passed to the feet of Busques, and at this time several Atletico Madrid players also rushed over the half and pressed up!

Busques was not in a hurry. Facing Aguero's attack, he pushed the ball horizontally. At this time, Xavi really came back, and then Xavi passed the ball to the foot of Maxwell on the wing.

Maxwell was also facing pressure at this time, and Griezmann came up.

He passed the ball to Harvey again!

And Griezmann left Maxwell and ran in the direction of Harvey immediately!

"Three people around Harvey!!!"

Before the ball reached Xavi's feet, the commentator Aduris exclaimed.

Modric, Griezmann, Aguero!

Three players surrounded Harvey in the middle, and the circle is shrinking rapidly!

"Beautiful!!!" Mateo exclaimed, "Master-level handling!"

The surrounded Xavi seemed to be completely helpless, and his passing line was blocked.

But then Harvey's handling was amazing.

I saw Xavi rub the ball lightly, and the football passed over Griezmann's head and fell to the feet of Pedro, who came back from the flank to join in.

Pedro faced the defense chasing after Kante and Juanfran, and he directly put the ball back to Maxwell!

However, Pedro's handling of the ball is a grade worse than that of Harvey, and his header return force is slightly smaller!

By the time Maxwell was about to deal with the ball, Juanfran charged up aggressively!

Juanfran moved to Atletico Madrid this season. He thought he was likely to face competition from Kante, Modric and others in the Atletico Madrid midfield, but Gao Bo actually told him.

"You are my main right back!!"

Juanfran has also played the position of right back, but he most often appears in midfield, so when Gao Bo said this to him, he was still skeptical.

However, in Madrid's system, Juanfran feels quite comfortable playing at right-back.

Now that Juanfran was pressed up, Maxwell was a little panicked.

If he handles the ball slower, Juanfran is likely to grab the ball!

Maxwell hurried forward a few steps. In a hurry, he didn't have time to understand the situation on the other side, but Maxwell didn't want to move forward to make a clearance easily and lose possession of the ball, so he chose to return the header and prepare to find the goalkeeper. Valdez's.

It's just that the control of the header is much worse than the control of the foot. The ball is slightly off. Although Valdez has tried his best to rush out to keep the ball from the bottom line, the Barcelona goalkeeper is still one step behind!

Football was topped by Maxwell!

"Maxwell's header is returned incorrectly! Atlético de Madrid gets a corner!!"

"At the beginning of the game, Atlético de Madrid looked aggressive!!!!"

Pedro quickly raised his hand to express his apology to Maxwell. Just because of his mistake in returning the header, Maxwell had to return under the pressure of the opponent, but Pedro also had a cold sweat on his back.

This game doesn't look the same as Barcelona's previous games.

From the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid did not give Barcelona the chance to take possession of the ball calmly!

Guardiola frowned.

Pressing up front?

Guardiola looked at Gao Bo on the other side.

Shouldn't it be just that?

If it is just the frontcourt pressing and defending with physical strength, although Barcelona will be a little troublesome, but their opponents may be even more troublesome!

Once Barcelona successfully pours the ball out of the backcourt, then Atletico Madrid's defense will directly face the impact of Messi, Villa, and Pedro!

Guardiola's brows still haven't stretched out. Where is Atletico Madrid's back-up?

.....

Gao Bo on the sidelines was very satisfied with the team's offensive this time, and he clapped his hands hard.

"Nice job! Juan!!!"

Gao Bo is praising Juanfran's enthusiasm.

As a defender, the left-back Maxwell, who rushed all the way up to force the opponent, made a mistake in returning the pass, and Juanfran's run was not in vain.

When Gao Bo clapped his hands, he did not keep his eyes on the field. If someone came to look at Gao Bo's eyes, he would find that the focus of his pupils was very strange, as if there was something in the area two or three meters in front of his eyes. something like.

In fact, there is indeed something in front of Gao Bo, but others can't see it.

In front of Gao Bo, the screen of the football card system unfolded.

In this game, Gao Bo is no longer reserved!

He used all the cards that could maximize the strength of the team.

[Competition Card (Blue): The physical fitness of the entire team increases by 15%]

[Match Card (Blue): The team's defensive interception and stealing success rate increases by 15%]

[Competition Card (Blue): The success rate of the team's counterattack attack is increased by 15%]

In addition to these three cards, Gao Bo is now the most critical card in his hand, an orange card!

[Competition card (orange): The success rate of passing within a range of 15 meters is increased by 20%; the success rate of forward passing is increased by 15%! 】

This card is undoubtedly a huge improvement for the overall strength of the team! And this is also the capital of Gao Bo daring to compete with Barcelona when the team players are all young players in their early twenties!

.....

Griezmann came to take the right corner, but he did not drive the ball directly into the penalty area.

Griezmann threw the ball to Modric, who came in for the match, and then crossed Modric himself from the corner flag.

Modric faked a cross, then returned the ball to Griezmann.

After Griezmann took the ball, he took everything inside and shot directly!

"Griezmann!!!!"

Some of the Atlético de Madrid fans in the stands stood up excitedly.

The football draws an arc to the goal!

Fortunately, the angle of the ball was not fully opened, and goalkeeper Valdes reached out and threw the ball to the bottom line!

"Atletico Madrid made a very threatening attack as soon as the game started!!! Griezmann's shot forced Valdes to make a save!! It seems that the Calderon Stadium has always been the case for Barcelona. It's a hard place to conquer!!"

The commentators were shouting and shouting in the commentary booth.

Guardiola was also taken aback and was relieved when he saw the ball being saved.

Before he could see what the Atletico Madrid game was about, the opponent scored a goal, this game can be quite difficult for Barcelona.

What is the opponent's strategy in this game?

Guardiola is still thinking.

And Atletico Madrid's corner kick came out again.

The corner kick on this side was handed over to Modric, and Griezmann wanted to go over and take another corner kick.

However, the Barcelona players were very vigilant this time, and Alves quickly followed.

Seeing this, Modric passed the ball directly into the penalty area!

Boateng and Pique were fighting for positions, and in the end Boateng pushed the ball out of the bottom line under Pique's interference defense.

The game has just started, but Atletico Madrid took the lead with a corner kick.

Barcelona's players breathed a sigh of relief, and if there is any obvious weakness in Barcelona, ​​perhaps defending set-pieces is one.

Puyol is not tall, but his defensive ability is good. However, his partner Pique was often out of position when defending the set-piece. And Barcelona's set-piece high-altitude defense can only rely more on two central defenders. Other Barcelona players are generally not tall, and it is unrealistic to expect them to defend headers.

Do you want to attack through set pieces?

Guardiola thought.

What about defense?

All three of Atlético Madrid's forwards remain in the frontcourt.

The two Barcelona centre-backs moved to the sides, only for Griezmann and Reyes to follow.

Aguero was standing near the arc of the penalty area, but Valdez wanted to pass to both sides of Aguero, but when he saw two players behind Xavi and Busques, Valdez hesitated. .

If other teams are under such pressure, the goalkeeper will simply drive forward with a big foot.

But this kind of thing with big feet is obviously not in line with Barcelona's football philosophy. Even so, Barcelona has to show the ball to the front court through short passes.

Iniesta ran back to catch the ball, and Valdes sent the ball out the first time.

Aguero was just about to step forward to interfere with Iniesta, and Iniesta passed the ball back to Valdes, and then he ran out of space to receive the ball.

After receiving the ball, Iniesta shoved the ball to Xavi and continued to run.

Harvey and Busques cooperated continuously, and finally Messi came back to participate in the pass.

Barcelona quickly passed the midfield with a continuous fit.

"Atlético de Madrid's front-court press was broken!!!"

The narrators spoke.

Such scenes often appear in Barcelona's games, and it is not that no one thinks of using the frontcourt to press against Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona's passing coordination is really perfect, and they still pass the ball under such circumstances. come out.

Guardiola was a little proud, he glanced at Gao Bo not far away.

Do you think that pressing the frontcourt is enough to deal with Barcelona?

You underestimate us too much!

Gao Bo certainly does not think that pressing the frontcourt will make Barcelona helpless, so he is not in a hurry.

The Atlético de Madrid players also retreated when the Barcelona players passed the ball.

Atlético de Madrid players are constantly on the move, even in defensive form.

When the ball was passed by Barcelona across the midfield, Atletico Madrid's defensive arrangement was complete.

Every player in Guardiola's team who receives the ball has several spots.

Gao Bo's Atlético Madrid players were like flowing water at this time, and they were not easy to grab, but gradually formed a split and surrounded Barcelona's ball-handling players.

When Iniesta got the ball again, he realized that the safe passing line was gone!

Atletico Madrid cut several of his passing lines.

A smile appeared on Gao Bo's face.

Barcelona always like to wear safe passes, they don't take chances easily - they only take risks when there is a potential attacking threat!

And now Atletico Madrid's players cut the connection between their players by moving, forcing Barcelona's players to make a choice!

Either risk passing the ball or.... dribble the ball yourself!

Iniesta's dribbling ability is excellent, but if he chooses to dribble the ball himself, in the midfield circle, once he loses the ball, Atletico Madrid will immediately be a lightning-fast counterattack!

Iniesta did not choose to dribble the ball himself, but chose to pass the ball forward!

He glanced up at Messi's position, and then suddenly threw the ball and made a crack in the encirclement with a change of rhythm.

Then Iniesta's pass passed from this crack!

Messi and Iniesta have a very tacit understanding. The moment Iniesta just passed the ball, Messi stepped forward to prepare!

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Messi!

"Kante's steal!!!"

Kante's prediction was very accurate. When Iniesta passed the ball, Kante, who was dragging behind the midfield defense, had already started!

He is fast! At least one advantage of the short Kante is that he has a good start, so even Messi didn't react at once, and the football was cut off by Kante! !

Gao Bo was not at all surprised by Kante's performance.

The first four cards occupy four card slots, and the fifth card slot, Gao Bo's choice, was given to Kanter.

[Game Card (Blue): Stealing ability increased by 15%, designated player "N'Golo Kante" to use. 】

Kante's stealing ability was good in the first place. With this card and the blue stealing card added together, his stealing ability increased by 30% out of thin air! !

This almost means that Kante is the most powerful stealing machine in the world right now! !

In this game, the reason why Gao Bo asked the players to play the pace and rhythm, and to have a ball possession machine in the midfield, is also one of Gao Bo's confidence!

He is not afraid to lose the ball because he believes that his players can quickly get the ball back!

And after the steal, Atletico Madrid also immediately launched an attack on the spot!

The moment of attack and defense conversion!

Atlético de Madrid quickly switched from defensive to offensive!

Kante passes the ball to Modric, Modric is passing to Griezmann!

Two passes in a row, two forwards in a row!

forward! ! ! !

Gao Bo suddenly stood up!

This is what Gao Bo wants to see the most! !

Catch the moment of offense and defense transition! ! Let Barcelona be forced to follow!

Like it is now!

Barcelona's players are high back on defense!

And Griezmann didn't stop after he got the ball. He didn't even look up at the penalty area, he just swept the ball low! !

Point ahead!

Aguero rushed to the position! ! !

But Pique's defense is still in place!

He has longer legs than Aguero, so he blocked the ball early!

Maxwell and Griezmann ran to the football blocked by Pique at the same time, but Griezmann still got one step ahead, he hooked the ball back and then passed the ball to the penalty area!

This time the direction is the top of the restricted area arc!

Raul Garcia hits the ball! !

Puyol made a save with his body betting on the eye-catching, then controlled the ball and passed the ball to Alves on the other side!

Alves takes the ball and turns around, then shoves the ball to Messi!

Messi turned and dribbled the ball over the half!

Atlético de Madrid players are also on the defensive!

At this time, the Barcelona players hadn't come up yet, but Messi didn't want to miss this opportunity to counterattack, so he created Longtan. Can't control the ball!

It's Kante again!

Kante shoveled the ball to Raul Garcia with a big sliding tackle!

Raul Garcia immediately turned around and continued to kick the ball forward!

In a blink of an eye, the offense and defense are out of place again!

The ball is frequently exchanged under the feet of both sides, and the rhythm of the game begins to become very fast!

Gao Bo put his hand in his trouser pocket. To be honest, this kind of game rhythm is not easy for any team!

The same goes for Atlético de Madrid!

But Gao Bo firmly believes that Atletico Madrid's training this summer allows his players to adapt to the rhythm of the game up and down!

And with the help of cards, Atletico Madrid is better than Barcelona in terms of stealing success rate and physical fitness! !

Get the rhythm up! Then beat Barcelona head-on! ! !

This is Gao Bo's plan!

And Guardiola, who had been watching for a while on the sidelines, became a little anxious.

He shouted loudly, pressing his hands down, signaling the Barcelona players to stabilize the situation first.

But how can the rhythm come down so quickly!

The two sides came and went, and the rhythm of the game began to slide to the edge of out of control!

In the twelfth minute of the game, the situation on the field reached a climax!

Here Barcelona has just completed an attack. After Pedro cut inside, the shot failed to hit the force and was stolen by Godin. After Godin intercepted the ball, he dribbled the ball forward as a central defender and passed between Villa and Pedro. !

The two Barcelona players are still defending Godin from passing the ball. How could Godin bring the ball up by himself this time?

And Godin did not continue to dribble the ball after he dribbled the ball past Barcelona's forward line. He passed the ball diagonally to the left!

Raul Garcia finds Reyes as soon as he gets the ball!

Reyes dribbled the ball along the sideline, then turned to cut in when he was near the penalty area!

After bringing the defense line over, Sandro came up!

A simple two-for-one!

Sandro made a high dash and swept the ball to the middle near the baseline! !

Raul Garcia pressed into the penalty area, he and Busques are fighting for position!

The football hit Busquez's ankle with a sideline and ran to the defense line outside the penalty area.

At this time, Modric pushed the ball with his left foot at the top of the penalty area!

Football passes through the crowd!

Valdez's line of sight was blocked, and when he saw the ball clearly, it was still too late!

The football flew into the goal in the stunned eyes of the Barcelona players!

One to zero! !

Atlético de Madrid ahead! ! !

After the goal, Modric was quickly pulled to the ground by the excited Atletico Madrid players!

Atlético de Madrid players stacked Rohan in the penalty area.

Calderon's stands are already boiling!

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa1!!!!!!!!"

The Spanish narrator's iconic big tongue roared!

It was like a volcanic explosion! !

Guardiola's face paled.

There's no way... there's nothing behind it! !

Atlético de Madrid has no backs at all! !

Gao Bo has no conspiracy at all!

Everything is an upright conspiracy! ! !

Gao Bo's tactics are very obvious. He quickens the tempo and beats the slow with the fast! This is easy to say, but not easy to do. In a fast-paced state, it is not easy to control the ball well, let alone play the offense well!

But the thing is, they actually did it!

If you want to do this, you must go through a long period of intensive training to be possible!

That is to say, Gao Bo did not use all kinds of tactics just because his opponent was Barcelona. He still spared no effort to strengthen the team's tactical style and used a dignified array to deal with Barcelona!

An upright tactic, even if Guardiola understands it now, it is not easy for him to defeat such a tactic!
