Chapter 392 Barcelona Awaits

The 392nd chapter is waiting for Barcelona

Barcelona, ​​Gamper training base!

In an outdoor football stadium in Gambo Sports City, the Barcelona first team is playing a group match!

The atmosphere of this team match, which should have been relaxed, turned out to be a little dignified.

If it is the past, such a game must be full of laughter and laughter.

Barcelona's players will laugh at a player being dumped in a row, and applaud Messi's dribbling over and over again.

Even when someone gets a one-handed, the defender will pick up the opponent and yell for a foul.

It is normal for players to relax in the team's scrims. Therefore, a tense atmosphere like the current one means that it is abnormal!

Messi took the ball past Alves, then collided with Pique, and both fell to the ground.

Although Pique did not put a tackle, such a collision already shows that the current Barcelona players are in a highly tense state!

Both Guardiola and Vilanova on the sidelines were taken aback, but fortunately they saw Messi and Pique patted the dust on their bodies and continued to devote themselves to training.

Vilanova breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there really no problem with this? Pep?!" Vilanova looked at his boss Guardiola, "Why do I look a little scared!"

Guardiola was actually a little worried about the collision just now, but as soon as he thought of his opponent two days later, Guardiola immediately made up his mind!

"Attitude! Tito!!" Guardiola didn't look back, he continued to watch the fierce confrontation on the training ground.

"We have to get our attitude out!! They have already won us three times this season, and if we lose this time, we will lose everything in the league!"

Guardiola looks serious!

The King's Cup was eliminated. In the domestic arena, the only thing Barcelona can fight for is the league championship!

Guardiola is naturally impossible to give up this championship, so Barcelona must win this game against Atletico Madrid!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most crucial battle in the league!

Villanova sighed secretly,

To be able to push Guardiola and Barcelona to this level, Gao Bo and his Atletico Madrid have done it now.

Almost everything in the Barcelona team these two days revolves around this game.

From offensive tactics to defensive tactics, from game details to player mentality!

Guardiola is preparing for this game almost like he is preparing for a Champions League final!

......

That night, the lights in Guardiola's office were still on.

Vilanova finished his last job, and when he was about to go back, he saw the lights in Guardiola's office.

He hesitated, then came to the office and knocked on the door.

He found that Gao Bo was sitting in front of the TV, still staring at the screen, his brows furrowed, and he was writing and drawing in his notebook from time to time.

Vilanova leaned over and found that the video of the match between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona was playing on the screen, which was already the third time the two sides played against each other.

"Have you watched all three games? It's been four or five hours?" Villanova asked in surprise.

"No!" Guardiola turned his head and glanced at him.

Vilanova breathed a sigh of relief, but was stunned by what Guardiola said next.

"I've watched both Atlético de Madrid and strong teams this season!"

Guardiola picked up the notebook, he paused the screen, and then continued to record something on the notebook.

Villanova shook her head.

The two have worked together for a long time, and Vilanova also knows that Guardiola is a workaholic, but it is the first time to do such detailed research on an opponent like now!

Guardiola is a fan of the philosophy of Barcelona football. Under Guardiola, Barcelona, ​​with the triangle of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta as the core, played amazing football.

So they get everything.

Barcelona's football philosophy is almost the belief of Guardiola. He has always thought that as long as Barcelona can exert their own characteristics, they will be invincible in the world!

And now, the emergence of Atlético de Madrid has given Guardiola a sense of crisis!

Atletico Madrid under Gao Bo also plays a kind of football that focuses on attacking. They are fast, strong in impact, fly on both wings and interspersed in the middle. They do not pursue ball control, they are more direct and sharp, and they are also fully implemented in defense. The idea of ​​​​controlling the space, through the overall coordinated movement from the front court to the back court, a comprehensive pressing.

To a certain extent, Gao Bo's tactics are very flexible. Within the framework of this set of tactics, Gao Bo's team can play the shock flow of the frontcourt pressing, and can also recycle and use both sides to play counterattacks. They can even learn from Barcelona's football. Control the ball.

They seem to be well versed in everything.

Therefore, when facing such a team, Guardiola found that it is really not easy to find the weakness of Atletico Madrid!

Since there is no weakness that can be exploited in the opponent, the key to this game is that Barcelona's own play! !

Just a head-to-head game!

"It's hard to imagine that they can achieve such a level of tacit understanding in only half a season..."

After seeing a continuous pass from Atletico Madrid on the screen, Vilanova shook his head and sighed.

Barcelona is also very good at continuous passing and cutting in the frontcourt, but Vilanova knows that Barcelona does this because their core players are their own youth training products. From Barcelona's youth training camp, their players have been They are already playing the same football, so La Masia's students are almost seamlessly connected to the first team, and now this Barcelona team has gone through several seasons of running-in to reach this level.

But what about Atletico Madrid?

"No, they are not tacit enough!"

Guardiola smiled.

Atlético de Madrid's passing looks good, but it's a bit less consummate than Barcelona's season-long fusion.

"If it's just pass control, we're definitely better than them, and by more than a notch!"

Guardiola said confidently.

"It's a pity that they don't compare to us in this regard...the purpose of every pass they pass is to shoot, do you see that? Tito!"

Guardiola turned to Vilanova.

"They have more than 20 shots per game!"

Vilanova nodded, Atletico Madrid felt like a sharp knife this season, and they seemed to be able to create threats at all times.

"Yes, I know that." Vilanova looked at a thick notebook in Guardiola's hand, which was densely filled with various tactical materials, "Did you find a way to deal with them?" La Nova's eyes lit up.

Guardiola shook his head: "Not yet!"

Then he paused: "But...I'm getting a feel for it."

With that said, Guardiola stood up.

"Come on, come with me for a drink!"

Guardiola picked up the coat which was on the back of the chair.

"I haven't eaten dinner yet..."
