Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 250 Football has officially entered the stage of Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the era of peerless double pride!

"goal!!!"

"Unbelievable, I can't believe it, it was Manchester City who scored the first goal at the Nou Camp!"

"Lin, the 18-year-old made his debut at the Nou Camp and scored against his old club. He stood up again when the team was in distress, and scored a grain of gold with a long-distance attack. Such a goal!"

"You can always trust Lin!"

"Barcelona is in danger. If the game ends with this score, it will be very detrimental to their promotion!"

"Even if they beat Manchester City in the end, giving Manchester City an away goal at home is not good for Barcelona's promotion situation!"

The commentators of the major TV stations all fell into madness the moment Lin Quan scored this goal.

There are very few people who are optimistic about Manchester City before the game. Judging from the situation in the first three and 10 minutes, the trend of the game is in line with everyone's expectations.

The powerful Barcelona has the upper hand, Manchester City is crumbling under Barcelona's fierce attack, and Barcelona's victory seems to be only a matter of time.

However, Lin Quan's goal shattered it all!

What's the use of having more ball possession and more shots?

As long as you can't score goals, you can't convert these advantages into victories.

After all, a football game is still a game of who scores more goals, and now, Manchester City has scored a goal, but Barcelona's account is still a zero egg!

Therefore, many experts began to doubt their own judgment.

Does Barcelona really have the advantage?

On the sidelines, Barcelona coach Martino is also thinking about this issue.

After coaching Barcelona, ​​he has already discovered that the passing and control tactics left by Guardiola are not as easy to use as before.

Pass-and-control football has high requirements on the strength of the team's lineup. The players on the field need to have a strong ability to play the ball, and they must also have sufficient physical fitness to allow them to execute high-position pressing tactics in the frontcourt.

Controlling the ball at his own feet and replacing defense with offense is the essence of Guardiola's passing tactics.

This tactic was a great success a few years ago. In addition to the lack of understanding of this tactic by the outside world, it was also related to Barcelona's lineup at the time.

The Barcelona lineup during the Guardiola period was obviously younger. When he led the team to win the Champions League, Messi was only in his early 20s, Xavi was less than 30 years old, and the young white Busquets and others were also in the golden age of 23-26 years old. Inside.

At that time, they had sufficient physical fitness to implement the tactics of pressing high in the frontcourt. When other teams faced Barcelona, ​​they either couldn't get the ball at all and could only defend passively.

Either they finally got the ball, but because there was no way out of the ball, they were quickly robbed of the ball by Barcelona's high-position tactics, and then fell into a situation where they could not get the ball and were passively beaten.

But now, it is difficult for Barcelona to implement this high-position pressing tactic.

The players are too old and their running ability is not as good as it was then.In addition to being inspired by Mourinho, other teams have developed methods for their pass control tactics-exchanging space for time!
A football game is nothing more than a game of time and space!
Barcelona's pass control is to use the space to the extreme. When the football is at the feet of Barcelona, ​​​​they will patiently turn their feet, and use frequent changes, overlaps, and midfielders to attack, etc., to pull the opponent's defensive formation. breakthrough.

Once the opponent makes a mistake, Barcelona's thunderous blow will come.

But because they take a long time to organize the attack, the efficiency of using time naturally becomes very low.

Mourinho did the opposite, giving up the competition for space, which greatly improved the efficiency of time.

His team does not pursue ball possession rate, the empty ball is handed over to you, and I will seize the opportunity of your offensive mistakes.

Once the possession of the ball changes and it is his team's turn to attack, he will pursue the most extreme and efficient counterattack. Players do not need to move and pass as complicated as Barcelona. After receiving the ball, they pass straight forward. The striker in front ran forward desperately.

Only two or three passes are needed, and the football has gone from one's own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area.

Real Madrid in the Mourinho era had the ability to complete an attack in ten seconds or less.

Because the time is too short, most of the opponent's players have no time to retreat, so their counterattack efficiency is very high. As long as the ball is successfully passed to the striker's feet, it is very likely to be converted into a goal.

And Manchester City's attack this time is simply a replica of the original Real Madrid team.

It was precisely because of this that Martino's heart began to shake.

When Guardiola's dream three dynasties played against Mourinho in the later period, they didn't take advantage.

The Barcelona he took over was two years older than at that time. Facing Manchester City's tactics, can they beat each other?

It wasn't just Martino who had such an idea. After seeing Lin Quan's goal, many players in the Barcelona team felt a sense of frustration.

They labored hard to hold the ball for 30 minutes and managed 6 shots without scoring a single goal.

But the opponent only launched a counterattack and scored a goal!

This contrast is too strong, and it is inevitable for Barcelona players to feel a little frustrated.

He only joined Barcelona last summer, and Neymar, who has never experienced Barcelona at his peak, even began to doubt whether the pass-and-control tactics are really right?

Messi stood on the field with his hands on his hips looking at Lin Quan who was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate.

He wasn't surprised by Lin's all-around goal.

What really caught his attention was why the opponent knew his playing style so well and could predict his actions.

Is it fake?

Or, did he really understand himself to such a nuanced level?
Messi is going to try again!
After the game restarted, Messi offered to ask for the ball.

The teammates believed in Messi's ability, and immediately passed the ball to him when he saw him asking for the ball.

Unsurprisingly, Lin Quan appeared in front of him again.

Messi was not careless this time. Although the opponent is not a dedicated defensive player, judging from his last defense, Lin Quan's defensive ability is not bad.

He made a feint, shifting his weight to the right while sinking his shoulders for a breakthrough.

Seeing Messi's move, Lin Quan immediately raised his vigilance.

coming!

The dilemma of defensive players when facing Messi!

Ignoring his fake moves, he will turn the fake moves into real ones and break through with the trend. Following his fake moves, he will adjust his feet at a faster speed and pass.

In short, no matter how you choose, it seems to be wrong!

Lin Quan often uses this trick in one-on-one situations, and the effect is very good. The success rate in one-on-one situations is extremely high.

Knowing the power of this trick doesn't mean that Lin Quan can prevent it!
Although he knows Messi's way of playing football and even his habits, he is not Messi after all, and he doesn't know what choice the opponent will make.

When he uses this method to surpass others, the final decision is made based on the choice of the defensive player.

Seeing that Lin Quan didn't make a choice, Messi immediately made a breakthrough from his right side.

Lin Quan turned around a step slower, and when he turned to chase, it was already too late.

When Cross saw that Lin Quan had been passed, he immediately came up to intercept him.

Messi passed the ball to Neymar, who slid down the wing.

Manchester City's full-back rushed up, but Messi did not know when he also came to the wing. He received a pass from Neymar, and immediately cut inside and killed towards Manchester City's penalty area.

Kompany immediately stepped forward to intercept and block, not giving Messi the space to shoot and break through.

Messi passed the ball again, and Iniesta didn't know when he had already advanced to the front of the penalty area.

After receiving Messi's pass, he picked a pass to the left side of the penalty area. There is currently no one here, but Xiaobai knows that Messi will definitely run here.

Sure enough, Messi didn't go to see how Iniesta handled the ball after passing the ball. He chose to believe in the tacit understanding between his teammates and him.

If Messi ran directly to the open space on the left side of the penalty area, then Manchester City's defenders may be more vigilant.

But Messi was smart, he took a step back after the pass and made a reverse run.

This confuses City's defenders and prevents them from keeping up with them when Messi counter-runs, giving Messi space to receive the ball!
For a player like Messi, giving him such a space is definitely a fatal mistake!

People arrive, ball arrives!
Messi just ran to the open space on the left, and Xiaobai's pass arrived as scheduled.

The rest was simple, with Messi stroking the ball into City's goal with a chest stop.

Manchester City's defenders raised their hands, thinking it was an offside goal.

However, the linesman did not raise the flag, and the referee ruled that the goal was valid.

The slow-motion replay of the scene showed that the ball was indeed within a few millimeters.

When Messi's back run, Manchester City's defender just moved forward, making the ball look like offside.

If Messi's start speed was half a second faster, or if Manchester City's defenders moved the defense forward a little faster, then the ball would really be offside.

In the 33rd minute, with Messi's goal, Barcelona equalized the score.

Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp, this time can finally celebrate unscrupulously.

And Messi, the hero of the goal, celebrated this goal with his iconic way of pointing at the sky.

For this matchup between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​the outside world believes that the biggest highlight is the direct dialogue between Messi and Lin Quan.

Messi's fame was the earliest, and he has won more honors.

Therefore, the outside world was more optimistic about Messi before the game, but it was Lin Quan who scored the first goal in the game.

This surprised the outside world and made Messi feel a lot of pressure.

Well now, he finally scored a goal, and finally won't be compared to this guy!

It's also very strange to say that no matter how the outside world hypes up the battle between him and Ronaldo, they even single them out and give them the title of peerless double pride.

But for Ronaldo, Messi's mentality has always been relatively peaceful.

He didn't regard Ronaldo as his opponent in his heart, and he didn't care much about such hype.

But Lin Quan is different!
From the first day he saw Lin Quan playing, Messi realized that this guy would become his biggest competitor!

He secretly followed Lin Quan for two years, during which time he even got some gains from Lin Quan's playing skills and methods, using Lin Quan as a mirror to improve his own strength.

Although he has never admitted it in public, in Messi's heart, he has already regarded Lin Quanshi as his biggest opponent!

Therefore, he cares more about this game than outsiders imagined!
Seeing Messi's goal, Lin Quan was also a little helpless.

It's really not easy to guard against Messi, but I shouldn't have hesitated just now.

Or take a decisive gamble to see who has the faster reaction speed. The main reason why he and Messi are difficult to defend in this way is that their foot frequency is faster. After the opponent makes a choice, Backlash.

Of course, even if the frequency of the two feet is the same, the initiative is still in the hands of Messi, and he is in a disadvantageous position of passive defense.

Therefore, in such a confrontation, I am afraid that I will win less and lose more.

Is there any way to limit Messi?
Lin Quan was lost in thought.

……

Messi's goal has improved Barcelona's momentum a lot. They have further improved the rhythm of the game and more actively increased the frontcourt pressing.

The football was passed quickly at the feet of the Barcelona players, through Messi and Neymar and others constantly crossing positions, and the two full-backs stepped forward to assist.

Messi, Neymar, Iniesta and others got chances to shoot one after another, and Barcelona played a wave of offensive climax.

This round of attacking Manchester City was very embarrassing. Yaya Toure and Kompany received yellow cards in defense one after another.

Kupels' law enforcement standards are indeed very strict, and his cards are also very decisive.

After receiving the yellow card, both Yaya Toure and Kompany were afraid and did not dare to make too many moves, which made Manchester City's defense more difficult.

During this period of time, Joe Hart became the busiest person on the field.

He blocked on the goal line and resolved Barcelona's offense time and time again without expanding the number of goals conceded.

But it won't work like this. After learning the lesson of conceding the ball before, Barcelona is very vigilant about Manchester City's counterattack.

After they lose the ball, they will immediately fight back on the spot, and they will fight back with multiple people.

Except for Lin Quan, it is difficult for Manchester City to hold the ball under such pressure, let alone pass the ball.

Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, and he couldn't get the ball in front, Lin Quan simply retreated to the front of the penalty area to participate in defense.

Anyway, let's defend the first half first!
Naturally, Barcelona can't let Manchester City do what they want. They hope to score another goal at the last moment and try to return to the locker room with the lead.

In the 41st minute, the ball came to Messi's feet again.

Lin Quan took the initiative to step forward and came to Messi.

come again?
Messi saw Lin Quan again, and he didn't care as much as before.

The two played against each other twice, with one win and one loss.

But with previous successful experience, Messi's confidence has greatly increased.

He made the same action as last time, placing multiple choice questions in front of Lin Quan.

However, Lin Quan had already thought of a countermeasure, so he took a step back.

Since it's not a good choice, then I simply don't make a choice.

The initiative is handed over to you!

Messi was very surprised by Lin Quan's move: the opponent actually retreated on his own initiative?
Could it be that he was afraid?
No, definitely not!
Based on Messi's understanding of Lin Quan, he has never been afraid of seeing him before!

Yaya Toure had already approached from the side, and Messi couldn't think too much at this time. Taking advantage of the opponent's retreat space, Messi took advantage of the situation to complete the previous action and broke forward.

Lin Quan had expected that he would make such a choice, turned around quickly when retreating, stuck in the position and kept pace with Messi.

At the same time, Lin Quan leaned his body over and went directly to fight with his body, constantly squeezing Messi's position, making it difficult for him to dribble the ball smoothly.

Messi was squeezed very hard, Lin Quan's height and weight have advantages over Messi, and Messi is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation between the two.

After realizing this, Messi turned around decisively and took off the pressure on his body, but he also lost the opportunity to hit Manchester City's penalty area.

Seeing that Lin Quan once again successfully defended against Messi in a one-on-one duel, the fans and guests in the commentary were very surprised.

One success is a fluke, what about two?
Could it be a fluke?
"Wow, what a surprise, Lin Quan actually froze Messi in one-on-one defense!"

In La Liga and the Champions League, Messi has always been a nightmare for the defenders of each team. In one-on-one duels, few people can successfully defend Messi, so everyone did not expect Lin Quan to be able to do it at this point.

"Hehe, Lin has made outstanding contributions on both offensive and defensive ends. So far, his performance is undoubtedly better than Messi's!"

The first half was almost over, and the score was still 1:1. Both Lin Quan and Messi scored a goal. Judging from the goals, the two were tied.

But Lin Quan has made more contributions to the team on the defensive end. For an offensive player who can do this, what else can you criticize him for?

"Before the game, many people didn't agree with the fact that Lin Quan was placed on the same level as Melo. I think after this game, the voice of doubt should be much smaller!"

In the CCTV studio, after seeing Lin Quan's performance in the first half, He Wei was full of praise for him:

"Lin Quan, there is no doubt that he is at the same level as Melo!"

"In the future, the situation of two heroes competing for hegemony in football may become the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"
