What ball king, call me ball god

Lin Kedi also stood up and joined the battle.

"Sir, this is definitely a red card action. I was carrying the ball. I was about to go solo. He grabbed my shoulder directly from behind. I swear, his feet didn't touch the ball at all, but he threw me Pulled down, he ruined an excellent shot opportunity for us! This is absolutely impossible to be a yellow card action-by the way, he was still in the penalty area and Pique double-teamed me just now, that time was a foul, now twice Foul!"

Lin Kedi spoke eagerly.

When Lin Kedi appealed, the referee kept writing down the things behind the yellow card, and when he was done, he looked at Lin Kedi.

"This is Mr. Langley's second foul. In fact, he is not the last defender except the goalkeeper. The last defender is Mr. Pique, so this is not a red card. Secondly, I have warned you just now. Lenglet, showing a yellow card this time is also reasonable, I hope you will control your emotions."

Lin Kedi became even more angry after hearing this, and was about to say something more immediately.

At this time, She Nei came up and dragged Link away.

Then Tadic came up to negotiate with the referee.

He knew that it was difficult for the referee to change his mind at this time. Although there was already a var, it was obvious that the referee was not going to look at the var.

So Tadic will come to put pressure on the referee to ensure that the referee will enforce the law "fairly" in the next game, at least on the same scale.

"Sir, I understand your considerations, and I respect your law enforcement, but I want to understand, and I hope to continue this law enforcement standard in subsequent games."

Tadic spoke very bluntly, and left directly after speaking.

And this penalty also gave Ajax a free kick.

However, this position is a bit close to the goal, only 1 meters away from the penalty area line. If it is too close, free kicks are not easy to hit. If you want to hit an arc, you basically have to go out of the baseline before the ball falls.

Generally speaking, you can play the ground ball in this position, and you can also play banana balls.Hit the side of the wall as much as possible and don't hit the top.

For Lin Kedi, the player who took the penalty, this ball is really not easy to take the penalty.

Lin Kedi took a deep breath, then waited for the whistle, and it was done overnight.

The ball was kicked out, slightly higher than the crossbar, and flew out of the baseline.

Lin Kedi rubbed his hair a little annoyed, then turned around and ran back.

It is not long before the end of the first half of the game.

Barcelona still has the ball at the moment, but their ball simply cannot pass to Messi's feet in the frontcourt.

In fact, they can still pass it to Suarez. After all, Ajax is wholeheartedly cutting off the connection between teammates and Messi, but the defensive level against Suarez is definitely not as high as Messi, but Barcelona's midfielder The players seem to have been programmed to look for Messi all the time. After being cut off so many times, they still insist on looking for Messi.

In fact, in some cases, it would be better to find Coutinho on the left or go straight to Suarez.

Valverde watched from the sidelines and shook his head, but he also knew that during the intermission, he couldn't say "Don't look for Messi, look for two other points!" When being a head coach in a top giant, sometimes, even tactical ability is not the first priority, and being able to manage the locker room is the first.

Valverde is in a complicated mood. Before this game, he actually got a contract extension from the club's top management. Because his performance in the league this season is really good, so the club communicated with his agent a month ago. It's time to discuss the renewal of the contract.

His contract is 2 years, plus a team option.

If the performance is good, the club can directly activate the team option and directly renew the contract for one year.

However, it is clear that Barcelona's top management is still very satisfied with Valverde. They decided to negotiate a new contract with Valverde, a new contract extension. After about a month of intermittent negotiations, this renewal The contract was given to Valverde before today's game.

The meaning of the Barcelona executives is also very clear. No matter what the result of the Champions League semi-finals, we will renew your contract.

Under this premise, under the premise that he has no worries about his coaching position, Valverde is not a strong coach, so he will naturally not challenge the authority of Barcelona's number one player Messi in the locker room, why bother, Offending Messi is equivalent to offending most of the locker room. Is this a good coach?
So when Valverde was at halftime, he also thought about it. Change a tactic, let Messi move to the center to play the midfielder, Dembele on the right, and then withdraw Vidal, Coutinho still Left winger, but drops back to the midfield to defend when defending.

In this way, there is a fast horse on the right, which can attract some defensive players to reduce the marking of Messi.

In fact, Messi was already the core front midfielder in Barcelona, ​​but the starting point is still on the right. Now Valverde means to let Messi directly set the position in the middle.

In fact, Valverde's idea is nothing more than a good tactical change.

Because the closer to the middle and the closer to the goal, the threat must be the greatest.

If you want to maximize Messi's threat, put him in the middle, with Suarez in front of him to open the way for melee combat, with wingers on both sides to attract defense, and then Messi waits for the harvest in the middle.

After Valverde made a plan, he was ready to use this tactical adjustment directly in the second half.

So, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Valverde went straight back to the locker room, dragged over the tactical board, and placed the tactical flag there. Just after the placement, the Barcelona players They have already filed into the locker room.

Valverde tapped the tactical board.

"In the second half of the game, there was an adjustment. Osman came on and replaced Vidal, but Osman, you go to the right winger position. Leo, you go to the center, behind Luiz, where you can play your best. Felipe, you When attacking, you still play the position of left winger, but when defending, you have to return to the midfield. With this adjustment, our midfield has actually become a tactic with two midfielders and one midfielder. Therefore, pull Kittic, in the second half, you will be responsible for linking the front and back courts. You don’t need to go forward to participate in the offense. This is your task to connect the center and front courts and the left and right scheduling. Okay, do you have any questions? No more, then, Osman , you wait for 3 minutes and go out to warm up."

After Arranging the tactics for the second half resolutely, Valverde walked directly into a small room in the locker room, which is the rest room of the coaching staff.

Valverde's assistant coach couldn't help but said to him: "Ernesto, you are very strong today, you are not like this usually."

The two are also old friends, so they talked directly.

"I got my contract extension yesterday, a new contract extension, do you understand what that means?"

The assistant coach's eyes widened when he heard that.

"Okay, this is a good thing! So you are not strong, you still want to follow Messi to play?"

"I lost the game, lost the semi-finals, I can continue to stay in Barcelona, ​​but if I don't follow the best player in the history of the club to play, let alone the top management, the fans will kill me. So, I am In terms of tactical concepts and work, I chose the latter. I don’t want to be a tactician, I just treat coaching as a job. Thinking about it this way, it will be much easier to coach here.”

Valverde said lightly.

As soon as the game started in the second half, Barcelona took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

This immediately caught Zhan Jun's attention.

"Oh! Barcelona made a substitution. Dembele replaced Vidal. Substitutions in different positions mean that the formation needs to be changed! The specific formation needs to be seen after the start of the game to know."

After a while, Liu Yue discovered the change in Barcelona's formation.

"The formation has changed to 4231! Barcelona has changed to a 4231 formation. Messi plays the front midfielder, Dembele plays the right winger, and Rakitic and Busquez play double midfielders. This change may be intended Use Dembele's speed to attack Ajax."

"Ajax successfully held the first half. In the second half, Barcelona, ​​which was playing at home, took the lead in making substitutions and adjustments. The next step is to see Ajax's response!" (End of this chapter)
