magic coach

China has a very interesting metaphor for dense defense, which is called tortoise. After Alkmaar shrinks the defense, the entire formation is indeed like a tortoise. Thomasson is at the top and Drogba is behind him, just like a tortoise. Head and neck, but Drogba has to participate in the defense of the midfield, and Klose directly returns to the midfield and becomes a defensive player, while Ronaldinho is responsible for the dual tasks of defense and offense.These eight players are like the body of a tortoise, and the goalkeeper Cesar is dragged at the end, like the tail of a tortoise.

Although the tortoise sounds ugly, it is very practical. The thick tortoise shell is like an armor, which cannot be knocked open without a heavy hammer. If you are not careful, you may be bitten by fast sharp teeth.It is very difficult for the opponent.

Barcelona faced this dilemma in the last 10 minutes. In the narrow space of the De Hoult Stadium, their stars have no room to break through, and there is no room to cooperate. What's more, Alkmaar can't even pass from the bottom. Don't let Barcelona finish, only give Barcelona the chance to lob and long-range shots in the backcourt.

It has become a tradition for a team like Barcelona to play short passes and penetration. Even the arrival of Van Gaal has not changed this tradition of the team. It has only increased its own tactical thinking, focusing on playing on the side, combining the side and the center, and playing fast. .

It is almost impossible for Barcelona to play long passes, and they do not have such a staffing arrangement. Even if short passes cannot be penetrated, Barcelona will continue to pass and pass around the penalty area of ​​Alkmaar, falling and falling. Trying hard to find every flaw in Alkmaar.

Alkmaar's defense has always been good, and Jiang Mu also attaches great importance to the team's defense, but they really don't play much intensive defense, mainly because no team can play them intensively.Mistakes are unavoidable when defending, but there is a small space and there are so many defensive players, one player's mistakes will be immediately remedied by another player.The reaction time left for offensive players is very short, and it is very difficult to catch.

The game lasted until the No.80 minute when Barcelona penetrated into Alkmaar's penalty area, and Enrique directly faced the goalkeeper Cesar after inserting, but the angle from which Enrique could shoot was very small, he He wanted to penetrate Cesar's crotch, but hit Cesar's leg and bounced out.

At this moment, time has not allowed Barcelona to embroider near the penalty area of ​​Alkmaar, and the penetration of short passes in the center has become outdated. Van Gaal has no good moves at this moment. He can only replace another forward, Zenden, and replace central defender Abbe Rado, use four strikers to attack Barcelona's penalty area.

At 10 and [-] minutes, Alkmaar led by two goals. This huge psychological advantage allowed Alkmaar players to play with ease, with accurate positioning, decisive clearance, and aggressive grabs. Every Alkmaar player played extremely well. high standard.The Spanish commentator couldn't help exclaiming: "Drogba is more like a defender than a defender! Ronaldinho fights like Gattuso! God, this Alkmaar team is crazy."

The Spanish commentator said it well. Now Alkmaar is crazy. The glory of defeating Barcelona and reaching the quarter-finals, and the huge bonuses stimulate these young people like stimulants. For them, If you win, you will get famous cars, beauties, luxury houses, and fame. How could they not work hard.For Barcelona, ​​winning Alkmaar is just a normal performance, and losing to Alkmaar is a shameful thing. Their psychological pressure has been much greater than Alkmaar from the beginning. An important reason why Mal was able to lead Barcelona 3:1.

As the game time passed by every minute and every second, Barcelona became more impatient. Even smart players like Harvey and Guardiola couldn't help but start throwing the ball towards the penalty area. It shows how impatient they are, and it also shows that they Already at the end of their wits, there is nothing they can do about Alkmaar's intensive defense.

However, Barcelona's nonsensical chaos brought more pressure to Alkmaar than their short pass penetration. Flying back and forth, the ball flies back and forth in front of the goal for a long time, even if there is no Barcelona player, it is possible to push the ball into his own goal.How can players not be under pressure.

Because of Chang'e-5's monitoring of various physical data of the players, Jiang Mu has a good grasp of the players' psychology. He saw that the players' psychological pressure was too high, the error rate was increasing, and their actions became more violent than before. Unnecessary fouls also started to foul. He knew that he couldn't keep defending like this. Even if it was less than 5 minutes including stoppage time, if he conceded a goal in these 3 minutes, the score of 2:2 would not be as good as 1:1. 0:[-], he took advantage of Barcelona's free kick and ordered Ronaldinho, Thomason, Drogba, and Klose to attack, putting a little pressure on the opponent's defense and preventing the opponent from attacking unscrupulously.

Barcelona's free kick was at the front of the penalty area, and Figo took the penalty.

At this time, Figo naturally didn't have the mind to play any tactical coordination. He directly fired the cannon and volleyed vigorously, trying to penetrate the wall, but the ball bounced back on the wall.However, the ball bounced back almost straight, and just bounced back in front of Figo. Figo followed up with another volley without thinking.At this time, the human wall was already in chaos, and Figo's volley flew straight to the far corner of the goal.

Good Cesar, in an almost impossible situation, he flew into the dive, stretched his body almost to the limit, and lifted the ball out of the baseline with one hand.

The shot was beautiful and the defense was wonderful, and the fans applauded everywhere. Barcelona fans and Alkmaar fans cheered for Figo and Cesar, the protagonists in this attack and defense.

Figo waved his fist regretfully. This shot was already very good, with excellent timing, strength, and angle, but this little-known young boy actually threw the shot away.Bad luck.

Van Gaal was almost ready to celebrate, but the ball was saved, and he sat down with a sigh. 3:1 and 3:2 are two completely different concepts. Now he no longer expects to equalize the score, as long as he can With one more goal, they will be able to return to Barcelona with a bit of face, but such good shots have all been saved, and Barcelona's idea today is a little bit off.

Next is Barcelona’s corner kick. This corner kick was taken by Guardiola. For the first time, Guardiola’s corner kick hit the penalty area, but the referee Frix asked for a heavy penalty because the ball was not placed in the designated position. .The second time Guardiola played a tactical corner and passed the ball to full-back Sergi.

Sergi, who was suppressed throughout the game and failed to perform, performed bravely this time, wading directly to the bottom of Kronkamp and sweeping the ball into the penalty area with the power of his shot.

This pass is very threatening, because the speed is too fast, the goalkeeper dare not touch it, and the players in the penalty area may hit the goal, but what is surprising is that there are more than a dozen players from Barcelona and Alkmaar in the penalty area , but no one touched the ball, and the ball flew directly out of the sideline.

This weird scene shocked all the fans in the audience, talking about how the ball escaped the kicking and kicking of dozens of feet.

These two threatening attacks by Barcelona strengthened the determination of the Alkmaar players to counterattack. After Riise threw the ball out of bounds to Ronaldinho, the Barcelona players immediately kicked the ball out. After catching Ronaldinho, when Riise passed the ball to Ronaldinho again, Litmanning directly kicked Ronaldinho with his legs, and the ball flew out of the sideline again.

The referee Flicks whistled for a foul by Littmanning and awarded Alkmaar a free kick in the backcourt.

This time Ronaldinho didn't pass the ball directly to Thomason. He played a small match with Riise and took the ball forward. When Litmanning came up again, Ronaldinho didn't foul him again. Opportunity, speeding up, breaking through Litmanning's defense, and then before Guardiola came up, he made a long pass to the empty right to find Drogba who was pulling the edge.

Didier Drogba saw that there was no one on the left or right, so he dribbled the ball from the wing to Barcelona's half.

Sergi has already assisted to the frontcourt. He saw Drogba dribbling the ball and assisting him. Jiang Mu's order, now Alkmaar's offensive players are scattered, appearing on the left, center and right three lines, Drogba can lead and pass, there are many choices, seeing Sergi chasing, Drogba takes the ball Passed to the middle to find Klose.

Because Barcelona replaced central defender Abelardo, now only De Boer is marking Thomasson in the middle, and Klose is following Harvey.

But the big black Drogba is a big man with great wisdom. He saw that Harvey was following Klose, so he passed a high-altitude ball.

Klose's header is the first in Alkmaar. Harvey wants to compete with Klose for the header. counterattack.

Harvey used his own header to look at Klose's header. He thought he could rely on Klose, but he didn't expect Klose's ability to stay in the air. After plugging Van Bommel.

Van Bommel plugged in very quickly, and there were only teammate Thomasson and central defender De Boer in front of him.

Although De Boer knew the danger of Thomason, but at this time he could only abandon Thomason to guard against Bommel.

When there is only one central defender left, but the opponent has two offensive players, even if the central defender is the number one in the world, there is nothing to do at this time unless the opponent makes a mistake.

Van Bommel didn't try to be aggressive or greedy, he passed the ball directly behind De Boer.

At this time, Thomason, who was running back with De Boer, suddenly turned back to catch the ball, because Sergi was closer to the goalkeeper than Thomason on the wing, and Thomason was a beautiful anti-offside.

The one-handed Thomasson didn't waste the opportunity. Facing the goalkeeper Baia, he pushed the lower left corner of the goal and scored the fourth goal of the game, which also ended Barcelona's last madness.
