All-around center

"Messi!! A sudden shot helped Barcelona score!"

"Barcelona scored in just 4 minutes. It was definitely a dream start. Real Madrid suffered a heavy blow in the opening stage. They failed to enter the game quickly, and Messi took advantage of this and scored a goal!"

"Barcelona leads Real Madrid 1:0!"

narrator Gonzalez exclaimed.

The goal surprised even him.

In the past, Messi would not shoot like this. Instead, he would dribble to a more threatening position, or be closer to the goal.

But this time, after observing some problems with Casillas' position, he immediately decided to shoot.

Moreover, the quality of this shot was very high and the angle was extremely tricky. Casillas failed to make a successful save.

These all prove that Messi is in excellent condition.

Guardiola on the sidelines clenched his fists hard and celebrated excitedly.

That’s right!

That's it!

Since entering this season, Messi has given him a different feeling. Whether it is training or warm-up matches, Messi has become more eager to score goals.

He began to face up to Su Ke's oppression on him and planned to overturn these pressures.

The change in mentality has improved the state and completely liberated Messi's performance.

And this goal is the best proof.

Moreover, the arrival of Fabregas has once again provided strong support for Barcelona's midfield.

This is not a transfer promoted by Guardiola, but it has to be said that Fabregas is very useful.

Just like this time, under the prismatic stance.

Xavi and Fabregas went one behind the other, controlling the situation in the midfield.

This eliminates the need for Messi to drop back to receive the ball, and Iniesta is able to perform adequately.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have adapted to Real Madrid's high press.

It all broke out at this moment.

Guardiola clenched his fists hard: "It's time to fight back!"

On the other side, in the Real Madrid coaching bench, Mourinho frowned fiercely.

The situation has become different.

Barcelona has never been the same, the latter said.

Although he tried to arrange the defense as carefully as possible, Barcelona still scored.

Khedira failed to stop Messi.

But what Mourinho is most worried about is whether this goal was luck or Messi's intention.

If the latter, then the game will become difficult.

"Shrink the defense line!"

Mourinho shouted toward the pitch; "Raise your arms, what are your bodies for? Put pressure on them, fight! Fight! Seek confrontation!"

Real Madrid's players also looked solemn.

After this goal appeared, they understood that something was wrong.

Suker glanced at the celebrating Barcelona players and gritted his teeth slightly.

it is as expected!

"After the game started again, Barcelona still controlled the ball, and their passing became more and more streamlined. The high press failed to completely disrupt Barcelona's passing rhythm. They used faster and more accurate passing to break through Real Madrid. High position press!”

"However, Real Madrid is also very resilient. They quickly retreated and deployed their defense again!"

Real Madrid was suppressed in the half as a whole.

After several attempts to press to no avail, they did not dare to press too fiercely for fear that the gap they left would be taken advantage of by the opponent.

Barcelona relies on smooth passing to continuously suppress.

Suker is on standby in the frontcourt.

Suk was also very conflicted at this time.

Should he retreat or not?

Suk turned to look at Mourinho.

Mourinho pressed his arm to keep him where he was.

Su Ke breathed out. He could only choose to believe in Mourinho and his teammates.

He must occupy this counterattack position.

At the same time, the players are still enduring the onslaught of Barcelona's attack.

"Left! Left! Block him!"

Kaka and Sanchez collided hard.

But before the impact, Sanchez had already passed the ball to Messi.

Messi looked up at Iniesta, taking advantage of this opportunity, Alonso wanted to steal.

But Messi made a dunk at his feet. Taking advantage of Alonso's stretching of his feet, he suddenly started to break away and approached the penalty area line again.

At this moment, Real Madrid's defense was facing a formidable enemy.

Messi pretends to shoot.

"I come!"

Ramos rushed over.

At this moment, Messi rubbed his foot.

The ball passed over Ramos' head and fell towards the back.

And there, Iniesta suddenly thrust into position.

"Iniesta!! Real Madrid is in danger!!"

boom!

Just when Iniesta was about to shoot against the falling ball, a figure suddenly came from the side. He knocked the ball with his heel. Iniesta looked at the missed opportunity and had no choice but to close his foot.

"Srna!! He filled Ramos's gap and completed the block, but the crisis is not over yet, Barcelona's corner kick!"

In Real Madrid's penalty area, players from both sides fought fiercely.

They refused to give an inch.

"Qiandian! Whose is Qiandian?"

At this time, Sanchez suddenly ran forward.

Barcelona also took free throws suddenly.

Just as the fans at the scene were exclaiming, a figure suddenly slid in and shoveled the ball out of the baseline before Sanchez.

"damn it!"

Suk got up from the ground.

If you don't retrace yourself, this point will be lost.

"Cheer up! Don't miss anything!"

Suk shouted loudly.

The game lasted nearly 20 minutes. Under continuous pressure, Real Madrid's defense also began to make some mistakes.

There is no absolute defense in this world, only relative!

Any strong defense will make mistakes if the pressure is strong enough.

Just like the once-powerful Italian defense and double tackle Ronaldo, although Real Madrid's defense is strong, they cannot resist long-term oppression.

Su Ke did not run back to the frontcourt, but retreated to help with the top battle.

"Real Madrid's defensive pressure was so great that Suker had no choice but to retreat and fight for the top!"

boom!

Ramos completes the rescue.

He knocked the ball to Srna.

Srna received the ball and passed it forward to Kaká.

At this time, Suk had already landed and suddenly started sprinting.

On the other side, Bell also started quickly.

Real Madrid's wings began to activate.

After Kaka observed Suker's position, he chose to pass to Bell.

This is the fastest route to counterattack.

Bell received the ball and immediately ran forward, but he was driven to the baseline position and failed to find a passing space, and the return route was also blocked.

Helpless, Bell forced a pass, and the ball hit Abidal's calf and flew out of the baseline.

Real Madrid gets the first corner kick.

"Fight for the top! Fight for the top!"

Suk called on his teammates to fight for the top.

Mourinho looked at this scene with a frown.

The rhythm got a little confusing.

The midfielder could not control the rhythm of the counterattack, and this time the counterattack was very reluctant.

boom!

Real Madrid's corner kick is awarded.

Suk jumped up in the crowd.

But at the moment of the battle for the top, he was surrounded by three people. Su Ke held his breath and completed the goal with a head-swing.

But the body failed to fully expand and the ball flew over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

"Suker!! Under the defense of three people, he still hit the ball. This corner kick attack made Barcelona break out in a cold sweat. Barcelona needs to try to avoid such high-altitude balls!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some stupid caddy threw the ball into the court.

Valdes saw this great opportunity and immediately kicked off the ball. In just two passes, the ball was passed to the front court.

"damn it!"

Suk turned around and ran wildly.

But at this time the ball has crossed Real Madrid's half.

At the moment when Messi was about to receive the ball, Srna made a decisive tackle and was tackled directly to the ground with the ball.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

The referee ran to Srna and took out a yellow card.

Srna committed a tactical foul and received a card.

"Real Madrid is playing more and more passively, and the rhythm is controlled by Barcelona."

Mourinho also pursed his lips and kept thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, Xavi passed the ball to Iniesta. The guy made continuous passes, successfully got down, and stuffed the ball towards the center of the inverted triangle.

Messi pretended to catch the ball and suddenly missed it.

Everyone's attention was on Messi, causing Sanchez behind Messi to be ignored.

Sanchez did not waste this opportunity and made a precise push.

The ball hit the net.

31 minutes, Barcelona 2:0 Real Madrid.

With two goals behind, Real Madrid became even more passive.

Mourinho frowned, and he suddenly walked to the sidelines: "Suker! Lean towards the middle and help the midfielder pass the ball!"

Barcelona exerted too much pressure in the midfield.

For Real Madrid, they must rely on the midfield to relieve the pressure on the defense.

At the very least, Barcelona cannot be allowed to continue to attack like this.

Mourinho wants to play with both wings.

Therefore, excessive ball pressure was put on Kaka.

Every time Kaka holds the ball, he will face pressing pressure from 2-3 people, which requires someone to help Kaka share this part of the pressure.

And Su Ke is the best choice.

Suk grinned and cursed secretly in his mind.

But he still walked towards Kaka.

"Sorry! My question."

Kaka was a little frustrated.

He failed to withstand the pressure. If his delivery can stabilize, then Real Madrid can have the effect of flying on both wings.

But it turns out that Barcelona is playing with Kaka in mind.

"No need to apologize! You were targeted!"

Suk shook his head and comforted.

Guardiola found the focus and seized Kaka's ball release point.

Of course, Alonso can also hit the ball, but more of them are high-altitude balls. After all, he is still some distance from Suker and Bell.

The passing distance is too long, and there are more variables here.

Ground penetration must pass through Kaka, the passing hub.

Therefore, Guardiola seized Kaka as a passing hub. While restricting Kaka, he also made Barcelona's backcourt wary of long passes and ready to grab the first landing point at any time.

Real Madrid has no numerical advantage in the frontcourt.

Suker's several one-way breakthroughs were certainly threatening, but this single offensive mode was offset by Barcelona.

So the problem now is to help Kaka solve the ball problem.

Otherwise, their defense will continue to be under pressure.

"He actually stared at Kaka and kicked him!"

Mourinho turned to look at Guardiola. This bald man is really annoying.

Guardiola also exhaled slowly.

He felt relieved inside.

Finally, a game developed towards my expectations.

For Barcelona, ​​they must get an advantage in the first half. If they fail to get an advantage in the first half, it will be difficult for them to prevent the monster Suker from exploding in the second half.

That’s right!

All the arrangements in the first half were to resist the variables brought by Suker in the second half.

"Suker began to move closer to the center to help the midfielder solve the ball control problem. This is also Real Madrid's biggest problem at the moment. Barcelona cannot control the rhythm and must stabilize the game situation."

Gonzalez looked at the time; "There are still 10 minutes left before the end of the first half, and Real Madrid will wait until the halftime break."

Facts have proved that Mourinho's judgment was correct.

When Suker approached the center and began to help Kaka relieve the pressure, Real Madrid's defense pressure also relaxed a lot.

Previously, Barcelona had 2-3 people pressing Kaká. When Suker joined them, they had to consider Suker's problem.

Suker's constant ball control, passing and transfer helped Kaka relieve the pressure.

And Kaka is gradually getting out of the quagmire.

Unknowingly, ten minutes passed.

Halftime comes.

In the first half, Real Madrid trailed Barcelona 0:2!

In the Real Madrid locker room, Bell said excitedly: "We have no chance at all. The pass from the midfield cannot be passed to the wing, our advancement cannot be made, and we have no chance to sprint."

Bell was panicked.

Throughout the first half, he played extremely confused.

Real Madrid is at a disadvantage as a whole, and his chances are even less.

The most important thing is that they were two goals behind and he was anxious, but each of these guys performed too lax (bland).

"Why are you panicking?"

Srna patted Bell on the shoulder and said angrily: "Our focus was in the second half. They did set up a trap in the first half, but after adjustments in the second half, we will reverse it."

"Reversal? Under the current situation, wow"

Suk stuffed a banana into Bell's mouth.

"Shut up! You can't stop chattering. What's the point of panic? Didn't you fall behind?"

Suk glanced at Bell and immediately turned his head.

This guy looked like a monkey with a banana stuffed in his mouth. He almost couldn't hold it in.

Bell was irritated, but he still endured it.

At this time, Mourinho walked into the locker room.

"Let's get right to it."

Mourinho patted the tactical board and said: "In the first half, there were some problems with my judgment, which led to the falling behind. Our coaching staff is responsible for this."

"But then, it's time for us to fight back!"

"Barcelona has contained our passing points, we need to increase our organization points!"

Everyone pursed their lips.

Is this a replacement?

At this moment, Mourinho said calmly: "We will not make substitutions, but we will establish a backcourt organization point."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Su Ke also turned to look at Mourinho.

Mourinho looked at Srna and said: "Sirna, you will cooperate with Alonso and take charge of the organization work!"

Hearing this, Suk's head was in a trance.

Guard?

His eyes lit up.

In European football, there is a group of players who are strong but possess delicate skills that do not match their size.

They are tall, but their strong appearance hides careful thinking.

They rarely leave their own half, but they can tear apart the opponent's defense while talking and laughing...

This is the ‘point guard’.

The prevalence of point guards is inseparable from passing and controlling tactics.

The Spanish national team and Barcelona began to dominate football, and their unique passing and controlling style of play was recognized by the industry and admired by fans.

As a result, more and more teams began to imitate and learn Barcelona-style ball control, trying to find their own path to success through this approach.

For a team that focuses on passing and controlling, the ability to control the ball forward from its own half is a must.

This requires the team to have one or more players with excellent ball-playing abilities in the midfield and backcourt, and to launch attacks through the connection of these players-this is how the spring of point guards has arrived.

This position first became popular among center backs and ball-playing defenders.

From the initial pass and control of football, it has evolved into defensive counterattacks, which also play an important role.

The position of center back began to shift to full back again.

That includes both offensive and organizational responsibilities.

The most famous ones are undoubtedly the two full-backs of the Mad Dog Red Army led by Klopp.

Arnold and Robertson!

This type of full-back can not only stabilize the situation in the backcourt, but can also move forward at high speed along the wing like a sharp knife.

Previously, Srna and Marcelo have demonstrated their responsibilities as offensive full-backs many times.

From now on, they will make more use of passing to increase the organization points in the backcourt.

It can be said that once the effect is achieved, there will be no need for Su Ke and Kaka's pressure will dissipate.

Even without making substitutions, he counteracted Barcelona's pressure and launched a swift counterattack.

Suker looked at Mourinho.

They had practiced this tactic before, but he didn't expect that it would be in this place, and the effect might be surprisingly good.

However, Su Ke was also a little puzzled. Is Mourinho such a thoughtful person?

After all, in his impression, Mourinho is a bit rigid and always fights with his defensive counterattacks.

But that's okay!

As long as this tactic is kicked out.

They can quickly reverse the situation and even reverse the score.

The most important thing is that Su Ke does not need to retreat.

Halftime is over.

Players from both sides return to the court.

"After the first half of the game, Barcelona is currently leading by two goals, and Real Madrid has not made any substitution adjustments. Does Mourinho still intend to fight with the original lineup? Is this really effective?"

Under Gonzalez's words, Guardiola also looked at Real Madrid's lineup.

There was no substitution?

Guardiola believes that Real Madrid must at least waste one substitution in order to increase the ball points.

But Mourinho didn't do that!

Mourinho crossed his arms, feeling uncertain in his heart.

After this tactic was developed, it was rarely used. After all, Real Madrid had Alonso and Kaká, and the midfielder was not so easily suppressed.

Unexpectedly, Barcelona restricted Kaka in order to pressure Real Madrid's defense.

And without substitutions, this tactic can show results.

Of course, tactics are tactics, and Srna's performance is still needed.

The first step is to use the connection between Srna and Bell to open the attack on the right.

Let Barcelona focus their defense on the right.

When the opponent shifted their focus, Srna's 45-degree pass combined with Suker's forward penetration killed the ball in one blow.
