Chapter 905: Barcelona's 7 inch

On the evening of April 20th, the Mestanha Stadium in Valencia, Spain.

Accompanied by Sergio Garcia, Gao Han sat secretly in the stands of the Copa del Rey final.

Tonight's final is staged a battle of the century, Barcelona vs. Real Madrid.

These two teams are also the top two in the La Liga standings this season. Barcelona has just been drawn by Real Madrid one-to-one at the Bernabéu Stadium, so many people are looking forward to the Copa del Rey final tonight. To see if Mourinho's Real Madrid can still maintain the performance of last weekend.

The opponents are basically the main players.

Real Madrid’s starting goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Kolarov, Bruno Alves, Albiol and Abeloa, and the midfielder’s three midfielders are Moutinho and Felipe. Melo and Las Diarra, Sneijder advances, the two forwards in the front are Diego Costa and Higuain.

Barcelona is also doing the same with the main players. The goalkeeper is Valdes, the defense is Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Alves, the single midfielder is Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi are in the center, and the frontcourt Pedro is on the left, Ibrahimović occupies the middle and Messi plays on the right.

Both teams are playing with the strongest lineups, which can be described as star-studded and star-studded.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Century Derby last weekend, this game was full of gunpowder from the beginning. At the beginning of the game, Puyol fouled Diego Costa, and then Alves blocked Sneijder. , Let the two teams into a dispute, and finally the two sides were separated by the referee before giving up.

After the restart, Barcelona smoothly controlled the ball and rhythm on the field, while Real Madrid defended the entire line.

And the first threatening offensive in this game came from Barcelona, ​​Ibrahimovic returned, Xavi then inserted a long-range shot from the front of the penalty area, slightly wide.

Afterwards, Barcelona continued to use their advantage of passing and controlling the ball, frequently launching offensives against the hinterland of Real Madrid, threatening the Galacticos goal again and again, but they never got the chance to score.

Real Madrid’s defensive moves are relatively large. Many players, including Diego Costa and Bruno Alves, have frequent small moves. Aveloa has a dangerous move to step on Pedro’s calf. Once it caused conflicts between the two sides, and even the scene was a little out of control.

Sitting in the stands, Gao Han can clearly see that after twenty minutes of the match, the two teams obviously played a little impetuously. Whether it is Barcelona, ​​which has absolute control over the ball, or Real Madrid seem to have lost. calm.

"This is a plan to hit Mourinho!" Gao Han shook his head as he watched.

Sergio García is always paying close attention to the situation on the field and the real-time data on the tablet. "Real Madrid, under the guidance of Mourinho, are both confrontations and fouls, especially after taking three After the waist kick, Barcelona's advantage is passing control and stalking them, it is tantamount to being dragged into the quagmire."

Gao Han nodded, Mourinho's strategy is that I can't control the ball with you, so I make you unable to control the ball skillfully.

Such a game is a test for both sides on the field, but it is also a test for the fans and spectators.

Of course, the intensity and tension are beyond doubt.

In any case, this is a century derby, but also a Copa del Rey final.

"What is Barcelona's possession rate now?" Gao Han asked concerned.

"It has always been above 75%, and sometimes even 80%." Sergio Garcia was a little stunned, the contrast is really too dazzling.

To say that there is a difference in strength between the two teams, everyone can see it, but to say that there is such a big difference, no one will believe it.

The only reasonable statement is that this was intentional by Mourinho.

"Real Madrid has always relied on long passes to launch a counterattack since the opening, but the effect is not particularly obvious. Guardiola has clearly written about this point, so Mourinho's set of ideas did not work, or even succeeded once. ."

"Yes, the long pass is mainly Sneijder and Moutinho, the success rate is very low." Sergio Garcia said.

"On the defensive end, on the contrary, Mourinho did not retreat across the board as he did last weekend, but kept the three lines tightly positioned and pressed forward across the board."

"Three midfielders." Gao Han replied, "The midfielder has three midfielders. Mourinho has full confidence in the defense and interception of the midfielder, so he presses forward. Look at it. They have seven players. Full-time defense, coupled with a highly mobile Sneijder, the offensive end basically depends on Diego Costa and Higuain in the frontcourt."

It’s not difficult to guess Mourinho’s intentions. If even Sneijder retreats back to the defense after playing three midfielders, then Real Madrid will not need to play in this game and surrender directly. Give up.

He adopts a three-half midfielder style, the purpose is to win.

"See, Sneijder adjusted his position."

Following Alpine’s gesture, Sergio Garcia looked over, but found that, as Alpine said, in a counterattack, Sneijder ran from the center to the left and received Moutinho’s pass. After completing a match with the Portuguese on the left, he advanced to the frontcourt, completed another beautiful match with Diego Costa, and then passed to the Brazilian forward.

But Diego Costa hit the goal from a small angle at the end, and failed to hit a positive angle, and the ball passed in front of the goal.

However, this time the offense is really impressive.

"After Alves pressed on the offense, Barcelona's defense on the right side was a problem. In the case of a single midfielder, the right side was indeed a little weak in the face of the opponent's counterattack."

Having said that, Gao Han turned his head to look at Mourinho in front of the coaching bench. The Portuguese madman wore a neat suit and looked full of momentum on the sidelines. He felt a lot of victory in his hands. It made people feel very confident when he saw it.

"I have to admit that Mourinho knows Barcelona very well. Guardiola's team has a very short period of time from offensive to defensive. There is a big gap between the midfield and the defense, especially on the right side. In the case of Alves stepping in to attack."

In addition to targeted counterattacks, Mourinho's defensive strategy is also very effective.

Barcelona seems to have control of the ball, but in fact, the fast, skilful, and smooth passing and receiving coordination that they are best at did not appear, replaced by the frequent whistle of the referee.

In any case, taunting Mourinho is destructive football, but his style of play really works.

Professional football is hailed as a war without gunpowder. Since it is a war, both sides participating in the war have only one purpose, which is to use all means to kill their opponents and achieve victory.

For Real Madrid, fighting Barcelona is a dead end. Only Mourinho's path has hope and chance of winning.

What's more, the tactics on the football field will always be more than just possession and attack, defense is also an art.

After Sneijder adjusted his position, Real Madrid finally launched the most threatening offensive in the 41st minute.

It was the Dutch midfielder who took the ball from the left in the counterattack. Diego Costa flew the header to the back. Higuain then inserted a shot, but hit the right post and popped the bottom line.

Failing to seize the opportunity to break Barcelona's goal, Higuain looked extremely frustrated.

In the first half, the two sides shook hands with zero to zero.

Such intense competition also made Gao Han breathe out after watching it, and it was quite unpleasant in his heart.

how to say?

Mourinho pinched Barcelona's seven inches, Guardiola's team has never been able to show their due level.

"Lack of assault means, the transition of the side attack depends on Alves. This is one of the biggest problems that Barcelona is facing now. If this problem is not solved well, Barcelona will be choking in the second half."

Having said that, Gao Han thought for a while, "Of course, Mourinho's team has made mistakes. After all, mistakes must be inevitable in the forty to fifty minutes of the game, especially when the physical consumption is getting worse and worse. , As long as they are caught by Barcelona once, they are dead."

In fact, the game was as expected by Alpine.

The difference with the first half is that after Barcelona regrouped in the second half, the advantage on the scene became more obvious.

Real Madrid had to start to retreat across the board under the condition of constant physical exhaustion. This also represents Mourinho's game strategy, no matter if you first ensure that you don't lose the ball, then slowly compete with your opponents.

But it has to be said that under Mourinho’s tuning, Real Madrid’s defense is almost monolithic. Every player on the team is very brave and tenacious, especially the three midfielders, and they have built a line in front of the defense. barrier.

The only serious error came from Las Diarra’s sticky ball, but Barcelona counterattacked after stealing the ball, and almost scored, but Casillas made a decisive contribution at the critical moment and took Ibrahimo. A close-range must goal by Vicki blocked, Barcelona missed the best scoring opportunity of the game.

Mourinho also made adjustments quickly. Central defender Garret replaced Las Diarra, pushing Albiol to midfield, and Garret partnered with Bruno Alves as a central defender.

"Barcelona's possession rate reached 80%, my goodness!" Sergio Garcia couldn't believe his eyes.

It looks almost like Barcelona is playing Real Madrid.

Gao Han also felt particularly amazed, especially for the Real Madrid trained by Mourinho.

"To be honest, the competition has so far been tested no longer on skills and tactics, but on fighting spirit, willpower and desire to win."

What makes Gao Han even more emotional is that Barcelona's shooting efficiency in this game is too low. Ibrahimović, Messi and Pedro's frontcourt tridents all performed sluggishly~www.readwn.com~ This can't be said to be a problem with Barcelona and the players, it can only be said that Mourinho's tactics have completely restrained them.

What's interesting is that neither side of the game made substitutions. After the 90 minutes of the game, the two sides still shook hands with zero to zero, which I have to say is a rare thing.

But it also indirectly reflects the familiarity and understanding of each other.

After entering overtime, Real Madrid is still very passive, forced to defend, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Although Barcelona has the right to control the ball, but with the consumption of physical energy, they also frequently made mistakes.

And when the game lasted 104 minutes, Real Madrid finally caught an opportunity. Sneijder took the ball when he counterattacked, and after a wall-to-wall coordination with Kolarov on the left, he attracted the attention of the defense. The ball was assigned to Kolarov, who made a cross from the kicker, which was extremely accurate.

Diego Costa jumped in from the back row, rushed ahead of Puyol and Pique, jumped for the top from close range and scored with a header!

This goal completely detonated the Mestanha Stadium and won the first championship trophy for Real Madrid after a long absence!

The moment Alpine scored at Diego Costa, he couldn't help standing up and applauding vigorously like the Real Madrid fans, but his heart was very mixed.

"Real Madrid is worthy of this goal and worthy of this victory."

After a pause, Gao Han continued: "I just hope that Mourinho will become more confident after winning the Copa del Rey. The more confident they are, the better it will be for us. If it is still like this game, that……"

Before Gao Han finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh.

Mourinho is definitely a respectable opponent.
