Super Marshal

Habit is a terrible thing, it will change many things and many people subtly.

Chinatown got into a bad habit. They always didn't play well in the first half.

This is quite a paradox.

Some Spanish media have counted the number of reversals of the 20 La Liga teams this season. Chinatown is far ahead. If the league’s ranking is divided according to the first half and the second half, Chinatown in the first half is basically close to relegation. Chinatown in the second half can almost hit the championship.

Of course, not every game in Chinatown can be reversed successfully, and sometimes it will even directly evolve into a big defeat. For example, the home and away game against Barcelona is such a fiasco, but there are also good reversals, such as the away game against Real Madrid.

Some people praise Chinatown's strong integrity, the players are very united, and the willpower is tenacious, so that they can play a reversal one after another; but there are also people who blame Chinatown's coaching staff for failing to solve this problem. The long-standing problem of the team.

Pochettino also felt very helpless about this. Even though he had done enough preparations and arranged all the details before the game, his players would still make various mistakes on the court, which eventually led to goals.

Everyone knows that this is not a good thing, and they all know that it must be changed, but it can't be changed anyway.

Just like someone ridiculed, only after losing the ball, Chinatown really enters the game.

As the head coach, Pochettino’s favorite scene is like Paris Saint-Germain coached by Alpine. He has a strong overall strength and obvious advantages. Whether it is in Ligue 1, in the French Cup, or in the Europa League, he can easily get overwhelmed. The advantage of **** makes the opponent feel the pressure of terror all the time, and finally win.

This is the strength and temperament that a championship team should have.

But like China Town, it is very depressing. It can be said that it has strength, but it always does not play well in the first half. It can be said that it has no strength, but it can always reverse in the second half. If it is only one or two games, then it can be said to be luck. Can there be so many games in a row, or is it luck?

Chinatown itself has summed up a lot of experience. Many media reporters and fans have also helped Chinatown find the crux of the problem. Some people think that the team is too young and lacks experience. Others think it is caused by the lack of strength of the team. , More people think that there is a problem with the team's training methods.

But what is truly recognized by everyone is basically that it is a psychological factor and a habit.

Habit is a terrible thing, especially when a team habitually loses the first half, it is even more desperate, because it is impossible to lose the first half every second half. The ball was chased back, even reversed.

Especially when the opponent is Barcelona, ​​especially when the opponent has scored two goals.

...

Learning from the experience of playing Real Madrid, Pochettino's strategy in this game is to counterattack defensively, but the method has borrowed from the strategies of Arsenal and Manchester City when they played Barcelona, ​​and he did not blindly retreat and defend.

Both Hazard and Aubameyang wing players actively retreated to the midfield to help defend the wing, leaving Pellet in front.

Guardiola is equally cautious, still adopting a four-three-three formation, but made some adjustments. Fabregas, Xavi and Busquets joined forces, and Iniesta was the left winger, which obviously strengthened the ball. Xinhào.

It was difficult for Chinatown to hold the ball throughout the first half. Barcelona naturally controlled the game, but on the defensive end, Chinatown organized very well, but it was a little messy. Barcelona scored two goals. In the last ten minutes of the first half, Chinatown once again stabilized its position.

But two goals behind, it will be another disastrous defeat.

"In the second half, they changed sides to fight again. Barcelona continued to control the situation on the court and launched a fierce attack on Chinatown."

"Messi took the ball on the right, led to the center, and passed the penalty area."

"Ibrahimović grabbed the first place. The Swedish center is a big man and the advantage is very obvious."

"Iniesta followed and hit the door directly."

"De Gea flew to save the ball."

"But the ball still didn't fly far and landed outside the penalty area."

"Busquets took the ball, reorganized it, handed it to Fabregas, and then crossed it to Harvey."

"Harvey took the ball and passed into the penalty area..."

"Messi, it's dangerous..."

"Beep..."

"The referee's whistle sounded. Hazard tripped Messi from behind when he returned to defense. The referee showed him a yellow card. This is also a penalty awarded to Chinatown."

"Hazard performed very well when he played Real Madrid before. He was hailed as Messi II, but his performance in this game was rather sluggish. This has something to do with Chinatown’s failure to get the ball. He is a player who needs the ball."

"Messi took the penalty personally."

"De Gea was ready in front of the door and kept huodong his body."

"Messi... shoots!"

"No, my goodness!"

"De Gea saved Messi's penalty!"

"It's amazing."

"De Gea's body is very flexible. After saving a penalty kick, he quickly jumped from the ground and grabbed the ball before Ibrahimovic who made a supplementary shot."

"The Spanish goalkeeper showed a very high level. The penalty kick was quick and accurate."

"Look at De Gea, get up from the ground, quickly shout towards the front, directly with a big foot."

"The ball fell to the right, Barcelona's defense was quickly returning to defense, but..."

"Aubameyang, very fast, grabbed Puyol and pushed the ball forward."

"Okay, there is a chance, solo!"

"The ball is in!!!"

"!!!"

"Fifty-third minute, fifty-third minute, Aubameyang used his lightning speed to tear open Barcelona's defense line, received a goal kick from De Gea, and scored a single goal!"

"Valdes attacked decisively, but Aubameyang's shot was very calm and decisive."

"This shot came very timely, it was a worthy away goal."

"We were extremely excited when we saw Chinatown, and Pochettino jumped up from the sidelines."

"At the critical moment, Chinatown's tenacious will once again helped them to save the situation and keep hope."

"Two to one, Chinatown is temporarily behind, but this score allows them to see the light again. After all, a valuable away goal can change a lot."

"Pochettino decisively made substitution adjustments. Ilya Ramendi is going to be substituted and replaced Pellet."

"This is a xinhào who actively strengthens midfield defense."

"Pochettino still has to defend and counterattack."

I don’t know when, sitting in the office of Gao Han and watching the game in Chinatown together has become a habit of the Paris Saint-Germain coaching staff, and they have all become accustomed to it.

And this team is really worth studying, especially when they see Pochettino and his team with their own eyes, gradually progressing and maturing step by step, the feeling is really different.

"Barcelona’s biggest problem now lies in the two sides. Puyol’s left wing is very problematic. Just now Aubameyang simply used his speed to abruptly eat Puyol and Barcelona’s defenses. Alves on the right. The pressure is very strong, and the hidden dangers are not small, so Pochettino should grab both sides to fight."

"There are nearly forty minutes left in the game and there is still to be played. The situation has turned a bit."

"No! Do you blame it? Why doesn't this team have to get the second half to exert its strength?"

When everyone was talking about it, they suddenly heard Sergio Garcia's suspicious question. Everyone looked at each other and showed a helpless wry smile, including Gao Han.

Can this question be dáàn?

I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Many people try to analyze from various aspects, and some even say that it is psychological factors, but Gao Han thinks that they may have them. It is the result of a combination of various factors. Of course, psychological factors are gradually becoming the main cause.

If you don’t lose the ball, you will not be able to play. Of course, the disadvantages are obvious, but there are also benefits. For example, in this game, two goals were lost in the first half, but the team played in the second half as usual, and the mentality was not much nervous or anxious. ,why?

Get used to it.

There are more reversals, and the psychological quality improves, and it becomes normal to experience such scenes again.

As for changing the situation where the team did not play well in the first half, Gao Han felt that this season is probably out of the question, but he could prepare well for the summer training camp. He decided to let Dr. Steve Pitts help in the past.

This British psychologist is already familiar with this aspect.

After taking Pellet, Chinatown basically has two lines left. The four defenders lined up in front of the penalty area, and the six midfielders stood in a wavy position. Among them, Aubameyang Both ends of Hazard and Hazard are more forward, like two sharp knives, pointing directly to Barcelona's weakness.

"Pochettino's defense in the center is very tight, layered and integrated, making it difficult for Barcelona to break through."

"The next step is patience."

Barcelona quickly organized a military offensive. Guardiola took Puyol in his first substitution, replaced Pedro, returned Iniestara to the center, and let Pedro Put pressure on the left.

This is definitely a frantic attack formation, and only teams like Barcelona with absolute control of the ball can dare to do it~www.readwn.com~ But Chinatown is still defending strictly, and the whole defensive formation is integrated. Did not leave the slightest space and gaps for Barcelona's offense, which made Barcelona feel extremely depressed.

Pochettino quickly made a second substitution, replacing Aubameyang with Cork. This is another substitution to strengthen the side defense, the purpose is to block Barcelona's left offensive and protect Cava Safety on Hal's side.

With the consumption of game time, the stalemate between the two sides has become even more intense.

Barcelona wanted to score another goal to establish an advantage, but Chinatown did not relax in the last breath. The game played extremely tragically, but both sides were surrounded by dangers, but they could not really break the deadlock.

In the latter part of the game, Alves almost pressed on, using himself as a winger.

But in the 83rd minute, after Chinatown intercepted the ball in the backcourt, it quickly passed to the right.

Carvajal sent forward without hesitation and passed to the foot of Cork on the right.

Cork passed the ball laterally to Herrera, and Herrera passed diagonally across the center line and landed right in front of Rakitic.

The Croatian sprinted quickly in the counterattack, and after catching up with the ball, under the interference of Xavi, he took the ball all the way into the 30-meter area of ​​Barcelona, ​​but was also forced to pass the ball to the left.

Hazard took the ball on the left side of the penalty area, Alves chased all the way, returned to the penalty area, stuck in position, Harvey also returned to the penalty area for the first time to help defend Alves.

They all know that Hazard's one-on-one ability is too strong.

The Belgian drove the ball to two Barcelona players, but did not choose to go it alone, but suddenly passed the ball back.

Rakitic was at the front of the penalty area, facing Hazard's return pass, and without thinking about it, he directly raised his right foot, which was a curve ball lob.
