Hero of the Penalty Area

Not only the Barcelona players felt that the Liverpool player’s behavior was a little strange, but even the fans on both sides of the stands and the audience in front of the TV felt this way.

Generally speaking, this is not the case in professional leagues, but most of them occur in low-level leagues and low-level teams, or in national team games.

In the Champions League...everyone hasn't seen this scene for a long time.

Today's professional players are all stars, they are somewhat temperamental and good-looking. This approach is actually losing their face, because no one thinks that they are still a rookie and need to be led by the captain in a circle to boost morale...

So why did Liverpool suddenly do this?

No one knows the reason.

In the eyes of everyone's doubts, the Liverpool players dispersed and returned to their positions. Chen Yingxiong and Sanchez are standing in the middle circle, the football has been set, just waiting for them to kick-off.

Chen Yingxiong stepped on the football, then turned and turned his head. He saw that the teammates behind him were also looking at him.

Then he grinned at everyone and gave a thumbs up.

The teammates looked at him like this, followed by thumbs up.

For a time, eleven thumbs were raised on the court.

This scene naturally fell in the eyes of Barcelona players and others.

They still don't understand what Liverpool is smoking today.

From their point of view, Liverpool is weird everywhere today.

But they don't have time to think about why this is, and what kind of weird method it is. Because the referee has blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Chen Yingxiong knocked the football out gently. Sanchez followed and passed the football to Gotze behind him.

Then Chen Yingxiong rushed forward in a straight line, while Sanchez ran diagonally to the side.

Liverpool's offensive curtain opened.

※※※

Liverpool's offensive after the start of the game will be very fierce. The Barcelona players know this very well, because coach Guardiola has repeatedly told them.

So when Liverpool started offensively towards their goal, they were not surprised. Although this offensive is particularly fierce. They didn't take it to heart.

The opening attack against Liverpool. Barcelona's response is not to shrink back and defend like other teams.

First of all, in terms of Barcelona's team temperament, they are completely unacceptable to defend so firmly in front of their rivals. Because this is so shameless...

Secondly, even if you let them stick to it, they won't be able to stick to it. Because they have never practiced this tactic at all.

Barcelona's genes are offensive, not defensive. Although their defense is good, it does not mean that they are good at defense, especially good at defending.

Let Barcelona choose to defend firmly when facing Liverpool's fierce offensive. This is undoubtedly very unwise.

Give up what I do best, but choose what I do not do best. Head coaches of other teams may make this kind of mistake, but Guardiola will not.

His strategy for Barcelona is to use possession to counter Liverpool's offense.

Many people hear possession of the ball. The first thing that comes to mind is offense. In fact, possession of the ball is also a means of defense.

When you always firmly control the football at your own feet (--House. The fastest update.), the opponent can't get the ball at all, how can you launch an attack?

So as long as you can keep possession of the ball for most of the game, you can keep your defense away from danger.

This is Barcelona's defense.

In fact, this is not just a strategy against Liverpool. At any time, in the face of any opponent, Barcelona is so let go.

You can hardly see them shrink within their own 30-meter area, and then let the opposing players pass back and forth outside.

They always try to control the ball from the first minute of the game. From the frontcourt to the midfield, and then to the backcourt. They have great control.

At the same time, because of such a strong ball control ability, Barcelona will not shrink the defense. Therefore they need a large defensive area. A goalkeeper with a large active area and a wide range of control. Reina, who had better goal line skills, was abandoned by Barcelona. Instead, he chose Valdes, who was not very skilled and played not very stable.

Although Valdes often makes inexplicable mistakes, he has to be said that he is the most suitable goalkeeper for Barcelona. Because in many cases, Valdez's role is not only a goalkeeper, but also a scavenger.

This is Barcelona's most used defensive strategy.

They naturally used this set to deal with Liverpool.

In the eyes of Guardiola included, this is enough to deal with Liverpool's indiscriminate bombing.

Because as long as football has a chance to fall to Barcelona, ​​Liverpool's offensive will be unsustainable. The initiative will fall in Barcelona's hands.

Barcelona will not be like other teams, waiting for Liverpool to score a goal or automatically release the offensive when the time is up.

They want to take back possession of the ball, and then go back to the main goal, and then completely bury Liverpool!

Guardiola is going to be surprised. No team has ever done this kind of thing when facing Liverpool before, and that is going against the trend!

So Liverpool would never have thought that Barcelona would be able to organize an attack under their fierce offensive...

When the time comes, they will be caught off guard. As long as one advances the goal, the initiative of the game will fall into the hands of Barcelona. Then what about Liverpool even if they are playing at home? Haven't we been led by the nose?

※※※

Liverpool's first offensive was launched by the opportunity of the kick-off.

But it did not pose any threat to Barcelona's goal.

It looks like an ordinary offense.

Barcelona kicked off the goal, and Valdes did not directly kick his feet, but passed to the front central defender Pique.

Pikwe passed the football layer by layer.

In fact, Barcelona's goal kick is also a big kick, but this and that game. Guardiola specifically urged Valdes not to use his big foot. Try to let the football roll against the turf so that they can always keep the football under their feet.

What if the football is allowed to fly around in the air?

The tallest people in Barcelona are Bouzquez and Pique. The goalkeeper Valdes is only 1.83 meters.

Liverpool have an advantage in the top ball. Everyone knows that their defensive line is tall, but the turning speed is slow. This is a good opportunity for Barcelona to give full play to the characteristics of the small quick spirit.

As long as the football can be underfoot... Barcelona is not afraid of anyone!

Barcelona began to advance layer by layer.

But they encountered huge resistance in the midfield.

Liverpool did not retreat directly to the front of the penalty area as usual, but launched a crazy siege in the midfield.

In order not to give Barcelona any excuses, Liverpool did not even need the "defense" in the defensive counterattack. So when Barcelona finally loses the game, I believe they will have no more excuses.

For Barcelona, ​​this is also unexpected.

Liverpool's approach made them somewhat unexpected.

Because of lack of adequate psychological preparation. When Bootsques got the ball in the backcourt and wanted to pass forward, he was defended by Chen Yingxiong and Getze.

Even Chen Yingxiong, who has never been very defensive, ran back to assist the defense, which shows Liverpool's determination in this game.

Bootsques was not well prepared. Under the defense of Chen Yingxiong and Getze, his pass made a mistake.

He originally intended to pass to Alaba in front of him, but he didn't expect the final pass to deviate from the goal.

The football flew straight out of the baseline and gave Liverpool a foul ball in the frontcourt.

The ball has returned to Liverpool's feet.

The out-of-bounds ball was thrown and Liverpool reorganized the attack.

Of course. This attack eventually formed a shot, but it did not pose any threat to Valdes' goal.

Everything looks like any normal game.

Except for that frontcourt press...

Of course, this may just be an accident.

The football was quickly passed to Butzquez's feet.

This time. Butzquez passed the ball right away, and the football passed to Iniesta who came back to meet him.

Almost at the same time. Two Liverpool players appeared beside Iniesta.

Of course, with Iniesta's outstanding footwork, get rid of these two Liverpool players. It's not that difficult.

But after he got rid of it, he realized that it was not that simple-he soon fell into the defense of Liverpool players.

This time there was only one person, but it was the most difficult one... Yinle.

Inle's body is strong and his style is tough. It is really suitable to deal with Barcelona's technical players!

Once you get him entangled, it is not easy to get rid of...

While Yinle entangled Iniesta, the two Liverpool players quickly ran back to plug the gap left by De Jong.

In this way, Liverpool's defense has no loopholes because of this pressing.

At the same time they can continue to maintain pressure on Barcelona's offense.

Iniesta was forced by Inle, although he could still control the ball, but it was difficult for him to send the football out.

Messi was originally in the frontcourt, and seeing this behind, he had to retrace his teammates.

With Messi's retracement, other Barcelona players also had to follow.

Because Barcelona is very demanding on the whole, their passing requires players to keep a distance of fifteen meters or even shorter between players, so as to facilitate their ground passes. Passing from this distance is the most accurate, and it is also the easiest to tear the opponent's line of defense.

Messi is the core of the team and he retreats, so with him as the center, other people must keep their distance from Messi, they must follow the retreat.

In this way, Barcelona is far from Liverpool's goal...

This is actually the true purpose of Liverpool's offensive instead of defensive.

Compress Barcelona in a very narrow area, keep them away from your goal, and then as long as you steal the ball, you can launch an offensive in the closest place to Barcelona's goal.

If Barcelona were to force an attack, the formation would be pulled apart, and there would be a lot of empty space, which just fits the appetite of Liverpool, which is going to play against Barcelona. ! ~!
