Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine Do You Have the Confidence to Suppress Lucio?

There was a dead silence on the special plane from Munich to Barcelona.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere became quite eerie.

The first leg ended in a 2-3 loss away from home, which, strictly speaking, is not a bad score.

Two away goals, after returning to home, Barcelona is fully capable of reversing.

But everyone is still worried, because the team's defensive problems are too serious.

Serious enough to make people very worried, can they really win Bayern Munich at home in the second round?

Members of the coaching staff such as Rijkaard and Ten Carter are also thinking about their own problems. They need to focus on thinking about the countermeasures in the second round, and at the same time find the weaknesses and loopholes of Bayern Munich.

You know, in the first round, Bayern midfielder Ballack was absent.

But in the second round, Ballack will definitely come back, which will be a considerable threat to Barcelona's midfield.

...

When the plane rose into the air and the flight was stable, Captain Puyol stood up from his seat and came to the middle of the cabin. He looked around at his teammates and gathered everyone's attention.

"Old rules, everyone said, summarize the first round, think about the second round." Puyol said loudly.

After a pause, Puyol said again: "I'll come first."

Still no one spoke, just listened quietly.

"In the first round, our back line should be responsible for this. We shouldn't put the problem on one person. Everyone has the responsibility. We are a whole and we have to shoulder it together. As the captain, I have the greatest responsibility."

At the critical moment, Puyol still has the responsibility of being the captain.

As soon as they said it, others in the back line, including Oleg, took the initiative to apologize and expressed their willingness to take responsibility.

Whether it was at halftime, in the locker room after the game, or until now, no one has ever blamed the first half of the goal, although everyone knows what the problem is, but there is no way, the team's personnel That's it.

Not to mention Oleg, even if Marcos is brought back to the back line, he will be able to defend Ma Kai?

Mexicans aren't necessarily that secure, are they?

Besides, when Marcos returns to the back line, who will play the midfielder?

Barcelona has tried many methods this season, and Gerrard has completely lost his confidence.

Thiago and Edmilson have not been able to recover from injury for a long time. Even if they do, how are they doing?

Barcelona can really say that this season, they have been seriously dragged down by the defense.

And if you want to explore in depth, it will definitely involve the power struggle of the management.

Roselle believes that it was Laporta who spent all his financial resources and even used bank loans to sign Sudong from Valencia, which caused Barcelona to not have enough financial resources to operate other players.

If you use the money to buy Su Dong to buy a striker and a midfielder, it is definitely more than enough.

Ballack, for example, was very close to Barcelona last summer.

And Laporta believes that the team's current predicament has a lot to do with Rosell, who is in charge of football affairs, because two Brazilian players, Motta and Edmilson, have both been out for a long time due to injury.

Another point is that the midfielder that Barcelona wanted to sign was to make up for the shortcomings of Davis. Roselle insisted on signing Deco, but it turned out that Deco was not Davis, but Marcos, who was introduced during the winter break. Cena is more able to play the role of Davis.

It's a pity that the Brazilian midfielder can't play in the Champions League.

It can be said that this is a very troublesome thing, and once a dispute arises, it will be an endless bad debt.

In the second half of last season, Barcelona's strong revival, the structure of the midfield iron triangle is very important, Davis is responsible for sweeping and pressing on a large scale, Xavi is responsible for organizing and passing the ball, and behind him has Cocu's excellent defensive ability. the high point.

According to the idea of ​​​​establishing the club at the beginning of the season, Edmilson is to make up for Cocu's position,

But since a serious injury has been suspended, Gerard is in no state, and no one in the team can replace Cocu's position, not even Davis' vacancy can be filled.

It is precisely because of the imbalance in the midfield that Barcelona can rely on its strong attacking power to be in a rut in the league. However, when it comes to the Champions League, especially in the knockout stage, when it encounters a strong opponent like Bayern Munich, the problem is immediately exposed.

Losing three goals in a row in the opening game seems to be accidental, but it is actually a necessity sooner or later.

...

"I think we should be more proactive in the second leg, like we did against Real Madrid."

After many people expressed their opinions, Su Dong also put forward his own ideas.

Since it is difficult to defend, then simply press out and attack the opponent.

When playing Real Madrid, Barcelona's most eye-catching tactic is to press the whole court.

But as soon as Su Dong's voice fell, someone immediately raised a different opinion.

"Real Madrid's defense is so poor, but Bayern Munich's defense is very good. I am afraid it is difficult for us to deal with Bayern with tactics against Real Madrid. On the contrary, it may be directly knocked down by the opponent's counterattack." Deco raised his concerns.

Many people also nodded, expressing their agreement with Deco's point of view.

"The key lies in ourselves. As long as everyone concentrates on the game, and after conceding the ball, they immediately engage in counter-attack, then Bayern Munich may play worse than Real Madrid, and their players' technical skills are not as good as Real Madrid."

Having said that, Su Dong added, "In the second half, or in other words, the whole game, we did not do well in one place, that is, we didn't dare to take the ball and pass the ball in the opponent's half, which is similar to We conceded the ball at the beginning, but think about it, if we dared to take the ball and pass the ball within the opponent's 30-meter area, can Bayern Munich stop us?"

Looking at the current players in Barcelona, ​​there are not many who have really played in the Champions League knockout.

Sudong and Deco are the only players among them who have played in the Champions League final.

Ronaldinho has played in the World Cup, but to a certain extent, the technical and tactical level of the World Cup is really not as good as the Champions League knockout, because the Champions League knockout has gathered the best football players in the world, and the technical and tactical level is even higher than that of the European Cup. high.

It is precisely because of inexperience that players start to be afraid of mistakes after conceding the ball in the opening game.

But sometimes, the more afraid of mistakes, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Barcelona has too many ineffective possession of the ball, which just shows this mentality of the players.

...

Rijkaard did not comment from the beginning to the end, and he and Ten Carter were listening and recording carefully.

No one knew what he was thinking.

The only certainty is that he listened carefully to the opinions of the players.

This is actually a good tradition in the Barcelona locker room. For example, when the captain is elected, it is basically universal suffrage by everyone, whoever likes it is elected, and there is not even a candidate.

However, when the team started training after returning to Barcelona, ​​Rijkaard consciously wanted to try the high pressing and pressing tactics proposed by Sudong.

Advertising, [ \mi\mi\reading\app \\ ] is really good, it's worth installing it, even Android and Apple phones support it!

This style of play has gained a lot against Real Madrid, but the problems are not small, the most important one is the excessive physical consumption.

When facing Real Madrid, the reason why they were able to achieve miraculous results was mainly because Real Madrid’s own defense was very bad, and they were not active in pressing and pressing. Especially the superstars in the frontcourt, the defense was useless.

But even so, Barcelona's full-court pressing and oppression still consumes a lot of money.

Bayern Munich is not Real Madrid. Adopting high-level pressing and pressing tactics against such a team will only consume more.

Even, whether it can last until the end of the game, this is a question.

...

No one knows what the coaching staff is thinking, but in La Liga over the weekend, Rijkaard made a large rotation, and several core players, including Sudong and Ronaldinho, did not play. .

Barcelona finally drew 1-1 away from deputy squad leader Numancia.

The team's defense is still unreliable, although this time Marcos Senna started and played the whole game.

Entering March, we ushered in the twenty-sixth round of La Liga in midweek.

Barcelona vs Espanyol.

Although it was a derby in the same city, Jerkaard still stayed strong in this game.

In the end, the two teams drew 0-0.

Ronaldinho and Sudong both played for 65 minutes, but neither did their best.

Everyone knows very well that Barcelona is now fully committed to next week's Champions League round of 16 second leg.

Barca have enough of a league lead to ensure the team is focused on the Champions League for now.

This weekend, the twenty-seventh round of La Liga.

Barcelona away to Osasuna.

Sudong came on as a substitute in the second half and scored for Barcelona in the 80th minute.

That is, Su Dong's goal, Barcelona beat Osasuna 1-0 away, and got three points.

After two consecutive draws, Barcelona finally won again.

But the final battle of the Champions League is imminent. Barcelona has performed poorly in the last three games. The defense is OK. They only conceded one goal in the three games, but the offense is not satisfactory. They only scored two goals in the three games.

After the game, the German media summed up four tactics to deal with Barcelona.

First, sacrificing a striker and disrupting Barcelona's defense; second, destroying the pass between Xavi and Deco, and destroying Barcelona's midfield organization; third, laying out an iron barrel in front of the penalty area, making Barcelona unable to attack Enter the big penalty area; fourth and most important, freeze Su Dong's performance.

The remarks of the German media have attracted a lot of attention. The set of play they summed up is indeed effective for Barcelona.

As early as after the Gamble Cup, AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti once said that if he meets Barcelona again, he will definitely win. Later, in La Liga, many teams have used this set. to deal with Barça.

To put it bluntly, it is to use the numerical advantage to contain Barcelona's midfield, and then counterattack to attack Barcelona's fragile defense.

But facing Bayern Munich, Barcelona's biggest problem is not defense.

but on offense.

The morning after Osasuna, after recovery training, Rijkaard and Tenkat left Sudong alone.

They only asked Su Dong one question.

"Facing Bayern, do you have the confidence to press Lucio?"
