Chapter 76 Isn’t this too handsome? Barcelona's corner kick did not go directly into the penalty area. Walk on the ground. Tactical corner kick. Iniesta gave it to Xavi, Xavi gave it to Messi. Messi dribbled horizontally at the top of the penalty area. "too exaggerated!" "Unstoppable dribbling and amazing touch accuracy." "Messi disrupted Roma's defense again!" "It feels like Barcelona is going to score a goal in the next second!"
Roma players and coaching staff were not panicked at all: Barcelona's set-piece tactics have not changed much over the years, and they still use the old Dream Team II model of "grabbing space" and can recite it by heart. No room to spare? Messi was a little helpless. He took a few steps sideways and passed the ball to Xavi with his heel. Xavi couldn't continue to drag the ball out, and if the set piece took too long, it would waste the offensive cycle. Snapped! A perfect lob pass. The football fell lightly into the penalty area. Pique couldn't jump and was pinned down by the big men on Roma's back line. Comparing aerial balls? Roma has too many talented players! "Beautiful! Morata's header clears the ball!" "Tahsidis grabbed the second spot!" "Rome's counterattack begins now!" Roma's new midfielder doesn't dare to make a direct long pass. Barcelona players quickly launched a "counterattack on the spot". No retracement. Don't return to defense. Trying to regain the ball in the frontcourt, failing to do so would slow down Roma's counterattack. Comment area. - [I understand the essential difference between Arsenal's passing and cutting and Barcelona's passing and controlling: after Arsenal loses the ball, the whole team quickly runs back and defends; after Barcelona loses the ball, they start to counter-attack on the spot.] - [Barcelona's counter-attack net is not as fast as before, Roma has a chance. ] - [The tendency after the ball possession is changed distinguishes the major tactical schools. ] - [What are you talking about? Rome is about to be beaten to death. ] VIP box. Cruyff slapped the armrest of his chair in displeasure. "Outdated! Barcelona's set-piece tactics are older than your son!" Club official Robert nodded repeatedly: "We are looking for a new set-piece assistant coach for Vilanova's coaching staff."
Barcelona has given up on Vilanova who is suffering from illness. The search for a new coach is ongoing. "Roma defended well from set pieces, thanks to Luis Enrique." On the green field. The Red Wolves are in the critical "defense to offense" stage. Castan finally understood why Gao Qi said: Don’t worry about where Busquets is, just counterattack after stealing the ball! The moment Roma took possession of the ball. Barcelona began to build an "anti-stealing net". Busquets' position determines the location of the "closing net". Whether he collects the ball inside or outside the net can determine which stage Barcelona will directly enter in the next round of "defense to offense". Rome feared this. The Roma coaching staff also emphasized this issue. However, Barcelona's athletic ability in the midfield and frontcourt is not as good as before, and the speed of building the "counter-attack net" is slow. Roma's counterattack cannot be slow. Once it slows down, it will give Busquets the opportunity to "close the net". "Don't dawdle." "Hurry up and make a long pass to counterattack." "Oh, why did Rome have to pass that message?" "No chance." "Busquets shows up!" "He seemed to have guessed the ball's path in advance and intercepted it easily." Tahsidis really wanted to slap himself as he had seen Gao Qi in the frontcourt raising his hand to ask for the ball. But because he was worried about losing the ball, he didn't dare to pass it directly. Barcelona's counter-attack netted. He hesitated for a moment, but could only find an angle where the route was not blocked and passed the ball to Florenzi. This tendency is too obvious. Busquets appeared in time in the "counter-attack net" and successfully "closed the net". He looks very old, his actual age is 24. A look of confidence.
It was as if he was the master on the green field. 'Roma's counterattack has been broken up by me, Sergio Busquets,' 'I have everything under control.' 'The next step is to simplify! ' Roma's defense felt the intimidation of the orthodox La Masia No. 4 position! Ha Baibu. The most inconspicuous Busquets not only undertakes the task of connecting the midfield and backcourt, he is also the thread that tightens the "counter-grabbing net" and is the decision-maker of Barcelona's offense and defense transition stage. Busquets is in no rush. Stop the ball. Equal space. Then he pretended to pass the ball with his instep, preparing to 'trick' De Rossi who was rushing towards him fiercely. cheat! cheat? Busquets' ankle trembled, and the continuous false tendencies did not cause any disturbance to the Roma vice-captain. He couldn't help but look horrified: 'Is this guy playing football without a brain?' De Rossi made a close tackle. Snapped. Busquets dodged the ball elegantly, but the ball was poked away. "The truth is simple!" "De Rossi breaks all laws with one force!" "Florenzi rushes forward and dribbles the ball away!" "Send a long counterattack pass directly to Gao Qi!" "coming!" "It's a pity that Barcelona has already arranged a high defensive line this time, and Pique has gone back." The football flew towards the center circle. There are only three people left in the camera: Gao Qi, Mascherano and Pique! More than 10,000 Roma fans who followed the army cheered and looked surprised. The Roma coaching staff in the command area couldn't help but clench their fists. Big pivot! Gao Qi is the fulcrum of counterattack! As long as Gao Qi gets the ball and fights off the defense, Roma's counterattack chain will be 80% complete! Even 90%! The landing point.
Barcelona's high defense line reflects "wisdom" everywhere. After observing the surrounding environment, Pique did not jump to compete for the header, nor did he rush to confront. He waited for the moment Gao Qi unloaded the ball before moving forward to steal the ball. Seize the opportunity when your opponent is at his most vulnerable position and has the most difficulty adjusting his center of gravity and body balance to steal the ball! 'I've seen it all. ' Snapped! Gao Qi saw Morata in the process of starting the ball in advance, but there was no way he could pass the ball to him because the distance was too far. He used his head to gently tap the falling football in the air. The football rolled back. The moment the player and the ball landed, they just happened to widen the distance between themselves and the Barcelona central defender. Pique quickly approached. Kick. Gao Qi pulled the ball and completed the turn. Kick up. Snapped! The football passed in front of Pique like a sharp blade, cutting diagonally across the center circle line! The Camp Nou was filled with exclamations. From a bird's-eye view, Gao Qi's diagonal pass gave people a strong visual impact. Barcelona's high defense was torn to pieces. Enrique and Ivan were very excited. Lula looked nervous. In the stands on all sides, the joys and sorrows of tens of thousands of fans were reversed at this moment. Rome's counterattack begins now. Pique's expression was dull. Why is this kid's passing speed so terrible? I might as well have gone for the header and competed with him physically. VIP box. Cruyff's eyes lit up: "Roma No. 23's pass has the flavor of Zico!" "The ball is released quickly and the route is difficult for defensive players to judge." "Why don't you buy him back?" Robert shook his head. He had the confidence to refute the lifelong president of Barcelona: "We have evaluated that Gao's footwork skills do not meet the requirements of the Barcelona system." "Barcelona's target for the center forward position is Liverpool's Suarez!" "Including Neymar, the super talent of the Brazilian Serie A. After we complete the signings, he will replace Sanchez on the left!"
"Barcelona's future forward combination is: Neymar, Suarez, Messi!" The commentator's tone was excited. "empty!" "Barcelona's backcourt is empty!" "Morata!" "Who says big forwards run slowly?" Morata took the ball and made a sudden move. Secondary acceleration. The 189-cm tall body could instantly burst out to a terrifying speed of km/h. suddenly. A short red and blue figure, as if riding a wind-fire wheel, attacked from the side. "Mascherano!" "Caught up!" "Intercept and kill!" "Who says short people can't play center back?" Mascherano reacts quickly. He is 174cm tall and was originally one of the top three defensive midfielders in the world. After joining Barcelona, he was transformed into a central defender by Guardiola. Thirty meters area. They both slowed down at the same time. Morata staggered and was forced to move to the outside. Mascherano pushed the ground with his left foot and tackled with his right foot! Morata accelerated again, dribbled away the ball, and tried to force his way inside! "Empty!" "Hey?" An incredible scene was born. The moment Mascherano's right foot landed, he pushed the ground again. The upper body twisted in the air. The whole person "threw" towards Morata! With the left foot in the air, he shovels towards the football. Chain shovel! The Red Wolf's counterattack chain was broken.
Roma fans felt despair. Enrique squatted down and crushed the mineral water bottle. Ivan touched his bald head in confusion: Even if Barcelona has many hidden dangers at the moment, it will not be so easy for Roma to launch a complete counterattack. "Don't lose heart Morata, the European steals king is standing in front of you." "Many famous football stars have suffered from Mascherano's fatal tackles!" Morata lost control of the ball. The counterattack rhythm was slowed down. Most of the players of Barcelona and Roma ran at full speed. One side tries to defend its position, while the other side seeks to continue the chain of counterattack. After Mascherano used his special skill, he was unable to get up immediately. It's ok. Two teammates wearing red and blue jerseys rushed over "Hey?" "Totti!" suddenly. A tall and majestic figure forced his way through the red and blue 'positioning' encirclement and dribbled away the football! The away stands erupted in cheers! Roma No. 10! Wolf King! The high load after the sprint made Totti feel like his heart was about to jump out. He tried to catch his breath. Gao Qi looked towards the penalty area and passed the ball decisively! "Gao Qi's purpose of standing there was to suppress Pique and Valdes and create space for his teammates who were running in from behind." "Totti should pass the ball horizontally to Florenzi at the far end" Barcelona penalty area. Gao Qi was fighting one against two, no, it was one against three. Valdes, Busquets and Pique formed a pincer attack on him. There's no chance. Back to do. The offensive idea conveyed by Totti was consistent with Gao Qi's: pass the ball back to De Rossi to get a chance for a long shot. In an instant. A blurry ponytail figure appeared in Gao Qi's field of vision.
Barcelona No. 10. Ronaldinho. The action of returning the ball was abruptly interrupted by the image that emerged in his mind! Busquets' expression was calm, but his brain was working fast. Anticipation. Adjust in small steps. Position yourself and kick. 'I have everything under control.' 'The next step is to simplify.' The audience couldn't help but hold their breath. The Roma coaching staff was deeply worried. Barcelona assistant coach Lula looks relaxed. On the green field, the young player in black who was about to receive the ball was surrounded by several red and blue figures, and he didn't even have a chance to make a comeback! next moment! Cognition is broken! An unexpected scene happened! "Wow!" "Pick the ball?" Gao Qi lightly lifted the ball and avoided Busquets' kick. Turn around on the spot! Stretch your body! Kick in the air! Busquets' pupils dilated. Pique almost lost his concentration: he watched the football disappear from his sight, and then the young Chinese player in front of him twisted his body and made an extremely exaggerated side hook move! Like kicking yourself? Damn, so handsome. Bah! A loud explosion that resounded through the sky exploded in the ears of the Barcelona center back! Gao Qi completed a volley shot almost through Pique! The football was like a bullet fired from a gun, blowing the Barcelona net high into the air! Valdés stood there in a daze, dumbfounded. 0:1! ! ! The Nou Camp was suddenly filled with exclamations like a landslide and tsunami. Many people didn’t react: What just happened? (End of this chapter)
