Chapter 269 The wind direction has changed... (Fourth update, please give me a monthly vote!)

The game started again after Barcelona kicked off.

Naples tasted the sweetness in the goal, so they continued their tactics of playing high. Such tactics are not very ornamental in comparison, and in the eyes of many people, they are not very technical.

But it's useful if you can't stand it!

If not, how could Napoli equalize the score?

So Napoli continues to play like this, and they don’t care whether this will make a final lose its viewing ability. A hundred times the viewing ability cannot match a champion. The more important thing, the fool knows how to choose. Napoli has no obligation to sacrifice its championship honor to please the audience, especially those neutral fans. They are not Barcelona, ​​and they cannot play well and win the championship.

But this makes Barcelona feel a little uncomfortable.

Their offense is promoted layer by layer through ground organization, and the ball is controlled. Unless it is surrounded, such an offense is still quite time-consuming. The number of attacks per unit time is definitely not as good as the long passes of Naples...

Napoli’s midfielder does not need to organize an offense now, so they focus all their energy on defense. Barcelona’s ground advancement? That’s exactly what they want!

Be careful of defending, tangle with Barcelona in the midfield, fight and retreat, and then retreat when you retreat to the 30-meter area, but you will not retreat. Instead, you will not defend. No matter how Barcelona passes, the most important thing is not to lose your position, rather than grab the opponent's ball...

After doing this, Barcelona's offense encountered trouble - their characteristic is to use transmission and running to create space, tear the opponent's originally tight defense line opens the gap, and then hit it fatal!

But if the opponent doesn’t care how you turn your feet, there will be no gaps in the defense line?

In addition, Barcelona, ​​who was tied with the score, was a little furious and wanted to score a goal quickly and take the lead again. But things went against their expectations. The more they wanted to lead, the harder it would be to lead.

Before they knew it, their hearts became impatient...

As for Napoli, they just tied the score, but they still tied the score with such a beautiful goal. What's more, they tied the powerful cosmic team Barcelona. The morale was high and the fighting spirit was high. Even if the opponent's offense was very strong and the defense pressure was very high, they immediately felt that it was nothing big. Everyone was holding their energy in their hearts to defeat Barcelona.

This is the situation of football matches, one goes up and the other goes down. If your momentum is weak, the opponent's momentum will rise and suppress you, especially in the Champions League finals. So you can lose, but you must not lose the situation and lose the momentum!

※ ※ ※

Naples is originally a team that is crazy. With the momentum coming out, it will be difficult to suppress it. So now it seems that their offense is a little more threatening than Barcelona...

"Naples passes a long way backcourt... They now know this method, but who told them to have Chen Yingxiong? The success rate of the heroes in the frontcourt is very high. I just made a rough count. He grabbed the first point in all five headers, and his teammates controlled four of the second landing points, and finally formed two shots. Another time, although there was no shot, it had already created a huge threat to Barcelona..."

"Napoli's tactics are nothing strange, but they are very targeted... not good-looking, but very useful. I am now worried about Barcelona... I definitely don't want to play as easy as they think in this final. The Catalan media conducted a survey and asked Barcelona fans who most wanted to meet in the final, but most people chose Manchester United. At that time, the Catalan media interpreted that Barcelona fans disliked Naples and did not want them to enter the final. The hero said that Barcelona fans were afraid of Barcelona fans.

Napoli... It seems that I prefer to believe in the hero version now, because from the game, Napoli really has a bit of a bad match for Barcelona! Think about it again, Napoli did not have a disadvantage when they met Barcelona last season. At Camp Nou, they lost to Barcelona 2:3, but they scored two away goals. They scored the goal from the beginning of the home court. If Chen Yingxiong was not sent off for no reason, Barcelona might not even be able to enter the semi-finals... I think Barcelona may not be able to win this championship now!"

Now most commentators are starting to worry about Barcelona, ​​and the wind direction changes between one ball. You should know that these people were still praising Barcelona's mighty power before, as if no one in the world can stop them from winning the championship.

Unexpectedly, after Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, everyone turned to the other side. This world is indeed realistic...

But it is true. Naples' performance has made many people see hope. In Naples, Italy, many fans who cannot go to watch the game on site are watching the game at home, bars, and pizza shops. When they saw Chen Yingxiong score the goal, all their previous worries were gone.

For a moment, a sense of pride suddenly arose in many people's hearts - what is Barcelona? We can win too!

※ ※ ※

Ten minutes after Chen Yingxiong scored, although Barcelona beat Naples most of the time, Naples' counterattack was sharper and more threatening.

This time, even Guardiola was unable to sit in the coaching seat. Since Chen Yingxiong equalized the score, he got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines. He has not returned yet.

Frowning frowned, thinking about how to solve the situation on the field.

Judging from the scene, Barcelona's ball possession rate is still superior, but what's the use of ball possession rate at this time? It's thunder but not raining!

What he wants is not the ball possession rate, but the accuracy rate. No matter how many shots he shoots, it is useless not to score.

However, the fight in Naples is very simple, which makes me feel a headache.

Alves and Abidal dare not go up and attack now, because Pique and Mascherano alone cannot deal with Chen Yingxiong, while Casano and Alshaven are very fast when counterattacking. If the full-back rushes up at this time, it is very likely that they will not be able to come back.

But this situation cannot continue, how can we solve it?

To be honest, he hadn't thought of it yet...

What if I can't think of it?

Then drag it until overtime!

Guardiola made a decision in his heart. Anyway, he was very confident about Barcelona's physical strength.

Many people say that Barcelona dominates the world because they have 20 or 30 years of youth training, have consistent football traditions, outstanding stars, outstanding coaches, and strength... but they all ignore a very inconspicuous but perhaps very important reason. That is Barcelona's physical strength.

Barcelona's tactics require very high running skills. They always have to keep running, and then pass the football out quickly to the next position. Even if the teammates do not pass the ball to themselves, they are not allowed to use the off-ball running to break the gap and provide opportunities for teammates.

When defending, you will often see two or three of them rushing up to catch up with the ball-holding players. Such pressing is very physically consuming.

Barcelona's football comparison is based on running, whether it is offense or defense, so if their physical fitness is not good, the team will have collapsed long ago and it is impossible for them to win six championships in a season.

It is precisely because he is very confident in his team's physical fitness that Guardiola decided that if he can't think of a solution to Chen Yingxiong and Napoli for the time being, he will wait and see. He believes that Napoli's style of playing is also very physically consuming, because in the defensive counterattack, the players in Napoli always have to keep sprinting from back to front and from front to back, which will consume more physical strength than Barcelona.

In overtime, as the physical exhaustion intensifies, the few remaining physical energy will not be able to support them to continue doing such a piston-style running. By then, what else can Naples, who are weak in attacking? Isn’t they the most relied on now to sharp attacks? Naples without attacks are like tigers without sharp teeth, just a slightly larger cat, maybe not as scary as the cats...

After making up his mind, Guardiola realized that he had been standing outside for a long time, so he turned around and walked back to the coach's seat.

Assistant coach Bilanova asked him: "What?"

"Nothing."

“Our situation is not very good…”

"Yes, so you tell them, let them pay attention to their defense."

Bilanova was quite surprised by Guardiola's words. He originally thought that Guardiola would come up with a solution to the poor offense after thinking for a long time, but he thought that what he thought of was indeed strengthening the defense... Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? What we need now is not not to lose the ball, but to score goals! The faster the goal, the faster the initiative of the game will return to us...

Seeing the doubt on Biranova's face, Guardiola turned his head to him: "You go do this first, and I'll tell you why you do this when you come back."

Biranova took the order and used his loud voice to communicate Guardiola's instructions on the sidelines to make the whole team pay attention to defense and not let Napoli counterattack take advantage of it.

After he came back, he couldn't wait to find Guardiola: "Tell me, Pep."

Guardiola tilted his head and looked at the court while explaining to his assistant coach. "That's right. If we want to attack, Alves and Abidal have to press on. Even Pique and Buzques have to put enough pressure on Naples to collapse their defense... But now their counterattack is very sharp. If we press on rashly, we are afraid that we will already concede the ball before we scored. Because Chen Yingxiong... His bridgehead is very obvious. He is like a nail, nailing it to our most critical place, which makes us very uncomfortable."

Biranova nodded. Guardiola was right, and Chen Yingxiong was indeed very important.

"But we also have an advantage, that is, our physical fitness is better than them, because most of the time we are in the ball-handling party, we guide them, they can only run away from our back and forth, and their physical fitness is consumed faster than us. As long as we can drag the game into overtime, I think we have a very high chance to win this game!"
