After the first round of La Liga, Barcelona tied for the bottom of the league with 0 points-1 goal difference.

So in the second round of the league held on September 10, it became extremely important to this new Barcelona team.

After all, for La Liga giants like Barcelona, ​​the summer transfer expenses are so large that if the results cannot be seen soon, the club will face great pressure.

Barcelona is a membership club.

In terms of expenditure, clubs often appear generous, but if the team's performance cannot be effective, the club will also be under great pressure.

In the second round of the league, Barcelona's opponent was weak Osasuna, and the club's board of directors even gave Qiao Wan a strict order - it must win!

In the second round of the league, Qiao Wanxian knew that Barcelona's top leaders are now facing great public opinion and internal pressure, so it is necessary to have a refreshing victory.

Although there are great problems with the team's running-in at present, especially the coexistence of midfielders Pirlo and Xavi, which is a major problem that Qiao Wanxian needs to solve.

Pirlo is an Italian. He has played football in Italy since he was a child and is deeply influenced by Italian football. Moreover, whether it is AC Milan or the Italian national team, Pirlo is the initiator of the team's offense. That is to say, when Pirlo gets the ball, it is the moment for the team to attack.

For teams that focus on defensive counterattacks, the point of launching a counterattack is very important.

Obviously, Pirlo is such a character.

In other words, after Pirlo gets the ball, he has to observe the situation on the court as fast as possible. Then make a decision and organize the team's offense.

But Harvey is completely different.

In the past few years, Barcelona's midfield metronome is Deco. Generally speaking, the team's offensive initiator is Deco. Not only that, Barcelona is a team that mainly controls the ball and attacks the position.

Xavi's football is not the first-time forward style like Pirlo. His first thought after getting the ball is often to control the situation, first sort out the team's scenes, and then launch an attack.

Overall, Harvey is slower.

In Guardiola's "Dream 2", Xavi is the team's midfield metronome. He can control and sort out the overall formation of the team, but often the sharp changes in the team's offensive are initiated by Iniesta, or Messi's super personal ability seeking breakthroughs.

But Pirlo is a ball-type player, and his passing skills are superb. However, without Iniesta's agility and lack of breakthrough ability, he is not a key figure who can seek rhythm changes.

The "contradiction" between Pirlo and Xavi is shown in training. When Pirlo takes the ball and seeks a quick attack, Xavi tries to find the team's balance after getting the ball, so that offensive players often cannot distinguish the direction.

Although Osasuna is not strong, Qiao Wanxian is a person who pursues perfection and he is unwilling to show off his semi-finished or unfinished tactics.

So in this game, he did not intend to let Xavi and Pirlo appear at the same time.

Visiting El Sardar Stadium, Jowan arranged a half-main lineup. Goalkeeper Buffon and defenses were Ram, Puyol, Lucio, and Ashley Cole. The back midfielder Van Bomer was behind, and in front of him were the Espanyol partners of Xavi and Iniesta.

The forward trident is No. 7 Ronaldo, No. 9 Ibrahimovic and No. 11 Jiuli.

Although it is a half-main lineup and the team's running-in is very problematic, the premiere of the league made the players feel excited. Especially in the first round of the league, the players also understand how important this key victory is.

Now, the team is in the stage of lineup adjustment and running-in. In order not to let the team's problems be hidden, Qiao Wanxian has not used the secret weapon No. 1.

In fact, Qiao Wanxian knew that even if there was a situation on the field, temporary use was enough to turn the situation around.

When he led the team to participate in a formal competition for the first time, Barcelona's strong midfield control ability even Qiao Wanxian had to sigh.

Espanyol is the kingly commander of ball control!

When he was at Chelsea, Qiao Wanxian also focused on building the team into a ball-control team and recruited a large number of technical players. However, in Barcelona, ​​Qiao Wanxian truly understood that when it comes to ball-control, the Englishman really can't do it!

Xavi and Iniesta, coupled with Van Bomer's drag, Barcelona firmly grasped the ball possession of the game, and the scene was completely under Barcelona's control.

Qiao Wanxian was very satisfied, but such football was not in line with Klopp's opinion. He frowned and said, "The team has too few long passes, we need to seek more changes. Players are too careful to play, they should be bolder and have more depth of passes."

Qiao Wanxian was in the style of the top leader and did not rush to express his opinion. Roy Keane said: "No need? The team has now completely controlled the situation on the court. Although they have not fully understood the opponent's defense line, as long as they play patiently, they can gradually erode the opponent's defense line and then score a goal."

Klopp asked back: "If you can kill yourself in one blow, why do you need to waste your energy by spending ten or eight moves?"

Roy Keane's words stopped, and his face flashed with embarrassment. Qiao Wanxian immediately made a haha: "Who said that killing him with one move? Showing a few more gorgeous offensives will make the fans happy to see it. It will also have a strong intimidation to the opponent and can achieve the effect of showing off. Why not do it?"

Klopp knew that Joe Wanxian was giving Roy Keane the way down the steps, and smiled, and then said: "Ibrahimovic is not a traditional center forward who stands and grabs the point. He needs to touch the ball and find the feeling of the ball, so he can see that he often retreats and gets the ball and participates in the team's organization."

"The center's retreat is of course not a bad thing. This can drive the opponent's defense line formation and create opportunities for the winger to cut in. Jiuli and Ronaldo are both fast and have strong assault abilities, especially Ronaldo. His explosive power is super strong. Once he is given a deep space, few people in the world today can stop him."

Klopp said it well, and Qiao Wanxian nodded.

Messi's instant start is very fast, and an instant burst within 3-5 meters can instantly kill any defensive player to form a breakthrough. However, because of his relatively tall figure, Ronaldo's pace frequency is not as fast as Messi. However, the start-up sprint of 10-15 meters can penetrate the carefully designed defense line of any team in the world.

Although Jiuli has a similar figure to Messi, his pace frequency is obviously not as good as Messi, and his instant explosive power is not enough, which is somewhat similar to Ronaldo's type characteristics.

Seeing that his statement was approved by Qiao Wanxian, Klopp said: "C Ronaldo and Jiuli are both attacking players. They are different from Ibrahimovic. They do not like to participate in the team's organization. They prefer to seek unprecedented forwards and launch an offensive against the goal. So we see center Ibrahimovic frequently retreating, while Ronaldo and Jiuli frequently intervene. This is a situation that is contrary to the positional attack."

In traditional positional offense, the center is usually standing in a position to grab points, and the two sides participate in the team's organization and planning offensives. Now Barcelona is center Ibrahimovic retreating, and the two sides frequently step forwards, which is really a strange scene.

It is not difficult to understand why, even though Barcelona has a high possession rate in the ball for more than 20 minutes of the game, they often shoot from a long shot.

In terms of tactical theory, Italians are unparalleled in the world, while Germans are also among the best. Klopp's tactical theory does surpass all the assistants Qiao Wanxian has experienced.

After listening to Klopp's analysis, Qiao Wanxian even came up with the idea of ​​an Italian assistant.

Klopp continued to talk: "Xavi and Iniesta...How to say it, this may be a common feature of the Spaniards. They play a little bit small, and they are more seeking small-scale cooperation. Of course, this will be very exciting once they cooperate, but the requirements for the players' technical requirements and the tacit understanding of the team are too high. It is not easy to successfully break through the defense line."

"Of course, I'm not saying that Xavi and Iniesta are not excellent enough, but I think the team's midfield needs players with a more generous style and can send more balls behind the scenes with a large depth. Although such a pass error rate will increase, you must know that once it succeeds, it can be fatal!"

Roy Keane said: "Look, Iniesta often sends the ball behind him!"

Klopp shook his head: "Yes, Xavi and Iniesta both have the ability to pass the ball behind him, but this... Maybe it was determined by the Spanish genes. The ball behind him was too careful. Ronaldo and Messi were different. The explosive power in a small range is not his strength. The volume should be larger in advance, don't be afraid of mistakes. The passing success rate is in the face of an absolute goal opportunity, it is really worthless!"

"Xavi and Iniesta have been playing football like this since they were young. It is too difficult to change the style of the game. In your opinion, what kind of tactical adjustments should we make?" Qiao Wanxian asked with narrowed eyes.

Klopp said solemnly: "If you change to Barack or Pirlo, the Germans and Italian football are relatively open and close, and they are typical opportunists. Such passes are often more suitable for players like Ronaldo. Xavi and Iniesta are more able to cooperate with Messi, who has a delicate style of playing."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Wanxian's eyes lit up!

Pirlo and Ronaldo, Xavi and Messi... Yes, that's it!

Klopp's comment made Qiao Wanxian suddenly come up with the difficulties in solving Barcelona's current lineup integration problem.

Just as Klopp was talking and expressing his opinion, Barcelona, ​​which had continued pressure on Osasuna, finally scored a goal on the court.

As Roy Keane said, even if Barcelona's current tactical style of play has such problems, as long as they have the advantage of ball possession and pose a continuous threat to the opponent's defense, it will be a matter of time before they can score.

However, Qiao Wanxian disagreed. Will you definitely score if you continue to control the ball and continue to siege?

The goal against Osasuna was really too weak.
Chapter completed!
