The score of 2-1 made Guardiola finally unable to sit still in the Barcelona coaching bench.
Guardiola saw the changes in the scene from work to the second half. It was just that he did not make changes immediately because he wanted to see whether this was Tottenham's true level or whether they relied on tactical changes.
, achieved a confrontation with Barcelona in a short period of time - for a long time, Barcelona has been accustomed to their opponents being besieged by them
He had no power to fight back and relied on a sneak attack to steal the ball. Guardiola had not seen such a posture for a long time. Regarding such a change, Guardiola also believed that it might only be temporary.
In special circumstances, he wanted to see what the situation was like before talking about it, but in this case, Tottenham's continuous attacks had already broken through Barcelona's door.
If the first goal conceded was caused by Guardiola's own carelessness, then the second goal conceded was equivalent to telling Guardiola that Tottenham has enough ability to start an offensive and defensive battle with Barcelona on the ground. Their strength
, no worse than Barcelona.
This surprised Guardiola, and he finally couldn't sit still: Barcelona has lost to Premier League teams not once or twice in the past two years, but this time it was such a situation, which made Guardiola feel a little bit in his heart.
Worried. A team of this strength is too much of a threat to Barcelona, and he must make some adjustments.
Soon, Barcelona made substitutions.
"Barcelona replaced Henry and replaced Ibrahimovic...Barcelona is still Barcelona. After falling behind, they chose to change the forward and launch an attack in the frontcourt to restore their disadvantage."
For Barcelona, it can be said that they have tried their best in the defense of the backcourt. No matter how many substitutions they make, it is difficult to ensure that the defensive level continues to improve. And their offensive power, in Guardiola's view, is still there
There is room for improvement. Although the cooperation between Ibrahimovic and Messi has not been good, under the current situation, who else can they use instead of Ibrahimovic?
The reason why Henry was replaced is because Henry is indeed too old now. He still has great ambitions, is willing to run, and is conscious. However, after all, he is no longer the gun king he was back then. Age has taken away his breakthrough.
His ability greatly reduces his threat in the frontcourt.
Replacing him is the best choice: Ibrahimovic, who has a stronger body, can withstand the defense. Once the defense is blocked by Ibrahimovic, the space in the midfield will expand. Because the Heat
Spurs' formation was advanced, and Yaya Toure and Gustavo swept the midfield well. Iniesta had almost no performance in this game. However, if Ibrahimovic can hold on to the backcourt,
As for the defense, maybe Iniesta can be activated, which is also a supplementary role.
"Tottenham's defense in the backcourt is very good. Their clear organization and layer-by-layer defense prevent Messi from having too many breakthrough opportunities. And if Ibrahimovic is used as an arrow figure to support the back line,
Then, behind Ibrahimovic, Messi and Iniesta's offensive line can be spread out, which is Barcelona's best choice..." The Spanish commentator stopped for a moment because of the second half of the sentence.
, he really didn’t know what to say.
This is the best option for Barcelona. Unfortunately, Barcelona has never made good use of this good option.
Guardiola's choice is correct in theory - but his theory cannot stand the test in practice.
In the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic soon received the ball: In the midfield, Iniesta made a through ball, passed the midfielder, and directly sent it to Ibrahimovic's feet. Ibrahimovic turned his back to the goal.
He withstood the attack of Palmieri and Thiago Silva behind him and controlled the ball at his feet. At this time, Messi beside him quickened his pace and ran forward quickly, trying to get away from him.
Gustavo, and Ibrahimovic make a coordinated move forward.
In Messi's view, as long as Ibrahimovic withstands the defense at this time, and then gives the ball to Messi's feet, the task has been completed. Messi will naturally handle the rest. What a pity.
Yes, Ibrahimovic has never been a person who likes to handle the ball like this. After he got the ball, he tried it twice from left to right and seemed unable to hold it, and immediately took a step forward with the ball.
Palmieri followed immediately, but Ibrahimovic's footwork clearly exceeded his expectations. Ibrahimovic first pushed the ball forward with his right foot, then turned his body to the right, and then pulled the ball with his left foot.
, his body then turned around, and with two consecutive extremely skillful turns, he got rid of Palmieri's entanglement and completed his turn away from the penalty area.
But at this time, Palmieri had already let go of him, and Gustavo had already finished moving closer. Messi was locked behind them by the two of them. Piszczek was still looking at Messi. The entanglement between the three of them,
Messi has no chance. In this situation, Messi's running has stopped. In his opinion, it is impossible for him to catch the ball.
But Ibrahimovic's pass came at exactly this moment. Messi had no room to catch the ball, so he still ran two steps, but Gustavo intercepted the ball and handed it to him with a kick.
Yaya Toure.
This kind of interception made Messi quite frustrated: He originally thought that Ibrahimovic was here to help him, but in Ibrahimovic's eyes, he seemed to be just a forward grabbing points.
"Why don't you run?" Ibrahimovic asked Messi directly on the court. Messi turned his head and looked at Ibrahimovic in disbelief. After a while, he turned his head away. His silence made Ibrahimovic
Ibrahimovic's eyes widened. In his opinion, this was a kind of silent contempt, which made Ibrahimovic very unhappy.
In the eyes of both of them, they are the core of the offense, and the other party's job should be to help them attack. This has also become their conflict. Barcelona's ball control tactics are very good.
tactics, but his requirements for each player are also very high.
.In Li Bin’s memory, Barcelona’s future is declining because they can’t find a suitable successor. Although they say that La Masia is full of talents, it has always been difficult to mass-produce good players. Even for Barcelona,
After Harvey went downhill, he became no longer strong.
The ball control tactic has its big weakness. It requires a lot of cooperation, excellent skills, and considerable team awareness to reach the peak. It can be said to be extremely difficult to achieve. In Li Bin's view, only fixed
It is difficult to say that tactics that can be used by a group of talents can advance football. In my memory, after Guardiola went to Bayern, the ball control tactics he played proved this, and now his substitutions are the same.
: Not everyone can use his tactics.
Ibrahimovic's skills are indeed very good, but he cannot integrate into Barcelona's tactics. He is a bit self-centered in playing football, and handles some actions too casually, rather than paying attention to tactical cooperation. This characteristic makes him
As the core player of a team, he can produce good results, but as a player who plays tricks on others, his performance is quite poor.
Soon, he wasted another opportunity. When Xavi got the ball, he directly chose a long pass from the midfield. Ibrahimovic was in the frontcourt, leaning on Palmieri behind him, and received the ball.
After that, he gave the ball to Iniesta behind him. Iniesta immediately chose to pass the ball through the gap. At this time, as long as Ibrahimovic completed the anti-offside, he could get a
A chance for a one-on-one shot.
It is a pity that Ibrahimovic chose to pull back at this time - he wanted Iniesta to complete the back row and score the goal. When he thought, he had already suppressed the defense, then, he would go
It is no longer his task to fight with the opponent's defense. Iniesta can try to break through and attack the goal on his own.
However, Iniesta knew very well that his shooting skills were not very good, and he still hoped that Ibrahimovic would rely on his physical advantage to take the ball and shoot. The two people's ideas were inconsistent, making this excellent pass suddenly become a goal.
After passing the ball to the goalkeeper, Neuer directly grabbed the ball in his hands and took possession of the ball effortlessly.
Guardiola thought that this would allow him to attack more violently, but he was wrong. This would only make the attack sluggish and lose the characteristics of Barcelona!
Then, he immediately ran forward two steps quickly, threw the ball with a strong hand, and threw the ball directly across the half court!
Di Maria on the right road received his pass, he raised his left foot, took the ball out of the air, and then immediately kicked the ball to Toure in the center with the outside instep. Toure directly kicked the ball
It was passed to Suarez in front, and Suarez transferred the ball back to the right.
Di Maria quickly stepped in, and after receiving the ball, he directly used his left foot on the right road to kick the ball into the penalty area!
The ball looked more or less like a shot. However, the landing point of the ball was near the far post. Cavani had already rushed there, and Di Maria's sudden attack made Puyol
There was a slight error in his judgment. Cavani immediately seized the opportunity, shook his head and blasted the ball towards the goal!
Valdes fought hard, lifted the ball up into the sky, and let the ball fly over the crossbar. This attack did not result in a goal, but it still made Barcelona sweat.
"After the substitution, Barcelona's attack seems to have not improved much. The fierce battle between the two sides is still fierce. It seems that they still don't know who will win in the end..."
Not only did Barcelona's substitution not have a good effect in reversing the situation, but it also further expanded Tottenham's advantage. Li Bin, standing on the sidelines, also sighed at this time: Maybe pressing the football and controlling the ball
It's impossible to tell the winner, but the gap in experience puts Li Bin at least one position ahead of Guardiola.
Although saying this is a bit boastful - but compared to Guardiola, who has been the coach for two years, Li Bin has an advantage, and the coaching advantage is still the advantage that determines victory or defeat.
In this game, Tottenham were suppressed by Barcelona in the first half. In the second half, it became a mutual attack and defense. However, at the last moment, Guardiola destroyed the Great Wall. He replaced Ibrahimovic in order to regain the situation.
, but this caused his own team to be in chaos.
In the battle situation, Tottenham is already at an advantage, and Li Bin is very lucky that the referee did not come out to cause trouble: But think about it, there is no need to make trouble in the first round of a two-round game. In this case, Li Bin is not prepared.
Now that he has given the referees a chance to perform, the only thing left for him to do is to expand his lead and decide the outcome in one game. Then when the next round comes, even if the referee wants to do something evil, they will have no chance.
It's been nearly eighty minutes, and on Tottenham's side, substitutions have to be made. Li Bin has already asked Hoddlestone to prepare for the warm-up. He wants to adjust the formation to a three-back midfielder to hold on to this 2-
With a score of 1, at the same time, relying on long passes, the opponent continued to create threats during the final time when the opponent was exhausted.
Since Guardiola made your own mistakes, don't blame me for being rude to you!
