Chapter 382 Deadlock

Barcelona has made sufficient preparations for this game!

In Guardiola's team, almost every player has a defensive task, even Messi!

Starting from striker Villa, as soon as Barcelona loses possession of the ball, they will immediately start pressing on the spot!

Messi and Pedroca dominate the positions of the two ribs, Xavi and Iniesta behind them are always close to the Atletico Madrid players who may receive the ball, and behind them there is Mascherano!

And Barcelona's two full-backs have simply become two midfielders, they are on both sides of Xavi and Iniesta!

Barcelona formed three dense encirclements in the frontcourt! The goal is to stop Atletico Madrid's forward pass.

In fact, Barcelona's defense has always been doing this, and the only difference today is that they have worked harder than other games!

However, after Atletico Madrid experienced the rush of the game at the beginning of the game, Navas' high resistance helped Atletico Madrid to keep the goal, and Atletico Madrid at home is gradually awakening.

Barcelona's attack was slowly pushed out of the danger zone by Atletico Madrid, during which time Kanter's role became apparent.

Kanter is not a tall player who does not seem to be too strong, but his running ability is very strong. In front of the back line, Kanter's presence has well protected the back line!

Barcelona gradually lost their offensive advantage like the opening stage.

And of course Navas didn't have the bright eyes of the opening stage-perhaps this is a bad thing for the media who want to see Navas perform, but this is great for Atletico Madrid.

If a team always sees the goalkeeper wins, this shows that the team's defense has a big problem!

Barcelona are still in control of the ball, but they can only pass it outside the penalty area.

Atletico Madrid held its ground.

Atletico Madrid fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief.

This also includes the chairman of Atletico Madrid Cerezo.

Barcelona's offensive in the opening phase was very fierce, which made Cerezo wonder if the team could withstand the opponent's offensive. However, Navas' brilliant performance, while trying to keep the goal intact, also made Cerezo leave a deep impression.

"Navas..." Cerezo pondered the Costa Rican name. He is considered a football player, but he was sure that he had never heard of Costa Rica's ability to make He can think of a football player by name!

This is actually normal. Costa Rica is currently ranked 73rd in the world, while Spain is ranked first.

Will the Chinese table tennis team pay attention to a table tennis team from a certain country at the bottom of the world rankings?

The answer is obviously impossible.

"His performance is really good!" Although the name Cerezo hadn't heard much, it did not prevent him from admiring Navas.

Anyway, this player now belongs to Atletico Madrid.

"I don't know where Gao Bo recruited this player..." Gilmarin shook his head from the side.

Gao Bo seems to have a database in his mind. What kind of players the team needs, he will be able to find a strong player right away-and it is very cheap.

Cerezo smiled. After handing over the transfer right to Gao Bo, he really didn't know how effective it was now.

If we maintain the rhythm of buying low and selling high... I am afraid Atletico Madrid will become the No.

But Cerezo immediately became sober.

Atletico Madrid is a team that wants to move to a higher level, and it must not be greedy for small gains in transfer fees.

If Atletico Madrid becomes a big team like Real Madrid, and its annual commercial income is among the best in Europe, the transfer fee can only be a small amount of money.

However, to reach the level of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid may have a long way to go.

........

Guardiola is very sorry.

Without scoring a goal while Atletico Madrid is not firmly established, the next game will not be so easy.

Barcelona's offense was frustrated, and now the game is slowly reaching a deadlock.

Barcelona can't even make a backward pass in the front of Atletico Madrid's penalty zone. Atletico Madrid players tried hard to push the battle line to the midfield. While staying away from their own dangerous area, they also let the two sides fight in the midfield!

In the 27th minute of the game, Harvey retreated to the back line to get the ball.

Barcelona’s two centre-backs drew towards the sides, the two midfielders Mascherano and Iniesta responded one by one, while the full-backs pressed on, Messi returned to the center circle and now Pedro went With pressure in the middle, Villa pulled to the right to neutral.

This is a standard Barcelona-style offensive formation.

However, Atletico Madrid's response is obviously also very targeted!

Aguero tried to interfere with Xavi, and the two forwards got stuck in the ribs, which blocked Xavi's passing line to the two sides. In the midfield, Atletico Madrid players almost focused on every Barcelona one-on-one. Players, as long as Harvey passes the ball, they will immediately post it.

Messi is a key figure, because his ability to dribble forward allows Barcelona to get rid of the current situation of being completely stared at and finding a pass.

Messi recovered all the way to his own half, then turned around after receiving the ball.

Modric posted it before Messi caught the ball.

Only after Messi made a fake move, he received a pass from Harvey before Modric could react.

When Messi turns around, it will take a price to stop Messi.

Modric wanted to give Messi a shot, even if he fouled.

Messi staggered, but instead of falling to the ground, he continued to dribble forward.

Modric did at least have some effect. Although he did not keep Messi, he succeeded in slowing down Messi and then gave Kanter a chance!

Kanter grabbed the ball and succeeded in stealing the ball while Messi's center of gravity was run a little unstable by Modric!

After Kanter grabbed the ball, he was immediately surrounded by Barcelona players.

Kanter passed the ball to the other side, at the feet of Raul Garcia!

But before Raúl Garcia had the ball, Mascherano made a fierce tackle and tackled the ball!

The ball changed hands again!

This is basically the rhythm of the game in the second half of the first half.

The fight between the players of the two sides in the midfield is very fierce, and the ball rights are constantly exchanged. In such a high-intensity press, it is difficult for the two teams to organize an attack calmly.

Gao Bo stood on the sidelines with his chest folded, expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking.

His team is leading in the total score, so although this situation is not very beautiful, but for Gao Bo, he can accept such a situation!

Even if the whole game was like this, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The goal of Atletico Madrid is only to advance to the quarterfinals~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If there is not much change in the game situation, even if it is zero to zero, Atletico Madrid can also advance.

For Barcelona, ​​they can't accept zero to zero-because then they will be eliminated!

Guardiola is a little worried, but he wants to adjust. But it hasn't passed halftime, he needs at least one intermission now!

Football matches are not like basketball or rugby. There can be a timeout, and the head coach can use the timeout to intervene in the game tactics.

For the football coach, when he wants to make relatively large tactical adjustments, he can only do it through the intermission. Even if it is a substitution, it is sometimes difficult to clearly state the coach's tactical intentions.

Guardiola touched his head and sat back on the coach's bench. In his opinion, that was the case in the first half of the game.

The situation of the game was indeed the same. The first half of the game passed in a stalemate between the two sides.

As soon as one minute of stoppage time in the first half passed, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
