Chapter 909: It's hard for a good person these days!


The tactics are the original familiar ball control tactics.
The players are still the familiar faces of the original group.
Even the coach on the sidelines, Luis Enrique, has the temperament of Pep Guardiola.
However, Barcelona is no longer the same Barcelona six years ago.
Time changes and the world changes.
Remember, when Guardiola's Barcelona swept across Europa, what did people say?
The only thing that can beat this team is time!
As time goes by, the players get old year after year.
When Harvey drags his thirty-five-year-old body to run on the court, when Iniesta takes a thirty-year-old pace to dribble the ball heavily on the court, when the old green Messi, Busquets and Pique Wait, when you started to become the humeral veteran of this team, who would dare to say that it was not time to beat Barcelona?
Luis Enrique hopes to bring more changes to the team, so in the center position, he introduced Spanish center Llorente from Juventus at a high price, hoping to enrich the team's offensive methods.
However, between Llorente, Neymar and Messi, a good chemical reaction has never been formed.
The midfielder introduced Turan from Atletico Madrid at a high price, but in this crucial game, Enrique chose the old Harvey.
Perhaps he believes that the pinnacle combination of Harvey, Iniesta and Busquets can help the team reverse the situation and win the Saints at this critical moment.
On the back line, the combination of Alba, Mascherano, Pique and Alves, plus the German lion king Ter Stegen, is not inferior to the Barcelona that year.
But something has changed, just changed.
At that time, Barcelona was able to suppress opponents regardless of home and away games, suppressing all opponents out of breath.
But now?
Luis Enrique's team is still pressing forward without hesitation and did not follow the conservative strategy of the first round. Because they must score at least two goals to guarantee promotion, they have to give it a go.
The players pressed, grabbed, and counterattacked on the spot quite decisively.
They worked hard to do what they did in Barcelona at the peak of the year.
Even, they are very, very sure that they will desire more and work harder than before.
However, the group of people who stood opposite them were not panicked and at a loss as their opponents back then, and they were not confused by their pressing and oppression.
Even the two young and young central defenders on the defensive line seem to be used to them. They feel that there is no problem in coping with such pressing and oppression, and they seem to be comfortable.
This made the Barcelona players feel angry, annoyed, and unacceptable.
They desperately want to prove that they are okay, desperately want to shout, tell their opponents, what's special, this is the Nou Camp!
They crazily rob and oppress.
Can't advance in the middle?
No, let's play golf!
Isn't there a Llorente in front?
The high ball is played around Llorente.
Therefore, Llorente firmly suppressed Southampton's defense line in the front of the penalty area, and then used his excellent physical fitness and header ability to control the first point.
Then, let Neymar and Messi fight for the second spot. Once they get the ball, they will immediately move to the wing. Two full-backs will step in and attack. Messi, Neymar and Llorente will attack again. Quickly insert the restricted area.
This set of tactics is a bit simple, but very practical.
In fact, Luis Enrique’s tactics are indeed right.
Llorente's pillar role in the frontcourt is very obvious, almost firmly suppressing the two young players Varane and Nastasic.
However, Southampton can always firmly control the second point.
Bielsa's tactics are also very targeted. Knowing that you are behind in the first round, you must be desperate in the second round.
After aggressively pressing the offense, the already weak defense line is definitely more empty.
Therefore, Southampton’s strategy is to defend and fight back!
Give full play to Hazard’s ability to take the ball in the key area of ​​the frontcourt, take the ball from the ribs or the wing, to attract Barcelona's defensive attention, and then it is up to teammates to attack the opponent's defense, or after the midfielder completes it Plug in the offense.
Facts have proved that Bielsa's tactics are significantly more effective.
It was Matic who intercepted the ball at the front of the penalty area and quickly passed it to David Abala on the left, who drove the ball forward and backward, and then passed it to Hazard.
The Belgian grabbed the ball to attract the attention of Alves and Busquets, and Suarez led Pique and Mascherano, making Barcelona's defense appear in neutral.
Di Maria stepped in and got a pass from Hazard, and quickly broke through Busquets' defense zone. Behind Mascherano, Sanchez rushed to the right side with a slap shot from the right. The shot was successful, one to zero. !
If the first goal was a bit sudden, then the second goal completely convinced Barcelona.
When Barcelona tried to pass the ball to the frontcourt again and hand it to Llorente, Matic grabbed the first goal when he was fighting for the header. Nastasic reacted quickly and rushed forward. After getting the ball, he passed Iniesta with a long pass with his left foot.
The ball quickly came to the frontcourt.
Barcelona's defense line retreated quickly, but Suarez was faster.
The Uruguayan striker and Mascherano judged the ball's impact at the same time, but Suarez took a step faster and grabbed the ball before Mascherano.
This challenge directly caused Mascherano to pounce.
When he landed again, Suarez hurried to catch up, volleying the ball directly.
The angle of this shot was very tricky, almost rubbing the left post and getting into the goal. Ter Stegen was powerless to do anything about it. He could only watch the ball go into the net, two to zero!
At this time, the first half was less than thirty minutes!
However, the game is over!
Southampton scored two goals in a row, with a total score of five to one. Barcelona would have to score five goals to reverse.
For the Western Super League giants, this is simply impossible!
The entire Camp Nou fell into a deathly silence, and no one thought that the second round of the game would be so bad.
Five to one, how could they still have a chance to reverse?
Not only the fans in the stands, but even the players on the court seemed a little bit disappointed.
They don't understand why they have tried their best, but still the result?
Why, a few years ago, they were able to rely on this set of tactics to sweep Europa, but now, a few years later, they were beaten so embarrassed by their opponents, so humiliated at the Nou Camp?
There was a faint booing from the stands, which is rare in the impressive Nou Camp.
But everyone knows that Barcelona fans are venting their dissatisfaction with the team.
If, even if they are only fighting for a little bit, even as long as they stand and lose, the fans will not be so disappointed.
But now...
One to three away games, zero to two in less than half an hour at home. How can such a game and such a gap make people not desperate?
In the chairman's stand of the Nou Camp, Russell wiped his face vigorously, which should be hiding his embarrassment.
Because the people sitting around him are all Barcelona celebrities, political and business celebrities.
They originally came with expectations, hoping to see the team complete a reversal, but who would have thought...
Bartomeu let out a long sigh, full of miscellaneous sadness, he thought he had done his best.
"If we hadn't missed Rakitic, Mathieu, and Quadrado last summer, our situation should be different now!" Roselle sighed and shook his head very sadly.
A year ago, almost all of the players Barcelona were targeting in the transfer market were cut off by Chelsea.
This directly led to Barcelona's unfavorable signings, which have performed poorly this season.
The Champions League results are relatively good, reaching the quarter-finals knockout.
But in La Liga, they are currently ranked third in the league below the leaders Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
The Copa del Rey was also eliminated early.
Such a result certainly cannot satisfy Barcelona fans.
Harvey is old, Iniesta is also old, the team's metabolism should have been on the agenda long ago, but...
"The European football is now completely different from a few years ago!" Russell said sadly.
Yang Huan won the ball, feeling very good, and nodded: "Of course, with the influx of capital, European football must have changed, and it is a revolutionary change."
"Before, we Barcelona can buy whoever we want to buy. Almost no player can refuse our temptation. Even arrogant like Ibrahimovic will be impressed by us."
Russell smiled bitterly, "But now, with so many rich teams, so fierce competition, and so popular players, the attractiveness of our team's players is not as good as before."
Yang Huan listened, and said nothing on the surface, but he was amused in his heart, which was taken for granted.
In the past, in European football, who could burn money like Barcelona and Real Madrid?
Even if Manchester United and Bayern Munich are doing such a good job, they still have to weigh when they spend money.
But now?
Chelsea is a local tycoon, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are even more local than Chelsea.
There are two or three billion pounds in Manchester United's account, ready to burn in the transfer market, and Arsenal have two hundred million pounds ready to burn.
Bayern Munich is also facing the pressure of aging players and will burn money.
Needless to say, Real Madrid has been the leader for more than half a year, but now it has been overtaken by Simeone's Atletico Madrid. Needless to say, Ancelotti has finished class and will continue to burn money this summer.
There is a Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1, which must also be burned.
It was previously reported that the Berlusconi family had decided to sell Milan, and the newly taken over, Tohir and others, also said that they must burn money.
Think about it, with this burning method, can the player's transfer fee be low?
It would be a weird thing if Barcelona were able to hook up their little fingers as they did a few years ago, so that a large number of European superstars would flock to it!
And one thing that must be said is that Barcelona's management is indeed not doing well enough in signing.
If they are too careless and are still immersed in the glorious history of Barcelona's hook and finger, players will flock to it, then Mathieu, Rakitic and Quadrado will be snatched by Chelsea?
However, it is funny to say that the players Chelsea brought in last summer were not reused.
Among them, Mathieu and Rakitic are better, but Quadrado, Icardi and La Nokia are not liked by Mourinho and are expected to be sent away this summer.
"Hey, Sandro, don't say I haven't told you something in advance."
"Ok?"
"Chelsea wants to sell Quadrado~EbookFREE.me~ It is estimated that it should be around 20 million euros, and lose a little bit."
Unexpectedly, Bartomeu shook his head as soon as he finished speaking: "This is not good. Since Quadrado chose Chelsea last summer, then we will not consider introducing him now."
Russell also nodded unceasingly, feeling that it was true.
What are you kidding me, dignified Barcelona is a tall, rich and handsome man. I was dumped by a poor girl last year. It's shameful enough. If I saw a poor girl divorced from a nouveau riche this year, I would be so stubborn. If he ran to pick up the ocean, wouldn’t he be laughed out of?
Where do you want to put this handsome face in Barcelona?
Besides, Barcelona also has their own goals.
Yang Huan felt the malicious eyes of Roselle and Bartomeu, and immediately beat a drum.
Nimei, it's hard for a good person to do it these days!
