Chapter 480: Battle for the pinnacle: extreme oppression!

Berlin Olympic Stadium, Germany.
When Royce broke the goal and hugged Tang Hong tightly, the two rushed to the sidelines together, raising their fists and roaring!
Dortmund fans at the scene cheered!
Last year, Dortmund's striker and Lewandowski stood in the Champions League final. This year Mandzukic is sitting on the bench.
The only constant is the twin star Tang Hong and Royce!
They symbolize the best era in Dortmund, and are also the pinnacle representative of the team's history!
"Wow! Royce scored some powerful shots!
Dortmund took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!
From the opening convenience, Dortmund, who created a threat to the Barcelona defense line with every counter attack, played a threat that could not be ignored!
Tang Hong had already hit the goal post with a shot, which inevitably made Barcelona put the defensive focus further on him.
When he was hit by three people, he faked a heel pass.
Barcelona chose wrong when adjusting the defense line!
In other words, Mkhitaryan had a clear insight into the flaws in Barcelona's defense line when following up the organization to deliver shells: they allowed Tang Hong to control the ball in a dangerous area!
After Tang Hong hit the ball into the penalty area, he showed his strong strength in front of Pique.
Step on the bike to change direction, pull the ball back and pass it with a flower foot.
Because he has seen Busquets back into the penalty area, he also knows that if he adjusts one more step, Pique will raise his leg to block him. He did not give Pique a chance.
The timing and footwork control of this pass are wonderful!
Royce rushes to the football spot and shoots!
Football is dead end!
If we count Barcelona's major losses in the past years, whether in the league or in the European war, the most common picture is that their defense was quickly defeated by their opponents!
This is not determined by the opponent's tactics, but by Barcelona's own tactics.
They are good at passing and controlling and oppressing. When the formation oppresses the frontcourt, the opponent's counterattack is likely to create a situation where more hits and less or a balanced number of players. As long as the speed and threat are enough, then the Barcelona defense line is in danger!
The difference is that today Barcelona does have a lot of backcourts when defensive.
But Dortmund took the lead in breaking the goal!
Now Barcelona can only bite the bullet and continue to attack Dortmund!
And Dortmund will inevitably continue to fight their defensive counterattack to work hard to create the next goal.
Dortmund 1:0 Barcelona! "
Barcelona kicked off, Dortmund continued to put on a defensive counterattack posture.
Barcelona did not speed up the rhythm, but controlled the scene more patiently, passing as many passes as possible to tear Dortmund's defense line horizontally.
This is also their means to suppress the threat of Dortmund's counterattack.
Avoid easily losing the ball and getting caught off guard by Dortmund's quick counterattack at a fast pace.
In the 24th minute of the game, Messi knocked the ball back after a feint attack on the right. Rakitic quickly made an offensive shift. After the football flew to the left, Alba rushed into the ball quickly.
The defensive focus of Kuba and Pischek was on Neymar. When Neymar moved inward, they both gave up on the outside defense.
This instead allowed Alba to hop to the bottom of the ball unimpeded, and then Alba returned the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
Kuba immediately turned around and went to force, Iniesta took the initiative to take a kick and knocked the ball across the front center of the penalty area.
Before Shaheen and Mkhitaryan could react, Messi had already passed by the two generals. After adjusting the stop belt with his left foot, he made a rubbing shot!
Weidenfeller hurriedly made a save, only to hear a bang, the football hit the crossbar and flew into the stands.
The Barcelona fans were extremely sorry, and Messi showed a bitter smile.
Okay, Tang Hong hit the goalpost, and he hit the crossbar.
This is a tie!
In the 29th minute of the game, when Neymar forced the ball across the penalty area from the left side of the front court, although it had deducted Pišček, it was cut off by Couba. Neymar fell into the Dortmund penalty area. He and Pishcek's physical contact made him lose focus.
He was accusing the opponent of fouling, and the referee ignored it.
The Barcelona fans are very dissatisfied and think it should be a penalty!
Dortmund can directly launch a fast break regardless of that much.
Royce met from the back of the middle circle, and Tang Hong actively moved to the front of the middle circle.
After Royce's through pass was sent, Tang Hong stopped and pulled the ball in front of Busquets when he was in possession of the ball. Seeing that the trend was to change the direction of the spike, Busquets also deviated slightly.
But when Tang Hong pulled the ball in front of him and started directly without any muddle, he went to the front and right of the ball in the original direction to kill Busquets.
At this time, Busquets, who realized that his prediction was wrong, hurriedly grabbed Tang Hong.
After pulling the force to stop Tang Hong, let go immediately.
Tang Hong stopped and turned to face the referee.
Is this not a foul?
The referee stopped the game and gave Busquets a yellow card.
This tactical foul allowed the Barcelona defense to avoid a threatening counterattack from Dortmund, but at the cost of a yellow card on Busquets, I am afraid that there will be a lot of concerns when defending.
The threat in Dortmund's positional battle is not high, because the defense is also considered tight after the opponent's formation retreats, and it is basically impossible for Dortmund to overturn Barcelona's defense line by Tang Hong without increasing the number of offenses.
After all, there is no space, the opponent will also adopt joint defense control, and he will be regarded as the number one threat and key restriction.
In the 34th minute of the game, Barcelona once again formed an oppressive offensive in the frontcourt. Suarez took the initiative to respond, and Dortmund's defense contracted more tightly.
Because of uncertainty, who would suddenly cut inward and cut into the penalty area.
Iniesta tried a long shot in response to Messi's pass from the periphery!
The football that flew to the upper right corner of the goal was saved by Weidenfeller.
Schmelzer then half-turned around on the right side of the penalty area to clear the ball.
Pique controlled the ball in front of the center line and Barcelona reorganized the offensive.
Tang Hong really admires these teams that play pass control, can pass the ball repeatedly without getting bored.
Whether in Braga, Manchester United, or Dortmund, coupled with previous experience in playing football, his game thinking and habits are definitely not able to give up the ball back when he has the opportunity to try to break.
Who can guarantee that every breakthrough will be successful?
nobody!
But in the same way, who can guarantee that the pass-and-control play can be a kill every time a long pass and a threatening ball is sent after tearing the opponent's defense line?
Isn't there still a risk of stealing the ball?
Most teams can't stop the pass, and defensive factors are bound to exist, but the more deadly is that the threat of a weak team's counterattack is not big, so that teams like Barcelona and Bayern Munich can stage a massacre unscrupulously.
But when the real top teams fight back, can Barcelona and Bayern Munich still relax?
If Ferguson is not sticking to the tradition of Manchester United in his bones, he is unwilling to use Mourinho's style, otherwise it is hard to say whether the Champions League winners in 2009 and 2011 are Barcelona's.
It's a pity that the old man is too stubborn.
In the 38th minute of the game, Neymar broke through Pišček on the left and crossed the ball in the penalty area before the baseline. After the ball, he quickly entered the penalty area. Suarez took the initiative to knock the ball back.
Neymar took the central possession of the ball and stopped, and there were already many defensive players around him double-teaming him. At the critical moment, he did not show his footwork again, but calmly passed the ball diagonally to the right of the penalty area!
If this Brazilian superstar can sink his heart to integrate into the team's skills and tactics, instead of just playing with himself, his starting point is indeed enough to impact the status of a superstar, but he still needs long-term honor and data performance as accumulation Just work.
When the football flew to the right in front of the penalty area, Sven Bender was about to make a clearance, but Messi took the first step to volley the ball to the front center of the penalty area.
After the ball, he quickly cut in the middle of the penalty area.
This move also made Dortmund's defense completely unpredictable.
Rakitic sent a through pass in the middle of the penalty area.
After Messi led the ball with his left foot in front of Subotic's side, without waiting for Hummels to block the angle, he slid with the arch of his foot!
The football rolled to the lower left corner of the goal!
The angle is extremely tricky, an absolute theoretical blind spot!
Weidenfeller swooped out with all his strength but failed to touch the football. He could only watch the football rubbing the inside of the left post and rolling into the goal!
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin greeted the cheers of Barcelona fans!
Finally entered!
"Messi scored a goal in the penalty area! Barcelona equalized the score!
Barcelona finally broke through Dortmund's goal after a continuous pass and control offensive!
This time, Neymar formed a side-to-center cooperation with Suarez on the left. He contained a large number of Dortmund defenders in the penalty area, Hummels, Kuba, and Shahin formed a siege against him.
In this case, Neymar's diagonal pass is very important. While shifting the offense, Messi also has room to cut inside.
Messi and Rakitic completed a pass and cut cooperation, which was too simple for them, and Messi also scored a goal worth a thousand dollars!
Now the score has become 1:1!
As long as Barcelona control the game in a suitable state, they can suppress Dortmund's counterattack threat to the limit.
But this balance is not easy to maintain, and all of them must not make mistakes!
Barcelona did it in the past ten minutes!
Dortmund has failed to make a counterattack threat in the past ten minutes.
The situation seems to be less favorable for Dortmund, but I will not rush to the conclusion that Barcelona will win more.
Many Temund can make another goal with a counterattack, but Barcelona needs more threats to make a goal.
I don't know if Enrique will take the initiative to change Barcelona's play after the score is equalized.
After all, if Barcelona wants to oppress the offense, their defense must face the counterattacks from Tang Hong and Royce!
Proper adjustments may be more beneficial to Barcelona. "
