Chapter 349: Swing the bus

"...After the game started, after ten minutes of play, we can clearly see that Sampdoria took a defensive counterattack in this game, which is not surprising. Sampdoria can only do so. Otherwise their goal will be sifted..." Catalan TV's commentator joked.
Sampdoria of Francesco really played a defensive counterattack, basically giving up the ball control completely, and handing over the football to Barcelona, ​​allowing them to fall back and forth in their own half, as long as Barcelona is not in the middle, then Will not go up to grab. If Barcelona cross the center line, the intensity of the is not great.
Only when Barcelona approaches the 30-meter area of ​​Sampdoria will their defensive strength increase.
If Barcelona tries to break into Sampdoria's penalty zone, then Sampdoria will be stubbornly resisted.
This is the tactic most teams will use when facing Barcelona, ​​commonly known as the "swing bus".
At the beginning, Mourinho led Inter Milan to meet Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final away. In the case of being sent off, Mourinho let the team decisively swing the bus. In the end, he only kept the bus until the end of the game. After scoring a goal, although the game was lost, the total score was still superior to Barcelona, ​​the final, and finally won the championship.
The bus tactics made Barcelona fans uncomfortable, thinking that this is an ugly tactic that stifles the wonderful football and is a retrogression of modern football.
This is because once the opponent puts the bus in this way, Barcelona cannot easily score a goal and cannot win the game without any effort, so Barcelona fans will be unhappy.
How can they be happy?
If a team plays against Barcelona as soon as it opens, the full-back becomes a winger and does not return when pressed. The team behind the defense line can be free to run if the space is large, and it is also polite to defend Barcelona players. Try to avoid physical contact if possible. It is possible that the players who knocked down Barcelona immediately put their power back, put their hands behind their backs, and sent the Barcelona stars with admiring eyes to take the ball away like a flower and a butterfly, and finally scored.
The Barcelona fans will certainly give their 120% respect and applause to opponents who know how to appreciate the beauty of football and how to maintain beautiful football.
But to their regret, the world is still ugly after all, and there are too few opponents willing to do so...
So Barcelona is not surprised to face the main defense team. They also have a way to deal with this team. Although it is a bit more troublesome, it does not mean that they cannot win.
In fact, Barcelona's traditional style of play happens to be an intensive defense.
The reason why Inter Milan can eliminate Barcelona by placing a bus is special. First of all, the game was lost by Inter Milan, only because the Champions League knockout is a two-round system. Secondly, because the total score gap is too large, it is not necessary for Barcelona to score a goal. Players are impatient and naturally it is difficult to play what they are good at. Thirdly, the Inter Milan players were also full of ambitions in that game, and goalkeeper Cesar was just like opening.
But many times, teams trying to beat Barcelona by putting a bus have no such luck and situation.
As long as the Barcelona players are not in a hurry, be patient with them, constantly use each other to pass the position to find the free time, and mobilize the opponent's defense line. The free time will always be found by them, and then a sudden kick in the slow pace of the kick will come. Straight plug can tear the opponent's defense line and create a killer.
This is Barcelona's tried-and-true trick.
Now they apply it to Sampdoria.
Sampdoria didn't come to grab, they just passed back and forth in the Samp penalty area, waiting patiently for the opportunity.
Sampdoria’s offensive approach is very simple. If the ball is on their side, they will basically not press the offense, nor will they use short passes to promote this kind of attack, which has a high success rate but requires a lot of manpower. Way, but a long pass directly to find Gao Zheng at the forefront.
Gao Zheng, as the arrow character of this game, is the center of the center. He is the closest person to the goal of Barcelona in the Sampdoria team.
After he took the ball, he used his foot skills to find opportunities for Sampdoria.
However, there are too few such opportunities. After all, the quality of the offense still has to correspond to the number of people. If there are not enough people, it will be very difficult.
So Sampdoria can hardly threaten Barcelona's goal.
※※※
Sampdoria takes care of Messi. As long as Messi takes the ball, he will immediately be surrounded by two players. He will follow him, and will not let him take the ball easily.
But even so, it can be seen that the two Sampdoria players defending Messi are very difficult.
Messi's strength is not only his own personal strength, but also in the Barcelona tactical system, his strength can be effectively amplified, in cooperation with teammates, can produce chemical reactions.
For example, when he tries to cut in from the right, whether it is a Barcelona striker near the penalty area or a midfielder, he can form a connection with Messi. When Messi is facing two opponent players, he can put the football Passing forward to the retreating striker, you can also pass the lease term to the midfielder who is next to him, and then cut off the position and make various triangle collisions with his teammates.
It makes the defensive players uncomfortable-after all, when Messi passes the football, it is impossible not to defend the player who takes the ball, the other Barcelona players are not fuel-efficient lamps, they have super personal abilities, if they all run If you defend Messi, you will lose the ball. Even if they can make Messi scoreless in the whole game, they still lose the game. What's the point?
"Messi is here!" Italian coach Carresa exclaimed when Messi started to drive the ball from the side to the middle.
Messi's every such dribble can make him nervous, afraid that Sampdoria's back line can't hold up.
This time Messi made a collision with Sanchez in the process of lateral dribbling.
He passed the football to Sanchez, who withdrew the response. He accelerated again and broke through between the two Sampdoria defensive players. At the same time, Sanchez passed the football back to him. He stepped lightly and avoided Samp. After Doria's central defender Alberto Massi's rush, he took a left foot shot.
"Danger!" He Ping shouted.
The football draws a clear arc and goes around the back corner of the goal.
Although Romero made a save, he was still far away from the football... Just when everyone thought that Sampdoria was going to lose the ball this time, the football flew out of the baseline by rubbing the outside of the goal post!
"It's dangerous!" Carresa let out a breath.
The collective cries of Sampdoria fans also sounded in the stands.
Messi, who did not score a goal, shook his head gently, a little regret.
Although Messi didn't score, Barcelona coach Martino sat firmly on the coach's seat, not worried or regretful.
The goal was indeed not scored, but in this attack he has seen Sampdoria's defensive line crumbled. I believe that it will not be long before Barcelona can score.
Everything is just a matter of time.
Yes, and this time will not exceed the end of the first half at the latest.
He was very happy that his players did not underestimate the enemy and the game was on the right track.
