Chapter 398 Defensive Counterattack? !
Guardiola frowned.
He is also looking at Griezmann!
He thought of everything in this game, but he did not expect that this game... Gao Bo actually focused his offense on Griezmann? !
Guardiola has watched many games of Gao Bo's team. He believes that Gao Bo is a head coach who emphasizes the whole and advocating the cooperation of passing the ball.
Therefore, his arrangement for this game is also focused on cutting off the connection between Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players.
And this also objectively gave Griezmann room for breakthrough.
Of course, it is undeniable that Griezmann's goal is indeed very exciting, if it weren't for Barcelona's goal, Guardiola would probably applaud this goal.
Within two minutes of the game, Barcelona lost the ball.
This situation is extremely unfavorable.
Guardiola set his sights on Messi.
To some extent, Gao Bo thought of going with Guardiola.
Guardiola is also ready to give full play to Messi's personal abilities in this game. In such a close contest, Guardiola is too aware of the value of a superstar.
Before the game, Guardiola thought that Barcelona's biggest advantage against Atletico Madrid is that they have Messi, a superstar in the world.
But judging from the series of performances just now by Griezmann, this French guy is probably on the way to approach Messi...
Guardiola took a deep breath. He did not expect Griezmann to explode in this way, but this did not hinder his subsequent tactical adjustments.
Controlling the ball is still Barcelona's main axis, but while controlling the ball, this game... Messi's weight will be more important!
The TV broadcast also gave Messi a close-up.
Little Flea was expressionless, he stood in the middle circle, preparing to kick-off with Villa.
It was less than two minutes since the start of the game. Messi contributed a shot, but Griezmann scored directly.
Messi looked at Griezmann, who was not very tall in the distance.
This young man three or four years younger than him made Messi feel a bit of pressure from competition.
The performance of the opponent just now was really great, and Messi's enthusiasm was inspired!
He looked at the opponent's goal.
"There is still a long time to play! David!"
Messi said suddenly.
Villa was taken aback, he didn't know why Messi suddenly said such a sentence without thinking.
Messi did not continue to speak either.
There is still a long time for the game?
Villa was chewing Messi's words.
The meaning of this sentence, of course, Villa understands that the opponent scored early and there is still a lot of time left in the game. This also means that Barcelona has enough time to equalize the score and even overtake.
But shouldn't this sentence be said impassionedly?
What Messi just said was very calm, as if he was saying "the weather is nice today".
.....
The game restarted soon.
The current situation has forced Barcelona to attack, they began to press up, as far as possible to compress Atletico Madrid's defense line from the midfield, until after the squashing of Atletico Madrid, Barcelona can continue in the area near the top of the penalty area. Got a chance.
But of course Atletico Madrid will not let its own formation be squashed. In the midfield, the Atletico Madrid players squat with Barcelona through active running and compact formation. At the same time, they are accumulating their strength and are ready to launch an encirclement and suppression. Take the ball back from Barcelona.
Villa soon learned what Messi meant when he said "there is still a long time".
In the seventh minute of the game, Messi took the ball on the right. The first time he saw the ball, he swiped the ball with his right foot. After the football passed by Raul Garcia, Messi suddenly accelerated and got rid of Raul. Garcia.
Then left back Sandro came up, he lowered his weight, and retreated.
Messi took the ball to the center and cut it inward.
Sandro hurriedly followed to prevent Messi from shooting directly inside.
But Sandro moved, and Messi moved too!
Messi suddenly moved the ball to the outside line, and the football passed Sandro's left foot.
Sandro hurriedly twisted his body over again, at this time Messi passed by him like a gust of wind! !
Sandro made a shovel, but he did not make a tackle! !
"Messi!! Messi has passed!!!"
The commentator exclaimed, and the fans in the stands began to cheer loudly!
Gao Bo on the sidelines immediately became nervous, and it seemed that Guardiola had the same idea as him!
Messi quickly broke through from the outside, he broke into the penalty area.
The cheers in the stands are boiling!
"Messi broke into the restricted area!!!"
In the penalty area, Boateng got stuck, but when facing Messi, Boateng was still a little nervous.
"Keep your eye on, Jerome!!"
Godin behind him reminded Boateng! And he himself firmly withstood Villa in the penalty area, on the other side Juan Fran also shrank back to the penalty area, Kanter and Modric also returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense.
Boateng stared at Messi's feet, Messi did not have any dazzling fake moves, he just controlled the rhythm of the dribble, but Boateng did not dare to take it lightly.
He is facing Messi!
Messi's foot action suddenly became faster. He first made a fake action of breaking through from the outside, and then suddenly changed direction. When Boateng reacted, Messi had already shot directly in the penalty area! ! !
"Pretty!!! Kanter's blocking!!!"
The voice of the narrator rang.
When Messi cut inside, Kanter, who rushed into the penalty area, fell directly to the ground, his body crossed and blocked Messi's shooting line, the ball hit him directly to the bottom line!
Barcelona's corner kick!
Iniesta took a corner kick, which was a tactical corner kick.
Messi moved to the left again.
This time Juan Fran was passed by Messi, and Messi passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area near the baseline.
Pedro took the initiative to give up his position to Messi after Messi got to the left, and he came to the middle by himself.
And this time the switch allowed Pedro to get a chance for a kicker.
At the top of the penalty area, Pedro volleyed with his right foot!
The football was thrown back by Navas and returned to the penalty area, then Boateng cleared the ball.
Barcelona controlled the ball in the backcourt and continued to attack!
Messi is in the middle again!
Messi passed the ball to Harvey in the middle and then went into the middle by himself.
Harvey's pick passed quickly, Messi then inserted the ball and volleyed the ball, and the football crossed Navas's head into the goal.
Before the stands could cheer, the referee's whistle sounded first.
It turns out that Messi hooked Godin with his foot before catching the ball. He fouled first~EbookFREE.me~ Such a penalty naturally made the Barcelona fans quite dissatisfied. They didn't care if Messi fouled or not. In the eyes of the fans, this is a goal that the referee blew off Barcelona.
Guardiola looked very excited on the sidelines, and the words spoken immediately caused the fourth official's concern.
Gao Bo is a bit untenable. Barcelona's offensive during this period is getting more and more fierce. Messi's threat on the pitch is too great, which makes Atletico Madrid have to guard!
"Defensive!!! Full line back to defense!!!"
Gao Bo handed Raul Garcia to the sidelines.
"Don't give them room to break through, especially Messi!"
The way Gao Bo thought of was not to arrange a few players to specifically target Messi, but to immediately form a close defensive formation in the backcourt!
Now Atletico Madrid is one goal ahead, which is equivalent to the strategic advantage of Atletico Madrid.
Since Atletico Madrid can make an airtight press in the frontcourt, now they have moved this set to the forefront of their penalty zone.
When the game restarted, the Barcelona players soon discovered that their offense met a wall!
A wall at the forefront of the restricted area!
Atletico Madrid retreated as a whole and played defensively?
Guardiola's head faintly started to hurt...
If it is facing the opponent's intensive defense, in fact, Guardiola also knows that Atletico Madrid can do the defense at the forefront of the penalty zone. He has studied Atletico Madrid.
Previously, Atletico Madrid rarely played such defensive counterattacks that were directly returned to the penalty area, but this game was different.
Since it is already leading, then Atletico Madrid chooses to play defensive counterattacks... Barcelona also does not have much to do.
