Chapter 311 Skin sees through, Rossi is marked

Less than 20 minutes into the first half, conceding a goal first was somewhat unexpected for the Barcelona team.

Before scoring, they firmly controlled a lot of possession time.

The opponent only needs a long pass from the backcourt to counterattack and score a goal.

The efficiency is frighteningly high.

Especially Bayern's number 4.

He was too calm to pull the ball and split the ball at the front of the penalty area.

No wonder his scoring efficiency is higher than Messi.

Really can't underestimate him.

Enrique stood on the sidelines, stroking his beard stubble, thinking a little.

Rossi's performance is certainly eye-catching.

What he cares more about is Ancelotti's tactics.

The famous Italian coach saw the large space left behind after Rakitic advanced to attack.

That No. 4 was inserted into this vacuum zone during the counterattack.

Although Busquets came back to defend, he calmly swung the defense away.

Taking advantage of the celebration time of the Bayern team, Enrique called Rakitic to his side and asked him to pay more attention to returning to the right.

Rakitic has excellent stamina and running ability, he can attack and retreat, he can defend, and his ability to organize offense is not bad. It can be said that he is a relatively comprehensive midfielder.

His average running distance per game reached an astonishing 9 kilometers.

This is also the reason why Enrique dared to put Harvey on the bench when he first came to Barcelona.

The game continued and Barcelona kicked off.

After taking the lead, Bayern did not rush to attack, but organized defense in the half.

Although Barcelona's pass control has not reached its peak, it is still very difficult to steal the ball.

The ball is given to Messi on the right.

Under Enrique, Messi began to complete a transformation.

In his early 20s, he passed the wide open, tortured the curb, and cut in with his left foot like a sharp scythe.

Now, however, he is out wide and able to see the goal through a diagonal line.

Better vision allows him to pass the ball like a scalpel and accurately find opportunities.

Being able to break through, pass, cooperate with teammates, and play exquisite cooperation is the only way for Messi to truly become the king of the ball.

In just 5 minutes, Barcelona used the skillful pass to firmly control the ball at their feet.

And the Bayern players, during this period, did not even touch the ball once.

They started to get a little anxious.

It is not a good sign that the ball has been controlled by the opponent for a long time.

Moreover, the number of Barcelona's return passes in their own half is getting less and less.

Maybe the Bayern players didn't realize that their defensive line in the midfield was gradually compressed and very flat.

In the 26th minute, after Messi took the ball on the right, he took it to the center.

At this time, Bayern's midfield and back line are relatively tight, trying to intercept the opponent's ground conduction.

Suddenly, Messi suddenly accelerated and continued to dribble the ball horizontally. After first swaying the defense of the midfielder Martinez, he suddenly kicked through and passed into the penalty area.

Because the pass was too sudden, Thiago had no time to react, and the ball passed between his legs and appeared on the left side of the goal.

[Beautiful, Messi's through ball went through! 】

[Iniesta! 】

[Shoot directly! 】

【Dangerous!】

【The ball rubs against the far post and rolls out of the baseline. 】

[Really, it's just a little bit worse! 】

Before the Bayern players came back to their senses, Messi was in the midfield, instigating an attack.

His pass directly penetrated Bayern's two lines of defense.

Iniesta, who advanced from the left rib, faced Neuer who was attacking, and pushed the ball straight to the far corner without stopping the ball, trying to catch the goalkeeper by surprise.

Fortunately, when Neuer attacked, his center of gravity was very low. His right hand lightly touched the ball and changed the route.

If it is not blocked, the ball must pass.

After resolving the threat and scoring a goal, Neuer also punched and roared, and high-fived Ram to celebrate.

Messi's support pass is terrible.

Not to mention that the pass of the ball was very subtle.

It was because of Messi's appearance that Ram ignored Iniesta, who was plugged in later.

Barcelona's attack also sounded the alarm for Bayern players.

Constantly being used by opponents to pass the ball, making the gap between the midfield and the backcourt too flat.

At this time, as long as Barcelona passes the ball behind, it can hit the space behind Bayern.

Ancelotti hastened to get Martinez to go up as far as he could, to be more aggressive.

Barcelona continued to play tactical corner kicks.

After the full-back Ro Alba received the ball, he saw that Suarez had ambushed in the penalty area, and made a low pass to the goal.

Hummels' follow-up flew out in time. Under his interference, Suarez chose to rush to the header.

The ball rubbed against the post and flew out of the baseline.

Although the Bayern players don't want to admit it, so far, Barcelona has taken the initiative on the scene.

Enrique's team not only retained the original pass and control system, but also added counterattack tactics.

Like the wing cross just now, there were very few in the previous tactics.

Bayern kicked off and Neuer passed the ball forward.

Lewandowski retreated to catch the ball and could easily control the ball firmly under his feet.

After Lewandowski passed back, Rossi moved forward between the two central defenders of Barcelona to attract the defense.

Thiago, who received the ball, passed the ball to Robben's feet on the right after getting rid of Busquets' defense.

Arriving at a position he was familiar with, the old man Luo showed his housekeeping skills and cut inward horizontally.

Rossi's counter-running oblique thrust is to make room for him in the middle and take away Umtiti's defense.

Lewandowski's advance also attracted Pique's attention.

If only facing the defense of the full-backs, Robben has absolute confidence to create shooting opportunities.

But Rakitic's timely return to defense allowed him to be double-teamed at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

In desperation, Robben chose to pass to Rossi who advanced.

But Pique, who was seasoned in defense, had already seen through his intentions, moved ahead of time, and intercepted the ball.

I can see through all of Ronaldo's fake moves,

Of course including you!

After completing the steal, Pique intentionally or unintentionally cast a look of contempt at Robben.

In the following time, the two teams attacked each other, but they were all resolved one by one by each other's solid defense.

With a score of 1:0, the first half of the match between the two sides ended.

Leading Bayern, and can not be taken lightly.

In the first half, Barcelona controlled 68% of the possession time and threatened more attacks.

"Well done everyone!"

"The opponent's left side is still our main point of attack!"

"Ar Yang, keep going here in the second half!"

An Pang's tactic is very simple, that is, to seize the opponent's defensive weakness on the left and beat him hard.

If Alba is forced to retreat, then Barcelona's offense will be completely compressed on the right, and the defense will be relatively easy.

"Luo, your running position is very important!"

"Don't be lazy!"

Knowing that Rossi's physical condition is very good, An Pang will not pity him.

And judging from the offense in the first half, Rossi's running position did create several shooting opportunities for his teammates.

Barcelona locker room.

Enrique put his hands in his pockets, pondered a little, his eyes fixed on the tactical board.

In the first half, the team created far more opportunities than the opponent.

But Bayern's counterattack is more efficient.

"Our offense in the first half was good, but we lacked some luck. Don't be discouraged."

Enrique affirmed the player's performance, and then drew a circle on the tactical board with a pen.

"Here is the focus of our defense in the second half!"

The Barcelona players knew at a glance that the player in this position was Rossi.

He moves on both sides of the penalty area very frequently, and his running position is quite strange.

If you don't pay attention, he will appear in unexpected places.

"Ivan, in the second half, you should be more active in returning to defense, and together with Sergio, defend him."

Rakitic and Busquets looked at each other, a little surprised.

A mere Rossi wants them to team up to double-team?
He is not Messi!

Enrique continued: "Also, Samuel, you are responsible for running up and down and fighting, Gerrard must delay the defense, and our defense line must be deep."

Umtiti had seen Rossi's movement and nodded silently.

But Pique showed a trace of disdain.

After setting up the tactics, Enrique looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, the second half, come on!"
