There is a belief called football

Chapter 159 Veteran is not so easy to "bully"

Seeing that everyone didn't quite understand, Stan said: "In the second half, we will focus on Harvey."

But the problem is that "Xavi" has been called the greatest midfielder in the world in the past 10 years. It will not be easier to defend him than to defend Messi.

In fact, many players here grew up watching Harvey play football, such as Qi Bing, such as Hassler, in their eyes Harvey is their "male god".

"Coach, everyone in the Barcelona team is a pass master, is it useful to guard one?"Hassler asked.

Stan snapped his fingers and said: "You are right, everyone in Barcelona is indeed a master, but the problem is that no matter how powerful the team is, it must have a core."

Stein cited a western allusion - the powerful ancient Roman army left "Caesar" and "Octavian" and it was just a mess.

Then Stan pointed to "Harvey" on the tactical board, "He, Harvey, is the commander of Barcelona and Caesar of Barcelona."

After Stan's explanation, some players nodded involuntarily to express their approval of what Stan said.

So now it's the second question. Whether to defend is one thing, but whether to defend or not is another.

In recent years, Barcelona has swept Europe. It is not that no one has mentioned that in order to beat Barcelona, ​​Harvey must be controlled first, but the teams that have really succeeded in restricting Harvey are rare.

Stan turned around, wiped the tactical board, and said, "Next I'm going to talk about how to bully the elderly. Of course, Recoba, I didn't mean what you said."

The team members covered their mouths and laughed, and Recoba also smiled with his rabbit teeth. Stan's little humor is sometimes the flavoring agent of the locker room.

After wiping the tactical board, Stan makes a few entries—first, the games Barcelona has played this year, second, Xavi's playing time, and third, Xavi's age.

Seeing what Stan wrote, many players were surprised. Barcelona play a game every 3 days on average, and Xavi, who is already 31 years old, starts almost every game. This kind of intensity can only happen to Barcelona.

"For 45 minutes in the second half, Qi Bing, Hassler, and Prahimi each "take care" of Harvey for 3 minutes. You must be like Harvey's personal bodyguards," Stein said.

Everyone thought about it, Stan was ruthless enough, but at the same time they admired Stan's strategy.

Stan knew that with Guangzhou Tianbao's current strength, he could only put all his eggs in one basket to limit the opponent's core, and maybe there was still a little hope. If he played "human sea tactics" against the opponent, he would only be asking for trouble.

"Barcelona is very strong, but remember that they are professional players just like you. They all started their youth training from juggling the ball. They also only have two feet and two hands. Maybe we will lose this game, but we must leave Japan with our heads held high," Stein said.

Stan's words aroused the blood in the players' hearts, yes, it is not easy to meet Barcelona once, if you don't fight now, when will you wait.

*****
At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona replaced "Thiago" with "Pedro". Obviously, the perfectionist Guardiola was still not satisfied with scoring 2 goals in the first half. Seeing Guardiola's substitution, Stan snorted, "Let's go".

Stan replaced "Nei Ke Nan" with "Jeparov" and "Jacob Sim" with "Sun Jihai". Sun Jihai was defending against Messi. Stan was actually very worried. He patted Sun Jihai on the back, and Jihai also felt that Stan was worried about him.

"Boss, don't worry, the elderly are not so easy to bully," Ji Hai said.

Stan laughed, "Well, I know, ginger is still old and spicy".

Seeing the confident smile on Sun Jihai's face, Stan was a little relieved.

*****
At the beginning of the second half, both sides played according to the coach's deployment during the intermission. "Barcelona" side was too "right-leaning" in the first half. "Thiago" and "Abidal" on the left were not very threatening, while Messi and Alves on the right were fully fired.Now that "Pedro" is replaced in the second half, Barcelona flies left and right, with stronger firepower and greater offensive power.

As a result, Stan's deployment was disrupted. The reason why Qi Bing, Hassler, and Prahimi were arranged to guard Harvey was because these three people could get out. But now Qi Bing is facing the very sharp offensive "Saber" Pedro in the second half.

Stan could only temporarily arrange for Prahimi, Hassler to mark Harvey, and Qi Bing to concentrate on playing his right back.

But after Pedro came on the field, he made a strong breakthrough on the left. The young Chinese international "Qi Bing" was a little bit overwhelmed. Li Weifeng saw the situation and consciously helped Qi Bing to help defend. In this way, the combination of the old and new generations of Chinese internationals temporarily restricted Pedro's attack on the left.

Guardiola is really good. His one substitution completely messed up Stan's plan. Hasler was not good at defending, and now Qi Bing can't double up. The only one who can really defend Harvey is Brahimi. Stan's plan was greatly discounted immediately, which made Stan feel unspeakably depressed.

Barcelona's left side cannot be opened for the time being. Xiaobai "Iniesta" passed the ball to his right side with a long pass. Barcelona's right side is invincible open and hang mode. Messi + Alves made all the teams scared.

Iniesta's pass was very accurate, and he just found Messi. With a long pass of 40 meters, Messi lightly unloaded the ball with the back of his foot, and the ball stopped no more than 20 centimeters away from his body.

After the "little flea" took the ball, it accelerated instantly like a Ferrari, and at the same time, the Brazilian Alves had also "plugged in" and was ready to assist at any time.

Jeparov went after Alves, while Messi was left to Sun Jihai. Jeparov glanced sideways at Jihai, and felt a drum in his heart.

Facing Messi, Jihai retreated slowly at his own pace. In the first half, on the bench, Sun Jihai had been observing the situation on the field. He felt that Barcelona’s right attack was actually problematic, because Alves always came up to assist and he occupied the outside line. Then Messi’s only choice was to cut inside and shoot. If Messi also went outside, then the two positions overlapped.

在足球场上，有时1+1=2，有时1+1可能大于2，更有时，1+1有可能小于2，但是如果两个人跑到一个位置上，那么1+1就等于0了。

This is the situation in Barcelona now. Sun Jihai has not played football for nothing for so many years. Although he is old, his rich field experience has given him a strong ability to read the game, and sometimes he can even see the opponent's shortcomings better than the head coach.

Jihai gave Messi the outside line, and he firmly guarded the inside line. No matter how Messi changed his speed or swayed his body, Jihai remained unmoved.

"Why doesn't this number 17 eat fake moves"?Messi thought.

Messi squinted and saw that Alves had already run far away, and now the pass to him is likely to be offside, and his side cannot break through for the time being, but it is impossible for you to stop and think about it on the football field, Messi must make a choice immediately.

In the end, Messi's choice was "forceful suddenness"!
And Sun Jihai had expected it a long time ago, because this was also Messi's only choice. When Messi changed the line and cut inside, Jihai saw it accurately, stretched out his foot, and broke the ball.

When Alves saw Messi conceding the ball, his heart sank. He knew something was wrong. Now the right side of the team was an open field, and Alves ran to the bottom line of Guangzhou Tianbao.

What Alves was worried about, Sun Jihai also saw. After stealing the ball, Jihai didn't choose to pass the ball, but ran forward by himself, because no one was defending in front of him, so Sun Jihai strode forward with the ball.

Seeing that Sun Jihai dribbled the ball past the midfield, the form was very good. Guangzhou Tianbao's Li Qiao and Gudjohnsen ran forward desperately and went to the middle to meet it. It is estimated that Sun Jihai will make a pass from the bottom.

And Jihai is indeed preparing to pass from the bottom. When Sun Jihai was in Manchester City, he was called a panacea. He can play as a full-back or a full-back, but he has never played as a striker. After all, shooting is not his specialty.

Sun Jihai chose a low pass, because he looked at Barcelona's two tall central defenders "Pique" and "Puyol", and felt that there was no chance to pass a high ball.

The football flew towards the arc of the penalty area at high speed. At this time, Li Qiao and Puyol were running towards the ball. Li Qiao looked at Puyol and felt a little timid. He felt that the old Puyol seemed to be able to see through him. He had no chance of winning in front of him. Forwards are like this.

Just when the two were about to touch the football, Puyol looked at Li Qiao and smiled, which seemed to be a warning, "Boy, you are still too tender in front of me."

Just like that, Li Qiao's legs were very rare, and he didn't stop the ball. The ball missed and reached the back point.

But inadvertently, a mistake by Li Qiao caused the ball to leak to Gudjohnsen’s feet at the back point. At this time, Gudjohnsen had no one to defend.

The goal was scored, Guangzhou Tianbao's bench was boiling, Stan rushed into the field imitating Maradona in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, and made a swooping celebration, but the result was that Stan's suit was completely useless.

When Guangzhou Tianbao's players celebrated wildly, Puyol looked at Li Qiao coldly. He didn't know that Li Qiao's missed goal was a mistake.

"That kid's free kick has reached Harvey's level, it seems that I still underestimate him," Puyol thought.

Moving back a ball, Guangzhou Tianbao's morale was boosted, and they began to believe Stan's words that miracles were possible.
