Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

At first, no one cared about Barcelona's coaching change, thinking it was just an ordinary team building adjustment.

It flourishes and then declines, and it starts again and again. This has always been the case for wealthy families.

Even Camp Nou's attendance rate hit a 10-year low at the beginning of this season. Guardiola led his team to draw and lose in the first two league games, which made the outside world start to see the good show.

But the fun has begun, and it is not a malicious carnival with thousands of people trampling on it, but a skyrocketing success!

In just one season, Barcelona has advanced in both the league and the Champions League, and has already won the Copa del Rey. The debut of the Triple Crown is just around the corner.

When the starting players of both teams came on stage, the focus of Barcelona was Messi.

If Barcelona wins the championship, this will definitely be a season where Messi ascends to the divine level!

However, all the viewers had a strange emotion after seeing Leeds United's starting lineup.

In the past two years, Leeds United has won two consecutive Champions League titles.

They killed Kaka's ascension to the gods in 2007 and Ronaldo's ascension to the gods in 2008.

Will Messi’s ascension to the gods be hindered this year?

Ragnarok started in 2006 when Zidane retired.

Ronaldo's failed trip to the 2006 World Cup, and Ronaldinho's fall in the following two years.

Make people more willing to believe that a new era is coming.

In the Mesozoic era, the new king is about to seize power!

But two years later, people were surprised to find that at Ragnarok, the old gods were still shining with dazzling light.

Ronaldo made history by winning the Ballon d'Or four times.

Even though the performance this season has become more and more monotonous, there are signs of falling off the altar.

But Ronaldinho, who was abandoned by Barcelona and came to serve with piety, has become a superstar who is expected to return to the divine level!

The contest between Leeds United and Barcelona is more like a battle between the old and new order of the times!

"Good evening to all fans in white! The final battle of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League will be held today. I, my little chubby guy, and my glasses will be broadcasting this pinnacle showdown between Leeds United and Barcelona live at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy!"

"Everyone says that Guardiola's Barcelona will lead the football world and trigger the first technical and tactical changes in football, but as my brother Hao said before the game, it doesn't matter what others say, we just want the championship!"

“By defeating Barcelona today, we will achieve our third consecutive Champions League title!

If Barcelona succeeds in slaying the dragon, Messi and Guardiola will stand on the cusp of the times and lead the way! "

“Introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Leeds United started 442.

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Kelly, Kompany, Helguera, Baines.

Midfielder: Deisler, Modric, Ze Roberto, Van Bronckhorst.

Forwards: Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.

Barcelona starting 433.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Defenders: Pique, Puyol, Yaya Toure, Silvio.

Midfielder: Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi.

Forwards: Messi, Eto'o, Henry.

For Barcelona, ​​Dani Alves is injured and unable to play, and Pique plays a guest role as right back.

But it is more like an arrangement to restrain Ronaldinho from improving defensive intensity.

Well, the peak showdown of this season’s Champions League final is about to begin. Let’s cheer for the Whites to win three consecutive championships and hit a new height in team history! "

Accompanied by a whistle from the Swiss referee.

The game officially begins.

Leeds United took the lead in shrinking their formation. Needless to say, Barcelona's offensive organization was stable, smooth, precise and delicate.

Guardiola's structural balance in the formation still follows very reasonable principles.

Busquets is a defensive midfielder, but he has La Masia pedigree and has excellent foot skills and good game reading ability.

Two years ago, Shen Hao made an offer of up to 3000 million euros for Busquets, who had no experience in a top league.

Barcelona did not release him, and Guardiola also tried his best to cultivate Busquets in Barcelona's B team, so he joined the first team and directly promoted Busquets to the level of the main force.

As a central midfielder, Xavi has officially become the brains of the team.

As an attacking midfielder, Iniesta not only cooperates seamlessly with Xavi with his flexible and skillful ball control ability, but also has the ability to break through and bring changes to the team's offense.

After the midfield is sorted out, the team's system can operate efficiently.

Barcelona's build-up had the ball, but Leeds chose not to intrude.

The defenders and midfielders retreat to the 35-yard area in front of the goal.

How Barcelona controls the ball in outside areas and how it passes is up to them.

So when Barcelona launched a threatening offensive, what they faced was actually the problem of breaking through the dense defense.

Messi received Xavi's pass on the right and dribbled forward.

What he faced was the triangle defense of Van Bronckhorst, Ze Roberto, and Baines.

He rushed inside to create a containment and then quickly passed the ball to the center.

At this time, Modric and Deisler on the right moved to the center at the same time to form a double interception and the defensive cooperation restricted Iniesta.

When Iniesta saw an opportunity on the left, he passed the ball back when Deisler intercepted him head-on.

As soon as he passed the ball back, the next second the ball flew to the left outside the penalty area.

Xavi's passes are precise and quick.

Henry stopped and tried to pass Kelly on the wing outside the penalty area, but Kelly immediately pulled inward. Henry saw this and decisively spiked the ball toward the baseline. Kelly retreated and turned around to block the opponent and cross the baseline. line.

Seeing that the opponent was blocking but not taking the initiative to intercept, Henry passed the ball first.

Eto'o outflanks the ball in the middle.

As a result, Neuer went out and easily grabbed the ball in front of him.

Guardiola looked solemn.

At the same time, I feel somewhat arrogant in my heart.

When he was playing in the Premier League for Leeds United, Leeds United were playing defensive counterattack.

Three years later, Leeds United still played defensive counterattack in the Champions League final.

It seems that Leeds United have not made much progress.

At least on a technical and tactical level.

And the Barcelona he leads are playing dreamlike football where mercury is flowing.

It seems that in terms of attainments, he dare not say that he is extraordinary or holy, at least he is different.

This will mark him as exceptional, and naturally comes with a bit of inner condescension.

Not only does Barcelona have a strong team's overall offensive organization, its passing success rate represents its ability to control the ball, and its high passing frequency reveals their ability to tear apart the opponent's defense.

In addition, Messi Henry's individual combat ability will be easier to achieve unexpected results with the support of the team.

In defense, Barcelona presses from a high position and restricts the opponent's offensive organization. What matters is time and quality.

Apply pressure immediately and quickly fight for the zone defense. If the fight fails, a foul will be taken immediately to buy time for the team to retreat and strengthen defense.

The connection between offense and defense has formed a powerful system with extremely high efficiency.

When Leeds United launched an attack from the backcourt, Ronaldinho on the left side of the frontcourt would of course be restricted. Deisler ran to the right and then sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

The football came to Ronaldo's feet, but Ronaldo was also trapped in a tight siege.

Although he deceived Yaya Toure's center of gravity by dribbling forward and changing direction, Busquets poked the ball away from the side.

Barcelona defended successfully with seemingly ease.

This gave Barcelona fans a surge of stronger confidence.

Barcelona quickly launched an offensive.

After the organization advanced to the frontcourt, Iniesta was the first to discover Leeds United's targeted defensive deployment.

To deal with him, Leeds United will press, but to deal with Messi and Henry, they will block and restrict space.

This differential treatment is based on player ability.

Iniesta has the ability to escape, but he does not have the ability to continuously break through. At least in this level of competition, it is unrealistic for him to pass five levels and defeat six generals.

Both Henry and Messi have this ability, so when defending them, they mainly use the backhand, while against Iniesta, they use the first move.

Silvio assisted to the left side of the frontcourt. Under Henry's cover, he went down smoothly, but did not pass the ball. Instead, he formed a containment and feint and then quickly passed the ball back.

Iniesta took the initiative to respond and retreated instead of advancing. He turned around and passed the ball to find Xavi. The latter stopped the ball to adjust and sent a precise mid-range diagonal pass to the ground.

Messi cut inside to the front and right area of ​​the penalty area, took the ball and immediately accelerated forward to break through Ze Roberto. Baines, who shrank into the penalty area, immediately defended.

As soon as Messi entered the penalty area, he changed the direction of the ball without slowing down and completed the dodge. Helguera thought that his blocking and interception was foolproof, but Messi stopped and speeded up the ball and changed the direction of the cross.

Deceived Helguera's center of gravity and found a shooting angle in the middle.

Decisive kick to shoot.

The football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

Neuer made a flying save and caught the ball with both hands!

"Wow! Neuer's save feels very solid!"

"Messi's breakthrough was also very exciting. It can be said that he got rid of and broke through in succession, passing three people!"

See the danger Barcelona created.

Shen Hao gestured to the team on the sidelines.

The formation shrank further.

From intensive defense of 35 yards in front of the goal to 30 yards in front of the goal!

During the preparation stage, Shen Hao worked hard on the team's defensive space positioning.

Leeds United's attack remains simple and doesn't look like much of a threat.

Modric made a long pass from the backcourt to find Ronaldinho, but the flight path of the football was a bit far, causing the football to fall. Pique was already engaged in a personal confrontation with Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho barely fought for the ball, but was unable to control it. The ball he pushed was controlled by Busquets.

Barcelona took their time building up the attack.

The situation in the game seemed to be completely under Barcelona's control.

Leeds United struggled to threaten their goal, but Barcelona was able to constantly attack Leeds United's defense.

Only this time when Henry tried to break in from the left, he gave up.

Because Leeds United's intensive defense further compressed the space, he could not see the ideal breakthrough environment.

The same thing happens on the right.

Barcelona passed the ball back and forth to tear apart the defense, but Leeds United's overall defense did not move very frequently because it was shrinking to the center as much as possible and adopting an attitude close to giving up on the outside.

Iniesta tried to receive Messi's pass and suddenly sent a through ball.

Eto'o's diagonal pass behind Helguera was successful in countering offside.

But there was not much space behind the Leeds United defense, so when he caught up with the ball, Neuer was already in front of him.

Eto'o also tried to pass Neuer, but after taking a step forward to the front right baseline, Neuer directly extended his legs to destroy the ball to the side.

Leeds United fans took a deep breath and felt their scalp numb.

Passive scenes often bring about emotional depression.

However, Shen Hao stood still and supervised the battle with his hands behind his back, looking very calm.

Barcelona's passing control is very strong.

This strength is to maximize the team's overall basic passing ability.

Looking at European football, there is no other team that has a higher success rate in team passing, success rate in group passing and cutting, and a higher success rate in kicking the ball.

It seems that all of them are technically proficient. Without a pair of brushes at their feet, it is impossible to gain a foothold in this team.

There is a saying on the green field.

No matter how fast a person runs, he is not as fast as the ball.

So if we adopt an active defensive strategy to fight, intercept, and harass, can the team's speed be faster than the opponent's passing to divert the offense?

The Leeds tyrant who has always been described as arrogant by the media.

But arrogance is rarely truly reflected on the pitch.

For Barcelona to be able to let the Champions League champions of the past two years put down their bodies and passively take beatings, there is absolutely no arrogance in their calmness and flexibility.

Leeds United continued to play simple fast breaks, but were unable to form a threatening offensive.

Busquets, Yaya Toure, Puyol, and Pique successfully blocked Ronaldinho and Ronaldo in the backcourt.

Ronaldinho couldn't even control the ball.

Guardiola may be immersed in the anticipation of every Barcelona attack, hoping that the team can break Leeds United's goal.

But even the football critics and professional reporters in the media gallery noticed that something was wrong.

For a star like Ronaldinho, if he fails to respond successfully three times in a row, he should expand his range of activities to respond.

But Ronaldinho remained indifferent, as if he was playing football.

If this were placed in a normal game, it wouldn't matter.

But the problem is...this is the Champions League final.

Why do you look so resigned and at ease?

There is only one reason.

Leeds United are waiting.

Waiting for a time they think is more ideal to attack.

Despite his young age, the Leeds Tyrant still had a clean beard today and looked like a handsome boy.

But all the football critics and reporters who have followed Leeds United know that this guy is absolutely scheming!

Messi encountered a denser siege on the right side of the frontcourt. He broke through from the outside on the right and passed the ball in front of the baseline.

As a result, the football that flew into the penalty area was picked out of the air by Neuer again.

Leeds United's intensive defense made Barcelona somewhat helpless.

They started to have a headache as if they had encountered Chelsea.

suddenly.

Neuer rushed to the edge of the penalty area and threw the ball with great force, instigating Leeds United's counterattack!

Naturally, Barcelona's frontcourt players did not counterattack and quickly retreated.

The midfielders and backfielders retreated towards Ronaldinho and Ronaldo to block the ball.

But Neuer's hand throw ball missed the right side of the midfield.

The ball flew into the path of his German compatriot Deisler.

Deisler stopped and quickly advanced the counterattack!

In an instant, Guardiola gasped.

At this moment, Leeds United's counterattack was galloping like a wild horse on the right.

Busquets and Yaya Toure quickly adjusted their direction during the retreat.

As soon as they moved, the siege on Ronaldo and Ronaldinho was over.

Deisler reached the dangerous area with the ball, and Busquets and Xavi attacked from the side.

The moment of close combat is about to begin.

Deisler sent a direct pass to the ground.

Ronaldo moved to the penalty area line, Puyol and Yaya Toure closed the door to defend.

Ronaldo turned his back to the incoming football, knocked the ball with his right heel and passed it diagonally back.

Puyol turned his eyes and saw Ronaldinho running toward him!

Pique rushed diagonally to intercept with a sniper.

He was even prepared to commit a foul.

However, Ronaldinho changed the direction of the ball the moment he touched it, widening the distance between him and him.

Puyol defended cautiously, but Ronaldinho's pace was faster and he changed direction and cut across from him at an angle before sending a through ball.

Ronaldo pushed forward and the ball rolled from behind.

It's single-handed!

It was too late for Yaya Toure to turn around.

Valdes abandoned the goal and Ronaldo kicked the ball without stopping.

The ball was not very fast, but it had a tricky angle and rolled straight towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Valdez's save was feeble.

The moment the football rolls into the goal.

The Olympic Stadium in Rome erupted with earth-shaking cheers.

After Shen Hao saw the referee's gesture indicating that the goal was valid, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Transmission control?

hum!
