Football: Start 99 explosive, shocked Messi

Valverde is not a true master tactician, but he has a very peculiar skill. He was always able to bring all kinds of players into his own set.

Today, facing Athletic Bilbao, Valverde can be regarded as a masterpiece.

In terms of player configuration on both sides, Barcelona is undoubtedly the more dominant side.

Although the players on the opposite side also know his style very well, after all, Barcelona have an absolute advantage in terms of the quality of the players, and they should be the dominant side anyway.

Therefore, from the beginning of the game, Valverde's tactics showed a high degree of targeting.

Bilbao's two midfielders are not young, which makes it impossible for them to maintain the same frequency of confrontation and sprinting as youngsters.

The aging of human body functions is irreversible, and once the body functions are aging, then in terms of speed and strength, you can only choose one of the two.

It is precisely because of this that Valverde chose to return Messi to the pseudo-number nine position that has not been used for many years in this game.

Messi was in the middle, but pulled back, which made Barcelona's central forward position effectively form a position similar to that of a forward back.

Messi's retreat to the midfield to pick up the ball made Barcelona's offensive and defensive transitions sharper.

And because the two midfielders are getting older, they can't keep up with Barcelona's attacks through two very fast strikers, Malone and Deulofeu, who frequently cut back into the ribs of the midfield.

The technical characteristics of Laporte, Valverde is well known.

His frontal defensive ability is not particularly outstanding, but his skills at his feet are excellent, and his height and speed can only be regarded as impressive

, so in this game, as Bilbao's key central defender Laporte. On the contrary, it has become the target of Valverde's treatment

as the basis for the construction of the backfield, and the entire system of Bilbao's backfield is configured around Laporte, so as long as Laporte's point is broken, Bilbao's backline can be said to be unimpeded.

In the 14th minute of the game, Barceló finally responded forcefully to the threat created by Bilbao in the opening ten minutes.

Messi's retreat took the ball as if it were a god's vision, and after receiving the ball, a turn wiped past midfielder San Jose, and then sent a very penetrating direct pass.

"Deulofeu started on the wing! His speed is very fast, and Bilbao's side can't keep up with him at all! With

Messi's God-like vision, De Ulofeu successfully completed the starting speed, and used his absolute speed advantage to easily open up space on the wing to complete the sprint.

And Malone also stepped in at this time, creating a passing point for Deulofeu.

In the face of a sudden offensive and defensive switch, the Bilbao defense line was instantly in turmoil, and Laporte retreated as quickly as possible.

But Messi is very experienced, always following Laporte, making sure he is always in a position that is not offside, and once Dulofeu chooses to pass the ball, he can throw Laporte away with a sudden acceleration.

After going down to the bottom line, Deulofeu opted for a low cross and went straight to the centre to find Messi. Seeing this, Laporte chose to block it without

hesitation
