Golden Greenery

Only ten minutes had passed since the start of the game, and Zhuoyang was very sure that Inter Milan was completely different from last season, and the already oppressive restrictions had reached their peak.

Mourinho's team is like this. After the players he needs are fully in place, and after a season of tactical adjustments, the team will become perfect in terms of fragmented zone restrictions. Especially when playing at home, opponents will feel suffocated.

In last season's Champions League final, Ancelotti's magical 'Five No. 10' tactics played a decisive role, but this genius tactic that overwhelmed Barcelona in terms of ball possession cannot be copied and is rare. beg.

Despite repeated setbacks, it is recognized in football that the coach who has the most experience in dealing with Barcelona is still Mourinho. Mourinho went in the opposite direction and went to the other extreme: in the game against Barcelona, ​​his team would completely give up possession and only cut and restrict.

In this way, when Barcelona faces Mourinho's team, the ball possession rate will be surprisingly high. More than 70% is very common, but it will be harder to beat every time. The Barcelona people heard Mourinho's The name Rinho makes my brain hurt.

Because under Mourinho's separation and restriction, Barcelona's possession of the ball is almost all passive and useless control, which goes back and forth but never achieves anything.

Judging from the scene, Barcelona seems to have an absolute advantage, and almost all the back-and-forth competition occurs in Inter Milan's half. But in fact, everything is under Mourinho's control, and the rhythm of the game is completely under the control of Inter Milan.

In the 72nd second after the whistle blew, Messi swung away Lucio and took the first shot after cooperating with Zhuoyang. However, the threat was not great and was easily confiscated by Cesar. One minute later, Zhuoyang counterattacked and passed the ball. Ibrahimovic and Messi moved continuously. Finally, Alves' low shot from the right side of the penalty area slid out of the far post.

After that, Keita made a long pass from the midfielder behind Lucio. Ibrahimovic stopped the ball on his chest 11 meters in front of the goal and volleyed it away with his right foot. In the 9th minute, Harvey made a pass from the right. Zhuoyang, who was fighting with Lucio, shook his head at the penalty spot and was confiscated by Cesar who fell to the right.

Barcelona had many offensive opportunities after the opening, but they were all like these. There was no absolute chance to score. After passing and receiving, they barely completed the shot by relying on their personal ability. The threat was not great.

Inter Milan had its first shot in the 12th minute. Muntari intercepted the ball in midfield and handed it to Sneijder. Inter Milan's counterattack was very sharp. Before Barcelona's rapidly converging formation could be fully in place, Maicon, who had received Sneijder's ball, suddenly shot a long shot from just outside the penalty area.

Valdez's spread-out fingertips were far away from the football. Fortunately, this threatening attack was a little higher.

Everyone has different opinions on who is the best right back in football today, 28-year-old Maicon or 26-year-old Alves, but there is absolutely no doubt that they occupy the top two right backs. Because of the two of them, Pompon Luis, who performed well at right back of Triple Crown winner AC Milan, could only serve as a substitute center back in the Brazilian national team.

For the Brazilian head coach Dunga, Maicon and Alves are the worries of his happiness. Both of them are excellent offensive and defensive players and excellent players on both ends of the court. It is a pity for anyone to be a substitute for the other. In order to solve the tangle of coexistence between the two, Dunga often asked Alves to serve as the right midfielder in the national team, and he was also very qualified.

From this point of view, at least in Dunga's mind, Maicon is the better right back, by a point difference.

Mourinho's Inter Milan in the second period is more extreme than AC Milan. He has "de-Italianized" the defense, and the meritorious veteran Materazzi has completely become a substitute.

From left to right, Chivu, Samuel, Lucio and Maicon are Mourinho's main defense this season, which is quite a slap in the Italian's face. The chain-link concrete defensive system is still there, but the Italians are missing.

Even Inter Milan's starting eleven today were all non-Italian. It was absolutely impossible for this kind of 'rebellious' thing to happen to the top three in the north, but since AC Milan broke through the bottom line in the FA Cup final last season, it no longer seems to be a taboo. Mourinho doesn't care about the pride of Italians either. He and Leonardo are the only foreign coaches among the twenty princes of Serie A.

.

Fifteen years ago, Mourinho, who was proficient in eight languages, was invited by Bobby Robson, the British coach of the Portuguese Super League giant Porto, to serve as a translator. Two years later, he followed Robson to Barcelona. Later, the old coach left get out of class and came to Van Gaal, and Mourinho suddenly became Barcelona's assistant coach.

During his time at Barcelona, ​​assistant coach Mourinho had a good relationship with team captain Guardiola, and the two had many common topics about the team's techniques and tactics. Ten years have passed, and the two men, who are eight years apart in age, have now become famous young coaches in football. The elder Mourinho has frosty white temples, and the young Guardiola is even bald.

The two men's understanding of football techniques and tactics is very different in the game scene, but in fact, their core ideas are exactly the same - control!

Mourinho controls the space on the court, Guardiola controls the ball. Mourinho's control developed to the extreme is separation and restriction, while the pinnacle of Guardiola's version of control is tiki-taka.

Barcelona’s football philosophy comes from ‘Football Saint’ Cruyff. Before Cruyff, Barcelona did not have outstanding football temperament in La Liga. Kesheng said: In my football, the offense will start from the goalkeeper, and the defense will start from the forward.

Rijkaard condensed the essence of Ke Sheng's tactics, compressing the formation on the court, pressing high in the frontcourt and swapping the triangle positions in the midfield and frontcourt. 'Pushing around' and 'no forward' are the tactical characteristics of Jie Shuai's version of Barcelona. . From the scene, Jieshuai's team seems to rely solely on superstars to make the final decision, but in fact, it is his masterful football tactics that allow each player to bring out their best advantages.

Guardiola, on the basis of his predecessors, blurred the division of labor in the midfield and frontcourt, controlled the ball to the extreme, and further compressed the space. Only by controlling the ball at your feet will the opponent have no chance to attack; only by compressing the space can your own technical advantages be fully reflected. The smaller and denser the area, the more it demonstrates Barcelona's ability to pass the ball without interruption.

Close your eyes and listen: -taka…

Control and counter-control, restriction and counter-restriction, the game between Inter Milan and Barcelona was ups and downs amidst the sounds of cuts and kicks. Mourinho and Guardiola are both stubborn people, and both want to win the Champions League straight away and win against strong opponents. So, seventy minutes into the game, the two marshals couldn't hold themselves back and adjusted their personnel in an attempt to change the outcome on the field.

In the 71st minute, Mourinho made the first substitution, Stankovic replaced the midfielder Muntari. Four minutes later, Guardiola was not to be outdone and replaced Keita with Iniesta. Zhuoyang was pulled back behind the trident, and Xiaobai went to the left winger position.

In the 80th minute, Mourinho made another dangerous move. He replaced the Argentine forward Milito, who had done nothing today, with Balotelli, who was unpredictable. Thus, the story of this game really began.
