My name is Colani

Chapter 475 Final 2

Rijkaard also said that such a move was nothing and would not affect Bogan's subjective judgment.

The people of the two clubs had no objection, but the media had a lot of objections. As a result, UEFA had to replace him with his compatriot Assun.

After the game started, both sides seemed very cautious. In fact, this was not their first duel at all. As early as the group stage, the two teams had met and had two confrontations. Barcelona had the upper hand at that time. They won one and drew one, but now it is the final. Rijkaard cannot be so careless. While adhering to his own style, necessary tests are still needed.

Deschamps seemed a bit conservative at the beginning of this game. Barcelona was particularly good at switching between offense and defense in the group stage, and their frequent forward position changes easily brought trouble to the opponent's defense. Eto'o can be a winger like Henry, and he is also a center forward. Ronaldinho is also this kind of player. Rijkaard often asked them to change positions in the second half of this season, which made people hard to defend.

Deschamps' idea at this stage is to compress their space, and then in turn take advantage of the loopholes in Barcelona's attack and defense transition. Your Barcelona's wingers are very tough, and my wingers are not bad either, okay? ! Playing fast and furious, I have no reason to be afraid of you.

Rijkaard emphasized speed more in this game, but Trapani's start made him unable to exert his strength. Barcelona tried to find Trapani's defense gap with fast-paced passes. They did a good job and took advantage of it several times, but Eto'o had little chance to shoot after getting the ball, because Trapani's back line was close to Kameni, and the space for Eto'o to shoot after getting the ball was also limited in the space of sprinting.

This fast-paced pass did not have the ideal state effect, and Ronaldinho's breakthrough was also strictly restricted.

Trapani's playing style is also very direct. The burden of their midfield opening is defense, and they basically don't know how to organize. After getting the ball, their task is to give the ball to the two wingers, reduce the time the ball is at their feet, directly launch an attack, and maximize the time and space for Barcelona to switch from offense to defense.

In the sixth minute, Eto'o and Ronaldinho failed to force a two-on-one pass in the frontcourt. Barzagli intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Essien. Deco was not close to him. After Essien got the ball, he quickly passed it to Ribery. Oleg was opposite Ribery.

The loophole of the 433 formation is also here. Once the attack on the front line is too forward and the midfielder follows up too quickly, the opponent can only rely on the defender to seize such a gap.

Oleg's defensive ability is excellent. He is more stable than Van Bronckhorst on the other side. However, he will still be very strenuous facing Ribery alone.

Sure enough, Ribery changed direction and accelerated, and he got rid of him. When Ribery was about to touch the ball, one foot flew over steadily and shoveled the ball out of the sideline!

Puyol! It was Puyol. Puyol was a man of high skill and courage. He completely left Toni empty and took the lead in solving the siege with his speed and accurate prediction.

Puyol's clearance caused warm applause from the Barcelona fans at the scene. Hugo was quite regretful because he knew that once Ribery really picked up the speed, it would be impossible for Puyol to catch him.

"Obviously, Deschamps has the cunning of Italian football!" Lombardo couldn't help laughing in the live broadcast room. He is also a coach. Of course, he can see that Trapani's simple pass across the midfield is not as simple as being intercepted by Puyol.

This proves that Trapani's tactics are effective. Although Barcelona seems to have mastered the situation, the opportunity they got is not a good angle for the striker.

Rijkaard bit his finger in his mouth. Of course, he also understood Deschamps' tactical intention. Compared with the group match, Deschamps seemed to care more about defense, and his attack method was more direct. In the previous attack, their midfield organizer Pizarro didn't even touch the ball, and passed it to Ribery's feet twice.

Rijkaard began to direct his players to attack in another way, with more possession of the ball, and the formation position was always compact, allowing Ronaldinho, the other two and Deco to tear open Trapani's defense through more frequent position changes, small-scale passes, and exquisite cooperation.

Deschamps was unmoved and insisted that Trapani defend well in the half. Unlike winning the championship in the league, Hugo completely forced Deschamps' team to attack at that time. However, in the Champions League final, Hugo never talked about tactical issues again.

Deschamps certainly couldn't understand the deepest reason, and he couldn't understand Hugo's actions at all.

After getting along with Hugo for a long time, the club's top management understood Hugo's mind very well. He just wanted to suppress Juventus. He definitely didn't want Juventus to be crowned at the Barbera Stadium, so Hugo actually cared more about the championship battle in the last round of the league. Of course, he didn't care about the Champions League final. At least at present, although Hugo also eagerly wanted to win the championship, he still had less expectations than the league championship.

Deschamps was not forced by Hugo before the game. He did not even go to the training base to cheer for everyone. He had dinner with the team in Paris and said a few words to encourage everyone, "Play with style and level!"

Deschamps has a lot of tactical freedom, but his slightly conservative strategy is not a panacea. Both teams have many players who can decide the trend of the game. Even if you defend well, if they seize a chance, you may lose the ball, and then the game will become more complicated.

So everyone knows that sometimes the finals need more luck. Even if the strengths are clear, who dares to underestimate those who can reach the finals? ! Greece in 2004 taught everyone a vivid lesson, and Liverpool last year also taught everyone a vivid lesson!

There are no favorites or dark horses at the Stade de France!

Originally, according to Deschamps' idea, he even wanted to remove Pizarro and put Mascherano on, using the all-defensive midfielder at Highbury, but he hesitated and left Pizarro on the court. Pizarro's confrontation and defense were not as good as Mascherano, but his passing accuracy and vision were better than Mascherano. He could send a fatal long pass in the counterattack, and he was also needed to stabilize the situation on the court when necessary, and control the ball when slowing down the rhythm.

The game passed for more than 20 minutes unknowingly. Trapani's attack was monotonous, and Barcelona tried to break through Trapani's position in various ways.

They have all done it. In the 14th minute, Barcelona almost broke through Trapani's goal. Ronaldinho dribbled continuously on the left side, shook off the passing angle, and sent a long pass. Giuly used his speed advantage on the right side and passed the ball to the goal without stopping. Eto'o's shot in the middle was interfered by Barzagli, and there was no power. The ball accidentally hit the goal post and went out of the bottom line.

Kameni was startled. When picking up the ball, he actually stuck out his tongue to express his relief.

In the 18th minute, Pizarro fouled at the front of the penalty area. Ronaldinho's free kick went directly to the goal, which really tested Kameni. It is not an exaggeration to say that he used all his strength to block the free kick!

These were the two most threatening shots of Barcelona in the first 20 minutes. Of course, there were some long shots from the periphery, such as Van Bommel and Deco, who tried long shots, but the effect was not very good.

As for Trapani, although it was monotonous, it fully demonstrated the breakthrough level of the two wings. There were also two chances, one on the left and one on the right. Ribery and Messi each had a beautiful run. Unfortunately, there were some problems with their final handling of the ball. Under the pressure of Puyol, Ribery forced to shoot when the shooting angle was completely lost. The shot hit the side net and didn't even touch the goal.

The other time was that Messi's pass did not form a tacit understanding with Klose. Klose ran past and the shot was barely weak, and Valdes easily confiscated it.

Compared with Trapani, the opportunity is more regrettable, because if they handled the last pass better, it is entirely possible to score.
