Chapter 829: Main Battle with Barcelona 2
Except for a great opportunity missed by Suarez less than two minutes into the game, it was hard to tell which team had the upper hand. Barcelona had a slightly higher possession rate, but they were not very smooth in their attack and were disturbed by Trapani's midfield, so they didn't get many chances to shoot.
Barcelona gradually adapted to Trapani's rhythm, and Wenger soon stopped implementing the high-pressure tactics. When the opponent controlled the ball, the formation was somewhat retracted.
Trapani's retraction greatly increased Barcelona's possession rate, but Guardiola was also not willing to take it lightly. Barcelona mainly controlled the ball, with fewer risky forward passes and more lateral passes.
Barcelona was more accustomed to this trick. When they passed the ball so hard that it made people sleepy, they would suddenly give you a pass that made people unable to defend themselves.
Hugo didn't like Barcelona's style very much. They seemed to be boiling frogs in warm water, killing the game unknowingly, but was Trapani really a frog? !
Trapani was definitely not a frog, and Wenger had his own tricks.
In the 21st minute, Barcelona got the ball again and started a drowsy back pass. Trapani seemed to be retreating step by step, but when Barcelona pushed the ball forward about 40 meters, Trapani suddenly exerted force, pressed forward, and fiercely counter-robbed. Wenger must have planned this in advance. Trapani's players also had a tacit understanding. Under pressure, the back pass was wrong, and Di Maria fell to the ground and intercepted successfully.
Cazorla rushed up and took the lead in passing the ball before Xavi tackled, hitting the back of Barcelona's defense. He gave enough lead time. Adriano, who was defending Messi on the left, was actually keeping a close eye on Messi, but a mistake in the middle distracted him from paying attention to the situation in the middle. When he realized that it was not good, Messi's counter-offside had already succeeded.
Messi dribbled the ball smoothly and did not encounter any obstruction at all. Barcelona's entire back line was not omnipotent in predicting and defending danger. Trapani's sudden force really disrupted their rhythm.
There was no suspense. Valdés, who chose to attack, was humiliated by Messi. Valdés was not tall like Kameni, but he chose to attack. Messi made a lob shot, taking advantage of Valdés' short stature.
Messi ran to the corner with his arms open, sliding towards the Trapani fans, who cheered and applauded loudly to welcome their hero.
"Beautiful goal! Wonderful goal! I can't find any words to describe this wonderful moment at this moment, let's shout together! Lionel... Messi!" Agostino was excited in the live broadcast room.
Hugo and the guests around him high-fived to celebrate, Wenger smiled happily on the sidelines, and Guardiola was a little emotional and very dissatisfied with the team's mistakes.
Of course, he has realized that Barcelona's passing and control at this moment is a joke. It is not others who are anesthetized, but themselves. When Barcelona players thought they had entered normal operation, Trapani, who is good at siege and rob, suddenly exerted his strength and took advantage of their slackness to cause a fatal blow.
This is the consequence of Barcelona underestimating Trapani's explosive power!
"Don't be anxious, why are you in a hurry to deal with the ball?! Your position is very important, try to let Xavi handle the ball!" Guardiola called Keita over to give instructions.
I don't want to be anxious, but they quickly surrounded me, and I can't do anything! Keita said in his heart that he was not willing to admit this mistake. Guardiola said all beautiful things, but under the pressure of the opponent, the distance was not maintained well, and the connection between each other was not done well.
After the restart, Trapani immediately took the opportunity to play against Barcelona, which was a bit like striking while the iron was hot. Barcelona was a bit flustered. They were praised by the outside world and were a rival of Trapani. However, it is undeniable that Trapani's team still put a lot of pressure on people. Barcelona was like this. After losing the ball, they felt that their pressure was even greater, so they were a bit out of shape.
Trapani created two good opportunities, but unfortunately they did not seize them. Barcelona quickly adjusted and they also created two opportunities by taking advantage of Trapani's pressure, but they also failed to seize them.
Gradually, the game became a bit dull. Time passed quickly. Before I knew it, Thomson blew the whistle to end the game. The two teams committed quite a few fouls in the first half.
Both teams tried to stay away from their own penalty areas in choosing the foul locations. There were fewer fouls in dangerous areas, and the threats of set pieces were not great. The scale of the actions of both sides was relatively mild and not big, so Thomson did not play a single card.
Overall, the first half of the game made Trapani very satisfied. Hugo also smiled in the stands. He had actually watched some Barcelona games before. Compared with other opponents, Barcelona played more cautiously in this game, and Trapani was the same. Both sides were very careful.
The first part of the game was lively, but the latter part was relatively dull. Both sides did not make many mistakes.
…
Guardiola explained his tactics in the away team's locker room. He hoped that the frontcourt would be more flexible and avoid the opponent's defense. When necessary, even the two sides should strengthen the exchange to disrupt Trapani's defensive rhythm. Barcelona is not without the ability to attack. The key is that everyone from Guardiola to the players below is still in fear. The opponent is not a weak team. The loss of the ball in the first half is a lesson. They can't afford to deploy quickly. Wenger's team is really unmatched in the ability to seize loopholes in offense and defense conversion.
Barcelona's previous all-out attack and defense tactics failed in an instant, but that moment was fatal.
Guardiola did not want to attack with all his strength. This was Trapani's home court. A goal loss was not a disadvantage that Barcelona could not recover from. Keeping the current posture and playing with his own characteristics, Guardiola believed that his disciples could equalize the score.
In the home team's locker room, Wenger not only praised his disciples' performance in the first half, but also made some fine-tuning to the tactics in the second half. The formation in the second half will be more contracted, but that is also a limited contraction, to lure Barcelona to attack forward. Trapani must grasp the moment between the attack and defense transition. Facts have proved that Barcelona will also have loopholes in the attack and defense transition.
The second half of the game started soon. The fans had returned to their seats. The players of both sides stood in the center circle. Trapani took the lead in kicking off. Some people said that Trapani and Barcelona were close in their usual tactics. There was some truth, but it was not entirely true. Wenger's team would use long passes, but Barcelona used them much less than Trapani.
After Trapani kicked off, Barcelona immediately deployed their formation to press high. When Trapani passed the ball back to the backcourt, Barzagli kicked it to the frontcourt to find Suarez. Suarez is at least 1.8 meters tall, and he often uses long passes in Uruguay. Suarez is a passionate player who is not afraid of confrontation, so he can sometimes be used as a fulcrum.
But Barcelona will not have such a player. Long passes to find strikers to compete for headers are bound to be blind. Villa is a good striker, but he is not a striker who competes for headers, so Barcelona rarely uses this kind of play. Even Guardiola resolutely prevents his players from using this tactic.
After a 15-minute break, the players on both sides returned to the court. Suarez's first header was hit by Pique. Pique jumped high and pressed Suarez. Suarez fell to the ground. Thomson gave Trapani a set-piece in the frontcourt. Pique was very dissatisfied. He thought Suarez was a glass man who would fall down at the touch.
Pique, who looked angry, was booed by the fans of Trapani Stadium. Fortunately, Thomson was still a good man and did not show Pique a yellow card.
Cazorla's set-piece was of extremely high quality this time. He accurately found Boateng who was behind him, but Boateng was not fully prepared. When no one was guarding him, he actually headed the ball high over the crossbar, wasting the expressions of Trapani fans.
