Star Coach

Barcelona has put together a strong lineup, and Jiangshan is looking forward to the battle with Barcelona. He knew that the game was not easy, but Rijkaard's changes in formation today made him impressed.

Puyol's defense of Aguero was definitely a masterstroke. Jiangshan remembers very clearly that in the 2009 Champions League final, Puyol appeared at the right back position to defend Manchester United's Rooney, and he was completely temperless. This move eliminated one of Manchester United's wings and sealed Barcelona's victory.

Of course, it was Guardiola who made the adjustments at that time, and Rijkaard made bold adjustments. Jiangshan thought it was good, so that the game would be exciting.

He licked the corners of his mouth, walked to the sidelines, and called Sanchez and Aguero over. The game was about to start, and the team was about to change.

"You two, change your positions and avoid Puyol's impact. His position selection is great. When facing him, you must pay attention to passing the ball. Remember?"

Sanchez lowered his head and kept nodding, like a chicken pecking at rice, but what he was thinking about was to see if he could directly break through Puyol. Aguero even looked up at Puyol and muttered, "That old man, I will kill him sooner or later."

Before the game started, Jiangshan fine-tuned his tactics, causing Rijkaard, who was not far away, to prick up his ears and unable to hear clearly. The shouts from the Nou Camp were too loud.

"Okay, after introducing Barcelona's lineup, let's take a look at Atletico Madrid's starting lineup. Jiangshan arranged a 4231 formation, which is very targeted." Duan Xuan continued, his heart surging, "At the goalkeeper position, Franco is still As a starter, Abbiati only got a chance to play in the UEFA Cup."

On the back line, there are still the same four players, Setaridis, Pablo, Perea and Peña. This defense line has a high degree of tacit understanding. Mertesacker also only played in the UEFA Cup.

In the defensive midfielder position, Raul Garcia and Khedira played together. The two of them had heavy defensive tasks today and were under a lot of pressure. Torres has a single arrow, and Vidal is lurking behind him. Vidal's task is also not light. He has to guard Xavi.

On both sides are Sanchez and Aguero. Their tasks today are very clear. In addition to attacking, they also have the task of counterattacking.

Full-court counterattack, this is Jiangshan's latest arrangement. It has been trained for several games. Although it appears intermittently, today it is a last resort and must use this defensive tactic.

As Messi matures, his threat has greatly increased. Coupled with the combination of Henry and Eto'o, he is simply invincible. Atletico Madrid does not have super defensive players, let alone troublemakers. Apart from desperately counterattacking and limiting the opponent's offense, other methods are difficult to work. .

Rijkaard saw the position of Sanchez and Aguero and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a trace of regret in his heart. Jiangshan was a little worse than he thought.

"Jiangshan still hasn't understood my thoughts. Puyol is so powerful that you can't imagine. He is Barcelona's most powerful fighter and the commander of the defense."

"Moreover, this guy still trusts Sanchez and Aguero. Their defensive abilities are too poor. Can they prevent Messi and Henry's breakthrough?"

"In this game, if you don't win three goals, you will lose." Rijkaard returned to the coaching bench happily.

Ranking first in the league and having an easy Champions League group stage, his coaching position is becoming more and more stable. As long as he wins a few more championships, he will definitely be able to renew his contract with the team in advance. Lost the league last season? That was just an accident.

Game start.

Atletico Madrid took the lead to kick off, and the team slowly tested and tried to control the ball. However, when it came to the frontcourt, Barcelona's frontcourt counterattack appeared, and it was difficult to penetrate.

Atletico Madrid lost possession of the ball, Barcelona had the ball, and they also discovered that Atletico Madrid's tactics were similar to theirs? Counterattack in the frontcourt?

Haha... Harvey grinned, "Imitate our team, no one can beat us."

Facing Vidal, he looked calm and dunked the ball back to Puyol. Puyol took a few steps and found that Aguero was defending in front of him, which was a bit surprising. For safety reasons, he distributed the ball to Milito behind him, but Milito couldn't control the ball.

Quickly give it to Yaya Toure in front of you, Torres is also interfering. But the effect is not good. Yaya Toure is like a tank. Jiangshan has long known his abilities and is definitely a tough guy, but he can't afford it.

Yaya Toure advanced with the ball, unreasonably. Khedira was unable to defend and was beaten. Then advancing to the front of the penalty area, Yaya Toure distributed the ball to Messi.

Messi broke through from the wing, and it turned out to be the location of Messi's corridor.

Jiangshan arranged several people early and chose their positions to block Messi's path with the ball. Messi was a little surprised that he failed to break through. His magical power has not yet been fully developed and is entering its peak.

Helplessly, Messi lost the ball, which was snatched by Setaridis and Pablo. The ball was distributed in the frontcourt. Garcia passed the ball and immediately fell in front of Aguero.

Aguero tried to break through, but Puyol judged the right direction early and failed.

In the previous ten minutes, both sides continued to test and gradually deepened, but failed to form an effective attack.

Xavi controlled the ball and passed a short pass to Yaya Toure, who passed the ball to Iniesta. Iniesta saw the problem and continued to advance without distributing the ball. Sanchez passed in a flash.

Sanchez's defensive ability is not yet good, but his spirit is commendable, and he hangs behind with gritted teeth.

Iniesta directed the players in front to move, Henry pulled away, and Eto'o retreated slightly, leaving the space in the frontcourt to Iniesta.

Iniesta passed a pass to Henry, passed Khedira, and continued to advance. Appearing at the edge of the penalty area, the pace suddenly quickened and fried meatballs appeared.

Khedira and Perea followed the harassment, but still couldn't grab the ball. They continued to advance and entered the penalty area. Peña took the initiative to come over to assist, and three people defended together. Iniesta sent the ball with difficulty and divided it to the side.

Henry inserted from behind, and at the front of the penalty area, he did not continue to adjust, and shot directly. The ball went straight through the crowd. Franco dived down, but was half a beat late.

The ball had slipped through his fingertips and entered the net along the goal post. Henry scored a goal, rushed up quickly, faced the fans, knelt directly, slid nearly ten meters, and left a straight kneeling line behind him...

Rijkaard jumped up, he was more excited than Henry, "Good job, scored, finally scored!"

In the 19th minute, Iniesta played at a god-level, and the fried meatballs appeared, assisting Henry to break the deadlock and Barcelona took the lead in the score.

1:0, Atletico Madrid fell into a passive situation.

"Oh, this goal? How can it be defended?" Pochettino looked unhappy, "Iniesta, his skills are so great."

Jiang Shan's face remained unchanged, "It's difficult to shut out Barcelona's frontcourt combination, so I asked the players to strengthen their offense, otherwise there is no chance of winning. They won't take a nap against us."

"We are behind now, what should we do?"

"Keep playing, follow my tactics, no other adjustments."
