Star Coach

(I’ve been working overtime until now, so I can’t take care of the update, sorry. Thanks to Xiancai18888, who was born in the year of the dragon for the reward.)

Atletico Madrid is leading the league and has won all its first five league games. Neither Guardiola nor Ramos can shake their leading position.

Of course, the league has only gone through five rounds, and there are still many opportunities to overtake later. In the next two rounds of the league, Barcelona and Real Madrid will challenge Atletico Madrid at the top of the list (the rounds in the previous chapter were written incorrectly and have been corrected).

After training, Jiang Shan faced the players, "The next two weeks will be the hardest time for everyone. We have to face the challenges of Barcelona and Real Madrid one after another, and there is also a game against Liverpool in between. Everyone has to Lift your spirits."

Guardiola's ability to combine is also good. In just a few games and several personnel adjustments, he has achieved three consecutive victories, accumulating 10 points in 5 games, ranking 5th in the league, and lagging behind Real Madrid.

He was looking forward to the collision with Jiangshan. He also gave a wonderful speech to the team and paid special attention to Yaya Toure, "I will let you start in this game. I hope you will keep your position and focus on defense. Yes, just leave it to the frontcourt players.”

He was still worried that Busquets could not withstand the pressure, and he was worried that Jiangshan had already made arrangements for Busquets and was preparing to surprise Jiangshan.

Entering the Camp Nou stadium, there was thunderous applause. Guardiola has been accepted by the fans. His playing style is quite beautiful. He controls the ball at his feet and is very dominant.

Fans have experienced this feeling of being in control before with AC Milan. Of course, when the country was in Monaco, the Ligue 1 team also experienced the fear of being dominated. However, the influence of Ligue 1 is small, and Monaco’s initiative is very small. Get less attention.

"Coach Jiangshan, thank you for your generous words. You let me take full control of the team." Guardiola hugged Jiangshan. "This is my opportunity to challenge you. I will not miss it."

Jiang Shan was also very excited. He did not stop Barcelona's reinforcements. The purpose was to see Guardiola's strength. It was a blessing to have a strong opponent.

Moreover, Jiangshan is so successful that if he wants to stay hungry, he must accept challenges from various princes. Guardiola is not the first, nor will he be the last.

"I'm optimistic about you, you will succeed in Barcelona. However, it will not be easy to beat me."

"I will do it, I believe it." Guardiola shook his shoulders, "You are my biggest goal, and your success makes me full of fighting spirit."

Guardiola has put together a strong lineup, Barcelona's main lineup, Messi has appeared at the center position, next to Eto'o and Henry, several people can change positions at any time, and Messi appears at the center position, More difficult to deal with.

At the goalkeeper position, Valdes started the game, and the defense was Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Alves. The defense of the six-time champion is standard, and the strong defense is difficult to deal with.

The midfield trio, Iniesta, Yaya Toure and Xavi, are all powerful organizers and have the ability to control the ball. They are the best starters for any team.

Jiangshan did not neglect at all, they also put their best efforts, goalkeeper Franco, on the back line, Ivanovic paired with Pablo, Perea and Peña, Setaridis and Bender sat on the bench .

The midfield trio of Khedira, Garcia and Vidal are also both offensive and defensive, but they are much worse than Barcelona's midfield lineup. In the frontcourt trio, Diego Costa started, paired with Sanchez and Aguero.

Costa has adapted to Jiangshan's tactical arrangements. He plays an obvious role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt, and he plays smart and knows how to use the rules, but he is easy to get cards.

When the game started, Barcelona fans couldn't wait to watch the team control the ball and slowly wear down their opponents.

But, today, the situation seems to be different.

The control the fans imagined did not appear. There were only meaningless backcourt moves. Unable to break into Atletico Madrid's backcourt, they just stayed outside and couldn't get in. Barcelona felt a bit weak.

Jiang Shan stood on the sidelines and commanded the team easily. He had arranged the tactics last season and had been waiting for Barcelona to come. Guardiola obviously didn't feel relaxed, and was a little nervous. He kept directing the team, letting Xavi have more possession of the ball, and then letting Iniesta advance.

It's a pity that Atletico Madrid's players are constantly moving, and they can always block the movement of Barcelona players. Xavi's pass is also easily intercepted, not as easy as before.

Guardiola quietly stared at Jiangshan, "His defensive counterattacks are getting stronger and stronger. Today's game is not easy to play." Then he shouted, "Messi, retreat, you are a free man. Henry and Eto'o step up Run."

Messi can be relied on, he trusts the little flea.

Messi gritted his teeth, rushed over, held the ball, and broke through.

"Snapped"

Khedira saw the right moment, stepped down, intercepted the ball directly, touched the ball first, and then Messi fell. Want to foul? No chance.

Guardiola pursed his lips, "Is something wrong? It's difficult to get in. Atletico Madrid's defense is too tight, there is no gap at all."

Even small fleas can't get through it, let alone other people. Atletico Madrid players were so excited today that they had only one idea, which was to kill Barcelona.

The players are very active in running and counterattacking. As long as there is a loophole, someone will make up for it. The rhythm is quite tight.

Barcelona couldn't open the situation, Atletico's control range was gradually expanding, and they had gradually pressed past the half court. Barcelona's control was further curbed, and Barcelona fans felt incredible.

Khedira received the ball and passed it out. Sanchez on the wing was holding the ball and suddenly passed it to the middle. Vidal went up and faced Yaya Toure. He continued to pass the ball without any awareness of hard confrontation.

Yaya Toure was a little slower, and the ball had already fallen to Costa's feet. Costa leaned on Pique. The young Pique was a little struggling to face the young Costa.

Costa turned around with Pique. So far in the game, he has eaten Pique twice in a row. Pique was very depressed, "I have clearly seen through his movements, but I just can't stand his strong body."

Puyol wanted to come over to help, but Aguero's ghost-like running made him afraid to act.

Costa rushed in, and in the penalty area, he suddenly leaned back, Pique took a step back, and Costa turned around and could shoot, looking at the far corner. Valdés flew out, but unfortunately, the ball was in the near corner.

Costa can deceive people.

The ball went into the net without any surprise. In the 30th minute of the game, the score finally changed. Atletico scored the first goal and led Barcelona 1:0.

Guardiola was very uncomfortable on the sidelines and kicked the water cup. He was almost warned by the fourth official.

"It's not easy. Atletico is difficult to deal with." Guardiola met Jiangshan for the first time and seemed unprepared.
