Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 307 Barcelona, ​​which had high hopes from La Liga, fell once again...

"Barcelona's team's return speed is too slow! If in the Premier League, a team faced Chelsea with this level of return, it would be unqualified!

Alves and Alba should consider whether to actively participate in the attack.

Enrique also needs to weigh it up. In this situation, as long as Barcelona concedes one more goal, it will be difficult for Barcelona to reverse the comeback at Stamford Bridge in the second round..."

Zhan Jun, who had just celebrated passionately for Li Ang's wonderful assist again, gradually calmed down at this moment and gave a slightly objective explanation.

However, Director Zhang Luzhang, who was sitting next to him at this moment, was completely rude and directly pointed out the gap between Barcelona and Chelsea at the tactical level.

"Enrique is very practical. Compared with his predecessor Martino, he is willing to put down his body and fight back when facing Chelsea, which is actually a good thing for Barcelona.

But to be honest, many current head coaches in La Liga still need to take a closer look at the tactical changes and developments of the top teams in the Premier League.

In the past few seasons, we can say that the forefront of tactical changes in world football was in La Liga, with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​followed by Bayern, who also won the Champions League after the tactical changes.

But this main position for tactical change is not static. Now the technical and tactical play of Chelsea and Manchester City is obviously ahead of other teams. If Enrique wants to learn, he must learn more thoroughly!

You only learn to counterattack, but you don’t pay close attention to the efficiency of offense and defense conversion. With the same set of play, Chelsea is like a teacher, and you, a student who has only learned half of the theory, are about to go on stage to challenge, how can you possibly win? Woolen cloth?

If Barcelona wants to return to its peak, it must work hard on tactical changes. Everyone from the players to the coaching staff must pay attention to completely reversing their inherent set of tactical ideas.

When it comes to the overall framework of the entire team building, Barcelona has no problem. Their current lineup, with the addition of more young midfielders and centers, is still very competitive.

But the most important thing is this tactical idea. It's already 2015, and Barcelona really need to put aside the pride they played in 2011 and start over again in a down-to-earth manner.

A dynasty can collapse, but it can also be rebuilt. Whatever outcome you want, you really have to control it yourself! "

When Director Zhang said this, he may have thought of Milan's current situation, and his tone was inevitably a little more serious.

As for Barcelona's current problems in the team, he can only point it out. If you want to dig deeper, Barcelona's move from defense to midfield is not just as simple as adding young newcomers.

After all, the fans could clearly see the two quick counterattacks that Chelsea succeeded in the first half and the weak role of Iniesta and Raphinha in the return defense.

Alves and Alba are both too strong in offensive attributes. Now that Alves is getting older, he needs a strong midfielder to help him fill his position.

Professor Bu's positional sense is still very good. It is obviously very unfair to throw all the blame for the midfield loss on him.

If he can be paired with a partner who is energetic, flexible and active defensively, his performance can be even better.

After all, there can be players with physical fitness or technical deficiencies in a team. What is more important is the complementary characteristics of the players' partners.

If they can't complement each other, then they should be removed. Those who are capable will continue to start. If the shortcomings are serious and cannot be made up for, then they should be replaced honestly.

Barcelona is such a big club and they have to spend money in the transfer market. There are so many outstanding young players. It is better to try and make mistakes in two transfer windows than to continue to stick to the old lineup.

Just like Mascherano, a defensive player with obvious flaws, in certain games, it is really best not to start.

As soon as he and Pique started, there were three players in Barcelona's defense who were less than 1.75 meters tall!

It's usually okay to rely on Pique alone to support the air defense, but the Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp have now seen what happens when they encounter Chelsea's unreasonable high-altitude ball.

Enrique was afraid of being hit anyway. At this time, he directly asked Mathieu to go to the sidelines to warm up, and barely kept his head clear and called Xavi back to the bench.

He finally understood that even if Barcelona wanted to focus on offense in today's game, it might not be a good idea to let Iniesta and Xavi play together.

Both of them, who are over 30 years old, are basically unable to play continuous high-intensity games for more than 90 minutes.

Raphinha seems to be useless at the moment. With these two or three cards in his hand, no matter how Enrique plays, he will not be able to escape the fate of being scattered in the middle by Chelsea.

So this tactic has changed over and over again, but it still goes back to the problem at the beginning of the game.

The only solution for Barcelona to break the game is to let Chelsea take the initiative to attack and expose the gaps in the defense, and then Barcelona will counterattack from the wing to find opportunities to break the balance of the game.

But Chelsea was not easily fooled. They took over the ball on the surface, but actually seized the opportunity to switch offense and defense after Barcelona failed to counterattack.

After successfully scoring the first goal, Chelsea will no longer take risks and take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, Barcelona's most likely tactics to defeat Chelsea at home will not work.

In the end, they had to press out and besiege Chelsea, but they did not have a strong center, and they could not play simple and clear attacking tactics.

Chelsea's three-layer defense cannot be penetrated, and the empty defense is still a concern. It is a dilemma, no matter how you play, it will be wrong!

Before the game restarted, Enrique could only replace Mascherano with Martino to increase the height of the defense.

But he can't make up for the defensive intensity in the midfield.

I can't find any helper for Busquets, there is really no one available!

Whether it is Xavi or the younger Roberto, their abilities on the defensive end are relatively limited.

Enrique can only take one step at a time.

Perhaps it is what many Barcelona fans longed for before the game.

Expect Messi to explode in the second half of the game, take over the rhythm of the game, and then forcefully lead Barcelona to suppress Chelsea.

Such a fantasy might seem unreliable in normal times, but in this truly desperate moment, Enrique felt that he could expect a hand!

After replacing Mathieu, Barcelona's backcourt air defense capabilities have indeed improved a lot.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that Chelsea once again restrained its counterattack firepower and was content with a 2-0 halftime lead.

The Barcelona fans at the scene all let out a sigh of relief when the referee blew the half-time whistle.

They had no intention of booing Chelsea's main players who were celebrating on the spot. They only hoped that Enrique could come up with a new and effective tactical plan during the halftime break.

And under this kind of nervous waiting, time passed very quickly, and fifteen minutes almost flew by.

The director also very discerningly focused the camera on the players of the two teams who came out of the tunnel again.

Chelsea led Barcelona 2-0 at halftime, which made the game more popular. The number of fans watching the game also skyrocketed after the start of the second half.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, hundreds of millions of fans around the world have seen the solemn and serious expressions on the faces of Barcelona players.

In comparison, the atmosphere within the Chelsea team is too relaxed.

Li Ang even smiled and nodded slightly at the live broadcast camera.

Facing Barcelona, ​​he passed and shot in half the game. At this moment, he is undoubtedly the absolute focus of the Nou Camp.

The Barcelona fans, who seemed to have calmed down a bit, couldn't bear it anymore when they saw Li Ang's "pretentious" smile on the big screen!

Harsh boos suddenly swept through the entire Camp Nou stadium, but this time, Li Ang did not directly respond.

As if he didn't hear the overwhelming boos, he continued to walk confidently onto the court.

The referee on duty didn't waste any time. He held his watch and soon blew the whistle to start the second half on time!

The Chelsea side was not in a hurry at the kick-off. Starting from Ibrahimovic and Hazard, the ball was passed back all the way.

Faced with the aggressive pressing of Barcelona's frontcourt players, Thiago Silva didn't even hesitate and passed the football directly to Cech behind him.

The Chelsea defender, who had already opened up his position on both sides early, also gave Cech space to cross the ball calmly.

Azpilicueta was the first to receive Cech's pass.

Sanchez and Neymar turned to double-team him.

But Azpilicueta did not panic, nor did he drive the ball directly forward.

Because Li Ang had already retreated to the back line to support him, he passed the ball to Li Ang with confidence before Sanchez and Neymar surrounded him.

Messi didn't know when he ran to this area to press.

But Li Ang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The moment he caught the ball with his back, he turned 90 degrees to the right and dribbled the ball directly sideways to avoid Messi's defensive interference!

Facing Raphinha who was actively pressing towards him, Leon directly cooperated with Kroos, who had retreated to meet him, and made a one-two pass in the backcourt.

Seeing that Raphinha was easily thrown away by Li Ang like a wooden stake, Iniesta had no choice but to directly attack and chose to pull Li Ang to stop!

So in the first minute of the second half, Barcelona received their first yellow card of the day!

Li Ang stood there with a smile and spread his hands, not caring, and Iniesta had nothing to protest. After receiving the yellow card, he silently ran back to his own half.

Under the influence of such an unfavorable start to the second half, Barcelona's bench seemed to become increasingly quiet.

On Chelsea's side, Mourinho applauded and gave Li Ang a thumbs up, then sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Chelsea restarted the kick and then continued to pass the ball in the midfield.

With Leon and Kroos controlling the tempo of the game, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to attack, Barcelona will have to constantly invest in fighting for the ball if they want to get the ball!

This is a very cruel scene for Barcelona fans.

They all know that this is a tactical trap played by Chelsea, but Barcelona still has to step into it!

Iniesta, who was carrying a yellow card, pressed forward with Rafinha.

Alves and Alba also passed the center line. In order to maintain the integrity of the midfield defense, Busquets had no choice but to follow them up.

Seeing this situation makes countless Barcelona fans tremble with fear!

In the 58th minute of the second half, Mourinho finally made his first substitution card of the game.

The goal hero Ibrahimovic was replaced and Lukaku came on as a substitute.

At the same time, both Van Ginkel and Salah began to warm up on the sidelines.

And just six minutes after the substitution adjustment, the Spanish commentator once again worried that Barcelona needed to pay more attention to Lukaku's counterattack.

After completing the steal, Matic sent an overhead pass directly from the backcourt, creating an opportunity for Lukaku to go wide!

At this moment, Hazard gave up his left area in a tacit understanding, changed positions and ran towards the center.

Alves, who was returning to defense, looked at Lukaku, who was running beside him and looked like a wild bear. He was dumbfounded!

This is a completely asymmetrical confrontation!

So many neutral fans subconsciously sympathized with Alves when they saw Lukaku crushing Alves and running towards Barcelona's bottom line with the ball.

Lukaku, who directly pulled up the side and penetrated the entire Barcelona defense line, was not satisfied with making a pass from the bottom. He even cut inside and entered the Barcelona penalty area!

Piqué stepped forward tragically.

Only then did Lukaku send the inverted triangle return pass with satisfaction.

However, Li Ang, who received the ball in the middle of Barcelona's penalty area, did not shoot directly this time.

He moved the ball towards the back of the penalty area and scored with a low shot from De Bruyne who rushed in!

Ter Stegen, who was feinted by Li Ang, could only watch the football cross the line again.

And several Chelsea offensive players who had played with the entire Barcelona defense line laughed together and ran towards the corner flag area!

The huge Camp Nou stadium was once again filled with the passionate cheers of more than 10,000 Chelsea fans!

Many Barcelona fans who couldn't bear the blow even chose to leave the stadium in protest at this moment.

This scene is extremely dazzling.

Pique roared and pointed at his temples at his defensive partners, indicating that they needed to focus more on the defensive line.

Messi and Iniesta stood in the frontcourt with their arms akimbo, staring at the electronic scoreboard, looking weak and lonely.

The game was ruined by Chelsea at this moment.

But this is not the end of the game!

Barcelona, ​​which is three goals behind at home, still has some energy after all.

In other words, Enrique, who was unwilling to accept his fate, made a last ditch effort!

Enter Xavi and Pedro.

The ones who were replaced were Rafinha and Busquets!

There is no way, it is meaningless to make substitutions on the offensive line at this time.

If they want to seize the last chance to turn around, Barcelona must bet everything on the offensive end!

Barcelona, ​​which almost changed its formation to 424, launched a desperate attack in the last thirty minutes of the game!

It was time for Messi to fully release the physical energy he had accumulated in the first half.

He unleashed a huge burst of energy inside a congested Chelsea half.

No matter how narrow the space was, he tried his best to open up some situations by moving around.

In the 76th minute of the second half, Messi chose to cut in and shoot after forcing Li Ang away!

This time, Li Ang didn't even have time to commit a foul, and Messi's left-foot shot successfully bypassed Cech's fingers!

It's a pity that the goalpost at Camp Nou rejected the possibility of Messi leading Barcelona to a desperate comeback!

When the football hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the Chelsea penalty area, the Barcelona coaching bench, which had planned to celebrate wildly, burst into wailing!

However, before Barcelona's coaches and substitute players could further regret and lament, Terry, who reacted first, had already kicked the football towards Barcelona's frontcourt!

Terry didn't intentionally look for a counterattack opportunity this time, but Lukaku, who had been roaming in Barcelona's half, had enough time to speed up and rush to the ball's landing spot!

Faced with Pique's frontal interception, Lukaku was very smart this time and did not choose to stop the ball and wait for his teammates to move forward. Instead, he ran directly to the wing with the ball.

After attracting the defensive attention of Pique and Xavi, he passed the ball vigorously to the left side of Barcelona's empty half!

De Bruyne unconventionally unloaded the ball in the air while running, and when Barcelona's defensive players had no time to think about his next move, he abnormally knocked the ball back to the center again!

At this moment, there is an area on the right side of the center about 35 meters away from the Barcelona goal.

Li Ang, who had just rushed in, didn't bother to rest. He raised his head to observe, then held his breath, stretched out his body and swing his legs with full strength!

Li Ang's choice to hit the goal was completely unexpected by all Barcelona defensive players!

And with the dull and terrifying sound of explosions, the football quickly moved toward the Barcelona goal like a cannonball being fired!

Ter Stegen makes a fierce save!

There was a real touch on his palm, but before he could be surprised, the violent impact made the football escape his control again!

After landing, Ter Stegen felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart!

He did not look back at the goal, but all the Chelsea players who were celebrating wildly at this moment also told him the final result!

This is an exaggerated ending that no one could have imagined before the game!

Barcelona was conceded four times by Chelsea at Camp Nou!

No more suspense!

Barcelona, ​​which has high hopes from the entire La Liga, has fallen on the doorstep of the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

And Chelsea, who are stepping on their bones, will continue to move forward until they realize their ultimate Champions League dream!
