Super Marshal

"Viewers, welcome to the 2014-2015 season, the Copa del Rey final."

"We are now at the Camp Nou stadium, broadcasting live for everyone."

"The players of both teams have already set up their formations in their respective half-courts, and both sides still adopt a four-three-three style of play."

"It is worth mentioning that although this game was held at the Nou Camp, Barcelona wore the away team's jersey, while Chinatown turned away and won the home team's signature."

"But even though this is the case, Zidane emphasized again and again before the game that he did not dare to be careless in the slightest."

"His formation in this game was novel, but not unexpected. Kante was assigned to start in the deep midfield position. This French midfielder became famous in the Nou Camp for his defensive ability. Excellent, and in front of Kante is his French compatriot Paul Pogba."

"The media revealed before the game that Isco was injured, and Pogba probably had this consideration in starting the game."

"It is worth mentioning that the head coaches of both teams in this game are legendary stars in the past."

"Barcelona's side is Luis Enrique, who led Barcelona to defeat Zidane's Chinatown this season and win the La Liga championship. The head coach of Chinatown's side is Zidane. Last season, European football One of the most successful coaches in the world, he won a heavy Champions League in his first season and two tragic runner-up finishes."

"The two sides have played two games this season. Chinatown won 3-1 at home and lost 0-2 away. If we look at the Champions League knockout standards, Chinatown is still slightly at a disadvantage."

"More importantly, after this King's Cup final, the two teams will face off again at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, a week later to decide this season's Champions League winner, so this game is also known as the Champions League. The lead-up to the final.”

"Barcelona has already won La Liga. If they win the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, Luis Enrique will win the Triple Crown in his first season as coach of Barcelona."

"Barcelona kicked off the game first."

…

"The referee finally blew the whistle to start the game."

"Suarez quickly kicked the ball to Messi."

"The game officially begins!"

"Barcelona quickly passed the ball back, but Chinatown's striker Firmino quickly stepped up and beat Busquets."

"Busquets passed the ball back to the defence."

"Barcelona's two centre-backs moved back and forth, looking for opportunities."

"Pique moved to the right with his big foot, and Alves stopped the ball directly to Messi in front."

"Messi came over to receive the ball and passed it to Rakitic. Rakitic passed it back to Alves and then to Busquets."

"Iniesta got the ball, Pedro came to take over, played a one-two, beautiful, passed the ball to the left, and Alba came in."

"Chinatown's defense on the right was very fast. Montoya's position was very stable and he did not give Alba a chance and was forced to pass back to Iniesta."

"Iniesta got the ball in the middle, Montoya suddenly attacked and double-teamed Iniesta with De Bruyne."

"Beautiful! Iniesta's pass was blocked by Montoya, but the ball was still at Barcelona's feet."

"Busquets quickly passed back to the defense, Firmino pressed forward step by step, and Pique was forced to pass back to the goalkeeper."

"In the first thirty-five seconds, Barcelona completed an offensive test, but failed."

…………

…………

Gao Han sat in the stands, eyes fixed on the court.

As the saying goes, insiders look at the door and outsiders look at the excitement.

Although it is only the first trial, the starting tactics of both sides can already be roughly seen.

Barcelona wanted to seize possession of the ball. At the Camp Nou, even if Xavi did not play, they still had enough chips to seize possession of the ball in the beginning. Zidane's start was mainly about stability and his play was a bit restrained.

This convergence was evident in the first trial.

Needless to say about the defense, the three players in the midfield are basically at the same level when defending. Pogba, Kanter and De Bruyne are all actively returning to their positions. Hazard and Griez on the wings Mann also recovered and actively protected the two wings.

Only Firmino is left in the frontcourt to press the opponent's central defender and Busquets.

Zidane's intention in adopting this style of play is very obvious. This is the Camp Nou. It is important to stabilize his rhythm and formation first. As for grabbing possession of the ball with Barcelona, ​​it is a matter of course.

But if you think Chinatown is conservative because of this, you are mistaken.

When Barcelona launched a second wave of tests, when Pogba was defending Rakitic on the left side of Chinatown, he passed the ball to Hazard who was returning to defend. The Belgian dribbled the ball from the left to the center, and one person passed it to the center. The ball passed half the court and was passed long to the right.

After Griezmann got the ball on the right wing, Montoya quickly moved forward to cover the wing. After the two formed a very simple wing cooperation, Montoya made a pass from the right wing.

The ball fell to the back point, and Pogba quickly got in from the left rib and hit the goal before everyone else, but missed it slightly.

This was the first shot of the game, completed by Chinatown.

Although the first attack failed to score, it basically achieved Zidane's intention.

After all, this is Camp Nou, the home court of Barcelona. There is no need for Chinatown to compete with Barcelona for the so-called ball possession. The most important thing is to present its own threat and contain Barcelona's ball possession.

The trend of the game clearly proves this.

"Zidane is really stable at critical moments!" Cantarero praised sincerely from the sidelines.

Even before the game, Zidane was a little hesitant and hesitant, but once he made a decision, he gave people a very stable feeling, especially reliable.

In other words, he knows how to make the most appropriate choice at any given moment.

For example, in this game, the outside world may not be clear, but it is very clear inside Chinatown that Isco has no injury problems, but Zidane did not even put him in the squad, and Koke was sitting on the bench.

But in the Champions League final a week later, I believe it will be Isco’s stage.

Gao Han also strongly agreed with Cantarero's words, "In the first three minutes, Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt began to show signs of disconnection. The game between Rakitic and Iniesta was also affected by Pogba. The three of them, Kante and De Bruyne, paid close attention to pressing and not grabbing, and only cut off Barcelona’s forward passing line, which they did well.”

After the passing lines of Rakitic and Iniesta were cut off, Barcelona began to try long passes from the backcourt, but Busquets sent the ball directly to the right sideline and failed to pose a threat.

Barcelona knows better than anyone how sharp Chinatown's left attack is, so it attaches great importance to the defense of the foul ball this time.

But what he didn't expect was that Alex Sandro sent the throw-in to Pogba.

The French midfielder suppressed Rakitic with his body, stopped the ball, and passed it to Alex Sandro, but the Brazilian left back was pressed and passed it back to Pogba. France He still used his body to block Rakitic and Busquets, and stopped the ball to Kante, who came to respond.

With two consecutive touches of the ball, Pogba's advantage in the midfield can be clearly seen.

Not to mention the player who can completely crush Barcelona in physical confrontation, he is tall, has long legs, is very delicate with his feet, and has an excellent sense of the ball. Such a player is rare but hard to find. Chinatown will do its best to retain him.

Pogba's continuous possession of the ball attracted the attention of the defense. After Kante got the ball, he quickly distributed it to De Bruyne.

The Belgian caught the ball sideways, and after receiving the ball, he quickly took it forward and crossed to the right, forcing Barcelona's defenders to fight back.

Griezmann still had the ball, and Montoya stepped forward, but this time Griezmann did not pass the ball to the wing baseline, but directly passed the ball diagonally to the back point, looking for Hazard, but the goalkeeper Bravo decisively abandoned the goal and picked the ball off.

At this time, the game had only lasted three minutes.

From the data point of view, Barcelona definitely has the advantage in possession of the ball, but from the experience of the scene, whether it is rhythm or threat, Chinatown has an overall advantage.

"What De Bruyne said just now reminds me of a person." Gao Han chuckled.

"Kaka." Cantarero replied with a smile.

Gao Han smiled and nodded. De Bruyne is indeed very similar to Kaka back then, especially the moment he took the ball to launch a counterattack, but he is different from Kaka. If he follows his current development momentum, his future achievements will be unlimited.

There is also Pogba, a player who is fully offensive and defensive, a player who is quite capable on both ends of the offense and defense. He is so delicate with his feet and has an excellent feel for the ball. Such players are really extremely rare and will also be crucial to the team in the future. An important member.

"If we continue to play according to this idea, we have a high chance of winning this game." Gao Han said confidently.

Judging from Barcelona's performance in the first three minutes, the midfield combination of Rakitic and Iniesta is still relatively unfamiliar in terms of ball control. It would be fine if they were facing other teams, but in front of Chinatown , it is difficult to get a bargain.

Compared with the previous game of 0-2, after improving in the final stage of this season, Chinatown's midfield play has become mature, which is also reflected in the stability of the scene.

But just as Gao Han finished speaking, Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo quickly threw the ball.

Chinatown actively pressed in the frontcourt, but Messi actively retreated to catch the ball. After getting the ball, he pushed the ball through the half court alone, and then got ahead of the defender and passed the ball to Suarez who was pulled to the right. .

Suarez immediately passed the ball back to Rakitic and then passed it across to Iniesta.

At this time, Messi had already run out of the gap in the middle, shook off Kanter, and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

As soon as Messi raised his hand, Iniesta quickly passed the ball in front of him as if he understood it.

Stop the ball...take off...the arc...the ball goes in!

The entire scoring process was completed in one go. Before Chinatown's two central defenders even had time to step forward to attack, Messi's curve ball penetrated the goal guarded by De Gea.

One to zero!

What is a superstar?

This is a superstar!

Single-handedly, in a leisurely pace, he defeated the opponent's iron wall.

After scoring the goal, Messi didn't look very excited. He high-fived and hugged his teammates who ran up to celebrate. It felt like he had scored an extremely ordinary goal.

But this goal brought a huge psychological blow to Chinatown.

They just made a slight mistake. Rakitic passed a cross to Iniesta. Kante did not have time to move immediately and blocked the route from Iniesta to Messi. As a result, he was caught by the Argentine superstar. Living.

This was Barcelona's first shot of the game, but it resulted in its first goal.

Gao Han sat in the stands and shook his head helplessly. What else could he say?

This is football!

Strictly speaking, there were no serious mistakes in Chinatown, but the unfortunate thing is that it was Messi who caught the mistakes.

God-like Messi!
