Super Marshal

This is the first time Guardiola has returned to Camp Nou as a guest.

Before the game, he refused the invitation of the Barcelona management, and instead of going to sit with them in the president's stand, he chose to sit in the area where the visiting team's Atletico Madrid fans sat.

This can be regarded as a part of his professional ethics.

Moreover, he is also very grateful to the head coach Gao Han for his explanation, so as to avoid being accused by fans who don't know the inside story.

At this moment, sitting in the stands and watching the game on the court, his mood is very contradictory and complicated.

"Harvey is young after all."

Guardiola sighed as he watched Xavi leave his defensive position to rob Atletico Madrid of the ball.

For a young professional player, the experience gained from the game is of course important, but it is also crucial to his own exploration and positioning, and the latter often needs to rely on the head coach and seniors for pointers and corrections.

As a legend of Barcelona, ​​Guardiola is very optimistic about Harvey, a junior who was also born in La Masia, but he also regrets it, because in the past few years, no one except Van Gaal has been able to play him again. Give him help.

He is already 21 years old, if in the next few years, he fails to find a way that is his own and suitable for Barcelona, ​​then his prospects in the team will be bad.

However, in the past few years in Barcelona, ​​the coaching position has been turbulent. Neither Ferrer nor Rexach is obviously not Harvey's mentor. As for teammates, Luis Enrique and Rivaldo are of course superstars. But there is not much help that can be given to Harvey, and Cocu's style is completely different from Harvey.

The development of another midfielder, Gabriel, is a bit off, and Herald, who was brought back from Valencia with a lot of money, is even more incompatible with the team's characteristics, and it is difficult to get a position in the team.

Thinking of this, Guardiola sighed deeply, he really didn't want to see Barcelona's tradition ruined.

But now, he has become powerless.

…………

…………

Tactics on the football field are closely linked.

As soon as Harvey went up to grab, Cocu had to adjust his position immediately.

Two midfielders moved and Barcelona's defense had to react.

Atlético Madrid didn't expect that Barcelona would suddenly go up to grab the ball, and they really missed the ball.

But Gao Han's team has a characteristic, that is, the players have high tactical execution ability and high placement rate.

Under the guarantee of double heights, Atletico Madrid's on-the-spot counter-grabs have always been executed quite well. Even if they fail to snatch back the first time, the team can always quickly take advantage of the excellent presence rate of players to create local advantages as soon as possible. The opponent's counterattack was contained.

This time too.

Xavi and Cocu teamed up to snatch the ball, but found that there was nowhere to pass around.

The few superstars in front were all strutting around waiting, and none of them wanted to come back.

Saviola, who is new to the team, has the lowest qualifications, and is most eager to prove himself with performance, has withdrawn.

It was useless, Atletico Madrid blocked every forward line of the ball.

Harvey changed his mind and immediately passed to the back line of defense.

He knows very well that under the pressure of Atletico Madrid, the possession of the ball is a hot potato. Whoever holds it is prone to make mistakes. He can only rely on drumming to pass the ball, passing the ball non-stop.

But there is a problem.

The possession of the ball that Barcelona is talking about is concentrated in the midfield, especially a few superstar players, but in the midfield, the ball obviously cannot be controlled.

Atlético Madrid decisively pressed forward and back, and with a little pressure, Christan Val was directly a long pass.

It's okay, as long as the whole team presses up after the long pass, and the collective pressure is applied, even if Atletico Madrid's pressing cannot be broken, at least it can relieve the pressure on the midfield.

But the problem is that when the ball reached the frontcourt, Pablo, who replaced Marchena, blocked Kluivert with his body and headed the ball back to the midfield. Atletico Madrid's players cooperated tacitly and controlled the second in time. point.

So, the ball fell to the feet of the Sheets Legion again.

Barcelona's defense line had just pressed halfway, and found that the ball was suddenly lost, and immediately wanted to retreat.

But Atlético Madrid have also discovered this.

Deco suddenly passed the ball and passed the ball to Kaka's side.

I saw Kaka, who was about to pull back to catch the ball, suddenly made an emergency stop, received a pass from Deco, turned around, threw off Harvey behind him, and immediately accelerated to start.

"Atlético found the loophole, Kaka dribbled from midfield and he looked very confident."

"Kaka is so fast, my God, who can stop him?"

"Cocu tried to block Kaka, but was skilfully dodged."

"Atletico Madrid's trident is now three-on-two in the frontcourt, a good opportunity..."

"Kaka has reached the top of the arc in the penalty area...and is divided into the penalty area..."

"Torres received the ball from the right and crossed it in front of the goal!"

"Villa... the goal has been scored!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"In the ninth minute, just nine minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in scoring Barcelona's goal!"

"This is a very beautiful counterattack. With the assist from Torres, Villa went straight behind Kristanval and calmly pushed. It was 1-0. Atletico Madrid opened the scoring and broke the deadlock on the field!"

"The hero of the goal, Villa excitedly embraced Torres and Kaka. Without the excellent dribbling of the Brazilian players, and without Torres' calm cross in front of the goal, Villa's goal would not have come so easily."

"As the season progresses, we can gradually feel that Atletico Madrid's front trident cooperates more and more tacitly. They often stage an unbelievable subtle cooperation on the court."

"What is even more exciting is that these three players are not very old. Villa will soon be 20 years old, Kaka is only 19 years old, and Torres is only 17 years old, but they have formed the La Liga team this season. The most dangerous offensive combination on the field."

"This is Atletico Madrid's head coach, Gao Han, who is only 24 years old."

"It's him, who set off a youthful storm in Atletico Madrid this season. This group of young guards with the sheet army is invincible throughout La Liga."

"With the goal conceded in the first nine minutes, things are not going well for Barcelona."

…………

…………

After Gao Han saw Villa's goal in the coach's bench, he stood up happily, hugged Buenaventura, Cantarero and others beside him, and then followed behind him on the bench. The players shook hands and clapped hands in celebration.

The opening attack is a tactical strategy. The biggest purpose is to disrupt the opponent's rhythm from the beginning of the game, and strive to grasp the rhythm of the game and possession of the ball in their own hands.

As for the goal, it is a windfall!

But Gao Han still walked to the sidelines, applauded the players on the field, and then signaled them to continue to press on, to maintain the pressure on Barcelona, ​​and not to relax just because they led by one goal.

After that, he gave a thumbs up to Torres who looked over.

The Atlético de Madrid captain grinned broadly.

Recently, Torres has indeed been more passionate and aggressive on the court.

"A few days ago, this kid suddenly came to me and said that he wanted to practice more. I suspected that I had heard it wrong." Gao Han smiled and shook his head.

Cantarero also smiled, and he was in charge of Torres' extra training plan.

"These days, he has indeed been training hard and has maintained a good state. Your motivation for him has worked."

Gao Han nodded, he was also very happy to see Torres' transformation.

It's not that Torres didn't perform well before.

On the contrary, for an ordinary seventeen-year-old young player, Torres's performance in the first period of the league is quite good, but the problem is that Gao Han has higher demands on him.

Both his and Villa's potentials have reached 185, but after half a season of training in the second division, coupled with winning the Copa del Rey and training in La Liga this season, their improvement is very obvious.

The older Villa has made the most obvious progress. His strength has reached 155, which is a full improvement of ten points. It is indeed quite rare, and reflected on the court, Villa is now the team's number one scorer. hand.

Torres' strength was originally similar to that of Villa, but in the past six months, he has only improved by five points, reaching 149, which is quite rare compared to other people, but in Gao Han's view, Progress is too slow.

Because of this, Gao Han intentionally used Kico to create some pressure on Torres and urge him to improve after Kico's recovery, because he had a hunch that the potential of Villa and Torres was likely to go further.

The team's consecutive victories, coupled with the fact that Gao Han uses skill cards to feed every game, the strength of the players in the team has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Carvalho continued his progress in the Portuguese Super League last season. In the past few months, he has also improved by another ten points, reaching 160 points. This can be regarded as the level of a central defender in La Liga.

Marchena lost a little bit, improved by eight points, and reached 148, which is not bad.

Deco is currently the strongest in the team. After joining Atletico Madrid, he has improved by six points, reaching 167.

This value is quite good in La Liga. Although it is not the top, it is still at the level of the first-line midfielder.

And the closer you get to the upper limit of potential, the slower progress tends to be.

Harvey Alonso also improved by ten points, reaching one hundred and fifty-three, and his progress was also impressive.

Gao Han feels that under the influence of Guardiola, Harvey Alonso's understanding and control of the game is getting higher and higher, which makes him more happy than the improvement in strength.

The Brazilian striker Kaka, praised by the media as the biggest discovery of Atletico Madrid this season, improved by 13 points after joining the team, reaching 164. It seems that he is quite hopeful to replace Deco and become the team's most powerful player. strong.

But what surprised Gao Han the most was Marcos Senna. In the past few months, the Brazilian midfielder has improved by 15 achievement points, which once again refreshed Gao Han's impression of this Brazilian midfielder. .

Low-key with almost no sense of presence, but conscientiously guarding the midfield and contributing to the team in obscurity, Marcos Senna is definitely the midfield pillar for the team to perform so well.

It is precisely because of the rapid progress of the players and the excellent performance of the team that Gao Han dared to promise that he will not introduce strong support during the winter break and summer transfers, but will focus on improving the thickness of the bench.

It is also because the team has this strength that he dared to put on a stance at the Nou Camp and confront Barcelona.

Not only to win, but also to earn respect.

Isn't Barcelona best at possession?

Then Gao Han will use the ball to defeat Barcelona!
