winning hand

On April 23, the Champions League semi-finals arrived as scheduled.

Before this day arrived, Tottenham had arrived in Barcelona a day early. Although it took two days on the road, which seemed a bit long, it also allowed the players to get more adequate rest and be in better condition.

Entered the Champions League semi-finals.

"In this game, Tottenham's players have formed the strongest lineup. Suarez and Cavani are on the forward line, and Bale, Gustavo, Yaya Toure, and Dimari are in the midfield.

Ya. The back line is Coentrao, Palmieri, Thiago Silva and Piszczek, and the goalkeeper is still Neuer...

...This is Tottenham's strongest lineup at this stage. On the bench, they have Handanovic, Boateng, Ramsey, Royce, Raul, and Hoddlestone.

In this game, Tottenham basically have no players absent, and almost all their main players can play."

On the court, Tottenham's players have already appeared. Watching his own players shaking hands with their opponents after taking the field one by one, Li Bin is also analyzing the opponent's lineup.

Valdes, Abidal, Puyol, Pique, Alves - this defense is almost the same as Li Bin remembered. Butzquez, Xavi, Iniesta

——Three midfielders are also Barcelona’s most famous midfield trio. On the forward line, Henry is in the center, and Pedro and Messi are on the wings. This formation has been analyzed a lot by Li Bin before the game.

, Messi now moves to the middle a lot in games, and the three players in the frontcourt can change their positions very flexibly.

In my memory, this team was the dream team that almost defeated all the invincible opponents in Europe. In fact, it was even stronger than in my memory. In my memory, in the 2009-10 season, it had already achieved the collective honor Grand Slam.

Henry, who had not played very seriously that season

He basically just dealt with errands, but now Henry is playing very hard. In my memory, Iniesta was injured for nearly half a year this season, but now, he is almost

He didn't suffer any injuries and was the main player for the whole season.

This formation makes it more difficult for opponents to deal with, but it also makes Li Bin more excited.

"Tottenham and Barcelona are both leaders in this league. Tottenham is six points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, while Barcelona is also six points ahead of Real Madrid. They are both dominant in the league. As La Liga

With the two leading teams in the Premier League, they have shown great advantages. Just two weeks ago, Tottenham just used a 10-1 game to predict how they will meet in the Champions League now.

It’s also what people have been looking forward to…”

As the two top teams in the Premier League and La Liga, their meeting will certainly attract people's attention. Tottenham are certainly new and want to make a name for themselves, and Barcelona has just defeated the second-placed team in the Premier League and reached the semi-finals.

They lost to Chelsea last year, Manchester United the year before that, and Liverpool before that. They continued to suffer at the hands of Premier League teams. This year they finally reached the semi-finals and met Tottenham and Barcelona.

Psychologically, he is also full of desire for victory.

The same desire on both sides caused the two teams to collide immediately. From the beginning of the game, the two sides were engaged in a fierce fight in the midfield.

As soon as Xavi got the ball, Yaya Toure came closer to him. Xavi immediately turned his feet in a circle and blocked Yaya Toure from behind. Then he adjusted the angle and kicked the ball to

Butzquez received the ball and passed the ball to Alves on the right. But as soon as Alves got the ball, he faced

Bell's pressing was only able to kick the ball back to Pique. As soon as Pique got the ball, Cavani had already rushed up, and he had to pass it back to Valdez. Valdez, on the other hand,

He didn't face too many pressings, but Suarez was also ambushing Puyol, so Valdes had no choice but to kick the ball to the left and hand it to Abidal.

Tottenham's series of presses forced Barcelona to constantly evade the ball. However, even so, Barcelona's ability to control the ball was amazing. Although Tottenham's press was fierce, they still protected the ball very well.

At their feet. They passed the ball back and forth in the backcourt, protecting their chances and not choosing to jump right in.

This kind of confrontation immediately showed off Tottenham's impact and Barcelona's ball control ability. Although Tottenham basically didn't get the ball, and Barcelona couldn't even pass the ball past half-court, the game between the two sides was still exciting to watch.

The spectators at the ball all became excited.

"Tottenham's players have begun to exert their strength, but it seems that Barcelona has not entered the state yet. They did not attack immediately. They seem to be still in the middle and backcourt, engaged in a tense stalemate with Tottenham..."

Barcelona's players stayed in the backcourt and kept passing the football. But it was this attitude that worried Li Bin the most.

Barcelona's players know very well that in a game like this, it will do no good for their players to attack quickly. The game has just started, and Tottenham's players are in good physical condition, and this is when they work hard the most. They started the game

After that, he immediately counterattacked and scored a goal immediately after counterattacking.

There have been too many games this season. After watching Tottenham’s opening goals many times, Barcelona is not ignorant of the characteristics of Tottenham’s playing style. At this time, there is really no need to attack Tottenham immediately. Just slowly and slowly

After the delay, Tottenham would naturally retreat after they no longer had the energy to sustain a large-scale counterattack.

The hard work of controlling football is reflected at this time. They are not in a hurry because they know that if they control it, they will win.

However, Li Bin was not going to give them this kind of hard work. Li Bin stood up on the sidelines and shouted to Toure early.

"Yaya! Yaya!" Li Bin's voice was loud. He was not shouting to Toure alone. "Defend well! Don't hesitate!"

Li Bin's words made Toure raise his head. He knew what Li Bin meant, but he didn't expect that Li Bin had already issued a death order to the players just after the game started.

He knew very well that Li Bin was giving a task, and he was happy to complete Li Bin's task: he knew very well how important he was in the tactics laid out by Li Bin.

Less than a minute into the game, when Xavi got the ball again, he took a few steps forward and gave the ball to Iniesta, who was running back in front. Iniesta received the ball and had not yet turned it around.

Palmieri noticed him. He ran two steps and kicked back. At this time, Yaya Toure entangled Harvey. Harvey turned around and found that his back was stuck.

Varney has also retreated and entangled Butzkes.

Want to cut off the passing line? Xavi somewhat understands Tottenham's thinking, but he doesn't think it is too much of a threat. Barcelona may not have much else, but the number of contact points is enough to amaze anyone.

Alves, who was on the wing, took two steps towards the center and received the football. However, when he received the ball, he immediately discovered that Bell, Coentrao and Gustavo almost formed a

It surrounded him, trapping him in it.

Li Bin also knew very well that Tottenham could not sustain a high-intensity counterattack for 90 minutes. So his arrangement was very simple. Drive the ball as far as possible to the wing, and then grab the ball from the wing.

Gustavo succeeded in this defense. He stole the ball from Alves' feet. Then he immediately gave the ball to Yaya Toure, because he knew that at this time, Yaya Toure

Ray is the soul of the remaining tactics.

Yaya Toure, who got the ball, was already facing the opponent's attack. Alves, Xavi, and Butzquez, almost at the same time, pounced on Yaya Toure who was controlling the ball at his feet. Yaya

Toure pulled the ball back, and he also turned around. With his huge body, he blocked Xavi and Alves behind him, and then, with a flick of the ball, he ducked

Opened Butzquez!

After Barcelona lost the ball, under the coordinated counterattack of the three people, few people could hold the ball and pass it out, but Yaya Toure has done it now!

"Yaya Toure got the ball under the pressure of three people and he did not lose the ball!"

Yaya Toure, who was controlling the ball at his feet, also thought of Li Bin's words before the game.

"Remember, after you get the ball, you only need to control it for three seconds - for three seconds, our wide players can definitely get on the offside line. They cannot be intercepted within three seconds. In these three seconds

Here, you can't fall down no matter what, you are a real man, you can do it. Then, pass the ball immediately, don't hesitate, don't have any hesitation! This is the most critical step for us to win! Once we pass

If it lasts five seconds, we will have no chance!"

Three seconds - because the four defenders in the backcourt were changed to three defenders, the time for the winger to advance to the offside line was exactly three seconds. He had to control the football for three seconds under the opponent's three-man team. Then,

He must play the ball immediately, because once more than five seconds pass, Barcelona's players will immediately retreat. The completely retreated defense line will be difficult to break through, and his opportunity will be completely lost.

The high-level confrontation in football is so detailed: if you cannot get the ball within three seconds when three people are pressing you, then there is no way to take advantage of this opportunity. Once it exceeds five seconds, there will not be enough time to pass the ball.

Significance - Yaya Toure not only needs to be among three people

To get the ball under the pressure, you also need to find your own breakthrough player under the pressure, and use less than two seconds to send a through ball to create an opportunity. Protect the ball, control the timing, and pass the ball. This kind of difficulty is all over the place.

There are countless people playing football in the world, but there are definitely no more than five who can do it.

However, what Yaya Toure is very proud of is: he is one of these five people!

After dodging Butzquez's marking, Yaya Toure suddenly pushed the ball forward, stepped out with his long legs, and dodged the siege of three people. After dodging the siege,

Yaya Toure did not hesitate. He turned around quickly and kicked the ball close to the ground, hitting the huge gap behind Butzquez who was rushing over!

In order to press Yaya Toure, Alves failed to recover in time. At this time, Bale had already stepped in. When he got the ball, he was basically at a stage parallel to the back line. He was making crazy breakthroughs at this time.

However, in his experience of playing football, it is impossible for the opponent's defender to chase and steal the ball.

Barcelona's possession of the ball in the backcourt can indeed prevent the opponent from having any chance for a long time, but if the opponent is fast enough and the impact is strong enough, then as long as they seize an opportunity, they may be ready to let them go in an instant.

The insufficient backcourt completely collapsed!

No matter how Barcelona's tactics change, there is always a weakness that Dutch football cannot overcome: the overall forward movement and the forward pressure of the full-backs will inevitably lead to a large space behind them, which is easy to be exploited. A good midfielder plus a good winger

, it is feasible to defeat their tactics.

There are no more than five such midfielders, and there are no more than five such wingers - but Li Bin happens to have such a combination of wingers and midfielders!

Just use this lineup and kill as fast as you can!
