winning hand

"There are still 60 minutes left in the game. From now on, Tottenham will start a comprehensive retreat. This time is a bit too early and it is not safe for them. The opponent is Barcelona, ​​the best attacking team in the world.

It's shrinking now, but it's a bit bad."

Lineker is still analyzing the game, but he also knows that such analysis may be very unpleasant. After Tottenham was sent off one man, they conducted a tentative attack and found that they could not hold up the front line.

After the attack, he immediately withdrew from the backcourt. This move made everyone who still had a glimmer of hope for Tottenham and hoped that Tottenham could play some different games a little regretful.

It seems that Li Bin has no choice but to attack Barcelona in a 10 vs. 11 situation.

"When the Premier League teams faced Barcelona in the past few years, they basically defended in the backcourt. Most of them defended the backcourt and relied on the iron wall to win the final victory. However, after winning,

, the evaluations they receive are generally not very high..."

When Barcelona was playing football, they were suffocated by their opponents' defensive backcourt more than once. After being suffocated more times, the Spanish media began to emphasize that this was because other teams played

It was caused by not being good enough to watch. In Tottenham's last game, they just played a little better, and this game has returned to the path of not being good enough. As for the English football community, which has been suppressed in terms of reputation all year round,

Of course it is a very regrettable thing.

But apart from regret, they all noticed another thing: Li Bin did not give up defense completely. He still called Bale to his side and told him how to play. And soon, Lineker was analyzing

.

"Relying on Bale's speed to counterattack? This seems to be the most feasible and desirable way. Bale is very fast and can carry out long-distance sprints. With Tottenham's defensive tactics in the backcourt, he can also have a certain degree of success.

Deterrence can at least prevent opponents from attacking them all. But will this really have a great effect? ​​It’s no secret that Bell’s breakthrough is sharp. How could Barcelona not take precautions?”

Lineker's worries are not meaningless. In the last game, Bale's speed had already left a deep impression on Barcelona. Therefore, when they saw Li Bin and Bale conspiring, their first reaction was also Li Bin.

Bin wanted to quickly counterattack and break through. This caused the Barcelona players to immediately adjust their offensive. Puyol and Abidal stayed behind the center circle and did not dare to intervene, lest Tottenham do something surprising.

Lift.

In their view, this is enough - there are two people staying in the backcourt and already looking up to each other. When Barcelona was playing happily, there were times when the opponent was obviously in an offside position, but because of receiving the ball in their own half

Without fouling, he can counterattack smoothly. In their view, no matter how fast and powerful Bale is, he is just a speedy winger. As a Welshman, his skills are not special in the first place.

Okay, just leaving two people in the backcourt isn't enough to defeat them?

For speedy counterattack players, one post and one follow is enough. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo comes, being played like this is just a waste of time. Bell is definitely not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, and Barcelona's backline players are very fast, so

There won't be any unfavorable situation like Bayern players' pursuit, so what's there to worry about? Two people are enough.

However, when Tottenham launched their first counterattack, they knew that Tottenham's counterattack was not so easy to break.

When Yaya Toure got the ball and kicked it to the right wing, everyone knew that it was time for Bale to attack. Barcelona's left back Abidal was the slowest, and it would be inappropriate not to break through here.

It's common sense. But what people didn't expect is that it's almost the same as Bell.

Di Maria rushed out at the same time. When defending, his position was closer to the center. When Yaya Toure passed the ball, he almost rushed out on the right road.

On the right side of the spur, two breakthrough masters rushed towards the backcourt together.

"Concentrate the two wingers to one side? Li Bin's counterattack was well arranged!"

The two quick counterattacking wingers are a huge threat to Barcelona's defense, especially when Pique happily runs to the frontcourt to participate in the attack, the trouble becomes even greater. Bell is on the wing, and it is very difficult to

An easy kick passed the ball to Di Maria. The two of them played a beautiful one-two, leaving Abidal behind. Then, the two of them cut inside together in almost parallel positions, facing the inside of the penalty area.

Puyol rushed over.

Puyol, however, stuck his position very well at this time. He stood a little behind the penalty area. From this position, he could ensure that whether the opponent wanted to shoot from the top of the arc or make a pass from the bottom, he could do it.

He could intercept it very well. Bell rushed in front of him, but found that his pass was not good, and he suddenly

Regardless of whether he breaks or breaks, he may intercept him, which makes Bell admire in his heart: Puyol's defensive skills are indeed good. He heard Li Bin say that Cannavaro was in the penalty area, one versus three.

He could do it all, but he couldn't see the miracle anymore, but now, he saw Puyol dealing with the two of them alone.

Behind him, Valdes has also rushed out. Although he is a goalkeeper, at this time, he has to act as a sweeper to meet the team's needs. Behind Puyol, he approached the goal post.

In this way, if Bell goes down, he can intercept. If Bell passes the ball to Di Maria, Puyol can intercept. Although the two-on-two situation between the two is still not particularly good, it is still good.

This brought Tottenham's quick counterattack to a halt.

"Barcelona still has half a spare defender behind it. Valdes can still play a lot of roles here..."

Lineker has some regrets: Barcelona and Tottenham both play in this way, with the goalkeeper acting as a half-back to participate in defense in the penalty area. Tottenham's counterattack is very good, but Barcelona's tactics, coupled with the general

Joel's strength makes Tottenham's attack not particularly confident.

Pique had already chased back, but at this moment, Bale saw that he had no choice but to kick the ball towards the far post!

The football hit the goal frame hard and bounced out of the goal frame with a crisp sound. Pique, who was chasing after, received the ball and kicked it out of the baseline, solving the false alarm.

"Tottenham's counterattack seems to be sharp, but they still can't break through Barcelona's door. They shouldn't have many counterattacks, so such an attack doesn't make much sense..."

Lineker suddenly stopped talking. He saw Bale walking towards the corner kick. He asked the ball boy for a ball, then rubbed the ball hard. After a long time, he placed the ball on the corner kick.

"In the last game, Tottenham didn't take corner kicks so seriously. This situation is very special. Moreover, it seems that Bell has always taken Tottenham's corner kicks. We only remember his speed, but seem to have ignored Bell's

Another function may be corner kick tactics!"

Before Lineker could finish his words, Bell's curve ball had already flown out. His ball had a large arc and the landing point was towards the back point. It was a very good ball. At this time, the penalty area was

Inside, the Tottenham players were also running forward together.

Tottenham's height advantage is undoubtedly evident at this time. None of the Tottenham players on the field is under 180cm, and their opponents, at the high point of the backcourt, including Puyol who is 178cm, are only

Three - Butzquez is not low, but with his size, fighting for headers is a joke - faced with such an opportunity, Tottenham took advantage of it very well. Palmieri, who was at the back point, scrambled for the ball and directed it towards

The goal passed!

Valdes reacted quickly and lifted the ball over the crossbar, preventing Tottenham's attack from succeeding. However, even so, he himself broke out in a cold sweat.

"Tottenham played the last game at Camp Nou. The length and width of the stadium at Camp Nou are much larger than White Hart Lane. Even in England, it is difficult to find such a big stadium.

Therefore, in that game, Tottenham's set pieces basically had no chance to make a difference. The stadium was too big, which made the players very uncomfortable. However,

In this game, the situation seems to be different. Tottenham, who play at home, have a natural advantage in setting kicks. They are more adaptable to their home court. Moreover, Tottenham, who play at home, have the help of rain - rain

The world is slippery, which affects the bounce, which is another very bad news for Barcelona, ​​which is generally short of height..."

Barcelona's set-piece defense has always been not particularly bad: Generally speaking, set-piece defense around the world now uses a combination of zone defense and man-marking, and Barcelona is no exception. They are used to letting others

Players mark their opponents, and the two central defenders run freely to intercept and fill in. This style of play, coupled with the characteristics of their team that is good at running, has always done a good job in defense, at least against La Liga teams.

Well done.

However, Tottenham is not a La Liga team. Compared with La Liga teams, they have better physical conditions, are stronger, taller, and better at fighting for the top. This is a common feature of all Premier League teams. In corner kick attacks,

There is the most physical contact with the opponent, compared to pressing defense

, it needs to be closer, and in the corner kick attack, bounce and height are needed the most. In these aspects, Tottenham have the advantage. Although Tottenham's ground attack cannot be organized now, when it comes to corner kicks,

They can still leave their opponents speechless!

Who says Bale can only fight back?

Even if you send off our players, we still have more high points than you - unless the referee really has the guts to send off five of us, otherwise, no matter how he punishes us, we still have more high points than you! In this area

On the court we are familiar with, no matter how we play, we can win!

If there are many high points, there must be enough tactics to cooperate. And Tottenham players, starting from the game against Bayern, have been thinking about how to gain advantage through corner kicks. Until this time, they

That’s why I used this tactic.

Bell took another corner kick. This time, Thiago Silva, who was at the penalty spot, pushed Butzquez aside and rushed forward. He took a few steps forward and almost

He jumped up together with Pique beside him, and then, relying on the impact and height after running, he easily overcame Pique and grabbed the player. He shook his head violently right on Pique's head.

, blasted the ball towards the goal!

"gooooal! Tottenham player scored!! Thiago Silva!! What an amazing goal, he scored for Tottenham, an absolutely beautiful goal! Tottenham played with one less player

Got the lead, Tottenham scored!"
