Chapter 369： Do you have the confidence to suppress Lucio?

On the special plane flying back to Barcelona from Munich, there was a dead silence.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere became quite weird.

In the first leg, he lost the away game 2-3. Strictly speaking, this score is not bad.

Two away goals, after returning to home, Barcelona is fully capable of reversing.

But everyone still feels worried, because the team's defensive problems are too serious.

Serious enough to make people very worried, can really win Bayern Munich at home in the second round?

Rijkaard and Tencart and other coaching staff members are also thinking about their own problems, they need to focus on the countermeasures of the second round, while looking for the weakness and loopholes of Bayern Munich.

You know, in the first leg of the game, Bayern's midfielder Ballack was absent.

But in the second round, Ballack will definitely come back, which will be a considerable threat to Barcelona's midfielder.

...

When the plane rose into the air and the flight was steady, Captain Puyol got up from his seat and came to the middle of the cabin, looked around at the surrounding teammates, and gathered everyone's attention.

"Old rules, everyone talks about it, sum up the first round, think about the next round." Puyol said loudly.

After a pause, Puyol spoke again: "I'll come first."

Still no one spoke, just listened quietly.

"In the first round of the game, our defense should be responsible for this. We should not push the problem to a single person. Everyone is responsible. We are a whole and we must bear it together. As the captain, I have the greatest responsibility."

At the critical moment, Puyol still has the responsibility as the captain.

As soon as they said, other defenders, including Oleg, took the initiative to apologize and expressed their willingness to take responsibility.

Whether it’s during the intermission, the locker room after the game, or until now, no one has ever blamed the first half of the goal, although everyone knows where the problem is, there is no way, the team’s personnel That's it.

Not to mention using Oleg, even if Marcos is returned to the defense line, he can defend Ma Kai?

Mexicans don’t have to be safe, do they?

Besides, if Marcos returns to the defense line, who will play the midfield late?

Barcelona has tried many methods this season. Herald has completely lost his confidence and can't find the state he was in Valencia that year.

Thiago and Edmilson have not been able to return from injury, even if they come back, how are they?

Barcelona this season can really be said to be seriously dragged down by the defense.

And if you want to go deeper, it will definitely involve the power of management.

Roselle believes that it was Laporta who used all his financial resources and even used bank loans to sign Sudong from Valencia, which led to Barcelona not having enough financial resources to operate other players.

If you use Su Dong's money to buy a striker and a midfielder, it is definitely more than enough.

For example, Barack, he was very close to Barcelona last summer.

Laporta believes that the team’s current predicament has a lot to do with Russell, who is in charge of football affairs, because the two Brazilian players Mota and Edmilson have been absent for a long time due to injuries.

Another point is that the midfielder Barcelona wanted to sign was to make up for Davis’s shortcomings. Russell insisted on signing Deco, but it turns out that Deco is not Davis, but Marcos, who was introduced during the winter break. Senna is better able to play Davis's role.

Unfortunately, the Brazilian midfielder cannot play in the Champions League.

It can be said that this is a very troublesome thing. Once the dispute arises, it will be endless bad debts.

In the second half of last season, Barcelona's strong revival, the structure of the iron triangle of the midfield is very important, Davis is responsible for large-scale sweeps and oppression, Harvey is responsible for organizing and sorting and passing the ball, and Cocu has an excellent defense ability behind The high point.

According to the idea of ​​the club’s formation at the beginning of the season, Edmilson wanted to make up for Cocu’s position, but since a serious injury has stopped the battle, Herald has been in no state. No one on the team can replace Cocu’s position, even Davis couldn't fill any of the vacancies.

It is precisely because of the midfield imbalance that Barcelona can rely on strong offensive power to make a break in the league. However, in the Champions League, especially the knockout stage, when encountering a strong opponent like Bayern Munich, the problem is immediately exposed.

Losing three goals in a row at the opening seems to be accidental, but in fact it is a certainty sooner or later.

...

"I think we should adopt more proactive tactics in the next round, just like we did when we played Real Madrid."

After many people expressed their opinions, Su Dong also put forward his own ideas.

Since it is difficult to defend, then simply press out and attack the opponent.

When playing Real Madrid, Barcelona's most eye-catching tactic is to press for pressure.

But as soon as Su Dong's voice fell, someone immediately raised different opinions.

"Real Madrid's defense is so poor, but Bayern Munich's defense is very good, we may not be able to use the tactics against Real Madrid to deal with Bayern, but may be directly defeated by the opponent's counterattack." Deco raised his concerns.

Many people also nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with Deco's point of view.

"The key lies in our own. As long as everyone focuses on the game, after losing the ball, the first time they put in the counter grab, then Bayern Munich may play worse than Real Madrid, and their players' technical skills are not as good as Real Madrid."

Speaking of this, Su Dong added, “In the second half, or in other words, the whole game, there is one area where we did not do well, that is, we are not dared to take and pass the ball in the opposing half. We lost the ball at the beginning of the game. Just think about it. If we dare to get and pass the ball within the 30-meter area of ​​the opponent, can Bayern Munich stop us?"

Looking at the current Barcelona players, not many have actually played in the Champions League knockouts.

Sudong and Deco are the only players among them who have played in the Champions League final.

Ronaldinho has played in the World Cup, but to a certain extent, the technical and tactical level of the World Cup is really inferior to the Champions League knockout stage, because the Champions League knockout stage has gathered the world's best football players, and the technical and tactical level is even better than that of the European Cup. high.

It is precisely because of inexperience that players start to be afraid of mistakes after losing the ball in the opening game.

But sometimes, the more afraid of mistakes, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Barcelona has too many invalid possessions, which just shows the player's mentality.

...

Rijkaard did not comment from beginning to end, he and Tencart were listening and recording carefully.

No one knew what he was thinking.

The only certainty is that he listens carefully to the opinions of the players.

This is actually a good tradition in the Barcelona locker room. For example, when the captain is selected, basically everyone is elected by universal suffrage. Whoever likes it is elected, and there is even no candidate.

However, after returning to Barcelona, ​​when the team started training, Rijkaard consciously wanted to try the high-position press tactic proposed by Su Dong.

Let me tell you, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] really good, it's worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!

This style of play was very rewarding against Real Madrid, but the problems are not small. The most important thing is excessive physical energy consumption.

When playing against Real Madrid, the main reason for the miraculous effect is that Real Madrid's own defense is very bad, and they are not active in pressing and oppressing. Especially for the superstars in the frontcourt, the defense is useless.

But even so, Barcelona's full-court press is still very expensive.

Bayern Munich is not Real Madrid, and it will only be more expensive to take a high position to press and oppress such a team.

It is even a question whether it can persist until the end of the game.

...

No one knows what the coaching staff is thinking, but during the weekend’s La Liga, Rijkaard performed a substantial rotation. Several core players, including Sudong and Ronaldinho, did not appear. .

Barcelona eventually drew with deputy squad leader Numancia in a one-to-one away game.

The team's defense is still unreasonable, although this time Marcos Senna started and played the whole game.

Entering March, midweek ushered in the 26th round of La Liga.

Barcelona host the Spaniard.

Although it was a derby in the same city, Rijkaard still stayed in this game.

In the end, the two teams played a zero to zero tie.

Ronaldinho and Soto played for 65 minutes, but neither did their best.

Everyone knows very well that Barcelona is now fully committed to the second round of the Champions League round of 16 next week.

Barcelona have enough league leads enough to ensure that the team temporarily focuses on the Champions League.

Over the weekend, the twenty-seventh round of La Liga.

Barcelona challenged Osasuna away.

Su Dong came off the bench in the second half and scored a goal for Barcelona in the 80th minute.

That is the goal of Su Dong, Barcelona defeated Osasuna 1-0 and scored a three-pointer.

After two straight draws, Barcelona finally won again.

But the Champions League decisive battle is imminent. Barcelona have performed poorly in the last three games. The defense is okay. They only conceded one goal in three games, but the offense is not satisfactory. They only scored two goals in three games.

After the game, the German media summarized four tactics against Barcelona.

First, sacrificing a forward and disrupting Barcelona’s defense; second, destroying the pass between Xavi and Deco and destroying Barcelona’s midfield organization; third, placing an iron bucket at the front of the penalty area, making Barcelona unable to attack Enter the big restricted area; the fourth and most important thing is to freeze the performance of Su Dong.

The German media's remarks have aroused considerable attention, and the set of play they summarized is indeed effective for Barcelona.

As early as after the Gamber Cup, AC Milan coach Ancelotti once said that once again let him meet Barcelona, ​​he will undoubtedly win, and then in La Liga, many teams have used this set. Come to deal with Barcelona.

To put it bluntly, it is to use numerical superiority to contain Barcelona's midfield, and then counterattack to attack Barcelona's fragile line of defense.

But in the face of Bayern Munich, Barcelona's biggest problem is not defense.

It's offensive.

The morning after playing Osasuna, Rijkaard and Tenkat left Su Dong alone after the recovery training.

They only asked Su Dong one question.

"In the face of Bayern, do you have the confidence to suppress Lucio?"
