Chapter 140: Alarm lifted? (First update, please give me a monthly vote!)

If you persist in doing anything for twenty or thirty years, you may reach the extreme and achieve the peak.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Barcelona can achieve its current brilliant results, nor is it mysterious or amazing. Because this is a legitimate reward for their persistence in their football philosophy for decades.

So will Barcelona become invincible?

Naples, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was the first to stand up and expressed his disagreement.

From the first minute of the game, the entire Naples team was like a chicken blood, putting great pressure on Barcelona.

This pressure is not only reflected in the offense, but also in defense. Napoli also worked very hard. They insisted on the tactics of Camp Nou in the first round, deployed heavy troops in their midfield, cut off Messi and Xavi, and at the same time closely monitored the movements of "Xiaobai" Iniesta.

In addition, the troops are stationed in the back defense, and the defenders are not allowed to easily assist and leave their position.

After studying Barcelona's football, Mazari felt that Barcelona was best at using back and forth back foot and passes to disrupt the opponent's defense line. Once the opponent's defensive formation is pulled apart by Barcelona's passing and running position, there will be no room for them. These spaces may not be fatal when facing other opponents. However, the players of Barcelona's team are skilled and very good at using these small spaces. They pass the ball very accurately and maintain the distance very suitable, and rarely have long-distance transmissions, which greatly increases the success rate of fatal direct passes.

Therefore, the most effective way to defend Barcelona's fierce offensive is to maintain your defensive formation without being messed up. No matter how the opponent passes or runs, don't be pulled out of your position.

Mazarri has been asking players to strictly guard their defensive positions in training no matter what the situation is encountered.

This kind of defense may be a bit dull and lacks flexibility. It may be problematic to deal with other teams, but it is very suitable to deal with Barcelona.

In addition, in order to strengthen such a defensive effect, Mazarri had to ask the team to withdraw to the 30-meter area when defending, except Chen Yingxiong. Increasing the number of defensive players in the unit space can make up for some loopholes in the defense. After all, there are only four people in a back line, and there are always places that cannot be taken care of.

Doing so requires very high physical fitness for the players.

So in the last round of the league, Mazari sent all substitutes to play on Lazio in order to keep the main players strong and play Barcelona.

The two games in a row for a week are a huge burden on the team's physical fitness. For this game, Mazarri really gave up the domestic league completely.

But he received a reward. Napoli is currently performing well in the game, and Barcelona can do nothing to them at the moment.

Coupled with the tsunami-like huge cheers at the Sao Paulo Stadium, this home court is really terrifying...

※ ※ ※

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, with her hands in her pockets and frowned.

The situation and the scene are not optimistic.

Five or six minutes into the game, Barcelona had two shots. Logically, this shouldn't make him frown. But what if the two shots were a hasty helpless move?

I kept looking for opportunities, but I couldn't find any chance after falling for a long time, but I let the Naples players get closer and closer. In the end, in order to prevent the ball from being lost, I had to shoot a long shot. The shot was either high or biased, which was also outrageous.

How could such an offensive make him happy?

Napoli retreated quickly in defense and handed over the ball possession. This initially surprised Guardiola, but soon he discovered that this was intentional. Napoli's tactical ideas should be in line with the first round, but more improvements were made in the second round, such as giving up ball possession and giving up more thoroughly. They did not care whether the scene was good or not.

As long as Barcelona can be eliminated, it will be the biggest victory.

Faced with such a tactic, how can Barcelona break it?

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, thinking hard.

But time waits for no one, and a game takes ninety minutes. The situation of the game is still changing, and the storm is surging on the court.

When he came up with a countermeasure, where has the game been held?

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong thinks he is in good condition today and is in good heat!

Because he had a fire in his heart, the fire had been held back since Casano got sick until now. He wanted to open up all the fire and bring Casano a victory.

Since you are in good condition and hot, you must vent it as soon as possible.

Although Barcelona was fighting against Naples in the first few minutes, it seemed like Barcelona had the advantage, and Naples could be captured at any time.

But Chen Yingxiong knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon.

When the team was defending, he was cruising near the central circle, waiting for a counterattack opportunity. Unfortunately, Naples had two counterattacks, and after the football was passed by a big foot, he could not receive the ball. Barcelona really "careed" to him and sent someone to defend him, but it was still Pique. This time Pique's attitude was obviously more cautious.

It seems that he was completely scared by Chen Yingxiong in the last game...

These two counterattacks were not achieved. In addition to the fact that Chen Yingxiong was followed by Pi Kui in an endless step, there is another important reason that other teammates did not come up to support him, making him unable to speak alone.

However, after more than six minutes, Barcelona's offensive slowed down, and they also needed to adjust their pace and could not always attack fiercely. Because they had already seen that Naples was playing the defensive counterattack, and they wanted the whole Barcelona team to put on the attack, so that they would be empty behind them.

This is good news for Chen Yingxiong. He is not afraid of the opponent's defense shrinking because he is a powerful center and a heavy weapon that specializes in breaking intensive defense.

On the contrary, Barcelona's retracement and slowdown can instead allow Naples to push forward a little and organize more offensives.

In this way, Chen Yingxiong will receive more support.

※ ※ ※

In the eighth minute, Naples pressed up to attack. Sanchez received a pass from Hamsik on the right. He looked up at Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong raised his arm and signaled Sanchez to pass the football to him.

But Sanchez did not do this because he saw Chen Yingxiong on the penalty area line, which was a little far from the goal, and there was a Pique who followed him in an endless step. The Chilean felt that even if it passed, Chen Yingxiong might not be able to receive this ball. Even if he received it, he would probably have to lose it under Pique's close defense.

So he just looked up and took the football forward and broke through.

Seeing that Sanchez did not pass the football to him, Chen Yingxiong had to run in front of the goal. As a result, Sanchez's simple breakthrough was seen through by the opponent. Barcelona's defender Abidal forced Sanchez to a dead end. In desperation, Sanchez had to kick the football on Abidal and bounced out of the sideline. At least he scored an out-of-bounds ball for the team...

Naples threw the out-of-bounds ball.

This time, he did not get entangled with Barcelona on the right side. After receiving the ball, Hamsik quickly transferred the football to the left side, and the football reached Arshavin's feet.

Chen Yingxiong once again raised his arms high on the penalty area line.

Arshavin also looked up and saw Chen Yingxiong holding his arms, and of course he also saw Pique who was following him in a hurry. In addition, there was another central defender Puyor from Barcelona, ​​and there was also Busques near them.

But Al Shavin still firmly passed the football over.

"Arshavin made a cross directly!"

※ ※ ※

The flight trajectory of this ball is a bit high, so only in this way can it be avoided to be intercepted and killed in the middle.

The football flew high, everyone saw it, and the Barcelona players were ready.

Even Buskes, who had been watching from the side before, decisively gave up the idea of ​​guarding the middle lane and rushed directly to Chen Yingxiong, intending to use his body to squeeze Chen Yingxiong and interfere with his catch.

At the same time, Puyol and Pikui quickly made a division of labor - Pikui jumped up first to compete with Chen Yingxiong for the top, which forced Chen Yingxiong to control the football, and Puyol was waiting for an opportunity to intercept the ball.

Perfect defensive tactics.

So when Chen Yingxiong made a stance to jump - lower the center of gravity, then kicked out his legs and jumped up... When Pi Kui jumped up first, he planned to push the football out before Chen Yingxiong. Although the strategy was to break the football together, if he could get it in one step, wouldn't it be better if he cleared the football out first?

Unexpectedly, while his body soared into the air like a rocket, he caught a glimpse of Chen Yingxiong not dancing with him from the corner of his eyes. His body did jump up, but he just put the toes on his feet!

This is clearly a fake move!

Damn it! Damn it!

This is the only thought after Pique discovered this fact.

Because he knew why the opponent had to use fake moves, because he was destined to not be able to hit the ball...

Chen Yingxiong was indeed quite accurate in judging the landing point of the football. He used the fake jumping action to trick Pi Kui into jumping first, because he couldn't beat the ball at this position!

He saw Pikui jumping and took a step to the other side - that was the landing point of the football.

Sure enough, although Pi Kui tried his best to jump, he was unable to reach the football, and he didn't even get the football's skin.

At this time, he can only count on Puyol!

※ ※ ※

When Puyor saw Pi Kui jumping up, he thought Chen Yingxiong gave up competing for this ball with Pi Kui. Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong took a step back and indeed appeared at the real landing point of football, and his teammate Pi Kui didn't even touch football at all!

"Pique is over!" The Catalan narrator exclaimed, his voice changing.

On the penalty area line, the central defender is on the top, what does that mean?

A good enough shooter would not let such an opportunity slip away from him!

So like Pique, he could only count on Puyol.

This is a blessing in disguise. Puyor, the Dinghai Shenzhi on the team's defense line, has not lost his position yet. He did not panic, but instead pounced at Chen Yingxiong decisively.

It is unlikely to push the ball away from Chen Yingxiong's head.

Now all Puyor has to do is to use his body to hit Chen Yingxiong. If the opponent wants to head the ball directly, it will interfere with his shot. If it is a stop, it will make him unable to stop the ball well.

Of course, the degree of this impact needs to be grasped well. However, as an experienced old central defender, Puyol is still fine in this regard.

Even if Chen Yingxiong cannot lose control of football, as long as he cannot get rid of himself, the chances of winning this time will be quite high!

Because as long as he bought time, Pique and Busques could come over, and the three of them formed a siege against Chen Yingxiong. No matter how powerful he was, he would definitely not be able to get rid of it.

He is not Messi, and his foot ball control skills are very poor. This has been mentioned in previous information about Chen Yingxiong.

So as long as Puyol and the others can successfully force Chen Yingxiong to control the ball with their feet, at this point, Barcelona will basically succeed in defending.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong seemed to feel that Puyol wanted to hit him, so he turned sideways and crossed his back between the football and Puyol. Then... prepare to face this attack!

The impact is almost with football.

He opened his arms and stopped the ball with his chest. At the same time, Puyol ran into behind him.
To be continued...
