Controlling the ball is risky, so be cautious when passing the ball.

This is a sentence that all coaches know.

Compared with the useless theory of ball control, the biggest advantage of the theory of ball control is that it can control the game to the maximum extent. However, controlling the game requires a price, and this price is like the famous bomb delivery game. When the bomb is in your hands, as long as it has not yet reached the time for explosion, you are the safest person, and the time for holding the bomb is the risk you need to bear. Because if you are not careful, the bomb may explode in your hands.

The most successful thing about Barcelona is that they can always send the bomb into the opponent's goal at the most appropriate time. But the problem now is that no matter how you hook up, Malaga just won't accept it. Not only do they don't accept it, they set up layers of obstacles in the middle to prevent you from passing the bomb, which is a bit pitfall. It is precisely because of this that Guardiola had the idea of ​​throwing the bomb into the opponent's hands at the beginning.

Because Malaga is not Barcelona, ​​if they come to hold the bullet, it is very likely that they will blow themselves to death. However, as soon as this idea emerged, it was immediately rejected by Guardiola and even felt deeply ashamed.

It's not that it doesn't work, it's not feasible.

Because Guardiola knew that once Barcelona gave up possession, they might really win the game, but they would lose more. First of all, tens of thousands of fans outside could not agree, which was tantamount to betraying their faith. On the other hand, Guardiola's arrogance could not be suppressed: When will Barcelona also need to abandon their traditions for teams like Malaga?! They need to give up their football philosophy for a mere league game?

Even if it is temporary, it is unforgivable.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Although Lin Sen made a lot of explanations in the locker room, he seemed to have a lot of ideas about this game, but Lin Sen's attitude towards this game has never changed. The reason why Malaga started so smoothly is "unfamiliar". This is not only from the whole season but also from a single game.

And strangers will gradually become familiar with each other.

Barcelona in the second half was obviously much more familiar with Malaga's style of play.

In the first half, they were like a veteran in love, skillfully using various pursuit routines to the girl on the other side. They thought the other party would easily take the bait, but they didn't expect that the other party was not moved at all. Then, although they might not know what the other party likes, at least they already knew what the other party didn't like.

Guardiola's new method is to increase incision and long shots.

Barcelona has the most powerful assaulter in the world. Messi, who was completely liberated after Ronaldo left, actually performed well in the first half. His extraordinary performance was still unsolvable. It was just that Malaga had accumulated too many people in the penalty area. Often, when Messi was perfect, he found that he had no shot angle and could only shoot or pass the ball in a hasty shot. In the second half, Guardiola asked Messi to change his role, from a terminator to a disruptor. As for long shots, it was actually a very unreliable offensive method, because it was the same as basketball games, the closer he got to the goal, the greater the chance of scoring. However, in order to break the opponent's intensive defense, Guardiola had to use some special means.

While Barcelona is actively seeking change, Malaga is also seeking change.

The two most obvious points, Lewandowski and Cork, stared at the back of the opponent like a nail at the beginning of the second half, always peeking at the opportunity to score. And Cork, who could become Barcelona's pass control background, became much more tough in the second half.

In the 66th minute, Xavi organized an attack in the midfield. When he saw Cork step forward, he passed the ball to Iniesta without thinking. Iniesta immediately passed the ball back to Yaya Toure behind. This was an ordinary triangle pass. The next step should be Yaya Toure, who has a better vision, and the ball was handed back to Xavi's feet. But this time, Yaya Toure had just sent the ball over, but found that Cork rushed towards Xavi at almost the same time as the ball.

Harvey, who could not dodge, had no time to pass the ball out again, and was stopped by Cork and his men.

Harvey got up and pushed Cork. Originally, with Harvey's qualifications, he would never care about young people like Cork. He was so angry that he had already been holding back this game. Although Cork was young and energetic, he still lost his anger when facing his favorite star. At this time, Gabby nearby ran over and protected Cork directly behind him, looking at Harvey with a cold look.

So, Lin Sen on the sidelines was a little surprised to see an angry indigo ignited on Gaby's head, who had always been calm. But soon, he understood the reason.

Cork and Gabby both came from Atletico Madrid.

In fact, compared to Games wearing the captain's armband, Games is often more like the captain on the court. Not only because of his style of play and personality, but more importantly, once there is a dispute on the court, he can always come forward as soon as possible. Instead, Games often plays the role of peacemakers. Lin Sen also likes to hear about this. One blushed face and the other black face. Anyway, he is not worried that his players will suffer losses.

Seeing that the two sides had a little gunpowder smell, the referee hurried over and gave an equal penalty, each with fifty boards, each with a yellow card.

Camp Nou booed again. Obviously, Barcelona fans thought Cork had a foul first, and Xavi's move was understandable and could not meet the yellow card at all.

Football matches are not uncommon for such small episodes, but no one expected that this small episode would become the fuse to decide this game, because, a few minutes later, Gabi received Malaga's first red card of the season.

It seemed that he was inspired by Gabi's rise for Cork. Barcelona players began to frequently attack Gabi's defensive area in the following time. Not only did Messi often use Gabi as a breakthrough, and soon drew a yellow card from him. Xavi and Iniesta also regarded him as a breakthrough. When they saw Gabi, who was usually calm, shoveling against Xavi, Lin Sen knew it was going to be bad.

Sure enough, the red card appeared.

Lin Sen took a deep breath, walked to the sidelines, and patted Gabi, whose head suddenly changed color when the referee made a card-cutting action.

"Sorry, Mr. Coach."

Lin Sen heard Gaby's slightly low voice, and he smiled and said nothing.

He doesn't blame Gabi, but Gabi should indeed apologize. The impact of his fate on Malaga is not just about one less person. More importantly, this will make Lin Sen's hard-working defensive system instantly less important. The game has 15 minutes left. Give a team like Barcelona an advantage of more than one person in fifteen minutes, which almost sentenced all Malaga's previous efforts to wasted.

In the 79th minute, Malaga, who had Gabi missing in the midfield, finally had a defensive loophole. After Yaya Toure received a reverse triangle pass from Messi at the front of the penalty area, he calmly shot and sent the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

The deadlock was broken!

In the 85th minute, after Messi repeatedly passed by the front of the penalty area, he passed the ball straight to find Henry. Henry's push shot made Godia's whip.

Barcelona secured the victory.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Camp Nou's applause made Lin Sen feel a little regretful.

In this game, he thought about what difficulties he would encounter. The invisible pressure from the Camp Nou stands, the suppression of Barcelona players' strength, and even the possible partiality of the referee were within his consideration. He asked himself that he had dealt well, but he still lost the game. The turning point of the game was undoubtedly Gabi's fate, but after all, if it weren't for Cork, Gabi might not have been angered by the opponent.

But Lin Sen, how could he think that Gabi, who has always been calm, suddenly loses control of his emotions? Lin Sen really wants to blame the referee, but even he himself knows that it is just an excuse.

Seeing Guardiola who had not yet shined on her body, Lin Sen took a few more breaths, then changed into a calmer expression and greeted her...

“The game is very good, Malaga is a good team.”

Lin Sen felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Guardiola's words. What is the difference between this and saying that you are a good person after being dumped?

"Thank you." Lin Sen's answer was very polite, with a neither salty tone nor light, "Barcelona is also good."

Afterwards, the two of them went to congratulate or comfort their team members without talking.

The frustration of the Malaga players is written on the top of Lin Sen's head in Lin Sen's eyes. Lin Sen can understand their disappointment. In this game, before Gaby left the game, Malaga almost saw hope of getting out of the Camp Nou, but in the end it failed. The failure of many things really made people feel frustrated not after despair, but after seeing hope.

A moment later, just when most Barcelona fans were already focusing on how to go home, Lin Sen suddenly made an action to his players that surprised everyone and also made the entire Camp Nou angry.

He stretched out his right hand, stretched his palm to support his chin...

Raise your head!

This simple action almost focused the whole world's attention.

"God, he knows what he is doing? Does he know this is Camp Nou?"

"Damn the jumping clown! How dare he make that person's logo here?!"

"Go to die! Do you think you won the game?"
