Chapter 464 Alarm Cleared? (First update, ask for a monthly pass!)

Any one thing, if you persist in doing it for 30 to [-] years, you may be able to reach the extreme and achieve the pinnacle.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Barcelona can achieve today's brilliant results, and there is nothing mysterious or amazing about it.Because this is a legitimate reward for sticking to their football philosophy for decades.

So will Barcelona become invincible because of this?
Naples, who is not afraid of anything, was the first to stand up and express his disapproval.

From the first minute of this game, the whole Naples team seemed to have been beaten, putting great pressure on Barcelona.

This kind of pressure is not only reflected in the offense, Naples is also working hard on the defense.They insisted on the tactics of the Nou Camp in the first round, deploying heavy troops in their own midfield, cutting off the connection between Messi and Harvey, while paying close attention to the movements of "Little White" Iniesta.

In addition, the troops are stationed in the defense, and the defenders are not allowed to easily assist and step forward and leave their positions.

After studying Barcelona's football, Mazari felt that Barcelona is best at using back and forth and passing to disrupt the opponent's defense.These gaps may not be fatal when facing other opponents.But all the players in Barcelona's team are skilled and are very good at using these small gaps. They pass the ball very accurately, and the distance is very suitable. There are very few long-distance passes, which greatly increases the fatality. transmission success rate.

So to defend against Barcelona's fierce offensive, the most effective way is to keep your defensive formation from chaos.No matter how the opponent passes and runs, don't be pulled out of your position.

Mazari has been asking the players to strictly guard their defensive positions no matter what the situation they encounter in training.

This kind of defense may be a bit rigid and lacks flexibility.It may be problematic against other teams, but against Barcelona, ​​it is very suitable.

In addition, in order to strengthen the effect of such a defense, Mazari asked the team to withdraw to the 30-meter area except for Chen Yingxiong when defending.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 players in a back line, and there are always places that cannot be taken care of.

Doing so places high physical demands on the players.

Therefore, in the last round of the league, Mazari sent all substitutes to play against Lazio, just to keep the main players strong enough to play against Barcelona.

A week of double matches in a row is a great burden on the physical fitness of the whole team.For this game, Mazari really gave up the domestic league completely.

But he was rewarded.Naples is currently performing very well in the game, and Barcelona has nothing to do with them for a while.

Coupled with the tsunami-like huge cheers from the St. Paul Stadium, this home stadium is really terrifying...

※ ※ ※

Guardiola stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, frowning.

The situation and the scene are not optimistic.

Five or six minutes into the game, Barcelona had two shots, which logically should not have made him frown.But what if shooting with two feet is a hasty and helpless move?

He continued to look for opportunities, but he couldn't find opportunities for a long time, but the Naples players got closer and closer. In the end, in order to prevent the ball from being lost, he had to take a long shot. The shot was either high or wide. It's outrageous.

How could such an offensive make him happy?

Naples retreated quickly in defense and handed over possession of the ball completely.This surprised Guardiola at first, but he soon realized it was intentional.Naples' tactical thinking should be in the same line as the first round, but more improvements were made in the second round, such as giving up possession of the ball more thoroughly.They don't care whether the scene looks good or not.

As long as Barcelona can be eliminated, it is the greatest victory.

Faced with such tactics, how can Barcelona break through?

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, thinking hard.

But time waits for no one. A game lasts nine to 10 minutes. The situation of the game is still changing, and the field is turbulent.

When he comes up with a countermeasure, how far has the game progressed?
※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong thinks he is in good condition today, he is hot!

Because there is a fire in his heart, which has been suppressed since Cassano got sick until now.He wants to open fire and give Cassano a victory.

Now that he is in a good state and is hot, it is natural to vent it as soon as possible.

Although in the first few minutes, Barcelona was playing against Naples, it seemed that Barcelona had the upper hand, 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 center circle, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.But unfortunately, Naples had two counterattacks. After the football was passed by Bigfoot, he failed to receive the ball.Barcelona really "take care" of him, sending someone to defend him, still Piqué.This time Piqué's attitude is obviously more cautious.

It seems that he was terrified by Chen Yingxiong in the last match...

These two counterattacks failed. Apart from Chen Yingxiong being followed by Pi Kui every step of the way, another important reason was that other teammates did not come up to support him, leaving him alone.

However, after more than six minutes, Barcelona's offensive slowed down, and they also needed to adjust their rhythm, instead of always attacking blindly.Because they have already seen that Naples is playing a defensive and counterattack idea. They hope that the whole Barcelona team will press the onslaught, so that there will be empty spaces behind them.

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

On the contrary, Barcelona's retracement and slowing down the pace can instead allow Naples to properly press a little bit and organize more offensives.

In this way, Chen Yingxiong will receive more support.

※ ※ ※

In the 8th minute, Naples came forward to attack. Sanchez received the ball from Hamsik on the right. He looked up at Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong raised his arm and signaled Sanchez to pass the football to himself.

But Sanchez did not do this, because he saw that Chen Yingxiong was on the penalty area line, a little far from the goal, and besides him was Piqué who followed him every step of the way.The Chilean felt that even if the pass passed, Chen Yingxiong might not be able to receive the ball, and even if he received it, he would probably have to miss it under Pikui's close defense.

So he just looked up, took the football forward, buried his head and broke through.

Seeing that Sanchez did not pass the football to him, Chen Yingxiong had no choice but to run towards the goal. As a result, Sanchez's simple breakthrough was seen through by the opponent. Barcelona defender Abidal forced Sanchez to a dead end. In desperation, Sanchez had to kick the football at the goal Abidal bounced off the sideline.Anyway, I caught a throw-in for the team...

Napoli throws the ball out of bounds.

This time, instead of entangled with Barcelona on the right, Hamsik quickly transferred the football to the left after receiving the ball, and the football reached Arshavin's feet.

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

Arshavin also looked up. He saw Chen Yingxiong with his arms raised, and of course he saw Piqué who followed him every step of the way. In addition, there was Puyo, another central defender of Barcelona. Well, near them there was Butzkes.

But Arshavin still resolutely passed the football.

"Arshavin made a direct cross!"

※ ※ ※

The trajectory of the ball's flight is a bit high, and only in this way can it avoid being intercepted midway.

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

Even Butzkes, who was watching from the sidelines before, decisively gave up the idea of ​​guarding the middle, and rushed directly to Chen Yingxiong's side, intending to use his body to squeeze Chen Yingxiong and interfere with him receiving the ball.

At the same time, Puyol and Pikui also quickly made a division of labor - Pikui first jumped up and competed with Chen Yingxiong, which forced Chen Yingxiong to be unable to control the football, while Puyol waited for the opportunity to move, Take the opportunity to steal the ball.

A perfect defensive tactic.

So when Chen Yingxiong made a jumping posture—lowering the center of gravity, then kicking out his legs vigorously, and jumping up..., Pi Kui jumped up first, and he planned to grab the football before Chen Yingxiong. Push out.Although the strategy is to work together to break the football, wouldn't it be better if he could do it in one step and clear the football himself first?
Unexpectedly, when his body soared into the air like a rocket, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Chen Yingxiong didn't jump with him. His body did jump up, but he just stood on his toes. !
This is clearly a fake move!

Oh shit!Damn it!
This was Piqué's only thought after discovering this fact.

Because he knew why the opponent used fake moves, because he was destined not to hit the ball...

Chen Yingxiong was quite accurate in judging where the football would land. He tricked Pi Kui into jumping first by using a fake jump, because he couldn't touch the ball at this position!
He saw Piqué take off and took a step to the other side - that's where the football landed.

Sure enough, although Pikui tried his best to take off, he couldn't touch the football, and he didn't even touch the skin of the football.

This time he can only count on Puyol!

※ ※ ※

Seeing Pikui jumping up, Puyol thought that Chen Yingxiong had given up fighting for the ball with Pikui. Who would have thought that Chen Yingxiong would take a step back and indeed appear at the real point of the football, while his teammate Pikui was not at all. Not even a football!
"Pique's top!" exclaimed the Catalan commentator, his voice changing.

On the line of the penalty area, the central defender takes off the top, what does that mean?
A good enough shooter will not let such an opportunity slip away from him!

So he, like Piqué, can only count on Puyol.

This is the luck of misfortune. Puyol, who is the pinnacle of the team's defense, has not lost his position. He did not panic, but rushed to Chen Yingxiong decisively.

It is already impossible to push the ball above Chen Yingxiong's head.

All Puyol has to do now is to hit Chen Yingxiong with his body. If the opponent wants to shoot with a header directly, he will interfere with his shot.If it is to stop the ball, let him stop the ball badly.

Of course, the speed of this impact needs to be grasped well.However, as an experienced old central defender, Puyol still has no problem in this regard.

Even if Chen Yingxiong can't lose control of the football, as long as he can't get rid of himself, the chances of winning this defense are quite high!
Because as long as he buys time, Pikui and Butzkes can rush over, and the three of them will form a siege against Chen Yingxiong. No matter how powerful he is, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it.

He is not Messi, his ball control skills are very poor.This point was mentioned in the previous intelligence about Chen Yingxiong.

So as long as Puyol and the others can successfully force Chen Yingxiong to control the ball with his feet, at this point, it is basically considered that Barcelona's defense has succeeded.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong seemed to feel that Puyol wanted to hit him, so he turned slightly and put his back between the football and Puyol.Then... get ready for the onslaught!
Shock almost comes with football.

He spreads his arms and stops the ball with his chest.At the same time, Puyol bumped up from behind.

The imaginary situation did not appear, and Chen Yingxiong didn't even shake his body, but the football didn't stop steadily, but bounced again!

This is a stop error!

Did Chen Yingxiong affect the stopping of the ball under Puyol's collision?

Perhaps Puyol knew a little bit of the reason—when he knocked down Chen Yingxiong's body, he didn't feel that he had hit the flesh, and there would be a soft feeling of cushioning.No, it's a hard contact, it feels like hitting metal...

Because at that moment, the muscles of Chen Yingxiong's upper body contracted rapidly, and the soft body turned into an object comparable to steel in an instant.

It stands to reason that when the chest stops the ball, it should be when the football falls. When the ball runs to the moment before it touches the chest, the center of gravity moves back quickly, retracts the chest, and relaxes the muscles to buffer the impact of the football. It is equivalent to treating the chest as a meat pads.

But Chen Yingxiong did the exact opposite. He contracted and tightened his chest muscles. At that moment, his chest was like an iron plate. How could the football fall to buffer the force of the fall, and then obediently stop at Chen Yingxiong? What can be controlled?
Therefore, no matter from the superficial or deep-seated reasons, Chen Yingxiong made a mistake in this high ball.Of course, if he stops the ball according to the general chest stop technique, then he may not be able to keep his body stable under the impact of Puyol, which will actually cause a stop error...

Barcelona fans breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the ball bouncing high again.

The air raid siren was lifted.
