Chapter 683: Weak waist?All thanks to Rossi
"I have said many times that Real Madrid's defensive midfielder is a flaw, but our players can only make a fuss in one area!"

"Why?"

At halftime, Harvey looked at everyone with a displeased face.

He quickly drew several areas on the tactical board and said seriously: "Here, here, and here are all places where we can launch an attack. Why not try?"

"We have to mobilize the opponent's defense and make them tired so that we can find opportunities."

"Are you attacking a single point to increase the opponent's defensive success rate?"

When Harvey spoke, no one dared to say a word.

Once the number one midfielder in the world, do you dare to say that you know more about football than him?
"In the second half, I want you to counterattack, press, and keep that damn Camavinga in the backcourt. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Entering the second half, Barcelona began to strengthen the pressure in the frontcourt.

Xavi wants to take advantage of the five midfielders to suppress Real Madrid's weak defensive three midfielders.

Expanding vertical attack points during the offense and finding gaps between the defense lines is a characteristic of Barcelona in itself.

When there is a large gap in the defense, midfielders need to return to defense to fill it.

This is exactly the trap Xavi set for Real Madrid.

Camavinga can attack with the ball, but he is by no means a master of controlling the ball in the backcourt. Once he gets the ball in the midfielder position, he is immediately flanked by many Barcelona players.

Soon, Ancelotti realized something was wrong.

Real Madrid gradually lost the ball and was suppressed by Barcelona in the half.

The continuous pressure has made the defense somewhat shaky.

"Push forward, press forward!"

Every time Courtois passes the ball, he loudly reminds his teammates to pass the ball forward as much as possible.

The ball was held in the backcourt for a long time, and he was entangled with the opponent's forward within easy reach. This invisible pressure made Courtois very uncomfortable.

Under heavy pressure, Mendy passed the ball to Camavinga who retreated.

At the same time, Pedri spotted the timing of Real Madrid's pass and immediately pounced on Camavinga who was preparing the ball.

The two went to compete for the ball almost at the same time. Pedri fell to the ground first and made a sliding tackle, stealing the ball from Camavinga's feet.

Losing the ball in the backcourt, Real Madrid's defense suddenly became nervous.

After Messi controlled the ball first, he walked towards the center and pulled Real Madrid's defense upward.

Once Cross leaves the rib area, Lewandowski will occupy this area in an instant.

After the defense was mobilized, Messi saw the right opportunity and passed the ball to Lewandowski's feet in the ribs.

Stable holding of the ball in a small area is Lewand's advantage.

[Lewandowski gets the ball! 】

[Turn around and face the goal! 】

[Pass to the next point! 】

[Garvey shoots! 】

[The ball has scored! ! ! ! 】

[Just 5 minutes into the second half, Barcelona scored! 】

[The score came to 2:1! 】

[The game has not lost its suspense! 】

Harvey clenched his fists and swung them downwards.

His tactics were successful.

Real Madrid's weak waist is difficult to cover up under its technical midfield system.

Especially when facing a team as strong as Barcelona, ​​they were ruthlessly suppressed.

Taking advantage of Barcelona's attack, Ancelotti called Valverde to his side to lay out the next tactics.

The shortcomings in the midfield are difficult to remedy in a short time, and Ancelotti can only find another way.

Valverde on the right was pushed to the core of the offense.

Before that, Vinicius brought strength to the right.

Due to the ups and downs of the Brazilian winger after the World Cup, he was placed on the bench.

Valverde, who has the attributes of a winger, was entrusted with reuse.

But as the game progressed, Real Madrid's right-side attack showed no improvement.

Faced with Christensen and Valde's attack, Valverde was unable to create murderous opportunities on the wing.

Cooperation with Carvajal was also rejected by Barcelona's solid defense.Not only that, the energetic Balde, supported by center Lewandowski and technical midfielder, frequently attacked Real Madrid's right defense.

This resulted in Valverde and Carvajal struggling to defend.

What makes Real Madrid even more unhappy is that this tactic was originally built around Vinicius by Ancelotti.

Now copied and improved by Xavi, it has become a weapon against Real Madrid.

Unable to attack from the right, Real Madrid can only place its hope on the left where Rossi is.

In order to deal with Rossi's attack, Xavi arranged a combination of Conde and Araujo on the right.

Under the double-team of the two men, Rossi seemed a little helpless and even struggled.

In the 65th minute, Rossi went straight into the penalty area from the left rib. Araujo followed closely and had no chance to catch the ball.

In desperation, Cross could only find Benzema on the striker.

But Benzema was in an offside position at this time, and Real Madrid was forced to lose the ball.

The offense was in a deadlock and the defense was full of loopholes. Real Madrid played very passively from the beginning of the second half.

Losing the ball is a matter of time.

Off the court, Nacho and Ceballos have already warmed up and are ready to come on as substitutes at any time.

After the dead ball, Real Madrid made two substitutions.

Ancelotti also took the time to call Rossi to his side.

"Luo, go back and take over, don't let Camavinga get the ball!"

If you want to solve the current crisis, you must first break Barcelona's high press.

"Understood, sir!" Rossi took the time to replenish his fluids and said: "We can let Camavinga and Mendy move on the wings to widen the width of our formation."

Ancelotti was stunned, surprised by Rossi's proposal.

"Okay, let's do it. Remember, the first priority is to get the ball downfield."

Nacho replaces Carvajal and Ceballos replaces Modric.

Both of them were unable to maintain high-intensity confrontation due to declining physical fitness.

Real Madrid took a throw-in from the backcourt, and Barcelona immediately pounced on it.

Rossi and Valverde both retreated and formed a new midfielder with Ceballos and Kroos to jointly break Barcelona's high press.

Rossi has the skills and Valverde has the body. With the help of the two, the pressure on Real Madrid's midfield and backcourt suddenly decreased.

Harvey immediately sensed something was wrong.

Real Madrid, who are leading the score, can weaken their offensive power in exchange for an even match in the midfield. This is their biggest advantage.

Harvey naturally does not want to maintain this even situation.

Barcelona need a goal.

"Ronald, press forward!"

Due to Rossi's active retreat, Barcelona's threat on the right side became smaller, and Araujo had the opportunity to move forward.

The two sides continued to add more weight to the midfield, and the battle in the middle became more and more intense.

In the 78th minute, after Rossi received the ball near the center circle, he pulled the ball backward to avoid De Jong's attack, passed the ball to Ceballos, and then inserted himself into the penalty area from the center.

Although Araujo has offensive tasks, defending Rossi is his most important task in this game.

After Ceballos got the ball, he first saw Benzema advancing forward. He was about to drop the ball into the penalty area, but saw Rossi pointing behind him.

Camavinga was unguarded on the wing and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

good chance!
Ceballos immediately passed the ball to the wing, and the originally impregnable defense suddenly became wider.

Camavin brought the ball and raided the wing. Araujo could only abandon Rossi and move out of the penalty area to defend.

But what he didn't expect was that his teammates originally thought Ceballos was going to pass a direct pass to Benzema and had already set up an offside trap.

Who would have thought that Ceballos suddenly moved the ball to the left, leaving Araujo alone in the defense.

3v1!

Camavinga lobbed the ball into the penalty area, and Rossi jumped high at the front point.

shit!

Terschgent's face twisted in horror was beyond words.

Although he was unwilling to do so, he had to admit it.

He became the backdrop for Rossi's hat-trick.
