Chapter 1011 What to do?
In the end, Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 3-0 at home, disappointing Chelsea.

But just like John Mortensen said, the 22-day devil's schedule has only started less than half, and there are still four games. No one can tell what will happen between these four games.

Take a look at the first game between Manchester City and Barcelona.

It came four days later, whether it was fast or slow.

All eyes will be on the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in four days.

Manchester City themselves are even more so.

In fact, just after the game ended, the team turned their attention to the Champions League.

Benitez only gave the players half a day to rest, and then began the intense preparations for the Champions League.

And the preparation of the coaching staff is even earlier.

After confirming that the opponent was Barcelona, ​​Benitez started preparations. He used his contacts in Spain to help him find out about Barcelona's self-confidence. Every player was detailed, and even the substitute players who had few chances to play had a game report.

The next step is the tactical research countermeasures against Barcelona.

Today's Barcelona is at its peak, and they have played the ball to the extreme.

The tacit cooperation between the players and the balance of offense and defense, and they also have such a heaven-defying existence as Messi. It is he who keeps Barcelona's balance from becoming mediocre. He has the ability to change the situation.

That's why it will be painful for Barcelona's opponents.

They can often defend Barcelona as a whole, but they can't defend Messi. After putting too much defensive attention on Messi, it gives other Barcelona players an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Especially Iniesta, a low-key killer.

He is a midfielder, not the kind of striker who scores goals, and he does not score many goals.

But his goals are crucial.

Plus midfielder Harvey.

There is also a midfielder like Butzkes who controls the rhythm in the backcourt. From the perspective of the cards, Barcelona is almost impeccable.

Last year, Manchester City remained unbeaten in all competitions, but they only won an FA Cup and a Community Shield for honor. The gold content of these games was overshadowed by Barcelona.When many people mention the past 2009, the first thing that comes to mind is Barcelona, ​​not Manchester City.

Barcelona made rivals Real Madrid bow their heads in the league and smashed the Quartet in the Champions League.

It seems that no one can stop them.

This is a bit like the glory of the year, and almost no one can stop him from the glory of the year.

But Rongguang is one person, while Barcelona is a team. Without one person, the combat effectiveness of this team may decline, but it is still above the standard.

And before this game, Barcelona's main players were not injured or sick.

How to deal with Barcelona?
The difficulty for Benitez is that the first game is at home, and he can't even play a defensive counterattack.

In one's own home court, it is necessary to score goals and win. It is not safe to win less. If it is possible to win a big score.However, considering Barcelona's strength, Benitez does not expect to win a big score, as long as he can win, even conceding a goal is fine.

In this way, when they went to the away game in the second round, Manchester City could play their best and most familiar defensive counterattack, relying on Rongguang's speed to harass them in front, and everyone hoarded the backcourt.

In this way, the first round cannot be a defensive counterattack.

But if it's against Barcelona...

All the teams in the world who played against this Barcelona team lost miserably in the end...

Benitez is unwilling to take the risk.

Once the ball is lost in the first round, the away game in the second round will be more passive.

What should we do?

Benitez tugged at the hair on the top of his head, which was not much, thinking in distress.

※※※

When Benitez was racking his brains on how to deal with Barcelona, ​​on the Barcelona side, the most striking thing on Guardiola's computer screen was a large photo of Rong Guang.

Guardiola has studied Rongguang to the point of using Rongguang's photos as his work computer desktop.

As for other Manchester City players, he has never been so concerned.

He is very clear that the Manchester City team is different from Barcelona. Even without Messi, Barcelona is still a very competitive team, but what about Manchester City?Without glory, they are nothing.

So it is not so much "how to deal with Manchester City", but "how to deal with Rongguang".

Guardiola has heard about how powerful Rongguang is, but he has not studied it in depth.

Now taking this opportunity, he found that the more he researched, the more frightened he became.

Because this glory has almost no weaknesses!
In terms of physical fitness, you can't tell that he looks like a person with a serious ankle injury.The speed and the injury are not slowed down at all, and the explosive power is stronger.

Although Rong Guang is not the kind of player who is very muscular at first glance, he is not weak. In the Premier League, which is known for its toughness and physical confrontation, he can play with ease, which shows how his physical confrontation ability is.

Physical fitness? "Physical exhaustion" never happened to Rong Guang, he was like a nuclear engine with wireless energy.Regarding his point, a special organization has done statistics. Rongguang's sprint speed at the beginning of the game is almost the same as his sprint speed in the final stage of the game.Even in some games, Rongguang ran faster at the end of the game than at the beginning of the game.

Physically, Rong Guang has no weaknesses at all, and he is a player who very much meets the requirements of modern football.

Technically, Rongguang is also very powerful.He's adept at handling the ball, and while he may not be as flamboyant as some players who entertain fans with fancy tricks, consider him a guy who can feint a bull's tail at high speeds to get an idea of ​​how good his ball handling is.

There are a lot of players who are good with the ball at a standstill or in a slow state, let them dribble the ball at high speed?The possession of the ball one by one is terrible. Controlling the ball during high-speed running is recognized as difficult, but this is no pressure for Rongguang. Want to snatch the football from his feet?Maybe it takes a little slamming.

Rongguang's passing skills may not be as good as Harvey's, but for a player like him, it is enough. He occasionally makes a heel assist, but more often he tears the opponent's defense line during the dribbling process, and then sends the football. As long as the pass is accurate, it does not require much imagination.

Not to mention Rong Guang's shooting skills, just look at the number of goals he scored. It is absolutely impossible for a player with poor shooting skills to score so many goals in his career, not to mention that most of the time he does not appear in the game as a striker.

Rongguang's shooting ability is also reflected in his colorful shooting methods.In addition to the normal shot with his right foot, he can also curve the ball outside the instep of his right foot, which often has miraculous effects when cutting in from the right.In addition, his left foot volley is also a must.In addition to the balance of left and right feet, his header is also very good. His excellent speed allows him to have excellent jumping ability. Many of his headers rely on his excellent jumping force to overwhelm the opponent and score for the top.

In addition to left and right feet and headers, Rongguang is also an excellent free kick shooter. His free kicks have only been practiced in the last two seasons, but he has improved rapidly, and he has mastered the arc of the left foot and the right foot.

If there is any technical problem, it may be that the glory of the long pass and the cross is not particularly good.But as a midfielder who is closer to the goal, no one will blame him for his poor crosses and long passes-it is almost useless.Of course, he will also break through the cross from the side, but his cross is not the same as the traditional cross. It is not the kind of arc high ball pass outside the penalty area, but a cross from the side to the penalty area.

This kind of ball does not need any arc, just stick to the ground and send it to the empty space accurately.

Glory is also very strong in terms of spiritual quality.This can be seen from his rapid recovery after suffering a serious ankle injury. He seems to have no shadow at all about the ankle injury.

And it can be clearly seen that Rongguang is a big-time player. The more important the game, the stronger the opponent, the better his performance. It seems that there is a feeling of "when you meet the strong, you will be strong".

There is another very powerful example of good quality that embodies glorious will, and that is penalty kicks.

Rongguang is not the top shooter of penalty kicks in any team, but this is not because Rongguang's penalty kicks are not good. In fact, Rongguang has taken a few penalty kicks, and he scored all of them, with a [-]% hit rate.The reason why he didn't kick a penalty was once asked by the media. Rongguang's answer at that time left many people speechless.

Because penalty kicks are too easy to score, Rong Guang disdains to rely on penalty kicks to increase his number of goals.

Only a person who is honorable can say such a thing...

The previous glory was still a bit "independent", but after Benitez put the captain's armband on him, his problems in this area have also converged a lot, and he pays more attention to assisting his teammates and creating scoring opportunities for them, while hiding himself behind the scenes.

So you can't use the method of increasing the number of defenders to defend Rongguang. You can arrange four people to follow Rongguang all the time, but what about other Manchester City players?The balance of this game has been completely broken.

No matter how bad Manchester City's players are, isn't it the same as in training if they want to score goals without marking?

And Sneijder, David Silva and Berbatov are not unknown people in international football.

But if you only arrange one person, or two people to defend Rongguang, it's meaningless...

Although you only need to deal with Rongguang alone to deal with Manchester City, in fact there is no difference, and Barcelona does not have any more advantages than Manchester City.

Guardiola kept rubbing the top of his head with few hairs with his hands, wanting to pull the hair in annoyance, but every time he grabbed it, there was only air...

This empty feeling is really bad.
