Chapter 387 Core Level Treatment

When the game started, Barcelona still played the football they were good at-mainly to control the ball. The "old farmer" Deco who looked bitter looked in charge of controlling the rhythm of the team, while Ronaldinho was the core of the team's offense. He was closer to the team's goal and had a more direct threat to Werder Bremen.

To deal with these two, Werder Bremen sent a double midfielder in the midfield to contain them.

It was the same as the last confrontation, but the effect was actually not good.

Especially in defense against Ronaldinho.

Because Ronaldinho is really a very powerful genius!
He always has some unexpected performances. When faced with a difficult situation, others are at a loss, but he can use his talent to change the situation...

This is talent, and it cannot be easily cultivated through hard work.

So Bowman has been practicing with Rongguang before, but not only as a training partner for Rongguang, in fact, Shan Rongguang is also serving as a training partner for Bowman.

Rong Guang played the role of Ronaldinho in training.

And that's exactly who Bowman will be defending in the game.

Although the technical characteristics of Ronaldinho and Rongguang are different, but in terms of the difficulty of defense, there is not much difference.

Rongguang is very tenacious, and Ronaldinho has good skills. In training, Rongguang's tenacity can make up for his shortcomings that his skills are not as good as Ronaldinho's, allowing Bowman to experience the same defensive difficulty.

But in fact, Schaff doesn't really expect Bowman and Borowski to freeze these two talented players in Barcelona.And sticking to it is not the style Werder Bremen is good at.

He still pinned his hope of winning more on offense, or more precisely, on Rong Guang.

Rijkaard can think of using the control to compress Rongguang's sprint space to curb his performance. As Rongguang's head coach, how could Shaf not think of it?

Now everyone knows that Rong Guang is Werder Bremen's most important player. If he performs well, Werder Bremen's results will be good.If he sneezed, Werder Bremen would catch a cold.

So in this game, Barcelona will definitely make some countermeasures against Rongguang.

Due to time constraints, Rongguang's passing organization training has not yet been practiced enough to make people feel at ease and come in handy.Because of this, Schaff made some adjustments within his ability.

Although it can be seen from the starting lineup map of the two sides given by the TV broadcast, Werder Bremen played 442, and Rong Guang and Klose played forward.

But in fact, Glory's position in the game is a little more retreated.

In a position similar to the front waist.

But what he did was not the work of the midfielder.

His job is to score goals and the whole team is there for him to make sure he gets plenty of chances.

This is a bit like the treatment of Rongguang when he played in Sao Paulo.

In fact, Schaf did refer to Rongguang's playing style and tactical characteristics in Sao Paulo.

Allowing Rongguang to retreat can widen the gap between him and the back line and create some space for him. It's better than letting him directly cling to Barcelona's central defenders back to back, right?
Since everyone says that Werder Bremen relies on Glory, then we will rely on it more thoroughly!Make the most of him.

What happened next was out of Schaff's control.

He depends on Rongguang's personal ability and performance, and on Rongguang's current state.

He hopes that Rongguang can once again perform beyond everyone's expectations in the game, and then help Werder Bremen beat Barcelona, ​​just like he did in the last confrontation between the two teams.

Of course, Schaff also left himself a way out-this is something a head coach must consider, not to say that he voluntarily admits defeat, surrenders early or something.

If Werder Bremen can't win at home, then a draw is acceptable.

Werder Bremen are now two points ahead of Porto.If Werder Bremen draws with Barcelona in this game, they will lead by three points.Then Porto beat the Celtics to catch up to the same point.

In the case of the same score, werder Bremen has the upper hand for the time being - they defeated Porto 3:0 at home in the first round of the group stage. Not only did they win, but they also had three goal differences.

Therefore, in the case of the same score, Werder Bremen will still be ranked above Porto, ranking second.

Then in the last round, they challenged Porto away. As long as they draw, they can ensure that they will qualify as second in the group.

So fate is still in your own hands.

※※※

Werder Bremen, who played at home, did not shrink their defense. They played offensive football at home according to their own ideas-this is what Werder Bremen is best at and their favorite.You let them shrink to defend and force a draw at home. Although this is the best tactical choice, Werder Bremen is not good at it, and there is some resistance.

So Schaff didn't even consider relying on defense to force a tie at home.

If you really want to get a draw, it must be because you didn't succeed in trying to win, and you can only get a draw...

Barcelona is not the kind of team that will stick to it. They have the same philosophy as Werder Bremen-even if a draw is needed, they will not use shrinking defense to achieve such a result.It's against their football philosophy and it's something they disdain.

The two sides fought each other, and this game was played beautifully.

Werder Bremen and Barcelona came and went, and the fight was very lively.

On Barcelona's side, Ronaldinho is a well-deserved core of offense, and he is always the most dazzling figure.Although his tactical status in the team, he is not as important as Deco.But everyone will involuntarily focus on this ugly Brazilian.

Bowman's defense against Ronaldinho can be regarded as tight, almost close to the defense, never leaving, but even so, Ronaldinho can occasionally send some exquisite passes, or make amazing moves.

The commentators praised him: "Ronaldinho deserves to be Ronaldinho! Even if Werder Bremen's captain Baumann defends him closely, he is still one of the most threatening players in Barcelona!"

At the same time, on Werder Bremen's side, Rongguang also encountered the opponent's close defense.

The man who defended him in this game was not Deco, but was replaced by Edmilson, a member of the Brazilian national team.As the main central defender of the Brazilian national team in 2002, this player won the World Cup and also scored a beautiful barb in the group match against Costa Rica.

He can play as a central defender or as a midfielder.

Compared with Deco, he is obviously a full-time defender.

Rijkaard let him start the game just to deal with Rongguang.

Edmilson kept in mind the words of head coach Rijkaard, and defended Rongguang every step of the way during the game.

He is very desperate and hardworking, and he also wants to compete for a main position.

Now he is in Barcelona and can only play as a substitute.In the position of central defender, he cannot compete with Puyol and Mexican central defender Marcos.

He hopes that through the performance of this game, coach Rijkaard can re-understand himself and affirm his defensive ability.I am no worse than those two starting teammates!
※※※

Rong Guang didn't pay attention to Edmilson at the beginning, he didn't care if he was a Brazilian international or a World Cup champion, he just had to play according to his own style.

But as the game progressed, Rong Guang realized that the Brazilian player's defense made him very uncomfortable!
In this game, the glorious position is inserted a little later, which can be regarded as a midfielder, but in fact it is still a forward, but it is just a second forward, hidden behind Klose.Schaff's requirement for him is still to score goals.

Rong Guang thought so too.

He still prefers to score goals.

Hiding behind Klose will allow him to get more shooting opportunities, just like he was in Sao Paulo. He was in the midfielder position, but he played as a second striker, mainly scoring goals.

But when he just got the ball and was about to bring it into the penalty area, Rong Guang was hit by someone, and the ball was lost due to lack of preparation.

The first reaction to losing the glory of football is to turn around and grab it back.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Edmilson's back!
Edmilson did not covet possession of the ball, but quickly passed the football after stealing the ball.

Seeing him doing this, the head coach Frank Rijkaard nodded approvingly.

"He's very clear-headed." Assistant coach Henk Ten Cate also noticed Hrad's approach.

As a Brazilian defender, Edmilson will inevitably have the blood of Brazilian players who are good at attacking and like attacking in his veins. Otherwise, he would not have scored such a beautiful goal in the World Cup. It is a goal that is difficult for a striker to score...

In Brazil, such offensive central defenders are very common, and Lucio, who is currently playing for Bayern Munich, is also of this type. He is even more excessive than Edmilson.

Just because he knows the characteristics of these Brazilian defenders very well, Rijkaard is worried that Edmilson will steal the ball and run all the way to participate in the attack after he gets up in the game.

Rijkaard has studied Rongguang's game video in Brazil, and there is such a goal in it-after losing the ball in the frontcourt, he chased it back, chased it to the front of the penalty area and intercepted the ball, then turned around and brought the football forward, giving full play to his speed, and finally threw away everyone and hit the football into the goal...

He didn't want his team to be the backdrop for such a brilliant goal.

So he told Edmilson again and again before the game that his task in this game is to defend, and he doesn't need to do anything except defend.

There is no need for him to drive the ball forward for dozens of meters, pass five passes and kill six generals, and then score the football into Werder Bremen's goal.There is also no need for him to make a precise long pass in the backcourt to send the football directly to the feet of Barcelona's offensive players in the frontcourt.

It's just defense, just keep the glory.

As long as he can keep the glory, he will be the number one contributor to the team's away win and the first round in the group.

Now it seems that he can strictly abide by the tactical discipline and keep a clear mind. Maybe he can really defend against glory in this game?
