Chapter 520 Messi's super strength

The game scene is a little dull.

The so-called unnamed game of the competition, although it cannot be generalized, but most of them are like this. After all, there are too many interests involved in the final of the competition. It is a crucial game for the players and the team. Meet for the first time.

Before today, Dortmund and Barcelona have never had a record of a formal match in history. In fact, even in an informal match, Dortmund and Barcelona have no record of a match. At least from the information that can be queried so far, the two teams should be never met in history.

Although everyone knows that Barcelona's style of play is possession, tikitaka, and Dortmund's style of play is high pressure and quick counterattacks, but this is all on paper.

Facing an opponent that has never met before, both sides will try it out at the beginning, including Dortmund.

Zize seems to be very fierce when he comes up. This is Dortmund's style in itself, but the most important thing is that Zize's running is within his control. In the opening stage, he will not do everything to strangle Barcelona. In the middle of the field, it is still necessary to save one hand, after all, the game has just begun.

When Barcelona mainly controlled the ball, it was easier for them to observe their opponents. In the first confrontation, both sides could not be sloppy.

In the first 10 minutes, Barcelona's possession rate was 6%, Dortmund's was [-]%, which was more than Klopp's estimate, because Dortmund's strangulation in the midfield still played a role, and Zize completed it in the [-]th minute There was a beautiful midfield interception, he cut off the return route of Iniesta, kicked the ball wide, Piszczek ran up to meet and got the ball for Dortmund.

Piszczek was a little anxious in the subsequent attack. Facing Abidal's defense, Piszczek chose a pass to try to overwhelm Abidal, but how could Abidal, who is both top-notch in physical fitness and speed Easily broken by Piszczek, who cleared the ball off the touchline with one tackle.

After more than ten minutes of testing, Barcelona took the lead.

It's Messi!
At this time, Messi is the out-and-out hot spot of Barcelona. Many wing assaulters will be dubbed "hot spots" by fans because they can directly attack the opponent's defense line through their own skills, and Messi In this Barcelona team, he is a center forward, strictly speaking, a pseudo-center forward.

Messi's position may be more "false" than the center forward Zize. The two wingers Pedro and Villa frequently advance forward, often running to a place higher than Messi, and Messi is a little later The position is just to explode.

However, Messi's hot spot is different from most other so-called hot spots. Messi is a real hot spot with absolute lethality!
Instant speed up, dribbling, not so gorgeous but absolutely practical. These are Messi's superb specialties. Messi's sudden acceleration in the middle is Barcelona's extremely lethal nuclear weapon. In 7 minutes, Messi West made the hearts of Dortmund fans rise to their throats.

After receiving an unremarkable pass from Harvey, Messi faced Shaheen who was defending him and made a pass to the side, but suddenly accelerated.

Shaheen was still standing, but Messi's change of direction exceeded his imagination!

The strongest thing about Messi is the frequency at his feet. Ordinary defensive players can't keep up with such a fast speed. When he changes direction all of a sudden, Messi sneaks past Shaheen.

Seeing this, Bender quickly retreated to defend, but he didn't expect to be redirected by Messi again. At this time, Messi passed the ball.

A through ball directly into the penalty area, Pedro!

Pedro barely stopped the ball and hit the goal directly. The ball brushed Weidenfeller's hand and slid past the back post!

This shot caused a burst of exclamation on the court. If the gourd baby Villa with more superb shooting skills is replaced in this position, Dortmund may be in danger!
Messi's pass was very penetrating. He almost found Pedro through Hummels and the retreating Shaheen. Let Pedro have much time to adjust and hit the goal directly, otherwise Barcelona will be able to break through Dortmund's goal for the first time in less than 10 minutes.

No wonder Messi is regarded as the best successor to Maradona. The handling, dribbling, and passing of the ball are impeccable. There are only a handful of people who can do this.

What's even more frightening is that apart from Messi, it seems that what can be done is also in the Barcelona team. Iniesta has assumed the equivalent of Messi's responsibilities in the Spanish team, because of Iniesta's breakthrough ability, passing the ball The ability is also extremely strong.

With these two top breakthrough players, it is difficult for Barcelona not to become the Cosmos team.

As for Dortmund, the number one star Zize has not played much yet.

It should be said that Dortmund did not have many chances to attack. So far, there has been no shot. Mascherano's defense was successful, at least he did not give Zize a chance to shoot.

goal kick.

Weidenfeller gave the central defender Hummels for stability. This time, it was replaced by Barcelona in the frontcourt. Messi was the first to run up and fight with Hummels, who was more than a head taller than him. Hummel Si leaned on Messi with his body and gave the ball to Schmelzer again.

Schmelzer was also under a lot of pressure. Villa came up. In desperation, Schmelzer could only kick hard at Villa's feet and got a throw-in.

Barcelona's pressing in the frontcourt is actually very strong.

Many people see Barcelona's possession of the ball, but they tend to ignore their other way of playing football, which is the on-the-spot counterattack after losing the ball in the frontcourt.

This is due to Barcelona's football style. In order to ensure the quality of ball control in the midfield, Barcelona's overall formation will be relatively forward. This is why Guardiola likes to use Valdez, a goalkeeper with better foot skills. Sometimes Valdes can be used as a defender.

As for the possession of the ball in the frontcourt, even Barcelona will always make mistakes. Barcelona's overall formation is empty at the back and it is easy to be counterattacked. The defensive requirements of a striker are also very high.

No matter if it is Messi, Pedro or Villa, after losing the ball, they immediately counterattack on the spot, and several players in the midfield also press up to force, making it difficult for the opponent to counterattack comfortably. Direct steals can continue to create threats.

This is a frontcourt press that Barcelona has to strengthen in its style of play, but it is very effective.

Schmelzer originally wanted to pass forward directly, but Villa's attack and Messi were oppressing in the middle. The forward pass was easy to be intercepted by Villa, and the backward pass was easily intercepted by Messi. The ball, so that the Barcelona defense has enough time to get back into position, that is, a successful defense.

"Until now, we haven't seen Dortmund's real offensive style. Apart from being active, we haven't seen anything special about their ice kid." In Spain, the Barcelona TV commentator praised Villa The top grab, and then commented.

"Dortmund's speed is something Barcelona need to worry about, but now it seems that Pep is doing very well, he uses the speed of Alves, Mascherano and Abidal to defend Reus, Zize and Abidal. For players like Kuba, the opponent’s strength can’t be brought out, and the frontcourt press is also very good. It should be said that we are in a good state today, and everything we want to see has been played out.”

After 10 minutes of pressure, the physical fitness of Dortmund's players has also entered a bottleneck period. In the frontcourt, Royce's movements are obviously a little slower than before, while Zize is still trying to interfere with the opponent.

Just now, Schmelzer threw the ball out, and Dortmund passed it a few times in the midfield, but was intercepted by the Barcelona players. Klopp found that this Barcelona team came up to press, and the ability to press was not even much worse than Dortmund!

Whether or not Barcelona's style of football determines their defensive approach, at least for Dortmund it is still very effective.

Shaheen received the ball, and as soon as he turned around, Xavi came up and had to pass back to Subotic. After a few more forward passes, the ball was finally lost on the wing. Pedro retreated to help Busquets in the midfield Hand in hand to steal Gotze.

Klopp also shook his head straight when he saw it. Dortmund's performance is not very good when they have the ball. The possession of the ball is not as smooth as that of Barcelona. several times better than you...

This ball, there is no way...

Klopp tidied up the hat on his head, put it on straight again, and looked at the field with a little more worry in his eyes.

Barcelona is too strong!
In all fairness, the two teams are basically not at the same level. After Dortmund's pressing intensity in the midfield weakened due to physical reasons, Barcelona almost completely controlled the situation.

After all, Barcelona seldom need to scramble, and most of the time they are in possession of the ball. Compared with Dortmund, they must have a physical advantage. Now Dortmund is helpless in front of them, and running around is the best proof.
