Greenery on the back

Chapter 546
The ball returned to Barcelona's feet. No. 6 Moriba, No. 20 Pujic and No. 8 Collardo firmly grasped the midfield with their excellent ball-handling skills.They relied on passing and running positions to constantly tear up Inter Milan's defense.

Fortunately, Inter Milan's defense is very stable, and they never let their opponents break through.Especially Yue Feng's left side still restricted Barcelona's number one star Fati to death.

However, it is not an option to always be passively beaten. Simeone has long experienced this. With a wave of his hand, he resorted to the same oppressive tactics as Barcelona.

In the Inter Milan team, the two forwards Haaland and Mukoko are super runners, and the midfielders also have good physical fitness. They followed the instructions of the coach and began to press Barcelona at a high position without any hesitation. .

As a result, the Barcelona players were gradually tired of coping, and the two wingers Fati and Dembele in the frontcourt had to retreat to support their midfielders.

As soon as these two ball-handling masters came back, Barcelona's pass control level immediately went up to a higher level.To deal with oppression, we must rely on this better pass control.

Oppression overcomes transmission and control, and transmission and control also overcomes oppression. In the end, whoever can defeat who depends on which side has the better technology.

Harvey quietly observed the situation on the sidelines, without a trace of sadness on his face, and he was confident that he would continue to spend so much time with the opponent.

Pressing takes a lot of energy. As long as they can firmly control the ball, when Inter Milan's physical fitness declines in the second half, it will be difficult for them to press again.

And after launching a counterattack by yourself, you can easily take down your opponent.

Harvey made up his mind and continued to call on the players to maintain a triangle position, strengthen running without the ball, and ensure that the ball is always under his feet.

After pressing for a period of time to no avail, Simeone gradually frowned.

At present, the rhythm of the game is completely in the hands of Barcelona. This situation is extremely bad.

The pace of the game can be fast or slow, sweet or salty, but each team has its own rhythm.

In this rhythm, the players can play with the most comfortable feeling, and they can also achieve the best competitive state and play the best level.

And once the opponent has mastered the rhythm of the game and let the opponent play their most comfortable offense and defense, it will be a matter of time before they are scored.

Bandit coach Simeone understands the importance of rhythm very well, and he quickly found a countermeasure, which is to make a tactical foul.

Interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm with tactical fouls!

So, he redeployed on three lines:
In the 442 formation, Harland and Mukoko, who are at the top, continue to strengthen the press and harassment, limiting the opponent's backcourt.

The four defenders including Yue Feng strengthened the defense in front of the goal to ensure that the goal was not lost.

The captain of the four midfielders, the left midfielder Barrera, the midfielder Sami and others made appropriate tactical fouls and tried to cut off Barcelona's passing rhythm.

The key point of tactical fouls is to be able to foul while trying not to take cards, relying on the players' grasp of defensive actions.

If you get a red and yellow card from the referee for a foul, you don't need to use this tactic.

In the midfield of Inter Milan, Barre LS Mi and others are fierce players who fight fiercely and defend cleanly, especially suitable for this tactic.

Sure enough, under the command of Simeone, Inter Milan relied on frequent fouls to make the opponent's pass and control smashed, and Barcelona's players had to redeploy again and again.

For a while, anxiety spread among Pujic, Moriba and others.

Seeing this, Harvey took the opportunity of a dead ball to call No. 6 midfielder Moriba to the sidelines and whispered something.

Yue Feng saw this scene from a distance, and felt a hint of danger in his heart.

Seeing Barcelona coach Xavi's big eyes rolling around, he knew that the other party must be planning some kind of conspiracy.

The game continued, and Moriba took the ball straight to Inter Milan's backcourt.

The midfielder Sami was the first to block it, but as soon as he stretched his legs to grab the ball from Moriba, the Barcelona No. 6 suddenly yelled, turned over and fell to the ground.

Sami quickly raised his hands and stepped back, signaling to the referee that he had not fouled.

But Moriba kept rolling on the ground with his knees in his arms, and his shouts were even more piercing, as if his bones were broken.

When the referee saw someone fell to the ground, he rushed over immediately.

He did see physical contact between the two just now, but he couldn't be sure whether Sammy kicked Moriba.

However, seeing that Moriba's dark forehead seemed to be sweating from the pain, the referee finally gave Sammy a yellow card.

Sammy's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of bewilderment.

He just fought fiercely just now, but he didn't kick people on purpose, why did he give himself a yellow card?
"I swear I didn't kick him, it shouldn't be a yellow card!" Sami complained fiercely, but his attitude was calm.

Yue Feng also immediately understood Harvey's intention to call Moriba to the sidelines. He ran two steps over and protested to the referee: "He didn't foul, the opponent flopped!".

Although such complaints and protests often do not change the penalty, Yue Feng knows that his main purpose is to put pressure on the referee to pay attention to the next penalty.

It's like you are being bullied by others, even if you can't beat the other party, you have to scold the other party twice, so that the other party has to think about it next time they bully you.

Sure enough, the referee's momentum dropped a lot. He kept stretching out his hand to signal the Inter Milan players to back off, so that Barcelona could take a free kick.

Barcelona's free kick was far from the goal, and Simeone was not worried, but the performance of the Barcelona players on the field made him feel a bit stunned.

Inter Milan's fierce press and tactical fouls that interrupt the opponent's rhythm are most afraid of this kind of performance.

The Barcelona players produced by La Masia are the best at this.

Dipping to send opponents out of the field is as insidious as it is effective.Simeone couldn't help but think of the scene where he used this trick to frame Beckham in the World Cup in France 33 years ago.

At that time, Argentina and England were fighting for the quarter-finals. Simeone, the captain of Argentina, knocked down the England ace Beckham in defense.

But then, Beckham stretched out his foot and hooked Simeone in retaliation.

Although this was a retaliatory action, Beckham did not use too much strength, but Simeone took the opportunity to exaggerate and fell to the ground, which directly caused the opponent to be sent off the field with a red card.

Simeone is well aware of the power of this kind of acting, so he had to ask his disciples to be more careful on the court and try not to give their opponents a chance to act.

After all, if one or two were really sent off, then facing the mighty Barcelona, ​​he would lose.

However, in this way, the efficiency of Inter Milan's pressing was greatly reduced. Barcelona seized this gap and frantically launched an attack towards Inter Milan's sidewalk.
