89 Leo is angry, the consequences are serious

For more than half a year, he has been commenting on Granada games for a long time. Mr. Mendoza, who was originally a Barcelona fan, has now become a well-known Leo fan in Spain. He also claims to be a loyal Leo fan on his personal public social platform. He will post some photos with Leo after the game, and get fans to leave comments and likes for him.

When he saw Leo's long-distance free kick directly hitting the goal, he held the microphone and shouted with emotion: "Beautiful is facing Barcelona again, and Leo's performance is as wonderful as his debut. For the next 80-plus minutes, the fans have every reason to believe he can do better."

Stoichkov on the side couldn't listen anymore: "The game has only started for 5 minutes. It's too early for you to say this. There are Messi, Neymar and Suarez on the field. It takes a turn to perform. Not a little boy."

"No, no, no, Leo has unlimited potential. No one knows what kind of incredible football he will play in the next second."

"Well, let's see," Stoichkov shrugged.

Of course, Leo himself didn't expect the goal to be scored. He just wanted to give the Cosmos team a disarm.Although Granada is not a strong team, they cannot be bullied at home.

But the fact is that Leo knows better than anyone else that the Barcelona in front of him and the Barcelona they played against at Camp Nou more than half a year ago can be regarded as two teams.At the beginning, Barcelona suffered serious injuries and fought on multiple fronts. More than half of the starting lineup had substitutes and young teenagers.Even such a lineup like the Barcelona second team made Granada struggle in 90 minutes, almost relying on spirit and will to not concede a big score, and finally waited for him to play the savior in danger .

This will definitely not be an easy game. The result is unknown, but the process is predictable. It will be an extremely difficult and difficult game.

It's just a near-miss shot, which can only make Barcelona break out in a cold sweat, without any real threat.

The fact is indeed as Leo envisioned, since that shot, Barcelona has completely grasped the initiative of the game on the court.Their skilled personal skills at their feet, the accuracy of passing the ball, the penetration and tearing apart of the formation when transferring the ball, the movement of stopping the ball when passing and receiving the ball, and the next step of handling the ball all make Granada in front of them. A middle school team.

For the next 20 minutes, Granada's players barely touched the ball, either chasing the opposing player or chasing it.Barcelona is like playing with a child. Through the impeccable pass and control cooperation of ten people on the field except the goalkeeper, they interweave into an invisible big net, which not only overwhelms their own formation across the center line but also completely overwhelms Granada's formation. Compressed to the vicinity of the restricted area.

Barcelona's unique tikitaka tactical system is actually just an onomatopoeia. As many Barcelona fans say, this tactical system can also be called the ultimate offensive and defensive system. The tikitaka tactic is believed to have originated when Cruyff coached Barcelona from 1988 to 1996, and was then carried forward by Dutch coaches Louis van Gaal and Frank Rijkaard, and used by other La Liga teams.During Guardiola's coaching of Barcelona from 2008 to 2012, the so-called dream three era tikitaka's tactical system was developed to the extreme and achieved unprecedented success, leading Barcelona to become a six-time champion.

The tikitaka tactical system mainly includes two major contents: high position pressing and pass control organization.High-position pressing is a tactical principle in the Dutch master Michels' total defense concept, that is, to press the height of the team formation to the opponent's half and then collectively counter-attack at a high position on the spot after losing the ball, relying on the running of the players Use consciousness and physical strength to cut the opponent's passing line, complete the counter-grab for the ball, and use grab instead of defense to realize the monopoly of the ball and offensive opportunities.Later, under the coaching of Cruyff, Van Gaal and Rijkaard, three generations of Dutch coaches, Barcelona implemented all the ideas of the Dutch football total defense concept.

However, in today's game, Barcelona only needs to press high and there is no need to counterattack on the spot, because Granada basically cannot touch the ball. Even if it is a clearance inside the penalty area, it will be grabbed by Barcelona players outside the penalty area. Drop point.

Leo also withdrew and fully devoted himself to the defense, staring at Messi.The situation on the court became like this from the very beginning, they were suppressed to death, the whole team fell into the predicament of not getting the ball, became anxious and made mistakes again and again.Leo, the offensive core of the whole team, is not considered to have abundant physical strength and wasted needlessly in defensive running.

However, tikitaka's passing and control organization did not originate from Dutch football, but from the Matador's passing and controlling style in Spain. The Spanish football style has always emphasized the fineness of the players' passing and control skills. Many teams like to rely on delicate The basic skills of passing and controlling the feet of the feet to seduce the opponent's players to rush passively, just like a matador teasing an angry bull with a piece of red cloth, constantly showing off his skills to make the opponent exhausted like a bull, and finally When the opponent's physical strength was declining, he suddenly blocked his throat with a sword and killed the opponent. This is the traditional style of Spanish football, which is delicate, gorgeous and solid.

This is the embryonic form of this traditional Spanish football style that can be found in the early Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Super Deportivo at the beginning of the century, and Villarreal in 2006, the two La Liga teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.This is a bit like the lap training in normal training, but at this moment on the field, aren't the Barcelona players just playing a lap game with Granada?

In the 8th minute of the game, Messi's long-range shot from the top of the penalty area was pushed out of the bottom line by the goalkeeper.

In the 11th minute of the game, Messi took a corner kick forward and Pique headed the goal. The header was too straight and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the 15th minute of the game, Neymar went solo after getting the ball from the left, cut into the penalty area and kicked the goal, which was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the 18th minute of the game, Messi's heel passed to Iniesta, who kicked a long shot and the ball went wide of the goal.

In the 21st minute of the game, Suarez received a pass from Rakitic and shot in the air, but the goalkeeper saved the ball from the bottom line.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Barcelona got a corner kick. Rakitic drove the ball into the penalty area. Pique rushed to the top. Seeing that the ball was about to cross the goal line, Andrew flew to block the ball.

"Wow~~ The goalkeeper's save is so beautiful." This is the commentary from Mendoza.

"It was actually blocked by the goalkeeper" This is a comment from Stoichkov.

Judging from the slow-motion playback, Andrew did save the ball from the inside of the goal. It is difficult to judge whether the ball has crossed the goal line. The referee finally did not count Barcelona's goal. The Granada coach Paco immediately He showed a relieved expression, which happened to be captured by the broadcast camera.Stoichkov immediately joked: "Pakohemes has become a coach, but it has not changed from his player days, and he is focused on defense."

After 25 minutes of the game, Granada almost never allowed Qiu to enter the opponent's penalty area except for Leo's shot at the opening. The best performance was goalkeeper Andrew.In contrast to Barcelona, ​​with 6 shots, 4 corner kicks, and more than 70.00% of the ball possession time, the scene was played very beautifully, and the beautiful football was vividly reflected. The only thing missing was the goal.

Because Barcelona had the upper hand in the situation on the field, Mendoza was no longer monotonously repeating the situation of the manufacturer in the studio, and Stoichkov began to speak more: "The initiative is completely in the hands of Barcelona. Hands, as long as they keep going, it's only a matter of time before they score."

"Leo is a player who can always create miracles in difficult times. At least the score between the two sides is still 0-0. The last time the situation was worse, and Granada won in the end." In fact, Mendoza is also struggling. In essence, he is still a Barcelona fan in his heart, hoping that Barcelona can win the final championship.But he has explained the Granada game for most of the season, and he likes Leo very much. In fact, it is not easy for him to decide who he wants to win today, and Stoichkov always On the sidelines, he was full of confidence in Barcelona, ​​thinking that Leo was just a little boy without fear, which made him very uncomfortable.

The TV station finally invited a famous football star to be a guest commentator, and it seemed that it was not good for the commentator to always confront the guests, so Mendoza changed the subject: "The biggest highlight of today's game is the championship between Barcelona and Real Madrid. , and the Golden Boot battle between Suarez and Ronaldo. The Uruguayan striker has shown crazy efficiency in the last 4 rounds, scoring 14 goals with 11 shots, and the gap between the two is that Suarez is behind Ronaldo With 2 goals, there is still a chance to overtake Ronaldo in this game."

"Suarez is a natural killer. While spoiling Messi, we should also give him more care. In this season, his performance in the league can not only compete with Ronaldo for the golden boot, but also match Messi with 16 assists. Tied for first place."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man he praised as a "natural shooter" scored a goal on the field.

In the 30th minute of the game, Neymar took the ball on the left side and passed two Granada defenders in a row, penetrating the entire right side. Alba hit the bottom at high speed, Neymar split the ball, and the unguarded Alba After taking the ball, it was passed low and flat to the goal, and Suarez easily retreated the ball into the empty goal.

"goooooooooal Suarez scored Neymar's wonderful pass, and the exquisite cooperation between Alba and Suarez, Granada's defense appeared to be missed, giving Suarez an easy kick. Barcelona 1 It's 0-[-] and at the same time Suarez is one goal behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the top scorer."

Stoichkov went on to analyze: "Neymar's pass is the key. Neither Alba nor Suarez is defended. Neymar himself attracted 3 opposing defenders, and May at another point in the penalty area West has attracted 2 more Granada defenders, one of them is the little boy you admired."

"Oh, well, his defense seems to have not learned the correct posture of defense. But it is not heavy, he is an offensive player, like a sharp knife that is sharp enough, tearing the opponent's defense is his The duty lies."

The passive situation in front of him was already expected by Leo, and he didn't appear restless because he couldn't get the ball or didn't have a good chance to attack.As always, calm and calm.Not only is his body running on the field non-stop, but his brain is also running at high speed.

The game only lasted 30 minutes, and he had to figure out a way to deal with it. It was impossible for him to be suppressed by Barcelona until the end.Granada must get out of the woods and give the opponent the deadliest counterattack.

However, what are the opponent's flaws? Is tikitaka's tactics really perfect and impeccable? To achieve longevity.

Leo's eyes looked at a certain box on the stand intentionally or unintentionally, and it took almost no time to find another person's eyes.His half-closed eyes were full of provocation and questioning because of his smile, and then he opened his mouth. In the hustle and bustle of more than 1 people, Leo seemed to hear a voice in his ear saying: "Are you admitting defeat?" It is your true strength, why did you return to Real Madrid?"

He turned his head blankly, it really seemed like something that person could say.The game continued on the field. After Busquets intercepted the ball near the center line, he passed it to Messi. The latter was brought down by Kersin from behind while advancing with the ball.This was an ordinary tactical foul. Kersin was about to walk over and reach out to pull Messi up on the ground. At this moment, Pique, who was not far away, came over and pushed him hard, cursing and swearing. ugly.

Kersin was also a little angry, and immediately pushed Pique back. Pique was about to fight back, but someone pinched his wrist unexpectedly.He struggled twice, trying to pull out his wrist, but the slender-looking hand remained motionless.Pique looked up, and Leo was staring at him with a knife-like gaze.To be honest, the look in the eyes does not show how angry or irritable, but there is a kind of stern aura that makes people feel chills down the spine.

At this time, players from both sides gathered around, and everyone pushed and shoved you and me, cursing and cursing dirty.The referee also rushed over and tried to separate the two.Leo let go of his hand, and the sharpness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by the usual indifference. The referee did not take out the card, but verbally warned the players of both sides, and gave Massa a free kick in the front court. Ou turned around and walked away silently.

As the field captain, Franrick immediately chased after him, stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, and whispered a few words of comfort.

Just 2 minutes after the coal ball king kicked the free kick, the situation on the court changed suddenly due to a small accident.
