Super Training Master

This is Wan Sheng's second visit to Camp Nou.

The last time was in the 2008 UEFA Champions League. In the first round of the semi-final, Manchester City and Barcelona played. In the end, Manchester City took away the victory 2-0, which also allowed Manchester City to easily eliminate Barcelona in the second round to enter the final. .

For a long time, Barcelona held that game as a disgrace.

So when Wansheng coached Atlético de Madrid and met Barcelona, ​​the Catalan media began to shout revenge.

This is Wansheng's second visit to this stadium.

The mentality of the two arrivals is different. Compared with three years ago, Wansheng is more nervous and serious, because in 2008, Rijkaard's Barcelona was already on the decline, while Guardiola's Barcelona was at its peak.

In three years, a lot has changed.

Looking at the fans around him, Wan Sheng also sighed that time flies, but fortunately... he is not like other coaches, who only coach top teams in the seventies and eighties.

He is still young enough!

————

The Atlético Madrid players who played in the game were more or less nervous. The newcomers among them have also experienced the environment of the Bernabeu Stadium. Now the Camp Nou is really not bad at all, and it is even more unfavorable for the team.

In the match between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the Spanish Football Association will not consider any derby factors, so there are only a pitiful 8,000 Atlético de Madrid fans, and the rest are all Barcelona fans.

At the start of the game, Atlético de Madrid players could feel the pervasive hostility in the stands.

The current Barcelona fans hate Atlético de Madrid, and they keep booing from the stands to interfere with the performance of Atlético de Madrid players.

This scene is no worse than the Madrid derby!

But Atletico Madrid players still try to stabilize their mentality. Each of them remembers what the coach said in the locker room just now, Don't pay attention to those fans, they are afraid of us, so they make noise!

The louder the noise, the more fearful they are, otherwise why wouldn't they do this when they were playing against the ball? That's because the ball wouldn't threaten them at all!

After thinking about it, everyone felt that what Wan Sheng said was very reasonable.

Barcelona fans are afraid of Atletico Madrid, the team has enough strength to win the game, so they are afraid of Barcelona losing, so they use this despicable method to interfere.

So Atletico Madrid players also stabilized their mentality and seriously integrated into the game.

————

With their home advantage, Barcelona launched a stormy attack against Atletico Madrid at the beginning!

It's not an exaggeration to describe it as 'stormy'.

Almost everyone who watched the game had a similar feeling. Atlético de Madrid let Barcelona play beyond the half-time. Before the game, Atlético de Madrid coach Wan Sheng called the so-called 'play against Barcelona' and 'again. A few goals for Barcelona' is not reflected at all, but it is normal for Barcelona to score a few goals for Atletico Madrid.

For the first ten minutes, Barcelona took full control of the game.

The data in the hands of Spanish national sports TV broadcaster Fernandos Sanchez Bob illustrates the problem, Barcelona has 74% of the ball!

74 percent!

It may not sound like much, but Atletico Madrid's possession rate is a pitiful 26 percent, nearly twice as bad as Barcelona's, and such a high gap represents the situation on the field.

Barcelona dominated the game!

The Catalan media shouted excitedly, as if Barcelona had beaten Atlético Madrid by a big score.

The Barcelona fans at Camp Nou were also cheering excitedly. Before the start of the game, they had confidence in Barcelona, ​​but they were not absolutely sure that the team could win. After all, Atletico Madrid is not such an easy team to deal with. They beat Barcelona by a big score at home in the first round as evidenced by that.

But now, they are confident!

What's up with Atletico Madrid? They said they wanted to score more goals, they said they wanted to fight against each other, but what happened? They didn't even have the strength to fight against each other, and were completely suppressed by Barcelona!

This is Barcelona!

Just let those people in Madrid see how big the gap is with us!

Everyone in Barcelona was cheering and proud of being able to completely overwhelm Atletico Madrid, except... the coach Pep Guardiola.

In Pep Guardiola's view, the situation is definitely not that ideal. The key point is that so far, Barcelona has only had two shots, one from the outside and the other from the penalty area. Facing the defense of the two, Leah could only barely get up, but he took a plane and the football flew out of bounds.

The two shots did not pose a threat. Maybe it can be explained by the poor state of the frontcourt players, but the team's offense has been unable to find opportunities for a long time. How to explain it?

In addition, almost all of Atlético de Madrid are 'piled' near the penalty area. They are defending with a sea of ​​​​tactics. Messi can't run at all in the middle, and it is closer to the penalty area. The team's short pass coordination has become a problem.

These are all reminders to Guardiola that the game is not that simple.

What's going on?

Guardiola was a little confused. His first reaction was that the players were not in good shape, but this idea was quickly swept out of his mind. It was Barcelona's absolute main lineup who played in the game, and each player was taken out individually. It's all good, and there were no mistakes, so the team's state is no problem, and the poor state of a single player can't affect the whole team, even if Messi is very good, but Barcelona has never been a team that relies entirely on stars , Tactical play, subtle coordination is the key to the team.

Then Guardiola started watching.

One minute.

three minutes.

ten minutes.

Soon the game had reached 20 minutes, and the progress of Barcelona's offensive was still not much. There was nothing but a threat from Villa's volley 14 minutes ago.

Guardiola has discovered that Atletico Madrid has put a lot of effort into the defense!

Atletico Madrid is not the 442 or 4231 that they play on weekdays, but a 4321 formation or a 451 formation. Except for Aguero, who is in front, all other players are participating in the defense. The backcourt defense of 9 players also allows Atlético de Madrid. The three lines are rock solid.

Barcelona is good at attacking from the flanks. Both Iniesta and Xavi are the top players in the world. Their ability to control the ball and break through is very strong. It is difficult for the opponent to limit the defense. However, the opponent's two back midfielders Raul Garcia and Mario Suarez can move and cooperate with the full backs, which greatly strengthens the defense on the side.

It stands to reason that if the defense on the side is tight, then the middle will be weaker.

Barcelona can have Messi in the middle!

Messi's breakthrough is a major offensive means for the team!

But not in the game.

Atlético de Madrid has Maurice in the middle, and the two avant-garde Ozil and Reyes also keep retreating. With the addition of the two central defenders, Atlético de Madrid almost 'blocked' the front of the penalty area. Messi doesn't even have space to break through. , trying to cooperate with teammates is also quite dangerous.

Atlético de Madrid relied on orderly and intensive defense, blocking the left, right and middle three lanes.

This is also the reason why Barcelona's attack is unfavorable.

But……

Didn't the young Chinese say that he was going to fight against Barcelona? What kind of offense is this defense talking about?

Guardiola got it.

It's not just him, everyone in Barcelona, ​​including the Catalan media and fans, has been tricked by that Chinese!

Where is Atletico Madrid going to play against each other!

They are totally trying to defend the goal!

When it comes to tactical play, 'defensive counterattack' is more suitable, but from the perspective of the first 20 minutes of the game, 'counterattack' can be eliminated. Atletico Madrid will only play a small wave when the defense is absolutely safe. counterattack.

They don't seem to care if they score or not!

————

Guardiola saw that Atletico Madrid did not plan to fight against Barcelona at all, and some professional football commentators also saw it. Commentators who supported Barcelona began to criticize Atletico Madrid’s conservativeness.

But there are still some media that didn't see it, and of course, including the vast majority of Barcelona fans, who were happy to see Atletico Madrid 'suppressed' at half-time, unable to fight back at all.

They are all looking forward to Barcelona's goal!

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid fans are a little worried. There are 8,000 Madrid fans who came to Camp Nou to support the team. They watched the game without saying a word, and they would also discuss with each other about the team's crisis.

Many fans were puzzled.

Atletico Madrid's performance this season has made all fans very satisfied. They all feel that the team is not much worse than Barcelona, ​​so at Camp Nou, they play head-to-head with Barcelona... How can you not be passive to this extent?

After 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid had only a handful of attacks, not even a single threat!

They have been worried about the team, but as time passed, some fans also discovered that Atletico Madrid did not actually play against Barcelona, ​​and the team's tactics seemed to be serious defense.

Defensive counter attack?

Many fans thought of this word, and they couldn't believe it.

They have always felt in their hearts that Atletico Madrid is the top attacking team in Spain. Instead of using offense to win, they focus on defense. Can they have a chance to win against Barcelona?

The commentator Fernandos Sanchez Bob was also surprised: It seems that Atletico Madrid has no intention of playing against Barcelona, ​​they have been defending, we can see that Aguero has retreated frequently!

Perhaps, this also shows the strength of Barcelona, ​​but Atletico Madrid must have changed their tactics, otherwise the game would not have been like this anyway... (To be continued ~^~)
