Chapter 548

He once followed Barcelona to win four La Liga titles, one Champions League title and one European Super Cup title. This is the first Spanish national derby he participated in as a head coach.

The six-game winning streak at the start of the new season does not prove how strong his coaching ability is.

Because he coaches Barcelona.

Winning is the order of the day.

Beating Real Madrid is the touchstone for every new head coach.

Abandoning the original 4-3-3, in addition to being based on the strangle in the midfield, there is another important reason.

Defensive ribs.

Koeman's gaze stayed on the back of Real Madrid No. 7, lost in thought.

He remembered that when he first coached Southampton, he had played against Rossi who was still in Bournemouth.

Although it was a warm-up match, the strength shown by Bournemouth was not like a Championship team at all.

Especially the fledgling Rossi.

The talents and abilities he showed are still fresh in his memory.

But I never thought that after only one year, the black-haired player helped Leicester City win the Premier League championship, and in the following four years, he reached the Champions League final four times and won the cup three times.

This is a movie script, and I dare not write it like this.

In the game against Real Madrid, the first thing he has to do is to limit Rossi.

Just like other teams limit Messi.

Playing side defense is the best solution he can think of at present.

Although Rossi often plays as a winger, his active area is in the ribs and the center.

Because he is not a pure speed winger at all.

Even if he is allowed to take the ball on the wing, there are very few 1v1 performances, and more is to cooperate with his teammates.

The young left-back Mendy began to press forward significantly.

Since Barcelona chose to give up the wing, Zidane decisively used this wing channel to let the defender attack.

In the 26th minute, Mendy made a pass from the left, and the ball was punched by Neto in front of the goal to defuse the danger.

Three minutes later, Real Madrid once again sought a cross from the left and was cleared by Pique with a header.

Coman crossed his hands in front of his chest, his face brightened.

If Real Madrid continues to fight like this, their chances will be even greater.

Mendy's impact is strong, but he can't afford to run back and forth repeatedly, appearing on both ends of the offense and defense.

Once his physical fitness declines, he only needs a ball behind him to completely defeat Real Madrid's defense.

In the 30th minute, Barcelona intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and Busquets took the ball to instigate a counterattack.

But Valverde's rapid pressure interfered with him.

As long as Busquets can't turn around, then Barcelona's long pass attack will be even more impossible to play.

Koeman hopes that players can use short pass penetration to push the formation forward.

However, Barcelona, ​​which is relatively weak in the midfield, has difficulty passing through the Real Madrid midfielder, and the only long pass in the backcourt is tightly restricted.

Although the score is Barcelona leading, but from the overall situation, Real Madrid is taking the initiative.

This gives the fans a feeling.

Real Madrid is not far away from scoring.

Koeman obviously also noticed that the rhythm of the game is slowly being taken into the hands of the opponent.

He immediately signaled to the players that possession of the ball must be firmly in his own hands.

Real Madrid, who have adapted to the rhythm of the game, will not take the initiative to give up the ball.

Real Madrid's frontcourt pressure group headed by Rossi is crazily approaching the Barcelona defense line.

The absence of goalkeeper Ter Schent left Barcelona with a stable point in the backcourt.

Pique and Busquets passed the ball back and forth, and the defense line was getting deeper and deeper, but they dared not pass the ball to No. [-] goalkeeper Neto.

De Jong wanted to retreat to respond, but Casemiro was firmly close to him.

In desperation, Pique could only distribute the ball to the young player Pedri on the wing.

Before Pique passed the ball, he was interfered by Rossi, and the power of the pass was slightly stronger, which made it uncomfortable for Pedri to stop the ball.

At this time, Cross immediately stepped forward to interfere, first using his experience to give the opponent a physical confrontation, and then waiting for an opportunity to break the ball.

Pedri, who fell to the ground, immediately protested, but the referee turned a blind eye.

Uncle Tony, taught the young man a good lesson.

Moreover, I don't know when it started, a bad habit began to spread on the court.

Once a player falls to the ground during the confrontation, he will naturally reach out and ask the referee for a foul, instead of immediately getting up and chasing the ball, or participating in the defense.

You must know that if the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, the defender will always have one less player.

And that person is the one sitting on the ground and complaining to the referee.

Real Madrid also took advantage of this opportunity, with Kroos in charge of organizing the ball forward.

Without any hindrance, he kicked the ball through and gave it to Benzema who retreated to the ribs to respond.

At this time, Real Madrid was counterattacking. In addition to Benzema who was holding the ball, Mendy on the left had advanced and was ready to respond at any time.

On the other end, Vinicius also raised his hand while running at high speed to signal his teammates.

At this time, Rossi was still walking behind Busquets.

Seeing that Rossi was still far away from the penalty area, Pique, who had already pulled out of the penalty area, immediately moved towards Benzema who was holding the ball, trying to slow down Real Madrid's speed of advancing with the ball.

Rossi had been waiting for this moment.

He also immediately passed Busquets at a speed like lightning, and inserted into the gap behind Pique.

And pointing in front of himself, signaled to his friend to pass the ball.

Benzema just glanced at it, understood it, and passed the ball to the gap behind Pique.

In an instant, the connection between Barcelona's midfielder and the defense seemed to be out of touch, allowing Rossi to easily insert into this space.

By the time the Barcelona players reacted and wanted to chase back, it was too late.

Rossi is already racing towards the goal.

The Camp Nou stadium fell into silence for an instant. The fans gasped and stared at Rossi's every move.

Small step adjustments,

Stand on your left foot,

Right foot exerts force,

No corner pushes, no lob shots.

It was a whistling light.

Rossi shot the ball into the top corner of the far post with a sharp rise and into the dead corner.

Faced with this kind of powerful shot from close range, the goalkeeper still has a high arc, and there is nothing he can do. He stands still and watches the ball enter the net.

A huge sigh echoed over the Camp Nou stadium in an instant.

Real Madrid finally scored and overtook the score.

For this result, the fans seem to have expected it a long time ago.

Before the goal, Real Madrid has been taking the initiative in the game, which is the situation of both sides visible to the naked eye.

And for this goal, it took less than ten seconds for Real Madrid to steal the ball from the backcourt, launch a counterattack and score the goal.

This is a typical Real Madrid counterattack, but it is a little different.

The difference is that Real Madrid's previous counterattack relied on the striker BBC combination to hit the ball to the opponent's goal with speed and fast delivery.

In this counterattack, the Real Madrid players have no obvious speed advantage, and the opponent's defense is sufficient, but they can threaten Barcelona's goal in an instant.

This kind of overall speed-up counterattack is the most terrifying.

And after returning to the defense in slow motion, it was discovered that under the acceleration of Real Madrid, the Barcelona players also "contributed".

Whether it's Pique or Busquets, they both appeared to be not tight.

In other words, the area where Rossi appears is the place where Barcelona is most likely to have problems and loopholes due to poor communication when deploying defenses.

Koeman was furious off the court, and he was already blushing, cursing at the court.

The objects of his scolding were the team's meritorious players, Pique and Busquets.

　There are too many things at home recently, and the update time is not stable, please forgive me!
