Chapter 566: Your understanding of ball rights is perfect, and my space utilization is even better!
The whistle blows for the Champions League final at the new Wembley Stadium.
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United played steadily.
The formation retreated into the backcourt to shrink, which greatly compressed Barcelona's offensive space.
When Guardiola saw this on the sidelines, a hint of irritation flashed on his expression.
Does the tyrant in white want to do it again without changing his position?
A repeat of the Champions League final two years ago?
Can he do it?
Why can't it be done?
To this day, the World Cup final a year ago has great stamina. Those who dislike Shen Hao will still scold the Dutch team for their inability to win, and deeply hate the utilitarian tactics of extreme defense.
Barcelona must be mentally prepared.
Obviously there were no soldiers pressing down on the situation, but patiently organizing the delivery.
But if you want to tear apart Leeds United's defense through passing the ball, it will definitely be too much.
And because they were afraid of Leeds United's defensive counterattack, the formation pressure was not large, and the number of troops invested in the offense was obviously not large.
In this way, it is still necessary to rely on individual blasts to forcefully tear apart Leeds United's defense line locally.
This is a task that Pedro can't do, and it must be Messi's specialty.
And Messi didn't take Baines seriously at all. The only thing he was afraid of was Kanter.
Alves did not assist from the right.
When Messi started dribbling and cutting in from the right to explode, Baines took the initiative to help defend the midfielder line.
Kanter was originally very close, but took the initiative to retreat.
Only his teammates at Leeds United know exactly what Kante has been doing in his spare time this past season.
He is studying the highlights of Messi's extraordinary breakthroughs over and over again.
Enjoyable to watch and thought-provoking.
By chance, I actually met Messi in the Champions League final today.
When Kanter retreated, Baynes took the initiative to press, and Messi changed direction to break through from the outside, but Kanter still did not move.
Messi continues to rush into the penalty area.
Hummels intercepted the ball head-on, and Messi quickly diverted the ball and made a cross-cut to dodge as if he was not affected by gravity. The next step was to quickly spike the ball forward.
But at the moment when he changed direction for the second time, Kante moved, turned around and intercepted the football that Messi was dribbling forward!
That's the crucial step.
Messi slowed down, turned around and retreated.
In the eyes of the audience, Messi was one step away from breaking through Leeds United's defense.
This is true.
Kanter, however, was waiting for Messi to steal the ball the moment he changed direction for the second time.
There is only one chance.
If you play first, you will definitely lose. If you play second, you must have teammates to assist you.
Leeds United launched a fast break.
When Gareth Bale forced a dribble past Abidal on the right, Mascherano helped defend Abidal and took the lead to control the ball.
It seems that Barcelona's research on Leeds United is also in place.
When Gareth Bale overtook at high speed, Mascherano also moved.
When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.
Barcelona restrained team pressure and showed individual ability to explode.
When Messi dribbled in again but encountered Modric and Baines flanking him, he didn't have much room to go outside, so he forced the dribbling in.
After the ball shot forward, the fried ball changed direction and forced its way between the two of them.
Kanter stepped forward to block, but did not intercept.
Messi continuously controlled the ball and passed by Kanter's side.
Beat you!
When Messi thought he had eaten Kante.
Unexpectedly, right behind Kanter, Hummels tackled him and destroyed the ball first.
Messi suddenly understood when he saw Kanter's calm look.
Leeds cannot rely solely on individual players in their restrictions against him.
There must be careful arrangements and careful drills in preparation for war.
Leeds United's fast break advance upfield is still very restrained.
After Modric passed the ball to Kaka's feet, Kaka dribbled and changed direction to pass Xavi, but Busquets blocked the way in front, and Mascherano was watching eagerly behind him.
There is interception behind the barrier.
It would be unwise to force the situation any further.
Kaka decisively passed the ball diagonally to the left area in front of the penalty area.
Suarez took the initiative and took the initiative to take the ball to the wing and then knocked the ball to the left rib area of the penalty area.
Deisler's cut inside was about to create an excellent shooting opportunity, and Alves returned to defend in place, forcing Deisler to change direction and adjust one step while controlling the ball.
It was this step that allowed Pique to defend in place and complete the interception.
Barcelona fans were angry and dismissive.
"Leeds United are shameless, they still want to fight extreme counterattacks today!"
"What a bullshit tyrant in white. He can do nothing but defend against rebellion!"
"As long as we're not so aggressive, we won't give them any chance at all."
Shen Hao remained calm, watching Barcelona maintain a balance of offense and defense, wondering in his heart whether Guardiola was really bitten by a snake once and was afraid of ropes for ten years.
When both teams competed for more than 10 minutes under restraint, they failed to make a shot.
Guardiola instead fell into anxiety on the sidelines.
It looks like Barcelona's defense is solid.
However, he felt that this strange balance made him very awkward and uneasy.
The awkward thing is that Barcelona did not exert its full strength in attack.
The disturbing thing is... Leeds United are not playing extreme counter-attacks.
This is a completely different picture from the final two years ago when Leeds United continued to prepare for the fatal blow.
It's more like you punch me and I kick you, back and forth.
Neither team tried their best.
Just as Guardiola was trying to figure out Shen Hao's tactical intentions, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
As the game approached 20 minutes, Leeds United suddenly began to organize the offense through patient passing.
And the formation presses forward while passing the ball continuously.
Barcelona's natural formation also retreats and shrinks.
The audience was suddenly surprised.
It's like the two teams have changed their jerseys.
Barcelona is more like the passive defensive Leeds United, while Leeds United is the passing and controlling Barcelona.
Barcelona retreated to a certain extent and then suddenly launched a counterattack.
Leeds United quickly launched a fast break.
Gareth Bale received the ball from the right side of the frontcourt and then dribbled across the ball and passed the ball short to Modric who came in behind. The latter sent a diagonal overhead pass behind Pique.
Deisler cut inside and was about to take off when Valdez took the lead and punched the ball away.
Watching the football fly to the right side of the backcourt.
When Iniesta rushed to control the ball, Kanter rushed to the wing first and took the ball away. Then he directly passed the ball diagonally to the left of the top of the penalty area.
Suarez took the initiative and was flanked by Busquets and Pique. He passed the ball directly back without stopping.
After receiving the ball from behind, Kaka pulled the ball on the spot and changed direction to dodge Xavi's pressing. He adjusted one step towards the middle and then made a cross.
The football drew an inner arc in the air and flew to the right rib area of the penalty area!
