Chapter 19 Slow down and speed up

Lazio’s home game against Barcelona was in the spotlight.
Barcelona have the ball, but they are not in a hurry to push the football forward, but go back layer by layer.
All the way to the goalkeeper’s foot
After reaching the goalkeeper’s foot, the goalkeeper doesn’t have a big foot to kick the football into the frontcourt.
But to move on.
So it’s all short.
Football is firmly controlled by Barcelona.
They are in no hurry to attack.
Still kicking the ball back and forth in the middle and back court.
"It seems that Barcelona doesn’t want to attack …"
"This is not the same as going to Barcelona …"
Commentators are surprised.
Usually Barcelona will return the ball after the game, but when the football reaches the position of goalkeeper or central defender, they will organize an attack
I won’t pass it back and forth in the middle and back court like this, but I just won’t go forward.
This is a bit like Lazio.
Winning Lazio sometimes does this, but it just doesn’t brush the possession rate forward.
If cruyff had seen Barcelona play like this ten years ago, he would have written an article and denounced Guardiola in the newspaper, just as he once did.
But now Guardiola is no longer worried about such problems.
Of course, this is not because cruyff has died.
But because cruyff and Barcelona have completely fallen out and made a clean break with Barcelona.
This is a superficial reason.
But there is actually a reason why cruyff is unwilling to admit it.
That is, no one in Barcelona is willing to listen to his old man’s orders now.
It will never happen again if a club changes its head coach like the former one and asks the "Tai Huang" cruyff for instructions.
Cruyff is getting older and his brain is not clear. He always says something that makes people confused.
His style is really out of date.
If he had any spiritual symbolism before in Barcelona, then as he became more and more serious about himself and intervened in all kinds of things in the club, everyone felt that he was an old man who was very annoying.
Even if he continues to talk in the newspaper, no one will pay attention to him, and Barcelona club no longer needs his advice.
Feeling left out in the cold, cruyff scolded Barcelona’s top management in the newspaper and completely broke up with Barcelona Club.
After that, cruyff stopped commenting on Barcelona.
As soon as he arrives, people may miss him soon and beg him to go back.
But this time he made a mistake and no one looked for him, as if there had never been such a person in the world.
Cruyff, who can’t pull his face, naturally broke with Barcelona …
……
Barcelona kept falling down after the game because of their tactics in this game.
Guardiola is well aware of Lazio’s strength. He never believed that Lazio would fall apart this season, and he didn’t listen to any nonsense.
He know that belief and determination of winning the championship in the end.
Lazio are the strongest in the semi-finals, because they are only one step away from the final, and they can never accept the result of losing in the semi-finals
At the same time, this is Lazio’s home schedule, which forces Lazio to win at home and win by a big score, otherwise the situation will be unfavorable to them in the second leg.
Guardiola can guess what tactics Changsheng will arrange in this game.
It must be an attack and a fast-paced attack.
I certainly can’t let Barcelona fall into Lazio rhythm.
Lazio wants to be fast, then we have to be slow.
Slow down, keep the football firmly under your feet, try not to let Lazio control the ball and reduce their attack times.
In this way, Lazio’s quick attack will not be played.
Moreover, if the attack is not smooth, it will seriously affect the mood of Lazio players and thus affect their state.
This is Guardiola’s game
Slow control is fast.
……
Sure enough, the slow-paced football in Barcelona brought Lazio a lot of trouble in the first 30 minutes.
On whether Barcelona is inferior to Lazio in ball control.
Lazio players have no good idea when football comes and goes at their feet.
Winning twist a head looked at Guardiola.
Know that this is Guardiola’s way of dealing with himself.
I have to say that this method is quite effective.
If Lazio doesn’t adjust, it will surely die if it keeps pace with Barcelona.
Changsheng believes that Barcelona has this ability.
Before the game, I really arranged for the players to attack quickly as soon as they came, creating opportunities to completely defeat Barcelona.
I didn’t expect Barcelona to get the ball and Lazio tactics never got a chance to play.
If Lazio continue to play as planned, they will be in a hurry.
If it’s impatience in attack, it’s all right. The most worrying thing is impatience in attack, and then rushing to the back line. Of course, let Barcelona seize the opportunity to fight back
I’m afraid that’s Guardiola’s real purpose.
Must be adjusted immediately
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he always beat the Lazio player Faraoni who was closest to him.
Let him help him pass the information to other players on the field.
Tell them that if Barcelona continues to control the ball like this, don’t worry. They will slow down and we will slow down.
We don’t pursue the number of attacks but the quality of attacks.
Although Changsheng hopes that the team can beat Barcelona by a big score at home, it will seal the victory and end the suspense in one round.
