Chapter 708 Don't worry, there's more!

For some time, Barcelona has been deeply involved in the controversy over the Catalonian independence storm.

The cause of the incident came from Barcelona striker Henry in an interview with the Pioneer that Catalonia is not Spain, they are completely different, and Barcelona also has its own distinct history.

As a result, these remarks caused a stir throughout Spain.

Everyone knows that independence in Catalonia is not a matter of one or two days, but this is the reverse scale from Spain from the government to the civilians. Henry's words undoubtedly revealed this layer of reverse scale.

As a result, Henry, an outsider, was criticized unprecedentedly, and Barcelona was pushed to the forefront of national independence, especially the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Even though it has been a while since the incident, in the stands at Camp Nou, two groups of fans with different positions can still be clearly seen playing tricks in the stands.

This made Gao Han, who walked into the Camp Nou from the player channel, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Just playing football, why do you need to be political?"

It is obvious that Gao Han’s private attitude is that Henry’s remarks are very inappropriate.

As a person who has lived in Barcelona and Madrid for many years, Gao Han is very aware of the political atmosphere in Spain. This kind of debate has been around for a long time, but as an outsider, is it necessary to get involved in such a storm?

Sergio Garcia, who was following him, sneered after hearing this, "He has been in Barcelona for a very awkward situation over the years. He is so old, but he has not achieved any results. He joined the aura of a superstar, but was suppressed by Etoo, Messi and others. Now even the status of Xavi and Iniesta is above him."

"His approach is just like Cruyff's actions back then. To integrate into the Catalonia region and gain the recognition of local fans is an opportunistic behavior, and it is natural to be criticized."

After saying that, Sergio Garcia turned around and walked towards the visiting team coach's seat, leaving Gao Han with a disdainful back.

Gao Han and Tuchel were both staring at the technical maniac, but they didn't expect his butt to be so firmly tilted to one side. But no wonder he is a native of Madrid, and it is normal for him to be tilted to one side.

"You said, do you want to tie him up with a rope?" Gao Han asked seriously.

"Why?" Tuchel was strange.

"I'm worried that he will be unable to control himself and rush out to demonstrate later." Gao Han smiled.

Tuchel also laughed. Where is Sergio Garcia like this?

Even if he is, he probably doesn't have the courage. After all, this is Camp Nou. Isn't he afraid that Camp Nou's fans will not let him get out?

Seeing Guardiola coming in front of the home team coach's seat, Tuchel said something to Gao Han, turned around and left.

"Ha, congratulations, my friend, Christina also asked me to convey her blessings."

"Thanks."

The two hugged each other cordially at the exit of the player's passage. The Guardiola's congratulations were mainly for Gao Han's newly born child. Since Guardiola played for Atletico Madrid, their family has a good relationship with Gao Han's family.

"I really didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Gao Han looked at Guardiola with a smile and joked: "This may not be a good thing for you."

"How do you know?" Guardiola asked with a smile.

Both of them laughed. With their friendship, let alone the semi-finals, even if they really reached the Champions League final, they would still be able to chat and laugh, and would not take a game seriously at all.

"How are you doing? How are you doing recently?" Gao Han asked.

"very good."

"It's not necessarily?" Gao Han was a little suspicious. "You didn't perform well when playing Getafe and Valencia away."

Both matches are related to the league championship, and Barcelona will definitely do their best, but the results are not very ideal.

"That's because we deliberately kept our strength and prepared to fight you." Guardiola smiled.

"Is that true?" Gao Han smiled, "It seems that you don't plan to let me go out in this game."

"Of course." Guardiola raised his brow, looking fierce, but soon approached again and whispered, "I have prepared a few bottles of good wine and must let you lie down."

Gao Han understood his intentions and wanted to celebrate him.

However, drinking is indeed not what he is good at.

Seeing Gao Han's bitter expression, Guardiola was very proud of having a little advantage.

"As the saying goes, the bar is proud, and the stadium is disappointed. I have prepared a gift for you."

"Is that?" Guardiola was a little surprised.

Gao Han smiled maliciously, "You will know when the game starts."

In the past two seasons, many teams have only one strategy to play against Barcelona, ​​and they can't stand it and try to counterattack on time.

There is no way to do this. When playing pass control, they are not the opponent of Barcelona at all. They can easily lose their position by grabbing, so they can only choose the safest way and defend.

But in the European Super Cup before this season, Gao Han's strategy gave all teams a vivid moment.

Bayern Munich did not defend himself or retreat. Gao Han did not act like a turtle. He chose to fight Barcelona head-on and fight against him. Through effective pressure from the midfield, Barcelona could not form effective ball control at the front of the 30-meter area.

If there is no way to control the ball in this area, Barcelona's threat will be reduced a lot.

So far that game has been learned and learned from countless European coaches, especially Gao Han's containment of Barcelona's midfielder, which has caused Barcelona to suffer a lot this season.

After a season of test, Guardiola is better than anyone else in the problem facing the team, and there are two main problems.

First of all, it is the old problem that the three lines are too far away. The distance between the center and the central defender is too long, and the three lines are easily disconnected. This is most obvious when fighting Bayern Munich.

The trident of the Bundesliga giants made Barcelona's defense never dare to push up, while the midfield was suppressed by the opponent, and the forward was too far ahead, which always left gaps for the opponent between the three lines.

He thought about solving this problem, but he encountered a lot of new troubles. For example, as the season deepened, the team fought on multiple lines, and the players' physical energy was consumed too much, resulting in a decrease in running coverage and on-field enthusiasm, which made the problem not effectively improved.

This also leads to the second problem, the players have too much psychological pressure.

Overemphasizing pass control is like a double-edged sword. The good side is that you can control the initiative of the game in your own hands, but the bad side is that when the game loses fluency and the team loses control of the ball, players are easily nervous, and nervousness is easily panic, and panic will lead to poor control of the ball.

Professional teams are very smart and can easily learn how to kill Barcelona's pass control. They even use foul tactics. Barcelona is also smart. Players should foul on the court and pretend to be injured. This has led to a lot of opinions on Barcelona's attitude.

Little do they know that pretending to be injured and fouls roaming the referee's standard line of law enforcement are both tactics.

In addition to these two major flaws, if you insist on talking about it, then one of the major hidden dangers in Barcelona is the defense line.

Valdes made many mistakes, and the defense line has repeatedly made low-level mistakes. Guardiola has also adjusted the team's defense line many times, but based on the existing team lineup, he must make a choice and balance between passing and controlling and solid defense.

In this game, what Guardiola is most worried about is Bayern Munich's offensive strategy.

But what he didn't expect was that Gao Han showed his bayonet at the beginning.

Less than a minute into the game, Robben got the ball on the right, and used his outstanding personal ability to take the ball and swipe Abidal into the cut, giving a exquisite straight pass. Aguero caught up with him in a sensible way, easily knocking away the defensive player, and then got the ball to form a single shot, but the last shot hit the side net.

Bayern Munich scored his first shot in the game, which posed a very big threat.

But soon, Barcelona changed to color.

In this game, Guardiola made adjustments, allowing Messi, who was originally playing on the right, to move to the middle and play in the center forward, but often retreated to meet the midfield, while Henry and Etoo were separated from each other and inserted into the middle diagonally as an offensive method.

One minute after Bayern Munich's attack, it was Messi who retreated in the frontcourt. After receiving the pass from the midfield and backcourt, he passed the ball to the right. Alves quickly inserted a cross from the side. Etoo followed the edge of the small penalty area and shot, but was blocked by Hummels and left the baseline.

Barcelona then sent a corner kick, Hummels headed the ball to clear the ball, resolving a crisis.

In less than three minutes after the opening game, the two teams fought against each other, and the pace of the game went very fast.

Just one minute later, Bayern Munich made another attack. Ribery passed the ball from the left, and Aguero in the middle grabbed the ball before Puyor. After getting the ball, he suddenly hit the ball and shot directly at the front of the penalty area.

The ball hit Pique, popping out of the baseline and corner kick.

Ribery took the corner kick himself, and all the tall players of Bayern Munich entered Barcelona's penalty area, which immediately made many fans take a breath.

You know, in the European Super Cup, Barcelona once lost corner kicks, and there were several times when they almost fell on corner kicks, and every player seemed to be facing a big enemy.

As a result, the more nervous you are, the more likely you make mistakes.

Interference from the offensive side, Barcelona made a mistake in the man-tapping. Lucio threw away Pique, who was full-time defending him, rushed to the front point, grabbed the half-high ball from Ribery and headed to the goal.

The ball hit the bottom left corner of Barcelona's goal, one to zero!

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!"

"Lucio, scored first in just four minutes!"

"It's still a defensive issue for set pieces."

"I believe all fans still remember clearly that the European Super Cup at the end of August last year was also at the beginning of the game. It was a corner kick and Lucio. It was just that Brazil's central defender headed the ball, but this time he calmly seized the opportunity and gave a very exciting header."

"One to zero, Barcelona's current situation is very worrying."

On the sidelines, Gao Han was so happy that he jumped up from the ground after seeing the team scored a goal. He looked at Guardiola with provocation, as if he was saying, "What's the matter? Are you satisfied with this gift I gave you?"

Guardiola spread his hands helplessly. What else could he say about such a mistake?

Don't worry, there's still!

Gao Hanzhi laughed proudly, feeling satisfied with the progress of the game.
