Chapter 804 When the final is in progress
Barcelona really wants to get rid of this suppressed situation. Barcelona's strength is not in defense, but in offense. If the offense cannot be played, then everything can only be a cloud.
Iniesta kept retreating, hoping to play the role of the ball holder immediately after a successful defense, and use excellent foot skills to protect the ball, so as not to be confused by Notts County's mature high position press Can't even get the ball out.
Iniesta's combination of man and ball is absolutely top-notch, and he can act calmly in the face of defense. It can indeed ensure that Barcelona will not lose possession of the ball so quickly in dangerous areas, but problems will follow. Iniesta is not God, it is impossible for him to pass half of the Notts County team. He can pass one, he can pass two, but it is difficult to pass three or four. Relying on Iniesta alone may be able to stabilize the position, But it was absolutely impossible to get the ball into the Notts County half.
As a result, Ronaldinho must also retreat to meet Iniesta, leaving only Eto'o in front of him. The counterattack is weak, and he still cannot threaten Notts County's goal.
Moreover, the Notts County players are also constantly using fouls to prevent Barcelona from counterattacking. They may even foul the first time after losing the ball. Things come with ease.
Fouls are also testing the referee and testing his penalty scale. If it is loose and moderate, it will be the most beneficial for Notts County. If it is too strict, it will not be good news!
The Premier League's slightly rough style of play is often criticized in the Champions League. Everyone appreciates different football styles. English fans like to watch fierce confrontations, while many European fans are willing to watch ballet-like football.
This is where the difference lies.
If the referee is really as bright-eyed as an iron-faced judge, even if Notts County is the team with the least confrontation in England, they will definitely suffer a lot!
But fortunately, after a period of trial, the referee's penalty scale is still normal. It didn't increase the tendency because of Notts County's frequent fouls, and it didn't let Notts County's foul action get a card. It just found a set ball Time told Alonso that he hoped that Notts County would reduce small fouls to increase the fluency of the game.
Although Alonso nodded and agreed very happily, but in fact he still went his own way, and the foul was still a foul.
Notts County's overwhelming advantage continues. All the fans in front of the TV did not expect that the game will enter a one-sided state from the very beginning. Is the opponent really Barcelona, who has played all over La Liga?
Could it be that even a strong player like Barcelona will be beaten helplessly against Notts County?
What's the point of the UEFA Champions League final? The championship trophy can be awarded directly to Notts County, which saves trouble!
Before the game, although many fans were more optimistic about Notts County's ability to defend the title, they never thought that the game would be like this. It is really sad for European clubs to have such a Notts County team!
Of course, the game was far from being as simple as it seemed to most people. Notts County’s high-pressure attitude at the beginning caught Barcelona a little off guard, but Barcelona still had strength. However, Notts County never scored a goal, and Barcelona gradually came out of the restrained state at the beginning and gradually became normal.
European experience includes experience in finals. Notts County is definitely richer than Barcelona. It has won European competitions for three consecutive seasons, and this season it has reached the finals of European competitions for the fourth time. Nervous, but not enough to make the team play abnormally.
This is not the case for Barcelona. Although it has gradually revived in the past few seasons, its performance in the European War in the previous seasons was not so eye-catching. Last season, the Champions League only broke into the quarter-finals and was eliminated by Chelsea. Championship experience, but none of this group of Barcelona players has final experience.
On such an important occasion, how could the mentality of the players not change, and this kind of mysterious and mysterious things can be contagious, which is one of the reasons why Barcelona was suppressed at the beginning. Their own strength is a little bit behind, and they have not yet displayed their usual performance. Level, how could it not be suppressed!
But after 15 minutes, the Barcelona players gradually returned to normal. Notts County’s oppression made them forget their nervousness and excitement. The only remaining belief was to keep the goal. In this way, the players had no other thoughts. !
Just at this stage, Notts County, which was running crazy, also needed to take a breather. Barcelona, which had stabilized its position, began to organize a counterattack, and the flames of war burned to Notts County's half for the first time.
Barcelona's offensive ability with full firepower is still very strong. Although Harvey has not yet fully achieved in controlling the game, it has reached a certain level. In addition, Iniesta, a superstar who was matured in Notts County in advance In the midfield, Barcelona's pass control is very skillful.
In their own half, Notts County was too daring to foul and give free kicks. Even though Barcelona's overall height is low, who knows if they have any weird free kick cooperation. It is better to be cautious in the final.
Ronaldinho's breakthrough on the left has put a lot of pressure on Ramos. Although Messi will retreat to help defend, but when it comes to frontal defense, Messi can only contribute to the defense with his eyes, and he needs to pull to the side Road to help defend.
In the face of two or three double-teams, Ronaldinho is not afraid. Although he may not be able to get rid of it continuously, he can still protect the ball. This is the embodiment of personal ability. After passing the ball, he can find the space in Notts County. , Play a threat attack.
At this time, the game really entered a balanced state for the first time. Barcelona was able to play offensively, and Notts County was also very difficult to defend, entering the link of competing offensively.
Loew seemed a little impatient on the sidelines. He still thought about the game a little bit simply. No matter how strong Notts County is, it is impossible not to give Barcelona a chance. Notts County is not as strong as an alien team.
Of course, when Barcelona attacks, the gap left in the backcourt can also be used by Notts County. Notts County's frontcourt offensive combination is stronger than Barcelona's, and its offensive efficiency is also higher. Even in counterattacks, it is also better than Barcelona for the benefit.
Perhaps Loew simply wants an easier victory!
Halfway through the first half, Notts County has an absolute advantage in technical statistics, but in terms of possession rate, Barcelona is gradually catching up, but in terms of the number of shots, Notts County has always suppressed Barcelona. With a counterattack and a characteristic attack, Barcelona only got two shots in front of Notts County's overall defense, and none of them were on target. Notts County has already had 7 shots and four shots on target.
