Chapter 296 Great Victory

China has a fun metaphor for intensive defense, called turtle contraction. After Alkmaar shrinks the defense, the whole formation is indeed like a turtle. Tomasson is at the front, and Drogba is behind him, just like the turtle's head and neck, but Drogba has to participate in the defense of the midfield, and Klose goes straight back. The midfielder became a defensive player, and Ronaldinho was responsible for the dual tasks of defense and attack. The eight players are like the body of a turtle, and the goalkeeper Cesar is dragged at the end, like the tail of a turtle.

Although the tortoise shrink sounds unpleasant, it is very practical. The thick tortoise shell is like an armor. It can't be knocked open without a heavy hammer, and if you are not careful, you may be bitten by a quick sharp tooth. It makes the opponent very difficult.

Barcelona faced this dilemma in the last ten minutes. In the narrow space of DeHout Stadium, their stars have no space to break through, and there is no space to cooperate. What's more, Alkmaer does not even let Barcelona complete the bottom pass, only giving Barcelona the opportunity to rush and long-range shots in the backcourt.

It has become a tradition for a Barcelona team to play short passes. Even if Van Gaal comes, it has not changed the team's tradition. It just adds its own tactical ideas, pays attention to playing the sidelines, the combination of the sidelines, and fast attack.

It is almost impossible for Barcelona to play a long pass, and they do not have such a staffing. Even if the short pass can't be penetrated out, Barcelona is still constantly passing around the forbidden area of Alkmaar, and trying to find every flaw that appears in Alkmaar.

Alkmaar's defense has always been not bad. Jiang Mu also attaches great importance to the team's defense, but they really don't play much in intensive defense, mainly because no team can play them to play intensive defense. Mistakes are inevitable in defense. It's just a small space. There are many defensive players, and one player's mistakes will be immediately remedied by another player. The reaction time left for the attacking players is very short, and it is very difficult to catch.

The game lasted until the 80th minute that Barcelona penetrated into Alkmaar's penalty area, and Enrique plugged in and faced the goalkeeper Cesar directly, but Enrique's angle of shooting was very small. He wanted to break through Cesar's crotch, but he bounced out on Cesar's leg.

At this moment, Barcelona is no longer allowed to embroider near the penalty area of Alkmaar. The short pass penetration in the middle has become untimely. Van Garr has no good move at this moment. He can only replace another striker Cenden, replace the central defender Aberado, and use four strikers to attack Barcelona's penalty area.

After playing for 80 minutes, Alkmaar led by two goals. This huge psychological advantage makes Alkmaar's players play easily. The card position is accurate, decisive, and fierce. Every Alkmaar player has played a very high level. The Spanish commentator couldn't help exclaiming, "Dropba is more like a defender than a defender!" Ronaldinho fights like Gattuso! God, this Alkmaar is crazy.

The Spanish commentator is right. Now Alkmaar is crazy. The supreme glory of defeating Barcelona to make the quarterfinals and huge bonuses stimulate these young people like stimulants. For them, winning have famous cars, beautiful women, luxury houses and reputations. How can they not work hard? For Barcelona, winning Alkmaar is just a normal performance. Losing to Alkmaar is a shame. Their psychological pressure has been much greater than that of Alkmaar from the beginning, which is also an important reason why Alkmaar can lead Barcelona 3:1 in addition to tactics.

With the passage of the game time, Barcelona has become more impatient. Even smart players like Harvey and Guardiola can't help hanging the ball to the penalty area, which shows how impatient they are. It can also be seen that they are exhausted. There is no way to collect defense.

However, Barcelona's nonsensical battle has brought more pressure to Alkmaar than their short pass infiltration. After all, the short pass penetration is falling back and down outside the penalty area, while the long pass is the ball flying around in the penalty area. The ball flies around the goal for a long time. Even if there is no Barcelona player, it is possible to take the ball. Enter into your own door. How can players be free from pressure?

Because Chang'e No. 1 monitors the player's various physical data, Jiang Mu's psychological grasp of the players is very accurate. He sees that the player's psychological pressure is too high, the error rate is increasing, and the action becomes more rough than before. Sometimes unnecessary fouls also begin to foul. He knows that he can't keep it like this anymore. Don't look at it. It's less than five minutes including stoppage time. If a goal is lost in these five minutes, the 3:2 score is not as good as 2:1 and 1:0. He facilitated Barcelona's opportunity to serve a free kick and ordered Ronaldo, Tomasson, Drog and Klose to attack, and put a little pressure on the opponent's back line to prevent the opponent from attacking unscrupulously.

Barcelona's free kick is at the front of the penalty area, and Figo will take charge.

At this time, Figo naturally didn't have the heart to fight any more tactical cooperation. He fired directly and shot vigorously, trying to break through the human wall, but the ball bounced back from hitting the wall. However, the ball almost bounced straight back and bounced back in front of Figo. Figo followed without thinking and shot in the air. At this time, the human wall was already in a mess, and Figo's volley flew straight to the far corner of the goal.

What a Cesar, under almost impossible circumstances, he jumped, stretched his body almost to the limit, and held the ball out of the bottom line with one hand.

The beautiful shooting was wonderful, and the fans applauded everywhere. Barcelona fans and Alkmar fans cheered for the protagonists Figo and Cesar in this attack and defense.

Figo waved his fist regretfully. The shot was already very good, with good timing, strength and angle, but this unknown young boy actually threw the shot out. I'm so lucky.

Van Gaal almost made preparations to celebrate. As a result, the ball was saved, and he also sighed and sat down. 3:1 and 3:2 are two completely different concepts. Now he does not expect to equalize the score. As long as he can score another, they can return to Barcelona with some face, but such a good shot is I rushed out, and Barcelona's ideas today are a little behind.

Next is Barcelona's corner kick opportunity. This corner kick was led by Guardiola. The first corner kick from Guardiola went to the penalty area, but the referee Frikes asked for a heavy penalty by the referee Frix for not putting the ball in the designated position. The second time, Guardiola played a tactical corner kick and passed the ball to full-back Sergi.

Sergi, who failed to play during the whole game, showed his brave performance this time. He went straight to the bottom of the Cloncamp and swept the ball into the penalty area with the power of a shot.

This pass is extremely threatening. Because the speed is too fast, the goalkeeper dare not touch it. Players in the penalty area may touch the goal. However, it is surprising that there are more than a dozen players from Barcelona and Alkma in the penalty area, but no one touches the ball, allowing the ball to fly directly out of the sideline.

The fans were extremely shocked by this strange scene, and they talked about how the ball avoided the kicking of dozens of feet.

Barcelona's two threatening attacks strengthened the Alkmar player's determination to counterattack. After Riese threw the ball to Ronaldinho, the Barcelona player kicked the ball out the first time. He didn't close his foot and took Ronaldinho. When Riser passed the ball to Ronaldinho again, Little Manning directly took Ronaldinho's legs. The ball kicked together, and the ball flew out of the sideline again.

Referee Frikes blew a foul on Littmanning and awarded Alkmaar a free kick in the backcourt.

This time Ronaldinho did not pass the ball directly to Tomasson. He played a small cooperation with Riese and took the ball forward by himself. When Little Manning came up again, Ronaldinho did not give him another chance to foul. He accelerated and broke through Little Manning's defense, and then transferred the big foot long pass before Guardiola came up. When I got to the empty right side, I looked for Drogba.

Drogba saw that there was no one left or right, so he took the ball from the side to Barcelona's half-time.

Sergi had already assisted in the front court. When he saw Drogba's dribble assist, he immediately accelerated to chase back and wanted to break Drogba's ball. Drogba's speed was not fast, but because of Jiang Mu's order, now Alkmaar's offensive players have dispersed and appeared on the left, middle and right three lines. Drogba can pass with a lot of choices. Seeing Sergi approaching, Drogba passed the ball to the middle to find Klose.

Barcelona replaced the central defender Aberado, and now only De Boer is watching Tomasson in the middle, and Close is followed by Harvey.

However, the big black Drogba is a big man with great wisdom. When he saw Harvey following Klose, he passed a high ball.

Klose's header was the first in Alkmaar. It was a joke that Harvey wanted to compete for the header with Klose. He could only lean against Klose with his body down and wanted to block Alkmaar's counterattack with a foul.

Harvey looked at Klose's header with his own header. He felt that he could rely on Klose. He didn't expect that Klose had a strong ability to stay in the air. He was in the air, and then threw the header to Van Bomel.

Van Bommel plugged in quickly, and there were only teammates Tomasson and central defender De Boer in front of him.

Although De Boer knew the danger of Tomasson, he could only abandon Tomasson to guard against Bomel at this time.

When there is only one central defender left, and the opponent has two attacking players, even if the central defender is the first in the world, there is no way at this time unless the opponent makes a mistake.

Van Bommel was neither stubborn nor greedy. He passed the ball directly behind De Boer.

At this time, Tomasson, who followed De Boer running back, suddenly turned around and went back to catch the ball, because Serge was closer to the goalkeeper than Tomasson on the side, and Tomasson was a beautiful anti-offside.

Tomasson, who formed a single knife, did not waste the opportunity. In the face of goalkeeper Baia, he pushed the lower left corner of the goal and scored the fourth goal of the game, which also ended Barcelona's last madness.
