Chapter 567: Pushed to the limit in a desperate situation! (page 12)
"Kaka passed Valdes and scored with a push! In 5 minutes, Leeds United won two games in a row!"
"Is Barcelona going to have an avalanche in the Champions League final?"
"Haha, no matter what they do, Leeds United will definitely defeat them!"
Kaka rushed to the sideline with his hands pointing to the sky. The shining light of the boy in white seemed to light up the whole world at this night!
As the Champions League final approaches 30 minutes, Kaká passes and shoots!
Mourinho, who was watching the game at home, looked solemn.
In La Liga, his opponent is Barcelona.
In Europe, his opponent will be Leeds United.
The showdown between Barcelona and Leeds United is definitely not to be missed.
Leeds United's two-goal lead over Barcelona made him frown.
At the same time, he also fell into deep thought.
Barcelona's pursuit of controlling the ball is actually absolutely crazy. The reason why people can't see any major problems is that there is only one reason: their lineup is too strong!
In other words, such a strong lineup must also be strong in other tactics.
Therefore, they themselves cannot detect the problem of going too far or not doing enough.
It's just boring to be occasionally complained about by fans.
And because Leeds United also has an extremely strong lineup, they can compete with Barcelona on a technical and tactical level.
Even today is a head-to-head confrontation.
Two years ago, Shen Hao used defensive counterattack tactics to show the world a clear path.
Anti-counterattack can restrain Barcelona.
But this must be a prerequisite. The lineup must be strong enough and the tactical integration must be excellent.
So Real Madrid is actually taking this path under Mourinho.
This season's Champions League semi-finals failed, and they were unable to compete with Barcelona in the league. The reason is that Real Madrid's technical and tactical integration takes time to improve its comprehensive technical and tactical strength. Perhaps the results of transformation will not be truly achieved until next season at the earliest. .
But today Leeds United played a high-end game with Barcelona, which felt like a déjà vu.
Leeds United did not consume it through simple defensive counterattacks, but seized the opportunity to try to deal a fatal blow to Barcelona.
Compared with Barcelona's ultimate control of the ball, they are more focused on capturing gaps in the defense, but they lose their keen alertness to changes in the overall situation of the game.
As it happens, this is what Leeds United are good at.
Barcelona is nothing more than able to regulate the pace.
But Leeds United was able to speed up and complete efficient cooperation based on taking advantage of changes in situation and rhythm.
It is no accident that Suarez retreated and acted as a fulcrum to deliver a wonderful pass to Kaká.
Mourinho felt even heavier.
He is still confident in restraining Barcelona, but it will take time and stronger team cohesion.
But there is a fear of the unknown towards Leeds United.
New Wembley Stadium.
Guardiola came to his senses and the pressure was off the charts!
It’s a mess, it’s a mess!
Situation, rhythm, including mentality.
It seemed that Barcelona couldn't even survive the first half and was about to be taken away by Leeds United.
Don't think about counterattack at this time.
We need to be able to stabilize ourselves first.
Barcelona, from defender Pique to midfielder Xavi, were cheering for their teammates, while Messi was frowning. He didn't expect the moment when he was trying so hard to reach his peak, but it was as if he had stepped into the Shura Field and was falling into a trap. A devastating disaster!
After Barcelona kicked off again, they patiently controlled the ball and deliberately controlled the rhythm.
Leeds United's forwards still burned physical energy and actively fought and blocked the midfield.
Forcing Barcelona to rely on wing speed to launch threatening offensive.
Alves assisted to the frontcourt, and Messi passed the ball to the right after containing it inside.
Alves made a pass, but Villa and Pedro failed to grab the point, and Thiago Silva headed the ball to clear the ball.
Barcelona's frontcourt counterattacked quickly in and out, Modric distributed the ball to the wing, and they quickly retreated like a tide.
But Leeds United's offensive organization is not only fast, but also has fierce momentum.
Gareth Bale advanced from the wing without getting entangled with Abidal, and passed the ball decisively to the middle. Kaká was blocked in front, and he knocked the ball back.
Modric stepped forward and sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
When the football rolled to the left side of the front court, Deisler controlled the ball and Alves was about to return to defense.
Deisler dribbled inward, making it meaningless for Alves to run all the way back.
When facing Pique, Deisler sent a cross and then moved forward.
Suarez took the initiative to connect with the instep of the Chinese and foreign players and passed the ball to the left rib area of the penalty area.
When Pique turned around, Deisler volleyed directly!
The football flew towards the far corner of the center of the goal.
Valdes made a flying save to resolve the danger and block the ball.
Kaka headed the ball from the frontcourt to the right wing.
Gareth Bale cut inside to stop the ball, grabbed time and immediately swung his leg for a long shot.
The football flying toward Barcelona's goal made Valdez's scalp numb and his heart pounding.
He made a hasty second save, but the football flew slightly over the crossbar and into the stands.
Phew, Leeds United fans are disappointed.
Then applause for Gareth Bale.
Guardiola's face was expressionless, but in fact he was panicking.
Leeds United's fast break will always make people think that they are playing defense, but it is actually a fast break.
And this is also determined by Barcelona's style of play.
Who makes Barcelona have a soft spot for possession of the ball?
If they simply do not press in the midfield and backcourt, and only rely on the trident to create threats, Leeds United will have space to control the ball.
And it is impossible to blindly launch a fast break without enough impact space.
In the 38th minute of the game, Barcelona's frontcourt attack was frustrated again. This time it launched a fast break from the left. The cooperation between Villa and Pedro made Barcelona fans a little bit unbearable.
Leeds gave them space as Kante was closer to Messi.
Pedro cut in and passed back, and Villa immediately took a long shot after adjusting outside the penalty area.
The football was confiscated by Neuer.
If you can't create a world wave outside the penalty area, how can you break through Neuer's ten-finger barrier?
Leeds United quickly organized an offensive, and Barcelona stopped attacking in the frontcourt.
Except for frontline harassment.
The midfielders and backfield players quickly retreated.
Leeds United advanced the attack with a quick pass in the midfield.
The formation also pressed up at the same time.
Modric went to the front and right area of the penalty area to receive Suarez's return pass and then sent a through ball.
Gareth Bale bypassed the cancer fighter Abidal from the outside and reached the right side of the penalty area. Mascherano retreated quickly, and Gareth Bale could only stab the ball to the center of the goal first.
Pique cleared the ball before Suarez could outflank him.
The ball flew to the left side of the midfield, but Kyle Walker controlled the ball. Pedro came to press, and Kyle Walker passed the ball to Modric who retreated to receive the ball.
Barcelona's midfielder and forward quickly formed a pincer attack, but Modric sent a wide cross that made the audience shine.
