Chapter 212 The Difference in Physical Ability

This equilibrium between the two sides lasted for about thirty minutes.

In these thirty minutes, there has always been mutual offense and defense.

Both sides had chances that looked good, but it was a pity that neither took it.

So the score has always been 0:0.

Although it is still 0:0, no one will find the game dull.

On the contrary, the game has always been played at a very high level.

Whether it is Lazio's rapid advancement or Barcelona's precise control, it is fascinating to watch.

Because the ball possession level of both sides is very high, and the defense is also in place, so the number of shots is actually not many.

But no one cares about that.

※ ※ ※

The Catalan commentator looked at the time. Thirty minutes into the game, Barcelona showed no sign of being at a disadvantage in the away game. Although they didn't score, they didn't allow the home team to score either.

In the eyes of this commentator, this kind of performance is already considered very good.

You know this is Lazio's home court!

All over Europe, everyone now knows how difficult Lazio's home game is.

It really deserves to be Guardiola, and fortunately the head coach of Barcelona is Guardiola, otherwise this away game will definitely lose without any suspense...

"Barcelona are now in a stalemate with Lazio, they are doing very well!"

He said so.

※ ※ ※

The Barcelona players also thought they were doing well, but it wasn't easy for them.

At the beginning of the game, facing Lazio's rapid advancement, they defended according to the requirements of the coaching staff, and they felt quite relaxed.

They can even organize an attack that can threaten Lazio's goal when Lazio has the advantage.

Like the one to Falcao just now.

But when the thirty minutes of the game passed. They gradually feel tired.

They found that their running could not keep up with Lazio's rapid movement.

Sometimes, he saw Lazio's passing and running intentions, but his body couldn't keep up, and he wanted to run over. The body was half a beat slower. So after they ran over, the opponent had already sent the football away.

simply put. Barcelona players, feel tired!

This surprised them, since the game had only started for thirty minutes!

If there's thirty minutes left in the game, maybe it's normal for them to feel tired.

But how is it possible now?

But they just feel tired. They began to gasp for air.

This kind of tiredness is not due to the psychological effect caused by the great pressure in the away game.

It is really physically tired.

In fact, the mental state of the Barcelona players is quite good, but they just feel very tired physically.

It was as if their physical energy had been quickly emptied during the 30-minute game, and they were continuously draining from their bodies, like water opening a gate.

They were shocked-how could this be possible! ?

Everyone knows that Barcelona's physical fitness is very good. Because their -taka tactics require a lot of physical fitness, if the physical fitness is not good, they will not be able to play at all.

So after Guardiola went to Barcelona. The first thing is to grasp physical fitness.

Such a good physical fitness but felt fatigued 30 minutes into the game...

Everyone is surprised.

Even if it's an ordinary team, it's not like this...

And when other teams played against Lazio, they didn't seem to find that they felt tired when the game started 30 minutes ago.

Why did it appear in Barcelona?

Did you eat badly yesterday? Or did they not sleep well, resulting in their lack of physical fitness?

neither.

It's actually about them.

It has something to do with their own defensive tactics.

This defensive tactic of blocking the opponent's passing route is very energy-consuming.

Especially when the opponent's passing and running speed is very fast, in order to keep up with the opponent's rhythm, Barcelona has to increase their speed accordingly. The result of this is that their physical energy will be consumed more than usual. quick.

However, the defensive tactics used by Lazio and Barcelona are almost the same. Why do they still seem to be in good physical condition?

First of all, because Barcelona's offensive speed is not fast, they just waited for Lazio to set up a position before rushing up. Secondly, because Barcelona's speed is not fast, Lazio needs to run much less time and distance to defend.

Third, Lazio's physical condition is already stronger than Barcelona. In the league, Barcelona has always been hotly pursued by Real Madrid and cannot get rid of Real Madrid. Naturally, the league will take up more energy for them and there will be no rest time. Unlike Lazio, they have a big lead in the league, so they can easily rotate and rest more main players.

Fourth, Barcelona arrived in Rome after a long-distance journey of two days and one night by bus. The exhaustion of the boat and the car made their conditions not good and had a great impact on their physical fitness. And Lazio is waiting for work.

Fifth, and the most important point - Changsheng has continuously used game skills to reduce the speed of physical consumption on the team during this period. Although it is the end of the season, Lazio's physical fitness is better than Barcelona.

When Barcelona's physical fitness began to feel difficult, their defensive quality naturally declined.

In the thirty-fifth minute, Lazio launched an attack.

Barcelona is still only going to block the passing route and then siege and pick up the players.

As a result, they made mistakes in cooperation this time, and their steps were inconsistent.

Let Modric pass the football.

Straight plug!

Gotze retreated and received the ball. With his back to the attacking direction, he did not turn around, but directly used the outside instep of his right foot to transfer the football to Ledesma next to him.

Then he turned and ran.

Ledesma still passed it with one kick.

He transferred football to David Silva.

David Silva then passed the ball forward to Cavani.

Because Barcelona's defense was not organized at the beginning, Barcelona's next defense collapsed, one after another, none of which could keep up with Lazio's speed of passing the ball in the offense.

When Cavani has the ball, he doesn't even have his back to the attacking direction because he's also running.

Cavani receives the ball in the penalty area. Then he made a gesture to shoot, which attracted everyone's attention.

But when he swung his right foot down, he knocked lightly to the side...

He passed the ball again!

Puyol, who intercepted him in front of him, quickly followed the football and chased him.

But it's too late...

"Mario Gotze——!"

In the growl of the narrator who stretched his voice.

Gotze rushed into the penalty area and then volleyed against the football!

The football was ahead of Puyol's flying tackle. rushed over. Breaking through Valdez's ten fingers again, finally... hitting the net hard!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball-in-la-la-!!"

"L!!! Gotze! Gotze! Mario Gotze!!"

"Beautiful cooperation! Typical Lazio-style attack. Fast so that Barcelona can't keep up! Bang bang bang bang - continuous kick pass, Lazio players appeared in every position by running. ! And finished the goal!"

The commentators cheered.

Chang Sheng on the sidelines also raised his fists and walked out of the coach's bench to celebrate the goal.

As soon as the goal was scored, he was at least half relieved.

Lazio is good at playing downwind. The first goal is equal to laying the foundation for victory.

But in this goal, what makes him most happy is not the result, but the performance of Barcelona in this goal.

He could see that Barcelona couldn't keep up with Lazio's speed.

After all, the season is nearing the end, and it is normal for Barcelona's physical fitness to not keep up.

Coupled with long-distance travel, boats and cars are exhausting. It would be abnormal if they still had the physical strength to run all over the field.

This goal shows that his tactics against Barcelona are effective.

Just kick it down!

※ ※ ※

While Chang Sheng was cheering for the goal, Guardiola looked annoyed.

He couldn't help being annoyed.

Tactical no problem. Tit for tat.

But in the end the ball was lost.

why is that?

He has seen it.

Because physical fitness can't keep up.

In theory, the tactics are correct.

But in actual operation, there is still a very important factor of physical fitness that affects the results of tactical performance...

After Lazio's speed increased, Barcelona couldn't keep up.

If the players came by plane, they might not be able to last the first half... He has reduced the training time after coming to Rome and tried to let the players rest.

But still not enough...

Guardiola decided to adjust.

Don't rush to attack, if the football is at their feet, use possession to slow down the tempo and buy time so the players can recover some energy.

If it really doesn't work, I'd rather just lose the game like this, a small loss by one goal is better than a complete collapse...

As for such an adjustment, it will inevitably damage the scene, Guardiola can't take care of it.

Having been with Chang Sheng for many years, Guardiola has also somewhat acquired some of Chang Sheng's utilitarian habits.

Of course, the most important reason is this game, or this match, this semi-final, Guardiola does not want to lose.

This is a battle of ideas. If you lose, does it mean that your ideas are wrong?

This is by no means acceptable.

Even worse than losing the championship!

While the Lazio players were still celebrating their goals, Guardiola called Xavi over.

Teach him the opportunity face to face.

"Control the tempo, slow the game down, try not to let Lazio's players have too much possession time, don't let them steal the ball. If they want to play fast, surround them in the midfield and let They won't get up anytime soon."

Guardiola said while Xavi listened.

But after listening to it, he also had a question: "What about the offense, coach?"

Guardiola shook his head: "We don't need to attack until the end of the first half!"

Harvey looked at his head coach in surprise.

He really didn't expect such words to come from his head coach.

At what time did Barcelona always pursue an offensive team...

"There was one thing we had to do before the end of the first half, it was simple - no more conceding. It's better to go into half-time one goal down than two or three down. .”

Somewhat surprised to see Xavi, Guardiola explained.

"There are only ten minutes left, can they still score us two more goals?" Harvey wondered.

"If we continue to play like before, with what I know about this Lazio team..." Guardiola nodded. "They're perfectly capable of doing that."

After speaking, he patted Harvey on the shoulder: "Okay, go up and tell them, first try not to lose the ball!"

Harvey was pushed back onto the court by him.

Just like a gambler pushing a bunch of chips into the game.
