Chapter 425 Only One Strong Point
I don't know why, when those Spanish media reporters interviewed Notts County, there was always a slight sense of superiority in their words.
Perhaps they feel that La Liga has far more UEFA points than the Premier League and is the number one league in the world. As a giant in La Liga, facing a club from England like Notts County, this kind of game is almost the same as technical poverty alleviation.
Since the Spanish media put themselves and Barcelona in a high position, Notts County has no reason to cater to each other and flatter the other party. Therefore, before the game, Notts County completely closed the training and refused all interviews.
Barcelona and the Spaniards feel good about themselves, so let them play on their own, pardon us.
As a result of this decision, the Spanish media clamored infinitely, and Barcelona became more and more presumptuous, as if Notts County was not taken seriously at all.
Some people just want to teach him a good lesson in the game, the kind that they will never forget.
Before the start of the game, David was a little worried, because in his memory, Barcelona would receive some special care more or less in the European arena, especially in the Nou Camp, where there are endless disputes and penalties. If Notts County encounters this Such a nasty thing, do you have to swallow your anger like many clubs?
But soon, David smiled and shook his head, he was a little too sensitive!
If I remember correctly, Barcelona received special care after Platini came to power. Barcelona, as a representative of technical football, is in line with the promotion concept of football by French celebrities, so there will be various situations later. As for now , There is no need to worry about these things at all, because Platini has not yet sat on the throne of UEFA president, and Barcelona has not yet become the invincible cosmic team.
On the day of the game, David rejected Laporta's invitation and sat on the coach's bench with Love to watch the game. He didn't want to sit in the box with a hypocrite like Laporta and make a fuss.
The Nou Camp stadium can accommodate nearly 10 fans to enter the stadium to watch the game. The atmosphere of the stadium is even stronger than that of Old Trafford. The impact is limited.
This is the first time that Notts County has played against Barcelona. Perhaps such confrontations will not become a minority in the future, so this move by Notts must make a good start.
At the beginning of the game, Barcelona will take advantage of the advantages of the home court to take the lead. Ronaldinho, the elf prince on the field, began to show the demeanor of the top superstar after being integrated into Barcelona's tactical system. Comparing him with Zidane at his peak, even though he has not yet won the club honors, there are still countless people calling for him to be awarded the World Footballer of the Year.
Ronaldinho is alone on the left side with his unparalleled skills. Even if Loew specially asked Dirk to start assisting Ram to defend Ronaldinho in order to restrict Ronaldinho, he still couldn't stop Ronaldinho from playing.
Of course, switching to any side lane in the world, there is nothing that can be done to Ronaldinho.
However, in front of Notts County as a whole, Ronaldinho can only make a fuss on the wing. Once he walks to the middle, he must be greeted by Notts County's overall defense, making him feel like he is being handcuffed on his feet. in shackles.
In fact, Ronaldinho is now the absolute core of Barcelona. When there are no other players who can help Ronaldinho share the offensive pressure, Barcelona's offense depends entirely on Ronaldinho to open the situation.
Even though Ronaldinho was able to pass a few good kicks from the wing, Kluivert, who responded in the center, did not do much under the restrictions of Carvalho. As for other players, they have also been submerged in Notts County. in the overall defense.
If there is only one strong point, then Barcelona will definitely not be able to pose too much threat to Notts County.
Although Davis has offensive ability, the Dutch beast waist is more of a defensive player;
Cocu also has both offense and defense, but because of his age, he is no longer as brave as he used to be;
Harvey is talented, but he has not yet reached the peak, he can only play the role of the younger brother next to the two big brothers, he is not bad as a helper, but he has no chance to help Ronaldinho share the pressure.
As for the other winger, Quaresma, who started the game, is simply Barcelona's offensive terminator, with him or without him, the difference is not big.
Barcelona's lineup can be crushed when facing the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, but facing strong teams, once Ronaldinho is restricted, the performance of the Catalan giants will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, after several fruitless attacks by Barcelona, Notts County slowly took control of the game, and the magpies in the away game began to slowly show their wings.
Rijkaard saw that Barcelona became passive, and he didn't panic at all, because Barcelona's best tactic now is defensive counterattack, and the team's lineup is also most suitable for this tactic. Once the control is released, Barcelona can find an appropriate opportunity to catch Notts County's counterattack.
But after more than ten minutes, Rijkaard lost his composure, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his face.
Notts County did not form the most commonly used 4231 formation today, but a 433 formation similar to Barcelona's. The three starting midfielders all have defensive capabilities, and there is also a full-time defensive midfielder who controls the game. Regardless of the change in rhythm, it is not something Barcelona's current lineup can compete with.
For more than ten minutes, Barcelona barely touched the ball. Notts County created opportunities after passing it patiently. Even if they failed to score in the end, they were not discouraged. Most of Barcelona's players were suppressed into the penalty area, and the three lines directly became two lines.
Iniesta's state today is simply superb. I don't know if he was affected by the transfer rumors, or he also wants to prove himself in front of his old club. His breakthrough and organization on the left are simply top-notch masters. The powerful teammates in the field look no worse than Ronaldinho in Barcelona.
When other players got the ball, the Barcelona fans in the Nou Camp stands immediately booed, but when only Iniesta got the ball, the boos would not sound, and there might even be sparse applause. It makes people think about it.
When Rijkaard saw Iniesta's performance, the desire in his eyes was undisguised. If Iniesta and Ronaldinho echoed each other in the Barcelona formation at this time, then facing Notts County, Barcelona It is impossible to give up the initiative. These two players alone are enough for Barcelona to crush all teams.
