Defend the opposing player with the ball and the receiver at the same time.
Simply put, it is to get stuck in the opponent’s ball route, especially the opponent’s forward ball route.
Forcing them to cross or, better yet, return.
If they can’t send the football forward, the defensive pressure will be much less.
This defense is simple to say, but it is not easy to achieve it.
Stuck ball route
It’s as simple as that, but it costs a lot.
First of all, the Lazio coaching staff should repeatedly study the Barcelona competition route, know everyone’s running position and ball characteristics, and then draw the Barcelona ball road map according to their characteristics
Then according to this strange road map, the Lazio defensive bitmap is made.
But this is a static picture. In the game, the opponent won’t let you attack after you get your position honestly.
Things will change constantly during the game.
The course of the opponent’s ball summarized by the coaching staff is also a rough result, and it can’t be accurate
Then, this dynamic diagram is transformed into a moving animation, aiming at the different running positions and ball routes of the opponent, how Lazio should run in defense.
Let everyone understand through animation.
be clear/manifest at a glance
Then there is training for players to practice this defense against Barcelona.
It’s really about Barcelona. It’s Barcelona that makes the team so dependent on the ball.
This process is not a week.
Lazio made preparations from the first time after the draw for the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
It can be said that Chang Sheng has never considered other possibilities. He doesn’t think CSKA Moscow will cause trouble for himself, nor does he think Arsenal can eliminate Barcelona.
The team that can reach that semi-finals are definitely Lazio and Guardiola Barcelona.
Fortunately, the Changsheng coaching staff is very familiar with Barcelona tactics, and it takes a lot of effort to make targeted tactical arrangements and training.
……
Barcelona finally beat the attack.
It’s just a detour. It’s a breakthrough from the side
Lazio’s defense had already been organized because of a round of waves.
There is no threat to handanovich guarding the gate.
Then it was Lazio’s turn to attack.
When modric took the ball forward in the backcourt and passed the midfield, he had the same problem as Boots Cox.
Barcelona players got stuck in his ball path.
Want the ball?
You can go back or sideways, but just don’t try to move forward easily.
It is best to return.
Lazio can therefore choose to cross this attack.
In the end, there was no decent shot, and the attack was over.
As a result, less than five minutes after the game, both sides had an attack, but no one created a better chance to score.
Then the attack is over.
In the eyes of pure spectators, the game may not be real yet, but both sides are just testing or looking for the state.
But in the eyes of the knowledgeable people, the fierce competition has already passed.
