This is the first time Guardiola has returned to the Nou Camp as a guest.
Before the game, he refused the invitation of Barcelona management, instead of going to the grandstand to sit with them, he chose to sit in the area of the visiting Atletico Madrid fans.
This is also a part of his professional ethics.
Moreover, he was also very grateful to the coach Gao Han''s explanation to avoid being accused by fans who did not know the inside story.
At this moment, sitting in the stands, watching the game on the court, his mood is very contradictory, very complex.
"Harvey is young after all."
Guardiola sighed as he watched Xavi leave his defensive position to snatch Atletico Madrid''s possession.
For a young professional player, the experience gained from competition and training is important, but it is also crucial for his own exploration and positioning. The latter often depends on the advice and correction of the head coach and predecessors.
As a legend of Barcelona, Guardiola is very optimistic about Harvey, who is also born in ramasia, but also feels sorry, because in the past few years, no one can help him except van Gaal.
He is twenty-one years old. If he doesn''t find his own way to Barcelona in the next few years, his future in the team will be bad.
However, Barcelona''s positions have been turbulent in recent years. Whether Ferrer or rexac, they are obviously not good teachers of Harvey. As for teammates, Luis Enrique and rivardo are superstars, but they can not give much help to Harvey. Kocu''s style is quite different from Harvey''s.
Another midfield player Gabriel''s development is a bit biased, and herad, who was recovered from Valencia, is even more incompatible with the characteristics of the team, so it is difficult to get a position in the team.
Thinking of this, Guardiola sighed deeply. He didn''t want to see Barcelona''s tradition end.
But now, he has no power.
…………
…………
The tactics on the football field are closely linked.
As soon as Harvey got into the fight, Koku had to adjust his position immediately.
Two midfielders moved and Barcelona''s defence had to react.
Atletico Madrid did not expect, Barcelona will suddenly grab, but also really lost the ball to pass.
But the cold team has one characteristic, is the player''s tactical execution is high, the arrival rate is also high.
Under the guarantee of double high, Atletico Madrid''s on-the-spot counter attack has always been carried out quite well. Even if it doesn''t come back from the first attack, the team can always make use of the excellent rate of players'' on-the-spot, create the advantage of the Bureau as soon as possible, and contain the opponent''s counterattack.
This time, too.
Harvey and Koku united to grab the ball, but found no place to pass around.
In front of a few superstar big men are waiting in idle court, no one is willing to come back.
It is the new team, the most junior, and most eager to prove their performance Saviola back.
It''s no use. Atletico Madrid has blocked every outgoing line.
Harvey thought a turn, immediately back defense.
He is very clear that under the pressure of Atletico Madrid, the ball right is hot potato, who grasp in the hand, who is easy to make mistakes, can only rely on drumming to pass flowers in general, keep passing.
But there is a problem.
Barcelona are fond of controlling the ball, which is concentrated in the middle and front court, especially on a few superstar players. But in the middle and back court, the ball is obviously out of control.
Atletico Madrid decisive pressure before, a little pressure, cristanvar is a direct long pass big foot.
It''s all right. As long as the whole team is pressed after the long pass and the collective pressure is exerted, even if it can''t break the press of Atletico Madrid, it can at least relieve the pressure of the middle and back court.
But the problem is, when the ball came to the front court, Pablo, who started for machena, blocked cruyvette with his body and headed the ball back to the midfield. Atletico Madrid''s players cooperated with each other and controlled the second point in time.
So the ball fell at the foot of the sheet Corps.
Barcelona''s defence was just halfway down the road when they found that the ball was suddenly lost and immediately wanted to go back.
But Atletico Madrid also found out.
Deco suddenly passed the ball to Kaka''s side.
I saw that Kaka, who had to withdraw to catch the ball, suddenly stopped and received a pass from Deco. He turned around, threw away Harvey behind him and accelerated the start.
"Atletico Madrid found a loophole. Kaka started attacking with the ball from midfield. He was very confident
"Kaka is very fast, my God, who can stop him?"
"Koku tried to block Kaka, but he was cleverly avoided."
"Now Atletico Madrid''s trident is three against two in the front court, good chance..."
"Kaka is at the top of the big penalty area... Into the penalty area..."
"Torres catches the ball from the right and crosses to the goal!"
"Villa... The ball is in!!"
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！！”
"In the ninth minute, just nine minutes from the beginning, Atletico Madrid took the lead to break Barcelona''s goal!"
"It''s a beautiful counterattack. With the help of Torres, villa went straight behind christanwar and pushed calmly. One to zero, Atletico Madrid opened the record and broke the deadlock on the field."
"Villa, the hero of the goal, hugged Torres and Kaka excitedly. Without the excellent dribble of the Brazilian players and the calm cross in front of Torres'' goal, villa''s goal would not have come so easily."
"With the deepening of the season, we can gradually feel that Atletico Madrid Trident with more and more tacit understanding, they often perform on the pitch with incredible subtlety
"What''s more exciting is that these three players are not very old. Villa will soon be 20 years old, Kaka is only 19, and Torres is only 17 years old. However, they have formed the most dangerous attacking combination in La Liga this season
"This is the head coach of Atletico Madrid, who is only 24 years old
"That''s him, this season in Atletico Madrid set off a storm of youth, with the bedspread legion of this group of young guards, invincible in the entire La Liga arena."
"Barcelona were in a bad situation when they lost the ball in the first nine minutes
…………
…………
After Gao Han saw villa''s goal in the coach''s seat, the whole person stood up happily, hugged Buena Ventura, cantarero and others, and then shook hands with the players on the bench one by one to celebrate.
Opening attack is a tactical strategy, the biggest purpose is to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent from the beginning of the game, and strive to grasp the rhythm of the game and control the ball in their own hands.
As for the goal, it''s a windfall!
However, Gao Han went to the edge of the court, clapped at the players on the court, and then signaled them to continue to press on and keep the pressure on Barcelona. We can''t relax just because we are ahead of a goal.
After that, he gave a thumbs up to Torres.
The captain of the Madrid arena grinned happily.
Recently, Torres has been more passionate and aggressive on the pitch.
"A few days ago, the boy suddenly came to me and said he wanted to practice more. I suspected I had heard it wrong." Gao Han shook his head with a smile.
Cantarello also smile, Torres is responsible for the training plan.
"These days, he''s really training hard, he''s always in good shape, and you''ve worked on his motivation."
Gao Han nodded and he was happy to see Torres change.
It''s not that Torres didn''t do well before.
On the contrary, for an ordinary 17-year-old player, Torres''s performance at the beginning of the league is quite good, but the problem is that the cold demands him more.
He and villa''s potential has reached 185, but after half a season of training in the second division, plus the king''s cup, as well as this season''s La Liga training, their improvement is very obvious.
Villa, who is older, has made the most obvious progress. His strength has reached 155, and he has been promoted by 10 points. It''s really rare. On the court, villa is the number one scorer of the team.
Torres''s strength was almost the same as villa''s, but in the past six months, he has only improved five points, reaching 149. Compared with other people, it is quite rare, but in the cold, the progress is too slow.
Because of this, after the recovery of Kiko''s state, Gao Han intended to use Kiko to create some pressure on Torres and urge him to improve, because he has a hunch that the potential of villa and Torres is likely to go further.
The team has won successive battles. In addition, every game in the cold weather is fed by skill cards. The strength of the players in the team is also improved by leaps and bounds.
Carvalho has continued his progress in the Portuguese Super League last season. In the past few months, he has improved 10 points again, reaching 160 points, which can be regarded as the central defence level of La Liga.
Machena is a little bit less. He has improved eight points to 148, which is quite good.
Deco is now the strongest in the team. After joining Atletico Madrid, he has improved six points to 167.
This number in La Liga is also quite good, although it is not top, but also the level of the first-line midfield.
And the closer to the upper limit of potential, the slower progress tends to be.
Xabi Alonso has also improved by 10 points, reaching 153, which is also a good progress.
Gao Han feels that under the influence of Guardiola, Xavi Alonso''s understanding and control of the game are getting higher and higher, which is far more than the improvement of his strength and makes him happy.
The Brazilian forward Kaka, praised by the media as the biggest discovery of Atletico Madrid this season, has improved 13 points to 164 points after joining the team. It seems that he is hopeful to replace Deco and become the strongest player in the team.
But what surprised Gao is Marcos Senna. In the past few months, the Brazilian midfield has made 15 achievements, which once again refreshes Gao''s impression of the Brazilian midfield.
Low key almost no sense of existence, but conscientiously guarding the midfield, unknown contribution to the team, Marcos Senna is absolutely the team can perform so well in the midfield pillar.
It is precisely because of the rapid progress of the players and the excellent performance of the team that Gao Han dare to promise that he will not introduce strong players during the winter break and summer transfer, but focus on improving the thickness of the bench.
Also because the team has this strength, so, he dare to set up a posture in the Camp Nou stadium, against Barcelona.
Not only to win, but also to win decency.
Isn''t Barcelona good at controlling the ball?
Then he''s going to beat Barcelona with possession（ (to be continued.)
