Super Marshal

After taking a goal lead at the beginning, Inter Milan not only did not retreat, but further pursued the victory.

Yaya Toure was very active in the midfield and frontcourt. The first goal just now came from his midfield steal. After that, he expanded his coverage and frequently pressured Barcelona.

Playing four consecutive games in seven days, such a high-intensity devil's schedule caused serious problems in Barcelona's physical fitness.

However, Inter Milan gathered all their strength and carefully prepared for this Super Cup, especially strengthening the steal and pressure on Barcelona's midfield. This allowed Barcelona to have possession of the ball, but they frequently made mistakes in passing and receiving.

On the other hand, the Nerazzurri took advantage of Barcelona's passing and receiving errors to frequently counterattack.

What's even more terrible is that Gao Han did not retreat like other teams, but decisively pushed the defensive line into Barcelona's half, shortening the counterattack distance and greatly increasing Inter Milan's counterattack threat.

When it came to the game, Barcelona firmly controlled the ball, but could never pass the center line. Instead, they made frequent mistakes and were repeatedly threatened by Inter Milan to counterattack. It can even be said that they became more threatening every time.

Behind Inter Milan, although there is a large gap, Barcelona has never been able to find an effective way to pass through the midfield.

Ronaldinho, Messi and Eto'o tried many times to break through with the ball, but failed to achieve results.

Xavi and Deco also kept trying to send deep passes, but it was difficult to pass to the front trident, which made Barcelona passive in the scene.

Finally, at the 12th minute of the game, Inter Milan counterattacked again.

After stealing the ball in the midfield, Cambiaso made a long pass to find Adriano. The Brazilian forward stopped the ball directly to the right wing. After Maicon intervened at high speed, he did not wait for the Barcelona defenders to get in place and directly passed the ball diagonally. , hoisting the ball into the penalty area and falling to the back point.

The entire goal routine was exactly the same as in the second attack before. The only difference was that Cristiano Ronaldo, who stepped in from behind, headed the ball high, but this time, the Portuguese quickly got rid of Zambrotta. , inserted diagonally into the back, got ahead of Thuram, and headed the ball into Valdez's goal from close range.

Two to zero!

The entire Stade Louis II has completely turned into a celebration stage for Inter Milan.

All the players rushed to the sidelines and celebrated the arrival of the team's second goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high, showing his amazing jumping ability, and the subsequent header was just right, leaving Valdes with no time to react.

Barcelona's center back Thuram failed to defend in time and became the best foil for the Portuguese's goal.

…………

…………

"Wow!"

On the sidelines, Gao Han was so excited that he clenched his fists and cheered after seeing Cristiano Ronaldo score.

Inter Milan played very smoothly in this game, too smoothly.

In just about ten minutes, two goals were scored in a row, and the trend of the game could basically be judged.

But this is obviously not enough.

Therefore, Gao Han walked to the sidelines again and drove all the celebrating players back to the court, indicating that they would continue to increase the pressure on Barcelona, ​​continue to put pressure on, and continue to strive for goals.

Next to him, Guardiola shook his head and seemed puzzled.

He was born in Barcelona and clearly knew the strength of this team, but he felt strange, why is this happening?

Yes, Barcelona did have physical problems. Playing four games in seven days, the Iron Man couldn't endure it, but it wasn't like they were so defeated, and they still conceded two goals in the first 12 minutes.

According to the data he got from Sergio Garcia, Barcelona's ball possession rate exceeded 70%, while Inter Milan only had 28.9%. The gap was very disparate.

The irony is that so far, Barcelona has not even had a shot on goal.

"Do you understand?" Gao Han noticed Guardiola's doubts and asked with a smile.

Guardiola smiled bitterly, "Only now do I really understand what you said, possession of the ball is only a means, not an end."

"That's right." Gao Han nodded, "Possession of the ball itself is neutral, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, but for me, if possession of the ball cannot be turned into an offensive threat, then I would rather not, I would even give up the ball. Give up the power.”

But when he heard this, Guardiola noticed a slight smile on the corner of Gao Han's mouth.

"The possession of the ball you don't want will be difficult for others to grab." Guardiola shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In this game, Inter Milan faced Barcelona, ​​the team he loved most in his life.

"Of course, how could I let others kill me using the method I'm best at?" Gao Han chuckled.

Having said this, Gao Han looked solemn, "Rijkaard made several serious mistakes in this game. First, poor physical fitness was a problem, but he did not adjust the team's tactics in time. It was still the same as before. Encouraging frontcourt players to perform individually will not work if they are severely lacking in physical fitness."

Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Messi all performed poorly in this game. They lacked coordination with each other and fought more individually. They wanted to break out when they got the ball and relied on their personal abilities to open up the ball. situation.

When they are full of physical energy, they are unstoppable, but their physical energy is severely exhausted and their technical movements are deformed. How much threat do they still have?

Only the head coach can take the blame for this!

"Rijkaard still lacks experience." Guardiola sighed.

"It's not just that." Gao Han smiled, "Generally speaking, teams that adopt a pass-and-control style of play are very taboo about losing the ball too close to their own goal, especially in their own half. This is Big taboo.”

Regarding this point, Guardiola has heard Gao Han say it before, so Gao Han has to play high position to press and press, so as to minimize the risk of conceding the ball in his own half.

Logically speaking, Rijkaard should also understand this, but Gao Han directly pressed hard after the start, forcing Barcelona to retreat. Coupled with the lack of physical fitness caused by continuous fighting, Barcelona could only be suppressed in half the court.

In this case, once Inter Milan successfully intercepts the ball, it can usually shoot directly within two passes.

This is why after the start, Barcelona had such a high ball possession rate but had no shots, while Inter Milan frequently got shooting opportunities and even scored two goals.

It can be said that in this case, the more Barcelona has the ball, the faster it will die.

Of course, there is no way to resolve it.

Rijkaard could have slowed down the tempo to ensure the success rate of passing and controlling, but it was obvious that he was taken away from the rhythm by Gao Han after the start, which directly caused the tempo of the game to soar, and he had not noticed it yet.

Perhaps, when Rijkaard notices this, he will consider slowing down the pace, but by then Gao Han should no longer adopt the tactics he used in the opening game.

"Of course, there is another problem that is not big or small, that is, our trident suppressed Barcelona's defense, forcing them to not be able to stay close to their midfield as usual, resulting in three There was a gap between the midfield and the defence, which was fatal."

When Gao Han said this, a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to have a winning chance.

It was obvious that from the beginning, Rijkaard was played by Gao Han and completely lost his ability to resist.

In this game, Gao Han taught Guardiola a vivid lesson.

"Inter Milan continues to maintain its strong offensive momentum."

"Veron moved the ball to the left with his big foot. Evra quickly took the ball forward and passed it to Cristiano Ronaldo."

"The Portuguese got the ball, cut inside decisively, and suddenly hit the goal!"

"Danger!"

"Valdes flew and saved the ball from the baseline."

"The shot came very suddenly and Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was quite threatening."

"Inter won a corner kick."

…

There was silence in the manager's office at Harrington training ground in London.

Mourinho and his assistants were watching the live TV on the wall.

More than 20 minutes have passed since Inter Milan stormed Barcelona, ​​but the Nerazzurri have not shown any signs of fatigue, nor have they shown any signs of suspending their offensive. This makes everyone confused and unable to understand.

What is even more puzzling is that Barcelona has not even had a shot so far.

This is simply unreasonable!

"His starting tactics in this game suppressed Barcelona to death, without any resistance." Villas-Boas was shocked.

He is Mourinho's assistant coach who is best at tactical analysis, but after watching Inter Milan's starting tactics for this game, especially the first twenty minutes of the game, he really had no other reaction besides shock. .

It is unbelievable that Barcelona, ​​the majestic champion of the Champions League and packed with superstars, was suppressed in such an embarrassing situation.

But it all just happened.

Excuses such as lack of physical fitness and poor condition cannot explain Barcelona's predicament at all. The only thing that is certain is that Rijkaard was completely defeated by the cold.

"I have long said that without Tenkat, Rijkaard would not be in trouble at all." Mourinho's eyes flashed with a sharp look.

The reason why he invited his assistants to watch the live broadcast of this game was to see if Gao Han could provide an effective way to restrain Barcelona.

Facts have proved that Gao Han did not disappoint him.

Just this opening tactic restrained Barcelona to death.

…

"Veron took a corner kick and passed it into the penalty area."

"Valdez made a very accurate judgment and struck decisively to knock the ball away."

"It didn't fly far and landed on the outside of the penalty area. Yaya Toure got the ball and passed it into the penalty area."

"Ibrahimovic volleyed directly!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"The third goal, in the 28th minute, Inter Milan scored the third goal of the game."

"Barcelona is utterly defeated!"

"The defending champion of the Champions League was scored three consecutive goals by Inter Milan in the Super Cup."

"It can be seen that after playing four consecutive games in the past seven days, Barcelona's physical energy consumption was very serious. They could not keep up with Inter Milan's rhythm throughout the game, which led to Barcelona's opening defeat."

"Three to zero, Inter Milan has basically secured the victory in advance."

…

"It's over! Barcelona is over!"

Mourinho patted his thigh hard, shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah, Inter Milan is too strong, especially the offensive ability of the front three, and they can't be defended at all."

"Fortunately, we didn't draw them."

"Who says it isn't?"

"But is there really no turning around?"

Mourinho shook his head, "The game has reached this point and the outcome has been decided. If Rijkaard does not want to lose worse, then he has only one way to go."
