Chapter 531 Barcelona is over!(1/2)
With a goal lead at the opening game, Inter Milan not only did not retreat, but instead took advantage of the victory and pursued it further.
Yaya Toure performed very actively in the midfield and frontcourt. His first goal just now came from his midfield steal. After that, he expanded his coverage and frequently put pressure on Barcelona.
He played four consecutive games in seven days. Such a high-intensity devil schedule caused serious problems in Barcelona's upper and lower physical fitness.
But Inter Milan was raising his strength and carefully preparing for this Super Cup, especially strengthening the steals and pressure on Barcelona's midfield, which allowed Barcelona to hold the ball, but made frequent passes and catch mistakes.
On the other hand, the Nerazzurri took advantage of Barcelona's pass-and-receive mistakes to counterattack frequently.
What's even more terrible is that Gao Han did not retreat like other teams, but decisively pushed the defensive line to Barcelona's halftime, shortening the counterattack distance, and greatly increasing Inter Milan's counterattack threat.
It was reflected on the court that Barcelona firmly controlled the ball, but they could not pass the center line. Instead, they made frequent mistakes and were repeatedly threatened and counterattacked by Inter Milan, which could even be said to be more threatening than the other.
Although there is a large gap behind Inter Milan, Barcelona has never found an effective way to pass the midfield.
Ronaldinho, Messi and Etoho tried to break through the ball many times, but none of them were able to achieve results.
Xavi and Deco also kept trying to make deep passes, but it was difficult to pass the front trident, which made Barcelona passive in the scene.
Finally, when the game reached the twelfth minute, Inter Milan once again fought back.
After intercepting the ball in the middle and backcourt, Cambiaso made a long pass to find Adriano. The Brazilian forward directly stopped the ball to the right. After Macon inserted it at high speed, he passed the ball with a diagonal pass without waiting for the Barcelona defensive player to get in place, and then hanged the ball into the penalty area and landed to the back point.
The entire goal routine was exactly the same as when he made the second attack before. The only difference was that Cristiano Ronaldo, who inserted the ball in the back, raised the ball high, but this time, the Portuguese quickly threw away Zambrota, inserted the back point diagonally, and grabbed Tulam, and pushed the ball into Valdes' goal from close range.
Two to zero!
The entire Louis II Stadium has completely become a celebration stage for Inter Milan.
All the players rushed to the sidelines and celebrated the team's second goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high and showed his amazing bounce, and the header afterwards was even more right, making Valdes not even able to react.
Barcelona's central defender Toulam failed to return to defense in time, becoming the best foil for the Portuguese to score goals.
…………

"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.
It took only about ten minutes, but I scored two goals in a row, and the game can basically determine the trend.
But this is obviously far from enough.
So, Gao Han walked to the sidelines again and rushed all the players who celebrated back to the stadium, signaling them to continue to increase the pressure on Barcelona, continue to put pressure, and continue to strive for goals.
Next to him, Guardiola shook his head and seemed puzzled.
He was born in Barcelona and knew the strength of this team clearly, but he felt very strange, why is this happening?
Yes, Barcelona's physical fitness is indeed problematic. Even the Iron Man can't stand it if he plays four games in seven days, but he won't be defeated like a mountain, and he lost two goals in the first twelve minutes.
According to the data he obtained from Sergio Garcia, Barcelona's possession rate exceeded 70%, while Inter Milan was even only 28.9%, which was a huge gap.
But ironically, so far, Barcelona has not even shot a shot.
"Did you understand?" Gao Han noticed Guardiola's doubts and asked with a smile.
Guardiola smiled bitterly, "I only truly realize now that what you said is that controlling the ball is just a means, not an end."
"That's right." Gao Han nodded, "The ball control itself is neutral, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, but for me, if the ball control cannot be transferred to the offensive threat, then I would rather not, and I'm even willing to give up the ball control."
But when he heard this, Guardiola noticed that a smile appeared on Gao Han's mouth.
"You don't want the ball possession, and others are afraid it's hard to grab it." Guardiola shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In this game, Inter Milan faced Barcelona, the team he loved the most in his life.
"Of course, how could I let others kill me in the way I am best at?" Gao Han laughed.
Speaking of this, Gao Han looked solemn, "Rijkaard made several serious mistakes in this game. First, physical fitness is a problem, but he did not adjust the team's tactics in time. He still encouraged frontcourt players to perform individually, which is not feasible if they are seriously inadequate in physical fitness."
Ronaldinho, Etoo and Messi were not performing well in this game. They lacked cooperation with each other and were more of a single fight. They wanted to break through when they got the ball and rely on their personal abilities to open up the situation.
When they are physically abundant, they are unstoppable, but their physical energy is consumed severely and their technical movements are deformed. How many threats do they have?
The head coach can only take the blame!
"Rijkaard is still inexperienced," sighed Guardiola.
"It's not just this." Gao Han smiled, "Generally speaking, teams that adopt the pass-and-control style are very taboo, that is, they concede the ball too close to their goal, especially in the half-time of their own. This is a big taboo."
Guardiola had heard Gao Han say about this before, so Gao Han had to press and press at the high position, so that he could minimize the risk of losing a goal in his half.
Logically speaking, Rijcard should also understand this, but Gao Han directly pressed and pressed heavily after the opening, forcing Barcelona to retreat. In addition, the continuous battles resulted in lack of physical fitness, so Barcelona could only be suppressed in the half.
In this case, once Inter Milan successfully intercepts the ball, it can usually directly form a shot within the pass of both feet.
This is why after the start, Barcelona had such a high ball possession rate but no shots, while Inter Milan frequently got shots and scored two goals.
It can be said that in this case, the more Barcelona possesses the ball, the faster they die.
Of course, it is not impossible to resolve it.
Rijkald could have slowed down the rhythm and ensured the success rate of pass control, but it was obvious that he was led away by Gao Han after the game, which directly made the rhythm of the game soar, and he had not noticed it yet.
Perhaps, when Rijkald notices this, he will consider slowing down the pace, but Gao Han should not adopt the opening tactics again.
"Of course, there is another question of whether it is big or small, that is, our trident suppressed Barcelona's defense line, forcing them to get close to their midfield as usual, resulting in a gap between the three midfielders and the defense line, which is very fatal."
When Gao Han said this, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he was sure to win.
It is obvious that from the beginning, Rijkald was played with by Gao Han and completely lost his ability to resist.
In this game, Gao Han gave Guardiola a vivid lesson.
…………
…………
"Inter Milan continues to maintain a strong offensive posture."
"Peron's big foot moved the ball to the left, and Evra quickly dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Cristiano Ronaldo."
"The Portuguese took the ball, cut decisively, and suddenly shot!"
"Danger!"
"Valdes flew to save the ball from the bottom line."
"This shot came very suddenly, and Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was quite threatening."
"Inter Milan won a corner."
...
In the head coach's office at Harrington training ground in London, there was a silence.
Mourinho and his assistants were staring at the live TV broadcast on the wall.
More than twenty minutes have passed since Inter Milan attacked Barcelona, but the Blue and Black Legion has not shown any fatigue, nor any sign of suspending the offensive, which makes everyone unable to understand or understand.
What is even more puzzling is that Barcelona has not even shot in a single shot so far.
This is simply unreasonable!
"His tactics in this game suppressed Barcelona tightly and had no power to resist." Boas was shocked.
He is Mourinho's assistant coach who is best at tactical analysis. But after watching Inter Milan's tactics in this game, especially in the first twenty minutes of the game, he had no other reaction except shocking.
It is really unbelievable that Barcelona, who is the champion of the Champions League and has become so superstar, was suppressed so embarrassingly.
But all this happened.
Excuses such as not continuing physical fitness and poor condition cannot explain Barcelona's predicament. The only thing that is certain is that Rijcard was completely defeated by Gao Han.
"I have said a long time ago that without Tencart, Rijkald is not enough to cause trouble." Mourinho's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
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.
As it turned out, Gao Han did not disappoint him.
With this tactic move in the opening game, Barcelona was restrained tightly.
...
"Beron took a corner kick and passed it to the penalty area."
"Valdes made a very accurate judgment and attacked decisively, knocking the ball away."
"Didn't fly far, land outside the penalty area, Yaya Toure got the ball and then passed the penalty area."
"Ibrahimovic shot directly in the air!"
"The ball is in!!!!"
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"The third goal, the 28th minute, Inter Milan scored the third goal of the game."
To be continued...
