319 CHAPTER 352 - Toward the king of kings (3)

The most important keyword in modern football is press.

As such, decompression is considered the most necessary skill for the athlete, and the strong team has excellent decompression ability on average.

As a result, no significant pressure can produce a satisfactory benefit against the strong team.

That's why three sides appeared.

It is a tactic of three players making a tripod and taking the ball from the outside to the inside.

But that alone couldn't dominate modern football.

The better your tactics, the better your technique.

As such tactics emerged, more and more demands were placed on football players.

Decompression has become more important, and players have been trained to withstand such pressure.

Typical examples are Iniesta and David Silva.

Basically, the Spanish players with good footings were generally good at decompression, and the three-sided pressure didn't work as well.

That's how the four sides appeared.

When an opponent has a ball, it is a tactic of grabbing the ball from all sides.

If you do, you will lose the ball, even if you are a good player.

For example, even if you do not lose, you will not be able to play the game you want, and you will not be able to get behind the ball.

However, the four-sided press wasn't a team that uses the tactics so far, due to the fact that the players consume too much health.

For example, if you have a player who is good at decompressing your opponent's team.

So many tactics were used against the strong team.

There's no good strategy to tie the feet of the express crack.

But there was a monster that did not work.

[Won Woo-young, aren't you a whole chew player if you're under pressure?]

[In other words, nagging. That's why Barcelona has prepared this kind of tactic. Even if you do that, you will be able to stop Woo Young.]

6-sided press.

It was in order to stop Woo Young that Barcelona took such extreme tactics.

[In modern football, which team is better at pressure, which team is better off, is the key. From that point of view, the weapons that Barcelona has prepared look good. It wasn't just rumors like that.]

[I agree. I think I really prepared.]

Manchester United manager Ferguson had attempted to steal Woo-young's ball with six players, but this was the first time the tactics had been systematically formulated.

It was possible because the tacticians, managers and coaches who challenged Woo Ho Young faced it and worked hard for a few days.

'If you follow the training, you can stop enough.'

Tito Villanova witnessed the possibility inside.

If only Woo Young was stopped, the rest of the players could easily play.

'They are great, but they're still too young to deal with us.'

Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, David Silva, Fellaini, Company and other prospects were not yet up.

If you're looking for a very lack of experience, you have to win.

But it wasn't just comfortable.

As a Barcelona coach, borrowing outside power was like losing pride.

So Villanova turned away.

My personal honor as a director did not care much.

What mattered to him now was the team.

If you succeed, you'll get a trophy.

You can lift the glory that others cannot achieve.

But it was true that worries preceded expectations.

What is your friend Woo Woo-young?

Players can quickly figure out how to respond over time, even as new tactics emerge.

Moreover, the opponent was not only Woo-young.

Tactical genius Guardiola was always on his side.

[I think the most important thing is 'time'. Woo-young is a genius of the century. In fact, no matter what tactic you bring, you have the power to break it down with your skills.]

[right. It is known that Woo-young takes 10 minutes for a short time and 30 minutes for a long time to grasp tactics. For Barcelona, ​​we have to see the game in it.]

Ho-young had already been analyzing Barcelona's tactics.

'Four side pressure. It's a tactic that is the basis of gegen pressing.

Gegen Pressing.

It was an innovative tactic that should have been introduced by director Jürgen Klopp in the near future.

But the future has changed.

Beyond four-sided press, the tactic of six-sided press has already begun to be organized, and even appeared on the big stage of the Champions League final.

The development of tactics was accelerating because of Woo-young's existence.

Haeyoung was experienced with at least two or three and as many as five or six, but this was rare.

'It's definitely more organized than Manchester's pressure.'

If the pressure that Ferguson had prepared at the time was urgent, it was a more refined tactic.

Quality press.

The fact that each player who puts pressure on it is world class has made it even more busy.

Since one person had to play two or more roles, it was only possible for players with a good understanding of positioning.

[Look at the third line of Barcelona. Xabi, Fabregas, Busquets, Piqué, Mascherano and Puyol are moving in one body. It's a video even if you don't know how much training you did for today's game.

The tactical comprehension, one by one, laid the foundation for efficient six-sided pressure, preoccupying as many points as possible.

[Ball flowing into the midfield. Alas! Fellaini cut it off. The ball goes right to Iniesta.]

[Iniesta, looking directly at Woo Young. Woo Ho Young comes down looking for empty space!]

Manchester City played as usual.

Ho Young, who was hanging from the front, suddenly descended to the second line, picking the ball and deploying the attack.

Roh Young's quickness and field grasp was also a tactic that could not be prevented.

By the way.

[······ Oh!]

Woo Woo-young! I need to be careful !!]

An incredible scene unfolded at the moment.

As soon as the ball had left Iniesta's feet, six players waiting in the vicinity ran to one spot at a time.

That point was the destination of the revival.

Fuzzy!

[Buskets put his shoulders first!]

[I've caught up with Puyol!]

Busquets first fought before Ho Young, who arrived first, received the ball.

Puyol, who played in the right full-back, came in from the other side and joined in a struggle.

It was to buy time before Ho Young played with the ball.

This was Barcelona's tactics.

Six players move in teams, dominate as many zones as possible, wait at key points, and kill space before passing to Woo.

Busquets bounced back from Hoyoung's fight, but later gained more time as Javier Mascherano caught up.

[That's why Mascherano, who had played as a central defender with Piqué, was still on the third line!]

Javier Mascherano, aka "Eraser."

Despite his struggle, he was great, but in just one second, it was erased by Ho Young.

But Piqué arrived in the meantime, gaining more time as he put his arm in.

In the meantime, Xabi caught the ball.

Ho-young, who arrived shortly, put his foot in, but in vain.

Even if he had world-class tackle skills, Xabi's decompression ability was also superlative, so he couldn't get the ball out easily.

Shortly after, Xavi secured the ball, exchanging a pass with Fabregas, which was next to him.

It was the result of a tough response after learning all of Manchester City's frequently used attack patterns.

'do!'

'Yes, this is it!'

'Okay, I see a possibility.'

There was a thrilling thrill to Barcelona.

La Liga doesn't know how long he has been training to win the Champions League since the championship is almost confirmed.

There was no guarantee that he would meet Man City, but today he has been training hard for two months to realize this tactic.

If the tactics were to beat Man City, I was confident that I could win anyone.

Those hard times were moments that turned into rewarding days.

[Manchester City is getting stuffy. It's still early in the game but certainly Barcelona looks good.]

[I do not know. Can Barcelona continue to tie Woo Young's feet? Woo Ho-young is not the person who will continue to be subjected to the same strategy.]

The commentator expected so.

Woo-young was a very good player.

But the first nine minutes.

It was about Barcelona who failed to attack and gave Man City the ball.

[The ball flows to Iniesta, and it goes to David Silva.]

[Attack of Alexis Sanchez and David Villa. David Silva pulls the ball backwards. Fellaini safely catches the ball.]

[Looks like you've changed your attack deployment in fear of losing your pass.]

[right. As long as your opponent occupies space, it's better to secure the ball through the rear buildup, rather than connecting it all at once with Woo Woo Young.]

Guardiola's instructions.

Although it was a temporary measure, it would have been much better than to let go.

[Ear Fellani looks straight ahead. I give it to Iniesta shortly.]

Moments Iniesta's head turned forward.

At the same time his eyes glowed, and momentarily his ankle turned.

A kill pass that stabs at the front space behind the line rather than two lines.

Piqué and Mascherano were attacking aimed at raising the line.

[Woo Woo-young runs toward the back space!]

[Uh, uh! The moment you said !!]

Percussion!

Xavi Hernandez.

The ball stopped at his feet.

[Sabi Hernandez's sliding tackle! Barely block the pass of Iniesta!]

[Wow, cut that out over there. It is a great view indeed. Xavi Hernandez is thoroughly reading Iniesta's pass.]

[I can. How many years have you been together? Why not this? The only person who calls Iniesta as a nickname is Xabi.]

Xabi Hernandez ranks first in vision.

As Iniesta's play, Manchester City's "waist," was seen, the flow of the game leaned toward Barcelona.

Soon after, Xabi attacked, passing a pass with Fabregas, who was waiting nearby.

Counterattack at a time.

[Barcelona is attacking on a team basis. 6 people to keep the formation and to help the decompression of the carrier.]

Barcelona's hexagonal flight wasn't just used to press.

When attacking, the players around him joined in order to help decompress.

From the front, the hexagonal squadron of Messi-Villa-Sánchez-Fabregas-Sabi-Busketz was active, freeing the three-sided pressure pursued by Manchester City.

It was a very sophisticated strategy.

Unfortunately, Messi's shot missed the goal, but it certainly did.

[I can't say it's very advantageous, but Barcelona still has a good flow. I'm looking forward to seeing what Manchester City will do.]

Bench in Manchester City.

Not surprisingly, Guardiola called Woo Woo-young wearing the captain's armband.

It was to inform the players of the new countermeasures.

"Change your plan from now until the end of the first half."

"Okay."

What did you say at a time, Ho-young nodded and turned around.

Guardiola touched such a good shoulder and opened his mouth.

"Do not flock. Don't think you are alone. "

Cic.

Hoyoung walked over the pitch with a dim smile.

Then I closed my eyes.

'I'm alone now.'

11 years of soccer experience.

A wonderful one-man show that saved your team from the crisis every moment of the crisis.

I was going to show it from now on.

However, it is accompanied by side effects.

The biggest problem was the knee, too.

No matter how strong your knees are, you'll have to be shocked to play this amazing game.

'It's okay though.'

How to know your physical condition best.

Moreover, it wasn't the knee that I had cherished so far to use it.

The body was also beyond the limits of man, so there was nothing to worry.

'Let's go to full power in just 20 minutes.'

Ho-young descended to the midfield.

The intention was to turn the game upside down.
