Chapter 329 The Battle of Focus
Gao Bo's words were distorted out of shape immediately after passing through the mouth of the media.
Almost everyone now agrees that Gao Bo has a soft spot for Barcelona's football philosophy, and he is a loyal fan of Guardiola.His Atletico Madrid is imitating the way Barcelona play.
The Catalan media were very happy. They even believed that Atletico Madrid's two-game winning streak was related to Atletico Madrid's learning from Barcelona.
Even if they think that what Atletico Madrid has learned is only superficial, but this superficiality has benefited Atletico Madrid endlessly.
The Barcelona fans were also very excited when they mentioned this matter. Of course, they did not forget to mock the Madrid people.
Barcelona has reached its peak in terms of performance in recent years, especially when they won six championships in the previous season, which made their fans feel superior.
For a while, tike-taka became the most popular topic in football, and various head coaches are also sparing no effort to study Barcelona's way of playing football.
Barcelona players also think highly of themselves. They think they are the best team in the world, so no matter who they are, isn't it normal to imitate them?
On the way to Madrid, the Barcelona players discussed the topic of Atletico Madrid.
"They want to use our tactics to beat us?" Pique has always been very active in the team, and he said with an exaggerated expression: "Ha, is this possible?"
Most of the players laughed.
In fact, what Pique said was nothing funny, but the players all laughed along with them. This may explain the current atmosphere in the Barcelona team.
Despite an unexpected loss in the second round, the Barcelona players were not discouraged.
It is not that Barcelona has not lost in these years, but in the end after the end of the season, the champion is Barcelona!
Now Barcelona are at the top, and their age composition is reasonable, Xavi is at the top, Iniesta is rising, and Messi is only 23 years old.
The core players of this team are still young, and they look like they can continue to dominate Spanish football for a long time.
Even if Mourinho came to take charge of Real Madrid, so what?
At this time, the Barcelona players have already developed a champion temperament. Under the water of the championship, they are confident that no matter what opponent they encounter, Barcelona can also defeat them.
If Atletico Madrid shrinks their defense and responds to this game by placing the bus and then kicking a counterattack, Barcelona may still encounter some trouble at the Calderon Stadium. In the past few seasons, Barcelona encountered such defensive counterattacks in that away game.
But if Atlético want to play possession against Barcelona, that's exactly what the Barcelona players want.
They will not be afraid of the opponent's pressure. Even Real Madrid has not dared to press out against Barcelona in the past two years, let alone Atletico Madrid.
So when the players realized Gao Bo's "overreaching" through the media, the Barcelona players would only find it funny.
Did this Chinese person think that if he took a Europa League cup, his tail would go up to the sky?
Guardiola is a little worried about the team's underestimation of the enemy.After he watched Luton's game video, Guardiola can be sure that Gao Bo is definitely not a coach of the same type as him.
Guardiola first has his own understanding of football, and then arranges the team's tactics according to a certain philosophy he believes in.
People like Gao Bo are different!
In Luton, a small team, Guardiola saw a lot.
Sometimes they will defend and counterattack, sometimes they will overwhelm the assists, and they can also use the tactics of three midfielders and three forwards. In extreme cases, Luton even played 541!
Gao Bo is a utilitarian person - as long as he can win the game, he will use any tactics!
Gao Bo will never compete with Barcelona for possession of the ball in this game! ! !
Guardiola is sure of that.
Barcelona came to Madrid the day before the game. After checking into the hotel, Guardiola immediately called the players together!
In a conference room at the hotel, Guardiola looks at the Barcelona players seated on either side.
"I know that there are a lot of interesting news in the media these days, and the news puts everyone in a good mood."
Guardiola said.
"However, we still have to take a look at the situation of our opponents. The first thing we need to understand is Gao Bo!!!"
"This is the Chinese!! He led a small team like Luton to win the FA Cup and the Europa League at the same time! It's really amazing, isn't it?"
Guardiola pointed to a photo of Gao Bo in a suit and leather shoes directing the game on the conference room projector.
The Barcelona players saw Atletico Madrid's young head coach at a glance. This Chinese has frequently appeared in the Spanish media these days.
However, for Gao Bo's previous resume, the Barcelona players still know the general situation, but they don't know much about the specific situation.
So what if Luton won the Europa League?
Barcelona didn't take the Europa League seriously.
"I think you must think that Gao Bo brought technical football to Luton, and they play football in England that is similar to Atletico Madrid."
Guardiola pointed two fingers at his head: "We are too arrogant!! Guys!!!"
"We are too arrogant!!"
Guardiola emphasized it again.
"Even if the opponent really plays the same football as us, why do we think we will win?"
"Where is the logic of our winning? No imitator can beat us?!"
"It's football!! Guys!!"
Guardiola slapped the table.
"If we still have such thoughts in our minds, then we will definitely lose, just like in the past two or three years, how difficult it is to play in this away game, I believe many of you are very clear!!"
The Barcelona players looked at Guardiola silently. Now that Guardiola said this, they immediately understood where their mistakes were.
Who said that Atletico Madrid will definitely lose as a copycat?
There are too many factors that affect a football game. Barcelona's players are all top stars, so they quickly understood.They have been fed a lot of ecstasy soup by the media before.
"And Atlético Madrid are not necessarily our imitators!"
Guardiola clicked on his laptop and the projection screen began to show footage of Luton's games from last season, especially against some big teams.
"This is what Luton looked like when he was playing on the counter-attack."
"This is when they press the attack!"
"Can you spot us in the style of this team?"
Guardiola waited until the players had finished watching, then spoke.
"There is no doubt, this is also the work of this coach Gao Bo! This gentleman can definitely let his team build a concrete defense line in front of the goal when necessary!!"
"He reminds me of that gentleman from Real Madrid!"
Guardiola said.
The players in Barcelona are also stunned.
This Gao Bo is probably also a representative of utilitarian football.
Gao Bo doesn't think he is utilitarian - because the essence of competitive football is not to pursue victory!
The match day is coming soon, and the atmosphere at the Calderon Stadium is more enthusiastic than usual.
Because today's opponent is Barcelona!
As we all know, Barcelona and Real Madrid are sworn enemies, but the relationship between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, another team in the city of Madrid, is not much better.
The bad relationship between Madrid and Catalonia has put Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the same situation!
When the players on both sides were warming up, Barcelona could clearly feel the hostility of the Madrid people.
All kinds of humiliating slogans and flags for Barcelona were displayed when the Barcelona players were warming up.
Even if the stands were more than ten meters away from the stadium, the Barcelona players could still hear the crazy insults from the Atlético Madrid fans and the middle finger raised to them by the whole stand.
Barcelona's players are used to this kind of scene. If Atletico Madrid goes to the Nou Camp, they will be treated like this.
Let's be with each other.
Several of Atletico Madrid's new players were surprised by this scene. When they were at home in the first round of the league, they never saw Atletico Madrid fans so crazy.
"I didn't expect the atmosphere in the Spanish stands to be so crazy." Kanter looked at the almost distorted faces of the fans in the opposite stand and said with emotion.
"You haven't seen what it looked like in the Madrid derby!"
Raul Garcia patted Kanter on the shoulder and said.
For Atletico Madrid, their biggest enemy is still Real Madrid.
Players from both sides are warming up on the court, and the eyes of all parties have also gathered at the Calderon Stadium.
Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona!
In the 2010-2011 season, a focus battle in the third round of the Spanish Football League!
About to start!
