Chapter 156 The Terrible Coercion of the European Champion
In the locker room before the game, this time Stan did not play Wang Leehom's music, but played Queen's "we`will`rock`you".
Translated as "We'll Shock You," Stan does expect his players to shake the world in the final.
"I have nothing to say about this game. The tactics are the same as last game. Now all we have to do is listen to this song," Stein said.
Most of the team members obeyed Stan's request and listened quietly. Nekonan snapped his fingers and shook his body to the beat.
"Okay, it's time to play, boys, shout "we`will`rock`you Barcelona" to me again."
"We`ll`rock`you Barcelona"

After the referee blew the opening whistle, Stan has been standing on the sidelines with his hands folded around his chest. Psychologically, when a person makes this action, it means that he is nervous and has a defensive attitude towards the outside world.
But Stan was really nervous at this time. Denmark in 1992 and Greece in 2004 created miracles that no one dared to imagine in the European Cup. "In football, miracles are possible, and they have indeed happened in history," Stein thought.
He expects some kind of miracle in this game too.
Stan still remembers the trembling hands of the old coach "Ferguson" captured by the on-site camera in the UEFA Champions League final in May. Now Stan himself feels the same way.
*****
After the kick-off, Messi passed back to Busquets in the middle, and then Barcelona began their unique pass and control style of play.
Someone once compared the football genre with the martial arts genre. I think it makes sense. For example, Bayern Munich's style of play is very similar to the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon.
But Juventus is a "bone-like palm". Juventus's style of play is very slow. When you compete with him, you will not realize it at first, but at a certain moment, you will suddenly find that you have been hit, and you don't know how.
So what is Barcelona?Barcelona is Tai Chi. The essence of Tai Chi is that it can transform the external force on the body into invisible, so that you have nowhere to use your strength.
The current Guangzhou Tianbao has this feeling. Although every player in the frontcourt is desperately running to grab the ball, the three of them "Busquets", "Xavi" and "Iniesta" control the ball very well, making it impossible for you to grab the ball.
After the opening 5 minutes, Guangzhou Tianbao's players didn't even touch the ball, while Barcelona's ball possession rate turned out to be 100%, which is a figure that cannot be more wonderful.
Nei Kenan, the midfielder of Guangzhou Tianbao, was a little angry. He thought that even if there was a foul, he would stop the ball, so he quickly stepped forward and put on Harvey who was holding the ball. But when Nei Kenan felt that he could touch Harvey immediately, Harvey had already passed the ball.
Guangzhou Tianbao's players are getting more and more desperate as they play. This is the feeling of many teams when they face Barcelona, and even a team of Real Madrid's level will have the feeling when they face Barcelona-that is, they can't grab it and can only run around behind the opponent's ass.
Finally, Prahimi made an attack. Under pressure, Thiago passed the ball a little too much and was intercepted by Kongka, which broke the embarrassment of Guangzhou Tianbao's zero ball possession rate.
Stan on the sidelines was a little helpless when he saw Barcelona start the invincible pass mode, but he kept applauding and cheering for his disciples. He knew that after the opening 10 minutes, the situation would gradually improve.
*****
If we use "playing Tai Chi" to describe Barcelona's defense, then most people will use four words to describe Barcelona's offense as "mercury pouring down the ground".
These four words were most commonly used to describe Arsenal in its heyday. At that time, "Pirres", "Wiltord", "Henry" and others could indeed play a quick-silver attack, but later with the decline of Arsenal and the arrival of "Dream 4" and "Dream 4" with Barcelona, now the four words "Quick Silver" are monopolized by Barcelona.
Stan on the sidelines knows that the team is very dangerous now. Barcelona is like this. They first use the pass to sneak past the opponent.
Barcelona's possession of the ball seems to be in the midfield, but it is actually advancing slowly. The players on the field may not have noticed it, but Stan on the sidelines can see it clearly.
He wanted to remind the players on the field, but his words suddenly stuck, "How to remind? The opponent is a player with super abilities in every position", Stan thought to himself, he saw the danger and wanted to remind, but he was powerless. This may be the reason why Guardiola's "Dream Army" has no solution in Europe.

When the first half reached 10 minutes, Nekonan took the initiative to come to the sidelines, which has never happened before.
"Stan, think of a way, this is not going to work," Nekonan said.
Stan thought to himself: "The coaches all over the world have not figured out a way, what do you ask me to do"?
"If you hold on for another 10 minutes, the Barcelona players are human and they will get tired," Stein said.
Nekonan shook his head, he was obviously not satisfied with Stan's answer, "Can we hold on for another 10 minutes"?
Stan patted Nekonan on the back, "Go ahead".
Nei Kenan was right. Guangzhou Tianbao did not resist for another 10 minutes. Barcelona scored a goal in 15 minutes of the game.
The ball happened suddenly. Harvey took the ball near the middle circle. He looked left and right. The last long pass was passed to the right side of the team, that is, the left side of Guangzhou Tianbao. The defender was "Jacob Sim" who played as a guest left back of Guangzhou Tianbao.
The reason why Xavi chose to pass the ball there is because he saw Messi activated, Xavi knew that Messi activated means that Messi found space, and all he had to do was give Messi the ball.
At the same time that Messi started, he squinted at two things - the position of the opponent's defensive player and the line of Harvey's pass. For a split second, Messi knew that there was no problem.
When Messi started, he was 10 meters behind Jacob Sim, but with his quick response and unrivaled speed, Messi quickly closed the gap of 10 meters, and he quickly wiped "Jacob Sim".
When Gabriel came to make up for it, Messi had already kicked and shot, and the ball drew an arc and entered the far corner of the goal, 1-0.
Harvey's precise pass, Messi's perfect breakthrough, a typical Barcelona-style goal, Guangzhou Tianbao's throw made the players feel angry, but there was nothing they could do about it. The team's defense was fine, and the opponent's "passing master" Xavi was able to deliver fatal "assists" in this situation. What can you do?
*****
Although losing the ball was bitter, it was also expected by Stan. The Guangzhou Tianbao midfielder re-kicked the ball, and Stan stretched out his fingers and kept spinning in the air.
Conca took the ball, he didn't have time to observe, and he didn't dare to pass the ball to the offensive players easily. Today he cherishes every possession of the ball, so he can only use the safest way-that is to pass back.
In this way, although Guangzhou Tianbao has possession of the ball, their ball cannot pass the half court. The situation is very passive for Guangzhou Tianbao.
At this time, the ball reached Brahimi’s feet, and when Brahimi took the ball, the small men in Barcelona did not dare to grab it easily. First, Brahimi was a defensive midfielder, and he held the ball very far back, so there was no threat. On the other hand, Brahimi’s figure was also very intimidating.
Li Qiao in the frontcourt hadn't got the ball since the start of the game. He kept waving at his midfielder in front of him in a hurry, but no one paid attention to him, because once Li Qiao couldn't hold the ball and the opponent took possession of the ball again, Guangzhou Tianbao's players would be afraid of that kind of dog-walking tactic.
But Prahimi has a strong relationship with Li Qiao. When he sees Li Qiao waving for the ball, he will give it. He believes in Li Qiao's ability.
Brahimi made a long pass, and the football flew towards Li Qiao. This mid-range pass was easy for Barcelona's defenders to defend. Busquets slowly leaned over, and he planned to grab the ball as soon as Li Qiao touched it.
Li Qiao also knew that the ball was not sudden, the pass time was too long, Barcelona's defenders had already surrounded him, and he had to surprise to win if he wanted to hold the ball.
Just when the ball was about to arrive, Busquets showed a smile. For him, such a ball was like doing basic training in "La Masia".
As far as Li Qiao could see, he had already seen "Busquets" who was about to move. At this moment, Li Qiao turned around and passed by. What's going on?Li Qiao doesn't want the ball yet?
No, Li Qiao's trick is to pass the ball, that is, the person and the ball pass together, but the person passes from the opponent's side, and the ball passes from the other side.
Li Qiao's action was very sudden. Busquets was putting all his eggs in one basket just now. He didn't expect his opponent to do this at all, so he didn't have time to react. Just like that, Li Qiao wiped Busquets and got the ball.
This turn of events shocked everyone in the audience, because it was so unexpected, especially Stan, who clenched his fists and thought, "Come on, Joe, go break old Puyol."
Busquets is the barrier of Barcelona's midfield. If you pass him, you will be the Barcelona captain "Puyol". When he was young, "Puyol" was very defensive, but in recent years, with the increase of injuries and age, Puyol has gradually lost his style. In the league, Puyol was once passed by "Di Maria", looking very embarrassed.
Li Qiao took two steps and was about to meet Puyol. Li Qiao knew that Puyol's speed was not good, so he decided to "bully" the old man. Li Qiao accelerated and rushed towards Puyol. He wanted to give Puyol an unforgettable pass like Di Maria.
