Iniesta possesses the ball in the frontcourt.

Facing Barack's press, Barcelona's midfielder skillfully controlled the ball while observing his teammates' running position.

Harvey is on his right.

Pedro is on the left.

Messi tried to get close to the reception.

Iniesta made a move to pass the ball to Pedro, turned around and was about to break through, Milner pressed from the side.

In desperation, Iniesta chose to turn around again, and while moving sideways, he suddenly knocked the ball with his heel.

Harvey stepped forward with understanding. He did not stop the ball and directly pushed the football.

The football reached Messi's feet.

Facing the siege of Sendros and Quelial, Messi spiked the ball continuously with his left foot, suddenly thrust the ball with his left foot, lifting his foot and shooting with a long shot.

Quelial was prepared for this, so he stretched out his foot to block it, the football bounced up and jumped out of the baseline, Barcelona's corner kick.

...

"When Messi can only use long shots to find goals, you can understand how successful Aston Villa's defense is today." He Wei praised.

In fact, during the halftime break, commentators from all countries were analyzing and studying Aston Villa's successful defense against Barcelona today.

The general view is that Fang Jue's formation and tactics are very successful. Aston Villa's defensive formation greatly compresses the offensive space in the mid and backcourts.

Former England international and gold medal commentator Leinker gave the time and analysis from a professional perspective. He believes that Aston Villa's defensive compression is diversified and can be decomposed into front-back compression and left-right compression.

The front and back compression means that when Aston Villa faces Barcelona's front-line attack in the middle, the back line does not blindly retreat, and the forward line also pays great attention to the pincer attacks when turning around, which makes Barcelona players often face the situation of front and back blocking and pursuing soldiers behind.

In this way, there will be no room for fast players such as Pedro and Messi to break forward.

This is the case with this successful defense. Whether it is Iniesta, Xavi or Messi, even if they can master the ball and play the exquisite cooperation of passing the ball from the gap, as long as the player gets the ball, they will definitely face the situation of double-teaming in front of the pursuers behind.

There is also compression left and right. When defending with all your strength, Fang Jue will ask the team to form a 451 formation. Bale and Shevchenko will return to the left and right sides respectively to help the team fight in the backcourt. The speed and physical advantages of these two people also completed the assisted defense tasks against Milner and Quelial.

This also limits the space for two sides in Barcelona to enter the front.

"Aston Villa's compression defense is very successful. Barcelona's previous long pass to the small diagonal line on both ribs and using the speed of the two full-backs to break through was greatly restricted in this game." Zhang Lu said, "Even if Mascherano was replaced, this allowed Abidal and Alves to be liberated and could be pushed up to attack, but the effect was not very big."

Guardiola frowned on the sidelines, and Aston Villa's defensive toughness gave him a headache.

Aston Villa's formation when defending locally is usually dominated by three players, especially against Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and others, which can be said to have reached the extreme defense.

There are pressing and blocking, and it can quickly organize and effectively combine the composite siege with different divisions of labor and different functions in a very short period of time.

This is a very resilient defense.

It is precisely based on this flexible, changing defensive formation and formation that Aston Villa's defensive level has been implemented very well!

Guardiola turned his head and looked at Fang Jue in Aston Villa's coaching seat. After not seeing each other for two years, this guy has become even more powerful.

Guardiola even had the illusion that he was in a scheming coach with a combination of German football's iron discipline and Italian football's chain defense and superb tactical literacy.

...

"Barcelona's corner kick," said David Zamora. "The corner kick is a rare opportunity for Barcelona, ​​which has been unable to start the situation for a long time."

"Barcelona should pay attention to defending Aston Villa's counterattack." Dolores reminded.

He saw Pique and Mascherano come up to participate in the corner kick attack. If Aston Villa makes a counterattack, Barcelona will basically stop.

Fang Jue glanced at him and saw Pique and Mascherano coming up to participate in the corner kick attack, with Abidal, Alves and Xavi staying behind to defend.

This is also the basic routine of defending the opponent's counterattack in corner kick attacks. Two fast full-backs and a midfielder stay in the half-court defense.

However, if it were Fang Jue, he would choose to let Mascherano stay behind and let Xavi go up and participate in the offensive.

Obviously, Guardiola asked Xavi to stay behind, and the defense was less meaningful. More importantly, after cutting off Aston Villa's counterattack, Xavi will instigate the attack and attack Aston Villa's counterattack.

Fang Jue glanced at Guardiola, and it was hard for this old acquaintance to be good at defense, but also had to always think about attacking.

Iniesta took the corner kick.

It did not pose any threat to Aston Villa's goal. Pique wanted to compete for the top, but the tall and powerful Sendros used his height and excellent heading ability to push the ball out first.

The football was obtained by Clement, and he withstood Busquets' counter-attack, controlled the ball under his feet, and then swept the football to Barak sideways.

...

Barack directly launched a long pass, and Aston Villa launched a quick counterattack.

Aston Villa's two counterattacks were all the time after hitting Alves.

This time, Alves did not push up, and Aston Villa's counterattack was not able to be completed.

Bale dribbled the ball, and he was entangled by Alves.

Bale passed the ball to Ronaldo who came to pick up.

Abidal predicted in advance and stabbed the ball first, and the football was stabbed away.

Harvey quickly approached and snatched the football away.

Barcelona immediately changed from defense to offense.

Xavi directly passed the ball to Iniesta in front.

Iniesta did not stop the ball and passed the ball with the opportunity.

"Beautiful!" The commentator's seat was full of praise. Although Barcelona has never been able to score, this does not conceal the exquisite skills of Barcelona players.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Before the attack was surrounded and contained near the penalty area, Barcelona's attack was still relatively beautiful... However, it was useless.

Messi got the ball, and he received the ball with his back to the offensive direction.

Clement firmly stuck in the position behind him, preventing Messi from turning around.

However, Messi unexpectedly brought the ball over while receiving the ball, and Messi quickly turned around.

Although he was a little staggering, Messi leaned forward and stabilized his center of gravity, and still successfully passed.

Clement did not expect Messi to be able to complete such an action under such circumstances.

...

However, it is not enough to want to live Clement.

Clement moved his long legs and caught up with Messi. He seized an opportunity. He slipped the ball with a beautiful sideways and shoveled it out. Messi was also knocked to the ground and the two fell together.

Barcelona fans burst into huge boos, thinking it was a foul.

Aston Villa fans cheered and cheered Clement's successful defense.

The referee Kaushoi did not blow the whistle. His position was good. It was clear that Clement tackled the football first, and this was not a foul.

After the football was tackled, Aston Villa did a very good job of protecting the second point. Desler grabbed the football and passed it directly to Barack behind him.

The latter quickly took the ball.

Shevchenko took the ball on the right.

Amid the booing of Barcelona fans and the cheers of Aston Villa fans, Aston Villa's counterattack came again.

The Ukrainian veteran dribbled the ball and rushed in, Pedro was chasing back, and Xavi intercepted in front.

As they approached Harvey and the two were about to get in contact, Shevchenko suddenly stopped suddenly and passed the football horizontally.

After completing the pass, Barack got the ball with a high speed.

However, when Pedro, who was returning to defense, touched the ball while Shevchenko was passing the ball, and the football was bounced.

This caused difficulties for Barack to stop the ball. By the time he stopped the ball, Busquets had posted it.

At the same time, in front, Mascherano also surrounded him.

...

"Beautiful! Barcelona's defense this time is very good, and this is what it means to replace Mascherano!" Dolores praised.

Faced with this situation of being double-teamed from the front and back, the German veteran was not panicked. He did not blindly shoot the ball, but controlled the football and observed his teammates' running position.

Then, Barack made a move to break through from the left, but he secretly pushed the football out between Mascherano's legs.

Ronaldo received the football, and the Brazilian pulled the ball and turned around and started to speed up.

Pique hurriedly intercepted.

Ronaldo continued to ride bicycles and made a move to break through, but suddenly passed the football diagonally.

Bale, who had been sprinting, arrived, he inserted from the back row at high speed, and successfully counterattacked and he received the ball!

"Bell! He's in!"

"God! Aston Villa's counterattack is done again!"

"It's a one-on-one!" commentators from all over the world exclaimed.

Amid the huge noise, Bale faced Valdes who was attacking, and he chose to rub his left foot and shoot.

The football drew an arc and flew over Valdes' left hand.

Valdes' left hand seemed to have touched the football.

When Valdes fell backward, he turned his head and looked behind him. He longed to see the football being saved by himself.

However, Valdes only barely touched the football, which did not completely change the trend of the football flying forward. The football rose up and continued to fly, and finally almost stuck to the lower edge of the crossbar and hung it into the ball net.

Three to zero!

The huge new Wembley Stadium, as this arc screwed into the ball net, bursting out loud...
Chapter completed!
