Chapter 697 It's a pity that Ibrahimovic is not here
The game came unknowingly, No. 40 minutes.
The score is still 0:0, and the latest data has been updated on the Internet. Barcelona's ball possession rate against Liverpool is as high as 80.00%!
Barcelona's possession rate is more than four times that of Liverpool!
This is simply the pinnacle of ball control!
However, if you see other data, some professional fans can find something wrong.
Barcelona's ball possession rate this season hit the peak of the Dream Three period. In the 2008-2009 season, Barcelona's average ball possession rate was 65.7%. In the last season, that is, the 2009-2010 season, the ball possession rate increased to 68.9%. Now in the 2010-2011 season, the ball possession rate reached its peak. 72.7%!
When playing against strong teams, the possession rate is definitely not as high as the average, so occasionally Barcelona will have a possession rate of 80.00%.
Therefore, in this game, Barcelona's 80.00% possession rate is exaggerated against Liverpool's 18.00% possession rate, but regardless of the status of the two parties, it is not that there are no teams in La Liga who have been played so badly by Barcelona.
Usually, when Barcelona occupies so much ball possession, the number of shots in the half is around seven to ten, and some of them can go to thirteen shots.
Barcelona's average number of shots per game this season is 16.4. In other words, under the overall dominance, Barcelona's total number of shots is almost twenty feet.
But now what?
The first half is almost over!
Barcelona shot only six times!And three of them were long shots!
Fans who have watched Barcelona play football know that Barcelona emphasizes cooperation when attacking, basically entering the opponent's penalty area to shoot, so that the chance of scoring is greater.
And now not only has the number of shots dropped, but it also includes three long-range shots. What does this mean?
Barcelona has possession of the ball, but it is completely difficult to enter Liverpool's penalty area to attack!Even Barcelona can't even control the ball calmly. Otherwise, with the patience of Barcelona players, there is no need to bombard the goal outside the penalty area. Pull to break down the opponent's defense.
These emperors who know football have to say in shock that Barcelona has nothing to do with Liverpool!
Of course, these football masters don't think Barcelona will lose, because Barcelona has the king of the ball, Messi!
…………
The fans understand these principles, but why don't the football commentators and guests on the TV station understand?
The shots are frequently shown on Guardiola instead of Levi, which has already explained some things from the side.You must know that on the surface, Guardiola is the dominant side. Whether it is running distance, ball possession rate, or number of shots, he has an overwhelming advantage over Liverpool.
They are all discussing how Guardiola will crack Levi's iron barrel formation.
The iron bucket formation has always been a problem in world football. To deal with such a problem, there are nothing more than three tricks-set balls, long shots, and personal breakthroughs.
These commentators and guests found that Barcelona was really powerless against the Iron Barrel, because their three axes were only 1.5 axes.
Why is it called a 1.5 axe?
1 The big ax is a personal breakthrough. In this regard, Barcelona not only has Messi who can break through a thousand, Villa and Pedro's running positions and breakthroughs are also quite good.
The other 0.5 ax is a set ball.
There are two main aspects of set kicks, corner kicks and free kicks, among which corner kicks are the easiest to get and the number of times they get is the most.It's a pity that there are only two tall men in Barcelona - Pique and Bratsk, the former is 192cm, the latter is 189cm, but compared to Pique, Bratsk's header ability is far worse, after all, Bratsk is not Like Pique, you have to rely on headers to gain a foothold.
Free kicks are divided into direct free kicks and free kick assists. Needless to say, the latter is similar to the role of a corner kick.The former Barcelona has free kick players like Messi and Harvey, and this is why it is only 0.5.Because in terms of header attack from set kicks, Barcelona is very thin and can easily be defended by the opponent.
In terms of long-range shooting, Barcelona does not have an excellent heavy gunner, even Messi is not famous for long-range shooting.
The Spanish commentator sighed: "Guardiola must have scolded Russell to death in his heart. If he hadn't sold Ibrahimovic at a low price, Guardiola would not be so passive now!"
Not to mention, this commentator really hit the heart of Guardiola.
He has nothing on the surface, but in his heart he is already angrily cursing the new chairman Russell for ruining the team.
If Ibrahimovic is there, he really doesn't have to be so passive now, let alone put all the pressure on Messi.
