Chapter 931 Valverde's helplessness
In the semi-finals of the Champions League, everyone is looking forward to the heat of the second half.
Manchester City VS Barcelona, no matter from which aspect, the collision between the two sides has different meanings.
One of the most anticipated is undoubtedly the duel between De Bruyne and Yi Le.
These are the two major midfielders who are given high hopes by everyone at this stage!
Even Yi Le was vaguely looking forward to it.
Although the two had pictures in the Premier League, the situation at the time was not too kind to De Bruyne.
At that time, the entire Tottenham team was serving Yi Le, and De Bruyne had not yet gained the real right to speak. At that time, the core of Manchester City was Silva.
In addition, Yi Le repeatedly beat De Bruyne violently, causing him to suffer from "transphobia", and the subsequent duels became a bit deformed.
Due to various factors, De Bruyne was unable to exert his full strength, resulting in the two never really fighting with all their strength.
However, since Yi Le left the Premier League, De Bruyne's growth is worthy of recognition.
He gradually established a core position in the team, and his performance is getting better and better. Now he is the core of Blue Moon, there is no doubt about it.
As for the public call to De Bruyne, Yi Le did not respond.
He will answer with performance in the game, not with the quickness of the tongue.
The Champions League has entered the quarter-finals, and Barcelona is also facing a helpless choice.
Today's Barcelona is fighting on three fronts.
If all goes well, they can handle it with their player reserves.
But some time ago, they suffered successive setbacks in the league and the Champions League, and the last Champions League game rose to the level of a life-and-death battle. Although the result is gratifying, it consumes a lot of physical energy for the players.
Today, many people are experiencing physical problems.
In this case, the main players simply cannot afford the frequent rhythm of double matches a week.
Champions League, League, Copa del Rey!
One of these three lines must be discarded without any buffer space.
The decision didn't seem too difficult.
Valverde was sitting on the desk, and the three notes on the table were written with 'Champions League, League and Copa del Rey' respectively. Finally, he took down the note with the Copa del Rey, crumpled it up and threw it directly into the trash can.
Barcelona give up the Copa del Rey!
Next, they will focus on the league and the Champions League!
The most important thing is the Champions League!
If necessary, Valverde will even give up the league to ensure that the team hits the Champions League.
This year's Barcelona has a high probability of winning the championship. The consequence of a premature match between the giants is that the overall combat power will be lowered, and the amount of water injected in the semi-finals and finals will increase.
Of course, it does not mean that RB Leipzig and Lyon are too weak.
It can only be said that compared to the fierce competition between the top four and the four giants, the current situation is a bit clearer.
Even for many people, this year's Champions League champion will emerge from the second half of the division. Barcelona and Manchester City, whoever advances to the final will reach the top of Europe.
Of course, judging from the current situation, Barcelona consumed too much in the last game.
Physical fitness is even a secondary issue, and injuries are the most critical thing.
Fortunately, Barcelona's current core, Yi Le, has no recurrence of old injuries. This is gratifying, but Barcelona's top scorer Suarez suffered a muscle tear and missed the next game.
Without Suarez, Barcelona will be greatly reduced in offensiveness.
Although Suarez does not have much stickiness in the team, but his scoring efficiency is very high, especially after serving as Yi Le's scoring tool, his scoring rate has reached a terrifying 1.1 goals per game. Now, with this number of goals, he leads La Liga and the Champions League scorer list.
The injury of such a general is not a good thing for Barcelona.
Although Valverde was mentally prepared at the beginning of the season, he also felt very tricky when it came to the critical moment.
In today's Barcelona formation, apart from Suarez, it is difficult to find a center forward.
You can't let the short Messi play center forward.
Not to mention Fati, being thin and too young is a problem.
Griezmann is suitable for the position of winger and central midfielder, rather than directly charging into the battle.
Now Valverde even has to consider playing double forwards to make up for the lack of offensiveness.
Thinking of this, Ernesto Valverde felt constipated. After all, the 442 formation is easily despised. After all, this is one of the ancient formations. If a team adopts this tactic, the media will definitely say that this team does not have excellent players to implement complex and advanced modern tactics.
After all, in this tactic, many positions are not too flexible, and the overall formation is a bit clumsy.
But Valverde has no choice. The reason why he chose this formation is to expand Yi Le's influence.
As we all know, the 442 formation is also known as the thigh formation.
Unlike the formation with a single striker, 442 allows the main attacker to lead the striker to attack the opponent's hinterland.
And the main attacker was Yi Le.
Although to some extent, this has increased the pressure on Yi Le, but after the last game, Valverde has a kind of confidence in Yi Le, and always feels that he is competent for any job.
Of course, it's not that Yi Le has never played this formation. On the contrary, he has a very qualified thigh, which is the result of careful consideration from many aspects.
Guardiola's Manchester City will definitely choose to be flexible in tactics. After all, "passing and controlling" is the pride engraved in Guardiola's bones.
Valverde doesn't think Barcelona's squad will lose to Manchester City, he just doesn't feel confident in himself.
From the players to the lineup, Barcelona has a faint advantage over Manchester City.
But there is still a gap between the head coaches.
Valverde didn't dare to belittle himself, he was the coach of Mengsan, and he didn't think that the bald man who created the Mengsan dynasty was a fuel-efficient lamp.
Whether it is in terms of skills and tactics, impromptu reaction, right to speak in the locker room, etc., he is much inferior.
Also, his team wasn't at its best.
Therefore, he can only come up with this set of relatively conservative tactics to deal with it.
This game is not only for Manchester City, but also for Valverde himself.
After all, this is the 'ex-ex'!
Barcelona fans still have feelings for Guardiola, and this feeling will be contrasted in this game.
It's fine if he wins, but if he loses, he has every reason to believe that his situation will become very difficult.
Even if the fans don't say anything, the media will ridicule themselves.
Therefore, he needs to win this game.
Even in embarrassment and ugliness, he still has to win the game.
For this reason, he put the weight on Yi Le, which is the only thing he can do now.
