This is the first time Guardiola has returned to the Camp Nou Stadium as a guest.

Before the game, he refused the invitation from Barcelona's management and did not go to the chairman's stand to sit with them, but chose to sit in the area of ​​the visiting Atletico Madrid fans.

This is also his professional ethics.

Moreover, he was very grateful to head coach Gao Han for his explanation and avoiding himself being criticized by fans who were unknown.

At this moment, sitting in the stands and watching the game on the court, his mood was very conflicted and complicated.

"Harvey is young."

Guardiola sighed as he watched Xavi leave his defensive position and go to grab Atletico Madrid's possession.

For a young professional player, the experience gained from competition training is important, but the exploration and positioning of oneself is also critical. The latter often needs to rely on the tips and corrections of the head coach and seniors.

As a legend in Barcelona, ​​Guardiola is very optimistic about Xavi, a junior brother who also comes from La Macia, but he feels quite sorry, because in the past few years, no one can help him except Van Gaal.

He is already twenty-one years old. If he fails to find a way that belongs to himself and is suitable for Barcelona in the next few years, his prospects for the team will be terrible.

But Barcelona has been in a turbulent position in recent years. Whether it is Ferrer or Lexacci, they are obviously not Xavi's good mentors. As for teammates, Louis Enrique and Rivaldo are of course superstars, but they don't help them much. Koku's style is completely different from Xavi.

Another midfielder, Gabriel, has developed a bit in a biased manner. Gerard, who had recovered from Valencia for a lot of money, was incompatible with the team's characteristics and it was difficult to get a position in the team.

Thinking of this, Guardiola sighed deeply. He really didn't want to see Barcelona's tradition ruined.

But now, he is already powerless.

…………

…………

Tactics on the football field are closely linked.

As soon as Harvey got on the snatch, Koku had to adjust his position immediately.

The two midfielders moved, and Barcelona's defense had to react.

Atletico Madrid didn't expect that Barcelona would suddenly grab the ball and miss the ball.

But Gao Han’s team has one characteristic, which is that the players have high tactical execution and high performance.

With the guarantee of double highs, Atletico Madrid's on-site counter-attack has always been implemented quite well. Even if it is not regained the first shot, the team can quickly use the players' excellent position rate to create local advantages as soon as possible and curb the opponent's counterattack.

This time, the same is true.

Xavi and Koku teamed up to grab the ball, but found that there was no place to pass around.

The superstar men in front were all striding around in vain, and no one was willing to come back.

However, Saviola, who has the least qualifications and is eager to prove himself with performance, has withdrawn.

But it was useless. Atletico Madrid blocked every shot line forward.

Harvey's thoughts changed and immediately passed on to the back line.

He knew very well that under Atletico Madrid's press, the ball was a hot potato. Whoever held it in his hand would easily make mistakes. He could only pass the ball continuously by beating the drum and passing the ball.

But there is a problem.

Barcelona's ball control that people talk about is concentrated in the midfield and frontcourt, especially the people of several superstar players, but in the midfield, the ball is obviously not controlled.

Atletico Madrid decisively pressed forward and behind, with a little pressure, and Christaval was directly a long pass.

This was nothing. As long as you pass a long time, the whole team will put pressure on you and put pressure on them collectively. Even if you can't break Atletico Madrid's press, at least it can relieve the pressure in the midfield and backcourt.

But the problem is that when the ball arrived in the frontcourt, Pablo, who replaced Marchena, blocked Cruyvit with his body and headed the ball back to the midfield. Atletico Madrid players cooperated tacitly and controlled the second point in time.

So the ball fell to the feet of the bed sheet army again.

Barcelona's defense line was just halfway through, and found that the ball was suddenly lost, so he immediately wanted to retreat.

But Atletico Madrid also discovered this.

Deco suddenly passed the ball and passed the ball to Kaka's side.

I saw Kaka, who was originally going to get the ball, suddenly stopped urgently and received the pass from Deko. He turned around, threw away Xavi behind him, and accelerated and started directly.

"Atlantic Madrid found a loophole, Kaka started dribbling the ball from the midfield, and he seemed very confident."

"Kaka is very fast, my god, who can stop him?"

"Koku wanted to block Kaka, but was skillfully avoided."

"Now Atletico Madrid's trident has formed a three-for-two in the frontcourt, a good opportunity..."

"Kaka reached the top of the penalty area... It was divided into the penalty area..."

"Torres received the ball from the right and passed it to the goal!"

"Villa... the ball is in!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!"

"In the ninth minute, just nine minutes into the opening game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!"

"This is a very beautiful counterattack, with an assist from Torres. Villa penetrated straight behind Christenval, calmly pushed the ball, 1-0, Atletico Madrid's first record, breaking the deadlock on the court!"

"The goal-scoring hero Villa excitedly hugged Torres and Kaka. Without the excellent dribbling of the Brazilian player, and without the calm crossing in front of the goal, Villa's goal would not have been so easy."

"As the season deepens, we can gradually feel that Atletico Madrid's frontcourt tridents are becoming more and more tacit, and they often perform incredibly exquisite cooperation on the court."

"What is even more exciting is that these three players are not old. Villa is about to be twenty years old, Kaka is only nineteen, and Torres is even seventeen, but they form the most threatening offensive combination in the La Liga this season."

"This is the head coach of Atletico Madrid, Gao Han, who is only twenty-four years old."

"It's him, this season, has set off a youth storm at Atletico Madrid. The group of young guards with the bed sheet army are invincible throughout the La Liga."

"The goal was conceded in just nine minutes of the game, and Barcelona is in a bad situation."

…………

…………

After Gao Han saw Villa score in the coach's seat, he stood up with joy, hugged Buenaventura, Cantalero and others beside him, and then shook hands and high fives with the players on the bench behind him.

The opening attack is a tactical strategy. The biggest goal is to disrupt the opponent's rhythm from the beginning of the game and strive to grasp the rhythm of the game and possess the ball in your own hands.

As for the goal, it is considered an unexpected gain!

But Gao Han still walked to the sidelines, applauded the players on the field, and signaled them to continue to press forward and maintain the pressure on Barcelona. He should not relax just by taking one goal.

Afterwards, he gave Torres a thumbs up to him.

The captain at the Atletico Madrid grinned and smiled happily.

In recent times, Torres has indeed been more passionate and enterprising on the court.

"A few days ago, this kid suddenly came to me and said he wanted to practice more. I suspected that I had heard it wrong." Gao Han smiled and shook his head.

Cantalero also smiled, and Torres's training plan was responsible for him.

"He has indeed trained hard these days and has been in good condition. Your motivation for him has worked."

Gao Han nodded, and he was also very happy to see Torres' transformation.

Not that Torres did not perform well before.

On the contrary, for an ordinary 17-year-old young player, the performance of the Torres League for a period of time was quite good, but the problem is that Gao Han has higher requirements for him.

His and Villa's potential has reached 185, but after half a season of training in the Spanish Second Division, coupled with the winning of the Cup of del Rey and the training in La Liga this season, their improvements have been very obvious.

The older Villa has made the most obvious progress, with its strength reaching 155, and it has improved by ten points. It is indeed quite rare. On the court, Villa is the team's number one scorer now.

Torres's strength was originally similar to Villa, but in the past six months, he has only improved by five points to reach 149. Compared with others, it is quite rare, but in Gao Han's opinion, the progress is too slow.

Because of this, after Kiko's state recovered, Gao Han deliberately used Kiko to create some pressure on Torres and urge him to make progress, because he had a premonition that Villa and Torres' potential would likely go further.

The team won consecutive victories, and Gao Han used skill cards to feed each game, so the strength of the players in the team also improved by leaps and bounds.

Carvalho continued his progress in the Portuguese Super League last season, and has improved by ten points in the past few months to reach 160. This is also the level of a central defender who is the only one in La Liga.

Marchener only had a little less, improved by eight points, and reached 148, which was quite good.

Deco is the strongest in the team now. After joining Atletico Madrid, he has improved by six points and reached 167.

This value is quite good in La Liga. Although it is not yet top-notch, it is also at the level of a first-tier midfielder.

And the closer you get to the upper limit of potential, the slower your progress will often be.

Harvey Alonso also made ten points, reaching 153, and his progress was also quite good.

Gao Han felt that under the influence of Guardiola, Xavi Alonso's understanding and control of the game was getting higher and higher, which was far more happy than his strength.

The Brazilian midfielder Kaka, who was praised by the media as the biggest discovery of Atletico Madrid this season, made thirteen points after joining the team, reaching 164. It seems that there is hope to replace Deco and become the strongest person in the team.

But what surprised Gao Han the most was Marcos Senna. The Brazilian midfielder has improved fifteen achievements in the past few months, which once again refreshed Gao Han's impression of this Brazilian midfielder.

He is so low-key that he has almost no presence, but he is conscientiously guarding the midfield and contributing to the team in obscurity. Marcos Senna is definitely the midfield pillar for the team to perform such an outstanding performance.

It is precisely because of the rapid progress of players and the team's outstanding performance that Gao Han dared to promise that neither the winter break nor the summer transfer will introduce strong players, but will focus on increasing the thickness of the bench.

Because the team has this strength, he dared to set off at the Camp Nou Stadium and fight against Barcelona.

Not only do you have to win, but you also have to win decent.

Isn’t Barcelona’s best at possessing the ball?
