Sports Weekly All Media Reporter Liang Hongye
Barcelona returned to playing Guardiola’s football, and Messi revealed Maradona’s jersey in the old Newells era after scoring a goal to commemorate the old horse who had just passed away. The world of football is missing a corner for the death of Maradona, but at the Camp Nou on Saturday at noon Barcelona beat Osasuna 4-0, this match was perfect.
Four-digit tactics No. 10 reappeared
Although Maradona did not display his most talented football in Barcelona, Barcelona is, after all, Maradona’s first club to land in Europe. Before the start of the game, the Camp Nou also held an act of mourning for Maradona. Barcelona placed the number 10 red and blue crown on the court, and Maradona in the number 10 Barcelona jersey appeared on the surrounding billboards.
After a minute of silence, the game officially began. It was then that everyone knew if Barcelona played 433 or 4231, and who played in which position, because Coman again let Messi, Coutinho, Pedri and Griezman play at the same time in this match, which is also four of the ten. Players returned to play at the same time after the War of the Century. Unlike in the War of the Century, the only No. 9 player on the Barcelona team, Braithwaite, also made back-to-back starts after scoring twice Tuesday.The arrangement of the four No. 10 and No. 9 has been become a major focus.
Surprisingly, this time Pedri retired to the rear midfielder position and teamed up with Frankie De Jong. Griezmann played the forward midfielder position behind Braithwaite, and Coutinho and Messi played the role. Front left and right. Koeman’s four No. 10 tactics may allow Barcelona to play with a level of smoothness comparable to that of Guardiola Barça back then. This far exceeds Osasuna’s expectations. The Barcelona game is like training, like an exhibition match. . In the first 10 minutes, Durst and Alva successfully hit the ball into the penalty area from both sides to create a threat. Barcelona first created a good scoring opportunity in the 11th minute, Messi went straight to Griezmann, the Frenchman passed the goalkeeper, Coutinho’s shot was cleared by the opponent at the goal line.
Seeing that the time is about to pass half an hour, it gives the impression that Barcelona have a 5-0 lead, but in reality Barcelona, which can easily create scoring opportunities, have not yet opened the deadlock. . Griezmann and Coutinho have good opportunities. But failed to score. Until minute 30, Messi reconnected Alva in front of the penalty area, Barcelona’s left-back passed, Coutinho’s shot was stopped, Braithwaite kept shooting and finally blocked the ball with his knee. It is worth mentioning that Messi almost played the hand of God to commemorate Diego when he grabbed a point in front of the goal line. However, unlike the 1986 World Cup, today there is VAR in the game. Fortunately, Messi stopped in time and avoided Barcelona’s goal to open the tie was annulled. Barcelona’s second goal was exactly the same. Messi went through a series of cooperation with him as the nucleus in front of the penalty area. Messi passed Alba, Barcelona’s left-back pass was blocked and Griezmann fired a strong shot from outside to score. 2 to 0.
Messi pays tribute to the old horse
Although the No. 10’s four tactics played very well, coach Koeman adjusted the lineup in the second half, replacing Pedri with Busquets, which was a reminder of the team’s intoxication in the first half. But Busquets made a mistake the first time he touched the ball, allowing his opponent to hit the frame for the first time with a long shot, which was somewhat counter-dramatic. Although Osasuna increased midfield pressure in the second half, it actually had little effect, Barcelona did not weaken the smoothness and power of the passing network by replacing Busquets. Soon, Coutinho scored in the 59th minute, and the credit went over to Griezmann. The Frenchman intercepted the ball and passed to Braithwaite in the attack zone, but was destroyed by Ron Kalia, the ball ran towards Griezmann, who was in an offside position, but was not offside because the Osasuna center-back touched the ball. Griezman was not greedy, he helped Coutinho to put the empty goal, 3 to 0.
Messi, who has been organizing Barcelona’s penultimate pass, saw his teammates score goals, he was a bit anxious. For example, in the 70th minute, he chose to break two people in the middle, rather than pass the ball to Dembélé, who was in a better position. Trincon, who came off the bench, scored Messi’s blocked ball and helped Dembélé, but Trincon was sentenced to offside.
In the 73rd minute, Messi finally scored with his left foot from the most comfortable position in front of the penalty area. At the time, everyone knew why Messi was in a hurry to score a goal: he took off Barcelona’s number 10 jersey, exposing old Newell’s number 10 uniform on the inside. This is the team that Messi has loved since he was a child and the team that Maradona played for when he was young. On this historic jersey, there are sponsors of old Newells. Messi solemnly flattened the wrinkles on the shirt, pointed his hands to the sky and gave a kiss, a form of celebration that Messi has repeated many times before. However, this celebration was for his grandmother before, and this time, it was for Maradona.
Since then Barcelona still have many chances to score goals, but they haven’t scored, but that is no longer important. Barcelona once again played beautiful football that can make the world applaud, Messi also remembered Maradona under the testimony of fans from all over the world.
