Episode 219 Double and… .

May, the end of the season.

The soccer world, which had been in disarray due to the coronavirus, is slowly taking shape.

As if symbolizing the Premier League’s gradual rise in status, Manchester City and Barnet FC are set to face off in the Champions League final.

People’s attention was naturally drawn to the English FA Cup.

Because it was essentially a preview of the finals.

For Barnet, who were challenging for the treble, they could not afford to miss out on the FA Cup.

Manchester City, who lost the league title to Barnet, are also desperate for a trophy.

Guardiola’s Manchester City saved face by winning the league title in the 2018-19 season, but have failed to achieve any notable results since.

‘This Champions League is important.’

Manchester City had won the league several times before Pep, so their ultimate goal was simple.

It’s Big Ear.

A dark night.

Pep Guardiola, who had sent his coaches home first, paced around the tactics meeting room.

“How should I organize the starting lineup….”

Barnett were not easy to predict because they had a deep roster.

You could bring on Holland, Leao and Bruno Fernandes to focus on finishing.

By using Jesus, Vardy, and Kante, we could maximize our control over the midfield.

‘If you start Aguero, the opponent will try to dominate the midfield.’

‘But you’re going to play Sterling? Can he score against Van Dijk?’

Manchester City have drawn two and lost four of their last six games against Barnet.

These records were speaking to Guardiola.

When it comes down to it, it’s not easy to beat Barnett.

‘A new approach is needed.’

Pep Guardiola’s mind was extremely complicated as he assumed countless situations and made tactical adjustments.

* * *

[Barnet vs Manchester City FA Cup final. The match will be held at Wembley Stadium.]

[It must be a bit unsettling for Manchester City, as they were Barnet’s home ground until recently.]

[We absolutely must overcome that burden. There is no need to explain the importance of this match, right?]

[That’s right. It feels like a prelude to the upcoming Champions League final, and it’s a very important match for Barnet, who are aiming for a treble.]

[I wonder what kind of tactics the two great generals have prepared. I’m looking forward to it. Let’s check out the starting lineups for both teams!]

―Barnet FC―

Jeju-Holland-Salah

Bruno-Rodri-De Bruyne

Robertson-Rüdiger-Van Dijk-Militan

Alison

―Manchester City―

Sterling-Mahrez

Foden-De Jong-Bernardo Silva

Gundogan

Zinchenko-Laporte-Stones-Walker

Ederson

[hmm?]

[Hehehe…]

The commentators checked Manchester City’s starting lineup and let out a sigh.

[Is Gundogan playing as a defensive midfielder?]

[It’s not that he has no record. When he played for Dortmund, he often played the role of a volante. However, after his mobility decreased due to injury, he mostly played in the mezzala position. It’s an unexpected choice.]

[There may be some hidden tactical intention that we are unaware of.]

Although they did their best to pack it, they still looked visibly flustered.

“Gundoan One Volanthi?”

Hyunwoo was also embarrassed.

But I quickly came to my senses.

Because there was a similar record in the original station.

The 20-21 season Champions League final is here.

Pep used Gundogan as a holding midfielder against Tuchel’s Chelsea.

Although he is undoubtedly considered one of the best directors of all time, one of his weaknesses, his lack of skill, seems to be resurfacing.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

As a leader in modern football tactics, he tried various changes every season.

However, the problem is that they try this every time they play an important game.

No wonder even the Manchester City fans who support him tell him to do things the right way.

It would be more accurate to say that there is a handshake at the end of a fight.

‘From our perspective, it’s thank you.’

Hyunwoo tried hard to suppress the smile that came naturally and called Holland.

“Elling!”

“Yes, sir.”

“It’s okay to come down lower than usual, just keep pressuring Gundogan.”

“All right.”

“It’s okay to be a little tough on him. Gundogan has decent footwork, but he lacks competitive ability. Just putting pressure on him will be a burden.”

[It’s a very important match. It’s understandable that he’d be nervous. But is that coach Kim Hyun-woo smiling?]

[Now, it’s safe to say that he’s a veteran coach. I guess we can say that he enjoys the game.]

Pep’s goal was clear.

The intention is to strengthen the offensive power by placing Gundogan, who has excellent technique and box striking ability, on the third line.

However, the abilities required of the third line in modern football are diverse.

Beep-

Barnet’s players put pressure on Gundogan as soon as the game started.

puck-

“profit-.”

Gundogan is pushed back helplessly by Holland, who is pushing forward with his body.

Rather than turning his body to the front to pass the ball, he gave the ball away in a dangerous position, creating a crisis of conceding a goal.

[Manchester City is having trouble building up from the back.]

[With Gundogan tied up, the ball keeps moving to the side.]

“Gundogan! Give it this way.”

Eventually, unable to overcome his frustration, Yong came down and joined the build-up.

Man City players with a natural line going down.

Pep, who was watching this, got angry.

“Gundoan! Keep moving. You can’t be tied down.”

When the second line resources come down to receive the ball, it means they are giving up the initiative.

For Pep, who values ​​ball possession, this was an unacceptable action.

However, rushing a player’s skills will not change drastically.

Bam-

[Gündogan. Giving the ball away again.]

[I think we need to change our tactics even now. The holding midfielder is not protecting the defensive line, but rather keeps creating dangerous situations.]

[Holland passes the ball to Salah on the flank.]

Gundogan, who lost the ball, chased after Holland, but he was not fast enough to catch up with him.

Haaland, keeping his distance from Gundogan, weaves his way through the center backs.

[Sala. Attempts a 1:1 with Zinchenko from the side.]

[Player Zinchenko needs to focus. He has been making a lot of defensive mistakes recently. The opponent is Salah.]

[Sala. Fold it once and dig into the side. Cut back as it is!?]

[Holland. Holland!]

Holland, who judged it difficult to shoot due to the competition with Laporte, extended his foot and barely managed to change the path of the ball.

A shot that could have been blocked easily as the strike was not accurate, but goalkeeper Ederson was slow to react.

[Enter. Erling Haaland scores in 14 minutes of the first half]

[Ah… Man City, they give away goals too easily?]

[Isn’t this the exact same part that was pointed out as a source of anxiety? Ederson, Zinchenko, and Gundogan all have great footwork, but there are question marks about their defensive skills.]

[On the other hand, it was Barnett who properly exploited Manchester City’s weaknesses.]

– ah…….

― The tactics of the manager that Manchester City fans claim is the best manager in the world = Gundogan’s one-bolanci. Hahahahahahahaha.

― It hasn’t even been 15 minutes yet. Don’t be too excited or depressed.

– I guess it’s a good thing if it doesn’t taste bad anymore?

― Memorize it from now on. Barnett Jungbae is a god and invincible.

― There definitely seems to be a difference in the level of the teams. Barnett has a much better defense. And the same goes for the organization.

― Why don’t you understand the intentions of Coach Guardiola, who chose an honorable death when it was obvious that he would lose if he confronted him head-on?

“Uhm….”

Manager Guardiola is losing his temper.

‘The pressure from the other person is stronger than I thought.’

Holland is a player with relatively little influence on the game.

I thought that Gundogan’s one-volante would be enough to develop the story.

He looked like he couldn’t control his temper because he was physically suppressed.

“…Gündogan. Switch positions with De Jong.”

He eventually tries to modify his tactics inevitably.

‘Should Fernandinho have been used as a starter?’

But it’s already spilt milk.

It’s an unwritten rule not to use substitution cards until the first half is over. You can only hope that the players will hold on.

However, Barnett didn’t give him time for that.

[Barnet’s corner kick.]

[All the defenders have come up. Manchester City’s defenders need to focus.]

Manchester City has a lot of relatively short players.

Barnett deployed Bruno and others at the back and sent all his centre-backs into the box.

[De Bruyne. Up!]

[Holland. He’s dragging the defender out?]

[Van Dijk cuts inside and… Huh? He misses Rudiger. Rudiger’s header!]

[Here we go. Rudiger scores the first goal in the FA Cup!]

[The players’ movements were completely prepared, right? Recently, Barnet has scored many goals from set pieces.]

[Manchester City, who are busy with their way out, are dealt a blow. The score is 2:0.]

[Isn’t this fatal? Man City needs to score at least 2 goals in the second half.]

Guardiola shaking his head while sitting down, and Hyunwoo smiling brightly and clapping.

It was a moment when the two directors’ appearances clearly intersected.

* * *

Second half.

Manchester City aimed to stabilize their defense by putting Fernandinho in Gundogan’s place.

Afterwards, there was criticism that the selection of the starting pitcher was wrong because no additional runs were scored.

Likewise, Barnet FC showed a locked-in appearance by bringing in Kante instead of Bruno Fernandes.

Kante, who came in as a substitute, also showed his ability to push Manchester City’s midfield with his tremendous activity level.

The match ended with a score of 2:0.

Hyunwoo arrived at the mixed zone and was bombarded with questions from reporters.

― What do you think about Guardiola’s use of the Gundogan shift?

“I understand. The games between Barnet and Manchester City are always close. Guardiola must have had to come up with a new strategy.”

― That’s because the camera caught him smiling brightly as soon as he checked the starting lineup.

“…Was it like that?”

– Did you already guess victory at that time?

“….”

Hyunwoo didn’t answer here.
