's counter response as a resource to an adverse situation. A brief offensive action, moved, combined and without error that decides the outcome of two games. The day of Champions League left us two brilliant examples of how to run a counter and swing the outcome in your favor. Although the details differ skip between them, the situation is virtually unchanged. The meetings in question were the Milan - Tottenham and Arsenal - Barcelona.
Contextualization San Siro would be summarized in one of the local attacks (minute 79), persistent for the second half, and a very well-crafted defense of the Spurs. Ibrahimovic tries to filter a pass to break the first line of pressure but finds Tottenham theft Sandro (0'2 "). The Brazilian assists its referent, Modric, who turns his body towards the opponent at the same field time that Lennon uncheck accelerates in Ibrahimovic's back. The Croatian navigated a light touch and pressure milanista Lennon gets the ball (0'4 ") on home soil with space ahead: perfect situation to exploit its strengths . In just six seconds of an attack has passed rossonero a friendly against the Spurs.
Nesta movement leaves only Crouch |
just five seconds later, Lennon is facing Thiago Silva on the edge of the penalty area. It's a two for two: Lennon & Crouch and Thiago Silva & Nesta. The English end with a touch of dodge ball to Thiago Silva (0.10) and Nesta try to block the shot in the area. Crouch is automatically unmarked in the penalty spot, receives the pass from Lennon and crossing the ball scores (0 '13). Just fifteen seconds passed since the theft and define Sandra Crouch. A very short space of time may well have defined a playoff. Sandro interception, receipt of Modric, the uncheck and Lennon's career, his dribble and the definition of Crouch. Wonderful.
very similar situation which came a day later in the Emirates. In time of similar encounter (minute 82) to the San Siro, with a tie score and the changes that seemed all made decisive, Barcelona right wing attack. The video that illustrates this entry shows the exact moment where Koscielny moves in to intercept a pass in their own area and assists Bendtner (0'2 "), the starting point in a succession of movements which become decisive in setting the perfect counterattack.
Cesc is released and three of Barcelona are on the ball |
First, glaring error Barcelona players (up to three) will cover the pass from Bendtner (0'4 ") Wilshere leaving a clear passing lane. Busquets emphasize movement, leaving Cesc, which is already endangered in essence, and that will be key in accelerating the move. Secondly, Wilshere gets the ball and assist the first touch and an unmarked Cesc (0'5 ") which outlines his body in a turned-fabulous view of the situation for a control-oriented and send a ball. Finally, Nasri, who had begun his career when he receives the ball Bentdner (0'4 "), refers to the assistance of Cesc (0.10") at the edge of the area of \u200b\u200bBarcelona and stops to wait for their peers . By cutting open a passing lane (0'14 ") and Arshavin against manual defines a football (0.16).
3x1 Barcelona and two Arsenal players free |
the same time it took Arsenal and Tottenham in making a move to attack based on various movements perfect. Both moves are reminiscent of the famous race Theo Walcott at Anfield in 2009 in a quarter-final of the Champions League, although this time, we should emphasize the merit of rapid flooding of the Arsenal player.
