Paris St-Germain successfully beat Barcelona in the Champions League Matchday 2. The absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be able to properly replaced by Lucas Moura, who became a key 3-2 victory Les Parisiens.
The PSG supporters who packed the Parc des Princes when PSG host shrouded concerns Barca on matchday two of the Champions League on Wednesday (1/10) early this morning.
A series of poor results in the domestic league and also the absence of players like Ibra pillars, Thiago Silva, and Ezequiel Lavezzi make them doubt PSG will achieve positive results in this match. But unexpectedly, surprisingly PSG able to beat Barca with a thin score 3-2.
Special credit should be given to the architect PSG, Laurent Blanc. He is apt to put Lucas Moura to replace Ibra. Where Moura be key to the success of the strategy adopted Blanc to penetrate the Barca defense.
Ransacked the High Line Defense Barca
Despite playing at home against an opponent and classmates face PSG, Barca remain open play. Luis Enrique's squad care PSG continued to press in the first minute. Pressing aggressively could be done quickly so that Barca had the ball and build attacks.
Barca were using a high defensive line when the ball PSG. Barca Backfour lined up near the rim area to keep the midfield line of attack opponents penalty box area
But this strategy seems to even be a blunder for Barca. Although the Blaugrana dominated possession, PSG can still spread threats through counter-offensive scheme. In the first 10 minutes, when Barca dominated possession is still difficult to penetrate the PSG defense, Moura et al. had three times the effort to release the shot.
Selection Moura as PSG become a key core players how to counter-attack strategy is very effective PSG threaten Barca defense. Not capable of unparalleled speed Moura Barca defense.
Before this match, the question of who will replace Ibra is a big question. Due to replace Ibra, on the front lines, leaving only the young striker, Jean-Cristophe Behebeck.
Some observers of football in France suggest Javier Pastore with Edinson Cavani in attack. Then to fill the post Pastore, Yohann Cabaye Blanc can play in front of a trio Matuidi-Verratti-Motta. PSG remain in the grip so that the usual 4-3-1-2.
But Blanc has other plans. In this match, Blanc implement a 4-3-3 formation with installing Moura as a right forward. Pastore sacrificed be attackers left.
With this Moura built PSG attack. The ball from the defense area very often channeled to the right side, where Moura is located. Moura who follow high defensive line repeatedly Barca were able to win the duel against the guards, Jordi Alba.
Five times Alba successfully deceived Moura on the right side. Alba position is often too up to help facilitate Iniesta Moura and Neymar trick Alba. PSG's second and third goals were all done based on this scheme.
Deadly Movements Messi
Messi, who was placed as a center forward between Neymar and Pedro often down to pick up the ball. This is so the cause when he scored the equalizing goal.
Process goals Messi
From the chart above goals, we can see how Messi had previously been in front of the penalty area. Then when he gets the ball, then he gave it to Iniesta who ran free on the left side. After feeding, Messi was immediately moved to an empty area in the penalty area. Without escorts, Messi also managed to rip the nets Sirigu.
Goals that occurred in the 11th minute gives individual lessons for PSG defense. Because after this goal, they are more solid defense. Barca difficulty penetrating the PSG defense penalty area.
Post this goal PSG midfield trio, Verratti-Motta-Matuidi, no longer apply pressure aggressively. When Barca goal occurred, it can be seen how the two PSG midfielder hooked to steal the ball and make room for Messi. This resulted in Matuidi who plays as a left midfielder was forced to chase Messi because Messi is not got custody (see chart Messi scored the occurrence of the above).
PSG low defensive line and midfielder trio did not give an aggressive pressure
Removing pressing against Barca players do for the PSG defender not be fooled by the tiki-taka style game Barca. Because if you do a man-to-man marking, the PSG players certainly will follow the movement of an opposing player, where it could open a gap in the defense.
Low defensive line applied. PSG defense is waiting for the chance to perform intercept or clearance. The result, PSG did intercept 14 and 28 clearance.
Clearance PSG were piled in the penalty area due to a low defensive line.
Messi actually able to pass through the walls of several times the first defense raised by the trio PSG midfielder. But with solid Marquinhos and David Luiz in the penalty area, the ball goes into the penalty area was always be defeated. No wonder if in this match Messi only fired two shots.
To equalize after falling behind 3-2, Luis Enrique then enter Munir El Haddadi replaces Pedro and Ivan Rakitic and enter the draw Xavi Hernandez.
PSG's difficulty penetrating the defense is forced Barca have fired a shot from outside the penalty box. But by then, the attack becomes more dangerous because Barca have some snipers like Xavi, Munir, Messi, Iniesta, and Neymar.
To anticipate these changes in the scheme Barca, Blanc enter Yohann Cabaye more defensive bertipikal to replace Verratti.
conclusion
PSG victory over Barca obviously be quite surprising result given the conditions PSG currently being dogged by many problems. Though initially, many predictions were predicted Barcelona will win this fight.
All that thanks to the foresight of Laurent Blanc who utilize Lucas Moura. He was even forced to leave his grip 4-3-1-2 and 4-3-3 prefer to maximize the ability of comfortable play games Moura widened.
Low defensive line also exhibited PSG make trouble Barca attack line. PSG defense managed to minimize class players like Messi and Neymar to get a space shot. In this match, Barca only fired two shots on target in which the two into goals.
For Barca itself there's nothing wrong with his game. They were still able to dominate the game. Only this time, they were obliged to admit PSG defensive toughness and Lucas Moura.
