The best possible way to beat Barcelona – Real Madrid’s point of view (Part 3)
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 were able to win the home game against Barcelona and later defended at the Nou Camp in order to win the semi final of the Champions League.
Inter Milan later managed to go into the final game against Bayern Munich and eventually won the final in order to take the UEFA Champions League trophy.
Mourinho should now realize how Barcelona play their game and what their real weaknesses are.
Firstly, Mourinho should totally play counter attacking tactics. There is no doubt that Barcelona are simply lethal when it comes down to dominating possession and that is exactly why Madrid should play counter attacking football.
With three players in the midfield who can tackle the ball well, Barcelona are going to find it hard to get past all three of them.
Josep Guardiola rarely changes the way he plays. Therefore, Mourinho will have to devise the perfect ‘anti-Barcelona’ plan in order to beat a team which is considered to be not only best in the world but in the history of the game.
While playing counter attacking football, Jose Mourinho should also tell his players to pressurize the Barcelona midfielders.
Even though it is not necessary for the Madrid strikers to press high up in order to take the ball, it is very important for the midfielders to take the ball away from players like Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
Lionel Messi might not be as important to mark as Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. These two players are the suppliers for the Spanish Giants and these two have to be blocked in order to take advantage on the pitch.
Barcelona can easily be beaten on counter attacks. Josep Guardiola plays a high back line and it has been seen a number of times that defenders like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 and Eric Abidal cannot recover on time once the offside trap is broken.
Other things which Mourinho has to keep in mind include the fact that his players should calm their nerves. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 – all these players are famous for flipping their heads. If any of these players
lose their minds and concentration on the pitch and get frustrated by other Barcelona players, the game is definitely lost by the Portuguese coach.
All the Madrid players should make sure that they make the perfect tackle. Even a draw would be in Madrid’s favour and they should simply try and defend their three point lead over Barcelona. Moreover, they have a match in hand and this makes them hypothetically

Mourinho is a mastermind and he can definitely find a way through Barcelona. It is true that it is a must win situation for Josep Guardiola and he will come to Bernabeu to win the game. However, there is no doubt that Mourinho’s home form is simply brilliant.
Moreover, Madrid have finally started to play like a team. Even with immense individual talent, Mourinho has managed to unite all the players and they are all playing like a team.
This will definitely work in Madrid’s favour and they are going to give tough time to Barcelona – who are considered to be the most united team on the pitch. The Catalans are famous for their crisp, smooth and brilliant passing and that is exactly what Mourinho
needs to stop.
Even if his side doesn’t dominate possession, he has to make sure that they have a more direct approach compared to Barcelona.
