The Kane-inspired tactic undoing Barcelona

Barcelona have lost their final two games, and this season’s opponents are using a tactical tactic inspired by Harry Kane to create chances.

Onsiders and paying attention to defensive lines are frequently advised by buffed strikers.

Ramos said, “I think a lot about beating a high line,” when discussing how the goal occurred. [I believe there is a video of Harry Kane scoring against Barcelona two years ago when he did the same thing as I did on the goal.

What did he mean by this, though?

In a strange way, both Ramos and Kane were able to score against Barcelona’s high defensive line when they first waited in an offside position, something defenders don’t typically do.

Assailants have previously mentioned positioning themselves in this way, according to Thomas Muller.

Muller, a veteran Bayern Munich forward who left the previous season to join the Vancouver Whitecaps, said: “It is easier to defend a guy that comes the ball because the striker is in front of them. They can see and defend him.

However, you always have to turn when you have a guy [behind you], but you don’t want to give up your offense.

The defenders face the ball and move up the pitch as Barcelona attempt to catch their foe offside.

Last week, PSG and Bayern had players ready to run in behind the Barcelona goal with their weight and momentum in the right direction.

For Barcelona’s defense, it was difficult to recover because of this. How quickly they can regain their goal if they have to turn before accelerating once more.

In both instances, a quicker wide player running in behind was used to convert the ball. They were structurally onside when the pass was thrown their way, and the relatively slower striker, who was offside, directly caused uncertainty.

Both strikers moved towards the back post as the wide players moved the ball up the pitch instead of moving toward the ball, giving them time to get into an onside position.

The central attacker’s position toward the back post made it possible for them to play the pass into space, which allowed for the goalkeeper to intercept it before it curled back in their direction with time.

Although the similarities between the two goals are striking, there are also striking similarities between the two games.

Concerningly, Barcelona has conceded similar chances this season in the league to Levante, Rayo Vallecano, and Sevilla.

On Sunday, Sevilla defeated Barcelona 4-1.
