Chapter 118 This Is Understandable...
For the fans on the scene, the half-time break is really hard. After they have dealt with personal matters and returned to their seats, they began to wait for the game to start, but there are still a few minutes left, and these few minutes will be boring. spent in the middle.
Every fan is looking forward to the start of the game as soon as possible.
However, for the players and coaches of the two teams, ten minutes is too short. The coach has only finished talking about tactics, arrangements, etc., and after a short rest, the time is almost up, and the players have to return to the court. Ready to play.
Soon the second half of the game will start.
In the opening game, neither team made any substitution adjustments. Both sides were relatively confident in the starting lineup. After that, the referee blew the whistle, and the stadium was once again filled with tension and passion.
Wansheng has no plans to make substitutions for the time being.
The only thing to be replaced is Fran. It is difficult for Fran to play the whole game, but he can still play for a while. It takes a while to get used to a new player. Wansheng needs to observe the game and then consider making a substitution. Adjustment.
Barcelona also has nothing to change.
Barcelona's starting lineup is already the strongest. Among the players in the first half, Adriano almost defended and failed to restrain Ozil, but it was the same with other players, not Adria. There is a problem with Nuo's state, but Ozil's personal ability is strong, and other players can be limited by the same.
At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona launched the attack.
They have no other choice. When they are two goals behind, they must score as soon as possible if they want to win. Compared with the first half, Barcelona played more proactively, especially in midfield. They constantly strive for the ball. The control of power also increases the forward passing to create a threat.
At half-time, Guardiola obviously had some special instructions for the team to make them play more targeted.
Among the Barcelona team, Busquets is the most active player. As the core of offense and defense transition, Busquets is also responsible for organizing the offense. The prequel made Atlético Madrid's backcourt defense tense.
The two wing players, Iniesta and Xavi are also very active. Their personal ability is very strong, and the coordination between them and the middle also makes it difficult for Atletico Madrid to limit the wing.
In fact, the two flanks are the focus of Barcelona's attack.
After all, Busquets is a defensive midfielder. He has to take into account the defense, and he has not much willingness to attack. Barcelona's more attacks are launched from the two wings. Whether Iniesta or Xavi are the world's top players. The full-backs, the two kept pushing forward, looking for an opening in Atletico Madrid's defense.
On the striker, Messi began to drop back and forth.
Atlético de Madrid has been closely guarding Messi. In the first half, Messi made a few breakthroughs, but there was not much threatening performance, which was inseparable from Atlético de Madrid's tight defense.
Pep Guardiola emphasized that Messi should retreat in order to give Messi more room to play.
This is important.
For the world's top superstar like Messi, no matter where he gets the ball, he may become a threat, so letting Messi retreat and have more room to play can make Barcelona's offense more effective. Threats and more chances to score goals.
Barcelona is the strongest on the field right now.
Whether it is the striker or the midfield, they completely suppressed Atletico Madrid.
Five minutes into the second half, Barcelona's continuous offensive against Atletico Madrid proved a lot of things. Under this kind of offensive pressure, Atletico Madrid could only passively defend. Even Forlan in the frontcourt retreated to his own half. Field participation interception.
Barcelona's best performer is still Messi.
As Barcelona's No. 1 superstar and considered the No. 1 star in the world, Messi drew cheers from the stands every time he received the ball.
In Atlético de Madrid, Maurice is directly responsible for defending Messi.
Maurice's defensive ability is no less than that of an excellent central defender. He can do very well in one-on-one defense, but the defensive side is always passive. His restriction on Messi is not very successful. Many times Messi starts After that, Morris could only follow, and it was difficult to catch up.
This is related to physical conditions, and more importantly, defensive passiveness.
The defending side needs to judge the actions of the attacking side, and then carry out 'defensive actions', which is very passive. Mastering the active attacking side has a great advantage, just like the match between Morris and Messi, Messi as the The offensive side has the initiative. He can dribble the ball away from Morris, but this does not mean that Messi is better than Morris. In other words, Morris can also break through Messi with the ball, even better than Messi. It is easier to break through with the ball, after all, defense and offense are not equal.
In any case, Messi's performance is quite good.
Messi made Barcelona fans cheer with his personal performance. As time passed, the cheers became louder and louder, but at this time it was not only for Messi, but also for Barcelona. Take the whole team.
Barcelona's overall performance is getting better and better.
On the sidelines of the coaching bench, coach Guardiola's face finally improved. As long as the team continues, he believes that there is still hope for an equalizer.
Under the offensive of Barcelona, the commentator of Catalonia TV also shouted excitedly, "Barcelona is temporarily behind, yes, it is only temporarily, if the game goes on like this, it is very easy for Barcelona to score 3 goals in the second half! Note that the game has just started, and it is uncertain which team will win the championship!"
Not long after the voice fell, Barcelona launched a wave of offensive.
Messi received a pass from Iniesta from the outside of the penalty area, squeezed Rafael Varane to turn around and completed a volley to score the ball!
"Goooooooool!!"
"Messi! Messi! Barcelona pulled a goal back!"
The Catalan TV commentator was very excited. It was a headache for Barcelona to lead by two goals, but now he sees the hope of Barcelona tying. One goal back, now the score is 1-2, but after a while, it will become 2-2, or even 3-2, it is not surprising, this is a strong Barcelona!"
"For Barcelona, the game has just begun!"
This goal relied on the cooperation of Barcelona and also on Messi's personal ability. Under the two men's defense, he turned and volleyed against Rafael Varane, and just completed the shot. Very technical, not to mention scoring the ball.
"This is Messi!"
Any media is not stingy to praise Messi, because he is so good.
Barcelona fans gave a huge cheer, including many neutral fans, they all started to cheer for Messi's goal, even if some people do not support Barcelona, but Messi's supporters are still quite a lot, this is the world's top Superstar influence.
Messi's goal also gave Barcelona fans hope.
Just one more goal to tie the game!
Barcelona's morale is up!
Many Barcelona fans began to imagine that Barcelona's performance was getting better and better, Atletico Madrid's performance was getting worse and worse, and then they were scored, and then scored, and then scored again, until they completely collapsed. The NA will make a big reversal in the classic King's Cup final...
This is the next development trend!
————
Guardiola on the bench finally smiled.
Since the start of the game, Guardiola has been worried because Barcelona has always been at a disadvantage regardless of tactics or performance.
Now things are finally getting better.
Just as he thought, the game continues like this, Barcelona is very hopeful to tie the game, and the initiative will be in his hands at that time. As long as it can be tied, he believes that the victory is not far away.
But in fact, Wansheng didn't care too much.
Barcelona scored a goal, 1-2, making Atletico Madrid's advantage less obvious, but in fact, Barcelona's performance was still expected.
Wansheng has long known that the team is facing a formidable opponent.
How strong is Barcelona at its peak? Just look at the few waves of Barcelona's offensive just now. In this case, Wansheng still allows the team to fight against Barcelona, and it is naturally full of confidence in the team.
The source of his confidence is the team's frontcourt efficiency.
A football game is a gamble. There is no sure-win game. Every game can be said to be a gamble. It can only be said that the chance of victory is high. In the face of such Barcelona, Wansheng believes that the team will win. The chances were greater, especially after a two-goal lead in the first half, and the chance of victory was already in hand.
As for Barcelona's goal.
That is expected!
Barcelona is a strong team. It is almost impossible to block Barcelona's goals in a counterattack. The key to Atletico Madrid's victory is to score more goals than their opponents.
Barcelona are on the offensive right now, but they can't keep attacking.
This kind of large-scale intense offensive lasts for twenty minutes, and it must be adjusted for a period of time, otherwise the players' physical fitness and energy will not keep up, and their performance will get worse and worse.
Many people do not understand the situation, but feel that Barcelona is playing well and has a good chance to tie or even overtake the score.
But there are 90 minutes in a football game!
For such a long time, just running can be exhausted, how can it always maintain the same level of offensive?
As long as Barcelona's attack slows down, it becomes Atletico Madrid's time!
After Wansheng thought about it, he decided to make a substitution adjustment.
Forlan has not played much role on the field. On offense, there is no shortage of a scoring striker in front of the goal. On defense, Forlan can't play much role either. Now the Uruguayan has been a little immobile.
Wan Sheng glanced at the bench and finally decided to let Isco go to warm up.
Replacing Forlan with Isco was decided by Wansheng after careful consideration. At the beginning, he planned to let Diego Costa play, but Diego Costa and Forlan are the same type of striker, and when they are on the field, they are not at all. doesn't work much.
Now the team does not need a single striker, but Aguero, who also has a fast speed on the field, seems to be a little difficult to defend. Especially after Messi retreats frequently, the blockade of the front of the penalty area has become an important problem.
Isco's appearance can reduce the pressure on the middle.
At the same time, Isco's offensive ability is also good. Whether he is on the court by himself, or letting Maurice and Raul Garcia let go of play, he can be of great help to the team.
————
Soon the game will resume.
In the shouts of tens of thousands of Barcelona fans, Barcelona's offensive is still quite fierce, even if some players feel tired, they still insist on maintaining the offensive.
Barcelona is going to win Atletico Madrid in one go!
Atlético de Madrid continues to defend steadily without rushing, which is also what Wansheng requires. When the opponent is playing well, don’t go to direct conflict. At this time, the continuous attack is not worth the loss. When Barcelona is tired and exhausted , that's when the team plays.
Barcelona attacked a wave, and the attack hit the edge of the penalty area. Raul Garcia and Messi collided for the ball. The referee did not blow the whistle to signal a foul, but the football had already gone out of the touchline.
There was a brief hiatus to the game.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the fourth official raised the substitution card, and Atletico Madrid made substitutions.
Mean Coco stood on the sidelines.
"Atlético de Madrid was attacked very badly, they had to foul to stop Messi, but unfortunately the referee didn't seem to see it..."
The Catalan commentator regretted that the referee did not call Raul Garcia a foul.
At this time, he noticed Atlético de Madrid's substitution, "Atlético de Madrid is going to make a substitution, let's see... it's the teenager Isco, a young player born in Malaga, who is only 19 years old this year. But he has played for Atlético Madrid many times and has performed well in the league, but in the final of the Copa del Rey, it is still a bit unstable to have such a young player play..."
"But that young Chinese man, Wan Sheng, the coach of Atlético de Madrid, seems to like young players, and their centre-back, the younger Rafael Varane, has already started in many games. The same is true for the game, but he is obviously still inexperienced. He has just been squeezed by Messi to complete the shot. Varane has no way to defend Messi. Now Atletico Madrid has replaced a teenager, Isco... He replaced it with..."
"Fran!?"
"My God! It's really Fran!"
"Fran scored a goal in the first half and performed quite well. It seems that Aguero has retreated frequently, and he is not a real striker. There is only one Fran in front of Atletico Madrid. Isco replaced Fran. Is Atletico Madrid? Did you give up the attack?"
"It looks like this..."
"But it's understandable." The Catalan commentator said sarcastically, "Atlético de Madrid has no way to be attacked, they have no time to attack! After Barcelona resumes normal performance, they can only rely on one Goal advantage, passively choose to defend!"
"They're definitely going to be there until the last minute of the game, so they'll win... for sure!" (To be continued ~^~)
