Chapter 372: The Storm Is Coming (Part 1)
Preventing Harvey is the key to curbing Barcelona's offense.
Fang Jue clearly pointed out the key to the second half of the game.
Even so, when Barcelona scored a goal shortly after the start of the second half, Fang Jue still realized that he underestimated Xavi and Barcelona.
Before the start of the second half, Barcelona made a substitution, Henry was replaced and Busquets came off the bench.
Barcelona changed from a four-three-three formation to a four-four-two formation, with Busquets and Yaya Toure forming a double midfielder.
Fang Jue glanced at Guardiola, but he didn't expect Guardiola to make such a decisive substitution.
The effect of Guardiola's adjustment can be said to be immediate. With Busquets protecting Yaya Toure, this liberated Harvey and Iniesta.
In the 51st minute of the game, Harvey sent a beautiful goal. The football went around the joint between Modric and Royce. In front of the penalty area, Messi got the ball. Hummels, then suddenly started to speed up. When he was approaching Alba, he suddenly stopped suddenly and changed direction laterally. When Alba hurriedly braked to defend, Messi took advantage of the gap created by this time difference and shot directly from the far corner. .
The football crossed an arc and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Although Bravo tried his best to jump up and touched the football, he still couldn't completely change the direction of the football's flight, and the football hung into the net.
...
"Gooooooooooooooooooooool!"
"Messi! Messi! Messi!" The commentator shouted excitedly, "One to two, Barcelona pulled back a goal, and at the critical moment, Messi stepped forward."
"This is the Barcelona we had in mind. Messi exploded. After half-time, the team returned to normal."
Fang Jue waved his hands on the sidelines, he was a little depressed.
Although he was angry about the conceded ball, he didn't get angry: Harvey's pass was really excellent.
Although he told his players to be careful of Harvey, Fang Jue realized that he also underestimated the strength of the Spanish international. He just made a conventional defensive arrangement, but, obviously, at present, this is Not enough, the team actually needs to make special defensive arrangements and arrangements especially for Harvey.
In addition, Messi's goal is indeed wonderful, Hummels and Alba are played around by the Argentine stars.
However, although the commentators are praising Messi, Fang Jue still insists that Harvey is the most threatening Barcelona.
It is precisely because Xavi came back to life, Messi began to explode, and the whole Barcelona team became active.
Fang Jue immediately made adjustments, he replaced Royce with Clement.
Clemente and Makelele form a double midfielder.
Modric's position is adjusted to the position of right midfielder.
Guardiola glanced at the home team's bench with a smile on his face: Conservative.
Guardiola said this word. In his opinion, after losing the ball, Fang felt that he was afraid. He was afraid of Barcelona's offensive and began to strengthen his defense.
However, in the face of Barcelona's offensive, want to hold a one-goal lead?
Guardiola made a gesture and continued to strengthen the attack.
"Tito, the storm is about to start," he said to Vilanova.
Vilanova nodded. He admired Guardiola very much. He was always so confident and confident. He was born to be a great coach.
...
And then... two minutes later.
Xavi was sitting on the ground, Barcelona's team doctor was examining him urgently, and then Guardiola saw the team doctor make gestures:
Substitution gesture.
"Harvey couldn't continue the game, and the team doctor indicated that a substitution must be made."
"Barcelona's luck is really not very good. As soon as they got back a goal, Xavi was injured and couldn't continue the game."
Guardiola's face was very ugly. He wanted to scold someone, but he didn't know who to scold.
Because, the slow-motion playback showed that Xavi and Clemente were fighting for the header. When it landed, the Barcelona midfielder was unstable and his feet slipped, which seemed to have strained his muscles.
The Ibiza people did not commit any malicious fouls. This was just a reasonable fight for the top spot. It was Harvey who was unlucky and injured himself. I really can't blame the Ibiza people.
Fang Jue was very surprised. He swore to the headlights that he really didn't use any props this time. Fang Jue also wondered if his hand slipped at first. He 'entered' to the system to see whether it was the 'yellow bad luck card' ' and the number of 'Yellow Lucky Balls' are correct and not used.
Therefore, there is only one truth: I am handsome, have a good character, and my luck is naturally not bad.
...
Guardiola hastened to get Keita on the bench to warm up.
And Fang Jue immediately made a gesture, attack!
Before Keita was replaced, Barcelona is currently playing with ten men, which is an opportunity that Ibiza can strive for.
The most fascinating thing about football games is that you never know what will happen in the next second.
A small accident may lead to a change in the trend of the game.
Originally, Messi's goal boosted the morale of Barcelona, but Xavi was suddenly injured, which caused a brief confusion in Barcelona, and at this moment, Ibiza suddenly accelerated.
Keita stood on the sidelines, ready to wait for the dead ball to complete the substitution.
At this time, the game progressed to the fifty-sixth minute. Facing Ibiza's frontcourt pressing, Barcelona made a mistake in its own defense. Veteran Marcos made a mistake in handling the ball under Aubameyang's pressing , The passing power is too small, the football was robbed by Mata halfway, and then Mata dribbled the ball directly to the penalty area.
Seeing that Mata was about to dribble into the penalty area, the young central defender Pique panicked and made the worst choice. He pushed down Mata who was dribbling the ball from behind the line of the penalty area.
beep!
The referee's whistle blew, and the referee on duty walked over and took out cards from his pocket.
The Barcelona players hurried over, and they could guess what color card the referee would draw: Pique was the last defensive player, which would probably result in a red card.
"Referee, that guy is diving." A Barcelona player shouted loudly. He refused to admit Pique's foul and instead accused Mata of diving.
"That's right, that kid dived." Veteran Marcos immediately shouted, he just made a pass error that caused all this, and now he is excused for Pique, and he is also excused for himself.
"Flop your mother's approval! Such an obvious push."
"I swear on my 1.5 eyes, Pick pushed someone," Clement yelled, even though he was looking the other way and didn't actually see what happened.
There was a violent row between the Barcelona players and the Ibiza players.
Both sides insisted on their own words. "Open your eyes and talk nonsense" is the normal state of almost most players in this situation. If you are blind in the face of the referee, do you believe your own words?
...
The referee yelled loudly, signaled both sides to calm down, and separated the players from both sides. Then he walked towards Pique and played a card to the young Barcelona defender: red!
"Red card! Pique was sent off with a red card. As the last defensive player, he pushed down Mata who was about to get a single-handed chance. Such an action should indeed be awarded a red card, so the referee sent him off the field." Dolores Said, "Pique is not calm enough. There is still time in the game. Even if Mata is allowed to enter the penalty area and let him shoot, and Valdés, it is possible to avoid conceding the goal. However, now that the score is behind, he is called. The red card was sent off, and this red card that outweighed the gain also revealed Pique's immaturity again."
Guardiola was very angry, he jumped up and down, reaching out and scratching his bald head impatiently.
In his ear, Tito Vilanova kept saying, "Young! Young! The price of being young!"
Guardiola was so irritable that he suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Tito, call Keita back."
Pique was sent off. At this time, the planned substitution of Keita needs to be considered.
"Forget it, continue with the substitutions." Tito Vilanova was about to suspend the substitutions when he heard Guardiola say again, and then he glanced at Ha, who was sitting on the bench with ice packs on his legs. Wei, nodded understandingly.
Therefore, when Harvey was injured and left the field, Guardiola made substitution adjustments according to the established plan, and then made temporary position adjustments:
Keita replaced Harvey, and then Keita and Busquets partnered in midfield as double midfielders, and Yaya Toure played as a central defender to make up for the vacancy that Pique was sent off.
