Chapter 571: Withstand the Storm!

"Today, Barcelona's starting lineup is exactly the same as the previous game, except that Mascherano's position has been completely moved to the midfield, so today Barcelona's lineup is 3-4-3, full of attack power." BT Sport's Trick is explaining .

Nori shook his head: "Although they are very aggressive, the first half is almost over, and the score is still 0-0. The current situation in Barcelona is very unfavorable, and their players are exhausted."

At this time, Enrique, who was next to the coaching bench of the visiting team, was anxious. He has already noticed that his players are in poor physical condition, and many offensive opportunities have been missed because they can't make it up, and they ended up regretting it.

But he has no choice. Although Barcelona's substitute players are not weak, compared with "Habbai" and MSN, there is still a big gap. Even so, Enrique knew that substitutions had to be made in the second half...

With the referee's whistle, the first half ended and the score remained at 0-0.

During the intermission, Enrique made substitution adjustments: he replaced Harvey and Iniesta, who had suffered severe physical decline, and replaced them with Rakitic and Rafinha.

At this point the captain's armband fell on Messi.

Enrique told him: "Continue to strengthen the attack in the second half!"

Messi didn't speak, just nodded with clenched fists.

In the locker room of the home team at this time, Jin Taige looked at the Manchester United players in front of him and did not speak for a long time.

Under the indiscriminate bombing of Barcelona in the first half, the Manchester United players were also exhausted by the opponent's continuous passing. To be able to last 45 minutes without conceding a goal, they have done a good job. And after a season of hard work, at the end of the season, the physical condition of the players is not as good as in the first half of the season.

Kintag looked at the players, and he said with relief: "Guys, you performed very well in the first half. You are really good at dragging Barcelona to this level. But you have to work harder in the second half and continue to follow. Barça slammed, absolutely don't let them score!"

Captain Vidic stood up: "Boss, don't worry, we will be able to survive the 45 minutes of the second half and drag Barcelona down! Enter the Champions League final!"

At this time, the Manchester United players were also excited.

"Get rid of Barcelona! Enter the final!"

"Bring the Champions League trophy back to Old Trafford!"

Seeing the morale of the players so high,

Jin Taige felt extremely gratified. Do I need to say anything now? no need. The players are full of desire to win, and Jin Taige is full of confidence in the second half!

At this time, the captain Vidic was already sweating profusely, and the years are not forgiving. He is no longer the invincible central defender who dominated the Premier League with Ferdinand. Now Vidic's speed and physical fitness are not as good as before, and he relies more on experience and awareness to deal with opponents on the court.

Even Mahrez and Martial returned to defense frequently today, and they also made great contributions to the wing defense.

And the three defensive midfielders performed extremely well. They used their impeccable defensive ability to make "Habbai" extremely uncomfortable!

Because of the full running of the players, Barcelona's pass was not so smooth, and MSN didn't even get any good shooting opportunities throughout the game.

In this game, Valencia and Ashley Young still maintained the super state of the previous game. Jin Taige was very emotional. If the two of them could maintain this state, they would even be eligible to compete for the best full-back in the world! Especially Ashley Young, who is indeed "Yang at the end of the contract, the king of the game".

However, Jin Taige was still a little worried. Jones has already received a yellow card in this game. If he doesn't pay attention in the second half, he is in danger of being sent off. Therefore, Jin Taige specially asked the players to pay attention to defensive actions and not to cause unnecessary attrition.

Jin Taige specially asked several offensive players, if they are not very sure, try not to press easily. The main purpose of Griezmann, Mahrez and Martial in the frontcourt is to make the opponent afraid and not to press too presumptuously. This is their greatest use.

Of course, Kintag didn't completely stop them from attacking, it's just that Kintag didn't have too many scoring tasks for them.

After the start of the second half, the two sides still continued the pattern of the first half of the game-Barcelona's full attack and Manchester United's passive defense.

This situation has continued.

Messi is actually in a good state today. He worked very hard in the frontcourt, but he didn't do much in front of Manchester United's intensive defense. Today, Kintag specially arranged for Kanter to mark Messi. No matter where Messi went, Kanter was always inseparable, which made Messi extremely depressed. Although Messi also broke through Kanter's defense twice, he was also squeezed into the corner of the penalty area by Kanter, without any good opportunities.

And Nainggolan is on the bar with Neymar. But Neymar is most afraid of this kind of player with fierce tackles. His dribbling has been repeatedly tackled by Nainggolan, and he has nothing to do.

Today Vidic personally marked Suarez in the middle, and he also marked Suarez obediently.

In the Premier League in the past few seasons, Suarez has been Liverpool's striker. He has played against Manchester United many times, and Vidic has often played against him, so for Suarez's excellent skills and excellent running position, Vidic knows it all. He also tried his best today to hold Suarez tightly in the penalty area.

In Barcelona's midfield, although Rakitic and Rafinha are also very good, they are completely incomparable with Harvey and Iniesta. They have been submerged in Manchester United's crowd tactics.

Seeing this situation, Enrique made a desperate move, he replaced Mascherano and replaced Pedro. At this time, Barcelona already had four forwards on the field. Enrique completely gave up defense this time and went all out to attack!

Next, Jin Taige also began to deploy troops. He replaced Jones, who had received a yellow card, and replaced Van Dijk, who pushed him into the midfielder position; then replaced Mahrez, who had suffered a serious decline in physical strength, and replaced Alonso, allowing him He dropped back to help Ashley Young defend Messi.

For the last substitution, Kintag considered it again and again, and finally replaced Griezmann, who had some serious physical decline, and replaced him with Van Persie again.

This substitution is actually a bit risky. Because Griezmann has little effect in the frontcourt, replacing Van Persie may not be able to play any role. If other defensive players are replaced, it may have a better effect.

But Kintag knew very well that he had to put a center forward to contain Barcelona's defense, so he replaced Griezmann and ensured that a center remained on the field.

Moreover, Jin Taige is also secretly looking forward to whether the veteran Van Persie can still create a miracle today and end the game? heir to the red devil
