Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 216: Confrontation (Third Update, Please Vote for Me)

The fifteen minutes of the halftime break passed quickly due to the arrangement of the coaches of both sides and the great connection between Zenit and Liverpool in the stands.

The head coaches of both sides reappeared in front of the coach on the sidelines, and the TV broadcast gave each of them a close-up shot, from which nothing could be seen.

Then players from both sides appeared one after another, and several major players also enjoyed close-up treatment.

Chen Yingxiong has a relaxed expression, while Messi has a serious expression.

"The expressions of the two leading stars fully reflect the current situation of the two teams. Liverpool is in the lead and is relatively relaxed. But Barcelona just equalized the score and was overtaken by the opponent again. The situation is not good..."

The commentator is introducing the basic situation of the two teams to everyone.

Zenit and Liverpool fans in the stands did not care about this appearance. They are still taking the time to complete the final contact.

Because there were too many people, it was impossible to notify them one by one, so the leaders of the two teams only notified some of the backbones. These backbones were otherwise in the area around them. They would convey the above meaning to the ordinary players and tell them that they should be in the game. How to do it.

In this way, notifications were received in most of the stands of the stadium.

At this time the second half is about to begin.

Liverpool kicked off the second half, and this time Barcelona did not dare to press easily. Even if Liverpool kept passing back, they only asked Villa, Messi and Pedro to come up and harass them, and the overall formation did not move.

Faced with such a cautious Barcelona, ​​Liverpool's attack naturally failed to score a goal.

But next, Barcelona changed their cautious attitude and attacked in a big way, launching one attack after another towards Liverpool's goal.

Their offense seemed a bit desperate. In fact, apart from attacking, Barcelona had no other choice.

If you don't attack, you'll die. If you attack, you may still live.

Barcelona increased their attacking power to the highest level and launched a charge towards Liverpool's goal.

Then in the fifty-seventh minute, they finally equalized the score for the second time!

"Messi! Messi again! This is his eleventh goal in the Champions League this season!

Amazing Messi! He once again stepped up to save the team! Through a series of fierce offensives, Barcelona finally opened the goal guarded by Reina! "

"Unstoppable Messi! Unstoppable Barcelona! They have proven to the world with practical actions that Barcelona is still the invincible team that can dominate European football!" Amid the crazy shouts of the commentators, Messi opened his arms His arms ran wildly on the court, plunged into the coaching bench, and hugged the excited head coach Guardiola tightly.

The Barcelona fans in the stands came to life. They sang and danced, waving their arms and shouting "Barcelona, ​​Barça" resounded in the sky.

Martin O'Neill stood on the sidelines, turning his head to look at the crowd celebrating next door.

A problem he suddenly realized.

Liverpool's defense is their traditional strength, and they have used this move to defeat many opponents in England.

But……,

This trick doesn't seem to work for Barcelona. Because Barcelona's offense is so powerful that Liverpool can't even stand the contraction of defense!

Defensive counterattack doesn't seem to work.

Martin O'Neill stood on the sidelines reflecting.

He shouldn't let the team continue to defend when the team is one goal ahead, like it did in the first half.

Because I wanted to avoid its sharp edge, I chose to defend. But the result of every defense is the same, conceding the ball.

This can't go on like this. To be honest, it is luck that the hero can score in the second minute after the team loses the ball. Could he put all his hopes on Chen Yingxiong and count on Chen Yingxiong to save the world with goals again and again? Team?

Actually he could, but he didn't want to.

Because he is the head coach, he is responsible for the team's failure and victory. He cannot just be a bystander, watching the players fight hard, while he is just arranging the formation before the game.

He decided to adjust the team's strategy.

Change from defensive counterattack to offense.

Barcelona's offense is indeed very powerful, but their defense also has problems. As long as we can continue to apply pressure, we don't believe we can't break Barcelona's goal.

Isn’t it just about who scores more goals? Will Liverpool, who scored 107 league goals in a season, be afraid of Barcelona?

The Barcelona players were celebrating the goal. This time, there were no Liverpool players to disrupt the situation with sudden cheers.

While they were celebrating, Martin O'Neill called Gerrard down for a face-to-face discussion.

As he said this, Gerald nodded.

After finishing, he patted Gerald on the shoulder, and Gerald followed the order.

After returning to the court, he conveyed the latest instructions from the head coach one by one.

"He asked us to attack boldly and show Barcelona our offensive strength!" After hearing what Gerrard said, Chen Yingxiong clenched his fists.

"I like!"

Barcelona's morale was boosted after equalizing the score, and Guardiola let out a sigh of relief as he watched below.

For him, the game finally got back on the right track, and the next step was the real competition between the two teams.

When Liverpool kicked off again, Barcelona still seemed very cautious, which was in sharp contrast to their continuous bombardment when they scored.

They were afraid that Chen Yingxiong would use the kick-off to score another goal for them. If they suffered such a blow twice in a row, their morale would not be boosted no matter how hard they tried.

This time because of their caution, Liverpool's offense did not score a goal.

Originally everyone thought that the game would enter a stalemate stage again. But I didn’t expect that the next game would dazzle everyone!

Because Liverpool no longer just retreated to defend in the backcourt, they did not simply take advantage of the kick-off attack and then retreat to defend, but continued to launch an offensive.

This move brightened the eyes of the audience, but made Guardiola frown.

He was confused.

Liverpool actually started to attack Barcelona?

Do they still think they can't die quickly enough?

Football all over the world knows that fighting Barcelona will not end well. Even Real Madrid, led by Mourinho, is considered a team on the same level as Barcelona, ​​and they dare not choose to attack Barcelona when facing them, even in their own home stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Playing against Barcelona means that there will be more gaps in their defense, and these gaps are Barcelona's favorite, and they can take full advantage of these gaps to score goals.

When the goals came one after another, the opponent collapsed.

Because their offense cannot be compared with Barcelona, ​​they can't even control the situation, so how can they even talk about equalizing the score?

But the Liverpool in front of them is actually going to attack Barcelona!

Aren't they afraid that the space behind them will be exploited by Barcelona?

It stands to reason that Liverpool also attacked, which was good news for Barcelona, ​​but Guardiola hesitated, as if a huge sum of money suddenly came to him, without warning or reason, he I will definitely wonder if this is a trap.

The Barcelona players on the court didn't think so much. They found that Liverpool actually came out to attack them, and they were all happy that the game was easy to play.

They believe that this is because Liverpool was stimulated by their two consecutive equalizers, and they want to score goals desperately, score more goals, and leave them far behind.

But can you get away with it?

Barcelona players laughed at Liverpool for overestimating their capabilities in attacking with them, while preparing to take advantage of the gaps behind them after the opponent pressed forward.

Barcelona lacks intuitive feelings and impressions of what Liverpool's full attack looks like, and not many people understand this.

But AC Milan must know.

They were defeated in both rounds by Liverpool's devastating offensive frenzy.

But Guardiola did not study these two games because he did not believe that anyone would dare to choose to attack Barcelona. So these two games have absolutely no reference value.

He once fell into his own psychological misunderstanding, but this time he was unaware of it.

Now he can finally experience for himself what it will be like when Liverpool attacks at full strength.

Perhaps the Barcelona players on the field know more intuitively than their head coach.

Originally, after the Barcelona players laughed at Liverpool for overestimating their capabilities, they planned to continue attacking and take advantage of the spaces behind Liverpool.

But now, the idea was their plan, it had always been the plan.

Because they have no way of putting it into practice!

Liverpool's offensive is too fierce!

Liverpool's offense is completely different from Barcelona's. They rarely make various moves in the midfield and backfield. Their passes are all forward. Although the success rate is low, it feels like a tide. One bo after another, one layer after another.

The attack was overwhelming, and it couldn't be more appropriate to describe Liverpool's offense.

Moreover, Liverpool has many long-range shooters in the team. They can threaten Barcelona's goal from a long distance. There is no need to patiently pass the ball at the front of the penalty area to find the opening and then send the fatal pass. As long as there is a chance, anyone can take a long shot!

And the accuracy is pretty good.

For a moment, Gelders caught the low blocker, keeping him busy.

For seven or eight minutes, Barcelona's ball didn't even get past halftime!

This is a very rare scene.

It was different from the scene near the end of the first half. In the first half, Barcelona subjectively wanted to shrink its defense, which allowed Liverpool to attack. But no one would think that it was Liverpool's attacking power that pushed Barcelona back.

It's different now. Now everyone is watching Barcelona try to counterattack from Liverpool's offensive again and again, but they just can't start, right? Cerrone seemed to have been grabbed by Liverpool's head, pushed to the ground and beaten violently. Fan, can only parry and resist with his hands, want to find time to counterattack? There is no way! ! .
