Chapter 1031 Gunner Myth Hemisphere Advantage
Barcelona lost [-]-[-] in the first round. Back at the Camp Nou this time, Barcelona wanted to make a comeback. After the referee Rossetti blew the whistle for the start of the game, they launched a challenge to Arsenal. onslaught.

Barcelona's starting lineup for this game has only minor adjustments compared with the Emirates Stadium. Puyol and Maxwell appeared on the back line, and Pedro bid farewell to the bench and played on the right winger.

Although the main change in Barcelona is on the back line, Barcelona is a total defense team. Their offense is not just launched in the frontcourt like the Italian team. Their offense can be launched from any place.

Puyol's ability to assist is average, but his defense in the backcourt is more stable, and his passing with his teammates is also more tacit.And Maxwell's assist ability has always been the reason why he has a foothold in Barcelona.After the two of them were on the court, Barcelona's defense immediately became much more flexible and stable. Under the fierce pressing of Arsenal, Barcelona's super-level performance has achieved the point where people reach the ball and the ball is integrated. Arsenal Na's rhythm is a little slower, and there are only non-stop fouls.

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, Barcelona kept attacking and Arsenal kept fouling. The scale of the Italian referee's penalty was between the Premier League and La Liga. However, under this scale, Arsenal still had 6 fouls, and Arshavin, who actively returned to defense, received a yellow card.

Arsenal didn't intentionally want to foul, but their frequency was a little slower, resulting in a passive step by step. The referee Rossetti also saw this clearly, so the scale was not very strict when making penalties.

After 10 minutes, Barcelona played at a faster pace, hoping to take advantage of Arsenal's not adapting to it, and go one step ahead. The gap between the two goals made them unable to play with peace of mind, and Arsenal's mental and psychological pressure was still there. It is not enough to make them collapse. In Barcelona's view, as long as they score one point faster, Arsenal may not be able to keep up.

But the actual situation is just the opposite. Originally, Barcelona's frequency is not to win by being fast. Speeding up the pace of the game, on the contrary, let Arsenal find the feeling of playing in the Premier League. In the Premier League, it is like this now. You don’t need to think at all, because you don’t have time to think. play football.This is exactly what the Premier League teams are good at, and they maintain good physical fitness in this anaerobic state of play, and they can almost play a full 90 minutes at a fast pace.

Arsenal's tactics in this game are defensive counterattacks. Once they regain their rhythm, the power of Barcelona's offense will be greatly reduced. If Barcelona's offense is like a tide, Arsenal's defense is like a levee. There are so many changes in the bottom pass, but it is impossible to pass through the embankment.

At this time, immediately go from fighting the whole to fighting the individual strength of the stars, to see which superstar has the ability to make a gap in the opponent's impenetrable defense.

It was Messi who struck first. The Argentine returned to Barcelona from London with a stomach full of anger. This Argentine looked humble and polite, very low-key. In fact, this Argentine who suffered from dwarfism since childhood was very proud and never willing to accept failure. He is also unwilling to accept the second place. From the 0506 season, he refused to go on stage to receive the championship trophy because he did not play the Champions League final. We can know how stubborn and strong his character is.

In this game, Arsenal developed a zone-marking defensive tactic for Messi, which is to deal with Messi and others' frontcourt transposition tactics, so that no matter where they go, players will follow them closely.

However, Messi is such an explosive player with a very high golf quotient, it is impossible to defend him for 10 minutes, otherwise he will not be hailed as the second dominant star after Li Huan. The most hopeful person to become the king of the ball.

In the 18th minute of the game, Messi withdrew slightly and stayed at the junction of the midfielder and the defender. Messi, who has a high golf quotient, was very poisonous, because his position made the players who were marking it very embarrassing. According to Arsenal Arsenal's tactic is that the player closest to Messi stepped forward to mark the man to defend, but Messi's running position made Arsenal instantly confused in marking the man. Although Arsenal's cooperation was also very tacit, the decision was made in an instant Diaby stepped forward to follow Messi.

But it was too late in an instant. For a player like Messi, he cannot even be given a chance of 0.1 seconds, because his personal ability is too outstanding.

The 0.1-second vacancy allowed Harvey to pass the ball easily. When the second master Diaby rushed over to try to stick to Messi, Messi stopped the ball half a meter forward when he caught the ball. It seemed It seemed like a big stop, but this stop immediately showed its wonder. Messi took half a step forward. With this half step, Diaby could only watch Messi in front of him half a step away. meters, but it was difficult for him to reach out.

The first man-marking defensive player failed to keep up, and the second one was immediately passive. Song had no choice but to go up and Fabregas made up for it in the back. The three midfielders were all attracted by Messi.

Messi naturally understands what to do at this time. This Argentine is definitely a bug. He doesn't have too many thoughts of individual heroism, and he will always focus on the collective.Seeing that Arsenal's defense is very weak, Messi made a feint and immediately passed the ball to Alves on the wing, and he suddenly inserted into the penalty area.

Messi's passing and forward penetration are both signals. Most of Barcelona's players are from La Masia, and they are very clear about each other's characteristics, habits and ideas. When Messi split the side, Pedro and Villa began to Run to grab points, and at the same time pull away Arsenal's defensive players.

From the perspective of Arsenal fans, Barcelona rushed towards Arsenal's penalty area in a swarm, but from the perspective of Arsenal's players, every player's running position in Barcelona is a great threat, and they cannot miss any One person, because Barcelona's passes are everywhere, whoever they miss, the result is fatal.

But after Alves plugged in, Arsenal's defensive players were obviously not enough. Clichy could only defend Alves who was holding the ball, and it was impossible to have time to take care of Pedro.At this time, this seemingly mediocre Pedro suddenly cut into the ribs of Arsenal's penalty area.

Pedro was unmarked and Alves' pass was right at Pedro's feet.

Almunia's performance today is not bad. It may be that Barcelona's aggressive attack made Amu perform exceptionally. He has blocked Pedro's shooting angle. Luo's shot hit him and bounced out.

At this time, the reaction speed of the striker and the guard is compared.

Messi was obviously a quicker shot. Before Arsenal's defender could react, Messi rushed to the goal like a bullet and kicked the ball into the net.

1:0, Messi opened the scoring again, and the total score of the two sides became 3:2.
The Nou Camp Stadium suddenly felt like a tsunami. Nearly [-] Barcelona fans roared and applauded, which was deafening. Everyone at the scene couldn't hear what others were saying, but could only see the other party's mouth moving, just like acting. Like pantomime.

"Ah! Ah! Ah...Messi! Messi's supplementary shot! The goal is scored! The goal is scored! 2:3, there is still a gap of one goal, no, no, there is no goal, and there is still There is a gap of half a goal. As long as Barcelona scores another one, Arsenal will be eliminated. This is an extremely dangerous score. Both sides have a chance. Now the game has become more exciting, no, no, it should be more exciting That's it, the final battle of life and death, the living enter the top four, and the dead go back to watch live TV..."

Barcelona's players celebrated like they had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.On the other hand, the Arsenal players showed helplessness and disappointment, and were a little nervous. The half-goal gap was too dangerous, and an accident would make them lose their previous efforts. Now they can no longer be conservative, and they must score again if they want to enter the semi-finals.

After the game started again, Barcelona took advantage of the victory to pursue and wanted to defeat Arsenal in one fell swoop.

If it was Arsenal a season ago, it might have been defeated, because young people have strong psychological fluctuations and unstable skills and tactics. But now Arsenal's young people have matured for another year. Li Huan, Arshavin After arriving, they injected stability and resilience into the team. They were only a little disappointed after conceding a goal, but they were not flustered. They still counterattacked as before conceding the goal, waiting for the arrangement of the head coach and the captain on the field.

Li Huan and Fabregas saw that Wenger's gesture on the sidelines was to make them strengthen their offense. The two discussed briefly. Fabregas advanced ten meters from the position of the midfielder, and Li Huan also assisted The frequency and magnitude of the game has doubled, and the overall situation of Arsenal has not changed much. Only the two captains have changed their positions and styles of play. The midfielder and defender.

Don't underestimate Bregas's [-]-meter premise, but this [-]-meter avoids the mad dog counterattack of the Barcelona forwards, which increases the possibility of breaking through Barcelona's defense.

However, Li Huan's side attack directly suppressed Maxwell. The Brazilian couldn't even guarantee defense, let alone assists. Now Puyol has to frequently fill him in.

After 5 minutes, Arsenal gradually stabilized the situation, and Barcelona had both defense and offense. Although they did not equalize the score, they formed a balance of power on the scene and did not fall into a disadvantage.Since they still have a half-goal lead, the initiative of the game is still in the hands of Arsenal.
