Chapter 1400 Confrontation
The 15 minutes of the half-time break, under the arrangement of the coaches of both sides, and in the grand tandem of Zenit fans and Liverpool fans in the stands, passed quickly.

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

Then players from both sides played one after another, and several main 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 it is relatively easy. But Barcelona was overtaken by the opponent just after the equalizer. The situation is not good..."

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

The Zenit and Liverpool fans in the stands didn't care about this appearance.They are still hurrying to complete the final contact.

Because there are too many people, it is impossible to notify one by one, so the fan leaders of both sides only notified some backbones. Otherwise, these backbones will convey the above meaning to ordinary fans and tell them what to do in the game. Do.

In this way, one by one, the stands of most of the stadiums were notified.

At this time, the second half is about to begin.

※ ※ ※

It was Liverpool who kicked off in the second half, and this time Barcelona did not dare to overtake it easily.Even if Liverpool kept passing back, they only let Villa, Messi and Pedro come up to harass them, and the overall formation did not move.

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

But next, Barcelona changed this cautious look, aggressively attacked, and launched wave after wave of offensives towards Liverpool's goal.

Their offense looks a bit desperate. In fact, Barcelona has no other choice but to attack.

If you don't attack, you will die. If you attack, you can still live.

Barcelona cranked up their attack to the max and charged towards Liverpool's goal.

Then they finally equalized for the second time at 7 minutes!

"Messi! It's Messi again! This is his No. 11 goal in the Champions League this season! Amazing Messi! He stepped up again to save the team! Barcelona finally exploded through a series of fierce offensives. Open the goal guarded by Reina!"

"Unstoppable Messi! Unstoppable Barcelona! They have proved to the world with practical actions that this Barcelona is still an invincible team that can dominate European football!"

Amidst the crazy shouts of the commentators, Messi ran across the court with open arms, plunged into the coach's bench, and hugged the excited coach Guardiola tightly.

And the Barcelona fans in the stands came to life, they sang and danced, waving their arms, and the shouts of "Barcelona Barca" rang through the sky.

※ ※ ※

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

A problem he suddenly realized.

Liverpool's defense is their traditional strength, and in England they have used it to draw a lot of opponents.

but……

This trick does not seem to work in Barcelona.Because Barcelona's offense is so strong that Liverpool can't stand the shrinking defense!
Defensive counterattack doesn't seem to work.

Martin O'Neal stood on the sidelines and reflected.

He shouldn't have allowed the team to keep defending with the team leading by one goal, like it did in the first half.

Because he wanted to avoid the edge, he chose to defend.But the result of every defense is the same, that is, losing the ball.

This is not going to work... To be honest, the hero can score the goal in the second minute after the team loses the ball. It is due to luck. Can he put all his hopes on Chen Yingxiong and count on Chen Yingxiong to score goals again and again? To save the team?
Actually he could, but he didn't want to.

Because he is the head coach, he is responsible for the team's failures and victories. He can't just be a bystander, watching the players work hard, while he is just lining up before the game.

He decided to adjust the team's strategy.

From defensive counterattack to offensive.

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

Isn't it more than who scored more goals?Will Liverpool, who scored [-] league goals in a season, be afraid of you Barcelona?

※ ※ ※

The Barcelona players were celebrating the goal, and this time there was no sudden cheers from the Liverpool fans to spoil the situation.

While they were celebrating, Martin O'Neill called Gerrard down and explained the opportunity face to face.

Gerald nodded as he spoke.

When it was over, he patted Gerald on the shoulder, and Gerald led away.

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

"He let us attack boldly and show Barcelona our offensive strength!" After hearing Gerrard's words, Chen Yingxiong clenched his fists.

"I like!"

※ ※ ※

The morale of Barcelona, ​​​​which equalized the score, was greatly boosted, and Guardiola let out a sigh of relief watching from below.

For him, the game has finally returned to the right track, and the next step is the real contest between the two teams.

When Liverpool kicked off again, Barcelona still seemed very cautious, in stark contrast to their repeated bombing when they scored.

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

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

Everyone thought that the game would enter a stalemate again.Unexpectedly, the next game will make everyone's eyes shine!
Because Liverpool no longer just shrank in the backcourt to defend, they did not simply take advantage of an attack from the kick-off and retreat to defend, but continued to launch an offensive.

This move made the audience's eyes shine, but made Guardiola frown.

He was a little confused.

Liverpool actually set up a posture to attack Barcelona?
Did they think they didn't die fast enough?

Football all over the world knows that playing against Barcelona will not end well.Even Real Madrid led by Mourinho, which is considered to be at the same level as Barcelona, ​​dare not choose to attack Barcelona, ​​even in their own home stadium, the Bernabéu.

Playing against Barcelona means that their defense will have more gaps, and these gaps are Barcelona's favorite, and they can make full use of these gaps to score goals.

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

Because their offense can't be compared with Barcelona's, they can't even control the scene, so why talk about an equalizer?

But Liverpool in front of them wants to attack Barcelona!
Aren't they afraid that the space behind them will be used by Barcelona?

It stands to reason that Liverpool is also attacking, which is good news for Barcelona, ​​but Guardiola hesitated, as if a huge sum of money suddenly came out in front of him, without warning or reason, he Definitely wonder if this is a trap.

The Barcelona players on the pitch didn't think so much. They were delighted to find that Liverpool had come out to attack them - it was a good game.

They believed that Liverpool were stimulated by their two equalizers in a row, and wanted to score recklessly, score more goals, and leave them far behind.

But can you get rid of it?
While the Barcelona players mocked Liverpool for being overwhelmed with their offense, they were ready to make good use of the gaps behind them after the opponent pressed up.

※ ※ ※

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

But AC Milan must know.

They lost both rounds in Liverpool's devastating and powerful offensive frenzy.

But Guardiola did not study these two games, because he did not believe that anyone would dare to choose to press the attack when facing Barcelona.So these two games have no reference value at all.

He once fell into his own psychological misunderstanding, but this time he didn't realize it.

Now he can finally experience what it would be like for Liverpool to attack at full strength.

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

Originally, after the Barcelona players laughed at Liverpool's overreach, they planned to continue to attack and take advantage of the gaps behind Liverpool.

But now, the idea became their plan, and 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 seldom perform all kinds of inversions in the midfield. Their passes are all forward. Although the success rate is low, it feels like a tide. Wave after wave, layer after layer.

The offensive is like a wave, and it couldn't be more appropriate to describe Liverpool's offense.

Moreover, there is no shortage of long-range shooters in Liverpool's formation. They can threaten Barcelona's goal from a long distance.As long as there is a chance, anyone can take a long shot!
And the heads are pretty good.

All of a sudden, Valdés switched from high gear to low gear, making him very busy.

For seven or eight minutes, Barcelona's ball didn't make it past halftime!

This is a very rare scene.

It was not the same as the scene near the end of the first half. In the first half, it was Barcelona's subjective desire to shrink the defense, so that Liverpool could press the attack.But no one would think that Liverpool's attack power pushed Barcelona back.

It's different now, and now everyone is watching Barcelona try to counterattack from Liverpool's offensive again and again, but they just can't launch.It was as if Barcelona had been grabbed by Liverpool's head, pressed to the ground and beaten violently. They could only use their hands to parry and resist, and wanted to find time to fight back?There are no doors!
