Barcelona's adjustment caught Liverpool a little off guard.

Guardiola was a little relieved on the sidelines, and his confidence in the team was rekindled.

After constantly trying how to limit Liverpool's counterattack, after using various methods, it seems that they have finally found the correct password.

Liverpool itself is a dense defense, with a delayed formation, dense midfielders, and narrow space. When Barcelona is more oppressive and takes targeted counter-attacks, it is difficult for Gerrard or Alonso to send the ball accurately. At the feet of Qin Xiong or Torres.

After the pass is slightly deviated, the result of the pass will be completely different.

Qin Xiong and Torres stayed in the midfield for a long time, but they couldn't wait for the good opportunities from their teammates. They ran very frequently without the ball, but Barcelona's defensive system in the midfield also adjusted with the team, and the positioning area formed a zone defense. , making Qin Xiong and Torres seem to be running in a cage, but it is difficult to find a free space.

Barcelona began to constantly threaten Liverpool's goal with shots.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Messi ran laterally in front of the penalty area to receive a pass from Yaya Toure. He volleyed directly without stopping the ball, and the football deviated from the goal.

Three minutes later, Ibrahimovic hit the wall with Iniesta in front of the penalty area and then went forward to grab a shot. The shot from the near corner was saved by Reina who blocked the near post.

When the 32nd minute of the game came, Yaya Toure suddenly advanced to the front of the penalty area. He drove into Liverpool's defensive fortress like a tank, and then used his big body to squeeze away Lucas. The ball was delivered to his feet.

Yaya - Toure and then resisted Alonso obliquely plug the ball into the left side of the penalty area.

Iniesta cut forward behind Johnson and cut into the penalty area close to the baseline. He swept the ball directly behind the goal after receiving Yaya Toure's oblique plug.

When the football rolled past the goal, Carragher held Ibrahimovic and failed to let Ibrahimovic form a spot in front of the goal.

But at the point behind the goal, Skrtel was a step too late trying to tackle the ball out of the baseline, watching the ball slip past his eyes.And his toes were only a little short of reaching the football.

Aurelio lost to Messi in the fight for speed. After all, he had to turn around, and Messi's sprint speed directly inside was unmatched.

Messi faced Liverpool's half-empty goal and neatly pushed the ball into the goal with his left foot!

The Camp Nou finally sounded a passionate cry after a long absence.

Barcelona fans seem to see hope after seeing Messi score!

Guardiola also nodded fiercely on the sidelines, and then applauded while telling the players to retreat to the half court to prepare for the kick-off.

After Messi scored a goal and rushed into the goal, his expression was always turbulent.It seems that the goal did not bring him joy, because now Barcelona is racing against time!

"Messi! Messi got one back for Barcelona! An assist from Iniesta.

Barcelona seems to have found a way how to conquer Liverpool's defensive fortress, that is Yaya Toure, he is the most physical confrontation ability among Barcelona midfielders, he can hold the ball when he enters the frontcourt, which is not as physical as Liverpool players downwind.Then he can pass a good kick, allowing Barcelona's offense to continue!

This ball is like this, Yaya - Toure's pass to Iniesta is very beautiful, only then has Iniesta's assist, Messi easily breaks the goal! "

Indeed, Guardiola still has ideas about the tactical arrangements for this game, and Yaya Toure is indeed a key part.

After Barcelona solved the defense.The attack will be able to play the expected effect!

The Liverpool generals felt tricky, and so did Koeman.

After Gerrard and Alonso were restricted, Torres and Qin Xiong could not get support in the frontcourt, so Liverpool's offense would be abolished!

Before tee off.The generals of Liverpool communicated.

Qin Xiong stood with Alonso and Gerrard. Gerrard suggested: "How about I stand higher? There will be more space in the midfield."

Alonso shook his head and said: "In that case, the midfielder may lose power completely. Today's midfield confrontation is completely different from the last game."

Qin Xiong nodded in agreement with what he said.

Compared with the previous game, the hardness of Barcelona's midfield has definitely risen to a level today.

And once Gerrard can't provide the hardness of the midfield confrontation, it is very likely that Barcelona will have an overall advantage, let alone counterattack the ball.Maybe he didn't even have a chance to counterattack, but was completely suppressed by Barcelona!

After thinking for a while, Qin Xiong said: "Let's try another way of thinking, don't deliberately pursue the ground pass. Let's go to the sky."

In normal times, Qin Xiong's proposal would not be adopted by everyone.Because the ground pass is more accurate, it also makes it easier for the offensive player to handle the ball.

But in today's game environment, maybe passing the ball high-altitude and hitting high will have better results.

Because even though Barcelona's defensive players in the midfield are blocking Qin Xiong and Torres, after all, Barcelona wants to attack, the number of defensive players in the backcourt is small, and there is a lot of space, while Torres and Qin Xiong both have speed. The probability of success in grabbing the landing point.

Gerrard and Alonso nodded in agreement.

Liverpool adjusted themselves and kicked off again.

After the kick-off, Qin Xiong tried to push the offense, but was submerged under the defensive pincers of Yaya Toure, Butzkes and Alves.

He was blocked by Alves when he tried to score the ball. The referee decided that Qin Xiong lost control of the ball, and Puyol took the initiative to run to control the ball. Alves' blocking of Qin Xiong did not constitute Foul, which made Qin Xiong feel a little helpless, but there was no protest.

In a positional battle, it is simply whimsical for him to want to overthrow Barcelona's defense line in one go.

Barcelona became more and more courageous and continued their oppressive attack.

In the 39th minute of the game, Yaya Toure rushed to the front of the penalty area again.

This time Lucas decisively took a tackle defensive action.

Since physical confrontation can't do Yaya Toure, let's be more ruthless!

Lucas' tackle forced Yaya Toure to deflect the ball and he was tackled by Alonso just after the deflection.

Yaya Toure counterattacked immediately after losing the ball. As soon as Alonso took control of the ball, he felt the pressure brought by Yaya Toure's collision with his body. While trying to maintain his body balance, Alonso watched When he got to where Gerrard was, he immediately passed the ball to Gerrard.

Gerrard had already thought about the half-court with his back facing Barcelona. After stopping the ball, he half-turned and immediately drove the ball forward. The routine was the same as Reina's big-footed clearance to create a chance for Qin Xiong.

But just after stopping the ball, someone poked it away from behind him!

Gerald was shocked! (to be continued~^~)
