The situation at the Stade de France changed suddenly.

Arsenal, who are leading the score, have to play more with less.

And the goalkeeper position is still replaced by the second goalkeeper who cannot be trusted by everyone.

Barcelona fans surged with boundless confidence in the stands.

11 against 10, you can win!

Barcelona takes a direct free kick slightly outside the penalty area.

Ronaldinho used too much force in order to make the shot go around the wall that was a little close. The football went around the wall, but there was no room for it to fall, and the football was kicked above the crossbar.

Next, Arsenal frequently encountered Barcelona's crazy offensive.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Ronaldinho made a direct pass to Eto'o from the frontcourt. Eto'o, who was holding the ball behind his back, swung his right foot horizontally. The semi-single-handed trend made his shooting angle smaller, and he couldn't complete the shot with his dominant foot.

But the quality of the volley he forcibly completed with his left foot was extremely high, and he went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Almunia made a save to block the ball. It can be seen that he was a little nervous when he was ordered to be in danger, and he couldn't fully hug Football is also not firm enough to block.

After the football was refracted, it hit the goal post and bounced back into the penalty area. Toure, who ran back, kicked the ball directly out of the baseline.

Barcelona took a corner kick and was cleared by Campbell with a header. Qin Xiong, who unloaded the ball with his chest in front of the penalty area, realized that he was surrounded by Barcelona players in all directions.

Henry caught his clearance right in midfield and then single-handedly charged into Barcelona's half.

Despite shaking Oleg.However, when he came to the penalty area, Henry found that there was no one around him to respond, and he dared not rush to the opponent's defense line. He chose a long shot from [-] yards from the goal.

This long-range shot was a bit outrageous, and the anti-aircraft gun was fired directly.

It can be seen that after Arsenal's drastic changes in the situation, the psychological state of the whole team has had a negative impact, which will affect their performance on the field.

Fortunately, the first half is coming to an end.They will be given an adjustment period.

In the first half of the game, Deco's long-range shot was changed by Silva with a sliding tackle, destroyed the sideline and reached the end.

Players from both teams walked into the locker room as if they were preoccupied.

What Barcelona has to think about is how to score goals, while Arsenal needs to worry about more things.

Is it safe to lead by a ball?

Let alone beating one less person, even if the number of people is balanced, it is not safe.

But how to limit Barcelona's offense, plus how to be efficient in offense, is something they must think about carefully.

In the locker room, Lehman, who was sent off, looked at everyone helplessly.Then sit in a corner silently.

Pires, who was replaced, seemed to be in a state of grief.Closed himself like an abandoned orphan.

Teammates have no time to sympathize or comfort them.

Wenger also seized the time to speak to the whole team, so that everyone cheered up, stabilized their minds and did not panic.

At the same time, start to formulate offensive and defensive strategies for the second half.

The players listened carefully to Wenger's adjustments.

In fact, the defensive strategy is very simple, 7 people defend, Ljungberg retreats to strengthen the defense of the midfield, and then the offense relies on Qin Xiong and Henry.

Fabregas is playing cards in the midfield, and Qin Xiong and Henry can switch roles at any time.

before the start of the second half.Henry, as the captain, encouraged everyone to work hard in the second half and work hard until the last minute!

Regardless of success or failure, we must do our best!

In the second half, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

The cheering sound of the Arsenal fans in the stands was already a little pathetic. They could have supported the team a little more easily, because although Barcelona had the upper hand on the scene, Arsenal's offensive was more efficient.

It's different now, how long can Arsenal fight against Barcelona, ​​who is engulfed by thousands of miles, with one less player?

"The second half of the game is about to start. Barcelona coach Rijkaard first made an active substitution, and the teenager Iniesta came on to replace the midfielder Edmilson. This is a signal to strengthen the offense."

Iniesta enters, Edmilson exits.

Barcelona played one less player according to Arsenal's situation.Made a fairly satisfactory substitution adjustment.

However, Arsenal have stabilized their emotions through the intermission and are mentally prepared to deal with such a situation.

In the second half, Barcelona's offensive will inevitably become more violent!

The reason why a strong team is a strong team must have a stronger comprehensive psychological quality.

Barcelona did not rashly launch indiscriminate bombing in the second half. In fact, everyone knows how threatening the offensive pressure on the scene is. In fact, everyone knows it well.

They are actively shaping the situation with their numerical advantage, and then patiently create opportunities, as if ignoring the lagging score, firmly believing that they can reverse Arsenal in the remaining time, even if they cannot reverse within 90 minutes, as long as they equalize The score, the further the game goes, even if it enters overtime, Barcelona will be the more dominant side, unless it is dragged to a penalty shootout.

Wenger made a mistake in his technical and tactical adjustments during the halftime break.

The midfielder's desire to rely on the Ljungberg-Cesc Fabregas-Silva three-man defensive line to contain Barcelona's offensive, this idea may have been realized in the first half.

However, after the appearance of Iniesta, an offensive player, in the second half, Arsenal obviously had an irresistible posture in the midfield.

Iniesta's flexible ball control skills are strong at the feet, especially he is also a rare team player who understands the essence of La Masia's team philosophy.

In the 51st minute of the game, Iniesta and Ronaldinho switched positions in the frontcourt and rushed into Fabregas' defense zone. The two players from La Masia had an offensive and defensive duel on the field. Si fell behind in defense, after all, Iniesta is more mature than him, even if Iniesta is far from reaching his peak.

Fabregas was confused by Iniesta's fake pass and lost his defensive position. Iniesta rushed over from the front. Fortunately, Qin Xiong smashed from behind diagonally and destroyed the football at Iniesta's feet. , it did not lead to a catastrophe.

The knock-on effect of Wenger's misadjustment in the midfield was that the more pressure Cesc Fabregas suffered, the more players had to fill his defence.

Originally, it was for Qin Xiong and Henry to launch a fast break and counterattack with both arrows.

Now Qin Xiong was also dragged in the backcourt. Although he took the initiative to participate in the defense, it was the conclusion he drew from reading the game that prompted him to do so.

Otherwise, Arsenal's defense is in jeopardy!

He frequently fills up in the midfield and assists in defense. Naturally, when there is a counterattack opportunity, he can't, and he doesn't dare to rush to the front line to attack rashly.

It must be considered that if the offense fails, he will not be able to fill in and assist in the defense, so Arsenal's defense will be defeated by Barcelona at any time! (to be continued~^~)
