532 3 minutes

The calm before the storm.

The beginning of the second half was indeed the calm before the storm.

For the first 10 minutes, it seemed flat.Barcelona's possession rate at this time reached an astonishing 80.00%.But only one shot.Because Barcelona are only there to hold the ball, basically crossing, and there is no deep pass.

Blackburn fans saw Barcelona keep pouring the ball in there, so they kept booing them.

Even the narrators yawned incessantly.

This game is so boring.

In the first half, although one defended and the other attacked.But the game at least has back and forth, and it's still fun to watch.

But look at the second half, where Barça poured the ball down and the Blackburn players didn't come up for it.

What are they doing?
But George on the sidelines did not dare to neglect at all.In the first half, George still sat firmly in his seat.But in the second half, George kept walking up and down the sidelines.Barcelona's hypnosis tactics started again.

Don't underestimate Barcelona's tossing and falling, making people sleepy.

Barcelona is using this method to make opposing players lose their vigilance.As long as there is such a moment, there is a loophole, and the Barcelona players will be able to find space.

So George kept yelling from the sidelines.

Keep the players focused.Don't be fooled by Barcelona's walking style of play.

But Barcelona's style of play is too tortured.Can't grab the ball, Barcelona is not in a hurry to score.Just outside kept tossing and falling, and finally made the Blackburn players almost lose their patience.Fortunately, Blackburn is leading now.

If Barcelona are leading, the Blackburn players must be crazy.

The game was in this atmosphere, and 10 minutes passed.Many people are wondering whether Barcelona really don't want to win the championship.Why don't you feel that they are in a hurry?
Just when everyone was wondering, Barcelona suddenly accelerated the pace.

Harvey took the ball and did not pass it to Busquets next to him as before.It was a direct pass to Iniesta on the left.

"...Iniesta... pass the ball, Henry..."

Without any breakthrough, Iniesta passed the ball directly to Henry's feet.Henry was just a transit point, and Henry didn't control the ball, but passed it back to Messi gently.

Messi is a genius, there is no doubt about it.

Messi's greatest ability is that he is very flexible in a small space.Because of the low center of gravity, it can constantly change directions in a small space.

If it is pleasing to the eye, Messi's breakthrough is really not as good as Ronaldinho.Ronaldinho plays football, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.You can't help but applaud him.And Messi's excellence is more direct.It is definitely not comparable to Ronaldinho in terms of viewing.

But the degree of threat, Messi is not worse than Ronaldinho.
When Messi got the ball, Essien next to him also came over.Although Messi has not shown much so far, Essien does not feel relaxed at all.Because Messi is more about controlling the ball and breaking through from Essien's side.

Messi is too flexible.

Essien has used his strong body many times to prevent Messi.

This time Essien is ready to repeat the same trick.Use your brutal body to knock Messi out.

Messi and Essien have fought against each other many times, and they know Essien very well.This is the lower back of the so-called "African buffalo", and its physical fitness is abnormal.Being hit by him once, the body will feel a faint pain.But in the same way, Messi also has a way to deal with him.

When Essien rushed up from the side, Messi gave way very lightly, led the ball to the right, and passed Essien.

Messi never thought about entangled with Essien.

After just showing a little gap, Messi suddenly started.With a simple collar, he got rid of Essien, who is known as the world's number one midfielder, as soon as he accelerated.After breaking through Essien, Alonso was seen.In the face of Alonso's interception, Messi is also a small disguise, breaking through Alonso from a narrow space.

"Messi, Messi...he passed Alonso. It was so easy, so easy."

Messi's breakthrough is the change in frequency.Small steps together, it is so simple to surpass others.

Alonso's defense is strong.But in front of Messi, it is like a wooden stake.

After passing Alonso, Messi did not stop.Continue to rush inside.Facing Lucio who came up, it was another smash.Messi's excellence is like this, constantly surpassing others in disguise.From Essien, Alonso to Lucio, they are all physically flexible players.

Several people defending flexible players will not suffer.But in front of Messi's excellence, he was embarrassed.

"Messi, he has already entered the penalty area... Facing Lucio, a dunk... Messi, shoot!"

"Messi! Messi! Messi!" The Catalan commentator shouted so excitedly for the first time in the whole game. "Messi, Messi who can do everything. Messi is king, he's the next one. Messi beat Blackburn's defense all by himself. Essien, Alonso, Lucio, in his It's like a clown in front of you."

"One to two, there are still 10 minutes left in the game. We still have time to equalize the score and overtake the score."

The Barcelona fans who were depressed throughout the game were also very excited.

"Messi! Messi!"

"Even if you put up a tortoise formation, you can't stop Messi."

"Messi is king! Long live Messi!"

Pep Guardiola went crazy from their bench to the Blackburn bench with his hands up.Then ran back again.

George kicked the mineral water bottle under his feet angrily.

The mineral water bottle jumped high and fell next to the referee Busaka.Busacca looked at the sidelines and found that George was cursing there, so he smiled and shook his head.He didn't say anything, just kicked the bottle out of the court again.

"If it hit Busacca, would Busacca give George a red card?"

The Catalan commentator, in a good mood, teased George a bit.

After scoring a goal, the confidence of Barcelona's players also improved.I don't think it's a big problem to win against Blackburn.The depressed mood of being hit by two goals in the first half was swept away.

Re-kick-off, Barcelona speed up.

It may be that the goal stimulated the Barcelona players.They suddenly became hideous.

The passing speed is accelerated and the running is also active.And after changing the tepid look in the second half, almost all the players began to press up.They want to resolve the fight as quickly as possible.

As a result, more passes were made into Blackburn's penalty area.For a while, Blackburn's defensive players were in a hurry.

One minute after the re-kick-off, Barcelona once again passed the ball into Blackburn's penalty area.Henry stepped forward to head the ball, but as a super striker, Henry's header is a shortcoming.Kompany outplayed Henry with a header that sent the ball out of the box.

Seeing the ball went out of the penalty area, Essien made a big-footed clearance.This is a completely aimless clearance ball.

The ball flew high and flew all the way to the midfield.

"Essien, clearance... Drogba, Drogba, header."

There is only one person in the frontcourt, and that is Drogba.It was still Pique who looked at Drogba.Pique is not short, even four centimeters taller than Drogba.But the control of the high-altitude ball, few defenders in the world can compare with Drogba.

Drogba leaps high, rubs the ball back, and the ball goes over the midfield.

Following Drogba's header, a tall figure flew past Pique.

"Kaka, this is Kaka!" Martin Taylor stood up instantly.Because it is Kaka who runs fast from the middle. "Kaka, his speed is amazing, he has already surpassed Puyol."

Puyol followed Pique and defended Drogba together.

The position is behind Pique.After Drogba headed the ball, the running back was ready to control the ball.But he didn't expect that there would be such a perverted player as Kaka behind him.It was not until Valdes reminded that Puyol discovered Kaka.

Puyol accelerated, but unfortunately he was unable to prevent Kaka.

Kaka surpassed Puyol in an instant.

"Kaka, it's already one-handed. No one can stop Kaka, how will Kaka choose?"

Kaka single-handedly.

After Puyol, there was no one in the entire Barcelona half.Only Valdez remained.Seeing Kaka coming directly to the goal, Valdes could only abandon the goal and prepare to stop Kaka.

Seeing Valdés rushing up, Kaka picked it up lightly, the ball drew a beautiful arc, passed over Valdez's head, and then entered the goal.

"Kaka, Kaka scored twice. This is a lob, a beautiful lob. Kaka told people with his wonderful performance that he is currently the best player in world football."

"Three minutes, three minutes from Messi's goal, Blackburn re-extended the advantage to two goals. Kaka, Kaka made Messi's goal useless. Three to one, Kaka scored Locked up the Champions League."

"There are only 10 minutes left in the game. Can Barcelona equalize? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Three minutes can make the scene of the game take a sharp turn."

Yes, just 3 minutes.

From Messi's goal to Kaka's goal, it was only 3 minutes apart.

Barcelona fell from heaven to hell in 3 minutes. 3 minutes ago, Messi's goal made them full of confidence.At that time, both Barcelona players and fans believed that they would be able to equalize the score, or even overtake the score.But after 3 minutes, they can only be disappointed.

The Catalan commentator, who was still in high spirits just now, also lost his voice.

Kaka's goal made Barcelona completely lose confidence.Another gap of two balls.Is there any hope?

Now the Barcelona players are a little confused and don't know what to do.

Attack is definitely going to attack.But how should we attack?There is really nothing they can do.Blackburn's counterattack was too sharp.

They all looked to Guardiola on the sidelines.It's a pity that Guardiola was even more distraught at this time.As a young coach, it can be said that it is quite an outstanding achievement to coach the team to the Champions League final for the first time.

But inexperienced, he still performed incisively and vividly in the game.

Facing the sudden change, some were at a loss.
