Just as Messi was upset about Zhang Tiehan's goal, Barcelona players were also very upset. They felt very unwilling to give up on the goal, and some players secretly blamed Messi.︾

They attacked for a long time!

The situation of the game was under their feet, what was the result? The opponent scored a goal ahead of them, and this feeling was really frustrating.

Rijkald also had a headache.

He was wondering if he needed to make some adjustments and add a defensive midfielder, otherwise the opponent's No. 9 would be too difficult to deal with.

Barcelona lost to the opponent's Zhang Tiehan last season. Now this is the case, and he feels very frustrated. He is not afraid of the whole Chelsea, but only afraid of Zhang Tiehan's explosion.

This player can no longer be judged by common sense.

In fact, in the summer, Rijcard also considered letting Barcelona participate in Zhang Tiehan's competition. If he had such a player under his command, Rijcard felt that Barcelona would be invincible in the whole universe... But in the end, Barcelona has no competitiveness at all. Yes, no competitiveness, because Barcelona cannot afford so many transfer fees, which will directly collapse their economy unless the board of directors is willing to increase investment in the club. However, it also means that Barcelona will not make any profits in the next two years, unless they can really achieve the best results, and the best results may have more benefits, but the board of directors will definitely not pass this resolution. After all, Barcelona's board of directors does not care about money like Abramovich. After all, they are all a group of businessmen. Even if they like Barcelona, ​​they are businessmen. Businessmen will not make 90% losses.

So Rijkald had to give up Zhang Tiehan.

This is so helpless that he has to face Zhang Tiehan now. He originally thought that Barcelona was a little better than last season. It is already difficult for Zhang Tiehan, a player, to decide what, but now Rijcard found that this idea is wrong. Players who can score goals still have the ability to decide the outcome of a game.

There are many stars in Barcelona, ​​but there are not one like Zhang Tiehan...

Rijkald was helpless sitting in the coaching seat. The game between the two teams has started again.

Barcelona players are still very fighting spirit. Although Zhang Tiehan's goal made them feel depressed, they were only one to zero. The first half has not ended, and there is still a lot of time left for them.

After the game started again, Barcelona quickly relied on their strong strength and cooperation to control the situation.

Although Barcelona fell behind in the score, they played without rushing to score goals. Instead, they increased the pass and increased the ball control. They controlled the football firmly under their feet and held the situation firmly in their hands.

Chelsea originally planned to take advantage of the goal's morale to launch a counterattack for several waves, but they were soon suppressed by Barcelona.

Rijcard's advice to the players is to control the ball more. As long as you control the situation on the court, scoring goals is a matter of time. The key is that you cannot give Chelsea a chance. Otherwise, it will be too difficult to equalize the score. Although Chelsea seems passive in the game against Barcelona, ​​it is not easy to break through their goal.

Barcelona is quite confident about ball possession.

Their decades of inheritance have been playing similar tactics, no matter how many coaches change or how many players change. Their football style has never changed. Now their strength has reached a peak, and falling behind by one ball is not the end of the day for them.

When Barcelona regained control of the game, Chelsea played hard, and it was not easy for them to find opportunities to counterattack. If it weren't for a quick counterattack, it was just a normal advancement. It was very difficult for Chelsea to hit the ball into the penalty area. More opportunities were just to have a long shot outside the penalty area. However, not everyone in Chelsea is Zhang Tiehan, and this kind of shooting was almost no different from wasting opportunities.

During the counterattack, Zhang Tiehan was defended by the opponent very much.

He always follows two defenders, and Barcelona's defense is targeting him. It is not easy for him to get rid of the defender's defense to find opportunities. As a result, Chelsea did not have any threatening goals in the first half of the game, but fortunately Barcelona did not score either.

......

The first half was very difficult for Chelsea, but the result was good. Chelsea led Barcelona with one goal, so everyone was in a good mood when they returned to the locker room during the break at halftime.

Zhang Tiehan also had a smile on his face. He scored the only goal in the first half, and he had enough reason to be happy.

Head coach Grant was worried about the game situation, but that had nothing to do with him. Tactical and style of play are what the head coach should consider, and he didn't need to worry about it.

At this time, the commentator of Stamford Bridge Stadium summarized the first half on the radio. "Chelsea led by one goal in the first half, but their situation was not optimistic. Barcelona controlled the scene, but controlled the goal. There were still many suspense in the game, but we can expect the second half to be a wonderful game."

At the same time, Grant is also considering the game.

In the end, he decided to add a defensive player and a striker, otherwise the game would be really difficult. After all, Barcelona's offense is too threatening, and it is necessary to increase defense. And even if the team's offensive ability is increased, it is really difficult for the team to compete head-on with Barcelona.

But he didn't say it directly, just praised everyone, "Everyone did a good job in the first half!"

Leading with one goal is no matter how good it is.

The players gathered together and listened to what Grant continued to say, but Grant changed his voice, "But a goal is dangerous, they will definitely continue to attack in the second half, we must defend well, and at the same time, Zhang..."

Zhang Tiehan was named.

Grant looked at him and continued, "You want to find an opportunity to put pressure on their defense, which can also relieve our defensive burden."

Zhang Tiehan nodded.

Next, Grant said to everyone, "We must play more patiently in the second half, especially at the beginning, we must stabilize the defense, they will definitely strengthen their offense and want to equalize the score, as long as we can withstand the pressure. They will appear impatient after time, and then it will be our opportunity. I believe that victory will eventually belong to us!"

Grant has already considered it and wants to strengthen the defense.

If you can't fight against Barcelona head-on, you can only choose to defend. Otherwise, even if the team has a goal advantage, it will be very difficult to win.

Barcelona cannot be said to be the best team in the world to score goals, but they must be the best team to control the situation. They use constant passes and catches to control the ball. Once such a style of play breaks out, it will be really terrible.

The team must defend well!

This is the basis for winning. As long as you defend well, you can consider offense and other things.

......

When the two teams returned to the stadium, it was obvious that the Barcelona players' mental state was much better than when they were out. Obviously, Rijcard must have said something to them.

Grant repeatedly emphasized that Barcelona must be careful of Barcelona's attack at the opening game. Everyone remembered it in their hearts. Seeing the mental state of Barcelona players, they became much more alert.

At the same time, when thinking about Barcelona's attack in the first half, everyone felt more or less pressure. The outside media said that Chelsea and Barcelona were the two strongest teams in the world. Their Champions League championship also had the lowest odds, which means they were both favored by fans, but after the first half of the game, Chelsea players all knew that Barcelona was really outrageous. They were still a little worse than the other side, at least in terms of overall cooperation and tactics, there was a big gap with the opponent, otherwise they would not be so passive.

Thinking of this, they felt a little stressed.

Zhang Tiehan is an alternative, he didn't feel any pressure. Instead, he was looking forward to breaking Barcelona's goal again - breaking the goal of such a strong team, the feeling is different from breaking the goal of a small team!

So what if you are strong, I can still score a goal!

That's what Zhang Tiehan thought.

Especially when head coach Grant asked him to pay attention to the offense, he naturally knew what it meant. In fact, when playing for Wigan Athletics, he often encountered this situation. The whole team was defending, and he was looking for opportunities in the frontcourt alone.

He knows what to do.

That is to try hard to find opportunities. Barcelona cannot make mistakes in the whole game. As long as they make mistakes, it is an opportunity. All he has to do is seize the opportunity.

......

After halftime, Barcelona players were quite confident that they believed that the collective strength was higher than the individual, and Rijcard also instilled in them this idea, "They only have one number nine, and the others played scattered, and we are a team, we are Barcelona!"

"As long as you play according to the tactics, I don't believe we will score fewer goals than him!"

This is what Rijkaard said.

This statement won the consent of the players, especially Messi. He felt that Rijkald's words made sense. Yes, although I personally failed with him 1v1, we were originally a team, I have teammates, and he often only played alone.

Yes, alone.

So no matter what, exerting the strength of the whole team can always defeat him!

Perhaps more importantly, Messi was a little scared of Zhang Tiehan's defense... He now feels that he will have a shadow in his heart when he dribbled the ball against Zhang Tiehan. He always intercepted the ball three times in the first half, which still made Messi feel worried.

Zhang Tiehan didn't know that he had a big blow to Messi.

But what he knew was that Barcelona performed very well in the second half. Their offense was too fierce. He was just one person. Barcelona was a team. They confirmed this with their performance and knocked on Chelsea's door less than five minutes into the second half.

“gooooooooooooal!!!!!!”

"Messi! Messi! He scored a goal to equalize Barcelona! This goal is quite beautiful. He swept past Terry and calmly faced the goalkeeper in front of the goal. He scored the ball with a low shot!"

"Messi's mistake in the first half gave Zhang a chance and scored the first goal with a counterattack. Now Messi makes up for the mistake he made and he helped the team score a key goal!"

“Beautiful job!”

After scoring the goal, Messi was quite happy. He hugged his teammates frantically. This was a goal against Chelsea in the Champions League, and it was still very precious to him now.

He recalled his feelings in the second half and thought he was right - yes, the opponent's No. 9 is very strong, but the collective strength is higher than that of the individual. We are Barcelona, ​​we are a team, so what if the opponent is alone?

Other Barcelona players have similar ideas, which, although not so clear, cannot stop them from cheering for the goal.

This goal came at a very time.

After equalizing the score, the next game will be much easier, and they have more confidence in victory.

They believe that the game is in control and the balance of victory has been tilted towards them.

On the other hand, Zhang Tiehan stood in the middle circle with the football in his arms, looking at Barcelona's goal, shook his head secretly. Barcelona's offense was indeed very strong, and he had no choice but to score.

But the game is not over yet!

Barcelona still have a chance, Chelsea also has a chance, and importantly, he still has a chance!
Chapter completed!
