In the subsequent matches in the first half, Zhen Shaolong didn’t feel very good, and there were two helpless things—

First, I am very depressed by being defended.

Second, Messi performed poorly.

Since the goal from the beginning of the center circle to the goal, Barcelona has greatly strengthened his defense against him. When Newcastle United attacked head-on, he had two players outside the penalty area, and was "sieged" by three people for a long time when he arrived in the penalty area.

That treatment...

Zhen Shaolong thought of Zhou Xingxing's Kung Fu football movie, and the scene where the protagonist was surrounded by several players holding hands. He never thought that he could enjoy such treatment. The difference was that the other party was not "shameless" and surrounded by hand.

But it's also very depressed!

No one can do anything against this kind of defense. Zhen Shaolong feels that he is very special, very special because he has a way. For example, if Messi performs well, accumulate more breakthrough effects in "Forced Copy", and he may be able to rush up and throw away the defense.

Unfortunately, no.

Messi's performance was not good in the subsequent time.

"Maybe Messi's mentality has been affected? Is it too shocking for me?"

"It should be so, but there is nothing we can do!"

"I am taller than him, more handsome than him, more popular than him... I play football better than him, and he was hit in all aspects..."

Zhen Shaolong sighed regretfully, "I wouldn't encourage him if I had known it! I encouraged him several times, and it was useless at all. His mentality was so bad!"

He was depressed and had no choice.

In the subsequent time of the first half, he was defended tightly for most of the time and had no performance at all.

The midfield is here.

The score in the first half was 1-3, with the home team in front and the away team in back, and Barcelona fell behind by two goals at home.

This is not something Barcelona can accept.

Barcelona is one of the most brilliant teams in Europe. They are in their prime, not only able to play beautiful football, but also able to easily defeat their opponents to win.

Barcelona players also have their own pride, and they are all big stars when they come up with them alone.

Even Henry, who has won the Premier League scorer king in succession, is just an ordinary player when he comes to Barcelona, ​​and it is not easy to ensure the main position.

This is the powerful Barcelona.

The stadium where the game is located is called Camp Nou. There is no need to talk about how brilliant the Camp Nou has. As a soccer holy place in Catalonia, Barcelona will feel that they can easily defeat their opponents when they play here.

Barcelona only accepts victory at Camp Nou, and it is difficult to accept a draw at halftime, let alone two goals behind in the halftime.

shame!

A great shame and humiliation!

Barcelona players were thinking about the game and had no choice but to "shame". The opponent was leading by strength and could not even have any luck in the middle.

The first two goals are entirely personal performance. Barcelona's defense line cannot defend against the opponent. What else can they do?

Not as skilled as human!

Very helpless.

They all felt convinced.

No matter what, the failure didn't feel very good. Every player walked into the locker room with his head down. They were in a little depressed and were confused about the subsequent games.

This situation shouldn't have happened to Barcelona.

Barcelona!

One of the most powerful teams in Europe.

Every player in the team is a top star, they have the best strength and rich experience.

What does half-time failure count?

However, Zhen Shaolong's performance was too shocking, especially the second goal, which kicked off the ball and ran wildly, breaking through the ball and hitting the ball in front of the goal.

If Barcelona players were asked to give a comment, they all wanted to ask, "Is this a human?"

"We're not a different species, are we?"

certainly.

Just a joke.

The stronger the star, the more shocked he is to Zhen Shaolong's performance, because they will know how difficult it is to complete that goal.

Messi, Xavi and others, who are good at breaking through, are even more so.

They are the most shocking.

This psychological shock also directly affects performance. On the contrary, some defenders are not good at attacking. They only know that the opponent is very powerful and know that they need to conduct strict control, and their condition has not been greatly affected.

Head coach Guardiola was also in a heavy mood. He knew that the score was not blamed on the players. It was because the opponent's performance was too good. He broke through the goal in the middle circle. Not to mention ordinary players, he felt very shocked and doubted whether he could defeat such an opponent. But as the team's head coach, he had to remain rational.

He doesn't want to lose.

The Champions League match is so important, especially the Camp Nou game. Losing is not only the points lost, but also the face of Barcelona and Camp Nou.

For a top wealthy family, the latter is even more important than the former.

When all the players returned to the locker room, Guardiola said to the players, "I know, the opponent performed well, yes, no one can deny it."

"That's so shocking!"

"I started the ball in the middle circle and broke through to the goal. Not to mention you, I was surprised. I have never encountered such an opponent in my career..."

"But he can't always perform so well!"

"That's only once a while!"

Guardiola said, "He is indeed very good, so outstanding that it is difficult to understand, but you should pay attention. He only scored two goals. Most of the time, he couldn't get the connection ball, so our defense is still useful."

"Now we are just two goals behind, and are there two goals a lot?"

"We have enough time to get it back!"

Guardiola's words brought the players back to their senses.

That's true!

No matter how powerful the opponent is, he only scored two goals, and it is impossible for him to continue to perform so well.

As a top star, there are always times when they perform very well. For example, Messi and Messi have also scored very exciting goals, breaking through three consecutive people, and they are all visible performances from breaking through the halftime to before the goal.

The other party's performance was just more amazing.

Many players figured it out.

So what if the opponent is so powerful? He is just a player.

In addition, they are all professional players, the top professional players. Professional players are professions to play football. Even if they do not consider the outcome of the game, they must try their best to perform on the court.

This is the sports ethics of professional players.

Next, Guardiola pointed out the points that need to be paid attention to in the first half, such as the forward pass was a bit hasty, such as the backcourt defense was too focused on Zhen Shaolong, giving other opponents the opportunity.

Then.

Guardiola is considering a substitution.

In professional football games, substitutions are very important means. Those players who perform poorly and are in poor condition are replaced and others come on as substitutes may be able to perform well.

This is also a healthy competition within the team.

Guardiola decided to let Etoo play. Etoo was average in the winger position and basically did not contribute to the offense. It would be wasted if you occupy a position.

Guardiola is not dissatisfied with Etoo. Everyone knows the reason for Etoo's poor performance - the position, Etoo is a little uncomfortable with playing the winger.

But that's the case with the team.

After Henry joined last season, Etoo O was affected by injury, so Henry quickly occupied the center position. His performance was no worse than Etoo O. The forward's goal efficiency and restraint strength have brought great help to the team.

This season, Etoo's health has recovered, but it is impossible for him to replace Henry directly if he wants to play, because Henry still performs very stably, and even showed higher efficiency as he adapted a season.

So Etoo was a little embarrassed.

Many players speculated that the situation had not changed again, and Etoo may leave the team after the end of the season. After all, he is also the world's top striker and cannot be willing to play as a substitute.

Guardiola chose to let Iniesta replace Etoo.

Iniesta is a genius from the La Macia youth training camp. He frequently plays for Barcelona at the age of 18 and has started playing the main player at the age of 20. He is a skilled player with very strong assist ability and has always had a tacit understanding with Messi.

Etoo's journey belongs to Iniesta, so it is natural to let Iniesta appear.

Then.

Guardiola looked at Messi, "Do you want to replace Messi?" He was thinking about whether to replace Messi with a protective attitude.

The outside media have compared Messi and Zhen Shaolong. Judging from the performance of the game, the two cannot compare at all. Messi's mentality in the second half was affected and his performance was greatly affected.

"Swap it?"

"Not changing?"
