Newcastle United has a ball lead, which is still easy in terms of scores, but most players' expressions are not relaxed, and they feel the difficulty and fatigue of the game.

They have always been passive.

There are statistics in the media for the first half. Barcelona's possession rate is as high as 78%, more than three times that of Newcastle United, and even nearly four times. Their direct attacks, attacks into the penalty area and shots are much higher than Newcastle United. The players on the field feel much more sensitive than the cold numbers. They just feel that they have been defending and it is difficult to gain something if they occasionally make a counterattack.

really.

They had two goals.

However, both goals were Zhen Shaolong's personal performance, and they had little to do with the cooperation of the entire team.

The feeling of being suppressed during the game is not very good, and the players are not in a heavy mood. They are still very much looking forward to it. If they can persevere and not allow Barcelona to score a goal, they will truly stand at the top of Europe and win the highest collective honor for the club.

That was a great moment!

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the Barcelona locker room was very heavy, and their game seemed relaxed, but the gap in scores was more sad than the situation, because football matches were determined by the scores. No matter how beautiful the game was, the cooperation was smooth, and even if it was played, it would be meaningless if everyone was surprised.

Barcelona scored only one goal.

In fact, most Barcelona players were not surprised. They experienced the difficulty of Newcastle United's defense in the game. Almost all their energy was on defense, and they did not open the lineup at all, and they were completely like a dead-end posture.

Faced with this kind of defense, no matter how exquisite the cooperation is, it loses its meaning.

Barcelona kept passing the ball from the outside, but the opponent was definitely prepared. The midfielder would not rush out easily. No matter how long they controlled it, the opponent could not watch from behind.

"This kind of defense...it's good to score goals!"

Many people think so.

However, the most helpless thing is not the opponent's defense, but the opponent's concentration and full defense, while the opponent scored two goals in the frontcourt, which was even more efficient than theirs.

"How to fight this?"

"We can't defend against Zhen Shaolong..."

"If the offensive is strengthened... Zhen Shaolong will have a chance..."

What even ordinary players can see can be seen by head coach Guardiola. He felt that in the last time of the first half, the team's defense performed very well. When Newcastle United launched an attack, Zhen Shaolong had to retreat very far behind if he wanted to get the ball, and was basically in a position that would not pose a threat to the goal. At the same time, Barcelona still controlled the ball most of the ball and could occasionally find opportunities to threaten it.

This situation is beneficial to Barcelona, ​​and they almost won but failed.

but……

Barcelona is the backward side!

If Guardiola knew that playing like this would be very stable before the game, Guardiola would definitely keep the team going. It would be best if the whole game was playing steadily, not leaving any chance for the opponent, but half time passed and the opponent was already ahead of the score.

"How to change..."

Guardiola thought carefully and found that there was nothing to adjust. The team's performance was pretty good, but Zhen Shaolong performed too well, and continuing to stabilize the defense could limit Zhen Shaolong's performance, and the team's chances were not small.

so……

"Look at it for a while!"

Guardiola shook his head and did not make major adjustments, but only explained some minor issues that need to be paid attention to during defense and offense in the first half.

When the two teams were resting in the locker room, the stadium was still very lively. Nearly 100,000 fans could make a lot of noise at will, and some fans in the midfield did not forget to continue shouting to cheer.

The feeling of the rostrum is obvious.

Ashley talked with the UEFA official next to him, turned his head to look at the fans in the stands around him, and then looked at the scoreboard on the field - 2:1.

He was very satisfied.

After halftime, Newcastle United led by one goal, and the chance of winning was still very high.

"If you can win, you will win the European championship!"

"At that time, Newcastle United will be the king of Europe... I have only been the chairman of two seasons, and the team has won two league championships, and this season is still the treble champion..." Asheri thought of various championship honors, and couldn't help but feel a huge sense of accomplishment in his heart. He immediately swept at Laporta with disdainful eyes, "This guy is said to be very successful too? But Barcelona is a European giant, and winning the championship is nothing, let alone, they are about to lose."

Ashli ​​had full confidence because he believed in Zhen Shaolong.

but……

After this game, Zhen Shaolong will leave for Real Madrid and will no longer be a Newcastle United player.

What a pity!

When Ashli ​​thought that Zhen Shaolong would leave, he suddenly felt a huge reluctance. Then he wanted to avoid Zhen Shaolong next season. It was not easy for the team to get good results and would not attract huge attention.

"Money...is a good thing..."

Ashli ​​didn't regret it, "But... should I sell the club? Zhen Shaolong left, and I will get the money. The future of next season is uncertain. Of course, it's best to be successful, but the risk is also very high. Maybe I should sell the club and let others take over it, and I will make more money."

"I have been the club chairman for two years and won a lot of championship honors. I will take the money and leave when there may be risks in the future... and then I will become a legend of the club? After I leave, the club's performance is not good, and fans will definitely miss me..."

"At that time, every fan will read my name, and you will have money and reputation..."

The more Ashley thought about his eyes, the brighter he could not help but smile.

Laporta described Ashli's expression as a "dirty, slutty smile", mainly Ashli's short and fat figure. Combined with the obvious smirk at the corner of her mouth, she can only be described as "dirty, slutty".

Laporta is in a bad mood.

In the first half, he found that his strategy did not affect Zhen Shaolong. The opponent's performance seemed to be better than usual, showing his superb skills that shocked everyone, and quickly completed two goals.

Laporta was a little anxious.

The current game is related to the title. Barcelona can win the European championship and reach the top again. It is always a lot worse to win the runner-up. He hopes that he will take over Barcelona and will become a great masterpiece, rather than regrets in the middle.

Now is the best time.

Next season, Zhen Shaolong joins Real Madrid. Can Barcelona still play such a brilliant season?

That's uncertain.

Unfortunately, he is the club chairman and is only responsible for daily affairs, so he can't interfere in the game at all. He can only choose to believe in Guardiola and the Barcelona players who work hard.

soon.

Both teams are back on the stage.

Barcelona launched a fierce offensive at the beginning, but after several waves of offensives failed, they quickly adjusted the rhythm back, and made continuous passes to find gaps, without rushing to advance the offense.

This is the rhythm of the last time of the first half.

Guardiola did not make major adjustments to his tactics. After Barcelona's players developed their own offensives, they continued to maintain a steady style of play.

Time is spent in a slow pace.

Fifteen minutes.

Barcelona has always controlled the ball without any hurry or slow attack, and Newcastle United dared not attack too far. Several attacks ended in rapid failure, perhaps because Zhen Shaolong was defended too tightly.

Zhen Shaolong was too targeted!

Zhen Shaolong's performance is actually not bad. To be precise, he is the most dazzling player on the court. After the start of the second half, he frequently retreated to get the ball. Because his teammates' support was not strong, he could hardly find opportunities by himself.

breakthrough!

Breakthrough again!

Whenever Newcastle United launches an offensive, the rhythm of the game commentator's call becomes-

"Zhen Shaolong got the ball, he got rid of Busquets..."

"Look at this time! Look at this time! A wonderful breakthrough! The football seemed to stick to his feet... Another turn and accelerate... it was broken..."

"Zhen Shaolong...and!"

"It's a pity. We found that after the second half, Zhen Shaolong retreated frequently, which was related to the Barcelona defense being too targeted. He couldn't get the ball in front, but the retreat was too far from the goal. He broke through one and two players, and it was difficult for him to take the ball to a key position..."

Zhen Shaolong's continuous "showing skills" also gave Barcelona a headache, and they had to continue to strengthen their defense.

Then time slowly passed.

As the game time delayed, the impact of the score continued to expand. Newcastle United continued to defend without any haste, while Zhen Shaolong continued to cause trouble for Barcelona in the front, so Barcelona was a little anxious.

They are behind the score!

If the game ends, they will lose to Newcastle United, which is equivalent to handing over the championship trophy to the other party.

So they have to do something.

When time passed the 70th minute of the game, there was no need to remind him, and the Barcelona player spontaneously strengthened his offensive.

Two full-backs Pujol and Silvinho began to intervene frequently. Messi and Iniesta both attacked very well, Messi was standing near the penalty area for a long time, and Etoho and Henry supported each side and tried their best to find opportunities.

The difference in a goal affected the situation.

Newcastle United continued to stabilize the defense without any haste. They piled their bodies in the penalty area and defended the goal tightly.

Zhen Shaolong looked at the whole situation and knew that the key was coming.

Now is the time to win.

If Barcelona strengthens their offensive and scores, the score will be tied to 2-2, and there will be still some time to continue to drag, and the result will be full of uncertainty.

on the contrary.

If you can find another goal, the team's hope of winning will increase greatly. With two goals leading, Barcelona can only give it a try. At that time, the bonus to the ball control with a temporary task state will be added. As long as there is a chance, he will score more goals, and the outcome will not be suspense.

"Stay!"

"Must keep it!"
Chapter completed!
