On Guardiola such replacement commentator Leica is very surprised, "at this time, why change the forward to change the guard? No matter how bad Ibrahimovic is, he's a bigger threat than Maxwell, isn't he? Besides, is Henry still sitting on the bench? Why not send Henry on? When Henry was not as good as Barcelona with the level of Arsenal 5-1 win over Inter Milan
Obviously, Leica doesn't know much about Barcelona. Messi's move to the center position is Guardiola's helpless move, because Henry's state and mentality in the last game against the Spaniard were really bad. Last season, Henry's fighting spirit declined after Barcelona won the grand slam and he had the idea of saving his strength to play in the world cup in South Africa, which made Guardiola very unhappy, so he fell behind 2-0 At that time, Henry was still suppressed on the bench by Guardiola.
Henry sat on the bench, looked at the court, whispered to Ibrahimovic, and didn't seem to care much about the situation.
Although Ibrahimovic has nothing to do with Lucio and Samuel, as one of the best centers in the world, Ibrahimovic's deterrent power is still very big. After Ibrahimovic's departure, although Messi is the center, Inter's mentality is relaxed. Although Messi's guest star center once beat Real Madrid 6-2, both Lucio and Samuel think it's a good choice Real Madrid are not on guard. What kind of center can Messi play? So Lucio and Samuel are still normal defense, did not come up with 12 points of attention.
Obviously, Messi's talent is a great threat in any position. Although he is not a center like Ibrahimovic and Drogba, it is very dangerous for him to get close to the goal.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Harvey scored and Pedro crossed to Messi in the middle.
Lucio quickly grabbed close to Messi and didn't let him take the ball.
If you stand in Messi's position is Ibrahimovic, Lucio's approach is not a problem, even if Lucio has been dropped, there are Samuels help defense, but now it is Messi.
When Lucio intercepted the ball to the right, Messi suddenly let the ball and broke through Lucio from the left.
Now Inter's double centre back Lucio and Samuel cooperate quite tacit understanding, Lucio was over when Samuel has arrived, and decisively under foot tackle.
Another player needs to adjust his center of gravity after passing Lucio, but Messi is too quick. He seems to have predicted that Samuel will come to tackle, and then he passes Samuel and enters the penalty area. At the moment, Lucio has just turned around and it's too late to defend.
The fans of inter were stunned. They finally saw Messi's amazing breakthrough ability. Both centre backs were in their own positions, but they couldn't stop him.
Cesar was not a spectator. He rushed out to block Messi's shooting space when Samuel was broken through.
Cesar's save was very clever. He didn't go to the ball under Messi's feet, because Messi didn't have much shooting angle and space, and there was no time to adjust. Lucio had caught up behind him.
However, Messi is Messi, in a very small range, he shifted the ball again, passed goalkeeper Cesar, and shot from a small angle close to the bottom line.
This angle is too small, Messi is in a hurry to shoot, where grasp so accurate, the ball close to the goal line flew out of the bottom line.
Inter didn't dare to breathe until the ball flew out of the bottom line, and the fans gasped and screamed in the stands.
Guardiola on the sidelines clenched his fists and kept saying that he had it. Seeing the ball flying out of the baseline, he held his head and turned around with regret.
When he saw that the ball went out of the baseline and inter served the goal, he immediately yelled at Lucio and Samuel, "don't be so defensive against Messi! He's not Ibrahim! Card, don't rob blindly
However, a player like Messi can't break through you if you don't grab him. In the 65th minute of the game, Harvey suddenly blocked. It seems that Messi should break through the penalty area in the direction of the ball, but Messi stopped the ball.
Lucio didn't dare to give Messi the space to shoot and pressed up quickly, but at this time, Messi started. He changed direction twice in a row and threw Lucio away, pretending to shoot and swung past Samuel. But at this time, Motta appeared in time and poked the ball out from behind.
Under Messi's continuous breakthrough, Inter's guard line is tight, double back Motta and Cambiasso have to separate one person to help two central defenders defend Messi.
Messi involved three players, Harvey got a lot of activity space, his pass is even more terrible than Messi's breakthrough, under Harvey's organization and scheduling, Barca's two wingers Pedro and Maxwell got three shooting opportunities in a row, but under Inter's crowd tactics, neither of them could shoot the goal.
Gao Xiaodong quickly realized the seriousness of the defensive problem, he immediately pulled back from the front waist position, directly targeted at Harvey, did not let Harvey take the ball to catch the ball.
Gao Xiaodong has the skill of the back and the consciousness of the front. He has a very accurate judgment of the ball path and a very fast speed. He is beside Harvey. No one in Barcelona dares to pass the ball to Harvey for a long distance. Harvey's chances of getting the ball are greatly reduced.Harvey is frozen by Gao Xiaodong, Messi is trapped by two centre backs and a back waistline, Pedro and Maxwell are players who do not create attack opportunities, attack can only rely on the pressure of pique and Alves.
In the middle there is Gao Xiaodong, a very fast forward. Pique dare not easily press on him, so Alves almost becomes the right winger of Barcelona. He constantly inserts assists and returns quickly when inter attack back. The whole right road almost becomes his corridor.
Seeing Alves with excellent attack and defense, commentators from all over the world said that Alves's performance today is no worse than his national team mate Maicon. It's really a bit inferior to play as a substitute in Brazil.
However, at the edge of the field, Jose has been sneering, blocking Messi and freezing Harvey. His purpose is to force Alves to assist. The main target of Inter's counterattack today is the gap after Alves assists. He sent Sneijder to the left wing position to catch Alves.
Of course, the premise of this tactic is that the Barca midfield Iniesta can't play. If Iniesta is there, Alves doesn't need so much assists with the breakthrough and creativity of Xiaobai, it will be difficult for Inter to take advantage of Alves' space.
The only thing that surprised Jose is that Messi actually played the center, and played Lucio and Samuel in the center position with many flaws, which forced Gao Xiaodong to withdraw and mark Harvey. Inter's attack power in the front court was greatly reduced, otherwise Barcelona's back line would have been screened.
In fact, Barcelona coach Guardiola is not stupid, he is also very clear that Alves is a double-edged sword, but he has no way, Barcelona on the field can not break the deadlock of the third person, there is a substitute, but Henry is not even willing to take the initiative to fight, Guardiola is not a last resort also do not want to send Henry.
