Chapter 710

With the referee's whistle, the ups and downs of the first half finally ended.

Everyone in the whole Camp Nou stadium is still deeply immersed in the fast-paced attack and defense of nearly 50 minutes just now. Many of them have never even experienced such a fast-paced game that time passes. It's like scoring in the blink of an eye, and then the game is over.

In the stands, nearly 100000 Barcelona fans have not yet pulled away from the mood just now, many fans are still swearing, and some are shouting anxiously, boosting the morale of the home team players.

Two to three, the home team is one goal behind, which is absolutely not difficult for Barcelona.

The first half of the game to the home team fans feel like riding a roller coaster, ups and downs, twists and turns.

Two goals were lost in the beginning, but one was quickly recovered. Just when everyone was looking forward to the team's further efforts, another goal was lost. Fortunately, another goal was recovered later.

Scoring five goals in half-time is the most efficient way to score goals in this season's Champions League.

In addition to the score behind the visiting team, the Camp Nou fans really can not put forward more critical requirements for the team.

On the court, the players of the two teams also ended the game peacefully and went off the court respectively. It seems that both sides are not affected by the score. After all, it's only half-time now. There is still a second half in the game. It's hard to say who wins and who loses.

But the fans of the home team in the stands suddenly began to sing the team song of Barcelona.

The deafening song poured down from the steep Nou Camp grandstand and surprised all the players in the stadium. Then Barcelona captain Puyol led his teammates to raise their hands and applaud for the fans.

This move immediately ushered in more fierce singing and cheering for them.

"A goal down in the first half didn't seem to make Barcelona lose confidence. At Camp Nou, they have enough confidence to beat all their opponents, even Gao and his Bayern Munich

"It should be said that this is what I have seen. In the most wonderful first half of the season, Bayern Munich scored three goals away from home, which was quite excellent, but Barcelona, the home team, did not give up

"Let's look at the technical statistics of the two teams in the first half

"In terms of possession rate, Barcelona has reached 57%, while Bayern Munich has 43%. It should be said that there is a gap between the two teams in possession, but it is not very great."

"In terms of passing success rate, the gap is even smaller. Barcelona's passing success rate is 81.6%. It should be said that compared with Barcelona's usual data, this data has a significant decline. Bayern Munich's targeted suppression tactics really work, and the Bundesliga giants' passing success rate is nearly 81%

"In terms of attack, Barcelona played a total of 10 shots in the first half, four shots in the right direction and scored two goals. This efficiency can be said to be quite high, but Bayern Munich is not bad either. Although their ball control rate is not as good as Barcelona, they have more chances to score goals. They have 14 shots, seven shots in the right direction and scored three goals. The efficiency is also good."

"In the first half, the two teams made a total of 24 shots, one shot in nearly three minutes, which made the whole game in the first half very exciting and fast-paced. Both sides played offensive football

"If we look at the course of the game, we have to say that both sides show the strength of the top teams in Europe."

"Barcelona fought at home. Guardiola creatively moved Messi to the middle in this game. As a result, the most threatening attack of Barcelona in the first half almost came from Messi, and the Argentines effectively linked up the team's middle and front court, which should be said to play a very obvious role."

"But Bayern Munich are also good. The first two goals fully reflect Gao's familiarity and understanding of Barcelona. Both of them are set pieces, holding Barcelona's dead end, and then playing against Barcelona boldly, which also shows Gao's confidence in his team."

"In addition to the amazing strength of the two teams, we can also see that the two European coaches were extremely meticulous in the preparation work before the game, and they also worked out the tactics that could give full play to their own team characteristics according to their own and opponents' advantages and disadvantages, which created the brilliant 45 minutes in the first half."

"The score of 2-3 is quite consistent with the situation in the second half. Now the biggest suspense is how the two sides will play in the second half. Barcelona gave Bayern Munich three away goals at home, which undoubtedly created a big problem for them. Is it necessary to stick to the first half? Or do you want to play more safely? "

What's interesting about the knockout of the Champions League is the away goal system, which makes it possible for two rounds.

It's like Barcelona playing Inter. In the first leg, Barcelona drew inter two times away from World War II. When they returned home, they drew one to one. However, Barcelona scored two goals away from home, which naturally eliminated Inter.

Therefore, to some extent, the away goal even determines the balance of the two rounds.

As we all know, three away goals are quite a lot.

If Barcelona continue to play in the first half, can they win the game? Will the number of goals from both sides continue to increase?

But if we don't stick to the first half, how will Barcelona play?

This dilemma is undoubtedly in front of Guardiola.

…………

…………

"We seem to have a choice, but in fact, we have no choice at all!"

In the home team dressing room, Guardiola looked at the panting players in front of him and yelled loudly.

"This is the Camp Nou stadium. We started with three away goals in the first half. We are still one goal behind. What can we do

Guardiola's question is floating in the dressing room, but every player has a serious expression and can't answer it.

Yes, this is the Camp Nou, the holy land of Barcelona. We have given our opponents three away goals here. How can we play? There seems to be a choice in the second half, but in fact, is there a choice?

Guardiola asked himself that he knew alpine cold very well. He was an aggressive maniac.

Let's not say anything else. In the first half, after Barcelona pulled back a goal, it was obvious that they had already played their momentum. If they were any other head coach, they would always adopt a more conservative strategy. With the advantage of one goal lead, they would stabilize the position first and then try to fight back. But in the end, the cold weather was not good.

He even let Bayern Munich come out to attack directly, and the players of the Bundesliga giants just listen to his command and never move forward.

It can be said that the first half finally evolved into such a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle, which Guardiola did not want to see.

The reason is simple. Barcelona have the advantage of possession. It's good for them to slow down.

In addition, and most importantly, the physical fitness of Barcelona players is not as good as that of Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga giants have a one and a half month winter break, which is equivalent to having nearly a summer training. After charging, they have more abundant physical reserves. Barcelona, on the other hand, although they also have a winter break, is not as good as the Bundesliga, not to mention the recent period of time, a consecutive week of double games, and every game is a hard struggle.

According to Guardiola's idea, the most ideal state should be Barcelona to slow down the pace with the advantage of pass control, let Bayern Munich follow the ball, rather than accelerating the physical consumption in such a fast-paced game state.

As smart as Guardiola, he knows very well that all this is intentional.

It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy.

He is such an insidious guy.

But now there is no way out for Barcelona.

"In the second half, we had only one way. We continued to attack. In the first 20 minutes, we equalized or even reversed."

Guardiola is very clear that the physical strength of the team can only last 20 minutes at most.

If the score is not even after 20 minutes, I'm afraid

…………

…………

"After the fast pace of attack and defense in the first half, we were all very tired, so they couldn't bear it any more."

In the dressing room of the visiting team, Gao Han looks at the players in front of him with a smile.

Also experienced the first half of the game, Barcelona physical consumption, Bayern Munich players are not easy.

But when everyone heard this, his eyes were obviously shining with confidence.

Since the cold came to Bayern Munich, they have never been disappointed, never.

"The second half is the real test, I know Guardiola, he will not give up, he will strive for goals, equalise the score, and our goal is only one, that is to further expand the lead

Every player in the dressing room laughed unconsciously.

This is what they are familiar with.

"I initially estimated that according to the rhythm of the first half, their physical fitness could not last long, at most 15 to 20 minutes, and we..." Gao Han said here, deliberately stopped and asked, "how long do you think you can last?"

Players, you look at me, I look at you, all smile.

"We can play the whole game, boss!"

"Yes, Lorenzo's devil training was not for nothing during the winter break."

"Definitely longer than Barcelona."

Players, you say it and I say it. Obviously, they are full of confidence.

The Bundesliga team has always been famous for its physical fitness and running, and alpine has always attached great importance to running without the ball. Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, Bayern Munich are excellent in the Bundesliga League and even in European football.

When it comes to pass control, Bayern Munich can't compete with Barcelona, but when it comes to cost and fighting spirit

"OK, I believe you too, so my strategy is no strategy."

Cold words, let all the players are stunned.

No strategy?

What about the second half?

"In the second half, we need to speed up the game from the beginning, and we need to play faster than in the first half, drag Barcelona directly into the quagmire of attrition, and then take advantage of our physical strength to kill the opponent at one stroke."

All the players were stunned for a moment, and tuhel standing next to him was a little surprised.

He guessed the intention of the first half of the cold attack, but now he wants to play faster, which is too insidious?

However, there is no way, Bayern Munich in a short period of time on the Champions League game, can compete with opponents.

But Barcelona can't. They have to be distracted from the league.

It's not a conspiracy. It's a fair and aboveboard conspiracy.

"I know you will work very hard, but please believe me, the opponents are harder than us. When you feel that you can't move fast on the court, you can look at the opponents in front of you. They will be more unbearable than you."

"It's a competition between the top teams in Europe. There's no frivolity or opportunism. Only strength and persistence can make us laugh to the end."

"As long as we win this game, Barcelona will be completely finished."

Gao also has an external assist, that is, Barcelona will visit the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid in the 34th round of La Liga this weekend.

This is also the reason why Alpine has enough confidence to compete with Barcelona.
