"The first half is coming to an end."
"Now the score on the field is still zero to zero."
"From the situation in the first half, Barcelona undoubtedly controlled the ball, while Paris Saint Germain took charge of the defense in an unusual way, and the cold starting tactics were obviously more secure."
"It's not hard to understand. After all, Paris Saint Germain's players are not as adept at cooperating with each other as Barcelona. Once they are determined to attack each other and are defeated by the opponent's pass and control, it will be a merciless massacre waiting for Paris Saint Germain."
"It should be said that the whole first half, Paris Saint Germain's play is more amazing, the cold team put a lot of energy and time into the task of keeping the overall formation orderly, so we can see that their input in the offensive end is not big, the effect is not ideal, but in the defensive end and the tight degree of the lineup, it is impressive."
"A lot of people say that Gao Han is the head coach who is the best at attacking, but in fact, we have to admit that he is also very good at defending, and his defense is not a full retreat, but an organized oppression, which is very effective in the first half of the tactics and also brings Barcelona the most unruly first half of the season."
"Yes, although bilanova's team controlled the ball right, it still failed to find an effective way to break the other side's goal. The formation of Paris Saint Germain and the discipline under the condition of no ball make it difficult for Barcelona's ball to find space once it enters the 30 meter area, and it is also difficult for Xavi and Iniesta to send a threatening straight ball."
"This is undoubtedly a very targeted and successful defensive strategy."
"If there are fans who are familiar with La Liga, it will be easy to see that it is very similar to the match in which China City defeated Barcelona this season. Bochetino's team defeated Barcelona 3-2 at home. Alpine must have learned from that match, and the overall strength of Paris Saint Germain is stronger than that of China city."
"So we can have more expectations for the second half
…………
…………
When the TV commentator was summing up the first half, Gao Han also stood in front of the coach's seat and looked directly at the court.
In the past 45 minutes, both teams have created a lot of opportunities, but neither team has a very threatening chance to get points, so neither team has scored goals.
Paris Saint Germain this match midfield organization is very good, the division of labor is very tight and orderly, three players perform their duties.
Mattuyidi, who started for Yaya Toure, was arranged to stay at the end of the team and take on the defensive task of delaying the midfield. His duty is to cut off the attack line of the other side and avoid Barcelona players directly facing the back line.
At this point, he was very successful, the whole first half was conscientious, completed meticulously.
Pirlo is on Matuidi's side. His defense task is not heavy. He is mainly responsible for supporting Matuidi. When the team changes from defense to attack, he undertakes the first ball point and accurately delivers the ball to the front wings in the form of diagonal.
But the division of labor between the two is not entirely so. Matuidi will take the initiative to press forward when necessary to keep close watch, which Pirlo is not good at. So after Matuidi grabs, Pirlo will take the initiative to withdraw to fill the gap behind Matuidi.
DiMaria is the best player in this set of midfielders. He provides a lot of running coverage and pressure on Harvey. At the same time, he often defends Marcello on the left side. His task is also the heaviest of the three midfielders.
Harvey didn't have a decent straight pass in the first half, and DiMaria played a very important role.
As Pirlo is close to Matuidi, DiMaria is inclined to the left side, so obamayan on the right side also actively defends, retreats deeply, looking like a winger.
There is no general trend in war, but water is changeable.
Paris Saint Germain seems to play 433, but it will switch the team's formation to 442 or even 451 at any time according to the situation on the field. Even Marcello, who loves attacking on weekdays, focused on defending Messi in the whole first half.
Everyone at the top and bottom of the team was united, which caused Barcelona's depression in the first half.
……
"Give me the data for the first half."
Gao Han is always staring at the field, holding out his right hand without looking back, and saying to the coaching staff behind him.
Soon, a tablet computer arrived in the hands of the high cold, and Sergio Garcia came with it.
Alpine took a look, all the data at a glance.
"56 to 44, our possession rate is not too bad Gao Han said with a smile.
Sergio Garcia shook his head with a wry smile. "It depends on how we compare. If we compare the average possession rate of more than 60% in the French league, then we are absolutely bad."
Not only in France, but also in the Champions League, the average possession rate of Paris Saint Germain is about 60, which is second only to Barcelona and Manchester City. The team that is the best at possession in the Champions League this season.
In terms of other data, the main one that makes Gao Han more interested is that Barcelona didn't shoot straight in the first half, which has to be said to be quite satisfactory data, and also reflects the success of Paris Saint Germain in targeted defense.
On the contrary, it was Paris Saint Germain who had a chance to shoot at the right goal. It was not long after the opening. Obamayan's counterattack from the right side passed the ball to Suarez. The Uruguayan striker hit the goal directly, but the angle was right, but he didn't play well. He was easily confiscated by Valdes.
Barcelona had three corners, Paris Saint Germain didn't and neither side was offside.
Paris Saint Germain's first half was mainly focused on keeping the formation and focusing on defense. Even obamayan and Neymar actively withdrew, making the team keep very close from front to back.
But in this way, the threat of the offensive end is relatively poor.
"What do you think?" Alpine asked Sergio Garcia.
The right-hand man took a look at the high cold and said with a smile, "you know what you know. Do you still ask me?"
Cold silent, Sergio Garcia can only shake his head and said: "defense is basically stable."
This is also the strategy formulated by the coaches such as Gao Han and Zidane before the match.
In the first half, the main purpose was to stabilize the defense and maintain the overall careful formation. That's why Gao Han said at the pre match preparation meeting that he could accept zero to zero in the first half and even lose a goal.
Because he knows that as long as the formation is stable and the players are familiar with the rhythm of the game and Barcelona's passing rhythm, it will be much easier to play in the second half.
At this time, the referee finally blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

Back in the dressing room with a 0-0 score, the players of Paris Saint Germain are in a good mood.
Although they missed a few scoring opportunities, they also completed the task assigned by the head coach Gao hanjiao, didn't let Barcelona break their own goal, and they also organized well in defense.
Assistant coach Zinedine Zidane returned to the dressing room with a satisfied smile on his face, which shows that the coaching staff still affirmed their performance, so every player was relieved.
Alpine was the last to leave the field and return to the dressing room.
Once in, he became the focus of all the players in the dressing room.
"Congratulations, you did a great job in the first half!"
The head coach's words made everyone in the dressing room laugh.
Gao Han looked at DiMaria and said, "what's up? Is it all right? "
In the first half, the task of the Argentinian player was the heaviest, and the pressure was particularly heavy, but he did well. The only thing that worried Gao was his physical fitness. According to the data derived from Sergio Garcia's running, he should be able to hold on to the second half.
"Don't worry, boss. It's OK to continue playing like this in the second half." DiMaria said with a smile.
He is happy to get the cold roll call because it represents the manager's satisfaction with him.
DiMaria's reply also made the dressing room laugh.
"That's not good. You have to save some strength to attack in the second half." Gao Han said with a faint smile.
Everyone in the dressing room was excited.
A few simple words produced such a huge effect among the players, which made Zinedine Zidane on one side admire. However, he knew very well that this was because he had judged the situation in the first half accurately before the cold games.
It can be said that up to now, the competition has not exceeded the expected range of high cold.
In this case, the players' trust in the cold will undoubtedly become stronger.
"Matuidi, in the second half, you need to move forward and leave the back position to Pirlo. I need you to move forward and provide more pressure." The high cold points to Matuidi.
France raised his right hand at the back of his waist, but he didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear and guaranteed to complete the task.
"In the second half, Barcelona started the ball first. We need to press them actively. Suarez and Neymar want to press Barcelona's two centre backs from the beginning. They can't take the ball at will. Even if they are forced into their penalty area, they will be forced by me. Do you understand?"
Suarez and Neymar look at each other, and they all see the excitement in each other's heart.
After struggling for the first half, it's time to be proud.
"Don't worry, boss. I promise to kill them."
"I'll wait for this moment with all my strength." Neymar laughed excitedly.
Gao Han pretended to be stunned, "you didn't try your best in the first half."
Neymar directly muddled, he was just boasting, he really tried his best in the first half.
But Gao Han obviously ignored him, pointed at him and threatened: "if you don't score in the second half, you're dead."
Looking at Neymar's bitter expression, everyone in the dressing room burst into laughter.
"The task I gave you in the second half was very simple. Keep the tactics of the first half and keep the formation tight and orderly, but at the same time, we need to invest more in the offensive end, especially our two wings."
Speaking of this, Gao Han looked at Pirlo and said, "pass the ball to the diagonal more and give play to the speed advantage."
Pirlo is an experienced veteran who can understand the meaning of high cold.
"We need to use more long-distance passing to schedule and pull, understand?"
"I understand!" Everyone in the dressing room answered in unison.
"Very good!" Gao said forcefully, "I believe that after the first half of the game, you should build up enough self-confidence, you should start to believe what I said, as long as you do as I said, I promise, tonight you can take the St. Bradley cup from here, tomorrow, you will be the European champion!"
When the cold voice just fell, every player's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
The biggest difference with Barcelona is that every player in Paris Saint Germain, even a veteran like Pirlo, is eager to prove his strength and get this honor.
Barcelona, on the other hand, is a bit numb.
