Barcelona would like to get rid of this repressed situation. Barcelona is not strong in defense, but offensive. If the attack cannot be played, then everything can only be a cloud.
Iniesta's non-stop retreat, hoping to play the role of the ball bearer as soon as the defense is successful, using excellent foot skills to protect the ball, so that it will not be forced by the mature high position of Notts County. Can't get out of the ball.
Iniesta's ball-to-ball combination is definitely top-notch, and he can calmly act in the face of defense. It can indeed ensure that Barcelona does not lose control of the ball so quickly in the dangerous area, but the problem also comes, Iniesta is not God, he can’t shake half of Notts County’s half team, you can pass one, you can pass two, but it’s difficult to pass three or four, and relying on Iniesta may be able to stabilize the position, But it was absolutely impossible to advance the ball to the half of Notts County.
In this way, Ronaldinho must also retreat to respond to Iniesta, leaving Eto'o alone in front. The counterattack is weak, and he still cannot threaten the goal of Notts County.
In addition, Notts County players are constantly using fouls to prevent Barcelona’s counterattack. After losing the ball, they may even foul for the first time. They do not move much and will not eat cards. Things come at ease.
The foul is also testing the referee, testing his punishment scale. If the leniency is moderate, then it is the most advantageous for Notts County. If it is too harsh, it is not good news!
The Premier League's usual slightly rough play is often criticized in the Champions League. The football styles that everyone appreciates are different. England fans like to watch fierce confrontations, but many fans in Europe are willing to watch ballet-like football.
This is the difference.
If the referee is really as binocular as the iron-faced judge, even if Knotts County is the least confrontation team in England, it will definitely suffer a lot!
But fortunately, after a period of trial and error, the referee’s penalty level was still normal. It did not increase the tendency due to frequent fouls in Notts County, nor did it allow Notts County to foul. Time told Alonso that he hoped that Notts County would reduce the foul of small moves to increase the fluency of the game.
Although Alonso nodded like garlic and promised to be very happy, but in fact still doing his own way, the foul was still a foul.
The overwhelming advantage of Notts County continues. All fans in front of the TV did not expect the game to be one-sided from the beginning. Is the opponent really playing Barcelona, the invincible player of La Liga?
Is it that even a strong man like Barcelona has to be beaten against Notts County?
What's the point of the Champions League final in this way, and directly award the championship trophy to Notts County, which saves trouble!
Although many fans were more optimistic about Notts County's ability to defend their title before the game, they never thought that the match would be like this. The existence of such a Notts County is really sad for European clubs!
Of course, the game is far less simple than most people seem. The high pressure at the start of Notts County made Barcelona a bit unprepared, but Barcelona still has the strength. Notts County stormed for a while, although Barcelona’s defense was seven hundred and eight. It fell, but Knotts County never broke, and Barcelona gradually came out of the restraint of the opening, and gradually became normal.
European experience includes finals experience. Notts County is definitely more abundant than Barcelona. It has won three consecutive seasons in European competitions. This season, it reached the European tournament finals for the fourth time, although Notts County players also have Nervous, but not so that the team played abnormally.
Barcelona does not. Although it has gradually recovered in the past few seasons, its performance in the European Wars in previous seasons has been less eye-catching. Last season, the Champions League only broke into the quarterfinals and was eliminated by Chelsea, although there have been Winning experience, but none of these Barcelona players have final experience.
On such an important occasion, how can the players' mentality not change, and this mysterious and mysterious thing can be contagious, which is also one of the reasons why Barcelona is suppressed at the beginning of the game, and its strength is a little different, and it has not played its usual way. How can it not be suppressed!
However, after 15 minutes, the Barcelona players gradually returned to normal. The oppression of Knotts made them forget the tension and the excitement. The only remaining belief is to keep the goal, so that the players have no other thoughts. !
At this stage, Notts County, which was running crazy, also needed to take a breath. Barcelona, who had stabilized its position, began to organize a counterattack, and the flames of fire for the first time reached the half of Notts County.
Barcelona's full offensive ability is still very strong. Although Harvey has not completely achieved control of the game, it has reached a certain level, plus Iniesta, a super matured in Notts County in advance In the midfield, Barcelona's communication is very skilled.
In his own half, Knotts County was too foul to give a free kick. Even if Barcelona's overall height is low, but who knows if they have any free kicks against the sky, it is better to be cautious in the finals.
Ronaldinho's breakthrough on the left has caused a lot of pressure on Ramos. Although Messi will retreat to assist defense, when it comes to positive defensive capabilities, Messi can only contribute to the defense of the eye, and needs Decora to the side. Road to help defense.
In the face of the two or three people, Ronaldinho is not afraid, although it may not be able to get rid of continuously but it is still possible to protect the ball. This is the manifestation of personal ability, and then the pass can be Find the space in Knotts County and play a threatening attack.
At this time, for the first time, the game really reached a balanced state, Barcelona can play an offensive, Knotts County defense is also very difficult, and entered the competition of the offense.
Loew seemed a little irritable on the sidelines. He still thought of the game a little bit simple. No matter how strong Knotts County is, it is impossible to give Barcelona no chance at all. Notts County has not been strong enough to be an alien team.
Of course, Barcelona attacked, and the gap left in the backcourt can also be used by Notts County. Notts County’s frontcourt offensive combination is more powerful than Barcelona, and the offensive efficiency is higher. Even if it is a counterattack, it is also more than Barcelona. For the benefit.
Perhaps Love just simply wanted a more relaxed victory!
More than half of the first half time, Notts County has an absolute advantage in technical statistics, but in terms of ball control rate, Barcelona is gradually catching up, but in the number of shots, Notts County has always suppressed Barcelona, despite playing In addition to counterattacks and special offenses, Barcelona only got a two-footed shot in front of the overall defense of Notts County, and did not have a one-footed shot, while Notts County already had seven shots and four shots.
