The first half ended with a score of 1-0.
After Napoli scored, the game was once again deadlocked.
But before the end of the first half, Barcelona once again accelerated the attack, and Naples quickly counterattacked and threatened again.
This time, it was Rakitic's back shot, which didn't hold the ball and went straight up.
With four shots, three threats and one goal, Napoli's offensive efficiency is still very high.
Barcelona, on the other hand, has 63% of the ball possession rate, but only six shots, but none of them are on target, and four of them are long-range shots, which proves that Barcelona's offense is actually very difficult to wear. Through the Naples line of defense.
If you can play well, with Barcelona's urination, you would like to pass the football directly into the goal of Naples, and will you shoot long-range?
This also proved that Napoli's targeted tactics in the first half, especially defensive tactics, were very successful.
But as the on-site commentator analyzed, the real game depends on the adjustment of the coaches of both sides at halftime.
…
How Napoli will adjust, the Barcelona players do not know at all.
But on the Barcelona side, they quickly saw the clue.
At half-time, returning to the locker room, before everyone could catch a breath, they saw Guardiola and Vilanova come in, but they didn't say anything, but asked the players and employees to do something or something. what are you busy with.
At first, everyone didn't feel anything unusual, until Sylvinho also opened the door and came in, everyone realized that something was wrong.
This is the signal to replace!
Sylvinho is the left back, and the first to bear the brunt of this game is Puyol, who plays on the left.
Everyone immediately looked at Puyol, and it turned out that the Barcelona captain was not flustered at all, but the old **** was there, as if he didn't smell the crisis at all.
When everyone thought about it, yes, it is impossible for anyone to replace the old captain.
So if Puyol doesn't play, then Sylvinho will play on the left back and Puyol will go to the right?
Not right, Alves is as stable as a mountain on the right, and it is also the most normal wing for Barcelona in the first half.
As for that goal, there is no way to blame Alves.
Well, the answer is obvious.
Almost as soon as everyone reacted, they saw that Yaya Toure's face became ugly.
Even his dark skin can't hide the huge waves in his heart at this moment, because he sees it, this is to replace him!
In fact, he was the most-named player throughout the first half.
He felt like he was being targeted.
The other players didn't say anything, but Yaya Toure felt that they were all blaming him for not taking the ball in time for the goal.
If he comes back, maybe that ball can't be conceded.
But Yaya Toure still sat in his seat, motionless, pretending that he had not guessed anything at all.
Until Vilanova walked in front of him and told him softly, "Yaya, we need to strengthen the attack on the left flank in the second half, so we need to adjust the lineup and position. You can now take a shower first."
Although he had guessed it long ago, despite being mentally prepared, when Vilanova said it, Yaya Toure was still furious, and Huo Di stood up immediately.
The Ivorian's reaction made everyone in the locker room nervous, for fear of losing control.
It was really sad to be substituted at half-time in the Champions League final.
Especially in the Champions League this season, Yaya Toure has played a lot more than Busquets, which can be described as a great contribution.
Puyol, Pique, Xavi and others also stood up one after another, blocking between Yaya Toure and Guardiola, intentionally or unintentionally.
This made the Ivorians understand.
No matter how much he contributed to Barcelona, no matter how much he gave to the team, he was still an outsider.
In this locker room, he has nothing but obedience!
The silence time is only ten seconds, but it feels extremely long.
Yaya Toure finally took a deep breath, nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the shower area.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, but his back looked a little sad.
…
As soon as Sylvinho entered the locker room, Gao Shen got the news immediately.
His first reaction was that King Tangle finally couldn't help but want to change people.
Sylvinho is a left-back, who will he replace?
After a lot of scrutiny, he turned his attention to Yaya Toure.
But he can't guess whether Guardiola will really continue the four-three-three tactical play.
That is the tangled god!
"In the second half, Barcelona will make substitutions and adjustments, we need to be mentally prepared."
Gao Shen walked among the players and said aloud.
"With constant change, we don't care what tactics Barcelona adopts or what style of play they use, they still mainly focus on passing and controlling the ball, so we still have to continue to stick to the style of play in the first half."
"Silvinho is a left-back, and his playing is definitely to strengthen the attack on the left, especially the connection between Silvio and Henry, so we need to pay attention to the defense on the right in the second half."
Having said that, Gao Shen looked at Sanchez and Di Maria.
"When necessary, you have to retreat in time to defend, understand?"
Neither Sanchez nor Di Maria are the kind of players who are unwilling to return to defense. After listening to the profound words, they all nodded.
"Everyone, I still say that, our performance so far tonight is very good, we have to make persistent efforts, I believe that as long as we maintain the current rhythm and play style, continue to curb Barcelona's pass penetration and attack, It must be us who take the championship trophy in the end!"
After a pause, Gao Shen looked at his players with a confident smile.
"You know me, I don't like one-to-zero, so work harder in the second half and try to score one or two more!"
The players responded in unison.
…
At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona made a substitution.
Guardiola's substitution object has also been revealed.
Gao Shen guessed right, Sylvinho replaced Yaya Toure.
But what Gao Shen didn't guess right was that Guardiola didn't take four, three, three, but three, four and three.
Busquets was pulled back to the back line, forming a back three with Puyol and Pique, while the two full-backs Sylvinho and Alves were pushed to midfield.
When Gao Shen saw Barcelona's position on the sidelines, he really thought a lot.
The first reaction is that this wonderful tangled emperor is here!
Then he really thought it was outrageous to play as a back three.
But on second thought, he vaguely guessed what Guardiola was thinking.
The first is Busquets. He was forced by Naples in the first half and had to retreat to a deep position to get the ball. Basically, he was at the same level with the central defender. So now, Guardiola simply withdraws him to the central defender.
Secondly, in Barcelona's four-three-three strategy, the two full-backs have always been positioned very forward, so now Guardiola has pushed them to the midfield. To a certain extent, this is just a Barcelona tradition. A manifestation of standing.
The full-backs rely on the front and back, with links to Henry and Eto'o, and there will definitely be more opportunities to participate in the attack.
In a way, Guardiola's decision was to strengthen the attack.
But the more the offense, the weaker the defense will inevitably be.
The first is the midfield, Harvey and Iniesta, two short midfielders, can provide effective protection?
In the back line, Puyol is a right-footed player and plays on the left side. Both Busquets and Pique are slow, slow to turn and not flexible enough. Now they are all on the back line, plus the three defenders themselves, opposite sides. The defense and protection of the road is not enough. Once the two forward full-backs cannot return to their positions in time, the defense of the road will become a big problem.
Not to mention, there is also a Cavani in the middle of Napoli.
"He is really a very traditional Spanish coach!" Carlo sighed and said.
When traditional Spanish coaches think about problems, they always focus on me and start off offense.
For example, the former Spanish winger tactics.
Instead of traditional Spanish coaches, such as many Serie A coaches, or people like Benitez, Aragonez, etc., when they consider problems, they will first think from a defensive point of view, and their tactics are more pragmatic.
Guardiola is now thinking purely from an attacking point of view, on the one hand it is his personality, on the other hand it is also because Barcelona are now 0-1 behind and they have to fight for goals in the second half.
Both Gao Shen and Zidane understood why Carlo sighed.
Because playing back three is not a good decision.
Guardiola has his own set of logic for thinking about problems, and it does hold true, but Napoli can also make targeted adjustments.
Gao Shen didn't even wait for the game to start, and went straight to the sidelines to adjust the team's tactics.
He first motioned to Cavani and continued to stare at Busquets.
Now that he has retreated to the back line, it is better. Cavani directly pressed forward and suppressed Barcelona's back line.
Di Maria and Sanchez both went backwards in the first half. After Gao Shen saw Barcelona playing three backs, he immediately made adjustments and signaled them to exchange. Di Maria returned to the left, and Sanchez still played on the right.
During the intermission, Gao Shen let them both retreat properly, but now when it is time for them to defend, retreat to the midfield and follow Alves and Sylvinho.
At the same time, Biglia and Rakitic's positions were pressed up, suppressing Xavi and Iniesta.
The two Naples midfielders have physical advantages over Xavi and Iniesta, especially Rakitic, who has obvious advantages over Iniesta.
Thiago Motta was in charge of the delay, and he was one of the team's best players in the first half.
After all, what he faced tonight was the old club Barcelona that once made him feel miserable.
Regardless of whether he wants to return to Barcelona this summer, he wants to show his best side tonight, in Barcelona, in front of his former teammates, and re-prove his strength and value.
After Gao Shen made these arrangements, the whole person was relieved a lot.
Especially after seeing the start of the game, Naples players basically understood his tactical intentions, and they were all playing according to the blueprint he drew.
Confused about God?
Instead of waiting until the future, you are taught by others?
Why don't I have a good time for you tonight, it's better to leave a shadow on you, don't get tangled at every turn in the future, and change on the spot at every turn!
Pep, I'm really here for you!
