Chapter 639: A Battle of Tactics

Jose Mourinho hugged every Inter player at the door of the dressing room and praised his players as the Barcelona players and coaches passed by, "You guys are good! You have confirmed on the pitch who is the best team in the world, you have shown the world that if the referee is fair, we can beat any team......

Mourinho's words were very provocative, and Pique pointed at Mourinho angrily and reprimanded: "The villain has a will! We will break your turtle shell in the second half!"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and stretched out two fingers and said, "We have already broken your turtle shells!

Pique was furious and rushed over to teach Gao Xiaodong a lesson, but was stopped by Guardiola, "Don't follow their rhythm, want to perform, there is time in the second half!"

Pep Guardiola's face was gloomy and in a very bad mood, Pique did not dare to listen, and angrily followed Guardiola into the visiting dressing room, and behind him, the Inter Milan players let out an unbridled mockery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Back in the locker room, Guardiola was silent for a long time, he didn't have nothing to say, he had too much to say, if he could, he even wanted to point his finger at the scalp and scold Ibrahimovic, more than 60 million bought players, only shot once in 45 minutes, and it didn't hit the goal frame! He also wanted to scold Alves, Gao Xiaodong scored in his defensive area, why did he go at that time? Why did he get entangled with Sneijder? He wanted to scold Maxwell more, did the fullbacks stand like that? The opponent took one step, and there was no central defender to fill his position, how could Gao Xiaodong shoot undefended.

But Pep Guardiola held back, scolding the players at this difficult time obviously did not work, he exhaled a long breath, and said: "There is a sentence in the movie "Success in the Sky" that I like very much: "I am the master of my life, I am the commander of the soul" Now we are two goals down, but our fate is still in our own hands, it's not a 90-minute game, it's a 180-minute game, we don't need to score two or even three goals in the second half to advance, as long as we score one goal and go back to Camp Nou we can knock them out. ”

The Barcelona players didn't speak, but Pep Guardiola's words lifted their spirits.

A manager who does not complain and blame the players, but shows the way to the players and finds hope, the players are undoubtedly happy and admired.

Guardiola continued: "The opponent defends well, but it is not invulnerable, if you feel that the opponent is invulnerable, it is because we have not put enough pressure on them, I know Mourinho very well, if you want to beat him you have to be more cunning, more patient, more brave than him......"

Pep Guardiola said what he thought of Jose Mourinho, but the players only took it as a cliché and didn't take it to heart.

Guardiola continued: "In the second half, we have to play our style, fast passing and cutting, once we pull out the gap, we must pass boldly, don't be afraid of mistakes, don't be afraid of being counterattacked! ”

When Ibrahimovic heard this, his face sank, he thought that Guardiola was accusing and making things difficult for him, he is 1.92 meters tall, can he run like Pedro and Messi? Can he play winger? It's a joke, but there was nothing in the first half, and Guardiola didn't mention his name alone, and Ibrahimovic was silent.

Home team dressing room

Jose Mourinho didn't have time to praise and criticize the players, he was seizing all the time to analyse Barca's tactical play in the first half, guess Barca's tactics in the second half, and lay out the style of play in the second half.

"I don't need to say anything more about your performance, the score on the field says it all!"

"In the first half, Barcelona wanted to use the pass to open our defense, we didn't give Xavi a chance to plug through, they wanted to use Messi's breakthrough to tear our defense, we didn't give them a chance, they wanted to take advantage of Ibrahimovic's high, but it didn't work, in the second half, they still didn't have a good way to deal with us, at most put Pique on the front line, we just need to do our defense well, keep the current score, and even expand the score is possible. ”

"I'm going to focus on our counter-attack in the second half, Sneijder, Motta, you two have to play the ball quickly, pass to Gao Xiaodong, or play behind Maxwell and Alves, and make the most of Eto'o's speed. ”

"Xiaodong, we will shrink very much in the second half, Sneijder and Motta will attack directly, in the first half you pass and shoot, and in the second half you will definitely be stared at very much, you have to kick the ball, play more without the ball and the ability to run forward, it is best to score another goal!"

"In the second half, Barcelona will definitely attack, let's not let their morale go up, expand the pressing, don't give them a chance to shoot, if we can stop them for ten minutes, Barca's morale will go down. ”

……

Mourinho then took the trouble to explain the offensive and defensive issues that every player needed to pay attention to, until 15 minutes passed, and the referee knocked on the door outside.

Inter Milan led the powerful Cosmos team by 2 goals, and the morale of the players was high, and they were also convinced by Mourinho, and they all took his words to heart.

Inter Milan walked out of the locker room and happened to meet the Barcelona players again, and Gao Xiaodong almost collided with Messi.

"You still owe me two balls!"

Gao Xiaodong said to Messi with a grin.

Messi spat out, "Your luck won't be as good in the second half as it was in the first half. ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "You don't seem to have broken the door of Mu Shuai's team, you are welcome to break the curse!"

"There is no magic spell in my eyes!"

Messi glanced at Gao Xiaodong coldly, turned around and walked towards the field, at this moment, he felt that Gao Xiaodong hated him more than Ronaldo.

After the players of Barcelona and Inter Milan came out of the mixed tunnel, the Inter Milan fans welcomed their idols with a tsunami of applause, and the performance of Inter Milan in the first half conquered them, and at this moment in the minds of Inter Milan fans, Inter Milan is no longer the Champions League soft egg, but an invincible lions.

The 1,500 Barcelona fans who traveled with the team did not give up, they applauded the players desperately, and they still believed that their players could draw 2-2 away from home to Arsenal.

After the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half, Barcelona really launched the most fierce attack on Inter Milan's half, wanting to take advantage of Inter Milan's lack of concentration and sneak attack.

But Inter Milan was very focused and pressed very actively, everyone chased around the Barcelona players, even if the ball passed to Valdés, Milito did not hesitate to rush over and press, never let Barcelona pass the ball easily.

Inter Milan's mad dog-like pressing made Barcelona's opening onslaught did not play a role, Messi's breakthrough was blocked by Cambiaso, Motta, Zanetti, three people who are familiar with him, Gao Xiaodong retreated to stare at Xavi, Xavi was not dominant in all aspects, and was forced by Gao Xiaodong to only pass the ball with one kick.

Xavi and Messi were frozen, Pedro couldn't bear the function of breaking through, only Ibrahimovic was left, but Barcelona gave the ball to Ibrahimovic's feet, Ibrahimovic couldn't hold the ball under Lucio's defense, and gave it to the air, and Ibrahimovic couldn't grab Lucio and Samuel, and it almost became a decoration in the penalty area.

Seeing that Ibrahimovic had become a soft-footed crab again, the fans of Inter Milan kept shouting Ibrahimovic's name and booing him, and in the boos of Inter Milan, Ibrahimovic was in a bad mood and played even worse.

In the 60th minute of the game, Guardiola was completely disappointed in Ibrahimovic, who could not play short passes with his teammates and could not compete for high balls, he replaced Ibrahimovic with Abidal, put Messi in the middle, Maxwell played winger, and Abidal played left-back to strengthen the defense on the left side.

Ibrahimovic was so annoyed by the substitution that he didn't give high-fives to team-mate Abidal or look at Guardiola, taking Guardiola for air and walking straight back to the bench.
