"Whew-"

The atmosphere at the Stade Louis II continues to be frenetic, with Dortmund, Barcelona and Monaco fans all contributing to the Super Cup. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The game was very fluid, and it was quickly forty minutes, which means that there were less than five minutes left before the end of the first half.

The score on the field is still Dortmund through a quick counter-attack opportunity to lead the 2010-2011 Champions League champion Barcelona, except that they are slightly behind from the field, but the fans who know the ball basically know that they have no problem leading to end the first half.

Sure enough!

After Messi's shot after forcing a breakthrough was blocked by Tang Zheng's sliding tackle, the referee decisively blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

The on-site director switched the camera for the first time and found Messi, the star of Barcelona.

Judging by his expression, it was clearly upset.

In the past forty-five minutes, if he had been asked to score himself, he would not have even reached the passing mark.

As one of the two most watched stars in world football today, he has his own pride, so he was frozen by the 'little-known' Tang Zheng in this European Super Cup, which made him lose face somewhat.

On the other hand, Tang Zheng, who grabbed the camera many times throughout the first half, was in a good mood, and he pulled his two midfield partners, Sven Bender and Gundogan, to exchange the past games in the first half, and at the same time talk about their shortcomings.

This is something Tang Zheng often does during halftime, so neither Gundogan nor Sven Bender is surprised, but listens very carefully.

Because there was no problem in Dortmund on the defensive end in the entire first half, it was directly related to Tang Zheng's timely supplement, otherwise the current score would not be Dortmund's 1:0 lead.

The Dortmund fans in the stands were particularly happy and sang the anthem along the way with their die-hard fans.

Barcelona fans, on the other hand, were in a relatively bad mood as half-time down is not often seen in Barcelona games......

The atmosphere of the two teams back in the dressing room was also different, with leading Borussia Dortmund in a good atmosphere and Barcelona in a gloomy atmosphere behind the scoreline.

As soon as assistant coach Jellico Bouácz closed the dressing room door, manager Jurgen Klopp praised his players: "The first half was very good! I believe that as long as the performance continues in the first half, it will be Dortmund who will win the Super Cup! For the king of Europe!

"For the king of Europe!"

Tang Zheng tacitly cooperated with Klopp, and the other teammates shouted loudly in high spirits.

For the second half, Klopp had it in mind.

In fact, the lead in the first half was unexpected by him, because the opponent was Barcelona, he thought about falling behind at half time and drawing at halftime, but he didn't expect to lead, for this unexpected result, he believed that Dortmund must win in the end!

Abandoning Pirlo in favor of Gundogan in this game is for the defensive intensity brought by Shahin's departure, and the lead in the first half means that Barcelona will slowly strengthen their attack in the second half.

Once it gets to the top of the game, Barcelona's attack becomes reckless, and that's when it's the team's chance!

The fast horses Perisic and Kuba on the bench are not on the sidelines, and their proud speed can definitely tear apart Barcelona's seemingly solid defensive system!

On the other side, Pep Guardiola analysed the shortcomings of the first half.

The first thing he talked about was not that Messi didn't have the physical ability to play his role, but that he was a little unhappy with the functioning of Xavi and Iniesta.

In the core tactics of Tiki-Taka, Xavi and Iniesta are the most crucial links, and Messi is only the role of this system responsible for attracting the attention of opponents and finishing opponents.

Messi's repeated choices to break through are entirely due to the fact that Xavi and Iniesta have not functioned as expected in midfield.

So Pep Guardiola hopes Xavi and Iniesta can shoulder more responsibility in the second half and not put all the pressure on Messi.

※※※

While the players on both sides of the game made key arrangements for the second half of the game, the commentators in the on-site commentary seats analyzed the first half of the game through wonderful replays.

Why did Dortmund take the lead?

Why did Barcelona's Tiki-Taka tactics in sweeping Europe fail to gain an advantage over Borussia Dortmund?

What caused Messi's magic to disappear in this game?

These questions need to be analyzed through all aspects of the game at the end of the first half before a final conclusion can be drawn.

Of course, these analyses are difficult to put aside subjective opinions, after all, everyone has a position.

The Stade Louis II vacated a lot of space at this time, not because they were dissatisfied with the first half, but because they took advantage of the half-time break to go to the food sales inside the stadium to seize the time to replenish the energy they had expended.

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly and the players from both sides returned to the Stade Louis II.

The referee stood in the middle with a whistle in his mouth and pointed his left hand at Dortmund to defend the half.

Villa stepped on the football with his right foot, and Messi stood less than half a meter next to him.

The atmosphere of the scene seemed a little calm and rational at this time.

Messi looked straight at Tang Zheng who was half a circle away from the opposite side, and he naturally clenched his fists.

"Beep~"

Just then, referee Bonn Kujpels blew his whistle.

Villa kicked the football at his feet to Messi, and Messi's attention returned to the football from Tang Zheng, and then transitioned to Xavi, the core of the midfield.

This was the start of the second half.

Neither manager made any changes to the line-up for the first half and was clearly pleased with the current line-up.

Barcelona, who had the advantage on the kick-off, did not rush to attack, and they slowly advanced into the Dortmund defensive half through the pass from the midfield.

The high press, led by Grosskreutz and Gotze, successfully slowed Barcelona's attack and returned to assist in their own half.

Tang Zheng, Grosskreutz, Gotze and Gundogan lined up, compressing the playmaking space of Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, with Sven Bender in front of the centre-back and behind Tang Zheng and Gundogan.

Barcelona didn't have much of a way to defend this and could only rely on Pedro and Messi to find opportunities on both flanks.

However, Pedro is a functional winger, and he does a good job of protecting the ball and playing the ball, and it is difficult to break through like Messi, and even lead to some deformation of Barcelona's attack.

So Barcelona's attack fell into a kind of strange circle, as if it was completely limited by Dortmund's defensive system.

Manager Pep Guardiola sees all this in his eyes and can only hope for changes brought about by substitutions in the face of Messi's continued slump on the field.

At present, on the bench, the only one who can relieve the pressure on Messi to break through is Sanchez, a Chilean who transferred this summer

So, he said to assistant coach Villanova: "Tell Alexis to warm up and come over in five minutes." ”

※※※

In the 56th minute of the game, Sanchez, wearing the number nine shirt, stood next to the fourth official, waiting to play.

As Lewandowski received Tang Zheng's second pass and directly released the anti-aircraft gun, the referee blew the whistle to signal a substitution on the sidelines.

Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the sidelines very casually, and he grinned, because the upcoming Barcelona player was his friend Alexis Sanchez!

"Finally can't help it?"

Jurgen Klopp saw Sanchez come on in place of Pedro and he playfully turned his head to look at Pep Guardiola.

This substitution was very targeted, and that was to use Sanchez's breakthrough ability to find opportunities on the left when Messi was restricted.

At the same time, Klopp made a tactical change gesture towards Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng continued to keep an eye on Lionel Messi, while Sven Bender and Gundogan took turns juggling Sanchez, who was looking for a one-on-one breakthrough.

Klopp's changes are indeed targeted, but they may not have the desired effect when implemented.

Borussia Dortmund are not very good at position defense, and they are best at pressing high positions, forcing the opposition to make mistakes in central midfield, and then creating opportunities with the strong shell output ability of Tang Zheng, Shaheen and Gotze.

In terms of individual skills, Sanchez is not much weaker than Messi, whether it is Sven Bender or Gundogan's assistance, it cannot completely limit Sanchez, plus Barcelona's attacking left side is also assisted by Iniesta and Adriano.

Three against two, the local advantage is obvious.

So in this case, the right side of the defense is relatively passive, and more people need to be sent to help.

The two backs are not in their own defensive area, and Tang Zheng, who has excellent defensive awareness, has to stand in front of the double central defenders to protect the safety of this area, but this also causes Messi to slowly become active.

The pressure on Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines, slowly decreased, and he knew ...... As long as Messi continues to gain space, Messi will definitely not waste opportunities!

Because...... He's the best player in the world!

The game entered the 63rd minute, and Barcelona equalized!

Alexis Sanchez used his excellent footwork to link up Sven Bender and Piszczek before drawing Hummels back with a decisive backpass.

In order to make up for Hummels' vacancy, Tang Zheng has no time and will only make up for the vacancy behind his teammates.

It just so happened that Sanchez saw this vacancy, and Messi received a pass from Sanchez.

Gundogan was a little nervous in the face of Messi's ball-bearing, and he stretched his leg too slowly to kick Messi down.

Referee Bonn Kujpels blew the whistle and awarded Barcelona a well-placed free-kick and a yellow card to Gundogan.

Messi took advantage of a direct free-kick opportunity he created to score the ball when he almost disappeared for most of the half, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller couldn't reach it.

"Leo Messi!

“Gooooooooooooooooal――”

"The best player in the world has finally scored!

The local Catalan commentators roared almost frantically as they had been waiting for this goal for more than an hour!

"Pep Guardiola's substitution adjustment took effect quickly, using Sanchez's super personal ability to liberate Messi, a typical tactic of encircling Wei to save Zhao, but unfortunately Dortmund. ”

Yang 5 commentator He Wei shook his head and said.

"Barcelona!

"We deserve to be champions!"

"Messi!

In the stands of the Louis II Stadium, the Barcelona fans cheered, and their outburst of momentum suppressed the voices of the Dortmund fans and became the master of the moment!

In stark contrast to the excited Barcelona fans, most of the Dortmund fans were dejected with their heads in their hands, except for those who booed from the die-hard fans.

They fear that the team they support will be reversed by the Cosmos Barcelona......

"A player of Leao Messi's calibre shouldn't have given him any chance, and the young Ilkaj made a big mistake in Don's absence," said Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp's expression became very serious, and he was not blaming Gundogan, but thinking about how to exceed the score again.

With 64 minutes on the clock, it's time to make a substitution!

Klopp turned his head and shouted at his assistant Gerlico Bouácci, telling him to call Pirlo over.

It just so happened that Gundogan received a yellow card and could replace him with Andrea Pirlo.

Although Pirlo's defensive ability is slightly inferior to Gundogan's, his game experience, his support in the midfield and the attacking playmaking are something that Gundogan can't keep up with.

After Messi and his teammates celebrated the goal, he glanced at Tang Zheng demonstratively and held his head high.

But he saw Tang Zheng clapping his palms vigorously and shouting at his teammates with low expressions: "Brothers! It's just a draw, not a lag? Don't make such a look! What we need to do is to overtake the score again!"

What is Captain?

That's the captain!

When the mood of the teammates is not high, calm the restlessness caused by the loss of the ball.

Immediately, Tang Zheng also comforted Gundogan alone: "Ilkayi, you don't have to think too much, Barcelona is too strong, scoring goals is an expected result, even if you don't foul, it is a very troublesome thing to let Messi enter the penalty area." ”

"Hmm. ”

Gundogan didn't talk much on the pitch, but he nodded, but a fire burned in his heart, especially after seeing Andrea Pirlo finish his warm-up and prepare to play.

The game is restarting and Barcelona are hoping to win Dortmund in one go.

However, Dortmund, who has the advantage of kick-off, is very patient and stable under the dual control rhythm of Tang Zheng and Gundogan.

The Barcelona players had to retreat to the half, expecting to switch from defense to attack.

Tang Zheng received a pass from Sven Bender in the 40-metre area, and Gundogan stepped in to join the attack.

In the face of Busquets's sudden up-and-forth, Gundogan subconsciously pulled the ball back, and at the same time set up his elbows to expand the area of the card position.

However, at this moment, Busquets, who had not been inconspicuous, suddenly screamed, covered his face and fell backwards, looking very painful.

The referee decisively blew the whistle and pointed to the direction of Barcelona's attack, that is...... Dortmund offensive foul!

"Woo-woo-"

The Dortmund fans suddenly erupted in loud boos to Busquets, who was acting.

At the same time, Gundogan was afraid to explain to the referee because he had already carried a yellow card: "I didn't touch him at all. ”
