Chapter 1014: The Post-Barcelona Era Is Coming!

"The crisis in Barcelona has arrived!"

In the office of the Saint-Germain-Leon training base in Paris, Gao Han said very calmly.

At this moment, the TV is broadcasting the 20th round of La Liga, Chinatown hosts Barcelona, and the time is just in time for halftime, which allows Gao Han and others to have more time to sum up the first half.

One to two, this was the score at the end of the first half.

There was no doubt that Barcelona continued to dominate possession on the pitch, dominating the game with almost twice as much possession as Chinatown, and they scored twice in half an hour, with Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring in quick succession.

But sometimes, the data can be deceiving.

If you look at the beginning, Barcelona did play more actively, with a quick and varied attack that made the visitors' attack very sharp, and Pochettino's side continued to press high without backing down, but at a terrible cost.

In less than a minute of the opening minute, Messi got a successful single chance against offside, from Ibrahimovic's pick and pass, allowing Messi to easily face goalkeeper De Gea, but Messi's shot failed to break through the goal and was slightly wide.

But soon, it was another cross from Alves on the right, Messi deliberately missed the edge of the penalty area, Ibrahimovic got the ball and shook Godin, and shot directly from the edge of the box, penetrating the goal of Chinatown.

After a disadvantaged start, China City quickly launched a counter-attack, first taking advantage of a set-piece opportunity in front of the goal, Griezmann played the first shot on goal, but unfortunately hit the side-netting and failed to score, and then it was Hazard's pass, Griezmann shot from the edge of the box, but it was slightly wide.

Barcelona quickly reorganized, Xavi began to exert force, a precise through ball, once again tore apart the defense of China City, Messi inserted into the penalty area, in front of the goal to push the goal from close range, 2-0.

After that, the two sides attacked and defended each other, China City scored once, but the referee whistled for offside, and Barcelona also had a very dangerous attack, Messi kicked the goal, but hit the post.

When the game reached the 41st minute of the first half, China City played a counterattack on the right side, Danilo advanced to the right side of the penalty area along the right side, and crossed directly, Griezmann grabbed the first landing point, and then nodded the ball and ferried to the top of the penalty area.

After Pelle blocked the two Barcelona centre-backs with his body, he stopped the ball with his chest, turned and crossed diagonally to the left, Hazard quickly cut in and hit a far corner with his left foot to score a crucial goal for Chinatown.

There was another chance for Chinatown afterwards, when Esco crossed the ball and Hazard got his foot up 12 yards from goal on the left side of the box, but goalkeeper Valdés flew to save it.

Throughout the first half, if you analyze the statistics and scores, Barcelona undoubtedly had the advantage, especially the two goals in the opening half an hour, and the possession rate of more than 60%, which is undoubtedly quite desperate.

I believe that everyone who watched the live broadcast of the game will not feel this way, on the contrary, they will feel that there is not much difference between Barcelona and Chinatown, the two teams have attack and defense against each other, and they look similar.

Even, to some extent, Chinatown played more passionately than Barcelona.

……

"They're unbeaten in 19 games this season, with 18 wins and a draw just behind us, and Vilanova's side are pretty well organised in attack and defence, and statistically they are absolutely impeccable. ”

Sergio Garcia took Gao Han's words and analyzed the match in depth.

Paris Saint-Germain are aiming for the Champions League this season, and a team like Barcelona will be a strong rival for PSG.

"If we dig deeper into Barcelona's player statistics, it is not difficult to find that in fact, whether it is in the movement of players or the pressing of the midfield, Vilanova has consciously weakened this season, and their overall control is declining. ”

Gao Han nodded in agreement with Sergio Garcia's analysis.

"In fact, what you said, Guardiola already knows, the same group of players, playing together for so many years, winning so many honors, it is a matter of time before they show fatigue, Puyol and Xavi are not young, in the case of success, it is difficult for them to maintain the same high-intensity pressing as before. ”

"But the paradox is that Pep Guardiola's success at Barcelona is based on the fact that the players run tirelessly to press the opposition, and they are not only pressing the opposing players to seize advantageous positions, but also maintaining close contact with their team-mates, which makes Barcelona's attack and defense switch faster. ”

"Vilanova's change is understandable, it is unreasonable to continue to maintain that kind of high-intensity pressing tactics after the players have aged and shown fatigue, but judging from the performance of this game, they have weakened too much in terms of pressing and pressing, and it is too big, I guess there is a relationship within the team. ”

Even when Guardiola was there, he couldn't take the players in the team, and Vilanova, who was in the position of assistant coach, was naturally even worse, not to mention that Vilanova's body was also very problematic, and he was always going back and forth between the hospital and the team, and Lula couldn't control the stars in the team at all.

Judging from the situation in the first half, Chinatown will definitely have a chance in the second half, and it will be up to Pochettino to adjust and how Vilanova intends to respond.

"Ilya Ramendi was in good form and against Barcelona he was obviously more experienced. Zidane also opened his mouth to analyze.

"A lot of teams meet Barcelona and it's often difficult to deal with the point of restraining Messi, but in this game Illah Ramendi was very smart, not only often blocking Messi's inner lane, but also often pressing Xavi forward. ”

After a pause, Zidane said: "I don't know if you have noticed, several times Messi cut in, when receiving Xavi and Iniesta's passes, Ilia Ramendi stood in front of Messi, protecting the defense very well, and did not give Messi a chance, I think this point should continue to be strengthened in the second half." ”

"As long as Messi and Ibrahimovic are frozen, the second half is completely playable. ”

Gao Han and Sergio Garcia glanced at each other and laughed in unison.

…………

…………

As it turns out, what Zidane said, Pochettino also saw.

At the start of the second half, Chinatown was consciously freezing Messi and Ibrahimovic.

With the two most threatening players in the front court frozen, although Barcelona held the ball, it lacked penetration and could not play a sharp attack, but it was Chinatown that frequently seized Barcelona's mistakes to launch counterattacks.

In the 55th minute, China City counterattacked, Griezmann and Danilo formed a combination on the right side, and a cross from the right side was blocked from the bottom line, forming a corner kick, and Griezmann personally took the corner kick.

This time the penalty was very precise, Miranda header in the box was crossed to the back post, and Hazard, unguarded, faced with the incoming ball, directly volleyed through Valdés again.

With two goals in a row, almost all in the same position, Alves' defense in this game was really difficult to be satisfactory with.

But after China City scored two goals in a row, it was like a bamboo, and continued to chase Barcelona to attack.

The momentum shown by the home team once made Barcelona very jealous and had to adopt a more conservative posture.

The two sides continued to attack and defend each other, and both teams also made frequent substitutions.

Mauricio Pochettino replaced youngster Alvaro Morata in place of centre-forward Pelle.

Although the Italian center forward did not score in this game, he was the first goal of the team, which fully reflects his tactical value in the team.

Not scoring, but he can help his teammates score.

Eden Hazard, who scored twice, remained on the pitch and was still very active.

The game went into stoppage time, with two minutes of stoppage time raising doubts that the game could have ended in a draw.

Unexpectedly, in the first minute of stoppage time, Hazard's dribbling on the left side was cut off, forming a throw-in.

Alex Sandro took the ball out of bounds, Isco received the ball on the left flank, and under the bag of two Barcelona defenders, he forced the ball out and curled a left-footed ball into the small box on the left side of the box.

Alvaro Morata quickly shook off Pique and fired a shot from close range to send the ball back into Valdés' goal.

The Barcelona goalkeeper made a fatal mistake and he could have made a move, but he hesitated.

Three to two, Chinatown reversed Barcelona at the last moment!

It was also Barcelona's first defeat of the season.

The entire Brock Stadium went completely crazy, and more than 10,000 Chinatown fans shouted wildly.

The youngster Morata was even more excited, rushing to the sidelines and excitedly celebrating with his teammates who had caught up.

After this game, he is bound to make a name for himself!

…………

…………

The match ended with a score of 3-2.

China City won 3-2 at home to Barcelona thanks to Eden Hazard's brace and Alvaro Morata's goal.

But it's not just a league game, it's not just three points, it's not just the point that ended Barcelona's 19-round unbeaten run, it's more like a turning point in La Liga.

"The post-Barcelona era is coming!" Gao Han said excitedly after watching the game.

The dream three-team dynasty brought by Guardiola came to an end with this game.

There is so much to be condensed in this short 90-minute game, but one thing is undoubted, after tonight, Barcelona will no longer be the formidable Dream Three, and the nineteen-round unbeaten run is more like a return to the Dream Three dynasty.

Chinatown tore this fig leaf of Barcelona to the world with an iron-blooded reversal.

Perhaps, from now on, Barcelona can still win the championship and win, but they are no longer a nightmare in La Liga, and they are no longer an invincible Cosmos team.

At the end of this round, Barcelona continued to lead the La Liga standings with an overwhelming advantage, followed by Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, and China City relied on the three points won by Barcelona in this round of reversal, and once again counterattacked in the standings and returned to fifth place.

One round of heaven, one round of hell.

Mauricio Pochettino's side's stubborn comeback from two goals down at home to Barcelona was a testament to the team's tenacity and determination to win, which will be a huge boost for the team ahead.

On the other hand, Barcelona, after this battle, Chinatown has torn their wounds open and exposed to the whole of Europe, maybe they can continue to lead in La Liga, but it is difficult to make a difference in the Champions League with such a performance.
