Chapter 114: The Best Opportunity Was Missed

1:1 is an interesting scoreline and a strange scoreline, especially in this game.

At 1:0, Barcelona's possession rate was as high as 78.6%, but when the score was equalized at 1:1, the possession rate had plummeted to 65%. Excluding that time, in the 20 minutes between 1:0 and 1:1, the two teams were almost equal in possession.

This is an incredible thing for both Pep Guardiola and Mourinho, because striving for extreme possession is the foundation of Guardiola, and Mourinho sees possession as a hot iron and does not want it for him.

This shows that in the first 20 minutes, Barcelona's possession has been greatly sluggish, and Inter Milan, who was unwilling to control the ball, was forced to intercept more balls. One wants to be bad, and the other doesn't want it but can't get rid of it, like an inexplicable love triangle.

Barcelona lost the goal, on the surface, Zhuo Yang did not have any responsibility, he was a winger, and he was still wandering around two miles away when he lost the goal. And Inter Milan's advance line before the goal did not pass through his range and was not on his side.

But just like the so-called 'ball blind filter', such as Sergio Busquets, Ambrosini and others, the statistics never show how good they are, and the phenomenon does not explain the responsibility of Zhuo Yang for the goal conceded.

His disappearance caused Barcelona to be stuck in the flow of possession, which seemed to be running as usual, but in fact, there was a lack of aura and change, and the rumors gave people a rigid and rigid feeling. This kind of ball control is a kind of confusion and helplessness. In Inter's netting restrictions, such low-quality possession will only hit the net headlong.

Fans can't understand it, but Pep Guardiola is a man who understands. During the intermission, he was very hesitant and hesitated in his stomach for a long time before secretly asking Zhuo Yang.

"Zhuo Yang, in the second half...... Well...... How are you? ”

In fact, he asked a lot of redundant and amateurish questions, and Zhuo Yang couldn't say it himself: I can't do it, I can't kick anymore.

"What? Oh, I'm fine. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

As a result, Guardiola missed the perfect time to adjust, which he regretted afterwards.

Although the first half was fierce, only Samuel Eto'o received a yellow card for both sides. Keita tripped him in defence and the referee only awarded a free-kick without a card, much to Cheetah's extreme displeasure, and he hit the ball with his hands in a venting manner, finally forcing Mr. Ben Quelenka to show a yellow card, which was only given to him.

After the opening of the second half, there were no substitutions for either side, Zhuo Yang continued to play on the field and disappeared, and Barcelona continued to control the ball fluidly. As a result, Barcelona received three yellow cards in a row in ten minutes.

As soon as the game began, Busquets couldn't find the right way to get the ball out of the ball in a hurry, and he got past Zanetti who was scrambling for it. But the Sa team is not good at stubble, and immediately squeezed sideways and used the center of gravity to knock Xiaobu to the ground.

Boo, who had just been delighted with his wit, was teased like this, and then saw that the referee did not show Zanetti a yellow card, and he angrily used the football as a punching bag, just like Eto'o did in the first half. Mr Benquelenka, of course, was not going to favor one over the other, and a yellow card was given to Sergio Busquets.

Next, Puyol also had to take a tactical foul in order to stop Montergo's advance, and the same yellow card was served.

Then it was Pique's turn, also in order to stop Milito's counterattack in midfield, and was forced to commit a tactical foul and was willing to receive a yellow card.

Just like the goal conceded in the first half, the root cause of these yellow cards is because Barcelona's possession problems after Zhuo Yang disappeared, and they lost the opportunity in Inter Milan's dragnet restrictions.

Fortunately, Mr. Benquelenka's men were merciful, otherwise in the 57th minute, Busquets pulled down Mont Ergo and it would have been a yellow card, and Xiaobu should have been Game over today.

However, continuing to dominate possession in this situation did not help Barcelona win, and consecutive cards could not prevent Inter from playing sharp counter-attacks.

In the 56th minute, Inter even scored a goal. Monji suddenly sent a rib pass down the flank, and Milito followed up with a stabbing shot at Valdés. It's just that the linesman raised the flag again.

Afterwards, it turned out that this time it was not a misjudgment, and Rice's shoulder did poke out at the moment of passing, but this is a small size that can only be confirmed in the repeated slow play of high-speed cameras, if the Cardinal referee has such a sharp eye, I am afraid it is unlikely, it is largely just an intuition.

In the 60th minute, good fortune no longer came.

Messi dribbled the ball on the right side of the front court and did not find a response, so he could only force a breakthrough by himself, and was closed by Lucio and Pandev, which made Messi's eyes full of gold and anger, and he pushed Pandev from behind.

The referee blew for a foul on Messi, and it didn't matter, but the cunning Zanetti saw an opportunity, and he quickly sent a free kick at the first time and directly hit a counterattack.

The football passed through the feet of Sneijder, who was running at high speed, and the right side of the penalty area, at this time, the Pisa team's more brilliant Meng Ergo had already reached this position throughout the field. I saw that the second brother dodged the panicked Maxwell with a button and rushed in from the waistline of the penalty area.

In the face of Valdés, who attacked, the second brother was not greedy, he chose the safest treatment, and swept the other side to the horse to McConn, and the ball was safe.

2:1, Inter Milan overtook the score.

Pep Guardiola regretted that he should have replaced Zhuo Yang at half-time, and his accommodation and even fear of Zhuo Yang caused the team to miss a good lead. This conceded goal also seems to have no responsibility for Zhuo Yang, but it is precisely because of his previous disappearance that Messi, who should have been picked up, was isolated and had to take a passive strong attack.

In all fairness, if Zhuo Yang is replaced at halftime, it will be good for Guardiola, the team, and Zhuo Yang.

Less than a minute after the restart, Zhuo Yang dragged his second brother in defense and received a yellow card, while Pedro was already standing on the sidelines. As a result, Pep Guardiola regretted it even more, because the yellow card would have caused Zhuo Yang to miss the next leg at Camp Nou.

The referee held up the display board of No. 17 to replace No. 18, and after Zhuo Yang glanced at the sidelines, he continued to run diligently to McConn to clear the football outside the field, and then trotted there, and high-fived his second brother on the way.

Back on the bench, Zhuo Yang had no complaints, no dissatisfaction, only endless exhaustion.

Pedro's appearance brought Barcelona's possession back to normal, and the possession rate soared again, but this is not the situation that Inter Milan is pursuing. Mourinho also immediately made a substitution, and Stankovic came on to replace Pandev, making the dragnet restrictions thicker.

Three minutes later, the more defensively solid Zivo came on to replace the incisive McConn, and Mourinho's stubbornness was evident.

In order to save the defeat, Guardiola replaced Ibrahimovic with Abidal in the 65th minute, who also had no performance and no story. In fact, Zhuo Yang is forgivable, and Ibu is the real big scene with weak legs.

Abidal came on at left wing-back, Coffee Maxwell stepped into the left winger position and Messi went to the middle.

However, just as self-motivation is not really moving, Guardiola's self-satisfying whimsy trick is not really a trick.
