"Wonderful first half!" In the BBC studio, Lineker admired.

'Palace are a very resilient team and they tend to perform well against big teams! Daniel has a special magic for the players at Crystal Palace! "Guest Lee. Dixon was surprised by Crystal Palace's performance in the first half, genuinely with a playful compliment.

Who's to say it isn't?!

Before the first half, the media had already hyped that Crystal Palace might be beaten by Barcelona.

But this is not the case, Barcelona have the advantage, with more than 60 per cent possession, but Crystal Palace look to be the most beautiful to play, although they were a little embarrassed for a while, but overall the quality of Crystal Palace's attack is very high, as long as they play into Barcelona's half, they can almost form an effective attack.

And the score also shows that Crystal Palace is really not bad.

'They tend to have a different energy when they play against big teams, and last season's Europa League final and league games against the top six teams in the league hardly suffered a loss! Lineker nodded in agreement.

"Barcelona are still a bit underdog, they have done too little to limit De Bruyne! So that De Bruyne can easily guide in midfield! Dixon said.

"And don't forget Merlot! To be honest, I was waiting to see his jokes, but I didn't expect that in the first two games of the new season and this Super Cup, he was the main team, and his performance on the defensive end was very good! Lineker praised Melo.

Wen Sheng's use of Melo was a success, and he had already told Melo that you don't need to organize possession at the back, your task is to protect the defence.

The burden on his body is loose, and Melo is indeed eager to prove himself, whether it is training or playing very hard, he has been cultivated in the furnace of Serie A, his defensive awareness and complement awareness are very good, and the grabbing is also his unique skill.

The only concern is that he is aggressive, having been booked for a second league game against Fulham and a first-half in the Super Cup.

At half-time, the commentators discussed the deflated first half of Barcelona, and for the managers of both teams, the rest of the work was much more difficult than talking.

"No, no, no, you can't blindly pass the ball to the opponent's half! We can't give away the ball easily! ”

"I know they're very good defensively and very good at high pressing, but you guys have the physicality, guys you have the physicality! You can keep the ball at your feet and when you feel like you're going to lose the ball and kick it to the touchline, to their half! Do you understand?! Guys! ”

"Our work is productive, don't doubt your abilities, you have a way to do it!"

"Keep at it, we'll be the winners!"

Wen Sheng patted loudly to encourage everyone.

All in all, the team's performance in the first half was wonderful, limiting Messi well, and Wensheng paid special attention to the protection of the ribs, Barcelona liked to play the ribs, but the two full-backs Maggio and Hills recovered the protection of the ribs in place.

Barcelona also switched positions often and sometimes played inexplicable combinations, but Palace resisted.

Barcelona's players were also discussing the first half of the game in the visiting dressing room, and there was no doubt that Palace were causing them big problems, but they were still confident of making them look good in the second half because they were champions and they had already developed a character to be in danger.

"We've got to do a better job of blocking that number 10!" There are players who offer.

"De Bruyne!" Someone said the name of number 10.

"That's a great guy!" Worthy of being a champion, the Barcelona players did not express words of appreciation when discussing the game.

Crystal Palace players don't want to be appreciated by the players, even Pep Guardiola also admires a few of them.

De Bruyne, for example, might be able to dig up Barcelona.

There are some players he admires but may not be able to establish themselves in Barcelona, such as Benatia, who are more capable of interception, but it seems that they are not so good at the ball.

Fifteen minutes into the half-time break had passed, and the players from both sides were back on the pitch, with Quipes blowing the whistle for the start of the second half.

In the second half, Barcelona strengthened their possibilities for linking up on the edge of the penalty area, which was actually quite deceptive.

In the 48th minute, Barcelona Messi and Iniesta played a beautiful wall match at the front of the penalty area, Crystal Palace patronized to the middle, but ignored the problem on the side, Messi unexpectedly picked the side, Alves was unguarded and hit the ball near the bottom line, and passed the ball to the middle, it was still Messi, and the small penalty area was hit.

Thankfully, McCarthy's long legs worked this time and kept the ball out of the goal.

"The full-backs are even better! Start cutting in! "Wen Sheng Mingwu, Barcelona did not do a particularly good job in this area in the first half, and looking at this in the second half, the opponent should be going to attack the west.

Barcelona didn't play very well in the first half, mainly because the inche was very restricted, whether it was Messi or Pedro, the inche encountered relatively big difficulties.

"Protect yourself!" Wen Sheng gestured, signaling everyone to pull the defensive formation a little laterally, and the two full-backs must prevent the opponent's full-backs from cutting in.

Alves is very good at cutting inside, not to mention that this guy must not be taken lightly, a veritable guard with a knife, he was the team's leading scorer during his time in Sevilla.

"Harvey! A pick-up pass, Alves into the penalty area, shot! The ball was blocked by Speroni! Nice pass! "Martin. Taylor exclaimed, just three minutes from Messi's shot when Barcelona were awarded a set-piece on the edge of the box.

They didn't listen to the referee's whistle and sent it out, but fortunately the Palace players reacted quickly enough that Alves chose to shoot instead of a cross.

The goal caused great displeasure among the Crystal Palace players, who gathered around Cuppes, believing that Barcelona should hear the whistle before kicking off.

Wen Sheng smiled bitterly on the sidelines and shook his head, who is to blame for this?!

I have to blame the players themselves, they should have sent someone to stand in front of the ball.

But this Alves is also a little too sassy, he is a full-back.

Shears hurry up and give him something awesome.

Wen Sheng secretly prayed in his heart.

Wen Sheng did not pray in vain, in the 54th minute, Barcelona repeated the old trick, thinking that Shears was young and did not learn a lesson, Xavi was another straight line plug, this time Shears was already ready, the little guy also deliberately made a bad, turned around quickly and quickly and ruthlessly, fell to the bottom of the shovel, and stopped the ball directly from the feet of Alves.

Won the applause of the Crystal Palace fans, and then the little guy began to rampage unreasonably, running along the sideline, this is not the routine of Crystal Palace, the game has started to the present, the fullbacks of Crystal Palace are basically in a defensive state, and the two wingers are basically used as defensive players.

The sudden frenzy of Shears caught Barcelona off guard, while their wing-back Alves on the right was still lying on the ground.

It means that the defense on their side is suddenly one less person.

The situation is very good, Wen Sheng's instructions to the Crystal Palace players have long said that when there is a chance to counterattack, don't be afraid, the fuck is on, scare them, so the Crystal Palace frontcourt attacking players keep up quickly, look at this opportunity, what else do you say, go on!

Barcelona pressed too hard, but they didn't have speed in the midfield, and Crystal Palace was different, both up front and in midfield.

"Shills transferred the ball to N'Golo Kante, who sent it off and put it back at Sears' feet! Shills is still running with the ball and passing! "Martin. Taylor was almost on his feet.
