I have to say that Barcelona is worthy of being a top giant, and so many top masters in the team are not vegetarians, they panicked for a while, but quickly adjusted themselves.

When Barcelona won the ball, Xavi did not rush to send the football forward, and after deceiving the Sampdoria player Obiang who was grabbing, he turned around and passed the football back, and at the same time gestured to his teammates in the front, signaling them not to worry, to be steady.

The Catalan commentator was satisfied: "Oh yes, that's it. Sampdoria are hoping to speed up the pace of the game so they can take advantage of the troubled waters. But we can't do that, possession is our strength, we can't follow their rhythm. Hold on and wait for the excitement to get behind Sampdoria's goal and the game will return to the rhythm we are familiar with...... At the critical moment, it is still the veteran captain Xavi who is reliable! ”

So Barcelona, under Xavi's command, began to kick the ball backwards, that is, not to kick the football forward, and Iniesta also retreated and participated in the process of kicking.

The Sampdoria players came up and grabbed it a few times, but they could only run with the football butt, and they couldn't grab it.

The stands resounded with the boos of the Sampdoria fans, which grew louder and louder, resounding throughout the stadium.

Barcelona remained unmoved, sticking to their ways, squirming Sampdoria's fighting spirit and patience with a drowsy inverted foot.

Although the field made Sampdoria fans very unhappy, it was really effective.

At Barcelona's back and forth, Sampdoria's previous terrifying offensive momentum has been effectively curbed - they can't get the ball, how can they attack?

Even if the ball is back at the feet of the Sampdoria players, the previous sharpness is also worn away.

Sampdoria's offensive fell back, and even the singing of the Marassi Stadium weakened a lot, after all, the singing was interrupted by boos, and it was not easy to regain momentum, and there was no switch for emotions.

Sampdoria's players have yet to recover from this huge gap when they have problems at the back.

In the 36th minute, Sampdoria made a mistake on his own cross from midfield, and the ball fell to Iniesta.

Andres Iniesta dribbled past Kostic and slotted straight down the right flank.

There's a huge gap over there, and there's no one to keep an eye on Messi!

"Messi!!"

In the roar of the Catalan narrator.

Messi cuts into the box after receiving a pass from Iniesta!

At this time, Sampdoria's defender Alberto Massi had already posted up, but after Messi entered the penalty area, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only raise his hands and hit Messi with his body.

Messi carried Marcy on his shoulder, and when he was about to lose his balance, he shot low!

The ball scurries towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Romero didn't pounce.

"The ball is in! Messi! He stood up! Equalized for Barcelona! The Catalan narrator sighed. This is the twenty-sixth goal scored by Messi in the last 23 Champions League games, and the efficiency is amazing! ”

The game is finally back on track......

"Ah...... Sampdoria made a mistake when defending, they actually had a huge gap on Messi's side, resulting in Messi being unmarked! Barcelona's most dangerous player is unexpectedly untargeted! It's incredible...... "Careza feels sorry for Sampdoria.

"I have to say that Sampdoria had a lack of concentration after the onslaught, and such defensive mistakes were terrible!" He Ping shook his head and said, he still had something to say in his heart: this is the embodiment of the difference in strength between the two sides.

When Messi scored, the Marassi Stadium, which had been lively for more than ten minutes, was much quieter, and Sampdoria fans held their heads in their hands, feeling regret and pain for the goal they had lost.

After the goal, Messi did not celebrate, but raised a fist and waved, and it was as simple as celebrating the equalizing goal.

It doesn't seem to be too difficult for him.

Behind him, Marcy jumped to his feet, feeling twelve points of unwillingness at the goal conceded.

He now regrets why he didn't use any more force in the first place, maybe Messi would have missed the shot.

The Catalan reporters in the media table glanced at the Italian reporters next to them, and when Berardi scored just now, the group of Italian reporters cheered loudly, as if Sampdoria had won the game, which really made many Catalan reporters very unhappy.

Well, those guys are all silent in front of Messi's goal, and now it's their turn to cheer for the Catalan fans.

They chanted in Catalan: "Long live Messi!" Barcelona must win! ”

There were also people who waved their fists at Italian reporters when they shouted like this.

Although everyone is a journalist, it doesn't mean that they will have any friendship with each other, and they will not get used to each other.

After Messi's goal equalised, the game was indeed back on track – Sampdoria shrank back into the bus and waited for the next chance to attack, while Barcelona slowly went back and forth.

The scene was a bit dull and lethargic.

Fortunately, the dullness didn't last long, and the first half was over.

"At half-time, Sampdoria played a 1-1 game with Barcelona at home, with two goals in 45 minutes, which should have been a great game, but in fact most of the time, the game was relatively ......dull," He Ping said. For Chinese fans who stay up late to watch the game, it is a little hard, I suggest that during the halftime break, everyone should not sit in front of the TV, you can get up and take a walk, move your body, and make yourself refreshed, after all, there are still 45 minutes of the game......"

He Ping was very helpless, he actually hoped that the game would be a little more open, so that Sampdoria could fish in troubled waters......

Feng Shiyu took off her headphones, but didn't get up to move, but switched to Weibo, wanting to see what everyone was saying about the game.

Seeing those people praising Gao Zheng without a bottom line, she had spirit, which was much more effective than getting up and moving.

In the dressing room, Di Francesco was cheering on his players: "You guys did a great job! Before the game, everyone boasted about Barcelona so badly, after all, it was the 'Cosmos Team'. But the result? We can score their goals just as well! So they're not that scary, and if we give it our all, we won't lose! ”

He didn't even mention the equaliser and he was sorry for conceding the goal. But he is very sensible, and with Barcelona's strong attacking firepower, it is difficult to keep the opponent from scoring a goal. So at this time, it seems how precious Berardi's goal was before.

If it hadn't been for that goal, Sampdoria would be 1-0 down by now.

He also didn't criticize the team's defensive distraction after a barrage of bombardment, nor did he say that the team shouldn't press out to attack.

In the visiting dressing room, Barcelona coach Martino criticised his team's performance: "I've repeatedly stressed not to underestimate the enemy, but honestly before conceding that goal I had the feeling that some of you were absent-minded. Football matches are fair, and if you don't do well, then the score will definitely punish you. I don't want to see this situation again in the second half, don't underestimate the enemy, do our own things well, then no one in this world can defeat us! ”

After criticizing the team, he praised Messi individually: "Messi did a good job and stayed focused on the game. The second half continues! ”

Messi just smiled shyly.

Martino then began to make some tactical adjustments: "In the second half when we got the ball, we couldn't just go back and forth on the outside, it couldn't put pressure on a team that wasn't aggressive. We have to make them feel pressured to make some changes that benefit us. So keep threatening their goal, make them realize that it's useless to swing the bus, force their defensive formation to loosen, and only then can you break down their dense defense! ”
