When the game started again, the Barcelona players followed the instructions of manager Enrique and passed the football at their feet. And the Atletico Madrid players, who were enthusiastic and wanted to strike while the iron was hot, rushed up to grab the ball, but they could only run after the football and became the object of the Barcelona players' monkey play.

This is the football of Barcelona, and when they pass quickly, it is like a tightly designed machine, with a seamlessness and an aesthetic of order. But those who hate them will find this kind of football lethargic and insulting to their opponents.

So now when the Atletico Madrid players are being slipped around by Barcelona after the football, there are deafening boos in the stands at the Calderón Stadium – a way for Atletico Madrid fans to express their displeasure.

However, the Barcelona players have long been accustomed to this treatment, and when they go to the home games of other teams, they will almost certainly hear boos whenever they go to such a downturn. After all, these teams are their enemies, and the enemies won't appreciate their artistic football philosophy.

They don't give up on their style of play just because they've been booed by the home fans.

So no matter how the Atletico Madrid fans booed, the Barcelona players were still back and forth and did not make mistakes because of the boos.

Atletico Madrid's players are not stupid, and when they see that it is difficult to grab the ball at the feet of Barcelona players, they no longer run after the football stupidly, so as to avoid needless waste of energy.

This leads to the morale of the Atletico Madrid players who have just risen and has to fall, after all, you can't even touch the ball, what's the use of high morale?

If you can't touch the ball for a long time, all your passion will be worn out.

On the other hand, that's where Barcelona comes in. When they are dominant, they can create a lot of attacking opportunities with possession and constantly put pressure on your defence. And when they don't have an advantage, they can use strong possession to wear down the opponent's momentum, and gradually regain the initiative.

In fact, Barcelona also had such control in the past, but why was Barcelona at that time not as strong as Barcelona in the 21st century?

Before Cruyff took charge of Barcelona, Barcelona could only compete with Real Madrid domestically, and most of the time they could not win, and they were far from the number of league titles. It can only be dominated in the Copa del Rey. Knowing Cruyff, he brought the concept of all-attacking and all-defensive Dutch football, starting from the academy to transform Barcelona, and finally creating the dream team.

But even the world-famous Dream Team only won the Champions League once, and also lost 0:4 to AC Milan in the Champions League final at the peak of the Dream Team. If Blanco had said that Barcelona was a dynasty at that time, he would have been laughed out of his teeth.

But why is it that Barcelona is invincible all of a sudden, entering the 21st century?

Because they ushered in their own golden generation.

First there are Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Puyol, then Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pique.

Especially Messi.

His superb individual ability can bring some changes to the pass-and-control FC Barcelona football, and this change is very sharp. This gave Barcelona the ability to change the tempo and stab the killing blow suddenly.

Some people say that Messi is a system player, which means that without Barcelona's football system, Messi would not have his current status at all.

But I'm afraid it's the opposite, it's not that Messi can't do without Barcelona, it's that Barcelona can't do without Messi. Without Messi, Barcelona's results will definitely not be better than they are now, and it is likely that after Ronaldinho and Deco's dream second team, it will return to the level of the 90s of the last century - it is a strong team with a lot of strength, but it is impossible to win the six crowns.

Take this season as an example, Messi has scored 53 goals in 54 appearances this season, and has 27 assists, and if you reduce those goals and assists, you can see what Barcelona's results will look like......

The most terrifying thing about this team today is Messi, because this is a person who can change and break the deadlock, change the direction of the game, and decide the final outcome of the game.

In today's football, there are many people who can do this, but there are very few people who can do it consistently.

Barcelona have Messi and Real Madrid have Cristiano Ronaldo.

That's why these two people can be called "peerless double pride", although many Messi fans think that Ronaldo is purely "forcibly double pride".

Because of the existence of Messi, when Atletico Madrid found that they couldn't grab Barcelona's ball for half a day, they gave up their intention to continue pressing, avoiding Barcelona seizing the gap in the backline, and then handed the football to Messi and let Messi solve the battle alone.

In the final minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid, who were leading the game, instead shrank their defence, not because they didn't want to take advantage of the hot iron and extend their lead before the end of the first half, but because they couldn't do so. If Barcelona stole one before half-time to equalise the scoreline, it would have collapsed.

And even if Atletico Madrid tightened their defense, Barcelona did not press the attack, but continued to boo the football upside down, fully demonstrating their football philosophy, which looked like an internal training session for Barcelona.

Finally, in the midst of boos, the first half of the game ended.

Atletico Madrid took a one-goal lead, but neither they nor the commentators would have felt that the score was anything to be happy about.

Because from Barcelona's reaction after conceding the goal, it can be clearly seen that Barcelona was not messed up by Atletico Madrid's goal.

Even Jose Maria had to sigh at the end of the first half: "This Barcelona team is terrifying, they can quickly calm down after conceding a goal. I think Atletico Madrid had a one-goal lead in the first half, but in the second half it was better not to rejoice too early, otherwise be careful not to concede in the second half......"

This made Dong Jin, who was holding the radio, very depressed - obviously we are ahead, and it is our home field, but why does it sound like our prospects are worrying?

There is no reason for this world anymore!

In the dressing room, Diego Simeone did remind his players: "...... Be careful defensively and don't think everything is okay just because we're one goal ahead. Did you see Enrique's face? At the end of the first half, he looked calm, why? It's because he thinks Barcelona can turn the tables in the second half, so we have to stop them in the second half and tell them that it's wishful thinking! ”

Every Atletico Madrid player nodded earnestly in response to their manager.

They have a lot of trust in Diego Simeone's words, and they believe everything Simeone says. Since the manager said that the second half was dangerous, they naturally played with the spirit of 120,000 points to face the second half.

Meanwhile, in the locker room in Barcelona.

Enrique praised his team's performance after conceding a goal in the first half: "That's it! If you want to win the championship, you have to do it! What is boo? The boos of our opponents are the best recognition of us! Let them boo louder in the second half! ”

Then he made tactical fine-tuning, mainly to make Messi closer to Atletico Madrid's goal, it is obvious that Atletico Madrid's defense is very tight, if you only rely on the opponent's 30-meter area back and forth, it is difficult to tear apart the Atletico Madrid defense, so Messi needs to break through more directly, whether it is to break through with the ball, or to cooperate with teammates after the air cut run, to be closer to Atletico Madrid's goal.

This will greatly increase Messi's threat and put pressure on Atletico Madrid's defence, making them more confusing.

And once the chaos starts, Barcelona can take advantage of the chaos to win.

Messi didn't express his confidence very loudly, he just nodded, his eyes shining sharply.
