I have to say that Barcelona's attitude in this game is indeed much better than the previous game, from the moment the players entered, Barcelona fans were helping the team to put pressure on Atletico Madrid, they sang the team anthem, spelling out the huge TIFO of the Barcelona team emblem...... All this is done to put pressure on Atletico Madrid, to feel the pressure, their feet are weak, their heads are dazed, and they can't concentrate on the game.

And after the start of the game, Barcelona actively pressed and launched a full-court press on Atletico Madrid.

As long as there are Atletico Madrid players with the ball, there will be Barcelona players who will immediately go up and press them, forcing them to not be able to take the ball well and think calmly.

With this pressing, Barcelona did create a lot of chances.

Shortly after the start of the game, Messi picked up a cross from the edge of the box and Pedro shot from about ten yards from the goal, but the ball was saved by Oblak.

In the ensuing corner, Atletico Madrid was caught in a scuffle in front of the goal, and in the chaos, Pique volleyed in front of the small penalty area, and the ball hit the crossbar!

"Pique! Nice shot...... Ah! The Catalan radio announcer held his head in his hands and was very sad.

"The crossbar saved Atletico Madrid! Barcelona's offensive after the opening is really fierce, you must withstand it! José Maria was worried.

However, when the televised broadcast to Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid manager appeared calm, as if he had anticipated the situation.

But he had already predicted that if he couldn't imagine how Barcelona would play when he returned to his home stadium, then he would simply not be the manager.

It's clear that Barcelona is fighting for their lives.

At this time, Atletico Madrid needs to remain calm and not be intimidated by Barcelona's rapid attack.

He even gave the backline the task of "making offsides" before the game. You must know that the offside tactic is a very high-risk tactic, which tests the tacit understanding and tactical discipline of every player in the team's backline.

And even if the players are very tacit and disciplined, it is possible to make mistakes in the game.

If you make a mistake, it can be fatal.

So not everyone is willing to use this tactic.

But Simeone used it, and I don't know if he was stupid and bold, or if he had absolute confidence in his players.

In fact, the offside tactic did work well – because the Barcelona players were in too much of a hurry. They are not in a hurry and they can't do it, after all, they are four goals behind, and they must have to attack at the beginning, and score early correctly, so that there is more time for the next three goals. If the first goal can't be scored late, then what's the reversal?

Simeone was really anxious about the Barcelona players, allowing the backline to create offside frequently.

This defense used to be the best defense in La Liga, although Miranda was replaced by Jimenez this season, Jimenez has always been in the team, and he and Godin are both international players of the Uruguayan national team, and the two of them are central defenders in the national team, and the degree of tacit understanding is no less than Godin and Miranda.

Under Godin's command, Suarez, Pedro and Messi all fell into the offside trap one after another.

But in this case, you can't complain that the Barcelona players are too anxious, and there is no way if you are not in a hurry. This is not a time to come slowly, and Barcelona's previous style of passing back and forth to control the tempo, dragging the opponent into their slow tempo and then suddenly picking up the tempo and stabbing the fatal blow is completely useless in this situation.

In addition to creating offside, Atletico Madrid also had to foul in order to stop Barcelona.

So he gave Messi a free kick 25 meters from the goal.

"The distance of this free-kick is already in Messi's range!" The Catalan narrator exclaimed in anticipation.

Watching Messi seriously place the football, take a deep breath and retreat to take the ball, many Barcelona fans in front of the TV are ready to move - this goal should be scored, right?

It really deserves to be scored. You must know that the first half has been played for thirty minutes, and the score is still 0:0. Barcelona should have scored in the opening ten minutes......

So you have to score at this time, otherwise Barcelona may not have much time left.

But under all the attention, Messi's free kick went over the crossbar!

Although it is only a little higher, it is taller, and even a centimeter tall cannot enter the door.

Barcelona were slow to score, and Atletico Madrid, although pressed in their own half most of the time, still had a chance to counter-attack.

In the 38th minute, Pedro made a mistake in the midfield, and the ball was picked up by Griezmann and tucked straight ahead.

Gao Zheng, who was at the front, received the ball and used a "croquette" to shake off Mascherano who came up to pounce and entered the penalty area.

But then his shot went just wide and hit the side-netting.

"High! Ah!! "This time, I regretted that I was replaced by José Maria with my head in my hands." Takashi missed the opportunity to end this game once and for all!! ”

Gao Zheng also regretted missing this goal, he first turned around and gave a thumbs up to Griezmann, who passed the ball to him, and then raised his head and sighed.

The Barcelona fans in the stands applauded Gao Zheng for missing this opportunity, and some people shouted at him: "This is Camp Nou, this is Camp Nou!" ”

It means that your system doesn't work with us!

※※※

Shortly after Gao Zheng missed the chance to score, Barcelona finally broke the deadlock on the field.

In the forty-third minute, Rakitic crossed on the right side of the penalty area, Suarez directly gave the football to Messi with his chest in the penalty area, and Messi ran to the empty air without defense!

"Opportunity ——!!"

At the roar of the Radio Catalunya commentator, Messi stopped the ball with his chest and then pushed it with his foot to push the ball towards the goal before Godin could get on it.

In the face of this close push, Oblak was unable to react and failed to touch the football.

The ball flew into the goal!

"Messi——!!!! Messi !! 1:4！ Only three goals away! We still have a chance! We're alive! The Catalan narrator roared excitedly.

If the Barcelona team can maintain this momentum, it is not impossible to score three more goals in the remaining 50 minutes!

Enrique rushed out of the dugout after Messi's goal and shook his fist on the sidelines.

Messi himself did not celebrate, after the goal, he rushed into the goal of Atletico Madrid as soon as possible, grabbed the football before Oblak, held it in his arms, and ran towards the center circle.

He is well aware that every second counts for Barcelona right now.

The rest of the Barcelona players also came up to hug him, but instead of celebrating, they accompanied him to take the football to the centre circle.

No one was ecstatic because they knew very well that this one goal was just the beginning, it was not enough, and they needed more goals. So it's not worth rejoicing now.

Looking at this united scene, the Catalan commentator's eyes were a little deep, and he tried to calm himself down, and said: "Barcelona's counterattack has begun!" ”
