129 I see despair

"I see despair in your faces!" At the end of the first half, the players of both sides returned to the dressing room, and the home team's dressing room was silent, and in the silence, Guardiola shouted angrily.

He feels terrible, everyone feels terrible, Guardiola's bad thing is that he didn't guess Wenger's mind, Barcelona's tactical philosophy has been so smooth in the past two years that he has a sense of control over the world, but what about the facts?!

He speculated that the opening period would be the tone for Arsene Wenger, but now he understands that Wenger is simply trying to get his players used to that intensity, and whether Barcelona score or not during that period, Wenger will let his side go for away goals.

Pep Guardiola has realised that the reason why he would speculate Wenger like that is simply because he is too confident in his tactical philosophy and the Barcelona players, just like the Barcelona players, who are unconsciously filled with confidence from top to bottom.

Reality has slapped Pep Guardiola, as well as all the Barcelona players.

Pep Guardiola has a high reputation in this team because he has created unprecedented results, and of course he is also a famous legend of Barcelona, a former captain, and has enough confidence to stand here and reprimand his players.

"I remember just over forty minutes ago when we were in high spirits and we expected that the team on opposite us wouldn't be so easy to deal with, you were confident at the time, but now?! Look at your own appearance, dejected, I'm afraid many people think that the result of the game is irreversible, right?! ”

Looking around the dressing room and no one looking up at him, Guardiola couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"The biggest responsibility for the loss in the first half is not you, but me, I didn't expect this game to be so difficult, I didn't make the right tactical arrangements, even if this game is lost, it's mine, not yours! So I now ask each of you to look up and look at me! Guardiola wanted to decompress everyone, Xavi and they raised their heads one after another to look at Guardiola.

The players all know that Pep Guardiola is definitely responsible, but it is certainly not correct that the responsibility is borne by the manager alone, and this is not the manager's business alone.

"Xavi, tell me how we played in the first half?!" Pep Guardiola named Xavi.

Xavi was the brain, the regulator of the tempo, and he was really unhappy in the first half.

'We didn't control the tempo of the game, although maybe statistically we had a slight advantage in control, but I think our rhythm was completely disrupted by them, sometimes I was tough in midfield, they were always very fast, they were very good at tacit understanding, sometimes I struggled to find the ball. I can't believe their pushing! Xavi answered Pep Guardiola's question in a serious manner.

Pep Guardiola gave a thumbs up, "We didn't play well in the first half, this bad is our feeling and perception, even if we got the chance in the first half, we could have scored one or two, or even three goals, but we were really bad overall because we all knew that we didn't have enough control of the game!" ”

"As Xavi said, we didn't control our rhythm! This is the root cause of our failure! Anyone else needs to be added?! ”

"Their transmission is also very good, their style of play is more direct, the combination of long and short passes is very rich, and the ability to play the ball at the back is also excellent!" Pedro added.

"It's not surprising at all, it's forgotten that Mr. Bielsa was in Trapani for three years, and Trapani under his tutelage is quite good at defending high and counter-attacking on the spot, with three very tight lines! You won't forget that two years ago, we lost 4-1 to them at Google Stadium, and we only qualified by away goals that year, and their high pressing taught us a good lesson! ”

"Okay, now that we've summed up the first half, we were terrible, so how should we play in the second half?!" Pep Guardiola has captured everyone's attention, and this is when he stops summing up.

But everyone was stunned, how to play such an opponent, Barcelona had a smooth journey, conquering the world with passing control in the past two years, but unfortunately they only played against Trapani twice, only by conquering Trapani they can be regarded as conquering the world, and Trapani can only be regarded as conquering the world by conquering them.

But now it seems that Trapani under Arsene Wenger is simply impeccable, to be precise, they also have loopholes, Barcelona can create chances, but the key problem is that Barcelona have completely lost control of the results, there are teams that have been beaten by some teams in the past two years, and Barcelona's players feel that it is all luck.

But Trapani, who stood opposite today, through the last round and the first half of this round, where did they dare to say that Trapani was lucky, this is clearly the strength, and the strength is firmly placed there, if Trapani is not one of these players, if other teams use Wenger's tactics, even if Wenger has used Arsenal for more than ten years, Barcelona can still play with them, but Trapani's group of players, well, Barcelona's players do not have the courage to say that they can do it.

Trapani is much more terrible than Real Madrid, Real Madrid spends money to buy stars, but Trapani, the core skeleton has been in this team for many years, and none of the players who transferred to the team this summer are in the starting lineup, and it is not too much to say that they are the top or the pinnacle in terms of age structure, technical ability, etc.

Aware of the enemies they were facing, and stepping down from the invincible scouts of the pass-and-control gods, the Barcelona players found that they had no way to deal with Trapani's tactics, and perhaps had to play against them.

Seeing the players whispering but no one commented, Guardiola spoke.

"Honestly, I don't think there's a way to crack it unless we also defend and counter-attack like other teams! But that was too passive, we could reduce the threat of attacking the goal, but it couldn't make up for our three-goal deficit! Pep Guardiola said seriously.

Everyone's eyes were full of disappointment, but then Guardiola shook his fist heavily and said: "I can't think of a way to crack it, but is this the reason why we stop fighting?!" Is this our reason to stop fighting?! ”

Everyone knows, it's really what Guardiola said, no, this is not a reason to give up fighting, in the past two years, how many teams are far inferior to Barcelona, but very few people take the initiative to give up, because strength is not a reason to give up fighting.

Some players have a little red on their faces, they are really desperate and give up, but Guardiola has woken everyone up and there is no reason to give up no matter what.

Only when everyone had regained a sense of responsibility and a desire for the game did Guardiola continue: "We can't get back to the rhythm of the game, so why don't we go against them?!" Three goals down means we have to score four goals to win the right to qualify, and don't forget, we played awkwardly in the first half, but we created chances, but we didn't score in the end! I'm sure we had more chances in the second half because they don't have the hard work they play for too long, fitness is the biggest issue and that's where we should be optimistic! ”

"I'm convinced that as long as we can get the first goal as soon as possible, we're going to score more and more goals, guys, today at Camp Nou with 100,000 fans watching us, hundreds of millions of Barcelona fans watching us in front of the TV, the first thing we have to do is not give up, and then we take those chances and let the damn football roll into the net!"

The players roared, Guardiola shook his fists, and the fifteen-minute break came to an abrupt end as everyone walked out of the dressing room and headed out for the field.
