Wenger's reserved retreat gave Barcelona the opportunity to control the ball, Wenger had his own ideas, but Barcelona is really not a soft persimmon, in the second half they interspersed more runs on the front line, Wenger gradually found that the situation was a little wrong, Barcelona more direct passes, more sending to the danger area, no longer blindly insisting on going around in circles, they are taking risks but also creating opportunities.

Barzagli and Boateng were very focused, they defused the crisis on several occasions, and the defense was also a beauty, and Boateng and Barzagli's wonderful performances won bursts of applause from the fans of Google Stadium.

On the contrary, what Wenger thought on Trapani's side did not come true, one is that Barcelona are more focused and rarely make mistakes, and on the other hand, their fouls are more resolute, Trapani midfielders have difficulty seizing opportunities to pass forward, Pedro has contributed two fouls to Barcelona, and the idea is to try to prevent Trapani's players from launching a fast attack from the back.

Wenger started to be a little nervous, and Pep Guardiola, who was not far away, was also nervous, it was useless to just look good, it was practical to score, there was a threat to the ball, but there were not many real chances on goal, which is a clear proof of the role of the Trapani backline.

The game went 65 minutes and 20 minutes into the second half, but Barcelona still couldn't break through Trapani's goal, they had an absolute advantage, and Trapani even had a situation where they didn't want to attack but couldn't do it.

Arsene Wenger decisively asked Messi to get closer to the midfield and enhance the midfielder's ability to carry the ball and push forward.

This change is still quite effective, the distance is closer, there are more points in the middle and back, and Trapani's midfield control is quite good, Trapani's possession rate has increased during this time, and he has begun to gain the upper hand.

Trapani's midfield control of the back-pass looked no worse than Barcelona's, and they broke away from Barcelona's high pressing tactics to win applause from the Google Stadium fans.

Barcelona undoubtedly performed better after the start of the second half, but Trapani performed better at this time, and they also created a few good chances, still Suarez's shot was closer, this time he did not waste the opportunity, and after receiving the ball in front of him, he singled out Pique's chance, but unfortunately his shot angle was tricky, but Valdés also saved quite beautifully.

Valdés and Kameni are definitely an interesting pair of goalkeepers, both of them are world-class goalkeepers, but they are also known by many media as the weak environment of Barcelona and Trapani.

The two of them played today but not wonderful, in addition to everyone's defensive strength, these two goalkeepers also contributed to it, Valdés failed to prevent Messi's goal in the first half It is also a reasonable thing, it is a single goal, Messi is a top scorer who rarely grasps it.

The time slowly came to nearly 80 minutes, Messi signaled to Wenger to make a substitution after a pass, and in the 82nd minute, Wenger made the first substitution adjustment of the game between the two teams, Cavani came on and replaced Messi, who was a little uncomfortable.

Messi immediately asked about his situation after the team doctor got off the field, Messi told the team doctor that his knee felt some pain and discomfort, and he had a collision with the other party just now, and after a detailed examination by the team doctor, no major problems were found, and the medical staff gave Messi an ice pack, let him apply a cold compress, and then do a detailed examination tomorrow.

Wenger didn't care about whether Messi was really injured at this time, he was engrossed in the game, there were more than ten minutes left in the game, he definitely didn't want his team to concede a goal in this time period, he kept directing the team to transfer the ball, at this time he asked the team to keep an inch on the ball, reducing the time Barcelona held the ball.

Barcelona's tactics summed up in recent years can be described in one sentence, "Kick your own ball, let others have no ball to play!" Wenger adopted a Barcelona-style style of play in the final period, competing for the ball and controlling the ball, making it difficult for Barcelona to launch an effective attack.

Pep Guardiola changed three people in a row, mainly for physical support, the energy consumed by the strikers on both sides is actually quite large, and the constant interspersed running and sprinting are particularly physically demanding, in the final analysis, everyone is just gritting their teeth to support.

"Looks like this today!" Hugo said to UEFA President Michel Platini.

"Until the last minute, it's hard to say, now everyone is tired, and a casual mistake can have serious consequences!" Morek cautioned Hugo not to be too optimistic.

"Yes, Gigi, you still have to be patient, now I can only say that there is an eighty percent chance that you will get a victory!" Platini agreed with Morek and shrugged and smiled.

"Of course, I still said I know, do you know that the Chinese have a proverb about football?! Football is round! Hugo laughed, and the crowd understood what it meant, and they all laughed.

"You are two of the most spectacular teams in Europe, this is the direction of the future of football, the score of this game should not be big, but the level of excitement is still very high, anyway, today was a great experience for the fans! An unbelievable pitch, a great game, it was a great night! Platini complimented.

Soon the game was over and Thomson blew the whistle for the whole game, his penalty today was a bit light, not even a yellow card, and of course there were several controversial decisions for him.

In the second half, Iniesta fouled Messi and deserved a yellow card, but Thomson did not come out, and the Trapani players are very concerned about this yellow card, because according to the rules of the UEFA game, if Iniesta gets a yellow card in this game, then he will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards in the next round at Camp Nou, Messi is not injured is one thing, but Trapani obviously does not want to see Iniesta in the next round.

Then there is Mascherano, who is also one yellow card away from being suspended, and he also had a serious foul in the second half, Thomson is really a bowl of water, and he also did not give Mascherano a yellow card, which also caused dissatisfaction among Barcelona fans.

Hugo said to Platini that Thomson's penalty scale is too lenient, even an English referee should not be like this, Platini smiled but did not explain too much, the first point of being a referee is fairness, it doesn't matter if you are stupid, but you don't be unfair, Thomson may be a little looser, but in general, they are all treated equally, Platini feels that there is really nothing to complain about this, Hugo is moaning without illness, the common problem of Serie A bosses, eating and sleeping and scolding the referee.

The 1-0 victory at home against the opponent, this is a good result, not too much advantage, Wenger is also very satisfied, after the game he and Guardiola also exchanged a few words, Guardiola was a little surprised that Wenger adopted a variety of coping strategies in the game, including negative defense, but Wenger said to him: "I haven't changed anything, your control is too strong, I am honest, I have not found the right tactics to crack you, the whole game you also know that we can only occupy a certain advantage in a certain part or time period!" ”

"That's good, today you crack my tactics! No tactic is perfect! Guardiola's views are not at odds with Wenger's, who is at the bottom of the pitch but does get a good chance in terms of details and localities.
