In the first half, both sides scored one goal each. Both sides played good balls for a while, and the score did not really reflect the actual situation on the field, and both sides definitely got more than one chance to score. So when referee Lahoz blew the half-time whistle, the players on both sides had similar expressions. Regret and unwillingness.

Compared to the players, Simeone and Valverde have flat expressions. They have made detailed plans before the game, and even some unexpected situations, such as leading or falling behind by a large score, and one more or less person on the field, have corresponding coping strategies. The result of the half-time draw was exactly what the two managers would normally expect. This is the rhythm of a strong conversation.

However, the mood of the two managers is still different, Barcelona is in a passive situation to pull the score back to the same running line, Valverde's mood from nervous to relaxed, as soon as he enters the door he encourages everyone: "Good job, guys! This is the spirit of our Barcelona! I can tell you the good news, Real Madrid and Valencia have both lost. In other words, they have fallen behind, and the only threat to us is the opponent next door. I hope to give you not a burden, but the motivation to win. You're all the best players. There is still half a half, take them out and the championship is not far away. ”

There was a glint of excitement in the eyes of every Barcelona player. FC Barcelona is desperate from top to bottom to be crowned league champions again. The fierce competition in La Liga, especially the pattern of Real Madrid and Barcelona taking turns to sit in the bank, has always kept these stars full of honor hungry and urgent, for fear of being left behind by their opponents. It will not be like Bayern Munich, which is almost an absolute giant in the Bundesliga, and has won the championship at least three rounds in advance in the last four seasons, and such a championship monopoly will make players have honor fatigue and a blind sense of superiority.

The most obvious contrast is the Champions League. Real Madrid and Barcelona have basically been able to represent La Liga in the final in the last four seasons, and the probability of winning is very high. And Bayern is obviously almost competitive when it reaches the semi-finals, because the final stage of the Champions League is also the end of the five major leagues, and the situation in the Bundesliga and La Liga is different, which naturally causes the difference in excitement between Bayern and Real Madrid and Barcelona players.

Some fans may not be convinced, what should Bayern abuse giants like a dog during the Guardiola period?

Don't forget, Pep Guardiola's 2013 year when Bayern Munich took over, coincided with Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund winning two consecutive league titles. Bayern is a rare opponent in the Bundesliga, and even at a disadvantage, until the end of the season, the nerves of the players did not dare to relax for a moment, which naturally ensured that everyone did not dare to let go of this breath before the end of the season.

The ownership of the championship is not just as simple as worth or paper strength, the more you get to the end, the more you fight, who can last longer.

……

Simeone also received the news of the defeat of the other two title rivals, but he used it to spur the players: "The opportunity is in front of us, winning this game is only one step away from the championship, are you going to let this opportunity slip under your feet?" In the second half you have to be more aggressive and run with them! I usually train your physical fitness, not so that you can contribute in bed at night! If you can't grab Iniesta, then put him down! In short, you can't let him pass the ball around in front of you! ”

At the start of the second half, the situation on the pitch became interesting. Under Iniesta's control, Barcelona dominated the field and continued to take the initiative in the second half of the first half, but were not in a hurry to attack, and the ball was back and forth between the defenders and the midfielder for most of the time. Atletico's back is like a crazy bull, bringing down Iniesta again and again.

The Camp Nou stadium booed for a while, but He Wei didn't quite understand the intentions of the two sides. With Atletico Madrid's extremely inefficient pressing, isn't Simeone worried about the lack of fitness of the players in the last ten or twenty minutes?

"Maybe Simeone wants to use high pressure to give the opponent a dismount first, and reverse the momentum of both sides on the court first." He Wei found what he thought was the only reliable reason.

But Chinese fans watching the live broadcast did not approve of Atletico's current choice.

"Simeone should be on the defensive, even if it's more practical than pressing high posts like the one now. At the very least, it reduces physical exertion. ”

"If these backs can't provide enough protection for Wen Zhihao, he won't dare to attack boldly!"

"If Iniesta is so easy to deal with, he will not be a midfield master, you look at Xiaobai's eyes, it is exactly the same as looking at a fool, just like a monkey playing with the three backs."

"It's dangerous, I feel like Iniesta can counter-attack at any time with a long pass. This is a huge hole dug for the defender, I don't know what Simeone thinks. ”

The words "fearful" sometimes make people have to be convinced. The buddy who said that Iniesta would pass at any time to lead the counterattack had just finished playing a line, and before he could press the enter button, Iniesta really sent a long diagonal pass to the hinterland of Atletico Madrid's backfield, which happened to fall on the ribs of the central defender and fullback, and in that area, the Barcelona attacking player who followed was Messi!

Godin shouted in his heart that it was not good, and quickly took a big step, wanting to put his hand on Messi's shoulder and interfere with Messi's further movements. But Godin is tall and big, facing the small and fast Messi, the rhythm itself is very slow, and he is in an absolutely passive position, on the penalty line, Messi can have too many options, passing and shooting can form a lethal threat.

Wen Zhihao accelerated to chase back after seeing this oblique long pass, but he still couldn't reach it. Messi dribbled horizontally, used the rhythm advantage of his feet to shake off Godin's defense, and then drew an arc with the outside instep and spun towards the far corner of the goal.

Wen Zhihao, who had just arrived in the penalty area, saw the development momentum of the ball and shouted in his heart. From the point of view of the attacking player, this kind of shot has been used countless times in the game, relying entirely on angle to win. As long as it hits within the range of the goal, unless the goalkeeper can predict and move in advance, he can only surrender.

Oblak stretched his body to the limit in the air, but the tips of his fingers were still two centimeters away from the ball. At that moment, he felt desperate, powerless to stop the ball from hitting the net.

The Camp Nou stadium suddenly erupted in a scorching temperature comparable to lava, Messi and his teammates knelt in the center circle, listening to nearly 100,000 spectators chanting his name in unison, every experience, it was a pleasure, he was the king of this stadium, the faith in the hearts of the city's fans, the all-powerful god.

On Atletico's side, everyone is experiencing a psychological gap from heaven to hell.

They were equalised before the end of the first half and overtaken in less than five minutes of the second half, as if apart from that goal, Atletico really didn't have good luck today.

Winning at home, there is a voice that feels that Atletico Madrid has been stained with the light of home luck. At that time, no one cared, and Atletico Madrid fans were still sneering as winners, but when it was their team's turn, they couldn't laugh at all.

Is it really that evil?

Is luck also divided between home and away?
