Chapter 1011: How to Adjust

After the start of the second half, Barcelona's attack regained its layers and became more patient.

Pep Guardiola watched for two minutes before returning to the dugout and sitting down.

Because he was very happy with the change in the team, he was playing exactly as he did at half-time, as long as it went in a normal direction, it was only a matter of time before he equalised in the second half, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

Ancelotti was also pleased with the team's performance in the early stages of the second half, and Barcelona started to invest more in the second half, so it is okay to sit in the dugout with the team's defence relatively solid.

In the blink of an eye, the last five minutes of the game were played by both sides, but overall Barcelona had a certain advantage.

With their little quickness up front and more off-ball runs than in the first half, the Valencia defenders had no time to concentrate on attack.

After being unable to get support up front, Iroh also chose to return to his own side to assist in the left side of the defense......

"Barcelona in the second half strengthened the combination of passing, as the time of possession increases, the hidden threat of their attack to the goal becomes greater, Ancelotti must find a way to solve the unfavorable situation that the team is now encountering at this time, otherwise the score will likely be equalized by Barcelona who have rebounded strongly, and then the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of Barcelona, because the end of the second half is the end of the game, and there is no chance to enter the dressing room......"

With Valencia's offense in question, Valencia No. 1 sports station commentator Hyde analyzed with a frown.

Canizares, who was sitting next to him, said disapprerovingly: "Actually, let's not be so pessimistic, the game is still ahead of us, and the defense looks a little unstable in the past few minutes, but we can look at the problem from another angle, with the investment of Barcelona's attack, will there be a hole in the defense?" ”

Hyde, as the top football commentator of Valencia's No. 1 sports station, immediately realized that he had missed the point, and as soon as his voice changed, he laughed: "What the 'Dragon' said makes a lot of sense, Barcelona's continuous attack will definitely make them ignore the defensive line, and then our Ai can take the ball and go straight to the Yellow Dragon to expand the score!" ”

At this time, countless Valencia fans sitting in front of the TV just happened to see from the camera that Albelda predicted Xavi's pass to Iniesta in advance, and then Cazorla got the ball straight to Ailo......

If it weren't for Mascherano's defensive focus, Cazorla's purposeful pass would have gotten to Elo's feet and led to a quick counter-attack.

Although this wave of counterattacks was not successful, whether it was the fans at the scene or in front of the TV, they firmly believed that as long as it continued, it was only a matter of time before there was a problem in the Barcelona backline!

After sitting in the coach's seat for nearly five minutes, Guardiola couldn't help it, and he came to the edge of the technical command area again, reminding the players on the field that they must organize the attack steadily, not blindly plug the attacking ribs, and insist on the success rate!

Messi felt like he couldn't use his strength during this time, and the Valencia defenders were in good positions and he couldn't find the slightest opportunity to break through and pass into the dangerous area.

And in the past few minutes, he has also experienced the fear of his own side switching from attack to defense, but he is very afraid that the score will not be equalized and the score will be expanded.

You must know that it is the second half of the Champions League final, and there is no room for adjustment.

Coupled with the three consecutive defeats against Valencia this season, if the score is extended at this time, the fighting spirit of the teammates will also be exhausted, and winning the Champions League will be completely useless......

As the game entered 60 minutes, Carlo Ancelotti handed over to Javi Martinez, who had a larger defensive area, and James Rodriguez, who was more attacking and Cavani, to warm up in the warm-up area and wait for the game to be played.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, the live director switched to the attack locked onto the warm-up area.

Seeing that Valencia was preparing to make substitution adjustments, the commentators in the on-site commentary bench began to make a move, and various predictions were ......

It didn't take long for Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas, Afella, Bojan and Llorente to head to the warm-up area.

'It seems that Barcelona are ready to make targeted substitutions. Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said: "Fifteen minutes into the second half, with the last half hour left in the game, all the substitutes who could play on both sides went to the warm-up area, which means that the 2010-2011 Champions League final is about to heat up!!" ”

Andy Gray went on to say: "Valencia lead the scoreline and have a lot of room for adjustment, while Barcelona who are behind have to find a way to attack and continue to play with a small and fast style? Or change the offensive strategy, go to a high school forward, add a high point and respond to the ......"

'It's a real headache, Llorente's technical characteristics are there, he does a good job of taking the ball, controlling the ball and playmaking, and he has his own set of headers, but he is a bit out of place with Barcelona's traditional tactics of Tiki-Taka, which is a real headache."

At the same time, Pep Guardiola stood on the sidelines to follow the game and communicate with his assistant Vilanova to see which adjustments would be most beneficial to the game.

"Replace Keita, bring in Cesc Fabregas, Llorente? Or is it Afellai, Bojan? "Villanova's tentative proposal.

However, it was quickly denied by Guardiola: "No, no, no...... It's a bit too early to replace Keita, so he has to make adjustments from the offensive line. ”

Vilanova frowned, Xavi, Messi, and Innis in the offensive line will definitely be replaced, and only Pedro can be adjusted.

If it is obviously not appropriate to replace Afelai, there is no point in replacing a winger without a high striker, so Afelai automatically ignores it.

Bojan showed incredible talent in his first two seasons, but with injuries reducing playing time, form is an issue that can be ruled out in such an important Champions League final, which means that adjustments can only be made here at Llorente and Cesc Fabregas.

But Cesc Fabregas is more playmaking and a little less able to score, so Vilanova proposed: "Let's switch to Llorente, he has a height advantage, he adds variety to our attack, and he can play for Messi and Iniesta, it's really not good...... We can try a wide cross! ”

Pep Guardiola nodded, and now the only way to do this is to use Llorente, so he turned to Vilanova and said, "Call Fernando and wait for the game." ”
