Chapter 1010: Second Half
Messi's facial expressions can directly reflect the mood of other Barcelona players, from a score of 1:0 to a score of 1:2, which is a result that few people can accept in a short period of time, even if it is a giant team like Barcelona.
Even the head coach Pep Guardiola frowned, put his hands in his pockets, and looked heavy, obviously suffering from some gains and losses from the deficit of the score, from leading to behind......
The commentator of Barcelona TV adjusted his mentality, drank happily, and said sensationally: "It is normal to be behind the score, looking at world football, how many teams have gone from leading to backward, and then from backward to leading?" It's just too many to count, so there's no need for us to be sad at this time, a game is 90 minutes of fighting, and now it's only been a short 43 minutes, even if you can't equalize in the first half, what about the second half? ”
When the game restarted, Barcelona consciously stepped up their attack, starting to increase the number of direct passes compared to the previous attacking strategy.
However, Valencia, who led the score, was obviously prepared to defuse them one by one.
As the time of the first half passed, Messi became more and more impatient, and the long shots after two consecutive breakthroughs were put into anti-aircraft guns.
His impatience also directly affected his teammates, and the defensive actions of the defenders began to increase, and the attacking players no longer organized the attack in a regular manner, and whoever had the ball at their feet only needed to shake off the angle and shoot from a distance.
Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at it and shook his head.
The good news for him was that the first half was coming to an end, and if that continued, Valencia could have taken advantage of the counter-attack before half-time to extend the score to two goals.
BBC commentator Lineker looked at Barcelona's chaotic attack, shook his head and said: "Whether it is Messi, Iniesta, or Pedro, they are obviously affected by Ai's goal, they are all desperate to use their individual ability to equalize the score before the end of the first half, but they ignore the most important factor of the football game at this time, and the speed is not up to ......"
Just after the forty-five minutes of legal time was out, the fourth official standing on the sidelines held up an electronic card with one minute of stoppage time.
Valencia saw that Barcelona was so vigorous, so they had to avoid its edge and wait for a counterattack.
Anyway, it was already a big surprise to overtake the score before the end of the first half, and of course, it would have been better if he could have scored another goal before the referee Kaushoi blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Valencia supporters in the stands were very strong, booing desperately in the final stages of the first half, disrupting Barcelona's attacking line.

As Messi dribbled past Albelda's defence and fired a long-range shot over the crossbar, Hungarian referee Kaushoi blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Captain Albelda, meanwhile, hugged his teammates on the pitch and knew that the end of the first half meant a real countdown to the end of his career, as it would be difficult for him to hold on to 90 minutes with his current fitness.
Especially when hugging Iroh is the hardest, and at the same time saying in Iroh's ear, "Thank you!" ”
Iroh didn't speak, just patted Albelda on the shoulder, and silence was better than sound.
In fact, Iroh was quite speechless, he found out that he was in Valencia to bid farewell to the captain's life......
The 2006-2007 season was a farewell to Canizares in the Champions League final, while the 2010-2011 season was a farewell to Albelda.
When the players from both sides walked to the aisle, the live director gave the camera to the faces of the key players on both sides of the final - Iello and Messi, and used technical means to push them to the face of the extra-fine forehead.
And the expressions of the two directly reflect the instant score......

"Well, the first half of the game is over, Valencia relied on two goals from Ailo to overtake the score on the field, leading Barcelona 2:1 into the dressing room, which is very beneficial to their deployment in the second half, especially the goal of overtaking the score, which is completely the most vivid reflection of Valencia's rapid counterattack, which will greatly limit Barcelona's overall attack."
At the end of the first half, CCAV-5 cut the camera back to the Beijing studio, and the commentator Duan Huo said.
Gong Lei nodded and responded: "Duan Huo is right, the score on the field is very favorable to Valencia now, but in the second half, you need to deal with Barcelona's counterattack, after all, this is the Champions League final, a decisive victory, Barcelona who has entered the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons will definitely not give up easily!" ”
"According to Gong Gui, the second half may be a great opportunity for Valencia to extend their scoreline, and Elo's pace will play a crucial role......
By this time, the players from both sides had already entered their respective dressing rooms.
It's just that the mood is different from each other, the Valencia players are relatively relaxed, while Barcelona are sad.
They are worried about a four-game losing streak against Valencia this season......
Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with his team's performance in the first half, focusing on several players who performed well in the first half, even those who did not perform satisfactorily.
So the atmosphere in the locker room is very good.
In the dressing room at the other end, the Barcelona players were as dead as they had been at half-time against Valencia.
Coach Pep Guardiola didn't have a good idea of this, this is his third season in charge of Barcelona, which was supposed to be a season of Champions League results, but facing Valencia's nemesis, it is really speechless......
Just when Pep Guardiola gave up on boosting morale, Messi suddenly took a step forward and said unexpectedly: "We can't just despair like that, there is still a second half of the game, we still have a chance!" ”
Everyone, including Pep Guardiola and Vilanova, is looking to Messi.
"I know what's going on in everyone's minds, and so do I...... Honestly, we think we lost this game and the last three games have shown that. Speaking of this, Messi's voice changed: "But you think about the fans who cheered for us in the stands, we are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for them!! ”
Pep Guardiola said at the right time: "There are still 45 minutes left in the second half, there is enough time for us to equalise, and even overtake is possible!" ”
The Barcelona players looked at each other, and soon, their expressions changed and they became resolute.
It was clearly Messi and Pep Guardiola's words that made a big difference......
When the players of both sides appeared on the field, the mental outlook of the Barcelona players changed drastically, if it were not for the scoreboard showing 1:2, otherwise everyone thought that Barcelona was the lead......
