Barcelona walked into the dressing room with a bit of regret, while Chelsea walked into the dressing room with a bit of concern, and although the score was still a draw in the first half, the mood of the two teams was very different.

Outside the stadium, during the halftime break, experts, commentators, and commentators from all walks of life began to discuss the game in the first half, and the most mentioned ones were Messi and Lin Yu.

These people believe that the two of them played a good game for about ten minutes each, Lin Yu's excellent performance was reflected in the thirty-two minutes ago, and Messi's excellent performance was reflected in the last period of time, during that time, even if it is not an exaggeration to call him a god.

"We know that Messi's skills at his feet are very good, and this is the main reason why Chelsea have been suppressed in the last period, Mourinho did not arrange a special person to defend Messi, is this a plight?"

"Probably Mourinho thinks that Lin Yu's ability is stronger than Messi, so the importance of Messi is reduced, but they will definitely have to pay a heavy price for it!"

'The fact that the first half had already paid the price, otherwise it wouldn't have been a draw, it would have been Chelsea ahead.'

'It's also important to point out that Frank Lampard and John Terry have a glorious past, but now that they're both older and obviously not as good as the youngsters in such a tight game, if I were Mourinho, I would have chosen to replace them and replace them with more impactful defenders to stop Messi.'

'Their start was a mistake and I don't understand what Mourinho thinks, he should be like Barcelona. It's good to give more opportunities to young players like Luiz. There are also players like Mikel and Van Ginkkel, who can play. ”

……

Listen to these expert commentators. It seems that the blame for Chelsea's conceding goals lies with the backline, especially with Frank Lampard and John Terry, who seem to be unhappy with the two Chelsea decorators.

In the Chelsea dressing room, Frank Lampard and John Terry were also a little frustrated, and they also felt that their performance was not satisfactory and that they did not kill Messi at all.

"Captain! Team Vice! Don't care, who is Messi? That's the number one in the world! His skills are known to be the strongest! ”

"Yes, yes, how many teams have tried to prevent Messi from killing before, you have worked hard."

Terry sighed and said, "That's what I said. But you know what? Messi had never breached Chelsea's door before, but today ......"

"That's different, today's Messi is more energetic than Lin Yu, you see his performance, even more powerful than his peak. Even in his best period, he couldn't have connected three or four people so many times, he was simply a madman. ”

"Yes, yes, that kid isn't normal today."

Lin Yu stood up suddenly. Speaking to John Terry and Frank Lampard, he said: "Captain! Team Vice! You defended very well, if you had to say it was bad, it would have been me, I only scored one goal. It was my fault that I didn't completely hit their self-confidence and morale. ”

Lampard was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lin Yu. He continued: "Actually, you don't have to have that much psychological pressure! Defend Messi, just do your best. I can't prevent it, and it doesn't matter if he scores a goal. Don't forget I'm here! If he can get one, I'll get two, and if he gets two, I'll get three! He's fighting me? I'll let him never have a chance to surpass me! ”

Oscar clapped his hands and smiled: "Hahaha, it's still the master's strength!" ”

Hazard frowned and said: "But the problem is that we have been suppressed by Barcelona all the time, and there is no way to attack, how do you score?" ”

"I think you just care too much about Messi, so several people went to defend Messi, but they were completely stumped and couldn't even attack. That's why I said, defending Messi, one or two people is enough, if you can't prevent it, forget it, if he likes to enter, let him in, anyway, I must be much closer than him! Lin Yu said.

"Yes, yes, yes! Messi is a fart! He only scored nineteen goals, and Lin Yu scored twenty-one! It's really better than scoring goals, playing against each other, we are worthy of them! Schurrle also helped.

Maybe Lin Yu's words are a little too arrogant, maybe Schurrle's words are a bit of a sycophant, but it cannot be denied that Lin Yu's words quickly made the worried Chelsea players sweep away the decadent thoughts and become morale-high, everyone wants to fight with Barcelona, and there is no worry when they leave the stadium at all.

Jose Mourinho couldn't help but laugh when he heard the conversation inside the goal, and he was thinking about how to motivate his players and change the passive situation in the final part of the first half, but now he doesn't have to worry about it.

The strength of this group of players is not inferior to Barcelona at all! The level of solidarity is not inferior to that of Barcelona! So is there any need to be afraid of Barcelona?

No!

Not at all!

If Mourinho was afraid of Barcelona when he first came to Real Madrid to coach, then now, there is really no reason to be afraid, the other side has Messi, he also has Lin Yu, the other team's players are united enough, his players are even more united, and this is still Stamford Bridge, it is their home stadium, they have the advantage of home field, why lose? Why be afraid of an outsider?

If you don't have the strength to look down on others, that's arrogance, but if you have the strength to look down on the enemy, that's self-confidence!

Mourinho believes that Lin Yu has never meant to bow his head in front of Messi, and since he is more energetic, he will not have any possibility of keeping his hand.

And Lin Yu's best moment was in the second half, and the closer he got to the end of the game, the better he became, and there was still more to look forward to.

Mourinho pushed open the door and walked into the locker room, he didn't let the players defend against Messi for the first time, but adopted Lin Yu's opinion, since it can't be prevented, then simply don't defend it, you can't defend a Messi, and your own offense can't play at all, in that case. can only be suppressed all the time, and there is no possibility of a reversal at all.

"All these years. My football has always been conservative! I'm defensive! This is my football philosophy! But today, I listened to Lin Yu's words. I decided to fight and in the second half, we played against Barcelona! Let the whole world see that our Champions League champion is not losing to Barcelona in attack! ”

Maybe only a player like Lin Yu can make Mourinho change his previous coaching style, this is his absolute trust in Lin Yu!

……

Martino was pleased with his team's performance in the final part of the first half, highlighting several players up front and highlighting Messi's excellence.

He told his players to take advantage of the fact that most of the Chelsea defenders were stumbling over Messi. Try to suppress Chelsea's attacks, score a few more goals and don't give Chelsea any chances.

In fact, he also saw that the reason why his team was able to have a completely overwhelming advantage for a period of time was not much stronger than Chelsea in terms of strength, but because Messi alone disrupted the rhythm of the whole Chelsea team, which is the point, he doesn't know if Mourinho will make adjustments to this, but he wants to talk about it. If Mourinho doesn't change anything, then he can continue to take advantage of this advantage and attack, and if Mourinho makes adjustments, then he can look for other attacking opportunities. Players are not wooden people, especially players like Messi, the ability to adapt is very strong. There will always be a way to score goals.

In fact, it's not just that in this game. There have been a lot of Barcelona games where it has been similar.

Because Messi is too famous, too powerful. As a result, many coaches will focus on defending Messi, and the result is that when everyone's attention is on Messi, there will be holes elsewhere.

And at this time, Sanchez, Neymar, Iniesta, Fabregas and others will be able to seize the opportunity to shoot.

This was the case in the Pep Guardiola era before Martino took charge of Barca, and it is still there today.

If Messi's performance is not good, it will not be able to attract too many players from the other side, and Barcelona's attack will be difficult to play, so in fact, Messi's most important role in the team is not the Golden Ball, but to contain the opponent, so that the opponent has a sense of fear and nervousness, thus losing the ability to think rationally.

Since Lin Yu became famous, there has been a similar situation, in the Premier League, many coaches have tried to find a way to defend Lin Yu, but because they care too much about Lin Yu, they forget that there is a group of equally powerful players around Lin Yu, and as a result, they will suffer every time.

Many people know about this, and many coaches have seen it, but they don't have any effective solutions.

Why?

One reason - that is, players like Messi and Lin Yu are too strong in their personal ability!

You need heavy troops to defend him, which will lead to holes in defense and lack of strength in attack!

However, if you don't defend him, the problem will be even more serious, whether it is Messi or Lin Yu, they all have absolute personal ability to go straight to Huanglong.

Today, Chelsea met Barcelona and also encountered such a situation, and in the first half, Mourinho chose to defend Messi with heavy troops, which made the last period of the first half, Chelsea was pressed very badly, there was no decent attack at all, and it was hard to get a chance to counterattack, and it would be lost because of the nervousness of the players.

In the second half, Mourinho was already planning to give up the strict defense of Messi, and there was only one result of this, that is, Messi would definitely have more chances to score, and it would be easier.

But it would also free up Chelsea's players and get Chelsea's attack back on the ground.

It is equivalent to saying that Mourinho is putting all the treasures on Lin Yu's body, if Lin Yu's performance is not as good as Messi's, then Chelsea will lose, if Lin Yu's performance overshadows Messi, then Chelsea can win, the truth is so simple.

……

Fifteen minutes of the break seemed a bit long as the players from both teams were eager to get back on the pitch, with the Chelsea players wanting to try a new style of play and the Barcelona players wanting to continue the high-pressure football that had left Chelsea completely unable to lift their heads at all.

Through the analysis of the first half, experts, commentators and football commentators have come to the conclusion that "Chelsea will definitely defend more tightly, while Barcelona will choose to continue to attack, if Chelsea can seize the counter-attack opportunity to steal one, then it will occupy a more advantageous situation, otherwise it will be lost." ”

But at the beginning of the second half, these experts, commentators, and football commentators were dumbfounded, and Chelsea not only did not deploy heavy defenses, but also played against Barcelona.

Because the strength of the two teams is comparable, so after the attack, it is also showing a state of stalemate, but this stalemate has nothing to do with not exciting, the game is very exciting, almost you come and go, you attack, I attack, you shoot, I shoot, it's like playing a turn-based game.

No one can suppress anyone, no one can scare anyone, you hit the hinterland of my penalty area, I hit the hinterland of your penalty area, it depends on who can score first, the side that scores first will inevitably occupy a strong psychological advantage, so that the pressure on the other side increases sharply.
