Chapter 312: The Semifinals Are Approaching

Commentary on the two pinnacle clashes between Barcelona and Chelsea is still coming out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he swept the opponent 6-0 and 8-0 in La Liga in a row, Enrique once said that continuous scoring was the greatest respect for the opponent, but at Camp Nou, he had the advantage and let the team change to a conservative style of play early, giving the fans most of the half more conservative than Chelsea, but Chelsea's enterprising spirit is very similar to Barcelona.

Critics believe that judging from these two games, it may be too early to say that Barcelona, which has the MSN combination, has all the qualities to continue the dream dynasty.

Barcelona are still completely reliant on the individual qualities of the MSN combination, especially Suarez's fulcrum role. In this game at Camp Nou, after Enrique replaced Suarez with Pedro in the second half, Barcelona's attack and defense immediately lowered a level, and the midfield that depended on him was completely controlled by Chelsea. Roberto is almost invisible, and Rakitic has lost his heroic performance in La Liga.

The midfield control that used to be Barcelona's true trump card has now become a veritable second-rate. The first half was able to withstand Chelsea's high pressing, long passes and transfers were not bad, and the second half should be said to be almost the worst 45 minutes of the season for Barcelona.

Barcelona fans can say that Enrique deliberately stayed in order to achieve the treble, after all, Real Madrid has been clenching their tongues in the standings, and Barcelona's opponent in the next league game is not Espanyol. But this is not a reason for Barcelona to give up on attacking, this second half just let fans see how much Barcelona's actual combat effectiveness has declined after losing any member of the MSN combination.

Barcelona's courage this season is entirely based on MSN's anti-sky performance. The central axis of Pique, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta is not enough to support a so-called dynasty, not to mention that after Suarez's departure, Barcelona's forward trident does not even have a fulcrum. It was not so much Enrique who solved the stubborn problems of Barcelona's forward line in the Pep Guardiola era, but Suarez himself who solved the problem. And when Suarez left, Barcelona's problems continued.

The Catalan media and fans have already been talking about Enrique's treble and comparing him to Pep Guardiola's debut season. However, after the fall of Camp Nou, this claim has become so mocking.

If the halo created by the MSN group is removed, there is actually a big gap between this Barcelona team and the dream team of the year. This gap is first reflected in the stability of the defensive system, and secondly, Barcelona today is completely devoid of the control that Andres Iniesta and Xavi had in their peak season.

Did Enrique inject fresh blood into today's Barcelona to sustain the Dream Three dynasty? Yes. Has that started his dream of the Four Dynasties? Before this game, it may be possible to say the same, but after being single-handedly captured by Shi Hao at Camp Nou, the Dream Four Dynasty is far away.

Pep Guardiola is a master of high pressing and possession, and Barcelona won six titles by relying on off-ball pressing, running and counter-attacking on the spot. But today's Barcelona, in fact, it is difficult to see high pressing and stable ball control, and off-ball defense is the biggest shortcoming that almost every coach can see.

Suarez has similar characteristics to Samuel Eto'o in the past, and can revitalize the entire forward line, and in the absence of the Uruguayan, Barcelona's attack will be in a difficult position. As for Sergio Busquets and Mascherano, as well as Pique, who has been in declining form, they are also not comparable to those years.

Jose Mourinho's second-in-the-box, on the other hand, is considered the rise of the Chelsea dynasty. Jose Mourinho's tweaks to Chelsea have paid off, leading the league and beating them in the Champions League, knocking out defending champions Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona the favourites to win the title.

Compared to Chelsea, who won the Champions League in 2012, Chelsea are now more balanced in attack and defence, and the team is in more consistent form. Although the standard of the backline has declined, Frank Lampard has lost his magic lamp in midfield, and Costa in the front line cannot be compared to the peak of the monster, but Shi Hao, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas are definitely the foundation of the king.

Again, these two games are also seen as the replacement of the old and the new champions.

In the first game, although Messi had assists and contributed to Barcelona, his overall performance was still not as good as Neymar, who scored a beautiful goal, and Shi Hao, who scored 1 assist and 2 goals, and one of the goals was Shi Hao, who volleyed from a zero degree angle.

In the second leg of the Camp Nou, Neymar and Shi Hao's performance was even more than Messi. Neymar scored two artistic goals, while Shi Hao contributed an assist and scored two powerful volleys and was named Man of the Match.

Of course, Messi has not yet reached the age of old age, and it should be said that he is at his peak. However, Neymar, who was born in 92, and Shi Hao, who was born in 93, are fully equipped to challenge him for the throne of the ball!

Chelsea are preparing for the Champions League semi-finals while contending with the remainder of the league.

On 26 April, Shi Hao scored the only goal in the 34th round of the Premier League as Chelsea beat city rivals Arsenal 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

On April 30, in a make-up match in the 27th round of the Premier League, Shi Hao, who was in good form, scored a hat-trick as the Blues beat Leicester City 5-1.

On May 3, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Chelsea, who were on the bench, defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Then it's the semi-finals of the Champions Cup. Chelsea will host Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich are also the best in the Bundesliga, and they have no worries and can go all out to deal with the Champions Cup, so Chelsea are not facing a tired division.

At the same time, Bayern Munich's momentum is absolutely high. In 2012, it was Chelsea led by Magic Lamp and Warcraft who defeated Bayern Munich on penalties in the Champions League final, giving Bayern Munich a bitter taste of Sanya. The current Bayern Munich team is stronger than 3 years ago, and is determined to take revenge!

They knocked out stubborn CSKA Moscow and Roma in the group stage, squeezing Manchester City into second place in the group; In the knockout round, they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 7:0 at home, and beat Portuguese Super League giants Porto 6:1 after falling behind 1:3. Such Bayern Munich, the state is simply terrifying.

And the current coach of Bayern Munich is Pep Guardiola, who led Barcelona to win the six crowns that year! In addition to the absence of Messi, this Bayern Munich team can be said to be more Barcelona than Barcelona!
