Mourinho didn't show much excitement, just a cloud on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info conceded the goal so early, it was a bit of a surprise to him.

He thought he had done enough for Barcelona's possession, as evidenced by the previous 18 minutes, when Barcelona's midfield was cut to pieces and unable to pass fluidly.

But MSN still used this almost simple and crude way, with an extremely elegant and smooth counterattack to break down Mourinho's carefully constructed defense.

The variable lies in Messi. Messi dropped back deeply, almost as a central midfielder, while Neymar and Suarez consciously pushed up front from left to right, pulling Chelsea's defenders.

In order to mark Messi, Ramires also followed, so that between Chelsea's back line and midfield, there was only one Nemanja Matic. When Messi uses technology to get rid of Nemanja Matic, Chelsea are like little girls who have been stripped of only their underwear, and it is only a matter of time before they lose themselves.

As the Barcelona players celebrated, Mourinho was quick to give instructions. He asked Nemanja Matic to move forward to assist Ramires in severing the link between Messi and Neymar and Suarez.

Due to the overall slowness of Chelsea's backline, this style of play is actually a bit risky. Once Messi gets the ball out of Nemanja Matic and Ramirez, Neymar and Suarez are easily offside and threaten the goal.

But, after all, this is Barcelona, this is the MSN combination. There is no completely insured tactic against them. Even if it's risky, give it a try.

After making adjustments, Mourinho's gaze scanned back and forth between Costa, Shi Hao and Hazard, and finally fixed on Shi Hao.

You won't let me down, will you?

At this time, Shi Hao suffered a lot of pressure. Alba, who is opposite him, is fast and very flexible, and is the type of defender he is most difficult to deal with. Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta also focused most of their attention on him, blocking the rest of the Chelsea players' routes to him, often in a situation where the trio was caught between him.

In this case, even though Shi Hao is the heart of the attack, it is unlikely that the Chelsea players will always give him too many balls. In this way, Hazard was liberated and frequently attacked the heart of Barcelona. But Barcelona seem to be determined to keep an eye on Shi Hao, Hazard has only one Montoya on the defensive side, and Rakitic sometimes goes to help, but Rakitic has more responsibilities in the attacking end, and sometimes he cares about the other.

In the 32nd minute, Hazard dribbled past Montoya on the counter-attack and hoisted the ball into the heart of Barcelona. Unfortunately, Mascherano's excellent judgment and movement defused the threat.

In the 34th minute, it was Hazard who broke through on the left side, and the long pass hit the back point, Shi Hao had the upper hand in the scramble with Alba, he stopped the ball on his chest and picked up the ball past Alba, and then volleyed vigorously from a small angle, the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar, and this ball also scared Ter Stegen into a cold sweat.

After that, the situation on the field entered a stalemate, and neither side had a good solution. Chelsea did not rush to fight back after conceding the goal, but played steadily. But just before the end of the first half, Chelsea suffered a blow. Captain John Terry sprained his knee in a scramble with Suarez and had to be substituted.

Youngster Kurt Zouma showed inexperience and recklessness, making a big mistake right after his debut, when he was cut off by Suarez at the back. However, he also showed great physicality and immediately counter-attacked to allow Suarez's shot wide.

In the last minute of the first half, Neymar was in a position to win the ball on the left flank and break past Branislav Ivanovic and Cesc Fabregas in succession, and then used a tail flick to get past Kurt Zouma, who rushed up, and shot from a small angle near the baseline. Fortunately, Courtois judged accurately, blocked the angle in advance, and confiscated the ball.

At half-time, the Stamford Bridge fans did not stop singing, but continued to sing and shout. Chelsea didn't play badly in the first half, and although they were down by one goal, they weren't too ugly in terms of the situation and had a couple of good chances.

Fans have become accustomed to the team exploding in the face of adversity, just like the previous reversal to knock out defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in an extremely unfavorable situation, so they have not lost confidence.

In the home team's dressing room, Mourinho's voice also looked confident, in his opinion, although Shi Hao and Hazard did not contribute in the first half, but they also firmly clamped Barcelona's two fullbacks on the side, and even Iniesta was involved in most of the energy, so Barcelona's attack in the first half was almost completed by MSN independently, and they failed to play their usual overwhelming attack.

This shows that their tactics are effective, and the second half is the time to use the home advantage to launch a counterattack. His confidence also gave the players some peace of mind that they could still win the game.

At the start of the second half, according to Mourinho's arrangement, Chelsea increased their attacking input.

In the 48th minute, Shi Hao suddenly cut inside after dribbling along the right side, and hit a rebound ball with a strong shot in front of the penalty area, but it was slightly corrected and saved by Ter Stegen.

Two minutes later, Cesc Fabregas's low shot from 18 yards out was also parried by the in-form Ter Stegen.

In the 53rd minute, Iniesta injured his back when he landed in a battle with Shi Hao. The referee did not show Shi Hao a yellow card, which caused controversy among the Barcelona players. However, Shi Hao did not deliberately foul, which he had a clear conscience. Andres Iniesta was stretchered and 35-year-old veteran Xavi came off the bench.

Jose Mourinho replaced Ramires with youngster Willian and brought Shi Hao back to the middle, which is exactly what Chelsea have been best at attacking this season.

Shi Hao, who returned to the middle lane, was even more like a fish in water. Sergio Busquets and Xavi are both much slower than Alba, and he can use his pace to break them apart and cause a stir in front of Barcelona's goal.

In the 61st minute, Cesc Fabregas cut off Montoya's pass to Messi in the midfield and quickly handed the ball to Shi Hao. After Shi Hao received the ball, the ball broke through Xavi, and when he grabbed on Busquets, the ball rolled under Busquets's crotch, and Costa received the ball near the penalty spot and quickly knocked it horizontally. Eden Hazard cut in from the left and received the ball almost exactly where Neymar had scored before he struck a powerful shot that slid under Ter Stegen's armpit into the back of the net.

The score became 1:1!
