Messi was reminded by manager Pep Guardiola on the sidelines, and he immediately realized that he was indeed a little out of order in these minutes, and at the same time thought of what he said before the game, since saying that the team is more important than individual goals, then it is necessary to do what he says and sacrifice for the team's victory.

Barcelona due to the forward line does not have a positive center, the attack can be said to be relatively monotonous, frequent side, middle back and forth, in this case the possession rate was brushed up by the home team, but the actual attack is not organized, Messi and pseudo-center Fabregas The lack of tacit understanding also shows loopholes.

When Barcelona continued to possess the ball and could not send the ball to the danger zone, the live director very meaningfully switched the camera to Llorente sitting on the bench, Guardiola should have started with Llorente in the context of Ibrahimovic's loan to AC Milan, but Guardiola had to put Llorente on the bench in order to pursue the team's overall movement speed, so when Barcelona needs a strong center, it is inevitable that people will not be reminded of the former Athletic Bilbao striker Llorente sitting on the bench.

As the clock wore on, Cesc Fabregas's position became awkward.

The fundamental motivation to return to Barcelona from Arsenal was to succeed Xavi, but after the transfer, it was found that the succession Xavi was unrealistic, and Guardiola could only put Fabregas in the position of pseudo-center forward in order not to let the club's 50 million euros go down the drain.

In fact, Cesc Fabregas is not suitable for this position at all, he is a natural number four player, with super playmaking and attacking ability and some defensive ability.

Of course, Guardiola also knows that this is a waste of a starting spot, but the problem is that the capitalists' accounts must be properly settled, and the transfer fee of up to 50 million euros and the annual salary of 6 million euros after tax are put on the bench, it is really a violent thing, and it cannot be explained to the team's top management.

The most normal performance of the three players in Barcelona's forward line is Iniesta, so as Messi consciously reduces the number of times he breaks through with the ball, Xavi, who directs the team's offensive direction in the midfield, chooses to hand over the ball to Iniesta on the left side to deal with.

Iniesta not only has a strong ability to break through individually, but also has a deep skill in organizing attacks and passing, which is a rare effective attacking point in Barcelona at present.

Standing on the sidelines, Pep Guardiola crossed his arms and chest, his eyes not only stared at every scene that happened on the field, but also imagined how to make the team organize an effective attack, especially since the game time had reached more than 30 minutes, if there was no way to equalize the score in the first half, then the team's morale would definitely be greatly damaged.

At this time, Barcelona organized a wave of effective attacks, Xavi first made an illusion of passing the ball in the direction of Messi, and then pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his right foot, passed the ball to Iniesta, who had already pulled out of position, and continued to think of a way.

Messi, who had been moving on the right rib, suddenly ran sideways and moved closer to Iniesta, who was holding the ball.

Cesar Azpilicueta did not dare to pounce forward in the face of Andres Iniesta's ball, so his defensive strategy was to bend sideways and fight and retreat, so that he could not lose his defensive position, which is the standard defensive posture of a full-back to defend the opposing full-back or winger.

Messi's lateral run immediately caught the attention of Xavi Martinez and Cazorla, but they both defended according to Ancelotti's position before the game and did not stick to it.

And Iniesta didn't turn his head to look at Messi who received him at all, he chose to take the ball and break forward.

In the face of Cesar Azpilicueta's fight and retreat, Iniesta suddenly flicked the ball out with the outside of his right foot when the opponent retreated to the corner of the left penalty area, and it was normal for the winger to misplace and cut inside to shoot the ball, so central defender Albiol and defender Javi Martinez did not dare to slack off and moved closer.

After Iniesta attracted the attention of three Valencia defenders, as if he had eyes on the side, he shook the ball out with the outside of his right foot and rolled the ball towards Messi, who seemed to be in response.

The defenders of Valencia's defensive system instinctively pounced on Messi to prevent him from breaking through with the ball and creating a good chance, only to ignore Andres Iniesta, who was pulling the ball laterally.

Messi met Andres Iniesta's lateral pass and crossed a half-high ball with the arch of his left foot into the box, where the ball flew just past the feet of Xavi Martinez.

Godin, who was dragged behind, raised his right arm to signal Iniesta for offside, but the linesman didn't say anything, so he ...... It's not offside!

Nearly 90,000 Barcelona fans in the stands chanted as if they had seen Andres Iniesta strike equaliser.

But the next moment, the heart that jumped to his throat fell again......

"-Danger!"

With an exclamation from He Wei in the commentary seat at the scene, Wang Xiaolei decisively abandoned the door and attacked.

Iniesta didn't realize that Wang Xiaolei's attack speed would be so fast, and out of a sense of self-protection, he chose to stop the moment he saw Wang Xiaolei pounce on the football.

※※※

Wang Xiaolei pressed the ball under him in a thrilling way, and exhaled a long breath, if it wasn't for seeing Iniesta's alert lateral pull and keeping an eye on it, then Messi and Iniesta's wall-hitting cooperation can tear apart the entire back line, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Azpilicueta and Albiol, who did not follow Iniesta, hurriedly went over and patted Wang Xiaolei on the shoulder, if it wasn't for the latter's decisive attack, they would be the sinners of the team's conceded goals.

"Wang's attack is quite decisive and exciting, otherwise Iniesta would have received Messi's wall-hitting pass and faced the goal single-handedly......"

Martin Taylor praised Wang Xiaolei for the timing of his abandonment.

Although the combination of Iniesta and Messi did not result in a goal, Guardiola seems to have seen the team's hopes of equalising the score!

So he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to send a message to the players on the pitch through Xavi, allowing Messi and Cesc Fabregas to swap places.

This temporary tactical adjustment really led to Barcelona's attack, and Messi and Iniesta had the same tacit understanding as Valencia Airo and David Silva, and the two always passed and received the ball beyond the expectations of others.

If it was only a slight pressure to defend Messi alone before, it is very difficult to defend Messi and Inesta.

As Barcelona's tactics began to revolve around the two small men, Messi and Iniesta, Valencia's goal felt like it was on the verge of conceding at any moment.

The change in the situation caused Ancelotti to start a headache, and he could no longer sit in the dugout and went to the sidelines.

In fact, it is very simple to cut off the connection between Messi and Iniesta, but the problem is that Barcelona is using the team as a whole to assist Messi and Iniesta, so cutting off the connection between the two is useless, but will cause the back line to take care of one or the other.

Fabregas, who has been thrown to the other side, is not a vegetarian either, and his passing, playmaking and long-range shots can be a threat, but the specific threat is not as good as the combination of Messi and Iniesta.

Forty minutes into the first half in the blink of an eye, Barcelona not only won possession at home, but also controlled the tempo of attack and defense on the field.

During the period when Messi and Iniesta activated Barcelona's attack, Valencia's attack was also impressive, but Barcelona had the previous goals to learn from, and the defenders Sergio Busquets and Mascherano both stuck to their posts and did not go too far from the central defenders.

Overall, Barcelona have organised a more dangerous attack in terms of performance on the pitch during this period.

After all, in order to ensure the balance between attack and defense, Mata was on the bench in this game, and needed to rely too much on David Silva in the process of switching from defense to attack, but he was also important in the defensive phase of the team, so it was difficult to maintain 100% energy in the process of switching from defense to attack.

Ancelotti, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't have much to do about it, so he had to wait until the end of the first half to make adjustments.

But at this moment, Iniesta once again took the ball on the left side and tried to break through, Azpilicueta and Topal stuck the bottom line and cut inside the inside line respectively in the process of fighting and retreating, and Messi, who was still in the center forward position, suddenly retreated, giving people the feeling of being connected.

Albiol and Javi Martinez both had their eyes on Messi, and whenever the latter made a fuss, he immediately fouled him.

When Andres Iniesta approached the corner of the box on the left, he suddenly flicked the ball to the right and passed the ball to the position where Messi had pulled it out, Topal and Javi Martinez swooped nervously, only for Messi, who looked like he was about to receive the ball, missed the ball......

"This?" As the camera cuts, the Catalan commentator exclaims: "- Xavi! ”

Cazorla crossed over to defend Xavi too late, who slotted the ball behind Javi Martinez with the arch of his right foot, and Messi deftly turned to take the ball to the centre-back combination of Albiol and Godin.

Albiol waited solemnly, but Messi, who had the ball, knocked the ball to the right to Cesc Fabregas, and then continued to cut forward.

Seeing this, where does the defender not know that Messi wants to play against Fabregas in a wall-to-wall combination?

So the defenders focused on Messi who was cutting forward, but Cesc Fabregas did not make a wall for Messi, but passed the ball to Iniesta on the left side at high speed!

"- Andre Iniesta!!"

With the Catalan commentator shouting, Albiol turned and pounced on Iniesta out of defensive instinct, not noticing Messi's lateral movement at all.

Iniesta, who was inserted at high speed, did not choose to shoot by himself, but swept the ball vigorously with his left foot to the front of the small penalty area, and the unmarked Messi shot the ball with his left foot from under Wang Xiaolei's crotch into the goal.
