In the 58th minute of the game, Barcelona frequently shifted their attacks in front, and in a series of dazzling quick passes, Iniesta and Deco attracted the attention of Ljungberg and Silva on the front line.

Managed to create enough space for Ronaldinho, who moved to the middle, and Ronaldinho almost crushed past Cesc Fabregas in an unreasonable way!

He then faced Arsenal's back two, and after dodging Campbell's top tackle, Ronaldinho was looking to deliver a through ball to Giuli only to be keenly aware that Ashley Cole was inside blocking his pass.

So he stealthily pushed the ball towards goal in front of Toure.

Almunia was not well prepared, or his awareness was completely out of rhythm with Ronaldinho, and when Ronaldinho shot, he saw the ball roll past Toure into the box before it started to move towards the bottom left corner of the goal, but it was obviously too late!

Just at the nick of time, someone blocked the ball with a sliding tackle from the left side, and then Almunia immediately changed the line and pounced forward, holding the ball in his arms!

The person who stood up in the restricted area was Qin Xiong.

He was staring at Eto'o and Iniesta, who had moved to the left, and he was ready to fill in until Ronaldinho pushed the attack into front of the penalty area and shook off Campbell, he immediately ran in front of the goal, fearing that Ronaldinho would break through again or give other teammates a straight stop, but he didn't expect to make a mistake for him to defuse a shot that Ronaldinho had a chance to score.

Qin Xiong stood up and walked forward slowly, and Wenger was heartbroken when he saw this scene on the sidelines.

Wrong!

The game shouldn't be like this!

Qin Xiong should be an offensive threat player in the Barcelona half, not doing dirty work in the backfield!

But he also knew that it was Barcelona who stepped up their attack. Arsenal's original defensive strength was a little overwhelmed to see what happened.

He walked to the bench with a solemn expression. Spoke to the assistant coach.

The assistant coach sprang into action immediately.

Arsenal have already made one substitution. But that substitution was passive.

Now, take the initiative to make substitutions!

Barcelona boss Rijkaard, meanwhile, saw that there were almost 30 minutes left on the game and he was about to make a second substitution.

Arsenal and Barcelona made a substitution together!

'Arsenal used up their second substitution, Spanish talent Cesc Fabregas was replaced by Arsene Wenger, and his replacement was defensive midfielder Flamini, who saw a problem in Cesc Fabregas' defence and now needs to strengthen the defense in central midfield. After all, there were too many dangers in front of Arsenal in the second half.

Barcelona also used up the second substitution, Rijkaard replaced Van Bommel after removing Edmilson, and it was the Swedish veteran Larsson who replaced Van Bommel! It seems that Barcelona are going to further strengthen their attack!

For Barcelona, the rest of the time is dwindling little by little, and it's time to take the plunge!

But is Rijkaard's substitution too risky?

There is almost no defensive power in the midfield! ”

As soon as Flamini came on, Arsenal's midfield defence changed to Ljungberg Silva Flamini.

The defensive hardness and strength have inevitably improved.

Arsene Wenger always wants to release Qin Xiong, otherwise Arsenal will be beaten by Barcelona without a defense.

Relying on saving danger again and again to hold 1:0, it is unrealistic to think about it.

Thierry Henry was also isolated on the counter-attack and fast break due to the lack of team-mates, and Arsenal did not make a single threatening attack in the second half. All offensives ended in vain.

After the substitution, Barcelona clearly strengthened their forward threat to the danger zone.

Larson. Samuel Eto'o and Giuli were on the front line, with Ronaldinho lying in ambush behind the trio and Andres Iniesta and Deco supporting the midfield control.

Arsenal's defence has shrunk to the extreme, but it is still a little overwhelming for Barcelona to be overwhelmed.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Deco passed directly behind him in front of Flamini, Ronaldinho ran diagonally from the other direction to receive the football, Ronaldinho, who was surrounded by enemies, directly used his heel to do the ball diagonally back, Iniesta took advantage of the change in the middle of the Arsenal defense contraction, and directly passed the ball diagonally over the top to find Gyuli who cut inside on the right side, Gyuli did not stop the ball, and directly knocked the middle when the football fell.

Larsson, who was cut in the back row, followed up with a volley, but Almunia blocked the near corner in time and also took a few steps out, and he used his body to keep Larsson out of the field with a close-range volley.

The ball bounced into the box and Ashley Cole half-turned to meet the ball and swept it towards the left side of midfield.

Henry was there to pick it up, stop the ball and then step forward.

At this moment, Henry only had Barcelona's back line in front of him.

Because Barcelona don't have a back at all!

They have all been replaced by Rijkaard.

Thierry Henry strode forward and Oleg, Marcos, Puyol and Van Bronckhorst immediately closed the defence.

But there has to be a sense of defensive hierarchy.

Oleg stepped forward to contain Henry's in-cut, and once Henry was about to break through, there would be a centre-back behind him ready for a second interception.

It's a regular and cool defensive adjustment.

Henry soon got the ball in front of Oleg, he began to pause and change the rhythm of his dribbling, and seemed to be about to break through, but he dunked the ball at his feet and continued to push forward along the perimeter to attack, Oleg was passed and immediately retreated in pursuit.

The Barcelona back line didn't care what Henry did on the outside, especially on the wing, unless he could blast the ball straight into the net.

But when they saw someone coming from the midfield like a shooting star, Marcos was horrified, and he immediately ordered Puyol to come forward and block the man.

Puyol stepped forward decisively, while Thierry Henry pushed the ball deep down the flank and crossed diagonally into the box.

Of course, it was Qin Xiong who rushed from the back!

Qin Xiong faced the ball from Henry, he was sure to touch the ball first than Puyol, but how to rush past Puyol's defense?

Puyol was ready to come to his senses, he waited for Qin Xiong to stop the ball and then make a dribble breakthrough, he only had to delay Qin Xiong.

However, he didn't expect Qin Xiong to shovel the bottom of the football with his toes when he received Henry's pass, as if he had a unique skill to make the football bounce on the spot.

Not only are the skills dazzling, but even the power control is just right.

The height of the soccer ball was in front of Qin Xiong's face.

Puyol didn't expect Qin Xiong to stop at all, and after scooping up the ball on his toes, he pressed the ball forward with his head.

He wants to cut horizontally to block Qin Xiong's advancing position, and if he can't, he will also have a physical confrontation or tactical foul.

However, Qin Xiong seemed to have foreseen it, and took a step around when he ran forward after the top ball, making Puyol's interception plan fail!

Qin Xiong, whose eyes were extremely determined, was now facing only one defender.

Max! (To be continued......)
