The Stade de France has changed dramatically.

Arsenal, who lead the scoreline, will have to play more with less.

And the goalkeeper position was still changed to the second goalkeeper who could not be trusted by everyone.

Barcelona fans surged with confidence in the stands.

11 to 10, you can win!

Barcelona take a direct free-kick just outside the box line.

Ronaldinho exerted too much force in order to get the shot around the human wall, which was a little close, and the football was around the human wall, but there was no room to fall, and the football was kicked high above the crossbar.

Next, Arsenal frequently encountered Barcelona's crazy attacks.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Ronaldinho passed directly to Eto'o in the front, Eto'o, who was holding the ball with his back, flicked his right foot horizontally, and turned diagonally past Toure.

But his volley that he forced with his left foot was of great quality, heading straight for the bottom left corner of the goal, Almunia made a save to block the ball, and it was obvious that he was still a little nervous when he was in danger, unable to fully hold the football, and not blocking it resolutely enough.

The ball refracted and bounced off the post and bounced back into the box, and Toure, who ran back, kicked the ball straight out of the line.

Barcelona's corner kick was cleared by Campbell's header, and Qin Xiong, who unloaded the ball with his chest in front of the penalty area, found that he was surrounded by Barcelona players, and he directly cleared it on the spot, and the football flew to the midfield.

Thierry Henry picked up his clearance in midfield and single-handedly slammed into Barcelona's half.

Despite shaking past Oleg, but in front of the penalty area. Henry found that there was no one around to answer him. Don't dare to rush the opponent's defense again. Thirty yards from goal, he opted for a long-range shot.

This long-range shot was a bit outrageous, and the anti-aircraft gun was directly fired.

It can be seen that after the great change in the situation, Arsenal's psychological state of the whole team has been negatively affected, which will affect their performance on the field.

Thankfully, the first half is coming to an end and will give them a period of adjustment.

In the first half, Deco's long-range shot was changed by Silva with a sliding tackle and broke the touchline to the finish.

The players of both teams walked into the dressing room as if they were preoccupied.

Barcelona have to think about how to score goals, while Arsenal have more to worry about.

Is it a goal ahead of insurance?

Not to mention one less person, even if the number of people is balanced. That's not insurance.

But how to limit Barcelona's attack, coupled with how to play efficiently in attack, is something they have to think through.

In the locker room, Lehmann, who had been sent off, looked at everyone helplessly, and then sat in the corner in silence.

Pire, who was substituted, seemed to be in a state of divine sorrow, closing himself off like an abandoned orphan.

Teammates didn't have time to sympathize or comfort them.

Arsene Wenger also seized the time to speak to the whole team to cheer everyone up, stabilize their minds and not panic.

At the same time, he began to develop an offensive and defensive strategy for the second half.

The players listened solemnly to Arsene Wenger's adjustments.

In fact, the defensive strategy is very simple, 7 people defend. Ljungberg retreated to strengthen the defense in the midfield, and then relied on Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry in attack.

Cesc Fabregas dealt cards in central midfield. Qin Xiong and Henry can switch responsibilities at any time.

Before the start of the second half, Henry, as the captain, encouraged everyone to cheer for the second half and keep working until the last minute!

Regardless of success or failure, do your best!

In the second half, the two sides returned to the stadium and changed sides to fight again.

The cheers of the Arsenal fans in the stands were already a bit pathetic, and they could have been a little more relaxed in supporting the team, because although Barcelona had the upper hand on the field, Arsenal's attack was more efficient.

Now it's different, Arsenal has one less player, and how long can they resist in the face of Barcelona, who are like tigers?

"As the second half of the game was about to begin, Barcelona coach Rijkaard made the first substitution, and the youngster Andres Iniesta came on to replace the midfield defender Edmilson, which was a signal to strengthen the attack.

Iniesta up, Edmilson down.

Barcelona made a decent substitution adjustment based on Arsenal's situation of playing one less.

However, Arsenal have calmed down through the break and are mentally prepared to deal with such a situation.

In the second half, Barcelona's offensive will inevitably be more intense!

The reason why a strong team is a strong team is that the comprehensive psychological quality must be stronger.

Barcelona did not rashly launch a bombardment in the second half, and the offensive pressure on that kind of scene is a bit threatening, in fact, everyone knows it, to put it bluntly, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and it is not very useful.

They were actively shaping the situation with their numerical superiority, and then patiently creating chances, as if ignoring the score they had fallen behind, believing that they could reverse Arsenal in the remaining time, even if they could not reverse it in 90 minutes, but as long as they equalized, the further the game went, even if it went to extra-time, Barcelona would be the more dominant side, unless it dragged on to a penalty shoot-out.

Arsene Wenger made a mistake in his tactical adjustments at half-time.

The midfielder's desire to rely on a three-man defensive line of Ljungberg-Fabregas-Silva to contain Barcelona's attack may have been realised in the first half.

However, after the introduction of Andres Iniesta, an attacking player in the second half, Arsenal clearly had an irresistible posture in the midfield.

Andres Iniesta has great skill on the ball at his feet, especially as he is a rare team player who understands the essence of La Masia's team philosophy.

In the 51st minute of the game, Inesta forced Fabregas's defense zone after switching positions with Ronaldinho in the front, and the two players who are also from La Masia faced off on the field, Fabregas fell behind in defense, after all, Iniesta is more mature than him, even if Iniesta is far from reaching his peak.

Cesc Fabregas lost his defensive position under Iniesta's feigned pass, and was rushed by Iniesta from the front, but fortunately Qin Xiong smashed the football at Iniesta's feet from diagonally behind, so as not to cause a big disaster.

The knock-on effect of Arsene Wenger's midfield adjustment mistakes is that after Cesc Fabregas is under more pressure, then players will have to fill in his defence.

Originally, Qin Xiong and Henry were able to attack and counterattack with both arrows.

Now Qin Xiong has also been dragged in the backfield, although he took the initiative to participate in the defense, but it was the conclusion he came to from reading the game that prompted him to do so.

Otherwise, Arsenal's defence is in jeopardy!

He frequently assists in the midfield and backfield, and naturally he can't and dare not rush to the front line to attack when he has the opportunity to counterattack.

Considering that if the attack fails, he will not be able to make up for the defense, so Arsenal's defense will be broken by Barcelona at any time! (To be continued......)
