Lazio's home game against Barcelona kicked off in the spotlight.

Barcelona had the kick-off, but they didn't rush to pass the ball forward, but back in layers.

All the way to the goalkeeper's feet.

After the pass was passed to the goalkeeper's feet, the goalkeeper did not have a big foot to kick the football to the front of the field.

It's a re-elapse.

It's all short passes.

Football is firmly controlled by Barcelona at their feet.

They were in no hurry to attack.

Still passing the ball back and forth in the midfield.

"It looks like Barcelona don't want to attack......

"It's not like Barcelona in the past......"

The commentators were surprised.

Normally, Barcelona will also pass the ball back after the opening, but when the football is passed to the goalkeeper or central defender, they will start to organise the attack.

It's not like this, passing back and forth in the middle and back, but it just doesn't go forward.

It's a bit like Lazio.

Lazio, who are always winning, sometimes do this, passing the football around, but they just don't move forward and brush the ball possession.

If Cruyff had seen Barcelona play like this 10 years ago, he would have written an article in the newspapers to lash out at Pep Guardiola, as he had done.

But now, Pep Guardiola doesn't have to worry about that anymore.

Of course, this is not because Cruyff has returned to the West.

It's because Cruyff and FC Barcelona have a complete falling out, and FC Barcelona is broken.

This is the superficial reason.

But in reality, there is a reason that Cruyff does not want to admit.

That is, in Barcelona today, no one is willing to listen to his old man's orders.

Like before, the club had to ask the "Emperor" Cruyff for a change of head coach, and it will never happen again.

Cruyff was getting older and less sober. Always saying something that makes people very confused.

His set is indeed outdated for a long time.

If there was any spiritual symbolism in Barcelona before, then as he took himself more and more seriously and interfered in all kinds of club affairs, everyone began to think that he was annoying and annoying as an old man.

Even if he continued to make nonsense in the newspapers and point fingers, no one would pay attention to him anymore. FC Barcelona no longer need any of his advice.

Cruyff, who felt left out, scolded Barcelona executives in the newspaper and completely broke with FC Barcelona.

Since then, Cruyff has not made any comments on Barcelona.

At first, he thought that maybe everyone would start to miss him soon. Then begged him to go back.

But this time he made a mistake, and no one looked for him, as if there had never been such a person as him in this world.

Cruyff, who couldn't pull his face, naturally had to really break with Barcelona......

Barcelona started the game with a lot of backlash because of the tactics they were going to use in this game.

Pep Guardiola is well aware of Lazio's quality and he didn't believe Lazio would fall apart this season from the start. As for the nonsense that Lazio's strength will decline, he doesn't even listen to it.

He knows very well the belief and determination to win the championship in the end.

Lazio, who reached the semi-finals, were the strongest. Because they are just one step away from the final, they will definitely not be able to accept the result of losing in the semi-finals.

At the same time, this is Lazio's home stadium, and the home-and-away schedule forces Lazio to win at home, and by a big margin, otherwise in the second leg, the situation will be against them.

Pep Guardiola could have guessed what tactics Chang Win would have in place for this game.

It's definitely offensive. And it's a fast-paced offense.

Of course, he can't let Barcelona get into the rhythm of Lazio.

If Lazio wants to be fast, then we need to be slow.

Slow down, keep the ball firmly at your feet and try not to let Lazio control the ball. Reduce the number of times they attack.

In this way, Lazio's quick attack could not be played.

And if the attack doesn't go well, it will also seriously affect the mood of the Lazio players, and thus affect their form.

That's Pep Guardiola's response.

Slow to fast.

※※※

Sure enough, in the first thirty minutes. This slow-paced football in Barcelona has caused Lazio a lot of problems.

In terms of passing and ball control, Barcelona is not weaker than Lazio at all.

So when the football is passed around at their feet. The Lazio players didn't have a good idea either.

Chang Sheng turned his head to look at Pep Guardiola.

Know that this is how Pep Guardiola deals with himself.

I have to say, this method is quite effective.

If Lazio doesn't adjust and follow the rhythm of Barcelona, they will definitely die.

Chang Sheng believes Barcelona have the ability.

Before the game, he did assign the players the task of attacking strongly, requiring them to create opportunities with a fast and stormy attack as soon as they came up, and completely crush Barcelona.

Unexpectedly, Barcelona got the right to kick off, and Lazio's tactics never had a chance to play.

If Lazio continue to play as planned, they will be in a state of impatience.

If it's just impatience in the attack, it's fine, the biggest worry is that the attack is impatient, and then a swarm of swarms up, the back line is full of space, and then let Barcelona seize the opportunity to play counter-attack.

That's probably what Guardiola really aims for.

It must be adjusted immediately.

Taking advantage of a dead goal, Chang Sheng called the nearest Lazio player Faraoni.

Let him help him pass on the message to the other players on the field.

Tell them that if Barcelona continue to keep possession like that, don't worry, they slow down and we slow down.

We don't go for the quantity of the attack, we go for the quality of the attack.

Although the winning team hopes that the team can beat Barcelona by a big score at home, it only takes one game to seal the victory. End the suspense.

But if you can't, don't take any chances.

As long as you can win.

It doesn't matter if you can't win.

It's better than losing a game in pursuit of a big win and not even getting a draw, right?

Although there is no way to win by a large margin at home, it will increase the risk of playing away games.

But when it comes to that part, Chang Sheng will not be afraid of pressure and challenges.

Just knock out Barcelona at Camp Nou!

So what?

As a manager of Lazio, as a regular winner, you have to have that confidence.

Camp Nou is hell to others, but heaven is no different to himself.

※※※

When Lazio made the adjustment. They no longer rush up to round and attack.

If Barcelona are slowly falling at the back, they will mainly rely on a few people up front to interfere.

Forcing them to pass the ball forward and make mistakes.

Then in the offense there is more emphasis on the quality of the offense.

In other words, when the football fell to their feet, they no longer hit the Barcelona goal as quickly as before. Regardless of whether the opportunity is good or bad, it will form a shot immediately.

Now they're in possession as well.

As long as you keep the football under your feet, you are not afraid of not having a chance.

That's Lazio's self-confidence.

So the pace of the game suddenly slowed down.

Whether it's Barcelona or Lazio, they all look very patient after getting the ball.

Barcelona are deliberately slowing down the tempo, while Lazio are on a case-by-case basis. If there's an opportunity to counter-attack, pick up the speed right away. But if you rush halfway through, you will find that the opportunity to counterattack is gone, and you will not force your speed, but will immediately slow down. Waiting for his teammates to come up to support, he began to maneuver with Barcelona and started a positional battle.

Such a game is naturally not as good as a fast-paced game in the eyes of those who watch the excitement, and the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides are very fast. You come and go, and the fight is very lively.

But in the eyes of both managers. This game has nothing to do with whether it looks good or not.

In the 37th minute, Lazio finally used the back and forth to tear apart Barcelona's defence.

Messi, who started the game, suddenly cut inside on the flank, attracting the attention of all the Barcelona defenders, and then passed the ball to the middle.

The follow-up Cavani flew and shot, and the football was swept straight into the goal by him!

“ooool！ Cavani! Edison. Cavani!! Beautiful goal! Lazio have a one-goal lead over Barcelona at home! ”

"Although the first goal made the Lazio fans wait for almost 40 minutes, it was better than never! Lazio took the lead with this goal, which gave many Lazio fans a reassurance. ”

Cavani, who scored the goal, got up and ran under the North Stand, where the Lazio fans rushed down and rushed towards Cavani.

Separated by billboards and grandstand railings, they stretched out their hands to each other and hugged each other.

"Eighth goal! Edinson Cavani's eighth goal in the Champions League this season! The goal moved him up to second place in the scorers' charts! Two goals shy of No. 1 Chelsea goalscorer Stewart! ”

"A thirty-five-year-old veteran, to have such a performance, deserves all of us to take off our hats and pay tribute!"

Loud shouts erupted from the stands at the Wanda Stadium, with Lazio fans chanting Cavani's name.

※※※

Some cheered for Cavani, others for Messi.

"Leo. Messi! He was always very energetic against Barcelona! Cavani's goal just now benefited from Messi's excellent breakthrough run and passing! Seeing that the 34-year-old Messi can still maintain such a good form, I don't know how the top management of Barcelona will feel after the official......"

While Cavani frantically celebrated the goal, Messi seemed more indifferent.

He just waved his fist and didn't run wildly to join in the fun, and he didn't hug anyone.

However, Lazio's team-mates did not let him go, and some of them did not run to Cavani, but ran to him and hugged him.

Messi didn't refuse either, but the expression on his face was still not excited enough.

Maybe anyway, after all, he has played for Barcelona for many years, and it was Barcelona who gave him football life.

He has a love-hate relationship with Barcelona......
