At the same time that Messi was annoyed by Zhang Tiehan's goal, the Barcelona players were also very annoyed, they felt very unwilling for this goal, and some players secretly blamed Messi.

They've been attacking for a long time!

The game is at their feet, and the result? As a result, the opponent scored first than them, and this feeling is really very embarrassing.

Rijkaard also had a headache.

He wondered if he would have to make some adjustments and add a defensive midfielder, otherwise the opponent's number nine would be too difficult.

Last season's Barcelona lost to the opponent's Zhang Tiehan, and now this is the case, he also feels very aggrieved, he is not afraid of the whole Chelsea, he is afraid of Zhang Tiehan breaking out.

This player can't be measured by common sense anymore.

In fact, in the summer, Rijkaard also considered letting Barcelona participate in Zhang Tiehan's competition, if there is such a player, Rijkaard feels that Barcelona is really invincible in the universe but in the end Barcelona is completely uncompetitive, yes, not competitive, because Barcelona can't get so much transfer fees, that will make their economy collapse directly, unless the board of directors is willing to increase investment in the club, but it also means that Barcelona will not have income for at least two years in the future, Unless they can really play their best, the best results in a row may be able to make some more gains, but the board of directors will never pass this decision, after all, the board of directors of Barcelona does not have a giant like Abramovich who does not care about money, in the final analysis, they are a group of businessmen, even if they like businessmen in Barcelona, they are businessmen, and businessmen will not make 90% loss-making investments.

So Rijkaard could only give up Zhang Tiehan.

It was so helpless that now he had to face Zhang Tiehan, who thought Barcelona was a little better than last season. It is already difficult for Zhang Tiehan to decide what a player is, but now Rijkaard has found that this idea is wrong, so that the player who can score can still have the ability to decide the outcome of a game.

There are many stars in Barcelona, but there is no one like Zhang Tiehan.

Rijkaard sat in the dugout and was helpless. The game between the two teams has restarted.

The Barcelona players are still very combative, although Zhang Tiehan's goal made them feel very depressed, but it was only 1-0 after all, and the time of the first half was not over, and there was still a lot of time left for them.

When the game resumed, Barcelona quickly relied on strong strength and cooperation to control the situation.

Although Barcelona fell behind in the score, they did not rush to score, but increased their passing and possession. Keep the football firmly in their feet and the situation firmly in their hands.

Chelsea had intended to take advantage of the morale of the goal and launch a few waves of counter-attacks, but they were soon pressed back by Barcelona.

Rijkaard's advice to the players is to control the ball more, as long as they control the situation on the field, it is a matter of time before they score, and the key is not to give Chelsea a chance. Otherwise it would have been too difficult to equalise again, and now this Chelsea team. Although they looked passive against Barcelona, it was not easy to find the back of the net.

Barcelona are quite confident in possession.

Their decades of inheritance have been playing similar tactics, no matter how many managers have changed and how many players have changed. Their style of football has never changed, and now that they're at a peak of quality, it's not the end of the day for them to be a goal behind.

When Barcelona regained control of the game, it was difficult for Chelsea to find opportunities to counter-attack. If it's not a quick counter-attack, just a normal advance, it's not easy for Chelsea to get the ball into the box, more of a chance is just a long-range shot from the edge of the box, but not everyone at Chelsea is Zhang Tiehan, this kind of shot is almost no different from wasting a chance.

In the counterattack, Zhang Tiehan was defended by the opponent very deadly.

He is always surrounded by two defenders, and Barcelona's defense has a lot of things against him, and it is not easy for him to get rid of the defender's defense to find opportunities, and as a result, in the first half, Chelsea did not threaten any of the ball, but fortunately, Barcelona did not score

The first half was a tough one for Chelsea, but it was a good result as Chelsea were one goal ahead of Barcelona, so everyone was in a good mood when they went back to the dressing room at half-time.

Zhang Tiehan was also smiling, he scored the only goal in the first half, and he had enough reason to be happy.

Head coach Grant is worried about the shape of the game, but it has nothing to do with him, tactical play or something, the head coach should consider, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

At this time, the Stamford Bridge commentator summed up the first half of the game on the radio, "Chelsea led by one goal in the first half, but their shape was not optimistic, Barcelona controlled the scene, but controlled the goal, there is still a lot of suspense in the game, but we can expect the second half to be a good game." ”

At the same time, Grant is also thinking about the game.

In the end, he decided to add a defensive player and reduce a striker, otherwise the game would be really difficult, after all, Barcelona's attack is too threatening, it is necessary to increase the defense, and even if the team's offensive ability is increased, it will be really difficult for the team to compete with Barcelona head-on.

However, he didn't say it directly, just praised everyone, "Everyone did a good job in the first half!" ”

A one-goal lead is also an advantage.

The players gathered around and listened to what Grant continued to say, but Grant's voice changed, "But a goal is dangerous, they will definitely continue to attack in the second half, we have to defend well, and at the same time, Zhang"

Zhang Tiehan was named by name.

Grant looked at him and continued, "You're looking for opportunities to put pressure on their defense, and that will also take the burden off our defense. ”

Zhang Tiehan nodded.

Then Grant said to everyone, "In the second half we have to be more patient, especially in the opening game, we have to be solid defensively, they will definitely step up their attack to equalize, as long as we can withstand the pressure." When time passes, they will be impatient, and then it will be our chance, and I believe that victory will be ours in the end! ”

Grant has already thought about it, which is to strengthen the defense.

Barcelona can only choose to defend if they can't fight head-on, otherwise, even if the team has a goal advantage. It's also very difficult to win.

Barcelona can't be said to be the best team in the world at scoring goals, but they must be the best team at controlling the situation, and they use constant passing and receiving to control the ball, which is really scary once it breaks out.

The team has to defend well!

This is the basis for winning, as long as you defend well, you can think about attacking or something

When the two teams returned to the pitch, it was clear that the Barcelona players were in much better spirits than they were when they came off the pitch, and it was clear that Rijkaard must have said something to them.

Grant repeatedly stressed the need to be careful with Barcelona's opening attack. Everyone took it to heart, and seeing the mental state of the Barcelona players, they were much more alert.

At the same time, thinking of Barcelona's attack in the first half, everyone felt more or less pressure, and the outside media said that Chelsea and Barcelona are the two strongest teams in the world, and they have the lowest odds of winning the Champions League, indicating that they are favored by fans, but after the first half of the game. Chelsea players know that Barcelona are ridiculously strong. They are still worse than each other, at least in terms of overall coordination and tactics, there is a big gap with the other party, otherwise they would not be so passive.

Thinking about it, they really feel a little stressed.

Zhang Tiehan is one of the others, and he doesn't feel any pressure. On the contrary, he is looking forward to breaking the goal of Barcelona again - breaking the goal of such a strong team is not the same as breaking the goal of a small team!

How strong are you, Lao Tzu can still score goals!

That's what Zhang Tiehan thinks.

Especially the head coach Grant also told him to pay attention to the attack, he naturally knows what it means, in fact. He was in this situation a lot when he was playing at Wigan Athletic, with the whole team defending and he alone looking for opportunities up front.

He knows what to do.

It's about trying to find chances, Barcelona can't go wrong all time, as long as they make mistakes, it's chance, all he has to do is take chances

After the half-time break, the Barcelona players were quite confident, they firmly believed that the strength of the collective is higher than the individual, and Rijkaard also instilled this idea in them, "They only have a number nine, everyone else plays piecemeal, and we are a team, we are Barcelona!" ”

"As long as we play according to the tactics, I don't believe we will score fewer goals than him!"

That's what Rijkaard said.

This statement won the agreement of the players, especially Messi, who felt that Rijkaard's words made sense, yes, although I personally failed 1v1 with him, we were originally a team, I had teammates, and he was playing alone a lot of the time.

Yes, a lonely person.

So no matter what, give full play to the strength of the whole team and always beat him!

Perhaps more importantly, Messi is a little scared of Zhang Tiehan's defense, and he now feels that he will have a shadow in his heart when he faces Zhang Tiehan with the ball, and he always has three breaks in the first half, which still makes Messi feel related.

Zhang Tiehan didn't know that he had dealt such a big blow to Messi.

But what he did know was that Barcelona had a very good second half, they were so ferocious in attack, he was just one man, Barcelona were a team, they confirmed it with their table xiàn and knocked on Chelsea's door less than five minutes into the second half.

“Gooooooooooal！！！！！！”

"Messi! Messi! He scored the equaliser for Barcelona! It was a beautiful goal, he shook off John Terry and calmly fired a low shot into front of the goalkeeper! ”

"Messi's mistake in the first half gave Zhang a chance to score the first goal on the counter-attack, and now Messi made up for his mistake and he helped the team score a crucial goal!"

"Well done!"

After the goal, Messi was quite happy, he hugged his teammates frantically, this is the Champions League goal against Chelsea, and it is still precious for him now.

He thinks back to the feeling of the second half of the game and thinks that he is right - yes, the opponent's number nine is very strong, but the collective strength is higher than the individual, we are Barcelona, we are a team, what if the opponent is good alone?

Other Barcelona players had similar thoughts, and while not so explicit, it didn't stop them from cheering on the goal.

It couldn't have come at a better time.

With the equaliser, the game was much better and they were more confident of winning.

They believe that the game is in their hands and that the scales of victory have tipped in their favor.

On the other hand, Zhang Tiehan held the football, stood in the middle circle, looked at Barcelona's goal and shook his head secretly, Barcelona's attack is indeed very strong, and he has nothing to do about scoring goals.

But that's not the end of the game!

Barcelona still have a chance, Chelsea have a chance and most importantly, he still has a chance!

There's still a lot of time, maybe it's just a warm-up. (To be continued......)
