Barcelona have not faced a dense defence, but they have struggled in many high-level defensive battles, such as the two-legged win against AC Milan, with no goals scored.

It is undeniable that La Liga's technology is higher, but in terms of defense, La Liga is attacking instead of defending, rather than in the traditional sense, especially like the Italian team, which uses pure defense to shape the most extreme defense.

The Premier League is in the middle of the pack defensively, but it also has its own characteristics, fighting aggressively and fiercely!

It's just that such characteristics may become a double-edged sword in the European arena.

Arsenal have been more technically oriented after Patrick Vieira has gone, with a noticeable decline in the brave side, so they have improved their defence with the right defensive strategy and the characteristics of close pressing.

Barcelona didn't get the expected result after the opening kick-off, and Rijkaard didn't look too worried on the sidelines, believing the team could solve the problem.

In fact, Rijkaard's coaching philosophy can be said to lack a personal imprint, he needs big players to support the team's hard power, and at the same time, in a step-by-step experiment, each player with his own characteristics is placed in the right position, so that he can make the best use of his talents, and then merge into a whole, bursting out of strong combat effectiveness.

It's by no means a totemic approach to team building like Jose Mourinho or Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger.

So Barcelona is constantly improving in his mouth, and after perfecting, there is not much work he can do.

He thinks Barcelona are strong enough and hasn't thought about how they can improve after a targeted problem, as they did at the Bernabeu. Ronaldinho's play was key. He single-handedly overthrew the papier-mâché defense of the Galactic Battleship. This is the play of individual strength, how much credit does the overall technique and tactics have? It may have been overshadowed by Ronaldinho's glow.

In the 12th minute of the game, Gyuli successfully broke through Ashley Cole on the right side, Ashley Cole was distracted by the threat of Ronaldinho's lateral run in front of the penalty area and Eto'o switching positions again, but he didn't expect Gyuli to choose to break through by himself instead of passing.

As soon as he cut into the penalty area, Giuli immediately chose to shoot, and the ball went straight to the near corner of the goal, and Lehmann was well prepared to block Giuli's shot and keep the ball out of the line.

"Barcelona's first shot on target of the game came along. Gyuli's shot was powerful, but unfortunately it lacked angle, and Lehmann made a successful save! ”

Two minutes later, Barcelona continued to possess the ball in the frontcourt, and Ronaldinho, who was on the cusp of the storm, encountered unprecedented difficulties, Arsenal itself is a static defense, and secondly, the defense against him has always been faced with a joint defense system, which makes it difficult for him to find space to break through, and will never give him the opportunity to break down one by one, let alone give him enough space to walk on the ground in Arsenal's half.

However, this does not mean that Barcelona's attack in the middle has lost its threat.

With Ronaldinho alone as an artificial fire attraction point. He pinned down a lot of Arsenal's defence, and Ronaldinho calmly played the ball for his team-mates who came in behind.

Deco is bound to be an attacking player who is equally wary of Arsenal. However, Edmilson's back cut was a bit of a surprise to Arsenal.

Ronaldinho sent a through ball to the left of Edmilson's midfield from the centre of the pitch and the ball rolled past Cesc Fabregas.

It is no exaggeration to say that Arsenal's midfield defense was penetrated by Ronaldinho's understated through ball!

At this moment, Toure decisively gave up the central defender zone and stepped forward to scramble, not allowing Edmilson to touch the ball without interference, otherwise he would attract more defensive strength from Arsenal and then free up other Barcelona attacking points!

When Edmilson just touched the ball, Toure stepped forward to engage him in a physical confrontation, and the two got tangled, and then Toure obviously went too far and knocked Edmilson away, and then the referee whistled him for a foul!

Toure defended two sentences and turned back to the defense, and Arsenal was able to rearrange the defensive line, and the offensive and defensive duel began again!

Barcelona's free-kick in front of the field was handed to Ronaldinho, and under heavy pressure, Ronaldinho's free-kick was deflected.

As the Barcelona players were rolling back, Lehmann seemed to be normal enough to get the ball back from the ball boy outside the baseline, but he returned to the six-yard box and immediately took the ball.

The ball rolled to the feet of Fabregas in front of the penalty area, and Fabregas knocked the ball across in front of Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong flicked the ball forward with the outside instep, and then kicked a long pass with a bang!

The Barcelona generals who are retreating from the whole army did not expect Arsenal to dare to attack so boldly, you must know that if the pass is wrong at this time, Barcelona will launch a fast attack again, and Arsenal's defensive players are in a relaxed state, and they may be taken away by a wave of devastating fast attack!

But Qin Xiong is a master of art and bold!

In front of the penalty area, he launched a long ball, and the half-high ball penetrated the halfway line and flew diagonally to the left wing.

The Barcelona players thought it would be Pire there, but it was Thierry Henry who moved to the left.

Henry stopped the ball safely and immediately dribbled the ball towards the Barcelona penalty area.

Full-back Oleg decisively stepped forward to intercept, and when Henry was just rushing up, Oleg got his foot in front of Henry, unable to touch the football, but interfered with Henry's progress, forcing Henry to fall to the ground.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and awarded Oleg a foul!

Henry got up from the ground and placed the ball at the foul spot and waited for his teammates to step forward.

Pire, Ljungberg both came up, and the Barcelona players were unsure what Thierry would do with the free-kick that wasn't too good on the left side of the box.

It was at this time that a figure sprinted forward at a gallop, and he started from the middle line, all the way forward, his eyes were firm, as if he was treading waves, and after rushing past Van Bommel's side, Van Bommel was startled.

Marcos and Puyol tried to close the door to stop the man's advance, but panicked after the man circled the edge of the box to the right side of the box.

That person was Qin Xiong!

For the first time, he stepped into the Barcelona penalty area!

Henry's free kick came out, and the football went straight to the back point in the penalty area around the arc, which was on the line where Qin Xiong ran!

Because Qin Xiong's sprint speed was too fast, like an arrow from the string, piercing Barcelona's defense, he and Henry's cooperation this time made Barcelona completely panic.

Kicking and jumping on the ground behind the penalty area, Qin Xiong shook his head to attack the goal in the face of the falling football!

Bang!

Qin Xiong tried his best to head the goal, and his strength was off the charts, it was like a shot with his feet, but unfortunately the angle left for him was not large, plus his sprint speed was too fast, it was difficult to control the angle of the header, and the football was finally blocked by Valdés in the near corner of the goal and blocked it with his arm!
