Cristiano Ronaldo's side took the lead.

But on Barcelona's side, Guardiola also took the opportunity to hold an impromptu meeting to adjust the team's tactics.

Another reason for the discord between Van Gaal and Guardiola is that Guardiola likes to change the tactics set up by the manager.

No coach likes this kind of player who thinks too much.

Maxa: I just like this kind of player!

No "coach" likes this kind of player who thinks too much.

Maxa: 666, I recognize this wave!

'They did a good job defending on the wings and their full-backs never stepped in. Deng Kai, Deschamps and Mateus, who will become wing-backs at any time, are also very good defensively. "So we have to keep the ball as much as we can and don't give them the chance to attack, because they are very sharp and it's very difficult for us to completely limit their two wings. ”

'Once they cross from the wing, it's hard for us to deal with.

'Once we have the ball, we try to attack as much as we can directly down the middle. The gaps behind Viana can be exploited, and with Dunkay having a lot of range of movement, it's a good option to hit the side where he's not around. ”

"Facing their two midfielders and using speed to solve it, even Mateus's ability to move is greatly reduced now. Overmars, Simão, deal with them like you do with me, understand? ”

"Also, if you face their centre-back, it's that Fonte, eat him directly, his defense is mediocre and won't cause too much trouble for our forward line."

After Guardiola finished speaking, the players nodded their heads.

Perhaps off the pitch, Barcelona is torn apart and full of hills.

But on the pitch, especially when you're behind, everyone still wants to win.

No matter how bad it is, if the UEFA Cup is transferred again, the value can remain low.

Not everyone has the courage and capital to choose an escape transfer like Petit.

Then, Barcelona really started to keep possession for a long time, and the style of play was eighty percent similar to that of Sporting Lisbon.

Because this team has been coached by Louis van Gaal for the past few years.

And one of the underlying tactics of Sporting Lisbon is Van Gaal's big circle tactic.

Sporting Lisbon is a thing that can be played, and there is no reason why Barcelona, the own son, can't play.

Almost 20 minutes later, Barcelona increased their possession to 70 per cent during that time.

That's a horrible statistic.

Because Sporting Lisbon itself is also a big player in possession.

This shows that the Barcelona players are indeed more competent in terms of personal ability.

In the 41st minute, Rivaldo, who has always liked to stand in the midfield position, adjusted his position to the right and made a switch with Gerard López.

It's a regular left-right rotation that can change the defensive environment a player encounters.

After the change, the defenders have to readjust to their defensive goals, which is often more dangerous at this time.

But no one expected that at the moment when Rivaldo and Gerard López overlapped, Guardiola suddenly made a long pass at the back.

Right rib front!

Rivaldo sped up and rushed to the right front.

Gerard Lopez went straight from lateral movement to vertical forward and smashed into the Sporting Lisbon penalty area.

Mateus gets into position early and wants to stop Rivaldo.

But Rivaldo used both hands and feet to break free from Mateus's pull.

The same Ballon d'Or level player, one is at the peak of his career, and the other is already at the end of his career.

There is already a big gap between the abilities of the two.

Rivaldo came out of the trap and flew out of his left leg to stop the ball.

It was a very difficult stoppage.

Even Rivaldo had a lot of work.

Even when Rivaldo had not yet developed absolute control over the football, he gave Fonte the opportunity to come and wreak havoc.

Bang! Rivaldo crosses the ball over the top and goes past Fonte.

At the same time, he also accelerated laterally and got a chance to shoot on the right side of the penalty area.

Font tried to stretch his leg to block, but his inertia was still moving in the opposite direction, and even if he stretched his leg, it couldn't be extended at all.

Bang!

Rivaldo fired a left-footed volley directly into the instep of his left foot the moment the ball bounced off the ground, without waiting for the ball to hit the ground again.

The ball soared into the sky, but with a strong forward spin.

After passing the small forbidden area line, it turned sharply, and the arc was against the sky.

Schmeichel tried his best to save, but there was nothing he could do with this fairy ball.

No one can come.

“GOAL！ Rivaldo! Mr. Rivaldo stands up! ”

"It was definitely a great performance for Rivaldo! This could be voted the best goal of the round! ”

"After the perfect stop of the super difficult ball, I immediately picked the ball and passed people, and then immediately received a strange arc of the world wave! Rivaldo is truly the gem of Brazil! ”

"He is the absolute core of this Barcelona team!"

"One-to-one! Barcelona equalised and boasted a valuable away goal! ”

Of course, Pep Guardiola's passing is also very sharp, with long passes from the back and connecting with Rivaldo. In recent games, he has returned to the starting line-up and the Barca coaching staff has proven the right decision. ”

"Barcelona fans sing Rivaldo's song, Barcelona is on the rise!"

"Sporting Lisbon's ticket management is really problematic and so many Barcelona fans are pouring into the stadium, which is not good news for Sporting Lisbon's young players."

Really.

With the support of Barcelona fans, Barcelona launched several waves of attacks one after another.

Forty-fifth minute.

It was Pep Guardiola, who made a long pass over the top directly at the back and found Kluivert, who had retreated. After passing the ball, he even looked at Deng Kai with extra strength, as if to say: This is the style of the four talents in the back, boy, football should be played like me!

Deng Kai endured the nausea and quickly returned to the defense.

It's also loaded.

Guaguaron, you wait for me!

In the second half, your physical strength is gone, and I will let you know what it means to be poor!

Frontcourt.

Kluivert, with the advantage of his size, relied on Mateus.

Mateus is extremely good at defending frontally, but when he is blocked by a tall player, he doesn't have a good solution.

After all, Mateus' height is only one meter seventy-four.

Bang!

Kluivert saw Simão cutting inside and used his speed advantage to get stuck in front of Terry and opted for a pass.

Annoyed, Mateus took advantage of Kluivert's pass and pushed Kluivert down from behind. Then immediately move to the left, following Rivaldo, who thrust forward, away from the scene of the incident.

But his experienced handling did not hide from the referee's eyes.

The referee holds the whistle in his mouth and is ready to blow it at any moment.
