After Milan scored against Barcelona, the Barcelona players were a little depressed and doubted their lives.

But who Guardiola is, he reacted quickly and immediately adjusted.

Adriano and Alves began to press again, while Messi returned more to the middle of the midfield to receive the ball, and then used his individual ability to break through and pass.

One rises and the other goes away.

Milan's young players were a little overexcited after the goal, causing some players to start losing their defensive positions, which also made Barca's attack more comfortable.

In the 44th minute, Xavi in midfield sent a through ball forward after getting away from Boateng's close defence.

Messi picked up the ball and suddenly started and got between Kante and Gattuso.

Kante and Gattuso scrambled to close the door but couldn't keep the nimble little flea at bay.

Seeing that Messi was about to enter the penalty area, central defender Van Dijk hurried over to make up for the defense.

He saw the direction in which Messi was about to shake and was ready to cut off the ball in the path of Messi's movement.

But what I didn't expect was that Messi chose to shoot directly with his left foot!

His leg swing was small, his shot was subtle, and the kick was fast and fast, straight into the bottom right corner of the net.

Abbiati didn't have any chance, and was stunned on the spot.

1:1, Barcelona managed to equalize.

This immediately sent the entire Camp Nou stadium into a frenzy.

After all, it was a goal just before half-time, which was especially important for the morale of the whole team and the tactical choices made in the second half.

Shortly after the Barcelona players finished celebrating and Milan restarted, the referee blew the half-time whistle.

……

AC Milan dressing room.

All the starters were sweating profusely and letting out heavy gasps.

Against a team like Barcelona, constantly running and defending is bound to consume a lot of physical energy from the players.

It is this relentless running that gives Milan a chance to win against strong opponents on the road.

But it was a pity that they couldn't hold on to the win in the final moments and couldn't go into the break with the lead.

'After Ibrahimovic's goal, we didn't concentrate enough. Tassotti spoke first, "Defending a player like Messi, you have to be 100% focused. ”

Allegri nodded in agreement and said: "We can't afford to make another mistake like that in the second half. We played really well in the first half, so I hope you keep it up! ”

At this moment, Gattuso suddenly jumped up from his seat:

"My question. I just didn't stop Messi, and when he broke through just now, I should have taken him down as soon as possible. ”

This upright boy is not ambiguous when he admits his mistake.

Van Dijk also stood up: "I'm the last defender and I have a problem. I thought he would do it again, but I didn't expect to shoot straight at goal. ”

Pan Yi smiled and said to Gattuso: "He's Messi." Even if you pull him down, can you guarantee that his free-kick won't score? ”

Then he faced Van Dijk: "So I don't blame you for this goal, it's not easy to defend Messi alone in that position." ”

Saying that, Pan Yi walked straight to the tactical board again and pointed to the position of Barcelona's right winger, that is, Messi:

"Messi's role is flexible. Theoretically, he's a striker, but he's not the kind of striker who bursts forward. He would often go back to the low post and get the ball close to midfield. ”

"I've researched where he's active the most. The answer is the position of the ribs on the right side, which is about 70% more active than the left side. ”

'It's clear that Messi likes it the most, he's got his talent here, he can move around and he can cut inside – just like he did.

"If he's on the left, he's basically going to have to rely on his speed to get down."

"So, the three of us in the midfield, we have to keep an eye on our position, always keep an eye on the situation on the right side, and Mane has to come back to help, so that we can basically block his space."

'We also have a five-man encirclement here for him, left-back Desiglio, left winger Sadio Mane, left-sided midfielders Gattuso and N'Golo Kante, and left-sided centre-back Virgil van Dijk.

"Once Messi is in this area, I ask not only someone to go up and get close to him and stop him from turning around, but the other people are also responsible for providing coverage and doing a secondary defense."

"Messi is certainly a great player, but this many-on-one strategy should still allow us to limit his play and control the situation......

In the end, Pan Yi knocked heavily on the tactical board and clenched his fists again:

"As the two coaches said, as long as we stay focused, don't make mistakes and do a tight job on the defensive end, we can create precious counter-attacking opportunities. Then, in the second half, take the victory back! We want a draw! ”

Allegri also applauded vigorously at everyone:

"Coach Pan Yi is right. We played like we just said in the second half and completely restrained Messi! All of you remember that we have only one goal in this game, and that is to win! ”

All the players stood up in unison and shouted:

"That's right! Limit Messi! Victory over Barcelona!! ”

……

At the start of the second half, Barcelona still quickly controlled the ball and launched an attack on Milan's position.

But they soon found that their midfield was stumbling again, and even Messi's return to possession became extremely difficult.

There was a bit of a stalemate, with both sides struggling to create decent chances.

As the game dragged into the 70th minute, Pan Yi looked at Allegri.

It's time for a substitution.

Allegri understood and immediately began to dispatch troops.

Ambrosini up, Gattuso down.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up, Mane down.

Both substitutions were made on the left side of the defensive pressure.

After all, what they are facing may be the strongest wing offensive line in Europe: Messi + Alves.

Ambrosini came on as a counter-substitution between two equally determined veterans to keep the midfield alive and continue to strangle Barca's passing.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, on the other hand, can continue to press on the left without losing much of the speed of the striker to maintain the mobility of the counter-attack.

At the same time, Xavi on the opposite side is also a veteran in his 30s, and after more than 70 minutes of fierce battle, his physical fitness has also dropped significantly, and he is not as comfortable as he was at the beginning.

Therefore, Milan chose to make substitutions at this point in time, which is to try to catch the opportunity of the opponent's mistake when Barcelona's control is declining, and then give Barcelona a fatal blow.

After the substitution, Pan Yi couldn't help but glance at the Barcelona bench.

I saw Guardiola still squatting there, looking at the field intently.

"Gua Shuai's ability to see and dismantle moves is really strong, and he deserves to be a world-class coach." Pan Yi muttered softly:

"We can only hope that luck is on our side...... Bo Yibo, bicycle into motorcycle! ”
