However.

Attacking, it's not like you can get it by saying you want to attack.

Maybe against other teams.

Barcelona can finish the attack.

But they love you and it's Arsenal who are facing you.

It was Arsenal who had just scored and exceeded the score again.

It was Arsenal led by Yelo.

Therefore.

Barcelona failed to get the first time in attack.

They

Suppressed!

They are under siege!

Besieged by Arsenal!

This scene is really jaw-dropping.

In the last five or six years, Barcelona has been recognized as the strongest team in world football.

Besieged by Arsenal!

The team that can keep Barcelona in such a mess.

Not much, indeed.

Even Real Madrid, led by Jose Mourinho.

Against Barcelona.

It is also on the defensive and counterattacking to deal with the opponent.

And now.

Arsenal's attack.

But Barcelona had to retreat into the penalty area.

Almost all of them have Barcelona started to put buses.

Fortunately.

Arsenal have been on the offensive for seven or eight minutes without a win.

A pause in the offensive also began.

At this time.

Barcelona's players are in the wake of a wave of rumour.

only then did he begin to stabilize his emotions.

It's time to try to attack.

But when the time comes.

First half game time.

There is not much left.

With Messi's in-cut shot wide of the post.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

The whistle blew.

Enrique was relieved.

If you are only one goal behind.

There was still some play in the second half.

His biggest concern was Barcelona conceding back-to-back goals in the first half.

In that case.

Second.

I basically don't have to kick.

Locker room.

Arsene Wenger had a serious face and didn't get carried away because he was ahead.

The players weren't nervous, they were talking and laughing and they looked relaxed.

But in Arsene Wenger's view.

The team is a bit drifting again.

Especially after Yelo's goal.

Everyone seemed a little carried away.

That's not good.

So Arsene Wenger is ready to pour cold water on his players.

"All right, gentlemen. Calm down from the smug emotions first. We were able to take the lead in the first half, I have to say there was an element of luck in it, so don't worry too much about the score in the first half. To know that our opponent is Barcelona and how strong they are, I think you all know very well. If you think that a 21-11 lead will make Barcelona raise their hands and surrender, you would be naïve. Have you all forgotten the saying that a one-goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world? So in the second half, give me more caution and don't take it lightly! ”

Arsene Wenger's words did change the players' expressions.

A one-goal lead is the least safe score......

It's a bit undeserved for them to be proud of a one-goal lead......

Arsene Wenger poured cold water on his players.

Over there in Barcelona.

Enrique was busy cheering on his players.

Morale at Barcelona is a bit low at the moment – Yelo's goal was too demoralizing.

Even if it's a mighty Barcelona.

In such a situation, morale will inevitably be low.

"Remember you're Barcelona, do you understand the meaning of the name? Barcelona never let the win or loss of a goal affect the overall performance. It's just that the opponent was lucky to score a goal, we are only one goal behind, and the difference of one goal is simply not worth mentioning for us! ”

The time of the intermission passed quickly.

Players from both sides then came out one after another.

Yelo and Messi were clearly the focus of the televised cameras.

The camera is now locked on Ye Luo.

Ye Luo's expression was relaxed, and he and Cazorla next to him walked out of the player's tunnel with a smile and a smile.

Subsequently.

The camera turned.

Gave Messi a close-up.

Messi's face was serious.

'The expressions of the two big players are a reflection of the situation of the two teams at the moment, Arsenal are clearly in the lead, they are relatively easy, and Barcelona are facing a more serious situation, they have just equalised and were overtaken by their opponents, which is quite bad."

The narrator is introducing you to the situation of the two teams.

It was Arsenal who kicked off first in the second half.

Barcelona didn't press forward the first time.

They maintained a basic formation and did not give Arsenal the chance to get the ball up front.

Facing a cautious Barcelona.

Arsenal's first attack of the second half ended with a long-range strike from Yelo.

After winning the ball, Barcelona immediately pressed hard.

It can even be said that there is some desperate momentum.

If you don't attack, you die.

The Barcelona players figured this out and knew what they were going to do.

They launched a desperate attack towards the Arsenal goal.

Barcelona then equalised for the second time just nine minutes into the second half.

"Messi! Messi! Messi!! Messi's 23rd Champions League goal this season! Amazing Messi, he saved the team again! Barcelona's attack was too fierce!! Arsenal's defense was completely unstoppable at this moment! ”

"Unstoppable Messi! Unstoppable Barcelona, their attack is still the strongest in the world! They proved that they are still an unstoppable Cosmos team! ”

In the midst of the frantic shouts of the commentators.

Messi opened his arms and ran wild on the pitch.

"Barcelona! Barcelona! ”

In the stands.

Barcelona fans chanting.

The whole stand has once again become the world of Barcelona fans.

Arsene Wenger frowned.

After this goal.

Arsene Wenger suddenly realized a problem.

Arsenal defended well.

In England.

Their defense is toughness that many teams get headaches for.

But now facing Barcelona.

Arsenal's defense is a bit underwhelming!

Because Barcelona's attack is strong, no, very, very strong!

So much so that Arsenal even shrunk their defense and wanted to play Barcelona's counter-attack.

As a result, the opportunity to counterattack did not come out.

On the contrary, his own defense couldn't hold it first.

Arsene Wenger remembered that in the league, many teams also wanted to shrink their defense to play Arsenal's counterattack, but they couldn't withstand Arsenal's attack and collapsed directly after conceding goals in a row.

That's what Arsenal are facing.

I want to defend and counterattack but I can't hold it!

Looks like the defensive counterattack won't work

Arsene Wenger reflected on the sidelines.

I've been with those teams in the Premier League for too long.

Let him forget that Barcelona is a super team!

The usual routine against Barcelona is not good!

With a one-goal lead, he shouldn't let the team defend.

I chose to defend because I wanted to avoid the edge for a while, but the result of every defense was to lose the ball.

That's not going to work!

At least

It should cause more problems for Barcelona.

It is necessary to create a more relaxed competition environment for Ye Luo.

Let him be able to exert his strength without distraction.

Arsene Wenger has decided to change his strategy!

Offensive!

It's not hard to adjust this strategy.

Because Barcelona's attack is strong, the defense is relatively not so strong.

It's a lot like Arsenal.

Arsenal's defense is actually not weak.

But it's not that strong compared to their offense.

In other words.

If it's two Arsenal matches.

Pass a lineup.

One side defends, one side attacks,

That's definitely the side that will win.

So the same is true against Barcelona!

Since the defense can't be prevented.

Then attack it!

Barcelona's players celebrate a goal.

This time, they finally finished the goal celebration peacefully.

And just as they were celebrating.

Arsenal, for their part, also took the opportunity to make tactical adjustments.

After the equaliser.

Enrique finally put his hanging heart back in his stomach.

The equaliser was made.

The game is back on track.

Then it's time for the two teams to really face off.

After Arsenal restart.

Barcelona looked cautious this time around, fearing Arsenal would take advantage of the kick-off opportunity to score again.

If you equalize twice in a row, you will be overtaken twice in a row.

Then Barcelona don't have to play this game.

Morale must have collapsed completely.

This time because of Barcelona's caution.

Arsenal have not been able to replicate the miraculous comeback of their last time.

Just when everyone thought that this game would enter a stalemate because of this.

The next game was a sight to behold.

Because Arsenal no longer stick to their own half and wait for a counter-attacking opportunity.

Nor did they make a harassing attack and then recycle immediately.

Instead, the offensive continued!

This move made the audience's eyes shine.

But Enrique couldn't help frowning.

Arsenal actually put on a posture to attack against Barcelona!

They

Is it looking for death?

The team that plays against Barcelona usually dies miserably.

Attacking means more gaps in the backline.

And Barcelona, who have Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Messi, likes these slots the most.

They can use that space to make very sharp passes.

Let Messi have a very spacious galloping space.

As a result, Barcelona goals will continue to come one after the other.

At that time, the opponent will definitely collapse.

Because their attack can't be compared to Barcelona.

But the Arsenal in front of him is going to attack!

Fight against Barcelona!!

Enrique should have been excited at this moment.

But the cautious Enrique was a little hesitant at this time.

He wondered if this was a trap.

Did the Arsenal man play Barcelona down?

Enrique didn't figure it out, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

At this time, it is better to be still than to move.

He'll want to see what Arsenal's true intentions are.

Enrique was cautious.

Barcelona's players didn't think much of it.

When they saw that Arsenal did not retreat, but continued to attack with the ball, they suddenly felt refreshed!

Here's your chance!!

It's a good game!

Follow the Barcelona experience.

As long as the opponent dares to press it, it will reveal the gap behind him.

Then Barcelona will score easily.

They believe it was Arsenal who were spurred on by their two successive equalisers.

They want to go out of their way to score goals and put the score back in again.

But

You're in such a hurry.

Then you're welcome!!

Barcelona's players appreciated Arsenal's lack of self-reliance.

They were ready to wait for the other to press on them before using the space behind them.

Both sides made empirical mistakes in this match.

Arsenal, for their part, underestimated Barcelona's attack.

And Barcelona didn't anticipate how strong Arsenal's attack was.

Because Barcelona haven't played with Arsenal in two years.

They lack an intuitive sense of how strong Arsenal are.

And they don't think any team will dare to press against Barcelona against them.

So when Arsenal came up and went all out.

Barcelona's players were a little confused.

Because Arsenal's attack is too fierce!

It's different from Barcelona's back-and-forth passing.

Arsenal's attack was much more direct.

They rarely do a backfoot in midfield.

It's a quick forward pass.

Continuous shocks.

This kind of attack feels like a tidal wave, wave after wave.

The offensive is in full swing!

That word couldn't be more apt to describe Arsenal's attack.

And Arsenal's two midfielders, Steven Gerrard and Cazorla, are good at shooting from distance.

They can threaten Barcelona's goal from great distances.

As long as there is a chance.

There's going to be a long shot.

During this time, Valdés can be said to be high and resistant, tired enough.

All of a sudden.

Barcelona has been suppressed by Arsenal for almost ten minutes in a row!

It was not the same as the scene near the end of the first half, in which Barcelona subjectively had to shrink the defense to allow Arsenal to press the attack. But no one would think that it was Arsenal's attacking power that pushed Barcelona back.

It's different now, everyone is watching Barcelona try to counter-attack from Arsenal again and again, but they just can't do it. Barcelona seemed to have been grabbed by Arsenal in the head, pressed to the ground and beaten violently, and could only parry with their hands desperately.

Want to find time to fight back?

There are no doors!

Barcelona fans also thought that Arsenal were looking for death when they pressed up.

But now they finally feel that something is wrong.

It's been almost ten minutes.

Barcelona.

I don't even seem to have touched the ball skin in the past ten minutes!

What's going on?

Is this still Barcelona?

The dignified Barcelona wanted to attack but couldn't attack, but was pressed by Arsenal to kick.

I couldn't even get past half time.

Is this still the Barcelona we are familiar with?

For a moment, everyone felt a little stunned.

Arsenal's attack, will it be so strong?

The plan for Barcelona is to wait for Arsenal to attack for a while, lure the snake out of the hole, and then launch another attack when they are careless.

Bury the Arsenal completely!

From falling behind, to equalizing, to overtaking.

Once they really overtook the score.

Predictably, Arsenal's morale will fall.

And they're going to press hard again in order to be able to equalize, and when the time comes.

Barcelona had their chance to seal the win.

It's a good idea.

The reality is very skinny.

Ten minutes passed.

Arsenal's attack showed no signs of slowing down.

They do so in a variety of ways.

Wide cross.

Long pass from the back.

Midfield coordination.

Ground-based, high-altitude.

Headers, long-range shots, penalty area grabs!

A variety of attacking tactics were used to bombard Barcelona's defence. (End of chapter)
