After Qin Xiong passed the corner kick back near the midfield on the right, Johnson came up to control the ball and then passed the ball to Alonso in the middle. Even if Liverpool reorganized the offensive, he was unwilling to give Barcelona the opportunity to counterattack fast attacks.
Guardiola frowned when he watched on the sidelines.
Liverpool will more or less consume Barcelona's physical fitness if they play like this.
It is conceivable that when defending corner kicks, Barcelona needs to retreat overall. If they can successfully defend and conduct a forward attack, it is okay, but Liverpool passes the ball back and Barcelona will press it from the backward forward formation to regain the ball.
In the process of regaining the ball, not to mention the 10 players, at least more than 6 players were running back and forth. On the other hand, what about Liverpool's consumption? It is actually very small.
In the 27th minute of the game, Liverpool's offense ended with a long shot outside the penalty area. Torres's shot was a bit outrageous and directly sent the ball to the stands.
Barcelona began to reorganize the offense. Xavi and Iniesta made a run back and forth in the midfield and frontcourt, and then connected the offensive. They first concentrated on creating opportunities for Messi, but Messi was submerged in Liverpool's dense defense in the middle and backcourt. Especially after Liverpool played the characteristics of a stronger physical confrontation in the Premier League in defense, Messi lacked space and was frequently fouled by Liverpool players. It was not fierce, but it was enough to make him very uncomfortable.
Messi tried to create opportunities for his teammates, but Ibrahimovic was not as flexible as Etoo, which greatly reduced the offensive activity.
Seeing that Messi's side could not play the expected effect, Xavi and Iniesta immediately changed the offensive direction, which in turn created some difficulties for Liverpool.
In the 31st minute of the game, Iniesta dribbled forward in the middle. He broke through Alonso through skillful ball control and changed direction under his feet. After he was about to fall into the double-team between Lucas and Mascherano. Iniesta knocked the ball back to Xavi behind him, who used his master-level pass technique to send a kick and pass directly against the ground.
The football rolled through the cracks to Liverpool's penalty area and the local area was left, even in a very narrow space, and Xavi still caught the opportunity.
Pedro successfully cut in and ran away and shot directly.
The football flew to the upper end of the far corner of the goal. Renner seemed out of reach, and when the Red Army generals looked at the goal nervously, they immediately relaxed.
The football flew into the stands against the edge of the beam!
"Barcelona almost equalized the score! Pedro's shot and goal difference is slight. If the football is lower, this goal will undoubtedly be scored!"
Liverpool's counterattack came to the gate one minute later.
Torres received a pass from the midfield to Gerald, and then began to advance the forward swift-dial band along the right area of the middle.
When he arrived at the penalty area, he passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong who cut from the side to the middle of the penalty area.
After the ball was released, Torres immediately stepped forward, and Pique retreated and stared at Torres. Qin Xiong pretended to pass the ball in front of Keita but changed direction to break through. Keita could not resist Qin Xiong's explosive power that was activated on the spot in an instant. After Qin Xiong broke through horizontally in front of him, Qin Xiong turned into Pique's defensive area, and used Torres as a cover to find the angle of the shot.
Qin Xiong saw Valdes move towards the goal near the post, so he shot on the spot and shot the ball towards the far corner of the goal, which was exactly the opposite of Valdes' running line.
Valdes stopped moving. When he saw the football flew over, he realized that he could not complete the save. He could only turn his head and look at the football and witness the trajectory of the football flying towards.
Qin Xiong deliberately shot the far corner of the goal, but the ball speed was not fast. He even gave people a sense of lightness and beauty.
when!
With the expectation of countless Red Army fans, the football did not fly into the dead corner of the goal, but gently rubbed the outside of the post and bounced out of the bottom line.
Qin Xiong stomped his feet in anger!
For some reason, he always feels that the footwork control he uses today is good, but the effect is a little worse.
This is a sense of state that can only be understood but not expressed.
Liverpool's coaching staff, players on the bench, and fans felt sorry for Qin Xiong's failure to score this goal.
"Qin Xiong's shot has defeated all Barcelona defenders, but he was unable to defeat Anfield's post in the end. If this ball is scored, it will definitely be a very exciting goal, but unfortunately it is a slight difference."
Barcelona's midfield commander Xavi has been thinking about how to break Liverpool's intensive defense.
Although Messi's point did not work, Messi himself has a huge threat, and the restraining of Liverpool's defense line is an invisible contribution.
Pedro's side cannot be said to be useless. It can only be said that Pedro is not a world-class striker, that's all. In such a level of confrontation, coupled with the technical and tactical confrontation, Liverpool has compressed the offensive space, so it is normal for Pedro to not perform magically.
The right and left sides have all been hit together.
Harvey's heart sank and could only gamble again.
In fact, Ibrahimovic has not integrated into Barcelona's system, at least it is not perfectly integrated, which is generally recognized.
So at a critical moment, if you want to bet on Ibrahimovic can turn the tide, there may not be many Barcelona players who will be full of confidence.
However, due to the current situation, Barcelona has no choice.
But if Barcelona wants to change the offensive center of gravity, they will not directly hit the middle lane with one stubbornness. They will still use passes to shape the offensive situation, then pass the ball back and forth horizontally and vertically to disrupt and tear the opponent's defense line, and finally, by changing the rhythm of the game and making a fatal blow that speeds up, the real offensive center of gravity will be exposed.
In the 39th minute of the game, Xavi passed the ball with Keita in the frontcourt to avoid Gerald's pressing, and then he passed the ball to the retreating Pedro.
As the football rolls to the left, Liverpool's defense will tilt slightly to the left.
Pedro consciously blocked and surrounded Lucas and Johnson, and then passed the ball to Maxville's feet from the back.
Maxville overdosed and passed the ball to Harvey in the middle.
Xavi immediately made a pass transfer. When tearing the opponent's defense, even if it was a pass, the most important thing was speed and pass success rate!
After Xavi sent the ball to Messi, Liverpool's defense line tilted to the left before immediately tilted to the right, in order to block Messi.
Before Messi touched the ball, Messi had already understood what Xavi meant, because after passing the ball, he was still watching Messi and running towards him.
Messi passed the ball back to Xavi's feet without saying a word.
After the left and right attacks were transferred and horizontally tearing and disrupting Liverpool's defense line, the attack space in the middle became larger, and after stopping the ball, Harvey began to launch a fatal attack.
Now is the time to truly see the picture! (To be continued.)
