however.

Attacking is not something you can do just by saying you want to attack.

Maybe when facing other teams.

Barcelona can complete the offensive suppression.

But they love you against Arsenal.

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

It's Arsenal led by Yello.

therefore.

Barcelona failed to grasp the offensive rhythm at the first time.

they
suppressed!

They are under siege!
Besieged by Arsenal!

This scene is truly jaw-dropping.

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

Besieged by Arsenal!

A team that can suppress Barcelona so embarrassingly.

Not many.

Even Real Madrid led by Mourinho.

When facing Barcelona.

They also take a defensive stance and use counterattacks to deal with their opponents.

And now.

Arsenal's attack.

But Barcelona had to retreat to the penalty area.

Barcelona almost started setting up buses.

Fortunately.

After Arsenal had no results after seven or eight minutes of attacking.

Also began to suspend the offensive.

At this moment.

After a wave of turmoil, Barcelona players.

Just started to stabilize my mood.

Start trying to attack.

But at this time.

First half game time.

There is not much left.

With Messi's inside kick, the shot missed the post.

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The whistle sounded.

Enrique breathed a sigh of relief.

If you are only one goal behind.

There was still some play in the second half.

What he was most worried about was that Barcelona conceded consecutive goals in the first half.

if that's the case.

Second half.
Basically there is no need to kick.

locker room.

Wenger looked serious and did not get carried away just because he was ahead.

The players were no longer nervous. They were talking and laughing and seemed very relaxed.

But in Wenger's opinion.

The team is a little drifting again.

Especially after Yello’s goal.

Everyone seemed a little carried away.

This is not good.

So Wenger is ready to pour some cold water on the players.

"Okay, gentlemen. Calm down from your complacency first. We were able to take the lead in the first half. I have to say it was luck. So don't pay too much attention to the score in the first half. You need to know our The opponent is Barcelona. I think you all know how strong they are. If you think that 21 leads can make Barcelona surrender, then you are too naive. Have you all forgotten that a one-goal lead is the most powerful thing in the world? Is this a dangerous score? So I have to be more careful in the second half and don’t take it lightly!”

After what Wenger said, the expressions of the players did change.

A one-goal lead is the most unsafe score...

It's really inappropriate for them to feel complacent just because they are leading by one goal...

Wenger poured cold water on his players.

Over there in Barcelona.

Enrique was busy cheering the players on.

Barcelona's morale is a bit low now - Yello's goal was too demoralizing.

Even the mighty Barcelona.

Encountering such a situation will inevitably lead to low morale.

"Remember that you are Barcelona, ​​do you understand the meaning of this name? Barcelona will never affect the overall performance because of the gain or loss of a goal. It is just that the opponent is lucky enough to score a goal. We are only one goal behind. For us, it’s nothing worth mentioning!”

The time for halftime passed quickly.

Then players from both sides appeared one after another.

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

The camera is now focused on Ye Luo.

Ye Luo's expression was relaxed. He and Cazorla next to him walked out of the tunnel talking and laughing.

Subsequently.

The lens turns.

Gave Messi a close-up.

Messi looked serious.

"The expressions of the two stars fully reflect the current situation of the two teams. Arsenal is obviously in the lead. They are relatively relaxed, while Barcelona is facing a more serious situation. They have just equalized. After the score was overtaken by the opponent, the situation was quite unfavorable.”

The commentator is introducing the situation of the two teams to everyone.

Arsenal took the first kick in the second half.

Barcelona did not press forward immediately.

They maintained their basic formation and did not easily give Arsenal a chance to pass the ball upfield.

Facing cautious Barcelona.

Arsenal's first attack of the second half ended with Yello's long shot.

After gaining the ball, Barcelona immediately pressed forward.

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

Failure to attack is death.

After the Barcelona players figured this out, they knew what they should do.

They launched a desperate attack towards Arsenal's goal.

Then Barcelona equalized the score for the second time 9 minutes into the second half.

"Messi! Messi! Messi!! Messi's No. 20 three Champions League goals this season! Amazing Messi, he saved the team once again! Barcelona's offense is too fierce!! Arsenal's The defense is completely unstoppable at this moment!”

"The unstoppable Messi! The unstoppable Barcelona, ​​their offense is still the most powerful offense in the world! They have proven that they are still the unstoppable Cosmos team!"

Amidst the crazy shouts of the commentators.

Messi spread his arms and ran wildly on the pitch.

"Barcelona! Barcelona!"

in the stands.

Barcelona fans were chanting.

The entire stand once again became the domain of Barcelona fans.

Wenger frowned.

After this goal.

Wenger suddenly realized a problem.

Arsenal's defense is very good.

in England.

Their defense is tough enough that many teams would have trouble with.

But now facing Barcelona.

Arsenal's defense is a bit lacking!
Because Barcelona's offense is very strong, no, very, very strong!

So much so that even if Arsenal shrinks their defense, they want to fight Barcelona's counterattack.

As a result, there was no chance to counterattack.

On the contrary, his own defense could not hold on first.

Wenger remembered that in the league, many teams also wanted to shrink their defense to fight Arsenal's counterattack. As a result, they could not withstand Arsenal's offense and lost consecutive goals and collapsed.

The same situation is facing Arsenal now.

Wanted to defend and counterattack but couldn't!

It seems that defensive counterattack is no longer possible.
Wenger reflected on the sidelines.

I have been hanging out with those teams in the Premier League for too long.

It made him forget that Barcelona is a superior team!
The usual tactics will not work against Barcelona!
He shouldn't let the team defend when they are one goal ahead.

Because I wanted to avoid the edge temporarily, I chose to defend, but every time I defended, I lost the ball.

This can't be done!
at least
Should cause more trouble for Barcelona.

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

Let him be able to exert his own strength without any distractions.

Wenger decided to adjust his strategy!attack!

Adjusting this strategy is not difficult.

Because Barcelona's offense is very strong, its defense is relatively not that strong.

Much like Arsenal.

Arsenal's defense is actually not weak.

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

in other words.

If two Arsenals were playing against each other.

A set of lineups.

One side mainly defends, and the other side mainly attacks.
The side that attacks will definitely win.

So the same goes for Barcelona!
Since the defense cannot be defended.

Then attack it!

Barcelona players celebrate a goal.

This time they finally completed the goal celebration safely.

And while they were celebrating.

Arsenal also took the opportunity to make tactical adjustments.

After equalizing the score.

Enrique finally put his hanging heart back into his stomach.

Evened the score.

The game is back on the right track.

Next comes the real battle between the two teams.

After the Arsenal restart.

Barcelona seemed very cautious this time, they were worried that 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 doesn’t have to play this game.

Morale must have completely collapsed.

This time it was because of Barcelona's caution.

Arsenal failed to replicate the miraculous comeback from last time.

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

The next game was eye-catching.

Because Arsenal no longer sticks to their own half and waits for counterattack opportunities.

They also did not immediately recover after a harassing attack.

Instead, he continued to attack!
This move made the audience's eyes light up.

But Enrique couldn't help but frown.

Arsenal actually put on a posture of attacking Barcelona!

they
Are you looking for death?

Teams that play against Barcelona usually die miserably.

Confrontation means more gaps at the back.

And Barcelona, ​​which has Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi, likes these gaps the most.

They can use these spaces to complete very sharp passing coordination.

Let Messi have a very spacious galloping space.

The consequence is that Barcelona's goals will come one after another.

The opponent will definitely collapse by then.

Because their offense cannot compare with Barcelona.

But the Arsenal in front of me actually wants to attack!
Let’s face off against Barcelona! !
Enrique should be excited at this moment.

But the cautious Enrique hesitated at this time.

He was wondering if this was a trap?
Did the Arsenal people set a trap for Barcelona?

Enrique didn't think about it, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

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

He would like to see what Arsenal's true intentions are.

Enrique is cautious.

Barcelona's players didn't think that much.

When they saw that Arsenal did not retreat, but continued to attack with the ball, they suddenly became energetic!
Here's your chance! !
The game is great!
Follow Barcelona's experience.

As long as the opponent dares to press forward, the gap behind him will be exposed.

Then Barcelona can score easily.

They believe Arsenal were stimulated by their two consecutive equalizers.

They wanted to score desperately and take the lead again.

but
You are so anxious.

Then we won’t be polite! !

Barcelona's players appreciated Arsenal's overestimation of their capabilities.

They are ready to wait for the opponent to press forward before taking advantage of the space behind them.

Both sides in this game made empiric errors.

Arsenal underestimated Barcelona's offense.

And Barcelona did not anticipate how powerful Arsenal's offense would be.

Because Barcelona has not played against Arsenal in the past two years.

They lack an intuitive feel for Arsenal's strength.

And they don't think any team would dare to attack Barcelona when facing them.

So when Arsenal came up and attacked with all their strength.

The Barcelona players were suddenly confused.

Because Arsenal's offensive is too fierce!
Unlike Barcelona’s offense where the ball is passed back and forth.

Arsenal's offense is much more direct.

They rarely play in midfield.

Instead, he passes the ball forward very quickly.

Continuous impact.

This kind of offense feels like a tide, one wave after another.

The offensive is raging!

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

Moreover, Arsenal's two midfielders, Gerrard and Cazorla, are good at long-range shots.

They can threaten Barcelona's goal from a long distance.

Whenever possible.

There will be a long shot coming over.

During this period of time, Valdez could be said to have been blocking with high speed, and he was very tired.

for a while.

Barcelona was suppressed by Arsenal for almost 10 consecutive minutes!

It was different from the scene near the end of the first half. In the first half, Barcelona subjectively wanted to shrink its defense, which allowed Arsenal to attack.But no one would think that it was Arsenal's attacking power that pushed Barcelona back.

It's different now. Now everyone is watching Barcelona try to counterattack from Arsenal's offensive again and again, but they just can't start.Barcelona seemed to have been grabbed by Arsenal's head and beaten violently on the ground. They could only parry and resist with their hands.

Want to take the time to fight back?

None of the doors!
Barcelona fans originally felt that Arsenal were seeking death by pressing forward.

But now they finally feel something is wrong.

It’s been almost 10 minutes.

Barcelona.
It seems like the ball didn't even touch the ball in these 10 minutes!
How is this going?

Is this still Barcelona?

The mighty Barcelona tried to attack but couldn't. Instead, they were forced to play by Arsenal.

Didn't even make it past halftime.

Is this still the Barcelona we are familiar with?
For a moment, everyone felt a little stunned.

Will Arsenal's offense be so strong?
Barcelona's plan is to wait for Arsenal to attack for a while, lure the snake out of the hole, and then launch another offensive when they are paralyzed.

Bury Arsenal completely!

From falling behind, to equalizing, to overtaking.

Once they really overtook the score.

Predictably Arsenal's morale will plummet.

And they will definitely press hard again in order to equalize, when the time comes.
Now comes Barcelona's chance to seal the victory.

Planning is wonderful.

The reality is very skinny.

10 minutes passed.

Arsenal's attack shows no signs of slowing down.

They do it in various ways.

A cross from the wing.

Long pass from the backcourt.

Cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt.

On the ground, high in the sky.

Headers, long shots, points in the penalty area!

Various offensive tactics took turns to bombard Barcelona's defense. (End of chapter)
