Chapter 1599 Direction ([-])

Cech's yellow card is a bit uncomfortable, but considering Cech's rich experience, there is nothing to say.

Barcelona is still onslaught, No.309 minutes Puyol stopped in the penalty area and knocked back with a long pass, Neymar stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area and volleyed, but Terry blocked the bottom line with his body.

After the corner kick was taken, Cristo in the penalty area pushed the football out of the penalty area, but it didn't go far, but directly gave it to Iniesta, but before Iniesta made a move, Matic pushed the ball out of the penalty area. In the backcourt tackle, although his tackle was very accurate on the ball, it was also brought to Iniesta. The referee thought it was a foul, and Barcelona once again got a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

Messi personally took the penalty, and his free kick passed, but Suarez and Neymar ran together, and Neymar, who outflanked the point, fouled Marcos who had been pestering him. Chelsea once again saved the day.

"It's really dangerous to fight like this. Chelsea is too passive, isn't it?" Xu Luyang frowned and looked at Ai Huan from time to time, but found that Ai Huan was not nervous at all, but looked indifferent. It seemed to him that the result of this game was of no value at all.

Lampard's end did cause some problems for Chelsea, but Mourinho did not rush to replace, but let Matic take on Lampard's tasks. During this period of time, Matic's The performance is very good, his performance on the defensive end is remarkable, but several long balls have failed to create a chance, but this can't be all blamed on him. After all, Chelsea have replayed the whole line now, and want to count on Willian and Moses to start from the halfway line It is still a bit difficult to give full play to your own speed advantage.

No.40 In the second minute, Luiz seemed to have strained his leg after sliding the tackle in the front court. He was lying on the ground and did not get up, but Barcelona continued to attack, as if they did not see any players lying on the ground.Messi forced a breakthrough in the middle, Marcos directly fouled with a sliding tackle and received a yellow card, which stopped Barcelona's offense, and Diego Costa immediately angrily accused the opponent of not stopping the offense.

Faced with his accusations, no one in Barcelona spoke to him. Instead, they prepared a free kick. When the referee blew his whistle, Neymar took the penalty himself, and his vigorous free kick volleyed directly high.

It may be because this foul also made Barcelona a little embarrassed. They did not play any threatening offense again in the rest of the first half. Instead, Chelsea seized the opportunity to hit two counterattacks in a row. Less, so they all returned in vain, and then the first half of the game ended.

Xu Luyang watched the players from both sides leave the field, and then let out a sigh of relief, "Da Huanzi, do you think they will change their tactics in the second half?"

Ai Huan curled his lips, "I don't know much about Barcelona, ​​but I think if they don't change their tactics, they will be courting death. Chelsea's biggest problem now is Luiz. I saw him limping just now, and I don't know his legs. It doesn't matter if the injury is serious, it should have been a strain just now, I know that his leg has always been injured, and now I don't know if he can hold on."

"Does Louis play a big role? I basically didn't see him?" Xu Luyang was a little strange, and didn't understand why Ai Huan had such concerns about this dispensable player.

Ai Huan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Louis didn't disappear, but he fulfilled his responsibilities very well. He was in charge of Quinta Neymar's line in the first half of the game, and Quinta was in charge of the whole first half. There is no way to pose a threat on this side, which already shows how good his level is? What's more, Chelsea now has one less person. Although Matic can take on the heavy responsibilities of both offense and defense, he will lose sight of the other in this way. The central threat from Barcelona is huge, but it is still a bit difficult to defend the central with one less Messi, so Luiz has become a key figure."

"Could it be that Mikel doesn't have such ability?"

"It's hard to say, if the former Mikel can really make a difference on both offensive and defensive ends, but the problem is that this season Mikel's state is very unstable, even on the defensive end. It’s very average, which is why he lost his main position as soon as he entered the Chinese shoulder pads, if he can maintain his state all the time, it won’t be like this.”

"It turned out to be like this." Xu Luyang did not have any objections to Ai Huan's analysis. After all, Ai Huan and Mikel are teammates, and his evaluation should be very pertinent. Uncomfortable, why do you say that? They clearly had a huge advantage in the first half, and they were only a little away from scoring."

Ai Huan sneered, "It seems that Barcelona has the upper hand, but in fact their striker combination is very problematic. This is not a simple arithmetic problem. One plus one equals two, but something more complicated. The first half of the game Although Neymar and Suarez are both working hard, there is no cooperation between the two of them at all. The characteristics of this person are too similar. In addition, Luis basically suppressed Quinta's passing route, which also made Neymar Marr couldn't get support from behind, so he had to move sideways to Suarez's side to grab points, but the result of this was that the two always ran together, squeezing each other's space, so Neymar Suarez's speed and technical advantages can't be brought into play, and Suarez is the same. They have become the biggest obstacle for the opponent. Messi has never scored a goal in Chelsea, and he also very much hopes to achieve his own success here. Merit, this also makes him not pass the ball frequently in this game, which also makes Barcelona's offensive group look very chaotic. Watching your team waste chance after chance? Know that chances don't always come."

"What you said makes sense, but this attack combination is not the first time it has appeared. Although it is difficult to see, it is definitely not the first time. Barcelona's offense has never been so chaotic before?"

"That's because Barcelona's midfield organization ability is too strong, but the problem is that this time they met Mourinho who is too familiar with them. Jose may have thought of such a result long ago, so Barcelona's midfielder in this game It didn't really play much, and that was the best thing Luiz and others did in the first half."
