The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 515: Mastered the initiative

During the intermission, neither side made adjustments.

Pellegrini didn't say too much to the players, but just asked everyone to continue to focus on the defense, and can appropriately invest more troops in the counterattack.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona suffered consecutive injuries. First, Henry was hit by Pepe while fighting for the header. He suffered a short shock and went to the side to receive treatment.

Then, Marcos had a muscle strain when he was carrying the ball without being rushed for four weeks and had to leave the field.

Puyol, who has not been hurt well, has replaced him.

After entering 55 minutes, Barcelona gradually strengthened the offense, and the direct passes given by Xavi and Iniesta increased significantly.

This is an adventure, if it is done, it will naturally pose a threat to Real Madrid; if the pass is broken, it is likely to give Real Madrid a chance to fight back.

But this game is the home of Barcelona, ​​Guardiola is definitely not willing to a 0: 0, so the appropriate risk must still be taken.

In the 61st minute, Messi received a pass from Harvey, and a vigorous volley shot was blocked by the defender. Alves followed up with a strong make-up. Casillas made a wonderful save and resolved the danger.

In the 67th minute, Russ Diarra gave the opponent a free kick with an excellent foul. Alves made a free kick, which was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 69th minute, Xavi sent a wonderful straight plug, Eto'o broke into the penalty area and opened Pepe to get a single shot, but his shot was magically hit by the bottom line of Casillas.

Corner taken by Harvey, Pique grabs the spot, but his header goes over the crossbar ...

Barcelona's onslaught left the opponent a little breathless.

After fierce ideological struggles, Pellegrini finally decided to let the team stand still and keep the draw, but this time he did not dare to replace Ricardo. Ricardo's presence on the field is a threat and will let Barcelona dared not attack 100%.

Guardiola also dispatched troops. At the end of the game, Hleb and Boyan replaced Henry and Eto'o.

Boyan got a great opportunity right after his appearance, and Alves's cross exactly found his head.

However, the small player Bo Yang is really not good at headers. He missed it and missed the chance of a lore.

Eventually the two sides had to shake hands and make peace.

In the post-match press conference, Pellegrini said that he was very satisfied with the performance of the players.

Guardiola didn't talk about the opponent's bus. In the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, it is already very common for the visiting team to put a bus. There is nothing to talk about.

"This score is fair for both sides," he said. "Real Madrid today is more tenacious than I expected. The next two games are played in Bernabeu, which is very bad for us, but I am confident the team Good results. I'm already familiar with Real Madrid's play. If Pellegrini continues to use today's tactics, they will pay. "

Both players can accept this score.

"... The key is the next two games," Ricardo said. "I foresee that there will be no more draws. Victory will not come easily, but we will pay for it all."

"Today we are playing more cautiously, and there are not many good opportunities for both sides," Messi said. "And in the next two games, Real Madrid cannot continue to put on the bus, we will have better progress. Opportunity. "
