"The first half of the game has already started for nearly 10 minutes. Valencia, who are playing away, did not seem to be in the best state, because during this period of time, they were almost hung by the home team Barcelona, and the defense seemed a bit chaotic, not to mention the quick counterattack they are good at! If... If this situation continues, then... this game will likely be under the control of Barcelona."
Huang Jianxiang felt a little uncomfortable watching the game on the big screen. He has already made himself a Valencia fan after so many live broadcasts of Valencia's games, but his remaining professionalism allowed him to watch the game from a neutral perspective.
"It's not okay to continue like this! Changes must be made as soon as possible!!" Hyde felt the most nervous when explaining the match between Valencia and Barcelona recently, because this match at the Nou Camp is very important. If there is a slight carelessness, it will bring endless disasters.
At the right time, Barry took up the words, "It is true, we must make changes as soon as possible, otherwise if we let Barcelona continue to play like this, we will play very passively, and if we lose the ball, we will be even more sleepy..."
Before Barry finished speaking, Barcelona organized an attack at this time.
As usual, Deco and Xavi were passing the ball between each other in midfield, and if Valencia's defenders came up, they would move the ball to a safer place.
Baraja and Albelda thought so too.
Because in the opening nearly 10 minutes, Barcelona played like this, using their traditional pass-and-control football to consume the physical strength of their players.
At the same time, Messi, Eto'o and Ronaldinho also began to run without the ball at this time.
Rufete, Marchena and Aurelio didn't feel any pressure to stare at a Barcelona player each. They knew that as they had done in the previous few minutes, they would make this defense easier by paying attention to cutting off the connection between Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt players.
At the same time, they also know to pay attention to whether the Barcelona players will suddenly pass a deadly pass under the careless pass control, so the defensive players are very focused and there is no slack.
But it is this focused look that often causes irreparable losses.
So at this time, the left back Van Bronckhorst moved forward quietly, but no one noticed, and the right back Moretti just focused on Ronaldinho, the world footballer.
So... Harvey didn't stop the ball when he received a cross pass from Deco. Instead, under the surprise of all the Valencia players, he suddenly accelerated his tempo and made a long pass.
The football flew across the air, and Marchena, who was dragged at the end, subconsciously wanted the goalkeeper Canizares to handle the ball.
But the moment he turned around, he suddenly smelled a dangerous smell.
really!
A Barcelona player in a red and blue jersey is approaching the ball at high speed, and he is also closer than goalkeeper Canizares.
Canizares glanced at Van Bronckhorst, it seemed that he was closer to the football, so he retreated decisively towards the goal, and at the same time reminded the defender to defend.
Marchena was so frightened that the three souls disappeared and the seven souls disappeared, and he chased after him.
Of course, while chasing back, he did not forget to raise his right arm high to remind the linesman that the Barcelona player was suspected of being offside.
However, these are all in vain.
Ayala and Moretti also have the same natural physical reaction as him, hoping to defuse Barcelona's attack.
Van Bronckhorst swept the ball into the penalty area against the football. Marchena stretched out his right leg half a beat late, and the football rolled into the penalty area at high speed.
The ball was so urgent and fast that Valencia's defenders in the penalty area did not dare to stretch their legs at will, for fear of an own goal if they were not careful.
So they focused on Ronaldinho and Eiro who were ready to receive the pass, while Messi, who was the shortest, was habitually ignored by them.
But it was this neglect that caused Valencia irreparable damage.
Like a loach, Messi got into the small penalty area from the crowd, then stretched his short legs, the football changed direction, and Canizares subconsciously made a save, but he was powerless.
The football brushed the far post and rolled into the net, breaking the deadlock!
Immediately, long-lost cheers erupted from the Camp Nou stadium!
Finally ahead of Valencia at Camp Nou, not easy! !
At the same time, Messi clenched his fists! !
finally!In the Champions League semi-finals, he knocked on Valencia's goal for the team.
Of course, at this time, Messi also had to show off to Ai Luo.
But what made him regret was that Ai Luo didn't feel annoyed by this, but smiled and shook his head, looking very indifferent.
But this expression is different in Messi's eyes, so just keep pretending!When you lose at the Nou Camp, you will know how painful I was! !
*****
Messi's goal made Barcelona fans excited, and it also made Valencia fans feel unhappy, but their number of less than 8 is no match for the home team fans of nearly [-].
Conceding the ball first made Valencia's players feel uneasy.
This is the difference between the league and the cup.
Because the league is a long season, if you lose, you lose, and you will come back for the next game, but the cup game is different. If you die, it will only be a two-round knockout round. Even a conceded goal will affect the final result.
So... the players in Valencia started to panic.
After all, except for Albelda and Canizares, none of the players on the field have experience in the semi-finals of the Champions League, so they don't know what to do when they fall behind.
Although Albelda worked very hard in the midfield, one person cannot sort out the entire midfield, which requires the cooperation of every teammate.
After conceding the ball, except for the three old players Canizares, Ayala and Albelda who are relatively normal, Aiello in the frontcourt is relatively normal.
However, only Albelda in the midfield can't take care of both defensive and offensive ends of his side, because he is already negligent in defense and has no extra energy to devote to offense.
Therefore, Valencia's offense could not be stretched.
It is not an option for Aiello to stand alone in the frontcourt, so with Barcelona's attack, he also returned to the 30-meter area in front of his own half to help defend.
Looking at the mental state of the players on the field, Flores' brows almost changed from Sichuan to wavy.
He was afraid that Barcelona would take advantage of the momentum of just scoring a goal and kill the game directly, and it would be really difficult at that time.
"Forget it, let's stabilize the defense first!" Flores murmured.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Flores conveyed a message to the players on the field through Ailuo, that is, to defend firmly first, and then counterattack when there is a chance.
After all, it is now the semi-finals of the Champions League, even losing a goal at the Nou Camp is acceptable.
But once two goals are conceded on this field, it will be difficult to say in the Champions League final.
Judging from the previous ten minutes of the game, the UEFA Champions League is indeed different from the La Liga.
Like in the league, players like Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco are not in the current state at all. If the current performance is at the superstar level, then the performance in the league can only be regarded as the level of a first-class star.
Therefore, it is still necessary to shrink the defense during this period.
As Valencia retreated, Barcelona had fewer and fewer opportunities.
What's interesting is that as Valencia's defense became more stable, the opportunities for counterattacks began to increase, which gradually accelerated the pace of the game.
The six offensive players of Aiello, Vicente, David Villa, Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Messi are all players with outstanding speed, so there was a continuous long pass for a while.
That is to say, after the two sides defend successfully, they do not pass through the midfield organization, but directly organize the offense through long passes, hitting the opponent's back.
After several rounds of such attacks in sequence, the rhythm of the court became a bit chaotic.
In the words of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, "These few minutes of the game gave me the feeling that I was back in the Premier League!"
Rijkaard saw that the rhythm on the field was confused by Valencia's defense, and his face obviously became very ugly!
The Barcelona he coached is proficient in passing and controlling football. Only when they continue to press the opponent can they continue to score goals, just like the goal in the opening 10 minutes.
If the rhythm is too chaotic, the offense will be impossible to start, then the balance of victory will likely tilt towards the visiting team Valencia.
It wasn't what he wanted to see.
Because there are too many games lost to Valencia this season!
At this moment, Valencia organized an attack, and this time Albelda bypassed the midfielder again and sent a long pass directly to the left side of his attack.
Facing Oleg's defense, Aiello directly used his chest to rub the football to the gap between the latter and Puyol, and then started at a high speed, surpassing Puyol and Oleg in an instant.
Fortunately, in the end Oleg reacted quickly at this time, sacrificing the small self to fulfill the big self.
After finding something wrong, Elora fell to the ground and ended Valencia's attack at the cost of a yellow card.
It is worth mentioning that this penalty also aroused Valencia's dissatisfaction, because from their vision just now, Ai Luo is basically in a single-handed position, and Oleg's foul should be a direct red card instead of a yellow card warning.
However, the referee's penalty was very firm, and he did not change the penalty. Instead, he showed a yellow card to Aimar, who was the most emotional.
Oleg traded a yellow card for a defensive success, which was well worth it.
So Rijkaard on the sidelines gave him a high thumbs up.
The subsequent game entered a state of mutual offense and defense. Barcelona was wary of Valencia's counterattack, and Valencia was wary of Barcelona's backball, so both sides focused on the midfield competition.
Therefore, the chance of threatening the opponent's goal is much less.
Time also passed by every minute and every second, until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score on the field was still 1:0, and the home team took the lead.
