Chapter 915 Gunpowder barrel and fuse

"This is the game we should play! Yes, gentlemen, you played a great game, we need this kind of courage, we came here with only one goal, and that is to beat Barcelona and advance to the next round of the Champions League .

Mourinho's voice echoed in the dressing room, it inspired every Arsenal player.

Although after 45 minutes of the game, many people were physically exhausted in the fierce offense, but they still had smiles on their faces.

The rhythm of the game is very smooth!

They got the rhythm point as they wished.

Two goals in the first half allowed them to close the seemingly impossible gap.

45 minutes left!

Two more goals!

Miracle Night is not necessarily impossible.

Since the establishment of the Arsenal team, they have been defined as amateurs in foreign wars, and their performance in European wars has been poor.

But since 2011, their performance in the Champions League has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In today's Arsenal, no one dares to say that they are an easy opponent to beat.

They are even the most troublesome opponents in the Champions League.

Since the group stage, Arsenal's schedule is definitely the most brutal among all teams in the Champions League.

They defeated Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich

They won't go down here, they want to win, so they have to score!

"In the second half, we need to maintain this offensive rhythm."

Lucy was panting a bit, but he was still trying to calm down his breathing.

"Yes, we need to attack, we need to score goals!"

Giroud also shouted loudly.

Giroud's face is also full of expectations. From Dortmund to Arsenal, he came for the Champions League.

Things that once seemed impossible will become possible here.

He has a great team, his teammates are very strong.

For this reason they can complete even more incredible reversals.

"Offense is important, but defense must not be slack!" Hummels reminded: "The defensive point on the right must be guaranteed. We cannot let Messi play out. This is the premise of everything!"

Messi's role in Barcelona is self-evident.

It can be said that as long as Messi plays smoothly, then Barcelona has a high probability of winning the game.

Arsenal must limit Messi's performance like in the first half.

This is the root of everything.

On the basis of restricting Messi, then go to attack.

"Leave Messi to me!"

Le Kai said proactively.

Others also had expected expressions. In Arsenal, including the entire European football world, Lucky is probably the only one who dares to pat his chest and say that he can limit Messi.

And this is where Arsenal's confidence lies when facing Barcelona.

With the existence of Lucky, tactics will become more abundant.

The main players are all expressing their opinions, and the substitutes in the corner are also chatting.

Edegaard looked at Saka, who was sweating profusely, and couldn't help saying: "Dude, let's play in the second half!"

Hearing this, Saka couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

This guy has never felt how tiring it is to keep up with the rhythm of the first team.

Everyone wants to play, but Saka has already tried his best to do it.

"The opponent is very strong!" Saka said with a grin, "But we are stronger!"

This game made Saka have a deeper understanding of the main force.

Different from the usual training games, after fully devoting himself to the game, especially in this kind of strong dialogue, he was shocked by the explosive ability of Arsenal's main players.

Every pass, every attack and every move.

From the big frame to the small details, Arsenal dealt with it too cleverly.

Sometimes, Saka couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and Robertson was forced to step forward to help with the running task.

And Saka can only retreat to make up for it.

But even so, this game had a great impact on Saka.

He learned a lot.

This kind of learning is different from daily life, it is profound and clear.

It was as if it was directly imprinted in his head, making it impossible for him to forget.

As for performance, he wants performance too!

Saka clenched his fists.

In the second half, it can't be like this!

At the same time, the atmosphere in Barcelona's locker room on the other side is quite depressed.

The entire locker room is filled with the voice of head coach Valverde.

The other Barcelona players are extremely quiet, they don't speak, and there is a subtle breath in the atmosphere.

After the first half ended, many people's minds were aroused.

Why did you concede two balls?

Why can't you score a goal?

Why did they play so poorly?

They thought about this in their hearts, but they didn't say it out loud. For this reason, an atmosphere of distrust began to flow among the team members.

Messi saw all this in his eyes, and he thought about what the previous captains did.

Puyol, Harvey.

Messi looked at Iniesta, who didn't respond.

Messi wanted to say something, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Finally remained silent.

And until the end of the intermission, Barcelona failed to adjust this atmosphere.

In the middle, Valverde proposed to let the players share their inner thoughts, but no one liked him.

Valverde's majesty in the locker room is far inferior to the previous two head coaches.

The situation seems to be getting worse.

Valverde was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

He can't pry the players' mouths open, let them talk.

The intermission ended, and the players walked out of the locker room silently.

As soon as they came out, they heard roars suddenly emerging from the corridor.

"Go!! Arsenal!!"

This roar is heart-palpiating.

It seems that there are infinite abilities contained in it, their morale is surging, and they go forward bravely!

"After the intermission, players from both sides will enter the field, ready to change sides and fight!"

"Neither side has made any substitution adjustments, which means that the game will continue the rhythm of the first half. Of course, we need to watch the subtle adjustments from the scene."

Andy Gray said.

As a Sky Sports commentator, he naturally supports Arsenal, so he hopes that Barcelona will not adjust and continue to maintain the rhythm of the first half. Arsenal scored two goals in a row, and then won the game.

But this is impossible!

Although there is no personnel adjustment, some tactical details need to be optimized after all.

For example, how to play the role of Messi!

This is also a top priority for Barcelona.

If Messi didn't play, Barcelona's offense would not be able to play.

Iniesta is also an extremely powerful breakthrough point, but he is no longer able to complete the dribble as he did in his peak period.

As for the passing of the two, their passing ability is indeed very sharp, but the problem is that Arsenal does not give them running space.

Even if the ball is passed, the defensive player can immediately post the offensive player, and finally resolve Barcelona's offense.

Compared to the first round, Arsenal's performance in the second round was more targeted.

Lucky retreated to defend Messi, this is a key point.

This adjustment also gave Arsenal a chance to counterattack and score goals.

Now in the second half, what kind of game will the two sides play?

Suarez stands in the middle circle, he is ready to kick off.

The two conceded goals in the first half made their morale extremely low.

Suarez also wants to do something, but facing Arsenal's iron wall, it is difficult for him to do things.

Neither Hummels nor Jimenez is an easy opponent to deal with.

Even without Lucky's entanglement, Suarez still suffered enough.

At the beginning, he transferred to join Barcelona.

A large part of the reason is to strive for higher honor.

Among Barcelona and Real Madrid's Champions League honors in recent years, Suarez feels that his home is in La Liga.

And it was a turbulent period for Arsenal.

He left one season for this, which is enough affection.

But it has been two seasons since I came to Barcelona.

The feeling here for Suarez is not too good.

question!

many problems!

Some of them were problems he didn't even see, but felt.

For two years, he seemed to see a long fuse being ignited, and it was constantly shortening with sparks.

And on the other end of the lead is a huge powder keg.

He didn't know what would happen after the powder keg exploded.

But it must be bad!
