Soccer Super Marksman

The situation at the Stade de France has changed dramatically, and Manchester United, which is leading the score, has to play more with less, and the goalkeeper has been replaced by the second goalkeeper who cannot be trusted by everyone.

Barcelona fans surged with boundless confidence in the stands.

11 against 10, you can win!
Barcelona takes a direct free kick slightly outside the penalty area.

In order to let the shot go around the wall that is a little close, Messi exerted too much force. The football went around the wall, but there was no room for it to fall, and the football was kicked above the crossbar.

Next, Manchester United frequently encountered Barcelona's crazy offensive.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Messi made a direct pass to Suarez from the frontcourt. Suarez, who was holding the ball behind his back, swung his right foot horizontally. But it made his shooting angle smaller and he couldn't finish the shot with his dominant foot.

However, the quality of the volley that Messi forcibly completed with his left foot was extremely high, and he went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Romero made a save to block the ball. It can be seen that he was still a little nervous when he was ordered to be in danger, and he could not fully hug Football is also not firm enough to block.

After the football was refracted, it hit the goal post and bounced back into the penalty area. The defender Bai, who ran back, kicked the ball directly out of the baseline.

Barcelona took a corner kick and was cleared by defender Bailey with a header. Cui Zhen, who unloaded the ball with his chest in front of the penalty area, realized that he was surrounded by Barcelona players in all directions.

Lukaku just happened to receive his clearance in midfield, and then single-handedly charged into Barcelona's half.

Although passing defender Pique, Lukaku came to the front of the penalty area.He found that there was no one around him to support him, so he dared not attack the opponent's defense line. He chose a long shot from [-] yards from the goal.

This long-range shot was a bit outrageous, and the anti-aircraft gun was fired directly.

It can be seen that after the drastic changes in the situation of Manchester United, the psychological state of the whole team has had a negative impact, which will affect their performance on the field.

Fortunately, the first half is coming to an end, and there will be an adjustment period for them.

In the first half of the game, Rakitic's long-range shot in midfield was changed by Herrera with a sliding tackle, destroying the sideline and reaching the end.

Players from both teams walked into the locker room as if they were preoccupied.

What Barcelona has to think about is how to score goals, while Manchester United needs to worry about more things.

Is it safe to lead by a ball?
Not to mention one less person, even if the number is balanced.That's not safe.

But how to limit Barcelona's offense, plus how to be efficient in offense, is something they must think about carefully.

In the locker room, De Gea, who was sent off, looked at everyone helplessly, and then sat in the corner silently.Mata, who was substituted, seemed to be in a state of grief, closing himself like an abandoned orphan.

Teammates have no time to sympathize or comfort them.

Mourinho also seized the time to speak to the whole team, let everyone cheer up, stabilize their minds, and don't panic.At the same time, they began to formulate offensive and defensive strategies for the second half, and the players listened carefully to Mourinho's adjustments.

In fact, the defensive strategy is very simple, 7 people defend.Lingard retreated to strengthen the defense of the midfield, and then the offense relied on Cui Zhen and Lukaku.

Pogba is playing cards in the midfield, and Cui Zhen and Lukaku can switch responsibilities at any time.

Before the start of the second half, Lukaku, as the captain, encouraged everyone to cheer for the second half and work hard until the last minute!

Regardless of success or failure, we must do our best!In the second half, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

The cheers of the Manchester United fans in the stands were already a little pathetic. Originally, they could have supported the team a little more easily, because although Barcelona had the upper hand on the scene, Manchester United's offensive was more efficient.

It's different now. Manchester United has one less player, and how long can they resist Barcelona, ​​who is swallowing thousands of miles away?
"The second half of the game is about to start. Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde first made an active substitution. Iniesta came on and replaced the midfielder Roberto. This is a signal to strengthen the attack."

Enter Iniesta, exit Roberto.

Based on the fact that Manchester United played one less player, Barcelona made a fairly satisfactory substitution adjustment.

However, Manchester United has stabilized their emotions through the intermission and is mentally prepared to deal with such a situation.

In the second half, Barcelona's offensive will inevitably become more violent!The reason why a strong team is a strong team must have a stronger comprehensive psychological quality.

Barcelona did not rashly launch indiscriminate bombing in the second half. In fact, everyone knows how threatening the offensive pressure on the scene is. In fact, everyone knows it well.

They are actively shaping the situation with their numerical advantage, and then patiently create opportunities, as if ignoring the score behind, firmly believing that they can reverse Manchester United in the remaining time, even if they cannot reverse within 90 minutes, as long as they tie the score , the further the game goes, even if it enters overtime, Barcelona will be the more dominant side, unless it is dragged to a penalty shootout.

Mourinho made a mistake in his technical and tactical adjustments during the halftime break.The midfielder wants to rely on Lingard, Pogba and Herrera to form a defensive line to contain Barcelona's offensive. This idea may still be realized in the first half.

However, after the appearance of the offensive player Iniesta in the second half, Manchester United obviously had an irresistible posture in the midfield.

Iniesta's flexible ball control skills are strong at the feet, especially he is also a rare team player who understands the essence of La Masia's team philosophy.

In the 51st minute of the game, Inesta changed positions with Messi in the frontcourt and rushed into Pogba's defense zone. In the offensive and defensive duel between the two players on the field, Pogba was at a disadvantage in defense. After all, Ines Tower is more mature than him, even if Iniesta is far from reaching his peak.

Pogba was confused by Iniesta's fake pass and lost his defensive position. Iniesta charged from the front. Fortunately, Cui Zhen came out from behind and destroyed the football at Iniesta's feet. , it did not cause a catastrophe.

The chain reaction of Mourinho's misadjustment in the midfield is that after Pogba is under more pressure, then there must be players to fill his defense. and fight back.

Now Cui Zhen was also dragged in the backcourt. Although he took the initiative to participate in the defense, it was the conclusion he drew from reading the game that prompted him to do so.

Otherwise, Manchester United's defense is in jeopardy!

Cui Zhen frequently fills up in the midfield and assists in the defense. Naturally, when there is a chance to counterattack, he can't, and he dare not rashly rush to the front line to attack.

It must be considered that if the offense fails, he will not be able to fill in to help defend, then Manchester United's defense will be defeated by Barcelona at any time!
In the 58th minute of the game, Barcelona frequently shifted their offense in the frontcourt. In a series of dazzling fast passes, Iniesta and midfielder Rakitic attracted the attention of Lingard and Herrera on the front waistline force.Successfully created enough space for Messi, who was active in the middle, Messi broke through from Pogba in an almost unreasonable way!
Then he faced Manchester United's double defenders. After dodging defender Bailey's attack, Messi wanted to send Paco a through ball, but he was keenly aware that Valencia's inside line blocked his passing line. .

So Messi pushed the ball to the goal covertly in front of defender Bayi.

Goalkeeper Romero was not prepared enough, or his consciousness was completely out of rhythm with Messi. When Messi shot, he saw the football roll from defender Bayi into the penalty area, and then began to move towards the lower left corner of the goal, but Obviously late!
In the nick of time, someone blocked the ball with a sliding tackle from the left, and Romero immediately changed his route and rushed forward, holding the ball in his arms!
The person who stood up in the restricted area was Cui Zhen.

He was originally staring at Suarez and Iniesta who had moved to the left, and he was ready to fill in at any time, until Messi pushed the attack to the front of the penalty area and shook the defender Bailey, he immediately ran in front of the goal , The fear is that Messi will break through again or pass through to other teammates. Unexpectedly, by mistake, he will resolve a shot that Messi has a chance to score.

Cui Zhen stood up and walked forward slowly. Mourinho was heartbroken seeing this scene from the sidelines.

wrong!The game shouldn't be like this!

Cui Zhen should be an offensive threat galloping in Barcelona's half, not doing dirty work in the backcourt!But he also knew that after Barcelona stepped up their offense.This happened because Manchester United's original defensive strength was a little overwhelmed.

He walked to the bench with a solemn expression and spoke to the assistant coach.

The assistant coach sprang into action immediately.

Although Manchester United has already made a substitution, that substitution was passive.

Now, take the initiative to make substitutions!

At the same time, Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde saw that there were only about 30 minutes left in the game, and he also had to make a second substitution.

Manchester United and Barcelona made substitutions at the same time!
