When the frontcourt players launch an attack, the defenders must also keep up. In this way, the offense is a whole and can function very well.

This is a tactic that Barcelona has been insisting on in recent years, and the players will naturally follow suit.

The offense of the two full-backs is also very important in Barcelona's offensive and defensive system. Both Alves and Alba are very qualified in this regard. In the midfield, Busquets has the ball and distributes the ball, as well as blocking positions. Defense is also indispensable.

Overall, Barcelona's tactics are a whole, plus some special and irreplaceable players, to create the previous miracles.

And now, those miracles began to drag them down.

The game progressed to the 5th minute.

Fabregas passed the ball into the penalty area and was cleared by Otamendi. After taking the ball, Casemiro quickly passed it to De Bruyne. De Bruyne turned around and sent a sharp direct pass!

The ball flew straight to the right side of the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Lukaku inserted it at high speed, got rid of Alba's defense while running, and then broke into the penalty area. Facing the attacking Pinto, he shot decisively!

The ball hit the inside of the goal post hard, and then bounced directly to the left side of the penalty area!

Ronaldo, who had been following up, intercepted the ball. Seeing that Alves had returned to the defense, he decisively did not choose to break through, but passed the ball directly into the penalty area!

Lukaku, who was running back after the shot just now, put himself in the offside position, made another forward move, overpowering Batlar, and then pushed the ball into the middle of the small penalty area from the back point!

Suarez, who followed up, left Mascherano behind him while running, and then faced the falling ball, he bent down and rushed to the top!

The ball flew into Barcelona's gate without any suspense!In just 5 minutes of the opening, Southampton scored a goal through a beautiful counterattack and continuous attacks!

After scoring the goal, Suarez began to celebrate wildly, as did all the Southampton players and fans in the stands!

They lead by two goals in the total score!

"The goal is scored! Suarez's ninth goal in the Champions League this season! What a top performance, he has scored forty goals in all competitions this season! This is second only to Ronaldo in the five major leagues! Even more than Messi! How many years has anyone been able to do this? The magic of this Uruguayan this season continues!"

"Now Southampton has a total score of [-] to [-] lead... Next, Barcelona needs to score two goals and not concede a goal in order to drag the game into overtime. This is a bit difficult, given Southampton's defensive ability. And counterattack ability, then Barcelona must win at least one goal in the away game!"

In the chanting of the commentator, Barcelona does not need to listen up and down to know how serious the situation is now, and score two more goals?It's a bit difficult, just look at the opponent's defensive posture.

However, what is more difficult seems to be how not to be counterattacked by the opponent.

Southampton's ability to defend and counterattack demonstrated in these two games is surprising enough.

Barcelona, ​​who were apprehensive in their hearts, began to encounter difficulties in the next attack.

On the contrary, it was Southampton's counterattack and the coordinated attack of a few people, which made the game flourish.

First, De Bruyne's shot from the front of the penalty area was blocked by Bartra with his body.

Then Suarez's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Mascherano with his body.

In the No. 11 minute of the game, Southampton almost expanded their lead. De Bruyne's exquisite direct pass from the midfielder allowed Ronaldo to form a single goal. The Colombian broke into the penalty area and shot decisively. The ball was fought hard by Pinto After touching it, it changed direction slightly, and then hit the beam heavily, popping out the bottom line!

Just a little bit, Southampton extended their lead...

This attack made Southampton very regretful, but it also surprised Barcelona almost at the same time.

It's too scary, almost two goals behind, and the total score is three goals behind, so what's the fun...

This makes Barcelona look a little uneasy in the next attack. Under such circumstances, the attack is of course not a threat.

After Southampton took the ball, they did not launch a violent attack again, but began to waste time by constantly turning their feet, and at the same time attracted Barcelona players to come out and press.

In this way, while the two sides were killing time, more than 20 minutes passed quickly. It was not until this time that Barcelona's offense gradually recovered.

Neymar's forced breakthrough created a perfect chance, he still found a space in Rudiger's defense, passed the ball to the post, and Messi followed up, running away from Luke? Xiao's defense, and then directly shot the ball, but the ball was slightly missed and hit the side net heavily.

"Barcelona's offense is still very sharp, but our defense is not bad." Ji Ya thought in his heart.

The Barcelona fans began to lament that they were unlucky and missed such a good opportunity. However, a counterattack from Southampton soon let them know that their luck was not bad, but quite good...

Southampton's counterattack, after De Bruyne scored the ball, Suarez formed a single shot, but at this time Batral withdrew and stopped in front of Suarez.

Batral didn't dare to rush forward easily. After all, if Suarez swayed past him, he would be finished. However, he didn't push forward, but Suarez suddenly kicked and shot!

The ball whizzed past his head, and Bartra was a little dumbfounded. He turned around and looked at the ball flying past, and then watched the ball fly over Pinto's head, and then hit the crossbar hard...

"Another crossbar! Southampton's luck in this game is indeed not very good. James and Suarez each came with a crossbar! If luck is better, they should both be [-]-[-]..."

Suarez's shot made Barcelona jump up and down again, and their attacking rhythm slowed down again. It was not until the end of the first half that Iniesta shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area. , the ball was easily thrown by Gulacci.

For Gulac, he didn't expect to start this game, and there is actually only one reason for Kiya to use him, and that is that they have to strictly guard against death in this game.

In the environment of defensive tactics, Gulac played better. This is what Ji Ya observed before. In the previous games he played, he performed quite well in the two games against Bayern. On the contrary, he performed mediocre in the league. This is another change of tactics.

Now that it is time to defend and counterattack, it is time to use him to play.

In the first half, Barcelona did not have a lot of attacks, and Gulac did not receive too many tests, but in the second half, he will definitely be tested more.

There is no doubt about that.
