"Two goals behind, Barcelona's situation becomes even more difficult!"

"The problem now is how to open up Arsenal's midfield line. Don't think about how to penetrate the ball into the penalty area. Just do it step by step!"

The Spanish commentator's tone became visibly anxious.

You can also feel the urgency from it.

Barcelona was too passive at this time.

Even in the bars throughout Barcelona, ​​the fans watching the game were quiet.

Their expressions showed a hint of confusion and pain.

They are not afraid of falling behind, nor are they afraid of difficulties.

But they are afraid of this completely hopeless competition.

In fact, at this point in the game, they already felt that suffocation.

Arsenal gave them no chance at all.

It seems that Barcelona's offense will be perfectly digested by Arsenal.

At this time, all they could do was sigh over and over again.

"It's time for Valverde to make some adjustments!"

The Spanish commentator turned the blame and put the pressure on the head coach again.

But at this time, Valverde was also confused. He didn't know how to limit Arsenal's tactical system.

Since last season, many teams have been defeated by Arsenal's system.

Until now, no one has been able to complete the restriction.

Ancelotti, Guardiola, Klopp, etc.

The problems that these famous coaches have not been able to solve will become even more difficult for Valverde.

In fact, even if Valverde has sufficient tactical reserves and restraint methods, he may not be able to adjust due to lineup problems.

Yes!

Valverde believes that Barcelona's current lineup is not three-dimensional enough.

At the very least, their strong position is not young, which is a key issue.

Give him Lucky and Kanter, and he can kill all of Europe.

But the problem is, this kind of player is hard to come by!

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

Messi gasped violently, and even while Arsenal was celebrating, Messi squatted on the ground to rest.

Sweat fell down his forehead, soaking his entire clothes.

Before the first half was over, Messi felt extremely tired.

The 32-year-old Messi's physical fitness has already begun to decline, not to mention that in such a difficult game, he has to shoulder a lot of breakthrough and organizational work.

It can be said that Messi is not playing easily at all, and there is even a tendency to carry Barcelona forward, but cannot carry it.

If Messi were five or six years younger, he thought he still had the energy and ability to do such a heroic act.

But it is really difficult for Messi to hold on now.

Messi touched his ankle, where there was a dull pain.

He was originally playing with injuries, but due to pressure from the outside world and the media, he did not dare to rest too much.

Once he rests, the team and coaching staff will be criticized again.

And in such an important game, Messi can't rest.

But in this case, the final result may be more injuries, and the game has not been won.

At this moment, for the first time, Messi had the idea of ​​why he was assigned to Group B and met Arsenal in the group stage.

At this time, the camera just happened to show Messi.

In the camera, Messi looked quite embarrassed, and his face was also confused.

And when the camera turned again and Lucky appeared, Lucky in the shot was in high spirits.

At this moment, the two sides formed a sharp contrast.

At this time, not only some people lamented that this is the capital of young people.

Lucky encouraged his teammates while retreating together.

"The first half is almost over, hold on for the next few minutes!"

Under Lucky's words, Arsenal players responded in unison.

At this time, they had a two-goal advantage, their morale was being crushed unilaterally, and they even felt like they had endless strength.

Under this momentum, Barcelona's situation has become more difficult.

In the next few minutes, Barcelona also gave up the attack.

They need to adjust and plan to conserve some fitness for that.

Of course, the most important thing is that they really can't run anymore.

Barcelona, ​​which is generally older, felt the limitations brought by age for the first time when facing a group of wolf-like Arsenal.

Soon, the first half was over.

Arsenal fans at the scene also greeted their hero with cheers and applause.

Although it was only the first half, with a two-goal lead, they were determined to win the game.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Barcelona will suddenly explode, but this probability is too low.

There was a quarrel in the Barcelona dressing room.

The poor performance in the first half made everyone extremely depressed, and they were constantly venting and complaining about it.

The whole atmosphere is also extremely bad.

In this case, Valverde did not stop it, but stood aside and kept looking at the players.

Valverde's expression is also extremely complicated.

His eyes kept shifting back and forth between Messi and Dembele.

At this time, Valverde wanted to replace Messi and let the youngster Dembe come on.

Throughout the first half, Messi failed to pose a threat to Arsenal's defense, and even became unable to run.

The most critical thing is that their lineup cannot maximize Messi's passing.

The ball-holding point in the midfield cannot bring positive benefits to Messi.

Valverde recognizes Messi's abilities, but the problem is that Barcelona cannot maximize his abilities.

Barcelona now lacks someone who can charge forward.

And this person may be Dembe Lai.

It becomes a question of who can replace Dembe.

Coutinho?

Coutinho performed well in the first half, and the few breakthroughs and threats came from his wing.

Therefore, it cannot be exchanged!

Suarez?

As the only center forward, Suarez restrains Arsenal's defense and cannot be replaced.

In the end only Messi was left.

But this also returns to the most difficult question

Valverde doesn't dare!

Dembe's eyes were fixed on Valverde, and the emotion and expectation in his eyes were ready to come out.

But Valverde could only pretend not to see it.

He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and planned to argue:

"In the second half, our lineup remains unchanged!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many players began to frown.

Their expressions became helplessly ugly.

What was going on in the first half without any substitutions?

But when it came to the question of who to replace, they were silent again.

No one wants to be replaced.

For this reason, not substituting may also be a good choice.

Valverde began to talk about the tactics of the second half, but the players were obviously distracted.

I don’t know what they were thinking, but their emotions were obviously not in place.

Suarez sighed secretly while watching this scene.

He didn't have any solution for this problem.

At this time, Barcelona was in this dilemma.

On the other side, in the Arsenal dressing room, Mourinho did not describe any tactics.

He asked the players to rest as much as possible while adding some details.

Throughout the first half, Mourinho was very satisfied.

This game completely touched Mourinho's heart.

There was no problem with the defense at all, and they even scored two goals on the counterattack.

Arsenal executed his tactics perfectly and gained a huge advantage.

In this case, Mourinho will not take the initiative to change the formation.

Of course, he also asked Saka and Odegaard to warm up.

If the situation permits, he doesn't mind letting these young players further experience this kind of strong dialogue game.

At this time, the morale of the Arsenal players was high.

There was an indelible smile on everyone's face.

After this game, Arsenal can qualify for the knockout rounds in advance and have a high probability of qualifying first in the group.

During the game, the commentators were also analyzing the situation on the field.

Of course, what they talk about most is Barcelona. At this time, everyone is making suggestions for them, even the Sky Sports commentary station.

"The situation in Barcelona is very bad at the moment and they have to make changes."

"The most critical thing is the midfield." Dixon finished speaking and smiled: "But unless Xavi and Iniesta return, and they have to be at their peak form, Barcelona really has no chance! "

"This is the crux of the matter. The midfielder is passive. This situation will radiate to other positions, causing the entire team to fall behind!"

"Arsenal are very good at this style of play, radiating their advantage from the midfield to other positions, and controlling the rhythm of the game."

Paul Merson exhaled and said; "Of course, we can still expect Barcelona to give us some surprises in the second half."
