Chapter 215 Superstar’s Ability

During the halftime break, Udinese players returned to the locker room one after another.Everyone had excited smiles on their faces, and they were obviously very satisfied with the result of the first half.

Guidolin's tactics were completely correct and completely disrupted Barcelona's tactical deployment.

After Guidolin led the coaching staff into the locker room, he was the first to mention the problems that occurred in the first half of the team, which were mainly local details. As for Maguire's mistake, Guidolin never mentioned it. , obviously taking care of Ma Datou's feelings.

Later, Guidolin introduced his speculation on Barcelona's tactics in the second half: "Normally, if a team has the upper hand on the court, it will not easily make adjustments in the second half, because changing the style of play can easily lead to I lose control of the game, so I don’t take risks easily.”

"Although the score was 1:1, Barcelona controlled the situation. It was just in the few minutes near the end of the first half that they had some problems and were scored by our counterattack. So I guess, Enrique No adjustments will be made, especially substitutions."

"It is impossible to predict how they will adjust the small details, but we must do two things ourselves."

"First, we must press faster and more fiercely to put pressure on Barcelona's centre-backs. Neither Mascherano nor Pique felt much pressure in the first half. We must do this in the second half. It’s been strengthened.”

"Second, we must be faster when counterattacking, but at the same time we must ensure that our entire offensive and defensive system is compact and not disconnected. The latter is the premise and the basis for us not to concede goals again. We must do it well. At the end of the first half That goal at that moment was precisely because of our speed.”

After saying this, Guidolin basically finished explaining what he wanted to explain.

………………

Finally, he warned the players with a serious face: "Everyone, although the midfield score of 1:1 does have reason to make us satisfied, we must not take it lightly. You must know that this is Camp Nou, the home stadium of Barcelona." . You have to know that tonight you are facing the strongest team in the Champions League. Whether it is a draw or a one-goal lead, it is not enough to ensure that we advance, so we must concentrate all our energy and focus on playing. Good every minute of the game.”

Di Natale stood up immediately and nodded heavily.

The other players also stood up, nodded, or responded.

The game restarts in the second half.

Barcelona's tactics were exactly as Guidolin expected, without much change. There were no adjustments to the personnel, and the tactics basically continued the performance of the first half.

But Udinese was obviously different from the first half.

If Udinese's tactics in the first half were to stabilize the defense and familiarize themselves with Barcelona's game rhythm, then Udinese's tactics in the second half were to adapt to the opponent, spot the opportunity, rush forward, and bite the opponent's Throat!

………………

At the beginning of the second half, Udinese began to press step by step.

Only 30 seconds into the game, Alves fouled Di Natale and gave Udinese a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Bruno directly chose to hit the goal, but Ter Stegen saved it and resolved a crisis.

But Udinese's pressing continued, and the game quickly entered Udinese's rhythm.

Barcelona's offense was contained and it was difficult to open up the situation.

The wings of Neymar and Messi were restrained by Piris and Cancelo in the first half, which was equivalent to breaking two arms of Barcelona, ​​and the attack in the center was blocked by Bruno and Kante.

As for the two full-backs, Alves is responsible for helping to defend Bruno, while Alba is restrained by Salah.

It can be said that Barcelona's entire offense was contained by Udinese.

It couldn't open up the situation in the first half, and it was even worse in the second half.

Enrique is obviously also having a headache because the team's offense has been unable to open up the situation.

Throughout the second half, he was pacing back and forth in the coaching area, giving the impression of being very nervous and anxious.

Ten minutes later, he finally couldn't wait any longer and took the lead and made the first substitution of the game, with Xavi replacing Rakitic.

As a result, Barcelona's three midfielders become Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.

Bruno had a feeling on the court that the ball was still at Barcelona's feet, but the game was controlled by Udinese.

The reason why the pass-and-control play can cause the opponent to collapse is that it must create a threat.

If there is no ball possession, but there is no way to create a threat, excessive possession of the ball will be very dangerous, which will change the mentality of the side in possession of the ball.

………………

Since the start of the second half, the two sides played very stalemate, neither of them could create chances, but the atmosphere of the game became more and more oppressive.

Bruno knows that this is a test for both sides. Whoever can't bear it or makes a mistake first will lose!

Udinese still unswervingly implemented the coach's tactics because it worked.

In the 65th minute, Barcelona made its second substitution adjustment of the game.

Bruno was on the court and saw the fourth official on the sidelines calling the substitution sign. He didn't even need to see who was replacing whom. He concluded that Barcelona was already anxious and Enrique was in complete chaos.

In this anxious situation of the game, substitutions have only one purpose, which is to change the situation of the game.

<divclass="contentadv"> Similar to Enrique's two consecutive substitutions, the opponent did not respond even once. Everyone can see that Udinese is in trouble both tactically and psychologically. , all have the advantage.

And here, Bruno's goal at the last moment of the first half is the key. Without that goal, Barcelona would not be in a hurry at all.

Enrique replaced Iniesta with teenager Rafinha.

Raphinha is a talented left-footed player who was born in the La Masia youth training camp and is the younger brother of current Bayern midfielder Thiago.In Barcelona, ​​Rafinha is regarded as Xavi's successor, able to participate in the team's offense from the midfield position, and able to control the rhythm of his own offensive and defensive transitions.

Facing Barcelona, ​​which continued to strengthen its offensive power, Guidolin also had to make adjustments. Guillerme and Vidmon were forced to stay back to better protect the defense.

Udinese still has no substitutions!

………………

Just when Udinese was playing harder and harder, Barcelona's sophisticated machine was running less and less smoothly, and the situation was quietly tilting towards Udinese, Messi stood up again.

This is when Barcelona midfield star Xavi took the ball and attracted the attention of at least two Udinese defenders. He was about to shoot from a long distance, but he suddenly passed the ball.

Then, people watched Messi emerge from the gap in the crowd. He stopped the ball with his chest, and then rushed into the penalty area. They saw him moving around in the small penalty area, giving full play to his excellent foot skills and firmly holding the football. Controlling the ball at his feet, he passed Maguire who was trying to intercept.

The tall Maguire's movements were as slow as a slow-motion replay in front of the dexterous Messi. Messi easily shook him by. Maguire, who fell to the ground, could only watch Messi in despair. And go.

"Messi! He passed Maguire and the ball was still at his feet!"

Danilo looked at Messi, he didn't dare to take a shot, he was afraid of fouling.

However, Cancelo ignored it and made a lateral tackle.

However, he still cleared it.

Messi made the first move before Cancelo tackled the ball, and he stabbed directly!

After completing the shot, Messi himself jumped up and avoided Cancelo's tackle.

The football rolled against the turf towards the goal. Kanizis fell to the ground and was unable to save it. He could only watch the football roll into the net.

………………

2:1, Barcelona takes the lead again!

This is Messi’s second goal in this game and his 10th goal in the Champions League this season. It is also the 77th Champions League goal in his career, breaking the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo yesterday. The historical scoring record of 76 goals in the Champions League!

Camp Nou went completely crazy!

"Messi - GOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!" Barcelona's commentator shouted in a long tone.

At the same time, in Barcelona's bars, squares, and everywhere where they could watch the game, Barcelona fans chanted the name of the goal hero at the same time.

Seeing Messi score, Enrique clenched his fists with both hands and shook his fist vigorously in the direction of Guidolin.

This goal made him let out a fierce sigh of relief.

In this game, in terms of tactics, Enrique was completely restrained by Guidolin. The powerful Barcelona had nearly 70% of the ball possession rate, but it did not pose much threat to Udinese's goal.

Even in the past ten minutes, Enrique felt that the situation was getting worse and worse. He even felt the possibility of losing at home, and he felt panicked.

But at the critical moment, Messi stood up again and saved Barcelona and Enrique with a beautiful goal.

Enrique was very proud: So what if the tactics were successful? I have Messi!

………………

"F**K!" Guidolin couldn't help but curse.

Facing an unreasonable person like Messi, Guidolin has absolutely no choice.

Originally, Cancelo's defense against Messi was very successful in this game, but Messi still scored two goals.

This is the ability of a superstar!

At this moment, Guidolin also felt what other Serie A teams felt when facing Udinese.

Many times, it is obvious that other teams have the advantage in the situation, but Udinese always scores, either Bruno or Di Natale.

The team's captain Di Natale looked at Guidolin, meaning to ask, now it's 1:2, how to play?

Guidolin made a gesture: it was business as usual.

Continue to fight back against Barcelona!

Although one goal behind Barcelona, ​​this was completely expected by Guidolin.
