Messi dribbled the ball from the first half and broke through to the penalty area, shooting near the baseline to score a goal. This raw food made the entire Camp Nou stadium boil. This is their home court, Messi is their core, and his players can break through all the way on the court, killing the opponent's defense like entering a nobody's realm is in chaos. This is the happiest thing for any team fans.

Hearing it clearly, Palmeri was also slightly moved when he stood on the side of the court. Palmeri always believed that after playing football, he had seen many outstanding players. He knew many breakthrough experts. Even when facing Robben and other players, he had never had a weak foot, and he was confident that he could block them all. However, today when facing Messi, he found that the opponents he had faced before were much worse than Messi's current breakthrough ability.

It is not terrible for a person to have a first-class ball sense. However, while a person has a first-class ball sense, he also has a top-notch football IQ and knows how to use his own skills to play. This is really terrible. Just now, Messi passed Coentrand by accelerating, threw away Gustavo by stopping the ball, and finally relied on the man to pass the ball and forced his foot in the penalty area. After thinking about this series of movements, Palmer felt that it was a bit too coherent and too outstanding. The opponent's speed was not satisfied at all, but he could easily score a goal at this time. This way of playing football made Palmer feel a little chilled.

Not everyone can try the successor of the King of Football. Usually, he always feels that Di Maria has such skills and is not valued in the national team. If he is in Italy, he will definitely be the core of the offensive. But now he knows that in the attack line, Argentina's ability is really much different than Italy.

However, if it comes to defense...

This reminded him of the confrontation between Maradona and chain defense that the old people talked about. In terms of offensive power, the Italians may be just Argentinians, but when it comes to defense, he is Italian, so he shouldn't have failed.

Maybe you are Maradona, but if you are Maradona, then I am Baresci - if you want to go against the will of my team alone, you have to see if you have this fate!

"Fabio, be a little more serious, he is not able to score a goal. Our defense can still limit him. Don't be so discouraged, let him see your strength." Palmer first went to the sideline and comforted Coentran, who was obviously depressed, and then found Gustavo, "Return to defense a little faster, tighten it, you can follow me, I'll stop losing it anymore. We can stop him."

Coentrand is a child who is not very confident. At this time, he needs some encouragement. As a Brazilian, Gustavo is a little too optimistic and needs to urge him. Although no one has ever said that Palmer is the leader of the backcourt, Palmer is very accustomed to giving orders at this time. He knows the tactical arrangement of Tottenham Hotspur very well that their defense is no worse than others. Messi is very strong, but this cannot make him lose confidence. On the contrary, this will make him work harder and try to block the man named Messi on the other side.

After the 1-1 draw, the players became serious on Tottenham's defense line. Just now, Messi was able to find Coentrane's stop-off mistake and could deceive Gustavo by using fake moves, but with the changes in Tottenham's players, his chances were less and less.

When Messi got the ball again, his breakthrough was not so easy.

In the midfield, Messi took the ball and wanted to launch an attack. He first accelerated directly, threw away Yaya Toure's entanglement, and then rushed up directly in the middle, facing the blockade of his opponent Gustavo and Palmeri who were in front of him.

He controlled the ball under his feet, and did not accelerate immediately, but waited for the opponent's position to move. After seeing almost the same time, he suddenly moved forward, then suddenly moved the ball, turned his body, and turned to his left. This sudden turn made Gustavo, who was in front of him and Palmeri, who was on the side, want to intercept him, and the two of them collided on themselves.

However, this time, Palmer did not hesitate any more. After colliding with Gustavo, he did not chase Messi again, but immediately ran backward and relied on Thiago Silva and Pisczek behind him to establish a defense in the backcourt. This time, there were not many contact points around Messi, so he took a step forward and chose to grab it.

Messi threw him over with a simple change of direction. It is always easy for a player with strong ball ability to get rid of his opponent. However, although Palmer immediately robbed him after chasing him back, making him become cannon fodder, Gustavo took advantage of this time to catch up and block Messi to defend.

At the front of Messi, Pisczek and Thiago Silva also moved closer at the same time, and almost three people joined forces to stop Mesczek's breakthrough. However, even so, Mescine did not completely lose his role. This is Barcelona, ​​not the Argentine national team, and he would not be blocked so easily. He passed the ball directly and kicked the ball behind Pisczek, where Henry had already inserted it quickly.

However, Palmery, who had failed to intercept Messi just now, has already rushed back to the penalty area. Henry got the ball, but Palmery has already caught up. After a simple confrontation between the two, Palmery kicked the ball out of the baseline without hesitation, ending this attack.

"Palmeri did a very beautiful job, assisting in defense, chasing back, and cooperating with the team to establish a tiered defense and intercept Messi... It was the last kick, which was a bit hasty."

The commentator commented on this interception, but when he saw Barcelona's Xavi kicking the ball to Iniesta with a corner kick, he knew that he had said the wrong thing in his heart.

It is not easy to defend against Henry one-on-one. Since the opponent has this kind of corner kick ability to fight against Wushao, maybe the better way to directly kick out of the baseline...

Such a scene did not change much until the end of the first half. Although Barcelona relied on Messi's crazy attempt to make a contribution, Tottenham's defense was barely maintained and there was no problem.

A good defender is forced out by a good forward ability. Baresi is lucky. He met Maradona, and Palmeri met Messi, so he could also force out all his abilities.

Tottenham's defense line was already very complete when it was against Bayern, and now, their spirit has begun to mature.

This made it impossible for many things to be played in the last ten minutes of the first half. Barcelona's strong attack was fruitless, while Tottenham Hotspur was a little afraid to attack because of Messi's deterrence.

"Palmeri's outstanding strength allowed Tottenham to maintain its defense." When the whistle sounded in the first half, the commentator also sighed slightly, "In the first half, we saw the changes in the coaches' ideas of both sides. Guardiola wanted to use physical advantages to drag down their opponents, but Spurs broke their defense. After his adjustment, it seemed that Tottenham had not many opportunities to counterattack. Although Tottenham had some targeted arrangements, because Messi's forced breakthrough had a great impact on them, they had no time to make more offensive changes in the last ten minutes of the first half. I just don't know if they will surprise us in the second half."

At this time, in Tottenham's locker room, Li Bin also expressed his attitude to the players.

"We did a good job in the first half - it can be said that it was very good. This was our first time against Barcelona, ​​and we were able to grasp the rhythm of their offense immediately and conceded only one goal, which made me very satisfied." Li Bin did not retain his praise for the players. It is already rare to see Tottenham defending so well, "But we are still a little underdog."

"They have withdrawn." Yaya Toure raised his head, "Our counterattack can no longer be fired."

"So what should we do? We said this change before the game." Li Bin said.

"Rely on muscles, advance layer by layer, combine the edge and middle to spread the attack." Suarez, who answered, said, "I remember it very clearly, it was when playing football..."

"I'm a little lost? I suddenly don't know how to play football?" Li Bin asked back.

Suarez's face was a little red, but he nodded and agreed with Li Bin's statement. Before the game, he always believed that when he met Messi, he could definitely play a better game than Messi. However, after the game started, the ball rights were always on Barcelona. As an offensive player, he had few opportunities. He rarely encountered such games, which made him a little unaware of what to do.

"This is what I'm talking about about Barcelona. They are a strong team, not just in terms of strength, but also psychological. For the first time, when they face a team like Barcelona that makes their opponents unable to get the ball, the confidence of offensive players will inevitably be frustrated. With a player like Messi who cannot compete with him when he breaks through, the defensive players will inevitably be nervous: When we face Barcelona, ​​we have all kinds of emotional fluctuations, which is normal, and nothing strange. This is part of Barcelona's tactics: they control the scene, and if you don't get the chance, you will

Will be anxious." Li Bin explained, "But the key is how long will we lose our minds. If your confidence is completely lost from now on, then I have to consider changing a group of people to play football. If this game cannot be reversed and even affects the game, then we have to consider confronting them next year. But if you can do it, it is just a half-time tension, then this is not a matter of at all: there are 180 minutes of the game, only 45 minutes, what's the big deal?"

"Our backcourt players only took 30 minutes to wake up from the shock given by their opponents. Did you see Orlando's interception? When they became serious, Messi was not unstoppable. By the same token, Barcelona's forward line is not so outstanding, they can be defeated. Do you still remember Stamford Bridge last year? How did Hiddink defeat them? We can do better. Barcelona's tactics are a variant of the Dutch tactics. No matter how far they go, everything inside exists. Hiddink is a Dutch. He is familiar with these, so he can intercept Barcelona. I am not a Dutch, but I also understand these things. As a coach, I think I don't have to do anything wrong with Hiddink. As a player, are you worse than Chelsea?"

That's right - Suarez didn't say it, but in his heart, he said something.

"Go, there is still a half-court. The game has just passed halfway and the winner is still hard to say. The opponent is very strong, I don't deny it, but we are also very strong. This is the battle, tactics, technology, body, physical strength, experience, and psychology at all levels. The strong need not only skills and physical, but also mentally unstoppable!"
