Correcting your mentality and treating the Spaniards as equal opponents is actually not easy against Barcelona.
Because the Spaniard's style of play is not like that of a strong team.
They don't control the ball, they only destroy it, and they take big shots when they get the ball. This is exactly the same team that is fighting against relegation.
As the fight continued, Barcelona forgot about the ranking of the Spaniards and regarded them as the same fish belly that they had pinned to the ground and rubbed.
Today's Spaniards are no longer Wu Xia Amon. Even if they relax for a moment, they can cause huge damage to their opponents.
Barcelona tightly defended Zhao Yang and Asensio, and suddenly, Spaniard's central midfielder Perez broke out.
This was a helpless choice for the Spaniard in the backcourt. Zhao Yang and Asensio were both being marked, and the defender could only pass the ball to Perez.
Perez couldn't find a suitable passing point when he got the ball, and Barcelona didn't defend him tightly, so he went it alone.
He first pretended to pass the ball past Rakitic, then dribbled the ball forward and dunked past Alves.
When Pique saw the gate on the right wide open, he came to help defend, but Perez made a move and suddenly passed by.
Perez suddenly became the focus of the audience.
Busques also had to move to the right to intercept Perez, who was playing crazy.
Perez is not a fool, he is a midfielder. When he saw that Barcelona was empty in the middle, he immediately hit the ball behind the central defender.
The ball was passed to Caicedo.
Caicedo was just pushing forward.
Caice was overjoyed when he saw the ball coming. He accelerated quickly and shot in front of goalkeeper Bravo.
The ball flew into the net from Bravo's armpit.
Perez was excited and about to celebrate when he suddenly heard a whistle. The referee Gonzalez did not point to the center circle, but pointed to the place where he had just caught the ball.
Perez instantly understood that this was called offside.
Perez shook his head dejectedly. A chance to kill the game turned out to be offside. What a bad luck.
Although the ball was offside, the Barcelona people were frightened and woke up instantly.
This is really not the original Spaniard!
Never be careless!
After the kick-off in the backcourt, Barcelona did not dare to play casually anymore. Every pass and every breakthrough was very cautious and never gave the Spaniard a chance to easily counterattack.
After continuous passes in the frontcourt, Iniesta found a gap in the Spaniard's defense, and he immediately passed the ball to Suarez who was on the sidelines.
Suarez knocked his heel and passed the ball to Messi who was moving towards the center.
Messi was blocked by two defenders on the left side of the penalty area. After taking a step, he took a direct shot.
Alvarez desperately blocked the ball, and the ball hit him in the face and flew out of the baseline.
Barcelona won a corner kick.
Messi takes a corner kick.
The ball was passed into the penalty area and Pique rushed to the top. However, Zhao Yang was under Pique and Pique did not jump up. The ball was pushed out of the baseline by Pique.
Ten minutes have passed in the second half and the Spaniards are still leading by one goal. Their current tactics are much more conservative than those in the first half.
For this goal kick, the goalkeeper did not pass it to the backcourt players, but directly kicked it towards the frontcourt.
At this moment, there was only Caicedo in the frontcourt, and it was obviously impossible to expect him to get the ball. The ball fell to Barcelona's feet again.
Barcelona is indeed a world-class team. Although they are behind in the score, they have played much more patiently after treating the Spaniards as a dangerous opponent.
The ball was passed around the Spaniard's penalty area, constantly tearing apart the Spaniard's defense, waiting for the Spaniard's defense to reveal flaws.
If you have the ball in your hands, you may worry about being intercepted by your opponent, but the pressure on the side without the ball is greater.
Without the ball, one must always guard against the opponent's various passes and even sudden shots.
In addition to the high mental pressure, the physical exertion on defensive players is also great.
The opponent who has the ball only needs to pass the ball, but the defensive side has to keep running. If the reaction is a little slower, if the running is a little slower, the offensive side will launch a thunderous attack.
After nearly a dozen passes in a row, Barcelona finally found a flaw in the Spaniard's defense.
Midfielder Rakitic passed the ball, Suarez quickly inserted behind the defender and faced goalkeeper Lopez directly!
Lopez struck when Suarez got behind the defender.
Suarez took the ball, and Lopez flew to attack Suarez's feet.
The distance was too close and Suarez had no shooting angle. He dunked the ball decisively and passed goalkeeper Lopez.
Worried about being jumped by the goalkeeper, Suarez spiked the ball with a little more force. By the time Suarez caught up with the ball, the angle of the shot was already very small.
Suarez was in the penalty area, surrounded by opponents' players. He had no time to adjust. Suarez directly pushed the ball with the arch of his foot from a small angle.
Goalkeeper Lopez has fallen to the ground and has not yet gotten up.
No one can stop Suarez from scoring!
Except for the goalposts.
The angle was too small and Suarez couldn't control it. It can only be said that it was bad luck to hit the goalpost.
The Barcelona fans in the stands were more anxious than the players on the field.
They have been looking forward to it, waiting for Barcelona to equalize the score.
Suarez passed the goalkeeper, and they thought they would definitely score, but they didn't expect the goalpost to ruin Barcelona's good fortune.
The scene was full of sighs, and some people even cursed the goalpost, saying that the goalpost was eaten inside and out.
The goal post was offside. Although no goal was scored, Barcelona's confidence was getting stronger and stronger. They felt that they were closer to scoring.
The ball popped out and was grabbed by Barcelona full-back Alba.
Alba saw that there was no one in the penalty area, so he wanted to dribble the ball towards the baseline.
Spanish full-back Rocco made a flying tackle towards Alba.
Alba eagerly wanted to jump up, but he was still a step too slow. The ball was shoveled away and he was knocked to the ground.
Alba rolled on the ground holding his legs, as if his legs had been broken.
The referee Gonzalez arrived, asked the linesman for his opinion, and showed Rocco a yellow card.
Barcelona wins a free kick from the wing.
Just when everything on the field was in chaos, Neymar walked up to the ball, suddenly took a quick free kick, and directly found Alves on the other side.
Alves showed his superb personal skills. He kept the ball and fired straight volleys.
The ball went straight to the near corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Lopez was so frightened that he flew over and saved the ball with both hands.
This was definitely an excellent opportunity to score. Barcelona fans were waiting to celebrate. Unexpectedly, the Spanish goalkeeper performed so bravely and actually saved the ball again.
Although they successfully prevented another Barcelona shot, the Spaniards were not happy at all. Barcelona's continuous shots put too much pressure on them.
In the commentary box, He Wei couldn't help but shake his head, "If we can't continue playing like this, Barcelona will definitely score!"
Fang Jiandao: "I feel that the next goal is getting closer and closer."
