At halftime, back in the locker room, all Bayern players seemed extremely excited.
Three to zero, Bayern temporarily took the lead in the first half with Su Dong's hat trick.
This is already an extremely good score. It can even be said that Bayern has basically won this game.
But this does not mean that Bayern can be careless, because there is still the second half and the second leg.
In a competition of this level in the Champions League knockout rounds, even the slightest carelessness will lead to very serious consequences.
When Heynckes opened the door and walked into the locker room, his legs were filled with wind.
The old German man was smiling all around. He probably didn't expect that the game would go so smoothly, so much so that he couldn't believe the result. He had been secretly having fun outside for a long time, and then he calmed down and walked closer.
"First half... everyone did a good job!" Old Man Hai finally couldn't help himself and praised everyone with a smile, but his admiring eyes always fell on Su Dong.
He really didn't expect that Su Dong would have such a big outburst tonight.
The players in the Bayern locker room were also very excited. They could not believe it when they led 3-0 in the first half. But precisely because of this, they were very satisfied with their own strength and performance, and they became even more excited.
Confidence, everyone's spirit becomes different.
Heynckes analyzed and adjusted some situations that occurred in the first half, mainly during the period when Barcelona was in possession of the ball. Bayern sometimes involuntarily retreated too deep, which was contrary to Heynckes' pre-match plan.
He asked the players to put enough pressure on the opponent when Barcelona has the ball.
For a team like Barcelona, it will be easier for them to create a threat if they don't put some pressure on the ball.
To put it simply, shrinking defense will not work for Barcelona.
Treat others in their own way, this is the advice given by Su Dong.
Use Barcelona-style pressure to deal with Barcelona.
What to do after grabbing the ball?
This is another point that Bayern didn't do well enough.
Heynckes believed that the team did not do a good enough job in transitioning from defense to offense in the first half.
"I took a look and every time we successfully intercepted the ball, Barcelona would try to initiate a counterattack. At this time, there were often problems with our handling. The best way should be to transfer the ball out through quick passes.
Instigate a counterattack as soon as possible."
In the first half, some of Bayern's handling was not reasonable enough. They either took too big shots blindly or were too sticky to the ball, missing the best opportunity to counterattack.
Heynckes believes that the purpose of Barcelona's on-the-spot counterattack is to slow down Bayern's counterattack and create more time for the midfield and backcourt to position themselves. What Bayern has to do is to catch up before Barcelona falls behind in the midfield and backcourt.
Organize a threatening offensive as soon as possible.
"Everyone, through the first half of the game, I believe that each of us has a very clear understanding of the game. What we need to do in the second half is to make up for the shortcomings and mistakes in the first half."
"I firmly believe that as long as we continue to maintain this fighting spirit and game momentum, we will leave the Nou Camp with a victory and our heads held high. This will be worth mentioning in the history of Bayern and even the history of the Champions League.
A classic match!”
In the locker room, when every player heard Heynckes' words, they felt as if they had been pumped and were extremely excited.
Defeating Barcelona, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, and even further reaching the Champions League final, Bayern will regain its glory at the beginning of the century!

After the start of the second half, neither Barcelona nor Bayern made any substitutions.
Rijkaard did not even make changes to the team's techniques and tactics, but allowed the team to continue the passing and ball-control style of the first half.
Bayern also continued to adopt the defensive counterattack strategy in the first half, but focused on strengthening the pressure on Barcelona in the midfield and frontcourt.
Franck Ribery and Robben retreated very deep tonight. They were more in the midfield to protect the wings. The offense relied more on quick penetration during counterattacks, and they also contributed a lot in defense. The two players also
They all worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by the head coach.
It can be said that the entire Bayern team is working together to organize the defense.
From Su Dong in the front to Kahn in the back, eleven players formed a rope.
This allowed Bayern to have only more than 20% possession of the ball in the first ten minutes or so of the second half, but its defense was very well organized and gave Barcelona no chance to threaten.
Working as a whole and as a team has always been the advantage of Bundesliga teams.
Barcelona began to become impatient.
In the 56th minute, Henry got the ball on the left and tried to dribble the ball diagonally into the penalty area to create a threat. Although he got rid of Ram, Lucio was stuck in the position and intercepted Henry's pass first.
Henry and Bojan counterattacked on the spot, but Lucio quickly passed the ball to Mascherano, who knocked back to Ram who was in the open space.
After Bayern's right back stopped the ball, Henry got close immediately, but Lahm avoided Henry's first press and quickly passed the ball to Modric who was retreating.
As soon as the Croatian midfielder stopped the ball, Iniesta, Yaya Toure who was catching up, and Henry who was returning to defend, formed a small triangle defensive area, which contained Modric and the returner who had the ball.
Robben withdraws the response.
Modric had no outlet for the ball, so he dribbled the ball through Iniesta and Henry and passed it back to Lahm in his own half.
This looks like a pass back to the organization after a failed push.
But at this moment, Ram stopped the ball, glanced ahead, and directly passed the ball long.
Lahm's long pass went very far and fell directly into the 30-meter zone in Barcelona's half.
Everyone didn't understand, thinking Ram was Bigfoot coming to the rescue, but unexpectedly, a red lightning bolt rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.
At first, Abidal pulled Su Dong desperately, forcing Su Dong to be unable to get up quickly, but soon, Su Dong broke away from Abidal's entanglement, caught up with him as quickly as possible, and got ahead of Milito.
Passed the ball into the penalty area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Milito and Puyol also chased back very quickly. The Argentine central defender did not grab the first point, but he returned to the penalty area in time.
When Su Dong chased into the penalty area and caught up with the ball, Milito was already blocking his side and front, and Valdes also blocked other shooting angles, which frustrated Su Dong's desire to take a direct kick.
But Su Dongyi was brave and quick to act quickly. After catching up with the ball, he did not take off his foot directly. Instead, he took the lead and hooked the football with the instep of his right foot, hooking it completely to his left side.
As Su Dong expected, the ball was hooked back to the left, and he moved his left foot laterally, just past Milito who was blocked.
Puyol also chased back all the way. He reacted quickly and stopped behind Milito in time.
When Su Dong cut in laterally, he was right behind Milito and took a decisive step to try to intercept the ball.
But Su Dong reacted faster. He caught up and used his left foot again, causing Puyol's steal to miss the ball.
After stepping out of the space, Su Dong directly kicked out his left foot without much hesitation.
A curve ball shot from Su Dong's left foot.
At this time, Harvey, who had been returning to defense, caught up behind Su Dong. Unable to stop his momentum, Harvey bumped into Su Dong.
But the ball flew out at extremely fast speed and hit the lower left corner of the goal.
The moment the referee blew the whistle that the goal was valid, the Camp Nou, which accommodated 100,000 fans, became silent.
Everyone could clearly hear Su Dong's hearty roar, and then saw Su Dong rushing out of the court and running wildly. He raised his right hand high above his head and showed four fingers.
“Big Four!!!!!”
"Tonight is simply Su Dong's personal performance!"
"Let's look at the attack just now. After Bayern intercepted the ball, they successfully moved the ball to a safe place with a series of passes. At this time, Barcelona's entire formation was a little too high, which left behind
With a big gap, Su Dong's speed has room to show off."
"Abidal couldn't hold back the sprinting Sudong. Milito's defensive speed was very fast, but Sudong's hook and inward cut during this high-speed movement were also handled very brilliantly. The details are very important.
The difficulty and the subsequent series of processing are also breathtaking."
"It can be said that this goal is not only the result of the Bayern team's battle, but also the effectiveness of Heynckes' targeted tactics, and it is also the embodiment of Su Dong's personal ability!"
"Four to zero! Bayern played an incredible massacre at Camp Nou!"
"Rijkaard must now come up with more effective methods, and it is best to score goals. Otherwise, not only tonight's game, but also the second round, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win. Bayern will
In the first round, we got a ticket to the Champions League semi-finals in advance.”

After conceding another goal, Barcelona finally couldn't help but make substitutions.
Mexican player Marcos replaces Yaya Toure.
This is actually a very helpless choice, because Yaya Toure's advantages and disadvantages are too obvious.
The advantage is that he can provide the hardness that Barcelona's midfielder lacks, and his defense is also good, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, his foot skills are good, but he is too sticky to the ball and has a poor sense of position.
The most typical example is that he failed to return to his position during the first two goals.
Replacing Yaya Toure with Marcos actually wanted to maintain Barcelona's previous passing and ball control system.
Bayern played more clearly and confidently.
Even with a four-goal lead, the players still didn't understand that the team's tactics were very correct, almost targeting Barcelona's Achilles' heel, which left Barcelona almost helpless.
In the minds of many players, this game is like the first El Clasico played by Sudong. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in a way that left their opponents helpless.
It's just that now, Bayern is using the same method to deal with Barcelona.
In that game, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5-0, but what about tonight?
Will Bayern score a fifth goal?
Just when many people at the scene had such doubts in their minds, something happened again on the court.
When Ribery dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area, he was fouled by Marcos on the left side of the penalty area, giving Bayern a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Su Dong stepped forward again and expressed his intention to take the penalty.
