Seven Crowns

Other teams waited for Inter Milan to attack and defended passively, but Barcelona actively defended with the ball.

With the ball not at Lu Wenbin's feet, Lu Wenbin naturally couldn't break through, nor could he create free kick opportunities.

Even if the ball is intercepted by Inter Milan occasionally, the whole team of Barcelona will actively fight back. Often the ball is intercepted by Barcelona before it reaches Lu Wenbin's feet.

The Tiki-Taka played by Barcelona not only has high requirements for ball possession, but also has high requirements for full-court pressing.

Obviously, Barcelona's idea is to use the ball defense to drag a 0-0 draw home in the away game, and return to the Nou Camp in the second round to decide the outcome.

This point, Mourinho has seen it.

After returning to the Nou Camp, the home state has been improved. Barcelona has always been favored by UEFA. The referees are more biased towards Barcelona. Coupled with the superb acting skills of the La Masia Film and Television Academy, Mourinho really has not been able to play in the Nou Camp. Confidence in winning Barcelona.

Half an hour later, Barcelona's ball possession rate is still as high as 75%, but they are basically passed from the midfield to the backcourt, and rarely hit the frontcourt.

Sometimes when the two defenders passed back and forth, not only the fans booed everywhere, but even many commentators who used to think that Barcelona was playing technical football couldn't stand it anymore, and there were constant criticisms.

However, the Barcelona players on the field will not be affected by boos. As for the commentator's criticism, they couldn't even hear it, let alone ignore it.

Barcelona has a high possession rate, but it is not easy to move forward.

Inter Milan played defensively and counterattacked, with a low ball possession rate, unable to get the ball, and naturally had very few offensive opportunities.

Half an hour passed in the first half, and the combined shots of the two teams were only 3 times.

Barcelona had two shots, one of which Messi missed on target and was saved by Cesar.

Inter Milan only had one shot in 30 minutes. It was a long-range shot by Eto'o from outside the penalty area and hit the plane.

With football being controlled by Barcelona most of the time, Lu Wenbin's few touches of the ball within half an hour were ordinary passes and receptions, not even a single shot.

The situation is more serious for Inter Milan.

Inter Milan played a defensive counterattack,

In the frontcourt, two forwards, Lu Wenbin and Eto'o, usually counterattack.

But facing Barcelona, ​​whose ball-handling skills have reached its peak, Lu Wenbin and Eto'o's counter-robbery can only become harassment.

And the teammates in the midfield did not dare to easily press to help Lu Wenbin and Eto'o.

Because Barcelona's midfield masters Xavi, Iniesta and breakthrough king Messi are waiting for Inter Milan's defense to show their flaws!

Once the defense line presses forward and there is a flaw in the backcourt, Barcelona will speed up the passing rhythm and suddenly hit the frontcourt.

With Harvey, Iniesta's passing skills, and Messi's breakthrough ability, any team facing Barcelona will be fatal.

This caused Mourinho to see Guardiola's plan, but he never dared to let the team's defense act rashly.

A draw is still an acceptable result, but if the defense line is rushed to help steal in advance and reveal flaws, it may create an offensive opportunity for Barcelona.

Amidst the boos of the Inter fans, Barcelona firmly held the ball until the end of the first half.

It was only in the 39th minute that Lu Wenbin ushered in his first shot from outside the penalty area, but Pique who rushed over from the side blocked the hole of the gun, and the ball was blocked out of the baseline.

This is the situation in which Lu Wenbin has only one shot in the first half 45 minutes since he participated in professional competitions.

At half-time, pro-Barcelona commentators took this as a colossal success for Guardiola and Barcelona's tactics.

Inter Milan and the neutral commentator called Barcelona's backcourt an ugly football, which ran counter to Barcelona's technical football label.

In the locker room, after Mourinho considered for a long time, the gambling factor in his heart prevailed.

Therefore, Mourinho asked the whole team to press forward in the second half, strengthen the press, and strive to steal the ball in the frontcourt and fight back on the spot.

All the players, including Lu Wenbin, were jubilant.

In fact, everyone played very aggrieved in the first half.

Barcelona's possession defense, or the backcourt defense, made everyone feel quite aggrieved.

Now the head coach has finally let everyone press forward to grab the ball as a whole, instead of watching the opponent fall from the backcourt, it is very exciting.

Lu Wenbin and Eto'o naturally raised their hands in support.

They don't understand tactical issues, but in the first half, the two were very annoyed by Barcelona's backcourt players.

The laughter of the Barcelona fans in the stands also annoyed the two.

Now, the head coach has finally asked the whole team to press forward to support them. In the second half, Inter Milan will definitely have more opportunities to steal the ball and counterattack. This is beneficial to Lu Wenbin and Eto'o.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides to fight again. Inter Milan arranged the overall formation to press forward according to Mourinho's tactics, and also began to press the audience.

The game suddenly became fierce, and the neutral commentator and the audience were immediately refreshed: this finally looked like a normal game.

The Inter Milan fans in the stands also got excited and cheered loudly for Lu Wenbin and others.

Inter Milan's whole team pressed forward, and it really made Barcelona tense up, and they no longer dared to play monkeys in the backcourt.

Because not only Lu Wenbin and Eto'o, but also Sneijder, Stankovic, Biabiani and others pressed up to grab the ball, Puyol, Pique and others could no longer play comfortably in the backcourt Fallen.

Of course, Barcelona's ability to pass and control the ball to the point where it is now cannot be easily broken by the opponent's full-court press.

Inter Milan's forward press and full-court press forced Barcelona to speed up passing and receiving the ball and increased their chances of making mistakes, but Inter Milan's own defense must have exposed flaws.

Xavi, Iniesta's passing and Messi's breakthrough and shooting are not in vain.

Therefore, in the 68th minute, Inter Milan's full-court counterattack had not yet achieved results. Instead, Barcelona used Inter Milan's formation to press forward and hit an efficient counterattack.

Xavi evaded Zanetti's interception with a straight kick, hit behind Lucio and Samuel, and penetrated the entire defense of Inter Milan.

Messi turned offside and received Xavi's through ball behind Lucio.

Although Lucio chased back with all his strength and even reached out to grab Messi, Messi still completed the shot at the top of the arc in the penalty area before he was pulled down by Lucio.

The ball flew past Cesar's right and into the goal.

Messi scored ahead of Lu Wenbin, and Barcelona not only took an away 1-0 lead, but also scored an away goal.

Inter Milan was pushed to the brink.
