Because Cesc Fabregas was absent from the game with accumulated yellow cards, Li Huan wore the armband of Arsenal's captain.

When exchanging the team flag and emblem and guessing the goal, Li Huan behaved generously against the boos in the sky, without any timidity, making people think that he seemed to have been the captain for many years.

After the start of the game, the fans who were ready to come to watch the attack battle between the two teams fell into a deep disappointment, because Arsenal had no intention of attacking at all, hoarding heavy troops in the backfield, and clearly wanted to play Barcelona's counterattack.

Pep Guardiola thought that the professor might adopt defensive counter-attacking tactics, but the Gunners' crazy performance at the Emirates Stadium still confused Guagua, and he thought that the professor would not be conservative even if he was conservative, after all, the outside world now regards this game as the pinnacle of world football, the big PK of art football football. It is impossible for a professor not to be blind to his reputation and status in world football.

However, the facts surprised Guardiola, the professor actually put out a 451 formation, only Bendtner in front, Nasri and Walcoat shrank back very much, although it can't be said that this is an iron bucket formation, but the intention to base on defense and then play counterattack can even be seen by pseudo-fans.

No matter what formation the opponent puts in, there is only attack for Barça, they are two goals behind and have no choice.

Arsenal based on the backfield to play defense, Barcelona completely grasped the offensive initiative, and the opening fire burned to Arsenal's half. They want to use their strong penetration in the middle to break down Arsenal's dense defence.

However, Arsenal is also ready today, four defenders stand in position, not easy to lose position, five midfielders run crazy in the half, strengthen the defense of each position, the most depressing thing for Barcelona is that Arsenal's fouls today have increased significantly, especially the fouls on Xavi and Iniesta, so that Barcelona's ball runs very hard, often stop without passing a few kicks, and what makes Barcelona passive is that the German referee Stark's law enforcement is quite careless, and he simply ignores some small actions, This made the Barcelona players who were eager to score goals fall into anxiety.

The game played ten minutes, and the ball basically ran in Arsenal's half, but the sum of the shots on goal between the two sides was only two, and it was still a reckless wave of Barcelona, and Almunia didn't even look like he was making a save.

The Barcelona fans at the scene were very angry about Arsenal's negative game, and every time the Arsenal players took the ball, huge boos came from the stands, but the Arsenal players did not care, the foul was still fouled, and the big foot clearance continued to clear the big foot, and resolutely abandoned the offensive tactics adopted in the previous game.

Seeing Guardiola's depressed face, Wenger's expression was very relaxed, and he was in a good mood, in the first game he had already proved to the world that Arsenal's attacking football was just as great, he didn't need to prove anything in this game, what he needed was the championship, if Fabregas was there, he might not be so conservative so thoroughly, the Spaniard's suspension strengthened the professor's tactical arrangement.

In fact, the main thing is that Professor Wenger learned the lesson of Hoffenheim's consecutive elimination of Arsenal and Barcelona with defensive counterattacks last year, and Wenger believes that Arsenal, which also has Li Huan, can also take advantage of the few scoring opportunities and a large area of space at the back.

Seeing that Arsenal adopted a tactic of dense defense in the half, commentator Stoichkov said: "Barcelona must speed up the passing and receiving of the ball, so as to be able to find the flaws in the opponent's defense, it is better to score in the first half, otherwise Arsenal's defensive confidence will become stronger and stronger." ”

Murto, the on-site commentator, said: "The key problem now is that Barcelona can't play fast, Arsenal's five players in the midfield, Rosicky and Walcott have to defend, which makes Barcelona's attack unable to find space." ”

Stoichkov, known as the thunderbolt, said angrily: "The German referee Stark gave too lenient penalties, he should have played cards earlier, so that the Arsenal players would not foul so unscrupulously." ”

Arsenal's defensive ability cannot be compared with Manchester United and Chelsea, which is why Guardiola does not think that the professor will stick to it, but after the start of the first half, Arsenal took a diligent approach to make up for the shortcomings, strengthened the midfield running, the five midfielders ran desperately, Barcelona's passer Xavi was targeted in turn, Iniesta was fouled crazy, Messi had a rare chance to get the ball in the front court, and had to retreat to get the ball, all of which made up for the lack of Arsenal's defensive ability.

In the back line, because the veteran is not there, Sylvester is only a substitute, and the captain Li Huan has become a well-deserved core of the defense, and the right side of his town is unbreakable, and Pedro, who is relatively mediocre in all aspects, cannot threaten Li Huan's defense area at all, unless he makes a hasty cross. And the center forward of Barcelona in the middle is not Ibrahimovic, but Bo Yang, who is 1.7 meters tall, and the high-altitude cross is tantamount to teasing Bo Yang, which has no effect.

Li Huan stuck to the right side, Xavi and Iniesta in the middle were targeted, and Barcelona's attack only relied on Messi and Alves on the other side.

However, it is impossible for the professor not to mark Barcelona's most dangerous player, Walket is a full-back most of the time, and although the little tiger is not a regular defensive player, he is fast and can act as a-stirring stick to make Messi and Alves uncomfortable.

Seeing that most of Arsenal's defense is completed by using diligent running, Guardiola's mood is slightly better, he does not believe that Arsenal can run the whole field like this, and Barcelona can use the passing dispatch to drag down Arsenal's physical fitness.

The game was deadlocked, and after 20 minutes, the score was still 0-0, Arsenal did not have a single shot on goal, and Barcelona had four shots, none of which hit the woodwork.

Arsenal did not have a shot on goal does not mean that Arsenal did not threaten Barcelona's backline, Wenger believes that Barcelona's ability to break through the dense defense is not strong, and the central defender is a big hole, so once he grabs the ball at his feet, no matter what is 3721, it is a big kick to hit the opponent's defense behind him, find Bendtner, use Bendtner as a bridgehead, and go back to Li Huan and Walcott, who are inserted at high speed, to end an attack in the fastest and easiest way, and then continue to put into defense.

Because Barcelona had a small Lee knife hanging over their heads, Max and Milito did not dare to foul Bendtner in the 30-meter area, which gave Bendtner the opportunity to control the ball and hand it to his teammates. At this time, the speed of Li Huan and Walcott became very deadly, and Barcelona's backline and midfielders had to desperately return to defense. So although Arsenal didn't form a shot, once they did, it was almost an opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly. Barça are no less dangerous than the besieged Arsenal.

Half an hour has passed, and Barcelona's attack still has not improved, and can only rotate around the periphery of Arsenal, usually at this time, Barcelona's central defenders Puyol and Pique will step forward to form an assist and break the opponent's man-to-man defense. Barcelona's two centre-backs didn't dare to act rashly for so long today, because Milito and Marquez did not have the ability to assist Pique and Puyol.

Looking at the game for half an hour, Arsenal has not been able to form an effective attack, the big foot long pass in the back field is either passed to Valdés, or is cleared, Marcos can't help it, he takes the ball and drives straight into the Arsenal penalty area.

Because Arsenal is basically a man-to-man defense, Marcos, who was suddenly inserted, was not marked, only the defender stepped forward, so it was bound to vacate a Barcelona attacking player, and when Marcos saw Messi being exposed, he was overjoyed and hurriedly passed the ball.

If it was Xavi who passed the ball, Messi would have been able to receive the ball and pose a threat, but Marcos was just a defender, his pass was too fast and a little far away from Messi, and Messi was squeezed away by Diaby and did not grab the ball.

Diaby did not control the ball, and Arsene Wenger stressed before the game that all players must have the ability to quickly move the situation from defence to attack, and today's handling of Diaby was exactly what Wenger wanted, and he passed directly to Bendtner.

When Diaby passed, Li Huan and Walcott also started at high speed immediately, and today's counterattack task fell on them.

This time, Diaby's fast long pass was finally accurate, the ball was grabbed by Bendtner, Milito's header was more than ten centimeters worse than Bendtner, and he couldn't touch the ball first, he knocked down Bendtner below, but referee Stark adhered to the consistent principle and ignored it.

Thankfully, Bendtner didn't intend to stop the ball and he swung it straight to the wing.

Li Huan grabbed the ball at the speed of a 100-meter sprint when the ball was about to go out of the sideline, and then ran to the bottom line like a gallop.

When Diaby made a long pass, the Barcelona players also began to desperately chase back, but even if they started at the same time, who could be faster than Li Huan and Walcott.

Xavi and Iniesta's speed is scum, Marcos assisted, the aging Mexicans who don't go up have no ability to chase back, Milito and Bendtner have just gotten up, and the entire Barcelona only has Keita back, while Arsenal has Li Huan and Walcoat from the side lightning kill.

2 to 1.

The entire Camp Nou stadium was silent, 100,000 pairs of eyes stared at Li Huan with the ball, and the nervous heart was about to jump out of the chest, Arsenal formed an attack, which was a fatal attack.

After Li Huan inserted to the side of the penalty area at high speed, he saw Keita standing in the middle, he wanted to pass the ball, but he could only pass the ball in the air, Walket ran so fast, whether he could handle the ball was a question. To be on the safe side, Li Huan immediately cut inside along the front of the penalty area.

Li Huan cut inside, and Keita only went to fill in to prevent Li Huan from shooting.

Walcott also began to slow down, ready to receive Li Huan's pass.

At this time, Li Huan saw that Valdés had already attacked, he did not pass the ball, and immediately rubbed the ball, the ball flew over Keita's head, and then flew over Valdés, who had already attacked into the big penalty area, and floated into the goal like a leaf.

1:0.

Li Huan rewrote the score.

The huge Camp Nou stadium was deadly silent, and nearly 100,000 Barcelona fans were silent, and they could only watch Li Huan rampantly cover his ears and ask the fans for applause.
