In Barcelona's locker room, the atmosphere is very dull, the two pistachios in the locker room, Alves is injured, and Young Master Pique has a rare serious face, Pique is still like this, let alone others.

Guardiola has been standing in front of the tactical blackboard since entering the dressing room, looking at the players in the dressing room with bright eyes, and has not spoken.

The Barcelona players in the locker room are busy with their own things, some are tidying up their shin guards, some are silently drinking water, and some are bowing their heads in contemplation, but everyone's movements are very light, as if there are babies sleeping in the locker room.

"Let's watch the movie and listen to the music." Guardiola said suddenly.

If there were reporters eavesdropping outside at this moment, he would definitely be surprised, and it is a bit shocking that Pep Guardiola would say such a thing during the half-time break of such an important Champions League final.

"We are now in the great Rome, the center of Europe, not far from us is the former Roman gladiatorial arena, in order to survive the gladiators used to fight the beast to the death two thousand years ago, today we will take a look at the film "Gladiator".

After Guardiola finished speaking, he used the VCR in the dressing room to show a seven-minute inspirational short film that he had asked a friend who worked at the TV station to help him. The short film features images from the Oscar-winning film "Gladiator", with the classic song "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" from the opera "Turandot" in the background, interspersed with scenes of the Barça players' training and matches after an exciting life-and-death struggle between man and beast.

Pep Guardiola didn't say a word of encouragement, and the seven-minute short film made all the players enthusiastic. Peake stood up first and said, "Reversal!" We must reverse! ”

Puyol waved his thick arms and shouted: "Aren't we as good as Liverpool?" They were three goals behind and were able to come back from behind to win the title. ”

Harvey, who has always been steady and low-key, said like a fortune teller: "This film will bring us good luck." ”

Argentina's Messi is usually a man of few words, and the same is true in the dressing room, although he did not speak at the moment, but his clenched fists and unusually cold expression showed his fighting spirit and determination.

Seeing the emotions of the players written on their faces, Guardiola added the last fire, "We should go all out, pay attention to team spirit, strive for every ball, and never give up easily." We were playing against a very strict and hard-working team and we couldn't have won without giving 100 per cent. Gladiators were able to slay ferocious lions, but couldn't we still defeat Hoffenheim? Even if the start is not good, as long as you continue to work hard and combine work, perseverance, combat effectiveness and self-confidence, you will definitely be able to reap fruitful results. The soul of the gladiator looks down on us in the sky, and we have to prove that we are a man. ”

"We're going to prove that we're a man." Barcelona's dressing room resounded with the roar of the Barcelona players in unison.

In Hoffenheim's dressing room, of course, it was a different scene, with a two-goal lead in the first half, which exceeded the estimates of the most optimistic players, and the assistant coach Zeidler, who was pessimistic about Hoffenheim before the game, was already speechless with the surprise of this score, and in the dressing room, the Hoffenheim players and coaches made fun of Zeidler and said that he was an undercover agent for Barcelona.

Rangnick also changed his unsmiling expression and celebrated the first half victory with the players, the 15-minute break was occupied by celebration, and with five or six minutes left, Rangnick coughed twice and stopped the players who were still celebrating.

"We can't be happy too soon, the game is far from over, we still have 45 minutes to say that we are Champions League winners, the opponent is Barcelona, the best attacking team in the world, it is not difficult for them to score goals, we must guard against arrogance in the second half, continue to follow the path of the first half, defend intensively, wait for opportunities to counterattack, after Arshavin was injured, the speed of our counterattack has decreased, it is not very beneficial for our counterattack, I hope everyone must be cautious." ”

Zeidler then added, saying: "Don't forget the night in Istanbul, AC Milan led by three goals, and was overturned by Liverpool in the end......"

Before Cedler's words were finished, he was interrupted by the players, and Gustavo said: "Coach Cedler, you can't just increase Barcelona's morale to destroy our prestige, even if Barcelona is Liverpool, we are not necessarily AC Milan." ”

Obasi also arrived: "Yes, no matter how good their attack is, there is nothing we can do, and they only had a few shots in the first half that were within the range of the goal. ”

Rangnick saw that the other players were also gossiping, which made Zeidler's face look ugly, so he said: "Zeidler reminded him well, don't be careless, we need to calm down, we can score in the second half, and if we can't score, we will keep the score of 2:0." ”

The players of the two sides have different experiences and behaviors in the locker room, and the expressions after walking out of the locker room are not very different, the Barcelona players are high-spirited, eager to try, and the psychology of revenge is very heavy, while the Hoffenheim players are beaming with joy and high spirits, and the expressions on their faces are more relaxed.

The first kick-off in the second half was Barcelona, and the Barcelona players were already enthusiastic, determined to learn like gladiators, kill Hoffenheim, and become heroes in the eyes of fans. After the opening, it was like a tiger descending from a mountain, rushing towards the Hoffenheim penalty area.

It seems that Barcelona's offense is no different from the first half, it is still a combination of side attack and middle penetration, it is still dominated by individual breakthroughs and passing coordination, occasionally mixed with long-range shots, but in fact, the difference is not small, and now Barcelona is playing faster, more concise, and more decisive when shooting from a distance.

And Hoffenheim's players were obviously blinded by the ease and intelligence of the first half, and they didn't notice this obvious change in Barcelona, and felt that Barcelona was still like the first half, it must be a poor donkey, as long as they stick to it, the victory and the championship will belong to them.

Just two minutes into the second half, Henry switched to the middle to grab the point, Xavi's long pass in the midfield was pushed back to the front of the penalty area by Henry, and was picked up by Iniesta, and Xiaobai was immediately assigned to Messi on the side.

Messi faced right-back Baker, venting all his anger against Li Huan on Baker's body, he used his fast frequency characteristics, in front of Baker continued to do speed and direction changes, back and forth repeated turns, Baker was finally defeated by Messi's quick turn, he was dizzy, Messi cut into the penalty area, Simunic had to come to fill the position.

Messi was not greedy, he passed directly to the right side of the penalty area, looking for the little white Iniesta who was standing in that position.

When Iniesta saw the ball, he didn't even think about it, he raised his foot and shot, still kicking it with the outside of his right foot, and the ball flew straight to the right side of the goal in a strange arc.

Hildebrand didn't expect Iniesta to shoot, Iniesta didn't like to shoot but he was counted in the whole of Europe, and sometimes his teammates even told him, "Don't pass it to me, you're in a better position than me, just shoot." "Hildebrand has been in Valencia in La Liga for a while, and is very familiar with Iniesta's surname and technique, but because he is too familiar, he will be a little surprised by Iniesta.

Fortunately, the ball flew not far from Hildebrand, who could reach it with a side jump, but Hildebrand ignored Iniesta's footwork when shooting, and when his hand almost touched the ball, the ball turned to the side strangely, making Hildebrand's judgment error, and his hand was empty.

The ball hit the post and bounced into the net!

2:1！

This time the excitement turned into the Spanish fans, the Spaniards were naturally enthusiastic, and after the goal they performed even more frantically than the German fans, the fans jumped up with a bang and shouted, "Andres Iniesta Andres...... The name of the "Iniesta ......".

Guardiola clenched his fists excitedly and yelled at the field, the emotions that had been suppressed for 48 minutes were finally vented, and he scored at the beginning of the second half, which was a life-saving elixir for Barcelona, and the gap between two goals and one goal is not just a one-goal gap, the mentality, fighting spirit, self-confidence, and possible actions taken by both sides when defending, will change significantly.

His Majesty King Carlos, who had been in a state of mind in the VIP box, also jumped up, like a young man in his teens, he fell on the railing of the box and waved his fist at the stadium, then turned around and hugged Prime Minister Zapatero again, "We have hope, the championship is coming back." ”

Zapatero was also very excited, saying: "This goal is really timely, it is so timely, Guardiola doesn't know what to do in the dressing room, they played really well in the second half."

But by this time His Majesty had ignored him and was there alone singing the Barcelona anthem, like a real fan.

Hoffenheim's fans and players were stunned as if they had been poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they couldn't believe their eyes, and the opponent scored a goal in just two minutes after the opening game. The Big Ears Cup, which has already won two ears, has now been snatched by Barcelona.

Rangnick's relaxed expression froze for a moment, he was talking to the assistant coach, and when the ball went in, his mouth was open and he couldn't close it anymore. In an instant, Rangnick stood up, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted to the Hoffenheim players: "Steady! Be sure to hold on! We have to hold on, we're still ahead! ”

Hoffenheim's players must also want to stabilize, they are not going to play against Barcelona impulsively now, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, after the Barcelona players scored, they were very excited, and they wanted to score two more goals to reverse Hoffenheim, and their offensive was even more fierce. Even Xavi and Toure rushed up to try their luck with long-range shots.

Hoffenheim's players originally let Barcelona's long-range shot or pass, but ignored it, just stayed near the penalty area, and after being broken by Iniesta's long-range shot, they became jealous of Barcelona's long-range shot, and did not dare to let them kick at will on the periphery, so that the defensive area gradually expanded.

The expansion of Hoffenheim's defensive area is conducive to Barcelona's penetration in the middle, although Hoffenheim still has so many defensive players, but Barcelona's back and forth in the middle of the crowd is like a fish playing between lotus leaves, often in Hoffenheim's penalty area also do pass coordination, sometimes even in Hoffenheim's penalty area to play a back and forth. The situation of the game is getting worse and worse for Hoffenheim, and it is almost inevitable that a goal will be scored.

At this time, Li Huan shouted on the side, "Foul!" It's all fucking fouls, can't you kick the ball and can't kick people? ”

Under Li Huan's lead foul, Hoffenheim's players did not rush to the ball, but directly squeezed with their bodies, either they could not pass the ball or they could not pass the ball. Hoffenheim's players were fouled to keep Barcelona in check, but two free-kicks were awarded to Barcelona in just over five minutes.

The first free-kick was deflected wide by Xavi, and the first free-kick Messi was limp and held in the arms of goalkeeper Hildebrand.

Hoffenheim's players saw that Barcelona's players were too poor in free kick skills, and the fouls were more bold and presumptuous, which made Barcelona's smooth coordination fragmented, and they had to pause every minute or two, but they finally blocked Barcelona's crazy counterattack and did not let Barcelona score another goal while the iron was hot, but they also paid the price of three yellow cards, Gustavo, Tymoshchuk, Simunic and striker Obasi in the backfield all received yellow cards Ten minutes after the second half, Hoffenheim gradually adapted to Barcelona's rhythm, No longer as passive as they were at the beginning, Barcelona also need a breather after a round of onslaught.

After watching this thrilling 10 minutes, the three commentators and on-site commentators of the court station all said a common sentence, "If Barcelona had a Li Huan, there would be no suspense about the championship now." ”

Zhang Lu even said: "If I were La Burta, then no matter how much money it costs, I would buy Li Huan over, with Barcelona's ability to make free kicks, and then with Li Huan, not to mention the triple crown, it is not impossible to win the six crowns." There is even a chance to create the miracle of Real Madrid back then. ”

He Wei said: "With the Catalayan surname, if Li Huan disturbs their dream of winning the triple crown, they will definitely not buy Li Huan." They are very proud. ”

Tao Wei smiled and said: "Even if Barcelona wants to buy Li Huan, Li Huan will not necessarily go, Catalans only value their own lineage, others are excluded there, and they also want players to learn Catalan and support Catalan reading, Li Huan must hate such a thing." ”

He Wei was stunned for a moment and said: "Tao Wei is right, Li Huan really can't accept such a thing, he has always been bohemian. ”
