Messi's crazy celebration stimulated the Arsenal players, especially Li Huan, Arshavin, Walcott, Fabregas and other stars, the Emirates Stadium is their home, and Messi scored a long-range shot in the backyard of their own home, which was like a slap in their face, a hot feeling. quANBEn。

Li Huan quickly regained his composure, at Arsenal, he is older, and he is the captain of the team, in a bad situation, he must set an example for the team, if he is impatient and flustered, his young teammates will have no backbone.

"Calm down, there are many opportunities. Don't press it out blindly. Li Huan calmly and forcefully ordered to his teammates beside him.

Arsenal's players nodded silently, on the field, the coach can exert little influence, mainly the captain on the field is in play, so there are many people call the captain the coach on the field, if the captain has high skills and strong personal charm, he even has the ability to compete with the manager.

Due to the unprecedented success in the first year, and after the confirmation of many things, what Li Huan did, the probability of success is high, Li Huan has formed an omnipotent image in the Arsenal team, his words are authority, almost no one dares not to obey, Li Huan's order, the Arsenal players actually suppressed the anger in their hearts, and still stayed behind to watch the counterattack.

Barcelona originally thought that after they equalized, Arsenal would attack in a big way, and they easily counterattacked at the back, so as not to be counterattacked at the back, but now Barcelona's back line is unstable, and they rarely press opponents in their penalty area this season. Barcelona only wants to win 1-0 and no longer pursue goal difference. The center of gravity of the organization has retreated, and there are fewer attacks and goals. And Arsenal was equalized at their own doorstep but was not angry, and still met it calmly, which surprised the Barcelona generals.

In the last few minutes of the first half, the game was played in one side's active defense and one side's hesitation, Barcelona had a hard time expanding the score, and Arsenal also found it difficult to reverse the score again, and the score of 1:1 was maintained until the end of the game.

When the half-time whistle blew, the players on both sides sighed inwardly almost at the same time that this situation was not what they wanted. The score was 1:1, home and away were not satisfactory for both sides.

At the door of the dressing room, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola welcomed the arrival of his disciples with the music of the movie "Spartak", and said: "Welcome to you Warriors, you performed very well in the first half, you are all worthy of your shirts, you are all good." I'm sure you're going to keep it going......"

Pep Guardiola hugged his disciples one by one, patted each player on the shoulder and back, and praised their hard work, Guardiola is well aware of the strength of the current Arsenal team, and knows that Barcelona will encounter greater difficulties in the second half, so he has prepared for the event in advance.

Back in the dressing room, closing the door, Guardiola restrained his smile and said seriously: "The first half is over, maybe some players may breathe a sigh of relief and feel that they can finally rest, but I tell you, now is not the time, we still have at least 135 minutes to play, maybe even 165 minutes and penalty shoot-outs ......"

Guardiola's alarmism made the players on the scene all feel uneasy, to be honest, they have weighed the situation in front of them in their hearts, they all understand that Guardiola's words are a bit exaggerated, but it is by no means impossible, because the current Arsenal team is no longer the Gunners of the past, facing such a terrifying team, no matter how well you are prepared, it is not too much.

“…… Of course, I believe in you, you will take everything that happened last year, we have worked hard for 20 years to be able to spread the ideas of La Masia and Barcelona to the world, so that the whole world understands that Barcelona is the representative of offensive football and artistic football. Catalonia is the centre of world football......"

Pep Guardiola's voice echoed in the away team's dressing room, and although his encouragement could not be said to play a decisive role, he was also able to warn his subordinates not to make the mistakes of last year, as long as they did not lose, even the 1-1 score in front of Guardiola felt very good.

In the locker room of the home team, the professor also came, although he had made arrangements before the game, the players had understood the various scenarios on the field in advance, and had trained, if it was a general game, the professor might not even come, and now he not only came, but also reiterated his deployment to the players again, so that they understood how to deal with the current situation in the second half. 1:1。 For Arsenal, there is no difference between losing and keeping a draw and the only way to keep it is to keep scoring.

“…… Let's talk about Barcelona's attack, the first important thing when Barcelona attacks is to maintain the formation, that is, to ensure that there are enough receiving points when receiving the ball in each position, even if it can't be attacked, the ball can be passed out, and continue to ensure that the ball is in hand. The second is to ensure that the opponent can organize a local counter-robbery as soon as possible after winning the ball, because Barcelona maintains a good formation, no matter where the opponent gets the ball, Barcelona can organize an effective on-the-spot counter-robbery, often two or three people surround the opponent, quickly break the ball or cause the opponent's passing error, at least to achieve the purpose of delaying the opponent's pass, the opponent can not organize an effective counterattack well, to ensure the safety of the front line...... In this case, you should know what to do, don't tell me you forgot. ”

The professor explained the essence of Barcelona's attack in the first half, and then asked the players questions.

"Nope"

"It's all in my head."

"How can we forget that we are going to beat them up again."

"it, we're going to win." ……

The Arsenal players were a little depressed when they were equalised in the first half, and they didn't come back again.

Li Huan coughed lightly, and the locker room immediately fell silent, which was more effective than the professor's order.

“…… Organize Barcelona's advance through fouls near the midfield, and when the first line of defense (near the midfield position) is pulled out by Barcelona's pass, stop Barcelona through fouls, reorganize the formation, and keep the formation from being destroyed. In this way, Barcelona's early pulls have become useless, and when they attack again, they are still facing a complete defense line with three-dimensional protection, and the repeated attacks are interrupted, and the attack will appear to be no threat, making them impetuous. Eventually, their own offense became impatient and their defense was chaotic......"

Li Huan concisely and clearly repeated Wenger's pre-game arrangements, mixed with a lot of his own understanding. For this Barcelona team, Li Huan is more familiar with Wenger, and he has personally experienced it, which is very different from Wenger, and Li Huan's words are more recognizable to the players than Wenger.

After Arsenal discussed the tactics arranged by the professor, Wenger left the dressing room, and seeing Wenger leaving, Li Huan smiled slightly and said to his teammates: "What the professor said has some truth, but we still have to consider some very detailed issues, let's let Sesc from Barcelona talk to us." ”

Li Huan was the first to applaud, and then everyone in the locker room applauded.

Cesc Fabregas was prepared before the game, he stood up calmly and said: "I came out of La Masia, I understand how terrible Barcelona's tactical system is, 20 years of training a formation and style of play, which is difficult for all teams to do. We didn't have Barca's short passing skills and teamwork, so we couldn't beat Barça from possession, so we had to start somewhere else...... The professor asked us to destroy Barcelona's attack at the first moment, the farther away you are from the opponent when you tackle, the easier it is to expose your true purpose, and the defender can not tackle the ball but also tackle people, and when the shovel is far away, you have to tackle people to pounce on the fierce speed and action is large, and it is easy to eat cards...... Therefore, the big action should be done in the area of just 30 meters, when the number of defenders is increased and the density is larger, the distance between the defenders and the Barcelona attackers is closer, and the action is relatively small when tackling, and the probability of eating cards is small......"

After Fabregas finished speaking, Li Huan added some of his own opinions, he is a defender, naturally from the perspective of a defender, and puts forward requirements for defenders and midfielders, "Barcelona's grappling with us is more likely to occur closer to our big penalty area. At this time, if you want to foul in advance, you have to grab it, and as soon as you grab it, our defensive formation will be broken, and if you don't grab it, when Barcelona passes to a position closer to the penalty area, you have to worry about whether to foul. If you foul, the free kick is not easy to defend, and the closer the same action is to the penalty area, the easier it is to eat cards, but I think the referee's whistle is relatively loose, you don't have to be afraid, after all, it is still our home field, despite the foul, give them a free kick, forgive them and there are not many free kick masters. As long as we control the first landing point, we will let their attack thunder and not rain......"

In the 15 minutes of midfield, both home and away teams were in the dressing room to plan the strategy and tactics of the second half of the game, focusing on the weaknesses of the opponent rather than making up for their own shortcomings, which is why Barcelona and Arsenal are regarded as representatives of attacking football. Today, though, it's up to them to battle it out over who is the real attacking football.
