Chapter 409: The Storm Suddenly Changes
"Everybody's performance in the first half was good." Pep Guardiola was clearly very intoxicated with the fact that he was both on the pitch and taking the lead, and the dressing room was naturally full of praise for his team-mates, "It went on in the second half. ”
Hansen half-leaned there, thinking about the performance of his main rival in the team in the first half, Yaya Toure made his debut this season, although the performance could only be considered mediocre, but an obvious change was that Keita, who had been shooting all over the field, suddenly became invisible, which is a very strange phenomenon. I have played with Keita before, so it can be said that I still need Keita's steals in the backcourt to give the ball, but Yaya Toure seems to have done the work of both of them. So in this way, it is difficult for Keita and Yaya Toure to coexist on the field, both of them are the same type, and although Toure only plays this half, the key to strength is that the ball sense is much better than Keita, which should be the type that Guardiola likes. Therefore, if Henry next to him returns to the state of a striker, and the midfield continues to be occupied by Xavi and Iniesta, then he will have to compete with Toure and Keita.
Under Pep Guardiola's philosophy, Barcelona continued to control the game patiently with their inverted feet in the second half, and in the 53rd minute, Messi's cross from the left was deflected and hit Arsu's hand, but the referee ignored it, believing that it was not enough to give a penalty. And Real Betis also found that Barcelona began to control the game and weakened its aggressiveness, and began to wait for an opportunity to counterattack! In the 57th minute, Sergio? Garcia passes. Jose? Mari cut into the left side of the box and fired a low shot into the far corner from 15 yards. One minute later, Capy's powerful shot from 28 yards was flown over the crossbar by Valdés.
However, Real Betis' attack didn't end there, as Yaya Toure raised his foot too high on the edge of the box. Betis get an indirect free-kick opportunity. Betis' No. 4 Capi pulled out the ball and No. 15 Monzon fired a low left-footed shot into the bottom right corner from 20 yards. 1 to 2! In the 60th minute, Real Betis pulled one back with a set-piece!
"Hey! Just when the game was a bit drowsy, the Real Betis players seized the opportunity and scored a goal from a set-piece! He Wei also became energetic all of a sudden, "There are still 30 minutes left in the game, and the advantage of 1 goal is not safe!" ”
I was also refreshed all of a sudden. There is also Han Sen, who also yawned on the sidelines in the first half, but it was the team that maintained an absolute advantage. Now it's the second half, the difference is that Barcelona's mind seems to be a little paralyzed because of the lead, and now Real Betis has been adjusted in midfield. It's murderous time. Han Sen at this time. has been warmed up with Henry and Busquets, and the three rare big and tall men in Barcelona watched this scene, and they couldn't help but stop the warm-up action and began to look nervously at the field.
After Real Betis scored a goal, their morale was boosted, and they continued to seize Barcelona's still somewhat unclear mentality to seize the attack, in the 63rd minute, Jose? Mali was once again given the opportunity to strike single-handedly. Valdés came out in time to block Jose with his chest? Mali's intended pick-and-roll break. However, Barcelona quickly returned to the color in the 65th minute. Messi's left-footed shot from just outside the edge of the box went just wide of the right-hand post. Real Betis seemed to be waiting for Barcelona's breath to come up, and the rhythm of the whole game's offensive and defensive transitions was fast! Sergio? Garcia burst into the left side of the box with the ball, but Cáceres made a nice tackle to keep the ball away. Cáceres then made an unsuccessful clearance, and the ball went back to Sergio in twos and threes? At Garcia's feet, I saw Garcia looking left and right, and then suddenly plugged Jose in the middle? Mali, Abidal's tackle interception missed, Jose? Mali burst into the right side of the box and fired into the far corner. 2 to 2!
"Another one!" He Wei shouted, "Barcelona paid the price for their lack of progress, 2-2, in the 67th minute, Jose? Mali's goal equalised, a player who played for AC Milan at the beginning of the century and is a player familiar to Chinese fans, and I believe many fans are familiar with his name. ”
"It's equalized!" Binyan craned his neck to look at the situation on the field, listening to the dissatisfied shouts and scolding of the Barcelona fans around him.
Osvaldo smiled: "If the equalizer is equalized, I think Han Sen is almost on the field." ”
Yang Man nodded slightly on the side, and then lowered his head and kept texting. Binyan looked at her and asked strangely, "Director Yang, text your boyfriend?" ”
Yang Man glanced at Binyan: "We came all the way from China to broadcast live, and most of them came for Han Sen, and now you say that Han Sen may be playing, don't I have to remind my colleagues to get ready?" ”
Hansen, Henry and Busquets and other substitutes were also dumbfounded when they watched Real Betis chase two goals in seven minutes, and assistant coach Vilanova walked up to them quickly at this time and shouted: "Handsome, and Busquets, come here, ready to play." ”
As if he hadn't planned to play for a long time, Henry patted the two on the shoulder: "Go ahead!" ”
"Oh, just after Barcelona was chased twice by Real Betis in a few minutes, Guardiola also saw that the situation on the field had changed, and he couldn't let the situation fall like this, so he changed two players at the same time." He Wei also stretched his neck to look at the sidelines, while staring at the TV monitor in the commentary seat from time to time, "Han Sen and Busquets, replace two backs at the same time!" ”
In the 71st minute, Barcelona replaced Keita and Yaya Toure with Hansen and Busquets, and Guardiola also arranged very clearly after the two came on the field, asking Busquets to defend and Hansen to attack!
"The rotation of Pep Guardiola's game today seems to be a little unpleasant, Keita and Yaya Toure have too similar styles of play, including skin tones, which makes it a bit confusing." He Wei humorously quipped, "In this case, even teammates may not be able to tell who is Keita and who is Yaya Toure, and then it will be a little difficult in terms of passing and coordination in the game." In fact, we also saw that Keita, who had been a good performer in the previous games, disappeared completely in this game, and Yaya Toure did not find his rightful position. Thankfully, Pep Guardiola made up for it in time to bring on Hansen and Sergio Busquets, both of whom are possession-minded players who should be able to settle down quickly. ”
Sure enough, after the two came on the field, they both felt good, Busquets immediately gave Xavi a through stopper, Xavi took the ball and turned only to be knocked down by the opponent's Arsu in front of the penalty area, and then Xavi's free-kick from 25 yards was beautifully saved by Casto. After the restart, Hansen and Sergio Busquets went back and forth, and quickly choked the opponent's Capi and Sergio? Garcia's two central midfield points cut off the ball, Hansen took the ball and distributed it to Busquets, who pushed the ball back at a very fast pace. Han Sen didn't have time to stop the ball, so he directly separated his feet and leaked the ball, and then turned around and leaned away from Mark? Gonzalez, followed by the ball, and quickly stepped forward! Just when Han Sen's turning action was over and he was about to pull up the speed in a straight line, Kapi on the other side did not hesitate to shovel and kicked Han Sen over!
"Foul! Yellow! He Wei said excitedly, "Han Sen just came on the field, and almost for the first time he touched the ball, he was put down by the opponent, and he did not hesitate to pay the price of a yellow card!" As a Chinese fan, I think this is arranged by the opponent, that is, it is deliberately not allowed to let Han Sen lead the rhythm of Barcelona's attack so easily. You must know that after Han Sen came on the field, the entire Barcelona offensive line is now speedy, Messi, Eto'o and Han Sen, plus passing masters like Xavi and Iniesta, once the rhythm is fast, Real Betis is difficult to block, only harassment with foul tactics. Compared with the fouls on Messi and Eto'o in the frontcourt, the fouls in the midfield are slightly cheaper even if they are bad, so only Hansen suffers. ”
I saw that Han Sen also rolled on the ground a few times, Kapi's kick was actually not too heavy, but Han Sen had just pulled up the speed, so he didn't come up in one breath, and rolled on the ground for a few big laps, which also made his body feel extremely uncomfortable, and his heart was even more unhappy. This free kick near the center circle, Xavi also took the initiative to give up to Han Sen, let him further find his foot feeling, Han Sen also hung directly into the penalty area, there was no height in the front, and was quickly pushed to the periphery by Betis, Xavi and Eto'o continued to shoot on the periphery and the results were blocked, and then Guardiola replaced Eto'o with Bojan. In the 78th minute, Hansen made a triangular pass between Busquets and Xavi, and then Xavi went straight to the right, and Alves cut in the back row and shot slightly higher. One minute later, it was replaced by a triangular pass between Hansen, Xavi and Iniesta, Hansen was distributed to the left, Abidal passed, and Bojan's powerful shot from 25 yards on the left was saved by Casto.
