"In this game, Barcelona's starting personnel have not changed much. On the back line, only full-back Adriano was the player who did not start when he played against Arsenal last round."

Adriano, Pique, Puyol and Mascherano, and the goalkeeper is still Valdes. Such personnel once again prove that the two teams are really elite in the first round of the match.

On the court, Barcelona's possession of the ball did not last long. Faced with the joint encirclement of four midfielders, even a team like Barcelona would not be able to gain much advantage.

While Gansuo and Wilshire were fiercely clamping, Harvey was unable to maintain his body balance. He passed the ball to Sanchez in the gap.

Sanchez's position was not good either. He was forced by Mertesacker when he got the ball. Before the ball could be reached by Messi, who was rushing inside while shouting, the ball was cut off.

"The ball has changed hands, and Barcelona's first offense ended in failure. Now it's Arsenal's time to take possession. Mertesacker cut the ball and quickly gave it to Gansuo's feet."

Compared to Barcelona, ​​Arsenal's ball control can be said to be unstoppable and stable.

Perhaps there is less delicate and repeated transmission than the opponent's ball control, but in terms of short pass and speed control, they are definitely the best in the world today.

Seeing Arsenal's pass rolling past his eyes, Barcelona players realized that they could not quickly break the ball and quickly retreated and set a position in their own half.

So, when Ganso crossed the half, Chamberlain on both sides and Walcott escorted Liu Feng and Aguero on the front, Arsenal's half-time offense and defense performance began.

"Faced with Harvey's pressing to Wilshire on the left, Butskes rushed up quickly. Wilshire was not afraid at all. After the two of them touched their bodies, they continued to move forward and backward. Chamberlain received the ball!"

After attracting enough firepower, the pressure on his teammates is naturally very small. Chamberlain, who took the ball, accelerated and rushed up along the side.

When Buzks wanted to interfere as the first buffer line, Wilshire intentionally or unintentionally blocked his thoughts.

So, Chamberlain's direct laning became Mascherano.

"Faced with the front guard straight, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, and Chamberlain's movements did not slow down at all. When he was moving at high speed, he tried to force his body to change his position and walk from the side."

The two of them had a chance to compete. Chamberlain's rapid change of direction really made Mascherano unable to react. He gave the young player the opportunity to continue down the bottom along the side.

However, that's all. As an experienced veteran, Mascherano immediately made an action that made everyone amazing at the next moment.

"Chamberlain shook the space, A Feng from the middle lane had already leaned over. The opportunity to pass the ball came, and he pushed it directly~ Mascherano! He let out his whole body!"

With extremely silky movements, Mascherano was like a wall blocking the ball rolling path. He did not target any direction, but he defended against all routes from the bottom line to his head without blind spots.

So, Chamberlain's pass was blocked by Mascherano and left the baseline.

“WTF!”

Chamberlain was also stunned by this scene. He held his head and looked at Mascherano who stood up and smiled at him and shook his index finger. This time, the young man really had a good understanding.

"A very exciting defense, Mascherano taught Chamberlain a lesson, but Arsenal also got a corner kick from the left, and several offensive players are in place."

While Barcelona fans were cheering for the wonderful defense of their full-backs just now, the players on the court had no time to continue to savor, and the nervous set-piece offense and defense were coming soon.

With a defender like Puyol and Pique who are not airtight in defense, Barcelona successfully defended the corner kick, but the counterattack they tried to fire was also curbed by the Gunners' quick response.

The two sides were evenly matched and showed their performance to the fullest. The two teams continued to attack and defend for the next ten minutes, and their respective developments were very beautiful.

Among them, on Barcelona, ​​Messi has also begun to receive passes from his teammates frequently.

On the sideline, Messi is much more relaxed than Liu Feng, who was jointly guarded by Puyol and Buzquez. In addition to arranging Maicon to face him, Wenger only rushed back to press when necessary.

Speaking of Macon and Messi, the two have had too much of a front teeth relationship.

That was the experience of Meconn's three-time champion in Inter Milan's season against Barcelona. He was also responsible for defending Messi. They defeated Barcelona 3-1 in the first leg.

In that game, his defense against Messi was omnipresent. Until the end, Messi was completely anxious and accidentally waved his hand and directly killed Macon's front teeth.

In this game, Macon, who has been around for a long time, reappeared in a high-level match like the Champions League, met Messi again.

He still did a good job. Although he was a little slow in running and predicting Messi's change of direction, he could stick to his teammates to assist in defense every time, and that was enough.

The stalemate between the two sides lasted until forty minutes. Looking at the brand that was still 0-0, the entire Barcelona team's offensive steps were obviously much faster, but this speed did not mean chaos.

They began to speed up the ball, and Xavi and Xiaobai also began to increase the frequency of ball shots in the middle and right.

The offense and defense of both sides began to get faster and faster, until finally, the airtight Gunner midfielder took the lead in making mistakes.

It was after Ganso and Wilshire both pressed, but Busques cut the ball under Aguero's feet in the backcourt and passed it with a long pass.

"Accurate long pass, the ball was given to Iniesta, who received the midfield from the right. Xiaobai easily removed the ball and turned around and gave it directly. Messi got the ball!"

This is an excellent offensive opportunity for Barcelona. Messi only needs to deal with Messi. Sanchez quickly inserted it so that Mertesacker and Vermullen dared not act rashly.

If Messi was allowed to defend in the tight space squadron, he might be very confident, but with such an empty opponent running, it is obviously a bit difficult for the veteran.

Not to mention, his defense is a super genius who has long been honored.

"Lingbo Micro-step, the extremely small step frequency is close to Maikong. The super-left change direction is still fake when facing the right side, and the direction changes again. Oh my God, Maikong's knees are almost twisted into a twist, breaking through!!!"

"boom!!!"

The entire Camp Nou Stadium erupted instantly.
