Chapter 1017 Crazy Hornet
The day after the Gunners and Bayern match ended, the showdown on the second leg of the semifinals officially kicked off.
All Arsenal players sat in the conference room and watched the game together under Wenger's leadership. Under the premise that Barcelona defeated Dortmund 2-0 at home, everyone agreed that there was no big suspense in this game.
Even before the game started, after the starting lineups obtained by both sides appeared, Wenger led the team members to make a game preview based on the tactical information of the two existing teams.
Through strict reasoning, the following conclusions were drawn.
1. Barcelona will firmly control the situation. Although their passes and controls will have some operational problems under Dortmund's press, they will never be unable to control the situation.
2. Messi will still score goals, which is certain that he has scored in five consecutive games and is in good shape. After all, when Liu Feng was in excellent condition, almost no one thought he would be squinting.
3. The score will not be too big. Barcelona already has a two-point advantage in front of it, which will keep the score difference between the two sides in this game at one goal or even tie.
With such a general theory that everyone agreed with, the competition began.
At the beginning of the first day of the game, the crazy West** Stadium once again shocked the Gunners players through the screen.
They had encountered Dortmund in the group stage last season. The terrifying devilish home atmosphere at the opponent's home court really made Arsenal team more knowledgeable.
Although his Emirates Stadium was already very exciting at home, it was not as terrifying as the home court of the European No. 1 Devil.
Barcelona was obviously also hit by Dortmund's home court, and the players seemed very cautious at the beginning of the first day of the game.
Compared to their pass control, the Hornets played very crazy. Their coach Klopp jumped and jumped in the coaching area, which attracted Guardiola on the side to keep rolling his eyes, and the players on the field were also extremely fierce.
The situation of the game changed in the 21st minute. Reus broke the ball on the wing and launched an attack, rushing forward until the opponent's defender rushed up before choosing to pass the ball.
The ball was given to the foot of the Hornet's genius midfielder Gotze. The player was not panicked when facing Butzckets' pressing, and then he pulled the ball away with a fried croquette and changed direction. Before the opponent's long legs reached over, he stuffed the ball into the position between Pique and Mascherano.
Then, Dortmund's big center Lewandowski, who impressed the Gunners, stood up and took the ball steadily, and still sent the ball into a theoretical blind spot when Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes blocked most angles.
1-0, the Hornets took the lead at home.
This made the roar of Wester even more explode. The huge devil TIFO in the south stand suddenly opened his eyes under his command, and the Barcelona team was breathless.
For a moment, Barcelona's disadvantage of being too calm and soft was revealed.
But people still don't think Barcelona will really keep sinking like this. After all, this is also a team called the Dream Team. When Guardiola brings his football philosophy to the extreme, they can burst out with infinite potential.
This is true. After Dortmund led by just six minutes, Barcelona used their pass to let the opponent not touch the ball once after re-telebrating.
As Xavi gently picked up Iniesta's pass and pushed it over Schmelzer's thigh, Messi appeared in front of the ball.
There is almost no need to aim, and a goal that lightly pushes the ball and passes the ball into the goal is born.
This is the ultimate pass and control of Barcelona, which is not the same as Wens football but is also breathtaking.
1-1, the score was tied. Looking at the cool Barcelona players, the game seemed to be on the right track again.
However, everyone was wrong. When Klopp shouted loudly on the sidelines and waved his hand down, Dortmund's entire team completely broke out like an accelerator.
In the next twenty minutes, according to statistics, the Dortmund players ran completely twice that of Barcelona players. Behind this terrifying contrast is that Barcelona's passes are not even as fast as the Hornets players.
So, in the 44th minute of the game, Dortmund cut the ball under Busquets in the heart of Barcelona's midfield and then counterattacked on the spot and went straight into the penalty area and scored a goal by Gotze. It seemed very reasonable.
They paid more and seized the opportunity accurately, so it was naturally worth the goal.
The first half ended with a score of 2-1. Everyone in the Gunners' conference room fell into silence and thought.
If they were facing such a crazy but actually very organized Dortmund, could they withstand it?
With such questions, the game entered the second half.
Faced with the situation of leading the game, Barcelona, which is still ahead in the total score, is still not in a hurry. After getting the ball, they still choose to control the ball and pull according to Guardiola's requirements.
This undoubtedly gave the Hornets who have continued to maintain that rampage since the start of the second half.
In the 60th minute of the game, Xavi was intercepted this time. He rushed out of the ball under the joint pressing between Gundogan and Gotze and was intercepted. Then Gotze directly passed the ball with a long pass and found Reus on the left.
Reus took off the ball in his chest and pushed forward, and made a cross of the ball in an oblique manner forty-five degrees to hang the ball into the penalty area. Pique did not push Lewandowski under the suffocating pressure and let the opponent hit the ball hard.
So, another goal was born.
"Huh~"
Looking at the score and Dortmund's crazy look, the Gunners' conference room breathing has deepened.
At this moment, the total score between the two sides has reached 3-3, and Barcelona is just the advantage of a away goal.
Feeling the momentum of both sides growing and growing on the court, for a moment, everyone had an increasingly obvious guess in their hearts - to be upset!
In fact, that's exactly the case.
Guardiola's move to make a substitution after the team was scored another goal was still on the sidelines and declared his death for Barcelona's last hope.
In the 64th minute of the game, only four minutes after the previous goal was scored. Barcelona, which was completely smashed by the Hornets, made another mistake. This time, Reus inserted diagonally from the left and scored the goal.
4-1, a huge difference appeared.
Countless Barcelona fans watching this game were stunned. Guardiola, who was standing on the bald head in the coaching area, began to sweat. He did not look at his bench until now to prepare for a substitution.
But, will this really work?
