Chapter 338 Helpless Barcelona

Sure enough, after the No.205 minute of the game, Barcelona's offense began to gradually improve.

Messi retreated to get the ball, and then sent a beautiful through pass. Iniesta went straight into the penalty area, got rid of Luke Shaw's defense through his own running, and then shot decisively from a small angle. But he was blocked by Feng Te who returned to the defense, and then Feng Te quickly got up and made a big clearance.

Neymar made a breakthrough from the wing and was brought down by Klein. Harvey took a free kick, and Bartral, who went forward to assist, grabbed the first spot, but was missed by Casemiro's interference.

Alba, who went forward to assist, received a pass from Iniesta, then kicked a long-range shot, and the ball missed the near post.

Alves made a cross from the right. Messi received the ball at the back point and then shook his head to attack the goal. Navas flew to save him.

Seeing their own attack getting more and more fierce, the Barcelona fans began to cheer. This is the game they want to see, suppressing the opponent's defense with constant offense, and then scoring a goal and winning!

However, what they couldn't see was that in order to maintain this kind of attack, their two full-backs had already stepped up, and Mascherano and Batral were also positioned very high, so that they could continue to increase the pressure.

Although under such pressure, both Ronaldo and Suarez have retreated, but Lukaku, who played the most powerful role with enough space, has been cruising quietly, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The game progressed to No. 401 minutes, and such an opportunity came.

Busquets passed the ball from the middle, intending to hand it to Messi in the penalty area, but Otamendi took the lead and cut the ball halfway.

The broken ball rolled to the top of the arc in the penalty area, and De Bruyne, who retreated, took the ball, and then suddenly made a long pass while turning around!

This is a long pass to the front of the opponent's penalty area and the arc top of the middle circle. De Bruyne doesn't know where Lukaku is running at this time. He only knows that he wants to pass the ball to that place .

At the same time, Lukaku started two steps ahead of time with a tacit understanding. When the ball flew out, he had just approached the middle circle line.

When the ball flew into the air, he had already crossed the center circle line.

Never offside!

The closest to Lukaku are Mascherano and Battral. Barcelona's two central defenders retreated at the same time, one left and one right flanking Lukaku who had already run to the middle. At that time, Lukaku's speed increased by another gear, and then rushed abruptly from the middle of the two central defenders!

Mascherano, who is only 1.7 meters tall, staggered helplessly, and then he saw Batral, who was more than ten centimeters taller than himself, fell farther than himself...

"Fuck, what's the use of this guy."

Mascherano cursed in his heart, then helplessly watched Lukaku's figure go away.

At the top of the arc in the penalty area, Lukaku unloaded the pass. Facing the attacking Pinto, he swung his right foot and shot vigorously!

When Pinto was still wondering if the opponent had faked a shot, the ball flew to the bottom right corner of the goal, and the next moment, the entire net trembled violently!

"The goal is scored! Lukaku scored one-handedly! Southampton leads [-]-[-] in the away game! Ah, this is even the first time Southampton's shot in the field of the game has scored a goal! This efficiency is really high... Southampton's defensive counterattack is quite good. They changed the style of offensive football in the previous games and started defensive counterattack. This is absolutely sudden in tactics! "

The commentator shouted loudly, while Lukaku rushed directly to the stands of the visiting fans, listening to the cheers from the stands.

Southampton's players rushed from behind and at the same time began to celebrate wildly.

Ji Ya waved his fist vigorously, he knew that with such a goal before the end of the first half, the next game would be easy to play!

There is no doubt that this goal hit Barcelona's morale hard.

It's not that Barcelona are so fragile that they can be affected by a ball. The key is that before the ball is lost, they have no way to attack and have no chance to organize the ball. They can only rely on the personal breakthroughs of Messi and Neymar to create some opportunities.

This kind of game, Barcelona has rarely played.

So they were a little overwhelmed.

If Guardiola was still there, they would not be so easily overwhelmed. Even when Bilanova coached last season, they would have more confidence. However, under such circumstances, Martino is very difficult Hold on to your emotions.

So in the rest of the first half, Barcelona did not create any good opportunities. The referee soon blew the whistle for the end of the first half. [-]-[-], Southampton took the lead in the away game .

"Very good, we have basically stabilized this game... Continue to defend and counterattack in the second half. Their defense cannot withstand our counterattack. The defense is tighter. Their current offense is not as good as it was in previous years. Brilliant, disrupting their attack from midfield, compressing their attacking space, forcing them to put in more troops, understand?"

Kiya said in the locker room.

The players nodded one after another. They have no opinion on this point. The first half of the game has proved that this is the most effective way to deal with Barcelona.

It is the simplest defensive counterattack, with at most one midfielder's interference and pressing.

The most powerful Barcelona didn't have much to do in front of Inter Milan's iron barrel at the time, not to mention that Barcelona now has fallen a lot compared to then.

Being able to win the away game in a relatively easy way will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the two rounds of the match!

And at the moment in the locker room of the home team, Martino has no other good way-he really can't think of what to do, after all, the conditions are there. If Barcelona wants not to lose the ball, they must control the field more and reduce Press the number of people up and protect your own defense line.

But if you do this, it will be difficult to break through Southampton's solid defense line in the frontcourt.

Don't look at Southampton conceding a lot of goals now, but in fact they conceded very few goals in the previous games this season, which is enough to prove that they have defensive strength.

Faced with such a situation, what should be done?

Moreover, there are not many players in Barcelona who can change the situation. Villa was sold by them before, and the one who can play a role on the bench is nothing more than Sanchez. His speed breakthrough and technology can play a certain role. role.

But he is still not the kind of center who can serve as a battering hammer.
