Chapter 444 Confidence in Kiya

"The performance in the first half of the game was good... how do you feel?" Ji Ya asked with a smile in the locker room.

While wiping his sweat, De Bruyne said thoughtfully: "I feel that Barcelona's midfield control ability has not declined. Harvey's performance is very good, not like a 35-year-old veteran."

"Yes, he did show a high level in the first half... But what we need to know is that he is 35 years old after all, and he has played less than [-] games in all competitions this season... This shows that he Their physical fitness has indeed dropped a lot, so in the second half of the game, their midfield possession will not be so good, and this is where we can take advantage." Ji Ya nodded approvingly, and then said.

The players also nodded one after another. This is a very normal thing. Xavi is getting old. It is no problem to play five or six 10 minutes in his best condition. Under such circumstances, Barcelona is of course in possession of the ball in the second half. It won't do that well.

"So in the second half, we need to control the midfield better, and then continue to attack. This way the attack is more effective, and it can make Harvey leave the field faster without physical fitness. At that time, it will be our midfielder. " Ji Ya said confidently.

On the other side, Enrique is most concerned about Harvey's physical fitness...

This season, Barcelona often played other people instead of Harvey. However, in such a game, the importance of Harvey is still irreplaceable.

Originally, a player like Harvey couldn't be replaced, even Xiaofa proved that he couldn't replace Harvey's ability, because he was used to the rhythm of the Premier League, and he was a bit out of tune with the rest of Barcelona.

Rakitic, who joined this season, performed very well and became a part of the club. However, his characteristics are completely different from Harvey. He is a midfield engineer. He can do other things, but he is not a brain or a source of offense. .

And Iniesta is unshakable on the front line.

Under such circumstances, how long Harvey can support is a key.

"If you run and play like this now... 65 minutes." Harvey replied after thinking about it.

A veteran like him always has an extremely accurate estimate of his physical condition.

Enrique nodded. Harvey usually only has about seven to 10 minutes of physical fitness. Although he had a good rest before this game, the physical upper limit of a veteran like him is there, and it is a heavyweight game. Harvey can persist Not bad until 65 minutes.

At that time, whether to replace a midfielder or a striker will be enough for him to have a headache.

The replacement of the midfielder also depends on whether it is better to replace Rafinha with an attacking midfielder with good skills who can break through the ball and distribute the ball, or a midfielder like Alexander Song who can run, intercept and fight. This is enough. He thought about it.

"In the second half of the game, we have to pass the ball more forward and use our striker's ability... Southampton's defense is not very good. They are mainly concentrated in the penalty area, so they seem very solid. We called them out, Go past them, and then tear their defenses! Got it? This is our advantage!"

Enrique yelled in the locker room, and the Barcelona players waved their fists one after another. They were also extremely eager for the victory in this final. They performed well this season and regained the invincibility of those seasons Of course, I don't want to be blocked by Southampton.

Although their myth was broken by Southampton at that time, but in this game, they have to prove their strength, they are still so outstanding and powerful!

"Okay, players from both sides are on the field, and the second half is about to begin! Both sides did not make substitutions during the intermission, but this is normal. This is their strongest lineup in itself, and their performance in the first half was also very good. Substitution at this time will bring passiveness... the second half of the game has begun!"

Amidst the chanting of the commentator, Barcelona, ​​who kicked off in the second half, took the lead in attacking!

Their first attack was intercepted by Southampton halfway.

Casemiro cut off Harvey's forward pass, Southampton took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, De Bruyne made a long pass behind the opponent's defense, Lukaku advanced at high speed, and Pique, who returned to the defense in time, took the ball first and passed It was given to Mascherano, and Southampton launched a press on the spot in the frontcourt.

Their pressing almost completed the interception in the frontcourt, but the excellent foot skills of the Barcelona players allowed them to break through the opponent's pressing. Alba took the ball from the side and passed it straight forward. Barcelona began to counterattack quickly!

After receiving a pass from Iniesta, Xavi went straight into the penalty area. The through pass was quite beautiful. Messi advanced forward to form a semi-single shot. When receiving the ball, Wundt interfered from the side. Messi came first Time kicked the shot, and the ball flew to the near corner of the goal. Gulacci fell to the ground immediately and blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand.

Iniesta took a corner kick, and Pique grabbed the first goal with a header, but it was high under Wundt's interference.

Ji Ya slapped his hands and withstood the opponent's attack. Southampton's defense was fine.

They quickly launched an attack. Cancelo advanced along the right at high speed. Seeing that Barcelona's overall defense line moved to the right, he immediately shifted his feet. The ball flew to the left side of the front field. After receiving the ball, Mane led The ball cut diagonally into the penalty area, and seeing Mascherano blocking his way, he immediately chose to pass back. Suarez followed up and volleyed the goal directly. Ter Stegen also made a wonderful save. Blocking the ball with one hand, Pique immediately made a clearance.

"Southampton also launched a very threatening attack, which was blocked by Ter Stegen! I have to say that the goalkeepers of both sides have played quite well! Southampton has [-] shots so far, and Barcelona's shot is [-] times. It was thirteen times, and both sides scored eight times within the range of the goal frame, which shows that both sides' offenses are sure to shoot! Under such circumstances, the performance of the goalkeepers of both sides is indeed trustworthy!"

"No one thought that Gulacci would have such an outstanding performance this season. I don't think Ji Ya had thought of it before, otherwise he would not have brought in Romero. After all, Romero's worth is not high, but his salary is still high. It’s not low, Southampton doesn’t seem to have such a luxury to have two main-level goalkeepers at the goalkeeper position...”

Hearing such comments, Southampton fans are very tired-watching the Champions League carefully, why mention this?I didn't ask you to pay again!

For the fans of Southampton, they now have absolute confidence in Ji Ya in the management of the team.

Not to mention the two goalkeepers, he manages such a big team well, doesn't he?
