Chapter 445 The More Fierce Offensive
Although it is a tie now, the Barcelona fans still have enough confidence in the victory of this game.
Although Southampton eliminated Barcelona in the quarter-finals in the process of winning the championship last season, breaking the myth that they have entered at least the semi-finals of the Champions League for five consecutive seasons, but in the eyes of Barcelona fans, Barcelona was in a relatively low state last season, but this season, they are no longer the same!
After the start of the second half, Barcelona created a threatening shot, which gave the Barcelona fans even more confidence.
After a few minutes, two minutes later, Messi retreated to take the ball, cut in from the left, and then cooperated with Neymar and Iniesta to continuously pass the ball without stopping, and successfully broke into the penalty area. Then he lobbed a shot into the far corner of the goal before Otamendi's replacement, Otamendi's replacement was a step slower, and Gulacci's save was also a bit worse. Just when the Barcelona fans were about to cheer loudly, the ball was shot But by accident, he brushed the far post and flew out of the bottom line...
There was a sigh from the Barcelona fans.
This offense was played quite beautifully. It can almost be said that it completely tore through Southampton's defense. It was the last shot, which was a little bit less lucky.
But after sighing, they gave out loud applause and cheers. Once there is such an attack, there will be another one. They can't be so unlucky every time. They will score goals sooner or later!
Their self-confidence is not unreasonable. After all, as long as Barcelona has no problem with offense, they will have no problem.
However they forgot one thing.
Southampton will also attack.
Their offensive strength is not worse than Barcelona, and even better than Barcelona in some places.
Southampton quietly launched an attack.
They were not in a hurry to launch a fierce attack, but began to pass and mobilize continuously in the midfield, consuming the opponent's physical energy and letting Harvey consume more.
Such an attack requires a lot of patience, but Southampton's players do not lack such patience.
After falling back and forth for a few minutes in a row, Barcelona pays special attention every time De Bruyne takes the ball-because De Bruyne's breakthrough is also quite threatening.
So when Coutinho gets the ball a little further back, he doesn't get a lot of attention.
After all, Coutinho took the ball on the right and was not close to the penalty area. This is not his most threatening place.
However, Coutinho quickly showed that even if his breakthrough and skills do not seem to be particularly good, he is also a Brazilian!
After taking the ball, he moved forward, and quickly swayed beautifully, passing Busquets, but Busquets can become the most suitable midfielder for Barcelona, and he will not be easily thrown away, so he quickly greeted Come up, and Alba also came from the side to make up for it, and soon formed a double team.
Faced with such double-teaming, Coutinho's forward momentum was eased. Seeing that Coutinho was forced to protect the ball on the spot, the Barcelona fans were relieved, thinking that this attack was just like that .
However, at the next moment, Coutinho cleverly knocked the ball out with his heel in a double-team!
The ball flew close to the corner of the penalty area, and Cancelo, who happened to be plugging in, received a pass from Coutinho and broke into the penalty area smoothly!
This gap in Barcelona's defense was quickly seized by Southampton!
Cancelo was unguarded, broke into the penalty area, and then passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area before Mascherano came to make up for it. Lukaku turned around and stopped the ball, and then immediately shot!
Facing the shot from close range, ter Stegen made a wonderful save. He quickly fell to the ground and blocked the ball with one hand, but Southampton's attack was not over yet, and Suarez appeared on the ball. On the rolling route, kicked easily and pushed the ball into the empty goal!
"goooooooal! Luiz-Suarez! An unpretentious supplementary shot! It's just that after a series of wonderful cooperation in front of Southampton, such a supplementary shot is needed! Suarez appeared at the most critical time. The key position! His No.13 Champions League goals this season! He also scored in the Champions Cup finals for two consecutive years!"
In the chanting of the commentator, Suarez rushed out with open arms, and other players who followed him rushed up one after another. They gathered under the stands where the Southampton fans were, celebrating heartily.
The Southampton fans celebrated their overtake with crazy shouts.
After being scored by the opponent in the first 3 minutes of the first half, they finally overtook the score!
"Two to one! Now Southampton has the advantage...but the game only lasted 5 minutes, and there are still 35 minutes to play! Barcelona still has enough time to equalize the score!"
"This is Suarez scoring in the final after two legs in the semi-final! He became the second player after Arjen Robben to score in both semi-finals and the final of the Champions League in the same season , After Jardl, Nedved and Obiola, the fourth player to score against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League in the same season! The 28-year-old Suarez is heading towards the pinnacle of his career! "
The Southampton players celebrated for about a minute before returning to their positions. Ji Ya was not excited at this time, he was thinking about what to do next...
After this goal, Southampton's morale was of course greatly boosted. Under such circumstances, there is no doubt that they should continue to attack, suppress the opponent's midfielder, and then strive to expand their lead in one go!
His team and his ideas coincided with each other.
After the game restarted, Southampton's pressing in the midfield was strengthened to another level, and then they kept running, fighting, and attacking...
Barcelona was beaten a little bit by them for a while.
First, Suarez took the ball back in the penalty area, Coutinho crossed again, Lukaku shot high from the front of the penalty area, and only 1 minute later, Alonso, who advanced and assisted, passed the ball to the center, followed by Germany. Browne took a sudden kick and shot was caught by Ter Stegen.
Mane also quickly created a shot opportunity. After receiving a pass from Coutinho, he flashed a gap horizontally and shot decisively, but the ball missed the baseline slightly.
"Southampton's offensive has become more and more fierce during this period! This is also their characteristic. After gaining an advantage, they will continue to chase and fight until they expand their advantage! How should Barcelona respond next?"
