During the halftime break, Lucescu's face was not very bad. In the half game, he was one goal behind the strong Barcelona team. In fact, this situation was better than expected.

Lucescu still expressed some encouragement to the players. After all, he must first ensure that the players' psychology does not fluctuate too much. It is necessary for the team to not collapse in the second half. Only if they do not collapse can they have a little chance of equalizing the score.

With Barcelona leading the way, it is a very difficult task to equalize the score, but they can only face the challenge.

The second half of the game changed sides and neither side replaced the players after the half-time break.

The game continued, and there was nothing to say about the process. Barcelona was still in control of the situation. The Donetsk miners could only deal with it. Although they were the backward side, they were helpless in the face of such a situation.

This is a real technical gap. Barcelona players can achieve the ultimate in terms of details such as stopping the ball, passing the ball, and running without the ball.

Perhaps from the overall perspective, the Barcelona team was not in their best form because the season just started, especially after the start of the second half, their turnovers increased, but despite this, it was still difficult for the Donetsk Miners to get a quick attack opportunity.

They often need to launch a quick counterattack immediately after getting the ball. However, Barcelona's counterattack of the siege after losing the ball was too fast. Before the Donetsk Miners passed the ball, Barcelona retaliated back.

"Although they are the ball-controlling side, their running distance is not less than us." Xu Qi sighed. Barcelona's midfielders are indeed too capable of running. Although Ibrahimovic and Messi in the frontcourt do not run much, although Barcelona's midfielders are controlling the ball, all of them are running without the ball, so their running distance is not less than that of the Donetsk Miners, who have been on defense.

This also proves from one aspect that even if you compete in physical fitness, Barcelona's physical fitness must have an advantage.

On the other hand, Barcelona's running is active, while Donetsk Miners' running is passive defense. These two different running methods can also widen the physical fitness gap between the two teams.

After all, the Donetsk miners ran with the ball, and Barcelona kept using the transfer ball to mobilize, so their physical energy consumption was much greater.

In the second half, it would be difficult for the Donetsk Miners to tie the score at such a disadvantage!

But they really have to run and have to fight. If they don’t fight, they can’t grab the ball.

Xu Qi, William and Douglas Costa kept attacking Barcelona's ball-handling players.

Whenever Barcelona midfielders feel that the defense ahead is too dense, they will always pass back, reorganize, or attract the Donetsk Miners' midfield to gain greater transmission space for their offense.

Indeed, every time the Donetsk Miners players rushed out, they would be quickly used by Barcelona and calmly created some chances of winning.

However, the Donetsk Miners were lucky because during this period, neither Henry's push shot nor Ibrahimov's heel shot, they did not break through the goal guarded by Piatov.

The scores are in a stalemate like one to zero.

Moreover, facing such intensive defense, many of Barcelona's teams will slow down after cooperating with Ibrahimovic's feet, which also prevents Barcelona from scoring through the sudden acceleration of the offense in the frontcourt, which they are very good at.

After eighty minutes, Guardiola made its first substitution adjustment. The one who replaced it was their biggest signing of the summer, No. 9 Ibrahimovic!

The one who played was also the young talent trained by the La Macia Youth Training Camp in Barcelona, ​​Boyang!

A young player who claims to be more talented than Messi.

As the game was about to end, the leading Barcelona team actually made an adjustment to the striker, which made the players of the Donetsk Miners look at each other. The substitution felt that they didn't like to win one to zero, and wanted to win more.

But I think so, a super giant defeated a Ukrainian team 1-0, and this result really doesn't satisfy them.

This time, Harvey once again passed it back to Pique, trying to attract Xu Qi and others.

Xu Qi, William and others knew it was a plan, but they had to rush out to fight. Fortunately, they still have enough physical energy to do a few quick presses.

Barcelona's young newcomer central defender Pique is also quite steady. He bypassed Adriano who pressed him and passed the ball to Keita. Facing Fernandinho's press, Keita returned to pass and handed it to Abidal.

Abidal also stopped the ball steadily at this time, and then Douglas Costa rushed over again.

The strong Abidal leaned against Douglas Costa with his back and was about to pass Pique back again. This is their idea. Every time the Donetsk miners start pressing, they use the return pass to consume the Miners' physical strength until they walk the Miners' players until they dare not rob them or have no strength to rob them.

However, the moment Abidal sent back Pique, Xu Qi activated and rushed up with his super fast acceleration.

In fact, Abidal had observed the surroundings before passing the ball, but at that time, Xu Qi happened to take advantage of Abidal's angle of sight and hid behind Yaya Toure. Using Yaya Toure's tall body, Xu Qi hid himself.

In this way, Abidal chose to return Pique without hesitation.

Then, Xu Qi activated it, and he suddenly flashed from Yaya Toure's side and rushed towards Pique's front.

When Pique saw Abidal's return pass and Xu Qi rushing towards him, he felt panicked and accelerated and wanted to deal with the ball quickly. If the ball was intercepted by Xu Qi at this position, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although they are Barcelona, ​​it is useless to face a single shot.

Perhaps their goalkeeper Valdes is good at attacking, but their formation is too strong. Even if Valdes attacks, it will probably be useless.

Pique's speed is naturally inferior to Xu Qi, and Xu Qi's start is earlier, which makes him hit the ball earlier.

Pique would never allow Xu Qi to steal the ball and then pass by himself. After all, Pique has an inertia to rush forward. If he cannot stop Xu Qi at the first time, then the large open space behind him will become a prairie where Xu Qi gallops!

So, before Xu Qi touched the ball, Pique waded across the ground, preparing to destroy the ball by tackle, and even shoveled Xu Qi together.

At this time, if Xu Qi is tackled by Pique, it will be just a set piece near the midfield and a yellow card for Pique. It will have no meaning to the Donetsk Miners.
