Chapter 351 Goal does not mean victory

Xu Qi's wanton celebration at the Camp Nou naturally triggered the home fans' strong lā

They responded to Xu Qi with booing.

But Xu Qi seemed to be enjoying the booing of nearly 100,000 fans at him.

In his opinion, this is not an attack, but a kind of praise!

Guardiola on the sidelines also frowned for the conceding goal, obviously he was quite unhappy about it.

He was dissatisfied with Xu Qi being able to break through and pull the ball horizontally in his penalty area.

Pique was completely broken through by Xu Qi, and Puyol was restrained by Soldado at that time. At this time, Xu Qi was naturally given space for performance.

This goal made Barcelona a little embarrassed at home.

However, after the kickoff in the middle circle, the Barcelona players with strong hearts and confidence were still slow and did not panic at all.

As a king's army who has won all the championships and all the honors, I have never seen any scenes. I just lost the goal in a La Liga game. In their opinion, this is not a problem, after all, it is just the first half.

They still have the ability to launch a storm-like attack on Valencia's defense zone in the following time.

However, it is not the time yet. They will continue their tactics and use the ball-control tactics they are good at to destroy the will of Valencia until the team is loose and short.

As the team's commander tower, whenever Xavi gets the ball, the rhythm of the entire Barcelona team will enter Xavi's control. The feeling is that as long as Xavi gets the ball, everyone will immediately know what to do next.

This is the so-called metronome. He will control the rhythm of the game after such a loss of the ball occurs and calm his teammates down.

Next, Valencia's players clearly felt that their team's formation was compressed into a pie shape.

Barcelona passed from the left to the right, and from the right to the left, constantly mobilizing the Valencia team.

Fortunately, Valencia's team is still focused and there is no room for Barcelona to take advantage of yet.

Barcelona also has enough patience, and they have a strong psychological advantage.

Among the six matches between the two teams in the past three seasons, Barcelona won four games and tied two games, and remained unbeaten.

The two sides have had 150 matches in history, with Barcelona also having the upper hand in 72 wins, 38 draws and 40 losses.

Although Barcelona seemed to have an advantage, forty minutes later, Valencia made another counterattack.

This time, Mathieu made a cross from the frontcourt on the left, and Valdes made a mistake in his attack. Fortunately, Puyol hurriedly cleared the ball, otherwise the ball would be brought in by Soldado again.

If Barcelona falls behind two goals, they may have a headache.

Barcelona will not panic if they fall behind with one goal. They are probably going to panic if they fall behind with two goals.

Emery's formation also changed according to the game situation.

Now he is not stingy with investing troops on the offensive end.

As long as Valencia gets an offensive opportunity, Alba will immediately become a full-back position, while Mathieu will insert the identity of a full-back.

In this way, Alba and Mathieu will make the offense on the left more three-dimensional, while Valencia arranged Xu Qi on the right. When attacking, Xu Qi was even more threatening than two people. Marxville was already embarrassed by him.

Finally, at the end of the first half, Barcelona fell behind the score by zero.

After the second half began, Guardiola made a substitution adjustment.

He replaced Marxville, who had no choice but to take Xu Qi, and also had a yellow card in his hand, replaced the wing player Adriano who had turned back from Sevilla.

In fact, Guardiola also sat on the bench with more outstanding defensive skills. Abidal was resting in this game, and he was the main force of the team. However, Guardiola obviously believes that Adriano's speed is a magic weapon to restrain Xu Qi.

Xu Qi once had the same game against Sevilla against Adriano last season. Xu Qi also knew this wing player who was stronger than Marxville.

He didn't think that if this side was replaced by Adriano, he would do anything to him!

However, Barcelona's offensive was mainly concentrated on the right. First, Alves broke into the front of the penalty area and sent a straight pass for Villa. Villa successfully counterattacked and swept across the goal, and the ball was cleared by Navarro.

Villa seemed more active after the opening of the second half.

In fact, Villa, like Xu Qi, just got back from the red card, and he also received a red card in the previous round of the league.

This is also a coincidence.

Finally, less than five minutes into the second half, Barcelona finally found the gap in Valencia's defense.

In fact, this ball was originally an offensive opportunity for Valencia. After Xu Qi got the ball on the right, he quickly found the gap in Barcelona's defense and then sent a wonderful pass for Soldado. After Soldado counterattacked, the inverted triangle crossed the penalty spot. However, the excellent opportunity in front of Hernandez was saved by Valdes!

Such a good opportunity was wasted, but Barcelona fought back.

This seems to be Barcelona's strategy of drawing snakes out of the hole.

Barcelona players passed the ball to the frontcourt after three passes and two passes. At this time, Valencia's defense line was obviously a little confused. On the left side, Iniesta dribbled the ball against several people and calmly passed the ball to Xavi on his right. Xavi passed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping!

The moment Xavi passed the ball, Villa was actually standing in the penalty area, but he was already in an offside position, so he had no intention of touching the ball.

At this time, Iniesta actually got out of a group of Valencia's defender players, successfully counterattacked and easily stopped the ball, creating a single shot opportunity!

Facing Cesar, Iniesta pushed the ball into the far corner with a single shot!

Iniesta scored!

Barcelona tied the score, and the score on the field is 1-1.

At this time, Camp Nou was naturally filled with joy!

The equalization of the score is not good news for Valencia, who has defended the entire first half.

Moreover, after the start of the second half, Barcelona's offensive obviously became even more intense.

Xu Qi looked at the place where Iniesta scored, shook his head helplessly. He could only sigh that he could not defend himself. In fact, Valencia's defenders were basically taken to the vicinity of Xavi and Iniesta, but the two of them still completed a wall-style cooperation. Such an easy anti-offside success was really helpless.

Sometimes, it's only half a beat away and something will happen!
Chapter completed!
