Chapter 534 Three-minute storm

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Accompanied by the long sound of the goal from the live commentator, all Tottenham Hotspur fans rushed out of their seats and rushed to the stands fence quickly, and a surprise cheer occurred.

After seeing the goal, Ribery turned around and rushed out of the penalty area, and kept heading towards Tottenham Hotspur's side, which was dyed white by the fans' jerseys, stretched out his right hand and kept making a kiss.

"Frank Ribery Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal in the 24th minute by French left winger Frank Ribery. This is Tottenham Hotspur's second time in this game to score in Barcelona's penalty area, and they are also their second shot in this game, but they scored a goal."

"A very, very efficient goal, and it also came very suddenly. Tottenham Hotspur used a sudden acceleration from right back Alves to break out of Barcelona's defensive formation on the right."

The live TV camera kept replaying the entire process of the goal just now, and under the stands where Tottenham Hotspur fans were on, all Tottenham Hotspur players rushed towards Ribery, celebrating the Frenchman's goal.

"During the entire goal process, we can see Tottenham's offensive style. Messi used an off-ball run to pull off Mascherano, giving Van Persie a chance to go one-on-one with Pique, and Alves obviously passed the ball to find Van Persie, rather than Messi who was closer to the goal. Van Persie's two consecutive stops followed were all amazing."

"The two extremely skilled stops and then passed to Ribery. The Frenchman pushed the ball directly into the goal without any hesitation. It can be said that this attack not only reflects the technical skills of Tottenham Hotspur players, but also reflects the tacit understanding and excellent cooperation awareness of Tottenham Hotspur players.

All Tottenham Hotspur fans were shouting Ribery's name, and the French kept applauding the fans in the stands. Even though he had been absent due to injury for a long time this season, or was seriously out of shape, this group of fans still did not give up on him and still did not forget him.

"Perhaps Ribery used a blowing kiss to disintegrate the rumors about his desire to transfer to Real Madrid, because at Tottenham, he played in the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons and just won the Premier League championship. When he went to Real Madrid, he could get such an opportunity? Can he have such excellent teammates? And the tactics that suit him?"

The TV cameras were given to Guardiola. After seeing Ribery score, both of them showed a panic look. Guardiola rushed out of the command area directly, but this still could not stop Ribery's goal.

"For Barcelona, ​​this will be a very, very unfavorable goal because they will have to accept the situation of falling behind, and for Guardiola, losing one goal is the beginning of the nightmare, because he must now make a choice in the shortest time, should he push out the attack or choose to defend?"

"Time doesn't wait for anyone, the game starts again, what will Barcelona choose?"

It was obvious that Guardiola wanted to stabilize first, so he kept walking to the sidelines, waved his hand constantly, signaling the players to be calm and not to press forward, adopt defensive tactics, stabilize the situation first and then slowly fight back, and strive for a goal.

But Ye Qiu also looked very excited. He walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly at the players on the court. He even shouted loudly in English. The group of Tottenham Hotspur players who had just completed the goal celebration and returned to the stadium. "Continue to attack, don't relax, continue to press me up, attack."

After the game restarted, Tottenham Hotspur reversed the lazy and slackness that had just begun, but adopted a step-by-step pressing tactic, and directly pressed the defense line. The midfield and frontcourt launched a fierce press against Barcelona, ​​forcing Barcelona to speed up the pace from the beginning.

The five minutes after conceding the ball is often the easiest to concede the ball again, because the players' mentality and mental state are still in the turmoil when they just concealed the ball, and they are still trying to adjust their mentality. After all, 0:I is a completely different situation, especially in the Champions League final.

The lagging side will definitely start to worry about gains and losses at this moment, and begin to doubt whether their tactics are correct. The leading side will have a strong morale and even show the momentum of swallowing the opponent in one breath.

Of course, there are also some very tenacious teams who can overcome the pressure of falling behind well, and then use their opponents' momentum and slackness after scoring the goal to counterattack and equalize the score. However, there are very few such examples, and there are countless cases of conceding the goal again within five minutes after conceding the goal.

Just like Barcelona this time.

When Tottenham scored the first goal, when Tottenham Hotspur re-started, they reversed the steadily starting tactics and began to push up the whole game, and launched a crazy pressing against them like wolves and tigers. They were all obviously scared and began to feel a little at a loss, not knowing what method they should take to deal with it.

Tottenham Hotspur was forced to do a fierce pass, and Barcelona habitually passed back, but when the ball was about to pass from Busquets to Xavi, due to the influence of Fabregas and disturbance, Xavi had not received the ball, but was intercepted by David Silva in advance. After getting the ball, the latter passed the ball with a diagonal pass.

David Silva's pass was obviously on the right side of the small penalty area that was empty from Barcelona's defense line. Because after David Silva intercepted the ball, Messi cut in the middle and brought Abidal directly, while Van Persie ran to the right, pulled Mascherano away, and Ribery rushed into the penalty area.

Van Persie faced David Silva's half-high ball and gently raised his foot on the right side of the penalty area. The ball seemed to be very heavy and hit his feet, which rebounded slightly, but was quickly stopped by his chest.

Mascherano always sticks to Van Persie, he is peeking at the right time, and when he sees Van Persie stopping the ball with his body and stopping to the bottom line, he wisely chooses to let Van Persie take the ball out of the bottom line, so he continues to steadily stick to the position.

But Van Persie insisted on a stop-stop before the ball was about to go out of the baseline, and shook the ball away half of the position with Mascherano. Although the Argentinian stood very well, he stopped Van Persie from cutting inside and did not allow him to have any chance to directly threaten the goal, but after being shaken away for half of the position, he could not stop Van Persie from knocking back and Messi who inserted into the goal.

Messi stopped the ball behind Mascherano. Abidal was obviously shocked by Messi who suddenly rushed towards the goal again in the front of the penalty area. He lost to Messi in terms of explosive power and could only follow Messi.

After stopping the ball, Valdes chose to attack immediately without any hesitation, but Messi suddenly accelerated again and stabbed the ball before Valdes.

The ball was almost along a straight line, sticking to the grass in the small penalty area, and drilling straight into the lower left corner of the goal

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

"Oh my god, Leo Messi scored"

"In just less than three minutes, Tottenham Hotspur scored another goal."

"Two goals were scored in a row, this time it was Leo Messi. After receiving a knockback from Van Persie, he calmly shot through Valdes' defense and scored the second goal for Tottenham Hotspur, 0"

"In less than twenty-seven minutes in the first half, Tottenham Hotspur took a two-goal lead."

After Messi scored a goal, he rushed out of the penalty area wildly along the way and ran forward frantically. He actually ran directly to the coach's seat of the visiting team, rushed towards his head coach, and then hugged Ye Qiu directly.

Although Messi is small, he is very strong. He actually picked him up in the waist while Ye Qiu was not paying attention.

All Tottenham Hotspur players rushed out of the stadium and rushed to the coaching seat, each of them tightly surrounding Ye Qiu and Messi. All Tottenham Hotspur fans in the game once again let out deafening shouts.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Tottenham did not play well at the start, but they used only three minutes to burst out crazy attack power. With the cooperation of the frontcourt trident and the excellent personal ability of the players, they beat Barcelona's defense line."

"Let's look at the whole process of scoring the goal, from the intercepting the ball, to Van Persie's sudden stop and spike after stopping the ball, knocking back, Messi inserted it, calmly shot, the whole process happened in the blink of an eye, but Tottenham Hotspur once again expanded the score on the field with a lightning attack speed."

"Messi, and Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Ye Qiu"

A close-up of Ye Qiu and Messi appeared in the live TV camera. Now Ye Qiu's Versace suit is obviously covered with the players' sweat. Fortunately, he doesn't have to pay for this brand suit, otherwise, I believe he will feel distressed.

"There were reports that Messi will transfer to Manchester City this summer. There have been media reports that Messi's agent and his father. Jorge Messi secretly met with Barcelona's senior executives before the game, which made many people suspect that Messi will transfer to Barcelona in the summer."

"But no matter what the pre-match rumors or how the transfer market operates after the game, Messi used his outstanding performance to prove that he is indeed the most trusted core attacker in the team for Tottenham fans. He is also using his celebration to express to everyone his gratitude to Tottenham and Ye Qiu.

"Sometimes, the operation of the transfer market is not enough to explain the players' true emotions. It seems that if Messi really transfers, it doesn't mean there is a problem between him and Ye Qiu. He uses this hug to tell everyone that he and Ye Qiu are still the best master and apprentice."

"There is another player worth noting in this game that is Van Persie. Strictly speaking, although Ribery and Messi scored goals, their performance was not very good, especially Ribery. However, Van Persie's performance in this game was impressive. He contributed two assists, and both times reflected his exquisite stopping skills and very solid basic skills."

The players on the court are still celebrating, the referee is already calling them to return to the court, and the live camera is repeatedly replaying the two assists from Van Persie just now.

"Some people are now evaluating Van Persie and Ibrahimovic. To be honest, these are two more alternative technical attackers in football today. However, compared with Ibrahimovic's position as the center of the arrow and assume the core responsibility of the team's offensive, Van Persie's tactical role will be relatively weak, and his physical fitness is not as good as Ibrahimovic."

"Ibrahimovic is the kind of center who is very strong and has a delicate skill. He can seize opportunities and not have the chance to create opportunities. He can adapt to almost any team's tactics, but the premise is that you have to attack around him so that he can exert his strongest combat power."

"Relatively speaking, Van Persie is relatively weak in tactical role. He does not have the physical fitness of Ibrahimovic, which is a disadvantage in the opponent's penalty area. However, his running support awareness, passing and stopping awareness are outstanding, which allows him to use interspersed running in the frontcourt to create opportunities and catch the ball passed by his teammates from any angle."

"It's hard to say which of the two players is better, because they meet two different tactical styles, but in general, Van Persie's tactical adaptability will be stronger. After all, Ibrahimovic needs the team to organize the offense around him, and Van Persie can play in the middle of the frontcourt, the wing, and the second striker."

It seemed as if he was frightened by the momentum that Tottenham scored two goals in three minutes. After re-telection, Guardiola began to consciously keep the team's three lines tight and lay out the lineup at the front of the penalty area of ​​the goal.

It is obvious that Guardiola has been shocked by Tottenham Hotspur's two consecutive attacks. I believe that before scoring the goal, he would never have thought that the situation would be so twisted. Otherwise, he would definitely strictly abide by the pre-match arrangements, attacking for five minutes and closing for five minutes, so that he might not have lost the first goal.

Without losing the first ball, the second ball can naturally be avoided

But it's too late to say anything now. Guardiola knows very well that Barcelona had been completely lost in the first half by Tottenham Hotspur. What he needs to do now is not a goal, but to stabilize the situation first, and then adopt the strategy formulated before the game to let Tottenham Hotspur press forward.

But Tottenham Hotspur didn't seem to be in a hurry. After scoring two goals in a row, seeing Barcelona adopting an orderly contraction defense, Ye Qiu quickly signaled the team to stabilize and began to adopt a tactical strategy of steady play after the opening game in an orderly manner.

The key finals, the word "stable" is the first

Now with two goals in hand, Ye Qiu is more qualified to waste time slowly than Guardiola, because this is beneficial to Tottenham Hotspur, and it is best to spend it directly until the end of the game, and Tottenham Hotspur will defeat the opponent.

But it may be that the continuous rapid offensives in just three minutes made Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands exclaim. Now seeing both sides slow down a little, this group of fans from England were shouting for offense and goals.

Hearing the fans' voices, Ye Qiu shook his head at Mauro Tasotti with a wry smile, "If we press on and fight now, it would be like we run into the trap of Barcelona. They would like us to press on and attack wildly now, which would be the most beneficial to them."

If it weren't for the Champions League final, Ye Qiu would have agreed to continue the attack, but this is a Champions League final, and winning the game steadily is the first, so he still signaled the players to adopt a patient and steady tactics on the sidelines.

After scoring two goals in a row, Barcelona's ball possession rate dropped sharply, and Tottenham's ball possession time kept rising. If we simply calculate the ball possession rate after scoring two goals in a row, Tottenham Hotspur almost Gundam is because Barcelona is a bit passive and passes and catch mistakes have increased significantly. Tottenham Hotspur uses the ball control in the backcourt, allowing Barcelona to push it out and grab it.

But the problem is, Barcelona just doesn't want to grab it too fiercely

Time passed by minute by minute. Perhaps it was because we saw both sides playing very well in the first half, and there was no interruption in the game. And both sides obviously had lost the idea of ​​continuing to make progress in the end, so the referee from Switzerland, Busaka only gave one minute of stoppage time and then announced that the first half would end early.

"This is almost a performance venue for Tottenham Hotspur's storm-style offensive." The commentator was a little helpless, but he thought it was normal, because this was the Champions League final, and for Tottenham Hotspur, as long as he wins his opponent, they will become the first goal to successfully defend the Champions League since the reform of the Champions League in 2018.

"The first twenty minutes of the game are very compact, and they always give people the feeling that a storm is coming soon. It is more like a brewing and a dormant waiting for the opportunity. But at that time it was difficult for us to tell who the hunter was and who was the prey, until Tottenham suddenly accelerated the attack and directly broke through Barcelona's goal."

"At the critical moment, the overall strength of the team and the individual strength of the players played a key role in this showdown. After Tottenham Hotspur scored, the defending champion team was obviously more experienced than this group of players in Barcelona and better at dealing with such a situation, so they continued to strengthen their offense after scoring the goal and quickly won the second goal."

"Here, we have to mention Guardiola. This game was obviously restricted by Ye Qiu's tactics. Although he maintained an active attack for twenty minutes after the opening, he did not create any threats. If he was an experienced head coach, he should see danger at this time and should choose to stabilize the defense, but he did not have such a sense of crisis."

Speaking of this, the live commentator shook his head and sighed: "Perhaps, the young Guardiola is paying tuition for his lack of experience, and we all have reason to believe that after taking two goals, as long as Tottenham Hotspur does not make any mistakes in the second half, Barcelona will have a chance to reverse."
