As it turned out, Gao Han had indeed guessed Zidane's intention correctly.

After the start of the second half, Chinatown really pushed up the ball. The frontcourt trident even forced Barcelona's defense line, and Kante and Isco's position was closer to Barcelona's 30-meter area, striving to win the ball in a more threatening area.

The transformation of Chinatown has caused Barcelona's defense to be in great trouble and seems to be in a difficult situation.

At this time, Ilia La Mendi, as a drag-back midfielder, not only firmly protects the defense line, but also shows threats in the field of passes, passing faster and more precisely, which also improves the team's frontcourt offense.

This also forced Barcelona to retreat again and again.

It was presented on the court, after the start of the second half, Chinatown suddenly dominated the scene, over half, firmly suppressing Barcelona, ​​and having the momentum to eat away the opponent in one go.

This is undoubtedly a double-edged sword, which may both hurt the enemy, but may also hurt yourself.

Just when everyone was nervous, Ilia La Mendi once again took the ball from the back of the midfield and passed the ball over the top and sent the ball into the right side of Barcelona's penalty area, wanting to find Griezmann.

This kick was very accurate, but Pique's reaction was quick and intercepted the ball before Griezmann. However, under Griezmann's harassment, he had to choose to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Morata rushed towards Valdes at the first time, forcing the Barcelona goalkeeper not to let the ball stay at his feet. Before the ball came, he directly came forward and passed the ball to the left.

As soon as the ball arrived, Griezmann forced him over and Alba cleared the ball to the frontcourt immediately.

Pedro retreated from the left to his half, pushing Alba's clearance back to the midfield and giving Iniesta.

As soon as Iniesta received the ball, Kante rushed to his side, which scared the Barcelona player. He quickly turned around to protect the ball and brought it back. However, without taking two steps, Griezmann surrounded him again, and two Chinese City players attacked from front to back.

There were no suitable ball-out points around, and the pass line was blocked. Iniesta wanted to take the ball out by himself, but unexpectedly, Kante rushed out from the diagonal stab, and one of them fell to the ground to put the shovel and poked the ball away.

After Griezmann got the ball, he directly scored it to the right side of the penalty area.

Morata ran over to pick him up, and before Pique could approach, he suddenly accelerated, pulled away his position, and directly crossed the right foot.

The ball fell to the front of the small penalty area, Hazard inserted diagonally from the left rib, Isco stepped forward from the outside of the penalty area, and the two Chinatown players all came to the landing point of the ball.

This scene made the entire Brock Stadium exclaim.

…………

…………

"Chinatown intercepted the ball to form a counterattack, and the speed was very fast."

"Morata, cross from the right..."

"Isco, no..."

“Hazar…”

"The ball is in!!!"

"!!!"

“Eden Hazard!”

"In the 54th minute of the second half, Chinatown took the lead in knocking on Barcelona's goal!"

"This is a goal-grabbing point from Belgian player Hazard."

"Oh my God, Morata's cross was very comfortable. Isco couldn't catch up in the middle, but Hazard was very timely at the back point and stabbed the ball into the goal before Alves."

"Valdes can do nothing about such a close shot!"

"One to zero, Chinatown scored first in the second half."

"This is definitely a painful blow for Barcelona. After the start of the second half, they played too passively."

"Let's review the goal just now."

"Iniesta is a bit too sticky. In this case, excessive dribbling is often very dangerous, but he did not pass the ball out immediately, so Kante successfully intercepted the ball."

"Kante, this French midfielder, used to play for Paris Saint-Germain, but he was truly familiar after he switched to Chinatown. He is known as the new Marklele and has been praised by Marklele, who is currently the assistant coach of Chinatown. He believes that Kante's future may be stronger than him."

"And with Griezmann, his active pressing is also quite threatening, and Morata's running is also very smart, but we should not forget the hero behind this attack, Ilia Lamendi."

"The long pass from the top just now was fast and urgent. He directly crossed the midfield and sent it into Barcelona's penalty area, and then pushed the entire midfield and frontcourt pressing and oppressing advance of Chinatown."

"It should be said that Barcelona's defense line is too easy to be torn."

"Bousquets has performed well this season, but his defense has always been his weakness. This was not very obvious when Barcelona could control the ball steadily, but now his problem is constantly being exposed and even being exploited by his opponents."

…………

…………

After Hazard scored, everyone in Chinatown fell into a carnival.

Cantalero looked at Gao Han even more admiringly.

Whether as the head coach or as a bystander, Gao Han's eyesight is impeccable.

"Now there are only two roads before Martino."

Gao Han looked at the visiting team coach's seat on the stadium. Martino looked a little angry after conceding the ball and kept shouting at the players on the field. However, the sound of the scene was too loud and it was hard to hear clearly in the stands, but it was not a good thing to say.

"Which two?" Cantalero asked with concern.

Gao Han raised his lips, "Either strengthen the midfield defense to make the team play more concisely, or continue to pass and control, but the backcourt defense needs to be strengthened, especially at Busquets."

Conciseness represents efficiency.

Zidane arranged two midfielders in this game, which seemed conservative, but in fact it was to deal with Barcelona's weaknesses. This is also the place where the French coach is more flexible. He is almost unconstrained in any tactics and forms.

However, when the team needs it, he will push it out without hesitation, just like an adjustment during the halftime break, and a sudden snatch in the second half was definitely a brilliant stroke, which caught Barcelona off guard.

Sure enough, when the time was almost sixty minutes, Martino let the two players walk to the sidelines and ready to replace them at any time.

One is Fabregas, and the other is Rakitic.

This made Gao Han look at him with some admiration.

"Everyone said that Martino lacked personality, but he didn't know that at this time, Rakitic was the biggest personality."

So far this season, Martino's coaching performance is not bad, but it still has caused countless criticism. One of the important reasons is his use of Rakitic.

The Croatian cannot integrate into Barcelona's pass control system, but his comprehensiveness can better balance Barcelona's midfield.

Martino has always trusted Rakitic, but has offended many people because of this.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to die, Barcelona replaced two players in one breath, one was Pedro and the other was Iniesta, which also showed Martino's attitude. He hoped that the team would become more balanced and more concise.

But to a certain extent, this is also a battle he started against many local players.

"The courage is commendable, but..." Gao Han shook his head helplessly.

When such a force that was so powerful that even Guardiola could not shake, Martino's fate was completely imagined.

After Iniesta and Pedro came out, they didn't even look at Martino and went straight to the player channel.

If Barcelona's internal contradictions are not obvious when losing to Ajax, then the contradictions are obvious until now in this game.

Cantalero also knew in his heart that Martino was just a poor scapegoat.

"I guess he will only last until this season at most. Maybe as the media said, he will not be able to survive this winter break."

Gao Han nodded slightly.

Martino is a very capable head coach, but unfortunately, he coached the wrong team at the wrong time, which was a tragedy.

…………

…………

After Barcelona replaced two players in a row, Chinatown also followed suit.

But unlike Martino's substitution, Zidane played the whole game in the middle of the week, and Kante, who had almost exhausted his physical fitness, replaced him with Cork, and the team played more control overall.

Martino's substitutions were also very effective. Fabregas made the team's offense come into play, while Rakitic stabilized the midfield and protected the defense line. Both substitutions basically met Martino's expectations.

But unfortunately, after Zidane's substitution, the offense became sharper and more dangerous.

On the contrary, Barcelona, ​​including Xavi and Busquets, after the substitution, perhaps because of excessive physical energy consumption, or because of their dissatisfaction with the head coach's substitution, they all showed a little downturn and were not excited enough, which made the game easily controlled by Chinatown.

The score of one to zero was finally maintained until the end of the game.

In the end, Chinatown defeated Barcelona one-to-zero with Hazard's key win.

When the referee's whistle rang out, the entire Brock Stadium suddenly became jubilant.

All the fans cheered wildly, and the players in Chinatown were also celebrating with utmost care.

The defeat of Barcelona 1-0 means that Chinatown returned to the top of the La Liga standings after more than a month of separation with three points in this game.

Due to the other two games played the day before, Atletico Madrid beat Elche 2-0 away, Real Madrid defeated Valladolid four-0 at home, and both Madrid won one after another.

In other words, after the fifteenth round of matches, Chinatown reversed Barcelona with the advantage of two points, and Atletico Madrid once again caught up with Barcelona with three-pointers in this round. The two teams accumulated 40 points, but since the two teams had not played games yet, Barcelona ranked second in accordance with goal difference, and the bed sheets team was forced to fall into third.

Real Madrid scored 34 points, ranking fourth.

If the Champions League loss to Ajax made Barcelona's advantage of qualifying from the top spot in the Champions League group was shaken, then this round lost to Chinatown. After two consecutive losses, Barcelona also gave up the top spot in the La Liga standings.

But more importantly, the contradictions within Barcelona's team were fully exposed in this game.

Especially the attitude of Iniesta and Pedro towards Martino after the game, combined with the rumors of the media and fans before the game, they have clearly told everyone that Barcelona this season is internal and external troubles.

On the contrary, in Chinatown, Zidane's arrangement and on-site command in this game were both admirable. He scored three points and reversed Barcelona to top the list, which can be said to be well deserved.
