(Open today, make up for it tomorrow)

The first half ended quickly after Chen Badminton scored. There was only two minutes of stoppage time, and Barcelona couldn't do anything at all. Even if they wanted to score a goal and could score a goal, they could only wait for the second half.

When Barcelona players left the court, there was no applause in the Camp Nou stands. The 1:1 score could not satisfy the picky Barcelona fans. These fans did not boo to Barcelona players because the scene was acceptable. If even the scene was lost, Barcelona players would probably not have a good life at their home court.

Liverpool players were standing applauded by Liverpool fans. Although Liverpool fell behind in all data in addition to goals and fouls, as long as they scored, Liverpool fans were satisfied. Liverpool has never been a team with beautiful playing style. At best, it can be described as passion. Therefore, Liverpool fans never pursue how good the game plays. As long as they can win, they can win with big scores.

Chen Yu, who scored a goal, also became the favorite and grateful player for Liverpool fans. When Chen Yu entered the mixed channel, almost all Liverpool fans were waving at him and shouting his name. Chen Yu was also excited to wave to the fans.

At the door of the locker room, Liverpool coach Benitez shook hands with the players one by one to praise their outstanding performance in the game. Chen Yu was the last one to come. Benitez stepped forward and held Chen Yu tightly, "Chen! You played so well! That goal is so critical. With this goal, most of our mission to Barcelona has been completed."

Chen Yu was in a good mood, and he smiled and said, "If Barcelona still plays like this in the second half, we still have hope of winning."

Benitez patted Chen Yu on the back and said with a smile: "I dare not think about winning the ball, it would be great if there is a draw."

Back in the locker room, Benitez did not praise or talk about the performance of Liverpool players in the first half. Instead, he pointed out the problems they made in the first half and hoped that they would not commit in the second half.

"...We scored in the first half and tied the strong Barcelona. This does not mean that we played well. There is no need to change. In fact, if Chen Yu did not score this key goal, we could only say that we played badly in the first half, but luck will not take care of us forever. We must play better in the second half, and we cannot be a little slack..."

In the visiting team's locker room, Benitez really encourages fake beating, hoping that his players can continue to work hard in the second half and strive to get better results while ensuring their advantage in the first half.

In the home team's locker room, Barcelona's head coach Rijkaard was really angry. He criticized him in person without caring about the face of any player.

"Where did we lose in the first half? We lost in the midfield and couldn't hold the ball. We were in good condition and we were in a while. We couldn't put pressure on Liverpool in forty-five minutes, so we got several opportunities. You guys like Chen Yu, you know that as long as you give him a chance, he can score goals. We must not give him a chance. Even if you pay the price of fouls, Crouch's header is excellent. However, his problem is that he is weak. We just need to rely on him and not let him jump smoothly... In addition, I don't ask you to have the opponent's striker Chen's strong goal-scoring ability, but I believe that as long as we can create enough opportunities, we will score more goals than them..."

Rijkaard is not a very strict coach. He mostly adopts a very gentle attitude towards players. Today, he is already very strict in scolding his players, which also reflects Rijkaard's anxious mentality.

In fact, it is no wonder that in the league, Barcelona is now under pressure by Real Madrid and Valencia. In the Champions League, they encountered Liverpool, who had never won at home. Now at the end of the first half, Barcelona and Liverpool drew, and a away goal was stolen by Liverpool. If this situation cannot be changed in the second half, Barcelona will be in a tragedy today.

Barcelona players all lowered their heads and didn't say anything. They also knew their current situation very well, but they didn't think they played poorly, but believed that Liverpool could score because of their good luck. If Barcelona were lucky, the score would not be what they are now.

In addition, Barcelona players also have some resentment towards coach Rijcard. For example, Etoo, the striker who scored the most goals, only sat in the stands. If Etoo is there, Barcelona would definitely not score only one goal when his opponent plays so passively. Moreover, Barcelona players believe that Liverpool coach Benitez has prepared more fully than Rijcard, because although their scenes are good, they do not have many real scoring opportunities. Benitez made 541 deployments in this game.

To be detailed, it is 5311. There are eight players in the defense, only Bellamy and Chen Yu, Crouch, and more involved in the offense, while Gerald is a midfielder. This arrangement has curbed Barcelona's sharp wing attack. Except for the first goal, he rarely creates threats on the wing at other moments. The defense of Sissoko and Alonso in the middle greatly compresses Barcelona's offensive space, especially Mali international Sissoko, whose excellent interception ability greatly limits Ronaldinho's performance.

Barcelona players hope to change the current situation in the second half, but Rijkaard is not a coach with strong on-the-spot command ability. He plays more according to the tactical plan formulated before the game, and does not make targeted arrangements for the formation style and personnel.

The fifteen minutes of the halftime break passed quickly, and the players from Barcelona and Liverpool came out of the locker room.

This time, when I walked out of the locker room, the atmosphere at the scene was completely different. The shouts and shouts of Liverpool fans suppressed the Barcelona fans, while the Barcelona fans watched coldly to see how these players performed in the second half.

The atmosphere on the court is different, and the mentality of the players is also different. After Barcelona kicks off, they press the overall situation forward and quickly push the battlefield to Liverpool's half. They still hope to attack around Liverpool's penalty area like in the first half, using the accumulation of numbers to achieve the goal.

However, Liverpool's mentality and morale were no longer comparable to the first half. Although they were suppressed by Barcelona to their own half, Liverpool's players did not take the initiative to retreat. Their forwards Chen Yu and Crouch were still standing on the same position as Barcelona's back line, while other players pressed against Barcelona in the half, preventing Barcelona from organizing the offense calmly.

In the 46th minute of the game, Mota fouled against Gerald, who was bravely forward in the backcourt. Gerald took the free kick himself. His free kick shot from 30 yards was confiscated by Valdes.

Valdes made Chen Yu score a goal in the first half. He was very eager for the team to overtake the score and defeat Liverpool. After getting the ball, he kicked the ball and drove to the frontcourt with a big foot.

However, such a high-altitude ball has no effect on Liverpool. The ball was pushed out by Carragher at the front of Liverpool's penalty area. When it fell to the midfield, after several headers, it finally fell to Gerald's feet. Gerald did not perform well in the first half. In the second half, he became proactive and dribbled the ball and rushed directly to Barcelona's half.

Xavi stepped forward to intercept, but was forced to take it by Gerald. Then Mota came to snatch it again impatiently, but did not touch the ball, but tackled Gerald. The referee showed him a yellow card and gave Liverpool a free kick again.

This free kick is not far from the center circle, and there is no way to shoot directly. Alonso takes the free kick, and he passes it directly into the penalty area, allowing his teammates to compete for the top.

What Barcelona fears most is the high-altitude ball. After the ball was passed to the penalty area, Barcelona's penalty area was in chaos again. More than a dozen people were competing for the header in the penalty area. In the end, the ball was pushed by the highest Crouch. However, under the opponent's clamping defense, Crouch pushed it outrageously, and the ball was directly higher than two meters above the crossbar.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Barcelona played a beautiful cooperation in Liverpool's half. After they poured the ball continuously, Deco got the chance to shoot, but was knocked down by Chen Yu who was back. The referee verbally warned Chen Yu and awarded a free kick of 27 or meter.

The free kick was taken by Ronaldo, but today's Ronaldo is in average shape, and his free kick quality is not high, and the ball misses the post far away.

Seeing that the scene was unstoppable, Liverpool continued to strengthen the pressing, which made Barcelona's offense paralyzed. Rijkald had to make substitution adjustments early. He replaced the defensive midfielder Mota who received a yellow card with an attacking forward, and continued to strengthen his attacking power.

Iniesta is not tall and not strong. His capital to gain a foothold in Barcelona is his ability to break through the dribbling. Rijcard changed him to hope that he could tear a hole in Liverpool's iron barrel formation.

After Iniesta took the field, he broke through Liverpool's midfielder Sissoko with a beautiful fried croquette on the side, and then broke into the penalty area along the ribs. At that time, Iniesta could already shoot, but Iniesta seemed to have no shot button, and he actually passed it to Saviola in the middle.

Saviola was a little prepared, and she missed the ball close by and missed a good opportunity to shoot.

However, although the midfielder of Iniesta, Xavi and Deco are not strong enough, their skills are one level higher than Liverpool. Their smooth cooperation and strong personal assault ability make Liverpool's half-time pressing tactics difficult. Head coach Benitez once again decisively ordered the players to recover, return to the dangerous area of ​​30 meters, narrow the space, and increase the pressing of Barcelona's midfielder

After Liverpool contracted its defense again, the attack difficulty of Barcelona players became increasingly difficult, while Liverpool's counterattack became increasingly sharp. In the 68th minute of the game, Crouch and Chen Yu quickly pressed Barcelona's defender. Max rushed back to goalkeeper Valdes. Valdes' brain was short-circuited and actually took Max's return pass with his hand. The referee decisively awarded an indirect free kick in the penalty area.

This was a very dangerous free kick, and all the Barcelona fans stood up nervously.

Liverpool made a free kick, Alonso passed the ball, and Gerald followed and shot strongly, but Valdes made up for the trick. He magically saved Gerald's shot, the ball bounced out, and Chen Yu followed and shot, but the ball hit Zambrota and deflected above the crossbar.
