Coaching legend

The calm before the storm.

The second half began, and it was indeed the calm before the storm.

The first ten minutes looked dull. Barcelona's possession rate at this time reached an astonishing 84%. But there was only one shot. Because Barcelona was just controlling the ball there, basically crossing horizontally, without deep passes.

Blackburn fans saw Barcelona constantly passing the ball there, so they kept booing.

Even the commentators kept yawning.

This game is too boring.

Although one team defended and the other team attacked fiercely in the first half. But at least the game was back and forth, and it was still very good to watch.

But look at the second half, Barcelona passed the ball there, and Blackburn players didn't rush to grab it.

What are they doing?

But George on the sidelines didn't dare to neglect it at all. In the first half, George was still sitting firmly in his seat. But in the second half, George kept walking around on the sidelines. Barcelona's hypnotic tactics started again.

Don't underestimate Barcelona's back-and-forth, sleepy style of play.

Barcelona used this method to make the opposing players lose their vigilance. As long as there is a loophole for a moment, Barcelona players can find the gap.

So George kept shouting on the sidelines.

Let the players concentrate. Don't be confused by Barcelona's strolling style of play.

But Barcelona's style of play is too torturous. They can't grab the ball, and Barcelona is not in a hurry to get in. They just keep going back and forth outside, and finally Blackburn players almost lose their patience. Fortunately, Blackburn is leading now.

If Barcelona is leading, Blackburn players must be crazy.

The game went on for twenty minutes in this atmosphere. Many people were wondering, does Barcelona really not want to win the championship? Why don't they feel anxious at all?

Just when everyone was wondering, Barcelona suddenly accelerated the pace.

Xavi took the ball, but did not pass it to Busquets next to him as before. Instead, it was a direct pass to Iniesta on the left.

"... Iniesta... pass the ball, Henry..."

Iniesta passed the ball directly to Henry's feet without any breakthrough. Henry was just a transit station. Henry did not control the ball, but gently passed it back to Messi.

Messi is a genius, there is no doubt about it.

Messi's greatest ability is that he is very flexible in a small space. Because of his low center of gravity, he can constantly change direction in a small space.

If you talk about pleasing to the eye, Messi's breakthrough is really not as good as Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho's kick is refreshing. You can't help but applaud him. Messi's passing is more direct. It is definitely not as good as Ronaldinho in terms of viewing.

But the degree of threat, Messi is no worse than Ronaldinho.

When Messi took the ball, Essien next to him also came over. Although Messi has not performed well so far, Essien did not feel relaxed at all. Because Messi is more of a breakthrough from Essien's side.

Messi is too flexible.

Essien has used his strong body many times to defend Messi.

This time Essien is ready to repeat the same trick. Use his wild body to knock Messi out.

Messi and Essien have faced each other many times, and he knows Essien very well. This is the defensive midfielder known as the "African buffalo", with abnormal physical fitness. If he is hit by him once, the body will feel a dull pain. But at the same time, Messi also has a way to deal with him.

When Essien rushed up from the side, Messi made a light move, led the ball to the right, and passed Essien.

Messi didn't even think about entangled with Essien.

After just a little gap, Messi suddenly started. A simple lead and acceleration got rid of Essien, who is known as the world's number one defensive midfielder. After breaking through Essien, he saw Alonso. Facing Alonso's interception, Messi also changed his appearance and broke through Alonso in a narrow space.

"Messi, Messi... He passed Alonso. It was so easy, so easy."

Messi's breakthrough is a change in frequency. With small steps, it is so easy to pass.

Alonso's defense is very strong. But in front of Messi, it was like a wooden stake.

After passing Alonso, Messi did not stop. He continued to rush inside. Facing Lucio who came up, he dribbled the ball again. Messi's dribbling was like this, constantly dribbling in disguise. From Essien, Alonso to Lucio, they are all physically flexible players.

Several people defended flexible players, and they did not suffer. But in front of Messi's dribbling, they were in a mess.

"Messi, he has entered the penalty area... Facing Lucio, dribbling... Messi, shoot!"

"Messi! Messi! Messi!" The Catalan commentator shouted so excitedly for the first time in the whole game. "Messi, the omnipotent Messi. Messi is the king of football, he is the next king of football. Messi defeated Blackburn's defense alone. Essien, Alonso, Lucio, they are like clowns in front of him."

"1 to 2, there are still 20 minutes left in the game. We still have time to equalize the score and overtake the score."

The Barcelona fans who were depressed throughout the game were also very excited.

"Messi! Messi!"

"Even if you set up a turtle formation, you can't stop Messi."

"Messi is the king of football! Long live Messi!"

Guardiola was like crazy at this time, raising his hands and running from their bench to the Blackburn bench. Then he ran back again.

George kicked the mineral water bottle at his feet angrily.

The mineral water bottle jumped high and fell next to the referee Busacca. Busacca looked at the sidelines and found that George was cursing there, so he smiled and shook his head. He didn't say anything, but kicked the bottle out of the court again.

"If this hits Busacca, will Busacca give George a red card?"

The Catalan commentator was in a good mood and teased George.

After scoring a goal, Barcelona's players also gained confidence. They felt that defeating Blackburn was not a big problem. The depressed mood of being beaten by two goals in the first half was swept away.

After the restart, Barcelona accelerated.

Maybe the goal stimulated the Barcelona players. They suddenly became ferocious.

Passing faster and running more actively. Moreover, almost all the players started to press forward, changing the tepid attitude in the second half. They wanted to resolve the battle as soon as possible.

Therefore, more passes were made into the Blackburn penalty area. For a moment, Blackburn's defensive players were in a panic.

One minute after the restart, Barcelona passed the ball into Blackburn's penalty area again. Henry headed the ball, but as a super striker, Henry's header was a weakness. Kompany beat Henry and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Seeing the ball out of the penalty area, Essien directly cleared it with a big foot. This was a completely aimless clearance.

The ball flew high and flew all the way to the midfield.

"Essien, clear... Drogba, Drogba, header."

There was only one person in the frontcourt, and that was Drogba. And the one looking at Drogba was still Pique. Pique was not short, and was even four centimeters taller than Drogba. But in terms of controlling the high ball, how many defenders in the world can compare with Drogba?

Drogba jumped high, rubbed the ball back, and the ball went over the midfield.

As Drogba headed the ball, a tall figure flew past Pique.

"Kaka, this is Kaka!" Martin Taylor stood up in an instant. Because it was Kaka who was running fast from the middle. "Kaka, his speed is amazing, he has surpassed Puyol."

Puyol followed Pique to defend Drogba.

The position was just behind Pique. After Drogba headed the ball, he ran back to control the ball. But he didn't expect that there was a perverted player like Kaka behind him. It was not until Valdes reminded him that Puyol discovered Kaka.

Puyol accelerated, but unfortunately he could no longer defend Kaka.

Kaka instantly surpassed Puyol.

"Kaka, it's already a one-on-one. No one can stop Kaka, what will Kaka choose?"

Kaka went alone.

After passing Puyol, there was no one in the entire Barcelona half. Only Valdes was left. Valdez saw Kaka coming directly towards the goal, so he could only leave the goal and prepare to stop Kaka.

Seeing Valdez rushing up, Kaka lightly flicked the ball, and the ball drew a beautiful arc, passed Valdez's head, and then entered the goal.

"Kaka, Kaka scored twice. This is a lob, a beautiful lob. Kaka used his wonderful performance to tell people that he is currently the best player in world football."

"Three minutes, only three minutes before Messi's goal, Blackburn has expanded the advantage to two goals again. Kaka, Kaka made Messi's goal useless. Three to one, Kaka's goal locked the Champions League title."

"There are only twenty minutes left in the game. Can Barcelona equalize? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Three minutes can make the game situation take a sharp turn."

Yes, only three minutes.

From Messi's goal to Kaka's goal, there was only three minutes.

In three minutes, Barcelona fell from heaven to hell. Three minutes ago, Messi's goal made them full of confidence. At that time, both Barcelona players and fans believed that they would be able to equalize the score, or even surpass it. But three minutes later, they could only be extremely disappointed.

The Catalan commentator who was just full of energy was also silent.

Kaka's goal made Barcelona completely lose confidence. Another two-goal gap. Is there still hope?

Now Barcelona players are a little confused and don't know what to do.

They must attack. But how should they attack? They really have no choice. Blackburn's counterattack is too sharp.

They all looked at Guardiola on the sidelines. Unfortunately, Guardiola was even more lost at this time. As a young coach, he entered the Champions League final for the first time coaching a team, which can be said to be a very outstanding achievement.

However, due to lack of experience, he still performed vividly in the game.

Faced with the sudden change, he was a little at a loss.
