MTL - Strong Waist-Chapter 916 Barcelona seems to be collapsing!

  Chapter 916 Barcelona seems to be collapsing!

  Accompanied by the whistle, Suarez kicked off, which represented the official start of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

  Barcelona still maintained control of the ball after the kick-off.

  At the same time, they need to ensure the control of the ball and cannot lose the ball at will. Once the ball is lost in a dangerous position, the pressure given to them by relying on Arsenal's counterattack ability is huge.

   For this reason, Barcelona dare not easily try to pass forward.

  However, Arsenal will not allow the opponent to pass smoothly. After the opening, Arsenal, taking advantage of their physical fitness, began to press fiercely, so that the opponent can feel the same ball control pressure in their own half.

   "Come back! Come back some people!"

  Busquets really felt the pressure. Arsenal's press was too intense, and with them, they couldn't create enough passing points.

  They need someone to drop back and help them relieve the pressure.

  After seeing that the midfielder was at a disadvantage, Messi also took the initiative to retreat for protection.

  After Messi's retracement, the increase of a ball holding point and passing point has indeed relieved a lot of pressure for Barcelona.

  At the same time, Messi can also use his dribbling ability to help Barcelona move forward.

  Messi is no longer close to the frontcourt, but uses his passing and dribbling ability to do more teamwork.

   It is estimated that this is also the tactic developed by Barcelona during the halftime break.

  Instead of putting Messi in a sharp position and letting him go head-to-head with Lucky, it is better to let Messi retreat some positions to ensure the smoothness of the pass.

   But in this way, the problem still exists.

   That is an extreme test of Suarez's ability. After all, Suarez is the only striker in the true sense.

  Arsenal has also seen changes in Barcelona.

   But they are not in a hurry.

   "Watch your position!"

   Le Kai yelled, and immediately stood slightly forward, reaching near the top of the arc in the middle circle.

  His eyes are always on the ball holder, judging the passing path of the opponent, and at the same time looking for opportunities,

  Messi undertakes a lot of passing and receiving work, and also helps Iniesta share some organizational work.

  In this way, Barcelona has five midfielders, which greatly alleviates their midfield disadvantage, and try to gain the initiative while ensuring the possession of the ball.

   This is good for Barcelona.

  Although the home team is behind.

  But Barcelona is still in the lead in the total score, they can even delay time, as long as they prevent Arsenal from scoring two goals in the second half, they can win.

   This is also the idea of ​​​​Barcelona!

  Arsenal is naturally aware of this, so they must not let Barcelona control the midfield!

   "Kanter! Go up!"

   Lucky shouted.

  Kanter was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran up to press down.

   Kanter stepped forward to press, and Lucky provided guerrilla support in the defense.

   In terms of defensive coverage, Lucky is obviously a better defensive choice.

   Moreover, Lucky's long pass also has the ability to threaten the opponent's court. No matter how bad it is, he can use Lucky's point to reorganize after grabbing the ball.

  The most important thing is to avoid the opponent's sudden approach.

  After Kante joined the press, this caused Barcelona a lot of trouble.

  Different from offensive players, Kanter has a good control over the defensive placement and timing.

   Even began to actively cooperate, and even commanded his teammates to press him together.

  After coming and going, the pressure Barcelona needs to face becomes even greater.

  "Barcelona's pass control began to become chaotic, and the addition of Kante made their pass once again in some embarrassment."

  The Spanish commentator said worriedly.

  At this time, Messi suddenly pulled the ball, trying to pass Kanter.

  But Kanter bullied himself up, and Messi, who used his body to hit him, lost his balance slightly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he suddenly kicked the ball out.

   "Broken! Kanter!"

  The ball went to the right touchline, but it was still in Barcelona's half.

  Roberto runs to where the ball landed.

  The moment he was about to touch the ball, a figure suddenly passed by, a sliding tackle kicked the ball into Arsenal's half, and Le Kai, who was just in position, took it into his bag.

  Roberto was surprised by this sudden appearance.

  He looked down, and under his immature face, a young man quickly got up, turned around and ran to his place.

   "Saka! He grabbed a point first and the ball returned to Arsenal, but it is difficult to counterattack in this position!"

  As the commentator said, although Saka kicked the ball to Le Kai, but now is not a good time to counterattack.

   Barcelona's players are always in the half-court area.

   For this reason, Lucky passed the ball to Iwobi while moving laterally.

   "Don't drop the ball!"

  Lucky reminds me.

  Iwobi also understood.

  The latter immediately distributed the ball to Aubameyang on the wing.

   After Aubameyang held the ball, he made a fake body shaking. Under normal circumstances, this kind of fake action will not cause any trouble to people.

  But the key is the first half, Alba was a little psychologically shadowed by Aubameyang.

  This caused Aubameyang to pose a huge threat to Alba in any action.

  Even this fake move made Alba's body stiff, but he still held back and didn't make a move.

   Seeing that Alba was not fooled, Aubameyang felt a little pity.

  Looking up to the rear, Bellerin did not rush up to cover the edge.

   This means that Arsenal's offense cannot continue.

  Aubameyang continued to pass back.

  The ball returned to Lucky's feet again.

   Lucky's running position is constantly moving left and right, while connecting the teams in series.

   The other side is full, Arsenal's defenders and forwards start to move forward and retreat.

   This also flattens the overall formation.

   Shorten the distance between the center forward and the defender.

  The crisis has quietly re-emerged, but Barcelona doesn't seem to be aware of it.

  They still stared at Lucky closely, and dealt with the threatening ball kicked by Lucky.

  However, soon, Lucky's feedback increased.

   The central defenders also played more goals.

   Even after the central defender stepped forward, Le Kai directly pressed into the opponent's half.

   Hummels began to take over the heavy responsibility of playing the ball in the backcourt.

  First shift to the left and right sides, and then move towards the middle to find the midfielder.

  Arsenal's overall offense is methodical.

   Another 10 minutes passed, and when it was about to enter 60 minutes, Hummels finally saw Giroud.

   Giroud has retreated out of the penalty area and pulled Pique out.

   "Pass me the ball!"

   Hummels shouted, Saka passed the ball back to Hummels.

  Hummels stepped forward, he first looked at Giroud to signal, then immediately knocked the ball forward hard, and shouted at the same time: "Kay! The goal is missed!"

   Lucky happened to be on the path of the ball. Hearing what Hummels said, he subconsciously opened his legs and let the ball slip through his crotch.

   And Le Kai's leaked ball made the ball pass through Barcelona's midfield line safely and came to Giroud's feet.

   Giroud rubbed the outside of the instep against the ball, and the ball flew from the middle of the full-back and Pique to behind him.

   This is a typical tactic for center forwards to retreat.

  Arsenal had also used this tactic before, but it was Wilshere who pursued it.

What now?

   Le Kai first looked at Iwobi, who was in the middle and didn't move at all.

  There is a shortage of people in the rib area!

   At this moment, a figure quickly wiped past Semedo, who was about to turn around, and chased the ball with all his strength.

   Saka's running back became the focus of the audience.

   "Saka!!"

   Giroud also turned and ran forward at the same time, calling for a pass.

  When Saka was about to catch the ball, he circled an arc and directly knocked the ball across to the midfield with his right foot.

   And the pass had a slight arc, and the ball passed in front of Pique's protruding toes.

   At this time, Giroud is completely undefended.

   Giroud pushed lightly against the inside of the ball.

  The ball rolled into the goal from the side of goalkeeper Ter Stegen's ankle.

  Arsenal scored!

  In the 62nd minute of the second half, an attack initiated by central defender Hummels.

   Pass the ball tightly with three legs and hit the ball into the goal.

  Arsenal scored the third goal of the game, and they are only one goal away from advancing!

   This goal quieted the Camp Nou.

  Barcelona fans looked at the goal in disbelief.

   They knew very well that this was the third goal conceded.

   After the first half, the second half still conceded the ball.

  Barcelona seems to be smashed!
