    The first half of the game ended quickly after Chen Yu scored. With only two minutes of stoppage time, Barcelona could not accomplish anything at all. Even if they wanted to score again, and if they could score again, they could only wait until the second half.  .  When the Barcelona players came off the field, there was no applause in the Camp Nou stands. The score of l could not satisfy the picky Barcelona fans. These fans did not boo the Barcelona players because the scene was not bad. If even the scene was lost, Barcelona would lose.  Players may not have a hard time at their home stadium.  Liverpool's players received a standing ovation from Liverpool fans. Although Liverpool lags behind in all statistics except goals and fouls, Liverpool fans are satisfied as long as they score goals. Liverpool has never been a team.  It is a very beautiful team that can at best be described as passionate, so Liverpool fans never pursue how beautiful the game is, as long as they can win and win by a big score.  Chen Yu, who scored a goal, has become the favorite and grateful player of Liverpool fans. When Chen Yu walked towards the mixed tunnel, almost all Liverpool fans waved to him and shouted his name. Chen Yu was also very excited.  waving to the fans.  At the door of the locker room, Liverpool head coach Benitez shook hands with the players one by one and praised them for their outstanding performance in the game. Chen Yu was the last one to arrive. Benitez stepped forward and held Chen Yu tightly.  "Chen, you played so well. That goal was so crucial. With this goal, our mission to Barcelona has been completed." Chen Yu was also in a good mood. He smiled and said: "In the second half  If Barcelona continues to play like this, we still have hope of winning." Benitez patted Chen Yu on the back and said with a smile: "I don't think I can win. A draw with a goal would be great." Back to dressing.  Indoors, Benitez did not praise any more, nor did he talk about the performance of Liverpool players in the first half. Instead, he pointed out the problems they had in the first half one by one, hoping that they would not make them in the second half.  "We scored a goal in the first half and tied with the powerful Barcelona. This does not mean that we played very well and there is nothing that needs to be corrected. In fact, without Chen Yu's key goal, we would have lost  It can only be said that we played poorly in the first half, but luck will not always take care of us. We must play better in the second half and not slack off a little bit" In the visiting team's locker room, Benitez pretended to encourage us.  , I hope that my players can continue their efforts in the second half and strive for better gains while ensuring the advantage in the first half.  In the home team's dressing room, Barcelona's head coach Rijkaard was really angry. He didn't care about any player's face and directly criticized him in person: "Where did we lose in the first half? We lost in the middle.  We couldn't hold the ball every game and were in good and bad form. We couldn't put pressure on Liverpool within forty-five minutes and gave them several opportunities. It's not like you don't know a player like Chen Yu, as long as you give him  If he has a chance, he can score. We must not give him a chance, even at the cost of a foul. Crouch's header is also very good, but his problem is that he is weak. We just need to rely on him and not let him  Just take off smoothly In addition, I don't expect you to have as strong a goal-scoring ability as your opponent's forward Chen, 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 his players. It is already very harsh to reprimand his players like this today. This also reflects Rijkaard's anxious mentality.  In fact, it's no wonder that in the league, Barcelona is being suppressed 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 drew with Liverpool and was beaten by Liverpool.  Someone stole an away goal. If this situation cannot be changed in the second half, Barcelona will be in tragedy today.  Barcelona's players kept their heads down and didn't speak. They were well aware of their current situation, but they didn't think they played poorly. Instead, they believed that Liverpool was able to score because of good luck. If Barcelona had been luckier, the score would not be the same as it is now.  Looks like.  In addition, Barcelona players also have some resentments towards coach Frank Rijkaard. For example, Barcelona's striker Eto'o, who scored the most goals, is only sitting in the stands. If Eto'o was here, Barcelona would definitely not be so passive against their opponents.  Only scored one goal.  Moreover, Barcelona players believe that Liverpool coach Benitez is more prepared than Rijkaard, because although they are in a good scene, they do not have many real scoring opportunities. Benitez adopted a 54l deployment in this game.  , To be precise, 53lI has eight players involved in defense. Only Bellamy, Chen Yu, and Crouch are more involved in offense, while Gerrard is a free man in the midfield.  This arrangement inhibited Barcelona's sharp wing attack. Except for the first goal, it rarely created threats on the wing at other times.  The central defense of Sissoko and Alonso has greatly compressed Barcelona's offensive space, especially Mali international Sissoko. His excellent interception ability greatly limitsRonaldinho'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 mostly follows the tactical plan formulated before the game.  During the game, no targeted arrangements were made for the formation and personnel.  The fifteen minutes of the intermission passed quickly, and the players of Barcelona and Liverpool walked out of the locker room.  When I walked out of the locker room this time, the atmosphere was completely different. The shouts and cries of the Liverpool fans suppressed the Barcelona fans, while the Barcelona fans watched indifferently to see how these players performed in the second half.  The atmosphere on the field is different, and the mentality of the players is also different. After the kick-off, Barcelona pressed forward and quickly pushed the battlefield into Liverpool's half. They still hoped to attack Liverpool's penalty area like they did in the first half and use their numbers.  pile up to achieve the goal of scoring a goal.  However, Liverpool's mentality and morale at this time was no longer comparable to that of the first half. Although they were pushed into their own half by Barcelona, ??Liverpool's players did not take the initiative to retreat. Their forwards Chen Yu and Crouch still stood.  In the position with Barcelona's back line, other players began to press Barcelona in the half, preventing Barcelona from organizing the offense calmly.  In the 46th minute of the game, Motta fouled the brave Gerrard in the backcourt. Gerrard personally took the free kick. His free kick from 30 yards was confiscated by Valdes.  Liverpool continued to press harder, which hindered Barcelona's attack and the situation fell into a stalemate.
