    (Updated today, will be supplemented tomorrow) The first half of the game ended quickly after Chen Yu scored. With only two minutes of stoppage time, Barcelona could not do anything at all. Even if they wanted to score again, they would not be able to score.  The goal can only wait until the second half.  When the Barcelona players came off the field, 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 the Barcelona players because the scene was not bad. If they even lost the scene,  , Barcelona players may not have a good time at their home court.  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 player.  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 to 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, most of our mission to Barcelona has been completed." Chen Yu was also in a good mood. 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 smiled: "I don't dare think about winning. A draw with a goal would be great." Reply  In the locker room, 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 without slacking off" In the visiting team's locker room, Benitez gave fake encouragement and real encouragement.  , I hope 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 Frank 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 because we couldn't hold the ball in the midfield. We were in good and bad form. We couldn't put pressure on Liverpool within 45 minutes and gave them several chances. Like Chen  It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that for a player like Yu, as long as he is given a chance, he can score goals. We must not give him a chance, even at the cost of a foul. Crouch¡¯s header is also very good, but his  The problem is that he is weak. We just need to rely on him and prevent him from taking off smoothly In addition, I don't ask you to have as strong a goal scoring ability as the opponent's forward Chen, but I believe that as long as we can create enough  We scored more goals than them" Rijkaard is not a very strict coach. He mostly adopts a very gentle attitude towards his players. Today's reprimand to his players is already very harsh.  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 defeated 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 also very aware of the current situation, but they did not think that 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 541 deployment in this game.  , To be precise, it is 5311. A total of eight players are involved in defense. Only Bellamy, Chen Yu, and Crouch are more involved in offense, while Gerrard is a free man in the midfield.  This kind ofThis position 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 greatly reduced Barcelona's offensive space, especially Mali international Sissoko. His excellent interception ability greatly restricted Ronaldinho's performance.  Barcelona's players hope to change the current situation in the second half, but Rijkaard is not a coach with strong on-the-spot command skills. He plays more according to the tactical plan formulated before the game, and does not play against the formation and style.  personnel to make targeted arrangements.  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 hope 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.  Valdes made a mistake in the first half that allowed Chen Yu to score a goal. He was very eager for the team to overtake the score and defeat Liverpool. After getting the ball, he kicked the ball towards the frontcourt.  However, such a high-altitude ball has no effect on Liverpool. The ball was headed out by Carragher at the edge of Liverpool's penalty area. When it landed in the midfield, after several people fought for the header, it finally fell to Gerrard.  At his feet, Gerrard didn't perform very well in the first half. In the second half, he became proactive and dribbled the ball directly into Barcelona's half.  Xavi stepped forward to intercept, but Gerrard used his body to force it. Then Motta came over to tackle impatiently again. As a result, he did not touch the ball but knocked Gerrard down. The referee showed him a yellow card and gave him a yellow card again.  Scored a free kick for Liverpool.  This free kick was not far from the center circle and there was no way to shoot it directly. Alonso took the free kick and passed it directly into the penalty area, allowing his teammates to fight for the top.  What Barcelona fears the most is the high-altitude ball. After the ball was passed into the penalty area, Barcelona's penalty area was a chaotic scene. There were more than a dozen people in the penalty area competing for the header. In the end, the ball was headed by the tallest Crouch.  However, under the opponent's defense, Crouch's header was ridiculous, and the ball went directly over the crossbar by more than two meters.  In the 53rd minute of the game, Barcelona played a beautiful match in Liverpool's half. After they dropped the ball consecutively, Deco got a chance to shoot, but was pulled down by Chen Yu who fought back. The referee gave Chen Yu a verbal warning and a penalty.  took a free kick from 278 meters.  Ronaldinho took the free kick, but Ronaldinho was in average condition today, and the quality of his free kicks was not high, and the ball went far beyond the goal post.  Seeing that the situation could not open up and Liverpool continued to press harder, which paralyzed Barcelona's offense, Rijkaard had to make substitution adjustments early. He replaced the attacking midfielder Iniesta.  Motta, the defensive midfielder who received a yellow card, continued to strengthen his offensive power.  Iniesta is not tall and not strong. His capital in Barcelona is his dribbling ability. Rijkaard replaced him in the hope that he can open up a hole in Liverpool's iron barrel formation.  After Iniesta came on the field, he used a beautiful fried ball to break through Liverpool's midfielder Sissoko from the wing, and then drove 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 the ball to Saviola in the middle.  Saviola was somewhat prepared, but the ball that was close at hand was missed by her, and she missed a good opportunity to shoot.  However, although the midfielders of Iniesta, Xavi and Deco lack strength, their skills are a level higher than Liverpool's. Their smooth cooperation and strong personal assault ability make Liverpool's half-time pressing tactics change.  When it became difficult, head coach Benitez once again decisively ordered the players to recover, return to the 30-meter danger zone, reduce the space, and increase the pressure on the Barcelona midfielder. After Liverpool once again tightened its defense, it became more and more difficult for Barcelona players to attack.  It is getting bigger and bigger, and Liverpool's counterattack is getting more and more sharp.In the 68th minute of the game, Crouch and Chen Yu quickly pressed against the Barcelona defender. Max hurriedly passed the ball back to goalkeeper Valdes. Valdes had a short circuit and actually received 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 took a free kick, Alonso passed the ball, and Gerrard followed up with the shot, but Valdes made up for it. He miraculously saved Gerrard's shot. The ball popped out, and Chen Yu followed up with a volley, but  The ball hit Zambrotta and deflected over the crossbar.  Seeing that he still could not break the deadlock, Rijkaard made another substitution adjustment in the 70th minute. Winger Giuly replaced midfielder Xavi and moved Ronaldinho to the attacking midfielder position. He made the first substitution to break the deadlock.  Second adjustment,
