It has to be said that Barcelona's attitude in this game is indeed much better than the previous game. From the beginning of the players' entry, Barcelona fans have been helping the team put pressure on Atletico Madrid. They sing team songs and spell out the huge tifo of Barcelona's team logo... All of this is to put pressure on Atletico Madrid, making them feel pressure, their feet are weak, their heads are confused, and they cannot concentrate on the game.

After the game started, Barcelona actively put pressure on Atletico Madrid.

As long as Atletico Madrid players get the ball, Barcelona players will immediately go up and press, forcing them to not get the ball well and think calmly.

Through this pressing, Barcelona has indeed created many opportunities.

Shortly after the opening, Messi made a pass at the front of the penalty area, and Pedro shot about ten meters away from the goal in the penalty area. The football was saved by Oblak from the baseline.

In the subsequent corner kick, Atletico Madrid fell into a melee, and Pique volleyed in front of the small penalty area, but the football hit the crossbar!

"Pique! Beautiful shot...Oh!" The commentator of Catalonia radio station was very regretful.

"The crossbar saved Atletico Madrid! Barcelona's offensive after the opening game was indeed very fierce, so you must withstand it!" Jose Maria was a little worried.

However, when the TV broadcast was sent to Diego Simone, the Atletico Madrid head coach seemed very calm and seemed to have expected this situation.

However, he had expected that if he could not imagine how Barcelona would play when they returned to their home court, he might as well stop being the head coach.

It is obvious that Barcelona is going to fight for their lives.

At this time, Atletico Madrid needs to remain calm and must not be scared by Barcelona's rapid offensive.

He even gave the defense line the task before the game to let them "create offside". You should know that the offside tactic is a very risky tactic, which tests the tacit understanding and tactical discipline of every player on the team's defense line.

And even if the players have a tacit understanding and discipline, they may make mistakes in the game.

Once a mistake is made, it can be fatal.

So not everyone is willing to adopt this tactic.

But Simeone used it, and I don’t know if it was stupid or bold, or if it had absolute confidence in his players.

In fact, the effect of offside tactics is really good because Barcelona players are too anxious. They can't be anxious. After all, they are four goals behind, so they must attack at the beginning, and score the goal earlier correctly, so that they have more time to leave the next three goals gap. If the first goal is too late, what else can we talk about reversal?

Simeone is really worried about Barcelona players, which makes the defense frequently cause offside.

This defense line used to be the best defense in La Liga. Although Miranda was replaced by Jimenez this season, Jimenez has always been in the team. Moreover, he and Godin are both internationals in the Uruguay national team. They are both central defenders in the national team, and their tacit understanding is not less than that of Godin and Miranda.

Under Godin's command, Suarez, Pedro and Messi all fell into the offside trap one after another.

But in this case, we can't complain that Barcelona players are too anxious and there is no way to do it if they are not anxious. At this time, we can't come slowly. Barcelona's previous style of passing and controlling the rhythm back and forth, dragging their opponents into their slow rhythm and then suddenly speeding up, and stabbing a fatal blow is completely useless in this case.

In addition to creating offside, Atletico Madrid had to foul in order to prevent Barcelona.

So Messi was given a free kick twenty-five meters away from the goal.

"The distance of this free kick has entered Messi's range!" The Catalonian commentator said loudly with anticipation.

Seeing Messi putting the football seriously, taking a deep breath and retreating to take the penalty, many Barcelona fans in front of the TV were ready to move. It's time to enter the ball, right?

This goal is indeed time to score. You should know that it has been played for 30 minutes in the first half, and the score is still 0:0. Barcelona should have scored ten minutes into the opening game...

So you must score a goal at this time, otherwise there will be less time left for Barcelona.

But under the gaze of everyone, Messi's free kick was above the crossbar!

Although it is only a little taller, it is higher if it is higher, and it cannot enter the door even if it is one centimeter taller.

Barcelona has been unable to score a goal for a long time. Although Atletico Madrid is mostly under pressure in its half, there is still a chance to counterattack.

In the 38th minute, Pedro made a pass mistake in the midfield. After the football was taken by Griezmann, he passed directly to the front.

Gao Zheng, who was in the front, used a "fried croquette" to shake off Mascherano who was coming to grab the ball and broke into the penalty area.

But his shot was a little bit off and hit the net.

"Gao! Oh!" This time, he hugged his head with regret and changed it to Jose Maria. "Gao missed the opportunity to completely end the game!!"

Gao Zheng was also very sorry for missing this goal. He first turned around and gave Griezmann, who passed the ball to him, then raised his head and sighed.

Barcelona fans in the stands used applause to ridicule Gao Zheng for missing this opportunity, and some people shouted to him: "This is Camp Nou, this is Camp Nou!!"

It means that your trick doesn't work for us!

※※※

Shortly after Gao Zheng missed the scoring opportunity, Barcelona finally broke the deadlock on the court.

In the 43rd minute, Rakitic made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Suarez directly pushed the ball to Messi with his chest in the penalty area. Messi, who ran to the open, was unguarded!

"Chance!!"

Amid the roar of the Catalonian radio commentator, Messi stopped the football with his chest, then pushed the football to the goal before Godin grabbed it.

Faced with this close-kick push, Oblack was unable to react and failed to hit the football.

The ball flew into the goal!

"Messi!!! Messi!!! 1:4! Only three goals are missing! We still have a chance! We are still alive!" The Catalan narrator shouted excitedly.

If the entire Barcelona team can maintain this momentum, it will not be impossible to score three more goals in the remaining fifty minutes!

Enrique rushed out of the coach's seat after Messi scored and waved his fists to the sidelines.

Messi himself did not celebrate. After scoring the goal, he rushed into Atletico Madrid's goal immediately, grabbed the football before Oblake, held it in his arms, and ran towards the center circle.

He knew very well that every second was precious for Barcelona now.

Other Barcelona players also came up to surround him, but not to celebrate, but to accompany him to bring the football to the middle circle.

No one was ecstatic because they knew very well that this goal was just the beginning, and it was far from enough, and they needed more goals. So it was not worth the pleasure now.
