Coach, I want to play football!

"We played really well in the first half and that deserves credit."

At half-time, Marcelino praised the team's performance.

The first half ended temporarily with Villarreal [-]-[-].

"But we still have room for improvement. The opponent's side attack is relatively high. And we almost didn't have much side attack in the first half. This needs to be strengthened. After looking for opportunities to find them to press on the side behind him."

In the first half, Barcelona's offense was launched in the center most of the time, and then broke through from the side.

Among them are Iniesta and Pedro, the two "assaulters", and Adriano and Montoya also inherited the glorious tradition of Alves and Alba-press attack!

"In the second half, we used more sideways and counterattacks behind the opponent. At the same time, we used more ground passes..."

Both Pique and Mathieu were tall, and with Busquets on the defensive midfielder, Ye Qi didn't have many chances to gain the upper hand in the high ball counterattack throughout the first half.

But this is not Ye Qi's fault, because the opponent's height has an inherent advantage.

In the locker room on the other side, Enrique was making adjustments for the second half.

"Their defense is very tight. In the second half, we can try more set-pieces. We can use our breakthrough advantage to create pressure on the opponent's defense. It would be even better if we can generate more yellow cards."

"Because the opponent has three central defenders and two defensive midfielders, their central defense is very good, but the wing...is relatively average."

"Take more sideways, it's good to be able to get through. If you can't, you can also pull the opponent's defense in the middle..."

"Okay, after a 15-minute rest, let's continue in the second half of the game..." He Wei said to the camera.

"It seems that the two teams have not adjusted their starting lineups in the second half. It seems that the coaches of both teams are quite satisfied with the performance in the first half?"

Marcelino is indeed very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but Enrique...not necessarily.

Enrique has the idea of ​​adjusting the lineup, but the time is not yet ripe, and he intends to observe again.

Although there will be a tough battle with Juventus next week, there is no problem with Messi and other core players playing halftime in this game.

Enrique had to admit that he still underestimated Villarreal before the game, so the core players such as Rakitic, Messi and Neymar did not start.

After all, in his opinion, the Champions League final against Juventus next week is obviously more important.

In the second half, Barcelona kicked off the ball first, and the core midfielder led by Harvey did not rush to launch an attack, but took possession of the ball first as in the first half.

Santos stepped forward to press, and Xavi quickly gave the ball to Iniesta.

Iniesta gave the ball to Adriano who came up from the wing, and then cut inside into the penalty area.Adriano succeeds on the flank, then dribbles down the bottom.

It's just that after hitting the bottom, he didn't make a high ball pass, but went to the ground to find Iniesta who entered the penalty area.

The Brazilian defender passed the ball past Mario and headed straight for Iniesta, who was ready to receive the ball with his back against Mousazio.

But at this time, Bruno rushed out and caught the ball halfway.

"Bruno!! A very crucial attack, he saw through Adriano's pass!" He Wei praised.

After familiarization in the first half, Bruno has become accustomed to some of Barcelona's passing routines. For example, most of the time when the wingback goes down the bottom, he will not pass the high ball.

Either cut inside to create your own chance to hit the goal, or cut inside and then make an inverted triangle cross from the bottom, or... that's how you find the inside forward on this side.

As soon as Bruno got the ball, Rafinha grabbed it immediately.It's just that Bruno didn't give him a chance. After grabbing the ball, he sent it to Adriano's back immediately.

Brazilian defender Adriano turned his head to look, and immediately turned back to chase.

But someone was faster than him, and Mario stepped in. His position itself was a bit ahead of Adriano, after all, Adriano had just hit the bottom line.

Mario got the ball behind Adriano and strode down the wing to counter.

“Mario….drifted the ball from the side! That was not common in the first half of the game.”

What He Wei meant was that Villarreal's two full-backs barely pressed the offense in the first half.

Busquets chose to rush towards Mario, and he planned to use a tactical foul to block the opponent's dribbling.

However, when Busquets came over, Mario chose to pass the ball to find his teammates instead of forcing it himself.

A long pass and a wide-range transfer found Cherishev on the other side. Cherishev took the ball and cut inside!

Ye Qi in the middle was following up. At the same time, Campbell was behind him. On the outside of Campbell was Mario, who passed the ball and did not retreat. He chose to continue pressing.

The big Santos in the backcourt originally wanted to get in after the middle, but when he saw that his teammate Mario hadn't come back, he kept an eye on it and chose to delay a little bit, and the other position was also leaning towards Mario's side, planning if If the opponent launches a counterattack, it can also help Mario defend.

At the same time, Bruno, who only defended, did not step forward in the middle, and began to command the defense.He signaled Jaume Costa on the other side not to go up, and then let the right center back Mousazio go to the right position.

In this way, the three central defenders and one full-back instantly completed the defense of the four-back formation, and at the same time there was Bruno as a midfielder in front of him.

This is Villarreal's defense in this game. When their side is attacking with the ball, their backcourt has already taken the lead in completing the defensive deployment.

This is also the reason why Barcelona's strong offensive line did not easily break through the Yellow Submarine's defense line in this game.

The screen returns to the front field.

Cheryshev, who cut inside with the ball, tore apart Barcelona's defense. Mathieu's position was closer to this side, so he chose to give up Ye Qi to intercept the Russian with the ball.

"Four against three in the frontcourt!! Let's take a look at Villarreal's chance to counterattack this time!"

The four on Villarreal's side are Cheryshev, Ye Qi, Campbell and Mario, and on the Barcelona side are Mathieu, Pique and Busquets.

Busquets failed to complete the defense against Mario before, so he simply retreated to Campbell's side. After all, there was no one on the side of Campbell, who was not a small threat.

Cheryshev, who was dribbling the ball, saw Mathieu coming up. After grasping the distance of the opponent, a ground ball curved the ball around the French defender and gave it to Pique's oblique back in the frontcourt.

The moment Cheryshev completed the pass, Ye Qi in the middle suddenly started, and then rushed towards the grounder.

Pique next to Ye Qi almost subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Ye Qi's jersey, but it was a little late, so he could only chase after it with gritted teeth.
