While Lineker and Taylor were in the studio analyzing Liverpool's gains and losses in the first half for the TV audience, in the Liverpool dressing room, Ancelotti was also doing self-reflection: "We played in the first half. It's too passive, but you are not responsible, the responsibility is mine. It is my arrangement that went wrong, and I want you to apologize."

Lowering his head slightly, Ancelotti continued: "In the first half we gave Barcelona too much space and allowed them to freely control the ball outside our 30-meter area. This is obviously wrong. So in the second half we To change this point, you two, Henderson and Kanter, must cut off the triangular cooperation between Messi, Xavi and Iniesta in the second half, and try to disturb them as much as possible. Messi's state in this game is really bad Great, if he's not good at defending, then cut him off with the other Barcelona players. Especially with Xavi, Iniesta..."

Kante raised his hand and asked: "What about Messi and Sua Reiss?"

Ancelotti waved his hand: "Then don't worry about it. It is said that Messi and Suya Reiss have a bad relationship, and they will not cooperate with each other. Everyone should have seen this in the first half, right?"

It is no secret that Messi and Suya Reiss have a bad relationship. After media reports, it is no secret.

So in the first half, Suya Reiss did not pass the ball to Messi, but chose to shoot by himself, which is not too surprising.

After Ancelotti finished speaking, he turned his attention to Su Han, but he didn't say anything.

There is really nothing to say about Su Han.

In the first half, Su Han only scored that goal, and he was not active at other times. The reason was not on Su Han's side, but because he was given too few counterattack opportunities.

The adjustment just now is actually to increase Liverpool’s chances of counterattack, increase interception strength in the midfield, strive to grab more balls from the feet of Barcelona players, and then give the football to Su Han, let him fulfill the important task of the team .

Ancelotti believes that Su Han is very clear about his mission, so he doesn't need to say anything, because if he talks too much, he will show that he doesn't trust Su Han.

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly. In the second half, neither side made any substitutions, and they switched sides to fight again.

After the game started, everything was no different from the second half of the first half.

Barcelona took advantage of their kick-off opportunity in the second half and firmly controlled the football at their feet. They were not eager to hit Liverpool's penalty area, but fell for a while in the midfield and backcourt.

At first, Liverpool came up to grab it, but after Barcelona fell for a while, the football was still under their feet, and Liverpool players took it back one after another, and stopped going up.

If they continue to grab, it will only cause more loopholes in the back line, so they must quickly recover and fill up the loopholes before the loopholes are caught by Barcelona.

Soon the game returned to the stage of Liverpool shrinking defense and Barcelona besieging.

It seems that Barcelona has the initiative and has the upper hand.

Nothing changed for Liverpool and the first half.

This is actually an illusion of the audience. Liverpool has changed, but it is not so conspicuous.

Henderson and Kante stepped up their tackles in midfield and their runs were much more aggressive than before.

To talk about the changes in Liverpool, the Barcelona players on the field may be the first to feel it.

Especially Xavi and Iniesta, when the two of them took the ball in the frontcourt, they encountered greater resistance and faced greater pressure.

The passing between them was not as smooth as in the first half.

Xavi turned the main target of the pass to Messi.

Iniesta seems to have been marked by Liverpool's focus.....

Messi was as active as he was in the first half, putting tremendous pressure on Liverpool's defense.

Seeing Messi's performance, Harvey breathed a sigh of relief - Messi is still normal, which means everything is normal.

0...asking for flowers...

"Messi's lateral dribble past Kante's shot beautifully... oh, what a pity"

"Messi broke into the box and shot just wide..."

"Macy Messi"

The commentators kept chanting his name, and wherever he passed on the court, there was a scene of people on their backs.

Liverpool's players looked very embarrassed in front of Messi, and their defenders even had to use both hands and feet to stop Messi's ball.

Barcelona fans also felt reassured because of Messi's outstanding performance. Although the score is still i, in the minds of these Barcelona fans, Barcelona seems to have taken the lead.

They laughed at the Liverpool players who were embarrassed in front of Messi and cheered for Messi.

Everyone felt that it was only a matter of time before Barcelona broke Liverpool's goal for the second time.

Messi once again took the ball and dribbled horizontally in the attack. Facing Liverpool's pursuit and interception, he seemed very calm.

He then passed the ball to Suya Reiss who met him in the penalty area with his back to the goal.

After passing the ball, he continued to run forward.

Generally speaking, at this time, as long as Suya Reiss passes the football, Messi can drive the ball into the penalty area. Once he enters the penalty area, Liverpool's goal will be dangerous.

But Suya Reiss didn't do that.

Because the attention of Liverpool's defensive players is still on Messi, even if Messi has no ball at his feet, there are still two Liverpool players around him. In comparison, Suya Reiss, who only has one Liverpool defender around The defensive pressure faced is much smaller...  

So Suya Reiss didn't even hesitate, turned around and shot

But this time, Mignolet did not let the football hit his arm and fly away, but closed his jaw and chest, and hugged the football shot by Suya Reiss firmly.

He caught the man.
