Since it is a complaint, this is naturally a saying that cannot be taken seriously.

How could Malaga not defend? Even Barcelona cannot not defend, but because they attack much more than when they defend, it gives many people the illusion that Barcelona is not defending. Moreover, in fact, ball control cannot be completely equal to offense. Many times, Barcelona's ball control is actually for defense, but compared with defenses that have no aesthetic sense in most cases, people are often unwilling to associate it with ball control.

The way to complain is to think about it.

For Barcelona, ​​the current situation is nothing more than three ways to deal with it.

The first way of dealing with the same way as Guardiola deals with Linson's smoke bomb before the game, responding to changes in the same way. This is also the most reasonable way of dealing with Barcelona in theory. The reason is very simple. Barcelona's card, tacit understanding, and skills are not worse than Malaga. The reason why they lag behind is to say that it is a bit vulgar, which is a war. Obviously, they cannot be distracted just by getting a cold gun. With this, they must get up, advance layer by layer, step by step, and patient positional battles are the best.

The second thing is set pieces. Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt has accumulated a group of players with the best skills on the planet. They have the conditions to create some more direct goals. As for the last one, it is to find a breakthrough point. The reason is very simple. Although Malaga's defense is a stone slab, even if it is a stone slab, there is a reason for water to wear through a stone in this world. As long as you identify a point and then let Barcelona attack this point with all their might, Malaga's defense will sooner or later collapse.

These three ways of dealing are filtered over and over again in Guardiola's mind. In fact, for Barcelona, ​​the three ways are more beneficial than disadvantages, because although they are behind in the score, they are the ones who have the initiative in the offense on the court. No matter what method they use to deal with it, it is the same for Malaga. The reason why Guardiola hesitates is not entirely weighing the pros and cons, but considering a key point, that is time.

Things like not being able to score points are common on the football field. Those with better luck can enter one before the end and get a small victory. Those with less luck can be defeated before the end, and a regretful loss. Although this is mostly because the side with stronger power cannot seize the opportunity, in fact, it is still time in the final analysis, because no defense can withstand endless offense. The problem is that no offense can be endless because football games have time limits.

Just like Malaga now, they only need to withstand Barcelona's attack in the next forty-five minutes, and then they can raise the King's Copa del Rey after the game.

Guardiola's consideration is approaching the end of the first half.

Seeing that the referee had already started looking at the watch, Guardiola did not continue to watch, but turned around and went back to the locker room. Lin Sen, who stood on the sidelines, noticed Guardiola's departure, but there was not much smug expression on his face, because the game was just halfway through, and because he did not see the anxious color he wanted to see most from Guardiola. However, he still had to give his team a hundred points in the first half performance.

One to zero.

One representative Malaga completed the most important offensive task in the first half, setting the tone for the game. Zero represented Malaga had already succeeded halfway through, and they successfully blocked the opponent's halftime game under Barcelona's attack.

At least, judging from the first half, Linson won one inning from Guardiola.

After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Xavi stopped jogging and slowly walked towards the player passage. His old teammate Puyol came over from the backcourt and asked calmly. Xavi replied that it was okay. In the game of Chelsea last week, Xavi suffered a minor injury. Although it was not serious after the examination, Guardiola did not let him play in the league last weekend. The outside world generally believed that it was to retain his strength for this game, but it was not without Xavi's injury.

Xavi is indeed fine. Although Gabi, who is responsible for guarding him in this game, his "care" was almost meticulous, his movements were very clean. In fact, even Xavi had to admit that although Malaga played defense, his methods were mostly based on oppression, and he did not blindly use fierce tackles to declare his defensive determination. Compared to Xavi, Messi and Iniesta, who are good at personal breakthroughs, have much more physical contact with the opponent. Malaga received two yellow cards in the first half of the year on Messi, of course, worth the money.

That guy was very difficult? Puyol asked again, and his eyes looked at Gabi who was walking in front of them intentionally or unintentionally.

It's much more difficult than before. Harvey smiled.

Can't continue? Puyol suddenly smiled.

Can't handle it anymore. Harvey shook his head.

It’s not that he didn’t want to repeat the same trick, but the nodding and greeting in the player channel seemed to really make him laugh. In the first half, although Gaby made Harvey difficult, Harvey also made Gaby suffer a lot. However, this time, Gaby was not angry, but instead pulled him several times when he fell.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

During the intermission, the stands belonged to Malaga fans.

These gangs of thrillers!

Looking at the Malaga fans singing and dancing in the stands opposite, a young Barcelona fan cursed fiercely. The game is not over yet, but it's just that luck is gone and leading the ball. What's so proud of? When the second half of the game is over, you can watch it.

The words of young Barcelona fans actually represent the ideas of a large number of Barcelona fans, even other fans watching the game, leading Barcelona in the first half? Great, but this does not mean that you have won the game. The turtle may be able to take the lead by sleeping with the rabbit, but no one will think that the turtle runs faster than the rabbit.

In fact, Malaga fans also know this truth.

But who can control so much?!

Malaga leads Barcelona, ​​and that's the score now.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Good job, gentlemen."

As soon as he walked into the locker room, Lin Sen first affirmed his players' first half game with applause, and then naturally used a "but" to make a turning point for his speech. No matter how beautiful he said, his players knew that he could tell them that they could drive champagne to celebrate the lead before the game was over.

"I know you may think that my next words are just old-fashioned, but gentlemen, old-fashioned words are because many teams always make old-fashioned mistakes. As your head coach, I must remind you again that your opponent is Barcelona. I believe that the four words Barcelona are enough to give you enough motivation. Don't forget how you did the first half, and don't forget what we should do in the second half."

"I would like to emphasize again. No matter how the outside world thinks about this game, I don't care what Barcelona thinks about. In my opinion, there is one thing we must have the advantage over Barcelona, ​​that is physical fitness. In the past month, Barcelona has played nearly twice as many games as us. Their physical energy consumption is much greater than ours. There is no reason why we will lose to Barcelona in this regard! What's more, we are younger! So, in the second half, in addition to the first half, I have to see two things, one is speed! The other is aggressive!"

"If a player feels that he can't continue running on the court for forty-five minutes, then now I can tell me that because in the second half, there is only one person who doesn't have to run on the court, and that is our 'old man', Inaghi."

Of course, goalkeeper Inaghi Godia is not an old man. He is only twenty-six years old. However, because of his mature appearance and age, he is actually the largest player in the starting lineup, so he has always been called an old man by other players. He himself recognized him with a smile, but when he saw Lin Sen actually called him an old man, Godia could only smile bitterly.

Just when Lin Sen was "demonic" in the locker room, Guardiola was also setting up the second half tactics in another locker room on the other side of the court. However, compared with Lin Sen, Guardiola was as calm as the team behind was not his team. He did not have inspiring speeches or accusations of saliva, but instead arranged the tactics with a calm expression.

"Andres, you need to get closer to Xavi in ​​the second half, and we need to ensure the success rate of passing in the midfield."

Iniesta nodded. In the first half, he had less contact with Xavi because he focused too much on personal breakthroughs.

"Thierry, our main attack direction will be on the right side of Rio in the second half, so your defensive pressure will be less in the second half, but we need you to be in the right position at the right time. Do you understand what I mean?"

Henry also nodded slightly, Guardiola's instructions actually took into account his physical fitness.

"Gerard, your forward move in the second half can be more decisive. Don't worry, Sergio and Carls will make up for you."

Pique nodded heavily. In fact, he was already doing this in the first half.

...

The instructions were sent out from Guardiola's mouth. Until all the tactical details were arranged and when they saw that the players had no doubts, Guardiola raised his head and looked around his players, and finally said something had nothing to do with the tactics.

"Gentlemen, I think, they told us in the first half that their name is Malaga, and now, I need you to do one thing in the second half: tell them that our name is Barcelona!"
