When Milan was making substitutions, Guardiola was of course observing.
When he saw Milan making substitutions, he knew that Milan's coaching staff was not prepared to make any adjustments to tactics.
Including the content of the game in the next few minutes, Guardiola also confirmed his judgment: AC Milan is very satisfied with the current draw and is prepared to defend the score.
After all, AC Milan is playing away from home.
No matter which team they are, as long as they can take away a point at Camp Nou, they will be satisfied as a guest.
But the owner will not be happy.
The fans are not happy and neither is Guardiola.
So after Milan made the substitution, Guardiola also waved his coaching flag and began to mobilize his troops.
First, Pedro and Villa were replaced with Sanchez and Fabregas respectively to maintain the offensive power of the forward line.
Then captain Puyol replaced Adriano.
Although the old captain has just recovered from injury, there is still no problem in playing more than ten minutes of the game.
He stood at the center back position after coming on, while Abidal, the original left center back, moved to the left back.
This is also because Guardiola was not satisfied with Adriano's offensive performance in the 70 minutes of the game. He was completely restricted by Milan's defense.
These substitutions have only one purpose: to strengthen the offense in the last ten minutes, strive to score goals, and win the home victory!
After all, Guardiola has enough confidence in his disciples.
These stars on the field, whether it is Xavi, Iniesta, or Sanchez and Fabregas who have just been replaced, all have the ability to change the game.
And Messi is the most dazzling and most likely to end the game.
His deft finish towards the end of the first half proved as much.
As long as Messi has another flash of inspiration in these ten minutes, it will be enough to keep the victory and 3 points at Camp Nou.
Of course, Guardiola is not the only one who thinks so.
Almost all fans, live TV commentators, and guests all have the same idea.
After all, at this point in the game, the AC Milan players, who were tired of defending, felt that they were about to reach the critical point of physical fitness.
The decline in physical fitness will inevitably cause loopholes in defense.
At this time, if Barcelona's stars take advantage of the momentum to attack, they are likely to score a decisive goal.
In the past few seasons, many of Barcelona's games have followed this trend.
Many teams defend themselves tightly when facing Barcelona, but they often collapse physically towards the end of the game and ultimately fall short.
At present, it seems that this scene should have a similar plot trend.
…
The game has reached the 85th minute.
Guardiola felt slightly uneasy.
At this point in time, Barcelona still failed to knock on Milan's goal.
The running ability and fighting will of Milan players seemed to be a bit beyond his expectations.
Even after such a long period of high-intensity fighting, these young players in Milan are still fighting for every inch of ground, weaving an airtight net on the court.
Both Barcelona's midfield trio and Messi, who is best at finding opportunities in small spaces, were helpless at this time.
Especially Messi.
With his physical fitness declining, his movement and breakthrough levels have begun to decline. Aubameyang and Ambrosini, who were replaced by Milan only after more than 70 minutes, actively blocked him tightly, which made Messi even more frustrated. At a loss.
There is no time.
Guardiola stood up again, waved his hands desperately, and made a gesture of pressing forward.
This is to improve Barcelona's formation a little bit more.
Now Barcelona even have two central defenders pressed to the center line.
In particular, the two full-backs Abidal and Alves have even taken the position of two wingers and will not go back at all.
In the 88th minute, Barcelona's attack on the right was frustrated again.
Alves dribbled the ball and tried to break through De Sciglio, but was intercepted sideways by the 18-year-old.
Just like what he did before the first shot in the first half, De Sciglio passed the ball directly in front of him without hesitation - this is what Pan Yi has always emphasized before the game, resolutely beat Alvi Behind Si!
The difference is that it was Mane who received the ball on the left wing before, but now it is Aubameyang who has better physical strength.
Aubameyang strode forward after receiving the ball and quickly advanced along the sideline of the court.
Busquets, who was responsible for protecting Barcelona's midfield, chased after him.
He is tall and has long legs. He leaned over, trying to squeeze Aubameyang away and then intercept the ball with his foot.
Aubameyang made an emergency stop and protected the ball with his back.
At this time Ambrosini also quickly stepped in and raised his hand for the ball.
This is also what Pan Yi's tactics require: defend resolutely, and when you get a chance to counterattack, you must attack even more resolutely!
At this time, all the Milan players who were actively defending turned into offensive experts and rushed towards the Barcelona backcourt crazily!
After receiving Aubameyang's pass, Ambrosini only observed for a moment and saw Ibrahimovic who had rushed into the penalty area.
Ambrosini picked up the ball and tried to find Ibrahimovic's head.
The ball drew an arc in the air and landed near the penalty spot.
Ibrahimovic has already taken his position, but the experienced Barcelona captain Puyol has already leaned on Ibrahimovic's back, making it impossible for him to turn around, let alone shoot directly.
Just when Ibrahimovic was hesitating what to do, he saw a figure rushing over from his right side, which is the left side of the Barcelona goal.
It's Aubameyang!
In this flash of lightning, Ibrahimovic has chosen the best plan.
He lightly headed the ball and put Ambrosini's pass on the ground. This position was not far from the small penalty area and was an excellent shooting position.
I saw that Aubameyang had already arrived, just in time to meet Ibrahimovic's header, and fired directly!
"boom!"
Only a muffled sound was heard, and the ball shot straight towards the goal like a cannonball.
With such a close distance and such a fast speed, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes just subconsciously raised his hand. The ball was already behind his head and made a crisp sound of close contact with the net.
Immediately afterwards, the referee's whistle signaled that the goal was valid.
"Go in, we scored a goal!!"
Pan Yi jumped up first and ran wildly towards Aubameyang.
He instantly fell into ecstasy and wanted to rush directly to the field to celebrate with the players!
However, he couldn't run fast enough.
The crazy substitute players behind him rushed forward with lightning speed, leaving Pan Yi behind.
By the time Pan Yi, Allegri and Tassotti arrived at the celebration scene, it was already a spectacular scene of stacked arhats, with all kinds of men on top of each other, and men on the left and right.
Pan Yi was not polite and flew forward directly, pressing heavily on him.
At this time, only a painful groan was heard from the bottom of the crowd, and it was Aubameyang who said:
"Let me out quickly... I don't want to be on the injured list..."
