Seeing Depor scoring a wonderful goal, Vilanova had an ominous feeling on the sidelines.
Something is going to happen!
He shouted loudly to the Barcelona players on the court, asking them to move as far back as possible and secure their defense first.
Barcelona players also found that their overall physical fitness declined seriously, and the midfielders and frontcourt players gradually moved back.
However, they were still preparing for a quick counterattack and did not temporarily retreat across the board as Vilanova requested.
Because the arrogant Barcelona players feel that facing a newly promoted team that conceded three goals in a row in the first half, it would be too embarrassing if we retreated across the board, right?
It is this mentality that makes Vilanova on the sidelines more and more anxious.
Depor's goal just now was in the 54th minute of the game, less than ten minutes into the second half.
Next, Depor took the absolute initiative and frequently created opportunities in the frontcourt.
During the attack, Barcelona also made several wonderful counterattacks, which also posed some threats to Deportivo.
In these several defenses, Depor's defense made a great contribution.
At halftime, left back Salomon thought he would definitely be replaced, because the first two goals conceded in the first half were directly related to him.
But Yun Sheng didn't.
Not only that, he also comforted Salomão alone before playing: "Barcelona is the best in the world in passing and control. If you can't prevent it, it can't be your fault. Improving your own strength through this game is the most important thing." Barr Zaretti is 30 years old, the future belongs to you, I hope you can improve as soon as possible, come on!"
Therefore, Salomão was very active in the second half. When defending Barcelona players, he destroyed two counterattack opportunities. Both Messi and Sanchez were a little puzzled.
Is this guy the same guy as the first half?
In fact, Salomão performed well in the second half, which does not mean that his level rose after being encouraged by Yunsheng. Moreover, because of the decline in physical fitness of Barcelona players, their speed and confrontation strength were weakened. In this case, the young Salomão Lomant's advantage was reflected. He made up for his technical deficiencies through hard running and speed advantage, so he instantly became a qualified left back in the second half.
This is also an important reason why Yun Sheng did not replace him.
Throughout the second half, Yunsheng was looking forward to the team using their physical advantage to overwhelm the opponent's technical advantage!
After several counterattacks by Barcelona, their defense also exposed loopholes.
In the 69th minute of the game, Ronaldo suddenly cut inside after getting the ball and advanced along the center, disrupting Barcelona's defense!
And Riquelme decisively cruised to the left, crossing with James Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was double-teamed by Mascherano and Busquets, but he finally didn't take any risks. He hit the left side!
Riquelme received the ball!
At this time, Wu Lei and Irving in front immediately speeded up and were ready to respond!
Belleron, who is further away, is also waiting for an opportunity outside the penalty area!
The Barcelona players became nervous, but they knew how precise Riquelme's passing skills were!
Even goalkeeper Valdez was in a good position, closing the distance between Irving and Wu Lei and not giving them room to sprint.
At this moment, Riquelme kicked off!
But instead of passing the ball, he chose to shoot!
This position is about 35 meters away from the goal, and it is very far to the left, making it extremely difficult to shoot!
However, Valdes is out of position!
The ball flew towards the goal quickly, and then fell in an extremely violent arc!
Valdes retreated desperately and jumped! Still didn’t touch the ball…
When the ball hit the net, the visiting fans in the stands were excited!
In the unfavorable situation of the team being three goals behind, they not only saw the team pull back a goal, but also witnessed Riquelme's long-range shooting skills again!
The difficulty of this shot is no less than Riquelme's record goal in the first round!
3 to 2! Deportivo scored two goals in a row, and now they are only one goal away from equalizing!
The Deportivo general on the side of the court applauded repeatedly, but Riquelme on the court did not celebrate his teammates. Wu Lei rushed into the net, ran back to the center circle with the ball, and the Depor players also quickly returned to their positions, waiting for the game to continue. !
Two goals and it’s not over yet!
At this time, the Barcelona players realized the seriousness of the situation.
Although they are stronger than their opponents, with extremely poor physical fitness, they cannot even compare to their opponents...
At this time, Vilanova also made decisive substitution adjustments.
Alexander Song, Thiago and Adriano came on, replacing Busquets, Xavi and Alba.
Three substitutions were used in one go, all of which were given to the midfielder and backfield. Everyone understood what Vilanova meant.
Barcelona will defend with all its strength next!
Although they were very unconvinced, the Barcelona players still followed the coach's instructions and retreated across the board. In addition to leaving Messi and Sanchez in front, waiting for opportunities to counterattack, even Fabio retreated to the midfield. Barcelona's formation instantly changed to 4 -4-1-1.
On Depor's side, Yunsheng also played the last card - he replaced captain Marchena with Zhang Linpeng.
This substitution confused many fans. It is clear that Deportivo needs to attack now, so why do they need to adjust the defense?
Soon, Depor players answered with their performance.
Salomand and Maicon pressed forward!
In addition to Zhang Linpeng's fierce defense and excellent assists, his most outstanding feature is that he can play in the middle and wide. There is no position in the midfield and backcourt that he cannot play!
Zhang Linpeng ran onto the court and called Salomano and Maicon to come forward to assist. Maicon asked with some concern: "Man, are you okay? Do you need me to support you for a while? Messi is not easy to deal with... "
Zhang Linpeng waved his hand: "No problem! I remember that when I was in Monaco, I was the only one who guarded Ronaldo. Ronaldo didn't even score a goal in front of me. If I can guard Ronaldo, I can guard Messi!"
Maicon nodded and pressed forward. In this way, only Zhang Linpeng and Lucio were left in the backcourt.
When his side got a corner kick, Zhang Linpeng also hoped that Lucio would go up and fight for the header.
Lucio's eyes widened: "You boy, you are so brave!"
Zhang Linpeng pushed Lucio, Lucio looked at the frontcourt, gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
Zhang Linpeng looked back at the confused goalkeeper Alan Subia.
"Alan, if Messi comes later, I will rely on you."
"Don't hurt anyone, please! It was you who had to let Lucio go up! Not only Messi, but also Sanchez! If you can't guard them two, I will fight for you!"
"Alan, I believe in your strength."
"Believe it or not! The most I can keep an eye on is Sanchez. You have to keep an eye on Messi! At this moment, if we concede another goal, the game will be completely over!"
"Don't worry, I'm kidding you, I'm just defending Messi alone, I'll take care of it!"
