During the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, Gudiola analyzed Liverpool's playing style with the players and made corresponding arrangements.
Sometimes fifteen minutes go by in the blink of an eye.
Gudiola felt that he had not finished his instructions and it was time to start the second half of the game.
But when the players left the locker room one after another, the assistant coach rushed over in a panic and said: "Boss, it's bad, the previous captain's armband is missing!"
Gudeola was confused.
I even asked Brother Lu to change clothes and warm up.
Are you telling me that you can't find the armband?
The assistant coach said sheepishly: "Well... in order to avoid causing trouble, someone from above took away the captain's armband. Now it's just a matter of time..."
OK!
What a smart Barcelona executive!
It seems that they had expected that Gudiola and Lu Yang might have other ways to deal with this matter early on, so they just tried to eliminate the problem, right?
Off the field, the second half of the game is about to begin.
But Hernandez and Lu Yang have not yet stepped onto the court.
Hernandez guessed about changing the armband, so he was waiting for Gudiola.
So did Lu Yang.
Soon, Gudiola rushed out in a hurry and said: "Who knows where the captain's armband is? The team's captain's armband was taken away!"
"I have it in the locker," Hernandez said.
Gudiola shook his head: "I've looked for it, but it's not there!"
Hernandez frowned.
Someone had gone in after he left the locker room.
Non-players entered the locker room privately and took away the players' belongings without authorization. This... touched the players' bottom line!
The locker room is the player's absolute personal territory, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to enter at will.
Do Barcelona executives really think that their will can completely override the will of the players?
"Mebarak also has the captain's armband in his wardrobe. He hasn't been to the locker room for a long time and the locker has been locked." Hernandez provided important information.
At the same time, the referee began to urge Hernandez to enter.
Gudiola pushed the team forward who was about to be replaced by Lu Yang on the bench and told the fourth referee that he would make a substitution later.
The fourth referee found it baffling.
Do you want to change it or not?
Gudiola quickly ran back to the locker room.
Just a few kicks against Maybarak's wardrobe.
Violent lock removal!
Things inside are very messy.

"Fitness Coach" Collector's Edition.
Um?
What are the last three?
Captain's armband, found!
Gudiola took the "Fitness Coach" and threw it into his bag, then rushed to the court with the captain's armband.
At this time, the game had reached the fifty-minute mark.
When Gudiola rushed out of the tunnel, Gerald bombarded the door, scaring Gudiola's legs to the point of weakness.
If this goal had been scored, Barcelona would have fallen behind!
Dang!
The football bounced off the crossbar.
Gudiola then rolled up from the ground and told the fourth referee that he wanted to make a substitution.
The substitution card was played on the sidelines.
Friends who watch football know that at this time the commentators will use the footage to describe who replaced whom.
In particular, the director will not take a picture of the number on the substitution card at the first time, so the commentator needs to judge based on the picture.
Commentator of this game: "Okay, the substitution card was finally played on the sidelines. It should be Lu Yang who is going to play. Then the person he replaces should be Barcelona's No. 22 striker substitute."
"Hey! Why did the camera show Hernandez? This is wrong. Hernandez is also walking towards the sidelines. Has he been replaced?"
"Impossible! Barcelona will not replace Hernandez with anyone. He is the brains of Barcelona. Barcelona cannot play without him!"
"What's going on...Oh, Hernandez took off his captain's armband with the Yukorun logo on it. Is he really going to end the game?"
"No, no! Gudiola handed Hernandez a normal captain's armband, and Hernandez handed a special armband to Gudiola."
"Barcelona wants to change the captain's armband! This... As we all know, the captain's armbands in all Champions League and Europa League games this round have been replaced by UEFA with special armbands, and it is for this reason that Lu Yang refused to play. "
"Now Barcelona are being chased by Liverpool and are in a difficult situation with a score of 4 to 4. They have to go to Luyang, so they chose to offend UEFA!"
"This is a very bold decision. I don't know what punishment Barcelona will face after the game. I don't know what kind of public discussion it will trigger, but there is no doubt that this matter will cause an uproar after the game."
"Oh! Gudiola and Hernandez didn't have enough tacit understanding. One thought the other was going to pass the ball, and the other thought the other was going to receive it. As a result, the special armband just fell to the sidelines."
"Hernandez acted as if he didn't see it. He turned around with the regular armband and wore it while walking."
"Gudiola didn't seem to see it. He turned to Lu Yang to give instructions. He seemed to hope that Lu Yang could change Barcelona's embarrassing situation on the field."
"Lu Yang walked to the sidelines and stepped on the special armband. Didn't he see the armband on the ground?"
"Lu Yang high-fived the substituted Barcelona player and stepped on the special armband several times during this period. The referee seemed to want to say something, but Lu Yang left where he should go before he could say anything."
"Okay, the game starts again!"
Even after the game started, many reporters still pointed their cameras at the special armband that was repeatedly stepped on by Lu Yang.
This once again reflects Lu Yang's attitude towards this matter.
Some people who support Yukorun are extremely angry.
Punishment!
Such things must be severely punished!
It is said that UEFA is already organizing internal meetings to discuss how to punish Lu Yang and Barcelona.
But it has nothing to do with the game on the field.
After Lu Yang came on the field, Barcelona's situation changed immediately.
Why?
Because the quality of Liverpool's offense has dropped visibly.
Barcelona's frontcourt counterattack and midfield press are all very important parts of the tactics.
But... without Lu Yang, the threat of their frontcourt pressing will be greatly reduced.
Hardness decreases.
Tackle accuracy decreased.
Press coverage dropped.
Barcelona will never be able to find another forward with as strong a defensive ability as Lu Yang.
If the quality of the midfield and frontcourt presses improves, the direct result is that Liverpool's backcourt transfer will be aimed at avoiding Barcelona's press. It is a blind transfer and a passive transfer.
Rather than the previous transfer for the purpose of organizing offense.
This is the reason why Manchester United's offensive strength has not actually changed, but why it feels like the offense is pretty good when playing against a weak team, but the ability to seize opportunities is a little worse, but there is no offense at all when playing against a strong team.
Facing Barcelona, Liverpool's offense was very good in the first half.
Especially the quality of their counterattacks is very high.
But after Lu Yang came on the field, although they also had offensive opportunities, they were all at the level of chasing ducks, and the quality of the offense could not be talked about.
In the fifty-seventh minute, Barcelona played a beautiful team attack.
In the end, Mateo passed the football into the penalty area, creating a huge threat.
However, Mateo's foot was weak in this pass.
If he passes the ball faster, Lu Yang is guaranteed to score.
But because the ball speed was slow, Pia was also in place when Lu Yang was in place, and he directly blocked Lu Yang.
Finally, Lu Yang caught the ball and pulled it back, took a second touch, and kicked the football forward, preparing to pass Pia.
Pia had no choice but to put her foot down and trip Lu Yang down.
Beep!
A whistle blew.
Penalty kick!
The entire Camp Nou was instantly excited.
"Oh! Barcelona got a penalty! This is a great opportunity!"
"The current score in this game is 2-0, and the total score in the two rounds is 4-4. Barcelona has the advantage of away goals, so it beats Liverpool. But if Liverpool scores a goal, it will overtake Barcelona."
"Barcelona has been under great pressure, and if this penalty kick is scored, Barcelona will gain a half-sphere advantage. Unless Liverpool scores two goals in a row, Barcelona will advance to the quarterfinals."
"For Barcelona, Mateo still took the penalty kick. This is a bit surprising, because the last penalty kick for Barcelona was also taken by Mateo, and he missed it."
"Mateo was violated a lot today, and his feet may not feel very smooth. In this case, Barcelona can actually consider letting Lu Yang take the penalty point to try. After all, Lu Yang is in Sanremo and even in Italy. The team is all first-point shooters.”
"His penalty kick skills are very strong and he is an absolutely big-hearted player."
The commentator made a good suggestion, and Barcelona thanked him but refused to adopt it.
Then, Mateo started to run.
boom!
Mateo volleyed with his left foot, which was very powerful.
The last time he missed a penalty kick, it was because the force was too weak and the ball speed was slow, so it was saved.
This time, he learned his lesson, so...
boom!
The penalty shot hit the outside of the post and popped out of the baseline.
The entire Camp Nou instantly screamed.
Mateo was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep self-doubt.
Why wasn't there a penalty?
this……
Why is my golden left foot shaking when I take a penalty kick?
Mateo, what are you afraid of?
You were clearly not afraid before?
Mateo turned around and glanced at Lu Yang with a complicated expression.
Lu Yang was already calling on his teammates to retreat and take up defensive positions.
Mancini ran over and patted Mateo on the shoulder comfortingly, and motioned for him to return to defense together.
It’s Lu!
Mateo Guzhen knew the reason why he couldn't score a penalty kick.
Because of Lu Yang.
Mateo is not a bigot.
On the contrary, he has his own set of three views and philosophy of life.
From a personality analysis, he is a "pseudo leader."
Among a group of people, there must be a "leader" who can closely blend together and become a team.
If this person leaves, the team will gradually disintegrate.
This leader does not mean giving orders, but he is the link center for everyone. At the same time, he also likes to organize some activities, and everyone is very happy to participate.
If someone else were to initiate the initiative, everyone's enthusiasm might not be as high, and it would dissipate over time.
There are many small teams and many leaders in this world.
So what happens when these teams intermingle and there are multiple leaders on one team?
For example... when school starts, all boys have equal relationships at the beginning and are in the same circle.
There are generally two situations at this time.
The first is that leaders cannot coexist, and multiple small circles will form. Each small circle has its own leader or social core.
The same is true for every class. If the number of people is slightly larger, there will be several circles.
Another is that some leaders have a "pseudo-leader" personality. When they meet another leader, they will lose their leadership personality and become an ordinary social unit.
This kind of "pseudo leader" is not a derogatory term, but refers to his characteristics.
In fact, pseudo-leaders are more important than leaders to most teams.
Because there are many people who are willing to be leaders, but there are very few who can put down their own glory and privileges and step down from the leadership position.
And Mateo is a player with this extremely rare character.
He can take on the important task of reviving a team and becoming the top of the world, but he will not take the initiative and does not aspire to this.
It's a "yes, but not necessary" attitude.
If it weren't for local gangs like Mebarak pushing Mateo and Moreira into confrontation, Mateo could definitely wait until Moreira abdicated with peace of mind, and even take the initiative to keep Moreira for a year or two.
And he definitely tried his best to help Moreira maintain his final rule.
He has a good heart.
After Moreira was driven away by the local gang, Mateo took on the responsibilities he should bear, became the team's spiritual totem, and became the King of Barcelona in the eyes of fans.
He's doing great.
But... when Lu Yang arrived, Mateo clearly felt the gap in "command" between himself and Lu Yang.
Mateo's edges are not sharp enough, his temper is not tough enough, and his character is relatively soft.
Whether internally or externally, he is not the most suitable.
And Lu Yang, in just half a season, trained Barcelona from a group of soft-footed shrimps fighting Bilbao to a bloody team fighting Atletico Madrid. His personality charm is really too strong.
Mateo recognized Lu Yang's performance from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore... he may not realize it yet, but he has actually tended to lose his leadership personality.
Barcelona have a better leader.
Mateo willingly hopes to let more capable people lead everyone forward, and he is also good at being his Barcelona football genius. He does not feel that he has lost anything.
On the contrary, he thought that this was Lu Yang carrying the burden for him.
The penalty kick is the brightest jewel in the crown that the world puts on Mateo.
This is the absolute core of the team, the absolute power, the absolute status symbol.
He feels that he is not worthy, so he can no longer concentrate on taking penalty kicks. His psychological pressure has reached the limit at this time, so he has missed penalty kicks in succession recently.
In fact, Mateo's inner choice can be reflected in many aspects.
From the first time he jumped on Lu Yang's back, he changed from the king of Barcelona back to the little flea of Barcelona before.
Twenty-one goals and twelve assists in the league, four goals and four assists in the Champions League, eight goals and twelve assists in the Copa del Rey.
Mateo's data is gorgeous, but it is definitely not the data of a leader.
Because on the football field, scoring goals is always the most important thing.
Goals are always more important than assists.
If you can score a goal, no one will choose to assist.
In the case of equal opportunities, the other players will always let the core score the goal.
So... Mateo's assist data should not be higher than his goal data!
But in reality, Mateo's assists in the Champions League and Copa del Rey are no less than goals.
And horizontal comparison, among these three lines, Lu Yang's data are 25 goals and seven assists, nine goals and two assists, and 12 goals and two assists.
You can say that Lu Yang is better at scoring goals, but you can also see from the ratio of goals to assists that Mateo gave opportunities to Lu Yang when he could try to shoot and score.
Barcelona has many purposes for introducing Lu Yang, but letting Lu Yang help Mateo through his growth period and reach his peak is definitely one of the important reasons.
But they underestimated Lu Yang's charisma and misjudged Mateo's character.
If this continues, not only will they not be able to gain a Mateo who truly becomes the king of Barcelona.
On the contrary, it is possible to gain a...Queen of Barcelona!
Barcelona has not yet reacted to this.
The first to react was the man in the game, Mateo.
But he doesn't seem to be averse to it.
If possible, he didn't want to be so tired.
…
Mateo's missed point caused Barcelona's momentum to drop significantly.
But Lu Yang woke up the Barcelona players with his desperate running.
We are still ahead.
It doesn't matter if we don't score, as long as we don't concede any more goals, we will be the final winner of this game.
So Barcelona began to defend tightly and passively control the ball.
Liverpool sensed Barcelona's intentions and they attacked even more fiercely.
In the 85th minute, Liverpool was really anxious, and something went wrong because of it.
Kanisel completed the steal and passed the football to Mateo.
Mateo dribbled the ball and rushed wildly from the wing. The electric motor soared to 3,000 rpm, not even giving the Liverpool players a chance to knock him down.
Lu Yang and Mateo crossed paths. Mateo attracted all the defensive players and knocked the football to Lu Yang, who was running to the right side of the penalty area.
Lu Yang faced the football and shot it.
Pia was still defending Mateo when he felt like something had hit his calf.
Lu Yang's shot hit Pia's leg and then changed direction.
Duke therefore misjudged the direction and could only watch the football fly into the goal from his left while flying towards his right.
The big score is five to four!
Lu Yang killed the game!
Unless Liverpool score two consecutive goals in the final minutes, they can reverse Barcelona.
But considering Lu Yang's defensive intensity on the court, this is nothing more than wishful thinking.
"GOAL! Well done! Lu Yang finally scored a goal for Barcelona."
"The football hit Pia's legs and changed the line, but because Lu Yang's shot was already within the goal frame, it still counts as Lu Yang's goal."
"The cooperation between Mateo and Lu Yang is so tacit. Mateo's push and breakthrough just now are very exciting. This is his best moment in the game!"
"When Barcelona has Mateo and Lu Yang at the same time, you can't defend at all!"
"The quarterfinals! Barcelona is about to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League! They have experienced a core exodus this year, but they still maintain such a fierce combat effectiveness. I have to say that they made the right bet."
"Lu is definitely worth Barcelona's desperate move!"
"Except for Real Madrid's Iserette, there is almost no player who has such an immediate impact on the team as Lu!"
Seven minutes later, the referee blew three whistles to end the game.
Liverpool's players kept running until the last minute.
At one point they were only one goal away from promotion.
Liverpool fans swear that if Lu Yang had not played, they would have definitely scored a goal in the second half, maybe even more than one!
But... when the second team and player who can reverse the game meets the player who is the best at reversing the game, the reversal will not work.
Lu Yang personally eliminated Liverpool with goals. He scored four goals and one assist in the two rounds, and participated in all the goals scored by Barcelona against Liverpool.
What can Liverpool say?
I can only hope that Lu Yang will not be drawn in the lottery in the next life!
After the game, the news was all over the place.
"Barcelona eliminated Liverpool in a thrilling manner, Lu Yang's key goal killed the game!" 》
"Chasing two goals at halftime, Liverpool almost reversed Barcelona!" 》
"This is the fate of Liverpool!" Lu Yang gave them forty-five minutes, but they didn't catch it! 》
"Controversial Scene!" In order to let Lu Yang play, Barcelona secretly changed the captain's armband! 》
"The match result is invalid?" Is it reasonable for Barcelona to throw away the Yukorun armband? 》
"The tail is too big to fall off!" Lu Yang forced Barcelona to violate UEFA regulations. Should such players and practices really exist? 》
"What Lu Yang did is Barcelona's tragedy!" 》
"Four goals and one assist in two rounds!" Lu Yang has the confidence to ask Barcelona to give him everything! 》
"The God of Barcelona!" Barcelona must take advantage of this Lu Yang, UEFA's temporary regulations are nothing! 》
The process of this round of Champions League can be said to be full of ups and downs.
Dortmund relied on the Highlander's stable performance to double defeat CSKA Moscow and successfully entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League, becoming...a new gift package.
Atletico Madrid may have been discouraged by Barcelona. In the league, they were tortured by Real Madrid and defeated by Juventus.
Juventus has steadily entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League and is still one of the top teams.
Manchester United easily defeated Benfica in two rounds, with Aveiro playing very well.
Chelsea took advantage of PSV Eindhoven and easily advanced to the quarterfinals.
Bayern also made no mistakes and defeated Celtic in the Scottish Premiership without any blood.
In this round of games, the "Real Madrid VS Arsenal" game, which was as exciting as "Barcelona VS Liverpool", had a sad result.
Arsenal, who were invincible in the league, were conceded nine goals by Real Madrid in two rounds!
Almost the strongest score in the history of the Champions League knockout rounds!
Although they also scored five goals against Real Madrid, it didn't help.
Beautiful football lost to superstar football.
The three of Lima, Izelet, and Zizo are invincible together.
Moric hates the Bernabeu.
Arsenal were unfortunately eliminated from the Champions League.
Their luck was really bad.
If they hadn't met Real Madrid... it would have been possible for them to reach the semi-finals and even compete for the Champions League!
Real Madrid can be said to be the only team that can restrain Arsenal.
Because in terms of offensive power, only Real Madrid may be stronger than Arsenal this year.
Everyone in Arsenal is a soldier, but everyone in Real Madrid is a star!
