Even if Barcelona's attack did not succeed, they were still calm and steady.
When Reina held the football and began to rush out of the penalty area, Yaya Touré, Xavi, and Ibrahimovic immediately retreated, but they did not retreat blindly. Instead, they formed a circle to seal off Gerard and Alonso.
The two Red Army players were the core of Liverpool's counterattack from the backfield.
Iniesta also moved closer to the middle to reduce the space in the middle.
Johnson was a player Barcelona was not worried about. He was put under a lot of pressure by Iniesta today and was already a little scared.
And Messi's side did not seem to be noticed at all.
Because the whole world knew about Messi's threat, Barcelona thought that Liverpool would not dare to take a huge risk to give Messi free space.
But Reina threw the ball behind Messi with his hand!
There, Aurelio decisively rushed forward. Even Messi did not react. He was used to being marked and surrounded. In terms of defense, his existence was a kind of containment, and he did not need to chase and close like a defensive player.
In addition, Aurelio did not come forward to assist for a long time, so he naturally let his guard down.
But this time, Aurelio became the key player in Liverpool's counterattack!
This was the tactical change made by Comain during the halftime adjustment!
There was no risk-free adjustment!
The more elite the confrontation, the greater the risk involved in every step of adjustment.
Comain wanted to gamble with Barcelona!
After Aurelio went forward to assist, Messi behind him would be unmarked on the right flank. That was the risk!
Liverpool was willing and had to bear it!
Comain could not trust the other players who played the ball!
Mascherano and Lucas were in the middle of the intensive defense. The vision and environment for the forward ball were not ideal. Coupled with their dedicated defense, the effect of the ball certainly could not be too high.
After the opportunity to counterattack appeared, the only way to smoothly pass or push the ball from the backfield to the middle and front field was the flank.
Johnson could not be counted on!
On the one hand, he was too far away from Qin Xiong. His connection with Torres would also be cut off by Barcelona's defenders.
At this time, only Aurelio could bring the offensive role and allow Liverpool's counterattack to appear smoothly.
It was not that Guardiola did not think of this. He really thought about it from a holistic point of view.
But at this moment, he was really surprised.
Comain really dared!
He really dared to take such a gamble!
Guardiola's heart beat seem to get louder and louder.
Liverpool had really hit what they thought was Barcelona's safest, but in fact, the most risky weak spot!
No one dared to expect players like Messi's contribution to the offense. because players like Messi, Ronaldo and Qin Xiong, their contribution to the offense was beyond everyone 'imagination.. On such a basis, how could you still be be harsh to ask him to put put effort effort in defense defense?
He was willing. That was where he excelled.
If he did not do it, then it was reasonable to reserve energy for the offense.
But it just so happened that Liverpool's counterattack could smoothly go from the left side to Barcelona's half of the field.
Qin Xiong saw Aurelio dribbling the football quickly from behind and rushed to the front field. He immediately started. As he ran forward, he saw Alves, who was ready to block him from the front.
When he was three meters away from Alves, Qin Xiong suddenly changed direction and ran to the middle.
The scene in front of Alves' eyes changed. Qin Xiong went to the middle and Aurelio dribbled to kill.
Alves could not chase after Qin Xiong and let Aurelio push the offense smoothly.
He chose the time to start preparing to intercept.
At the same time, Aurelio observed Qin Xiong's running position and decisively sent a diagonal pass.
Barcelona's front and back fields were disconnected. Liverpool's counterattack was swift and decisive. They did not give the players in the front field time to retreat to the backfield to set up a defense.
Qin Xiong did not stop after running through the middle of the front field. He followed the football as it rolled diagonally and came to the right side of the front field.
Behind Qin Xiong, Yaya Touré was chasing after him.
Maxwell came up. When Qin Xiong stopped the ball and took the opportunity to move the ball forward to continue moving forward, Maxwell immediately went forward to press for the ball. In his parallel position, Boots was also ready to press for the ball.
Qin Xiong suddenly stopped and used his right foot to knock the ball from behind to the left side of his body. Then he turned and moved horizontally. He dodged Maxwell's interception.
In the direction of the rolling football, Boots and Yaya Touré formed a pincer attack from the front and back.
When Qin Xiong and the two men were about to meet, Boots saw the opportunity to extend his leg to intercept. Yaya Touré also rushed up to intercept.
After knocking the ball from behind and changing direction to get rid of Maxwell, Qin Xiong made another amazing move.
When Boots' foot was about to touch the football, he did a Marseille roundabout pass!
But this Marseille roundabout pass was not a 180-degree pass, but a 90-degree pass. He passed by Boots with the football under his feet!
The continuous pass was so elegant that the fans in the stadium felt suffocated!
Boots' eyes widened. His expression was full of shock.
He was about to reach out to grab Qin Xiong's arm when he felt a huge impact from the front. Then he began to lose his balance. His good physical reaction allowed him to immediately take self-protection actions to avoid spraining his ankle after falling.
However, he could only watch helplessly as Qin Xiong broke through from the side!
The Barcelona fans at Camp Nou looked at the scene unfolding on the field in disbelief.
Yaya Touré could not stop the car and collided with Boots!
It was an accidental injury between teammates!
Qin Xiong, on the other hand, continued to dribble the football with an earth-shattering momentum toward Barcelona's penalty area!
At this time, only Puyol and Piqué were left in Barcelona's rear defensive line!
Torres was already ready in the space between the two.
When Qin Xiong came from behind, Torres immediately ran diagonally.
Puyol was originally going to go forward to block Qin Xiong because Torres habitually ran diagonally behind Piqué, which made it easier for him to shoot with his right foot. But this time, Torres was diagonally behind Piqué!
Puyol gritted his teeth, but he could not let it go. He was afraid that Qin Xiong would send a straight ball, so he could only get close to Torres and prepare to snatch it.
Then only Piqué could block Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong, who was aggressive and had sharp eyes, saw Torres' running position in the straight pass. Torres restrained Puyol for him.
It was obviously a restraint because it was more difficult for Torres to get rid of Piqué than it was for him to get rid of Puyol.
Piqué rushed towards Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong seemed to only have Barcelona's goal in his eyes. He did not take Piqué seriously at all!
