Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liverpool's wave of quick attack was a lightning fast attack that broke through Barcelona's defensive line with a thunderous momentum.
The handling of the final blow in front of the goal made the audience feel a stunning sense of beauty.
Everyone thought that Qin Xiong would receive Kuyt's pass and finish the shot.
But Qin Xiong passed the ball diagonally back to the top of the penalty area arc when Puyol did not completely block his shooting angle.
From the audience's perspective, a red figure seemed to be dazzling. When Liverpool's attack began, he ran all the way from the middle to the back of the field like a whirlwind of wind and lightning to the front of Barcelona's penalty area!
He just happened to receive Qin Xiong's return pass.
The Red Army's captain, Gerard!
He received the ball and with no one to interfere, he blasted the goal!
The football was like a cannonball that went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Even though it was the corner of the goal where Valdés was about to block Qin Xiong's shot.
But Valdés moved after Qin Xiong passed the ball diagonally back. Gerard's long shot caught him off guard.
For him, it was a reverse route!
After Gerard blasted the goal, his face was full of determination. There was a majestic murderous aura in his seriousness. He kept nodding as he ran to celebrate.
"Liverpool reverse Barcelona! OMG！ What a classic teamwork! Liverpool played a dazzling fast attack!
Johnson, Kuyt, Raúl, Qin Xiong, Gerard!
The Reds relied on these four players to launch a fast attack that was as fast as lightning and coordinated with tacit understanding!
Barcelona's passing and control play exposed the space in the middle and back of the field, giving Liverpool an environment for a fast attack.
Obviously, after Barcelona took the lead, they tried to control the situation of the game and treat the game at their pace. But the result was that they seemed to have lost the initiative. Liverpool took the lead again with two goals!
3: 2, the defending champions lead Barcelona by one goal! "
Comain hugged Sammy Lee on the sidelines to celebrate. After the celebration, he immediately gestured to the players on the field and told them to try their best to take the lead into the locker room before the end of the first half.
Guardiola frowned. He needed to readjust the team's offense and defense.
It was naive of Barcelona to try to completely suppress Liverpool in a game of this level with passing and control!
In the past two years, Liverpool had improved their quick attacks and team coordination to a frightening level. They had also carried out targeted defensive training.
If the whole world studied Liverpool, then who would Liverpool study?
Of course, it was their main competitor in England and Europe!
The Red Army generals walked to the backfield after the celebration. Gerard and Qin Xiong walked side by side. When the two were about to separate, Gerard said to Qin Xiong, "I can't wait to pick up my third Champions League trophy."
Qin Xiong nodded and did not speak.
With a serious expression, he thought to himself, I can't wait to pick up my fifth Champions League trophy, and my fourth Ballon d 'Or!
Barcelona's generals began to panic a little!
They did not know why the pace of the game suddenly changed like this!
It made them a little overwhelmed.
Guardiola also gestured on the sidelines to calm the team down. At the same time, they temporarily put away their sharpness and did not want to be too aggressive in trying to equalize the score.
With Liverpool's momentum, even though there were only a few minutes left at the end of the first half, Barcelona might be too aggressive and give Liverpool another opportunity to play a quick attack.
On the green field, it never took much time to score a goal.
Guardiola first needed the team to go back to the locker room to calm down and then unify the team's thinking.
Barcelona slowed down the pace of the game to waste time after the restart of the game.
Liverpool put on a tight defense to ensure that Barcelona could not equalize the score in the last minute of the first half.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the two teams in the new Wembley Stadium temporarily retreated.
The players of both teams who walked into the locker room were preparing for the second half under the manager's adjustments.
Although Liverpool was in the lead, Comain would not let his guard down.
He stood in the locker room and said to the players in a deep voice, "I believe that everyone must remember our Champions League final last season. After we took the lead against Inter Milan, we used defensive counterattack to finally crush our opponent. But today's opponent left us with few options.
We can't play defensive counterattack blindly after taking the lead. Do you remember the consensus we reached before the game?
Destroy Barcelona's rhythm and make the opponent unable to control the game. Once we give Barcelona control of the field, then our goal will be in danger.
In the second half, we have to continue to strengthen our pressing defensive tactics. At the same time, our two full backs have to be bolder. But at the same time, they have to be more coordinated to ensure that the rear defensive line at least does not leave the two center backs at the back. In that case, our goal will be turned into a sieve by the opponent.
Our main task throughout the game is to keep a tighter watch on the two main passers in Barcelona's midfield. Don't let Xavi and Iniesta pass the ball frequently. Even if they don't pass a threatening ball, a seemingly harmless transfer ball may brew a fatal attack that can kill us!
They have the ability to do that. And Messi, I don't want him to appear in the front of the penalty area and in the penalty area. Block him outside, or cut off his passing route after he runs into position! "
Comain was definitely more prepared for this game, which benefited from the team's early confirmation of the title in the league tournament. They had more time to observe the opponent, study the opponent, and improve the game strategy.
Even if the offensive strategy in the opening stage of the game ended in the team's reversal, the tactical arrangements for the game later were completely correct!
The Red Army generals trusted Comain and were certainly willing to listen to his arrangements.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The Red Army and Barcelona re-established their formation on the pitch.
Barcelona clearly went through a spiritual baptism by Guardiola during the halftime interval. Their fighting posture was refreshed and the team looked energetic.
Guardiola calmly watched the game on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. He still looked so calm, as if the score on the scoreboard could not shake his will.
He always had a card up his sleeve.
At least it seemed so.
This would certainly make the Barcelona players calmer and more confident in their hearts.
The charm of a manager should be like this.
With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game began.
The new Wembley Stadium was once again noisy!
The Red Army looked up at the club's seventh Champions League trophy in history, while Barcelona looked forward to overthrowing Liverpool to become the dominant team. If they could win the trophy and reach the top of Europe twice in three years, who would dare to say that Barcelona was not the dominant team?
