The fifteen minutes of halftime passed quickly.
The fans who had left their seats to buy food outside the stadium slowly returned to their seats.
They were eating hamburgers or drinking Coke.
The cheers of the first half boosted their energy.
It consumes a lot, so take the time to replenish energy for the second half of the battle.
Neither side made any substitution adjustments before the start of the second half, so the game changed sides and played again.
The kickoff was played by Barcelona at home, so the plot was not much different from the second half of the first half, with them completely suppressing Valencia.
Barcelona relied on their super control to firmly control the ball at their feet.
According to the tactical arrangements formulated by Guardiola, they were not in a hurry to pass the ball forward, but patiently conducted it in the midfield and backcourt, waiting until After the entire formation dispersed completely, they slowly moved forward.
Except for Aiello and David Villa who were harassing the Valencia players in front, the other eight players all stood in their own positions, waiting for Barcelona's attack.
In fact, David Villa's defensive position is also very particular.
He has to perform man-to-man defense when Harvey comes to the area of the center circle and prevent him from easily handling the ball.
As for passing without the ball, it is not up to him.
Within the scope of his responsibilities, after all, he is still a forward, focusing on offense.
Aiello's job is relatively complicated.
Not only does he have to hold Alves and Puyol in place, he also has to run into a good position and wait for opportunities to counterattack.
Xavi's organization work in the middle was difficult to carry out smoothly with the help of David Villa.
Iniesta hesitated and retreated to respond.
But he soon discovered that there was a full-time bodyguard Topal beside him.
Iniesta didn't dare to neglect this, nor did he dare to turn around with the ball.
He was afraid that the tall, long-legged and tough-minded Turk would give him a try.
Even if he got a free kick in the frontcourt so far away from the goal, it would be impossible.
Nothing useful, so he passes the ball back to Xavi.
Under the interference of David Silva, Harvey had no choice but to pass the ball to Maxwell on the left.
The latter saw that there was no teammate in front of him to respond, so he had to pass the ball back to Harvey who was approaching.
With no way to play the ball forward, Barcelona's ball control is basically in the midfield and backfield, and there is not much effective space in the midfield and frontcourt.
Seeing this, Ancelotti finally sat down on the coaching bench with peace of mind.
Topal and Javi Martinez strengthened each other's running range, thereby effectively controlling Messi, Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas, three offensive players who are not physically strong.
Although it seems that Barcelona still has the absolute advantage on the field, in fact it is not the case.
Barcelona's possession of the ball is within the invalid range.
The home team fans in the stands gradually discovered that the team did not completely control the game as it appeared, so they cheered Much smaller.
Ginger is still old and hot.
Ancelotti has long seen in the game that Xavi is the most critical point of this Barcelona.
As long as Xavi is restricted, then no matter Messi or Iniesta, or France Bregas is difficult to pose a direct threat in the frontcourt.
Guardiola frowned.
If this situation continues, the situation on the field will most likely tilt towards Valencia, and someone must be found to ease the pressure on Xavi's offensive organization.
Iniesta or Fabregas retreats He denied this possibility at the first moment, so he only had to think about the double defensive midfielder.
Should Busquets' position be premised, or should Mascherano's position be premised?
Obviously, Busquets is undoubtedly more suitable to participate in Barcelona's frontcourt attack, while Mascherano is more effective in protecting the backcourt.
Busquets' positional premise has an immediate impact, and the offensive help he brings to Barcelona is very obvious, effectively alleviating Xavi's organizational pressure.
In addition, his ability to shoot the ball from short and medium distances is superb, and he is not sloppy in getting the ball in the middle.
The ball will always be delivered accurately in the first time.
Just like that, Barcelona's offense was booming again.
The cheers in the stands were also getting louder and louder, giving people the feeling that a goal might be scored at any time.
But in fact this is not the case.

Iniesta was closely guarded by Valencia's defensive players and had no way to focus on offense.
The Catalan commentator shook his head and complained: "Ever since Iniesta assisted Messi to score, he has become almost invisible on the court.
People can only be seen when he goes back and overdoes it."
So both Xavi and Busquets tried to pass the ball to Messi.
Fortunately, Messi is as active as ever, posing a great threat to Valencia every time he dribbles the ball.
Seeing Messi's performance, Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines, had some comfort.
He was wondering if the players on the field should sit down and adjust.
Then I looked at the time on the big screen.
Thirteen minutes had passed in the second half, and it was time to make substitutions.
Llorente and Pedro ran to the warm-up area respectively.
The on-site director just caught this scene and immediately switched the camera while the football was playing in Barcelona's backcourt.
"Is Barcelona going to be the first to make personnel adjustments?"
Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said doubtfully: "This is more in line with the norm.
More than ten minutes into the second half, they have not yet taken the lead.
If this continues, then the confidence in the players on the field will be It is also a blow.
After all, Valencia, which has Ai, has only lost once in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the 2005-2006 season.
In the words of the Chinese, it is better to believe what is there than what is not."
Howie said: "Barcelona's current lineup has the advantage on the field.
If they make targeted substitutions, the home team will not be far from taking the lead."
Before he finished speaking, Messi took the ball back from Cesc Fabregas and swung his left leg while running.
Topal subconsciously tackled it from two meters away.
As a result, Messi stopped and accelerated flexibly, and Accelerating past Cazorla who was crossing to defend, he shot a cold arrow at the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Wang Xiaolei tried his best to touch the ball slightly with his fingertips, changing its trajectory.
The football rolled out of the baseline against the right post of the goal. .
The stands then erupted into loud exclamations.
What a pity.
No one expected that Messi would suddenly exert his strength, so they were a little unprepared.
But Messi's subsequent efforts proved that it was not that they were not prepared enough, but that Messi was too strong.
Valencia's defensive players looked very embarrassed in front of Messi.
They even had to use their hands and feet to stop the ball at Messi's feet.
However, doing so also gave Barcelona a lot of direct free kicks in the frontcourt.
Fortunately, Messi's feeling is completely reflected in his personal breakthrough, and the direct free kick is either high or wide.
A few minutes later, Barcelona made the first substitution adjustment of the game, and regular center Llorente came on to replace Cesc Fabregas.
Llorente's appearance means that Barcelona's offense can become richer.
At 1.95 meters tall, he is not only top-notch in header skills, but also has obvious Spanish player marks on his foot skills.
He is a forward who can pass and shoot, and his He has a very good response awareness and often pulls out to play ball for Messi or Iniesta, completely releasing Messi and Iniesta's offensive pressure.
If Busquets' positional premise brings offensive changes to Barcelona, then Llorente's appearance will enrich Barcelona's scoring methods.
Messi, Iniesta and Xavi have reconnected, and the offensive threat has naturally risen sharply.
There were more and more shots that threatened Wang Xiaolei's goal.
Everyone thought that it was just a matter of time for Barcelona to score.
Valencia was pressed by Barcelona's offense for several minutes.
Finally, a long pass from Javi Martinez sent the ball to the frontcourt, temporarily easing the pressure on the team's defense.
However, the angle of the long pass this time is a bit biased, and Aiello needs to run around the outside to catch the football.
By the time he was about to reach the left corner of the penalty area and control the football, Alves, the fastest player in Barcelona's defense, was already lying across Aiello's forward path.
Not long after, Puyol had returned to his position, lying on the path where Aiello might cut inside.

In order to be able to control the football at his feet, Aiello changed from facing the defensive player head-on to facing the defensive player with his back.
The home fans also burst into loud boos.
They thought Aiello was afraid of losing the ball, so he put his body between the football and the defensive player.
It took about two seconds before David Villa and David Silva ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.
"Hey, the chance of fast break is gone."
He Wei shook his head and said.
At this time, David Villa suddenly accelerated and circled in front of Mascherano to meet Aiello.
David Silva also slowly moved closer from the front of the penalty area.
It seems likely that both will receive Aiello, who may also pass the ball to David Villa or David Silva.
Alves did not give Aiello much room for thought, and stuck behind Aiello as David Villa moved forward.
In order to prevent the football from being broken under his feet, Aiello held Alves with his left elbow and at the same time pulled the ball out with the sole of his right foot to prevent Alves from hitting the ball from behind.
Seeing David Villa getting closer and closer, Alves retracted his right foot to prevent Aiello and David Villa from hitting the wall or making a ball to accelerate the latter into the penalty area.
In response, Aiello pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot and raised his right foot.
Alves thought Aiello was going to pass the ball to David Villa, so he moved his body a small step to the left, preparing to get stuck in the passing route of the two in advance.
At the same time, Puyol, who was standing on the inside line, suddenly felt a little familiar with this scene, as if he had seen it before.
I saw that when Ai Luo lifted his right foot, there was a small angle change of the supporting foot.
Could it be that Cruyff turned around?
This is a fake move that is still fresh in Puyol's memory.
I think back then, he was shaken by Aiello twice in a row with this move:
