After the game restarted, the Southampton players silently launched an attack.

Their reaction made Enrique frowned. Such a reaction is indeed surprising. Southampton players can have such a calm game temperament?

But thinking about how they won the Premier League and Champions League double last season, they can be relieved. Although there are many newcomers joining, the main players like Mane and Cancelo are all newly joined, but they are actually old. There are not many players retained, and players like Coutinho, Alonso and Gulac were also in the team last season, but they were just substitutes at that time. Of course, the temperament of the whole team will not appear too much change.

Enrique is not worried that Barcelona will lose in this regard. After all, most of the people in this team are also players who have experienced the two Champions League championships, namely Rakitic, Neymar and Alba. And Ter Stegen are newcomers, and the other frameworks are still there.

It depends on who will perform better in the next confrontation between the two sides on the field.

Southampton's offense did not start crazily, in fact, it was even more terrifying.

It's as if a person has encountered a tragedy, and instead of crying, it's even more frightening to do something calmly.

Because crying is a normal reaction, but being calm is abnormal.

Unusual things always make people a little worried.

Now Southampton's performance is not normal.

They passed patiently in the midfield, kept distributing the ball, and kept passing the ball back and forth, looking for opportunities to attack.

Such a calm attack is not normal in the first place.

Because although Southampton played a ball-handling tactic, they were actually a little crazy. They attacked like crazy, and no one could stand it.

They are a little calm now.

After passing back and forth, Suarez and Lukaku switched positions, and then Lukaku passed the ball to Coutinho who responded. Coutinho took a long shot from the front of the penalty area and Ter Ste Root struggled to save the ball, Mascherano took the ball and passed it to Alves.

Southampton's players began to return to the defense, and some began to press in the frontcourt.

Barcelona's counterattack was very fast this time. Alves took the ball forward and then passed it to Xavi in ​​the middle. Dribbling the ball forward, seeing that Cancelo is defending well, he raised his foot and was about to pass the ball into the penalty area, but Cancelo blocked the pass with his body.

Neymar raised his right hand to signal Cancelo to handball, but the referee did not call the penalty. Cancelo passed the ball to Casemiro in front, Casemiro passed directly to the front, Suarez took the ball with his back, and then The ball was passed back, and De Bruyne, who followed up, shot directly without stopping the ball, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Barcelona began to attack. After passing continuously, their offense also completed a very threatening shot. Messi retreated to get the ball and passed it directly to the left side of the penalty area. Iniesta knocked back after receiving the ball and followed up. Harvey made a long-range shot without stopping the ball, Gulac flew and held the ball out with one hand, and Cancelo, who returned to the penalty area, immediately cleared the siege with his big foot.

The ball roared forward, Lukaku headed the ball down, and Suarez, who took the ball, saw that Barcelona's defense was still intact, so he chose to pass the ball back, and Southampton resumed organization and offense.

"Southampton played very well. They did not rush forward, but carried out offense and defense in an orderly manner... Now the game has entered a competitive state, but the leading Barcelona still has a certain advantage..."

Seeing that the situation on the field has eased, the commentator began to comment on the ten minutes of the game - after Barcelona scored a goal, in the next 10 minutes, both sides were constantly back and forth to attack, and the pace of the game was extremely fast , but although the rhythm is fast, the offense of both sides is still well-organized, showing a very high level and good state.

"Now it seems that Southampton's offensive organization is very smooth, but it is also difficult for them to hit the penalty area. The shots are basically completed outside the penalty area. In fact, the situation encountered by Barcelona's offense is the same, that is, theirs. The goal was shot in the penalty area... This shows that both sides attach great importance to the protection of the penalty area, and it is very difficult to create opportunities in the penalty area."

"In such a situation, it is also necessary to use long-range shots to launch an offense. Let the opponent slowly expand their defensive attention, so that they can take advantage of it in the penalty area."

"Yes, after all, there is no shortage of good long-range players on both sides. Barcelona's Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, and even Neymar's long-range shooting ability are very good. Southampton's striker is not so good. However, Coutinho and De Bruyne's long-range shots are very strong, and Casemiro's long-range shots are not bad. Under such circumstances, if we continue to maintain enough defensive strength in the penalty area, then At the front of the penalty area, it is easy for the opponent to repeatedly threaten the goal with long shots."

"It depends on the performance of the goalkeepers of both sides...It happens that the physical conditions of the goalkeepers of both sides are similar. They are both 1.9 meters tall, slender, and have excellent wingspan. It's just that Ter Stegen was favored early on. The young lion king, while Gulac came from a relatively grassroots background, and only gradually became Southampton's main force this season."

When the commentator was discussing, Southampton seemed to launch a violent attack without warning in a pass!

The game went to No. 20 minutes.

The two sides had almost slowed down before, and this time was also a good opportunity to attack, so Southampton immediately launched an attack.

Coutinho took the ball in the midfield. At this time, De Bruyne ran flexibly to the left. Coutinho quickly passed the ball. De Bruyne first pulled it back, and then used it The fake action of passing the ball with the right foot at a 45-degree angle, and then pulled the ball towards the bottom line, and then forced a breakthrough!

Alves was swayed by him this time, but Alves' defensive ability is still quite good, and he immediately chased after him.

When De Bruyne was close to the bottom line, he made a fake move to pass the ball directly into the penalty area with his left foot. At this time, Suarez had already responded in the penalty area. Alves had no time to think, and the whole person was a shovel , intending to block De Bruyne's pass with his body.

De Bruyne dunked the ball abruptly, and then quickly poured the ball to his right foot. Then he lifted his foot and passed the ball back in an inverted triangle!

Mane received the ball in the penalty area, and then when the Barcelona defenders rushed towards him, he took the ball with his left foot and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area!

The ball landed accurately in front of Coutinho who was going forward, all he had to do was stick his left foot to the ground and shoot!
