Chapter 075: Messi's Change

When players from both sides of the game gather in the tunnel from two different directions, the live broadcast is very suitable for switching cameras, so that fans sitting in front of the TV can see the players from both sides eager to fight.

The first close-up shot given by the live director was the crucial players of the game, attacking players such as Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar.

The central 5 commentator was full of excitement and passion: "The players on both sides of the game came to the players' tunnel, which also means that the focus of the 2013-2014 La Liga 29th round Real Madrid home against Barcelona is getting closer and closer to us, I think the fans who are still dozing off in front of the TV should be very energetic, right?"

This national derby can be said to take great care of the Far East market, compared to the original 4 a.m. Beijing time, this game is more in line with the Chinese fans' viewing time, 12 a.m.

The 2013-2014 La Liga 28 rounds are over, part of the 29 rounds of the league have started, and even ended, Atletico Madrid is four points ahead of Real Madrid and five points over Barcelona in the first game, which is equivalent to saying that both sides of the game cannot afford to lose, otherwise the point difference will be further widened.

Many of the players in the national derby are teammates with the national team, but the game is important and there is no communication between the internationals of the two sides, whether it is a Spanish international, an Argentina international or a Brazil international.

However, there is interaction between the internationals within the team, they hug each other, shake hands and cheer each other on.

Immediately, the on-site director gave Tang Zheng a close-up shot that was pushed to his face, and the Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice was an octave higher: "Tang Zheng's mental outlook is very good, and his hairstyle is also meticulously arranged, I think he will definitely have an excellent performance in the next national derby!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted: "Don looks very energetic, from the previous warm-up he has been very prepared, the ball sense is very good, whether it is a long pass or a long shot, in the warm-up we have been given a shot in the arm, the next two national derby, let's wait and see!"

Thiago, the commentator of the Spanish national television channel 5, looked at the broadcast screen and said: "Cristiano Ronaldo has been in great form lately, so is Don, I believe that this national derby will definitely give us a different and exciting game, guys in front of the TV, are you ready?"

The broadcast screen switched quickly, and it was given to other star-studded Real Madrid players.

The substitutes and coaches from both sides who came out of the tunnel also appeared in the broadcast screen, but they were only given a broadcast screen, not a close-up.

In accordance with international practice, captain Sergio Ramos stands at the front of the team, with the biggest star at the end.

Before Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid, it was always Cristiano Ronaldo who stood at the end of the team, but fortunately, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't particularly care about these details, and the two of them often took turns standing at the end.

In this game, Tang Zheng stood at the end of the team, Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of him, and the two bowed their heads to communicate during the period before the game, obviously for the next national derby for in-depth discussion.

The overall strength of Barcelona is not ordinary, and the nature of the game is not ordinary, and many times the game lacks originality because of the meaning behind the game.

Of course, there was no shortage of spectacle.

Messi is recognized as the first person in the Barcelona team, and he stands at the end of the team as a matter of course, and he sees Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo talking to each other, and from time to time through tactically rich body gestures.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Messi always feels a little anxious in his heart.

Just when Messi's fugue was too empty, the referee Marienko and the referee team led the players from both sides of the game into the stadium from the players' tunnel.

Messi retracted his thoughts and followed his teammate Andres Iniesta in front of him onto the pitch.

※※※

"Whoa—"

When the players from both sides followed the referee into the pitch, the Bernabeu stadium resounded with loud cheers and deafening.

Every starter can feel the excitement from the heart, as if every cell in the body is burning a raging fire, making people's blood boil.

And the Real Madrid players feel the deepest because this is their home stadium!

In the south stand of the Bernabeu Stadium, the home team's die-hard fans held up mosaic boards in their hands to piece together a giant Real Madrid team crest.

The close-up of the on-site director was in place in time, and the Real Madrid fans in front of the TV watched with passion and enthusiasm, eager to become a Real Madrid player immediately and contribute to Real Madrid's next national derby.

Barcelona players scoffed, especially those who supported Catalonia's independence and disdainful of the actions of Real Madrid fans.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei felt the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, and said: "The home atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium is very strong, and the home fans use their actions to tell the visiting Barcelona whose home stadium it is! At the same time, Real Madrid fans wash their habits and motivate the home team in this way! Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2:1 at the Camp Nou in the first leg of the national derby this season, and can they win again in this game?"

The atmosphere at the Bernabeu is full of atmosphere, and the cheers of the home fans are significantly different from other league and Champions League matches, and they seem to be more frenetic.

For the subtle changes in this regard, Tang Zheng felt it most clearly.

This is the first time that Tang Zheng has felt such enthusiasm from the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium, and even the deafening cheers from the Dortmund die-hard fans at the Westpha Lun Stadium.

After a series of necessary pre-match procedures, the 2013-2014 La Liga 29th round of the focus of the game on both sides of the game, sabre-rattling, waiting for the referee on duty Marienko's whistle.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium has dropped significantly as the game approaches, not so much as the home fans are waiting for the game to begin.

At the same time, Yang 5 commentator He Wei found a problem through the long shot of the game, he hesitated and said: "According to the starting lineup obtained before the game, Tang Zheng's position is not his most frequent midfielder this season, but a defensive midfielder with Alonso...... Tang Zheng really wants to play in the back in this game?"

Barcelona manager Martino also noticed the problem, so his brow is furrowed.

He got the starting lineup of Real Madrid before the game, thinking that Ancelotti was trying to confuse his side, so he was more inclined to target Tang Zheng in the forward position in terms of tactical deployment, but through observation, Tang Zheng seemed to really appear in the defensive midfield.

This......

"Beep~"

At this moment, the referee on duty, Marienco, blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Messi, who stepped on the football with his left foot, quickly kicked the football to Neymar, who knocked it back directly to Xavi, the core of the midfield who stood outside the arc of his own center, and the team formation dispersed.

Considering the home defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg, Barcelona's tactics have changed somewhat compared to the first leg, Xavi's time on the ball has been significantly reduced, and he is more likely to pass the ball by observing it in advance, rather than taking the ball in place and turning it 360 degrees in a circle like in the first leg and then passing it.

Of course, it is undeniable that Xavi's technical skills are still there, but the frequency of kicking is much slower, and too much dribbling will also lead to a rapid decline in his physical fitness.

In order to be able to play a full game, Xavi pushed forward through the triangular pass of the Tiki-Taka tactic.

Xavi reduced his dribbling time and Barcelona's attack looked more threatening.

It was difficult to advance just when the attack came to the 30-metre area, as Barcelona's attack was intercepted by a stubborn frontal block.

Real Madrid's starting lineup has also changed compared to the first leg at Camp Nou, Xavi Alonso's partner Tang Zheng can not only ensure the toughness of Real Madrid's defense, but also do not affect the efficiency of the offensive end, and Tang Zheng is a defensive midfielder who is calmer and more decisive than Ramos, who played this position in the first leg.

Barcelona's first wave of attack was done by Messi, who forced a long-range shot when Tang Zheng failed to force Tang Zheng, but the shot was far wide of the post under Tang Zheng's interference, so that the home fans let out a humiliating laugh and mocked Messi's incompetence.

"Woo-woo-"

In the face of the huge boos that erupted from Real Madrid fans, Messi didn't care too much, but turned his head to look at Tang Zheng.

It happened that Tang Zheng also looked at Messi, so the two looked at each other.

Tang Zheng grinned, smiling contemptuously.

Suddenly, Messi frowned, obviously understanding what Tang Zheng wanted to express, so he scolded in his heart: "Damn!"

Immediately, he turned his head, stopped looking at Tang Zheng, and slowly ran back.

Looking at Messi, who didn't look back, Tang Zheng smiled.

He knows that Messi in this game is likely to be eaten to death by himself again.

Sure enough!

Barcelona's next few attacks led by Messi were to no avail, because Messi did not dare to take the ball to try to break through Tang Zheng, and he preferred to retreat to the vicinity of the midfield to organize the attack.

But there are too many people in Barcelona who can do it, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and even Sergio Busquets.

Messi, who is obsessed with organizing attacks, does not do any good to Barcelona's overall attack, but affects the normal operation of Barcelona's overall attack.

Martino stood in front of the visiting team's dugout and frowned, he saw the team's problems, but he didn't know how to communicate with Messi.

Messi is the top name of Barcelona, even the head coach Martino 'dare not 'dare' give Messi too much 'advice'.

Real Madrid, who sat at the Bernabeu at home when Barcelona could not gain an advantage in attack, gradually gained an advantage, and Tang Zheng slowly moved from the defensive midfield position to the central midfielder.

According to Ancelotti's pre-match arrangement, Tang Zheng's position is very flexible, and he can often swap positions with Modric, who plays as a striker.

In this way, with Tang Zheng's super all-round ability, Real Madrid does not have to worry about problems on the defensive end, and at the same time, the offensive end can also ensure the quality of the attack.

However, Tang Zheng's energy does not dare to focus too much on attack, because Xavi Alonso is older and lacks movement, and Modric has no physical problems, but his defensive ability needs to be strengthened, which is not enough to take on his due defensive responsibilities.

Judging from the first five minutes of the game, the quality of the game was there, but it was clear that both sides were very good at estimating each other's scoring ability and did not dare to attack too much.

Although Martino hoped that Barcelona would play against Real Madrid before the game, the players would still make adjustments according to the situation on the pitch and the criticality of the game at critical times.

As the game went on, Real Madrid's offensive became more and more fierce, especially when Tang Zheng stepped forward to participate in the attack, the offensive was the most fierce.

Tang Zheng was able to move forward to participate in the attack, and the one who benefited the most was Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the first leg of the Spanish national derby this season, Real Madrid won the game with Tang Zheng's pass and shot, so Martino's tactical deployment before the game required the midfielders to keep a close eye on Tang Zheng.

However, Tang Zheng is in hot form and runs very aggressively, and it is difficult for Barcelona's defensive system to cause him practical interference.

Therefore, if you want to limit Tang Zheng, you must invest more troops, so that Cristiano Ronaldo will be greatly reduced.

During the period when Tang Zheng was active, Cristiano Ronaldo was often able to win the ball on the left side of the attack and face Alba one-on-one.

Alba was able to join Barcelona after Euro 2012 because of his super assist ability, so his corresponding defensive ability is lacking, and he belongs to the type of full-back who is strong and weak in attack.

In the face of Cristiano Ronaldo's frontal attack, Alba played so hard that left centre-back Pique had to step forward frequently to assist the defence.

Defences are already limited, and Pique has frequently assisted Alba in defending Cristiano Ronaldo, which has led to increasing defensive pressure on right centre-back Mascherano.

Because of Mascherano's limited size, it was very difficult for him to defend Benzema alone, coupled with the forward insertion after Tang Zheng's pass, it was not enough to rely on the active return of Busquets and Cesc Fabregas.

The height and impact are there, and if there are not enough personnel to defend, the pressure on Valdés to keep the goal in the back of the net will increase exponentially.

The closest Real Madrid came to scoring was Tang Zheng, who drew enough men to defend in the middle and quickly distributed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was attacking on the left, before cutting forward at high speed.

Alba's one-on-one defense of Cristiano Ronaldo is clearly not good, and Pique must assist in defence.

Mascherano, Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Busquets struggled to defend Tang Zheng and Benzema, and Martino, who was standing in front of the visitors' dugout, looked anxious but helpless.

Cristiano Ronaldo spotted Pique to assist in defence, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the outside of his right foot flicked the ball to the right, opened the angle of the pass, and then delivered a very beautiful cross.

Tang Zheng, who ran up the front post, attracted the attention of Sergio Busquets and Mascherano, and won a very valuable opportunity for Benzema, who was outflanked at the back post.

Outcome...... Karim Benzema missed a chance from 10 yards out to deflect the ball wide.

You must know that goalkeeper Valdés has surrendered, and Alves and Fabregas, who defended him, have not had time to jump, which means that Benzema is unmarked.
