Chapter 268: Under Barcelona's counterattack
Compared with Barcelona's previous offensive lineup, being able to put on such a defensive lineup at Camp Nou is actually bold enough for Rexach, after all, although Barcelona's fans are very loyal, they are also as stubborn as ever, and a conservative Barcelona is not the team they want to see.

Corresponding to Lexacc, Bosque put on an all-out attacking lineup in this game, of course, this lineup has not changed much from the past, after all, the team's offensive firepower has been proven in previous games.
Liu Han is participating in the national derby for the fourth time, but even so, he is still a little puzzled by the "grudge" between Real Madrid and Barcelona, after all, no one has told him until now that the relationship between the two teams is not just a league opponent, and he does not understand that Real Madrid and Barcelona are actually the confrontation between the unification and division of Spain.
With the referee's whistle, Real Madrid kicked off first.
Liu Han passed the ball back to Zidane behind after kicking off in the center circle, Zidane received the ball and passed back to left-back Carlos, Real Madrid did not pursue a strong attack at the beginning, Barcelona's lineup was conservative, and the opponent's formation must be pulled apart to find the right passing space and line.
Barcelona behaved quite conservatively after the start of the game, with the two backs in addition to Cocu slightly protruding, Roshenbach and central defender Abelardo mainly guarded against Liu Han.
In the last national derby, Rexach put the tall but extremely strong Puyol as a central defender on the back line, but due to Puyol's body problem, Liu Han dominated the entire high-altitude ball in that game, making Barcelona extremely passive in defense, so in this national derby, Rexach put Puyol in the right-back position, and let the tall Abelardo follow Liu Han, hoping to limit Liu Han's play.
Lexach's plan may have made Liu Han feel uncomfortable if it was a year ago, but after this season's training, Liu Han has actually adapted to such a "meticulous" care, he never takes the initiative to provoke confrontation now, but always uses his flexible running position and various feints in a small range to shake off the defenders, compared with Liu Han a year ago, Liu Han can now switch flexibly in various modes, and he will be an unstoppable tank when he wants to be strong, When it comes to dexterity, it can also be a long-range homing missile.
Real Madrid players gradually controlled the situation in the midfield after the kick-off, but to them were a little surprised, this game Barcelona did not compete with them for control of the midfield as before, except for Rivaldo and Kluivert, Barcelona retreated to defense, most of the players were concentrated within 35 meters of the goal, which made Real Madrid quite difficult to attack, after all, this kind of "bus" defense under Barcelona actually has few loopholes.
In the face of such a situation, Real Madrid did not rush to press, they have been patiently in the midfield, looking for loopholes in Barcelona's defense, Zidane has seen this situation many times, when he was at Juventus, he has long been accustomed to this kind of Serie A-style tight defense, so under his strategy, Real Madrid played very stable.
The two sides have been in a stalemate since the start of the game, the passivity on the field and the slowness of the game have made the Barcelona fans present feel very bored, even the most loyal Barcelona fans are dissatisfied with the team's performance at this moment, and the more romantic and unrestrained Spaniards like to see the fierce game rather than the attack and defense drills in the half.
Barcelona didn't find a shot until 20 minutes into the game, with Rivaldo firing a shot from outside the box on the 24th minute after receiving a pass from Cocu in central midfield.
However, perhaps it was the Real Madrid players who were too relaxed in this slow pace of the game, or maybe the aging Real Madrid backline was distracted at some point, and Barcelona got a chance on a counter-attack in the 37th minute of the game.
In the 37th minute of the game, Barcelona made a mistake in the midfield, Guti was cut off by Puyol when he tried to pass the ball to Raul on the left side, and then Puyol passed the ball to Enrique in front.
When Enrique received the ball, Carlos was already pressed up, but Enrique was very clever to spot this, he did not stop the ball, and directly rubbed the ball up and passed to the feet of Kluivert in the middle.
Although the young and famous Kluivert wasted his talent in Barcelona year after year, he has to admit that his physical fitness is still very good, and after leaning on Hierro, Kluivert held the ball steadily, and then he passed the ball to Rivaldo outside the box before the Real Madrid defender came over, who was originally a left-footed player, but at this time he used his right foot to make a beautiful curve, and the football went straight to the top left corner of the Real Madrid goal with a strong spin.
Casillas made a quick save but couldn't get the ball in and Barcelona took the lead.
Barcelona, which used to advocate attack, scored first with counterattacks, which surprised all Barcelona fans, but after all, they were ahead, and no one cared about these anymore.
With mixed feelings, the Barcelona fans applauded their team's goal, even if it didn't sound enthusiastic at all.
Bosque on the sidelines frowned with some dissatisfaction, and Bosque is now very dissatisfied with the team's backline.
As the game continued, Real Madrid still dominated the midfield, but Barcelona also returned to defensive form, and they seriously carried out the manager's pre-match arrangements, Rexach may not be a very good coach, but at least his defensive arrangements are good.
In the following games, both teams failed to achieve anything, and Real Madrid did not have a good way to face Barcelona's retreat, and Barcelona completely switched to defense after taking the lead, which is more Serie A than the Serie A team.
At half-time, Barcelona walked into the dressing room with a score of 1-0.
"Hey, Zidan, are we in Italy or Spain? How do I feel that it's Juventus on the other side, not Barcelona. ”
As soon as he returned to the locker room, Carlos couldn't help but complain that he had few opportunities to show in the first half, and even if he rushed to the front, there was no room to play.
"I also think it's weird, to be honest, I think the other team is wearing the wrong jersey or their jersey is not the right color."
Zidane also unexpectedly joked.
Although the team is behind, there is no problem with the confidence of the current Real Madrid team. (To be continued.) )
