Chapter 279: The comeback is imminent
The Spanish national derby is still hot.
From the beginning, the confrontation between the two sides has not stopped, whether it is Barcelona or Real Madrid, they are constantly attacking the defense of both sides, hoping that they will be the first to score.
In addition to the fast-paced offense, the frequency of fouls on both sides has skyrocketed.
After Marcelo tackled Griezmann and rubbed a hint of spark, the fouls on both sides never stopped.
In Valverde's words, there was nothing gentlemanly about the game.
In just 20 minutes of the opening game, six players were yellow carded, which shows the intensity of the game.
Both sides were angry, which made the referee also annoyed, and after repeated warnings failed, Messi and Ramos shared the yellow card again in a collision, and finally calmed down a little.
The game was back on track, but Barcelona was slightly inferior in the previous collision, and the initiative was also won by Real Madrid's midfield.
When Luka Modric won the ball, Real Madrid's central axis began to exert its strength, from Ramos to Modric, and finally handed the ball to Benzema, and finally broke the Barcelona goal.
In the 32nd minute, Real Madrid relied on a corner kick opportunity, and Benzema scored with a header in front of the goal to give Real Madrid the first goal.
It was a goal that put another damper on Barcelona's rhythm.
Both the on-site commentators and the fans can see that the midfield that Barcelona relied on before has completely lost its magical effect at this moment.
De Jong is no longer confident.
Busquets could not fit in.
Rakitic was the best, but he was also too busy to take care of himself.
The midfielder can't hold the ball, the rhythm can only be handed over, and on the other side, a midfield of Modric's level will not make Barcelona better.
Predictably, it will be all Real Madrid's attacking tempo next.
"Luka Modric splits the ball, Bale is at high speed, he's fast, Bale!! NO!!! The ball was slightly over the crossbar. ”
"It's Luka Modric again, he's very active in this game, a beautiful through-ball! Benzema is pursuing, Benzema shoots! Ah~~~~ The ball rolled out against the goalpost, which was so disappointing! ”
Real Madrid ushered in a wave of attacking climaxes, which also increased the pressure on Barcelona's defense.
In this game, Real Madrid played very well and organized, especially Modric, who was definitely an MVP-level performance.
In previous games, Barcelona always made Real Madrid unable to eat anything in the midfield due to the presence of Yile.
And in this game, when Yile was not playing, Modric became the one who controlled the rhythm.
"Luka Modric is in great form, he has become the pivot point of Real Madrid's attack, Zidane's tactical arrangement is also very reasonable, and it is definitely a fantastic experience to press them in midfield against Barcelona."
Real Madrid's on-site commentator said with a playful face.
Everyone knows that Barcelona is a team that plays around the midfield.
In this Barcelona team, in particular, the three technical midfielders have long been the talk of the talk in Europe.
Although Yile failed to play in this game, which caused problems in Barcelona's midfield configuration, it was ironic enough to win in midfield.
In the stands, the Barcelona fans were quiet, and their faces were flushed with anger.
They can accept defeat, but this way of being blown up from the midfield is really a little unbearable.
The midfield is an area where they are faintly good.
They have also blown their own midfield to the altar, but now the midfield they rely on to be proud has been blown up.
This is something they can't accept.
Waves of cheers rang out over the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid fans have started singing and despite scoring only one goal, they feel like they have the win in their hands.
After the break, Real Madrid did not make any adjustments, while Barcelona made a lot of adjustments.
De Jong and Antoine Griezmann were replaced.
Barcelona switched to 4-4-2!
It's a tactic they've been using since last season, and it's an old configuration.
This tactic, which should have been discarded after the reorganization, has now been restarted due to an injury.
From here, it can be seen that Barcelona is indeed at a loss.
But even so, Barcelona still failed to play too well, and Valverde put more experience on defense, resulting in a lack of attack.
In the end, the national derby ended in a victory for Real Madrid.
The whole Bernabeu was full of cheers, and for Real Madrid fans, this revenge battle, they succeeded.
In the post-match press conference, Valverde faced pressure from reporters and took the initiative to take the blame.
He knew that he needed to stand up and withstand the pressure at such times.
But even so, Valverde almost didn't make it, and the fans were scolded.
Some people even brought out the game where Yi Le was injured, asking him why he let Yi Le play in that kind of game, resulting in such a passive situation.
In the Champions League, Barcelona lost the first leg 8-2.
They need to score six goals at home and if the opposition don't score to reach the last four, which is no easier said than done.
In the league, they lost the national derby in the battle for points.
These two crucial games were ruined by Yi Le's absence, and they didn't know who to blame, so they could only direct their anger at Valverde and the club.
Under layers of pressure, the club also felt that it could not stand it.
After coordinating with E-Le, Barcelona made its first announcement about E-Le.
Yi has recovered well from his injury and will be training with the team tomorrow and is expected to play in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals! ’
As soon as this news was released, it really caused a lot of repercussions.
For Barcelona fans, this is the best news they have received in recent times.
After missing a full four games, Yi Le is finally returning to the starting lineup.
It's something they've always dreamed of.
After the news of Yile appeared, it did calm down a lot of restless fans, and the most intuitive change was that the pressure on Valverde and the club was greatly reduced.
At the same time, the European media also learned about Yile's imminent comeback.
But they don't feel like Yile can change anything.
After all, this is a six-goal gap against Bayern Munich, and the serious Germans will not let them succeed in turning the tables.
Of course, there are a few people who think that this will be another miracle battle.
After all, there are many miracle races created by Yile.
Whether at Tottenham or Paris Saint-Germain, he was always able to bring hope to the team.
The most important thing is that this is football!
The game hasn't started yet, so who knows what's going to happen next?
Of course, this idea only exists in the minds of Barcelona and a handful of other individual Ele fans, but across Europe, Barcelona is out!
