Chapter 827: This is the Experience!
The Bernabéu match has officially begun.
The cheers from the stands around the stadium were endless, and Real Madrid fans were eager to beat Barcelona again, but Real Madrid did not show any strength, but instead formed the wrong formation, giving Barcelona plenty of space, and they kept passing the ball in the middle and back, and the pace of the pitch was somewhat surprising.
"It seems that Real Madrid is not in a hurry."
Madrid's commentators are worried about Real Madrid, "but Pellegrini should know that it will be very dangerous to let Barcelona keep the ball in such a row, and wait for them to find their rhythm and play." ”
Barcelona are a team that needs to control their tempo, and they like to keep possession of the ball, with continuous passes in the midfield and backfield to stabilize the tempo, and then tentatively pass forward to find an opportunity and immediately increase the tempo.
This style of play will be a headache for opponents.
When Barcelona is in possession of the ball, it means that there are easy loopholes in the backfield, and if you don't go forward to scramble and let the opponent control the ball, your morale will be dealt a major blow, and it is equivalent to giving the initiative to the opponent.
All the coaches who know Barcelona know that if they want to not lose to Barcelona on a tactical level, they have to take the initiative to control the tempo.
This must be strengthened.
Of course.
If it is a way to strengthen the scramble, it is equivalent to playing the front, and the offensive battle will make the game exciting, and it will also make the defensive holes in the backcourt frequent and frequent.
Another approach is to defend and counterattack passively.
No matter how much Barcelona have possession of the ball, they must pass the ball forward if they want to break the goal, as long as they stabilize the defense in front of goal and do not give the opponent a chance in dangerous positions, they can break the ball and launch a counter-attack.
Above, two ways.
Most professional footballers who pay attention to the game believe that Real Madrid will choose the former, because Real Madrid's squad strength is no worse than Barcelona, and they have a strong forward line composed of Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo, and the scoring efficiency is higher than that of Barcelona.
Now that the game had just begun, they realized that they had misjudged.
Real Madrid opted for the latter.
Many people were surprised and couldn't help but praise at the same time, and Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho was one of them.
Inter Milan are also qualified to play against Barcelona, but the chances of winning will certainly not be able to catch up with the defensive counter-attack, Mourinho has decided on the tactical play against Barcelona, he believes that it is too dangerous to give Barcelona a chance, and the defense can bring victory.
Real Madrid's squad is stronger, but relatively speaking, it is not mature, and the cooperation is very different from Barcelona.
If a player is not in good shape, or maybe a little unlucky, he may face a loss, or even collapse directly.
The defensive counter-attack is much more solid.
Even if the midfielders are not in good shape, as long as Barcelona are not given too many chances, there is hope to win.
In a word.
Defending on the counter-attack is the best way to deal with it.
Manuel Pellegrini made this choice not easy, Real Madrid's squad is too flashy, the results are too good, and the games played at the Bernabeu Stadium are under a lot of pressure to choose a passive style of play.
This is where Mourinho looks.
on the field.
The slow rhythm of the opening of the game made people look a little drowsy, Real Madrid's defense was very solid, Barcelona pressed through the half, and only Zhen Shaolong was running near the middle line.
This situation made the fans in the stands very unhappy.
In the six minutes of the game, Barcelona only took the initiative to attack twice, and were blocked before reaching the penalty line, Real Madrid played a wave of endless advances, and most of the time the football was passed around, and the pace was so slow that it felt like it was playing harmony, not some national derby.
The Madrid commentators all smiled wryly and said, "The opening of the game was a bit unexpected!" ”
'Real Madrid didn't take the initiative and Barcelona kept the ball but they couldn't find too good chances.
"But you can't just look at the surface. Now it's a master showdown, which seems to be slow and unhurried, but once you find your opponent's weakness, the game will immediately become tense! ”
Indeed it is!
Barcelona have been passing the ball from the perimeter, constantly looking forward for weaknesses in Real Madrid's defence.
After passing more than a dozen balls in a row, it was Sergio Busquets who couldn't help himself, who glanced in the direction of the former Real Madrid goal and immediately transferred the ball to Xavi on the right.
Xavi was the engine of Barca's attack.
In Barcelona's 433 formation, Xavi plays the role of right midfielder, and in front of him is Messi in right striker, Messi's importance in the Barcelona team is undoubted, and what it means for football to be sent to Xavi's feet can be imagined.
The Real Madrid defence was immediately alerted.
This time, Xavi did not pass the ball back again, nor did he pass forward to Messi, who was closely guarded, but found the opportunity to give it to Henry.
Thierry Henry didn't have a snag for Arsenal and could only play as a left striker in the formation.
All eyes are on Messi.
Henry glanced in the direction of the penalty area, met the ball and crossed to the edge of the box, where was the tall Swedish striker.
Ibrahimovic!
Ibrahimovic has the advantage of enough height to stand on the pitch and is a bright beacon on the pitch, noticing Thierry Henry's pass, immediately turning around and taking a wrong step forward, before preparing to use his strong body to squeeze out enough space.
He failed!
Ramos is not easy to deal with, the moment the football fell, he suddenly jumped up and rubbed the ball with his forehead.
The football is biased to one side.
Diarra kicked the ball out of the box, Kaka got on the edge of the box and immediately kicked it to Granero on the wing.
Granero passes C-Ronaldo again.
Real Madrid strikes back!
When Granero passed, cheers rang out from the surrounding stands, and C-Ronaldo successfully controlled the ball and accelerated forward to raise the cheers by dozens of decibels.
Barcelona switched from attack to defense, and the formation quickly retreated.
C-Ronaldo was fast enough to dribble the ball, and his explosiveness was really strong, accelerating past Busquets and then leaping past Puyol.
Puyol and Busquets are closely followed by C-Ronaldo.
Busquets couldn't keep up for a while, Puyol could barely keep up, but it was not easy to grab the ball, C-Ronaldo dribbled the ball, suddenly came a small change of direction, barely flashed a little space, he immediately looked towards the right front.
Pass!
C-Ronaldo kicked the ball to Zhen Shaolong.
Zhen Shaolong was very tightly restricted.
When C-Ronaldo rushed up with the ball, Zhen Shaolong also rushed forward quickly, he was more forward than C-Ronaldo, but he was also limited by Pique and Yaya Toure.
Yaya Toure and Pique, one old and one young, are Barcelona's center-back combination.
Any striker who is defended by two central defenders will feel a lot of headaches, and Zhen Shaolong is no exception, but C-Ronaldo's pass is quite obedient, kicking the ball right behind Pique and on the left side of Yaya Toure, just so that Zhen Shaolong can receive the ball.
The pass shocked many.
"C-Ronaldo! Very exciting! ”
"This pass is so good, just right for Zhen to catch! Really amazing and of a very high standard! ”
"Cristiano Ronaldo, when we marvel at his individual skills, we must not forget that he also has a masterful passing level......"
This is embarrassing.
C-Ronaldo didn't believe that he had a 'master' passing level, when he passed the ball just now, he found that the kick was a little off, probably not able to control it well, obviously aimed at Zhen Shaolong a little in front, but the ball passed a little back, but I didn't expect Pique to run by, Zhen Shaolong could easily receive the ball.
"This ball is so well passed!"
C-Ronaldo sighed for himself, he will not admit that it is luck, but convince himself that it is the real level.
Zhen Shaolong also didn't know whether C-Ronaldo's pass was luck or the corrective power of the temporary effect of the system task, but he finally successfully received the pass.
He didn't have time to think about it.
At the moment of controlling the ball, Zhen Shaolong exploded in speed, he rushed forward with his legs, and the instantaneous acceleration caught Pique a little off guard, and Yaya Toure on the other side simply didn't follow.
"This guy...... Too fast, right? ”
Pique sighed in surprise, but still barely kept up with the preparation of a small action foul.
It's tactics!
Before the start of the game, Guardiola emphasized that when defending Zhen Shaolong, he could block it with a foul.
Now is the right time, Pique is not confident that he can stop, he feels that he will be pulled back in a few more steps, and there is no chance to foul again, his foul experience is okay, he knows that he should try to block the ball, and in the process of blocking the ball, there is physical contact, bumping together and falling to the ground, as long as the action is not too big, the possibility of eating cards is small.
Of course.
A warning is inevitable.
Compared with defending Zhen Shaolong, getting a yellow card can be said to be worth it, and it doesn't matter what the warning is.
Pique looked down at the ball!
That moment.
Pique suddenly realized that he could grab it directly, because Zhen Shaolong's ball control was not very good, especially in the process of starting to accelerate the ball, he kicked the ball out of more than a meter, and he could kick the ball away as long as he stretched his foot.
And he did.
Zhen Shaolong didn't care about Pique's movements at all, the moment he rushed past Pique, the 'Football Following Effect' was triggered, and the 'Football Following Effect' triggered in the mission was different from "Attack", there was physical contact with the opponent, and the effect would not be forcibly interrupted.
So he used his time to rush forward.
Pique stretches his feet!
Zhen Shaolong continued to rush forward, taking advantage of the instantaneous difference in action, he took one more step, as if it was faster than the speed of a football.
That's how Pique felt, and he thought a little puzzled, "Does this guy not care about the ball?" How to rush ......"
"Huh?"
Peake froze.
Just now he was 100% confident that he could stop the ball, but when his foot reached the front of the football, the ball bounced up lightly during the rolling, and jumped over the surface of the foot just right?
"What's going on?"
Pique's mouth opened wide in an instant, and he was so surprised that he stopped in place, watching Zhen Shaolong take the ball away.
Yaya Toure followed and shouted, "Chase! ”
Peake was just stunned.
After Zhen Shaolong successfully shook off Pique, the front became empty, he took another step with the ball, less than ten meters from the penalty line, and goalkeeper Baders also rushed out.
Valdés was like a valiant warrior, with a resolute expression that looked like death!
The same is true of his mood.
Barcelona played against Newcastle United last season and Real Madrid this season, and after a few games, Valdés has a shadow in his heart against Zhen Shaolong.
This guy played against Barcelona and almost scored an average of three goals per game.
Seeing Zhen Shaolong rushing towards the goal single-handedly, Valdés already had a headache, he knew what would happen next, but he could only rush out of the goal with a hard head, showing a resolute look by the way.
Zhen Shaolong shot!
Valdés reacted ahead of time and jumped up with his hands held high, he didn't even make a judgment because he knew it was useless to make a judgment.
That's the experience!
Really!
The ball rushed high past Valdés, followed by a fall into the net, Valdés turned his head to send the ball into the net, and could only show a helpless expression.
