958 reversal?

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, there was a round of applause from the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium.

More than 80,000 Real Madrid fans stood up from their seats and cheered for the Real Madrid players.

Three to one, the red scoreboard shows the final result of the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup.

With Yang Yang's brace and assists, Real Madrid won Barcelona 3-1 at home, making a good start to the new season, and also laying a solid foundation for the two-legged Spanish Super Cup.

Everyone can foresee that in the second leg, Real Madrid will become more active after visiting the Camp Nou, and Barcelona will be in a more passive and embarrassing situation.

And more importantly, if they lose the Super Cup, it will undoubtedly cast a shadow over Barcelona's new season.

Real Madrid players clapped and hugged on the pitch to celebrate the team's victory in the opening game of the new season.

What's more, Real Madrid continued their winning streak against Barcelona over the past two seasons, which is quite a rare thing.

In fact, in the second half, Barcelona was reborn, changed the passivity of the first half, played very actively, firmly controlled the ball at their feet, and constantly attacked Real Madrid and organized an offensive.

After Ancelotti took a three-1 lead, he saw Barcelona's form recover in the second half, and immediately made adjustments, replacing David Silva with Mascherano and building a tight defensive line in the central midfield, which once again limited Barcelona's attack and isolated the opponent's attack outside the penalty area again and again.

The second half of the game was relatively dull, Real Madrid was almost all passive, only relying on defense and a few counterattacks to threaten the opponent, and although Barcelona controlled the ball and was behind in the score, Guardiola's team was unwilling to put a lot of effort into the attack, because they were also very afraid of Real Madrid's counterattack.

Yang Yang's form in the first half was very good, there was Robben on the right side, and Ibrahimovic in the front court, once Barcelona pressed too high, it was equivalent to giving Real Madrid a chance to counterattack.

During Benitez's tenure, Real Madrid's style of playing to restrain Barcelona has been tried and tested, and Ancelotti himself is also very good at playing defensive counterattacks, and the peak of his coaching career was the AC Milan period, which was won by defensive counterattacks, and even during the coaching of Parma and Juventus, Ancelotti's conservatism even the Italians can't stand it.

Therefore, when Barcelona dominated the second half, they had to be afraid of Real Madrid's counterattack, which led to their delay in creating a threat in attack, and Real Madrid's defense made a mistake in the final stage of the first half and was scored by Barcelona, but the second half was impregnable.

After the game, the full-time technical statistics of the two sides can clearly reflect the situation.

Real Madrid's possession rate in the first 30 minutes was close to 60%, but the possession rate in the whole game was only 40%, which shows how obvious the disadvantage of possession in the final stage of the first half and the second half is, which also proves one thing, that is, Barcelona is still the most dominant team in the world, and Real Madrid cannot match them.

However, with the advantage of passing and possession, Barcelona only had a handful of shots on goal in the whole game, only one shot on target, that is, the one Messi scored, two blocked, and only two corner kicks.

On the other hand, Real Madrid had as many as 18 shots on goal, 13 of which came from the first 30 minutes, which shows that in that half an hour, Real Madrid almost completely pressed Barcelona to play, creating a lot of kicking opportunities, and there were 11 shots on target in the whole game, scoring three goals and eight corner kick opportunities.

In addition to possession and pass completion rate, Real Madrid crushed Barcelona in almost every statistic, including the number of fouls.

The feeling of the players on both sides matched the match stats, with Barcelona barely creating any threat other than possession.

After the game, Yang Yang publicly said in an interview with the media in the comprehensive interview area that he was satisfied with the result of this game, but to say that he was very satisfied, it was not.

'Actually, I'm sorry that we missed a couple of good chances in the game, and if I'm not mistaken, we missed at least three or four great chances, and if we had taken them, it would have been a surprising game.'

Yang Yang replied with a smile, and at the same time made the media reporters at the scene feel amused.

Real Madrid did miss a few great chances, which showed that the form of Real Madrid players was indeed not at their best, but even so, Real Madrid still beat Barcelona 3-1 at home.

'I can feel that Barcelona were not in great shape tonight, maybe it has something to do with their series of pre-season games, we were better prepared than our opponents, we all trained and prepared hard, we did everything we could to play this game and the result paid off in the end.

Yang Yang also said that the three-to-one result allowed Real Madrid to take the initiative in the second leg, but it still can't be careless.

'We've made a lot of progress and we're going to get stronger and stronger, so I'm confident that we've won the Spanish Super Cup and we're confident about the new season.'

When he said this, Yang Yang changed his words, saying that confidence is important, but it is also necessary to be soberly aware of the difficulties of the game.

"In fact, Barcelona in the second half of the first half and in the second half is the real Barcelona and we can't be careless in the slightest, otherwise the opponent will punish us on the football pitch."

Regarding the team's first leg of the game, Yang Yang said that it basically played at the level of the summer training camp, which is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and we deserve such a victory.

When the media provoked Yang Yang to compare Ancelotti and Benitez, Yang Yang, who has long been accustomed to dealing with the media, said with a smile that Benitez and Ancelotti are both the leading tactical masters in world football, and he can often learn a lot of valuable things from such a famous coach.

'They're two different types of managers and I think they've done a great job in their respective categories.

Subsequently, Yang Yang did not leave the Bernabeu with the team, but continued to stay at the Bernabeu, and was arranged by an advertiser to shoot advertisements in the stadium, which was also the task assigned to him by the Real Madrid commercial department, and Yang Yang was able to get half of the five million euros of endorsement fee income a year.

…………

When Barcelona left Madrid with a 1-3 defeat and vowed to regroup in a week, the entire Spanish media was full of discussions and praise for Real Madrid's performance in this game.

Real Madrid's defeat of Barcelona is actually not a suspense, because in the past two years, Real Madrid has maintained a winning record against Barcelona, and what is really shocking is that Real Madrid is far ahead of Barcelona in possession in the first 30 minutes, firmly controlling the situation on the field, which is shocking.

Marca reported after the game that Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti were more open in terms of tactics than under Benitez, and paid more attention to passing and possession, and this was vividly reflected in the first 30 minutes.

In fact, in last season's Century Derby, Real Madrid used to suppress Barcelona in the opening stages by rushing to attack, but they have never been ahead of Barcelona in passing possession as they are today.

These are two different philosophies, the former is counterattacking and the latter is active control.

Marca also spoke highly of Yang Yang's performance tonight, believing that he deserved to be selected as the best player of the match.

"After a long summer vacation, Yang Yang seems to be recharged, and with his first child coming soon, this new identity as a father has made him more responsible, so he has been doing quite well this summer, continuing the excellent form of last season."

Marca newspaper believes that Yang Yang played such a state in his first official game, which will be very exciting in the new season.

Another mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Ace Daily, also believes that Yang Yang cooked a delicious dish in the first official game with his personal ability, which was dedicated to all Real Madrid fans in the stadium.

"His excellent form even forced Guardiola, in the first half Guardiola strictly demanded, Alves and Pique must block Yang Yang's activity space on the left side of the penalty area, which shows his fear of Yang Yang."

Ace is optimistic that after winning Barcelona 3-1 at home, Real Madrid is basically on the winning side of the Super Cup, but it can't be careless, because back at Camp Nou, Barcelona will definitely perform better than the first leg.

……

If Marca and Ace are even more reminders, then the media in Catalonia have publicly stated that Barcelona will definitely turn the tables at Camp Nou, because Real Madrid's first leg is completely relying on Yang Yang's personal ability to create a threat.

"Throughout the whole game of Real Madrid, the most threatening attacks were all from the feet of Yang Yang, it can be said that this is a victory achieved by Yang Yang relying on his personal ability, leaving Yang Yang alone, Real Madrid's overall performance is not convincing."

Attributing the defeat to Yang Yang's on-the-spot outburst rather than Real Madrid's victory, World Sport believes that back at the Camp Nou, Barcelona should have a plan to block Yang Yang and thus freeze the Chinese superstar.

"As long as Yang Yang is frozen, it is entirely possible for Barcelona to reverse the opponent at home."

Cruyff also pointed out in his column that Barcelona in the first half half was not the real Barcelona, it was a strange team, playing very loosely and without integrity.

'A score of 3-1 is not enough to make a despair and if Pep Guardiola and his team want to turn the tide at home, they will have to do two things: first, find their best form and play the rhythm they know best.

"There is a second point, that is, to freeze Yang Yang."

"Without Yang Yang, Real Madrid is equivalent to a toothless tiger, which is not terrible at all."

But Cruyff also warned Barcelona that if Yang Yang was allowed to play as he did in the first 30 minutes of the first half, it would be Barcelona's nightmare.
