Chapter 740: Face is not as important as assisting
Ten minutes in the game is not a long time.
Ten minutes was a short time for the fans in the stands, as if the two sides had several waves of attack and defense, and it was over before they even saw a wonderful shot.
Not so for the players on the field.
In a fast-paced game, the players on the field are nervous at all times, and the fast pace of attacking and defending will slow down the time, and when they are not relaxed at all, they will feel that the time becomes very long.
When time goes on, there are a lot of things that can happen.
Barcelona forced Real Madrid to attack, allowing the game to start the fast-paced mode early, but they did not achieve their goal quickly, that is, to score quickly, and it was Real Madrid who scored first.
Higuain!
In the past three rounds of the league, the best player in the midfield is Zhen Shaolong, and the second is Higuain, who scored three goals individually, and scored every time he came off the bench, which also confirmed his form.
Now Higuain has scored again.
After receiving Guti's stabbing cross from the left side of the box, Higuain turned and fired a powerful shot into the Barcelona goal.
3 to 1!
Real Mara opened up the score gap.
After a brief cheering celebration, Real Madrid fans didn't have much time to savor the gap as Barcelona pulled a goal back as soon as the game resumed.
Ibrahimovic!
In the first three rounds of La Liga, Ibrahimovic had a 'adaptation problem' and did not perform too well, scoring only one goal, but manager Pep Guardiola was very patient and continued to give Ibrahimovic a chance, and now the Swede has finally repaid the trust with a goal.
It was a brilliant goal.
After Ibrahimovic battled for the ball in the box, he rushed to the spot where the ball landed and took a long leg and slotted the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas.
2 to 3!
Ibrahimovic's goal was significant.
The game time is almost half-time, Barcelona are two goals behind, it is not a good thing, when it comes to half-time, two goals behind will bring them a lot of pressure, but also affect the mentality of the second half, and the mentality of the players can directly affect the game.
Now it's going to be much better.
It's too easy to score a goal in a fast-paced game right now, the mentality of the players is completely different, and it's not too difficult to equalize in the second half.
Barcelona then seemed to be in form, and two successive waves of attacks entered the Real Madrid penalty area.
But there was no time left.
As the referee blew the whistle, the first half of the game was over.
Both sides went into the locker room to rest.
Pep Guardiola stood up from his position and glanced at Pellegrini from a distance, a relaxed smile on his face.
Barcelona are still behind, but Pep Guardiola is relieved.
Because, Zhen Shaolong.
Guardiola has been worried that the fast-paced offensive battle will give Zhen Shaolong too many chances, and naturally there will be too many goals, but the worried thing did not happen, Zhen Shaolong not only failed to help Real Madrid score, but even the number of touches in the follow-up time was pitiful.
While there is an element of Pique's close defence, it is clear that his integration with his teammates is an issue.
"This may be Zhen Shaolong's weakness!"
"Although he has a lot of individual quality and the occasional outbursts are amazing, his combination is a big problem. He and Real Madrid's new teammates are not familiar with each other, and there is no tacit understanding at all! ”
"He's not very comfortable with the fast-paced ......"
Pep Guardiola thought.
When he returned to the locker room, Guardiola did not talk about Zhen Shaolong, but emphasized that the team should continue to play like this, and he just asked Pico to pay more attention to Zhen Shaolong.
In a way, Pep Guardiola is right.
Zhen Shaolong's cooperation with his teammates is indeed a problem, he has not adapted to Real Madrid's style of play at all, and when he is strictly guarded, the fast pace and slow pace are similar to him, he is the kind of player who seizes opportunities, not a player who can continuously create opportunities in a fast-paced game.
The only thing is that Zhen Shaolong's performance has not deteriorated, but his performance has not changed at all.
In addition, the greater impact is the close defense of the opposing defender, the opposing defender is still close to the defense, his running, passing and receiving the ball are affected, and his performance will naturally be greatly affected.
Therefore, Zhen Shaolong's performance has nothing to do with the pace of the pace.
Away team locker room.
The atmosphere in the Real Madrid team was not bad, and they were the leading side no matter how tight the game was.
Many players are happy enough to think back to last season's national derby, because when the two sides met last season, Real Madrid were on the back foot in all respects, and now they can lead Barcelona at the Camp Nou, which is much better than last season.
Of course.
The game is not over yet, it is still a little early to say that winning or losing, leading does not necessarily mean winning, Pellegrini reminded the players that they must pay attention to the game seriously, the fast pace will bring pressure to the players, and the spirit must be highly concentrated at all times, even a negligence may give the opponent a chance.
One of the Real Madrid players is not relaxed --
C- Ronaldo.
Everyone else can rest assured that they will be able to think about the outcome of the game and work towards the goal of helping the team beat their opponents, but C-Ronaldo is a little different, because since his move to Real Madrid, he has not yet performed in line with his value, and has been committing to huge pressure from the outside world.
C-Ronaldo is a Mr. billion!
C-Ronaldo's transfer fee is 78 million euros, plus the 10 million euro middle fee and signing fee to Mendes, etc., all add up to almost hundreds of millions of euros.
He fully deserves the title of 'Mr. Billions of Euros'.
When a professional player completes the transfer, he has to perform in line with his expectations, otherwise he will face skepticism from fans at his new club.
Now the outside world is constantly questioning C-Ronaldo, and he also feels a lot of pressure, he knows that he must work hard and play very well to win the recognition of Real Madrid fans.
It's not easy.
C-Ronaldo has been working hard every game, but because of the tacit understanding with his teammates and the adaptation to the new league, his performance is not very good, and he can't even rank in the top three in the midfield.
Real Madrid's best performer was Zhen Shaolong, who has eight goals and one assist in his last three league games.
Then there is Gonzalo Higuain, who has been a substitute in several games, but has scored three goals and completed an assist.
Again, Guti, one goal, two assists, considering that Guti only played twice, and once came off the bench, so the stats are quite gorgeous.
C-Ronaldo's stats are fourth: one goal, three assists.
If it is placed on an ordinary full-back, such data is definitely quite dazzling, such as Granero only has one assist, and he can still start in the national derby, but C-Ronaldo is not good, he is 'Mr. Hundreds of millions of euros', if the performance is compared with Granero, anyone who thinks about it will think it's a joke.
C-Ronaldo knows that he must perform better, not to mention that he wants to compare directly with Zhen Shaolong, but he can't be too different.
But how?
Barcelona let him play in the first half, and his performance was really shining, but it was only those two assists that really helped the team......
That's thanks to Zhen Shaolong.
C-Ronaldo knows that his assists are purely due to luck, not how good the performance is.
"If you count assists, I've got five assists, right?" C-Ronaldo thought to himself, "But I need to ...... more?" ”
"Maybe it's nice to have more assists?"
C-Ronaldo looked at the chattering Pellegrini, and this idea suddenly popped into his head, he must try to show the level of 'Mr. Billions of Euros', but he is only a wide player It is very difficult to score goals, he has many fewer chances than the striker, and always thinking about scoring goals is completely equivalent to putting pressure on himself.
'Maybe I can think of it that way, I want to score more goals, but only if I play as a striker, anyway, I have to be more ...... forward'
"Only assists in the back?"
"That's right!"
"Maybe I should pass the ball more to my team-mates...... Although coordination is a big problem, if you just look at Zhen Shaolong's position and pass the ball to Zhen Shaolong's feet, it will become much easier. ”
"That's what Granero did."
"I have a lot of advantages over him, I can break through by myself, find opportunities to pass good balls by myself, I am on the same road as Zhen Shaolong, if I keep giving passes, maybe I can have a lot of assists......"
C-Ronaldo found this a good note.
But...... Face!
C-Ronaldo remembered the face problem in the team, and looked at Pepe with a very unfriendly gaze, if it wasn't for Pepe's big mouth to tell the matter, he would not have fallen into the embarrassing situation of 'he can't pull his face if he wants to pass'.
Second.
Barcelona and Real Madrid began with a fierce battle, with the ball quickly changing three times in the space of a minute, before Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos played a kick to Arbeloa on the wing, who lifted it to Cristiano Ronaldo on the edge of the halfway.
C-Ronaldo runs wild with the ball.
There is no panic in the Barcelona backline, similar scenes have appeared many times in the first half, they only need to defend the penalty area, the bottom line, C-Ronaldo and his teammates are very poor, no matter how good his skills are, it is difficult to complete the goal, most of the time the football will be broken.
Puyol helped defend the past.
C-Ronaldo noticed Puyol, he knew that the other party would definitely stick to him, and then stuck to him like a kraft candy.
That's sad.
C-Ronaldo remembered his plan, subconsciously glanced ahead, and kicked the ball out after a little hesitation.
"It's just a pass, it's not a ......"
He comforted himself.
The pass was a bit unexpected.
In the first half, C-Ronaldo did not take the initiative to pass the ball to Zhen Shaolong (except for the first goal), and the landing point of the football flying high was obviously towards Zhen Shaolong.
Zhen Shaolong was also surprised, but he still took the lead in getting stuck.
And then.
Zhen Shaolong found that C-Ronaldo's pass can really be said to be wonderful, he was stuck on the left side, letting his body rush to the goal, but Pique is a very difficult opponent, the opponent still blocked half of the space, and the football was biased to this side of his body when it fell.
He half-turned easily and stopped the ball with his chest.
The Barcelona defense panicked!
Zhen Shaolong will definitely not miss such a great opportunity, he is on the right side of the penalty area, only a dozen meters away from the goal, in the process of the football falling, he swept the goal with the corner of his eye, and then immediately raised his right foot.
"Bang!"
The top of the foot is in frontal contact with the football.
Barb!
Hanging doors!
The ball was kicked high and flew over Pique's head with ease.
When the ball reached the highest point, the ball fell towards the far corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Valdés reacted and immediately ran towards the far corner, but it was too late.
The soccer ball sticks to the post and goes into the goal!
"Hula~~"
The Real Madrid fans who came to Camp Nou with the team immediately let out an amazing cheer!
Pass~
