801 Who will freeze Yang Yang?

"Friends in front of the TV, what we are broadcasting live for you now is the 12th round of La Liga in the 2009-2010 season, Barcelona will host Real Madrid in the derby of the century."

"It's a world-high match, with some of the world's top superstars on both sides."

"Barcelona have the world's best stars such as Messi, Thierry Henry, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Alves, while Real Madrid are no less than impressive, with world football number one Yang Yang, chief centre-forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Brazilian superstar Kaka, and Dutch winger Arjen Robben, as well as top midfielders such as Xavi Alonso and Mascherano in midfield."

"It's fair to say that both teams are full of talent and stars, and tonight's derby of the century has been hailed as the most expensive game ever played in world football, with both players worth the most in the world."

"In charge of tonight's match is the famous Spanish referee at the international level, Juntiano Marienko."

"If you are a fan who knows anything about La Liga last season, he will definitely be unfamiliar with him, because he was the referee who officiated Real Madrid's 2-6 defeat at home to Barcelona last season."

"The 36-year-old Marienko is a sociologist who has been a football referee since 2000 and became an international referee in 2004.

"Before the game, Benitez said in an interview with the media that Real Madrid will not make any protests against the referee, because he believes that the Spanish referee will uphold the principle of fairness and impartiality in enforcing the law, and attacking the referee has never been Real Madrid's style."

Barcelona are even more disagreeable, and they are obviously hoping that Marienko can continue to bring good luck to the team and continue the luck of beating Real Madrid 6-2 at the Bernabeu last season.

"The game is about to start and both teams are lined up in their respective halves."

"We can see that on Barcelona's side, Andres Iniesta appeared on the left wing, Keita and Xavi were in the middle, Henry played the center forward position, and Messi was still on the right side."

"There wasn't much suspense on Real Madrid's side, and Arbeloa's start at left wing-back was seen as a sign that Benitez was taking the initiative to defend, because Arbeloa was a player who was significantly weaker in attack than Maxwell and Marcelo, and his most successful game was to freeze Messi."

"Both teams have made targeted arrangements to see how the specific game will work."

"This is the second time in the careers of the two managers, Pep Guardiola and Rafael Benitez, both Spanish and world famous managers, and the manager of last season's Champions League final."

"This is Barcelona's number one star, Messi, the number one contributor to the team's success last season, has scored eight goals in La Liga and is also doing quite well, ranking third in the scorers' list, tied with Real Madrid's Ibrahimovic."

"This is Yang Yang, the two-time World Footballer of the Year and European Ballon d'Or winner, and the perfect choice for the two awards this year, if there are no surprises, he will become the first superstar ever to win the World Footballer of the Year three years in a row, and will also tie Platini to win the European Ballon d'Or for the third time in a row."

"The game is about to start, Barcelona is attacking from left to right, Real Madrid is from right to left."

"Real Madrid kicked off first."

…………

…………

As soon as Real Madrid kicked off, Barcelona took the initiative to press forward.

The ball went from the back to the front and quickly fell into Barcelona's control, with Pique pushing the ball down and handing it to Xavi.

Barcelona took advantage of the opportunity to get past half-time, with Xavi quickly moving the ball down the right.

Alves cut in along the right flank, received the ball and drove straight into the attack, trying to attack down the right.

Barcelona's first attack was when Alves tried to cross the ball into the box, but Vermaelen stepped ahead and headed it out.

But the ball is still at the feet of Barcelona.

Real Madrid's return speed was fast, the back line and the double back quickly returned to position, and the whole formation was relatively compact.

The three players in the front field, Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben, did not return to the defense, but took the front, forming a formation similar to 4213, which also fully shows Real Madrid's attitude, that is, never to defend.

Barcelona's opening was more fierce, Alves on the right side played more actively, and tried to send the ball into the box again, but the landing point was not very good, and Pepe pushed it out again.

Xavi Alonso handed the ball to Kaka, and the Brazilian midfielder took a step forward down the middle and slid the ball straight behind Barcelona's defence.

But this time, Ibrahimovic turned slowly and couldn't catch up in the first place, and the ball came to the edge of Barcelona's penalty area, which was intercepted by Valdés, and it was still within Barcelona's control.

……

"It can be seen that Real Madrid still want to attack, but Benitez is obviously also worried about the defense behind him."

"Against a team like Barcelona, the ability to pass and penetrate the ball is really good, as long as you show a little gap, you will be firmly grasped by the opponent, so it is understandable to seek stability at the back."

"Barcelona started the game and it looked good, with Alves alive on the right."

"But in this way, the defensive problems behind Alves have also been exposed, who will freeze Yang Yang?"

……

As soon as the on-site commentator finished speaking, Real Madrid's midfield once again successfully defended Barcelona's pass, Mascherano cut the ball off, and Vermaelen kicked it forward without thinking.

Yang Yang pulled to the left side to receive the ball, stopped with his chest, and faced Puyol who hurriedly caught up with the defense, Yang Yang hooked his foot, stopped the ball, and suddenly stabbed forward, and quickly got rid of Puyol and chased after him.

"Beautiful man has a ball!"

"Yang Yang took advantage of his speed and forcibly broke through Puyol!"

As soon as Yang Yang surpassed Puyol, he immediately blocked Puyol with his body, dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area, and had the posture of rushing directly into the goal with his feet, which scared Barcelona's other central defender Pique to rush over to intercept it as soon as possible.

Before rushing into the penalty area, Yang Yang gently picked up the pass with his left foot to the right side of the top of the penalty area, and Robben followed up and volleyed directly with his left foot, which was high.

The Dutch flying wing grabbed his head hard with both hands and shook his head at Yang Yang in frustration, he was a little too hasty and couldn't hold down the ball.

"Real Madrid's counter-attack was very threatening."

"When Yang Yang faced Puyol, the speed advantage was obvious, and he was very decisive in handling the ball, if Robben could stop and play again, then it should be there."

"However, although he failed to create a threat, the defensive problems behind Alves were exposed."

"Now it's up to Barcelona to defend Yang Yang."

……

Barcelona were quick to create a threat.

Alves stepped forward again on the right to plan an attack, Messi won the ball and passed into the penalty area, and Henry followed up and pushed it directly.

But the angle of the shot was too good and it was saved directly by Casillas.

Real Madrid tried to launch a counterattack, but Barcelona actively fought in front, resulting in Real Madrid unable to pass through the midfield, and directly kicked forward, Pique grabbed Robben and returned the ball to the midfield.

Sergio Busquets played to the left, Seydou Keita passed the ball to Xavi, and the Barcelona midfielder took a look ahead and fired a shot straight over the crossbar.

Barcelona's pressing in the front court made Real Madrid's attack unorganized, but Real Madrid's midfield defense also made it difficult for Barcelona to form an effective pass penetration.

Especially on the two wings, Yang Yang and Robben always maintained a pressing posture, forcing the opponent to pass the ball more to the middle.

And Barcelona's attack in the middle was aimed at Real Madrid's double back and hit the wall directly.

Both teams started with a fast pace and each other's tactics were targeted.

Barcelona took the lead in pressing in the midfield after the opening, using their overall advantage to try to seize the opportunity, which made Real Madrid's opening strategy fail to work.

However, Real Madrid also quickly adjusted according to the situation on the field, took the initiative to respond by shrinking the defense, and patiently looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Xavi Alonso and Mascherano are basically in their own half, even within the 30-metre zone, and together with the backline, Real Madrid's entire central midfield has always been meticulous and does not leave gaps for Barcelona.

As for the attack in the frontcourt, it relies on the four superstars of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Robben and Kaka.

The pace of the scene was fast, the ball changed hands back and forth, and there were surprising scenes from time to time, whether it was the fans on the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they were all addicted to watching.

This is the contest between the top teams in the world, and the technical and tactical content is very high.

Barcelona won on the ball, while Real Madrid were more dominant on the counter-attack.

And when the game time jumped to ten minutes, and both sides deliberately slowed down the offensive after the opening fast-paced attack and defense, Real Madrid planned an attack in the front.

Yang Yang quickly ran inside from the left side, and suddenly buckled when he received Kaka's pass, and the emergency stop changed direction to rush to the direction of the penalty area, Busquets was tall, but he was not as flexible as Yang Yang, so he could only make a decisive kick and trip Yang Yang directly with the ball.

He knows very well that if Yang Yang bursts through, there will be three to three behind him, with the personal abilities of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben, God knows what will happen?

'Busquets' foul was smart.

"If Yang Yang really rushes over, then the back line will be very dangerous."

'It also shows the wisdom of the Barcelona defender.'

"Real Madrid's free-kick is 32 meters from the goal, and it should be said that there is no possibility of creating a threat, so Barcelona should still pay attention to the opponent's free kick coordination."
