As early as Cruyff's Dream Team, and perhaps even earlier, Barcelona have always regarded possession as their life.

In Barcelona's words, possession is in their blood and genes, and they can't get rid of it no matter what.

In fact, over the years, Barcelona has also been practicing a principle, that is, the game can be lost, but the concept of possession cannot be lost, so they have never disdained non-possession play.

Some people say it's a form of complacency, others say it's a kind of stubbornness, and of course, there are certainly some people who say it's sticking to their own philosophy, and they believe that Barcelona's passing and possession will rise again sooner or later.

The earth is round, and so is the football.

Martino's desire to inject change into the team when he was in charge of Barcelona led him to bring more long and through balls, but this style of play gave him mixed reputations, especially when the results were not satisfactory, and he ended up dismal.

What can Luis Enrique, a Barcelona legend with a modest coaching resume, bring to this team?

In the early days of the game, many thought he would bring Barca a solid defence, as they had not conceded a single goal before meeting Real Madrid, which Barca had never done in the past few years.

But soon, after playing Real Madrid, Luis Enrique's defense was completely shattered.

Along with the controversy, Luis Enrique's coaching at Barcelona was also stumbling, the trident did not perform well, and the team's results were not ideal, which put him under great pressure, until after the winter break, the team ushered in a comprehensive recovery, especially the successive big wins, which gave him enough confidence.

But the draw for the Copa del Rey magically pushed Real Madrid in front of Enrique and his Barcelona.

0-1 at home, how to play away?

Everyone had thought of many, many possibilities, such as whether Enrique would put Xavi back in the starting line-up? Could it be the sudden promotion of a young player? Or will there be some surprise in the formation of troops?

But at the Bernabeu Stadium, in front of Real Madrid, Enrique surprised people.

He chose to defend and counterattack!

Yes, that's right, Barcelona is actually playing...... Defend...... Guard...... Anti...... Hit!

…………

…………

Only 38 seconds into the game, Barcelona's backfield cleared the siege, and before he crossed the halfway, he was intercepted by Real Madrid's left fullback Marcelo, and quickly passed back to the front court and handed it to Yang Yang in the front.

After Yang Yang stopped the ball, a beautiful pendulum passed, shook the central defender Pique, and easily pushed the shot, opening the scoring for Real Madrid!

This goal boosted Real Madrid's morale, and everyone was bent on taking out Barcelona at home, preferably giving the opponent another unforgettable defeat.

But soon, the course of the game proved once again that the defeat of the proud army is a timeless truth.

Only in the ninth minute, after Barcelona broke the ball at the back, they quickly played a quick counterattack, Messi received the ball and crossed the halfway line and passed straight to Cristiano Ronaldo in front.

The Portuguese turned with his back to the ball and fed Neymar a through ball into the box.

Neymar quickly plugged in, did not waste the opportunity created by his teammates, faced Courtois single-handedly, and a calm push shot equalized for Barcelona, 1-1!

It's just once, and it's an accident.

Seven minutes later, Real Madrid's corner kick attack failed to work, and after being picked off by goalkeeper Ter Stegen, he kicked the ball directly with a big foot, and it was the cooperation of the front trident again, this time it was Cristiano Ronaldo who took the lead in using his speed to form a single knife, but the ball was too big, and Courtois attacked in time and failed to form a threat.

Both counter-attacks were very sharp, and they were able to see the changes in Barcelona.

This not only made the Real Madrid players on the pitch feel uncomfortable, but even Ancelotti and others on the sidelines couldn't believe it, and they all wondered if they were wrong?

Barcelona is actually playing defensive counter-attack?

Doesn't this team see possession of the ball more than victory or defeat?

In the thirtieth minute, Real Madrid created another opportunity, Carvajal received the ball from Di Maria on the right side, quickly went down to the bottom line and crossed to the goal, Yang Yang followed in the middle, and in the absence of a shooting angle, he flicked his heel and dialed the ball to the middle.

Suarez followed up and easily pushed and hit, 2-1, Real Madrid took the lead again!

But this time the lead only lasted for about ten minutes, before the end of the first half, Real Madrid attacked the Barcelona penalty area, Alba handball foul, but was not penalized by the referee, while Real Madrid protested, Barcelona quickly counterattacked.

Alba passed the ball to Neymar, who then passed it to Messi, who quickly knocked back, and Neymar scored a brace with a single knife, 2-2!

Both goals were basically quick passes, both of which were quick counter-attacks after the defence was completed.

Everyone was a little incredulous about Barca's turnaround.

If it's just a change on the field, it can be said to be a bit confusing, but statistically, Barcelona only had more than 40% possession in the first 30 minutes, and even at half-time, they were only 44%.

In other words, this time they don't even have to fight for possession!

Although it was only a short 45-minute game, everyone saw a different Barcelona.

This team does not have the obsession with possession in the past Pep Guardiola, does not have the strong possession elements of Barca's tradition, and even they are not so active in counter-attacking, which is what Barcelona has regarded as life in the past few years.

But now, all of them have been subverted by Luis Enrique.

He actually began to play a practical and concise defensive counterattack like Real Madrid.

This has allowed everyone to see the other side of professional football, which is to keep pace with the times and subvert itself.

Even if it is as persistent as Barcelona, there will be a day of change after all.

Of course, maybe it's just against Real Madrid that they need to do that, against other teams, it's not necessary at all.

……

The first half was 2-2, both sides fought very fiercely, and the players also fought hard.

At halftime, Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos complained to the referee all the way, thinking that Barcelona's second goal was problematic just now, Alba obviously handballed first, but did not give a foul, but scored a goal.

As he spoke, Ramos became more and more agitated, and also mentioned several other decisions in the first half, and even a little disrespectful to the referee when he entered the tunnel, which led to him being shown a yellow card in the tunnel.

Due to the defense in the first half, Ramos has received a yellow card, and finally two yellows turned into one red, and the Real Madrid captain was sent off, which made him feel very angry, if it wasn't for Yang Yang and others who arrived in time to stop him, he would have been about to do it to the referee.

La Liga has been cracking down on players putting pressure on referees in recent years, trying to establish the authority of referees, and Ramos's actions are very irrational, and at the same time, Real Madrid have to suffer from one less person.

Subsequently, the Real Madrid captain also calmed down in the dressing room and apologized for his actions.

Carlo Ancelotti also had to make a substitution, directly replacing Suarez with Raphael Varane and partnering Xavi Martinez in central defence, hoping to stabilize the team's defence.

……

Everyone, including the live broadcast, only to suddenly find out that Real Madrid was missing one person at the start of the second half.

At first, they thought Ramos was late, but when they saw the captain's armband on Marcelo's arm, they noticed the problem and got the answer, which turned out to be a red card.

With one less man than the opposition at half-time, the situation is undoubtedly bad.

Real Madrid began to retreat in an all-round way, adopting a steady defensive counter-attacking strategy.

Barcelona took advantage of the numerical advantage, controlled the scene, and attacked Real Madrid again and again.

Regaining possession of the ball, but Barça seemed to be back to their old slow pace.

The defensive counterattack that was still playing like that just now is back to the same way in the blink of an eye, with the slow backcourt backwards, the slow advancement, and the slow coordination, and the trident looks like it has lost the sharpness of the first half......

Mascherano is still stable in the central midfield, the protection of the defensive line is very good, coupled with the excellent performance of the central defensive combination of Varane and Xavi Martinez, so that Real Madrid only lost the advantage of the field with one less man, and did not appear too dangerous scenes.

Yang Yang was pushed to the front, still waiting for an opportunity to fight back.

The first half was a beautiful one, with four goals that were exhilarating, but the second half was very dull.

Barcelona didn't seem to know how to play at all, while Real Madrid had to retreat due to a numerical disadvantage.

Until the eighty-fourth minute, Real Madrid quickly hit the front, Yang Yang responded with his back to the periphery of the penalty area, received a pass from the midfield, stopped, quickly divided to the right side, handed it to Di Maria, turned around and sprinted forward, and Di Maria also sent a direct pass with his heart to pass the ball into the penalty area.

Pique and Mathieu hit Yang Yang with one left and one right, and even Pique had a very obvious pulling action.

But the two Barcelona central defenders dragged and dragged, but they couldn't stop Yang Yang, and he took the first step out and directly sent Di Maria's pass into Barcelona's goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

In an instant, the entire Bernabeu stadium exploded!

More than 80,000 fans were suppressed by the enthusiasm of the whole game, and it completely burst out at this moment.

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he pointed at Di Maria and motioned for him to come to the sidelines to celebrate.

The two have been fighting side by side for many years, and this tacit understanding is still quite good.

The entire Bernabeu stadium was chanting Yang Yang's name, because they knew that it was Yang Yang who saved Real Madrid again.

With two goals and an assist, Real Madrid led Barcelona three times, and all three goals were created by Yang Yang.

He's in great form.

Almost every time it comes to a critical moment, he is always able to step up and surprise everyone!

Gradually, Real Madrid fans began to believe it.

As long as Yang Yang is here, Real Madrid can't lose!
