847 It's more than just a goal!

"Real Madrid's midfielder broke the ball successfully."

"Mascherano passes to Sneijder, Real Madrid strikes back."

'Sneijder dribbled across the halfway line and crossed diagonally to Ibrahimovic.'

'Busquets went down and made a tackle and didn't get the ball.

'Ibrahimovic plugged in and there was no offside, and this time Real Madrid had a good chance.

"Look at what the Swedish centre-forward does and dribble to the right side of the box."

……

Barcelona are also very fast in their return to the defense.

When Sneijder's pass was stuffed directly behind Pique, and Ibrahimovic rushed to catch up with the ball, Barcelona's back line was already quickly returning to defense, and Pique also turned around for the first time and directly entangled Ibrahimovic.

Milito followed closely behind, forming a solid double with Pique, forcing the Swedish centre-forward to dribble to the right side of the box.

At the moment when Sneijder passed the ball, Yang Yang was just in the direction of retreat, and Puyol followed him, which was not conducive to passing, but after Sneijder passed, Yang Yang turned around and started as soon as possible, competing with Puyol for speed.

Yang Yang did not go over to meet Ibrahimovic, but ran behind Milito, in front of Puyol.

He was waiting for Ibrahimovic's pass.

In that area, there is not only Ibrahimovic, but also Pique and Milito, and if Yang Yang passes, Puyol will definitely follow, it will be too crowded, and it will be more conducive to defense.

On the contrary, as it is now, the space is staggered from each other, and the offensive threat is greater.

Yang Yang believes that with Ibrahimovic's strength, he will definitely be able to pass the ball over.

……

The Swedish centre-forward took the ball to Pique on the right side of the penalty area, and both men were sprinting fast.

Seeing that he was about to take the ball out of the bottom line, Ibrahimovic suddenly made a quick stop to dunk the ball, dunked the ball over, directly dunked Pique, and picked up the pass to Milito's back position.

Milito tried to block with his feet, but Ibrahimovic's cross was neither high nor low, which was not conducive to his interception.

The ball went over Milito's feet and landed behind him.

Almost at the same moment when the ball landed, Yang Yang just arrived at the same time, blocked Puyol with his body, and took the first step to push the ball with his right foot, directly pushing the ball into the bottom left corner of the Barcelona goal.

Valdés tried to make amends, but the shot came quickly and in the opposite direction, and there was nothing he could do.

……

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"In the eighteenth minute, a quick counterattack from Real Madrid, Yang Yang received an assist from Ibrahimovic and opened the scoring for the team, 1-0!"

"Oh my God, Real Madrid's counterattack came too quickly and too suddenly!"

"Judging from the start of the entire first half, Real Madrid was completely at an absolute disadvantage in terms of possession, but the home team's defense was very tenacious, especially the back three defense carefully built by Benitez, which was very orderly and tight, and did not give Barcelona any chances."

"Real Madrid's counterattack is very efficient, there has been an anti-offside position just now, but unfortunately it was blown away by the referee's misjudgment, but Real Madrid quickly reorganized a counterattack and quickly scored a goal."

'It was definitely a crucial goal!'

"With this goal, Real Madrid will have the advantage in their home stadium, and Barcelona will have to invest more in the attacking end, as long as the pass and the foot are down, they will not be able to tear apart the Real Madrid defence."

……

After Yang Yang scored the goal, the whole person quickly rushed to the bottom of the Real Madrid fan stands, excitedly shouting at the fans in the stands, and Ibrahimovic and other teammates also rushed up and surrounded him.

Everyone knows how much this goal means to Real Madrid!

Yang Yang quickly turned around, pulling Ibrahimovic with one hand and Sneijder with the other, sharing the glory of this goal with the two goalscorers, and at the same time telling everyone that he scored the goal, but the Swedish center and Sneijder also contributed to it.

Mascherano's tackles were precise and timely, just enough for Real Madrid to catch their opponents off guard.

Sneijder's dribbling and pinpoint distribution were also crucial, and it could have been said that without his precise through-the-ball kick, there would have been no Real Madrid's counter-attacking goals.

Of course, Ibrahimovic's assists are also quite beautiful, especially when he picks up the assist after deducting Pique, which fully shows his superb footwork and his familiarity with Yang Yang's style of play.

It's a goal, but in reality, it's more than just a goal!

…………

…………

After conceding a goal, the entire Bernabeu stadium was boiling.

All the fans cheered.

Even if they are reluctant, they have to admit that Barcelona is indeed playing a kind of football ahead of its time.

They have amazing passing and possession, excellent passing and receiving skills, and unstoppable short penetration, combined with the presence of a superstar like Lionel Messi up front, making it difficult for any team to suppress them.

This is Barcelona's nuclear weapons that swept Europa, so to speak!

In addition to being tightly guarded, Barcelona's passing and possession is an unsolvable problem for any kind of tactic.

There was a certain element of serendipity in the first derby of the century this season, but this one can no longer be left to chance.

If the team wants to win, then the defensive counterattack is the best option.

Even if the back three does not seem to be in line with Real Madrid's tradition, everyone has to compromise in the face of results.

……

After conceding a goal first, Barcelona restarted the game, and they were still not in a hurry.

Years of pass-and-possession play have created the amazing patience of the Barcelona players, and after a week's rest, they are obviously very good in terms of fitness and condition, and they are not afraid of Real Madrid at all.

However, Real Madrid did not become paralyzed by the lead of one goal, and the team still adopted a strategy of shrinking the defense, tightening the 30-meter zone on two lines, allowing Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic to roam in front of the court in search of opportunities, and Sneijder was responsible for counter-attacking the ball.

This style of play made Barcelona very depressed and helpless.

They seem to have the advantage on the field, but in fact, it is difficult to get absolute opportunities in the attack, and many times, the attack often stops at long-range shots or their own mistakes, and is seriously inefficient.

Interestingly, Real Madrid never fouled easily in their own half, and even from the opening to the present, there has not been a single yellow card, which is very resolute in following Liverpool's defensive strategy in last season's Champions League final.

Real Madrid's defense is mainly to cut off Barcelona's ball path, with more emphasis on the patience and coordination of players in defense, focusing on the arrival rate of players, and trying to keep the overall formation compact and orderly.

In other words, as long as you don't foul when defending, you can launch a counterattack as soon as you grab the ball.

Sneijder is the team's point of play, Ibrahimovic is the tactical fulcrum in front, and Yang Yang is the team's anti-offside weapon and the team's final scoring point.

Arguably, such a defensive strategy is more effective and threatening than a blind foul.

Once you foul, the opportunity to counterattack is gone, but you can play a counterattack without fouling, and you can play a counterattack if you break the ball once.

From Liverpool to Real Madrid, Benitez's style of play has made Barcelona feel very uncomfortable.

But on the other hand, the scene is indeed dull, and it can even be said that there is a serious lack of wonderful pictures.

It's not drowsy, but let alone the audience in front of the TV, even the fans at the scene are a little boring to watch.

…………

…………

The first half ended with a score of 1-0.

Surprisingly, Real Madrid did not concede a single goal and defended very well, especially the back three, and the formation was quite orderly.

Barcelona possessed 68 per cent of the ball, while Real Madrid only had 32 per cent, a pitiful few, but in terms of the number of shots on goal, Real Madrid was as good as Barcelona, and in terms of effective attack, the home team even had two more chances to enter the penalty area than Barcelona.

It's not hard to reflect the situation in the first half.

Barcelona were scoreless, Real Madrid lost possession, but counter-attacked sharply and had more shots on goal.

Benitez was pleased with the performance of his players, especially the team's defence, at half-time, and he highlighted the contribution of the three midfielders in defence, believing that they did their job well and froze Barca's attack and penetration.

'I'm sure they're going to step up in the second half and they're not going to give up the three points like that, so I'm sure they're going to continue to be a threat to us in the second half and we have to be vigilant and focused.'

Las Diarra is a hidden danger in the team's midfield, this player's contribution in defense is indeed very obvious and very useful, but there is a very serious problem with sticking the ball, he likes to carry the ball, so much so that in the previous two years, he was the number ten player in the Real Madrid team.

A midfielder wearing a number 10 shirt shows his love of the ball.

But Benitez also warned him more than once before the game that he couldn't concede the ball in his own half no matter what, so he had to reduce possession, judging from the situation in the first half, Las Diarra did a good job, but there were still a few sticky situations, Benitez gave a reminder.

"Pep Guardiola will definitely be in response to this in the second half, and we can't give them such a chance in any way!" Benitez strengthened his tone, reminding further.

Las Diarra is also sensitive in the team at the moment, as Mascherano occupies a regular position and will have to convince Benitez with his performance if he wants to get a chance to play.

Therefore, he had to listen to this remark.

If he makes another mistake and is caught by Barcelona and concedes a goal to ruin a good situation, he is likely to be swept out of the house this summer, which is clearly not what Las Diarra wants to see.

Subsequently, Benitez deduced the situation in the second half and arranged targeted arrangements.

And there is one important point......

"At the beginning of the second half, we attacked!"
