With two hours to go, Barcelona fans are already pouring into the Camp Nou.

The streets of Barcelona were filled with crowds of fans in Barcelona jerseys, shouting slogans or carrying slogans, heading towards the football stadium in the city centre.

The derby of the century is not only attracting the attention of football fans and journalists from all over the world, but also the eyes of the whole city, the whole of Catalonia, the whole of Spain, everyone.

In the past few years, Barcelona has been far inferior to Real Madrid in terms of results, winning only one game in four years, and the draws are pitiful, which undoubtedly makes Barcelona fans feel extremely painful, and even they complain and anger because of it.

But every time, when the derby of the century comes, they can't help but look forward to it, hoping that the team can continue to work hard.

They may shout slogans very loudly and energetically, or some Barcelona fans will deliberately say something to suppress Barcelona before the game, and some people will even deliberately elevate Real Madrid to trample on Barcelona......

But behind these behaviors, it's all because they want to win!

They want to win, they want to go crazy!

In the past four years, Real Madrid has been extremely brilliant, while Barcelona has fallen into darkness, and it was not until last season that Barcelona regained some morale with a Champions League title, but Real Madrid also won the double of La Liga and the Copa del Rey, not to be outdone.

This summer, Barcelona beat Real Madrid and brought in Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United to form a super dream combination of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, and this season is also on the rise.

This immediately rekindled the hope of all Barcelona fans.

With such a lavish squad and such a strong attacking force, maybe they can really beat Real Madrid at home this year?

Even, in the next few years, Barcelona will be able to beat Real Madrid to win the championship!

With such a mind, with varying degrees of apprehension, they went towards the temple in their hearts.

……

When more and more Barcelona fans came to the Camp Nou, when they saw the bus with the Real Madrid logo on its body coming by, all the Barcelona fans were excited, and they all surrounded and blocked the way.

Many fans surrounded the bus, banging on the body and windows, and some even intimidated and insulted the Real Madrid players through the windows.

Fortunately, Camp Nou was also prepared for this situation, and the security personnel quickly stepped forward to clear the way for the Real Madrid bus, separating the group of fanatical Barcelona fans and escorting the bus all the way to the players' tunnel.

Real Madrid players are well-informed, have already experienced countless such battles, and are mentally prepared for the difficulties of playing away from home, if this level of interference from fans can affect them, then their psychology is too fragile.

Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane got off the bus and sent the Real Madrid players into the tunnel one by one.

At this time, there was still an hour and a half before the start of the game.

……

Yang Yang still wore a black mask, and did not expose his injuries to the outside world, and even when he warmed up, he wore a mask throughout the whole process, but he trained very hard.

Yesterday, when Ancelotti announced the squad for the game, he explained Yang Yang's selection, but still did not reveal whether Yang Yang would start, which is a bit tricky, and for this game, Real Madrid's lineup is also full of suspense.

Isco has been in excellent form this season, but will he continue to start this game?

And the central defender, Javi Martinez did a good job of freezing Llorente, will he continue to partner with Ramos?

Right wingers Arjen Robben and Angel Di Maria have both played well, but who of the two players will start?

Another injured member of the Real Madrid team, Xavi Alonso, has recovered from injury and has not played in the team, and this time he is also in the squad, will he start again?

You must know that in the past, Ancelotti played with three backs, in addition to a defensive midfielder, it was Xavi Alonso and Modric who played the main role, and it would not be surprising if Xavi Alonso was arranged to start again in this game.

And Xavi Alonso's own desire to fight is also extremely urgent.

In addition to the midfield, the back line is also full of suspense, and the wing will use Azpilicueta with better defensive ability? Or with Carvajal?

Cesar Azpilicueta can play as a left and right wing-back, he is characterized by defence, Ancelotti has also started him many times this season, mainly to grasp the defense on the wing, and this time the left and right full-backs are facing Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, according to the convention, it is natural to hold one side and attack the other.

There is so much suspense that even the Real Madrid players themselves are not sure how they will play.

On the way to Barcelona just now, Ancelotti and Zidane were still struggling with this matter.

In the complete opposite of Real Madrid, Barcelona hardly have any suspense.

Goalkeeper Valdés, Alba, Mathieu, Pique and Alves at the back, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Xavi in midfield, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in front.

This is Barcelona's main squad this season, and as long as the players are not injured or sick, they will definitely start like this.

For a team like Barcelona, they don't need to think about the characteristics of other teams at all, as long as they focus on playing to their own strengths, they can solve the problem.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, Ancelotti and Zidane tend to rotate, coupled with the amazing performance of new signing Isco this season, which adds some suspense to Real Madrid's arrangement.

It wasn't until everyone returned from warm-up training on the pitch that Carlo Ancelotti submitted his team's starting line-up at the last minute.

……

"Goalkeeper: Casillas; Defenders: Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Carvajal; Midfielders: David Silva, Xavi Martinez and Luka Modric; The front three: Hazard, Yang Yang and Arjen Robben. ”

Zinedine Zidane announced the team's starting line-up for the game, and the dressing room was silent all the time.

Although the players who got the start were somewhat fortunate in their hearts, it was more of a responsibility.

Because the next game is crucial, and may even determine the title race between Real Madrid and Barcelona this season.

If Barcelona win, they will undoubtedly get a three-point advantage, and as long as they don't drop points on other teams, it will undoubtedly be quite difficult for Real Madrid to regain that three-point advantage.

The biggest difference between La Liga and other leagues is here, whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, the results of each other's matches play a crucial role in the final championship.

The rise of Atletico Madrid this season has made this kind of strong dialogue even more important and more elusive.

"There has been a very noticeable shift for Barcelona this season, and that is that their long balls have started to increase."

After Zinedine Zidane announced his starting line-up, Carlo Ancelotti also began to analyse the tactics of both sides and prepare for the game that would follow, and he wanted everyone to be able to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

"In the past, Barcelona didn't like long passes very much, because in Barcelona's football philosophy, it represents risks and mistakes, so they don't like long passes, more short passes, slowly advancing, but now it's obviously different, they have a lot of long passes at the back, and there are a lot of long passes behind them from the middle distance."

"Why is there such a shift?" Ancelotti asked.

But soon, he himself gave the answer.

"The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo has given Barcelona a high point up front, although the Portuguese has not been an orthodox center forward before, but this does not prevent him from taking on this role at Barcelona, and he is also doing well, and his sprinting explosiveness is an important weapon behind Barcelona's play."

Last season, the outside media and fans have been saying that Barcelona is self-contained, but in fact, this team has also been seeking change, and Martino's resume is not too convincing, but his ability is indeed good.

Under his tutelage, Barcelona began to experiment with new styles, such as moving away from the well-known slow advances in favor of faster and more long balls and mid-range balls, which Barca had previously rejected.

"Another obvious change is that Barcelona's reliance on Messi in attack is decreasing, Neymar successfully proved himself to be a reliable partner for Messi last season, and the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo has greatly eased Barcelona's dependence on Messi in the front, especially in recent games."

"So in this game we have to be integral defensively, we have to keep the three lines close, the midfielder has to be able to suppress the opponents, especially Javi Martinez, you are very important, I need you to stand up."

The reason for choosing Javi Martinez is that Ancelotti must have taken into account the team's defensive high ball.

Ramos and Vermaelen are both fast but not high, but Xavi Martinez is tall enough and has excellent physical confrontation, which can improve the height and hardness of Real Madrid's midfield and not fall behind in the competition.

'We're going to play tight defence, but we're not going to be conservative, we're still going to put in the attacking end, it's still the same old rule, grab the ball and play the counter-attack at the first time, Barca's back line is not solid, this is our chance.'

Lightheadedness is a common problem for Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the difference is that Real Madrid's defense is actually very good, especially in the midfield, with the world's top midfielders like Mascherano and Xavi Martinez.

But Barcelona's backline is really precarious, and the Champions League group stage in midweek was a connection between Kaka and Robinho, which directly penetrated Barcelona's defense, and Real Madrid will obviously have more chances.

Tactically, Ancelotti did lean a bit defensively, but judging by the starting line-up, it was clear that he still wanted to attack.

At least whether it is the two full-backs or the midfield, Real Madrid are very positive.

Whether it can withstand the test of Barcelona's attacking pressure will need to be proved by the game.
