1117 Where did Yang Yang go?

Barcelona's players are full of talent, but Real Madrid's players are equally unambiguous.

When Eden Hazard faced Alves one-on-one, David Silva, although he was not involved in the whole passing process, suddenly rushed into the box behind Alves at high speed, and it looked like he was going to rush over to grab the spot.

The Spanish midfielder's sudden forward penetration immediately interfered with the judgment of the Barcelona defenders.

Busquets has to watch out for Modric on the edge of the box, and after David Silva stepped forward, Pique had to pay attention to him, no one knows how Hazard will deal with it, how to pass the ball, what if it is to find David Silva to cooperate?

Mathieu also needs to help defend Pique, so naturally he will also focus on the fast-changing battle ahead.

When Eden Hazard forced a break through Alves and sent a left-footed cross straight into the box, Barcelona's defenders panicked because the ball was clearly not coming forward, but towards the middle.

Pique and Mathieu were both on the left outside the six-yard box, and goalkeeper Valdés was also on the left, but Hazard passed the ball through the gap between the two central defenders and the goalkeeper, and it was a difficult half-high ball to deal with, neither the central defender nor the goalkeeper could deal with it in time, so they had to grab the position.

When Pique and Mathieu saw the ball flying past them, their first reaction was not good, and then suddenly a terrible thought popped into their minds.

Where did Yang Yang go?

Damn it! Where did Yang Yang go?

Pique and Mathieu turned around in shock at the same time, and saw Yang Yang rushing into the small penalty area at great speed, blocking the left full-back Alba who was chasing all the way behind him with his body, and stabbed the ball into the Barcelona goal, while he himself was tripped in the penalty area by Alba's kick.

The referee's whistle sounded instantly!

I saw Yang Yang jumping up from the grass quickly, waving his hands excitedly, and shouting non-stop, the first one rushed towards Hazard and hugged the Belgian.

David Silva also quickly rushed over and hugged Yang Yang and Hazard hard at the same time.

The other Real Madrid players also pounced on them and surrounded them.

……

'In the 44th minute, just before the end of the first half, Real Madrid finally equalised.

"This is also an individual play from the star, we saw Hazard force a breakthrough through Alves one-on-one this time, and Yang Yang's kick was just right, and Barcelona only had Alves on the wing."

'Obviously, this is the opportunity that Real Madrid are waiting for and that is the opportunity that Real Madrid have worked so hard to create.

"One-on-one, Alves can't stop Hazard, just like he couldn't stop Yang Yang in the first place."

"Some media broke the news that in the past year or so, Yang Yang has repeatedly instilled in Hazard a lot of ways to deal with Barcelona and Alves, I wonder if the Belgian winger will use it tonight?"

'But in any case, it was crucial for Real Madrid to equalise before the end of the first half.

"Yang Yang's leadership at key moments, and his decisive role in front of goal, are indispensable for Real Madrid."

……

In front of the live camera, the Real Madrid players ended their celebrations and returned to their respective positions.

Yang Yang raised his hands high towards Ancelotti and Zidane in the home team's coach's box on the sidelines, clenched his fists, and looked confident and winning, which made him booed all over the Camp Nou.

How horrific was the boos of nearly 100,000 people?

Those who haven't experienced it really can't understand it, especially when this boo is mixed with abuse and intimidation.

But for Yang Yang, he is used to such an environment, and even he enjoys such boos a little.

Just as when he first debuted, Ibrahimovic pulled him to the sidelines and told him that this was the most beautiful sound in the world.

He's really getting a little caught up in it!

…………

…………

The first half ended 1-1 with the two sides shaking hands.

Barcelona scored the first goal through the genius of the stars, but Yang Yang soon led the Real Madrid players to equalize.

The two sides can be said to be evenly matched, and neither has been able to suppress the opponent.

Carlo Ancelotti was largely happy with the situation in the first half, and at half-time he repeatedly stressed that no one was to blame for the goal conceded and that the players were good enough.

'I hope that in the second half we can maintain the momentum of the first half, keep that rhythm, don't let Barcelona dominate the game at will, we don't play the ball aggressively, but we don't waste chances easily.

Carlo Ancelotti also made a prediction of the situation in the second half, believing that the right thing to do now is to make a fuss in midfield.

'David Silva and Luka Modric are a little bit further back, which is not conducive to our passing after attacking the opponent's 30-metre area, I think we can push forward appropriately, we don't lose to Barcelona, we push forward, then Barcelona can only retreat.'

The situation on the pitch is like a tug-of-war, the two sides come and go, you advance and I retreat.

In the past few years, many people have been summing up the tactics of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the points that have attracted their most attention are the integration of attack and defense in the midfield, the running coverage of the players and the completion rate of tactical execution.

Among them, the latter two points are the easiest to learn, such as Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, it is difficult to say that they have not absorbed the essence of advanced tactical trends from them, and Bayern Munich was able to freeze Real Madrid last season, which also relied on these two points.

It is more difficult to combine attack and defense in the midfield because it demands a lot from the players.

The four-three-three formation seems to stand out from the crowd, but in fact it is a bit high and low, and an extremely important reason is that the requirements for players are very high, except for a few giant teams, other teams can't play at all, because they don't have such high-level players, then they can't afford to play the four-three-three formation.

The integration of attack and defense in the midfield can be said to be a major trend in recent years, starting with Barcelona, technical players such as Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets are acting as defenders and interceptors, and even Pep Guardiola did not hesitate to give up Yaya Toure for Busquets, which was unimaginable before.

Ancelotti came to Real Madrid with a very important purpose of reorganizing the team and building Real Madrid into a more tactically advanced team, so he abandoned Benitez's double midfielder and adopted a more aggressive tactic, with players such as David Silva, Luka Modric, Herrera and Xavi Alonso shining in his hands.

Xavi Martinez was retreated to the back line by Ancelotti, and his performance in the central defender position was amazing, and he was praised by many professionals as a commander-level central defender, which can be seen as Ancelotti transforming Real Madrid.

Real Madrid had lost one game to Barcelona before, but it was just a failed attempt by Carlo Ancelotti.

As the best coach in Europe to learn lessons, Ancelotti has begun to reflect and understand why he lost after losing a game, and tonight's game against Barcelona, his lineup can be said to have basically blocked Barcelona's fierce attack.

Aside from that one time the stars played, Barcelona really didn't have a good chance.

But after a 1-1 equaliser in the first half, the second half became the key to the game.

And the choice he made was to make David Silva and Modric relatively more advanced.

He still wants to attack, he wants to score!

It's also very much in line with Real Madrid's traditions and the wishes of Real Madrid's players.

…………

…………

The start of the second half was a single stroke from Barcelona that ignited the heat and passion of the scene.

It was in the 52nd minute when Alves made a tackle on the right and passed to Andres Iniesta, who sent another long ball directly behind the Real Madrid defence.

When the midfield goes forward, the back line naturally has to follow the forward pressure, and as a result, there is a gap behind him.

Cristiano Ronaldo drove in and Ramos chased him after him, and the two battled for speed, before the Portuguese took the ball faster and formed a one-on-one shot.

But by this time, the angle of his shot was already small, and the angle was completely blocked by Casillas, and the shot was also blocked by Casillas, and then quickly held the ball.

Three minutes later, Carlo Ancelotti made a substitution, replacing Arjen Robben and bringing on Xavi Alonso.

It was the first time the Spanish midfielder had played in more than three months since he was out of action, and not only that, but he also brought Carlo Ancelotti's latest instructions to continue to adopt aggressive tactics and fight Barcelona to the end.

After Xavi Alonso came on the pitch, Real Madrid's formation was somewhat similar to the four-three-two-one formation, with Xavi Alonso, Xavi Martinez and Modric forming the back, Hazard and David Silva in front, and Yang Yang as a single striker.

However, unlike AC Milan's Christmas tree contraction, Real Madrid's tactics were significantly more aggressive and the defence was a little bit higher, which allowed Real Madrid to suppress Barca's midfield and create chances quickly.

After Modric stole Iniesta, David Silva sent a through ball, Yang Yang kicked the goal on the left side of the penalty area, but Valdés flew to save the bottom line, and then Xavi Alonso's corner was also directly picked up by Valdés.

But Real Madrid has gradually overpowered Barcelona on the field.

Especially when the game went on in the 71st minute, Yang Yang suddenly retreated from the front to make a wall, and after receiving a long pass from Xavi Martinez, he stopped to David Silva in front of him, who directly kicked behind him.

Eden Hazard slashed diagonally into the box at high speed to stop the ball before everyone else, but just as the Belgian was about to get up and hit the goal, Pique knocked him down from the side.

The Belgian winger fell into the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty, which made the Real Madrid players extremely dissatisfied, and Hazard shouted at the referee and was shown a yellow card.

The Barcelona fans in the stands were also very dissatisfied with Real Madrid's penalty kick and sent an overwhelming boo.

But Real Madrid had already built momentum, continued to press Barcelona on the pitch, and soon created another chance.
