957 Barça's crisis
In the 29th minute, Barcelona made a quick attack through the midfield and sent the ball directly to the right side of the field.
Barca's intention was clear, to play directly into the gap left by Marcelo's forward assist.
But as soon as Sanchez received the ball, Javi Martinez appeared on the side of the Chilean winger for the first time, blocking Sanchez with his body, forcing him to stop the ball and unable to turn around.
At this time, Messi suddenly appeared on the right side to pick up Sanchez.
The Chilean winger turned his back to the direction of the attack, took a step back, and suddenly flicked the ball behind him, trying to dial Messi, so that Messi could take the ball directly into Real Madrid's defense, but his intention was guessed by Javi Martinez.
Martinez intercepted the ball in time, allowing Messi's quick forward to run straight into the air, and after intercepting the ball, Martinez quickly passed the ball forward.
Marcelo, who had returned to the defense all the way, also reacted immediately, quickly stopped and turned around, chased the ball again, and sent it forward directly.
Real Madrid launched a quick counter-attack.
Yang Yang started very quickly and quickly chased straight away.
Alves also stepped forward when he counterattacked just now, wanting to support Sanchez, but the ball was suddenly broken in the front court, and Real Madrid played a quick counterattack, and the Brazilian right fullback was a little unexpected and couldn't catch up with Yang Yang at all.
Pique immediately pulled to the left side to mark Yang Yang, and the two met in the left corner of the penalty area.
After Yang Yang caught up with the ball, he directly smashed the ball, slashed diagonally to the penalty area, faced Pique, continuous shaking and feints, first made a gesture to cut inward, but suddenly buckled it to the bottom line, and when Pique reacted, he suddenly buckled it back again.
The whole body movement is very flexible, the action rate is very fast, Pique didn't have time to react at all, he was directly dangled by Yang Yang, and was so frightened that he went straight to the bottom line, but Yang Yang buckled it back.
This buckle directly deducted Pique.
Abidal has been defending behind Pique, paying attention to Yang Yang's movements, when Pique pounced on the bottom line, the experienced French defender immediately paid attention to Yang Yang's inward cut, and when he saw Yang Yang dunk Pique, he pounced on it as soon as possible.
But no matter how fast Abidal is, he will still be one step slower than Yang Yang after all.
Without waiting for the French defender to get closer, Yang Yang took the lead and poked the ball forward.
The ball slid past Abidal and into the unguarded area to the right of the penalty spot.
Ibrahimovic seemed to be like a heavy tank at this time, no matter how Thiago pulled and tried desperately to block, he couldn't stop Ibrahimovic from rampage into Barcelona's penalty area, facing the wonderful pass sent by Yang Yang, and directly volleyed the ball into the bottom of the net.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"Three to zero!"
"Oh my God, it's unbelievable!"
"In less than half an hour of the opening period, Real Madrid took a 3-0 lead."
'We knew before the game that Barça's recent form was not ideal, but we would never have imagined that Barça's form would be so bad tonight, with Real Madrid opening the game with a three-goal lead.
"Incredible, incredible."
'If Barcelona haven't even woken up in a hurry, tonight at the Bernabeu they have a good chance of repeating the 0-5 defeat they made two years ago, and maybe even create an even more embarrassing scoreline.'
After Ibrahimovic scored, he rushed out of the stadium excitedly, all the way to the bottom of the stands of Real Madrid fans, shouting at the fans in the stands.
Soon, he felt a sinking on his back, and Yang Yang jumped on top of him from behind, straightened up, and shouted at the fans.
Real Madrid's players also chased after each other, and they all surrounded the two in disbelief.
It was a game that went so well tonight.
It can even be said that from the very beginning of the game, the rhythm was completely controlled by Real Madrid, and Barcelona was completely out of shape.
With a 3-0 lead in half an hour, what would happen if the game continued like this?
Can we beat Barcelona again?
"The defeat is like a mountain, and now Guardiola should come up with an effective adjustment strategy as soon as possible."
"We can understand that he wants to use Thiago, who is in better form, to strengthen the team's midfield control, but it is clear that Thiago's defense has a soft underbelly, coupled with Real Madrid's strong attack on the left side, Yang Yang's side of the attack is very active, Alves has to put all his energy into defense."
"It's like just now, let's look at the slow-motion replay."
"Barcelona counterattacked, but it didn't work, Javi Martinez's position was stuck in time, and the defense of Sanchez was also successful, Sanchez's cooperation with Messi did not work, but was broken by Martinez and quickly passed to Marcelo."
"You can take a look, after Marcelo received the ball, he directly saw the holes in the Barcelona defense, and Alves was directly caught by Real Madrid in the space behind him when he stepped forward one of the very few, and directly played a counterattack."
"It was only at the critical moment that the strength of the top superstar could be seen, Yang Yang grasped the opportunity steadily, he judged the situation very clearly, and did not force himself, but used his personal ability to attract the attention of the defense."
"Look at his impact with the ball this time, facing the defense of Pique and Abidal alone, feints, changing speeds and directions, these are Yang Yang's forte, the movements are very elegant, Pique and Abidal were played by him, and finally the wonderful pass assisted Ibrahimovic to score."
"It can be said that Real Madrid's quick counterattack, starting from Javi Martinez, Yang Yang's handling is the key, and Ibrahimovic's final goal is the icing on the cake, which is very beautifully completed, and it can also reflect an important change in Real Madrid after Ancelotti took charge."
"It's three to zero, and the result is quite bad for Barça."
"And, according to our current statistics, Real Madrid's possession rate in the first 30 minutes was close to 60%, surpassing Barcelona, which has to be said to be quite a surprise."
"You know, even if Barcelona lost in the past, they would have been able to have an advantage in possession, but tonight at the Bernabeu, they not only conceded three goals in a row, but also fell behind the opponent in possession, which is the most terrible crisis."
…………
…………
With Real Madrid scoring three goals in a row, Barcelona was also completely cornered.
But sometimes, the more nowhere to go, the more it can stimulate the team's fighting spirit and unify the players' thinking.
That's what Barcelona is all about.
After conceding three goals in a row, they had no way back, but instead they calmed down, calmed down, slowed down the tempo, and began to control the ball patiently and methodically.
From the 30th minute of the game, the pace of the game was completely different from the previous one.
Everyone is well aware that this is the real Barça.
And Real Madrid, after scoring three goals in a row, is also clearly aware of Barcelona's awakening, and is no longer as aggressive as it was at the beginning.
Messi was more active up front, pulling wide and dropping back, receiving passes from both wings and midfield.
He knows very well that Real Madrid's focus is on pressing Barcelona's midfield, and he has to come back to have a chance, even deeper than before.
The midfield position has always been Real Madrid's weakness, since Messi's debut, every time Barcelona meets Real Madrid, they are basically playing in this position, because they know very well that the distance between Real Madrid's back line and midfield is not compact, and there is a lack of a strong midfielder to make up for this area.
So, both Messi and Ronaldinho like to receive the ball in this area, and Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets are also very good at passing the ball to this area and giving them opportunities to create.
But with the arrival of Benitez, with the addition of Mascherano and Xavi Alonso, this area has been filled, especially last season, the arrival of Xavi Martinez has made Real Madrid more powerful in this area.
It was as if Mascherano didn't play today, but Javi Martinez played very well in a deep position, and Messi didn't have many opportunities to get the ball in the area between midfield and defence, forcing him to drop back a little deeper.
But Messi is still not discouraged, he is still looking for opportunities.
Because his opponent Yang Yang scored a brace and assisted Ibrahimovic's goal, he had to give some response, otherwise, even he would look down on himself.
But on the pitch, Real Madrid still frequently created chances.
Especially in the 36th minute, Ibrahimovic received a cross from Robben's right side, and then distributed it to Yang Yang, Yang Yang stopped with his left foot, and hit a long shot directly from the edge of the penalty area with his right foot, straight to the goal.
Valdés flew to the side and saved the shot from the bottom line at the critical moment, which was able to resolve the crisis, but everyone knew that Real Madrid's offensive was too fierce.
Then Real Madrid was still creating chances, Barcelona controlled the rhythm and the ball, but never found an effective way to break through the opponent's defensive position, and all the Barcelona players suddenly realized that Ancelotti was an Italian coach, and his defensive skills were not lost to Benitez.
Many people think that Carlo Ancelotti is a good gentleman, good at watching people put food on the plate, but they don't know that this in itself means that he has excellent tactical skills, and the teams he has coached have always been quite good defensively.
However, even so, the Barcelona players will not give up easily, and Messi is constantly expanding his activity area, patiently looking for opportunities.
There is a saying that no matter how strong the defense is, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.
In the final moments of stoppage time in the first half, I don't know if it was a distraction or other reasons, Real Madrid's defense made a mistake in coordination.
Messi received Xavi's pass and knocked it back to Xavi, Xavi picked up the pass to find Sanchez, and the Chilean winger took the first step, headed the ball and headed it in front of Messi.
Xavi Martinez and Pepe made a mistake in judgment when intercepting, and Pepe's clearance hit Martinez, but the clearance was not successful, but gave Messi a chance.
Subsequently, Messi drove straight into the ball and calmly pushed the goal in the penalty area, 1-3.
Barcelona finally pulled a goal back just before the end of the first half.
