976 Playing with fire

At 22 o'clock in the evening of December 10, the focus of the 16th round of La Liga, the world-renowned Century Derby will be held at the Bernabeu Stadium, and Real Madrid will host the visiting Barcelona.

In the past two and a half years, Real Madrid has been beating Barcelona, whether in terms of team glory or match results, Real Madrid has the advantage, which makes Barcelona very passive.

At the beginning of the season, the two teams played two Spanish Super Cups, and Real Madrid won the title with one win and one draw, but Barcelona got their first draw in more than two years, which still made all Barcelona fans very excited, and they were all looking forward to this matchup at the Bernabeu.

The last game was a draw, so will this one be able to beat the opponent?

……

Pep Guardiola only came out of the tunnel a moment before the game.

At this time, the players of both teams have already guessed the side, each standing in their own half, Cesc Fabregas and Messi are standing on both sides of the center circle ready to kick off, obviously Barcelona got the serve, which is also a favorable factor for Barcelona.

As long as you start the game and hold on to the ball, the situation will move in Barca's favour.

But Guardiola's face still looks very dignified.

Ancelotti has been standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and when he saw Guardiola coming out, he immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Guardiola with a smile, but this Italian fat man wrapped in a thick black Adidas down jacket made Guardiola not like it, because the old fox's starting tactics surprised Guardiola.

Not three backs, but double backs!

Goalkeeper Casillas, Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and McCone in the back, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso in the back, Kaka in front, Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben occupy the wings.

This is the strongest attacking line-up that Real Madrid have come out of so far, with a star-studded squad.

Pep Guardiola was in the squad an hour before the game, and he was a little surprised, but considering that Kaka had played in the midfield position before, he was still lucky, and I wonder if Ancelotti will let Kaka play in the midfield?

But he doesn't like luck and luck, so he's always uncomfortable.

At this time, seeing the smiling Ancelotti again, Guardiola really had the urge to splash the hot cup of black coffee in his hand on his face, but fortunately he resisted it.

"Damn, I just went to Real Madrid and I learned badly!" Pep Guardiola looked at the back of Carlo Ancelotti as he returned to the home team's dugout, and said indignantly, but quickly turned to the pitch again, put his mind on the pitch, and raised the coffee in his right hand to warm up.

Just then, the referee from Andalusia, David Fernández Bobarán, blew the whistle for the start of the match.

In the middle circle, Cesc Fabregas kicked the ball to Messi, who quickly kicked the ball back and passed it directly to the trailing midfielder Sergio Busquets.

The Real Madrid players rushed forward quickly at the moment of the whistle, and the front trident of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben pressed forward to press, not to mention, even Kaka sprinted forward at the first time, looking very resolute.

This made Pep Guardiola on the sidelines realise that something was not quite right.

It's not a three-back!

And Ancelotti made it clear that he was going to attack in the opening game!

This damn Italian is a cunning old fox as expected!

Before Guardiola could reach his lips with the coffee he was up, Ibrahimovic rushed in as soon as Sergio Busquets stopped the ball, forcing him to opt for a return pass to Puyol.

Ibrahimovic swerved and pounced on Puyol.

Yang Yang on the left was also closing towards Alves at the same time, so Puyol chose to pass the ball back to the middle of the box, at the foot of Pique at the top of the arc, but Puyol passed the ball on the ground.

The advantage of boccia is stability, but the disadvantage is that it is slow.

Ibrahimovic and Robben were like two sharks that smelled blood, and they chased after Pique.

Without thinking, Pique chose to turn and pass back to the goalkeeper, Ibrahimovic did not lose his speed, all the way straight to the penalty area, Robben deliberately lagged behind Ibrahimovic and ambushed Pique.

Valdés is also a smart man, where will pass to Pique and Abidal on the left, immediately passed the ball to Puyol on the right side of the edge of the penalty area, and chose to still play the ball safely.

Yang Yang approached Puyol from the direction of Alves, and Ibrahimovic also turned around and ran towards Puyol, forcing the Barcelona centre-back to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.

At this time, Kaka had followed Busquets back to the 30-meter area of Barcelona, Pique pulled to the right side of the penalty area, and Abidal also appeared on the edge of the right corner of the penalty area, ready to receive Valdés' pass.

Real Madrid's forward press was very decisive and resolute, the front four players all pressed into and outside the box, and what is even worse was that Barcelona chose to play the ball safely from start to finish, rather than trying to send the ball to the front as soon as possible.

Obviously, they all know that as long as they play the ball up front, it is equivalent to giving up the ball.

In the face of Puyol's return pass, Valdés could not choose to use his hands and could only use his feet to stop, but Ibrahimovic turned halfway through the first time and forced back to the goalkeeper, forcing Valdés not to stop the ball, but to choose to pass the ball at the first time.

Pique was close to the baseline, so Valdés chose to pull Abidal on the edge of the left corner of the penalty area, because he glanced at the ball just now, and there were no defenders in that position, so he didn't stop the ball, and directly kicked the ball and passed it to Abidal.

But as soon as the ball was passed, Valdés regretted it, and he realized that he had made a stupid mistake.

Robben's speed was too fast, and the Dutch Wingers suddenly started, rushing quickly from the right side of the arc area to the passing line, but Valdés, like all Barcelona passes just now, was a bocce ball, and was directly intercepted in the middle.

I saw Robben intercept the ball with his left foot, turn around and immediately form a counterattack.

Pique and Abidal also reacted immediately, rushing towards Robben quickly, and Barcelona's defenders were still very quick to react, and when they saw that Ibrahimovic was still near the small penalty area, they immediately chose to press forward.

At this point, as long as Robben passed the ball, Ibrahimovic fell into the offside trap.

So, the Swedish centre-forward raised his hand, but Robben didn't pass the ball because he had a better option.

After intercepting the ball with his left foot, Robben turned around and took a step towards the middle, quickly sent the ball sideways with his left foot, and sent the ball to the left side of the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area, and Yang Yang, who had just forced Puyol, chased up at the fastest speed, and in the face of Robben's pass, he stopped with his right foot to the middle, just stopped the ball past Puyol, and then chased up and pumped with his right foot.

"Real Madrid's chance!"

"Yang Yang directly kicked the door!!"

"The ball is in!!!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”

"In the eighteenth second, just eighteen seconds into the opening, Real Madrid was hit by Yang Yang at the top of the penalty area with a clean right-footed arc ball, which directly hit the upper right corner of the Barcelona goal."

'Valdés made a very stupid mistake and he shouldn't have chosen to pass to Abidal, he should have chosen to pass to the unmarked Pique, but there is no regret medicine now.

After Yang Yang scored, he quickly turned around and rushed out of the field, ran wildly, and slid to his knees under the south stand of the Bernabeu Stadium, and then was immediately surrounded by Real Madrid players.

……

On the side of the pitch, the coffee that Guardiola was holding in his hand had just come to his mouth at this time, and he accidentally took a sip, and the whole person hissed, and his mouth was burned by the hot coffee, coupled with Yang Yang's sudden goal on the field, he was startled, and in a fit of anger, the whole person directly threw the coffee in his hand to the ground.

"What's going on?"

"Huh? How can such a pass occur? ”

Guardiola opened his arms and roared at the pitch with a shocked face that he couldn't understand.

Barcelona are obsessed with possession, but between possession and conceding, anyone knows what to choose.

At that time, so many players, so many foot passes, they should have a choice, but so many people coincidentally chose the worst and worst option, he couldn't understand, really couldn't understand.

Conceded the ball in the opening 18 seconds, how can you play this game?

Pep Guardiola walked back to the visitors' dugout, sat in the corner, and let out a heavy sigh of grievance.

"They were under too much psychological pressure and Real Madrid were too hard in the opening game." Vilanova looked at Guardiola with some reproach in his eyes, because he felt strange from the beginning, why was Guardiola so sure that Ancelotti would not attack?

But it turned out to be good, Ancelotti really attacked, and it was very, very resolute.

After the opening, the entire defense line was pressed directly through the middle line, and the four players in the front court approached the front of the Barcelona penalty area, which is no longer a double back, this is 424.

In this case, four grabbed five, Barcelona was unexpected, and it is normal to be caught off guard and make mistakes.

Of course, the choice of players must be wrong, whether it is Puyol, Pique or Valdés, who has two choices, they are a little blind and do not transfer the crisis out of Barcelona's penalty area in the first place.

It's like playing with fire, only to accidentally get burned on your hands.

Eighteen seconds to concede a goal, this game is not easy to play.

Vilanova looked at Guardiola with a disappointed and frustrated face, and he wanted to say that if you had listened to me, maybe it wouldn't be the way it is now, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it.

No one in the Barcelona squad dared to challenge Pep Guardiola's authority, including Messi.

But as an assistant, Vilanova knew very well that Guardiola's starting tactics had been wrong.

Of course, no one in this world is always right, and it is normal to guess wrong, the key is how to adjust next?

According to Ancelotti's posture, he will definitely not give up until he achieves his goal, and he will definitely not just be willing to score only one goal.
