The game is back!

Barcelona's players returned to half-time, with Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi once again in the centre circle.

But in just over a minute, this is the second time they have stood in the center circle.

Messi looked at Yang Yang not far away, and his heart was full of disbelief, because the goal just now was more like a kind of luck, if it wasn't for Barcelona's own mistakes, it would be impossible to give Real Madrid such a chance.

Of course, Real Madrid's opening press was indeed resolute, but so what?

Barcelona is not without such a situation.

When referee Bobarán blew the whistle again, Cesc Fabregas kicked the ball to Messi again, and Messi quickly turned and passed back, only to see Real Madrid's frontcourt players press forward again.

What's more, these guys are eating marrow!

Scoring a goal and not being satisfied, the same trick and wanting to do it a second time?

Messi was on fire this time and immediately retreated.

Also dropping back was Cesc Fabregas, who also dropped straight back to help the midfield.

The ball was quickly passed through the midfield and back to the backline, and this time Barcelona simply chose to play the ball long and wide to the front, but Ramos was pushed down and the ball was changed to Real Madrid's feet.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Barcelona is a grandmaster and that in front of the master, Real Madrid will definitely not choose to face Barcelona with the ball and the ball, especially at their home stadium.

Therefore, after grabbing the ball, Real Madrid's first choice is to pass through the midfield as soon as possible and pass forward.

Direct pass! Speed!

Real Madrid's strategy is very simple, which is to play fast-paced attack and defense, and do not give Barcelona the opportunity to control the ball slowly and methodically, but the inevitable problem is that the speed is fast, and Real Madrid's passing and receiving errors will increase.

So, after the opening, the game was played at a fast pace, and the ball changed hands frequently between the two teams.

It made the game nice to watch and intense, but not exciting enough, with a lot of mistakes on both sides.

Messi also made a lot of effort in this game, before this game, he was only two goals less than Yang Yang on the scorer list, and he was not willing to lose to Yang Yang again, so he was determined to score goals to help Barcelona equalize and reverse Real Madrid.

In the game, Messi ran more aggressively than before, Cesc Fabregas occupied the middle, and Messi appeared on the right, but he actively retreated, and even often retreated to the midfield to receive and assist in the defense.

In the sixth minute, Messi followed Marcelo back to the middle line, Real Madrid's attack failed, and the midfielder passed back to the backfield to find Ramos.

Messi quickly pounced on Ramos for the first time, but the Real Madrid central defender accidentally slipped his foot when he stopped the ball, did not stop, and Messi seized the opportunity to break the ball and quickly launched a counterattack, all the way to the right side of the penalty area.

Fortunately, Pepe has been stuck on Messi's side, not allowing him to go further, forcing Messi to only shoot with his right foot into the far corner, but he failed to play hard, and was saved by Casillas, changed the direction of the ball, slid the goal and went out of the bottom line, corner kick.

Barcelona's subsequent corner failed to create a threat, but Real Madrid's own mistake was quite bad.

Ramos and Pepe are both brave and brave, but not calm enough, especially Ramos, a mistake like this is not the first time, and it will never be the last, Real Madrid is very clear about this.

Every player on the pitch is a combination of angels and devils, the strengths and weaknesses are obvious, and only top superstars like Yang Yang and Messi can make it possible to maximize their strengths, while constantly improving their flaws and deficiencies, and then improving their overall strength.

For Barcelona's attack just now, Real Madrid was shocked into a cold sweat, but he also quickly retaliated.

Just two minutes later, Real Madrid made a quick run of action and Xavi Alonso distributed the ball down the right.

Robben caught the ball on the right side of the box, McCone cut in along the flank at high speed, received Robben's pass, and sprinted to the bottom line in stride, and crossed in front of the bottom line to the goal.

At the edge of the small penalty area, Ibrahimovic pressed the Barcelona defender to head the goal from close range, but he was caught left and right by Pique and Puyol, and was forced to go to the bottom right corner, which was saved by goalkeeper Valdés.

Real Madrid apparently did not stop there, but continued to put pressure on Barcelona.

The frantic scrambling after the opening kick-off, speeding up the pace of the game, pushed Barcelona into danger again and again, and worried everyone, as if the previous incredible first half was about to be repeated.

In the thirteenth minute, Mascherano tripped Messi with a midfield break, but the referee Bobalan did not signal a foul, which made the Barcelona players a little angry, but Real Madrid did not stop the ball, but instigated a quick counterattack.

Yang Yang drove straight into the ball with the ball, crossed the halfway line, crossed the midfield of Barcelona, and rushed directly to the front of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic pulled to the left side of the penalty area to respond, wanting to play with Yang Yang, and Barcelona's defensive attention was all on this side, but after Yang Yang rushed to the front of the penalty area, he suddenly pulled the ball to the middle, transferred it with one foot, and sent the ball to the feet of Robben on the right side of the front of the penalty area.

As soon as the Dutchman stopped the ball, Abidal quickly rushed from near the penalty spot to block him, but Robben was very flexible, a nimble feint, using his own pace and rhythm, to deceive Abidal, to the middle, cut inside with the ball, and quickly hit a fast and sharp volley with his left foot.

It happened quickly and suddenly, as Valdés had just moved from the left side of the net to the right when Robben's shot came and hit the bottom right corner of the most difficult save.

The Barcelona goalkeeper flew to the side, but this time he couldn't save Robben's volley like Ibrahimovic's shot, and could only watch the ball go into the net, 2-0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"In the thirteenth minute, Robben scored another goal for Real Madrid!"

"A brilliant shot from Dutch flying man Arjen Robben!"

"Yang Yang's assist this time is also very beautiful, the vision is very broad, everyone, including the Barcelona players, thought that he would cooperate with Ibrahimovic, but what I didn't expect was that Yang Yang noticed Robben who was unmarked on the right side in the chaos."

"This is also a routine that Real Madrid has often used in the last two seasons, I force one side of yours to force you to divert your defensive attention, and then suddenly hit your other side, it is said that this is still the Champions League final against Inter Milan, Yang Yang put forward the tactical idea at halftime."

"I have to say that this style of play is very suitable for Real Madrid right now, because they have three of the best wingers in the world, as well as world-class full-backs like Marcelo and McCann."

"The situation is very unfavorable for Barcelona."

……

With a two-goal lead, Real Madrid looked like they were on their way.

The entire Bernabeu Stadium was also in revelry, and many were even expecting a big win.

A fan who doesn't want to bloody Barcelona must not be a qualified Real Madrid fan.

But just after Barcelona opened ten minutes and appeared in the center circle for the third time, Messi became more involved than before, he was almost chasing the ball and running, without a fixed position, and sometimes even retreated to the position of the back midfield.

This ethereal movement made Real Madrid's defenders very passive.

In the nineteenth minute, it was precisely Messi who saw that the backfield was pressed by Real Madrid's front court and could not get the ball, quickly retreated to the back position, raised his hand to ask for the ball from Puyol's feet, turned to get rid of Mascherano, quickly rushed forward with the ball, and struck on the left and right of Kaka and Xavi Alonso, and forced the ball to break through.

Messi rushed across the halfline with the ball in one go, Kaka and Xavi Alonso were sandwiched left and right, chasing after each other, but they never found a chance to get their feet down, and let Messi rush to the 30-meter periphery.

Can't let him rush in anymore!

Xavi Alonso was decisive and made a tackle, even at the cost of a foul.

If a foul is committed in this position, Barcelona is given a long-range free kick, but it is also guaranteed to be carded.

But in order to be able to stop Messi, I can't care about it.

But what he never expected was that Messi reacted faster, took the first step to send a through ball, and sent the ball behind Ramos, Sanchez ran diagonally, grabbed ahead of Pepe, and after catching Messi's pass behind Ramos, he stopped with his right foot, avoided Pepe, and then volleyed vigorously, directly into the lower left corner of the Real Madrid goal.

One to two!

Sanchez was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, and Messi and other Barcelona players also rushed out after him.

With a goal back, they saw hope again.

……

Pep Guardiola was also secretly relieved on the sidelines and walked out of the away team's dugout.

After Real Madrid scored the opening goal just now, he didn't make adjustments, and even when Yang Yang assisted Robben to score the second goal, he still didn't make adjustments, but now, after Barcelona pulled a goal back, he wanted to adjust the formation on the field.

Pep Guardiola called several Barcelona players over, briefly outlined their demands and quickly sent them back to the pitch.

Soon, when the game resumed, everyone was surprised to find that the overall position of the Barcelona players had changed somewhat.

After Real Madrid kicked off, Barcelona's right full-back Alves was in a very high position, and even directly forced in the direction of Marcelo on the left side of Real Madrid, while Puyol's position was on the right.

Is this going to be a back three?

Not again, because soon, when Real Madrid passed the ball through the halfway line, Barcelona's midfielder Sergio Busquets was back in the same position in defence, while Xavi and Andres Iniesta also quickly returned to midfield.

It still looks like it's still a back four, but because of Sergio Busquets, the formation switches back and forth between a back four and a back three, which is clearly Pep Guardiola's masterpiece.

If you want a back three and don't want to give up defending on the wings, the best way is to play a back three when you have the ball on your side and a back four when Real Madrid has the ball, and the key depends on Busquets' position.
