848 Time is running out for Barcelona!
As soon as the whistle blew for the start of the second half, the Barcelona players realized that something was wrong.
Real Madrid, who had been cowering in the back throughout the first half and refused to come forward easily, suddenly pressed hard.
And it's not just the spontaneous behavior of one or two players, it's a purposeful and unified action of the whole team.
When the Real Madrid backline pressed together, the back three stepped forward and immediately suppressed Barcelona's midfield.
This sudden change caught Barcelona off guard.
Soon, Barcelona made a mistake in passing and receiving the ball, and Las Diarra broke the ball, brought it forward himself, and distributed it to the right side of the penalty area.
After Ibrahimovic received the ball, he forced a break through Pique and picked up a pass into the middle of the box.
Yang Yang quickly cut diagonally into the box, but couldn't get to the ground under the left and right strikes of Puyol and Gabriel Milito, and the ball was picked up by Valdés, missing a very good opportunity.
But in less than three minutes, Sneijder made a straight shot from midfield, and Ibrahimovic pushed a shot from inside the box, which was blocked by Valdés.
Real Madrid's two successive attacks, although they failed to work, but they did a good job of suppressing Barcelona's momentum.
Barcelona are welcome for Real Madrid to take the initiative.
To a certain extent, they are not afraid of Real Madrid's attack, but the style of play like the first half is their biggest headache, so in the face of Real Madrid, who took the initiative, Barcelona did not back down and resolutely fought back.
Soon, Busquets made a pass, Messi received the ball and got up directly, suddenly hit a cold arrow, hit very suddenly, and was saved by Casillas, and then Pedro took a corner, Pique grabbed the first spot, but the header was slightly high.
Barcelona's two attacks were equally threatening.
In the second half, the situation turned around, no one expected that Real Madrid would suddenly attack, coupled with Barcelona's needle-tip counterattack on Maimang, which suddenly made the game exciting, and the two teams changed hands frequently, and the fans on the scene were shocked again and again.
Pep Guardiola looked a little excited on the sidelines.
The Barcelona coach knows very well that this rhythm is not the most familiar to Barcelona, and there are too many mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, which is very bad for Barcelona, and they are better at controlling the ball and patiently looking for opportunities.
But in the second half, under the initiative of Real Madrid, coupled with the fact that the team was behind, the Barcelona players were a little anxious to equalize, so they naturally lost their rhythm and slowly followed the rhythm of Real Madrid's game.
Pep Guardiola walked to the sidelines on several occasions and signalled Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets to slow down the pace of the game and control it in the most comfortable state at Barcelona, but it still didn't seem to work.
Real Madrid's attack in the second half is a bit like punching the master to death, anyway, I can't control the ball and play you, so I will directly muddy your rhythm first, and see who is more beneficial to the end.
……
"It can't go on like this!" Guardiola shook his head and walked back.
In a football match, the tactics of the opposing sides are a bit like psychological warfare, and they are both pondering the psychology of the other side.
Barcelona's favourite was undoubtedly the rhythm of the first half, and despite falling behind, the long period of possession always wore down the patience of the Real Madrid players, which led to mistakes.
In fact, Pep Guardiola has already made some adjustments, especially against Las Diarra.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Benitez came up in the second half, he directly rushed to attack, speeding up the pace of the game, disrupting Barcelona's arrangement, and making Guardiola's halftime arrangement unable to play a role.
Thinking of this, Guardiola turned his head and glanced at Benitez in front of the home team's coach's box, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
When it comes to techniques and tactics, or on-the-spot command and adjustment, Benitez has nothing to say, and he can be called a master.
Pep Guardiola has been bumping into Benitez several times, but has not been able to take advantage of him, which has to be said to be a very painful thing.
"Do you want to make a substitution?" Villanova asked.
Pep Guardiola turned his head and glanced at the bench, and the seven players on the bench also noticed his eyes, each with a hint of anticipation in their eyes, and they all wanted to play.
But Pep Guardiola quickly turned his head again and shook his head.
At this time, he really didn't know where to start.
Defending with Yaya Toure or Seydoux Keita will increase the team's midfield passing error rate.
Seydoux Keita was a regular in the first derby of the century and the result goes without saying.
The reason why Guardiola trusts Busquets is not because Busquets is better than Teaya Toure, but because the former is more stable, has better passing and receiving ability, and is more in line with Barcelona's style of play.
On the contrary, Yaya Toure is very fierce, but he is a little reckless and reckless, especially he likes to plug in the back row, which is not what Barcelona and Pep Guardiola want to see.
Just when Pep Guardiola was struggling with how to adjust, the situation on the pitch suddenly changed.
……
The ball changed hands frequently between the two sides, resulting in a lot of mistakes in each other's passing and receiving balls.
Real Madrid's back three defended more solidly, resulting in more counter-attacking opportunities for the team.
In the 55th minute, Barcelona made an attack and distributed the ball to the right and gave it to Alves near the halfway line.
The Brazilian right wing-back took the ball directly to Maxwell and tried to force his way through, but Vermaelen suddenly stepped up and intercepted the ball in time.
As soon as the Belgian centre-back grabbed the ball, he glanced ahead and sent a long pass directly with his left foot.
The ball flew quickly across the halfway line and into Barcelona's 30-metre area and landed directly into the penalty area.
Yang Yang's reaction speed was very fast, almost the moment Fermaelen was ready to pass, he had already realized the opportunity, and decisively turned around and quickly started to cut forward.
Puyol and Milito chased Yang Yang's side left and right, and even in the process of sprinting, Puyol also pulled Yang Yang's jersey, but Yang Yang broke free.
All the Real Madrid fans in the stadium suddenly became nervous and let out exclamations in unison.
The three of them rushed into the penalty area at the same time, and they all rushed to the point where the pass landed.
Yang Yang looked like he had no chance under the bag of the two central defenders, but he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly took the lead, and the whole person jumped high and picked up his right foot first.
The sudden change startled both Puyol and Milito, and neither dared to make a move.
This is a big penalty area, and if they move Yang Yang, they may be awarded a penalty at any time.
The ball touched the instep of Yang Yang's right foot, and the feeling was extremely clear.
It's a feeling that comes from years of relentless basic training, and Yang Yang can even feel the trajectory of the ball bouncing off the instep of his foot very clearly.
As soon as he landed, Yang Yang pushed up with his chest, pushed the ball forward to his body, and accelerated to catch up.
This kind of mid-air stopping is quite a test of skill, but Yang Yang handled this long-distance stopping of the ball to almost no gaps, which made Puyol and Milito unable to start during the whole process, and could only watch Yang Yang stop the ball.
But the two Barcelona central defenders are not vegetarians, and seeing that Yang Yang wants to be the bottom line, the two also quickly chased after them.
But when Yang Yang caught up with the ball, he first made a gesture to hit the goal directly, and then suddenly made a sudden stop and dunked the ball back.
Puyol and Milito responded passively in this sudden acceleration and emergency stop, and some couldn't contain the momentum, especially Milito, the whole person rushed over, although blocking the distance between Yang Yang and the goal, but also exposing the gap behind him.
After Yang Yang stopped and smashed the ball, he pushed with his right foot.
The ball rolled over the turf behind Milito, not fast, but no one had time to stop it.
Puyol was blocked by Yang Yang, Milito had already rushed over his head and Pique was pushed out of position by Ibrahimovic.
The ball wasn't fast, but no one had time to stop it.
Ibrahimovic followed up and fired a shot straight into the bottom right corner of the Barcelona goal.
In an instant, the whole stadium was boiling!
All the Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats at that moment, cheering frantically and shouting Yang Yang's name hoarsely!
Although the hero of the goal was Ibrahimovic, Yang Yang's stop and subsequent handling were all amazing and breathtaking!
All the Real Madrid fans shouted for him like crazy, and Ibrahimovic was the first to rush towards Yang Yang, and the two rushed to the bottom of the stadium stands side by side, dancing to celebrate the crucial goal.
"Two to zero!"
"Real Madrid's opening attack in the second half was very effective and very sudden.
"Of course, Benitez's tactics can work, and Yang Yang can be said to have contributed a lot."
"Let's revisit it and see how it came this time."
"Fermaelen and Yang Yang have a very tacit understanding, this long pass is very good, and Yang Yang's subsequent treatment, you can take a closer look, he jumped in advance, intercepted the ball directly in mid-air, and then stopped the ball with his chest."
"It can be said that the whole process of scoring goals, Yang Yang handled it quite well, cleanly, and very imaginatively, Puyol and Milito obviously did not dare to foul in the big penalty area, which gave Yang Yang a certain amount of space."
"This is the world's top superstar!"
"At the critical moment, Yang Yang's stop can be said to be breathtaking."
'Of course, Ibrahimovic's shot was also very well on goal, calmly seizing the opportunity created by his friend and extending the lead for Real Madrid.
"Two to zero! The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Barcelona. ”
"Pep Guardiola can't help but make substitutions."
"We saw that the youngster Bojan has started to warm up and is ready to be substituted."
"In this case, the replacement of Bojan is definitely to further strengthen the team's frontcourt attack."
'There are more than 30 minutes left in the game, the challenge of recovering two goals is daunting, and time is running out for Barcelona.
