Under Capello's nervous gaze, a dramatic scene suddenly appeared on the field.

Barcelona poured the ball to the back and passed it back to Valdés. Van Nistelrooy immediately stepped forward to press, Valdés looked a little flustered, and in a hurry, he kicked the ball off the road and the ball flew crookedly towards the baseline.

Zambrotta immediately went to the rescue and finally saved the ball before it flew off the line.

But suddenly there was a huge cry at the Bernabeu! A figure in the white No. 10 jersey approached him quickly, and before Zambrotta could turn around, the figure hooked the ball back, slid it in the direction of goal, and then lifted his leg to shoot.

Valdés made a save, but the ball arced wide, went around his fingertips and flew into the corner of the net.

The audience was in an uproar, and the flags were displayed!

"Ricardo Goal !!!!!" The commentator seemed to have unlimited lung capacity, and shouted in a lengthened voice, "In such a crucial game, Licardo scored twice in the first half!" He seized Barcelona's mistake and helped Real Madrid extend the score with a beautiful arc! ”

Most of the more than 8,000 Barcelona fans in the stadium covered their faces with their hands, unable to believe that their team would lose points because of such a low-level mistake.

Real Madrid fans are all elated, and they like to watch the embarrassed appearance of their sworn enemies.

"In the 34th minute of the game, Real Madrid led 2-0 at home!" The commentator lamented, "This score really doesn't reflect what is on the field. Barcelona had 71 per cent possession and a 90 per cent pass completion rate, almost completely overpowering Real Madrid on the pitch. They created a number of good chances, but they didn't play well today. ”

Capello smiled and applauded Ricardo's goal before sitting back in the dugout. He looked at Rijkaard, who looked gloomy on the other side, and thought lightly: What other tricks do you have now?

Rijkaard didn't make any immediate changes to his team.

In his opinion, the team's backwardness is entirely due to mentality and luck, not tactical weakness.

Although there was not much time left in the first half, he believed there was every chance that his team would pull a goal back and it would not be too late to adjust when we entered the second half.

He is still very confident in Barcelona's attacking power.

Although Gudjohnsen is not a sharp knife, he can play for Ronaldinho and Messi behind him.

Ronaldinho Needless to say, Ballon d'Or winner, there is no doubt about his attacking ability.

As for Messi, despite his young age and small stature, Rijkaard believes that he will one day amaze the whole world.

And Deco and Iniesta, the old and young, are also players who have both organizational and offensive skills.

Coupled with Xavi's brilliant midfield playmaking, Rijkaard doesn't believe there is any team in the world that can keep a clean sheet against this Barcelona team.

Real Madrid's attacking prowess is excellent due to the fact that they have some of the best strikers in the world; Barcelona, on the other hand, are no slouch in attack because they have the best team and a good combination.

Soon after the restart, Barcelona unleashed an attack that satisfied Rijkaard. Xavi's delicate through ball delivered the ball to Messi's feet, but Messi didn't move, using the tilt of his body to shake a little space and pick the ball up to Ronaldinho in the box.

Ronaldinho didn't wait for the ball to land, directly headed the ball, and sent the ball to the empty space, Messi inserted the ball and entered the danger area. Robert. Carlos was also bold enough to tackle in the box, but he didn't touch the ball or anyone, and Messi showed first-class skill, picking up the ball and then volleying it directly.

The ball bounced off Casillas and Messi sprinted to chase it up, saved it in front of the baseline and crossed it to the penalty spot, but Deco wasted the chance and fired an anti-aircraft shot on target.

Rijkaard couldn't help but choke. This attack was impeccable in every aspect except for the lack of goals.

In the 38th minute, it was Messi again, who continued to dribble and shake, and after attracting the attention of three defenders, he suddenly slanted the ball into the air. Carlos blocked.

The closest Barcelona came to scoring came in the 42nd minute, when Licardo fouled Messi after returning to defend and Ronaldinho took a free-kick that went around the wall, but the arc was not big enough to spin into the goal, but slightly off the post.

"During this period, Barcelona's possession rate has decreased due to Real Madrid's increase in the backfield, and now they have 67% possession," the commentator judged the game situation, "but it can be seen from the field that Barcelona still have an absolute advantage, but they have been scoreless, and now the score is still Real Madrid's two-goal lead." ”

'Barcelona's goal needs to be improved, they created so many chances and only had two of their nine shots on target. Real Madrid, on the other hand, were much more efficient, with five shots on goal, four on target, and two goals. ”

'Rijkaard has to figure out something, it's rare for Barcelona to be scoreless, and he has to figure out what's going on in the team.

What can Rijkaard do? He's also helpless. He couldn't play on his own.

In the middle of Real Madrid's backfield, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

In the away team's dressing room, the atmosphere was as solemn as in a coffin. The players didn't talk to each other, some hung their heads, some looked at Rijkaard with hopeful eyes.

Rijkaard spoke slowly: "I admit, I made a mistake. Despite already knowing that Ricardo is Real Madrid's most dangerous player, I still underestimated him and didn't give him enough attention. ”

'In the second half, I wanted you to concentrate more and not give them another chance. Kars, Licardo will be handed over to you," Rijkaard looked at Puyol with a trusting gaze, "tell me, can you freeze him?" ”

Puyol didn't speak, just nodded with a serious expression. He knew the task was daunting.

The best defenders in the world, Thuram, Cannavaro and Maldini have all tried to freeze Ricardo, but rarely succeeded.

Puyol was not confident that he would be able to complete the task.

'We didn't play badly, we created a lot of chances but we didn't take them for various reasons. I hope you can improve in the second half, otherwise I will give the other players a chance," Rijkaard said, "In the second half, we played like this......
