As the clock hand turned to eight o'clock in the evening, the race began in a clamor of hustle and bustle.

It is different from what many professionals expected before the game, after all, this is an important game related to the glory of both sides and the league rankings, in the eyes of many people, the attitude of both sides to the game must be both concerns, no one dares to rashly make the first move, who makes the first move who may reveal more flaws, so that the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, so the test is the established trajectory for a long time.

Since ancient times, the competition has been nameless, and this is the truth.

But in fact, from the moment the whistle blew, the game entered a fast-paced track, and neither side had any temptation, to be exact, Real Madrid did not have any tentative approach, and launched a direct onslaught.

Real Madrid, who won the kick-off, kicked off by Raul, and the football made a transition at the feet of Alonso, and after a few passes, it was suddenly transferred to the right side, Kaka inserted it at high speed, and then successfully completed the bottom cross, C. Ronaldo in the middle sprinted and jumped, successfully grabbed the first point, but his header was high above the crossbar.

Although the shot was a bit outrageous, it still gave the Barcelona defense a certain amount of fright, and Real Madrid came up with a ferocious attacking momentum, which was both unexpected and heart-wrenching.

And this is just the beginning, in the next few minutes, Real Madrid actively ran and pressed in all positions of the field, Barcelona on Real Madrid's tactical play at the beginning of the game was somewhat underestimated, in the opening five or six minutes, but by Real Madrid launched a fast attack, and completed a few threatening shots.

"Real Madrid are mainly anti-visitors, they are showing their attacking ability unscrupulously at the Camp Nou!"

'The Real Madrid players today were exceptionally positive and they were hungry to win this national derby!'

"Coritiano, Cristiano...... The Portuguese are coming up again! Turning around nicely, Alonso's through ball found him and shot from the top of the net...... Whew, what a blessing! Valdés made a world-class save and he saved Barcelona and kept the ball in the back of the net! ”

Real Madrid's frenzied offensive made more than a dozen neutral commentators on the commentary table shout from time to time, and the home commentator was a little ugly: "Real Madrid caught us off guard!" We have to defend well and not give the opponent more opportunities to push and get up. The situation is a bit against us and I think Mr. Josep needs to make some adjustments to the team and Real Madrid seem to be playing with momentum......"

There were also nervous exclamations in the stands from time to time, before the game, the home team fans were full of confidence in the team's victory, but at the moment the danger on the field was a little shaken for their confidence - Real Madrid played so violently, so crazy, Barcelona is still tepid, their team, can they resist?

There is a lot of worry in the hearts of the fans, but Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola's face is not too obvious worry, he stands on the sidelines, constantly yelling at the field, making gestures, signaling the team to take the ball more, control the ball more and pass, try not to lose the ball, slow down the tempo.

Barcelona players also thoroughly implemented the will of the coach, in the face of Real Madrid's stormy offensive, they quickly regained their composure after the first few minutes of panic, and as far as possible with the best short pass to control the ball at their feet, Real Madrid forced to grab very fiercely, but their transmission cooperation is extremely familiar, fast and accurate back and forth back and forth, often let the Real Madrid players pounce just do useless work, the pace of the game slowly slowed down.

Seeing this, Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.

'They want to attack, try to score early, and then switch to counter-attacking.

Assistant coach Villanova stood beside him and voiced his guess based on his observations.

Tito, who used to be the youth coach of La Masia's echelon. Vilanova, who has now also entered the club's first team, can be regarded as a "promotion", of course, also as an assistant coach, previously he was Enrique's assistant, and now, he is assisted by Pep Guardiola. And his former superior and friend Louis Brown. Enrique has left Barcelona and left for the Apennines.

Vilanova is a very low-key coach, whether in the youth team, or now in the first team, he doesn't say much, just do his job with all his heart, for most of the first-team players, they rarely pay attention to such a little-known, and taciturn assistant coach, but Guardiola admires this down-to-earth and hard-working assistant, he thinks Vilanova is a coach with his own ideas, he has a keen observation of the game and adaptability, It's a big potential to be a good manager, but what he's lacking now is the experience and the opportunity to show what he's capable of alone.

Of course, as an assistant, although Vilanova does not talk much, many times his opinions are often to the point, which will bring a lot of inspiration and help to Guardiola, which is why he has promoted the youth team coach who does not have much presence to the first team.

At this time, hearing the assistant's words, Guardiola turned his head and smiled indifferently at him, nodded and said: "Your observation is very incorrect, the opponent is indeed making such a calculation." But Tito, do you know why they did that? ”

Vilanova looked up at Guardiola deeply, and to be honest, he didn't like such a "school exam" general question, which would make him feel like he was a student and the other party was a teacher, when in fact, he was not a student and Guardiola was not his teacher.

But he doesn't like it, he is now an assistant coach in the first team, an assistant to Pep Guardiola, and he can only answer whatever the other party asks.

After a moment of rhetoric, Vilanova said softly: "In the summer, Real Madrid spent a lot of money and bought a lot of players. IMHO, these players are undoubtedly very good, they can score a lot of goals, they can win games in a lot of seemingly impossible situations, they are very strong, and the current league position speaks for that. However, they also have weaknesses. ”

"Their weakness is ...... They just look like a team, but when they can't open up against a difficult or tougher opponent, they can go their separate ways and become a mess. ”

"That's right. Tito, I was not mistaken. Guardiola stroked his palm and laughed, "We have played at the Bernabeu once this season and they have caused us a lot of problems, but the end result is still ours...... Won. I'm not surprised at all by this result, compared to them, we want to be a whole, our passing and control style of play has been extremely familiar and tacit, we have a mature tactical system, mature style of play, we can use what we are best at to control the initiative of the game, and then play them around! ”

"Yes, the current Real Madrid only looks strong on the outside, but they have not formed their own style, which is still a big gap with us who have insisted on tactics and playing styles for more than ten years."

Vilanova nodded in agreement, since the disintegration of the Galaxy battleship, Real Madrid has fallen into a period of turmoil, although Real Madrid has spent a lot of money in recent years, especially in the summer, to introduce so many outstanding stars, but they are still in the process of exploring their own style and suitable for their own tactical play, which is not half a star worse than Barcelona that has fully matured tactical play and has blossomed.

It stands to reason that Barcelona gradually took over the game and eventually won the game, which seemed to be a matter of course.

"Just, will it be that easy?"

Villanova suddenly whispered in an imperceptible whisper, but his eyes were fixed on the field, at the familiar and unfamiliar figure.

Will his and Enrique's proudest disciple be so easy for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid, or rather, to beat him?

……

The game is still in full swing, after Barcelona stabilized its position, the pace of the game has gradually slowed down, Real Madrid's successive waves of turbulent attacks failed to achieve the expected results, coupled with Barcelona's firm control of the ball, Real Madrid can only temporarily "quiet" down.

Pellegrini's face was full of emotion, but he sighed in pity.

The attacking tactics were indeed a tactic that he and the coaching staff had worked out early on.

What Guardiola and Vilanova can see, as the head coach of Real Madrid, he has been leading the team for more than half a season, so he can naturally see it.

He has no doubts about the strength of his team, and now Real Madrid's constituent players are outstanding stars in all positions, and their ability is beyond doubt.

But having the ability is one thing, and whether or not this strength can be completely transformed into combat effectiveness depends on two words.

Pellegrini knows very well that the current Real Madrid has not fully reached a peak, they seem to be very strong, and they are indeed strong, but that is only relatively speaking, against ordinary teams, OK is no problem, Real Madrid stars can use a crushing posture to beat the opponent into scum.

But in the face of a strong team with similar strength and more mature and systematic tactical play, then the problem is big.

The strength of the opponent is not inferior to itself, and there are many stars, more like a whole than them, and in the stalemate, Real Madrid will inevitably fall into the disadvantage.

The reason is simple, there is still too little time, and the team has not yet fully kneaded into shape.

Take the opponent of this game, Barcelona, for example, the Dream Three Dynasty is now in the limelight in European football, why? Because their tactical system and playing style have been fully matured, this kind of continuous transmission and tacit cooperation make the whole team like an arm, without the slightest sense of sluggishness, like a cloud of peers.

There is strength, there are stars, there is the whole, this is a real team, they don't produce results, that's a strange thing.

Villarreal, where Pellegrini once coached, has such a shadow, but Real Madrid absolutely does not. Because the building of this kind of mature team is not an overnight thing, he needs a long time of running-in and precipitation.

Dream Three Dynasty is the result of Barcelona's perseverance for more than ten years.

This is something that the current Real Madrid does not have at all.
