Rome could not have been built in a day.

Real Madrid wants to reach the level of tacit understanding like Barcelona, and it doesn't take a few years to think about it.

From the point of view of the strength of the card, the current staffing of Real Madrid is not inferior to Barcelona, but in terms of soft power, Real Madrid is much inferior.

The most important point is that compared with Barcelona, the current Real Madrid does not have its own style of football.

Don't underestimate the invisible thing of style, but it is like a label, a team has such a label, it is like having the spiritual will to fight for it, just like Barcelona, they are good at passing and controlling, so on the field is to concentrate on the backward foot pass, using the pass to constantly pull the opponent's defense, tearing the opponent's defense line to pieces, and then a fatal blow.

As for Real Madrid, in addition to having many stars, they don't seem to have a commendable and "guarded" temperament.

When Manuel Pellegrini took over, he brought with him the philosophy he had at Villarreal, and he wanted to build Real Madrid into a team with excellent passing, but it doesn't seem to be working out well.

The technical and tactical ability of the Real Madrid players and the work at their feet are outstanding, but in terms of passing and receiving cooperation, there is always a little bit of meaning, think about it, whether it is C. Ronaldo, or Kaka, or Raul, Benzema, etc., none of these players are big-name stars, and this group of people has not been training together for many years, and it is impossible to make them like submarine players, all of them are paying for their teammates, and all of them are quick to receive and pass the ball.

In charge of a small club, Pellegrini can use his own wrists to suppress all the players in the entire club, but in charge of a big club like Real Madrid, these superstars will obediently "obey", that is a strange thing.

The line of pass-and-control play does not work, and Pellegrini has not thought about the idea of defensive counterattack. But this idea was quickly destroyed by him, although in his opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Van Bizhuang and other players have outstanding individual ability and are not slow, which is suitable for this type of counter-attacking style of play, but in fact, this style of play will not be accepted by the entire club, from the board to the players, to the fans.

Real Madrid has always prided itself as a representative of "noble football", and has no regard for defensive counter-attacking football, when Capello led the team to win the league championship when he entered the palace twice to take charge of Real Madrid, but in the end he was kicked away mercilessly, the reason is that his football philosophy is too ugly to be accepted by the board and fans.

If Manuel Pellegrini doesn't want to be a short-term passer-by in the Real Madrid manager's position, he'd better not challenge the club's bottom line – Real Madrid can only play good football, defensively, what is that? No one can accept it!

This is where Pellegrini scratches his head helplessly, beautiful football, the current Real Madrid is not ten years ago, it is unrealistic to want to do this in a short period of time - if you only pursue beautiful scenes, not the result, Pellegrini can do it, but obviously this is not Real Madrid's style, and it is necessary to look good and win the result, this is the concept of Real Madrid.

And what about defensive football, Real Madrid does not accept it!

Left and right, Pellegrini only thinks that Real Madrid is a group of difficult uncles from top to bottom, which makes him have a headache all day long.

But a sore head is a sore head, and since he has sat in this position, the Chilean coach can only continue to find ways to constantly test the tactical play style suitable for Real Madrid. It's just that so far, although Real Madrid has been smooth sailing in the league, it still hasn't formed an effective tactical system.

Pellegrini is well aware of this weakness, so in this game, he made a tactical arrangement for a strong attack. What he wants is to use the surprise onslaught, try to suppress the opponent, score as soon as possible, as long as there is an advantage in hand, then the next game is much better, you can attack, you can retreat, no matter which choice, there is a lot of leeway.

But unfortunately, although Real Madrid played very resolutely in the opening ten minutes and created a lot of chances, Barcelona's defense was very tight, and the reaction was also very fast, after the adjustment, they realized Real Madrid's intentions, so they purposefully passed the football back and forth, and the rhythm was slowed down.

Real Madrid's "sneak attack" failed, so they had no choice but to retreat and turn to positional warfare.

It can be said that Pellegrini's attacking tactics have failed so far.

And playing a positional battle with Barcelona is undoubtedly very bad for Real Madrid.

To be honest, Pellegrini feels that Barcelona's passing and possession style of play is really "disgusting", it seems that the speed is not fast, the pace is slow, but their passing does not stop for a moment, always back and forth, back and forth, Real Madrid players can not relax for a moment, because as long as they don't pay attention, there are Barcelona players who run into the vacancy, and then the football will be immediately passed to the most uncomfortable position.

It's a mental oppression, and it's not a small pressure on the body.

At this moment, although Real Madrid is still aggressive and ferocious, there is a feeling of being led by the opponent's nose, Pellegrini is very worried, maybe when, his team is careless, and the opponent's pass will tear a hole, thus causing a fatal threat.

It is impossible for his players to maintain a high mental and physical load for a long time, and if they are negligent, Barcelona will deal a heavy blow to Real Madrid.

Grab and can't grab it, attack and can't attack, this is the most unbearable feeling.

And as the game went on, so did the threat created by Barcelona's pass-and-control play.

In the 31st minute, Xavi handed the ball to the side again, Iniesta rushed to receive the ball, and Ramos rushed forward. However, this time, Iniesta did not quickly transfer the ball away, but as if he had a long eye in the back of his head, he knocked the ball with his heel, and the football bypassed Ramos, and Iniesta also quickly completed the turn and easily deceived Ramos.

Andres Iniesta then drove straight into the middle and shot straight at goal, but the ball was saved by Casillas.

Two minutes later, it was Andres Iniesta who took the ball forward and David was the next player. Villa's quick set-up, the former did not hesitate to pass the ball, Villa went to the top of the penalty area, raised his foot to shoot, the ball slightly off the post.

Soon, Xavi also completed a penetrating hidden through ball in the middle, and the football caused chaos in the box, Messi fought out of the chaos, fell to the ground, and the ball hit the post and bounced off the touchline.

"Real Madrid did a good job of pressing, but Barcelona's passing was fast and accurate, and they were like walking monkeys in training, and they played Real Madrid around!"

"The passing in the calm contains murderous intentions, and Barcelona's offensive gradually prevails!"

"That's the style of Barcelona football, it seems to be a casual backward pass, but if there is the slightest negligence on the part of the defenders, they will pass the football to the weakest part of the defence, thus creating a great threat!"

'As we entered the final stages of the first half, the fitness of the Real Madrid players had dropped, and this was a good opportunity for Barcelona to tear apart the opposition's defence. Real Madrid have to be careful, Barcelona at this time is undoubtedly extremely terrifying! ”

The discussion on the commentary bench naturally could not reach Pellegrini's ears, but he also knew through observation that the situation was very unfavorable for his team, and Pellegrini waved and shouted from the sidelines, signaling his players to cheer up, and asked the players in the midfield to recycle a little bit to help and protect the backline.

Pellegrini's instructions are very targeted, and the Real Madrid players on the field are also gritting their teeth and continuing to run and scramble, creating trouble for Barcelona's passing and attack, but it will still come, when the physical strength of the Real Madrid players declines significantly, their running ability will naturally decline, and Barcelona seized such an opportunity and scored a goal.

In the 39th minute, Real Madrid, who were suppressed, finally got a chance to breathe, and returned to the midfield near Van Bizhuang to receive Lass. Diarra's ball, but did not move forward quickly, but unhurriedly controlled the ball, dangling on the side, he also saw the huge pressure that the team was facing at this time, so he was not in a hurry to counterattack, but wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to control the ball, delay a little longer, and give his teammates some opportunities to breathe.

C. Ronaldo raised his hand in front of him to ask for the ball, he ran out of space on the right side of the diagonal side, Fan Bizhuang hesitated, and finally passed the ball away.

The football landed very accurately in front of C. Ronaldo, C. Ronaldo stopped the ball and was about to rush forward with the ball, but he didn't expect that Busquets had already been waiting on the sidelines, and C. Ronaldo's breakthrough in a hurry was unsuccessful, and Busquets successfully cut off the ball.

Barcelona's counterattack unfolded on the spot, fast and fast!

Busquets passed the ball to Xavi in front of him without any hesitation, Xavi just smoothed the ball without stopping, and the football reached the feet of Villa on the left side outside the Real Madrid penalty area.

1:0！

In the 40th minute of the first half, Barcelona's quick pass counterattack, scored by Messi, and successfully took a one-goal lead at home!

At the end of the first half, the opponent suddenly scored a goal, and this was originally a counterattack opportunity for his own side before the goal, but in the blink of an eye, the opponent used a counterattack to break through his goal, which was a big blow to the morale of Real Madrid players.

Pellegrini waved his hand in annoyance, both annoyed and helpless.

And the Real Madrid players are also depressed, and their faces are extremely unsightly.
