Chapter 69: Chu VS Harvey

readx;

Messi thought before the game that he would become Chu Zhongtian's target again, and he was ready to fight with Chu Zhongtian in the game. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWho would have thought that after the game started, Chu Zhongtian's defender was not him. Mourinho handed Messi to Khedira.

Khedira's defensive ability is obviously a little worse than Chu Zhongtian, and Messi can show his exquisite footwork and passing.

There's no shortage of stars in the national derby.

Especially a player like Messi.

In the twelfth minute of the game, after Messi won the ball in the midfield, he first made a feint to distribute the ball to the side, and then suddenly started and dribbled horizontally diagonally. Khedira made a tackle with his foot, but Messi deftly dodged it.

Messi then faced Alonso and Pepe's defense, and at this time he had already brought the ball to the edge of the penalty area, which was a very dangerous place, so Pepe also rushed out to help defend. Everyone knows that one-on-one, Messi is almost unstoppable.

What's more, he still has so many good teammates to support him at Barcelona...... So he didn't continue to dribble the ball, but stuffed the ball directly to Villa, who was in front, and he continued to run diagonally.

Villa was entangled by another of Real Madrid's centre-backs, Villa, and couldn't turn around. But he didn't need to turn around, he put his hand on Carvalho, who wanted to come up and break the ball, and then slammed the football back with his heel...... "Beautiful! ”

The narrator shouted.

He passed the football to Messi again. Messi received his wonderful pass just in time when he entered the penalty area!

"Opportunity in Barcelona!"

"Relying on Villa as the fulcrum, Messi got the opportunity to burst into the penalty area!"

But Messi is not unmarked, and he has full-back Ramos by his side.

Ramos clinged to Messi, not letting him break through or get up easily, and at the same time, Pepe also rushed over from the middle, despite this, Messi still found an opportunity to shoot, and he forced his feet to shoot under the joint defense of Ramos and Pepe!

The ball was drawn by him and flew into the near corner of the goal.

Casillas had sealed it off, and he punched the ball out. Messi, who finished shooting, lost his balance and fell to the ground, unable to continue to shoot, and the football was easily picked up by Di Maria, who was driven back. Real Madrid has switched from defense to attack!

This is the moment that Real Madrid fans are most looking forward to and the moment when Jose Mourinho's football comes into play.

Seeing Di Maria get the ball, C. Ronaldo, Chu Zhongtian, and Higuain all turned around and ran forward at the first time.

Unlike the other two, Chu Zhongtian did not run forward, but moved closer to Di Maria.

Di Maria is characterized by being good at dribbling, fast and a good player when it comes to counter-attacking. But Barcelona's defenders are not vegetarians either, and if Di Maria has to compete with each other on a one-on-one basis, I'm afraid he won't take advantage of it. So Chu Zhongtian ran over to support him. In this way, whether Di Maria chooses to pass the ball or choose to dribble the ball himself, there will be one more choice, which will make it difficult for Barcelona's players to defend.

Di Maria glanced up at the situation in front of him while dribbling the ball, and he caught a glimpse of Chu Zhongtian's figure.

This time, he didn't choose to carry the ball alone, but passed the football directly to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian slowed down to catch the ball, then turned around and walked to the middle.

Di Maria, on the other hand, continued to run along the flank, suppressing Barcelona's full-backs from easily assisting in the middle.

Chu Zhongtian didn't take the ball for too long, he is not a speed player, and the speed of dribbling is not fast, since it is a quick counterattack, then speed must be the primary consideration.

Singing erupted from the stands at the Bernabeu as Real Madrid fans cheered on their team. It was Real Madrid's counter-attack and they saw hope of scoring!

Chu Zhongtian quickly passed the football to the feet of C. Ronaldo on the other wing.

After passing the ball, he continued to run forward until he rushed into the penalty area. It's a difference between a front waist and a back back. It's rare for a midfielder to go all the way into the opposition penalty area, and they have to return to their position after completing the pass, but the midfielder often rushes into the box to play the role of a killer.

Now as a forward midfielder, although he is a defensive forward midfielder, it does not prevent Chu Zhongtian from pursuing goals in attack.

However, C. Ronaldo did not pass it to Chu Zhongtian, nor did it pass it to Higuain. Because Real Madrid's counterattack opportunities were too fast, Barcelona's defenders didn't return to defend much, so Ronaldo faced fewer defenders, and he directly chose to break into the penalty area and then shoot!

"Cristiano. Ronaldo-"

The soccer ball flew towards the far corner of the goal.

ValdΓ©s also made a brilliant save as he flew to knock the ball off the line!

"Wow! Both sides had a very good offense and defense! This is the National Derby! This is the War of the Century! ”

The narrator exclaimed excitedly.

In fact, C. Ronaldo passed the football sideways just now, maybe the chance is better, but as a person who has scored 49 goals in a single season, it is not a big deal to choose to shoot by himself.

So neither Chu Zhongtian nor Higuain expressed any dissatisfaction with C. Ronaldo's choice.

The fans don't delve into these issues, they just have to watch it well, and obviously C. Ronaldo's shot just now made them happy.

β€»β€»β€» Messi and C. Ronaldo are together, and neither wants to perform badly after the other team has played well. Both are the best players in world football today, with Messi being the jewel of Barcelona and C. Ronaldo being the king of the Bernabeu.

At present, the two are also competing with each other in the scorer list of La Liga. The positions of the two men at the top of the scorer list always alternate back and forth.

C. Ronaldo is currently at the top of the table with fourteen league goals, and Messi is only one goal away from him, a position that could be reversed at any time in this game.

Messi won the World Footballer of the Year for two years in a row, stealing the limelight from C. Ronaldo, which is unacceptable for the arrogant Portuguese. In private, C. Ronaldo doesn't like Messi, and when Messi is mentioned in the Real Madrid team, Ronaldo always uses "dwarf" instead of Messi's name.

It can be seen how unhappy he is with Messi.

Now on his home turf, C. Ronaldo's desire to beat Messi is even more urgent.

He wants to overpower Messi in the league scorer charts, but he also wants to help the team win, both individually and as a team.

At the same time, Messi may not hate him as much as C. Ronaldo hates him, but he will never admit defeat to Ronaldo in his heart. Any player at their level has a sense of pride that they won't be willing to lose.

C. Ronaldo is now at the top of the scorer list, how can Messi be willing? He only needs to score two more goals in this game to complete the overtaking. He doesn't think it's difficult, he has scored eight goals in the league against Real Madrid, he has scored four goals at the Bernabeu alone, he is the top scorer in the national derby in the last decade, and the four goals at the Bernabeu also allow him to surpass Henry, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Saldua The four legends, become the player with the most goals in the history of the Barcelona team at the Bernabeu.

Since they've all gone in four, it's nothing to get two more here.

These two goals will not only allow him to surpass C. Ronaldo, but also help his team win the game.

As for Chu Zhongtian...... It seems that he will not have much intersection with him in this game, and the revenge of the Champions League final can only be avenged by defeating Real Madrid, where he is located.

β€»β€»β€» Messi is full of fighting spirit for this game, and C. Ronaldo is also full of fighting spirit. Because they all have a very strong purpose.

What about Chu Zhongtian?

Chu Zhongtian's goal is to win this game.

There is nothing more enjoyable than a victory, let alone a victory over such an important and formidable opponent.

In addition, it is very rewarding to compete with Xavi in midfield.

Xavi is Barcelona's midfield commander, as is Chu Zhongtian.

Long before Chu Zhongtian transferred to Real Madrid, some media regarded him as a midfielder like Xavi, but the German media disagreed at the time, because they believed that Chu Zhongtian's defensive ability was better than Xavi's, his physical fitness was better, and Xavi was not the same type of player. If you have to find a template for Chu Zhongtian, I'm afraid Beckenbauer is more suitable...... In all fairness, Chu Zhongtian does have a different style from Harvey. Xavi is more of a passer to organise the team, but defensively, he has contributed very little. Chu Zhongtian is more comprehensive and has better physical fitness than Xavi, which means that he can do many things that Xavi can't do - such as marking and defending to freeze the opponent's core...... β€»β€»β€» Xavi ran through the center circle to ask for the ball, and the football and Chu Zhongtian came almost at the same time.

Now that Chu Zhongtian is the front waist, he doesn't have to worry about whether he is too far forward and whether it will lead to the problem of air defense weakness in the rear, so that he can follow Harvey without distraction, no matter where he goes.

Xavi had to catch the ball with his back, but as soon as Chu Zhongtian posted it, it would be difficult for him to set you up again...... In fact, it has long been common for players like Xavi to take the ball with his back and want to get rid of defenders, and he has experience.

As long as a defender breaks the ball with his foot, it's his chance to get rid of it. Because at this moment the defender will relax the defense of the person and focus on the ball, which will open up the space, which is very important, and the player with the ball has the space to do what he wants.

But Chu Zhongtian is different from ordinary defensive players, he stuck to Xavi, but he did not rush to steal, but relied on the advantage of physical fitness to squeeze Xavi to the backcourt.

In terms of the confrontation of strength, Harvey really can't compete with Chu Zhongtian, if he doesn't move, he will definitely be squeezed to the ground by Chu Zhongtian in the end, Chu Zhongtian may be a foul, but his attack will definitely be interrupted. It's not a good thing to be interrupted like this every time.

Xavi was forced to run back, carrying the football with him, and while doing so, he had to prevent Chu Zhongtian from breaking the ball, and he also had to look around to find a suitable passing point and think about what to do next.

He ended up passing the football to Butzques.

Higuain pressed up.

Chu Zhongtian didn't run with the football, let alone stay by Harvey's side every step, like a watchdog. He stepped back a little, stuck on a key point in the defense. Not only to prevent Xavi, but also to prevent Butzkes from suddenly cutting forward with the ball.

Buzquez, pressed by Higuain, turned and passed the ball to centre-back Pique.

This time, there was no one to press, and Higuain did not continue to pounce, because he knew that the result of continuing to pounce forward would be to be played like a monkey by the opponent. Besides, Mourinho specifically warned them to pay extra attention to their formation when defending. So instead of rushing forward, he stepped back.

Real Madrid did not play against Barcelona at their home stadium, opting for a solid defensive strategy. This seems to confirm Cruyff's words: "Even if Mourinho comes, Real Madrid will not dare to play against Barcelona in the game." Perhaps this is the biggest pain in the hearts of Real Madrid fans. ”

But so what? Real Madrid have not won a single national derby in six league games against Barcelona, and the victory is more important than the spectacle, with Real Madrid fans focusing more on the result than the process. If a person can't even eat, do you think he cares if he eats porridge or a full banquet?

Therefore, Mourinho chose to use conservative tactics to meet the enemy at the Bernabeu, and did not let him incur crazy boos in the stands, but received unreserved support from the fans, and bursts of singing came from the stands, which has well indicated the attitude of Real Madrid fans to Mourinho's style of play.

β€»β€»β€» When facing Barcelona, many teams think that as long as they press the defense tightly, they can curb Barcelona's control of the ball. So it's not uncommon to see their players chasing Barcelona players behind the butt of the football, chasing from one end to the other, and back to that end, but the football is always at the feet of the Barcelona players, and Barcelona uses this back and forth to tear apart their own defense, and they are seized to kill with a fatal blow.

Jose Mourinho has known since his time in charge of Inter Milan that this will not work, it is better to do the opposite - since Barcelona control the ball on the spot, let them control it, and they can control the ball however they want in non-dangerous areas. And once they reach the danger zone, they will find themselves facing the most tightly defended opponents, leaving them the slightest space and time, such a defense gives the ball to the opponent, but in the key places to the competition for the ball is unceremonious, even very ferocious...... So Mourinho's team played with Barcelona and had very little possession. This is also one of the ways he is criticized by those "artists".

Now at Real Madrid, Mourinho is still doing the same. The team as a whole recovered very deeply, shrinking into an area of 30 meters. But this kind of shrinking tactics alone still can't stop Barcelona, because Barcelona will always face the opponent's shrinking situation, and they have the same way to break this shrinkage, that is, frequent passes and runs, dismantling the opponent's defensive formation, and tearing open spaces.

So if you want to prevent Barcelona, you need another thing - the containment of Xavi and Iniesta.

Xavi and Andres Iniesta are the source and motivation of all Barcelona's attacks, and Messi is only the last to solve the problem or the excesses. Without Xavi and Andres Iniesta's constant support in midfield, he would be of no use. That's why Messi in Barcelona and Messi in the Argentine national team are the same.

There aren't many people who can contain Xavi and Iniesta, because these two are super high-caliber players, and they can't just let any cat or dog die so easily.

Although Chu Zhongtian has never confronted Xavi and Iniesta, Mourinho firmly believes that Chu Zhongtian can do it, so he delegated the core task to Chu Zhongtian. Those who claim that Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho have a discordant relationship, if they know the story behind this, I wonder if they will insist that one of the two must leave Real Madrid at the end of the season?

Chu Zhongtian's defense against Xavi was all-round.

Barcelona tried to attack without Xavi at first, so Messi retreated frequently, what threat can a Messi who is far away from the penalty area have? He took the ball and turned and moved forward, increasing the distance he could dribble and increasing the risk of him being cut off, making it easier for Real Madrid to defend.

This is clearly not going to work. Barcelona soon found out.

So in the end, it's up to Harvey.

As long as the football is passed to Xavi, Chu Zhongtian will pounce on it as soon as possible, and his movements will be steady and ruthless, making Xavi miserable.

Want to pass Chu Zhongtian? The one-on-one defense Chu Zhongtian is almost invincible in the world, and Messi has suffered from him, not to mention Xavi. Get rid of it by passing? It's a good idea because Barcelona are very skilled in passing.

But the problem is that when Chu Zhongtian was defending Xavi, although he didn't make big moves, he was very ruthless. Don't think that Xavi has no pressure, in fact, he must be on guard against Chu Zhongtian's small movements at all times, and under such interference, it is not easy to pass the football well.

What's more, when Chu Zhongtian found that he could no longer stick to the other party, he would not hesitate to commit a foul on the spot, and put Harvey directly to the ground, completely ending this attack that might pose a threat.

Since his fouls were committed in non-sensitive areas, the referee often only blew the whistle and did not play a card, not even a verbal warning.

Xavi was very helpless about this, and the Catalan commentator seized on this point and lashed out at the referee of the game, Munis. Hernandez, think he's too partial to the home team, it's a naked bias!

"Jose Mourinho always complains that his team is not being given preferential treatment, while Barcelona are receiving all kinds of special care from the Football Association and the league committee. But now let's see, who exactly is being given preferential treatment? It's Real Madrid!! ”
