Chapter 136: Interesting, Very Interesting
readx;
Real Madrid and Barcelona are completely evenly matched, this kind of thing was unthinkable a season ago, when even Real Madrid had to admit that Barcelona was stronger than them, in order to deal with Barcelona, they had to abandon their own things, give up attacking, just to limit the opponent's play, this is a very negative tactic, but also a very dangerous way of playing, because often your own attack can not play, has not yet defended the opponent's attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
So if the two teams had met in the Champions League final a year ago, the title would have been undoubtedly Barcelona's.
But now it's different.
Fifteen minutes into the game and the score is still 0-0. In those fifteen minutes, both sides had chances, but neither took them.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are not too good defensively, there are always holes. And Chu Zhongtian and Harvey are very good at seizing these loopholes.
However, the goalkeepers on both sides are very good, so this has created a situation where there are many shots on goal, but neither of them can score.
Valdés had been criticised for his inconsistent performances in the early years, but in recent years, as Barcelona's results have risen, his technique has improved and his self-confidence has improved. The defense in front of goal was very good. When it comes to the best goalkeeper award in La Liga, the "Zamora Award", Valdés has won more than Casillas...... If this is the only way to select the starting goalkeeper of the national team, Valdés should obviously be a well-deserved starter.
Speaking of this, this is also where Valdés's heart knot. He thinks that his performance is no worse than Casillas, and even less than Casillas in the number of goals conceded, but why can the main goalkeeper of the national team only be Casillas, not himself? Is it just because Casillas came out a few years before himself? But now it's obvious that his form is better than Casillas, doesn't Bosque choose players and arrange positions based on the state of the players?
Valdés wants to prove that he is better than Casillas again in this match, and to prove that in the most critical moments, the most trustworthy person is always himself!
※※※Actually, this game is really topical. Despite the fact that this is the fifth meeting between the two sides this season (counting the two Spanish Super Cups before last season), there is still no shortage of highlights.
The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is all-encompassing, and they can compete fiercely on many levels. For example, at the national team level, Barcelona has contributed the most players to the Spanish national team - Villa, Pedro, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Butzques, Puyol and Valdés, who are almost all the main players of the Spanish national team.
Real Madrid's contribution is not as good as Barcelona's, only Casillas, Sergio. Ramos, Abeloa, Albiol and Alonso are five people, of which Albiol and Abeloa are also substitutes. Alonso is also somewhere between the substitute and the main team, and the only ones who can really sit in the main position are Casillas and Ramos.
But the captain of the Spanish national team is Casillas, and on Barcelona's side, the only substitute is Valdés.
To be a goalkeeper and to be on the same team as Casillas, whether in the national team or in the club team, is a sadness.
Valdés was suppressed by Casillas for a long time, and in the most glorious years of the Spanish national team, whether it was the European Championship or the World Cup, Valdés could only be used as a substitute, sitting on the sidelines and watching his sworn enemies perform to the fullest, and carrying the captain's armband to the throne and lifting the championship trophy high.
Barcelona players are the cornerstone of the Spanish national team, and the tactics of the entire Spanish national team are almost copied from Barcelona's tactics. But why is the person who is really a Real Madrid player in the end, and now apart from a left-back, what other position does it have to be Real Madrid?
There has been a split within the Spanish national team due to last season's Champions League semi-finals with two Mars-like national derby. Although both parties said in interviews that their relationship had not changed from before, Casillas also said that he had known Xavi since he was 15 years old and that their relationship would not be ruined by one or two national derbys.
But not everyone is willing to take their word for it. As public figures, they have become accustomed to lying in front of the media.
Originally, within the Spanish national team, Barcelona and Real Madrid were in separate factions, with hostility and disdain towards each other.
After Spain won the World Cup in South Africa, there were also Barcelona players who went out to celebrate with the Catalan flag but not the Spanish flag, which was in stark contrast to the Real Madrid players who celebrated the victory with the Spanish flag.
The Barcelona players usually speak Catalan and rarely speak Spanish when communicating with the national team, which makes the Real Madrid players from the capital deeply dissatisfied.
As for the Barcelona players, they feel that the players of Real Madrid are superior everywhere because they are the first to come, but in fact, they have not achieved any results on the field in recent years, and they have such a status only because they are players from the capital. In their opinion, Real Madrid's players are like ruined aristocrats, who have long lost their former glory, but they always brag about the past to show off themselves, and they hold the aristocrat's shelf all day long, but they don't know that in the eyes of others, they are no different from those untouchables.
So only a few people's friendship is still there, and most people actually don't like each other for a long time.
Ramos and Pique, both big players at the back, don't like each other. Valdés, on the other hand, harbors a jealousy of Casillas, who has long since stopped talking to Villa in the national team.
The hatred between the two sides in the national team is a big headache for Bosque, which is also the reason why the Spanish national team has not performed as well as before in the past year, and the old man is already thinking about giving up some of the national team regulars and calling in those young but not well-known, players who are not from Real Madrid, nor from Barcelona to give the Spanish national team such fresh blood.
If this toss continues, I am afraid that the Spanish national team will ruin its own internal differences, not the threat from outside...... This rivalry and discord is also fully reflected in this game.
The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is everywhere.
Facing his national teammate Villa's dribbling, Sergio. Ramos unceremoniously made a very, very vicious tackle that sent Villarien to the ground with the ball.
The Barcelona fans in the stands let out loud boos for a foul on Ramos' tackle. But the referee didn't say anything, and Ramos didn't look back at his national team teammates who were rolling around on the ground by himself. The referee didn't blow the whistle, he continued to play, so he wouldn't give up possession just because he wanted to carry forward his demeanor!
The referee thought Ramos' tackle was just right, and although it looked scary, it didn't actually tackle Villa, who had some showmanship in his exaggerated fall...... Villa lay on the ground and saw that the referee ignored him, patted the turf in indignant, and then got up from the ground, this time it was the turn of the Real Madrid fans to boo him.
The problem of Barcelona players faking falls has been discussed many times since last season, and Real Madrid fans now think that they are faking falls whenever they see Barcelona players fall to the ground, regardless of whether they are really violated or not. If it is really injured, then Real Madrid fans are even more happy - because the players of the sworn rivals are injured, which will greatly affect their performance in the game, and then Real Madrid will have a better chance of winning against them!
Real Madrid fans booed Barcelona players for their habitual fake falls, while Barcelona fans booed Real Madrid for their habitual rudeness.
The fans of the two teams were-for-tat in the stands, making the stadium security very nervous, for fear that the fans of the two teams would fight if they disagreed.
Although the reputation of Spanish fans is not bad, no one can guarantee that there will be no exceptions.
Of course, Ramos was soon "punished" as he continued to sprint forward with the ball, but he was stopped by Butzkes. The two men slammed into each other, and in the end, the ball broke out of Ramos's control and bounced off the baseline. The referee did not blow for a foul on Butzques, but simply signaled for Real Madrid to throw the throw-in.
This made Ramos a little dissatisfied, and he glared at Butzkes fiercely.
Butzkes looked at him fearlessly, and slowly retreated back to his zone.
※※※Of course, this kind of physical confrontation is not the mainstream of today's game. Brilliant shots and clever passes, already subtle passes, were the theme of the game.
When Ramos and Butzquez had just finished fighting, it was just a vignette.
The real duel is still concentrated in the midfield.
Real Madrid and Barcelona each have the strongest midfielders in the world. Barcelona have Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Buzquez, Mascherano and even more so if you include Messi, who often cruising in midfield. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have Chu Zhongtian, Khedira, C. Ronaldo, Kaka and Mesut Ozil.
Just the top collision. With so many superstars and masters concentrated here, you can imagine how fierce the competition must be here.
Both teams understand that whoever controls the midfield can control the opponent and even the outcome of the game.
If one side loses ground in midfield, they will quickly be beaten into dangerous areas by the opponent.
"Harvey's biography...... He and Butzkes are a one-two...... Pretty! Harvey, Butzkes, Iniesta, Xavi, Buzquez...... Doing continuous triangular passes, their passing is too skillful! It's all a one-kick pass, so it's a real pleasure to pass and run like that......"
This is a situation that often happens when Barcelona are in possession.
And when it's Real Madrid's turn, it's like this...... "Khedira passed the football to Chu ...... Chu Zuoshi dribble...... Pass it to Kaka! Kaka crosses to Mesut Ozil, who turns and passes back...... Chu Yuan——! Pass?! Cristiano. Ronaldo!! The long shot is missed! What a pity! ”
Real Madrid had fewer passes in midfield, but were more direct. They rarely pass more than ten shots back and forth in midfield, always hitting the edge of the opposition penalty area with four or five shots, and if there is a chance to shoot, they will not hesitate to shoot with their feet, if not...... Then pass back, keep back, pull Barcelona out and reorganise the attack.
"It was a very open game and Mourinho didn't put his defensive weapons back in the final to limit Barcelona's goals, as we thought...... He doesn't seem to be worried about Barcelona scoring, is it because he is confident of scoring more goals than Barcelona? ”
Some commentators have asked questions that they know at a glance that they are the ones who have not commented on Real Madrid's away game against Barcelona in La Liga. No one who watched that game would have such a question. Because Real Madrid have already shown in the game that they can play against the boycott and have the ability to win in the game.
It was that game that filled the Real Madrid squad with confidence.
'Both sides have shots on goal and both have chances to score, so it's a good game! Now it's up to who can take advantage of those opportunities to score first and change the balance of power on the pitch – although you can attack beautifully, if you don't score, it's a bit of a 'thunder and rain'. For this game to be set off, it is necessary to score goals. When one side scores a goal, the other side can be stimulated to fight more and push the game to a new level. ”
That's what neutral commentators and neutral fans expect. If the game is one-sided, it's not interesting.
It's not that there are no chances to score, it seems that there are still a lot of them, and some people must be complaining: "Why can't you take such opportunities?" "It's a must-score!"
But Chu Zhongtian felt that these opportunities looked beautiful, but when he actually operated them, he found that they were all a little worse.
That's what makes it impossible to turn a goal at every chance. Sometimes the pass is a little too strong, causing the receiver to use an extra movement to adjust, and as a result, he misses the best time to shoot, and when he adjusts, the opponent also blocks the angle of the shot. In some cases, the shooter was interfered with by the Barcelona defenders when shooting, so that the action of the shot was deformed and the shot was off target. Otherwise, the timing of the pass is too early or too late, causing the teammate to not receive the ...... In short, all kinds of inconspicuous factors affect the final result, and every mistake is absolutely unremarkable at first, but only when you find out how much of a deviation this mistake has caused...... Chu Zhongtian's passing mistakes were all because of the trouble and pressure brought to him by the person next to her.
Originally, I played Mascherano once at the beginning, thinking that the next game would be a little easier. But I didn't expect this person to be even more difficult than I expected.
He's got great physically, he's running aggressively, he's physically strong, he's not afraid of physical confrontation at all, and of course he's not a good midfielder if he only knows the simplest of ramming. He is also very good at using his body wisely to scramble, and under the madness of not fouling, he can disrupt the offense and defend as much as possible.
After fighting with Mascherano for more than 20 minutes, Chu Zhongtian finally understood why Mascherano was able to keep an eye on Kaka at his peak.
Because he is indeed strong.
Although he was pressed on the cold bench in Barcelona for two seasons and his form dropped slightly, he got into the game very quickly. Obviously he has a lot of expectations for this game and has done a lot of preparation.
Chu Zhongtian found that if he broke the deadlock, he would have to get rid of Mascherano's entanglement.
※※※ Guardiola is very keen to find that Mascherano has caused trouble to Chu Zhongtian - his performance is not sharp before because of Mascherano's presence, just like a knife used to cut meat without sharpening, and he always feels uncomfortable.
Pep Guardiola laughed. His pre-match approach finally worked.
Who said that Chu Zhongtian was incomprehensible? Since Chu Zhongtian defeated the unsolved Messi and the unsolved Barcelona in the Champions League final, Guardiola no longer believes that there are no unsolved players and teams in this world.
Chu Zhongtian is the same, there must be his weakness.
Because he is physically excellent, he needs an opponent who is also physical, and secondly, his physical strength is excellent, so his opponent must not be a thin body, and then he has outstanding skills and experience, so the person who wants to defend him must not be a rough brother and a rookie. Finally, and most importantly, Chu Zhongtian has a heart that will never give up, no matter what problems he encounters, he will insist on falling to the ground and fighting to the end, so if you want to completely freeze him, the defenders must never give up like him, and they are good at stalking and fighting, no matter how Chu Zhongtian gets rid of it, he just doesn't give up and bites the prey.
Come to think of it, is there a better candidate than Mascherano?
Now the game on the pitch proves Guardiola's choice.
Although Mascherano seems to let Chu Zhongtian run away every time and is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Chu Zhongtian, he is always able to make key defenses at the most critical moments, which makes Chu Zhongtian feel very uncomfortable.
Chu Zhongtian thought to himself that he had met an opponent this time.
But isn't that exactly what he was looking for?
Chu Zhongtian picked up the football and prepared to surprise Mascherano, but Mascherano did not fall to the ground directly and tackle it, but followed closely and pasted it up, preventing him from speeding up to get rid of it.
Chu Zhongtian saw that he couldn't shake off Mascherano and made a sharp stop, preparing to break through from the other side.
He did manage to shake off Mascherano or just in a split second...... But for Chu Zhongtian, this is enough!
He just shook off Mascherano and shot from distance!
"Chu-!!"
At this moment, Mascherano just turned around and fell to the ground decisively, almost touching the football at the same time as Chu Zhongtian...... The moment Chu Zhongtian drew the football, he knew that the situation was not good, and the feeling that he shot out was not strong, which showed that the football was touched by someone and moved forward slightly...... Sure enough, the football shot out by Chu Zhongtian was directly above the crossbar!
"Ahh This is Chu's third anti-aircraft gun in this game! So far in the game he has only had three shots on goal, all of them with anti-aircraft guns...... It seems that he is not in good form for long-range shots today? ”
The narrator shouted in regret.
Chu Zhongtian did not hold his head in his hands to express regret, but turned around and looked down at Mascherano who had just gotten up.
The other party also felt his eyes, raised his head and looked at Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian read the belief of never admitting defeat from the other party's eyes.
Instead of frowning, he smiled.
It's interesting, it's a lot of fun.
