Chapter Seventy-Two: The Key to the Problem, the Focus of Victory or Defeat

readx;

Adriano had no idea that Real Madrid would immediately take advantage of his opportunity to assist, and it was so successful that Buzques couldn't stop him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chu Zhongtian used a winger-style breakthrough past Butzks, but this does not mean that he is flat in front of him.

And Piquet and Puyol.

But the situation is very favorable for Real Madrid. Because it's three to two! In the front, Real Madrid has three attacking players, Chu Zhongtian one, and Higuain is in the middle, and C. Ronaldo is moving from the wing to the middle.

As for Barcelona, because the two full-backs Alves and Adriano are inserted to participate in the attack, there are only two central defenders Pique and Puyol in the back.

After being dumped by Chu Zhongtian, Butzkes was desperately trying to return to defense. However, he did not chase Chu Zhongtian, but ran diagonally towards the penalty area. He knew very well what Chu Zhongtian was going to do. If you want to say that Chu Zhongtian wants to shoot directly, there is Pi Kui to deal with him, I am afraid that he will cross, once he crosses, there will be two central defenders in front of the goal, there are few people, and if Chu Zhongtian is attracted out of one, that kind of road will be empty.

He doesn't think that he and Piqui can cut off Chu Zhongtian's ball, Chu Zhongtian can pass the football before the two of them complete the defense, and when the time comes, there will only be one Puyol in the middle, whether it is Higuain or C. Ronaldo, they can easily shoot the football into the goal.

So Butzkes chose the wisest route to defend back. Of course, the premise is that Pi Kui can entangle Chu Zhongtian before he runs back...... In the deafening cheers and shouts of Real Madrid fans, Chu Zhongtian brought the football into the penalty area, but before he entered the penalty area, he met the supplementary central defender Pique.

Chu Zhongtian didn't look up, as if he hadn't noticed Pi Kui's movements.

"What else is there to say about such a situation? Pass the ball! Madrid's commentator shouted, seeing Chu Zhongtian bowing his head and dribbling the ball, he was a little anxious.

Pi Kui saw Chu Zhongtian bowing his head, thinking that he didn't see him, so he was overjoyed and pounced directly.

Unexpectedly, just when he pulled out his legs and raised himself to break the ball, Chu Zhongtian, who was lowering his head, made a sudden cross!

The soccer ball rolled under Pique's crotch against the turf!

"Cross!!"

All Barcelona fans are pinning their hopes on Puyol, who is still in the middle. I saw him sideways to block Higuain, and now all he had to do was get the football big foot out of the way...... Although Chu Zhongtian's series of breakthroughs just now were very beautiful, his cross seemed to be frightened by Pi Kui, and it seemed to be in a hurry...... Just when everyone thought that Barcelona had successfully defended Real Madrid's attack.

Then a man rushed in.

Puyol only noticed that it was dark in front of him, and a figure had blocked him like lightning, and the number behind him was very conspicuous - 7!

Real Madrid's number 7!

"Cristiano—" the narrator shouted in a lengthened voice.

Valdés wanted to intercept this cross and stop Ronaldo from shooting, but there was nothing he could do, because Chu Zhongtian's pass was not too close to the goal, so he didn't dare to attack for a while.

C. Ronaldo suddenly inserted in front of Puyol, and at the same time, Chu Zhongtian's football also arrived, and the Portuguese shooter did not hesitate at all, nor did he round his thigh to vent his anger, but just turned his ankle sideways, and then gently exerted force when he touched the football...... Valdés stood with his legs spread apart, leaning back, trying to pounce but couldn't pounce, his body froze there, and he could only turn his head and send the football into his door...... "Ronaldo-!! ”

“gooooooooooooooool!!!”

"The ball is in!! The ball is in! Real Madrid leads Barcelona 1-0!! ”

"Real Madrid, playing at home, took the lead!"

"It was Cristiano who scored for them. Ronaldo - !! ”

Everyone shouted.

The commentary seat, which had been dull for a long time, finally erupted into a passionate voice.

And the cheers at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium reached its peak at this moment.

“hala_madrid!!!”

C. Ronaldo, who scored the goal, didn't go anywhere, he stood in front of the Barcelona goal, gestured to Chu Zhongtian, and motioned for him to come up and celebrate with him.

Chu Zhongtian pounced, and the two hugged each other to celebrate the goal. Soon they were surrounded by other excited teammates.

After almost 30 minutes, Real Madrid finally took the lead at home - and this was the first time in more than two seasons that Real Madrid had led Barcelona in a league match!

The strength of Barcelona can be seen...... "The Bernabeu is boiling!" I can barely hear what I'm saying! Real Madrid completed their first lead in their last five league national derbys! It was Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the goal, and it was our players who assisted him...... Chu Zhongtian!! He Ping's voice couldn't hide his pride.

"Ronaldo scored his fifteenth league goal of the season and he extended his lead over Messi in the scorers' charts!"

"The matchup between these two world best players is truly spectacular! I bet Messi is definitely not willing to be left behind by Ronaldo like this, he will explode next! ”

"Real Madrid's counter-attack was wonderful! But the most crucial figure is obviously Chu! It was he who stopped Casillas' hand-toss with a difficult move and then took advantage of the situation to get past Butzques, creating such a situation of playing more and playing less...... Real Madrid, which has Chu, is completely different from last season! If you want me to say, although it cost 70 million euros, Chu is the most cost-effective transfer deal for Real Madrid this season! ”

"Chu's performance is intoxicating! Looking at his stoppage, who do we think of? Qizu! ”

“yes! Yes, Chu is so powerful! Ha ha! "At the Wimbleds, Old John laughed and drank heavily.

※※※ Real Madrid's goal process is actually very simple, there is no wonderful even five people, and there is no as many as 30 consecutive non-stop passes, that is, Casillas threw the football out, Chu Zhongtian made a transition on the side of the midfield, and passed Buzkes here may be regarded as the most exciting part of the whole goal, and then passed the football to C. Ronaldo.

Football went in.

It's not artistic, and it's not going to impress everyone, but that's the style of Real Madrid – straightforward and deadly.

There are only two passes in the whole process - from Casillas to Chu Zhongtian, and from Chu Zhongtian to C. Ronaldo.

That was enough, with the Real Madrid players celebrating the goal while the Barcelona players reluctantly accepted that they were behind.

Off the pitch, Mourinho jumped up when he saw the ball fly into the goal. It is not a whimsical idea to use the void left by Adriano's assist, but the fact that it can be used so successfully still shows Chu Zhongtian's ability. If he hadn't stopped Casillas, if he had stopped and was cut off by Butzkes...... If it turns out to be true, the goal won't go in.

The key is Chu Zhongtian, he completed his task very well, and he did not be greedy in the end, but chose to selflessly pass the football to C. Ronaldo, who was in a better position. If this goal were replaced by C. Ronaldo, it is estimated that he would choose to force a breakthrough through Pique, and then shoot directly.

The Real Madrid players celebrated their goals and returned to their own half, and the Barcelona players were ready to kick off.

Despite being a goal behind, the Barcelona players did not show signs of panic, knowing full well that this was Real Madrid's home stadium and that it would be impossible to say that they would not have scored at all. However, they are more confident in their attacking prowess and they don't think it will be difficult for them to score at the Bernabeu, so there is still room for action in this game.

This confidence comes from their own strength and the overwhelming dominance they have had over Real Madrid over the past few seasons. Real Madrid have never won Barcelona in a league derby since Pep Guardiola came to power, and the best result was the last league derby of last season, when Real Madrid drew 1-1 at home to Barcelona and relied on a penalty kick to equalize in the 82nd minute.

With such a head-to-head record, it's no surprise that Barcelona's players are full of confidence.

The goal boosted the morale of Real Madrid's players, who saw hope of beating Barcelona at home. And what about Barcelona? Didn't lose the confidence to win either.

Real Madrid will be hoping to take advantage of the lead and try to score another goal to extend their lead.

And what about Barcelona? Naturally, I hope that Real Madrid will fight against them.

The next game suddenly looked better than it did before the goal.

“…… Andres Iniesta...... Villa...... Pedro...... Pedro!! Casillas! Nice save! ”

"Ronaldo shoots directly from a distance - oh!! It's dangerous! I almost went in, if Valdés hadn't rubbed it......"

"Chu! Clear! Nice getaway! Pass! Give Di Maria! Anyone! Di Maria passed Adriano! Cross...... Blocked by Puyol! ”

"Higuain! Shot - missed! ”

"Messi! Messi! Messi! Messi Casillas! ”

"Chu was defending Xavi, but Xavi passed the football out, and he now avoided going head-to-head with Chu Zhongtian. Butzkes came up and he received a pass from Xavi...... Long shot!! ”

"Cristiano. Ronaldo bursts into the box and sweeps in front of goal! Higuain! One step slower! But the ball looked like a shot again...... No wonder Higuain didn't keep up......"

…… In the ten minutes between Real Madrid's goal and the end of the first half, both sides had a total of 11 shots on goal, far more than the previous number of shots on goal.

But it was a big shame for Barcelona that they didn't score in those ten minutes of attack. On the one hand, it was almost unlucky, and on the other hand, the energy of the outburst Real Madrid in the attack exceeded Barcelona's estimates, and they did not dare to invest too much in the attack, for fear of being scored by Real Madrid before the goal.

As a result, until the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, and the home team Real Madrid took the lead.

※※※ "The first half of the game is over!" Real Madrid lead Barcelona 1-0 at their home stadium! Neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid will accept the scoreline, with the home side looking to extend their lead while the visitors will be hoping to equalise as soon as possible. It can be said that the battle between the two sides will be more intense in the second half......"

Both sides walked off the pitch amid the shouts of the fans and entered their respective passages, ignoring no one else.

After the end of the first half, the live signal cut back to the studio in Beijing. Experts and hosts want to comment on the first half, and the experts who were asked to play the role of "Real Madrid supporters" are naturally happy and excited, full of praise for Chu Zhongtian's performance, and are also very optimistic about Mourinho and other players. The expert guests who were asked to play the role of "Barcelona supporters" believed that Barcelona would definitely set off a ferocious counterattack in the second half, so fierce that Real Madrid could not stand it at all.

Of course, these two guests will naturally be scolded countless times online and in their hearts by the fans of the opposing team, and even the female immediate family members in their own families will suffer...... But it's all arranged, just to add to the atmosphere...... In the Spanish media, there is no such atmosphere that can be created. The Spanish media is clearly divided, the Madrid media is almost one-sided to cheer Real Madrid, and the Catalan media is naturally Barcelona's pro-guard.

Taking advantage of the half-time period, the TV and radio broadcasts of both sides analyzed the first half, of course, only saying good things about the teams they supported, and hoping that the opponent would be more unlucky in the second half.

Chu Zhongtian, who performed well on the court, naturally became the focus of everyone's comments.

Madrid's media considered Chu Zhongtian to be the best player in the first half as a brilliant performer. Even overpowered C. Ronaldo, who scored the goal.

The Catalan media believes that Chu Zhongtian's yellow card is the biggest hidden danger for Real Madrid in the second half. They did not deny the importance of Chu Zhongtian to Real Madrid, on the contrary, they also believed that Chu Zhongtian is absolutely indispensable to today's Real Madrid, and if Chu Zhongtian was sent off with a red card in the first half, it would be a heavy blow to Real Madrid. There are few teams that can win against Barcelona with one less man, let alone a central midfield that must not be missing.

Although Chu Zhongtian did not receive a second yellow card in the first half, the Catalan media believed that it was because of Chu Zhongtian's good luck. In the forty-five minutes of the second half, as long as Barcelona continued to attack Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian would definitely be able to get a second yellow card.

No matter how far apart the two sides may be, there is one thing they agree on. That is, the key to the second half is still on Chu Zhongtian - Real Madrid must give full play to Chu Zhongtian's role, and Barcelona must find a way to get Chu Zhongtian down.

And in the dressing rooms of both sides, this is also the main theme.

After Mourinho praised the team's performance in the first half, he gave special praise to Chu Zhongtian. This is an affirmation of his role and status in the team. Then he asked the whole team to insist on defensive counterattack in the second half, and Chu Zhongtian was the core in the counterattack, and he must cooperate with him to act. In addition to Harvey. Alonso and Khedira also have to provide protection for Chu Zhongtian, because Chu Zhongtian is now carrying a yellow card and must be careful.

In Barcelona's dressing room, Pep Guardiola offered little criticism of the goals conceded. He skimmed the ball and began to tell the players what to do in the second half.

In fact, there are quite few parts of Barcelona's football that can be changed, no matter what they do, they will only stick to their style of play, that is, control the football, advance layer by layer, attack and defend, and insist on attacking football.

But in the first half, Chu Zhongtian's defense against Xavi was too strict, and Xavi almost didn't play at all. If it goes on like this, Barcelona will definitely lose this game.

So adjustments had to be made in the second half.

Pep Guardiola's countermeasure was to let Xavi feint and attract the attention of Real Madrid players such as Chu Zhongtian, but let Buzques be the team's real dominant attacker.

It is too dangerous for Piqui to plug in the back, and the space behind him will be exploited.

And Butzks is better, since Chu Zhongtian can be used as a back midfielder to organize the attack, why can't Buzkes, who is not inferior to him in terms of technique and awareness?

Judging from the first half, Real Madrid's midfield defensive division is very clear, Chu Zhongtian contains Xavi, Alonso comes to deal with Iniesta, and Khedira follows Messi inch by inch. At this time, if Butzques can plug in, he can break the balance of power in the midfield.

In fact, it's like the role of a free man played by Beckenbauer.

It's just that with the development of modern football, the free man tactic is becoming more and more unplayable. Even Chu Zhongtian is a free man in the back position, not a complete reproduction of Beckenbauer.

Pep Guardiola felt that getting Butzques up was the only way to break the deadlock. Xavi and Andres Iniesta were both closely watched, and Messi could only go it alone without the support of these two. If Butzques goes up, Real Madrid will have to divide their forces and then their entire backline will be problematic.

I can take care of this, I can't take care of that, I can't guard against Butzkes, I can't stop Messi. In short, full of loopholes. And Barcelona are the team that is best at seizing the holes to break the deadlock. With Barcelona's passing level, passing back and forth like this, are you still worried that Real Madrid's backline will not show flaws?

Another point, of course, is to try to induce Chu Zhongtian to foul in the second half, he is the core of Real Madrid, and he has a yellow card on his body, if he can be sent off with two yellows and one red, it will be equivalent to a double insurance for Barcelona to win Real Madrid.
