For Real Madrid, the second leg of the national derby with Barcelona can actually be played with a more relaxed mood, after all, they are still four points ahead, even if they lose this game, they are still one point ahead.

But Barcelona is different, they have to win this game, and if they lose, the gap between them and Real Madrid will widen to as much as seven points, and there is little hope of winning the title, unless Real Madrid die in the final rounds.

Even if it is drawn, there is still a four-point gap, which is also unfavorable for Barcelona, so to put it bluntly, Barcelona is a road in Huashan, and only by doing Real Madrid can it be possible to seize a chance on the way to the championship, otherwise it can be directly announced that the league will give up winning the championship this season.

The second leg of the national derby will be played at the Camp Nou, which is Barcelona's home stadium, and they have to take advantage of their chances, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to lose to Real Madrid on their own home turf, and it could even lead to an overall drop in the team's morale, affecting the Champions League and Copa del Rey matches, which is absolutely not okay.

For them, this is a challenge, of course, but also an opportunity, after all, it is a home field, it has a certain advantage, not to mention in the first leg of the national derby, even at the Bernabeu Stadium, Barcelona played very well, and almost won Real Madrid, which also made them full of confidence in the second leg of the national derby.

There is no way back.

Behind it is the abyss.

The only way is to move forward and defeat the mighty Real Madrid giant in front of you, otherwise it will end up falling to your death.

The mood of the two sides was different before the game. It could also go back to the difference that led to the final outcome of the game.

Zinedine Zidane came to Catalonia with the Real Madrid players in a rather relaxed mood and came to Barcelona. Here, a life-and-death battle that belongs to Barcelona. The battle for glory for Real Madrid is about to begin.

There are national derbies every season, but every season is the top priority of La Liga, including fans in Europe and other parts of the world, even if not fans of these two teams, they will follow this kind of game, and that's how big it is.

……

There is no doubt that Real Madrid and Barcelona are certainly two of the most successful teams in the history of La Liga, and both teams have had periods of dominance that have terrified the whole of Europe.

It's like the Soviet Union and the United States. Their existence makes them completely impossible opponents, they are the two poles of the world, they are the two bosses, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are in La Liga, which is almost the case.

I don't know when it began, the two teams have become mortal enemies and enemies, and they can only completely trample each other under their feet. can show his strength, otherwise even if he wins the La Liga championship, it will be a shame to be killed by his opponent in the season.

If Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid form the Madrid derby, it is due to geographical factors. Then the national derby formed by Real Madrid and Barcelona is not like this at all, it is more important. It is a duel that is reflected in the strength of the two teams, and who is the first club in La Liga.

So in the seasons before Lin Yu joined Real Madrid. Barcelona fans are generally happier as they have put Real Madrid under their feet. It makes them feel at ease.

They have won league titles, Champions League titles, etc., and the fans who envy Real Madrid are gritting their teeth one by one.

Although there will be occasional rebounds in the middle, it is ultimately no match for Barcelona's dominance.

But since Lin Yu came, everything has changed, Real Madrid is like a new vitality, the league, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, the Super Cup, the Club World Cup, they have won almost all the championships they can win, and they even beat Barcelona in consecutive seasons, which made Barcelona a little dizzy.

This sense of humiliation makes many Barcelona fans a little unacceptable, and they have a helpless feeling of being bullied and humiliated, which is really a bit too aggrieved.

They have been clamoring for revenge, wanting to turn over, wanting to take back everything that belongs to them, but every time they play against Real Madrid, they come happily and return disappointed, which is really unhappy.

But this time, they seem to be full of confidence, this is their home stadium, and they are not as passive against Real Madrid this season, and they feel that maybe this season, this game, is the time for them to turn around.

……

The media tried to hype up the game before the game, trying to start a war of words, but this time they were disappointed, the whole Real Madrid team did not answer the stubble, and Barcelona also seemed to be focused on the game itself, unwilling to have a war of words at this time.

The reason why Lin Yu didn't answer the question was because his mind was also on the game, maybe for him, this game could even be regarded as a rehearsal for the Copa del Rey final, he wanted to see how much Barcelona had grown this season.

There were no arguments, no scolding, and the game was so calm that many fans felt a little depressed, as if the atmosphere was suffocating before the storm was coming.

The master of martial arts who has reached the realm of transformation no longer needs to deal with the enemy through intrigue and conspiracy, because all conspiracies and intrigues are in vain, and the real duel can only be face-to-face, and the victory or defeat is serious.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are like two masters of the transformation realm, they know each other very well, and in order to win this game, they are also fully prepared, and they are definitely not willing to lose to their opponents easily.

The two sides seem to be calm, but in fact, they have secretly gained strength, as if it is a kind of momentum duel.

……

The tournament came as scheduled.

Strangely, in this game, the fans of Barcelona behaved politely. When the two teams entered, they did not let out nasty boos and curses. Just cheer for your players and cheer for your players.

Maybe they found out too. The boos and scolding didn't have much effect on Lin Yu, or even for the whole of Real Madrid, instead of wasting his strength on it, it was better to simply cheer for his team.

At the very least, cheering and cheering can still have an effect, while boos and scolding may be counterproductive.

It's not that they've suddenly become polite and less vulgar, it's that they don't feel like they should do useless things.

It is impossible for them to forget the hatred of Real Madrid. It is impossible to forget the hatred for Lin Yu, if Lin Yu wants to join Manchester City, then Manchester City fans will welcome it, but if Lin Yu wants to join Barcelona, it may not be, maybe there will be a large number of fans who will protest directly in front of the club.

This is hatred, resentment from the depths of our hearts, and we would rather be defeated by you than become our man. Because then, we can't get revenge, it's too unpleasant.

Why did Cao Ang's mother leave Cao Cao back then? It is because Cao Cao not only did not avenge his son, but also accepted the enemy as his subordinate. Cao Cao could accept it, but Cao Ang's mother couldn't.

Why was Liu Bei willing to risk defeat to attack Wu back then? In the end, the company camp was set on fire! Didn't he really know that Zhuge Liang's suggestion was right? He knew, but he couldn't tolerate his brother being killed by Wu Guo. But he can't do anything about it, he has to take revenge. Even if it's death, even if it's losing your country.

Some hatred is tolerable. And some hatred cannot be endured.

……

With the referee's whistle, the fans in the Barcelona stands let out earth-shattering cheers and the game began.

The two experienced masters know each other very well, so at the beginning of the game, there is no need to spy on each other at all, and they just make a move.

Barcelona has been trained by Klopp, and now it has basically abandoned the style of play that is on the spot, although there are still a lot of cooperation, and there are also a lot of passes, but more are short passes in the running and moving.

Jurgen Klopp has combined his style of play from his time at Borussia Dortmund with Barcelona's own style of play to create a style of play that is more suited to the team today.

He believes that this style of play is more advanced than the previous Dortmund style of play, and it is also better than the previous Barcelona style of play.

But no matter how good the style of play, it has to be based on results, so if he can win this game, then he can justify his tactics!

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona played very aggressively, they firmly controlled the ball, launched frequent attacks, trying to rely on home advantage, preemptively take advantage of the score, so that the next game will be easy to play.

Seeing their own team dominant, Barcelona's fans have become even louder, and nowadays, there are very few teams that can achieve a statistical advantage in front of Real Madrid, and it is undoubtedly commendable that Barcelona can do this.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, played more conservatively at the beginning, after all, on other people's turf, you always have to guard against traps and ambushes, if you play too impulsively, it is in line with other wishes.

Defend and counterattack.

That's right, that's the strategy Zidane developed for this game, and because of that, he put Khedira and David in the midfield position. Luiz, while full-backs used Cesar Azpilicueta and Callas.

These are all players who are more good at defending.

The center-back partners are Ramos and Varane, who are more stable, and there is actually no one else to use. Luis and Callas are on the pitch.

In terms of the midfield, he sent Pogba with stronger ball control ability and stronger body, and the key Pogba also has a long-range shot is very powerful.

The three people in front of them have not changed, Royce, Lin Yu, and Bell, the three fast horses, are good materials for counterattacks.

Zidane is a "stable" word, he is not complacent because of the previous double defeat of Barcelona, he always believes that Barcelona has always been the team that threatens Real Madrid, so this game, even if it is a draw in the end, he can accept it, as long as he does not lose.

Why defend and counterattack? That's why.

……

In fact, if you look at the championship situation, even if Real Madrid loses this game, it is acceptable, as long as you don't lose too badly, if you lose too badly, it will form a chain reaction, and in the end it may even lead to a decline in team morale, and the games are not played well one after another, then it is really bad.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Zidane will seek stability, even if he can't win, he must not lose, the impact of the defeat is too serious for them, and in the end it may affect the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, and the league.

Of course, these are all strategies based on Zidane's prudence, but Barcelona are not so terrible, and if they really want to slaughter Real Madrid, it is really unlikely.

Perhaps because of this, in this game, although the players of Real Madrid were pressed more badly, no one was nervous, and if they were not nervous, they would not make mistakes easily, and if they did not make mistakes, they would not give the other party a chance.

Some people may say, what if you relax too much, wouldn't you become a light enemy?

Don't worry about this, now that Barcelona is so pressed, it can't be done if you want Real Madrid's players to completely relax. (To be continued......)
