605 National Derby
On November 30, 2008, in the thirteenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Barcelona. At the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid fans entered the stadium in droves an hour before the start of the game, waiting for the kick-off of the game.
National derby, every year there is a national derby. But today's National Derby is the most highly valued. The senior management of both teams, as well as various celebrities, came to the scene.
Real Madrid's Di Stefano, who had not been seen for a long time, came to the scene. Di Stéfano is already eighty-two years old and has not been on the scene for a long time due to physical reasons. But as soon as Di Stefano came, no matter who he was, he had to stand up and say hello. After all, Di Stefano was the king of football in the fifties of the last century, and he was once the best player in world football. Before Pele came out, Di Stefano was the king of the ball. His status at Real Madrid is even more transcendent, he is the first among Real Madrid's famous legends, and he is the honorary president of Real Madrid. With Di Stéfano coming, Florentino had to give up the middle position and let Di Stéfano sit.
Of course, it's the same with Barcelona. Barcelona's Emperor Cruyff was also present in person. Cruyff is more than anyone else has a reason to come here. Because Mourinho was not able to enter Barcelona at the beginning, it was because of Cruyff. Now Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is Cruyff's proud disciple, if it weren't for Cruyff's support, how could Barcelona let a rookie like Guardiola become the head coach of Barcelona. Today was the first clash between Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, and Cruyff will of course have to come and see it.
In addition to these celebrities and high-level executives, many top agents in European football also came to the scene. It's like Rist, Carvajal. There is also the Portuguese agent predator Mendes, Alonso's agent Ibáñez, Kaka's father. There is also Henry's agent Jerome. Anderson, Pep Guardiola's agent Orobiteg, Pep Guardiola's brother Pere. Pep Guardiola.
These brokers are the current broker predators, or the future broker predators. They control a lot of player resources in European football, and they are all figures who can be on an equal footing with many clubs.
"It's spectacular."
Rist shook his head. It is estimated that few national derbies have attracted as much attention as they do today. In the first two years, the national derby was even a bit bleak. But today's national derby is the attention of the whole world.
"Real Madrid and Barcelona are both rebuilding and they are doing very well now. It was their first collision since rebuilding. Of course, it attracts a lot of attention. ”
Carvajal nodded. Carvajal said. This season has not been very happy. Because Carvajal has come to this point because it is Real Madrid's flag player Raul. However, Raul has been in good form this season, but he can only be a substitute. Two starts, five substitute appearances. Four goals were scored. However, Raul's decline in status at Real Madrid is obvious. Fortunately, Carvajal still has Casillas as an ace player.
"Gines. Which one do you like? ”
Rist watched as the two sides had begun to line up. So casually asked Carvajal. Carvajal looked to the side and made sure that no one heard the two of them before whispering, "Do you know the truth?" Before the game, Mourinho and Real Madrid's top brass were in a bad mood. ”
"Are the rumors true?"
There are no impermeable walls in the world. The Real Madrid hierarchy demanded that Mourinho must attack. can't play the turtle defense that Mourinho played before, such news has long been poked out by the media. It's just that Real Madrid didn't admit it, and even Mourinho flatly denied it.
"Yes. I heard that when Mourinho and Baldano were talking, they slapped the table. ”
"Tut-tut. Real Madrid is looking for their own death. Will Mourinho still be able to endure it? ”
Rist and Mourinho don't have much to do with each other, but they also know his temper. He's not a man who can get angry, and he's not a coach who can get outsiders to point fingers at his team.
"This is Real Madrid, after all."
"No, no. Jose Mourinho is tough, but not someone who accepts it like that. ”
Real Madrid, Real Madrid. It's been five years since there was no championship, and the more you toss at this time, the more you can't do it, since you have made Mourinho the manager, you should believe him. Instead of interfering with them.
"Doot-doo-"
The national derby has finally kicked off in the face of all the antiquity.
"Hello everyone, this is the Bernabeu. Real Madrid hosts Barcelona. Let's take a look at the starting line-up of the home team Real Madrid, the goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Marcelo, Metzelde, Pepe, Ramos, and the midfielder is Russ. Diarra, Harvey. Alonso, Kaka, Joaquin, Ribery, and Cristiano up front. Ronaldo. ”
"On Barcelona's side, goalkeeper Valdés, at the back are Alves, Puyol, Pique, Abidal, in midfield, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Arshavin, and in the forward line, Thierry Henry. Barcelona sent six Academy players in this game. Pep Guardiola is a Barcelona youth academy player and was previously the manager of Barça B. It looks like he's going to make big use of Barça's academy players. ”
Both sides fielded their most powerful combinations. Real Madrid's current squad is the best team in Real Madrid, but it is not the squad that Mourinho has in mind. Jose Mourinho has studied Barcelona, and he doesn't think that the current squad can stop Barcelona.
The heart of Real Madrid's midfield is Marcos Alonso, who is a very good midfield player. But again, Real Madrid's biggest weakness at the moment is also Alonso. Although Alonso is a Spanish player, possession, getting rid of and breaking through are not his strengths. And Barcelona's dream three, many people say that it is characterized by control. But Dream San's control was completed by the crazy counter-robbery of the Barcelona players in the front court and the off-ball running in the front court.
Therefore, Mourinho would have liked to add another man in midfield to protect Alonso. However, the Real Madrid hierarchy directly interfered with Mourinho's arrangement, and Mourinho directly sent everyone on the field.
'Alonso, Thierry Henry came over and grabbed the ball. Andres Iniesta, who was next to him, also came over. ”
This kind of aggressive counter-attack in the front court of Barcelona players is one of the biggest characteristics of Dream Three. They use aggressive running to complete numerical superiority within a small area. Alonso faced the siege of several people, but could only pass the ball out. Because his possession and getting rid of the ball is not his strong point. However, he passed the ball in a bit hastily, so he was not comfortable handing it to his teammates.
'Alonso handed the ball to Kaka. Kaka, Busquets, Busquets broke Kaka's ball. Sergio Busquets is a young player who is only 20 years old, and he can even overwhelm Yaya. Toure and Keita got the starting XI. Judging from the game, Busquets has a strong positional ability. ”
'Sergio Busquets, give the ball to Xavi. Xavi handed the ball to Arshavin, who returned the ball to Xavi again. Xavi handed the ball to Iniesta, who returned the ball to Xavi again. Xavi, the ball was given to Messi. ”
The whole Real Madrid mentality is completely problematic. Jose Mourinho wants to defend and counter-attack, but the hierarchy wants to attack. Therefore, Mourinho can only set up an attack, so the Real Madrid players also want to attack. But now that it has encountered Barcelona's reverse ball, Real Madrid has no clear defensive ideas. Xavi kept passing the ball between several players, and after a bonus twenty seconds of hypnosis, he suddenly handed the ball to Messi.
"Messi, Messi got the ball. Messi, Marcelo are you a winger. I suspect that Marcelo, bought by Real Madrid, is a winger, not a defender. ”
The narrators are all satirical about Marcelo. Because Marcelo is simply not a defender's defensive action, coming up to grab the ball after Messi gets the ball is completely amateur action. Messi simply accelerated to the right, without any feints, and Marcelo was passed.
"Messi is going into the box, Marcelo is chasing back."
"Messi smashes the ball, Marcelo, penalty! Penalty kick! I'm going to say Marcelo, are you playing? Is he going to play street football? ”
The narrator thinks Marcelo is too hilarious. Messi broke through Marcelo for the first time, and after entering the penalty area, he immediately shook Marcelo in the face of the chasing Marcelo. Marcelo made another amateur move in the face of Messi, stretching his foot and tripping Messi.
Mourinho couldn't laugh or cry as he watched Marcelo's amateur moves. Jose Mourinho is one of the top defensive coaches in European football, and the teams he has coached are extremely tough defensively. But when it comes to Real Madrid, it turns out that players like Marcelo are going to be transformed. Jose Mourinho has had his side with poor defensive players, but this is the first time he has defended as an amateur like Marcelo.
"The Real Madrid player told the referee that it was not a penalty. If you want me to say that this goal is an unmistakable penalty, how can the Real Madrid players be embarrassed to protest to the referee. The only way to blame is Marcelo's lack of brains. It was a penalty without any problems. ”
"Penalty, penalty. Messi has already come up, and this penalty is Messi's penalty! ”
"Messi, shoot!"
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"One to zero. Just seven minutes into the game, Barcelona were leading Real Madrid 1-0 on the road. ”
"Shhh
The Bernabeu fans booed their displeasure. Mourinho, who usually plays the leading role on the pitch, sits there very coldly, as if losing the ball doesn't care about him.
"Real Madrid is not unified at all. I don't see if Real Madrid are going to attack or defend. ”
Rist looked at it for a moment, then shook his head. It should be said that the current Real Madrid is very strong. Cristiano. Ronaldo is the perfect centre-forward player, plus the triple shot of Ribery, Kaka and Joaquin. If Real Madrid can play according to Mourinho's tactics, maybe they can really beat Barcelona.
"yes. This game is difficult. (To be continued......)
