Chapter Eighty-Nine: Iberia, Your Old Emperor Is Back! [Ask the bigwigs to subscribe! ] 】
"What the hell are you doing! Focus and focus your attention! This is the Bernabeu! How can we get them into our defensive third with such ease? What about interceptions in the middle? Why don't you foul on the wing?! We kicked like a piece of shit! Cheer me up! ”
In the center of the hustle and bustle, Puyol, who had just been overwhelmed by Ronaldo and failed to defend himself, roared angrily at his teammates!
He'll take full responsibility for the goal he conceded to protect his team-mates, but that's after the game.
Now he has to wake up the Barcelona players in front of him who look a little dazed.
Maybe it's because they've won too many trophies in the last few seasons and they're starting to slack off on the game.
In the opening game against Real Madrid today, they started to make mistakes in defence.
Puyol didn't understand how Busquets dared to let Real Madrid quickly sweep across the center line twice in a row to counterattack.
He also doesn't understand why Alves and Abidal's two defenses on the wing didn't directly foul and interrupt Real Madrid's attack!
Do they think that Real Madrid, which Mourinho has coached for a season, is still the same unbalanced team that only knows how to pile up stars and play attack?
"Forget all the so-called achievements of the past, it's time to cheer up! We just lost the Spanish Super Cup a few months ago! Forget! Whoever slacks off will apply for a break by himself! Barcelona can't afford to lose this man! Take out the spirit and fight with Real Madrid, fight to the end! ”
Puyol's blow dryer sprayed several defenders in Barcelona's backfield so much that they didn't dare to gasp.
Pique, who had the most relaxed performance before the game, will be even more embarrassed and turn his face a little.
Mouth back?
Forget it, this will make Pique dare to say a word to Puyol, and Puyol is afraid that he will not directly let him know what the real iron-blooded means are.
Busquets, who was in front, was also pointed out by Xavi and taught him a lesson.
Harvey was so angry in his heart, if he hadn't had a shorter leg just now, he would have stopped Leon directly.
However, it was his turn to make tactical fouls in that position, and it is conceivable how lax Barcelona's previous midfield defense was.
The two bigwigs in the midfield and backfield taught a lesson and alerted, but it also cleared the minds of other players on Barcelona's side a lot.
It's hard to hear, but to be honest, they really deserve to scold.
It's better to be scolded by your own boss than to be "cordially greeted" by the fans after the game.
"A 0-1 situation, and some fights, as long as we don't make mistakes ourselves!"
Many Barcelona players will have similar thoughts, wanting to quickly find the field to equalize in the next game.
But is that really the case?
Pep Guardiola saw it clearly from the sidelines and now he just feels that the game has gone completely beyond his expectations.
It's tricky!
Mourinho has worked out more detailed tactical details in terms of limiting Barca's midfield advantage and Messi a few months ago.
When the game resumed, Barcelona, whose morale had rebounded, thought that this time they would be able to reach Real Madrid's half more efficiently than before.
But when they hit Real Madrid's dense and compact midfield defense again, they found that they really thought too much!
Real Madrid's set of all members actively running and defending, and can quickly form a strong defensive side of the game in any way, really ate Barcelona!
Play as a whole, Real Madrid will fight with you if you stick to the middle line, and if you don't take the initiative, you won't give too many opportunities to play the ball behind you.
Spell breaking point, today's Barcelona only has one Messi is an efficient assault point, and it is really a little bit worse to go to Sanchez in La Liga.
And the fans of Barcelona looked at this meeting, almost completely pulled to the side and Messi one-on-one, and immediately felt extremely irritable.
Marcelo pressed directly to the halfway line and joined Cristiano Ronaldo in defensively disrupting Alves and Iniesta.
Leon's delay may not be enough to get back to lock Messi, but his interference will give Marcelo plenty of time to catch up on the wide defence.
Or more directly, when Messi successfully received the ball and began to do offensive advancement, Leon dragged back to jam Messi's inward position, and Marcelo could quickly return to defend Messi from behind.
Because every player in Real Madrid's midfield is very active in chasing back today, the vacated position of Li Ang will naturally have Khedira or Brother Long to help him fill it.
As for the frequent pinch fouls on Messi, will Barcelona have some set-piece opportunities in front?
As long as the distance is not enough, Barcelona can't play a direct free kick, and Real Madrid is not afraid.
This is completely Real Madrid's strength, and if Barcelona really expects Pico Gapuyol to create a set-piece miracle, then Real Madrid will really be happy.
To put it bluntly, what Mourinho and every Real Madrid player are most afraid of is the sudden change in the situation brought about by Messi's sudden explosion.
After all, Messi is proficient in passing and shooting, and putting him in any area of Real Madrid's hinterland is a big threat.
There is nothing to admit about this, perhaps precisely because Real Madrid now take Messi's threat seriously enough.
So the game has been played so far, Real Madrid can still firmly lead Barcelona's nose at the tactical end.
And Barcelona obviously underestimated Real Madrid's counter-attacking threat and Cristiano Ronaldo's horror in the final end before the game.
So they were stunned shortly after the opening.
This is not only a tactical victory for Mourinho, but also a victory for the whole Real Madrid team in terms of psychology and attitude.
Real Madrid successfully gave Barcelona a "big surprise", and now it seems that Barcelona's pre-match preparation is too little, too little.
is still using the past set to prepare sanctions against Real Madrid, really.
I'm lazy!
However, Messi's fighting spirit is still not said.
He sensed something was wrong with the whole team, but he wasn't good at words, so instead of lecturing, he wanted to inspire confidence in his teammates with his individual performances.
This trick actually works very well.
Who has put Messi in the almost best period of his personal physical and technical combination right now?
He can have this wayward privilege tactically.
And the Barcelona players also believe in their aces as always.
Leon was once again dealt a heavy blow.
It is very uncomfortable to be used as a stake and be cleaned twice in ten minutes.
But even if he is a stake, he has to be the hardest, toughest, most annoying stake!
Small action, stuck position, was passed, and with the help of teammates, he took a shortcut and stuck in front of Messi again in a favorable position
Real Madrid fans can see that Leon will face the reluctance of the explosive Messi.
But his kraft candy defensive strategy just worked magically!
Not every time it works, but when Leon played Messi awkwardly most of the time, Real Madrid fans were really satisfied!
"Good boy!"
Karanka watched Leon once again wait for his teammates to help defend in the entanglement with Messi, forcing Messi to knock the ball sideways.
Finally, he couldn't help but slam his fist on the coach's seat and praised Li Ang fiercely.
Mourinho has some unbearability in his eyes.
Let Li Ang be embarrassed by Messi under the attention of countless fans, to be honest, this is cruel.
It's also a very mental shock for the average young player.
But Mourinho has no other way, he has to make a tactical exchange with Messi, and if he redeems Messi, he will win the game!
At this moment, Leon's firm words before the game that showed determination also echoed in Mourinho's mind at the right time.
"Don't worry, boss, I understand, if I lose, the team wins, then I will win!"
This sentence, full of self-awareness and tactical sacrifice, made Mourinho's heart warm.
His heart is steady, very steady.
He knew that Li Ang didn't blame him, he knew even more that Li Ang understood him!
"Little lion, stand up to him! Resist this current first person in football, we, we want to win together! ”
※※※
"Aren't you tired? You look good today, but I know you're pushing on and you're going to get tired."
Messi wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched Iniesta pass the ball back again, pursed the corners of his mouth and began to pace back.
As for the nagging that seemed to be talking to himself, he was used to it.
"Leo, save me some face, I've been miserable enough by you today, and you can't bear to see me make a fool of myself in front of the fans all over the world, right?"
When Messi heard this, he finally couldn't help but roll his eyes and choked back.
"No, I'd love to see that!"
"Then you say, how do you want me to be 'gentle' with me."
Messi stopped talking, was silent for a long time, and suddenly threw another sentence at Li Ang.
"You go to the other side to defend Sanchez."
"Damn, you're so cruel to your teammates? That's not good, I'm going to follow you today, you change the conditions. ”
“.”
Messi was laughed at by Leon, pushed Leon, and then hurriedly retreated to catch the ball.
Li Ang complained and complained, but as he said, he followed Messi today, and his attention was completely on Messi.
Seeing that Messi retreated past the halfway line, he stopped again and smiled meaningfully at Messi.
Iniesta, who was organized in the back, was tired of watching, from the Spanish Super Cup before the season to now, Li Ang was stunned to follow Messi for two and a half games.
The race went on for almost thirty-five minutes.
I really can't get tired of running!
Messi was so annoyed that he didn't want to talk, so he took the ball and began to rush forward from the middle!
Seeing this, Cesc Fabregas quickly switched to the right side where Messi often stays, and completely gave up the area in the middle.
Li Ang followed Messi's rushing pace and began to retreat to mark, Messi did not change direction, he did not move.
However, just when the two were about to enter the third zone of Real Madrid's defense together, Messi made the first move.
After taking two steps to the right with his left foot to lead the ball, Messi quickly completed the instantaneous second change of direction with his right foot!
But in an instant, Messi's pupils rapidly dilated, and under his incredible gaze, Leon was very bold and took a step ahead of him to decisively complete the interception action of the shovel in the direction of his breakthrough!
Shovel on the ground without the slightest reservation!
After Leon made a defensive prediction this time, just like Messi had given him a clean life several times before.
There is no chance of remedy for Messi at all!
After losing the ball, Messi tripped on Leon's calf with his right foot and fell forward.
And Li Ang, who got up for the first time, didn't care about how the referee would blow his defense this time, and directly knocked the ball diagonally to Alonso, who had already begun to step forward!
Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas immediately raised their arms and shouted at the referee, signaling that it was a defensive foul on Leon.
But the referee on duty was too close to the place of the incident just now, and he could see it clearly.
Leon made a tackle first, blocked possession, and didn't make any defensive extras.
This is a standard, extremely beautiful tackle action.
No fouls!
As soon as the referee made the gesture for the game to continue, Alonso stretched his body and sent his very personal flat long pass!
Just two seconds later, the long ball, which spanned half the pitch, found Cristiano Ronaldo on the left flank.
And for Ronaldo, it was not difficult to unload this long ball with great strength, on the contrary, his offloading was perfect.
Almost unloaded, Ronaldo rushed past Alves' pursuit in one go, and then sent a big arc cross to the middle of Barcelona's big penalty area in a high-speed dribble!
Benzema, who was slightly overspeeding in the run, chuckled in his heart.
It's okay to force a dueling, but he's going to have to wait for the ball and he's probably not going to be able to do it.
So under the flash of lightning, Benzema gave up the plan to shoot directly.
He took the first step with his back and leaned tightly against Pique, and without letting Pique exert enough strength, he jumped up and down, completing a lateral ferry with a header!
This spiritual ball caught almost all the Barcelona defenders off guard!
The forward face brother Khedira did not rush into the box to shoot this time.
Because he saw a figure who cut inside faster into the box.
Di Maria was in the perfect position to land the ball and stopped with his right foot in the middle of the box.
The unloading force was very comfortable, and the football was very obedient and did not roll out of his expected range.
After taking a deep breath, Di Maria ran without the slightest hesitation, and hit a smooth shot again on the right side of the Barcelona penalty area!
The direction of the position is almost exactly the same as the shot he hit in the opening stage, that is, closer to the goal, his power is more sufficient, and he shoots with more certainty!
Valdés was slightly distracted by the presence of Pique and Benzema, but his prediction was not wrong, again above the far corner.
But this time, he didn't save Di Maria's shot again.
The spinning ball almost rubbed against the junction of the post and the crossbar and plunged headlong into the far corner of the net!
This is an absolute, 100% "100% corner goal"!
Don't talk about him Valdés, today is the peak Buffon to guard the Barcelona goal.
The goal is also set!
"Ahhh——!!!!hhh
The moment Di Maria saw the football hit the net, she opened her mouth wide and roared and was about to go straight to the bottom line!
Khedira was the first to rush forward and hugged him with the same roar, followed by Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Arbeloa
Exploded! The atmosphere at the Bernabeu exploded like an explosion!
All the Real Madrid fans jumped and hugged each other in the stands like crazy!
The meaningless words in their mouths came together to form a huge and impactful sound, which swept the entire stadium in an instant!
Jose Mourinho and the Real Madrid players on the bench rushed out together and ran to the corner flag area where the starters celebrated passionately!
Who can bear this?!
I can't help it!
Forget about the Spanish Super Cup that Barcelona fans don't recognize!
Just today, on the field of La Liga!
Real Madrid led Barcelona 2-0 at half-time!
The passionate Mourinho rushed straight to the back of a certain Real Madrid starter with a single jump.
And when the fans came back to their senses after the celebration, they instantly noticed the figure of Li Ang holding Mourinho on his back and shouting towards the south stands!
He Wei and Xu Yang also laughed after the passionate commentary.
The tacit understanding of the master and apprentice at the moment is destined to become the focus of discussion in the media after the game.
But the Real Madrid fans loved it very much, and they gave Leon and Mourinho even louder cheers in return!
Morale is full, and so is self-confidence!
Real Madrid, who won the half-time 2-0 result, completely suppressed Barcelona in terms of momentum!
Even in the rest of the first half, Real Madrid contracted to defend in their own half, but the momentum completely overwhelmed Barcelona's side, completely cutting off Barcelona's offensive rhythm!
After entering the half-time break, there are too many tactical options for Real Madrid's side, with a two-goal advantage in hand, and there are articles to do between attack and defense.
Barcelona's tactical choice is extremely passive, because they can only attack, and launch a wild attack at any cost!
Jose Mourinho replaced Khedira with Las Diarra at the start of the second half, and his intention to further strengthen the defensive sweep in the middle could not have been more obvious.
Barcelona fans watched Real Madrid's substitutions as disgusted as flies.
But there is no way, who let them lose the ball first, and one more loss is two goals!
I didn't withstand the pressure and was almost broken at halftime, so I could only grit my teeth and fight back.
So throughout the second half, the tone of the game was almost that Real Madrid seized the opportunity to resolutely defend and counterattack, and Barcelona couldn't take care of the loopholes in the defensive line in the backfield, so they could only try to put their troops into the attack and replace the defense with offense!
Real Madrid did not completely defend the half, and there was still a chance to stab Barcelona again, and Barcelona even pressed the whole line and vowed to chase two goals in a row.
The pace of the game was intense, and countless neutral fans were addicted to it!
In the seventy-sixth minute of the second half, Messi used himself as bait and used a big slash straight plug after a breakthrough to help Villa, who came on as a substitute, finally got a single chance to score a goal and pull back a city!
The fans at the scene of Barcelona were also completely excited at this meeting, watching Barcelona's more and more crazy offensive and cheering feverishly!
But at this critical juncture, Li Ang once again united with Brother Long to cut off the ball from the feet of Messi, who was in great physical strength.
In the face of the Barcelona frontcourt players who rushed up with all their strength to interrupt the rhythm of Real Madrid's counterattack, Li Ang did not seek to get rid of the opportunity, but decisively knocked the ball back.
Ramos sent a long ball that spanned almost half of the pitch with plenty of observation and room to get off his feet!
Once again, Benzema played the perfect role as the perfect fulcrum up front to sweep the ball down the right before Sergio Busquets fouled.
Di Maria put a cover on the edge of Arbeloa, helping the latter to make a successful bottom.
Arbeloa got past Abidal and delivered a crucial cross.
And Ronaldo, who overtook Puyol at the back point, also used a close-angle push to completely kill the suspense of the game!
Ronaldo's expression is already hideous!
After taking off his jersey, he stood on the bottom line and roared, venting his frustration and frustration at the feet of Barcelona many times in the past two seasons!
Pep Guardiola covered his eyes in pain.
From tactics to psychological preparation, this time, he was defeated, and he was completely defeated.
Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, seems to have suddenly returned to a year and a half ago.
Also at the Bernabeu Stadium, standing in the same position, he smiled and looked at the scoreboard, full of spirit!
Leon took a deep breath, then smiled completely relaxed.
All the Real Madrid players also let go of their caution at this moment and began to hug and high-five each other to celebrate this hard-won victory!
For three years, three whole years, they haven't beaten Barcelona once in La Liga!
And today, they are going to use this victory to defeat their biggest opponent head-on to announce to the outside world:
Iberia, your old emperor is back!
