"Barcelona's opening attack today did not go well, Messi and Neymar both seemed to have lost their dribbling magic, and so far in the opening game, they have not been able to create dangerous chances near the Real Madrid penalty area.

The defensive tempo of Leon and Casemiro is simply suffocating! This kind of defensive pressure does not really match the Real Madrid we know in recent years.

It has a strong Mourinho style, brought from the Premier League by Leon, but I think Real Madrid are playing this kind of defensive quality at the moment and that's what Carlo Ancelotti wants to see......

The Italian coach's record against Barcelona in the past three years is really not outstanding, but from now on, he should find a magic weapon to curb Barcelona's pass-and-control tactics! ”

The commentator of the Spanish Movistar sports channel gave Real Madrid a high rating of the quality of the opening defense at this moment.

This kind of Real Madrid is unfamiliar to many fans, because in the past three seasons, Real Madrid has not paid so much attention to the pressure of the opponent's attack in the opening stage of the game.

Not to mention the importance of defense in the key game against Barcelona.

In the face of Barcelona's offensive last season, Real Madrid will only choose to fight hard and play against Barcelona.

This is not only a manifestation of Ancelotti's tactical intentions, but also an extension of the will of Real Madrid's top management.

Jose Mourinho's football philosophy has brought Real Madrid a heavyweight title.

But in fact, every fan who has followed Real Madrid's games in those years knows that Florentino still wants Real Madrid to play more beautifully and better.

After breaking up with Mourinho, Real Madrid's top management chose the more "obedient" Ancelotti to coach the team, which is precisely in this regard.

But as the old saying goes, you can't have it both ways.

At that time, Lafayette chose to achieve results first, so he tolerated Mourinho's tactical style, so as to lead Real Madrid to rise strongly and dominate Europe again.

And now, the Real Madrid game that has chosen to play is getting better and better, but the results of the tough battle have always been unsatisfactory, and it has been suppressed by the sworn rival Barcelona in La Liga for many years.

Li Ang doesn't know if Lafayette has regretted letting Lao Mu go in the past three years, he met with Lafayette after returning to Real Madrid, and talked a lot in private, but he never talked about this issue of revealing scars.

But what he is certain of now is that Ancelotti's tactical choice to prove himself has been eclectic.

And An Pang has always liked to delve into the well-known tactics of other coaches.

It has been three years since Jose Mourinho left Real Madrid, but the anti-backlash mark that he once imprinted on Real Madrid has not been completely erased with his departure.

After all, the main framework of the team has not changed, and most of the main players of Real Madrid are now in the Real Madrid first team.

Playing the tactics that they were once familiar with and being asked to put more energy into defending is not a problem for these current Real Madrid stars.

As long as Ancelotti needs it, they can always pick up the counter-attacking tactics of the same Muslim Real Madrid team at any time.

At most, it will take some time to review and get used to it.

With the core of the midfield that has been immersed in Mu tactics for many years, the adaptation time for the Real Madrid team to return to the old style of play has been greatly shortened.

Ancelotti made up his mind before the crucial battle with Barcelona, after all, the tactical legacy left by his predecessor is too rich, and the super high winning rate of playing Barcelona is also there, so there is no need to use it in vain!

So there was the scene of Real Madrid forcibly stifling Barcelona's offensive penetration at the beginning of today's national derby.

Tough confrontation, extreme pressing, and the familiar constant disconnection of the rhythm of the game!

When the defensive rhythm that Real Madrid was best at in the past reappeared, all Barcelona fans were wailing in their hearts!

At the moment, Ancelotti, who was sitting firmly in the Real Madrid coach's seat, calmly drank some water, and then appreciated the chain defense played by his own team.

As an Italian poker coach, it's impossible not to learn how to defend your game.

Carlo Ancelotti may not be one of the best coaches to defend in Italy, but he also has a solid foundation in chain defence.

Therefore, he can understand Mourinho's tactical thinking very well, and he also tried to add a little "material" to this set of pressing tactics.

Luckily, the three midfielders who executed his tactics were 100 per cent dedicated.

Even Modric, who seems to be the most "literary", has a surprisingly large defensive coverage area, and his defensive skills are not bad at all.

If Leon and Casemiro carried the frontal battle on the defensive end, then Modric can be said to be a good partisan player.

It just so happens that Barcelona does not have a strong center forward in the frontcourt, and with Modric's physical fitness, he can play around any of Barcelona's strikers.

And as long as he can pull down the advancing speed of the Barcelona ball carrier, the tiger-eyed Leon will see the right time to come up and give a ruthless!

Seeing Real Madrid's active defensive rhythm in the opening period, Ancelotti could only silently apologize to his former favorite James in his heart.

If he still uses James now, it will be impossible for Real Madrid to play such effective defensive pressing, whether it is to replace Modric or Casemiro.

It cannot be said that the reason why Real Madrid have always lost to Barcelona in the league in the past few seasons is that he has reused James.

But at least that has an impact, and now it's time for a change.

It was the national derby that would determine the fate of James James to stay at Real Madrid.

Facts speak louder than all words, as long as he can lead the team to suppress and defeat Barcelona this time, then Ancelotti can only make a decision to choose.

He's a good guy, but he's also a coach who wants to win.

In the face of victory, all personal relations need to be compromised.

He could explain to Hames in private, even apologize.

But now, he just wants to win!

……

Real Madrid's defensive suppression of Barcelona continued, and after Real Madrid invested more troops in the midfield strangulation, Barca's seemingly strong midfield advantage was completely neutralized.

And Leon is not in a hurry to lead the team to counterattack today, because this time node is not yet the time to take risks.

The correct timing of the counterattack should be at least 20 minutes back.

Usually at that time, Messi, who has not been able to break through or shoot for a long time, will always retreat to get the ball and try to pull Real Madrid's midfield defense.

Li Ang knows Messi's habit too well.

When Messi was still at the peak of his personal strength, he would always rely on the trick of retreating to get the ball and colliding with his teammates to forcibly tear apart the opponent's defense.

He can make a "chicken kill" with a matchless, or cut into the opponent's hinterland and force a shot with his feet.

But after so many years, if Messi still plays like this now, his strength is not enough to make mistakes for him.

Li Ang feels that Messi's stubborn kick will be a good point to use.

Xavi or Iniesta, who were squeezed out of the space by Messi to get the ball in the midfield, will definitely be passively forward at that time.

And their actions will also lead Barcelona's two full-backs to participate in the attack.

When there is only one Busquets left in the Barcelona midfield as a defensive barrier, then Real Madrid's counterattack will directly stab Barcelona's defense to the bottom!

Of course, if Messi doesn't make this kind of mistake again, then Real Madrid will certainly have other counter-attacking options.

Still, Leon trusted his instincts.

Or rather, he believes in the superstar's dependence and overconfidence in his own strength.

The game time continued to pass, Li Ang was not in a hurry, and the rest of the Real Madrid players naturally calmed down.

On the contrary, Barcelona, who was playing at home, was slow to open up the situation on the offensive end, and some players seemed a little impatient.

Neymar has thought about relying on his individual ability to break through the surface on the offensive end and drive the team's offensive rhythm.

But after being knocked to the ground by Leon and Pepe in succession, he decisively dismissed this unrealistic idea and turned to honestly cooperate with his teammates.

At this time, Neymar also misses his former teammate very much, Sanchez, who left Barcelona for Arsenal in the summer window this year.

Although Sanchez is not a little more interesting to play in the middle, he has a strong sense of forward insertion and outstanding personal technical ability, which can help him share the pressure of breaking through.

Now that Sanchez is gone, Turan has come up to play a false 9, and there is really no other trick except for one-handed organizational skills.

can't carry people, and one-on-one is generally not passable, Neymar is really full of slots for his "four dislike" teammates.

You said that you were good at Atletico Madrid as the core of the wing organization, why do you have to come to Barcelona!

Isn't it nice for Barcelona to have the money to get a serious center forward?!

Every day, some attacking players who don't play center play false 9s, and from time to time he has to switch positions to attract defenders in the middle of the midfield, and fight hand-to-hand with those central defenders!

What did he do at Barcelona?

The more Neymar thought about it, the more he felt bad, and his performance on the field became more and more "reasonable".

But without his wide breakthrough, Barcelona's methods of breaking the game are becoming more and more poor.

Messi saw the situation on the field, and his heart became anxious again, and he couldn't care about Li Ang's provocation in his eyes, and he made the old mistake and began to retreat frequently to get the ball.

At this time, the game on the field was exactly the twenty-ninth minute, and when Li Ang saw Messi's movements, the corners of his mouth also subconsciously curled.

Here we go!

Messi's retreat can help Barcelona improve the speed of ball transfer in the middle and back to a certain extent.

But just as Leon had thought, his pullback would also crowd out Xavi or Iniesta's playmaking.

The forced forward position of the two led to the advancement of Barca's overall offensive line.

And the most lethal thing is the frequent insertion of Alba and Alves.

Barcelona's two full-backs are playing the same way as wingers at the moment, especially Alves, who even stepped forward to the edge of the Real Madrid penalty area!

This will naturally put pressure on Real Madrid's backline, but correspondingly, Barcelona's midfield has gradually become semi-vacuum!

Before all the Barcelona players could react, Leon had already predetermined his position and began to take many risks to press forward and intercept.

His initial goal was not to target Messi, or that he intended to do so, to let Messi continue to hold the ball in the midfield and try to break through.

But in the 34th minute of the first half, Messi retreated to receive the ball near the halfway line and turned to dribble against Modric.

Li Ang suddenly shot out from the flank, cooperated with Modric to directly defend Messi, and decisively and cruelly took the ball from Messi's feet!

Messi spread his hands and looked at the referee as soon as he lost the ball, but the referee did not make any moves, and Messi did not chase back to participate in the defense at the first time.

In the blink of an eye, Real Madrid switched from defense to attack!

Leon decisively knocked the ball to the inserted Modric, who only made a brief observation, and then sent the outside instep pass to the right!

At this moment, Bale, who has been inserted at high speed on the right side, is like no one, Alba is still desperately chasing back, but Bale does not give him the opportunity to shorten the gap between the two positions, and strides forward!

Benzema was not in a hurry to step forward to grab the point, but almost pressed Pique's side to run, which made neither Pique nor Mascherano dare to let his guard down against him.

And Benzema's clever running bought Ronaldo and Leon enough time to step forward.

By the time Pique realized something was wrong, Real Madrid had already formed three outflanking points in the penalty area!

However, Barcelona only has two defenders who are in place first, and Professor Bu has already been thrown out of position by Li Ang, and he is still chasing back!

Bale didn't hesitate too much, and directly chose the inverted triangle back pass, and passed the ball to Li Ang, who deliberately slowed down at the moment and had just stepped into the Barcelona penalty area!

Mascherano had no choice but to gamble and pounce on Leon.

But in the next moment, under his desperate gaze, Li Ang easily sent the ball to the left side of his body!

Ronaldo rushed to the ball and shot directly at Leon's suitable ball, without any adjustment!

The Portuguese king's performance in the first few rounds was not excellent, but at this moment, at this critical moment, his shooting skills showed the style of a superstar, and he hit a fatal blow!

When the football flew into the gate guarded by Ter Stegen, Ronaldo roared and rushed to the bottom line of Barcelona's half!

Leon jumped up behind him, rode on his back and roared with the live camera in front of the live camera!

He didn't say anything at the moment, but it was as if he had said everything, and his unwavering support for Ronaldo was best rewarded at this moment!

After Ronaldo vented his emotions, he turned around and gave Leon a tight hug.

He thanked Li Ang for his clear support in the team, and even more thanked Li Ang for giving him a wonderful assist on the field.

He's such a simple player.

If you trust him, he will reward you, and if you are good to him, he will be good to you as well!

Real Madrid's other players then swarmed in.

They were excitedly celebrating the goal, but Messi, who was beaten back and lost the ball because of the loss of the ball, was pursed his lips and bowed his head, pacing back.

There was jubilation in front of Real Madrid's coaching box, and on Barcelona's side, Valverde, who couldn't sit still, had already walked to the sidelines and began to try to calm the anxiety of his disciples.

But to be honest, it's embarrassing to lose the ball at this point in time.

Valverde's appeasement didn't do much either.

When the game resumed, there was a brief confusion in Barcelona's tactical thinking

They may want to step up their attack and try to find an early equaliser.

But in the face of the defenders who are eyeing Real Madrid at the back, they seem to be a little hesitant when they think of the super counterattack played by Real Madrid just now.

Li Ang was squatting in the backcourt, and he subconsciously laughed when he saw this scene.

The rest of the Real Madrid players on the field are also heroic!

Come, keep attacking!

Barcelona I told you to keep attacking!
