Rossi pressed into the box and did not press Pique with the ball, but stood on the passing line between Pique and Lenglet.

Other Real Madrid players also pressed through the half, forming a 1-3-2 pressing formation to suppress Barcelona's passing lanes.

Zidane doesn't want to be conservative anymore and must take advantage of the morale boost after the goal to play a wave of attacks.

In the face of Real Madrid's heavy investment in the front, Barcelona's short pass coordination began to make mistakes.

Lenglet was under pressure from Rossi and when he moved the ball to the weak side, the power was too little and the ball was broken by Modric.

Real Madrid immediately launched a counter-attack, Modric repeated the coquettish pass with the outside of his foot, and Benzema nodded the ball over the top of the near post.

Three minutes later, Barcelona played the ball at the back and Casemiro scrambled to the first point to head it to Kroos.

The German midfielder shifted to the right, Bale cut forward at high speed, cut inside and flew off the bottom line by grazing the far post.

Real Madrid suddenly stepped up their attack, which made the exclamations of Barcelona fans come and go.

The Real Madrid fans who poured into Camp Nou, about 20,000 people, were very excited to see the team actually pressing Barcelona to play.

Real Madrid have been at a disadvantage in the national derby for nearly a decade and are prone to being beaten by big scores.

Especially in away games, it is very rare to be able to draw, let alone press the opponent.

Real Madrid fans have never seen this situation, and Barcelona fans have not expected it.

The team has introduced a lot of players this summer, and its strength has increased greatly, but it was pressed by Real Madrid.

Shouldn't it be a big win like 6:2 and 5:0?

No, this must not happen at Camp Nou.

The Barcelona fans shouted hoarsely, desperately waving the scarves in their hands, and the bruises on their necks bulged, vowing to defend the dignity of the home stadium.

Seeing that the team had difficulty playing the ball at the back, Griezmann took the initiative to retreat.

Compared with Messi, the young grid will have stronger physical fitness and running ability, and is suitable for sprinting back and forth.

Messi, on the other hand, continues to walk on the right side and conserve his strength as much as possible.

The addition of Griezmann has given Barcelona an additional point of contact at the back, and more selective passes.

Real Madrid's formation also began to retreat, avoiding Messi and Suarez, using their individual abilities to impact behind them.

Although Barcelona cracked Real Madrid's high pressure and successfully pushed the ball through the half, they still lost the ball under Real Madrid's fierce scramble.

Valverde knows that Real Madrid is in high spirits at the moment, and must not take half a step back, immediately let the formation press forward and fight back on the spot.

In an instant, Barcelona's backline was pressed to the halfway point.

Gerard Pique, as a trailing centre-back, shoulders the team's defence.

His target is Rosie.

Pique, who has suffered a big loss, has already treated Rossi as a top striker like Messi and is fully engrossed.

In the 42nd minute, Kroos was under pressure and prepared to pass back to the unmarked Carvajal.

At this time, Pique, who was near the center circle, turned back for a while to find Rossi's location.

Because Carvajal is highly likely to send the ball from behind him from the back.

Once the pass is successful and the defence is penetrated, then Rossi will use his movement and speed to form a one-on-one knife.

So, Pique immediately strode up and put Rossi in an offside position before Carvajal could catch the ball.

After seeing Rossi offside, Carvajal, who wanted to pass the ball, could only stop, take the ball back and pass it to Ramos.

Pique continued to look back for Rossi and found that he had retreated to near the halfway line, on the same level as full-back Roberto.

In this way, it is impossible for him to continue to create offside traps.

He had to admire Rossi's movement, always moving around the game and looking for opportunities.

Once Ramos had the ball, he could have had a chance to pass forward, and Pique immediately adjusted his defensive stance.

He stands sideways, leans back and can turn and intercept the ball as fast as he can once Ramos passes the ball behind him.

Bang!

At the moment of Ramos' pass, Pique started almost in the same position as Rossi.

Rossi was taken aback, he didn't expect that his cooperation with Ramos would be recognized by Pique.

In the midst of the struggle, Pique saw the moment and slid to the ground to cut the ball away from Rossi's feet.

There was a round of applause at the Camp Nou.

Fans may not know that in this attack and defense, Rossi and Pique have shown solid basic skills, which is a game of ball business awareness.

In three minutes of stoppage time, the two sides were too physically exhausted to organize a high-intensity attack, and could only end the first half flatly.

Back in the dressing room, Zidane gave the players a five-minute break as usual.

He himself looked at the tactical board, frowning and thinking.

Soon, five minutes were up, and Zidane turned around to see the player panting but with a determined look in his eyes.

He smiled.

The Real Madrid in front of him is no longer the Real Madrid that was pressed by Barcelona a few years ago.

At the Camp Nou, no matter what happens, their eyes are always full of fighting spirit.

"In the second half, the opponent will definitely attack, we have to be careful of their sudden speed!"

The goal conceded in the first half was Barcelona's sudden acceleration in the midfield after breaking the high pressing, giving Messi an excellent offensive space.

"Once they get out, the space behind them is our chance."

Zidane looked at Rossi and said, "Luo, are you confident?" In the last few minutes of the first half, you were stared at by Pique. ”

This sentence is obviously provoking Rossi.

As the main central defender of Barcelona and Spain, Pique has a solid defense and a high ball quotient, and even Ronaldo at his peak is limited by him.

Rossi changed into a clean white jersey and said, "No problem, sir, I will fight with him until the end of the game." ”

Zidane nodded with satisfaction, turned to Benzema and said: "Karim, when attacking, you have to see the right time to get here." ”

Benzema's eyes followed the tip of Zidane's pen, fixed on the whiteboard, and nodded.

In the second half, Real Madrid kicked off.

Barcelona's rapid forward pressure shows that Valverde wants to quickly grasp the pace of the game after the opening.

The Real Madrid defence quickly retreated into a 5-4-1 defensive stance.

There were immediately boos at Camp Nou, thinking that Real Madrid was playing too conservatively and was sorry for the giants.

But Zidane doesn't care, but is meticulously organizing the team's defense.

From the second half, Kroos dropped back more and was involved in the team's defence.

Although he does not have the superior interception and tackling ability of teammate Casemiro, his accurate prediction of the ball path and space can cause great trouble for opponents' passes.

Zidane put him at the back for another important reason.

It was when the team was dominated by defence that Kroos was the undisputed first spot.

In the 50th minute, Real Madrid made a successful steal at the back, and Kroos saw that the opponent's left side was pressed too high, and directly transferred the diagonal long pass to find Bale.

There was plenty of space on the flanks for Bale to pick up the ball and the Welsh star strode in succession, leaving Alba and De Jong behind.

Bang!

Seeing Rossi outflanked in the middle, Bale quickly passed to the middle.

But Pique was quicker, ahead of Rossi, and passed the ball to his team-mate.

Real Madrid missed a chance to counter-attack.

Pique looked back several times to confirm the direction of Rossi's running position, and at the moment of the pass, accelerated his movement and intercepted the cross.

Such a successful defense was played out frequently in the next ten minutes.

Rossi was heavily guarded by him, not to mention shooting, and even the ball was difficult to touch.

Seeing Rossi caught in Barcelona's "jail game", Zidane pondered for a while and called F-Valverde to his side.

In the 60th minute, the fourth official off the field raised the substitution card, and on the LED display, the red number 10 lit up.
