Chapter 610: Beyond the data, the new pattern of the national derby
Ann's Real Madrid played a wave of winning streaks at the beginning of the season.
After beating Valencia away, Real Madrid defeated Mallorca and Villarreal in succession, winning seven consecutive victories.
Rossi continues to maintain a very high level of competition, and Vinicius Jr. has also made a big splash this year.
As for Benzema, the formation arrangement at the beginning of the season originally thought that he was a pawn sacrificed under Ancelotti's tactics.
But after 7 rounds, he has only one less goal than Rossi.
Benzema, transformed into a Benz Tyrannosaurus rex.
These are the coaching qualities of Carlo Ancelotti, who knows how to put players in the right places and let them play out their talents.
With Sheriff Tiraspol at home in midweek, Carlo Ancelotti decisively rotated his squad to prepare for the upcoming Spanish derby.
Rossi, Luka Modric, Kroos and others sat in the stands.
I thought it was a game of abuse, but I didn't expect the young sheriff team to burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit.
The back line was united, and the players desperately blocked the eye, did not wait for time, and fought with Real Madrid face to face with bayonets.
Real Madrid is like a system game in the draw, with players in explosive form and repeated chances to shoot.
But the opponent only relied on the goalkeeper's divine save to block Real Madrid's attacks one by one.
Not only that, but the young sheriff, who rarely attacked, seized the only two opportunities and gave Real Madrid's battle-hardened master two punches to take a 2-0 lead in the 80th minute.
Rossi is not in the squad and can only rely on Benzema.
In the 89th minute, Benzema lived up to expectations and scored a goal to make the score 1:2, while surpassing Raul in the European scorer list and ranking fourth.
The goal of completing the milestone was certainly a cause for joy, but Real Madrid eventually lost 1-2 to the Sheriffs and caused an upset.
After the second round of the group stage, the top of the table is actually the Tiraspol Sheriffs, who have won two consecutive games.
Do you want to replicate last season and leave the suspense of promotion in the last round?
What a job!
However, I have to admit that the fighting spirit of the police captain is indeed hard enough.
Perhaps inspired by the Moldovan league, the Spaniards did the same for the weekend's league game, with aggressive scrambling and tireless running, to limit Real Madrid's attack.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, don't seem to have come out of their midweek defeat yet, sleepwalking en masse, running around in attack and leaking in defence.
In the 25th minute, Real Madrid's youth striker De Tomas counterattacked and helped Espanyol lead 1:0.
In Carlo Ancelotti's 4-3-1-2 formation, Valverde was a little uncomfortable in the most crucial midfield position.
His ability is to dash at high speed with the ball and to shoot from a stunning distance.
Let him thread the needle in the front waist position, it seems to be a little stiff.
The cooperation between Vinicius and Benzema in the front court is also a little rusty, and there is no previous tacit understanding at all.
At the critical moment, Rosie had to be sent.
This was also deliberately arranged by Ancelotti.
At the first half, save your energy for the Champions League group stage and Barcelona.
Come on in the second half and find the feeling of the game.
Rossi and Casemiro came off the bench in the 60th minute as Real Madrid changed their line-up 4-3-3.
With Casemiro on the back, Valverde and Luka Modric can take turns to attack the opposition's defence.
Benzema dropped back into his familiar position, combined with his team-mates in small areas, and looked for opportunities to pass forward.
Rossi drew the Spaniard's heavy defence down the left flank, with the weak side easily penetrated by Modric.
Also attacking the wings, Vinicius felt that the situation in the second half was completely different.
This time, the gap on the right side was very large.
It's as big as the streets of Madrid at four o'clock in the morning.
Vinicius showed off his dribbling talents, cutting inside in succession and shaking off angles, followed up with a rapid shot that caught his opponent off guard.
1:1!
After Real Madrid's equaliser, morale soared, and Benzema took advantage of the situation to score another goal to turn the game around.
The two distinct offensive rhythms of the first and second halves were built up by Rossi's constant attraction of defence.
This is not reflected in the data.
Only by holding the video of the game after the game and watching and studying it frame by frame will you understand the mystery.
With 8 consecutive league wins, Real Madrid ushered in the most crucial game of the Champions League group stage.
Away against Shakhtar Donetsk, it will be a tough battle for Real Madrid.
The miners, who are worth only 98 million euros, are the "hard stubble" in the eyes of the giants and are not easy to play.
Real Madrid suffered last season.
In terms of starting arrangements, Mendy, who has returned from injury, sat on the left side to further stabilize the defensive line and free up Rossi's attacking ability.
Rossi, who is the thigh of the team, also scored for Real Madrid early to stabilize the morale of the army.
Real Madrid fans are very relieved that Rossi is in excellent form at the moment, and the next game at Camp Nou will be another exciting matchup.
This time, Shakhtar failed to stage the drama of the giants' nemesis, losing 0:5 to Real Madrid.
After the match, the Real Madrid players did not return to Madrid, but went directly to Barcelona to prepare for the national derby.
This will be a big test for Carlo Ancelotti's second time in charge of Real Madrid.
Only by passing this test can he officially conquer the hearts of Real Madrid fans.
The former national derby was a "peerless double pride" led by Ronaldo and Messi, which can be called the derby of the century.
With Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, the stars of the national derby can't help but dim.
It wasn't until Rossi came that the showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona won the attention of the world again.
At the end of last season, the Barcelona hierarchy was in chaos, and no one knew what the new Barcelona president Joan Laporta would bring to the team.
Some media even believe that Messi will leave Barcelona.
In the end, Laporta still kept Messi and let him continue to play for Barcelona.
But in order to get a contract, Messi didn't know how much he took the initiative to cut his salary to impress their chairman.
Messi stayed, and Barcelona left traffic.
Not only that, Laporta also brought Sergio Aguero and Pogba to the team, outlining a new Barcelona blueprint with experience and talent in a way that matches new and old players.
Barcelona are currently unbeaten with 8 wins and 1 draw, ranking second behind Real Madrid.
In third place is Atletico Madrid, who have 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
This season's league championship is still a fierce situation of the three heroes competing for supremacy.
Real Madrid's early arrival in Barcelona to prepare for the game caused an uproar in the media.
It can also be seen that Ancelotti attaches great importance to this national derby.
After two days of closed training, Real Madrid opened up to the media in their final lesson.
The media roughly deduced their starting XI from Real Madrid's group confrontation.
In fact, Real Madrid's starting lineup, in the absence of injuries, is relatively fixed.
This is also the habit of Ancelotti's coaching.
A familiar lineup can bring him lasting victories.
'The focus against Barcelona was on defense and we had no problems attacking.
In his pre-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti offered his thoughts on the national derby.
This sentence seems to be said, but nothing is said.
The whole world knows that Real Madrid's defense is an unstable factor, and you still need to admit it yourself?
On Barcelona's side, Sergio Busquets took the initiative to show weakness in the pre-match interview, which is very abnormal.
He has been killed by Real Madrid for two consecutive seasons, and he is holding back a wave of revenge.
Showing weakness is a kind of psychological tactic application.
Barcelona are building energy and confidence to make a comeback at home.
A new pattern of national derby is slowly kicking off.
