After losing to Real Madrid in the league, Barcelona coach Koeman was disgraced by the condemnation of fans.

Barcelona fans can tolerate the team not having a title in the rebuild, but they can't tolerate being beaten by Real Madrid for 6 consecutive times.

Who can save Barcelona from the fire?

Among the many candidates, Laporta selected the team's former meritorious player, Xavi.

The appointment of a young and inexperienced Xavi as head coach is not without precedent for Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola, after retiring in 06, served as the head coach of Barcelona's second team in just one year.

No one expected that after another year, the young Pep Guardiola would become the head coach of Barcelona and lead the team to create the "Six Crowns".

Only players who come from the Barcelona system really know Barcelona.

This is what the Barcelona hierarchy is convinced of.

They hope that the former team brains can lead the team out of the predicament and back to the top like Pep Guardiola.

Although the Spanish Super Cup match is a bit more commercial in nature, the match with Real Madrid must not be regarded as a friendly match.

Unlike the first leg of the round-robin competition, Xavi used a 4-3-3 formation in his first national derby in charge, with Frenkie de Jong as the central striker and Messi and Ousmane Dembele as the wings.

In midfield, Busquez is still the best choice at the back.

On either side of him, Pogba and Frenkie de Jong were deployed to play both offensive and defensive roles.

The only change at the back is the activation of veteran Alves at right-back.

From the starters, Xavi sent a signal to take the initiative to attack.

On the bench, new Golden Boy winners Pedri, Fati, Gavi, Coutinho and Depay left Xavi with enough adjustments.

For Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti's two-week rotation allowed the veterans to take a breather and take on Barcelona with their strongest start.

As soon as the game began, Real Madrid wanted to use Vinicius's impact to attack the Barcelona defense in turn.

Due to the presence of Luc de Jong, Barcelona's pressing strength and flexibility in the front court have been weakened, and it is all up to midfielders Pogba and Frenkie de Jong's confrontation and athleticism to make up for the shortcomings.

In the first minute, Vinicius picked up the ball at the back, shook off Dembele and was about to speed up and sprint, but was brought down by veteran Alves.

It wasn't long before Barcelona clamped Mendy up front and forced the ball off the touchline.

From these two presses, the focus of Xavi's tactics can be seen.

Taking advantage of Mendy's weakness on the ball, he limited Real Madrid's ball at the back and cut off the supply line to Rossi.

When the ball came to the right, the Barcelona players tried not to give Carvajal a chance to turn around, also cutting off his contact with Vinicius.

It has to be said that Xavi's pressing after the opening kick-off was effectively aimed at Real Madrid's weaknesses.

But Real Madrid are very experienced in breaking the pressure and getting the ball out quickly.

Without waiting for Ancelotti to remind, the Real Madrid players are already adjusting themselves.

Mendy was in midfield on the left, and Kroos moved to left-back to move the ball wide at the back.

On the right, Vinicius dropped back to the back line and used his dribbling ability to bring the ball out of the backfield.

After defusing Barcelona's frontcourt pressure, Xavi let the defense retreat in an orderly manner to avoid being attacked by Real Madrid.

When the ball was pushed across the half, Real Madrid focused their positional battle on Rossi.

Because he is playing against the veteran Alves.

Alves at his peak, and Messi's cooperation on the right side, can be described as a big killer for Barcelona.

As he got older, Alves' ability to run back and forth decreased, and his threat diminished considerably, and he had to juggle defense while attacking.

Real Madrid are attacking here because Alves has struggled to keep up with the pace and reflexes of the youngsters.

In the 15th minute, after a collision with Modric, Rossi directly tore through the side defense and advanced at high speed with the ball.

Alves looked up and tried desperately to chase back, but still couldn't keep up with Rossi's youthful footsteps.

Suddenly, under the counterattack led by Rossi, Real Madrid formed a 3v2 in the frontcourt.

Rossi dribbled the ball down the middle, and Benzema and Vinicius moved to the sides in perfect harmony to try to pull the two Barcelona centre-backs on the defence.

With the number of people at a disadvantage, Pique knew that he could not stop the attack of the three, and immediately commanded Araujo, kept an eye on Benzema, and took the initiative to give up Vinicius.

I have to say that the veteran Pique's decision in an instant allowed Barcelona to successfully resolve the danger.

With one man missing, Pique decided to limit Real Madrid's most feared players first.

So, he was in charge of Rossi on the front and Araujo in charge of Benzema on the right.

As for Vinicius, he can only let it go, praying that he will not score.

It's just a blatant contempt!

Sure enough, Vinicius, after receiving a pass from Rossi, cut inside to shake off the defending Pique, and then shot with his feet.

Under Pique's interference, the ball flew out of the bottom line above the intersection of the crossbar and the post with an arc, and Barcelona escaped.

A huge sigh from the Real Madrid fans.

They couldn't believe that Vinicius' shot didn't hit the goal.

The bear, who missed the score, hugged his head in frustration, and then put his palms together and pressed them to his lips.

"Be steady, don't be influenced by other people."

Rosie also saw that Pique's psychological warfare still had a bit of an impact on the young cubs.

The game resumes with Ter Schgent kicking off the goal.

In the offensive phase, Barcelona still relied on skillful passing to advance the attack.

When Barcelona are attacking, the backline always has to have three defenders.

This time the attacking direction is on Messi's side, and left-back Alba will reduce the number of times he cuts forward and participate in the defense.

The ball was at the feet of Sergio Busquets and Rossi burst out from behind.

At this time, the Barcelona captain did not notice that Rossi and Benzema had completed the switch.

Sensing that there was someone behind him, Busquets wanted to take the ball to the left first, attract the opponent, and then pull the ball in the opposite direction to complete the escape.

This is his most common and easiest way to pass others.

But Rosie, who knew him well, did not give him this opportunity.

He wasn't fooled into blocking the left side, but on the right side of Busquets, he fell to the ground and slid the ball past his team-mates.

Professor Bu didn't expect that the opponent not only did not shake, but used a sliding tackle to cut the ball away from his feet.

By the time he got up, Modric had already passed the ball and quickly forward.

Rossi turned to lead the ball directly in front of him, followed up and didn't take a single step to pass the ball between left-back and left-centre-back with the outside of his right foot.

Like Alves, Pique's athleticism and reflexes also dropped significantly, and for a while he couldn't keep up with the speed of Vinicius, who was inserted forward, and was left behind.

After two steps of acceleration to the ball, Vinicius had already left the defense behind him, slammed into the penalty area, did not give Ter Gent enough time to react, and shot with his feet.

The Barcelona goalkeeper, who had no time to react, stood on the spot with his feet and watched the ball fly into the goal from the near corner, while his right hand was only symbolically raised, indicating that he had made efforts for this defense.
