Chapter 620: Real Madrid's offensive storm, the first crown of the new year
Ancelotti's substitution is to tell Xavi that the side territory will not give up an inch.
Replacing Luka Modric and Carvajal, Real Madrid used the simplest and most direct way to attack Barcelona's wide defense.
In the 65th minute, Messi took the ball in the ribs, and the continuous horizontal belt shook two defenders and knocked horizontally.
Pedri made a slight adjustment and shot from distance.
The ball flew close to the ground, was saved by Courtois and bounced into the penalty area.
The second penalty was still under the control of Barcelona and was handed to Messi again.
Messi panicked with the ball, and the attention of the Real Madrid defense was all focused on Messi.
Just as Casemiro and MilitΓ£o unfolded the bag on Messi, the ball was gently picked up by Messi.
On the left side of the penalty area, Dembele stiffened and leaned back during the take-off, chasing the ball with his head.
Messi's pick pass is both hidden and deadly, even if Dembele is not tall enough, he can still fight for the landing point in front of Real Madrid's two central defenders.
It took a lot of effort for Dembele to reluctantly put his head on the ball's path.
Bang!
With no power and no aiming angle, Dembele could only let the ball hit his forehead and bounce towards the goal.
As for whether to advance or not, it is all up to God's will.
But this time, luck was on Barca's side.
The ball was slowly hoisted into the corner and Barcelona equalised.

[Ancelotti must be very angry! γ
[With such a defense, how to play the Champions League? ] γ
[Their opponent is Paris Saint-Germain! γ
Ancelotti did not blame the defence for the equaliser, but kept encouraging his players.
"Attack, take back the rhythm!"
"Run, run!"
Harvey, who was on the side, shook his head when he heard this.
With the current running of the Real Madrid players, it will be difficult to hold on until the end of the game.
Immediately, he made another personnel change, with Fati replacing Luc de Jong and Gavi replacing Frenkie de Jong.
The departure of the two De Jong indicates that Barcelona will open a strikerless formation and wear down the physical fitness of Real Madrid players through skillful transmission and cooperation.
In the 70th minute, Real Madrid players actively pressed in front.
In the 75th minute, Real Madrid players fought with the opponent in the midfield.
In the 80th minute, they were still running.
That's what made Harvey stunned.
From the first fifteen minutes, Barcelona began to delay the pace of the game and wear down the opponent by passing.
But Real Madrid kept running and grabbing, but instead fully mobilized Barcelona, who was bent on slowing down the pace.
Their pass success rate has been consistently high, but the speed of their passes has also increased.
At first, they didn't notice anything wrong.
I thought that the passing frequency was fast because the opponent was pressing.
But as the minutes passed, the Barcelona players were surprised to find that their rhythm was being accelerated by Real Madrid little by little.
With the introduction of Rodrygo and Camavinga, Real Madrid's pressing intensity in the front court was not inferior to the first half.
In the 82nd minute, Casemiro immediately launched a counterattack after breaking the ball at the back.
Seeing this, Pogba wanted to fall to the ground and tackle, create a foul, and prevent Casemiro from pushing with the ball.
However, the Brazilian beast accelerated in a change of direction, avoided Pogba's back-tackle, and drove straight into the ball with a long drive.
What kind of physical fitness is this?
This area can stunned Barcelona's defense.
Due to the unsuccessful up-and-down just now, Casemiro was penetrated in the middle and faced the two central defenders directly.
At this time, Rodrygo, who replaced Benzema, was moving forward at a very fast pace.
The same goes for Vinicius at the other end.
Real Madrid form a 4v2 in the front court!
[Casemiro hasn't passed yet, waiting for his teammates to come up!] γ
[Pass to the right side, Rodrigo takes the ball and sees if there is a chance!] γ
[Gavi has returned to the defense, chasing Rodrigo! ] γ
[Rodrigo crosses!] γ
γRosie's Chance! γ
[Alas, alas, the ball leaked to the back point!] γ
[Valverde shoots!] γ
[The ball went in!! γ

[Real Madrid continues to overtake the score! ] γ
[Let's take a look at this attack!] γ
[Rodrigo's speed is really fast, just in time for Gavi to return to the defense, pass the ball to the middle!] γ
[Eh, come and see Rosie's leaked ball!] γ
[Shake the goalkeeper and shoot!] γ
[Valverde's shot is simply half an empty goal!] γ
[The game time has come to the 85th minute, and the Real Madrid players still have such abundant physical fitness! ] γ
[The camera is also given to Real Madrid's physical fitness coach Pintus! ] γ
[Since he took office, Real Madrid has a distinctive feature! γ
[No matter who the opponent is, after the 60th minute of the second half, the Real Madrid players still have plenty of physical energy to fight! ] γ
[This is very scary! γ
[Does Barcelona still have a chance?] γ
Xavi immediately made another substitution, with Depay and Abboud coming on to continue to intensify the attack.
In the last five minutes, Barcelona gave their best and were still attacking.
But whether it was Messi's shot after forcing a pass, or a cross from the side, they were all resolved by Real Madrid one by one.
Moreover, Real Madrid still has the strength to fight back after each defuse attack.
That's what scares and scares Harvey.
In the end, the miracle did not happen, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3:2 with Valverde's goal and won the Spanish Super Cup.
This is Barcelona being killed by Real Madrid 7 times in a row in all competitions, and Xavi, the "strongest brain", can't calculate Real Madrid's offensive storm.
"Well done, we almost won!"
After shaking hands with Carlo Ancelotti, Xavi walked into the pitch, hugged the players and comforted them.
Barcelona is now in a turbulent moment of restructuring, and being able to fight one-on-one with Real Madrid is already very good for Xavi, who has only been in charge of the team for less than a month.
Next, they should be in a good mood and prepare for the league and the Champions League to try to get a good result.
Xavi is not discouraged, and he can find a lot of problems in his failures.
There is also a national derby this season, and his revenge is not rushed.
On the award stage, Benzema held the trophy high and showed it to the fans.
It was also Rossi's third Spanish Super Cup title.
In the space of nine days, Real Madrid scored a total of 10 goals against Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona, leading an attacking football.
In the next game, Real Madrid will have to go through the double test of the Copa del Rey and the Champions League knockout round, and the pressure is not small.
The Club World Cup will further aggravate the fatigue of the body.
How to balance the four-front battle, Ancelotti must be careful and careful.
How to solve the defensive problems at the back is still Ancelotti's top priority.
The reinforcement of the winter window is imminent.
The midfield of the ceremony had to deliver shells to the front line and build a defensive barrier, and the consumption can be imagined.
Fortunately, the rise of Valverde and Camavinga has become the most reliable substitute in midfield.
Rossi is still the most consistent point in the front line, and how to develop tactics around him in the absence of a major general, Ancelotti must have this emergency plan.
Carlo Ancelotti also gained a lot from this victory, which is far more important than the championship.
