Chapter 627 High-Risk Adjustments

With just 35 minutes into the game, Real Madrid were 2-0 down at home, a result that no one had expected before the game.

Even Xavi, who found the loophole in Real Madrid, didn't expect the game to go so smoothly.

Is this still the Champions League champion Real Madrid?

and the Spanish Super Cup, it was like two teams.

Isn't it because the opponent has become weaker, but because he has become stronger?

Xavi has enough reason to believe that the Barcelona team in his hand is getting stronger step by step.

Ancelotti's rare nervousness appeared on his face.

He immediately walked to the edge of the coach's command zone and personally directed the defense.

Barca's goal came from a break down the wing.

Pedri and Gavi, two super newcomers, sprinted unscrupulously on both sides.

Coupled with Messi's tandem in the ribs, Barcelona's attack can be described as mercury.

In order to slow down Barca's attacking wave, Carlo Ancelotti asked the two wingers to drop back and participate in the wide defense.

As for the central defenders, Militão and Alaba are the best solutions in the Real Madrid defence at the moment, but the problems are just as prominent.

Militão's positional sense of attack and defense is very different, and he is inexperienced in the game.

Alaba has a physical deficit as a central defender, which makes it a little difficult to deal with wide crosses.

The goal just now was to defend Messi and push out of the penalty area, resulting in the loss of the front point.

As a result, Casemiro has to often join the back line and form a back five to fill the hole.

Casemiro's retreat brought about a knock-on effect of Real Madrid's retreat near the penalty line, struggling to support.

Even if there is a chance to defend against the counter-attack, Rossi alone will not be able to get past Busquets and the two central defenders.

At present, Ancelotti only hopes that everyone can survive the last wave of Barcelona's attack in the first half and then make tactical adjustments.

Under Real Madrid's tenacious defense, the momentum of Barcelona's attack gradually cooled down, and the first half was over, and the two sides will have a half-time break.

Looking at the panting players in front of him, Ancelotti knew that the pressure on their hearts was twice as serious as the fatigue in their bodies.

So, instead of disturbing the players' rest, he crossed his hands in front of his chest and stood like this.

As the heavy wheezing in the locker room gradually subsided, 10 minutes had passed at halftime.

Carlo Ancelotti urgently needs to set up his tactics in the time he has left.

'In the second half, we switched to three centre-backs, don't feel weird, don't think it's impossible, we need to score!'

Ancelotti gave each Real Madrid player a task in an undeniable tone.

In the past, he laid out tactics that allowed players to play to their heart's content.

But not this time.

The players had to be strict with their tactics to have any hope of equalising.

What makes the Real Madrid players strange is that they rarely use three central defenders.

Even last season, head coach Zinedine Zidane only used three central defenders as a last resort, and the effect was not as good as expected.

But at the moment it's already two goals behind, whether it works or not, you have to be bold and try.

"We changed the formation of three central defenders, because we concentrated our forces to press forward."

"Such a deployment will naturally lead to a serious tilt in the formation, and the opponent will beat our defense!"

'So, while pressing, the two wing-midfielders and wingers have to keep an eye on the opponent behind us.

"If necessary, stop the opponent with fouls."

Soon, the staff reminded the players to prepare to enter the field and the second half of the game was about to begin.

Yibian fights again, Real Madrid kicks off.

After Rossi passed the ball back, the Barcelona players did not press forward immediately, but patiently contracted the formation to keep the defence tight.

The fitness of the Real Madrid players in the second half was terrifying, and they were able to bring down their opponents alive.

Xavi didn't want to fight with Real Madrid at this time, after all, he was already two goals ahead.

After midfield adjustments, coupled with Barcelona's intention to retract the formation, Real Madrid gradually regained its disadvantage.

You must know that in the first half, Real Madrid's possession rate was less than 35%, and it was once suppressed by Barcelona near the big penalty area.

Carvajal had a chance to get forward in the second half and not leave Rodrygo alone.

And Vinicius, under the cover of Rossi, also has frequent opportunities to break into the Barcelona penalty area and create killing opportunities.

Although Barcelona also plays three central defenders, Busquets complements the back line when defending, forming a back four.

Pogba acts as a single midfielder to strengthen the defensive line's ability to fight.

Under Xavi's tutelage, the Premier League's "Mr. 100 million" regained his vitality and quickly occupied the position of Barcelona's main midfielder.

In front of Barcelona's layered defence, Real Madrid's attack had little effect.

In the 60th minute, Carlo Ancelotti made a substitution.

Vázquez replaces Carvajal and Valverde replaces Kroos.

Carvajal, who returned from injury, started in successive high-intensity matches in the Champions League and Grand Paris, but his fitness failed to return to peak condition.

Coupled with the non-stop switchback and running in this game, the physical fitness was empty early.

Vázquez is a full-back who can run to cover the flanks, allowing him to switch between three centre-backs and four defenders.

Kroos's downfall, in addition to physical fitness, is also related to Real Madrid's tactical layout.

At this stage, Real Madrid need to strengthen the confrontation in the midfield in order to gain possession.

Kroos, who is good at deflecting long balls and looking for opportunities, became less strategically important and was substituted.

Everything that should be adjusted has been adjusted, and the next thing is to see if Real Madrid's forward line can tear a hole.

With all the players running at the expense of their physical strength, Real Madrid barely managed to run the three-centre-back system, and relied on the attack on the wings to start threatening the Barcelona goal.

In the 63rd minute, Vinicius stepped forward to receive a pass from Rossi, and made continuous feints to shake off Araujo's defense.

But even if it is shaken away, there is no point in outflanking the teammates in the middle in time.

In desperation, Vinicius chose to pass back to the ribs, and the follow-up Valverde took a long-range shot to complete Real Madrid's most threatening shot in the second half.

In the 66th minute, after receiving a pass from a teammate in the center circle, Rossi broke away from Busquets and Pogba and sent the ball forward.

Vinicius accelerated and tried to shake off the goalkeeper before shooting, but Pique stabbed the ball away from behind.

After a succession of missed chances, Carlo Ancelotti made another substitution.

Camavinga replaced Rodrygo and pushed Valverde into the right winger position.

Also, Ancelotti made a risky decision.

Rossi's position can't be too far back.

He has to be in a place where he can threaten the Barcelona goal.

Because Real Madrid need him to attack.

The midfield pressed forward, and Real Madrid's three-centre-back system was like paper paste.

All it takes is a through ball for Barcelona to play to the ground.

In the face of huge risks, Real Madrid was the first to taste the sweetness.

Luka Modric has once again shown what he is capable of as the world's number one midfielder.

After getting rid of the Barcelona players' encirclement and interception in a row, a coquettish pass with the outside instep broke through Barcelona's three central defenders.

After Rossi successfully countered offside, he strode the ball and galloped in the Barcelona half.

After seeing Rossi with the ball, the fans at the scene once again ignited their passion and screamed.

When Peake turned to chase back, he finally understood the importance of age.

Although it can't be like the peak, quickly stick to the anti-Rossi.

But he was confident he could stop Rossi before he could enter the box.

Fouls, too, are not spared.

At this moment, Rossi's speed suddenly slowed down, and the amplitude of his right foot lifting back was obviously larger.

Oops, it's a pick!

Before you could see Pique catch up, Rossi had already decided to shoot with his feet.

Ter Schgent, who reacted instantly, immediately stopped attacking and stabilized his body, ready to save the ball at any time.

Rossi did exactly what he expected and picked the ball up.

The lion cub could only immediately prop up his body and raise his arms high to block the shot.

But Rossi's pick, as if carefully calculated, slowly fell from just above Ter Schgent's fingertips.

At this moment, Ter Schgent was desperate in his heart.

If you want to say who has broken the goal he has defended the most, it is the man in front of him.

No matter how much he tried to figure it out, he couldn't tell what the man would do next.

Even if you guess correctly, you can't do anything about it.

It's like this pick-and-shoot.

How can anyone master the arc so accurately?

Ter Schgent was hateful and unwilling.

As he sat on the turf, his body fell backwards, and his eyes were turned backwards to watch the ball fall into the net behind him.

Yes!!!!!!

The Bernabeu, for Rossi's goal, went crazy!
