Chapter 628: Last Stand, Big Center Rossi
“Hala Madrid!”
"Go all out for victory!"
"Defend your noble white!"
"Real Madrid is coming to you!"
"They carry the flag of Madrid!"
"That's a symbol of Madrid's greatness!"
“Hala Madrid!”
As the fans shouted "Come on, Madrid", the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited.
After waiting for a full 70 points, Real Madrid's counterattack finally began.
Damn Barcelona, you see, this is our Rossi,
Great Rossi,
Rosie, who can do anything!
Real Madrid, who scored a goal, immediately turned on the hurricane mode and continued to press forward towards Barcelona.
Xavi started to get nervous and walked to the sidelines to direct the defense.
Real Madrid added troops on the flanks and gave full play to the speed advantage on both flanks.
Under the cover of his teammates, Valverde strode the ball to the front of the Barcelona penalty area.
Barcelona, whose defense has been settled, has Busquets as the core of the defense, working together in a unified manner to block Real Madrid's counterattack.
Pogba and Valverde collided hard in the scramble and both fell to the ground.
The referee put the whistle in his mouth, and after a flash of hesitation, he did not blow the penalty.
It's a live ball!
Seeing that the referee did not mean to blow the whistle, the two sides immediately grabbed it.
Frenkie de Jong was one step ahead of Luka Modric, took the ball away and went straight forward.
Throughout the game, De Jong's main task was to maintain a balance between attack and defence, and rarely participated in the organization.
This time, his excellent big-picture vision allowed him to see Aubameyang 30 meters away.
A pinpoint long pass found himself directly in front of his teammate.
Vazquez's assist led to a vacuum in the area, which was easily stopped and turned by Aubameyang.
Camavinga immediately sped towards him, distracting him personally.
However, Aubameyang's body and technique were very balanced, resisting the opponent's physical confrontation while bringing the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
[Aubameyang is in! 】
Is there a chance? 】
[Huh? 】
[Aubameyang's cross behind his feet! ] 】
[Messi! 】
【Shot!!! 】
【GOALLLLLLL!!!! 】
[The ball went in!! 】
[Barcelona expands the score again! ] 】
【3:1!!! 】
[Just when Real Madrid pulled back a goal and was about to fight back! ] 】
[Messi used a goal to extinguish the arrogance of the opponent's counterattack! ] 】
[It's a clever heel fit! 】
[Aubameyang's imaginative right foot!] 】
[Pass the ball to Messi's decisive left foot!] 】
【Final goal!】 】
What should Real Madrid do next? 】
Carlo Ancelotti could already anticipate that when the centre of gravity of the formation moved forward, a huge amount of space would be exposed at the back.
But he didn't expect that the opponent's counterattack would come so quickly.
And it's amazingly efficient.
Just as Messi was celebrating with his fingers pointing to the sky, An Fat called Asensio over.
In the 75th minute, Asensio replaced Nacho, and Real Madrid continued to strengthen their attack.
The three-centre-back system has proven incapable of resisting Barca's counter-attacks.
Carlo Ancelotti brought on Asensio as a right winger.
Valverde, who originally played in this position, moved to the left midfield position and used his super running ability to create a "three and a half" backline.
This system has also been used by An Fat, and it must rely on the center to pull back to keep it running.
Ancelotti didn't need to go into more detail off the pitch, Rossi already knew what he was going to do.
With a two-goal lead, Barcelona players are under the pressure of Real Madrid, and many players have a physical crisis.
Xavi immediately made a substitution to breathe life into the team.
Sergio Aguero came off the bench to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who contributed a pass and a shot.
Barcelona further hoarded their midfield and focused on defending Real Madrid's attacking midfield.
Although the two wings have a large space, Real Madrid's top advantage is not obvious and does not pose a threat.
Real Madrid's attack was concentrated on the left flank.
Valverde, Vinicius and Rossi can combine on this flank to cross across the middle and assist team-mates from distance.
It can also be plugged through and Vinicius into the box.
However, the core of all this tactics is whether Rossi's retreat tandem can work.
When Rossi is present on the ribs, if the Barcelona centre-back is drawn out, then Vinicius can attack the space behind the centre-back.
If the centre-back doesn't go out, then Rossi can turn around here and shoot a shot.
Or, you can cross to the middle and feed Modric just outside the box.
There was also Asensio at the far end.
This is the classic "one wing, many flights" tactic.
Carlo Ancelotti has so many fast attackers up front to execute this tactic.
In the 78th minute, Vinicius easily came to the edge of the penalty area with the ball, but Barcelona's defensive position was already in place and there was no room to break through.
At this point, Rossi retreated to the rib area and reached for the ball.
Rossi's retreat led to the overall advance of Barcelona's backline.
In this way, there is enough space behind him for Vinicius to protrude.
When Rossi got the ball, Pique led Frenkie de Jong and Araujo as the head of the defence, marking Real Madrid's wide players and intercepting them diagonally.
And himself and Busquets, encircled and limited Rossi.
Rossi, after observing the opponent's defensive movement, took two steps to the left and made the illusion that he was about to pass the ball to Vinicius.
As Sergio Busquets stepped in at the back to prevent Real Madrid from tearing apart with a through ball, Rossi smashed the ball with his heel to Valverde, who was moving down the middle.
With Sergio Busquets left a vacuum in the middle, Valverde pulled up and was about to shoot.
Frightened, Pique fell to the ground to block and interfere with Valverde's shot.
The ball hit the anti-aircraft gun and flew towards the stands.
Xavi was very unhappy with the defense just now, and felt that the battle-hardened Busquets should not have such an option.
And Busquets didn't want to, but Rossi's threat in the ribs was too great.
If you don't make up for the defense, you are very likely to be penetrated by a through ball.
But once he comes in beforehand, there will be overlapping personnel here, which will lead to a decrease in defensive efficiency.
This makes it very uncomfortable for the defenders.
Especially a defender like Sergio Busquets, who knows how much of a threat Rossi is when he gets the ball here.
What a replement!
The game continued, and Barcelona had the ball.
Real Madrid quickly took advantage of the pressure up front to get the ball back, this time with Valverde advancing along the touchline.
It's exactly the same as it was just now.
In order to defend the middle, Sergio Busquets asked De Jong to mark Rossi.
But in this way, the original 2v2 situation on the side has become a disadvantageous situation for Araujo 1v2.
As Rossi was crossing, he suddenly pushed a through ball with the arch of his foot, which passed between De Jong's legs and broke through the defence.
Vinicius Jr. struck a curling shot with his right foot and deflected it towards the far post.
【GOAL!!!! 】
[Real Madrid has scored! 】
【2:3!!! 】
[Vinicius received a subtle assist from Rossi and hit the far corner of the goal! 】
[Real Madrid has formed a threat in this area before! ] 】
[Playing Barcelona players did not pay attention! ] 】
[Rossi's clever pass is directly through De Jong's small door! ] 】
[There are about ten minutes left in this game!] 】
[Real Madrid still has a chance! ] 】
