Chinese After winning Margara, Zhao Yaning reappeared in La Liga, this time, against Racing Santander, Zhao Yaning once again played a very good game: in the game, he first scored a goal thanks to Raul's assist, and then, after a corner, helped Pepe get the chance to score. Another victory, Real Madrid is still unrelenting in the long-distance running season.

And at this time, to the delight of Real Madrid, Barcelona finally played a draw: against Villarreal again, Barcelona could not get a win. Relying on the excellent play of Bellerón and Giuseppe Rossi, Villarreal scored two goals, although on Barcelona's side, Messi also broke out in the strongest form, scoring two goals, but they still could not win - Belleron is too good for space, he relied on his own position, completely paralyzed Barcelona's central attack, which made Barcelona, in the end, still not win.

"After seven consecutive wins, Barcelona are finally falling behind. And Real Madrid is now on a six-game winning streak, and since the second half of the season, Real Madrid has not lost a single game. So, when will their league loss start? Now, we have something to look forward to. After all, it would be a pity if such Real Madrid and Barcelona were not separated at the end of the season. In addition to the long-distance running in the league that is worth looking forward to, now, there is another game that is also worth looking forward to. In the Copa del Rey, at this time, the two teams finally met. ”

In fact, the Real Madrid team unanimously believes that the biggest problem why Barcelona will lose the game is because they want to beat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey competition. For them, after all, there is still a chance for the next half of the season in the long-distance running season, but if the Copa del Rey loses directly to Real Madrid, then they will have to see Real Madrid enter the final and win the trophy.

Barcelona clearly does not allow such a thing to happen. Their ambitions are no less than those of Real Madrid, and this season, it is also Barcelona's dream to try to win every title.

"You say they lost the league for the Copa del Rey...... If we send a team of academy players directly to their main team during the Copa del Rey, will they die of anger? ”

For this issue, Real Madrid has some malicious thoughts in private. Anyway, the Copa del Rey is not worth much, and if it is really played like this, no one else can say anything. However, these thoughts can only be just thoughts. Real Madrid meets Barcelona, no matter when and where, they have to play a wonderful game, otherwise, Real Madrid will not be able to explain.

What's more, this year's Copa del Rey match was still played at home and then away, at the Bernabeu. If they lose to Barcelona at home, then Real Madrid will be too humiliating.

In this game, Real Madrid's rare main force was exhausted. For a Copa del Rey match, all the main players were pulled over, which is a rare battle for Real Madrid in recent years: even in the 2004 Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid's goalkeeper was still a substitute goalkeeper, but this time, Real Madrid did use all 11 main players.

In the same way, Barcelona did not slack off at all. They're the same. It's just that, unlike the previous game, they directly replaced Keita and used Butzkes instead.

After all, Butzks' physical condition can ensure that he will not be kicked too badly by Zhao Yaning. This is quite important. After Keita was bullied in the last game, Barcelona also made corresponding adjustments.

"In the last game between Real Madrid and Barcelona, we couldn't get enough of it." When the commentator was commenting on the game, he also directly expressed his opinion, "The tactics of Real Madrid and Barcelona are good, but unfortunately, after the game, because both sides are eager to win, they are also a little impatient." Coach Carlo Ancelotti and Coach Guardiola were not very good on the field, they didn't give us a good game by changing the line-up. And now, they have also been thinking about it for a long time. Hopefully, in this game, they will play some fresh tricks. ”

When the commentator said this, he was obviously a little resentful: two super strong teams played against each other, and the head coaches of the two teams sat on the sidelines together to play soy sauce games, which really didn't taste good. I don't expect you to have any kind of wisdom, but don't always sit still! Barcelona can also say that Guardiola is young and inexperienced, and Ancelotti is not good at commanding, which is really a bit unreasonable. The on-the-spot command of these two people is really nothing to look forward to. In such a major game, if it was Mourinho, maybe he would have sung and danced and played something, but they didn't move at all, but it wasn't good enough.

However, although the presence of both men is a mess, both men are very good coaches after all, and this season, the tactical changes shown by both teams are in the eyes of everyone. Everyone also wants to know whether Real Madrid and Barcelona have made new arrangements for the opponent's style of play after the last matchup. And will these new deployments be effective? This is also an important question.

And in the midst of all the doubts, the game began.

'Barcelona played at a very slow pace today. Watching the game, Bosque, as a special guest, also spoke, "Obviously, Guardiola has discovered the biggest weakness of his team: when he encounters a strong team, he is easy to be attacked by defenders and counterattacks, aiming behind him. So, he used this method to cover up the team's problems. Relying on a slower pace and more backcourt passes, Barcelona can maintain higher efficiency in the attack and better ensure that the defensive formation is not scattered, which is of great benefit to them to prevent defensive counterattacks. It's just that fans probably won't like this style of play very much. The tempo was too slow, there were too many passes at the back, and the play was not good enough. ”

Generally speaking, football is about possession. High ball possession means that the team has good ball control, good technique, and is more respected. However, Barcelona's possession of the ball sometimes affects the perception of the game because of too many passes in the backfield. After all, not everyone is interested in seeing how a team's formation changes, running off the ball, controlling at the back, seeing how tightly a team is in control. More often than not, people ask to see how to attack, how to make a quick sprint, and even, what kind of single cavalry to break through the army, or to penetrate the defensive line. Some extreme fans even think that all passes that are not for the purpose of assisting are invalid, and in the eyes of such fans, Barcelona's style of play is really a bit dull. Of course, compared to Chelsea and Liverpool's style of shrinking and defending, and then sneaking to win, although such a backfield is boring, it can be regarded as something to see, and in the strong team, the viewing is still relatively good. But compared to Arsenal's fast-moving style of play, it really isn't good-looking.

In fact, such a style of play would have resulted in Barcelona having around 70 per cent possession on average for the season, as well as a dreaded 88 per cent pass completion rate. Such data is quite scary. Real Madrid, under Ancelotti, is also trying to play attacking football, but their possession rate is only 60% on average, and the pass success rate is only 85%, which is indeed a gap compared with Barcelona. However, Barcelona's style of play also made Barcelona stay in their own half for more than 60% of the time when facing strong teams - everyone came to watch the ball, and no one came to watch Valdés and Puyol pass the ball.

Still, as Bosque said, Guardiola is smart and he does so for a purpose. The most dangerous thing in Barcelona's defense is the opponent's quick counter-attack. In order to maintain the attacking formation, they need to shorten the distance between each other, but if they shorten the distance between each other, they need to press so that the opponent can easily counterattack - so Guardiola's solution is to slow down the pace and make the players move more calmly, so that they can better maintain their positions, and reduce the number of offensive and defensive transitions.

In this way, after a match, the opponent can catch two or three counterattacks at most. In a tournament against a strong opponent, two or three chances to counterattack, even if they all rely on foul interceptions, are worth it.

Barcelona's slowness is not slow for the sake of slowness, but has a deep tactical reason. They are not trying to induce the opponent to steal and thus deplete the opponent's physical strength, but to better defend the opponent's attack so that the opponent cannot get too many opportunities. Their rhythm is in the service of their tactics, and they also happen to have a rhythm master, relying on Xavi's control, they have successfully managed to stabilize the rhythm.

After finding the right formation, Barcelona is now finding the most suitable rhythm for themselves.

And even more surprisingly, Barcelona's attack has also changed. After Barcelona got the ball again, a surprising change also occurred in Barcelona's attacking line as Barcelona ran the ball.

Samuel Etoola was on the left, while Henry was in the middle.

'Etoola's side, Thierry Henry moved to the middle, and it's clear that Guardiola has found his own better attacking routine.

During the Rijkaard period, Barcelona's attack relied on fast passing, interspersed with running, and played extremely wonderful football. But while this kind of football is wonderful, it also relies heavily on unexpected passes and breakthroughs. When Xiao Luo is here, they can play a little more lively, after all, Xiao Luo has the most uncontrollable attack method. But now it's different from before, the core player is Messi, Messi doesn't have the whimsy of Xiao Luo, although his breakthrough is very sharp, but relying on the defensive line to stand well, he can stifle his role, and La Liga is now more and more popular double back, especially Pepe's butcher-style back, which also makes it more and more difficult to intersperse the running position.

During the Rijkaard period, this kind of problem was also encountered. You can't play a strong team, and you can't kick it by interspersing running positions. But at that time, Rijkaard had Larsson, who could do the job of carrying the ball with his back and letting his teammates spread out behind him. But now, Eto'o is not up to the task.

But the good thing is that Barcelona still has Henry.

After Eto'o pulled the edge, the effect immediately weakened a lot, and it can be said that it is completely incomparable to Henry who pulled the edge. However, after Henry reached the middle, he also played a very good role: he relied on his ability to hold the ball with his back, protected the ball, and then helped Messi to attack.

Henry's ability to protect the ball is worth trusting, and in this way, although Eto'o's role has been weakened, Henry's role has been enhanced, and at the same time, with Henry's help, Messi's role has also been enhanced, and Barcelona's attack has a better routine.

"Obviously, Pep Guardiola is putting all his bets on Messi, and for this reason, even if Eto'o is abolished, he doesn't care. I just don't know, can Messi bring us enough surprises in the game? "Cat flutter Chinese
