Section 915 The Contest of Giants

(Cat flutter Chinese) While Barcelona was gearing up, Real Madrid was also playing, and after the start of the second half of the season, Real Madrid immediately ushered in a new problem.

At this time, the Africa Cup of Nations has already begun, and Yaya Toure is going to Africa to play for his national team, so he will miss the first leg of the national derby at Camp Nou.

"The league committee did it on purpose, right? Scheduling our game at this time is purely to make us look good. ”

In this regard, the Real Madrid players are not without resentment. However, everyone also knows that there is no point in complaining like this. The Africa Cup of Nations must be played, and the absence must be absent, Barcelona will also sell Eto'o, otherwise, Barcelona may suffer more than Barcelona.

With Ribery gone, Real Madrid had to find someone to play in the back. In the next league game against Osasuna, Martinez and L Diarra played as a central midfielder at the same time, and in this game, Real Madrid played quite well.

Diarra does have a bad habit of sticking to the ball, but Martinez next to him has a very good ability to play the ball. With him and Diarra, this game was quite good.

But this kind of play, after all, is still insufficient. Everyone knows that Real Madrid's only enemy this season is Barcelona, and Diarra's problem happens to be the problem of being restrained by Barcelona.

After this game, Real Madrid's next game is against Mallorca. This game did not make it difficult for Real Madrid, who made an adjustment this time and tried to let Martinez play as a single midfielder, and then they easily won a victory. Neither Osasuna nor Mallorca have been able to stop Real Madrid's winning streak, but neither has contributed much to the midfield problem.

The two league victories have made Real Madrid more confident when they go to Camp Nou.

As for the Copa del Rey, which started at the same time...... Now that you've already taken it, what's the point of wasting energy on that kind of competition?

The Copa del Rey is not a big game after all, so you don't have to put too much effort into it. In contrast, the National Derby is a huge event.

And, even more remarkably, Barcelona seem to be in much better shape after the start of the second half of the season. In the first half of the season, he was keen to play alone, and Xiao Luo, who was not very gregarious, began to integrate into the team, which made Barcelona's strength significantly improved.

Xiao Xiaoluo and Messi are both smart enough and good enough players, when they have conflicts, of course, they make a lot of trouble, but once they are united, they run in very quickly. The style of play of the two people has changed somewhat, Xiao Xiaoluo gave up more opportunities to dribble the ball, and Messi no longer controls the shooting power too much, such mutual sacrifice, so that the cooperation between the two people has become a great improvement, in the seventeenth round of the game, Barcelona won a 6-0 victory, and is also in full state to face Real Madrid.

"Cristiano and Messi, under the strong threat of Zhao Yaning, finally began to understand what cooperation is. This is a new challenge and threat for Real Madrid. In 08, Cristiano blocked Real Madrid's Champions League road, and in 09, Messi stole Real Madrid's league title hopes, and now, the only two people who have defeated Zhao Yaning have begun to join forces and fight against Zhao Yaning. For Zhao Yaning, this is the most powerful enemy, and this game has also taken on a new meaning in the escalating armaments of the two teams. ”

In fact, it stands to reason that Real Madrid's style of play is not so bad. After all, when it comes to the bench lineup, Real Madrid's thick bench is enough to make Barcelona envious and don't know what to say. But in such a game, more and more people only pay attention to the top players, whether it is Ibrahimovic or Xavi, they are all first-class players in the eyes of people, but not top enough, therefore, in this game, it has become Zhao Yaning alone against the other party's two people, which also makes everyone think that the situation is a lot more serious for Real Madrid. And this game was played at the Camp Nou, and everyone thought that Real Madrid's chances of winning were relatively small.

"I have only one question." Facing the media, Zhao Yaning opened his mouth directly, "Who is the referee?" As long as the referee is fair enough, I don't have to worry about anything else. ”

This question made the La Liga committee quite unable to get down. Every time it comes to an important game, it shouts that the referee can't do it, which is a kind of questioning of the committee. However, this time, they have always brought in referees from UEFA, in order to maintain the fairness of the game.

And in this game, both sides are also ready to play at Camp Nou.

On Real Madrid's side, Casillas was in goal, Marcelo, Carvalho, Ramos, and Ivanovic formed the backline. In the midfield, Pepe and Martinez are used as a double back combination, while in the front, Real Madrid surprisingly did not choose to start Raul, but chose Ribery on the left, Di Maria on the right, Zhao Yaning in the middle, and Ibrahimovic in front.

This change is very unexpected, Raul has indeed had a lot fewer opportunities this season, and the arrival of Di Maria has not allowed him to occupy the main position at any time. However, it is still surprising that such an important game will not be Raul but Di Maria.

It seems that Raul is really old......

Another change is not surprising. Carvalho came to Real Madrid and played surprisingly well. Although he is a veteran, his skills are not as good as before, and his movements are not as agile as before, his experience and composure are indeed what is missing in the Real Madrid backline. After all, he plays as a complementary defender, and Real Madrid's two defenders are both up-and-coming, so compared to Real Madrid's other defenders, this Chelsea outcast is more reliable. And Diarra, who is in the back position, is really a little uneasy. Too much ball-holding is a big problem against other weak teams, but against a team like Barcelona that is aggressive in counter-attacking.

Therefore, it would be safer for Real Madrid to play Pepe in the back and Carvalho in charge of the defenders. After all, in this way, the defense is more stable, and in the midfield, the huge sweeping range of Pepe and Martinez is enough to block Barcelona's two superstars.

Barcelona, on the other hand, also sent their strongest lineup. The goalkeeper is still Valdés, the back line is Abidal, Puyol, Pique, Alves, the midfield is Butzques behind, Xavi is in the middle, and the returning Iniesta is in the forward position. And on the forward line, Barcelona was just as surprising, they didn't let Henry start, but chose Messi in the middle, Ronaldo on the right, and Pedro on the left.

This style of play is quite surprising. If you want to play in the middle, Xiao Xiaoluo's experience is much better than Messi's. Clearly, though, Pep Guardiola has his own considerations. Compared with Xiao Xiaoluo's back body skills, what he trusts more is the huge space behind him caused by Messi's assault ability, and his idea is also to rely on Messi's assault in the middle to cause chaos, so as to create enough opportunities for Xiao Luo and Pedro on the two wings. With such a style of play, Messi is naturally better in the middle.

"In this game, the biggest disappointments should be Raul and Henry. The two veterans were finally excluded from the squad, their age, they can finally no longer be the main force in the giants, now is not their time, now, it is the era of young people. This game is also a verification in front of us who is the master of the times. ”

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona's side still had a lot of doubts, after all, Real Madrid's two wings are both sides with strong ability to hold the ball and strong assault ability, but the ability to respond is average. With such two half-way kicks, then, who will play the strategy?

But, right away, they had the answer.

Di Maria took the lead on the right flank, and his breakthrough was quite sharp, and Abidal also struggled to defend. Butzques defended immediately, and at this time, Di Maria immediately kicked the ball into the middle. In the middle of the road, Zhao Yaning immediately rushed up and controlled the ball at his feet, and Butzkes immediately blocked it, but this time, Zhao Yaning ran up to him, right in front of him, and suddenly pulled the ball behind him, and then changed direction with a flick of the bull's tail and shook off Butzks.

This made Butzques quite embarrassed, and behind him, Pique, who was making up for the defense, had already rushed up. However, at this time, Ribery began to attack the penalty area, and Zhao Yaning passed the ball directly and stuffed it directly behind Ribery. Puyol immediately went to block Ribery in the penalty area, but Ribery knocked the ball back to the goal, where Zhao Yaning had already run up at high speed.

By this time, he had gotten rid of Pique and was unmarked in front of goal. After receiving a pass from Ribery, Zhao Yaning looked at the empty penalty area in front of him, and shot directly at the goal!

Valdés jumped this time, and he lifted the ball over the crossbar as if he were in a divine position. However, it didn't take long for the opening to be beaten so badly that Barcelona's players were aware of the crisis.

Real Madrid's midfield trio all have strong individual breakthrough ability. The fact that all three of them were on the pitch at the same time forced Barcelona's Butzques, Abidal and Alves to stay at the back. If Alves can't plug in, it is equivalent to cutting off one of Barcelona's arms, and without anyone to launch a wing attack to open up the width, Barcelona's attack will naturally be contained. At the same time, with people on the left and right holding the ball, Zhao Yaning also has a lot of energy to stop Butzkes from passing. Without this single point of contact, it would be too difficult for Barcelona to control the tempo.

While Barcelona's attack was abolished, Real Madrid's attack was well underway. Although Zhao Yaning gave up most of the time of possession of the ball, when he has the ball at his feet, he can still be used as a breakthrough point or passer immediately. Zhao Yaning's physical fitness and ball skills are first-class, even in such a seemingly chaotic high-speed movement, he can pass the ball very well, so that he can successfully connect the three people in the front court. Real Madrid changed the rhythm this time, relying on their players with strong ball ability, their pace was fast, and as soon as they came up, they kicked the game to Barcelona's expectations.

Barcelona prepared Messi and Xiao Xiaoluo to challenge Zhao Yaning, who knows, but Zhao Yaning came up and stared at Xavi, and Barcelona couldn't resist the direct hit? Although Messi and Xiao Luo are very good, they are not masters of controlling the rhythm, and in this game, if Xavi is suppressed, they will all be deflated.

"It looks like Barcelona is in crisis – no matter how many stars Barcelona have on their side, the pace of the game is still under Real Madrid's control. It can be said that when Zhao Yaning is on the field, he is completely the sun on the field, and no one else can compete with him. ”

Looking at Zhao Yaning's raging, Xiao Xiaoluo and Messi also glanced at each other. It seems that this guy is more difficult to challenge than expected...... Cat flutter Chinese
