Chapter 468 National Derby ([-])

Zhang Yuan is worried about whether Real Madrid is Barcelona's opponent, and the players of their opponent Barcelona may not necessarily have the confidence to win Real Madrid.

The current Real Madrid team is very strong, especially in terms of offense. They are currently the team with the most goals in La Liga. Barcelona has scored fewer goals than them, but Barcelona players have more confidence than Real Madrid players. Under Guardiola's system , they have won all the accolades available on this planet, and they have built a strong self-confidence.

The Barcelona players will quickly put away their fear of Real Madrid's striker, rely on the self-confidence they have built before, and play pass control well as always.

bring it on!Messi also saw the Real Madrid players during the warm-up, and he shouted silently.

Today he wants to break the curse. Facing the team led by Mourinho, Messi failed to score a goal. This is a hurdle for him. Today he wants to cross this hurdle. Of course he wants to score. But I also hope that the team will win, and the cross-hurdle should also be based on the team's victory.

Opposite there was that yellow-skinned, black-haired Chinese boy. He was really good. Messi also had to admit that this guy had a sharp breakthrough. He was so tall, why could he still be as stable with the ball as me? !
The players on both sides were calm during the warm-up, but only he knew the turmoil in his heart, and Zhang Yuan didn't say anything during the warm-up.

Back in the locker room, Zhang Yuan sat on the stool under the closet, closed his eyes and rested his mind, come on!Zhang Yuan, we will definitely win with the team this time!
Zhang Yuan said to himself, in fact, he is not so confident!

It's a strange feeling, it's different at Schalke than at Real Madrid against Barcelona.

This is actually not surprising at all. In Schalke 04, the atmosphere there is better. Zhang Yuan plays very comfortably. Boy, he believes in Mourinho but doesn't believe in Mourinho's formation this time. It's normal for him to be uncertain.

Mourinho did not move his nest in the locker room, but at this time he saw the players returning from warming up, and he did not say anything encouraging. What should be said and done has already been done in Madrid. The possibility of Barcelona changing formation It is zero, because they are the strongest, and their tactics are also admired by many fans as the most advanced. They don't need to change, no matter who they face, there is no such need!

Before the departure, Mourinho hugged the players. Everyone cheered each other and walked out of the locker room to the player tunnel.

"This is the most expensive Spanish national derby in history. Real Madrid is worth 5.18 million euros, and Barcelona is worth 5.28 million euros. They even surpassed the combined worth of the World Cup finals. The contractual damages of the starting players of the two teams are close to 40 billion euros. The broadcast signal of this game will cover most of the world, and the audience watching the live broadcast is expected to reach 6 million people!" Sports Channel commentator Duan Xuan said excitedly at the Nou Camp Stadium.

This time the sports station has really spent a lot of money. This season, they will send a special commentary team to commentate on the two games of the Spanish national derby. Of course, they are not the only ones who do this. Many TV stations have already done this.

As Duan Xuan said, there are too many focus points in this game. The one who has something to do with the Chinese fans is Zhang Yuan. He is a member of the Chinese national team and the number one star in Asia. The fans have high hopes for him, so this is expected One hundred million of the 6 million people in China may come from China.

Players from both sides finally played, Real Madrid's starting lineup is:

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas
Defender: Ramos, Pepe, Cavallo, Marcelo
Defender: Alonso Khedira

Attacking midfielder: Zhang Yuan, Ozil and Ronaldo

Forward: Benzema
This is the standard configuration of Real Madrid. Mourinho's starting lineup is not new at all, because at this point in the season, Real Madrid's lineup has been almost standard since the second round of the league. Today, Benzema's appearance here is just It was just an accident.

Guardiola still has a 433 formation at Barcelona.

Goalkeeper: Valdes

Defender: Alves Puyolpique Abidal
Midfielder Javi Busquets Iniesta
Forward: Messi Villapedro

Guardiola also has a rotation in terms of employment, but this lineup is almost their standard configuration. Of course, his rotation is a bit more diligent than Mourinho. His three forwards today, Messi, are in the middle, but in fact Messi is active. The range is free and wide, equivalent to a pseudo striker.

What is different about Mourinho's formation today is that Zhang Yuan and Ronaldo switched directions. His purpose of doing this is to allow the strongest Ronaldo to attack the relatively weak point of Barcelona's defense, Abidal, Abi Dahl is a decent full-back, and there is still some gap compared with the right-back Alves. Mourinho wants to use a sharp spear to attack Barcelona's weakest link.

As for Zhang Yuan, he has to deal with Alves and Pedro, both of whom are relatively fast players. Mourinho hopes that Zhang Yuan and Marcelo, the two speed players, can resist them. side attack.

Yes, the reason for switching positions is as simple as that. Barcelona’s right-sided offense is fierce. Mourinho does not want Ronaldo to participate too much in the defensive task, but hopes that he can participate in the offense. Zhang Yuan has always The defensive ability has not improved much since then, but at least the attitude is very positive.

Of course Mourinho would not tell everyone this reason, he just found Zhang Yuan and clearly asked Zhang Yuan to return to the defense quickly.

The pre-match ceremony was completed, and the referee Iturralde Gonzalez blew the whistle, and the game officially started. Before this game, the major media were not optimistic about Real Madrid’s trip to the Nou Camp. A considerable part of the reason was that Because the referee Gonzalez was on duty.

He is the patron saint of Barcelona but the nemesis of Real Madrid. He has twice hosted the national derby. As a result, Real Madrid lost 0:3 to Barcelona twice. One of them was the one when Ronaldinho won applause at the Bernabéu Stadium.

In the statistics, except for the national derby, this guy seems to be more partial to Barcelona in the league. No wonder "Marca" and "Aspen" lamented after the referee of the national derby was confirmed: "This time Real Madrid will fall. Bad luck!"

Real Madrid kicked off the ball first, but soon lost the ball in Barcelona's high-position press. In fact, the most basic idea of ​​Guardiola's tactics is total attack and total defense. The most important thing is to actively defend. Once Barcelona Without possession, their players will press several lines upwards, tightly compressing the opponent's passing space, and the opponent often makes mistakes under their pressure and loses possession again.

The most powerful thing about Barcelona is the counterattack on the spot, and the speed of re-launching the attack is quite fast. They cooperate skillfully, successfully counterattack, and can threaten the ball with a few passes.

Mourinho adopted a different defensive strategy from Guardiola today. His strategy is to recover quickly, let the players deploy a tight defense, and form layers in his own half. His defensive posture today is a bit Italian The meaning of defense.

Not long after the start, Real Madrid completely fell into a passive position and retreated to their own half to defend. Zhang Yuan complied with Mourinho's arrangement and retreated to his own half to assist Marcelo in defense.

In the 6th minute, Barcelona created a murderous intention. They got a corner kick. Harvey did not drive directly into the penalty area but passed it to Messi who stepped forward to respond. He shook Zhang Yuan away, and then shot from a small angle, hit the crossbar, and popped out of the baseline.

Zhang Yuan's face is a bit embarrassed, there is no way, Messi's combination of man and ball is also very good, no matter how fast Zhang Yuan reacts, Messi easily loses his center of gravity, does he have any defensive experience, and predicts in advance Not good, and the position is not good.

The king of passing does not mean that you can guess other people's passing tricks. Defense is always disadvantageous. Defense itself is at a passive disadvantage. Now football defense has become more and more about the strength of the team, just to make up for the disadvantages of personal defense.

The defensive player has only two options when defending. On his left and right sides, the opponent may dribble or pass the ball, but they all come from these two directions, and the return pass is not counted. In this way, the defensive player only has a 50.00% chance Judging the direction of the opponent's breakthrough, coupled with the acceleration of the start, the prediction is inherently backward, and the probability of a defensive player defending the opponent is actually very low.

However, due to differences in the field environment and abilities, everyone will often see defensive players displaying personal heroism.

Zhang Yuan's ugly face was not because he was passed by Messi, but because his teammates did not assist him in place this time, and after Messi passed him, he actually directly threatened Real Madrid's goal and almost scored!
