Chapter 508 Evenly Matched Situation

What is Barcelona trying so hard to buy Mascherano? Guardiola's idea itself is to use him as an important rotation player, but Busquets is in good health and has high acting skills, and there is no injury Disease, Mascherano got less chance of course.

And Mascherano's position is very dead, he is a defensive midfielder, although he has excellent ball control ability and technique, but he has never played in other positions. Guardiola also used him at the beginning. It is used in the position of defensive midfielder.

After Puyol was injured, oh, our Gua Shuai had a big brain hole and fell in love with Mascherano's moving speed. Pique is not the kind of central defender with faster speed, and Puyol happens to be the kind of turn around A nimble little centre-back.

So Mascherano was developed another skill, playing central defender, not to mention, he played very well, as Guardiola expected, so that the number of appearances and time of Mascherano's appearances was stable. promote.

But Mascherano is not without shortcomings. He is shorter than Puyol, only about 174. This is an inherent disadvantage of heading, and there is no way around it.

Out of the emphasis on this game, Guardiola hesitated again and again to send the captain Puyol who had just returned from injury.

No matter how hard you fight on the field, there is always a handshake before the game. When Zhang Yuan and Messi shook hands, they patted each other on the shoulder and nodded as a big brother greeting. It was Pique's turn, and Pique would not let go of Zhang Yuan's hand .

"You will definitely not be able to score today!" Pique said with a smile.

provocative!provocative!The game hasn't started yet, so I'm called to challenge Lao Tzu!
"Haha, I'm just here to deal with you today. If you can make it to the last game, you can make it to this one!" Zhang Yuan also responded with a smile, he broke free from Pique's hand and walked away.

Real Madrid's starting lineup is 433
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas
Defender: Ramos, Albiol, Carvalho, Marcelo

Midfielder: Pepehdira Alonso

Forward: Ronaldo Zhangyuan Di Maria

Ozil, Kaka and others can only wait on the bench. Kaka should be very clear about the situation now. No matter how the team changes, it is difficult for him to get a stable position.

Barcelona here is also the same old rules 433
Goalkeeper: Valdes

Defender: Alves, Puyol, Adriano

Midfielder: Iniesta Busquets Xavi

Forward: Messi Pedro Villa

This lineup is almost exactly the same as the last time against Barcelona, ​​and this is their strongest lineup.

Today's referee is called Munoz Fernandez. He has nothing to dispute. He has only refereeed the national derby once before. Of course, there were no losers and no winners in that game, so it was a draw.

The pre-match ceremony ended, Fernandez blew the whistle, and the game began. Neither Mourinho nor Guardiola sat on the seats but stood on the sidelines, watching the game.

I have to say that Barcelona is indeed strong. They took control of the ball in a short period of time, but they are destined to work hard today to break through Real Madrid's gate.

Mourinho's instructions on defense today are very clear. The two full-backs, I'm sorry I don't need your assists today. I can't go up halfway, and I don't need your support in the frontcourt. Your task is to cooperate to defend the sides.

The first line of defense is the midfielder. There is more Pepe in the midfielder. He is tall and has long thighs. He is in the center. Khedira and Alonso are separated on both sides of him.

Obtaining the ball is generally handed over to Ronaldo. Ronaldo often retreats to get the ball at the beginning stage.

Zhang Yuan is relatively relaxed, and his task is to stand in front. Since Barcelona is more afraid of his speed, the pair of Pique and Puyol, who have experienced lessons, do not dare to press easily.

Sometimes even if they try to connect and leave Zhang Yuan behind, Zhang Yuan ignores it, carelessly, always unwilling to return to Real Madrid's half, which makes the two of them helpless.

"Aren't you going back?! Look, you've all been crushed!" Pique said these rubbish words to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan whimpered and gave him a blank look, but he didn't answer him, you are arrogant, just wait and see, I must deal with you today!
But just because players like Zhang Yuan are "walking around" unscrupulously at the forward (at least Pique thinks so, Zhang Yuan neither returns to defense nor presses high, wandering around like a lonely ghost, this is not the time to hang out What?!), Pique and Puyol did not dare to let him go easily, and paid a lot of attention to him. The two brothers are not stupid at all. They understand how threatening Zhang Yuan is. , maybe not as famous as Messi and Ronaldo now, but the threat is no less than them.

With such scruples, of course Barcelona's attack cannot be as sharp as the previous game, because Barcelona's offensive method is to move the formation forward as a whole, and now the central defenders can't keep up with the back line, and the team will still be affected.

Because of Real Madrid's pragmatic defensive attitude at home, correct coping strategies, and an attitude of neither arrogance nor rashness, it is really difficult for Barcelona to get a shot, let alone a good shot.

Of course, it is difficult for Real Madrid to get a good chance to shoot, but after 20 minutes, Ronaldo has completed 2 shots. It's a long shot.

Ronaldo's strong project is the subject of long-range shots. These two shots have shown a very good level, but unfortunately they still didn't score. Ronaldo will do this.

Zhang Yuan also completed a shot. In the 17th minute, Ronaldo passed an overhead ball on the left side. He said it was an overhead ball. In fact, Zhang Yuan and Puyol were still required to compete. Zhang Yuan started faster, but Puyol was not slow either. Under his interference, Zhang Yuan managed to put the ball towards the goal of Barcelona. Unfortunately, he lacked all strength and angles, and Valdés caught a direct shot.

Mourinho looked up to the sky and sighed, alas, it was almost too late!However, he also knew that it would be impossible for Zhang Yuan to catch the ball if he switched to other strikers. Zhang Yuan was very reluctant to hit the goal.

Zhang Yuan gave Ronaldo a thumbs up, indicating that the pass was great!
Ronaldo also gave him a thumbs up!

Di Maria on the right is not as good as Zhang Yuan and Ronaldo. This is not the first time that Zhang Yuan and Di Maria are on the court at the same time, but every time Di Maria can’t perform well. No one knows why. The two of them played very few games together, and Mourinho really didn't pay attention to this aspect.

Real Madrid played more directly today. To put it bluntly, it was a reckless striker, but the effect was very good, much better than the previous round.

In fact, Mourinho's tactics today are a bit like the attitude of a weak team against Barcelona. I just defend resolutely, resolutely hit you and counterattack, and cause you trouble.

In the last game against Barcelona, ​​why did Real Madrid lose so many goals? The first reason is that the players’ execution rate of Mourinho’s tactics was not good enough. In addition, sometimes luck is not good, and the result is a terrible score. .

To put it bluntly, Real Madrid's defensive system has rarely been tested. Mourinho's defensive system has been established, but it needs actual combat to run in. It is difficult for other teams to bring substantial threats to Mourinho's team. The purpose of tempering defense is not obvious.

Everyone knows that good goalkeepers and good defensive players can only be produced through continuous training, and the same is true for a mature defensive system.

There is a big difference between Real Madrid and Mourinho in the Premier League and Inter Milan. The Premier League, whether strong or weak, dares to invest troops and rush forward. In essence, Chelsea’s era was not ball-controlling. The team, the pressure on the defense is always there.

In Inter Milan, Serie A is a place that places special emphasis on tactics. Inter Milan's defense line has hardly changed before Mourinho came. All players have invaded Serie A where defense is paramount for many years, and they have implemented Mourinho's tactics quite well.

This is not the case in Real Madrid. The coaches of Real Madrid since Capello have basically put offense first. With the arrival of Mourinho, the establishment of their own ideal defensive system is actually a process from zero to some. .

The style is slowly changing. This cannot be established overnight. It is normal that the team's current defensive strategy cannot meet Mourinho's requirements. In this case, Mourinho decided to increase defensive players. Use quantity to make up for the disadvantages of quality.

Judging from the current effect, it is good. On the scene, Barcelona has the advantage of possession of the ball, but everyone is evenly matched in creating threats, and no one can do anything to win the other.
