The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 511 The Most Ruthless Is Time

In this game, Guardiola arranged for Ricardo's close marking.

It was Yaya Toure who was in charge of defending him.

At this time, Yaya Toure has not yet fully developed his offensive attributes, but he has done a good job on the defensive end.

He is tall and big, but very agile, fast, and quick to turn around. He has good defensive predictions and clean defensive moves.

This kind of player who has both strength and agility, as well as defensive skills, is the most suitable type to deal with players who have no shortcomings like Ricardo.

In fact, this season, Busquets has been fighting for the top position strongly, and Yaya Toure's playing time has been compressed a bit.

Busquets is from La Masia. He sits in the midfielder and is more adaptable to Barcelona's tik-tak style of play, making Barcelona's transition from defense to offense smoother.

Although Yaya Toure has good skills, he does not adapt to the current rhythm of Barcelona's pass control.He's good, just not the right fit.

But Guardiola let him play today, not for him to connect the midfielder, but just for him to freeze Ricardo.

At this point, he did a good job.

Under Yaya Toure's close marking, Ricardo felt very uncomfortable.

Now he is not in his best form, the long season has made him very tired, and there are hidden dangers in his body.

At least now he would never dare to use the pendulum to surpass others.

His tired muscles couldn't support him to complete such an action.

He hadn't run at full speed for a long time, because he didn't dare, and because he wasn't cornered.

If he is not forced to, he will not take the risk of getting himself injured.

Now the two sides are just a draw, so Ricardo still has patience, slowly dealing with Yaya Toure.

It is impossible to be completely blocked. Ricardo is very comprehensive. Even if Yaya Toure is close to him, he can drive the team's offense with one kick, let alone Yaya Toure's close defense. On defense, he also has the ability to get the ball.

It is very difficult to pass Yaya Toure. Although he is fast, even if he breaks through, Yaya Toure's long legs can destroy his attack.

But he can hold the ball, he can protect the ball, he can swing the ball out and pass it, and that's enough.

He believes that Kaka and Ronaldo can also complete the offensive task, and there is no need to worry.

Barcelona are in no rush either.

Facing Real Madrid's dense defense today, they patiently fell on the outside.

This season, Barcelona's Tik-Tak style of play has finally reached its peak.

In fact, many fans don't like to watch Barcelona's games this season, because most of the time, Barcelona is passing the ball non-stop, making people drowsy.

They use the pass to cooperate, advance slowly, compress the opponent's space, and then Xavi or Iniesta suddenly send a direct pass, or Messi suddenly dribbles the ball and blasts to create opportunities.

If fans look away temporarily because they are tired of seeing dozens of consecutive passes when they are watching the ball, they may miss that wonderful moment.

If the defensive players relax for a moment in the face of their dozens of consecutive passes, it is likely to expose the gap and give Barcelona a chance to hit a fatal blow.

However, Real Madrid is too familiar with this old opponent, and their attention was focused enough in the national derby, so they have never given Barcelona a chance to enter the penalty area.

In the first 30 minutes, almost all of Barcelona's shots were completed by long-range shots.

It wasn't until the 31st minute that Henry broke into the penalty area through his personal ability and shot vigorously, but the angle was too straight, and Casillas confiscated the ball without difficulty.

Pellegrini watched the situation on the field calmly.He is not demanding, a 0:0 is enough, of course, it would be better if he could steal one from the opponent.

The current situation is not beyond his expectations. Before the war, he has made many deduction for this game, and the current situation is not much different from his deduction.

Barcelona has no good way to defend Real Madrid's intensive defense. They can only kick outside the penalty area or use set kicks to attack, but Real Madrid's frontal defense is not bad, and Barcelona's players lack height. The threat is not great.

Real Madrid's counterattack also failed to cause much trouble to the opponent, because too few troops were invested.

It was expected that Ricardo was strictly defended, and so far, Ricardo has also completed his task, always passing the ball in a timely manner, or running to a suitable position to respond.Pellegrini was not dissatisfied with Riccardo's performance.

What made Pellegrini dissatisfied was Ronaldo.

Today's Ronaldo is too lazy, he doesn't chase the ball at all if he has a half chance, and he doesn't actively move when Ricardo and Kaka get the ball.

Pellegrini made up his mind that if this continues, he will replace Ronaldo with Higuain or Huntelaar in the second half.

In the 39th minute of the game, Barcelona passed the ball in the backcourt. Marcos made a low-level error. The ball he passed to Harvey was weak and the route was very biased.

Ricardo, who was frozen by Yaya Toure for 39 minutes, suddenly broke out at high speed. He intercepted the ball before Harvey, and then quickly passed the ball across.

Kaka rushed up, wiped the ball past Marcos, who was grabbing up, and immediately passed the ball to the goal.

Ronaldo finally ran with all his strength and overtook Pique, but under the interference of Pique's hands and feet, he did not try the goalkeeper again, but shot directly near the penalty spot.

Valdez abandoned the goal at the moment Kaka passed the ball. When Ronaldo shot, he had already blocked most of the angle. With an agile bottom-side pounce, the football hit his leg and popped out.

Ronaldo quickly changed direction, was the first to reach the landing point, and scored another shot with his left foot.

However, with the help of God, Valdés has already completed his stand-up action, and made another side attack, hitting the ball out of the baseline.

Ronaldo looked up to the sky and sighed, he missed Real Madrid's best chance to score.

At this time, is he lamenting the ruthlessness of the years?
If he is 22 years old, he can definitely get to the ball faster, throw Pique far away, and then pass the goalkeeper.

If it was replaced by him who was not seriously injured 2 years ago, he would definitely be able to complete the turn faster and complete the second shot before Valdes got up.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The most ruthless is time.

Throughout the first half, Real Madrid only completed 3 shots, while Barcelona completed 10 shots.

But in terms of shot quality, Barcelona's 10 shots were basically long-range shots, which did not pose any threat, while Real Madrid almost scored.

In terms of ball possession rate, Barcelona has reached 66%, and the pass success rate is also very high.

In general, Barcelona has a certain advantage, but it is still unknown who will win.
