The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 515 The Second Battle

5:3, this is the largest score in the Spanish national derby in 49 years.After this game, Barcelona's points were tied by Real Madrid, and they were in second place because of their goal difference disadvantage.

Guardiola's face was very ugly at the press conference after the game. He kept emphasizing the luck of Real Madrid and the brave performance of Casillas, and praised Casillas as the best goalkeeper in the world. "He and Buffon Indistinguishable", praised Ricardo's performance, "He is impressive, I think he has caught up to the height of Ronaldo in my mind."

"We controlled the game most of the time, but in the few times, the stars' flashes decided the outcome of the game."

In short, it is to deliberately downplay the impact of this defeat.

Pellegrini was not too complacent, "This is an important victory, but it is only 3 points. We have to look forward. In a few days, we will usher in the second round of the Champions League. If we hope Defending, this is a hurdle that must be overcome. Barcelona will not surrender easily, so we face a hard fight. I hope to get a good result, but I can't play by myself, everything depends on the performance of the boys. "

"From this game, I still have a lot to learn from Ricardo, he is a real master," said Messi, who has scored 23 league goals this season and is fourth in the top scorer list. , "This is a painful loss. Needless to say, the loss of this game may cost us dearly. We may lose the league title because of it. So the next game is very important for us. If we don't want to With nothing in hand, we have no choice but to win Real Madrid away."

"I believe we can do it," Eto'o said decisively. "We played very well this season and we deserve some credit."

On Real Madrid's side, no one spoke up.Everyone is getting ready.

Soon, on the evening of May 5, the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final started at the Bernabeu.

Barcelona's formation made some adjustments, and Yaya Toure unexpectedly came to the central defender's position, partnering with Pique.Keita, Xavi and Busquets formed the midfield. Due to Henry's injury, Iniesta was adjusted to the striker. He formed a trident with Eto'o and Messi.

Pellegrini returned the formation to 4321.

The defense consists of Pepe replacing Metzelder, Marcelo replacing Heinze, a midfield trio of Lars Diarra, Gago and Sneijder, Kaka on the bench, Ricardo And Robben played left and right wingers respectively.The center is still Higuain, he scored twice in the last game, and Pellegrini hopes that he can continue his good form.

There are some changes to the lineups on both sides, which means the content of the game will also be different.

Real Madrid played a defensive counterattack again. This is not a game that must be won. A draw is acceptable. Pellegrini hopes to score 0:0, and then delay overtime, and finally a penalty shootout.In the past few days of training, the team has focused on training set kicks and penalty kicks.

Barcelona changed two people in the midfield, and the pass control will obviously be adversely affected, while Busquets is responsible for marking Ricardo.

There are obviously some problems with Barcelona's physical fitness. Only 1 minute after the start, Messi dribbled the ball in the midfield. With no one defending him, his legs weakened and fell down. Las Diarra immediately intercepted the ball.

It's a pity that Las Diarra stuck to the ball too much and missed the best opportunity to counterattack. When he took a few steps and passed the ball, Ricardo had already been stared down by Busquets and didn't get the ball There was no room for him to move forward, so he could only return the ball. Gago distributed the ball to the right, and Robben took the ball and cut in and shot a long shot, ending the attack in a hurry.

In the 2nd minute, Eto'o also tried a shot, which was soft and biased, but at least Barcelona had their first shot.

Within 2 minutes, both sides completed the first shot, which indicates that this game will never be as dull as the first round.

In the 4th minute of the opening game, after Messi dribbled the ball to attract two defenders, he separated the ball. Harvey shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area and was blocked, but the football still rolled towards the goal. Fortunately, Ramos returned to defend even though , cleared the ball with a big foot on the goal line.

Although Real Madrid put on a stance of strictly guarding against death at the beginning of the game, the players were very tired psychologically and physically, and the defensive effect was not good.

Of course, Barcelona is not much better.

In the 8th minute, Real Madrid played a fast break, and the ball came to Ricardo's feet. He made a gesture to cut in, but passed the ball to the side with a cross to Marcelo who inserted the assist.

Marcelo crosses the ball to the centre, Las Diarra crosses to the right.

After Robben took the ball, he went down like lightning, and then made a pass. The ball hit Yaya Toure's leg, bounced high, and flew outside the penalty area.

Riccardo has been running after passing the ball. He first ran into the penalty area to prepare to respond, and then retreated immediately, just as the football was flying towards him.

He didn't think about it at all, and put on a posture. Seeing Busquets rushing towards him, he volleyed directly without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.

"Goallllll! Fantastic goal, super goal, unimaginable goal, Ricardo hit a world wave! He copied Zidane's flying fairy! The football hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced into the goal, Valdés has nothing to do! This goal is fully qualified to be the best goal of this Champions League!"

Riccardo was also taken aback for a moment. To hit the world wave requires skill, but also a little luck. He obviously didn't expect his luck to be so good. He scored the first shot in this game, and he played so beautifully.

After he recovered, he ran to the bench, pulled Ronaldo up, and danced a lullaby.Ronaldo's second son has just been born.

Marcelo and Kaka on the bench also came over and swayed together.

This conceded goal dealt a great blow to the Barcelona players. For a while, they made frequent pass errors and could hardly control the rhythm of the game.

Real Madrid recovered for a while after the goal, but quickly attacked tentatively again.

In the 17th minute, Las Diarra sent a through pass to Ricardo. Ricardo missed the ball with his back, then turned around to catch up with the football, overtook Busquets, and passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area after getting down to the bottom line. Si Diarra followed up with an angry shot, full of power, but it was a pity that the plane was released.

In the 23rd minute, Ricardo received a pass from Marcelo on the left and tried to cut in with the ball, but was pulled down by Busquets.Ricardo personally took the free kick. Although the angle was relatively small, he still tried to shoot from the far corner. However, Valdez was very focused, took two steps back quickly, and then took off to lift the ball out of the baseline.
