I Just Can Score

The game at the Bernabeu has officially begun.

The cheers from the surrounding stands were non-stop. Real Madrid fans were extremely looking forward to the team defeating Barcelona again. However, Real Madrid did not show strength. Instead, their formation shifted backwards, allowing Barcelona to have enough space. He kept passing the ball in the middle and backfields, and the unhurried pace on the court was a bit surprising.

It seems Real Madrid are in no hurry.

Madrid commentators are worried about Real Madrid, But Pellegrini should know that it will be very dangerous for Barcelona to have continuous possession of the ball like this and wait for them to find their rhythm and feel.

Barcelona is a team that needs to control the rhythm. Their favorite rhythm is to constantly control the ball, pass continuously in the midfield and backcourt to stabilize the rhythm, and then tentatively pass forward, and when they find opportunities, the rhythm immediately speeds up.

This style of play will give your opponent a headache.

When Barcelona is in possession of the ball, stepping forward to fight for the ball means that loopholes are likely to appear in the backcourt. If Barcelona does not move forward to fight for the ball and let the opponent control the ball, morale will be severely affected, which is equivalent to handing the initiative to the opponent.

All coaches who know Barcelona know that if they want not to lose to Barcelona on a tactical level, they must take the initiative to control the rhythm.

This requires strengthening the fight.

certainly.

If you play in a more aggressive way, it is equivalent to playing head-on. The confrontation will make the game exciting, and it will also make the defensive loopholes in the backcourt more frequent.

Another approach is to passively defend and counterattack.

No matter how much Barcelona has the ball, they must pass the ball forward if they want to score. As long as they stabilize the defense in front of the goal and do not give the opponent a chance in a dangerous position, they can intercept the ball and launch a counterattack.

Above, two methods.

Most professional football people who follow the game believe that Real Madrid will choose the former, because Real Madrid's lineup is no worse than Barcelona. They also have a strong striker composed of Zhen Shaolong and Ronaldo, and their scoring efficiency is even higher than Barcelona.

Now that the game has just begun, they realize that their judgment was wrong.

Real Madrid chose the latter.

Many people were surprised and couldn't help but praise him. Inter Milan coach Mourinho was one of them.

Inter Milan is also qualified to play against Barcelona, ​​but the chance of winning is definitely not as good as the defensive counterattack. Mourinho has decided on the tactics against Barcelona. He believes that giving Barcelona a chance is too dangerous, and the defensive ability Bring victory.

Real Madrid's lineup is stronger, but it is relatively immature. The coordination is very different from Barcelona. The opportunities created in the confrontation are definitely not as good as Barcelona, ​​and they can only compete hard in the midfield and frontcourt efficiency.

If a player is not in good condition or has some bad luck, he may face a loss or even collapse directly.

The defensive counterattack is much more solid.

Even if the midfield and frontcourt players are not in good condition, as long as Barcelona is not given too many opportunities, there is still hope of winning.

Anyway.

Defensive counterattack is the best way to deal with it.

It was not easy for Pellegrini to make this choice. Real Madrid's lineup is too gorgeous and the results are too good. In the game at the Bernabeu Stadium, choosing a passive style of play will bear a lot of pressure.

This is what Mourinho values ​​highly.

On the field.

The slow pace at the beginning of the game made people feel a little sleepy. Real Madrid's defense was very solid, and Barcelona even passed the half-time. Zhen Shaolong was the only one running near the midline. His slow and unhurried demeanor, it seemed that It looked like he was sleepwalking, as if he didn't care whether he could get the ball or not. The other Real Madrid players simply stopped going.

This situation made the fans in the stands very unhappy.

The game lasted for six minutes. Barcelona only took the initiative to attack twice. They were blocked before reaching the penalty area line. Real Madrid made a wave of endless advances. The football was passed around most of the time. The pace was so slow that it was frustrating. It feels like we are fighting for harmony, not a national derby.

The Madrid commentators smiled bitterly and said, The start of the game is a bit unexpected!

Real Madrid's pressing was not proactive. Barcelona kept controlling the ball, but they couldn't find a good opportunity.

But you can't just look at the surface of the game. Now it's a duel between experts. It seems to be slow and unhurried, but once you find the opponent's weakness, the game will immediately become tense!

Indeed!

Barcelona kept passing the ball from the outside, and they kept looking upfield to find weaknesses in Real Madrid's defense.

After passing the ball for more than ten consecutive times, Busquets was the first to be unable to resist. He glanced towards the Real Madrid goal and immediately transferred the ball to Xavi on the right.

Xavi is the engine of Barcelona's attack.

In Barcelona's 433 formation, Xavi plays the role of right midfielder, and in front of him is Messi, the right forward. Messi's importance in Barcelona's formation is unquestionable. What does it mean for the football to be sent to Xavi's feet? Just imagine it.

Real Madrid's defense immediately became alert.

This time Xavi did not pass the ball back, nor did he pass it forward to Messi, who was closely guarded. Instead, he found the right opportunity and kicked it to Henry.

Henry did not enjoy success at Arsenal and could only serve as the left forward in the formation.

All eyes are on Messi.

Henry glanced at the direction of the penalty area, met the ball and passed it to the edge of the penalty area, where there was the tall Swedish high forward--

Ibrahimovic!

Ibrahimovic has a sufficient height advantage. He is a bright signal tower when he stands on the court. He noticed Henry's pass, immediately turned around and took a wrong step forward, and then prepared to use his strong body to squeeze out enough Lots of space.

He failed!

Ramos was not easy to deal with. The moment the football fell, he suddenly jumped up and touched the ball with his forehead.

The football deflected to one side.

Diarra kicked the ball out of the penalty area. Kaka got the ball from the outside and immediately kicked it to Granero on the wing.

Granero passes C-Ronaldo again.

Real Madrid fights back!

When Granero passed the ball, cheers rang out from the surrounding stands. Ronaldo successfully controlled the ball and accelerated forward, making the cheers rise by dozens of decibels.

Barcelona switched from offense to defense, and their formation quickly retreated.

C-Ronaldo dribbles the ball fast enough, and his explosive power is really strong. He accelerated and sprinted past Busquets, and then jumped over Puyol to protect the ball.

Puyol and Busquets followed C-Ronaldo.

Busquets was a little unable to keep up for a while, but Puyol could barely keep up, but it was not easy to grab the ball. While Ronaldo was dribbling the ball, he suddenly made a small change of direction and barely managed to dodge a little. Space, he immediately looked forward and to the right.

Pass the ball!

C-Ronaldo kicked the ball to Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong was strictly restricted.

When C-Ronaldo rushed forward with the ball, Zhen Shaolong also rushed forward quickly. He was positioned further forward than C-Ronaldo, but he was also restricted by Pique and Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure and Pique, one old and one young, are Barcelona's central defender combination.

Any forward who is defended by two central defenders will feel a headache, and Zhen Shaolong is no exception. However, Ronaldo's pass was quite obedient and he kicked the ball just behind Pique and to the left of Yaya Toure, just enough for Zhen Shaolong to pass. Catch the ball.

This pass shocked many people.

C-Ronaldo! Very exciting!

This pass is great, just right for Zhen to catch it! It's really amazing, the level is very high!

C-Ronaldo, when we lament his personal skills, we must not forget that he also has a master-level passing level...

This is embarrassing.

C-Ronaldo didn't even believe that he had a 'master-level' passing level. When he passed the ball just now, he found that his kick was a little off. He probably didn't control it well. He was clearly aiming at a point in front of Zhen Shaolong, but the ball passed. A little behind, unexpectedly, Pique just ran by, and Zhen Shaolong could easily catch the ball.

This ball was passed really well!

C-Ronaldo sighed for himself. He would not admit that it was luck, but convinced himself that it was the real level.

Zhen Shaolong didn't know whether C-Ronaldo's pass was luck or the corrective power of the temporary effect of the system task. In any case, he successfully received the pass.

He didn't have time to think about it.

The moment he controlled the ball, Zhen Shaolong exploded with speed. He rushed forward with both legs. The instant increase in speed caught Pique off guard, and Yaya Toure on the other side simply failed to keep up.

Is this guy...too fast?

While Pique was sighing in surprise, he still managed to keep up and prepare for a small foul.

This is a tactic!

Before the game started, Guardiola emphasized that when defending Zhen Shaolong, he can use fouls to stop him.

Now is the right time. Pique is not confident that he can stop the ball. He feels that he will be pulled behind in a few steps and there is no chance for him to commit a foul. His foul experience is not bad and he knows that he should try to stop the ball. , body contact occurs during the process of blocking the ball, and they fall to the ground after touching each other. As long as the movement is not too big, the possibility of getting a card is small.

certainly.

A warning is inevitable.

Compared with defending Zhen Shaolong, getting a yellow card can be said to be worth it, and warnings or other things don't matter at all.

Pique looked down and saw the ball!

That moment.

Pique suddenly realized that he could grab it directly, because Zhen Shaolong's ball control was not very good, especially when he started to accelerate and dribble, he kicked the ball more than a meter away, and he could kick the ball away just by stretching his foot.

He did so.

Zhen Shaolong didn't care about Pique's movements at all. The moment he rushed past Pique, he triggered the 'football following effect'. The 'football following effect' triggered during the mission was different from Strike. There was physical contact with the opponent, and there would be no Forcefully interrupt the effect.

So he used his time to rush forward.

Pique stretched his legs!

Zhen Shaolong continued to rush forward, taking advantage of the momentary difference in movement to take an extra step, as if he was faster than a football.

This is how Pique felt. He was still a little confused and thought, Is this guy ignoring the ball? How can he rush...

ah?

Pique was stunned.

Just now, he was 100% confident that he could stop the ball, but when he stretched his foot in front of the football, the football bounced slightly while it was rolling and jumped over his feet just right?

what happened?

Pique's mouth opened wide for a moment, and he stopped in place in surprise, watching Zhen Shaolong drive away with the ball.

Yaya Toure followed and shouted, Chase!

Pique just stared.

After Zhen Shaolong successfully got rid of Pique, the front became empty. He took the ball and took another step. Less than ten meters from the penalty area line, goalkeeper Balders also rushed out.

Valdez looks like a brave warrior, with a resolute expression that makes him look forward to death!

So was his mood.

Barcelona played against Newcastle United last season and against Real Madrid this season. After a few games, Valdes had a shadow on Zhen Shaolong.

This guy came close to scoring an average of three goals against Barcelona.

Seeing Zhen Shaolong rushing towards the goal alone, Valdez already had a headache. He knew what would happen next, but he still had no choice but to rush out of the goal, showing a perseverance.

Zhen Shaolong shot!

Valdez reacted in advance, raised his hands high and jumped up. He didn't even make a judgment because he knew it was useless to make a judgment.

This is experience!

really!

The football flew high past Valdez, and then fell accurately into the net. Valdez turned his head and watched the football enter the net, and could only show a helpless expression.
