[football] walk side by side

In the stands, tens of thousands of Barcelona fans were stunned and speechless.

In the eyes of many Barcelona fans, Messi is the most inseparable part of Barcelona. As long as this person is still standing on the court, Barcelona must still have the possibility of winning, but this is omnipotent in their eyes. Leo Messi, who was defended by the opponent, was almost misfired by the Real Madrid midfielder in this game.

In the last season, they could relax and watch their team abuse Real Madrid, but since losing to Chelsea in the Champions League, everything has changed.

There is no need to talk to Real Madrid directly. In fact, looking at the league records of the two sides so far, you can see obvious problems.Barcelona's stability in the league this season is worse than Real Madrid's by more than a star and a half. Even in the Champions League group stage, it is obviously not as easy as in previous years. It is far less comfortable than against Manchester United.

The rise of Real Madrid's own overall strength is one aspect, but Barcelona's overall strength has actually begun to decline. It's just that many Barcelona fans don't want to admit it, thinking that as long as they meet again in the national derby, Barcelona will definitely show them true power.

However, the facts in front of them are far more cruel than they imagined——

When Cyril steals the ball from Messi's feet and hoists the ball towards the halfway line, it is not the end of a defense, but the beginning of an attack.

Kaka, who was the first to catch the ball, reached the destination first. Seeing that he could not keep up with the ball, Iniesta immediately stretched out his hand, intending to grab Kaka by the corner of his clothes, so as to slow down the opponent's speed, even if it only delayed This is enough for Barcelona's defensive players to prepare.

But he missed it.

Although he was born in Brazil, Kaka does not have the flashy style of play of Brazilian players. Kaka, who was ready to catch the ball, was a beat slower. Just as he stretched out his hand, Kaka on the other side had already appeared five meters away in front of him, leaving him with a fast-moving figure!

Oops!

Mascherano's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly accelerated and chased in Kaka's direction desperately. At this moment, because of the attack just now, Barcelona's overall defense line is relatively forward, and they also know that Sly De often cooperates with Ronaldo with long-distance over-the-top passes, and has never let up in marking Cristiano, but they never thought that Cyril would immediately give up the marked Cristiano and pass the ball instead. Kaka!

Most importantly, Kaka is faster than Cristiano in terms of dribbling speed!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Kaka! The goal is scored!! Kaka made another victory for Real Madrid! 2:0!! The game has passed 41 minutes, the first half is about to end, and Real Madrid has already led Barcelona by two goals!"

"Barcelona has too much confidence in Messi. They think that Messi will be able to tear through Real Madrid's defense and break through the gate controlled by Iker Casillas. But they are wrong! Messi passed the football to Villa, which makes He got rid of Real Madrid's defense to a certain extent, but Slade didn't give up marking because of the movement of the football, Depero passed the ball to Messi, but gave him the best chance to intercept the ball!"

"Messi in this game seems to be completely out of shape. As the most important scoring point in the frontcourt of Barcelona, ​​the Argentine failed to fire in this national derby. Slade's entanglement made it difficult for him to perform normally. If this continues, Barcelona's prospects will be very dangerous. They hope to use this national derby to narrow the gap with Real Madrid, but now they may backfire."

Before the end of the first half, Mourinho walked into the dressing room first.

The players who were running desperately on the court didn't notice this detail until the referee blew his whistle to announce the end of the first half. When the players habitually looked towards the position of the coach's bench, they realized that There was no sign of the Portuguese on the chair.

Filled with wonder, the players returned to the visiting team's locker room one after another.And then in the locker room, they saw that video of the game that no one wanted to revisit for a long time.

2010/2011 season, La Liga, Camp Nou, miserable 5-0.

The Real Madrid players, who were still in a good mood because of the smooth game in the first half, suddenly fell silent. They couldn't easily erase the game from their memories. For everyone present, this is okay. Said it was the most painful and humiliating fiasco they had experienced in their lives.

So what is Mourinho trying to do with this video now?To motivate players?But everyone knows that Real Madrid has already completed a 2:0 lead over Barcelona. Is it still meaningful to motivate the players now?

"I know that none of you want to relive that game, and neither do I." Under the eyes of everyone with different expressions, Mourinho said lightly: "But I hope you can understand that after going through the last After a bad season, what Real Madrid at this stage, us at this stage, need most."

"Before today's game, many media tried to interview me. They hoped that I could say something that would benefit their sales like last year, but I didn't, and I noticed that you almost didn't. Why?" "Because we have no confidence," Rinho said.

"Because I know that no matter how confident I am in my team when I tell them, they will put that terrible defeat in front of me, tell me, emphasize to me that we have tasted a lot at the feet of Barcelona. What a loss of dignity!"

The locker room was quiet, and no one spoke, because the reason Mourinho said was the reason they chose not to speak to the media.

Mourinho turned off the video.

He turned around and walked to the small tactical board, which was still filled with the lineups of both sides, as well as the names of every player in Barcelona.But this time, he already planned to add even one word to it.

"The only thing that can wash away this shame is to return the same shame to Barcelona."

As soon as Mourinho finished speaking, the locker room was silent for a while.

It's not that Real Madrid players don't want to create a tragedy for their rivals, but in recent years, Barcelona's strength is well known, and Habubai's midfield combination can be called the strongest in history, even in the face of The top giants also have amazing control on the field.

Yes, Real Madrid led Barcelona by two full goals in the first half.

The players were happy, but they did not let down their vigilance. In their perception, Barcelona was still the powerful Dream Three Dynasty. For Real Madrid, it was already beyond their reach to take a two-goal lead in the first half. The expected perfect start, the second half of the game, who will win is still unknown.

However, at this moment, Mourinho told them that he hoped that the team could create a massacre?

For the Real Madrid players, the series of ridicules and blows they encountered after 5-0 made them always want to fight back the pain they suffered. can you do it?

The players looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to distinguish the truth from the falsehood for a while, or maybe my husband was crazy to want revenge on Barcelona. In the end, it was Cyril who took the initiative to ask: "Then what should we do?"

Mourinho smiled silently.

The Real Madrid players didn't say anything, but he could understand their doubts. In fact, before the start of this game, Mourinho did not plan to fight Barcelona. In his original plan, he could win a 3-0 game. Such a score is a pretty good result.

However, the performance of the Real Madrid players in the first half of the game, and the performance of Barcelona itself, were far beyond Mourinho's expectations.

"It's very simple." He turned to face the tactical board again, and his right index finger lightly swipe across Real Madrid's own half from left to right: "In the second half of the game, the overall position of the team should be moved forward, closer to Barcelona's midfield. The midfield and they press. The most important point of Barcelona's tactics is the possession of the ball, but because of this, we can't let the ball fall to Barcelona's feet."

"In the second half of the game, in order to reduce the pressure on Messi, Guardiola and Iniesta and Fabregas may press more forward, and they should come up to help Messi." Mourinho said, his eyes followed It moved to Cyril: "It's the same in the second half of the game. You don't have to worry about other people, just keep an eye on Messi."

"Barcelona's midfield is very strong, but it is undeniable that due to their age, their physical fitness and speed have inevitably declined. The first half of the game may not be obvious. Wait until the second half of the game. , This phenomenon will become more obvious. Barcelona has reached the time when it must be replaced, but their current players are still mainly aging players."

"In the midfield position, Harvey's physical strength will decline in the second half. Fabregas can't support the overall situation now. The only Iniesta is still far from Harvey's ability. As long as Cyril keeps an eye on Messi , We may not be able to score a big score in this game."

On the surface, Barcelona seems to be the same Cosmos team, but judging from this season's record, this former European overlord has inevitably entered a period of decline in terms of strength.

In Mourinho's view, this point has shown some signs when they lost to Chelsea in the Champions League final last season. In this season's league, the three consecutive matches against Sevilla, Valencia and AC Milan Ping, 0-1 against Getafe can also prove many problems.

The so-called Three Dream Dynasties, from the moment they lost to Chelsea, they have inevitably declined.In sharp contrast to this, Real Madrid, whose average age and team tactics are becoming more and more healthy, will surely usher in their peak period!

For ordinary fans, it may be a pity and unbearable thing to watch the great Dream Dynasty decline, but Mourinho does not feel this way at all.On the contrary, the current Real Madrid coach has only one thought left in his mind——

As the saying goes, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, since Meng San's demise is a foregone conclusion, then Real Madrid will personally use a bloody massacre to pay homage to this great old enemy!

The author has something to say: At present, it is generally accepted that the sign of Dream San’s decline began in the 11/12 game against Chelsea, and the 12/13 system became an empty shell. Basically, Messi dragged the whole team away, and then The Champions League was severely humiliated by Bayern, and the Dream Three Dynasty completely collapsed.The butterfly effect of winning the championship with Cyril in 10/11, coupled with the fact that Real Madrid was also on the rise, and the addition of Cyril can be regarded as replacing Bayern's role in humiliating Barcelona in reality, so it also accelerated the destruction of Dream Three.
