Chapter 551: Completely Suppressing the Deadly Enemy Barcelona
After falling behind, Barcelona naturally wanted to equalize.
However, they did not dare to confront Real Madrid like they did in the last derby.
Facts have proved that Real Madrid's offense is much sharper than Barcelona's. Only by making good use of their own advantages and strengths can Barcelona be able to deal with Real Madrid.
However, although Barcelona has a high ball possession rate, they mostly defend the ball in the backcourt. After hitting the frontcourt, there are still not many ways to face the defense line trained by Mourinho, and the shooting accuracy is not as good as that of Mourinho. On Lu Wenbin, he has not been able to score.
Until the end of the first half, Barcelona failed to score a goal to equalize the score, and the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-0.
With Lu Wenbin assisting Higuain's goal, Real Madrid gained a slight advantage of one goal.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
After the start of the second half, Barcelona, which was behind, did not rush to equalize the score, but continued to use their possession advantage to deal with Real Madrid.
Guardiola and Barcelona's players have already known through the 0-6 defeat in the last game that they must not rush to play against Real Madrid, which is good at counterattacks.
Otherwise, it is possible that Real Madrid will seize a counterattack opportunity and kill with one blow.
Without an excellent offensive opportunity, Barcelona will not easily pass the ball into the Real Madrid penalty area.
Although that is the closest to Real Madrid's goal, it also has the most defensive power and is the easiest to lose the ball.
Now Barcelona would rather not score a goal than lose the ball easily and be hit back.
The 0-6 defeat in the last game is really impressive.
Barcelona didn't attack easily, and Real Madrid didn't press into the frontcourt to press. Anyway, it's not Real Madrid who are behind in the score now.
Until the 80th minute, the score of both sides was still 1-0.
Naturally, Real Madrid is not in a hurry. Anyway, if they maintain this score until the end, Real Madrid will win.
Even a one-goal lead is an advantage.
Barcelona shouldn't be in a hurry, because history proves that there are many two-legged games that can return to home in the second leg to comeback after a small 0-1 loss in the first leg.
But players are not machines, they have a mind of their own.
The last 0-6 defeat was an absolute shame for Barcelona.
No, there are many Real Madrid fans in the stands who are constantly using their hands to stimulate the Barcelona players with six fingers. This is a response to the slaps that Barcelona slapped after the 5-0 comparison last season.
Therefore, although Guardiola told the players not to be impatient and slowly look for opportunities, even if they lose the first round with a score of 0-1, it is not the end of the world, and Barcelona still has a chance to return to the home court to make a comeback.
But some players lost their minds in the heat of the game.
In the 84th minute, Chilean striker Sanchez became a little impatient. He should have passed the ball to Messi, who was in a better position, but he took a long shot from outside the penalty area.
This long-range shot was blocked by Khedira flying to block the hole, and the blocked ball just bounced to Xavi Alonso's feet.
It was precisely by using Sanchez's shot that was blocked, Real Madrid played an efficient and quick counterattack. After passing through Alonso and Ronaldo, Lu Wenbin received a cross from Ronaldo outside the penalty area and completed a high Quality heavy shelled doors.
The ball blasted directly into the dead corner of Barcelona's goal, and Valdés was beyond his reach, so he could only watch the ball hit the net.
According to statistics after the game, this was another shot with a speed of over 100 km/h.
Even if Valdez touches the ball, it may be difficult to fish it out.
After 0-2, the Barcelona team finally became anxious.
0-1 behind, the chance of a comeback at home is not small. But behind 0-2, the chance of a comeback at home in the second round is much smaller.
Even Guardiola became anxious, and the Barcelona players on the field finally pushed up the formation, wanting to score a goal in the final stage of the game, narrow the score gap, and get an away goal.
However, it was too late to press the attack at this time, and there was too little time left for them.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. With Lu Wenbin's one pass and one shot, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-0 at home and won the fourth Spanish national derby this season. Got the initiative in the two rounds of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.
However, although Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-0, the advantage of two goals is not great.
They only won 2 goals at home, and they may not be able to advance in the second round.
Therefore, four days later, in the 20th round of La Liga on January 22, Real Madrid challenged Athletic Bilbao in an away game. Real Madrid's main players such as Lu Wenbin and Ronaldo stayed in Madrid to rest. away to Athletic Bilbao.
Although Real Madrid played away in this game, Kaka and Higuain each scored a goal, but Athletic Bilbao was also very tenacious and equalized the score twice.
After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 2-2. Real Madrid finally stopped the league winning streak after winning 14 games after the 5th round.
However, the failure to beat Real Madrid at home made Athletic Bilbao miss a chance to stop Real Madrid from continuing to set a record.
Real Madrid's unbeaten record in the league continues.
Three days later, on January 25, in the second round of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away.
Although Barcelona played very well amid the cheers of the fans, they scored a total of 3 goals in the game.
However, the stars of Real Madrid, who had a round of league break in the middle, performed even better.
Moreover, the fact that the total score is behind makes Barcelona have to attack. If you don't attack, you will face the fate of being eliminated.
Therefore, Real Madrid can play their defensive counterattack tactics leisurely.
In the end, relying on the overall tactics and the sharpness of the counterattack, Ronaldo scored twice and Lu Wenbin scored a hat-trick. Real Madrid won again with two goals 5-3 in the away game. Real Madrid scored 2-0 in the first round and 5-3 in the second round. With a score of 7-3, they advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey this season.
In the five Spanish national derbies that have been played so far this season, Real Madrid has the upper hand with a record of five victories.
In particular, the 6-0 bloodbath of Barcelona at home in the league is definitely the biggest victory Real Madrid has achieved in the national derby in the past ten years.
Compared with the situation where Real Madrid was almost completely suppressed by Barcelona in Spanish domestic football in the previous seasons, Real Madrid this season has undergone earth-shaking changes.
What caused the earth-shaking changes in the balance of power between the two sides is clear to everyone.
Although coach Mourinho has a certain role, it is obvious that Lu Wenbin's role is more direct and effective.
No matter what tactics Barcelona plays, Lu Wenbin can always score goals, which is why Barcelona keeps losing to Real Madrid.
No matter how demanding fans are now, no one dares to question Lu Wenbin's role.
Lu Wenbin's prestige and influence among Real Madrid fans is increasing day by day, and Lu Wenbin's commercial value is also continuing to expand.
