Chapter 1123 Suspense Again
The first Derby of the Century in the new season ended with Real Madrid reversing Barcelona 3-2 on the road thanks to Yang Yang's hat trick. This sparked heated discussions among media and fans around the world immediately after the game.
This is Cristiano Ronaldo's first derby of the century since joining Barcelona, which is full of gimmicks in itself.
In this game, Barcelona's performance was outstanding. Messi took the initiative to transform into a passer, Cristiano Ronaldo's impact and physical confrontation ability, and Neymar's creativity and spirituality in the game. , all make people feel bright, and also reflect Barcelona's powerful offensive firepower.
But compared to the offense, Barcelona's defense was lackluster in the game. Alves couldn't stop Hazard, Alba couldn't stop Carvajal's frontal impact at the last moment, Pique, Mathieu and Bu Together with Scotts, Yang Yang couldn't stop Yang Yang from scoring a hat trick.
It can be said that Barcelona's defense seriously hindered the team's offense.
The same is true for Real Madrid.
On the offensive end, Yang Yang performed a hat trick and became the most outstanding superstar in the game. Hazard basically showed his own strength and tactical value. With his outstanding performance in this century derby, he won the Real Madrid frontcourt for himself. a place.
Although Suarez came on as a substitute, the backheel pass in the final stage showed his aura, and he also left an impression on people with the ball several times in the game, but the most impressive one was in the last few minutes. Barcelona pressed forward with all their players and formed an overwhelming counterattack against Real Madrid. Suarez even retreated to the front of the penalty area to defend.
The Uruguayan forward has an extremely strong desire to play, and his performance in the game also showed his strength.
Marca and AS both agree that Ancelotti will definitely focus on creating a two-forward tactic next, allowing Yang Yang and Suarez to form Real Madrid's frontcourt offensive combination.
As for whether to adopt 442 or 352, it depends on Ancelotti's own choice.
Compared with the excellent offensive end, Real Madrid's defense has serious problems, but it does not lie with the defenders, but with goalkeeper Casillas, especially the team's second goal conceded.
Even Aspen, known as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, believes that Messi's lob completely showed the world that Casillas is getting old.
Whether it was to use four backs or later switch to three backs, Real Madrid's defense switched smoothly and the defense was also very well organized. This aspect of Ancelotti's creation won everyone's unanimous approval.
The German newspaper Bild focused on analyzing Real Madrid's defense and believed that Ancelotti's defensive system is almost complete. Real Madrid's defensive formation can adopt different response strategies and make different changes according to different opponents and different stages of the game. This reflects Ancelotti's coaching ability as a master tactician.
From 433 to 4321 and then to 352, in the last few minutes of Barcelona's crazy counterattack, Real Madrid even returned to the 532 formation. This style of play was used in the past two thousand years. Del Bosque put out the fire midway and led the team. After Real Madrid won the Champions League, it never appeared again, but it happened again this season.
Javi Martinez's performance in this game also won unanimous recognition. He scored very high after the game. The Spanish newspaper El Pais believed that the Basque was very similar to Real Madrid's former champion player Ivan Helguera. , and interestingly, both players are from northern Spain.
Ivan Helguera played as a defensive midfielder in his early days. He was born in Santander, and later went to Albacete, then to Rome, and then returned to Espanyol before coming to Real Madrid in 1999.
Real Madrid was going through turmoil that season. The Welshman Toshack was forced to dismiss get out of class in November because of poor results, and at the same time, he violated the management ban and criticized the club's players. The second team coach Vicente del Bosque was dismissed for the second time. He took over the firefighting midway, and this time his firefighting was very successful, becoming the most successful firefighting coach in the history of European football.
The most successful part of Del Bosque is that he transformed the team's defense line from the original four defenders to five defenders, and moved the midfielder Helgra to the defense line to serve as a central defender.
As a result, this unexpected move completely unleashed Real Madrid's potential, and the defense became very strong. They fought all the way to the Champions League final, defeated Valencia led by Cooper at the time, and successfully won the Champions League championship.
It can be seen that Helguera is very similar to Javi Martinez. They are both from northern Spain. They are both midfielders, but they were transformed into central defenders. They both have excellent ball-playing ability and backcourt scheduling ability. At the same time, his defensive ability is also very good.
Many people believe that Ancelotti's transformation of Javi Martinez, just like Vicente del Bosque's transformation of Ivan Helguera, will bring an excellent central defender to Real Madrid and make the team's back line better. The defense was strengthened.
There is no big problem with the defense, but who are the two responsible for the goals conceded by Real Madrid?
After the game, the media all pointed the finger at team captain Casillas.
Everyone basically believed that the second goal conceded was a major mistake by Casillas, which caused the team to be tied by Barcelona with a one-goal lead. This severely damaged Real Madrid's morale and fighting spirit. Casillas has Inescapable responsibility.
Jose de la Morena, the famous host of Radio Searle, said in his program that after the derby of the century, Real Madrid's determination to introduce a new goalkeeper will be more urgent, and the preferred goal is De Gea at Manchester United and Thibaut Courtois at Atletico Madrid.
These two goalkeepers are very young, and they are also the most promising goalkeepers in world football. Among them, Courtois has proven his strength in Atletico Madrid and the European arena.
De La Morena believes that Yang Yang should be most grateful for Real Madrid's ability to retreat from the away game.
"I can't imagine, without Yang Yang, what kind of disaster this game would be for Real Madrid?"
L'Equipe also published a lengthy commentary after the game, thinking that this was a close game, and that Barcelona and Real Madrid were evenly matched in various statistics, which is a very rare thing.
"In the past few years, although Real Madrid has an advantage in terms of performance, in fact, in terms of ball possession rate and pass success rate, Real Madrid has always been significantly behind Barcelona. The Galacticos have always relied on defensive counterattacks to beat Barcelona. Yes, in the first derby of the century under Ancelotti's coaching, he once tried to play a confrontation, but lost to Barcelona for the first time, which was controversial."
"But now, time has passed, we can see that whether it is the ball possession rate, pass success rate, or from the game scene, we can intuitively and clearly see that Real Madrid is not at all inferior to Barcelona in the game scene. "
L'Equipe believes that this situation is mainly reflected in two aspects. One is the improvement of Real Madrid's overall technical and tactical strength, especially the joining of strong players such as David Silva and Modric, which constantly improves the team's strength. Midfield control.
On the other hand, Barcelona's midfield is gradually aging. Xavi is 33 years old. Although Iniesta is only 29 years old, Martino chose to replace him in the second half of the game. It was Iniesta, not Xavi.
L'Equipe believes that the running ability and physical fitness of Barcelona players are far inferior to those at their peak a few years ago. Without enough running coverage and physical support, Barcelona's midfield pass and ball control ability has declined.
One ebbs and another, which caused Real Madrid and Barcelona to be evenly matched in this game.
However, L'Equipe also analyzed that Real Madrid's player lineup is younger. I believe that it will not take long for Real Madrid to be fully capable of suppressing Barcelona in the midfield.
"On the contrary, in the frontcourt, the frontcourt trident composed of Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the performance of this game is also remarkable, although Ancelotti made targeted defensive arrangements , but was still scored twice, I believe that in the next five years, Barcelona will still have the world's top and most luxurious attacking lineup."
"In comparison, Real Madrid's lineup is unavoidably eclipsed, but they have the number one player in world football, Yang Yang."
"From the derby of the century that just passed, it is not difficult to find that Yang Yang is not only the most important player in the Real Madrid team, but also the most eye-catching superstar in the Nou Camp. The three superstars who have surpassed Barcelona, led Real Madrid to reverse Barcelona with an undisputed hat-trick."
"This reminds us of a joke at the beginning of the season: when Barcelona introduced Sanchez, Real Madrid sold Ibrahimovic and Kaka, and responded that we had Yang Yang; when Barcelona introduced Neymar, Real Madrid sold The response is that we have Yang Yang; when Barcelona introduced Cristiano Ronaldo again, Real Madrid still responded that we have Yang Yang."
"Now, the joke has an initial ramifications when Barça scored twice against Real Madrid at Camp Nou thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, Real Madrid's Yang Yang staged a hat-trick Tricks, led the team to reverse Barcelona in an away game, and completed ten consecutive victories!"
L'Equipe also said at the end that in this derby of the century, Yang Yang's competitive state and strength are undeniably convincing, which also makes the upcoming FIFA Ballon d'Or full of suspense again.
"Perhaps, before the Derby of the Century, we all believed that there should be no suspense for Messi to win the award, because he won the most important championship in 2013, which is the Champions League."
"But now, we have to start guessing whether Yang Yang, who missed out on the Champions League, won the La Liga and Copa del Rey double, and was top scorer last season and this season. Woolen cloth?"
"Especially after the Derby of the Century, we have to admit that Yang Yang did perform better and better, and shouldn't the FIFA Ballon d'Or be awarded to the player who performed better in the past year?"
L'Equipe's question is also a question from the media and fans all over the world.
This derby of the century made the Golden Globe competition, which had no suspense, become full of suspense again because of Yang Yang's outstanding performance.
