Chapter 1222 Batty Goal
On October 25th, at 18 o'clock sharp, the Bernabéu Stadium.
The much-anticipated derby of the century began with referee Manzano's whistle!
Sure enough, Barcelona played in a four-three-three formation as Ancelotti had expected before the game, and Harvey also appeared in the starting list impressively, which made everyone at Real Madrid more confident and believed that the team could win the opponent at home.
But what no one expected was that less than four minutes into the game, Messi sent a long pass from the right to Neymar on the left side of the front of the penalty area. After throwing off Carvajal, he got rid of Varane, volleyed with his right foot, and went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.
This sudden goal made everyone in Barcelona excited, and at the same time surprised the Real Madrid players.
The ball was conceded at the beginning, and some players didn't even touch the ball.
The teenager Varane raised his right hand high, signaling to his teammates that it was his problem.
Just now when Messi transferred the long pass, Carvajal had already blocked Neymar's line for the first time. After the Brazilian dribbled the ball horizontally and cut inward, he entered Varane's defense zone, and Varane was heading towards the goal at the time. Moving to the right, I had to make an emergency stop and change direction to avoid blocking. As a result, at the moment of emergency stop and change direction, my feet slipped a little and I didn't keep up with it in time.
Real Madrid was a little stunned at conceding the goal, but they all came to their senses soon.
"It's okay, it's okay, cheer up, it's okay, we will catch up soon."
Yang Yang applauded vigorously, loudly boosting the morale of the team. He even ran back from the front, hugged Varane vigorously, gave him encouragement, and signaled him to continue to work hard and not to be discouraged.
"Okay, let's start preparing, it's still the tactics before the game."
Following Yang Yang's shout, everyone in the team responded in unison, and could only return to their respective positions, ready to kick off again.
...
The conceded goal in more than three minutes was indeed an accident.
Messi's big foot transfer and Neymar's horizontal inward cut with the ball are of course not accidental. The accident is because Varane did not block Neymar in the first place, which gave the Brazilian a chance to kick.
Accidents like this happen all the time on the football field, and often some very slight and inconspicuous details are changing the trend and pattern of the game.
After the re-kick-off, the Bernabéu fans gave warm applause and encouragement to the Real Madrid players.
Real Madrid players are not discouraged on the court. They have fallen behind many times this season, but they can always reverse, and they have Yang Yang. As long as Yang Yang is there, Real Madrid will definitely be able to score goals. This is after many years. A kind of enigmatic confidence generated by Yang Yang.
Another very important thing is Ancelotti's pre-match deployment.
Through clear and clear tactical analysis, let all players understand how to beat Barcelona. This made Real Madrid not panic even if they lost the ball shortly after the opening. Everyone calmed down quickly under Yang Yang's appeal.
Ancelotti also made a surprise move in this game.
Real Madrid's lineup still looks like 442, but it's not actually 442.
The double forwards are Yang Yang and Suarez, but the positions of the two are relatively erratic. Basically, one is in the front and the other is behind, or one is in the middle and the other is on the side.
On the right side of the midfield is Di Maria. The Argentine is not in very good form this season, and his momentum is even somewhat suppressed by the upstart James Rodriguez. As a result, he is also suffocating in this game. .
As Ancelotti said, when it comes to big competitions, you don't need to be familiar with it.
Luis Enrique would rather win Rakitic than veteran Xavi, and Ancelotti also chose Di Maria instead of James Rodriguez, who has been in good form recently.
But in midfield, Ancelotti is more aggressive.
Mascherano didn't start again, replaced by a midfield duo of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, with the other not David Silva, the Spanish midfielder was full against Liverpool audience.
It's Isco!
What is even more surprising is that when the team is attacking, Ancelotti's tasks for the midfielder have also been adjusted. Isco retreated, forming a three-midfield with Toni Kroos and Modric. , Di Maria pressed forward and participated in the frontcourt attack.
This is undoubtedly a very bold surprise soldier, and the reason why Ancelotti arranged this way is that in addition to the rotation, the more important thing is to target Harvey and at the same time form a strong force against Barcelona's right-wing Alves side. onslaught.
In the sixth minute, Real Madrid got a free kick from the left, but the position was too wide. After Toni Kroos sent a set kick, he failed to pose a threat, but then Di Maria sent a direct pass. Suarez The shot from the small penalty area went slightly wide.
This is also Real Madrid's first shot of the game.
Just two minutes later, it was Real Madrid's attack from the left. After receiving a pass from Isco, Marcelo forcibly broke into the left side of the penalty area and made a cross, but Pique took the first step to block and the ball was disturbed. Whether it was Yang Yang who followed from the middle, or Suarez who followed behind, neither could catch up with the ball.
Although he failed to create a threat, Yang Yang still gave Marcelo a thumbs up from afar.
Through the three midfielders, and Di Maria, to suppress Barcelona's midfielder, cut their midfielder from the front trident, resulting in a disconnection of the offensive line, this is Real Madrid's defensive strategy in this game.
Another strategy was to wear down Barcelona, especially Xavi, through fast-paced running and pressing.
The game has just started, and the latter one is not very obvious, because the physical fitness of each other is not bad, but as the game progresses, I believe it will become more and more obvious.
Everyone at Real Madrid continued the game with such confidence.
Luis Enrique obviously also quickly realized the problem of disjointed attack in the midfield. Although having Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt has enriched Barcelona's offensive routines, in fact, it is still difficult for Barcelona to pass the ball forward. field to go.
Since the pass can't pass, the players in front can only come back to get it.
Alves and Alba faced a lot of defensive pressure in this game, and the defense line was weak. Luis Enrique did not dare to let the full-backs press too much, otherwise, Real Madrid would form a two-on-two counterattack at any time.
With the personal abilities of Yang Yang, Suarez and Di Maria, not to mention playing more and playing less, even if they are evenly matched, they can't stop Real Madrid's attack, especially Yang Yang's sharp knife.
Therefore, Neymar and Messi have frequently retreated from the eighth minute, hoping to receive the pass from the midfielder.
This is also an old problem for Barcelona.
The midfield lacks impact!
Especially when Harvey is getting old and Iniesta is getting older, their midfield running coverage ability and forward impact are getting more and more, and the strategy of this game It is to beat the speed with the slow.
Luis Enrique is also very clear, fighting fast, they are not as good as Real Madrid, it can only bring Real Madrid, a runaway wild horse, to the most familiar and most suitable game rhythm of Barcelona, and then use his rich experience And the tacit passing of the ball to beat Real Madrid.
That was the case with the goal just now.
Passing the ball slowly and backwards, in the frontcourt, Real Madrid's defense showed flaws, Messi suddenly moved with a big foot, and Neymar scored a goal relying on his personal ability.
But Ancelotti certainly did not intend to let Barcelona's plan succeed.
The midfielders of Toni Kroos, Modric and Isco are very high. The whole team adopts a high position to press. Ramos and Varane in the defense are also actively rushing up to put pressure on Barcelona. , Raise the tempo and play fast.
Once the ball is intercepted by the force, Real Madrid quickly counterattacks, usually within five feet and sent to the threat area of the frontcourt.
This kind of rapid back-and-forth impact consumes a lot of Barcelona's midfield, and they can't even keep up.
From the tenth minute onwards, Real Madrid was making frequent threats.
Marcelo's left side was particularly active. The Brazilian left back even looked more like a left winger. He first received the ball from Isco, formed a strong breakthrough on the left side, and made a pass before going down to the bottom line. In the penalty area, the player who was following up in the middle was a bit slow, and the ball slid past the goal, which shocked Barcelona into a cold sweat.
Mathieu cleared the siege with a big foot and kicked directly out of the boundary.
After re-opening the ball out of bounds, Real Madrid still formed a siege to Barcelona, and quickly transferred the ball from the right to the left again. Marcelo once again dribbled the ball into the hinterland of Barcelona, but this time he was in The front of the restricted area was divided to the left.
Isco took the ball and faced the two defensive players of Alves and Busquets. The Spanish teenager was like a dancing elf, with both feet skillfully circling the ball, which was very pleasing to the eye, but he just failed to form a breakthrough.
But just when everyone thought that Isco would be intercepted, the young player suddenly dunked over and threw a cross into the front of the penalty area. Yang Yang had already ambushed in the penalty area and grabbed the forward Point, header.
The goalkeeper Bravo was very focused, and instinctively blocked Yang Yang's shot with both hands.
Yang Yang realized that it was difficult when he headed the ball, because Bravo was in a good position, but before he had time to regret it, he saw the ball was saved again, and he immediately chased after it Going up, ahead of Mathieu, the right foot stopped the ball forward, and the whole person quickly jumped out from Mathieu's side.
This stop completely miscalculated Mathieu, who was planning to clear the siege with his big foot, but Yang Yang quickly caught up and shot without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.
It was a sudden shot from the right corner of the penalty area. Yang Yang hit it fast, accurate and ruthless. Even though the goalkeeper Bravo was alert, he still couldn't react in time.
By the time Bravo realized the danger, Yang Yang's volley had already broken through Barcelona's goal.
Very violent!
But it is very clean and neat, hearty!
This makes people can't help but think of Batty, the god of war who was famous in the world football more than ten years ago, and his famous stunt, Batty Goal.
The passion of more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the entire Bernabéu also burst out in this explosive shot.
