Chapter 920 Kill Them! Don't Lose!

When referee Cesar Muniz Fernandez took out the scarlet card from his breast pocket, Real Madrid centre-back Fermaelen covered his face in despair and turned around in frustration. Go outside.

At this moment, his heart was full of despair.

The first season at Real Madrid was a success for Fermaelen.

Although he competed with Pepe in the early stage, he did not lose out. Later, Pepe's serious injury gave Vermaelen a chance to perform. The Belgian also seized the opportunity and became the main force of Real Madrid in one fell swoop. The midfielder did a great job.

It can be said that in addition to defending the disadvantage of high, Ramos and Fermaelen's partner is the hero of Real Madrid's double crown this season.

But no one thought that after Pepe came back from injury, he was in a very brave state this season and performed quite well.

The Brazilian Portuguese central defender is a pillar-type central defender and is more complementary to Ramos' partner. Moreover, he is fast, has obvious physical advantages, and has a strong ability to defend against high balls, all of which allow him to gradually suppress the competition. Malan.

This season, the competition between the three central defenders of Real Madrid has made a lot of progress in the strength of the three central defenders. Many people even joked that after Pepe returned from injury, he transformed into a world-class central defender, and his overall strength improved by leaps and bounds. .

But this is not good news for Fermaelen, and he is also under great pressure.

After finally waiting for the opportunity of the derby of the century, Vermaelen also showed his best side, diligent on the court, he did not even make a single mistake in the first half, and also headed the ferry and assisted Yang Yang to score. .

If the script went down the lines of the first half, Fairmaelen deserves everyone's praise.

But as a result, he made a mistake that should not have occurred.

It was a counterattack by Real Madrid. The team played very high, the midfield was pressed up, and the back line had to move forward.

According to Ramos and Fermaelen's ideas, Messi has retreated so deep, and it's okay to press the defense forward at all. They are confident that they can catch up as soon as possible, and they can also help their teammates in the midfield.

But who could have imagined that Barcelona actually seized this point to play in the second half, a quick counterattack, Messi retreated, but Villa suddenly moved forward quickly, and Harvey's long pass from a distance of 40 meters went directly to Real Madrid. Behind the line of defense, it quickly spread to the restricted area.

Ramos was completely thrown off, and Fermaelen chased back all the way, but failed to block Villa from the outside of the penalty area. The two entangled and rushed into the penalty area. As a result, Fermaelen couldn't dodge and was hit by the ball. In his hand, he subconsciously pulled Villa again, and the Spanish striker fell into the penalty area.

Red card plus penalty!

The referee did not intend to show mercy.

The whole Bernabeu was booed.

Fermaelen lowered his head and didn't dare to look at anyone, he didn't dare to look at the fans in the stands, and he didn't dare to look at his teammates. He felt ashamed.

Although intellectually, he felt that he had done enough and had tried his best.

Suddenly, an arm came over from the side and wrapped around his neck hard, a figure slammed over him, and then he heard Yang Yang's voice.

"Hey bro, don't look down, you're doing great, you should keep your head up."

Fermaelen stopped, suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Yang, his eyes suddenly turned red.

At this time, Yang Yang still remembered his brother.

"I'm fine." Fermallen forced a smile.

"Don't worry, we prefer ten people to fight." Yang Yang joked.

Fermaelen was amused, but soon became serious, looking at Yang Yang deeply, "Kill them! Don't lose!"

If he loses, he is the sinner of Real Madrid!

Yang Yang frowned, but nodded heavily, pointing to the player tunnel on the sidelines, "You just wait there."

Fermaelen nodded, he knew that if Yang Yang agreed, he would definitely do his best.

When the Belgian central defender walked out of the field, Benitez also came over to shake his hand.

The mistake this time is indeed inseparable from him, but he can't be blamed. It can only be said that Real Madrid's defense line is a bit too high, and Barcelona seized the opportunity and directly penetrated it.

The sad reminder of Vermaelen is that he desperately chased back and became the last defensive player.

…………

…………

Messi calmly scored a penalty!

It was his 32nd La Liga goal of the season.

And Barcelona has one more person than Real Madrid, which makes Real Madrid's next game very difficult.

Benitez made a substitution for the first time and replaced Di Maria with Abeloa.

It was a tactical substitution, as Real Madrid had one man less than their opponents.

The original situation was very bad, the ball possession rate was only more than 30%, and the current situation will be even worse.

After Arbeloa played, Real Madrid adopted a tactic similar to the five-back, Ramos and Arbeloa on both sides, and Javier Martinez retreated to the central defender, occupying the middle position.

Xavi Alonso and Mascherano are returning to the double midfielder tactics. Maicon and Marcelo on the left and right sides are positioned relatively forward, almost the same as the double midfielder, moving forward. It can be a midfielder, a back-up or a full-back.

As for the front, I will leave the double striker combination of Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang.

Three-four-two, or five-two-two, this is the tactic of Real Madrid after one less player.

As for the scene, as everyone expected, Real Madrid completely lost the ball.

Barcelona's already dominant pass and control have become even more like a duck to water, and the ball control rate has increased by more than 70%.

Real Madrid began to retreat across the board, filling the gaps in the team's back line, not seeking to attack, but not to concede the ball.

In the 62nd minute, Barcelona created a threat. After Pedro cooperated with Alves on the right, he returned to find Xavi, but the Barcelona midfielder's shot was stoked off the crossbar by Casilla. can pose a threat.

Real Madrid also played a quick counterattack in the 69th minute. Yang Yang forced the ball to break through from the left and hit the right side of the Barcelona penalty area. When facing Puyol, he forced a one-on-one overtake and made a cross with his left foot in front of the goal. , but the header of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who followed, was slightly wide and failed to form a goal.

Two minutes later, Messi saw that the team couldn't break through Real Madrid's defense. He dribbled the ball and found Villa in the penalty area.

Barcelona had the absolute advantage on the pitch, Real Madrid was forced to hide in front of the goal, and even Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic retreated to the 30-meter area to participate in the defense, harassing Barcelona's midfield and backcourt.

In the 76th minute, Benitez made a second substitution, Kaka replaced Ibrahimovic, Yang Yang was pushed to the front and became the team's single striker.

Meanwhile, Benitez replaced Xavi Alonso with David Silva.

…………

…………

"Rafael is starting to prepare for the Copa del Rey final."

In the chairman's stand at the Bernabeu Stadium, Zidane shook his head and sighed.

The two substitutions have only one purpose, which is to ensure the physical fitness of the two players, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Xavi Alonso, to prepare for the Copa del Rey final three days later.

As for tonight's derby of the century, Benitez has clearly begun to ask for a draw.

"This is also something that can't be helped. One person is missing, and the penalty is lost. It is not bad to be able to hold the draw." Valdano also agrees with Zidane's judgment, but he still supports Benitez.

If some words are said, fans will definitely not be happy to hear them.

For example, tonight, if Real Madrid succumbs to Barcelona, ​​in the end, it depends on Barcelona’s face to win the championship. Instead, it is better to protect yourself, seek a draw first, and do your best to fight for the final of the King’s Cup, so as to ensure that you will not be empty-handed.

Many Real Madrid fans are reluctant to admit that Barcelona is really stable this season, so stable that they basically have no mistakes, especially in La Liga, and there is actually not a big chance for Barcelona to make mistakes in the remaining six rounds.

Especially like now, one person less than the opponent and at a disadvantage, seeking a balance is the best result.

Of course, Benitez still left Yang Yang, on the one hand because Yang Yang's physical fitness is better than Ibrahimovic, and his characteristics are more suitable for the current situation, on the other hand, it is also sending a signal that he is still Not giving up completely.

If Yang Yang was replaced, it would really be a give up.

Yang Yang is the spiritual pillar of this Real Madrid team. As long as he is on the court, Real Madrid's fighting spirit will still be there.

This is not based on a few words, based on his worth and influence, but based on the past two years he has played game by game.

"It's always a little unwilling." Florentino sighed.

Zidane and Valdano looked at each other and smiled bitterly in unison.

Who can be willing?

A goal was scored in the final stage of the first half. As long as that performance continues, Real Madrid will win the game with a 90% chance of winning, but who would have thought that the team would have an accident in the second half?

That should be the only major mistake Real Madrid's defense made in this game, and it was caught by Barcelona.

Sometimes football is like that, especially at the top of the game, where a single mistake can change everything.

It's like the corner kick scored by Yang Yang in the final stage of the first half, isn't it also a defensive error by Barcelona?

"It's okay to tie, and then try your best to fight for the King's Cup final and the Champions League, which will give you more chances." Valdano analyzed.

Real Madrid is a team that is more suitable for cup games, just like Benitez's nickname, the king of cup games.

...

Game time is passing little by little.

Barcelona is obviously also tense, Guardiola only made one substitution in the 80th minute, replacing Pedro with Afele, other than that, all other players remained on the field.

Guardiola's attitude is also very clear. He wants to win this game with one more player than his opponent, completely grasp the La Liga championship trophy, and at the same time build momentum for the Copa del Rey final three days later.

The Barcelona fans on the field also felt the determination of the coach and attacked even more fiercely.

Real Madrid retreated within the 30-meter area and built the strongest line of defense.

Yang Yang was at the forefront, constantly harassing Puyol, Pique, and Busquets, and at the same time patiently waiting for the opportunity that he didn't know would appear.
