Chapter 924 Guardiola's Wrath

On the evening of April 20, the Mestagna stadium in Valencia, Spain.

Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid vs Barcelona.

At the 36th minute of the game, Real Madrid stole the ball within 30 meters of their own side. Kaka took the lead and took the ball forward, breaking free from Xavi's entanglement. The foot was directly transmitted to the foot of Yang Yang.

Yang Yang quickly went straight behind Alves, took the ball with a big stride forward, and competed with Puyol and Pique, who were back on defense, and ran with the ball all the way, heading towards the penalty area of ​​Barcelona.

...

"Real Madrid's quick counterattack."

"Yang Yang is very fast with the ball, but Puyol and Pique are not slow to catch up."

"After a long-distance raid to the periphery of the restricted area, Yang Yang suddenly stopped... and started again..."

...

After a simple emergency stop, it suddenly started, and Puyol was abruptly thrown away with speed and brought the ball into the penalty area. Yang Yang quickly chased after him. Before the goalkeeper Valdes attacked, he caught up with the football and left his foot. The inner side of the foot is pushed from a small angle, and the ball is sent to the side of Valdes.

Valdés reacted and tried to intercept the ball, but he was still a beat later.

The ball passed through the space between the Barcelona goalkeeper and the left column of the goal, and rolled diagonally into the goal.

...

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 36th minute, Real Madrid scored the first goal, 1-0!"

"A goal from Yang Yang, another goal from Yang Yang!"

"He's the nemesis of Barcelona, ​​he scores goals almost every time he faces Barcelona."

"And just three days ago at the Bernabeu Stadium, Yang Yang scored twice to help Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-0."

"I didn't expect that now, it is Yang Yang's goal to help Real Madrid take the lead."

"The current situation is quite unfavorable for Guardiola's Barcelona."

"From the start of the game tonight, Barcelona has always been very passive. Although they have the ball, they have never been able to create opportunities. Instead, it is Real Madrid who counterattack again and again and tear apart Barcelona's defense line again and again. ."

"Just ten minutes ago, Ibrahimovic played the ball, Robben and Yang Yang quickly counterattacked, Robben made a cross from the right, Yang Yang headed the goal from close range, but was saved by Valdes It hit the post and failed to score, and we were saying that the first half of Barcelona was not ideal."

"Now, Real Madrid has scored."

"Throughout the first half, Barcelona seemed to take the initiative and possess the ball, but in fact, in terms of creating threats, it was far inferior to Real Madrid. Yang Yang's goal gave Real Madrid the lead, and it was also a good match for Barcelona. A penalty for bad form at half-time."

...

After Yang Yang scored, he was so excited that he wanted to rush out of the court, but he suddenly remembered something, turned around and rushed towards the goal, fished the football out of the goal again, and stuffed it directly into his arms. Run all the way.

There are half of the Real Madrid fans at the Mestagna tonight, and they are all madly shouting Yang Yang's name.

On the other hand, Yang Yang quickly rushed to the sidelines, rushed under the stands of the Real Madrid fans, and opened his arms towards them.

He felt the tsunami from the stands, he felt the enthusiasm from the fans, and he enjoyed it all!

Ibrahimovic, Robben, Kaka, Xavi Alonso…

Real Madrid's players rushed towards Yang Yang one by one, all celebrating the goal. Ramos jumped directly on Yang Yang's back and shouted over his head, as if he had already won the championship. It's like getting it ahead of time.

It was a long overdue goal.

As early as just two minutes into the opening, Real Madrid made a quick counterattack and Puyol fouled Yang Yang in the penalty area, but the referee did not make any statement.

From the twelfth minute, Yang Yang led Real Madrid's attack, threatening Barcelona's penalty area and goal again and again. Yang Yang alone fell into the offside trap many times in a row, and then he succeeded in anti-offside once. Passed to Ibrahimovic in the middle, but the Swedish center missed the empty goal.

This is Ibrahimovic!

He is disdainful of scoring an empty goal without any technical content.

Then Real Madrid created a continuous threat. Yang Yang also headed the goal and was thrown on the post by Valdez. It was definitely luck that saved Barcelona. Otherwise, Real Madrid would have scored a goal long ago.

Continuous attack, continuous threat, and finally scored a goal in the 36th minute.

…………

…………

After seeing Yang Yang rushing 50 meters for a long distance, Benitez pushed the goal from a small angle, and the whole person jumped up in excitement, dancing and shouting to celebrate.

In this game, he fulfilled Guardiola's wish, which was to take the initiative from the very beginning.

Real Madrid has a four-two-three-one double-back lineup. The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Maxwell, Pepe, Ramos and Maicon, and the midfielder is Javier Martinez and Ha The combination of Wei Alonso, Yang Yang, Kaka and Robben in the frontcourt, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a single striker.

Although it is a double midfielder, Real Madrid still defended very closely and did not give Barcelona many opportunities. Instead, they created attacking opportunities one after another in the first half. Kaka also performed very well, sending attacking opportunities to teammates in the frontcourt again and again. .

Barcelona's performance in the first half was not ideal, they looked a little tired and out of shape, so they were suppressed by Real Madrid after the opening, which was also expected by Benitez, because he was in the game three days ago. The game is deliberately arranged.

If there were fans who watched the Derby of the Century, they would have noticed that the game was played at a faster pace.

Everyone knows that a fast pace takes a greater toll on players.

Benitez is fighting with Guardiola, and it turns out that Barcelona's state is really not ideal tonight, at least it entered the state very slowly, until now, the situation has not been completely controlled, and the attack is also very disorderly.

All of this is within the expectations of Benitez.

Now, the most important thing is to try to score one more goal.

When Benitez saw the Real Madrid players rush to the sidelines to celebrate Yang Yang's goal, he applauded and shouted loudly to the players, indicating that they should continue to cheer, keep pushing for another goal.

Two to zero, this game is sure to win.

But Barcelona can swept the Europa, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp in itself. How can Guardiola not understand all this?

…………

…………

After Yang Yang scored a goal for Real Madrid, the game resumed. Real Madrid tried to continue to strengthen the offensive, but Barcelona obviously played more conservatively, and the overall defense line also retreated to their own half. Guardiola even shouted Alves, Signal him to go back to defend, don't blindly intervene.

It was Alves who returned to the defense. In the 41st minute, when Yang Yang dribbled the ball and cut Puyol away, he blocked Yang Yang's kick to the goal and blocked the bottom line. Corners also failed to create a threat.

In the end, Real Madrid took the lead 1-0 at halftime with Yang Yang's goal.

Benitez won the opening and gave Real Madrid an advantage in the first half, but failed to expand the result.

In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Barcelona made a decisive effort.

I don't know what magic Guardiola casted on this team at half-time. In the second half, the Barcelona players all played like chicken blood. They played very vigorously and were in very good condition. Controlling the situation, he also frequently planned offensive opportunities.

Soon, Benitez made a substitution, Mascherano replaced Robben, and re-adopted the three-back play style, letting Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic move forward to form a double forward. Kaka specifically pressured Busquets.

Real Madrid retreated across the board and adopted a three-back tactic, which made Barcelona's offense hit an iron plate again.

Whether it was last season or this season, Guardiola's team has suffered in front of Real Madrid's defense, and even Mourinho's Inter Milan and Wenger's Arsenal have learned restraint from Real Madrid. Barcelona's trick.

And despite their best efforts, Guardiola's team still failed to find an effective way to break through the Real Madrid defense.

There is a very interesting phenomenon among them, that is, with the passage of the second half, Real Madrid adopted a three-back play, but Guardiola has never adjusted the team's lineup.

Goalkeeper Valdes, defense Adriano, Pique, Puyol and Alves, midfield is Busquets behind, Iniesta and Xavi are in the middle, frontcourt is Villa, Messi and Pedro.

This is the starting lineup for the away game against Real Madrid three days ago, and the day after tomorrow at the Mestagna, Barcelona still used this style of play. Even in the second half, Barcelona won the game without scoring, and it was difficult to create a threat. Under the circumstances, Guardiola still did not make substitutions.

No one knows what Guardiola is thinking, or if he has completely lost trust in players like Bojan and Afele, or if he is expressing his heart to the management in this way. Dissatisfaction and anger.

The only certainty is that Guardiola did not make substitutions!

Bit by bit, the game time passed, with Barcelona completely in control of the ball and Real Madrid being forced to retreat.

After entering 80 minutes, Barcelona created the last threatening attack. Iniesta and Messi's collision with the wall gave Messi a chance to kick his feet in the penalty area, but Casillas flew towards him. under the body.

Subsequently, Barcelona significantly slowed down the offensive and rhythm.

In the 86th minute, Guardiola made his first substitution of the game, replacing Villa with Afele.

This was his only substitution in the game.

Real Madrid made consecutive substitutions at the end of the game to delay time, and Yang Yang was also replaced by Di Maria in stoppage time.

He scored the only goal of the game and was cheered by the fans on the scene.

Almost all the Real Madrid fans rushed out of their seats and gave Yang Yang the warmest applause and cheers, sending him off the court like a hero.

In the eyes of all Real Madrid fans, this is what Yang Yang deserves.

They even feel that compared to Yang Yang's performance and contribution, they have not done enough.
