Chapter 957 46 Seconds
At 22:00 in the evening of August 14th, at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona in the first leg of the Super Cup.
This is the first official game of the new season and the first performance of the new season for both sides.
A week before the game, the much-hyped line-up ceremony did not appear in the end, and Barcelona obviously could not accept that they were lined up at the Bernabeu to welcome Real Madrid, the Champions League champion, because they were runners-up.
In fact, this is more of a media hype and a hoot from the fans. Both parties know that neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona will accept lining up for the other side to win the championship. Vengeance to come.
For this, everyone at Real Madrid sees it very clearly, and no one blames Barcelona for this.
From the moment the two sides walked into the Bernabeu Stadium, the starting lineup of the two teams was already clear.
The home team Real Madrid still has a four-two-three formation. The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Abeloa, and the midfielder is Xavi Alonso and Harvey Martinez forms a double midfielder, David Silva is in the middle, and the frontcourt is still the trident combination of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben.
Except for Marcelo, all the international players who participated in the Copa America did not enter the starting lineup, including Mascherano, Maxwell, Maicon, Kaka and Di Maria, because these players are all until the end of July and August He only returned to the team at the beginning of the month, and his state and physical reserves are obviously still unable to keep up with the team's rhythm.
Barcelona still has their own four-three-three formation. The goalkeeper is Valdes, the defense is Adriano, Abidal, Pique and Alves, and the midfielders are Iniesta and Tia. Ge and Xavi, the front three are Villa, Messi and Sanchez.
Among the two new generals, Sanchez appeared in the starting right wing position, Cesc Fabregas sat on the bench, and Busquets was replaced by Thiago, who was in great shape due to his unsatisfactory performance in the warm-up match. .
It is not difficult to see from Barcelona's starting lineup that Guardiola is obviously seeking a change. He also hopes to introduce a competition mechanism within the team to stimulate the state of the players, especially for the midfield.
The midfield triangle of Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta is too important and too solid. Sometimes they play together for a long time. The starting lineup has become a habit, and the performance is no longer a player. When it comes to whether or not to play, there will always be slack, and this sentiment has already surfaced last season.
During the preparations for this summer, Barcelona's performance was really disappointing. Guardiola naturally hopes to introduce Thiago, Cesc Fabregas, Sedou Keita and other players who are determined to express themselves, so that the team can re-compete and shine. new vitality.
Of course, the premise is that the player who replaces the game must also have a good performance.
...
Yang Yang stood on the left side of the midline, waiting for Barcelona to kick off.
After he returned to Madrid from China, he did two things. One was to accompany his wife Su Ye to the hospital for a gynecological examination to prepare for his upcoming son, and the other was to carefully prepare for the upcoming Derby of the Century.
Ancelotti also attaches great importance to this game, because it is his first official game in charge of Real Madrid.
In terms of what ordinary fans understand, no matter how well you play in the warm-up game, it’s useless. If you can’t play the official game, and you can’t beat your opponent through strong dialogue, then everything will be in vain.
Because it is a home game, Ancelotti's tactics in the first game will be more proactive. He hopes that Real Madrid can try to grab the ball with Barcelona in the first half, and at the same time, he can try to attack the opponent and try to control the ball in Barcelona. When an effective counter-attack is formed, then a quick counter-attack occurs.
This set of playing is no stranger to Real Madrid. Benitez has always adopted this style of play before, but the coach's requirements are slightly different. Benitez is more stable, and Ancelotti hopes that the team Being able to play more openly, the tactical details will be more abundant, especially the offense.
One of the most obvious changes is that Ancelotti has given the two full-backs more freedom to move forward, the team's pulling and the transfer of the ball are also greater, and there will be more direct and diagonal passes.
For example, in the warm-up match, Xavi Alonso hit the opponent directly behind several oblique long balls, giving play to the speed and impact advantages of the wings, which was rare during Benitez's coaching period.
How the specific effect is, still need to see the game to be accurate.
Yang Yang took a deep breath and habitually turned his head to look in the direction of the familiar stand, but suddenly realized that Su Ye had been rejected by him outside the Bernabeu.
This was the doctor's suggestion, the atmosphere at the scene, the rhythm of the game, and the fact that there were too many people were not good for a pregnant woman like Su Ye, so Yang Yang rudely blocked her from the Bernabeu.
During his training camp with the team, Yang Yang's mother, Su Ye's mother and cousin Shen Yuzhu, as well as his uncle Shen Ming and his wife all came to Madrid to accompany Su Ye and wait for Yang Yang's child to come to this world.
Yang Yang raised his head, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily.
The game is on!
...
"Barcelona took the lead."
"Real Madrid pressed near the midline in the frontcourt, and steadily retreated in the midfield."
"I don't know if Ancelotti will continue the defensive counterattack strategy of the previous Benitez period in this game tonight."
"Let's look at Barcelona, the continuous pass, through the midfield, to Xavi's feet."
"Xavi will pass it back to Thiago."
"Ibrahimovic pulled back to interfere, Thiago passed back to Xavi."
"David Silva grabbed the ball, tripped Xavi, Barcelona lost the ball."
"Yang Yang took the ball in front and started quickly..."
...
When Yang Yang received the kick from David Silva, he quickly rushed forward.
Barcelona's players are quickly retreating.
Yang Yang dribbled the ball very fast, and Alves and Pique, who were closest to him, kept retreating, but the two sides still quickly shortened the gap.
As soon as they entered the 30-meter area, Alves and Pique realized that they had nowhere to go.
Pique greeted him and stood still, wanting to entangle Yang Yang.
Yang Yang has been closely watching their every move when he dribbled the ball. When Pique stood in his position and was ready to attack, he reacted and suddenly accelerated, quickly pulling himself and Pique closer. The distance between grams, and at the same time preemptively stab the ball behind Pique.
The ball passed through Pique's feet like this, and the Barcelona central defender immediately realized that something was wrong.
The ball is divided!
But before Pique could react, Yang Yang had already sprinted forward at the fastest speed. The whole person quickly cut into the gap between Alves and Pique, and blocked Alves with his left shoulder.
The Brazilian right-back scolded his mother in his heart. This was simply bullying him for his short stature, and his physical confrontation ability was at a disadvantage.
But things on the football field are sometimes so rude and straightforward.
After Yang Yang blocked Alves, the Brazilian right-back inevitably had to slow down, while Yang Yang quickly avoided Pique, quickly slanted behind him, and caught up with the ball just distributed on the left side of the front of the penalty area. .
"Beautiful people have divided the ball!"
"In less than a minute of the opening, Yang Yang made a beautiful breakthrough in the frontcourt."
"Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the Barcelona penalty area and formed a single-handed shot..."
"Valdez strikes..."
"The pendulum is beyond..."
"It's over!"
"The ball is in!!!!"
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Only 46 seconds into the opening, Real Madrid took the lead in scoring Barcelona's goal."
"A wonderful personal breakthrough from Yang Yang. With the speed he used, he used a beautiful man-ball to break through Barcelona's defense from the front. Pique and Alves were completely left behind by Yang Yang."
"Then it was another wonderful pendulum move. After shaking off Valdez, Yang Yang calmly pushed and hit the shot."
"One to zero!"
...
Yang Yang quickly opened his arms and gliding in the Bernabeu Stadium, receiving the hoarse cheers of more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the audience.
so beautiful! So wonderful! What a surprise!
Everyone was looking forward to seeing Real Madrid's goal, but no one thought that this goal would come so quickly, so suddenly, and so beautifully!
It was definitely a great solo performance!
Only Yang Yang can score such goals calmly and calmly in the face of two world-class defenders Alves and Pique. He simply ignores Barcelona's defenders.
Real Madrid fans all over the stadium rushed out of the seats, all shouting Yang Yang's name frantically.
And Yang Yang finally rushed to the front of the live TV camera and made two movements of kissing and sucking the pacifier towards the live camera.
Everyone knew what he meant because all the fans around the world knew that his baby was coming.
...
"Yang Yang showed all of us at his best from the very beginning of the game."
"It's unbelievable. The ball is divided and the pendulum is over. Yang Yang completely stunned us all at once."
"We thought that Real Madrid would take the lead, but we never thought that Real Madrid would take the lead so quickly."
"It was a world-class goal!"
"Yang Yang's goal gives us reason to believe that he will continue to give his best and best performance in the new season. Let us all wait and see!"
...
Yang Yang scored in less than a minute, which really surprised everyone on both sides, including Real Madrid themselves.
Even Yang Yang himself couldn't believe it.
But football is just like that, the pitch is full of changes that require players to adapt.
After taking the lead, Yang Yang also told all the teammates who rushed up to celebrate him that he felt that the state of the Barcelona players was still not ideal. A little bit slower, which is unlikely to happen in normal times.
"I think we should take the opportunity to kill them!" Yang Yang said confidently.
