Chapter 959: Barcelona's Crisis
In the 29th minute of the game, Barcelona made a quick attack through the midfield and sent the ball directly to the right side of the frontcourt.
Barcelona's intention is obvious, directly hit the space left by Marcelo's forward assist.
But as soon as Sanchez received the ball, Xavi Martinez appeared on the side of the Chilean winger for the first time and blocked Sanchez with his body, forcing him to stop the ball and be unable to turn around.
And at this time, Messi suddenly appeared on the right side to meet Sanchez.
The Chilean winger turned his back to the attacking direction, took a step back, and suddenly pushed the ball behind him, trying to pass the ball to Messi, and let Messi dribble the ball directly into Real Madrid's defense, but his intention was rejected. V. Martinez figured it out.
Martinez intercepted the ball with his foot in time, allowing Messi's fast forward move to run directly into an empty space. After intercepting the ball, Martinez quickly passed the ball forward.
Marcelo, who was back on defense all the way, also reacted immediately, quickly stopped and turned around, caught up with the ball again, and sent it forward.
Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack.
Yang Yang started very fast and quickly chased away.
Alves also moved forward when he counterattacked just now and wanted to support Sanchez, but he suddenly stole the ball in the frontcourt and was quickly counterattacked by Real Madrid. The Brazilian right back was somewhat unexpected and could not catch up with Yang Yang at all.
Pique immediately pulled to the left to mark Yang Yang, and the two met in the left corner of the penalty area.
After Yang Yang caught up with the ball, he smashed the ball directly and slashed towards the penalty area. Facing Pique, he kept shaking and feinting. At first, he made a move to cut inwards, but suddenly slammed it towards the bottom line. After Pique reacted, He suddenly snapped back again.
The whole body movement is very flexible, and the movement speed is very fast. Pique did not have time to react at all, and was directly swayed by Yang Yang, scared to the bottom line, but Yang Yang buckled back.
This buckle directly deducted Pique.
Abidal has been defending behind Pique, paying attention to Yang Yang's movements. When Pique rushed to the bottom line, the experienced French defender immediately paid attention to Yang Yang's inward cut. When he saw Yang Yang dunk Pique, he was the first Pounced on the block for a while.
But no matter how fast Abidal was, he would still be one step behind Yang Yang.
Without waiting for the French defender to approach, Yang Yang took the lead and shoved the ball forward.
The ball slid past Abidal and landed in a large unguarded area to the right of the penalty spot.
Ibrahimovic seemed like a heavy tank at this time. No matter how Tiago pulled or blocked, he could not stop Ibrahimovic from rushing into the penalty area of Barcelona, welcoming him. Following the wonderful pass sent by Yang Yang, he directly volleyed the ball vigorously and sent the ball into the bottom of the goal net.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Three to zero!"
"My God, this is unbelievable!"
"In less than half an hour, Real Madrid took the lead three to zero."
"We knew before the game that Barcelona's recent state was not ideal, but we would never have imagined that Barcelona's state would be so bad tonight, with Real Madrid leading by three goals."
"It's incredible, it's incredible."
"Even if Barcelona hadn't woken up quickly, tonight at the Bernabeu, they are likely to repeat the mistakes of the 0-5 defeat two years ago, and may even create an even more embarrassing score."
After Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored, he rushed out of the stadium excitedly, rammed all the way to the bottom of the stands of the Real Madrid fans, and shouted at the fans in the stands.
Soon, he felt his back sink, Yang Yang jumped onto him from behind, straightened up, and shouted at the fans.
Real Madrid's players also chased after them one after another, and they all surrounded them in disbelief.
The game went so well tonight.
It can even be said that from the beginning of the game, the rhythm was completely controlled by Real Madrid, and Barcelona was completely out of shape.
It was three to zero after half an hour. If the game continued like this, what would be the result?
Can we beat Barcelona again?
"The defeat is like a mountain, and now Guardiola should come up with an effective adjustment strategy as soon as possible."
"We can understand that he wants to use Thiago, who is in better condition, to strengthen the team's midfield control, but it is clear that Thiago's defense has weaknesses, coupled with Real Madrid's attack on the left, Yang Yang's The attack on the side was very active and Alves had to put all his energy into defending."
"Just like just now, let's look at the slow-motion playback again."
"Barcelona counterattacked, but failed to score. Xavi Martinez's position was stuck in time, and the defense against Sanchez was also very successful. Sanchez and Messi did not cooperate. Instead, Martinez stole the ball. , quickly passed to Marcelo."
"Everyone can take a look. After Marcelo received the ball, he immediately saw the loophole in Barcelona's defense. Alves made a very rare forward move, and Real Madrid grabbed the space behind him and hit a counterattack directly."
"You can see the strength of the top superstar at the critical moment. Yang Yang stably seized the opportunity. He judged the situation very clearly, and he did not force himself, but used his personal ability to attract the attention of the defense."
"Look at his dribbling attack this time, facing the defense of Pique and Abidal alone, fake moves, changing directions, these are Yang Yang's forte, the movements are very elegant, Pique and Abidal are both beaten He played all over the place and ended up with a good pass for Ibrahimovic to score."
"It can be said that Real Madrid's quick counterattack was initiated by Xavi Martinez. Yang Yang's handling was the key. Ibrahimovic's last goal was the icing on the cake. An important change for Real Madrid under Ancelotti."
"Three to zero, the result is quite unfavorable for Barcelona."
"Moreover, according to our current statistics, Real Madrid's possession rate in the first 30 minutes was close to 60%, surpassing Barcelona. This has to be said to be quite surprising."
"You know, in the past, even if Barcelona lost, they would definitely have an advantage in ball possession, but tonight at the Bernabeu, they not only conceded three goals in a row, but also fell behind in ball possession. This is the most terrifying thing. crisis."
…………
…………
With Real Madrid scoring three goals in a row, Barcelona was completely cornered.
But sometimes, the more there is no way to go, the more it can stimulate the team's fighting spirit and unify the players' thinking.
Barcelona is like that.
After conceding three goals in a row, they had no way to retreat, but instead they calmed down, calmed down, slowed down the rhythm, and began to control the ball patiently and slowly.
From the 30th minute of the game, the rhythm of the game was completely different from the previous one.
Everyone is clearly aware that this is the real Barcelona.
After Real Madrid scored three goals in a row, they were also clearly aware of Barcelona's recovery and were no longer as aggressive as the opening game.
Messi is more active up front, actively pulling the sides and dropping back, receiving passes from the flanks and midfield.
He is very clear that Real Madrid is focusing on suppressing Barcelona's midfield, and he has to come back to have a chance, even deeper than before.
The position of the midfielder has always been Real Madrid's weakness. Since Messi's debut, every time Barcelona encounters Real Madrid, they basically grab this position to play, because they know very well that the distance between Real Madrid's backline and the midfield is not tight. , the lack of a strong midfielder to make up for this area.
Therefore, whether it is Messi or Ronaldinho, they like to receive the ball in this area. Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets are also very good at passing the ball to this area and giving them to create. Chance.
But with the arrival of Benitez, with the addition of Mascherano and Xavi Alonso, this area has been filled, especially last season, Xavi Martinez The joining of Real Madrid has made Real Madrid even more powerful in this area.
It's like today, Mascherano didn't play, but Xavi Martinez played very well in the back position. Messi didn't have many opportunities to get the ball in the area between the midfield and the back line, forcing He had to drop a little deeper.
But Messi is still not discouraged, he is still constantly looking for opportunities.
Because his opponent Yang Yang scored twice and assisted Ibrahimovic to score, he had to give some response, otherwise, he would even look down on himself.
But on the pitch, Real Madrid still frequently created opportunities.
Especially in the thirty-sixth minute, Ibrahimovic received a cross from Robben's right, and then distributed it to Yang Yang, Yang Yang stopped with his left foot, and his right foot directly hit the front of the penalty area. Long shot, straight to the goal.
Valdes flew to the side and saved the shot from the bottom line at the critical moment, which could defuse the crisis, but everyone knew that Real Madrid's offensive was too fierce.
Then Real Madrid was still creating opportunities. Barcelona controlled the rhythm and the ball, but they still failed to find an effective way to break the opponent's defense. It was only at this moment that all Barcelona players suddenly realized that Ancelotti was Italian coach, his defensive attainments can be no less than Benitez.
Many people think that Ancelotti is a good gentleman, good at watching people eat dishes, but they don't know that this means that he has extraordinary tactical attainments, and the defense of the teams he has coached has always been quite good.
However, even so, the Barcelona players will not give up easily, and Messi keeps expanding his activity area and patiently looking for opportunities.
There is a saying that is right, no matter how strong the defense is, there will inevitably be mistakes.
At the last moment of stoppage time in the first half, whether it was distraction or other reasons, Real Madrid's defense made a coordination error.
Messi responded to Xavi's pass, knocked back to Xavi, Xavi picked a pass to find Sanchez, and the Chilean winger took the lead, ferried the header, and headed in front of Messi.
Harvey Martinez and Pepe made a misjudgment when they intercepted. Pepe's clearance hit Martinez, but the clearance was unsuccessful, but instead gave Messi a chance.
Afterwards, Messi drove the ball straight in, calmly pushed and scored in the penalty area, one-to-three.
Barcelona finally recovered a goal before the end of the first half.
