Chapter 92 Iberia, Your Old Emperor Is Back! [Please Subscribe, Guys! ]

"What the hell are you doing! Focus, concentrate! This is the Bernabeu! How can we let them easily break into our defensive third zone? What about the interception in the middle? Why didn't they foul on the wing?! We played like a pile of shit! Everyone cheer up!"

In the middle of the noisy and carnival sound, Puyol, who had just failed to defend because of Ronaldo, roared at his teammates angrily!

He would take all the responsibility for the goal just now to protect his teammates, but that was after the game.

Now he had to scold the Barcelona players who looked a little confused in front of him.

Maybe it was because they had won too many championship trophies in the past few seasons and began to slack off in the game.

They started to make mistakes on the defensive end at the beginning of the game against Real Madrid today.

Puyol didn't understand how Busquets dared to let Real Madrid quickly pass the center line and counterattack twice in a row.

He also didn't understand why Alves and Abidal didn't directly foul to interrupt Real Madrid's offensive in the two defenses on the wing!

Do they think that after Mourinho trained Real Madrid for a season, it is still the unbalanced team that only knows how to pile up stars and play offense?

"Forget the so-called past achievements, it's time to cheer up! We just lost the Spanish Super Cup a few months ago! Forget it! Whoever slacks off will apply to get off the field and rest! Barcelona can't afford to lose this man! Fight Real Madrid with spirit and fight to the end!"

Puyol's hair dryer sprayed several defensive players in the backcourt of Barcelona so hard that they dared not breathe.

Pique, who had the most relaxed performance before the game, turned his face away slightly in embarrassment.

Talk back?

Forget it, if Pique dared to say something to Puyol, Puyol would probably let him know what real iron-blooded means are.

Busquets in front was also pointed at by Xavi and taught a lesson.

Xavi was so angry that if his legs were not a little short just now, he would definitely stop Li Ang directly.

However, it was his turn to commit a tactical foul in that position, so you can imagine how lax Barcelona's midfield defense was before.

The lesson and warning from the two big guys in the midfield and backcourt also made the other players on the Barcelona side clear their heads a lot.

Although the scolding was unpleasant, to be honest, they did deserve it.

It was better to be scolded by their own big guys than to be "greeted" by the fans after the game.

"0-1 situation, there is still a fight, as long as we don't make mistakes!"

Many Barcelona players now have similar ideas, wanting to quickly find the field and equalize the score in the next game.

But is it really the case?

Guardiola saw it clearly on the sidelines, and now he just felt that the development of the game was completely beyond his expectations.

Very tricky!

Compared with a few months ago, Mourinho has formulated more detailed tactical details to limit Barcelona's midfield advantage and Messi.

When the game resumed, Barcelona, ​​with its morale restored, thought that this time it would be more efficient than before to break into Real Madrid's half.

But when they ran into Real Madrid's dense and compact midfield defense, they found that they really thought too much!

Real Madrid's style of play, where all players actively run and defend, and can quickly form a strong defensive side in any direction, really eats up Barcelona!

Playing as a whole, Real Madrid will fight with you if they defend the center line, and will not give you too many opportunities to play the ball behind them if they don't take the initiative.

Fighting for explosive points, now Barcelona has only one Messi who is an efficient attack point, and Sanchez, who has just arrived in La Liga, is really a bit lacking.

And Barcelona fans looked at Li Ang, who was almost completely pulled to the side and Messi one-on-one, and they immediately felt extremely irritated.

Marcelo directly pressed to the center line and Ronaldo made defensive interference with Alves and Iniesta.

Li Ang may not be able to lock Messi every time he drags back, but his interference can give Marcelo enough time to chase back to the side defense area.

Or to be more direct, when Messi successfully receives the ball and starts to advance offensively, Li Ang falls back to block Messi's position to cut inside, and Marcelo can quickly return from behind to double-team Messi.

Because every Real Madrid midfielder is very active in chasing back today, Li Ang's empty position will naturally be filled by Khedira or Long Ge.

As for whether frequent double-teaming and fouling Messi will give Barcelona some set-piece opportunities in the frontcourt?

As long as the distance is not enough and Barcelona can't play a direct free kick, then Real Madrid is not afraid.

This is completely Real Madrid's strength. If Barcelona really expects Pique and Puyol to create a miracle of set-pieces, then Real Madrid will be really happy.

To put it bluntly, Mourinho and every Real Madrid player are most afraid of the sudden change in the situation caused by Messi's sudden explosion.

After all, Messi is proficient in passing, dribbling and shooting. He is a big threat in any area of ​​Real Madrid's hinterland.

There is nothing wrong with admitting this, perhaps it is precisely because Real Madrid now attaches enough importance to the threat level of Messi.

So until now, Real Madrid can still firmly lead Barcelona by the nose in terms of tactics.

Before the game, Barcelona obviously underestimated the threat of Real Madrid's counterattack and Ronaldo's terrible finishing ability.

So they were stunned shortly after the opening.

This is not only a tactical victory for Mourinho, but also a psychological and attitude victory for the entire Real Madrid team.

Real Madrid successfully gave Barcelona a "big surprise", but now it seems that Barcelona's pre-match preparations were too little, too little.

Still using the same tactics as before to prepare to sanction Real Madrid, it's true.

So lazy!

However, Messi’s fighting spirit is still lacking at this moment.

He felt something was wrong with the entire team, but he was not good at words, so instead of relying on preaching, he wanted to use his personal performance to inspire the confidence of his teammates.

This trick is actually very useful.

Who makes Messi now in a period where his personal physical and technical combination is almost the best?

He can have this willful prerogative tactically.

And Barcelona's players still believe in their team's ace.

Li Ang suffered another serious blow.

It feels very uncomfortable to be treated like a wooden stake and to be cleanly passed over twice in ten minutes.

But even if he is used as a wooden stake, he must be the hardest, most resilient, and most annoying blocking wooden stake!

Small moves, blocking, being passed, taking a shortcut with the help of teammates and once again getting stuck in front of Messi in a favorable position

Real Madrid fans can see that Li Ang will face the reluctance of the explosive Messi.

But his brownie-style defensive strategy worked magically!

It doesn't work every time, but when Li Ang makes Messi play awkwardly most of the time, Real Madrid fans are really satisfied!

"Good boy!"

Karanka watched as Li Ang once again struggled with Messi and got help from his teammates, forcing Messi to knock the ball horizontally.

Finally, he couldn't help but punched the coach's chair and praised Li Ang fiercely.

Mourinho now had some unbearable eyes.

Let Li Ang be embarrassed by Messi under the attention of countless fans. To be honest, this is cruel.

This is also a psychological shock to ordinary young players.

But Mourinho has no other choice. He must ask Li Ang to make a tactical deal with Messi. If he loses Messi, he will win the game!

At this moment, Li Ang's firm and determined words before the game echoed in Mourinho's mind again at the right time.

"Don't worry, boss, I understand. If I lose and the team wins, then I also win!"

This sentence full of self-awareness and tactical sacrifice made Mourinho's heart warm.

His heart felt at ease, very at ease.

He knew that Li Ang didn't blame him, and he knew even more that Li Ang understood him!

"Little lion, stand up to him! Stand up to the current number one player in football, we must win together!"

"Aren't you tired? You seem to be in good physical condition today, but I know you are also trying to hold on. You will eventually get tired."

Messi wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched Iniesta pass the ball back again, pursed his lips and began to pace back.

As for the nagging in his ears that seemed to be talking to himself, he was already used to it.

"Leo, please save some face for me. I've suffered enough from you today. You can't bear to see me make a fool of myself in front of fans all over the world, right?"

When Messi heard this, he finally couldn't help but rolled his eyes and choked.

"No, I am happy to see such a scene!"

"Then tell me, how can you be more 'gentle' to me?"

Messi stopped talking and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said something to Li Ang.

"You go to the other side and guard Sanchez."

"Damn it, are you so cruel to your teammates? That won't work. I'm determined to follow you today. Please change the conditions."

"."

Messi laughed angrily at Li Ang, pushed Li Ang, and then quickly retreated to catch the ball.

Li Ang complained, but as he said, he was determined to follow Messi today, and his attention was completely focused on Messi.

Seeing Messi retreat past the midline, he stopped again and smiled meaningfully at Messi.

Iniesta, who was playing at the back, was tired of watching. From the Western Super Cup before the season until now, Li Ang has been following Messi for two and a half games.

The game lasted almost thirty-five minutes.

You really won’t be tired from running!

Messi was so annoyed that he didn't want to talk anymore. After receiving the ball, he started to head forward from the center!

Upon seeing this, Fabregas quickly changed his position to the right wing where Messi usually stayed, completely giving up the area in the middle.

Li Ang followed Messi's sudden advance and began to retreat and mark. Messi did not change his direction and he did not take a shot.

But just when the two were about to enter Real Madrid's defensive third zone together, Messi made the first move.

After leading the ball with his left foot and leaning to the right for two steps, Messi quickly spiked the ball with his right foot to complete an instant second change of direction!

But in an instant, Messi's pupils dilated rapidly. Under his incredible gaze, Li Ang boldly took a step ahead of him and completed the tackle in the direction of his breakthrough!

Go down to the ground and tackle without any reservation!

After Li Ang made a defensive prediction this time, it was like Messi had beaten him cleanly several times before.

No chance for Messi to make amends!

After losing the ball, Messi tripped with his right foot on Li Ang's calf and fell forward.

And Li Ang, who got up immediately, didn't care about how the referee would punish his defense, and directly knocked the ball diagonally to Alonso, who had already started to advance!

Iniesta and Fabregas immediately raised their arms and shouted to the referee, indicating that it was a defensive foul by Li Ang.

But the referee on duty was too close to the scene of the incident and he could see it clearly.

Li Ang completed the tackle first and blocked the ball without making any additional defensive actions.

This is a standard, extremely beautiful tackle.

No foul!

As soon as the referee made a gesture to continue the game, Alonso stretched his body and sent out his very personal and fast long pass!

Just after two seconds, this long pass that spanned half the stadium accurately found Ronaldo, who was speeding up the left wing.

For Ronaldo, it was not difficult to unload this extremely powerful long ball. On the contrary, his unloading was perfect.

Almost in a row, Cristiano Ronaldo rushed past Alves' pursuit, and then dribbled the ball at high speed and sent a big arcing pass to the center of Barcelona's penalty area!

Benzema, who was slightly overspeeding during his movement, felt a thump in his heart.

It's okay to force a aerial challenge, but he has to wait for the ball and is likely to be unable to exert his strength.

So under the sudden flash of light, Benzema gave up his plan to shoot directly.

He took the first step and leaned tightly against Pique. Without allowing Pique to fully exert his strength, he jumped up hard and completed a lateral crossing of the header!

This clever play caught almost all Barcelona defensive players off guard!

Khedira, the forward-looking guy, did not rush into the penalty area to shoot this time.

Because he saw a figure cutting inside the penalty area faster.

Di Maria appeared in the most suitable position for the football. He put the ball with his right foot towards the center of the penalty area and stopped it.

The force relief was very comfortable, and the ball was obedient and did not roll out of his expected range.

After taking a deep breath, Di Maria took a run-up without any hesitation, and once again hit a smooth shot from the right side of Barcelona's penalty area!

The positioning direction is almost exactly the same as the shot he took in the opening stage, that is, he needs to be closer to the goal, his power must be more sufficient, and his shot must be more confident!

Valdes was slightly disturbed by the figures of Pique and Benzema, but his prediction was correct, it was still above the far corner of the goal.

But this time, he didn't save Di Maria's shot.

The spinning football almost touched the junction of the goal post and the crossbar and plunged into the far corner of the goal net!

This is an absolute, 100% "ten-corner goal"!

Not to mention Valdes, Buffon is guarding Barcelona's goal today at his peak.

This goal is definitely scored!

“Ahhhhhhh——!!!!”

The moment Di Maria saw the football hit the net, he opened his mouth wide and roared as he rushed straight to the bottom line!

Khedira was the first to rush forward and hugged him with a roar, followed closely by Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Arbeloa.

Exploded! The atmosphere at the Bernabeu exploded like an explosion!

All the Real Madrid fans were jumping crazily in the stands and hugging each other passionately!

The meaningless words in their mouths came together to form a huge and impactful sound, which swept the entire stadium in an instant!

Mourinho and the Real Madrid players on the bench ran out together and rushed to the corner flag area where the starting players celebrated passionately!

Who can endure this? !

I can't help it!

Forget about the Spanish Super Cup that Barcelona fans don’t recognize!

Just today, in La Liga!

Real Madrid led Barcelona 2-0 at halftime!

The passionate Mourinho jumped directly onto the back of a Real Madrid starting player.

When the fans came to their senses after celebrating, they immediately noticed the figure of Li Ang carrying Mourinho on his back, raising his arms and shouting towards the south stand!

He Wei and Xu Yang also laughed after their passionate explanations.

The tacit understanding between the master and apprentice at this moment is destined to become the focus of discussion in the media after the game.

But the Real Madrid fans loved it so much that they responded with even louder cheers to Li Ang and Mourinho!

The morale is high and so is the self-confidence!

Real Madrid, which won the half-time result 2-0, completely suppressed Barcelona's momentum!

Even during the rest of the first half, Real Madrid shrunk and defended in their own half, but their momentum completely overwhelmed Barcelona's side, completely cutting off Barcelona's offensive rhythm!

After entering the halftime break, Real Madrid had too many tactical options to choose from. With the two-goal advantage in hand, there was plenty to do between offense and defense.

Barcelona's tactical choice is extremely passive, because they can only attack and launch a frantic attack regardless of the cost!

Mourinho replaced Khedira with Las Diarra at the beginning of the second half, and his intention to further strengthen the defensive sweep in the middle was obvious.

Barcelona fans were as disgusted as eating flies when they saw Real Madrid's substitutions.

But there is no way, who made them lose the ball first, and then they lost two goals!

If I couldn't withstand the pressure and almost collapsed in the half, I could only grit my teeth and fight back.

Therefore, throughout the second half, the tone of the game was almost that Real Madrid seized the opportunity to resolutely defend against counterattacks, while Barcelona did not care about the defensive loopholes in the backcourt, and could only devote as much force to the offense as possible, using offense instead of defense!

Real Madrid did not completely defend the half and had another chance to stab Barcelona. Barcelona pressed forward across the board and vowed to chase two goals in a row.

The pace of the game is extremely fierce, and countless neutral fans are hooked to watch it!

In the 76th minute of the second half, Messi used himself as bait and used a big diagonal pass after a breakthrough to help Villa, who came on the bench, finally get a single chance to score a goal and regain the victory!

The fans of Barcelona were also completely excited at this time, watching Barcelona's increasingly crazy offensive and cheering enthusiastically!

But at this critical moment, Li Ang once again teamed up with Long Ge to steal the ball from Messi, whose physical strength had greatly decreased.

Facing the Barcelona frontcourt players who rushed to interrupt Real Madrid's counterattack rhythm, Li Ang did not seek to get rid of the opportunity, but decisively knocked the ball back.

Ramos sent a long pass across almost half of the court with sufficient observation and kicking space!

Benzema, who retreated to stop the ball, once again acted as a perfect frontcourt fulcrum, sweeping the ball to the right before Busquets fouled.

Di Maria covered Arbeloa who was on the side, helping the latter to successfully go to the bottom.

Arbeloa dribbled past Abidal and sent a crucial ground pass.

And Ronaldo, who caught up with Puyol at the back point, also used a near-angle push to completely kill the suspense of the game!

Ronaldo, who scored twice, had a ferocious expression!

He took off his jersey and stood on the baseline with his hands on his hips and roared, venting his depression and annoyance for losing to Barcelona many times in the past two seasons!

Guardiola covered his eyes in pain.

From tactics to psychological preparation, he lost this time, and lost completely.

Mourinho seemed to have suddenly returned to a year and a half ago.

Still at the Bernabeu Stadium, standing in the same position, he smiled and looked at the scoreboard, full of energy!

Li Ang took a deep breath, and then laughed completely relaxed.

All the Real Madrid players on the field also put down their caution at this moment, and began to hug and high-five each other to celebrate this hard-won victory!

Three years, a full three years, they have not defeated Barcelona once in the La Liga!

And today, they will use this victory against their biggest opponent to announce to the outside world:

Iberia, your old king is back!
