1240 Yang Yang is here, I can't lose!
As early as the Dream Team coached by Cruyff, it may even be earlier than this, Barcelona has always regarded controlling the ball as life.
In Barcelona's terms, possession of the ball has been integrated into their blood and genes and cannot be shaken off anyway.
In fact, in the past few years, Barcelona has always practiced a principle, that is, they can lose games, but the concept of ball control cannot be lost, so they have always been disdainful of non-ball control.
Some people say that this is a kind of self-satisfaction, some people say that this is a kind of stubbornness, of course, some people must say that this is sticking to their own ideas, and they believe that Barcelona's pass and control will sooner or later rise again.
The earth is round, and the football is round.
When Martino was in charge of Barcelona, he hoped to inject changes into the team, so he brought more long passes and direct passes, but this style of play made him well-known and criticized, especially when his performance was not ideal, he ended up in disgrace.
Luis Enrique, what can this Barcelona celebrity with a poor coaching experience bring to this team?
Some time before the start, many people thought that he could bring stable defense to Barcelona because they did not lose a single goal before meeting Real Madrid, which is something that Barcelona has never had in the past few years.
But soon, after playing against Real Madrid, Louis Enrique's defense was completely crippled and crippled.
Along with the controversy, Louis Enrique's coaching at Barcelona was also stumbling. The Trident performed poorly and the team's performance was not very ideal. These put him in great pressure. Until the winter break, the team ushered in a comprehensive recovery, especially the successive big wins, which gave him enough confidence.
But the draw in the Cup of Rey was a coincidence and pushed Real Madrid to Enrique and his Barcelona.
How to play away from home with zero to one?
Everyone has thought of many possibilities, such as whether Enrique would push Harvey back on the lineup? Could it be that he would suddenly promote a young player? Or would he have any unexpected moves in the formation?
But at the Bernabeu Stadium and in front of Real Madrid, Enrique was shocked.
He chose to defend and fight back!
Yes, read that right, Barcelona is actually kicking...defense...defense...counterattack!
…………
…………
Only 38 seconds into the game, Barcelona's big feet cleared the ball in the backcourt. Before crossing the center line, they were intercepted by Real Madrid's left defender Marcelo, and quickly passed back to the frontcourt and handed it to Yang Yang in the front.
After Yang Yang stopped the ball, a beautiful pendulum extraordinary. After swaying past central defender Pique, he easily pushed the ball and scored the first record for Real Madrid!
This goal made Real Madrid's morale soar. Everyone was determined to defeat Barcelona at home, and it would be better to give their opponent another unforgettable defeat.
But soon, the game progress once again proved that arrogance will lose is a truth that never goes out of date.
In just the ninth minute, Barcelona intercepted the ball in the backcourt and quickly counterattacked. Messi received the ball and crossed the center line and passed it straight to Cristiano Ronaldo in front.
The Portuguese stopped the ball with his back and turned around, giving Neymar a straight pass, sending the ball directly into the penalty area.
Neymar quickly inserted, and did not waste the opportunity created by his teammates. He faced Courtois alone and made a calm shot to equalize Barcelona's score, one-to-one!
It's only once, it can be said to be an accident.
Seven minutes later, Real Madrid's corner kick off the ball. After being picked up by goalkeeper Ter Stegen, he kicked the ball directly with a big kick. It was the cooperation of the frontcourt Trident. This time, Cristiano Ronaldo took the lead in using his speed to form a single shot, but the ball was too large and Courtois attacked in time, which failed to pose a threat.
Both counterattacks were very sharp, and Barcelona's changes could be seen.
This not only made Real Madrid players on the court feel uncomfortable, but even Ancelotti and others on the sidelines felt unbelievable, and they all wondered if they had read it wrong?
Barcelona is actually playing defensively counterattack?
Isn’t this team more important than winning or losing?
In the 30th minute, Real Madrid created another opportunity. After Carvajal received Di Maria's pass from the right, he quickly went down to the bottom line and passed it to the front of the goal. Yang Yang followed up in the middle. Without the shooting angle, he tweaked his heel and moved the ball to the middle.
Suarez followed up and made a easy push shot, 2-1, and Real Madrid took the lead again!
But this time the lead lasted only for more than ten minutes. Before the first half was over, Real Madrid attacked the Barcelona penalty area. Alba made a handball foul, but was not punished by the referee. While Real Madrid was protesting, Barcelona quickly launched a counterattack.
Alba passed the ball to Neymar, and Neymar passed it to Messi again. The latter quickly knocked back, and Neymar scored a single goal, scoring twice, 2-2!
Both goals were basically passed quickly, and they were quick counterattacks after the defense was completed.
Everyone was a little confused about Barcelona's change.
If it is just a change on the court, it can be said to be a bit confusing, but in terms of data, Barcelona's possession rate was only over 40% in the first thirty minutes, and even at the end of the half, they were only 44%.
In other words, they didn't even compete for ball possession this time!
Although it was only a short forty-five minutes of the game, everyone saw a different Barcelona team.
This team does not have the persistence of Guardiola in the past with the ball control, nor does it have the strong ball control elements in Barcelona's traditional style, and they are not even so active in counter-attacking. These are things that Barcelona regards as life in the past few years.
But now, all of them have been subverted by Louis Enrique.
He actually started to play practical and concise defensive counterattack like Real Madrid.
This allows everyone to see the other side of professional football, which is to keep pace with the times and subvert itself.
Even if you stick to Barcelona, there will be a day of change.
Of course, maybe they only need to do this when facing Real Madrid. There is no need to deal with other teams...
...
In the first half, both sides fought fiercely and the players also made an angry move.
During the break, Real Madrid captain Ramos complained to the referee all the way, believing that Barcelona's second goal just now was a problem. Alba clearly had a handball first, but did not call for a foul, but scored the goal instead.
As he spoke, Ramos became more and more excited as he spoke. He also mentioned several other penalty decisions in the first half. When entering the player channel, he even had a little disrespect to the referee in his tone, which made him show a yellow card in the player channel.
Because Ramos had already received a yellow card during the first half of defense, and in the end, the two yellows turned red, and the Real Madrid captain was sent off, which made him very angry. If Yang Yang and others had not arrived in time and stopped him, he would have almost attacked the referee.
In recent years, La Liga has been vigorously cracking down on players' pressure on the referee and striving to establish the authority of referees. Ramos's actions are very irrational, and at the same time, it has forced Real Madrid to bear the situation of one less person.
Afterwards, the Real Madrid captain calmed down in the locker room and apologized for his actions.
Ancelotti had to make a substitution, replaced Suarez directly, replaced Varane, and partnered with Xavi Martinez with central defender, hoping to stabilize the team's defense.
...
Everyone, including the live broadcast, suddenly discovered that Real Madrid was missing after the second half.
At first they thought it was Ramos late, but when they saw the captain wearing the armband on Marcelo's arm, they found the problem one after another and got the answer. It turned out that they were sent off with a red card.
With one less person in the halftime than the opponent, this situation is undoubtedly bad.
Real Madrid began to retreat in full swing and adopted a steady defensive counterattack strategy.
Barcelona took advantage of their number of players to control the scene and launched attacks on Real Madrid again and again.
With the ball in hand, Barcelona seemed to be back to the slow pace of its past.
The defensive counterattack that was just like a good thing just now came back to the same appearance in the blink of an eye. The slow backfield was down, the slow advancement, and the slow cooperation, the Trident seemed to have no sharpness in the first half...
Mascherano still performed stably in the midfield and backcourt, and had excellent protection for the defense. In addition, the outstanding performance of the central defender combination of Varane and Xavi Martinez made Real Madrid lose their field advantage without one person and did not have too dangerous scenes.
Yang Yang was pushed to the front and was still waiting for an opportunity to fight back.
The first half was beautiful, and all four goals were exciting, but the second half was very dull.
Barcelona seems to have no idea how to play football, while Real Madrid has to retreat due to their disadvantage in numbers.
Until the 84th minute, Real Madrid quickly hit the frontcourt. Yang Yang received the back from the outside of the penalty area. After receiving the pass from the midfield, he stopped and quickly passed it to the right and handed it to Di Maria. He turned around and rushed forward. Di Maria also understood and sent a straight pass, passing the ball into the penalty area.
Pique and Mathieu attacked Yang Yang from left to right, and Pique even had a very obvious pulling action.
But the two Barcelona central defenders were unable to stop Yang Yang, but he took the lead and directly sent Di Maria's pass into Barcelona's goal.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
In an instant, the entire Bernabeu Stadium broke out!
More than 80,000 fans were suppressed for the enthusiasm of the entire game and completely burst out in this moment.
After Yang Yang scored the goal, he pointed at Di Maria from afar and signaled him to come to the sidelines to celebrate by himself.
The two have fought side by side for many years, and this tacit understanding is quite good.
The entire Bernabeu stadium was shouting Yang Yang's name because they knew that it was Yang Yang who saved Real Madrid again.
He scored twice, had an assist, and Real Madrid led Barcelona three times, and all three goals were created by Yang Yang.
His condition is really outstanding.
Almost every time he reaches a critical moment, he can always stand up and bring surprises to everyone!
Gradually, Real Madrid fans began to believe it.
Chapter completed!
