1318 This opponent is terrible!

"Fortunately, it's Bravo tonight."

After seeing Real Madrid win a free kick in the frontcourt, Enrique thought with some gratitude.

Since the Champions League final, Barcelona assistant coach Juan Ensue and goalkeeper coach Jose Fuente have made adjustments to goalkeeper training, and during the pre-season training camp, they have focused on strengthening the defense of direct free kicks. Yang Yang is the number one imaginary enemy for Barcelona goalkeeper free kick defense.

Juan Ensue was once Barcelona's goalkeeper, and later served as Barcelona's goalkeeper coach three times until he followed Luis Enrique to coach Vigo Celta. As for Jose Foente, first the goalkeeper coach of the second team, and later the goalkeeper coach of Biranova and Martino.

It can be said that both coaches are very experienced, and the targeted training they have formulated is very helpful to Barcelona goalkeepers. During free kick training, they also specially asked free kick experts such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi to simulate Yang Yang and train the goalkeepers in special training.

Among them, Ter Stegen's direct free kick save success rate is not as good as Bravo. The coaching staff evaluated that this is related to the blow he suffered, because Yang Yang's long shot in the Champions League final and the direct free kick in the final stage hit him very hard and may even affect his entire career.

In layman's terms, it leaves a shadow.

On the contrary, Bravo seems to have a higher success rate of saves.

But no matter how well you practice during training, you won’t play as much as you want.

Will Bravo succeed in facing Yang Yang?

...

The Chilean goalkeeper stood in front of the goal line and first sorted out his gloves. Looking up, he found that the players of both teams were lined up near the penalty area line, either facing the goal or facing Yang Yang.

Except for the position facing Yang Yang in the middle of the arc, Barcelona set up a wall of four players, the rest are Real Madrid and Barcelona players interspersed together. After the referee whistle sounds, they will start to make some moves.

Yang Yang stood alone behind the free throw point, and he didn't seem to need his teammates to cover it.

What a skillful and brave guy!

Bravo patted his palm hard and breathed heavily.

Then let me teach you a lesson!

Our special training during this period is not in vain!

"Come on!" Bravo shouted vigorously, encouraging himself to bravely.

...

Yang Yang stood outside the free throw point and looked directly at the goal behind the wall not far away.

According to his own estimate, the distance from the goal was about twenty-five meters, and the position was in the center.

Whether it is the distance or the position, it is within his most certain range, so he simply shouted away to Tony Cross, who wanted to run over to cover him, and stood alone at the free throw point.

This is also a manifestation of his confidence. He wants Bravo to know that he does not need cover at all.

Observing the position of the goalkeeper, observing the wall, and observing the situation, Yang Yang is also trying to adjust his emotions.

After the referee whistled, he took a deep breath. His whole person jumped out quickly like a sharp arrow, stepping on familiar steps and assisted to the front of the ball. After standing still with his left foot, he leaned to the left and his right foot popped out quickly.

A bang was heard at the scene, and the ball quickly flew out from Yang Yang's right foot, climbed over the human wall, drew a graceful arc, and fell rapidly, falling to the left of the goal at an extremely fast speed.

Bravo always kept his focus. After Yang Yang gave the ball, he immediately determined the ball path, but did not immediately jump sideways because he knew that Yang Yang's free throw would have a significant change in direction and fall.

He is waiting and observing.

But what he didn't expect was that Yang Yang's free throw this time was very fast, and the parabola was beautiful, but also fatal.

When Bravo realized something was wrong and flew sideways, he already knew it was broken.

He is slow!

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

The moment Bravo fell heavily on the grass, the Bernabeu Stadium sounded the long and long goal sound of the on-site commentator, looking as if he was about to suffocate.

More than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the stands rushed out of the seat in an instant, cheering wildly, dancing with excitement. Everyone's face was filled with shock and amazement.

"In the 29th minute, Yang Yang's direct free kick was like an accurate Dongfeng missile, hitting the target accurately and flew directly into the blind spot of Barcelona's goal!"

"One to zero! Yang Yang broke the deadlock on the court for Real Madrid!"

After Yang Yang quickly kicked a direct free kick in front of the ball, he had already expected that the ball should have. After seeing the ball hit the target accurately, he quickly ran to the sidelines and kept waving his hands at the Real Madrid fans in the stands. He was mobilizing the atmosphere of the Bernabeu Stadium.

Real Madrid players rushed out one after another.

So beautiful!

Too stable!

Sometimes they even suspect that Yang Yang may not be alone, but a machine, and he seems to never make mistakes and never make mistakes.

As long as he is given a chance and reveals flaws, he can create a threat.

...

Bravo fell on the grass and slapped the grass with both hands.

He realized a serious problem, that is, his save success rate was achieved in training.

Although their special training is as simulated as possible, neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Messi are Yang Yang. Their free kicks may have been excellent, but there is still a very obvious gap with Yang Yang.

It was like the ball just now, with a beautiful arc, but the ball was very fast, so fast that it made Bravo at a loss.

Yang Yang's free kick is like his shot, always unpredictable, always making different changes according to different situations and different opponents.

Bravo is only 1.84 meters tall, which is considered short in the goalkeeper, so Yang Yang pursues angle and ball speed.

This opponent is terrible!

At this moment, Bravo really felt some of the fear of Ter Stegen in the Champions League final.

He is like this, so what about the German Lion King who has experienced the Champions League final?

...

Zidane jumped up excitedly on the sidelines, but almost fell down. He didn't look like a head coach at all, but he ran to the sidelines and shouted excitedly, calling Yang Yang and Real Madrid players to celebrate.

Louis Enrique was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

He clearly had all the advantages, but he almost scored a goal, but why did he suddenly fall behind?

What happened to Real Madrid's attack just now?

Is it the coaching staff arranged the targeted approach? Or is the players' own initiative on the spot?

Enrique's eyes kept circulating on Zidane and Yang Yang. One of them was on the court and the other was off the court. It seemed that they had completely controlled the team. Could it be that these were their arrangements?

Could it be that this is my ominous premonition just now?

No! No! No! No!!! No!!!

Something must have been made wrong?

Maybe it was something I ignored?

Enrique was a little distressed and his brows frowned even deeper.

…………

…………

A goal that broke the deadlock on the court resulted in Barcelona's attempt to counterattack.

The La Liga giants have extremely rich experience and naturally will not retaliate. They still control the ball and organize the attack patiently, but the obvious change is that Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo in front both stepped forward as soon as possible.

This means that the Barcelona players are starting to feel anxious and they want to equalize the score.

No one likes to fall behind, especially in such a critical battle.

But in a strange way, Real Madrid suddenly strengthened the blockade and encirclement of the midfield.

Busquets and Iniesta are the golden partners of Barcelona's midfield. After Xavi left the team, they both controlled Barcelona's midfield, and they led and planned Barcelona's offense.

Busquets is responsible for sorting out the ball path and planning the offensive line, and Iniesta is responsible for dribbling the ball forward.

This division of labor and cooperation went smoothly in the first twenty minutes, but after Real Madrid scored a goal, the situation changed.

Tony Kross began to push forward frequently, and it was basically aimed at Busquets.

As long as the German midfielder presses forward, Yang Yang will retreat from the front. The two of them hit Busquets at the same time, forcing Barcelona to pass the ball. Not only that, Modric will also entangle Iniesta at the first time.

Then at this time, Barcelona's midfield advancement and goal exit will be a problem.

Until now, Rakitic has joined the team, he has never been able to integrate into Barcelona's pass control system like Xavi or Messi. Once Busquets and Iniesta are curbed, especially Busquets, Barcelona's midfield passes will begin to be in chaos.

Tony Cross grasps the timing of every forward press, always at the point that makes Barcelona very uncomfortable, forcing Busquets to pass back or divide the side. Even if he barely passes forward, he will either be cut off or other teammates will be returned.

If it is a back pass to the defense line, Real Madrid basically doesn't care much, just Suarez puts pressure there, but if it is a side split, Real Madrid will strangle the wing. This style of play has been used once when playing Paris Saint-Germain, and it is still effective now against Barcelona.

From the thirty minutes, Barcelona's pass control became very messy, and was curbed by the opponent, and the number of passes and receiving mistakes began to increase. Moreover, more ball controls were in the back line, so it was difficult to control the ball as you wish in the midfield.

What makes people even more bloody is that Real Madrid is not pressing step by step, but selective.

As long as Busquets presses forward, Tony Cross will follow the forward and fight to push Barcelona back.

But as long as Barcelona retreats, Real Madrid will retreat, not rudely, allowing Barcelona to fall behind, and they also take the opportunity to recover their physical strength and ensure that the physical energy consumption is not too large.

It was also at this moment that Louis Enrique truly realized what his ominous premonition came from.

Yang Yang and Zidane had long wanted to deal with Barcelona, ​​but they didn't use it at the beginning. Instead, they were waiting for Barcelona to take action. They restrained them and then took action.

When he thought of this, Enrique suddenly felt cold all over, and he felt like he had been plotted against.
