"Real Madrid's midfield intercepted the ball successfully."

"Mascherano passed to Sneijder and Real Madrid launched a counterattack."

"Sneider dribbled the ball and rushed through the center line, making a diagonal pass behind him and looked for Ibrahimovic."

"Busquets fell to the ground and put the shovel, but the ball was not shoveled."

"Ibrahimovic intervened in the back, and there was no offside. This time Real Madrid has a good chance."

"Look at how the Swedish center handles it and drive the ball to the right side of the penalty area."

...

Barcelona's defense return speed is also very fast.

When Sneider passed the ball directly behind Pique and Ibrahimovic took the lead to catch up with the ball, Barcelona's defense line was already returning to defense quickly. Pique also turned around and directly wrapped around Ibrahimovic.

Milito followed closely behind and formed a solid double insurance with Pique, forcing the Swedish center to dribble the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

The moment Sneider passed the ball, Yang Yang was in the direction of retreat. Puyol followed him, which was not conducive to passing. But after Sneider passed the ball, Yang Yang turned around and started immediately, competing with Puyol at the first time.

Yang Yang did not go to pick up Ibrahimovic, but ran behind Milito, in front of Puyol.

He is waiting for Ibrahimovic's pass.

In that area, not only Ibrahimovic, but also Pique and Milito. If Yang Yang went over, Puyol would definitely follow him, which would be too crowded and would be more conducive to defense.

On the contrary, as we do now, we have staggered spaces between each other and the attack threatens to become greater.

Yang Yang believes that with Ibrahimovic's strength, he will definitely be able to pass the ball over.

...

The Swedish center took the ball to face Pique on the right side of the penalty area, and both of them were sprinting quickly.

Just as the ball was about to be brought out of the baseline, Ibrahimovic suddenly stopped and dunked the ball, dunked it, and then directly dunked Pique and passed it to Milito behind him.

Mili pulled out his foot to block it, but Ibrahimovic's pick-pass was not high or low, which was just not conducive to his interception.

The ball barely crossed Milito's feet and landed behind him.

Almost at the same time the ball landed, Yang Yang arrived just in a slammed the horse and blocked Puyol with his body. He took the lead and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the Barcelona goal.

Valdes tried hard to make up for it, but the shot came quickly and the direction was completely opposite, so he could do nothing.

...

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

"In the 18th minute, a quick counterattack from Real Madrid, Yang Yang received an assist from Ibrahimovic, and opened the team's first record, one to zero!"

"God, Real Madrid's counterattack came too fast and too suddenly!"

"From the beginning of the first half, Real Madrid was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of ball possession, but the home team's defense was very tenacious, especially the three-middle defense carefully created by Benitez, which was very orderly and very strict, and did not give Barcelona any chance."

"Real Madrid's counterattack is very efficient. There was a counterattack that had been a one-on-one strike just now, but unfortunately it was misjudged by the referee. However, Real Madrid quickly reorganized a counterattack and quickly scored the goal."

"This is definitely a key goal!"

"With this goal, Real Madrid will have an advantage in its home court, and Barcelona is forced to invest more troops on the offensive end. As long as you pass the ball and fall down, you will not be able to tear off Real Madrid's defense."

...

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he quickly rushed to the bottom of the Real Madrid fans' stands and shouted excitedly at the fans in the stands. Ibrahimovic and other teammates rushed up one after another and surrounded him.

Everyone knows how important this goal is to Real Madrid!

Yang Yang quickly turned around, holding Ibrahimovic with one hand and Sneider with the other, sharing the glory of the goal with two goal-scoring heroes, and also telling everyone that he scored the goal, but Swedish center and Sneider also made great contributions.

Mascherano's steals were very accurate and timely, just caught Real Madrid off guard.

Sneider's dribbling and accurate passes are also crucial. It can be said that without his accurate straight pass behind him, there would be no counterattack goal that Real Madrid followed.

Of course, Ibrahimovic's assists were also quite beautiful, especially when he dunked Pique and passed the assist, which fully demonstrated his superb footwork and his familiarity with Yang Yang's football style.

This is a goal, but in fact, it is not just a goal!

…………

…………

After losing a goal, the entire Bernabeu stadium was in full swing.

All the fans were cheering.

Even if they are reluctant, they have to admit that Barcelona is indeed playing advanced football today.

They have amazing passes and ball control skills, outstanding passes and reception skills, and unpreventable short pass penetration. In addition, there is a superstar like Messi in the frontcourt, making it difficult for any team to suppress them.

It can be said that this is Barcelona's nuclear weapon that swept Europa!

In addition to strictly guarding the ball, Barcelona's pass and control are unsolvable problems for any tactic.

There are certain accidental factors in the first century derby of this season, but this game can no longer be counted on luck.

If the team wants to win, then the defensive counterattack is the best choice.

Even though the three-middle midfielder's style does not seem to be in line with Real Madrid's tradition, everyone has to compromise in the face of results.

...

After conceding one goal first, Barcelona still didn't rush after kicking off again.

Years of passes and ball control have created the amazing patience of Barcelona players. Moreover, after a week of rest, they are obviously very good in terms of physical fitness and condition, and are not afraid of Real Madrid at all.

But Real Madrid also did not become careless because of leading one goal. The team still adopted a strategy of shrinking defense. The two lines tightened the 30-meter zone, allowing Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic to cruise in the frontcourt to look for opportunities, and Sneider was responsible for counterattacking and ejecting the ball.

This style of play made Barcelona very depressed and helpless.

They seem to have all the advantages on the field, but in fact they are difficult to get absolute opportunities in offense. Many times, offenses often stop at long shots or make mistakes, and they are seriously inefficient.

Interestingly, Real Madrid never easily fouled in their half, and even did not have a yellow card from the beginning to the present, which is a very firm implementation of Liverpool's defensive strategy in the Champions League final last season.

Real Madrid's defense mainly focuses on cutting off Barcelona's ball path, which emphasizes the players' patience and collaboration ability in defense, pays attention to the players' in place rate, and strives to maintain the overall formation compact and orderly.

In other words, as long as you don’t foul on defense, you can launch a counterattack as soon as you grab the ball.

Sneider is the team's goal point, Ibrahimovic is the tactical fulcrum in front, and Yang Yang is the team's anti-offside weapon and the team's final scoring point.

It can be said that such a defensive strategy is more effective than blind fouls and is also more threatening.

Once a foul is committed, there will be no chance of counterattack. If you don’t have a foul, you can hit a counterattack with just one break.

From Liverpool to Real Madrid, Benitez's playing style made Barcelona feel like they were stuck in their throats and felt very uncomfortable.

But on the other hand, the scene is indeed dull, and it can even be said to be seriously lacking in exciting scenes.

It’s not as good as sleepy, but let alone the audience in front of the TV, even the fans on the scene were a little bored.

…………

…………

The first half ended in a one-to-zero score.

Surprisingly, Real Madrid did not lose a single goal and defended very well, especially the three-middle midfielder, and the formation was kept quite orderly.

Barcelona has a ball possession of 68%, while Real Madrid is only 32%, which is pitifully few. However, in terms of shooting, Real Madrid is not much inferior to Barcelona. In terms of effective offense, the home team even had two more chances to enter the penalty area than Barcelona.

This is not difficult to reflect the situation in the first half.

Barcelona did not score. Real Madrid lost the ball, but they counterattacked sharply, and the number of shots was more.

Benitez was satisfied with the players' performance during the break, especially the team's defense. He focused on the contribution of the three midfielders in the defense, believing that they completed the task well and frozen Barcelona's offense and infiltration.

"I can be sure that they will increase their offensive in the second half, and they will not be willing to give up three-pointers just like this, so I concluded that they will continue to threaten us in the second half, and we must be vigilant and focus."

Las Diyala is a hidden danger in the team's midfield. This player's contribution to defense is indeed very obvious and has a very great effect, but one very serious problem is that he sticks the ball. He likes to get the ball, so that in the past two years, he was the No. 10 core player in Real Madrid.

A midfielder wore a No. 10 jersey, you can imagine his love for ball rights.

But Benitez warned him more than once before the game that he could not concede the ball in his own half, so he had to reduce the ball possession. Judging from the situation in the first half, Ras Diarra did a good job, but there were still several times when he stuck the ball. Benitez gave a reminder.

"Guardiola will definitely target this in the second half, and we cannot give them such a chance no matter what!" Benitez strengthened his tone and further reminded.

Las Diarra's position in the team is now quite sensitive, because Mascherano occupies the main position. If he wants to get a chance to play, he must use his performance to convince Benitez.

Therefore, he had to listen to this sentence.

If he makes another mistake and is caught by Barcelona, ​​which leads to a loss of the ball and ruins the good situation, he will likely be swept out this summer, which is obviously not something Las Diarra is willing to see.

Subsequently, Benitez deduced the situation in the second half and made targeted arrangements.

And there is a very important point...
