At exactly 22:00 on August 14th, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
In the first leg of the Super Cup, Real Madrid faced Barcelona at home.
This is the first official game of the new season and the premiere of both sides' new season.
A week before the game, the hyped queue ceremony did not appear in the end. Barcelona obviously could not accept that they lined up to welcome the Champions League champion Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium because they were runner-up.
In fact, this is more about media hype and fans' clamor. Both parties are aware that neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona will accept the line-up for the other party to win the championship. This has nothing to do with demeanor, but more about the death hatred of both sides for a hundred years.
Everyone in Real Madrid saw this clearly, and no one accused Barcelona of this.
From the moment both sides walked into the Bernabeu Stadium, the lineup of the two teams was obvious.
The home team Real Madrid still lined up in the 4231 formation. The goalkeeper was Casillas, the defense was Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Aveloa, and the midfield was Xavi Alonso and Xavi Martinez, with David Silva in the center, and the trident combination of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben in the frontcourt.
Except for Marcelo, all internationals participating in the Copa America have not entered the lineup, including Mascherano, Maxwell, Macon, Kaka and Di Maria, because these players did not return until the end of July and early August, and their condition and physical fitness reserves are obviously unable to keep up with the team's pace.
Barcelona still lined up its own 433 formation, with goalkeeper Valdes, defense line Adriano, Abidal, Pique and Alves, midfielder Iniesta, Thiago and Xavi, front tridents are Villa, Messi and Sanchez.
Among the two new players, Sanchez appeared on the right winger, Fabregas sat on the bench, and Busquets was replaced by Thiago, who was in a state of overwhelming condition due to his poor performance in the warm-up match.
It is not difficult to see from Barcelona's lineup that Guardiola is obviously seeking a change, and he also hopes to introduce a competitive mechanism within the team to stimulate the players' state, especially for the midfielder.
The midfield iron triangle of Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta is too important and too solid. Sometimes, after playing football for a long time together, it becomes a habit. When performance is no longer a basis for players to play or not, slackness will inevitably arise. This emotion has already revealed signs of it last season.
During the preparations this summer, Barcelona's performance was indeed disappointing. Guardiola naturally hopes to introduce Thiago, Fabregas, Sedo Keita and other players who are determined to show off their own players, so that the team can compete again and rejuvenate new vitality.
Of course, the premise is that the players who appear in the substitute must also perform well.
...
Yang Yang stood on the left side of the center line, waiting for Barcelona to kick off.
After he returned to Madrid from China, he did two things. One was to accompany his wife Su Ye to the hospital for gynecology examination to prepare for his upcoming son, and the other was to carefully prepare the upcoming century derby.
Ancelotti also attaches great importance to this game because it is his first official game to coach Real Madrid.
To put it in the principle that ordinary fans know, no matter how good you play in a warm-up match, it is useless, if you can't play a formal game, and if you can't defeat your opponent with a strong dialogue, then everything will be in vain.
Since it is a home game, Ancelotti's tactics in the first game will be more proactive. He hopes that Real Madrid can try to compete with Barcelona in the first half to control the ball, and at the same time, they can try to attack the opponent as much as possible, and strive to form an effective counterattack when Barcelona controls the ball, and then quickly counterattack.
Real Madrid is not unfamiliar with this style of play. Benitez has always adopted this style of play before, but the head coach's requirements are slightly different. Benitez is more concerned about stability, while Ancelotti hopes that the team can play more openly and have more tactical details, especially the offense.
The most obvious change is that Ancelotti gave the two full-backs more freedom to forward, the team's pull and the ball transfer are also greater, and there will be more direct passes and diagonal passes.
For example, in the warm-up match, Xavi Alonso made several diagonal long passes directly behind the opponent, exerting the speed and impact advantages of both wings. This style of play is rare during Benitez's coaching period.
The specific effect is still necessary to check the game to make the right decision.
Yang Yang let out a deep breath, turned his head habitually and looked towards the familiar stands, but suddenly realized that Su Ye had been rejected by him from outside the Bernabeu.
This is a suggestion from the doctor, the atmosphere on the scene and the rhythm of the competition, and the number of people is too large, which is not conducive to pregnant women like Su Ye who are waiting for childbirth, so Yang Yang unceremoniously blocked her from the Bernabeu.
While he was following the team for training, Yang Yang's mother, Su Ye's mother, cousin Shen Yuzhu, and uncle Shen Ming and his wife all came to Madrid to accompany Su Ye and wait for Yang Yang's children to come to this world.
Yang Yang raised his head, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then vomited heavily.
The competition has begun!
...
"Barcelona kicks off first."
"Real Madrid pressed near the center line in the frontcourt, while the center and backcourt steadily retreated."
"I don't know if Ancelotti will continue the defensive counterattack strategy of Benitez in this game tonight."
"Let's look at Barcelona, and the continuous transmissions were passed through the midfield and reached Xavi's feet."
"Have sent it back to Thiago."
"Ibrahimovic's retracement interference, Thiago passed it back to Xavi."
"David Silva grabbed the ball, tripped Xavi, and Barcelona lost the ball."
"Yang Yang took the ball in front and started quickly..."
...
When Yang Yang received the ball from David Silva, he quickly dribbled forward.
Barcelona players are retreating quickly.
Yang Yang dribbled the ball very quickly, and Alves and Pique, who were closest to him, kept retreating, but the two sides quickly narrowed the gap.
As soon as he entered the 30-meter area, Alves and Pique realized that they had no choice but to retreat.
Pique greeted him and stood directly, trying to get along with Yang Yang.
Yang Yang kept paying close attention to their every move when he dribbled the ball. When Pique stood at the position and was ready to go and robbed, he reacted. Suddenly, he accelerated and quickly narrowed the distance between himself and Pique, and at the same time he took the lead and poked the ball behind Pique.
The ball passed through Pique's feet, and the Barcelona central defender immediately realized that something was wrong.
The man ball has been divided!
But before Pike could react, Yang Yang had already rushed forward as fast as possible, and quickly cut into the gap between Alves and Pike, and used his left shoulder to block Alves.
The Brazilian right-back cursed in his heart, saying that this was simply bullying him for being short and having a disadvantage in his physical ability to fight.
But things on the football field are sometimes so rough, simple and direct.
After Yang Yang blocked Alves for a while, the Brazilian right back inevitably had to slow down, while Yang Yang quickly avoided Pique and quickly penetrated behind him, catching up with the ball he had just scored on the left side of the front of the penalty area.
"Beautiful man scored!"
"Less than a minute into the game, Yang Yang completed a beautiful breakthrough in the frontcourt."
"Yang Yang dribbled the ball into Barcelona's penalty area and formed a single shot..."
"Valdes attacked..."
"The pendulum is extraordinary..."
"It's over!"
"The ball is in!!!!"
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"Just just forty-six seconds into the game, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal."
"A wonderful personal breakthrough from Yang Yang, he used his speed to score with a beautiful man ball, forcibly breaking the Barcelona defense from the front, and Pique and Alves were completely left behind by Yang Yang."
"Then another wonderful pendulum extraordinary. After shaking Valdes away, Yang Yang calmly pushed the shot and hit it."
"One to zero!"
...
Yang Yang quickly opened his arms and glided in the Bernabeu Stadium, which was shouted and cheered by more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the audience.
Too beautiful! Too wonderful! Too unexpected!
Everyone was looking forward to seeing Real Madrid's goal, but no one expected that this goal would come so quickly, so suddenly, and so beautiful!
This was definitely a wonderful solo performance!
Only Yang Yang can still score such a goal calmly and calmly when facing two world-class defenders, Alves and Pique, and he simply treats Barcelona's defenders as nothing.
Real Madrid fans across the stadium rushed out of the seats and were shouting Yang Yang's name frantically.
Yang Yang finally rushed to the front of the live TV camera and made two actions of kissing and sucking the pacifier towards the live camera.
Everyone understands his intention because all fans around the world know that his child is coming soon.
...
"From the beginning of the game, Yang Yang showed us all his best form."
"This is simply unbelievable. The man ball has been divided and the pendulum has become extremely powerful, and Yang Yang completely calmed us down in an instant."
"We thought Real Madrid would take the lead, but we would never have thought that Real Madrid would take the lead so quickly."
"This is a world-class goal!"
"Yang Yang's goal gives us reason to believe that he will continue to perform best and best in the new season, so that we can all wait and see!"
...
Yang Yang scored a goal less than a minute into the opening game, which really surprised everyone on both sides, including Real Madrid himself.
Even Yang Yang himself couldn't believe it.
But this is the case with football matches. The court is full of various changes and players need to adapt to the situation.
After taking the lead, Yang Yang also told all the teammates who rushed up to celebrate that he felt that the Barcelona players' condition was still not ideal today. At least the other player had just scored the ball, whether it was Pique or Alves, they were obviously a little slower. This would be unlikely to happen if it were normal.
Chapter completed!
