976 Playing with Fire

At 22:00 p.m. on December 10, the focus match of the 16th round of La Liga, the world-renowned Century Derby was held at the Bernabeu Stadium, and Real Madrid will face the visiting Barcelona at home.

In the past two and a half years, Real Madrid has always beaten Barcelona. Whether in team honors or match performance, Real Madrid has an advantage, which makes Barcelona very passive.

At the beginning of the season, the two teams played two Super Cups in Spain, but Real Madrid won one win and one draw, but Barcelona won the first draw in more than two years, which still made all Barcelona fans very excited and were looking forward to this matchup at the Bernabeu Stadium.

The last game was a draw, so can you defeat your opponent in this game?

...

Guardiola came out of the player's passage just before the game.

At this time, the players of both teams had already guessed the side and stood in their own half. Fabregas and Messi stood on both sides of the center circle to prepare for the kickoff. It was obviously Barcelona who got the serve, which was also a favorable factor for Barcelona.

As long as you stabilize your position at the beginning and hold the ball tightly, the situation will move in a direction that is favorable to Barcelona.

But Guardiola's face still looked very solemn.

Ancelotti has always been standing at the entrance of the player's passage. When he saw Guardiola coming out, he immediately went forward and shook hands with Guardiola with a smile. However, the fat Italian man wrapped in a thick black Adidas down jacket made Guardiola unable to like it because the old fox's tactics beat Guardiola unexpectedly.

Not three back midfielders, but two back midfielders!

Goalkeeper Casillas, with Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Macon, and Mascherano and Xavi Alonso on both backs, Kaka was at the front, Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben occupied the two wings.

This is the strongest offensive lineup that Real Madrid has lined up with superstars.

Guardiola got the big roster one hour before the game, and he was a little surprised, but considering that Kaka had played as a midfielder before, he was still lucky. I wonder if Ancelotti would let Kaka play as a midfielder?

But he doesn't like luck or luck, so he always feels very uncomfortable.

At this time, when he saw Ancelotti smiling again, Guardiola really had the urge to directly pour the cup of hot black coffee in his hand on his face, but fortunately he resisted it.

"Damn it, I just went to Real Madrid to learn bad things!" Guardiola looked at Ancelotti's back as she returned to the home team's coaching seat and said angrily, but soon turned to the stadium again, and focused her mind on the stadium, raising the coffee in her right hand, wanting to take a sip of warmth.

At this moment, the referee David Fernandez Bobalan from Andalusia blew the whistle to start the game.

In the middle circle, Fabregas kicked the ball to Messi, and Messi quickly passed it back, directly passing it to the drag-back midfielder Busquets.

The Real Madrid players rushed forward quickly the moment the whistle sounded. Needless to say, the frontcourt trident of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben pressed forward and pressed forward, even Kaka rushed forward at the first time, looking very determined.

This made Guardiola on the sidelines realize that something was wrong.

Not a three-middle back!

And Ancelotti clearly wants to attack at the beginning!

This damn Italian is indeed a cunning old fox!

Before Guardiola could get up to his mouth, Busquets stopped the ball and Ibrahimovic rushed forward, forcing him to choose to pass back to Puyor.

Ibrahimovic turned around and rushed towards Puyor.

Yang Yang also approached Alves on the left at the same time, so Puyol chose to pass the ball back to the middle of the penalty area, at Pique's feet at the front of the arc top area, but Puyol passed the ball rolling ball.

The advantage of rolling balls is stability, but the disadvantage is slowness.

Ibrahimovic and Robben were like two sharks that smelled blood, and chased Pique at the same time.

Pique chose to turn around and pass the goalkeeper without thinking. Ibrahimovic's speed did not decrease and rushed straight into the penalty area. Robben deliberately lags behind Ibrahimovic and ambushed behind Pique.

Valdes is also a smart person. He would not pass it to Pique and Abidal on the left, and immediately passed the ball to Puyor on the right side of the front of the penalty area. He still chose to roll the ball safely.

Yang Yang approached Puyor from Alves, and Ibrahimovic also turned around and ran towards Puyor, forcing the Barcelona central defender to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper again.

At this time, Kaka had already followed Busquets back to Barcelona's 30-meter area, while Pique pulled to the right side of the penalty area, and Abidal also appeared at the right corner of the penalty area, making the route to meet Valdes' pass.

Real Madrid's front court pressing was very decisive and resolute. The first four players were all pressed inside and outside the penalty area. What's even more serious is that Barcelona chose to roll the ball safely from beginning to end, and refused to pass the ball to the frontcourt as soon as possible.

Obviously, they all know that as long as they pass the ball to the frontcourt, it is equivalent to giving up the ball.

Facing Puyor's return pass, Valdes could not choose to use his hands, but could only stop with his feet. However, Ibrahimovic turned halfway and turned back and forced the goalkeeper, forcing Valdes not to stop the ball, but chose to pass the ball as soon as possible.

Pique was close to the baseline, so Valdes chose to pull Abidal to the outside of the left corner of the penalty area. Because he had just glanced before stopping the ball, there was no defensive player at that position, so he did not stop the ball and directly kicked the ball and passed it to Abidal.

But as soon as the ball was passed, Valdes regretted it. He realized that he had made a stupid mistake.

Robben's speed was too fast. The Dutch Panther suddenly started and rushed to the pass line from the right side of the arc top area. But Valdes, like all Barcelona's passes just now, used ground rolling balls and was directly intercepted.

Robben intercepted the ball with his left foot, turned around and immediately formed a counterattack.

Pique and Abidal also reacted immediately and rushed towards Robben quickly. Barcelona's defender was still very fast. When they saw Ibrahimovic still near the small penalty area, they immediately chose to press forward.

At this time, as long as Robben passes the ball, Ibrahimovic falls into the offside trap.

So, the Swedish center raised his hand, but Robben didn't pass the ball because he had a better option.

After intercepting the ball with his left foot, Robben turned around and took the ball to the middle, quickly sent it horizontally with his left foot, and sent the ball to the left side of the arc top area in the front of the penalty area. Yang Yang, who had just pressed Puyor, chased him up at the fastest speed. Facing Robben's pass, he stopped the ball in the middle, and stopped the ball past Puyor, and then chased after him and pulled hard with his right foot.

"Real Madrid's chance!"

"Yang Yang directly kicked the ball!!"

"The ball is in!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

"In the 18th second, just 18 seconds into the opening, Real Madrid was shot by Yang Yang in the top of the penalty area with a clean right-footed arc ball, and directly hit the upper right corner of Barcelona's goal."

"Valdes made a very stupid mistake. He shouldn't choose to pass it to Abidal, he should choose to pass it to Pique who was unmarked, but now there is no medicine for regret."

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he quickly turned around and rushed out of the stadium, running wildly, slid to the bottom of the southern stands of the Bernabeu Stadium, and was immediately surrounded by Real Madrid players.

...

On the side of the court, the coffee that Guardiola had in his hand had just reached his mouth, and accidentally took a sip, his whole man hissed, and the hot coffee was burned to his mouth. In addition, Yang Yang's sudden goal on the court scared him, and in anger, he threw the coffee in his hand to the ground.

"What's going on?"

"Ah? Why did such a pass appear?"

Guardiola opened his arms and roared at the stadium in shock, feeling uncomprehensible.

Barcelona is obsessed with ball rights, but between ball rights and conceding, anyone knows how to choose.

At that time, there were so many players and so many passes, they should have a choice, but so many people all chose the worst and worst option at the same time. He couldn't understand it, it was really impossible to understand.

He lost the ball in the first 18 seconds, how can he play this game?

Guardiola walked back to the visiting team coach's seat in disappointment, sat in the corner, and let out a heavy sigh of resentment.

"They are under too much psychological pressure, and Real Madrid's opening press was too fierce." Bilanova looked at Guardiola with some blame, because he felt very strange from the beginning, why is Guardiola so sure that Ancelotti won't fight?

But the result was good, Ancelotti really attacked, and she was still very, very determined.

After the game, he directly pushed the entire defense line across the center line. The four players in the frontcourt approached the front of Barcelona's penalty area. This is no longer a double midfielder, this is four, two, and four.

In this case, four and five were beaten, and Barcelona was unexpectedly expected. It was normal for them to make mistakes after being caught off guard.

Of course, the player's choice must be wrong. Whether it is Puyol, Pique or Valdes who have made two choices, they are a little blindly accused of being too arrogant and did not transfer the crisis out of Barcelona's penalty area as soon as possible.

It's like playing with fire, but I accidentally got burned.

Conceding the ball in 18 seconds is difficult to play in this game.

Bilanova looked at Guardiola with a disappointed and frustrated face. He wanted to say something, if you listened to me, you might not be like this now, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it.

In Barcelona, ​​no one dares to challenge Guardiola's authority, including Messi.

But as an assistant, Biranova knew very well that Guardiola's tactics were wrong.

Of course, no one in this world is always right, and it is normal to guess wrongly. The key is how to make adjustments next?
