Chapter 1123 Another suspense

The first derby of the century in the new season ended with Real Madrid's [-]-[-] away game against Barcelona with Yang Yang's hat-trick. This sparked heated discussions among the media and fans all over the world immediately after the game.

This is Cristiano Ronaldo's first century derby since joining Barcelona, ​​which is full of gimmicks in itself.

In this game, Barcelona's performance is not bad. Messi took the initiative to transform into a passer, Cristiano Ronaldo's impact and physical confrontation ability, and Neymar's creativity and spirituality in the game.

But compared to the offense, Barcelona's defense was lackluster in the game. Alves couldn't stop Hazard, Alba couldn't stop Carvajal's frontal attack at the last moment, Pique, Mathieu and Busquets teamed up and couldn't stop Yang Yang from performing a hat-trick.

It can be said that Barcelona's defense seriously dragged down the team's offense.

The same is true of Real Madrid.

On the offensive end, Yang Yang scored a hat-trick and became the most outstanding superstar in the game. Hazard basically showed his strength and tactical value. With his outstanding performance in this derby of the century, he won himself a place in the frontcourt of Real Madrid.

Although Suarez came off the bench, the heel pass in the final stage made people see his aura, and the few times he took the ball in the game also left an impression on people, but the most impressive thing was that in the last few minutes, all Barcelona players pressed up and formed an overwhelming counterattack against Real Madrid. Suarez even retreated to the front of the penalty area to defend.

The Uruguay striker's desire to play is extremely strong, and his performance in the game also makes people see his strength.

Both Marca and Aspen agreed that Ancelotti will definitely focus on creating a double-forward tactic in the future, and let Yang Yang and Suarez form the offensive combination of Real Madrid's frontcourt.

As for whether to adopt [-] or [-], it depends on Ancelotti's own choice.

Compared with the excellence of the offensive end, Real Madrid's defense has serious problems, but not in the defenders of the defense, but in the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, especially the team's second goal conceded.

Even Aspen, known as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, believes that Messi's lob shot completely made the world see Casillas' aging.

Regardless of adopting four backs or later switching to three backs, Real Madrid's defensive line switched smoothly and the defense was also very well organized. This point Ancelotti's build has won everyone's unanimous approval.

German Bild focused on the analysis of Real Madrid's defense, and believed that Ancelotti's defensive system was nearly completed. Real Madrid's defensive formation can adopt different strategies and make different changes according to different opponents and different stages of the game. This reflects the coaching ability of Ancelotti's tactical master.

From four-three-three to four-three-two-one and then three-five-two, in the last few minutes of Barcelona's crazy counterattack, Real Madrid even returned to the five-three-two formation. In 2000, Bosque put out a fire midway and led Real Madrid to win the Champions League. After that, it never appeared on Real Madrid again, but it reappeared this season.

Harvey Martinez's performance in this game also won unanimous approval, and he scored a high score after the game. The Spanish newspaper El País believed that the Basque was very similar to Real Madrid's former champion player Ivan Elguera. Interestingly, both players were from northern Spain.

Ivan Elguera played a defensive midfielder in the early days. He was born in Santander, then went to Albacete, then went to Rome, and then returned to the Spaniard. He came to Real Madrid in [-].

Real Madrid experienced turmoil that season. The Welshman Toshack was forced to dismiss get out of class in November because of his poor performance and violation of the management ban.

The most successful part of Bosque lies in the transformation of the team's back line, from the original four backs to five backs, and the midfielder Elguera was pulled to the back line, serving as the central defender.

As a result, this unexpected move fully stimulated Real Madrid's potential, and the defense became very solid. They overcame all obstacles and reached the Champions League final, and defeated Valencia led by Cooper at the time, and successfully won the Champions League.

It can be seen that Elguera is very similar to Javi Martinez. They are both from northern Spain. They are both midfielders but have been transformed into central defenders. They both have excellent ball-playing ability and backcourt scheduling ability.

Many people believe that Ancelotti's transformation of Harvey Martinez, just like Bosque's transformation of Ivan Elguera, will bring Real Madrid an excellent central defender and consolidate the team's defense.

There is no big problem with the defense, so who are the two responsible for Real Madrid's conceded goals?

After the game, the media all pointed the finger at team captain Iker Casillas.

Everyone basically believed that the second conceded goal was a major mistake by Casillas, which led to the team being tied by Barcelona with a one-goal lead.

The famous host Jose de la Morena of Searle Radio even stated in his program that after the derby of the century, Real Madrid's determination to introduce a new goalkeeper will be more urgent, and the first choice is De Gea, who plays for Manchester United, and Courtois, who plays for Atletico Madrid.

These two goalkeepers are very young, and they are also the most promising goalkeepers in world football. Among them, Courtois has proven his strength in Atletico Madrid and the European arena.

De La Morena believes that Yang Yang should be most grateful for Real Madrid's ability to retreat from the away game.

"I can't imagine, without Yang Yang, what kind of disaster this game would be for Real Madrid?"

L'Equipe also published a lengthy commentary after the game, thinking that this was a close game, and that Barcelona and Real Madrid were evenly matched in various statistics, which is a very rare thing.

"In the past few years, although Real Madrid has an advantage in performance, in fact, in terms of ball possession rate and pass success rate, Real Madrid has always been significantly behind Barcelona. Galacticos have always relied on defensive counterattacks to defeat Barcelona. In the first derby of the century coached by Ancelotti, he tried to play a confrontation, but lost to Barcelona for the first time, which was controversial."

"But now, time has passed, we can see that whether it is the ball possession rate, pass success rate, or from the game scene, we can intuitively and clearly see that Real Madrid is not at all inferior to Barcelona in the game scene."

L'Equipe believes that this situation is mainly reflected in two aspects. One is the improvement of Real Madrid's overall technical and tactical strength, especially the joining of strong players such as David Silva and Modric, which continuously improves the team's midfield control.

On the other hand, Barcelona's midfield is gradually aging. Xavi is 33 years old. Although Iniesta is only 29 years old, Martino chose to replace Iniesta instead of Harvey in the second half of the game.

L'Equipe believes that the running ability and physical fitness of Barcelona players are far inferior to those at their peak a few years ago. Without enough running coverage and physical support, Barcelona's midfield pass and ball control ability has declined.

One ebbs and another, which caused Real Madrid and Barcelona to be evenly matched in this game.

However, L'Equipe also analyzed that Real Madrid's player lineup is younger. I believe that it will not take long for Real Madrid to be fully capable of suppressing Barcelona in the midfield.

"On the contrary, in the frontcourt, the frontcourt trident composed of Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi performed well in this game. Although Ancelotti made targeted defensive arrangements, he was still scored twice. I believe that in the next five years, Barcelona will still have the world's top and most luxurious attacking lineup."

"In comparison, Real Madrid is inevitably overshadowed in terms of lineup, but they have the No.1 Yang Yang in world football."

"From the derby of the century that just passed, it is not difficult to find that Yang Yang is not only the most important player in the Real Madrid team, but also the most eye-catching superstar in the Nou Camp. His light even completely overwhelmed the three superstars of Barcelona. With an undisputed hat-trick, he led Real Madrid to reverse Barcelona."

"This reminds us of a joke at the beginning of the season: when Barcelona introduced Sanchez, Real Madrid sold Ibrahimovic and Kaka, and responded that we had Yang Yang; when Barcelona introduced Neymar, Real Madrid responded that we had Yang Yang; when Barcelona introduced Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid still responded that we had Yang Yang."

"Now, this joke has a preliminary result, that is, when Barcelona scored goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi twice at the Nou Camp, Real Madrid's Yang Yang performed a hat-trick, leading the team to reverse Barcelona away and complete a ten-game winning streak!"

L'Equipe also said at the end that in this derby of the century, Yang Yang's competitive state and strength are unbelievable, which also makes the upcoming FIFA Ballon d'Or full of suspense again.

"Perhaps, before the Derby of the Century, we all believed that there should be no suspense for Messi to win the award, because he won the most important championship in [-], which is the Champions League."

"But now, we have to start guessing. Although Yang Yang missed the Champions League, he won the La Liga and Copa del Rey double crown, and he was the top scorer last season and this season. Is this more important?"

"Especially after the Derby of the Century, we have to admit that Yang Yang did perform better and better, and shouldn't the FIFA Ballon d'Or be awarded to the player who performed better in the past year?"

L'Equipe's question is also a question from the media and fans all over the world.

This derby of the century made the Golden Globe competition, which had no suspense, become full of suspense again because of Yang Yang's outstanding performance.
