Chapter 1411 Capture of Camp Nou

Since switching from Liverpool to Los Angeles Galaxy in January [-], Steven Gerrard has gradually faded out of the mainstream European leagues, and fans seem to have gradually forgotten the legendary captain of Liverpool.

It was not until November 24 that Gerrard officially announced the news of his retirement on Twitter, which triggered reports from the media and fans. At that time, Yang Yang had interacted with Gerrard on Twitter.

A week later, Gerrard in a neat suit appeared on the famous BT Sports live broadcast room, explaining the world-renowned Derby of the Century to fans in the UK, and with him was the legendary Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.

During the game, the two former stars were all amazed by the process of the game, especially Yang Yang's big four.

"I have noticed that, perhaps due to the influence of Yang Yang's performance in recent years, many fans have raised the standard of evaluation very high, so they may not be particularly aware of the concept of performing a big four on the world's top stage like the Derby of the Century. I can say that tomorrow morning all the newspapers in the world will report frantically."

Gerrard gave a very high evaluation of the performance of his friend Yang Yang. He believed that Yang Yang's performance in the two key games of the Madrid Derby and the Century Derby was enough for him to win the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer without any surprises.

"Facing such a crazy performance, no award can refuse Yang Yang."

Rio Ferdinand also agrees with Gerrard's statement very much. He believes that the appearance of Yang Yang has greatly increased the upper limit of football players. "His appearance made us discover that human beings can achieve such a level."

Ferdinand used to be a central defender and had a fight with Yang Yang. He thought Yang Yang was the scariest killer he had ever seen, and also the greatest football player ever.

"Even at the age of 30, he is still the most threatening scorer on the planet. The worst thing Barcelona did tonight is that their defensive players can hardly keep up with Yang Yang's rhythm and pace."

"Pique was played by Yang Yang in several direct conversations with Yang Yang. He was injured, which should have affected him, not to mention Umtiti. In the first half, Yang Yang stopped the ball and turned around and went directly into the penalty area. It was a disaster for the defensive player. He could have done better. I guess he was afraid of fouling."

Ferdinand believes that this involves another scary aspect of Yang Yang, which is comprehensiveness.

"I met Beckham, and he told me that when Yang Yang played right winger in his early years, he had some shadows in his crosses and free kicks, but at the same time, he learned free kicks from Juninho, but after years of hard training, Yang Yang has found his own set of free kick skills, which is difficult for others to learn and is very stable."

Ferdinand said that facing such Yang Yang, it would be difficult for any team to find a way to freeze him.

"Perhaps only time will finally overcome this fearsome genius."

……

In addition to praising Yang Yang, both Ferdinand and Gerrard mentioned the problem of Barcelona. They both believed that the main responsibility for Barcelona's performance tonight was themselves.

"They looked lazy when they got the ball. Look at Neymar, he looks very depressed and depressed, as if he doesn't know what he should do at all, and he seems indifferent to the victory or defeat. This is a terrible state."

Later, Ferdinand took out another set of data to prove his remarks, that is, Neymar's running distance was only 690 meters, which is very, very poor data.

"Among all the non-goalkeepers who played the whole game, he is the player with the least running distance of the two teams, even less than eight kilometers. What kind of concept is this? The player who runs the most in Barcelona is the right back Sergi Roberto."

"We have all seen that Roberto made a lot of mistakes in this game, but judging from the running distance, we cannot deny that he is the most diligent and competitive player in the team, followed by Alba and Busquets. They also reached [-] meters. They are the three players who ran the most in Barcelona."

"We can imagine how bad the running of other teams is? Pique is 500 meters, Umtiti is 300 meters, Messi is 500 meters, and Cristiano Ronaldo is 450 meters. The whole Barcelona team didn't run much. It can be seen that they are indeed very tired. The schedule has reached December."

Gerrard also agrees with Ferdinand's analysis. He believes that the collective performance of Barcelona's players is indeed sluggish, but not only because of Barcelona's own reasons, but also because of the problems of the Real Madrid team.

"We saw that Yang Yang left the field in No. 60 minutes, but at that time his running distance had reached 500 meters. He used 10 minutes of running, which was comparable to the running distance of Barcelona players who played the whole game."

"When counting the data of Real Madrid's players, it is not difficult to find that among all Real Madrid's players who played the whole field, all of them exceeded 1000 meters. This is a matchup that is not at the same level at all, because in terms of running data, Real Madrid is almost in an overwhelming advantage, and Barcelona is completely crushed."

Both Gerrard and Ferdinand agree with one point of view, that is, football games must run, and a team that can't run can't win the ball at all. In this derby of the century, the most obvious problem is that Barcelona can't keep up with Real Madrid's running.

"If you don't run, you don't pass the ball, you don't press, you don't try to win!"

Gerrard said that this was the trick when Barcelona swept European football that year, that is to run, and everyone in the team ran!

Regarding the result of this game, both Gerrard and Ferdinand said that unless Real Madrid makes another major mistake this season, otherwise, with the current nine-point lead of Real Madrid and the excellent state of the team, it is impossible for Barcelona to reverse.

"This is likely to be another season dominated by Real Madrid!"

And Gerrard is full of confidence in his old friend Yang Yang. He believes that with Yang Yang's current performance, no matter whether it is the Golden Globe Award or the World Footballer, he is none other than him.

"Any award that does not choose Yang Yang this year will completely lose its authority!"

…………

…………

Sure enough, as Gerrard and Ferdinand expected, on the second day, the media all over the world were frantically reporting the derby of the century, because the score of [-]-[-] was too disparate and too dramatic.

Yang Yang's big four was unanimously praised by the media and fans all over the world. Even the Catalan media close to Barcelona had to admit that Yang Yang captured the Nou Camp again!
The World Sports Daily even wrote an article with the title: Yang Yang tore down Barcelona's last fig leaf with four goals!

The media, known as the mouthpiece of Barcelona, ​​believes that the outstanding performance of Yang Yang and Real Madrid is the main reason for Barcelona's defeat, but the source of the team's shame comes from within. From the loss of players, to the mishandling of the head coach, and even to management problems, these all broke out in this crucial matchup.

The World Sports Daily also listed the running data of the players of the two teams, and was puzzled by the "abnormality" of many players on the team, and at the same time felt unbelievable for Barcelona's overall downturn.

"Why does our trident always misfire in the strong dialogue?"

This is a question that has been asked by the media for several years, but has never been able to find an answer.

Not only facing Real Madrid, but also Atletico Madrid, and other teams. Even now, even teams like Real Sociedad and Malaga can contain Barcelona's offense. Why?
Could it be that the trident is not strong enough?
No, this is an attack combination composed of the top five players in the world, how could it be not strong?

The Daily Sport reported on Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets’ answer to the reporter’s question after the game. The Barcelona players said, “Their tactical plan is much better than ours. It’s not a matter of attitude. In fact, we tried our best, but their pressing was more fierce, their tactical awareness was stronger, and the pace of the game was faster. They made all the preparations and got the results they wanted. In the face of them, we were more at a loss.”

The newspaper believes that Busquets is accusing Luis Enrique of tactical mistakes, questioning Enrique's formation in this strong dialogue, especially the reuse of midfield partner Andre Gomez.

But in the post-match press conference, when the media threw Busquets' remarks to Enrique, the Barcelona coach was furious on the spot, "I don't believe this is what our players said after the game, or I think it was what he said on impulse."

Enrique said that scoring goals and performing better is the key, and this is what players should do.

"Actually, we changed our tactics in the second half. Tonight's mistakes have little to do with tactics."

But Enrique is obviously unwilling to intensify the conflict. He said that no matter whether the team wins or loses, he is the main person responsible, and he is willing to take responsibility for it.

However, some media retorted on the spot, thinking that in the second half, Barcelona had fallen behind [-]-[-], and tactical adjustments had little effect at this time, which made the Barcelona coach leave the table in anger.

In addition to the media, former Barcelona chairman Laporta also accepted media interviews on the second day of the game, saying that the current Barcelona management is destroying Barcelona.

"The only thing they do is to use the team and wealth left by me during my administration to do their own thing. It is very dangerous for Barcelona to continue to be controlled by these people."

Laporta believes that his governance is the pinnacle of Barcelona's history. That is because he can not only build a strong team, but also is willing to take responsibility. In contrast, Bartomeu...

"As the chairman, things got messed up and we lost [-]-[-] at home to Real Madrid. At this time, the first thing we should do is to stand up and take responsibility, but I am shocked that it is already the second day. I haven't seen Bartomeu yet. What is he doing?"

……

A world-shocking defeat caused Barcelona to be questioned overwhelmingly from the players to the coach to the management.

As the winner, Real Madrid has also been hailed by the whole world.

But Real Madrid has no time to enjoy all this, because they still have a hard fight.
