Chapter 958 The Threat From Real Madrid

The game restarted, but Real Madrid seemed to be more motivated. They directly pressed Barcelona in the frontcourt, caught Barcelona by surprise, and quickly snatched the ball again.

In the second minute, David Silva was on the left side of the 30-meter area, and made a diagonal pass to the left to find Yang Yang.

Yang Yang pulled the ball to the open space on the side to stop the ball, and directly faced Alves who was defending him. After a fake move of stepping on a bicycle, he made a gesture to cut in. After tricking the Brazilian right back into blocking, he suddenly dunked over and rushed to the baseline at the fastest speed.

After breaking through a gap, Yang Yang quickly made a cross with his left foot into the penalty area.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic followed up with a header from close range, but was blocked by goalkeeper Valdes with both hands and blocked the crossbar.

Although it failed to result in a goal, Real Madrid's offense still posed a threat.

Ibrahimovic gave Yang Yang a thumbs up from a distance, obviously very satisfied with Yang Yang's pass this time.

……

The first corner kick of the game failed to create a threat. Barcelona quickly counterattacked and rushed directly to the hinterland of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid retreated at full speed. Marcelo cooperated with Pepe when facing Sanchez, and at the same time intercepted the ball and quickly handed it to Xavi Alonso.

As soon as the Spanish midfielder stopped the ball, he turned around and made a long diagonal pass, which was accurately sent to the left behind the Barcelona defense.

Yang Yang and Alves competed for speed, and they sprinted towards the ball at the same time.

During the sprint, Alves pulled Yang Yang's jersey many times, trying to stop him, but failed.

Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Yang Yang took the first step, hooked the ball back into the line with his left foot, and waded to the baseline before Alves.

The speed of the ball is extremely fast, even if it is just a wading, it almost makes the ball roll out of the baseline.

Alves tried to block Yang Yang on the left, preferably letting the ball go straight out of the baseline and become a goal kick for Barcelona.

But Yang Yang seized the opportunity everywhere. First, he made a fake move to make a direct pass, which tricked Alves into blocking the ball. In fact, he suddenly buckled the ball back from the bottom line.

When the Brazilian right back raised his foot, the ball passed from Alves' crotch, forming a crotch penetration.

The Brazilian right back turned around, pulled desperately, and directly pulled down Yang Yang on the left side of the perimeter of the penalty area.

The referee whistled for a free kick, but did not give a card.

Both Yang Yang and the Real Madrid players were not very satisfied with the penalty, because if Alves hadn't pulled Yang Yang down at the time, he was fully capable of dribbling the ball directly into the penalty area. At this time, the possibility of Real Madrid scoring another goal is very high.

But on the court, the referee is God. Since he doesn't think there is such a possibility, then no one can do anything about it.

……

In less than 1 minute, Real Madrid made another comeback.

It was sent to the feet of Yang Yang on the left again, but this time Marcelo's forward penetration was stronger, directly inserting from the left rib to the left side of the front of the penalty area, and Yang Yang also attracted Alves' attention, and decisively crossed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Marcelo turned around after stopping the ball, volleyed vigorously with his left foot, slightly brushed the post and went out of the baseline.

All the Barcelona players broke out in a cold sweat, even Guardiola on the sidelines jumped up, walked to the sidelines angrily, shouted at the players on the field, and signaled them to return to defense in time to block Marcelo.

"His back thrust was too fast, too sudden, and too resolute this time." Vilanova shook his head and sighed.

This is indeed quite a surprising move, because in the previous Benitez era, although Marcelo would also go forward, but not so much, especially when Real Madrid adopted a double midfielder tactic, the two full backs were still restricted.

But now, Arbeloa on the right is not good at attacking, but he often crosses the center line, and Marcelo on the left this time directly pressed to the front of Barcelona's penalty area and almost broke into the penalty area.

This intensity can be said to be unprecedented, and it also surprised everyone in Barcelona.

Could it be that Ancelotti is really determined to play offensive football?

"This is a kind of suppression." Guardiola sees it more clearly.

Vilanova quickly understood, "What do you mean, use offense instead of defense, and use the attack from the left to suppress our right?"

Guardiola nodded, that is indeed the case, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Yang Yang was so active after the opening, and every time Real Madrid counterattacked, they directly hit the left.

"Marcelo pressed so high, isn't he afraid of our counterattack?" Vilanova asked inexplicably.

Guardiola shook his head. His assistant's consideration of the problem was still too simple.

The premise of counterattack is to be able to grab the ball first, but when Real Madrid is attacking the left, Yang Yang, David Silva and Marcelo not only have the advantage in numbers, but also the skills of these three players are very good.

Even if Barcelona made a quick counterattack, Real Madrid still has Xavi Alonso and Javi Martinez at the end. As long as the counterattack line is compressed on the side, it can only be crossed, and Pepe and Ramos in the middle will limit Messi.

Of course, this is also a risk, and the bet is on the players' game investment and tactical execution.

At first glance, the tactics of Ancelotti and Benitez seem to be in the same line. They seem to be relatively similar, but the Italians invest more in offense, have higher requirements for passing and receiving, and have more tactical coordination routines.

But these are laymen, and Guardiola clearly sees that there are essential differences between the two coaches.

Ancelotti believed in the players, Benitez believed in the system.

Benitez believes that with a strict system as the core, the best situation is that the players become robots and unswervingly implement his tactical requirements, then he can win every game.

Of course Ancelotti also values ​​the system, but he values ​​people more, so he is willing to adjust his tactical system for the players, because he believes that the players are a team and the protagonist of a game, not the tactical system.

From Benitez's point of view, it can bring integrity to the team, but it will inevitably limit the individual performance of the players, just like Yang Yang's continuous individual singles after the opening just now. This situation was rare during Benitez's coaching period.

To some extent, Benitez is conservative, imprisoning players' imagination and on-the-spot performance.

Ancelotti is moderate, wanting to give full play to the individual performance and creativity of the players on the basis of the overall stability of the team.

Therefore, the two coaches are essentially very different.

Ancelotti looked more like a Spanish coach influenced by Italian football, while Benitez looked more like a dogmatic Italian coach.

This is very interesting.

Guardiola himself was also influenced by Italian football, and at the same time was guided by the madman Bielsa, so to some extent, he doesn't like Benitez, but he appreciates Ancelotti more.

But in this game, he suddenly felt disgusted and disliked Ancelotti.

Because Real Madrid made him threatened.

Just when Guardiola was wary, Real Madrid once again played offensive cooperation on the court.

……

Marcelo sprints forward along the left flank.

Xavi Alonso sent the ball precisely in front of him, allowing the Brazilian left-back to catch up with the ball, and continued to move forward in large strides, without slowing down at all, crossing the halfway line and rushing directly to the 30-meter zone of Barcelona.

David Silva came over to respond, and after receiving a pass from Marcelo, he quickly knocked back, forming a two-to-one hit-the-wall cooperation.

Yang Yang has already given up the entire left side, and he appeared on the left side of the front of the penalty area. This is the area he is best at and most sure of. It is jokingly called Yang Yang's area by the media and fans.

After catching up with David Silva's knockback, Marcelo wanted to use his speed to forcibly break through Alves' defense, but the Brazilian right back was also very flexible and fast, so he didn't give him such a chance.

On the left side of the penalty area, Marcelo made a sudden stop and crossed the ball to Yang Yang's feet with his left foot.

Because Barcelona's defensive attention was drawn away by Marcelo, Yang Yang deliberately ran to the undefended area, so when he received the ball, he deliberately stopped with his right foot, turned around quickly, took a step forward, and quickly shot a volley with his right foot.

Like a cannonball, the ball flew out from Yang Yang's right foot quickly, passed between Pique and Abidal who were trying to block sideways, and hit the top right corner of the goal!
"World wave!!!!"

"God, it's only eleven minutes!"

"Real Madrid broke through Barcelona's goal again in the No. 11 minute of the first half!"

"It's just unbelievable!"

"Yang Yang was too active after the start. He scored twice and helped Real Madrid lead [-]-[-]!"

"After the start of the game, Real Madrid's offense was very sharp. Barcelona even failed to create a threatening offensive. Instead, Real Madrid broke the goal again and again, and threatened the penalty area several times."

"This is unbelievable. If you look at the performance in the first ten minutes or so, Real Madrid has completely dominated the field. Even Barcelona's most proud pass and possession, Real Madrid has achieved an overwhelming lead."

……

Yang Yang was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium. Amid the cheers of Real Madrid fans, he rushed to the sidelines, slid and knelt in front of the live broadcast camera, and kissed the match live broadcast camera forcefully.

Except for the goalkeeper Iker Casillas, all Real Madrid players frantically rushed to the sidelines, surrounded Yang Yang, and celebrated this wonderful goal with him.

From stopping the ball to kicking into the dead corner, this is a real world wave.

Yang Yang's state in this game is indeed very good. This is what everyone has expected before, because he has always been the most hard-working player in the Real Madrid team.

In fact, as early as last season, Yang Yang was already in top form, but it was a pity that he was injured in early September, which interrupted his state, otherwise, his performance would have been even more astonishing.
