super storm

Chapter 961
On the evening of August 23th, at [-]:[-] sharp.

Barcelona Camp Nou Stadium.

As soon as the second round of the Super Cup started, Real Madrid turned away and tried to launch a wave of attacks. They also created several opportunities in the first 10 minutes, but they were either saved by the goalkeeper or failed to pose a threat.

Guardiola obviously also heard the call from the outside world, especially Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​and strengthened the defense of Real Madrid's left side and blocked Yang Yang, which greatly limited Real Madrid's offensive firepower.

This time Barcelona entered the state faster. From the 10th minute, the home team firmly locked the ball on the field and began to organize offensives against Real Madrid one after another. Especially in the No. 15 minute, after Barcelona successfully intercepted the ball near the center line, it was handed over to Messi.

Messi retreated very deep, got rid of Mascherano's defense after receiving the ball, and sent an exquisite direct pass to his teammates in the frontcourt, tearing through Real Madrid's defense. Iniesta easily reversed offside and scored with a single shot.

One to zero, the total score is two to three!

The entire Camp Nou stadium was boiling, and all Barcelona fans were shouting at the top of their lungs.

They are eager to see a big reversal, and Barcelona also showed the determination and fighting spirit to reverse Real Madrid before the game.

It has been two years since they crushed Real Madrid and lost consecutively in the past two years, which made everyone in Barcelona feel ashamed, especially last season, they had almost nothing but a La Liga title, and they even continued the curse of losing streak against Real Madrid, which they could not accept anyway.

After pulling back a goal, they saw hope, so everyone became more involved and more active.

Real Madrid is playing away, and the scene is at a disadvantage, and the situation is relatively passive. In addition, Messi suddenly assisted Iniesta to score the goal, which disrupted the minds of the Real Madrid players and caused some confusion on the scene.

The player's mental disorder is precisely the situation that Barcelona wants to see the most, so Barcelona began to organize and plan attacks one after another.

Ancelotti's formation in this game is still a bit more stable, and he still has a four-three-three three-back midfielder formation, but there is a very interesting change. In addition to Xavi Alonso and Xavi Martinez, the other midfielder is not Mascherano, nor Modric or Herrera, but Kaka.

This can't help but make people feel very puzzled, but as long as they think of Ancelotti's transformation of Pirlo back then, people can't help but wonder, is he planning to train Kaka into another Pirlo?

You must know that since Kaka was injured, he has long lost the lightning speed of his former peak period, and his physical fitness is not as good as when he was strong. In the past two years, Kaka has been facing transformation.

Everyone, including Kaka himself, knows that only when the transformation is successful can Kaka's career be continued. Otherwise, with his current situation, it may be difficult for him to continue to gain a foothold in Real Madrid after the age of 30.

Although Kaka has always been an attacking midfielder, in fact, his overall view and ability to read the game, as well as his passing ability, are quite good, but his peak period was covered by his speed.

The arrival of Carlo Ancelotti was also entrusted by the management of Real Madrid with high hopes of transforming Real Madrid, because Kaka is also a player that Florentino has mainly introduced. Naturally, the chairman of Real Madrid still hopes that Kaka can succeed in Real Madrid.

But judging from the beginning of the game, Kaka is still somewhat uncomfortable playing as a midfielder, especially on the defensive end. He has enough investment and is willing to work hard, but he is still not familiar with it. It will take a little time.

The conceded goal just now is more or less related to Kaka.

…………

…………

Yang Yang was in the front, but frequently retreated to participate in the defense.

He clearly knows that Barcelona can no longer be allowed to continue to control the situation like this, otherwise, Real Madrid may really be reversed, because this is the Nou Camp stadium.

In this stadium, under the frenzied atmosphere created by this group of crazy Barcelona fans, it is entirely possible for a crazy Barcelona to create any kind of miracle, including reversing Real Madrid.

This is 10 people!

What does it feel like to be an enemy of 10 people?
Anyone who has not been at the Camp Nou cannot understand this feeling anyway.

Especially when Messi assisted Iniesta to get a goal back, all the Barcelona fans in the audience were boiling. At this time, the Barcelona players on the field were almost crazy. Let alone playing football, they would step forward without hesitation.

And facing such an opponent, the best way is to pour a bucket of cold water on them, let them wake up, interrupt their state, and it must be fast.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang immediately made a gesture towards Ibrahimovic, and then looked in the direction of Harvey Alonso and others in the backcourt, and pointed to his own goal inquiringly.

Xavi Alonso nodded immediately.

Soon, the Real Madrid team began to shrink appropriately. Even the trident in the front court retreated past the center line and pushed directly to the 30-meter area. This is a strategy of Real Madrid to keep the defensive position tight and avoid giving Barcelona too much space for passing and controlling the ball.

Yang Yang himself retreated into the 30-meter zone and actively participated in the defense, especially against Alves.

Barcelona has made adjustments in this game. The defense line from right to left is Alves, Pique, Puyol and Abidal. Captain Puyol directly entered the starting lineup after his comeback. In addition, new aids Sanchez and Fabregas sat on the bench for this game.

Obviously, Guardiola realized that the new aid did not have a good understanding with the team, which led to the unfavorable offense in the first round of the game, so he still ranked the combination of Villa, Messi and Pedro in this game.

In this case, Alves took on the task of launching an attack from the right, and as long as Alves pressed up, Busquets took on the task of filling the gap behind him.

Yang Yang was waiting for this opportunity!
……

After Barcelona scored a goal, Real Madrid was almost forced to play within the 30-meter area. The scene was very passive, but there were more opportunities to steal the ball from the backcourt, but how to send the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt?
Just 5 minutes after the goal was conceded, there was another steal from the backcourt. Maicon pulled the ball near the right line of the court, avoided the counter-attack of the Barcelona players, took a step forward, and wanted to pass forward, but Robben would definitely not be able to catch Abidal in front.

When Maicon was struggling, Kaka suddenly rushed forward and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

As a teammate of the Brazilian national team, Maicon didn't know Kaka and passed the ball quickly.

After Kaka received the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball forward from the right side, obliquely to the left, and towards the middle circle.

Xavi and Iniesta both rushed towards Kaka immediately, but the Brazilian took the first step and sent the ball directly to the feet of Yang Yang on the left side of the center circle.

Alves stepped forward with an assist, and Busquets was attracted by Kaka with the ball. Only Pique reacted the fastest and rushed towards Yang Yang at the first time, trying to make a clearance or even make a foul while he didn't stop the ball.

Pique was approaching menacingly, and Yang Yang also reacted quickly. He took the first step and stopped the ball to Zlatan Ibrahimovic nearby.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic understands, but it is not easy to pass to Yang Yang. Puyol and Busquets are restricting him, so the Swedish center can only hit back to Kaka who inserted from the backcourt.

Kaka's back thrusts have always been superb, especially just now, after retreating to the back waistline, his back thrusts this time directly hit the weakness of Barcelona's defense. As soon as he received a pass from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he saw Abidal who was rushing towards him, and quickly slid the ball straight behind him.

Robben is like a sharp knife, slanting behind Abidal, after catching up with the ball, he dribbles straight into the penalty area.

Puyol chased back all the way. Although Robben was stuck, the Dutchman crossed to the center with his right foot. Yang Yang forcibly threw Pique away with his speed, shot from close range, and sent the ball into the lower right corner of Barcelona's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"One to one!"

"Real Madrid pulled back the score in the No. 20 minute, and the two sides returned to a draw one to one!"

"This is a very exciting and concise counter-attack. All the players basically passed quickly and played very suddenly, from the right to the left, then from the left to the center and then to the right. Then Robben crossed and assisted Yang Yang to score the goal."

"What a classic counterattack!"

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he pointed at his teammates such as Robben and Kaka from a distance, and rushed out of the court all the way.

All the Real Madrid players also flew up one after another.

One to one, the total score was four to two, and the gap between the two sides widened again.

More importantly, Real Madrid's counterattack made Barcelona feel stuck in the throat.

However, the most surprising thing is Kaka, who changed to play as a midfielder.

Where does this look like a midfielder?
"In Real Madrid's counterattack, Kaka played a very important role. His back thrust made Real Madrid's offense even more unpredictable. Whether it was the diagonal pass to Yang Yang or the subsequent through pass to Robben, it was amazing."

"Yang Yang is obviously aware of Kaka's contribution, so he hugged Kaka by the waist and celebrated the goal."

"Ancelotti is indeed very surprising. No one thought that he would choose Kaka to play as a midfielder. Since the beginning of the game, Kaka's performance has been quite average, but this time he suddenly stepped in and directed a goal. It is indeed eye-catching. Perhaps this will bring new changes to Kaka's transformation."

……

Yang Yang's goal seemed to have poured a bucket of cold water on the head of the fanatical Barcelona, ​​making them sober.

And then, Real Madrid's three midfielder style of play gradually regained its sense, coupled with Ancelotti's on-the-spot adjustments, immediately allowed Real Madrid to stabilize their position again.

Guardiola and his Barcelona also had to re-examine Real Madrid's counterattack. If they want to attack, they must press up, but once they press up, can they stop Real Madrid's counterattack?
In this kind of hesitation, Barcelona failed to increase its offensive investment afterwards, and even in No. 705 minutes, Guardiola replaced Pedro with Cesc Fabregas.

Everyone knew before the game that tonight's battle was Cesc Fabregas's debut at Barcelona.

But in the end, Fabregas, who made his debut, also failed to help Barcelona regain the situation.

In the remaining 70 minutes, the two sides just attacked and defended dully, creating dangerous situations several times, but no one was able to score. In the end, the two sides shook hands one-on-one.

Real Madrid beat Barcelona [-]-[-] on aggregate to win the Spanish Super Cup.
