striker cool brother

Chapter 614 In the ball control battle, Akun played
In the 20th minute of the game, both sides had 50% of the ball.

This is a situation that has never occurred in the previous national derby.

No matter how bad Barcelona is, it will be 10 percentage points higher than Real Madrid in possession rate.

But this time, Real Madrid did not sit still.

Barcelona put the focus of the frontcourt siege on Mendy, who has returned from injury.

Mendy can bring pressure resistance to the defense, but he still seems a little embarrassed in the face of Barcelona's key siege.

In order to ease the pressure on Mendy, Ancelotti placed Kroos at left-back to organize passes from the backcourt.

After pushing Mendy to the midfield, he can play his offensive attributes and cooperate with Rossi.

Real Madrid's 4-3-3 formation can use the wingers to widen the width, use the precise guidance of Cross's backcourt to break the press, and form a vertical attack.

In addition, Benzema will also retreat to the wing to support, and Real Madrid will play the ball in the backcourt, which can be described in one word.

stable!
This is why Real Madrid's possession rate can account for 50%.

Koeman put Messi and Pedri in the forward position in this game.

But in fact, they are more in line with the identity of a false No. 9.

Facing Real Madrid's tight defense, Pedri will appear in the middle as a wall, covering or cooperating with Messi's offense.

But the difference in physical fitness put him at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

In the 26th minute, Barcelona attacked in the frontcourt.

Pogba turned around with the ball in the middle, passed it to Pedri at the front, and immediately advanced.

When Pedri was stuck, he lost to Militao in strength.

After being lightly bumped by the opponent, the body instantly lost its balance and fell backwards.

But the moment he fell down, Pedri kept in mind that he was supporting the striker in this game, and used the back of his instep to flick the ball to Pogba who was plugging in behind.

This former "Mr. Billionaire" has not fulfilled his talent since he transferred to Manchester United.

In just a few years, his worth has shrunk significantly, from 3000 million to [-] million euros.

On loan to Barcelona, ​​I hope that I can rejuvenate myself at Camp Nou.

Pogba, who went forward, threw off Modric's defense, and Militao made up the defense in time to prevent him from turning around and facing the goal.

There was no chance in the crowded center, Pogba had to pass to Garvey on the wing.

This young player who has just been promoted from the second team has a maturity and calmness beyond his peers in ball control, dribbling and passing.

Both he and Pedri were highly praised by the Western media.

The two were even hailed as Barcelona's new generation of Harvey and Iniesta.

Garvey kicked the ball and was about to pass it. After seeing Carvajal intercepting it, he dunked his right foot cleverly, broke through to the bottom line, and then swept the ball to the goal.

Messi goes forward from behind and grabs a shot.

Unfortunately, under the interference of Casemiro, the ball rubbed against the outside of the near post and rolled out of the baseline.

Barcelona missed another chance.

But this goal also sounded the alarm for Real Madrid's defense.

Opposite, but there is Messi.

He can quietly appear in any corner of the restricted area.

You can also shoot from any angle in the penalty area.

The suddenness and variety of his shots are even better than Rossi's.

But Koeman also found problems from several offenses.

The striker combination of Messi and Pedri, in most cases, requires one of them to retreat and act as a midfielder.

The flexible turn and change of direction of the two will cause some troubles for the central defender, so as to cover the teammates behind him, and use a quick kick to penetrate the Real Madrid defense.

But this will encounter some problems. When Real Madrid's defense is deep back, no one at the front can serve as a fulcrum to resist the impact of Real Madrid's defense.

Barcelona still needs a fulcrum.

This fulcrum, Pedri can't do it, Messi can't do it.

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the Barcelona players quickly returned to the locker room to take time to rest and make tactical adjustments.

The Real Madrid players returned to the locker room talking and laughing.

In the first half of the game, the offensive opportunities of both sides were almost equal.

It's just that Real Madrid's ability to seize opportunities is stronger.

"Ro, Toni, Luca, you performed very well in the first half."

Ancelotti was not shy about praising the performance of the trio.

He once said at the press conference before the game that against Barcelona, ​​defense must be done first.

Since Barcelona's focus is on the two full-backs, Kroos and Modric will naturally take on more defensive responsibilities.

Ancelotti's use of the two is also completely different.

By placing Cross behind, the effect of playing the ball in the backcourt is achieved.

Modric has done a lot of work on both ends of the offense and defense to ensure the balance of offense and defense.

As for Rossi, he plays an extremely important role in scoring goals, and his teammates are amazed at his overall view and superb football IQ when passing the ball.

If it's someone else, they usually choose to pass Alaba directly, and it's over if they go forward.

Back in the second half, they changed sides to fight again, and Barcelona attacked.

Compared with the first half, Barcelona deliberately strengthened the wing breakthrough.

Their purpose is not to cross, but to create fouls and corner kicks, and then use indirect free kicks and corner kicks to find opportunities to score goals.

In the 48th minute, Pique successfully grabbed the point in a corner kick and shook his head to attack the goal.

Unfortunately, the ball brushed the goal post and rolled out of the baseline.

Only 2 minutes later, Barcelona's wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt, after Pedri hit the bottom line, passed the ball back to the center.

Messi, who had been in ambush for a long time, suddenly burst out and volleyed the ball directly with his left foot.

Under the interference of Alaba, Messi's shot was not completely accurate. After the ball bounced off the ground, it bounced off the baseline from above the crossbar.

After seeing the opponent's obvious strengthening of the offensive, Ancelotti's worries are slowly fermenting.

Kroos and Modric in the ceremonial midfielder, as they grow older, their midfield control has declined.

In addition, in the first half, in order to cooperate with the team's tactics, a lot of physical fitness was sacrificed.

Now, the two whose physical strength is beginning to be overdrawn are directly reflected in the ball possession rate.

Valverde and Isco, as Real Madrid's substitute players, returned to the bench from the warm-up area, while arranging their equipment, while listening to the tactics arranged by assistant Davide.

Real Madrid is about to make substitutions and adjustments, but Koeman is one step ahead of Real Madrid.

In the 60th minute, Aguero replaced Durst and added a point on the front line who could hold the ball.

Repeated knee injuries made Aguero gradually reduced to the team's substitute. Sometimes Guardiola would rather use De Bruyne as a striker than use him, which made Aguero disheartened.

As the contract expired, Aguero, who was not renewed, chose to leave the fiercely confrontational Premier League and return to La Liga, which made him famous.

Although Aguero is not tall, as the fulcrum of the frontcourt, he has a first-class ability to hold the ball with his back and can protect and control the ball in confrontation to cooperate with his teammates' ground offense.

Just when Real Madrid was about to make a substitution, Barcelona's attack suddenly hit the goal.

After Pogba got the ball near the center circle, there were no Real Madrid players to interfere.

The French midfielder also used his iconic long pass directly to Garvey on the wing.

Facing Mendy's defense, Garvey used a feint to break through inward. At the moment of attracting the defense, he kicked the ground with his right foot and exerted force. After landing quickly with his left foot, he pushed the ball to the bottom line.

The change of rhythm made Mendy half a beat slower in his reaction.

It was this half-beat that allowed Garvey to successfully pass the ball to the goal.

Aguero caught the spot with precision and knocked the ball into the goal with his heel before Alaba.
