Chapter 628: Long pass, subverting the tradition of Barcelona

Inside the tunnel, a fence separates the two teams of players.

Although there is a barrier in the middle, players on both sides can feel the tense atmosphere before the game.

The national derby is not a place where old friends meet, it is a battlefield where you compete for it.

The referee Martinez-Munuela-Juan walked to the front of the team, shook hands with the captains of both sides, and said hello.

In the absence of Benzema, Nacho wore the captain's armband.

Messi is still the captain of Barcelona.

Under the leadership of the referee, players from both sides stepped onto this sacred turf in the face of the cheers of more than 8 fans.

Before the opening ceremony, Rossi received the La Liga Player of the Month trophy for February.

After the simple opening ceremony, the captains of the two sides exchanged team flags in the middle circle and guessed coins.

The visiting team Barcelona gets the kick-off.

Real Madrid starters:
Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defense: Nacho, Alaba, Militao, Carvajal.

Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Modric.

Forwards: Vinicius, Rossi, Rodrygo.

Real Madrid's starting 11 are worth a total of 5.07 million euros, with an average age of 27.6 years.

Barcelona starting:

Goalkeeper: Ter Schent.

Defense: Alba, Pique, Araujo.

Back midfielder: Busquets, Pogba.

Midfielders: Pedri, Garvey, Frankie De Jong.

Forwards: Messi, Aubameyang.

Barcelona's starting 11 are worth a total of 4.02 million euros, with an average age of 27.9 years.

As soon as the game whistle sounded, Real Madrid, who were playing at home, were not in a hurry to attack, but built a defense line in their own half.

With Rodrigo replacing Benzema, Real Madrid's offensive firepower is not damaged much, but in terms of offensive methods, it is inevitable that they are a bit single.

Moreover, Mendy is injured, and Nacho's ability at the defender position is relatively balanced and mediocre.

On the offensive end, they can't play sharp counterattacks, are not aggressive in defense, and lack a sense of hierarchy, forcing Real Madrid to use three and a half defenders to support the defense.

In order to further stabilize the line of defense, Kroos on the left will help defend and make up for the loopholes in the line of defense.

In the 3rd minute, Barcelona made an attempt first. Alba took the ball from the side and passed it to the center. Aubameyang headed the ball over the crossbar.

Although it failed to threaten the goal, it also reminded Real Madrid's defense.

Real Madrid has the ball and Courtois kicks off.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper did not use a long pass with big feet, but passed it on the ground and handed the ball to Alaba.

The absence of Benzema makes Real Madrid lack a stable fulcrum on the front line.

Although Rossi can barely cope, Ancelotti doesn't want him to waste his energy on things he is not good at.

Ancelotti's idea is to use pass control + speed-up to control the rhythm.

But Barcelona will not give Real Madrid this chance.

After Aubameyang settled down as Barcelona's main striker, Barcelona's frontcourt pressing has greatly increased.

The two teenagers, Pedri and Garvey, will form a flexible and fast oppression team with Aubameyang.

And Messi's position will be moved back slightly, forming a second interception line with De Jong and Pogba.

Under the pressure of Barcelona, ​​​​Real Madrid's ball movement in the backcourt was not smooth.

In many cases, the ball was forced to move to the wing and fell into the siege of Barcelona's frontcourt players.

Either it was cut off or it was cut off by a Barcelona player during a long pass transfer.

In the position of center forward, Rossi seems to be a bit alone.

In the frontcourt press, Barcelona's principle is not to let Real Madrid's three midfielders have any chance to turn around.

Barcelona will give priority to driving the ball to the wing, taking advantage of the lack of support points in front of Carvajal to encircle and suppress.

Once Real Madrid transfers the ball to the middle, Casemiro will also become the target of the siege immediately.

Harvey knows in his heart that Casemiro's defense is indeed among the top five in today's football.

But he has a fatal flaw, that is, under high pressure, he is easy to pass the ball in a panic, resulting in losing the ball.

This point is often easy to appear in the strong dialogue between Real Madrid and its opponents in the past.

In the Western Super Cup final, Harvey also discovered this.

Under continuous pressure, Rossi had to drop back to a deeper position to help out the ball.

He also has a task, which is to directly find the two wings Vinicius and Rodrygo through long passes.

Since Barcelona chooses a three-central defender system, the defense is easily dispersed by the two wings of Real Madrid. Pogba must play B2B attributes to maintain the balance of offense and defense.

When Rossi catches the ball with his back, Busquets will step forward to intercept it immediately, and will not turn around and pass the ball to him.

At the same time, Pogba will quickly return to defense and cooperate with his teammates to surround Rossi.

Under the tight siege of the two, it was not easy for Rossi to stop the ball, let alone turn around.

Pogba saw that the two of them could not break the ball with their joint efforts, so he directly confronted with his body and knocked Rossi to the ground.

drop!
Foul, Real Madrid front ball.

Harvey spread his hands into a trumpet shape off the court and shouted to Pogba: "Don't foul easily, just keep him from turning around."

As one of the defensive midfielders, Pogba's move up just now was very dangerous and easy to get cards.

Once he gets a card in this position.Then Real Madrid will definitely do their best to attack this loophole.

Pogba nodded unhappily, step by step, and slowly retreated to a defensive position.

Kroos passed the ball directly into the penalty area, and Casemiro took off high to compete for the top, but unfortunately the header missed the post under interference.

Real Madrid finally completed a shot through a set-piece created by Rossi.

It was Barcelona's turn to attack. They used skillful passing and a lot of running, slowly penetrating into the penalty area like Real Madrid.

Messi's threat in the ribs is still Barcelona's most lethal weapon.

Once he gets the ball, Real Madrid must have at least two defensive players to intercept.

The addition of Garvey and Pedri has enriched Barcelona's offensive routines in the ribs.

The frontcourt pass team with Messi as the core used non-stop through balls and back runs to make Real Madrid tired of defense.

It has to be said that Harvey's use of Messi is no worse than that of Guardiola.

In the past 10 minutes of the game, Real Madrid has been under pressure, and the fans vaguely recalled the memory of Barcelona being called the "cosmic team" by the world.

Finally defended against Barcelona's offense and defense, and Real Madrid's transition from defense to offense, Rossi's completion is also very good.

But Vinicius, who was in charge of breaking through the defense, fell into siege.

Due to the high pressure of Real Madrid's backcourt, Rossi retreated too deep. When he completed the pass, he was unable to support the striker.

The full-back was also subject to Barcelona's oppression and was unable to advance.

It is equivalent to a situation where Real Madrid's midfield and striker are severely separated.

In the 25th minute, Pedri made continuous fake moves on the ribs, shook off Nacho's defense, and made a pass from the bottom.

Aubameyang, who was surrounded in front of the goal, got in front of Militao and headed the ball into the goal from close range.

Courtois didn't even have an iota of time to react.

[GOALLLLLLLLLL! ! ! 】

[Aubameyang scored a goal! 】

[Real Madrid's left was completely blown away by Pedri! 】

【This pass is wonderful! 】

[The previous point Alaba was attracted by Messi's position! 】

[Aubameyang saw the gap and jumped in, completing the goal! 】

[This is a common offensive routine used by Barcelona recently! 】

[We are still analyzing before the game, Real Madrid must be careful of Barcelona's wing cross! 】

[Look, isn't this coming? 】

After scoring a goal, Aubameyang slid and knelt wantonly at the Bernabeu and pressed his forehead with his index and middle fingers.

This is the classic action of Monkey King's teleportation in Dragon Ball.

Courtois urgently held a "meeting" with the two big brothers of the defense to discuss how to deploy the defense.

But only 10 minutes later, Real Madrid made a marking error in a corner kick defense, and Araujo took off in the middle to compete for the top and scored the ball.

Barcelona once again used a cross from the wing to knock on Real Madrid's goal.

Such an offensive routine, even Real Madrid fans are dizzy!

This is at the Bernabéu!

When was Real Madrid's air supremacy taken away by Barcelona?
