Chapter 582 Creating a Classic
In the past 100 years, the passionate collision between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two world's top giants, known as the Spanish Century War or the National Derby by later generations, once took place at the Bernabéu (officially renamed in 1955, previously known as the Castellana Stadium) , also known as Xincha Martin) has staged countless classic scenes, and it is still a beautiful memory that both parties, especially the Meilingers, have cherished in their hearts and will take it out from time to time for aftertaste.

在这座世界最为现代化且豪华的顶级足球场中，银河战舰曾经在1949-50赛季的西甲联赛中以6比1的比分胖揍了他们的头号死敌，之后也多次打出过5比0、5比1以及4比0这样的大胜，这给皇马球迷们带来过无限的欢乐。

(PS: Many readers should know that the biggest difference in the previous national derby is 11 to 1, which was completed in the 1943 Copa del Rey semi-final after Real Madrid lost 0 to 3 in the away game in the first leg. Shuojin’s super revenge. But the venue at that time was the old Chamartin Stadium with a maximum capacity of only 15000 people, not the Bernabéu used now.)
Of course, glory is always accompanied by pain. In the 1973-74 La Liga, Real Madrid was beaten 0-5 by Barcelona at their own gate.The eighth final result of the league that year was also the third-worst ranking of the Galaxy Battleship since the establishment of La Liga. It also created the record for the most losses in history. It was an extremely dark era.

And the most impressive loss to modern fans is probably the 2008-09 game in the 2-6 season. Guardiola announced the official establishment of the Dream Team with such a rout. To a certain extent, it indirectly contributed to the achievement of Mourinho's entry into the Bernabeu.

In addition, the Meilingers should still remember the 2015-16 season when Real Madrid lost four goals at home to their rivals. Benitez was fired because of this tragic loss (directly in the book) After get out of class, in reality, he persisted for another month and a half, but after he led the team with 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, he was dismissed miserably. Zidane came and created a golden age comparable to a dream.It's just that this dream woke up a little early, and the process and consequences were so cruel, which made people feel quite helpless.

The above-mentioned so many examples are mentioned in one breath, just to show that although Real Madrid has repeatedly pressed Barcelona on the ground and rubbed hard at their home court, they have been beaten by them many times, 3 to 1 When the score is about 10 minutes left in the game, it is indeed not safe.Didn’t you see that at the last moment of stoppage time, the club king dribbled the ball all the way from the midfield to the penalty area, scored an equalizer goal, and successfully prevented Real Madrid from announcing their plan to win the championship in advance at home. Now the gap between the two goals is still You shouldn't be too confident.

However, Li Mudi was very confident that he had won the match, and naturally he had his reasons.

First, the ability of this Real Madrid team in counterattack tactics can almost be regarded as the highest level in team history. Has the comprehensive ability of Mbappe and Rodrigo caught up with the "two players" of Ronaldo and Bell? "Billions take off" is still to be discussed, but in terms of speed alone, they are already almost the same as their predecessors.In addition, several midfielders such as Ceballos, Febas and Marcos Llorente in the team now have excellent and precise long pass skills, allowing the two fast horses in the frontcourt to gallop wantonly , It is definitely a nightmare for the opposing defenders.

Second, the defensive ability of the new Galaxy Battleship is also at the relatively best stage in the past ten years. Compared with the balance of other positions, at least the assist consciousness of the two full-backs is not as strong as that of Marcelo and Carvajal before. , the stealing and marking skills should be stronger, and the tragedy of being completely blown up by the opponent will not easily occur.

The last and most critical thing is that Barcelona's overall strength has declined to a certain extent from when the old generation of superstars such as the club king were still there.Although Harvey's team still has the level of the world's top giants, the control ability of the midfield is not comparable to that of the predecessors, which leads to the further amplification of the weakness of the lack of interception ability in this area, so that Mbappé can Going directly to attack the team's defense line poses a great threat.

So when the score came to 3 to 1, the Real Madrid coach was completely relieved of winning this crucial battle, and the rest depends on whether his disciples can catch the opponent's eagerness to suppress the flaw Further widen the gap.

As long as he can maintain a stable mentality, he believes that his team will have a chance to score the fourth or even the fifth goal. Then the bold words made before the game that made Barcelona cry and leave the Bernabeu will really come true. I feel so excited just thinking about it.

However, the script can be yelled at will, but some surprising things always happen in reality. No, when Li Mudi was already looking forward to how to mock a wave of sworn enemies in style at the post-match press conference, what happened on the court? Suddenly, a major change occurred.

No. 706 minutes, an attack by Barcelona ended in a missed shot. After the home team kicked the goal kick, they did not rush to launch an offensive, but patiently kicked around the midfield, so as to recover from the exhaustion of being besieged in the previous few minutes. Great stamina.

When the ball was transferred to the right, Mbappe, who retreated to catch the ball, ushered in the press of Barcelona left-back Marc Cuculera, who had been facing him for the whole game. The Frenchman used a "fried ball" He easily avoided the opponent, but because of Coutinho's interception, he did not take advantage of the situation to drive the ball forward, but continued to control the ball to prepare his teammates to run to the open space and then pass it.

But just when Fabas moved horizontally to find a good position to respond, Cuculera, who had been passed just now, turned around and tried to steal the Real Madrid star again.As a result, Mbappe, who seemed to be possessed by a demon, unexpectedly used the "fried meatball" stunt again, and connected a crotch piercer. While completely humiliating the opponent, he also attracted the fans of the home team cheers and applause.

However, he underestimated or completely ignored the grievances that the Barcelona defender had accumulated for a long time. After feeling the infinite humiliation, Cuculera could no longer control his emotions and pushed him hard behind him. A Real Madrid winger brought him to the ground.

If this incident stays here, the result is not too serious, but Mbappé, who is about to be 26 years old but still seems to be mentally immature, jumped up from the ground with an angry face and turned around. He wrestled with Cuculera, who had fouled him.

Of course, saying it was a scuffle is just a subjective description, because Fabas and Coutinho, who were very close to the two, rushed to the scene to stop and persuade them. In fact, the two sides in the conflict just pushed each other twice. And communicated inappropriately for children in words, and no worse consequences were produced.

But then the referee Manzano who arrived at the scene didn't think so. He had a face as if hundreds of thousands of euros had been stolen. He took out the red gem card, raised it above his head twice in a row, and sent Mbappé and Cuculera off the field together.

This result was obviously difficult for Real Madrid to accept. Li Mudi rushed to the fourth official to "ask" the latter which football rule was used. Unfortunately, he just took the opportunity to vent his emotions, because the opponent He will not give him a reasonable answer.

As for Harvey, who is also missing a major player, his mood can only be regarded as mixed.The good news is that the exchange of these two players is very powerful for the Barcelona side. Although Cuculera can be said to be indispensable at the left back position, there is still a substitute after all, Concalo Kos Although the tower's ability is slightly worse than the former, but he is also a marginal international in Portugal, and can still make a lot of contribution to the team's left defense.

What worries the Barcelona coach is that Cuculera had received a yellow card before, which happened to accumulate the number that required a one-match suspension in the league, but after being sent off by a red card, additional penalties are very likely It will be more severe, which is really not good news for the team that will face Atletico Madrid after three rounds.

But at least starting from today's game, this penalty is relatively favorable for the visiting team. At least it has greatly weakened Real Madrid's strength in counterattacks, allowing the team to obtain greater investment in their next plan to equalize the score.

However, Li Mudi obviously didn't intend to give his opponent more breathing room, so he immediately used his hole cards and put Couch and Peperu on the field together.The former appeared in the front midfielder after replacing Ceballos, and together with Oyar Sabal acted as the support point behind Rodrigo, keeping the frontcourt sufficiently threatening; the latter was the counterpoint After replacing the goal hero Marcos Llorente, after losing the speed advantage on the wing, the tactic of launching a counterattack with a long pass from the backcourt has lost most of its meaning. At this time, a new midfielder with better physical condition is brought in. , Obviously to strengthen the protection of the back line.

However, the protective measures of the Real Madrid coach did not achieve his goal in essence, because just 3 minutes after the substitution, Varane was injured, and he was still unable to continue the game, which made Li Mudi quite upset. Feel helpless.

Of course, Peperu was more helpless than him, because he said to his boss, "You asked me to play to protect the defenders, but what I understand is to prevent them from directly facing the impact of Barcelona players, not to protect them." They are not injured!" And the most important thing is that the home team has no substitutions, so they had to move this newly substituted midfielder to the position of central defender to work part-time.Fortunately, Peperu's height is sufficient, and he also trained as a defender for several years when he was young, so this did not cause any bigger problems.

Fortunately, Real Madrid did not suffer from the unfavorable situation of playing less and more because of the captain's end, because the reason why Varane retired from the game was due to the anti-grabbing foul of the opposing striker Ruiz, who also Because of this restless behavior, he got his second yellow card in this game, and became the fifth player of both sides to fail to finish the game in a normal capacity (two injury numbers and three people were sent off) .

Since then, this highly anticipated national derby has turned into a nine-on-nine situation. It is estimated that few people would have predicted this situation before the game.

What's more interesting is that Barcelona, ​​which also has no substitutions, has to rely on the existing players on the field to support it. Although Malcolm's technical characteristics are actually not suitable for being at the forefront of the team, But there is no better choice than him, and Harvey can only break the can.

Just judging from the actual effect on the field, the offensive threat of the visiting team has dropped significantly, and almost everyone can analyze that they are no longer able to recover the point difference.

The fact is also true, after losing the striker who can serve as a support point in the penalty area, Barcelona players can only seek to use more personal breakthroughs and peripheral long-range shots to attack Real Madrid's goal, but they can hardly account for the opponent's complete defense. Seeing any advantage, the home team found opportunities one after another to fight back.

When Couch used a personal breakthrough to help the team win a penalty in the No.806 minute, and he himself made the penalty, the entire Bernabéu stadium has fallen into a carnival, because Mbappe was sent off before The protest boos that broke out when Varane was kicked and injured have long been replaced by singing after the victory is confirmed.

Before the end of the game, Antonio Pulitz, a commentator on Spanish national television, made a proper end to this derby full of twists and turns. The 67-year-old man used his all-Spanish fans to The extremely familiar voice commented:
"Congratulations to Real Madrid. They have been at a disadvantage in the previous direct dialogue, but today they regained the lost face in one fell swoop. And Barcelona, ​​​​who lost the ball, don't be too discouraged. After all, the league has just started one third of the way. A four-point gap in the standings is not an insurmountable gap, and Harvey and his disciples still have time to catch up.

As for today's game, although it is difficult to call it a high level from a technical point of view, it contains all the elements that should be in a big game, such as world waves, red cards, and unpleasant injuries. The points are still very sufficient, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an alternative classic.I believe that just like the 3-0 match at Camp Nou last year, everyone will still remember today's Bernabeu battle, which also makes us look forward to the second confrontation between the two sides in April next year.

Of course, now I still hope to hear what the two coaches, especially Coach Li, will say at the press conference after the game. I believe it will be very interesting. "
