Chapter 1007: Change of formation (First update, please subscribe!)

Barcelona mainly controlled the ball and kept shifting to both sides, but lacked some ability to move forward.

Messi often needed to retreat to receive the ball, then turn around and move forward.

But in this case, Real Madrid could also respond.

Iniesta also broke through, but he didn't dare to move too far forward, which led to Real Madrid's counterattack.

As for Xavi.

Xavi's state has indeed declined a lot. He tried to pass the ball twice, but both were intercepted.

The second pass was obviously forced, and it was a gamble on luck.

And this pass was almost counterattacked by Real Madrid. If Barcelona hadn't deliberately fouled, it would have been dangerous.

After this attempt, Xavi no longer passed the ball too much forward, but mainly controlled.

Xavi began to control the rhythm, and Barcelona's overall passing and control rhythm became sluggish.

Suker also looked at the opponent's half, constantly shifting horizontally, but did not move forward.

This ineffective pass!

Although Guardiola also pays attention to control, he emphasizes advancement more!

But it is obvious that his assistant did not learn the essence. He controlled the ball, but did not push it forward enough.

But Real Madrid was also enjoying the leisure time.

After all, their tactics in the first half were mainly defensive, and they would exert more strength in the second half.

It can be said that based on Suker's goal, Real Madrid equalized the score, which has exceeded the task.

The next step is to wait for the second half of the game.

The game became dull, but the fans still dared not relax. After all, both teams are good at playing rhythm, and they might suddenly change the rhythm.

But until the game entered the halftime break, this change of rhythm did not appear.

In the first half, the two sides tied 1:1!

"We didn't advance forward enough!"

In the locker room of Barcelona, ​​Fabregas said anxiously; "I asked for the ball several times, but you didn't pass it!"

Iniesta; "Your position was watched, otherwise we would pass the ball!"

"But this is also an opportunity! You can trust me to pass him or create opportunities!" Fabregas said dissatisfiedly: "If you keep moving left and right like this, this is a slow death!"

"Are you questioning my rhythm?" Xavi asked.

Fabregas cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only say; "I'm not questioning you, I just hope that we can increase the forward advancement. We can't play like this!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

How to advance?

No matter how you think about it, there is only one choice!

That is to replace Xavi and let Fabregas be the core of the midfield.

It's not that Xavi is not good!

But the state is really not very good, and the success rate of forward pass is also low.

Relying on the breakthroughs of Messi and Iniesta alone, it is impossible to completely tear open the defense of Real Madrid.

But Xavi is the captain after all!

And so far, he is still the core of the team!

Fabregas's words are tantamount to telling others to get rid of Xavi.

Xavi's expression is also a little dull.

He can't say that he likes Fabregas, nor can he say that he doesn't like him.

It's just that he hates him now.

Xavi admitted that his condition is not as good as before, but at least he can still maintain it.

Moreover, the club also intends to let Fabregas inherit Xavi's position.

But. Why are you in such a hurry?

I can give you the core!

But you can't grab it!

"Okay, don't argue, what Cesc said is also fine, let's discuss it!"

Puyol spoke, and the big brother's words were still useful, and everyone quieted down.

However, this time no one continued to speak.

Obviously, Xavi was unhappy, and he didn't agree with Fabregas, but he sold Puyol's face, so he didn't argue.

Xavi didn't speak, and Iniesta and others naturally stopped paying attention to Fabregas.

Fabregas continued to express his views, but no one had a reason.

On the other side, in the locker room of Real Madrid, Mourinho was also arranging tactics.

There were many problems in the first half, such as the goal loss.

But Mourinho did not criticize now, which would only reduce the momentum. Even if he was giving a lecture, he would give a lecture and summary after the game.

"I hope our running can be more active. I won't name any names, but I hope that individual players understand that this is a game about the honor of the whole team, not a show for one person!"

Benzema's expression was a little ugly.

He knew that Mourinho was pointing at himself.

In the first half, he had several unreasonable touches.

Maybe he passed the ball too many times, and his ambition was also inflated, and he wanted to stick to the ball.

But he didn't stick to much, at most five times, but he was still criticized by Mourinho.

After all, in Mourinho's concept, the most important thing for a pivot center like Benzema is to pass the ball as soon as possible.

Rather than showing off his own skills.

Of course, Benzema did not lose the ball.

But because of his sticky ball, the attacking timing was delayed, which was a major problem. Mourinho planned to talk to Benzema after the game.

After a simple warning, Mourinho emphasized some tactics again.

At the same time, he also asked the players who were about to come on as substitutes in the second half to warm up.

After the preparations were completed, the players from both sides returned to the court again.

"The second half of the game is about to begin. After the first half, the two sides are currently tied at 1:1. Messi and Suker each scored a goal."

"Judging from the situation in the first half, Barcelona had more time to possess the ball, but Real Madrid's counterattack was sharper, but there is also a problem, that is, the defense is not stable enough!"

"As for Barcelona, ​​they also need to increase their push and the number of forward runs."

"To sum up, both sides have some problems. It just depends on which side can adjust better during the halftime break!"

said narrator Gonzalez.

During the game, players from both sides exchanged positions and prepared to start the game.

The stands were still roaring with cheers, and under the camera, the expressions of the players on both sides were extremely heavy.

In the new season of El Clasico, the two teams still showed a stalemate.

Messi's expression was extremely heavy.

For three seasons, he was suppressed by Suker for three consecutive seasons.

Last season, Messi felt that his condition had reached its peak, but Suker showed even more terrifying efficiency than him.

Although Messi has more assists than Suker, Suker is still ahead in terms of goals.

This is even more true in terms of honor!

Since Suker joined Real Madrid, Barcelona has been almost insulated from honors.

In three seasons, they only won one King's Cup!

Based on this poor performance, Guardiola even took responsibility and resigned.

It is no exaggeration to say that Guardiola was forced to leave by Suker and Real Madrid.

The club needs someone to take the blame for the poor results.

And this person can only be Guardiola!

Messi thinks he is in good condition, but he still doesn't understand how good Suker's condition is?

In other words, this guy has always been at his peak?

Messi shook his head to get rid of the chaotic thoughts.

The most critical thing at this stage is the competition!

"Aren't these two guys in great shape?"

Germany, Bayern Munich's tactical room.

Watching the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Mandzukic spoke with emotion.

He knew Suki's state very well, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

But Barcelona’s Messi is also in great form!

When I think about losing to such a guy and such a team last season, even though I am a little reluctant, it is reasonable.

However, this season is different.

They also have a monster in their lineup!

Crosdiano Ronaldo!

In seven rounds of Bundesliga games, 14 goals were scored.

Average two goals per game!

Two rounds of the Champions League, five goals!

The state is extremely hot.

In just two months, this guy has completely conquered the critical fans of Bayern Munich.

Even Robben and Ribery were somewhat convinced and were willing to pass the ball to Ronaldo.

no way!

Looking at such a terrifying statistic, they must admit that this guy is simply a scoring machine.

"What do you think?" Ram looked at Ronaldo and asked.

The three current superstars in football are Suker, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi!

These three are almost in a transcendent position, a level above other stars.

Of course, if you want to be more serious, then Su Ke is at a higher level than the remaining two.

Suker currently has four Golden Globe Awards!

Messi a Ballon d'Or!

Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet won the Ballon d'Or, but his abilities are recognized throughout Europe. He is the well-deserved 'uncrowned king'.

The ‘crown’ here is not the championship, but the Golden Globe Award!

Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Bayern Munich in order to compete for the Ballon d'Or.

Bayern also made a guarantee that as long as the results are sufficient, they will do their best to help Ronaldo win the Ballon d'Or.

"Messi focuses more on technology. Of course, his finishing ability is also very strong, but his mental will is slightly weak!" Ronaldo paused: "If it were Messi, pressure would make him feel frustrated, frustrated, etc. You can use this to oppress him and defeat him!"

Ram nodded; "Where's Suk?"

Cristiano Ronaldo pursed his lips and took a deep breath; "Suker is too comprehensive, and so is the mental aspect! Pressure will make Messi frustrated, but pressure will make Suker explode!"

"Of course, football is not a one-person sport, and one person's influence is limited. Suker is troublesome, but Real Madrid also has some loopholes in other positions! We can use these things. At least, if it is Real Madrid at this stage, we can defeat them!"

Listening to Ronaldo's words, a smile appeared on Ram's face.

He turned to look at the TV, his eyes bright!

Beat Real Madrid first, then look for AC Milan!

After a pause, Ram shook his head.

He had to change the order and beat AC Milan first. He was afraid that AC Milan would not be able to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

At Camp Nou, Barcelona fans screamed in surprise.

Suk is changing direction continuously along the central axis.

Busquets is in front of Suker.

Suker dialed the ball and Busquets turned to the right.

Suker spiked the ball and Busquets quickly turned to the left.

The continuous changes in the direction of the ball and smashes made Busquets almost stunned.

Suddenly, Suk made an emergency stop.

Busquets immediately turned around to face Suker, and at this moment, Suker started again.

Busquets wanted to pursue again, but his body weight had not yet shifted, so he could only fall backwards and fall hard.

"Oh~~~~Busquets was passed again!"

Gonzalez grinned. He felt that Busquets was like a telephone pole every time he faced Suker. He was usually a world-class defensive midfielder.

Even in the position of a single defensive midfielder, he was very stable.

But once he faced Suker, he was directly at a loss!

Look at this terrible performance!

The Barcelona fans in the stands couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hurry up and change him!"

"What is he doing? Is he a clown?"

"He was almost knocked out by Suker!"

"It didn't work at all, why not change him?"

On the sidelines, Barcelona's head coach Vilanova was also standing on the sidelines, his eyes full of panic.

Watching Suker approaching the penalty area step by step, his heart beat faster.

"Block!"

Vilanova suddenly yelled.

Mascherano in the field also rushed up immediately.

At the same time, Suker suddenly rubbed his feet.

The ball passed over Mascherano's head and fell behind him.

And there, Benzema ran diagonally, facing the falling ball, and jumped up lightly. He actually pressed the ball with his heel and stepped on the position behind him to make a perfect pass.

The ball rolled to the penalty spot.

Two central defenders, one was pulled away by Benzema, and the other turned to look at Benzema.

At the same time, Suker had already run diagonally to the penalty spot and shot the ball accurately.

Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés made a desperate save. He successfully judged the direction of the ball, but Suker's shot was too tricky and the ball was very fast.

The ball went through Valdés' hands and flew into the goal.

Swish!

The ball entered the net and the net trembled.

Suker turned a corner and ran to the corner area.

He stood still with his feet and pointed to the stands.

There was silence in the stands!

The Barcelona fans who had been shouting and booing before were stunned and frustrated.

There was a brief silence at Camp Nou, just like a library!

Soon, with the cheers of Real Madrid away fans, the stadium gradually regained a bit of vitality.

"Perfect cooperation! Suker scored the second goal!"

"Great shot, great pass!"

"Karim Benzema stepped on the ball with his heel and passed it to Suker. The continuous pass completely disrupted Barcelona's defense, and Suker's shot was always so accurate!"

"After a short lag, Real Madrid scored again and led Barcelona 2:1 away!"

Gonzalez continued; "Barcelona is getting nervous. If they don't respond, this may be another defeat!"

At the same time, Vilanova on the sidelines made adjustments.

Alexander Song stood on the sidelines ready to play.

Fabregas took a simple look and found that substitutions were necessary. After all, Busquets had been kicked by Suker and his head was dizzy.

If the defense could not be guaranteed, Barcelona would not have a chance to attack.

Suddenly, Fabregas was stunned.

He saw that the number that was replaced was 4!

It was Fabregas's number!

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Fabregas was furious.

What a bullshit substitution!

He obviously performed better than others.

Where is Xavi?

Iniesta?

Why did he replace himself? To put it bluntly, they still didn't trust themselves enough.

At the critical moment, these guys still trusted Xavi and Iniesta more.

Alexander Song also stood on the sidelines awkwardly.

He saw Fabregas coming angrily, but he didn't pay attention to him, but just passed by and yelled at the head coach:

"You will pay the price for this substitution!"

Fabregas yelled at Vilanova, and then kicked the player next to him.

The assistant coach hurried over to comfort him.

Vilanova looked at him coldly, and then turned his head to look at the court.

This scene was also captured by the camera.

"Fabregas was very angry. He thought he shouldn't be substituted. But I was also a little surprised. Fabregas played really well. Why not try to let Xavi switch positions with him? Maybe it can be effective?"

But it's too late to say anything now.

Barcelona has completed the substitution.

Iniesta stood forward at the left forward position.

Xavi played as a central midfielder.

And Barcelona played with two defensive midfielders for the first time.

Busquets + Alexander Song!

Suker also saw the change of Barcelona and couldn't help but sigh.

He forced Barcelona to some point.

Barcelona has always been a single defensive midfielder. On the one hand, Busquets' outstanding performance and ability support, he can accurately send the ball to Xavi, Iniesta or Messi's feet in a cumbersome environment.

In this way, Barcelona does not need to waste resources in the defensive midfielder position again, but fills the remaining players into the offensive position.

In the original time and space, Barcelona also played with two defensive midfielders!

But that was a long time in the future, even after the MSN striker combination, until Busquets's condition completely declined, Barcelona was forced to use the double defensive midfielder tactics of Busquets + De Jong.

After Barcelona made adjustments, the position of the midfield and frontcourt completely changed.

Midfielders: Busquets, Xavi, Alexandre Song.

Forwards: Messi, Pedro, Iniesta.

Xavi is in the central midfielder position, so Messi can no longer be the pseudo center forward.

When Messi retreats, his area will overlap with Xavi's, so the formation has changed.

However, this change of formation is obviously something Barcelona has thought about.

Messi and Iniesta are on the two wings, and their sharp breakthroughs continue to threaten.

Pedro waits for opportunities in the middle and can even help the two wingers.

The most important thing is that Xavi's position is forward.

He goes deep into the hinterland and stands in a more dangerous position.

Adding double defensive midfielders can reduce his defensive work.

The most important thing is that Alexandre Song is in charge of the defensive work on the right, just opposite Suker.

At the same time, Busquets is transferred to the other side for assistance.

This change is obviously designed.

Of course, it would be more threatening if Busquets was replaced by Fabregas.

However, in this case, Xavi will give up some ball possession!

But Xavi obviously didn't like it!

Barcelona coach Vilanova didn't do that.
