Chapter 1055: Western Super Cup Champion (First update, please subscribe!)

Real Madrid scored two goals in a row, which made Barcelona a little confused.

In 20 minutes, the situation has begun to turn towards Real Madrid, which is not good news for Barcelona.

Ancelotti on the sidelines looked at the court and said slowly: "Barcelona still has not made much tactical changes this season."

Ancelotti has also studied Barcelona's tactical system.

It is to use Messi's vertical dribbling ability to move forward.

But now Neymar's arrival can completely liberate Messi more and let him do more other work.

But these changes have not appeared.

Ancelotti is not sure whether the other coach has no ideas or is hindered by some kind of obstacles.

But no matter from what angle, the current Barcelona, ​​although it has some combat power, it is very difficult to achieve its goals.

Neymar is already a little confused.

He just joined Barcelona and is not particularly adapted to the tactical system. Now Real Madrid has scored two goals, so he naturally feels bad.

He also wants to show some performance and help the team.

But he really doesn't know from what angle to reverse the current situation.

Another problem is that Real Madrid's playing style has changed, and the overall intensity has also changed.

When Neymar played in Brazil, they played against Real Madrid in the Club World Cup.

It was not so difficult to play against Real Madrid at that time.

Although there was also the factor that Real Madrid did not fully exert its full strength, such a decisive and swift offensive rhythm also made him a little difficult to deal with.

The rhythm of Europe is fast!

And the playing style of La Liga is the best among them.

When the offense and defense changed, Neymar just turned back, and Real Madrid had already sent the ball to their own half.

"Don't worry!"

Messi came over to comfort Neymar.

He could see the loss and confusion on Neymar's face, which was something he would definitely experience when facing Real Madrid.

Messi was also helpless about this.

There was no way, the fact was that they had been suppressed by Real Madrid all these years.

No matter how to refute, this is the fact!

In the new season, Real Madrid quickly formed combat effectiveness after Ancelotti moved in.

And unlike the Mourinho period, this Real Madrid is more oppressive on the offensive end.

Of course, there are problems.

Messi turned his head and looked at Casemiro.

Real Madrid began to use a single defensive midfielder this season.

Although Casemiro is a defensive defensive midfielder, how long can he last when facing his breakthrough?

And not just himself

Messi patted Neymar's shoulder: "You move closer to the middle, and I will pass the ball to you when there is a chance."

Neymar nodded.

He doesn't know how to play football now, and he really needs someone to help him adapt to the rhythm of the game.

At the other end of the court, the Real Madrid players have retreated.

After two goals, they became relatively relaxed as a whole, and they were more happy in their hearts.

Of course, there is no way to talk about how excited they are.

After all, the Spanish Super Cup is just a warm-up match under the name of the Spanish Football Association.

And it will become a commercial exhibition match starting next season.

From any perspective, the gold content of this trophy is not high, and the psychological significance is greater than the practical significance.

But when the opponent is Barcelona, ​​defeating the opponent and winning the trophy will also give them a better psychological expectation in the new season.

"Hold on! The next step is a test for you."

Kaka patted Casemiro on the shoulder.

Real Madrid's single defensive midfielder, this is the first time in nearly ten years that this formation has been deployed.

From this, we can also feel the expectations for Casemiro.

However, expectations must carry pressure.

For Casemiro, he has to survive this level.

Mourinho has helped him lay a good foundation, and Ancelotti has valued him very much.

It can be said that Casemiro's adaptation process in Real Madrid is smooth sailing.

However, he also needs to show corresponding performance so as not to disappoint those who have expectations of him.

"I know!" Casemiro nodded vigorously.

Kaka: "I will help you appropriately, but in many cases you still need to make your own judgment."

Casemiro nodded again.

Kaka smiled and patted Casemiro on the shoulder.

Kaka is looking forward to Casemiro's growth.

This expectation is not limited to the club, but also to the national team.

In this Spanish national derby, both sides have 5 Brazilian players starting.

Alves and Neymar from Barcelona.

Kaka, Casemiro, Marcelo from Real Madrid.

These are all Brazilian players.

Among them, Casemiro and Neymar are also highly expected, especially the latter.

As the captain of the Brazilian national team, Kaka is very happy to see this change.

The 2014 World Cup is a World Cup held in Brazil, a game at home. It may also be Kaka's last World Cup.

Therefore, both Kaka and the Brazilian team need to show enough fighting power, and it is best to win the championship at home and add another star to the Brazilian jersey.

Of course, they have many strong enemies.

Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Croatia, etc.

These are all strong opponents. If they want to defeat these strong enemies, they need more outstanding players and more experience.

Beep!

The whistle sounded and the game started again.

After kicking off again, Barcelona really began to move towards the central axis.

Suker and other Real Madrid players also saw this scene.

But they did not leave their positions to assist in defense.

If it was a league or Champions League, they might go to help.

But this is a "warm-up match" after all, so its training significance is greater than victory.

Casemiro stared at the front, and Kroos and Kaka were also helping him at both ends of his side.

But this help is limited.

He is a defensive midfielder and a single midfielder.

He must show some performance to be able to take on this position.

"Are you actively exposing this gap to Barcelona?" Zidane looked at Barcelona's offensive changes and asked Ancelotti.

Ancelotti also nodded and said without hiding: "That's right! I showed them that Casemiro needs training and some pressure."

"You can let Kaka and Kroos on both sides shrink inward, which can help more."

Zidane said.

But Ancelotti shook his head and said: "No need, you have to know that we are going to play a single defensive midfielder this season. Whether it is Kroos or Kaka, they are offensive players in terms of their duties. In order to cooperate with the changes in the striker, they will even leave their positions frequently."

"I gave Casemiro the corresponding tactical resources, so he must show the corresponding performance. I won't say that defense is his job alone, but at least he must know how to mobilize his teammates and successfully defend."

"But his ability to read the game is not very good!"

"It doesn't matter." Ancelotti smiled; "It is Srna who directs the defense!"

Zidane was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

In the stadium, Casemiro was approaching Messi little by little. The closer he got, the greater the pressure.

This pressure was almost the same as the pressure Suker brought him.

In terms of dribbling, Messi and Suker are almost at the same level, and they are also feared by many defensive players.

Casemiro can't make Messi completely lose his voice.

At least, he hasn't grown to this stage yet.

But at least he should be given enough interference.

"There's someone on the left, stand still, don't get close!"

Srna's voice came from behind Casemiro, and this voice told him that Srna was not far away from him, which made Casemiro feel a little relieved.

Messi opened his body sideways, with his left foot back, protecting the ball.

Messi's feet are very flexible and the frequency is very fast, which requires Casemiro to concentrate and make good judgments for every move.

The frequency of his feet is not at the same level as Messi's.

He knows that once he loses one step, it will be impossible to catch up.

Messi is also constantly testing Casemiro.

But no matter how he tests, Casemiro can always block his breakthrough direction.

"So annoying!"

Messi is a little irritated, but he still decides to pass.

Suddenly, Messi twisted his waist and turned around, stepping to the side.

Casemiro followed him one step, and Messi immediately pulled back.

Casemiro pushed back with his feet.

He actually caught up!

Messi stopped again, this time with a frown.

He did not shake off Casemiro.

At this moment, not far from the side, Messi saw someone advancing.

Messi immediately passed the ball.

"Messi passed the ball, Neymar advanced"

After a pause, Gonzalez suddenly shouted: "Pepe!"

Just when Neymar was about to touch the ball, Pepe slid in fiercely.

Neymar jumped up immediately in fear, and Pepe shoveled the ball out.

After Pepe shoveled the ball, he suddenly stood up and clenched his fist and roared.

Neymar on the side grinned.

Pepe suddenly turned his head and glared at Neymar fiercely.

What are you looking at?

Neymar turned his head silently, not daring to look at Pepe again.

He dared not mess with this famous butcher in La Liga.

"Well done!"

Pepe slapped Casemiro's shoulder hard.

Just now, Casemiro stuck to Messi, and with the continuous follow-up, Messi almost missed the opportunity to advance and had to pass the ball.

And Pepe accurately seized this opportunity and completely stole the ball.

For Casemiro, his task is just to entangle Messi.

They don't expect Casemiro to defend Messi alone, after all, the difficulty coefficient is too high.

Therefore, for now, Casemiro's performance is still very good.

"Very calm!"

Ancelotti also nodded with satisfaction.

After Messi's several fake moves, Casemiro did not eat the shake, and the continuous change of direction failed to shake off Casemiro.

In the end, Messi was forced to pass the ball.

At this point, Casemiro has completed his task very well.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and it depends on whether he can continue to withstand the pressure.

As time went by, Barcelona's attack still had little effect.

They even changed their thinking and let Neymar break through on the left wing.

Neymar did a good job, but the connection of the last pass was not so tacit, and Real Madrid always broke it in advance.

From this, we can see that Barcelona's running-in is not very good.

"The first half is about to end, and Real Madrid is still two goals ahead. Although Barcelona has launched several attacks, it has little effect!"

"In this game, in addition to the cooperation of the striker, Real Madrid's midfield performance is also very good and extremely stable."

"And compared to the disorderly attack last season, Real Madrid is now more agile and more orderly on the offensive end."

Gonzalez nodded in admiration.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands also sent waves of cheers.

They like the current Real Madrid.

It is not the passive counterattack of Mourinho, but actively moving forward to find opportunities.

In this case, the viewing of the game will become more sufficient.

At the same time, Real Madrid can play indirect and effective counterattacks, and can also play complex small-scale continuous passes.

Soon, the first half of the game ended.

The score remained unchanged, and Real Madrid led Barcelona 2:0.

"Very good, you completed the tactical task excellently in the first half"

In the locker room, Ancelotti praised the players' performance, which made everyone smile happily.

But he quickly entered the tactical arrangement for the second half, and the players listened carefully.

Compared to the slightly relaxed atmosphere of Real Madrid, Barcelona was very heavy.

Falling behind again!

According to past experience, after falling behind, they had almost no chance of winning.

Facing other teams, Barcelona was the one who dominated the game.

Only when facing Real Madrid, they would become extremely passive.

And for four years, after being dominated across three seasons, they had a little fear of Real Madrid in their hearts.

After losing too much, fear naturally appeared!

Now, even Messi doesn't know how to turn the situation around, let alone newcomers like Rakitic and Neymar.

"Xavi! It's up to you in the second half!"

At the instruction of the head coach, Xavi tidied his jersey and ran out to warm up.

Villanova really had no choice.

Ancelotti's tactical diversity is a feature at the head coach level. Although he also wants to make some changes, he is really unable to do so.

He did see the changes in Real Madrid, but he couldn't find a direction to counter it.

Now, he can only rely on the personal abilities of powerful players such as Messi, Xavi and Neymar, hoping to open up the situation.

The halftime break is over.

The players from both sides returned to the court.

"Barcelona has made some substitutions, Xavi came on the bench to replace Rakitic as the organizer of the midfield!"

At this point, Gonzalez couldn't help but sigh.

He thinks Vilanova is not firm enough, and this is the time to trust young players more.

Of course, Xavi's ability is worthy of recognition, but after all, he is old, and always letting these old guys to support the bottom is not conducive to the normal development of a team.

As for the direction of Real Madrid, there was no change when they were leading.

However, Ancelotti asked Carvajal, Di Maria and other players to start warming up.

But the warm-up was one group after another, and it was impossible to determine which player Ancelotti would replace, and thus it was impossible to judge the specific lineup changes of Real Madrid.

In the stadium, with the whistle, the second half of the game started.

As soon as Barcelona kicked off, they immediately launched an attack along the wing.

Real Madrid also responded quickly. They let the wingers advance and concentrated their numbers to start the defense line.

Barcelona's cross was not threatening.

Messi, Neymar or Pedro, these are not tall and strong center forward attributes.

Therefore, even if Barcelona kicks off, Real Madrid's central defender can intercept and destroy.

The most important thing to pay attention to is Barcelona's cut-in.

But on the two sides, under the cooperation between the full-back and the central defender, Barcelona does not have a good cut-in channel.

They also plan to break through through their personal ability.

But Real Madrid is not used to these, Neymar has been knocked down many times by Pepe.

"Hiss~~~~"

Gonzalez couldn't help but take a breath when he saw Neymar being tackled by Pepe with the ball.

Since the second half, it was unknown how many times Pepe had knocked Neymar down.

After his repeated violations, he finally received a yellow card.

Pepe didn't care about this, his goal had been achieved.

Now Neymar's eyes looking at Pepe, in addition to fear, are more of a fear.

Let the striker be afraid of himself!

This is also what the defender must do.

Barcelona was very dissatisfied with Pepe's behavior, but no matter how they protested, the referee insisted that the previous tackles were not fouls, and they could do nothing about it.

Kaka looked a little distressed.

No matter from which angle, Neymar is the hope of Brazil's future.

He naturally didn't want Neymar to be injured.

But now they are in different camps and serve different masters, and he can't say anything to make Pepe restrain himself.

However, based on this aggressive foul, Barcelona seized this opportunity.

Messi kicked a set-piece near the penalty area line and hit the dead corner.

In the 77th minute, Barcelona finally scored a goal.

But just five minutes after this goal, in the 82nd minute, Real Madrid had a corner kick opportunity. Suker suddenly jumped up, competed for the top in the crowd, and headed for the goal.

Real Madrid scored again and opened the score.

The appearance of this goal completely killed the suspense of the game.

Especially for Barcelona, ​​with this goal, they lost their momentum and their spirits were also mostly deflated.

In the next game, Real Madrid and Barcelona directly used all the substitutions.

The game also changed from a more intense game to a warm-up game mode.

Beep beep!

The full-time whistle sounded.

The game is over!

In the Spanish Super Cup final, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3:1 and won the first championship trophy at the beginning of the season.

And this championship trophy also made a good start for them.

At the same time, this is also Ancelotti's first championship trophy since coaching Real Madrid.
