After the start, Real Madrid almost suppressed Barcelona within halftime.
Even at Camp Nou, it is rare to see such a crazy one-sided scene.
But it showed up tonight.
The most typical example is that in the third minute, Barcelona got a throw-in opportunity in their own half.
This was when Carvajal made a direct pass. Due to interference from Alba, Di Maria failed to stop the ball in time, and then the connection movement was not handled properly, causing the ball to go out of bounds.
Alba quickly threw the ball to Puyol who was pulling to the sideline.
Benzema quickly pressed Puyol, trying to suppress the Barcelona captain on the wing.
Di Maria, Modric and Ronaldo also restrained Barcelona players at the same time, causing Puyol to want to pass the ball, but there was no way to pass it, so he had to pass it back to the goalkeeper.
Pique quickly pulled away, and Puyol and Puyol stood on both sides of the penalty area to receive the ball. However, Ronaldo followed Pique closely, and Benzema quickly pressed towards Valdes from the direction of Puyol.
.
Real Madrid players such as Modric and Toni Kroos also put pressure on Busquets and others at the same time, which immediately made it difficult for Valdes to find an effective route for the ball.
At the critical moment, Fabregas retreated from the front and met just outside the top of the arc in the penalty area, but Xabi Alonso also chased him all the way, making it difficult for Fabregas to turn around and had to return the ball again.
knock.
This kick put Valdes into a passive position.
On the one hand, there is really no line for the ball around. On the other hand, Fabregas hit back very hastily. Benzema is not far away, making Valdes unable to make adjustments and can only follow Fabregas's direction.
Gass knocked back and tried to pass the ball to Puyol in the gap.
But there was a deviation in this pass, and it went a little wide.
And it's leaning in the direction of Real Madrid.
Puyol rushed over quickly to grab it, but Di Maria, who was closer, responded more promptly.
The Argentine winger took the lead and stopped the ball laterally before Puyol, and his whole body suddenly accelerated.
Puyol tried to pull him away, but Di Maria broke free.
After Di Maria dribbled the ball and cut inside laterally, he quickly got rid of Busquets who responded hastily and sent a through pass with his left foot.
The ball was immediately passed diagonally from the right side of the top of the arc to the left area of the penalty spot. Ronaldo, who was originally chasing Pique, suddenly made a diagonal pass. Without anyone defending him, he stopped Di Maria with his left foot.
After passing the ball, he volleyed directly with his right foot.
Valdes was aware of the danger as soon as he passed the ball. He reacted quickly to Ronaldo's shot, but was still beyond his reach.
The football got into Barcelona's goal at an extremely fast speed.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo!!!!!"
"Only four minutes into the game, Real Madrid scored first!"
"One to zero!"
Cristiano Ronaldo excitedly turned to look at Di Maria, waved constantly, and quickly rushed to the sidelines. He turned around with a graceful jump, swiped his hands down, and performed the iconic Eiffel Tower celebration.
Di Maria and Real Madrid players all chased after him and surrounded him.
"Real Madrid's pressing and pressing after the opening was too intense."
"Barcelona are completely unsuited to this tactic and cannot keep up with Real Madrid's pace."
"This is the second shot of the game, both from Real Madrid, and they scored a goal."
"From the slow-motion replay, we can see that the Barcelona players' handling of this goal was very problematic."
"Especially Fabregas's return pass, it was like putting Valdes on the fire."
"In the end, Valdez's pass assisted Di Maria's assist."
The whole Camp Nou stadium was filled with boos, and everyone was very dissatisfied with the goal conceded at the beginning.
But this is no longer helpful.
…
Snap!
After seeing Ronaldo's goal, Gao Shen vigorously applauded the players for their wonderful performance, but at the same time he also signaled to the players that they must pay attention to their mentality and not be anxious.
"Luca, Xavi, Tony."
Gao Shen shouted loudly to Real Madrid's three midfielders, telling them to press forward and continue to keep the pressure on Barcelona.
How long has it been since it started?
According to Real Madrid's plan before the game, they had to force him for at least ten minutes and disrupt Barcelona's game rhythm.
It's better now. Although we have a one-goal lead, it's still not enough. We still need to score one more goal if we have a chance.
After Barcelona started to gain a foothold and control the rhythm, Real Madrid switched to a defensive counterattack.
The three Real Madrid midfielders also heard the coach's shout and raised their hands to indicate that they understood.
Gao Shen then turned around and walked towards the visiting team's coaching bench.
When walking back, he specifically turned to look at the home team's coaching bench and found that Martino was also nervously calling on the players to press out and not let Real Madrid form such a pressure near the penalty area.
This is very fatal.
They were all forced into the restricted area, and if they were not careful, they would be cut off in minutes.
But under Real Madrid's high-intensity pressing, it was difficult for Barcelona to find an effective way, and they could only transfer the ball through continuous passes.
Occasionally, a long pass comes, but Neymar and Messi in front do not have the advantage in catching the high ball. Even if they barely catch it, it is difficult to pose a threat. Carvajal and Marcelo are focusing on guarding Barcelona's two big players.
Superstar.
However, as the game progressed, Barcelona gradually increased its pressure on Real Madrid's midfield and backcourt.
In the 12th minute, Messi's pressing pressure caused Ramos to make a long pass to Di Maria on the right. He failed to pass the ball well, and Alaba seized the opportunity and headed the ball.
Gave it to Pique.
Under the interference of Benzema, Pique's header passed the center line and landed on the right side of Real Madrid's half.
Carvajal beat Neymar and headed the ball back.
Neymar raised his hand to indicate a foul on Carvajal, but the referee did not blow the whistle.
Di Maria retreated and passed the ball to Modric on the right side of the center circle.
Just when Modric was about to stop the ball inside, Xabi Alonso's reminder came from behind.
Suddenly it was Xavi who rushed over to grab the ball.
Modric reacted quickly, quickly blocked the position with his body, passed the ball back to Di Maria, and ran forward quickly.
Originally, this time he planned to dribble the ball laterally to attract the defensive attention, let Di Maria go forward, and then suddenly pass the ball diagonally behind him to find Di Maria, thus forming an offensive threat.
But now, this routine doesn't work, so it has to be changed.
So, after passing the ball to Di Maria, Modric sprinted forward decisively.
After Di Maria stopped the ball inside with the outside instep of his left foot, he dribbled the ball horizontally in the middle circle, getting rid of Alba and attracting Xavi's attention. He quickly sent a half-high ball with his left foot and passed the ball straight.
Arriving in front of Modric.
"A beautiful midfield combination from Real Madrid."
"Di Maria passes the ball to Modric."
"Have the opportunity!"
Modric's speed is not very fast, but he sprinted early, so he immediately broke through Barcelona's defense. Only Puyol could get back to the defense in time.
But almost at the same time, Benzema and Ronaldo were ready to go.
Today's Real Madrid seems to have two arrows on the string, just waiting for Modric's pass.
As soon as the Croatian midfielder caught up with the ball, he glanced at Puyol, and his peripheral vision also glanced at Real Madrid's penalty area.
After working together for more than a year, he has long been familiar with the characteristics of Ronaldo and Benzema, especially the speed and kicking habits of these two teammates.
If it was for Benzema, it had to be closer, but in order to avoid Puyol's sliding tackle, after passing into the penalty area, Benzema received the ball and the shooting angle was also small.
On the contrary, Ronaldo's position is better.
Modric made a decision almost instantly, and immediately sent a curve ball after stopping the ball.
This kick went through a parabola and landed in the outer left corner of Barcelona's small penalty area. It happened to be a difficult place for the goalkeeper to make a decision. He wanted to attack, but he didn't dare to attack.
Almost at the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo was like a bolt of lightning, quickly throwing away the defensive player, getting into position, and when the ball landed, he pushed the ball with his right foot and hit a reverse angle.
Goalkeeper Valdes was moving to the left along the path of the ball, and was suddenly pushed in the opposite direction by Cristiano Ronaldo. He could not save it, and watched helplessly as the ball entered the net.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"
"Two to zero!!!"
"It's still Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"Two goals!!"
"In just 12 minutes, Real Madrid scored two goals!"
Ronaldo rushed out of the stadium again, and Real Madrid players also rushed out to celebrate again.
Gao Shen was drinking water next to the home team's coaching bench. As soon as he saw Ronaldo scoring, he was so excited that he grabbed the water bottle and spilled the water everywhere.
"Wow! Good job, Ronnie!"
Gao Shen clenched his fists excitedly, and the water bottle had already been thrown aside by him.
Other Real Madrid coaches and players on the bench also rushed out, hugging each other and celebrating the team's goal.
Two to zero!
The ball came too timely and was too crucial!
"This is the value of Ronaldo!" Gao Shen laughed.
Everyone nodded.
I have to admit, Ronaldo is indeed strong.
Many people think that his strength is due to the tilt of the team's tactical resources, but this is actually the result of interaction.
On the one hand, it is because he is really strong that the team's tactical resources are willing to tilt towards him. On the other hand, it is also because the team's tactical resources are tilted towards him, which further enhances his competitiveness.
Just like the opportunity just now, he could really seize it.
As for many people criticizing his indiscriminate shooting, this is indeed true, but in many cases, indiscriminate shooting is because those opportunities are not good in the first place, and some are even opportunities created by Ronaldo relying on his own strength.
What else is there to say?
"Two to zero, Martino has to cry!" Zidane laughed.
Gao Shen kept nodding.
After conceding two goals in the first 12 minutes, Martino suffered a complete defeat at the start of the night.
More importantly, this is the Camp Nou.
"Although it is cruel to say this to Martino, we should really turn to defense next and stop taking risks!"
Gao Shen laughed.
With two goals in hand, Real Madrid must defend their counterattack and let Barcelona take the initiative to press forward.
You know, Real Madrid's quick counterattack ability ranks second in European football, and no one dares to claim first.
If you really want to enter this rhythm, Barcelona will be the most painful.
