As many people have said, Di Maria is a player born with the aura of a South American small forward.
This is actually very similar to Suarez. They often make some inexplicable moves when playing football, which surprises everyone and always feels very strange afterwards.
Just like this moment.
Everyone, including Real Madrid players, felt that Di Maria should pass the ball to the center or back to find Benzema and Ronaldo. They were already in place. As long as the ball was passed, as long as the Barcelona players did not intercept it in the middle.
Here we have the ball.
But after Di Maria dribbled the ball from the right into the penalty area and attracted the attention of Puyol who was chasing after him, he suddenly chose to pass the ball back to the front of the penalty area.

This sudden move surprised everyone.
Barcelona's defensive players were all staring at Di Maria's side, waiting for him to pass the ball, but he did it.
The Real Madrid players also quickly pulled back, fearing that they were offside.
Modric rushed over and faced Di Maria's back pass from the outside of the penalty area. He passed it forward without stopping.
At this time, Benzema just retreated, with his back facing the direction of the goal. When Modric passed the ball, he stopped the ball to his right, which was the left side of the goal.
Pique didn't have time to stop it. Alves rushed to intercept it immediately, but Benzema took the lead and kicked the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
Withdrew to a position that was not offside, and as soon as he stood firm, Ronaldo quickly rushed forward, met Benzema's pass, and volleyed directly with his left foot.
The football almost followed a straight line and penetrated into the left side of Barcelona's goal.
"Ronaldo!
!
!”
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!”
"In the fourth minute, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!"
"From Cristiano Ronaldo!"
After the Portuguese scored, he rushed out of the field to celebrate crazily. At the same time, he did not forget to look back and kept calling his teammates to come forward and share the goal with him.
There were loud boos throughout the Camp Nou stands, but you could still make out the cheers of Real Madrid fans mixed in with the boos.
"Only four minutes into the game, Real Madrid broke through Barcelona's goal."
"It's really surprising that after the start, the two teams played very fast."
"Both sides did not have any tests and let the game enter the state directly. Real Madrid scored in four minutes."
"Believe me, all the fans and friends in front of the TV, this will definitely be a wonderful game."
"After being scored by Real Madrid, Barcelona will definitely organize more attacks!"
…
Gao Shen clenched his fists excitedly on the sidelines and cheered for Ronaldo's goal.
Then, he turned around and gave high-fives to the assistants on the coaching bench one by one in celebration.
"This attack was very beautiful." Hierro was also a little excited.
It has been many years since Real Madrid won at Camp Nou. Even every time they came to Camp Nou, they basically lost miserably.
But tonight, especially this start, made everyone feel confident.
"Di Maria is really not simple." Zidane obviously admires the Argentinian players, but he also did not forget to mention his French compatriots, "And Benzema, who is quick to think, turns around and plays the ball.
,very nice."
Gao Shen laughed.
Real Madrid's offense has never been a problem. If the training is not good, it must be the head coach's responsibility.
But Gao Shen doesn't think that Barcelona will just sit back and die.
He quickly walked to the sidelines, and while the Real Madrid players were finishing their celebrations, he kept shouting as he walked back, indicating that they should stabilize their position, continue to maintain the tactics after the opening, and implement the tactics steadily and not be greedy for credit.
Take the plunge.
Gao Shen also specifically called out to Xavi Alonso and other midfielders, as well as Ramos and Pepe, telling them to pay attention.
If before the opening goal, Real Madrid players still had a little bit of doubt about the advanced tactics, then now, with the effective containment of Barcelona's offense and passing and ball control after the opening goal, as well as Ronaldo's goal, Real Madrid players
Already completely convinced.
Barcelona really can't even attack with a threat.
Ramos even loudly called on his teammates to cheer for the team.
During Casillas' absence, the captain on the field has become more and more general-like.
…
"You guys had a good start today."
In the chairman's stand, Russell smiled after seeing Ronaldo scoring for Real Madrid.
While eating just now, he threatened in front of Florentino that Barcelona would teach Gao Shen a lesson tonight at Camp Nou to avenge the pre-game verbal spat. Unexpectedly, during the game, he actually let Gao Shen
Real Madrid scored first.
Florentino still maintained the same kind smile as when he was eating just now.
In profound terms, he is like a Maitreya Buddha.
This makes it difficult to figure out what is behind his smile.
But I can guess that he must be in a pretty good mood at this moment.
After hearing Russell's words, he still chuckled, "Yeah, I scored a goal in the first four minutes. I'm really lucky."
"It's okay, there's still time, we can get it back again." Barcelona vice president Bartomeu helped Rosell ease the embarrassment.
To say that the current situation is indeed quite embarrassing.
Even after the restart, Barcelona still had no good way to defeat Real Madrid's defense.
Players tried hard to pass forward, and Messi also actively retreated to respond, but it was not easy to advance to Real Madrid's half, let alone hit Real Madrid's penalty area directly.
This made Russell and others in the stands feel a little depressed.
With Barcelona's ability to pass and control the ball, there is no way to penetrate it.
Look at Real Madrid again. The defense and midfield lines always stay firmly in position and stay in line.
"Florentino, you guys played a little conservatively tonight," Russell said sarcastically.
The Real Madrid president still chuckled, "Maybe Gao Shen knew that it would be dangerous at Camp Nou tonight, so he was a little more cautious."
Yeah?
If it hadn't been for the missed goal just now, there wouldn't really be a problem.
But even though he had already scored a goal, it was such a slap in the face to say that.
Florentino almost pointed at Russell's nose and said, "Gao Shen has figured out your thoughts a long time ago!"
You've been fooled, fools!
…
Barcelona tried to pass the ball forward again and again, but time and time again it failed.
Is it conceivable that the leader of La Liga didn't even have a shot in the first ten minutes?
Let alone shooting, he even entered Real Madrid's penalty area only twice.
On the other hand, Real Madrid started to play more calmly and patiently after taking the lead.
This made the 100,000 Barcelona fans in the stands of Camp Nou a little frustrated.
We are here to see how you slaughter Real Madrid and avenge the previous one, not to see you being scored on.
It’s okay to accept anger before the game, but if you still accept it during the game, doesn’t it make people alive?
Puyol also began to press higher and actively participated in the organization of the midfield.
There is no way, the midfielder has been unable to press forward, unable to pass the ball, and can only rely on stacking people.
Either Messi withdraws, or the defender presses forward.
The forward pressure of the two full-backs was not effective under the restrictions of Di Maria and Ronaldo.
Speaking of which, the Portuguese superstar's investment in defense tonight was really hard enough.
The midfielder quickly tried a chance. After Sanchez dribbled the ball from the left and tried to cut inside, he suddenly passed the ball back to Iniesta. He quickly moved forward. Xiaobai sent a direct pass and passed it into Real Madrid's penalty area again.
.
On the left side of the penalty area, Sanchez tried to pass the ball to the center to find Messi, but Pepe took the lead and cleared the ball.
However, just three minutes later, Barcelona made a comeback again.
It was still an attack from the left, but this time after Iniesta sent a pass, Sanchez threw Arbeloa away from the left, cut inside with the ball, and volleyed with his right foot. Courtois saved the ball steadily.
.
"This was Barcelona's first shot of the game, which took place in the 14th minute."
"Judging from the previous period, Real Madrid's defense is still very organized."
"Now look at this corner kick."
Xavi quickly took a corner kick, but Courtois decisively abandoned the goal and took the ball away from mid-air.
"Courtois performed very steadily and did not give Barcelona a chance."
After the Belgian goalkeeper landed, he quickly threw the ball to Marcelo, but Barcelona also reacted quickly and grabbed it on the spot. However, Courtois temporarily changed his mind and turned to the right to pass the ball.
Throw it to Arbeloa.
Arbeloa passed the ball to Modric on the right, and Real Madrid tried to initiate an attack.
Di Maria retreated and cooperated with Modric and Arbeloa continuously, but failed to pose a threat.
Barcelona also stepped up their pressure on Real Madrid's right wing and center of midfield, forcing Toni Kroos to pass back to Courtois.
Messi quickly rushed towards Courtois and tried to press the Real Madrid goalkeeper, but Courtois passed the ball to the left wing.
Ramos quickly ran to the left sideline, caught up with Courtois' pass, and kicked the ball directly to Marcelo in front.
"Real Madrid completed a transfer and started attacking from the left."
"Marcelo took the ball and moved forward, and Pedro came to press."
Ronaldo was close to the right sideline, ready to meet Marcelo at any time, but Benzema suddenly ran over from the center and pointed in front of him. Behind him was Barcelona center defender Pique.
Marcelo heard Benzema's voice calling him and saw Benzema's gesture. He immediately feinted at Pedro and then sent a precise through ball with his left foot.
The football touched the turf and came to Benzema.
The French center was half a body shorter than Pique. He got ahead of the Barcelona center defender and caught Marcelo's pass. However, he did not stop, but just stepped forward to meet the ball with his right foot.
The pass that came close to the ground was stepped on by Benzema and passed behind the Barcelona defense at a faster speed.
Almost at the same time, Ronaldo threw Alves away at great speed and sprinted forward.
Alves immediately raised his hand to signal that the Portuguese was offside, but neither the referee nor the linesman made any move.
"pretty!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"It was a wonderful counter-offside move. He was very fast and caught up with Benzema's pass."
"Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball into the penalty area, formed a single shot, and faced Valdez directly!"
