Trailing 0 to 3, Barcelona almost fell into a state of madness.
When has this team, which has always been aloof and boasts of being extraordinary, ever been so embarrassed by its opponents in Spain?
The first match between the two sides this season was at Camp Nou. As a result, Barcelona lost 0-3 at home.
That was already considered a great shame and humiliation.
Now, at the Bernabeu Stadium, Barcelona still has nothing to do against Real Madrid.
In fact, the situation is even more embarrassing than in the first game.
For most of the game, they couldn't even get past the halfway line.
Especially in the second half, Real Madrid already led 3-0, but they were still in Barcelona's half. Looking at their posture, they really planned to play against Barcelona. How could Barcelona accept this?
As a result, Barcelona almost immediately stepped up its counterattack against Real Madrid.
Barcelona's players are extremely experienced, and they soon realized that if Real Madrid's defense pressed forward, the gaps behind them would be larger, so they began to actively adopt the strategy of direct passes to the back.
In this case, Varane and Pepe, as central defenders, are the first to bear the brunt.
In the 49th minute, the two sides started a fierce battle near the midline, and the ball changed hands back and forth.
Xavi passed the ball behind him and tried to find Sanchez, but Carvajal took the lead and cleared the ball with his big foot.
The ball was kicked back to midfield, but Xavi tried to pass through again, but Pepe blocked it.
But the ball was intercepted by Messi. After the Argentine got rid of Xavi Alonso, he sent a through ball.
Aguero quickly made a diagonal pass behind him, received the ball and entered the penalty area.
Seeing Aguero forming a single goal, Casillas was about to leave the goal and attack, when he saw Varane stabbing from the side. In the penalty area, when Aguero kicked the goal, France
The man fell to the ground and made a tackle, blocking Aguero's shot.
Later, Varane got up from the ground again, blocked Aguero with his body first, protected the ball, and passed it back to Casillas.
The Real Madrid goalkeeper kicked forward with a big kick.
The entire Bernabeu Stadium rang with cheers from Real Madrid fans.
Casillas gave Varane a thumbs up from afar.
…
Gao Shen applauded Varane's excellent defense vigorously on the sidelines, and did not forget to turn around and smile at Zidane.
Facts have proved that his "motivation" methods for Varane are still effective.
If this kid pushes a little harder, his potential will be unleashed in no time.
"He performed really well tonight." Hierro couldn't help but praise.
He is only 19 years old, and to have such a performance in the Derby of the Century is definitely worth looking forward to.
More importantly, his defense against Messi is really good.
Now, Barcelona has begun to let Messi retreat more.
"To be honest, I was shocked." Carlo looked at Gao Shen with a wry smile, his eyes seeming to say: I'm timid, can we stop playing so wildly?
"This is a good opportunity to see how much offensive pressure our defense can withstand. Only with confidence can we be more confident in our formation in the Champions League knockout rounds," Gao Shen explained.
In fact, in this wave of attacks at the beginning of the second half, Gao Shen didn't just want to score goals.
In other words, to a certain extent, scoring a goal is the icing on the cake.
What Gao Shen really wants is to see how much offensive pressure Real Madrid can withstand.
Barcelona is a very good touchstone.
If Real Madrid can withstand the pressure from Barcelona, Gao Shen will be more confident in the knockout rounds and the formation will be different.
There are even times when he can try more radical offensive tactics.
Otherwise, if you continue to play like this, you will feel unsure and difficult to operate.
"Didn't you already try it in the group stage?" Carlo complained.
"That was Ramos and Pepe, and now it's Varane. I want to see if this kid can handle it." Gao Shen said.
There are only two central defenders, which is nothing.
The reason why Gao Shen dared to take this gamble was because he knew Varane could handle it.
This will be Real Madrid's main central defender in the next few years.
…
On the court, the two sides were still fighting and stalemate.
What surprised everyone was that Real Madrid had no intention of retreating. On the contrary, they kept pressing forward.
As a result, in the 55th minute, Xabi Alonso made a long pass and wanted to hit directly behind the defense, but Puyol took the lead and headed the ball to Alba who came back before Benzema.
.
Then passed it to Busquets and handed it to Xavi.
Barcelona made continuous counterattacks. After Xavi got the ball in the gap, he directly passed the ball behind Real Madrid's defense.
Aguero moved forward at the fastest speed, rushed into Real Madrid's 30-meter area, and went straight to the penalty area.
Pepe and Arbeloa chased after him, but Varane next to him was faster.
I saw the French central defender quickly passed Messi, sprinted forward at a faster speed, quickly narrowed the gap with Aguero, and caught up with the Argentine forward when Aguero rushed into the top area of the key.
The Argentine striker entered the penalty area, but at this moment, Varane made an inconspicuous blocking movement with his left hand. He did not touch Aguero, but he had a vague intention of blocking it, while he himself
He used his speed to get a half-step ahead.
At this critical moment, Varane suddenly fell to the ground and made a tackle.
Aguero tripped Varane solidly and fell in the Real Madrid penalty area, but the ball was tackled by Varane.
Casillas decisively abandoned the goal and grabbed the ball before Messi.
Barcelona's players protested the foul and wanted a penalty kick, but the referee waved his hand towards them to indicate that it was not a penalty kick.
"It was a very good tackle."
"The 19-year-old French teenager Varane made a very wonderful tackle at a critical moment."
"We can see that Varane's tackle was very decisive, without any hesitation, and his judgment was very accurate."
"This young player made a contribution at a critical moment!"
The Bernabeu stadium once again chanted Varane's name.
Countless fans were cheering for the young central defender, and so were Gao Shen and others on the sidelines.
With two consecutive key tackles, Varane's performance in the second half left a very deep impression on people.
Especially his calmness.
Encouraged by Varane's consecutive tackles, Real Madrid began to launch an offensive.
Casillas quickly threw the ball and signaled his teammates to press on.
Real Madrid first launched an offensive from the right, and Modric passed the ball to Di Maria in front of him on the right.
The Argentine dribbled the ball into the outside of Barcelona's penalty area and tried to cut inside, but was blocked by Alba and Busquets and was forced to pass the ball back.
Modric then crossed the ball and passed it to the feet of Ronaldo on the left.
Real Madrid tried to make a breakthrough from the left, but Ronaldo was also heavily marked by Barcelona. He failed to get a chance on the left side of the penalty area and passed it back to Toni Kroos who followed.
The German midfielder turned sideways, stopped the ball with his right foot, just avoided Xavi, faced the right, and directly passed the ball across the ball.
At this time, the entire right side of the penalty area was completely empty.
Di Maria and Benzema were in the middle, Ronaldo was on the left, and Barcelona's entire defensive position was completely pulled in, leaving the right side of the penalty area empty.
But at this time, Real Madrid's right back Carvajal stepped in. When he received a cross pass from Toni Kroos, he stopped the ball with his right foot and passed the ball directly without waiting for Alba to pounce.
The arc of this pass was not high and the ball was very fast, but it barely crossed the middle and landed at the back of the small penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo was well prepared. After seeing Carvajal catch the ball, he already knew how to run. He rushed forward at the fastest speed, and with the momentum of the run-up, he jumped high and faced the card.
Wahar's diagonal pass was headed towards the goal.
The ball was hit hard by Ronaldo into the left side of Barcelona's goal.
“goalllllllllllllllll!
!
!
!”
“Four to zero!
!
!”
"Real Madrid scored another goal!
!”
"In the fifty-seventh minute, Real Madrid scored another victory!"
"Goal from Cristiano Ronaldo!"
After Ronaldo scored, he rushed out of the stadium excitedly and ran all the way to celebrate.
The fans at the Bernabeu also rushed out of the seats crazily in an instant.
The other players all caught up to celebrate Ronaldo.
The Barcelona players drooped their heads and looked very disinterested.
No matter how they blocked it, they couldn't stop the attack from Real Madrid.
…
"This offensive style will become our ultimate weapon!"
Zidane couldn't help but praise.
What is the ultimate weapon?
It is a weapon that the opponent cannot defend even if he wants to.
For example, how to prevent Barcelona from passing and controlling the ball?
If you can't prevent it, then you can only guard it tightly and let nature take its course.
Real Madrid's attack just now was actually carefully designed by Gao Shen.
First, use the attack to attract all the opponent's defense, then use long passes to suddenly move to the open space on the other side, and then insert the full-back from the back of the open space to organize and plan the final attack.
Just like just now, how can Barcelona defend?
Toni Kroos' long pass moves faster than any of them, and the placement is precise.
Carvajal's back-stopping ball is also very beautiful. I have practiced it on weekdays without making any mistakes. After stopping the ball, he directly passes the ball diagonally to find Ronaldo. The Portuguese's jumping advantage is fully utilized with the help of the run-up. Who can block it?
Can you live in it?
In this case, Real Madrid's offensive line was simply unstoppable.
This is just one side, what if Marcelo on the left comes back?
At that time, Real Madrid's two wings will work together...
Zidane couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.
But it will definitely shock the entire European football world!
Looking at Gao Shen, the French legend couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.
As the league progresses, everyone clearly realizes that the high-level signings are really full of profound meaning.
Just like Toni Kroos, he not only passes the ball very steadily, but also rarely loses the ball. What is even more frightening is his vision and the amazing long pass. It is incredibly stable and the ball speed is very fast.
Accurate placement.
And what about Gao Shen?
Putting him directly at the left center midfielder further brought out his characteristics and advantages.
Let’s look at Khedira’s performance at Bayern and the German No. 10’s performance at Chelsea. Who dares to say that Toni Kroos and Modric lost money now?
