When the game reached the 37th minute, Barcelona once again slowly pushed past the halfway line.
Alves moved the ball from the right to the center, Busquets stopped the ball and entered Real Madrid's half.
The Barcelona midfielder spotted an opportunity and suddenly sent a direct pass forward to the feet of Messi who was retreating.
The Argentine superstar didn't even stop the ball and directly swept Busquets' pass behind him to the left.
With a seemingly random kick from Messi, the ball passed through Real Madrid's defense and landed on the left side of the penalty area.
Villa quickly moved forward and stopped the ball on the left wing, but by this time, Varane had also followed.
The French central defender had his hands behind his back, like dog skin plaster, pressing Villa step by step.
The Spanish forward had no choice but to pass down the bottom line, but the ball went out of the bottom line.
Thunderous applause spread throughout the Bernabeu Stadium.
Barcelona acting head coach Jordi Luela on the sidelines also covered his face with disappointment, regretting the failure of this attack.
Messi's pass was very beautiful, but on the one hand, Villa was not as good as before, and Varane's defense was watertight, not even giving Villa any chance, forcing the Spanish striker to play.
Bottom pass.
As a result, the ball went out of the baseline.
"Gao Shen played too obscenely tonight!" Lula cursed angrily.
"How can this person still have the demeanor of a famous marshal?"
Look at Real Madrid on the court tonight. Does it look like a wealthy team, like a team led by a famous coach?
What is the ball possession rate?
25%.
Originally, Lula, like everyone else, guessed that Gao Shen would attack at the beginning of the game. This was his specialty, so Barcelona even carefully designed the drama to attack Real Madrid after the opening.
You know, Real Madrid rotated 9 players, but Barcelona did not. In terms of overall strength, Barcelona had the advantage.
As a result, Gao Shen refused to press out and play, but retreated from the beginning.
This guarding lasted for more than half an hour.
Lula had to admit that the defense trained by Gao Shen was indeed very good, very layered and very flexible, allowing Barcelona's offense to come back without success again and again.
But isn't that a bit too conservative?
And so far, Barcelona has only had one shot.
Of course, Real Madrid didn't have many shots, so they only had three shots.
Therefore, the game was not pretty, but it was very intense and fast-paced.
"His formations are always unexpected." Lula sighed dejectedly.
Barcelona really doesn't have a good solution for Real Madrid's defense.
Especially when Gao Shen adopts such defensive tactics.
Messi retreated several times to get the ball, but he encountered Casemiro's tenacious sniping.
The Brazilian defensive midfielder has a strong body, a tough defense, and a strong running ability. This makes him an iron gate in Real Madrid's midfield and backcourt tonight, blocking Barcelona's attacks time and time again.
More importantly, he is not just a defensive player.
Courtois took a goal kick and kicked the ball directly into the frontcourt.
Morata retreated into the air, with his back to Busquets, stopped the ball with his chest, and passed it back to Casemiro.
Casemiro decisively pushed the ball forward.
At this time, the two midfielders Kaká and Verratti had already opened up, leaving a gap in front of Casemiro.
The Brazilian dribbled the ball to the 30-meter area of Barcelona. Xavi stepped forward to intercept him, but Casemiro suddenly accelerated, forced Xavi away with his body, and continued to move forward with the ball.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Busquets decisively came up to intercept, but Casemiro changed direction, took it to the right, and tried to pass the ball to Vazquez.
Alba fell to the ground to make a tackle and blocked the ball.
Nacho came up, received the ball, followed the right sideline, and slowly moved forward.
Real Madrid slowed down their attack slightly.
If a quick counterattack fails in the shortest time, it is time to stabilize and reorganize.
Nacho is in control of the ball, Real Madrid's players are basically in place, and Vazquez is coming to respond.
But Nacho did not pass the ball to Vazquez because he saw that there was basically no space in front of him, so he chose to pass the ball crosswise.
Verratti ran over laterally, and when receiving the ball, he first made a gesture to bring it back. After a feint, he suddenly passed Iniesta who was following him and sprinted forward with the ball from his right rib.
Almost at the same time, all the Real Madrid offensive players in front came alive.
Jese was on the left side, preparing to move forward. Morata, Kaká and Vázquez were all preparing. Among them, Morata even reached out in front of him to indicate the pass for Verratti.
line.
Verratti dribbled the ball straight from the right rib, rushed to the front of the penalty area, took a look at the situation in the penalty area, and made an overhead pass with his right foot.
The ball accurately landed in the area designated by Morata, and Real Madrid's center quickly rushed forward, grabbing the header before Thiago Motta and Pique.
The ball went straight to the right side of the goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Thirty-seven minutes, thirty-seven minutes, Morata, young player Morata opened the scoring for Real Madrid!"
"This is Real Madrid's fourth shot of the game."
Real Madrid fans throughout the Bernabeu rushed out of their seats crazily, cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs.
Morata even rushed out of the stadium and ran all the way to celebrate the goal.
The surrounding Real Madrid teammates also swarmed up and surrounded him.
"The young players from Real Madrid all left a deep impression tonight."
"We can see that in this offensive cooperation just now, Verratti's advancement in the midfield suddenly broke the situation on the field."
"Barcelona's problem was clearly exposed. When Iniesta was thrown away by Verratti, there was no second player around to contain the Italian midfielder in time, which allowed Verratti to drive straight in."
"This is also a very serious problem that Barcelona is facing now."
…
Gao Shen raised his hands high on the sidelines and applauded Morata's wonderful goal.
After guarding for more than half an hour, we finally managed to score a goal.
But Gao Shen quickly walked to the sidelines and reminded his players to pay attention and continue to maintain a stable defense.
Barcelona has now been stabbed. This will not only not dampen Barcelona's morale, but will completely anger them.
And the more this happens, the more obvious Real Madrid's chances will be.
Especially when the first half of the game is about to end soon, Barcelona will definitely launch a crazy counterattack.
Real Madrid only needs to catch the opponent's impatience, stabilize its position, and then counterattack, which is to hit every target accurately.
Gao Shen repeatedly called out his players from the sidelines. From Verratti to Casemiro to Varane and Pepe, everyone was named by him, as well as Kaká.
After the game restarted, Barcelona, as Gao Shen expected, launched a desperate attack on Real Madrid.
Lula was also aware of the danger and kept calling the players on the sidelines, telling them to calm down and not rush to attack.
But the Barcelona players on the court are like wild horses that have escaped the reins, unable to be pulled back no matter how hard they are pulled.
Just four minutes after conceding the first goal, Real Madrid completed a steal at the front of the penalty area.
When Messi retreated to catch the ball, Casemiro blocked him from behind.
Casemiro didn't make any movement with his hands, he just touched Messi when he was about to stop the ball. As a result, Messi staggered and fell to the ground.
Barcelona's players thought it was a foul, but the referee waved it off.
Casemiro reacted quickly and kicked the ball to Kaká first.
After the Brazilian stopped the ball, he sent a direct pass to the back of Barcelona's defense and hit Alves in the gap.
Moratala went to the left, caught up with Kaká's pass, dribbled the ball forward, and attracted Thiago Motta's attention. Before Barcelona's two defensive players surrounded him, he kicked a diagonal shot.
Pass the ball to the center.
I saw Jese sprinting forward at an extremely fast speed, forcibly throwing away the Barcelona defenders who were chasing after him. After catching up with Morata's pass, he rushed into the top of the penalty area and beat Pique.
Before reaching the position, he shot straight away with a furious kick.
The football hit the net and went straight to the right side of Barcelona's goal.
Goalkeeper Valdez was powerless to do anything about it.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"
"Real Madrid wins again!"
"Hesse!"
"Jese, the young player who has just turned 20, has another victory for Real Madrid!"
"Another quick counterattack!"
"As Gao Shen said before, Barcelona's defense is very poorly organized."
"Now, Real Madrid scored two goals through two quick counterattacks in less than five minutes."
"This makes people have to admit that Gao Shen's views on Barcelona are spot on."
"But the most surprising thing is the young players from Real Madrid."
"Just now it was Verratti who assisted Morata, and now it's Morata who assists Jose. This group of young players from Real Madrid performed impressively."
"Especially the way Jesus sprinted quickly and fired violently just now, it was quite a bit like Ronaldo."
On the sidelines, Gao Shen burst out laughing after seeing Jesus score.
Turning around, he happened to see Zidane coming up. He took a step forward and hugged the French bald man.
"Well done, Zinedine, your special training is very effective."
Zidane has been training several young players in the special training team for some time in the past, including Jese and Morata, as well as Benzema.
This is because Gao Shen feels that Benzema's shooting efficiency is really too low and needs to be improved.
Of course, there is no problem with the French center's technical skills. The most important thing is his shooting skills on the spot.
Zidane also worked hard on this aspect.
Now it seems that both Morata and Jose have seized the opportunity, which is not easy.
The young players' ability to finish the shot calmly in this situation shows their potential.
"You are discerning, these boys are really not simple." Zidane was also surprised.
After rotating nine players, who would have thought that Real Madrid could still lead by two goals in the first half?
Just rely on these kids?
But Gao Shen is always creating unexpected surprises!
This is precisely what Real Madrid fans like most about him, especially watching these young kids defeat Barcelona on the court. What could be more exciting for Bernabeu fans than this?
They are all the future of Real Madrid!
"I said, we have a lot of stamina." Gao Shen said with a smile.
He said this before the season, and everyone laughed at him; he said it at the beginning of the season, and people were still mocking him; he said it midway through the season, and everyone came around to it.
Now, Gao Shen really wants to ask: Are you convinced?
