1037 Dong Shi Xiao frown
The first century derby of the new season was ultimately Real Madrid lost one-to-two.
Before the game was about to end, Yang Yang took advantage of Puyol's return pass to the goalkeeper and pressed Valdes as soon as possible.
The Barcelona goalkeeper wanted to dribble through Yang Yang, but Yang Yang intercepted the ball and pushed the ball into the empty goal, scoring a goal for Real Madrid, saving hope and leaving suspense for the second round of the game a week later.
One to two, as long as Barcelona wins at the Bernabeu Stadium in the second leg, Real Madrid can still win the championship.
But it was the first time that he lost to Barcelona in three years, especially in the first half, which hit Real Madrid players very much.
So much so that after returning to the locker room, all of them seemed to be indifferent and no longer had the passion of the past. Even Ramos and Marcelo, who liked to liven up the atmosphere the most, seemed to have defeated a rooster at this moment, with their heads hanging down, sitting in their own position, with confusion in their eyes.
Not only them, but others too.
In the first time playing in the Century Derby, Hazard performed without any performance. Not only did he not suppress Alves, he had many problems on the defensive end, causing Alves to frequently step forward and suppress Real Madrid on the left side together with Sanchez.
But the most important thing is the ribs.
In the single-middle midfielder facing Barcelona, Real Madrid's rib defense is a very serious problem.
It can be said that the two goals conceded in the first half, and Fermall's key rescue, all came from the ribs.
Until the second half, Xavi Alonso returned to the midfielder position, the team reorganized the double midfielder, Hazard and Robben retreated appropriately, so they barely stabilized the situation, but the team's initiative was lost and their spirits were discharged, and they could no longer make a sharp attack.
Yang Yang's goal in the 85th minute looked more like luck.
Valdes always made some inexplicable mistakes at critical moments. He made a pass mistake before, but this time he simply wanted to dribble, but was cut off by Yang Yang.
In a teasing tone, this is Valdes assisted Yang Yang to score, saving Real Madrid's hope of a second round reversal.
But more importantly, after encountering such a crushing defeat, how will Real Madrid fight next?
...
Yang Yang never spoke, just sat in his seat, thinking about his own affairs.
This was the first time he lost at Camp Nou in his career, and the first time he left Camp Nou as a loser, so that when the game ended, 100,000 Barcelona fans all laughed at him in unison.
This is not surprising, because in the past few years, every time Yang Yang came to the Camp Nou, it would bring disaster to Barcelona. Although he scored a goal tonight, Real Madrid lost one-to-two. Real Madrid lost to Barcelona for the first time in the past three years.
What a terrible result!
Yang Yang is not immersed in the pessimism of failure. He is still thinking more about why he lost this game?
The answer is also very simple. Real Madrid lost in the first half, and the team's tactical style of play in the first half.
Ancelotti tried to let Real Madrid play a pass and control like Barcelona, but the result was ruthlessly proved that even Real Madrid had top midfielders like Hazard, David Silva, Modric, and Xavi Alonso, they still couldn't play a football like Barcelona.
Because that is football belonging to Barcelona, no one can learn it!
If you imitate Dong Shi, in the end, you will only bring shame on yourself.
Of course, Yang Yang does not think this loss is worthless, because it at least proves one thing and one truth.
That is, Real Madrid cannot take the path like Barcelona, at least it is impossible in a short period of time.
...
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Ancelotti also looked lonely. Standing in front of the players, he seemed a little at a loss.
Because he lost.
"We played well in the second half, the main problem was concentrated in the first half, it was my fault. I made a mistake and I was willing to take responsibility for it, but I also hope that everyone can understand that the league has begun and we must get out of the shadow of this loss as soon as possible, because in a week, we still have a hard fight."
Ancelotti looked at the players in front of him. As a professional player, he knew very well that experiencing such a defeat would have a huge blow to Real Madrid's morale, but this is a matter of time and will definitely happen.
No team can defeat their opponents forever, and Real Madrid cannot defeat Barcelona every time.
The record of three years of undefeated will sooner or later be broken.
Only by getting out of the predicament and getting rid of the shadows can Real Madrid become stronger.
Thinking of this, Ancelotti couldn't help but look at captains Casillas and Ramos. The former was indifferent and the latter was still angry. Finally, he looked at Yang Yang.
At this time, Zidane also happened to look at Yang Yang, and Yang Yang also felt something. After thinking about it, he stood up.
"Don't be sad, don't be discouraged. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. We will get back to this defeat in the Bernabeu in a week!" Yang Yang gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"You believe me, we will kill Barcelona in a week!"
Yang Yang's statement made many players see hope again, and even Casillas regained confidence.
He was not boasting, because in the past three years, every promise Yang Yang made in this locker room was finally fulfilled, and they had no choice but to believe him.

"I think this loss may be a good thing."
After returning to Madrid from Barcelona, the team disbanded in Valdebebas, but Yang Yang did not go home immediately, but discussed the game that had just ended with Zidane in his office.
The game has just finished, and Yang Yang is still very excited. The details of the game are still very clear and his understanding is naturally profound.
"The players in Barcelona are all from the youth training department, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Pique. These people have played together since childhood, and their tacit understanding is something we can't have in any way."
"I can even assert that even if we concentrate all the best passers in the world to Real Madrid, we still cannot play football like Barcelona, because it is a football unique to Barcelona and no one else can learn it."
"And this defeat tonight is telling us this truth, this road cannot be done."
Yang Yang usually rarely makes a positive judgment on something, but this time he is very sure that Real Madrid can't play Barcelona's pass-by and control style, no matter how hard he tries to learn, it will only be a counterproductive imitation.
Zidane nodded, and he also agreed with Yang Yang's statement that Ancelotti did a poor job this time.
Or it should be said that, including him, the entire Real Madrid coaching staff and management team are thinking that they are not bad.
"This is the price that the team must pay for trying to make a technical and tactical style after the reorganization." Zidane sighed helplessly, "Now we know that this road is not working, so we should take another road next."
"I think we should stick to our own path," Yang Yang retorted.
Zidane frowned, "What does it mean?"
"Look at Real Madrid and then Barcelona, what do you think are the differences between our two teams?"
Zidane's brows were deeply locked, and he did not answer, but looked directly at Yang Yang, waiting for his answer.
"It's different in essence." Yang Yang replied readily, "Barcelona insists on its local area, mainly Catalonia, so they have always attached great importance to their youth training, and are in line with each other; while Real Madrid is facing Europe and even looking forward to the world, so they have always been dominated by foreign aid. The Five Eagles Era is an exception."
"This essential difference has caused the two teams to have very different teams in team formation strategies, and even reflected the team's technical and tactical style. Barcelona insists on taking me as the main focus and the concept of ball control as the foundation. It has not changed over the years. This has only come to this day step by step. However, Real Madrid has always been adapting to the times and actively seeking change."
In the past few years, Barcelona's head coaches have basically carried the same heritage, from Cruyff to Van Gaal to Rijkaard to Guardiola, and now Biranova, they can be said to be in the same lineage.
Real Madrid is different. Real Madrid's head coaches over the past few years have been a variety of things. The chairman has gone from Mendoza to Sans to Florentino to Calderon, and now Florentino. Real Madrid's head coaches are almost everywhere in the world, and have tried various styles.
From Toshak to Hiddink, from Capello to Heinquez, from Bosque to Queros to Lucemberg, and in recent years, from Benitez to Ancelotti, are there any similarities between these head coaches?
Their football philosophy is also varied, each with different, and their coaching results are both good and bad, which is difficult to describe them all.
But it is not difficult to see from this that there are huge differences between Real Madrid and Barcelona in essence.
So is Barcelona's set better? Real Madrid's set worse?
Not really.
It is well known that foreign players have difficulty integrating into Barcelona. How many players have been able to integrate into Barcelona over the years?
Even Fabregas, who came out of his own youth training but made a comeback in the Premier League, could not integrate into this team.
Most of them are stars with super personal abilities like Ronaldinho and Alves, but there are more stars who cannot integrate into Barcelona. This proves that Barcelona's system is naturally self-enclosed, and every revival of Barcelona is often supported by a powerful youth training force, and supplemented by a group of outstanding foreign players who can integrate into the team.
For example, a group of youth training teams led by Guardiola in Dream One, and the second teams are Puyol, Valdes, Xavi and Messi, not to mention Dream One teams, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquets, Pique...
In contrast, Real Madrid is more open and always brings in the best players. Even the vice captain Ramos was brought in from Sevilla. On the contrary, his own youth training has been withered, but the club is obviously more open and tolerant from the inside of the team to the technical and tactical style.
If you want to use a more vivid metaphor, then Barcelona is insisting on localization and self-oriented, while Real Madrid is moving towards internationalization, adapting to the times and adapting to changes.
Localization and internationalization here are both neutral words, each with its advantages and disadvantages, and have no derogatory meaning.
