1436 Strangle Messi

Real Madrid eliminated Bayern Munich with four-to-two at home, eight-to-three at home, and eliminated Bayern Munich from the quarterfinals. The final results of the other three matches in the Champions League quarterfinals were also released one after another.

In the first half, after Barcelona lost to Juventus in the first leg 0-3 away, they finally failed to perform a miracle at the Camp Nou Stadium. After a fierce battle of 90, the two sides finally shook hands with zero-zero.

Allegri's team finally eliminated La Liga giants with a total score of 3-0 and successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.

In another match in the first half, Monaco returned to his home court after defeating Dortmund three-to-two away in the first leg. Mbappe scored a goal in just three minutes. In the end, he defeated Dortmund three-to-one at home, with a total score of 6-3, successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals and encountered Juventus.

It is worth mentioning that Mbappe still performed well in the second leg, scoring three goals in two Champions League quarterfinals knockout matches. The performance of this French young player left an extremely deep impression and made people see his unlimited prospects.

Especially after Monaco eliminated Dortmund, as a popular rookie in Monaco, Mbappe also defeated Dortmund's rookie Dembele, and is known as the most promising talented rookie in today's football world to replace Yang Yang in the future.

But because of this, Mbappe has attracted more and more teams' favor and attention.

In the second half, after Atletico Madrid defeated Leicester City 1-0 in the first leg, he shook hands one-to-one away, and the total score was 2-1, eliminating the defending Premier League champion without any danger.

The two Madrid champions met again in the Champions League semi-finals, which undoubtedly added some highlights to the Champions League, but everyone is paying more attention to Real Madrid. After winning the Grand Slam for three consecutive seasons, can this Real Madrid continue the glory of the past few years? Will it reach the Champions League final again?

For Real Madrid, meeting Atletico Madrid is also a good choice, because both teams are too familiar with each other.

This is the fourth consecutive season between the two sides in the Champions League knockout stage. It can be said that the enemy is narrow. In addition, the domestic La Liga and Cup matches always play several Madrid derby games every year.

Real Madrid has an advantage in their performance against each other, and the performance of Atletico Madrid this season is not ideal, so Real Madrid is still very confident in winning this city rival.

As for entering the Champions League final, Real Madrid are confident whether to meet Juventus or Monaco.

Therefore, after playing Bayern Munich, both within Real Madrid and the media close to Real Madrid are full of confidence in the prospects for the Champions League this season. On the contrary, Yang Yang and Zidane constantly remind players to stay focused when they are inside the team.

It’s one thing to have confidence or not, and it’s another thing to do your best.

For Real Madrid, only by doing their best and playing every game well can they be qualified to talk about winning the championship.

…………

…………

On the evening of April 23, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.

In the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid faces Barcelona at home.

Although La Liga has long lost its suspense this season, this century derby still attracted the attention of fans around the world.

The two most valuable teams in the world and the most dazzling teams in the world, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the media and fans in this duel.

Barcelona is in poor condition recently. Head coach Luis Enrique has announced his departure in advance and was eliminated by Juventus in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which put Barcelona under tremendous pressure. However, at this deadly moment, Neymar applauded the fourth official after receiving a red card in the game against Malaga. He was suspended for two additional games after the game, with a total of three games suspended.

Barcelona had appealed before, hoping to allow Neymar to play, but was soon warned by the Spanish Sports Arbitration Tribunal.

So tonight, the Brazilian king will miss the century derby.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's performance is still stable.

After winning the Grand Slam for three consecutive seasons, he once again reached the King's Cup final this season, and at the same time, he advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the La Liga champion was even early, which made everyone admire him, believing that Real Madrid will continue to dominate La Liga.

But there are still many media and fans looking forward to Barcelona's Jedi counterattack, even if the outcome of this game is no longer related to the overall situation.

Not only the outside media and fans attach importance to it, but Real Madrid also attaches great importance to this game. After all, this is a century derby.

After several considerations, Yang Yang and Zidane still adjusted the team's lineup.

I just fought Bayern Munich to the Champions League, and the team consumed a lot. If I continued to play Barcelona, ​​it would be quite dangerous.

Goalkeeper Courtois, with Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal in the back line, David Silva, Kante and De Bruyne in the midfield, and Hazard, Suarez and Yang Yang in the front court.

This looks like 433, but in fact, on the court, the front tridents are basically flexible in running positions.

What really made Yang Yang and Zidane curious was Barcelona's deployment of troops.

It was not until an hour before the game that Real Madrid won the Barcelona lineup.

...

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen, with Alba, Umtiti, Pique and Roberto in the back line, Iniesta, Busquets and Rakitic in the midfield, and Paco, Suarez and Messi in the front court.

"It turned out to be Paco." Yang Yang was a little surprised by this.

Paco Alcassel, a 23-year-old Spanish international, is a striker and debuted at Valencia youth training. He has performed well in the past two years and scored double digits. He is a rising rookie in Spain. He was earned by Barcelona last summer for 30 million euros.

In Barcelona, ​​Paco is positioned as a substitute and cannot shake the position of the frontcourt Trident at all. However, in his not much playing time, he still scored a goal in an average of 90 minutes. It is indeed quite good, but compared to his time in Valencia, it is a bit disappointing.

It is worth mentioning that last summer, both Real Madrid and Barcelona introduced substitutes, Real Madrid is Morata and Barcelona is Paco. However, judging from the performance, Morata played in his best form in his career, and Paco's performance was relatively sluggish.

"Then it's basically certain that it's a double striker, Messi retreated and kicked the front midfielder." Zidane narrowed his eyes and a hint of lust flashed.

Real Madrid coaching staff have also prepared for Enrique's move.

"Nemar cannot get on, so Barcelona's left side will have a big problem, especially on the left rib and Roberto on the right side has Rakitic in front of them. We have to try to suppress them." Yang Yang said at the end, showing a confident smile.

With enough resources in hand, no matter what the opponent takes, you won’t feel nervous.

On the contrary, Enrique, when he saw Real Madrid's lineup, he wondered if he would be shocked?

The three players with the strongest offensive ability in the frontcourt all played, but all the midfields were replaced, but Real Madrid had such bargaining chips.

Since Neymar's suspension, Yang Yang and Zidane have begun to speculate that Enrique is likely to let Messi return to the middle, because Barcelona's midfielder has no advantage against Real Madrid, and someone must come to connect.

If Neymar is not here, it can only be Messi.

Therefore, Yang Yang and Zidane replaced the entire midfield in one breath. David Silva and De Bruyne both tended to control the ball and attack, only Kanter was for defense, and it was against Messi.

This season, Real Madrid's midfielder position has always been in competition with Kante and Casemiro. These two players have different characteristics and adapt to different tactical environments. Among them, Kante's advantage is that he is small, has a low center of gravity, is flexible, and has strong instant explosive power. This is very helpful for steals and one-on-one marks, especially when facing a short offensive player like Messi.

By the same token, Kante is not in good health. He is at a loss when facing a powerful center or an offensive player with excellent strength. On the contrary, Casemiro did better at this point, after all, his physical fitness is there.

In addition, Kante is characterized by large-scale running and coverage, Casemiro is characterized by standing position, passing, receiving and receiving are also the best choice for Brazilians, but Kante has stronger interception and stealing abilities.

It can be said that the two have their own advantages, so sometimes Yang Yang and Zidane feel that if they pull these two out and form a set of double midfielders, they will probably be unbreakable.

But unfortunately, this tempting idea has never been fulfilled because Real Madrid's midfield is too strong.

After a season of polishing, Yang Yang and Zidane also formulated different tactical ideas for Casemiro and Kante. Among them, Kante's defensive ability is very excellent, and the success rate of interception and steal is very high. Therefore, Real Madrid often seizes the right opportunity to press the defense forward when arranging Kante on the court.

Push Kant forward, pressing him to the opponent's ball-holder, and quickly counterattack after completing the steal in the midfield and frontcourt.

Real Madrid players are also familiar with this style of play and are not unfamiliar with it.

If you change the back midfield position to Casemiro for such a set of playing styles, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

Therefore, for the use of the two midfielders, Yang Yang and Zidane both let them rotate according to their opponents and the different competitive pressures, forming a healthy competition in the team, and it is difficult for anyone to beat anyone.

This competition has allowed both Casemiro and Kant to show considerable combat effectiveness.

Not only the midfielders, including Morata, Asensio and Isco, they all maintained their condition very well under the team's rotation mechanism, and their overall strength has also steadily improved.

Facing Barcelona tonight, Yang Yang and Zidane chose Kanter. After seeing Barcelona's lineup, they looked at each other and smiled, and both guessed the other's thoughts.

Later, at the mobilization meeting before the team took the field, Yang Yang and Zidane made arrangements and arrangements for Barcelona's lineup and fine-tuned their own team's tactics.

For Kante, Yang Yang and Zidane only have one requirement.
