As if he was awakened by Yang Yang's sudden volley, Barcelona quickly stabilized his position.

From about ten minutes to the opening, this most outstanding pass-by team in the history of world football began to find a feeling, stabilized its own pace, and began to advance slowly and steadily according to its own pass-by and control method, constantly turning its feet down, and gradually put pressure on Real Madrid's hinterland.

During this period, Real Madrid did not directly switch to the defensive counterattack because of the lead. They still actively adopted the frontcourt pressing and pressing tactics, and the defense line still pressed forward, forming a struggle with Barcelona near the center line.

Barcelona created the best shot-scoring opportunity since the opening in the 16th minute. Xavi quickly sent a free kick, Busquets passed the penalty area directly. After receiving the ball, Pedro did not pass the ball to Messi and Villa at the first time, but tried to pass by Casillas himself, but was knocked into the penalty area by Casillas.

The referee did not signal a foul, but the Barcelona player put pressure on the referee, believing that it was a penalty kick.

Judging from the slow-motion replay of the game live broadcast, Casilla's attack timing was very good, and he rushed to Pedro's feet. The Barcelona winger just fell to the ground along with inertia, which had nothing to do with Casillas.

One minute later, Barcelona made a wonderful cooperation. Alves passed the ball low from the right and Messi pushed the ball forward, but the referee signaled an offside. This was an indisputable penalty, and even Messi himself did not refute.

Under Barcelona's strong offensive pressure, Real Madrid also showed great courage.

In the 21st minute, Real Madrid successfully pressed the ball in the frontcourt, and after intercepting the ball, it passed to Yang Yang on the left rib.

After Yang Yang got the ball and got it away from Alves, he passed it straight to the penalty area to look for Ibrahimovic. The Swedish center blocked Puyor with his body, then inserted it near the penalty spot and got a chance to kick it. He faced the goalkeeper directly, but a push shot failed to create a threat, and Valdes saved the ball sideways.

This was an excellent opportunity. Ibrahimovic was so angry that he slapped his head hard with both hands. He was obviously very depressed by what he had just dealt with. If he didn't push and just pick it, he would definitely win the ball.

Sometimes the game is like this, changing rapidly, and players must make decisions in an instant, whether it is right or wrong.

If the two sides were still on the thirty minutes before the two sides were offensive and Real Madrid did not retreat, then in the last fifteen minutes of the first half, after Barcelona completely controlled the situation on the field, Real Madrid had to retreat to the 30-meter area of ​​its own side.

The three midfielders lined up in a row, closely guarding the defense line, blocking Barcelona's route to Real Madrid's penalty area and goal.

In the last ten minutes, Real Madrid also made a counterattack, but their strategy is more conservative. As long as the situation is wrong, they will immediately quickly retreat to their own half-time as soon as possible, or even within the 30-meter area, strictly sealing Barcelona's pass line.

Even though it has been two years, Barcelona still has no way to start against Real Madrid's defense.

As a weak link in Real Madrid's defense line, Barcelona also tried to create threats on the right. Alves and Pedro frequently hit Marcelo's side, but Marcelo performed very well. Not only did he complete his own defensive tasks, but he also often made up for the team's defensive loopholes.

In the end, with the team's defense and the opening attack, Real Madrid successfully led by 1-0 to maintain the break, but the players' game pressure was still very high.

...

During the halftime break, Benitez adjusted some of the team's loopholes in the first half, and also affirmed the team's performance in the first half, especially the opening attack, Real Madrid played very successfully.

This also proves the progress of Real Madrid over the past two years.

In Benitez's first century derby, when he coached Real Madrid, although the team beat Barcelona 5-0 away, it was somewhat lucky. Real Madrid's opening attack failed at that time, and instead was caught off guard by Barcelona.

Two years later, in the Champions League final, Real Madrid directly attacked Barcelona in the opening attack and scored a goal, and even fought against Barcelona for half an hour. It can be seen that Real Madrid is constantly narrowing the gap in strength between itself and Barcelona.

Of course, it can also be said that Barcelona is declining.

Puyol is thirty-three years old and Harvey is thirty-one. Both of these two central axis are obviously on the downhill of their careers.

The most obvious thing is that Barcelona has always been slow to enter the game recently, which is a sign of players getting old.

This is the case with the AC Milan senior team coached by Ancelotti, but they have the Italian team's defense to maintain, while Barcelona is maintaining the team's passing and ball control system.

Barcelona itself is also clearly aware of this problem, so they are working hard to finalize Arsenal's Fabregas, hoping to buy back Fabregas to fill the vacancy of Xavi.

...

The second half of the game changed sides and then fought again. Although many people, including Real Madrid, were speculating whether Barcelona would adopt faster offensive advancement, more direct passes and oblique passes, and when playing behind Real Madrid, Barcelona still adopted a slow-promotion approach.

Guardiola's team still insisted on ground passes and cooperation, and after controlling the ball, he advanced slowly bit by bit.

Real Madrid made two plans for this, which was obviously not beyond Real Madrid's expectations.

As an opponent, Real Madrid understands Barcelona.

Yang Yang has heard Benitez mention more than once that Barcelona regards ball control as life, and in order to ensure the stability of ball control, their passes and controls are basically based on stability, so they can increase the team's speed of direct and diagonal passes, and long passes with greater risks have never been considered by Barcelona.

Benitez's statement may be a bit biased, but it basically explains the problem with Barcelona.

It was like after the start of the second half, Barcelona passed the ball slowly and advanced. After entering the first half, they encountered Real Madrid, which was ready for the team, and it was difficult for them to create opportunities and threats.

There are quite a few shots, but basically they are mainly long shots and blocked. There are only a handful of people who can really shoot straight shots.

…………

…………

The stalemate on the scene made the game look a bit dull.

Barcelona made a substitution in the 65th minute, replacing Villa with young player Afelle.

The Spanish striker was really not in shape in this game. He basically did not perform well against Macon.

This also made the Real Madrid management in the stands shake their heads.

"Villa is no longer at his peak." Zidane shook his head.

Speaking of which, this is really a sad story, because Villa is only twenty-nine years old.

Florentino was also a shrewd man. When Zidane said this, he immediately knew what his special consultant meant.

Zidane is reminding him to pay attention to helping Yang Yang avoid repeating the mistakes of Villa and even other players.

With Yang Yang's current playing style, no one knows how many years his condition can last.

As he gets older, injuries will increase one after another, and every injury will lead to a decline in physical function. This is not a joke. If Real Madrid is really determined to use Yang Yang as the core of team formation in the next few years, he must protect him.

Ancelotti's previous opinion was correct. If you want to extend Yang Yang's peak period, you must make him change his playing style, just like Ronaldo was lazy to run and concentrated all his physical fitness to sprint to score.

Messi is the same now. Guardiola puts him in the middle of the frontcourt, and it is not without the intention of changing his position on the court.

They are all smart people. Zidane is a little bit a little bit, Florentino knows it, but he doesn't respond.

"From the current situation, in a short period of time, we will continue to use this traditional Italian-style tight defense and quick counterattack style, which is also the most effective way." Bardano analyzed the team's technical and tactical trends from the perspective of the team's technical director.

Although Real Madrid hopes to play a more beautiful and aggressive offensive football than Barcelona, ​​this is simply impossible to achieve if they can't take the ball in the possession of Barcelona.

Bardano's words undoubtedly put a bargaining chip in Florentino's heart, because in the current list of candidate coaches for Real Madrid's management, there is only one person who is best at this Italian-style defense, and can enrich the team's midfield and frontcourt organization and offense in detail.

That's Ancelotti.

...

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

In the 75th minute, Guardiola made his second substitution in the game, replacing Pedro with Bojan.

This also made everyone see the problem with Barcelona, ​​that is, Guardiola dared not, or rather, he refused to move the midfield.

Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi in the frontcourt, this is the guarantee of Barcelona's possession.

Previously, Guardiola once replaced Iniesta with Sedo Keita, but Barcelona made more passes and ball mistakes, which was quite deadly for Barcelona, ​​so they quickly adjusted back.

Now, Guardiola has substituted two substitutions, and has replaced the left and right wingers respectively, but he just dares not move the midfield.

Benitez made a substitution at the same time, replacing Kaka with Robben.

After Real Madrid's adjustment, the team returned to the 433 formation. Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben formed a trident in the frontcourt. Once the ball was grabbed, they would immediately pass it to Ibrahimovic, or directly hit behind Barcelona's defense line, and Yang Yang and Robben would chase it.

In this case, Ibrahimovic's center advantage, Yang Yang and Robben's speed are very obvious.

When the game was about to enter the eighty minutes, Barcelona launched an attack, but just rushed across the center line and was about to pass into Real Madrid's 30-meter area, Javier Martinez took the lead and shoveled the ball to Mascherano.

Argentina's midfielder quickly led the ball and Real Madrid's Trident launched a counterattack.

A straight pass was accurately sent to the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic retreated, turned his back to the attack direction, blocked Pique with his body, stopped the ball, turned to the right, and passed it behind Barcelona's left defender Adriano.

The Dutch Wing Robben, who had been on the bench, stepped straight behind at an extremely fast speed and caught up with the ball.
