Chapter 75 Messi’s changes

When players from both sides of the match gathered in the tunnel from two different directions, the live director switched the camera very appropriately, so the fans sitting in front of the TV could see the players from both sides who were full of desire to fight.

The first close-ups shown by the on-site director were of several crucial players in this game, offensive players such as Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar.

The commentator of CC5 was full of excitement and passion: "The arrival of players from both sides of the game in the tunnel also means that the highlight of the 29th round of La Liga between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2013-2014 season is getting closer and closer to us. I want to sit on the TV The fans who are still dozing in front of the plane must be very energetic, right?"

This national derby is very considerate of the Far East market. Compared with the original kick-off time of 4 am Beijing time, this game is more in line with the viewing time of Chinese fans, which is 12 am.

The 28th round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season has ended, and some of the 29th round have already started or even ended. Atletico Madrid leads Real Madrid by four points and Barcelona by five points after playing one game first, which means that neither side of the game can tolerate it. There is a mistake, otherwise the score difference will further widen.

Many players in the El Clasico are teammates of the national team, but the game is very important. There is no communication between the national players on both sides of the game, whether it is the Spanish international, the Argentine international, or the Brazilian international, the same is true.

However, the international players within the team interact with each other. They hug each other, shake hands, and cheer each other up.

Immediately, the on-site director gave Tang Zheng a close-up shot of his face, and CC5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "Tang Zheng's mental outlook is very good, and his hairstyle is meticulously arranged. I think he will be in the next few years." I will definitely perform well in the El Clasico!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted: "Don looks very energetic. Judging from the previous warm-up, he is fully prepared and has a very good sense of the ball. Whether it is a long pass or a long shot, he was very good during the warm-up." We’ve taken a shot in the arm, let’s wait and see for the next two national derbies!”

Thiago, the commentator of Spanish National TV Channel 5, looked at the broadcast and said: "Cristiano Ronaldo has been in excellent form recently, and so is Don. I believe that this El Clasico will definitely bring us a different and exciting game. Guys in front of the TV, are you ready?"

The broadcast screen switched quickly, showing other star-studded Real Madrid players.

The substitute players and coaches from both sides who came out of the player tunnel also appeared in the broadcast screen, but they were only given one broadcast screen and no close-ups.

In accordance with international practice, captain Ramos stood at the front of the team and the biggest star stood at the end.

Before Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo had always stood at the end of the team. Fortunately, neither Tang Zheng nor Cristiano Ronaldo particularly cared about these details. The two of them often took turns standing at the end.

In this game, Tang Zheng stood at the end of the team, and Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of him. The two of them lowered their heads to communicate during the period before the appearance. It was obvious that they were having in-depth discussions for the upcoming El Clasico.

Barcelona's overall strength is unusual, and the nature of the game is also unusual. Many times the game lacks originality because of the meaning behind the game.

Of course, the game process is never lacking in entertainment.

Messi is recognized as the number one player in the Barcelona team, and he stands at the end of the team as a matter of course. From the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo whispering to each other, and from time to time they also used tactical body movements.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Messi always feels a little anxious.

Just when Messi was in a state of confusion, referee Marienko and the referee team led the players from both sides of the game into the stadium from the player tunnel.

Messi retracted his thoughts and followed his teammate Iniesta into the field.

※※※

"Ouch-ouch——"

When players from both sides of the match followed the referee team into the stadium, huge cheers rang out from the Bernabeu Stadium, which was deafening.

Every starting player can feel the excitement from the heart, as if every cell in the body is igniting a raging fire, making people's blood boil.

And Real Madrid players feel the deepest because this is their home court!

In the south stand of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, die-hard fans of the home team held up the mosaic boards in their hands and pieced together a huge Real Madrid emblem.

The on-site director's close-up shots were in place in time. The Real Madrid fans in front of the TV were so passionate and excited that they wished they could become Real Madrid players and contribute to Real Madrid's next El Clasico.

Barcelona players, especially those who support Catalonia's independence, were disdainful of the behavior of Real Madrid fans.

Central 5 commentator He Wei felt the fanatical atmosphere at the scene and said: "The home atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium is very strong. The home fans use their actions to tell the visiting Barcelona whose home court this is! At the same time, Real Madrid fans are used to this Way to inspire the home team! Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2:1 in the first leg of El Clasico this season at Camp Nou. This game is at home. Can it win again?"

The home atmosphere of the Bernabeu is full of atmosphere, and the cheers and cheers of the home fans are obviously different and more fanatical than those in other leagues and Champions League matches.

Tang Zheng felt the subtle changes in this aspect most clearly.

This was the first time that Tang Zheng felt such enthusiasm from the Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, which was even as loud as the deafening cheers produced by the die-hard Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion.

After a series of necessary pre-match procedures, in the 29th round of the 29th round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, both sides stood on one side, tense and waiting for the whistle of the referee Marienko.

The fanatical atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium dropped significantly as the game approached, not that the home fans were waiting for the game to start.

At the same time, Central 5 commentator He Wei discovered a problem through the long shot of the game. He said hesitantly: "According to the starting lineup obtained before the game, Tang Zheng's position is not the attacking midfielder he has most often appeared in this season. , but partnered with Alonso as a defensive midfielder. The game is about to start. We see that Tang Zheng is indeed positioned further back than Modric. Could it be that... Tang Zheng really wants to play as a midfielder in this game?"

Also discovering this problem was Barcelona coach Martino, so he frowned.

He received the Real Madrid starting lineup before the game and thought that Ancelotti was trying to confuse the team, so in terms of tactical deployment, he was more inclined to target Tang Zheng in the attacking midfielder position. However, through observation, it seemed that Tang Zheng really appeared in the defensive position. Midfield.

this……

"Beep~"

At this moment, the referee Marienko blew the whistle to start the game.

With his left foot on the football, Messi quickly kicked the football to Neymar, who directly knocked it back to the core midfielder Xavi who was standing outside the arc of the center circle, and the team's formation dispersed.

Considering that they lost to Real Madrid at home in the first round, Barcelona's tactics have changed somewhat compared to the first round. Xavi's time holding the ball has been significantly reduced. He handed the ball over more by observing in advance instead of taking the ball like in the first round. Spin in a circle 360 ​​degrees and pass the ball.

Of course, it is undeniable that Harvey's technical skills are still there, but the frequency of his shots is much slower, and too much dribbling will also lead to a rapid decline in his physical fitness.

In order to finish a complete game, Harvey advanced through the triangular pass of the Tiki-Taka tactic.

Xavi reduces the time of dribbling the ball, and Barcelona's offense becomes more threatening.

It was difficult to advance the offense only when it came to the 30-meter area, because Barcelona's offense was stubbornly intercepted from the front.

Real Madrid's starting lineup has also changed compared to the first round visit to Camp Nou. Xabi Alonso and Tang Zheng can ensure Real Madrid's toughness on the defensive end without affecting the efficiency of the offensive end, and Tang Zheng serves as the defensive midfielder. Ramos is calmer and more decisive than Ramos, who played this position in the first round.

Barcelona's first wave of offense was completed by Messi. He forced a long-range shot when Tang Zheng failed, but due to Tang Zheng's interference, the shot missed the goal post, so that the home fans let out a burst of humiliation. Sexual laughter, mocking Messi's incompetence.

"Uuuuuu——"

Facing the huge boos from Real Madrid fans, Messi didn't pay much attention, but turned to look at Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng happened to also look at Messi, so the two looked at each other,

Tang Zheng grinned, his smile was very contemptuous.

For a moment, Messi frowned, obviously understanding what Tang Zheng wanted to express, so he cursed in his heart: "Damn it!"

Immediately, he turned his head, stopped looking at Tang Zheng, and ran back slowly.

Looking at Messi who didn't even look back, Tang Zheng smiled knowingly.

He knows that Messi is likely to be eaten to death by him again in this game.

as expected!

Barcelona's next few attacks led by Messi were in vain because Messi did not dare to take the ball and try to break through Tang Zheng. He preferred to retreat to the midfield to organize the attack.

But there are too many people in Barcelona who can do the job of organizing offense. Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, and even Busquets can do it.

Messi, who is obsessed with organizing offense, has no benefit to Barcelona's overall offense. On the contrary, it affects the normal operation of Barcelona's overall offense.

Martino stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench with a frown on his face. He saw the problems in the team, but he didn't know how to communicate with Messi.

Messi is Barcelona's number one, and even head coach Martino doesn't dare to give Messi too many 'suggestions'.

While Barcelona was unable to gain an advantage on the offensive end, Real Madrid, who was sitting at the Bernabeu at home, gradually gained an advantage. Tang Zheng also gradually moved from the position of defensive midfielder to central midfielder.

According to Ancelotti's pre-match arrangement, Tang Zheng's position is very flexible. He can often swap positions with Modric, who plays as an attacking midfielder.

In this way, with Tang Zheng's super comprehensive ability, Real Madrid does not have to worry about problems with the defensive line on the defensive end, and at the same time, the quality of the offense can be guaranteed on the offensive end.

However, Tang Zheng did not dare to focus too much on offense, because Xabi Alonso was too old and lacked mobility. Modric had no problem with his physical fitness, but his defensive ability needed to be strengthened and he was not enough to shoulder his personal responsibilities. Defensive responsibility.

Judging from the first five minutes of the game, the quality of the game was there, but both sides obviously underestimated each other's scoring ability and did not dare to increase their offense too much.

Although Martino hopes that Barcelona will play against Real Madrid before the game, at critical moments, players will still make corresponding adjustments based on the situation on the field and the criticality of the game.

As the game progressed, Real Madrid's offensive became more and more fierce, especially when Tang Zheng moved forward to participate in the attack, the offensive was the fiercest.

Tang Zheng can go forward and participate in the attack, and the one who benefits the most is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid won the first round of El Clasico this season with Tang Zheng's pass and shot, so Martino asked the midfielders to keep a close eye on Tang Zheng in his pre-match tactical arrangements.

However, Tang Zheng is in hot form and runs very actively, so it is difficult for Barcelona's defensive system to cause any actual interference to him.

Therefore, if you want to restrict Tang Zheng, you must invest more troops. In this way, the pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo will be greatly reduced.

During the period when Tang Zheng was active, Cristiano Ronaldo was often able to take the ball on the left side of the offense and face Alba one-on-one.

Alba was able to join Barcelona after the 2012 European Cup entirely because of his super assist ability, so his corresponding defensive ability is lacking, and he belongs to the type of full-back who is strong in offense and weak in attack.

Facing Cristiano Ronaldo's frontal attack, Alba played so hard that left center back Pique had to step forward frequently to assist in defense.

The number of defenders is already limited, and Pique frequently helps Alba defend Cristiano Ronaldo, which leads to increasing defensive pressure on right center back Mascherano.

Because Mascherano's size is limited, it is very difficult for him to defend Benzema alone. Coupled with Tang Zheng's forward penetration after passing the ball, it is not enough to rely solely on the active defense of Busquets and Fabregas.

The height and impact are there. If there are not enough personnel to defend, the pressure Valdes will feel when guarding the goal will increase exponentially.

Real Madrid's closest attack was initiated by Tang Zheng. After attracting enough defenders in the middle, he quickly distributed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was attacking from the left, and then advanced forward at high speed.

Alba obviously cannot defend Cristiano Ronaldo one-on-one, and Pique must assist in the defense.

Mascherano, Cesc Fabregas and Busquets struggled to defend Tang Zheng and Benzema. Martino, standing in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, looked anxious but helpless.

Cristiano Ronaldo glanced at Pique to help defend. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, moved the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, widened the passing angle, and then passed a very beautiful cross.

Tang Zheng, who was running forward, attracted the defensive attention of Busquets and Mascherano, and won a very valuable opportunity for Benzema, who was outflanking him from behind.

As a result... Benzema missed a good opportunity ten yards from the goal and headed the ball wide.

You must know that goalkeeper Valdez has surrendered, and Alves and Fabregas who were defending him have not had time to take off, which is equivalent to Benzema being unmarked.
