The Ball at Your Feet

: Section 915: Contest of Giants

When Barcelona was gearing up, Real Madrid was also playing, and after the start of the second half of the season, Real Madrid immediately ushered in a new problem.

At this time, the Africa Cup has begun, Yaya Toure will go to Africa to play the national team game, therefore, he will miss the first round of the national derby at the Nou Camp.

"The league committee deliberately, right? Arranging our game to this time is purely for our good looks."

In this regard, Real Madrid players are not without complaints. However, everyone knows that such complaints are meaningless. The African Cup has to be played, and those who should be absent have to be absent. Barcelona will sell Eto'o. Otherwise, Barcelona may suffer even more.

And Ribery is gone, Real Madrid has to find someone to kick the midfielder. In the following league game against Osasuna, Martinez and L Diarra played at the same time as the midfielder, and in this game, Real Madrid played pretty well.

Diarra does have the bad problem of sticking the ball, but Martinez next to him is very good. With him and Diarra, this game played pretty well.

But such a way of playing is still insufficient after all. Everyone knows that Real Madrid’s only enemy this season is Barcelona, ​​and Diarra’s problem happens to be the problem of being restrained by Barcelona.

After this game, Real Madrid's next game is against Mallorca. In this game, it was not difficult for Real Madrid. Real Madrid made adjustments this time and tried to make Martinez play a single midfielder, and then they easily won a victory. Neither Osasuna nor Mallorca was able to block the pace of Real Madrid's winning streak, but they did not make much contribution to the midfield problem.

The two league victories gave Real Madrid even greater confidence when heading to the Nou Camp.

As for the Copa del Rey that started at the same time... Since it has already been won, then why is it necessary to waste energy on that kind of game?

After all, the Copa del Rey is not an important game, so you don't need to spend too much energy. In contrast, the national derby, this is extremely important.

What's more noticeable is that after the start of the second half of the season, Barcelona's condition seems to be much better. In the first half of the season, he was keen on going solo, and Ronaldinho, who was not very gregarious, began to integrate into the team, which made Barcelona's strength significantly improved.

Ronaldinho and Messi are both smart enough and good enough players. When they have conflicts, they are always making trouble, but once they are united, they get in touch very quickly. There have been some changes in the way the two people play. Ronaldinho gave up more opportunities to dribble, while Messi no longer controls too much shooting power. This mutual sacrifice allows the two to cooperate. It immediately became a big improvement. In the seventeenth round, Barcelona scored a 6-0 victory, and it was also fully prepared to face Real Madrid.

"Under the strong threat of Zhao Yaning, Cristiano and Messi finally started to understand what cooperation is. This is a new challenge and threat to Real Madrid. Cristiano blocked Real Madrid’s Champions League road in 2008. In 2009, Messi robbed Real Madrid of the hope of the league championship. Now, the two people who have defeated Zhao Yaning have joined forces and confronted Zhao Yaning. For Zhao Yaning, this is the most powerful enemy. This game also has a whole new meaning in the continuously upgraded armaments of the two teams."

In fact, it stands to reason that Real Madrid's playing style is not so bad. After all, when it comes to the bench lineup, Real Madrid's solid bench is enough to make Barcelona envy and don't know what to say. However, in such a game, more and more people only pay attention to the top players. Whether it is Ibrahimovic or Harvey, they are both first-class players in people's eyes, but not top-notch players. Therefore, this game has become Zhao Yaning. One person singled out the other's two people, which also made everyone think that the situation is a lot more serious for Real Madrid. And this game is played at the Nou Camp, everyone believes that Real Madrid's chance of winning is relatively small.

"I only have one question." Facing the media, Zhao Yaning spoke directly, "Who is the referee? As long as the referee is fair enough, I don't worry about other things at all."

This problem makes the La Liga committee quite unable to come to Taiwan. Every time I get to an important game, I yell at the referee that I can’t do it. This is a question of the committee. However, this time, they have always invited referees from UEFA for the purpose of maintaining the fairness of the game.

In this game, both sides are ready to go at the Nou Camp.

On Real Madrid's side, Casillas kept the goal, Marcelo, Carvalho, Ramos, and Ivanovic formed the back line. In the midfield, Pepe and Martinez acted as a double midfielder combination. In the frontcourt, Real Madrid unexpectedly did not choose to start Raul. Instead, they chose Ribéry on the left, Di Maria on the right, and Zhao Yaning in the middle. , Playing against Ibrahimovic's in front.

This change is quite unexpected. Raul has indeed had a lot less chances this season. The arrival of Di Maria has made him not always be able to occupy the main position. However, for such an important game, it is still surprising that Di Maria does not go to Raul.

It seems that Raul is really old...

The other change is not surprising. After Carvalho came to Real Madrid, he played surprisingly well. Although he is a veteran, his skills are not as good as before, and his movements are not as agile as before, but his experience and composure are indeed what is missing in Real Madrid's defense line. After all, he is playing a supplementary defender, and Real Madrid's two defenders are up-and-coming. Therefore, compared to other Real Madrid defenders, this Chelsea's abandonment will be more reliable. And Diarra in the midfielder's position is really uncomfortable. Too many problems with the ball, it's good to be against other weak teams, but it is a big problem against a team like Barcelona that is active in counter-grabbing.

Therefore, it is safer for Real Madrid to kick Pepe into the midfielder and let Carvalho take charge of the defender. After all, in this way, the defense is more stable, and the huge sweeping range of Pepe and Martinez above the midfielder is enough to block the two superstars of Barcelona.

On the Barcelona side, they also have their strongest lineup. The goalkeeper is still Valdes, the defender is Abidal, Puyol, Pique, Alves, and the midfielder is backed by Butzquez. Xavi is in the center, and Iniesta, who has come back, is top On the front waist position. As for the striker, Barcelona was the same surprise. Instead of letting Henry start, they chose Messi in the center, Ronaldinho on the right and Pedro on the left with the three arrows.

This way of playing is quite surprising. In terms of playing in the middle, Ronaldinho's experience is much better than Messi. However, it is clear that Guardiola has his own considerations. Compared with Ronaldinho’s back-body technique, he is more reliant on the huge space behind Messi’s assault ability. His idea is to rely on Messi’s assault in the middle to cause chaos. Ronaldinho and Pedro on the wing created enough opportunities. This way of playing, Messi is naturally better in the middle.

"In this game, the biggest frustrations should be Raul and Henry. The two veterans were finally excluded from the big list. At their age, they can no longer be the main players in the giants. This is not their era. Now, it’s the era of young people. This game also proves before us who is the master of the era."

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona still had a lot of doubts. After all, Real Madrid's two wingers are all with strong ball-handling ability, strong assault ability, but average coping ability. Such two half-way kicks, then, who will play the support?

But immediately, they have the answer.

Di Maria took the lead in the attack on the right, his breakthrough was quite sharp, and Abidal was also a little difficult to defend. Butzquez immediately defended, and at this time, Di Maria immediately kicked the ball to the center. On the middle road, Zhao Yaning immediately rushed up and controlled the ball to his feet. Butzquez immediately blocked it. However, this time, Zhao Yaning ran up to meet him, right in front of him, and suddenly pulled the ball behind him. , And then a flick of the cow's tail, throwing off Bootsques.

This made Bootsques quite embarrassed, and behind him, Pique, who was defending, had also rushed up. However, at this time, Ribery began to attack the penalty area, Zhao Yaning directly passed the ball and stuffed it directly behind Ribery. Puyol immediately went to block Ribery in the penalty area, but Ribery kicked the ball back to the goal, where Zhao Yaning had already ran up at high speed.

At this time, he had gotten rid of Pique and was unmarked in front of the goal. Receiving Ribery's pass, Zhao Yaning looked at the empty penalty area, shot a long shot, and blasted towards the goal!

Valdes jumped up this time, he lifted the ball out of the crossbar like a godly aid. However, it didn't take long for the game to be beaten so embarrassed, and the Barcelona players were aware of a crisis.

Real Madrid's three midfielders have strong personal breakthrough ability. The three of them played at the same time, forcing Barcelona's Booth, Abidal, and Alves to stay in the backcourt to watch defense. If Alves can't get in, it is equivalent to cutting off an arm of Barcelona~www.ltnovel.com~ Without anyone launching a side attack to widen the width, Barcelona's attack will naturally be contained. At the same time, with the people on the left and right holding the ball, Zhao Yaning also has a lot of energy to stop Butzquez from passing the ball. Without this point of contact, it would be too difficult for Barcelona to control the rhythm.

While Barcelona's attack was abolished, Real Madrid's attack went well. Although Zhao Yaning gave up most of his possession time, when he has the ball under his feet, he can still be used as a breakthrough point or a passer immediately. Zhao Yaning's physical fitness and skills are first-rate. Even in such seemingly chaotic high-speed sports, he can pass the ball well. In this way, he can successfully connect the three players in the front court. Come together. Real Madrid changed the rhythm in this game, relying on their players' strong ball ability, their rhythm is very fast, and when they came up, they kicked the game beyond Barcelona's expectations.

Barcelona prepared Messi and Ronaldinho to challenge Zhao Yaning. Who knows, but Zhao Yaning came up and stared at Harvey. Barcelona couldn't stand the fight directly? Although Messi and Ronaldinho are very good, they are not masters who control the rhythm. In this game, if Harvey is suppressed, they will be crippled.

"It seems that Barcelona is in crisis-no matter how many stars there are in Barcelona, ​​the rhythm of the game is still under Real Madrid's control. It can be said that when Zhao Yaning is on the field, he is completely the sun on the field, any other No one can compete with him for glory."

Seeing Zhao Yaning's rampage, Xiao Luo and Messi also glanced at each other. It seems that this guy is more difficult to challenge than imagined...
