Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 420
c411 Four goals, Leon, the eternal Barcelona star!
It has been a long time since the Melcos felt so proud in the national derby!
Barcelona did not dare to attack Real Madrid in a defensive posture. Who would have imagined this scene in the previous two seasons? !
But now Li Ang has done it with his old teammates!
Maybe there are indeed many Melcos who did not particularly like Mourinho’s Real Madrid’s playing style.
They prefer smooth offense and gorgeous advancement scenes.
They even booed Real Madrid, who liked to play defense and counterattack after taking the lead.
But facing Barcelona’s many defeats in the past three years, they finally recognized the reality of their inner needs.
Offensive football is beautiful, but every Real Madrid fan still wants to see the team beat Barcelona more!
Li Ang’s return has brought Real Madrid a long-lost iron-blooded defense, and also brought a great possibility of winning Barcelona.
Maybe in the future, the die-hard Melcos sitting at the Bernabeu home will still boo the team because the team does not play beautifully enough.
But at least at this moment, at this moment, they have become firm supporters of “Mourinho’s counterattack”.
For nothing else, just to see Real Madrid beat Barcelona at Camp Nou! In order to vent the depressed emotions that have been accumulated in their hearts in recent years!
Real Madrid fans have been so uncomfortable in recent years, not to mention the Real Madrid players who were the first to suffer the impact of losing on the court.
The fans don’t want to lose to Barcelona, and the players who fight on the court certainly don’t want to bear the pain of losing the derby.
In the past, it can be said that they were limited by the coaching staff’s tactical command mistakes, and they had to use the wrong tactical thinking to play a suicidal game with Barcelona.
Now regaining the tactics that Real Madrid used to play Barcelona the most, Real Madrid’s players on the field seem to have regained the confidence in their mentality against Barcelona.
More importantly, this is not a psychological self-consolation or self-deception.
Now they have gained a clear advantage in the game with the tactics of the year, and they have indeed played a game style that makes the entire Barcelona team extremely painful!
Such a leading result is enough to feed back the confidence of all Real Madrid players.
Including Bale, who joined the team after Mourinho’s Real Madrid was disbanded. At this moment, he no longer has any doubts about the tactical strategy formulated by the coaching staff today.
There is a great chance to beat Barcelona, so defense is not a problem for him.
What if he runs more on the defensive end and consumes more energy according to Li Ang’s command?
When the offensive stars with a high tactical position in the team have such defensive awareness, the rest of the Real Madrid players on the field will naturally defend harder.
Even Ronaldo, who naturally has tactical privileges, is now trying to defend as much as possible to reduce the defensive pressure on his teammates.
Li Ang likes this feeling of the whole team being united and fighting hard for the goal of winning.
Although he is relatively satisfied with the team’s current lineup configuration and coaching staff capabilities after returning to Real Madrid in the new season, there is nothing to complain about.
But he still hopes that the team can have the team atmosphere of extreme unity in the past.
Fortunately, his old brothers did not leave too much. Once someone took the lead in the team’s spiritual construction, everyone could easily regain the feeling of the past and quickly get involved.
Judging from the current game style, Li Ang did a pretty good job.
As long as Real Madrid can re-gather the team spirit of unity and willingness to sacrifice for teammates, this football giant will have another opportunity to rise!
Li Ang is convinced of this.
And on the road to Real Madrid’s re-emergence, what better declaration of rise is there than a strong victory over Barcelona?
Li Ang smiled meaningfully on the court, and the live camera that captured his smile also faithfully transmitted this scene to the world.
I don’t know how many neutral fans were numbed at this moment!
On the court, Real Madrid’s torture of Barcelona continued, and there was no end in sight.
The confusion of Barcelona’s tactical thinking made them waste the remaining game time in the first half.
At the time when they should know shame and then be brave, Barcelona’s players on the field were worried about the imbalance of offense and defense.
They no longer have the courage to go all out, or in other words, the old problem of Barcelona’s oversaturated sense of honor when Mourinho’s Real Madrid rose still exists.
Guardiola therefore chose to leave for the Premier League and rebuild his ideal team.
But in the years since he left, Barcelona, which has been rebuilt several times, is still lying on the glory credit book and dreaming of satisfaction.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the midfield game, Li Ang also shook his head slightly, and walked off the court with his teammates encouraging each other.
To be honest, he is really disappointed with the current Barcelona.
Compared with the strong opponents he encountered in the Champions League in the past few seasons, the current Barcelona lacks enough tenacity and courage.
Even the Barcelona that was defeated repeatedly against Mourinho’s Real Madrid was much better than now.
At least they will not hesitate in the national derby, and will not hesitate whether to attack Real Madrid’s defense with all their strength.
Without the courage to fight with all one’s strength against a strong opponent, there is no such thing as reaching the upper limit of performance.
This is a pity for Barcelona, but for Real Madrid, this is absolutely good news.
Anpan may not have realized the change in the spirit of decline in the Barcelona team.
But he was still keenly aware that in the second half, Real Madrid could take advantage of Barcelona’s desire to equalize the score as soon as possible, thereby further expanding its lead.
This was another tactical conspiracy, because Barcelona, who were fighting in Camp Nou, could not accept the final result of a 0-1 defeat.
Even if Valverde could accept such a result, Barcelona’s veteran players on the field would directly overturn his tactical thinking.
For Barcelona, what they must do in the second half is to attack with all their strength first and find opportunities to equalize the score at all costs.
So Real Madrid can get great results by making tactical adjustments using their leading advantage.
“Then do we continue to consolidate our defense and counterattack?”
When Zidane asked this question before Real Madrid’s starting players entered the locker room, Ancelotti smiled and shook his head.
“No, we have to grab the start of the second half like Barcelona!”
…
After the unexpected tactical arrangement was completed, Ancelotti handed the game over to his disciples on the field.
The halftime break was very short, and Barcelona only completed the new tactical deployment in an emergency manner, but it was hard to say that there was any motivational improvement on the players’ mental level.
The trick of giving chicken soup seems simple, but it is not something that any coach can do well.
Valverde is an honest man. Perhaps when he first took over Barcelona, he also thought about doing a good job as a coach and controlling the team to make a career.
But now he definitely doesn’t have such an idea,
After all, there are too many veteran players in the Barcelona team, and too few players who listen to him.
He can only coordinate and compromise with many parties. Let alone giving chicken soup, it would be good if the few big players on the field can implement his tactical ideas!
After the start of the second half, Valverde couldn’t help but feel a headache when he saw Xavi and Iniesta on the field controlling the ball and still playing the old pass and control penetration.
Because he clearly arranged a simpler two-wing advancement tactic, first shortening the ball possession time, and hitting the football more to the core of Real Madrid to increase the number of offensive rounds.
What is the practical significance of controlling the ball for a long time outside the Real Madrid defense line, except for making the ball possession rate data look better?
What Barcelona lacks now is the number of times it enters the Real Madrid defense third zone, and what it lacks is threatening shots!
To put it bluntly, even if you play a fake fall tactic in the Real Madrid defense third zone to cheat a set-piece, it is better than constantly passing and controlling outside!
Valverde doesn’t believe that Xavi and Iniesta’s football IQ can’t see this key link.
To put it bluntly, these veteran players in the Barcelona team still believe in the set of play they are best at at critical moments.
Thinking of this, Valverde felt a little depressed and irritable for no reason.
After seeing Real Madrid’s unexpected choice to confront Barcelona head-on and grab the start of the game, Valverde simply didn’t rush to continue adjusting tactics.
Anyway, there is no use in adjusting. Several midfield organizers do their own thing from time to time, so let them choose the “correct” way of playing!
So when the entire Barcelona team was embarrassed by Real Madrid’s counterattack, Valverde just calmly asked Rakitic and Andre Gomes on the bench to warm up.
Apart from that, he did nothing. Such a calm attitude naturally made the Barcelona fans at home very dissatisfied.
A dramatic scene soon appeared at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona’s diehard fans turned their spearheads and booed their own coaching staff!
Such a scene really made the Real Madrid fans at the scene unable to do anything.
Many Real Madrid players on the bench also stretched their necks curiously to look next door.
For the Real Madrid players on the field, the temporary defection of Barcelona fans is a very good offensive signal!
Li Ang intuitively felt the confusion of the Barcelona players on the field.
It’s not their fault. Any team in the football world would be at a loss if they encountered such an embarrassing situation.
But sympathy is sympathy. Li Ang finally caught such an opportunity and must kill it!
In the 57th minute of the second half, after taking the initiative to intercept the ball on the route of Iniesta’s pass to Neymar, Li Ang decisively moved forward with the ball!
He didn’t pay much attention to Iniesta’s close defense, and took out the famous skill of the little monster Lukaku, and ran over directly along the sideline with a small burst!
Iniesta was caught off guard and almost fell to the grass!
Alba, who was originally watching Bale’s movements, just retracted his position and gave up the sideline defense line, which made Li Ang’s front completely smooth.
Accelerate, accelerate again!
Li Ang ran all the way with the ball, and soon went to the edge of Barcelona’s penalty area.
Bale cleverly chose to run to the rib area, Alba didn’t dare to move lightly, and Pique had no choice but to pull the side to defend Li Ang himself.
As a result, Li Ang didn’t play any fake moves with him at all. After successfully going to the bottom, he was going to drill directly into Barcelona’s penalty area along the bottom line!
Pique saw it and was directly laughed at by Li Ang’s offensive choice.
What does this mean? Didn’t he take his defense seriously at all?
With his anger rising, Pique also very boldly stepped up to defend.
As a result, he occupied a favorable position on the defensive end, and even after exerting force, he couldn’t resist Li Ang’s reckless advance!
What’s more terrible is that Li Ang has already protected the ball and entered the penalty area. He didn’t commit a foul at the first time, so he didn’t dare to make any obvious big moves now.
Fortunately, Li Ang didn’t have his mind full of fake falls. After resisting Pique’s confrontation, Li Ang quickly observed the movement of his teammates in the penalty area.
Ronaldo had raised his hand high at the back post to indicate that he was ready to grab the point, and Li Ang just made a move to pass the ball horizontally.
For a moment, the Barcelona penalty area was in chaos, and Mascherano and Busquets, who were guarding Ronaldo at the back post, tightly doubled the Portuguese superstar.
But the next moment, Li Ang’s slightly raised right leg fell quickly, and the ball changed direction!
While he was shaking off Pique, he also shook off all the Barcelona defenders in the penalty area!
With sufficient passing space, Li Ang chose to pass the ball back to the middle of the penalty area.
And in that slightly empty area, Benzema, who was waiting to pick up the leak and grab the second point, was hit on the head by the lucky gift bag!
Without any hesitation, Benzema stretched his body and shot a powerful shot directly at the pass sent back by Li Ang, almost relying on the instinct of a center shooter!
This time, Guo Feng’s shot was no longer happy, and the football went straight into the upper right corner of Barcelona’s goal!
Benzema, who scored a goal in the derby, was very excited, but he did not forget Li Ang who fed the cake to his mouth at the critical moment.
Guo Feng grinned and pointed at Li Ang, indicating that he and he should go to the corner flag area to celebrate together.
Li Ang also trotted towards Benzema under Pique’s stunned gaze, and then the two brothers started celebrating together with their arms around each other!
Quiet!
The Camp Nou, which was still noisy and restless two seconds ago, suddenly became quiet at this moment!
The dead silence of Barcelona fans also highlighted the carnival and excitement of Real Madrid fans at the scene!
I don’t know how many Barcelona diehards in front of the TV are mentally exploded at this moment.
What may have disappointed them even more was the mental performance of the Barcelona players on the field.
No one stood up to encourage the whole team, and no one used firm words and eyes to comfort the mentality of teammates.
Barcelona fans began to miss Puyol again.
Even though Puyol is now sitting in the box of Camp Nou, he is anxiously watching the situation of the game.
But this time he can no longer save his beloved team, nor can he save his teammates.
Xavi was replaced. At the age of 36, he really does not have more physical strength to provide more energy for Barcelona in adversity.
Rakitic, who replaced him, also brought Valverde’s latest tactical instructions.
And this time, the Barcelona players on the field chose to be obedient.
But unfortunately, Real Madrid, which has achieved the goal of expanding its lead, no longer chooses to continue to play against Barcelona, but decisively shrinks its formation and plays a resolute defensive counterattack!
Such tactical changes in Real Madrid have made countless Barcelona fans break their defense and curse.
But the louder they cursed, the brighter Ancelotti, who was sitting in the coaching seat, smiled, and the more determined the Real Madrid players on the field defended.
Barcelona, who was forced into a desperate situation, finally chose to go all out, no longer worried about the consequences of Real Madrid continuing to score goals, and attacked with all their strength!
And Li Ang continued to wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack in the defensive position.
In the 72nd minute of the second half, Barcelona fired four shots in ten minutes without success, and Ramos shoveled the ball from Turan’s feet again!
This time, the player who received the ball from the backcourt and moved forward became Modric.
The Croatian was like an elegant midfield magician, calmly passing Neymar and Rakitic in succession, and then smoothly handed the ball to Li Ang’s feet.
Li Ang took the ball and turned around, just observing it for a while, and then sent a bold ground pass!
The football passed by Pique and flew quickly behind the Barcelona defense!
And this time, Bale also moved forward at high speed, and he quickly caught up with the football and formed a half-single opportunity!
In such a tough battle, Bale’s performance never needs to be worried.
Facing Ter Stegen’s attack, Bale calmly aimed at the near corner and shot, helping Real Madrid to lead Barcelona by three goals at Camp Nou!
Such a result brought the morale of the entire Barcelona team to a collapse, but the score of 3-0 was not the end of the game!
Just three minutes later, Asensio, who came on as a substitute, received a cross from Ronaldo and volleyed to score another goal!
Real Madrid’s strongest finishing man is well-deserved, and Li Ang’s assist hat trick in this game made all the pro-Barcelona media shut up!
The achievement of slaughtering Barcelona was achieved again.
Li Ang’s nickname of the strongest Barcelona star is probably something he will never get rid of!
