striker cool brother

Rossi pressed into the penalty area and did not press Pique holding the ball, but stood on the passing line between Pique and Lenglet.

Other Real Madrid players also pressed across the half, forming a 1-3-2 oppressive formation to suppress Barcelona's passing line.

Zidane doesn't want to be conservative anymore, he must play a wave of offense when morale is high after scoring.

Facing Real Madrid's heavy investment in the frontcourt, Barcelona's short pass coordination began to make mistakes.

When Langley transferred the ball to the weak side under the pressure of Rossi, his strength was too small and the ball was intercepted by Modric.

Real Madrid immediately launched a counterattack. Modric reproduced the coquettish pass from the outside instep.

Three minutes later, Barcelona kicked the ball from the backcourt, and Casemiro scrambled to the first spot and gave it to Kroos.

The German midfielder shifted to the right, Bell advanced at high speed, cut in and shot, and flew out of the baseline by rubbing the far post.

Real Madrid suddenly stepped up their attack, causing the Barcelona fans to scream one after another.

About 2 Real Madrid fans flocked to the Nou Camp, and they were extremely excited to see that the team was playing against Barcelona.

In the past ten years, Real Madrid has been at a disadvantage in the national derby, and it is extremely easy to be beaten by a big score.

Especially in an away game, it is very rare to be able to draw, let alone play against the opponent.

Real Madrid fans have never seen this situation, and Barcelona fans have never thought of it.

The team has spent a lot of money in introducing players this summer, and their strength has greatly increased, so why is it being overwhelmed by Real Madrid?

Shouldn't it be a big score like 6:2, 5:0?

No, this situation must not happen at Camp Nou.

The Barcelona fans shouted hoarsely, waving the scarves in their hands desperately, and the veins in their necks bulged, vowing to defend the dignity of the home court.

Seeing that it was difficult for the team to play the ball in the backcourt, Griezmann took the initiative to withdraw.

Compared with Messi, the young grid will be stronger in physical fitness and running ability, suitable for sprinting back and forth.

As for Messi, continue to walk on the right side, trying to conserve energy as much as possible.

The addition of Griezmann gave Barcelona an extra point in the backcourt and more options for passing the ball.

Real Madrid's formation also began to retract, to avoid being attacked by Messi and Suarez, using their personal abilities.

Although Barcelona broke Real Madrid's high pressure and successfully pushed the ball across the half, they still lost the ball under Real Madrid's fierce fighting.

Valverde knows that Real Madrid is fighting high at the moment, and they must not take half a step back, immediately let the formation press forward, and counterattack on the spot.

In an instant, Barcelona's defense line has been pressed near the center line.

Gerard Pique, as a deep-back central defender, shoulders the team's defense.

His target is Rossi.

Pique, who has suffered a big loss, has already treated Rossi as a top striker like Messi, and he is engrossed.

In the 42nd minute, Kroos was under pressure and was about to pass back to the unmarked Carvajal.

At this time, Pique, who was near the middle circle, turned around for a while, looking for Rossi's position.

Because Carvajal is very likely to send the ball behind him from the backcourt.

Once the pass is successful and penetrates the defense, then Rossi will rely on his running position and speed to form a single-handedly.

Therefore, Pique immediately strode up and put Rossi in an offside position before Carvajal received the ball.

After seeing Rossi offside, Carvajal, who wanted to pass the ball, could only stop, bring the ball back and pass it to Ramos.

Pique continued to look back for Rossi and found that he had retreated to the center line, on the same level as full-back Roberto.

In this way, it is impossible for him to continue to create offside traps.

He had to admire Rossi's movement, always moving in the game, looking for opportunities.

After Ramos got the ball, he may have the opportunity to pass the ball forward, and Pique immediately adjusted his defensive posture.

He stands sideways and leans back. Once Ramos passes the ball behind him, he can turn around and intercept it at the fastest speed.

boom!
At the moment Ramos passed the ball, Pique started almost at the same position as Rossi.

Rossi was taken aback, he didn't expect that his cooperation with Ramos would be seen through by Pique.

In the process of struggling to chase back, Pique saw the right time, fell to the ground and slid the shovel, and broke the ball from Rossi's feet.

There was applause from the Camp Nou stadium.

Fans may not know that in this offense and defense, both Rossi and Pique showed solid basic skills, which is a game of golf quotient consciousness.

With 3 minutes of stoppage time, the physical energy of both sides was too high to organize a high-intensity attack, and the first half could only end in a flat manner.

Back in the locker room, Zidane gave the players a 5-minute break as usual.

He himself was facing the tactical board, frowning and thinking.

Soon, when 5 minutes were up, Zidane turned around and saw the panting but determined player.

He smiled.

The Real Madrid in front of me is no longer the Real Madrid that was overwhelmed by Barcelona a few years ago.

At the Nou Camp, no matter what happens, their eyes are always full of fighting spirit.

"In the second half, the opponent will definitely attack, we must be careful of their sudden speed increase!"

The goal lost in the first half was because Barcelona suddenly accelerated in the midfield after breaking the high-position press, giving Messi an excellent offensive space.

"Once they attack, the space behind them is our opportunity."

Zidane looked at Rossi and said, "Luo, are you confident? In the last few minutes of the first half, you were stared at by Pique."

This sentence is obviously to provoke Rossi.

As the main central defender of Barcelona and Spain, Pique has a solid defense and a high golf quotient. Even Ronaldo, who was at his peak, was severely restricted by him.

Rossi put on a clean white jersey and said, "No problem, sir, I will fight with him until the end of the game."

Zidane nodded in satisfaction, turned to Benzema and said, "Karim, when attacking, you have to see the timing and get here."

Benzema followed Zidane's pen tip, fixed on the whiteboard, and nodded.

In the second half, Real Madrid kicked off.

Barcelona's quick forward pressure shows that Valverde hopes to quickly grasp the rhythm of the game after the opening.

Real Madrid's defense retreated quickly and turned into a 5-4-1 defensive posture.

Boos immediately came from the Nou Camp, thinking that Real Madrid played too conservatively, and they were simply sorry for the giants.

But Zidane doesn't care, but is meticulously organizing the team's defense.

From the beginning of the second half, Kroos retreated more and participated in the team's defense.

Although he does not have the super interception and stealing ability of his teammate Casemiro, his accurate prediction of the ball path and space can cause great trouble to the opponent's pass.

There is another important reason why Zidane put him in the backcourt.

That is, when the team focuses on defense, Cross is the undisputed first shot.

In the 50th minute, Real Madrid succeeded in stealing from the backcourt. Kroos saw that the opponent was pressing too high on the left side, so he directly transferred a diagonal long pass and found Bell.

There is enough space on the wing for Bale to take the ball and accelerate, and the Welsh star also strode the ball continuously, leaving Alba and De Jong behind.

boom!
Seeing Rossi outflanking in the middle, Bell quickly passed to the middle.

But Pique passed the ball to his teammate at a faster speed, ahead of Rossi.

Real Madrid missed a chance to counterattack.

During this defense, Pique looked back many times to confirm the direction of Rossi's running position, and at the moment of passing the ball, he accelerated his movement and intercepted the pass.

Such a successful defense will be staged frequently in the next ten minutes or so.

Under his strict defense, Rossi couldn't even touch the ball, let alone shoot.

Watching Rossi fall into Barcelona's "jail situation", Zidane pondered for a while, and called F-Valverde to his side.

In the 60th minute, the fourth official off the field held up a substitution board, and on the LED display, the red number 10 lit up.
