[Football] I'm just a defender

The national derby is always one of the most watched games in La Liga. Real Madrid and Barcelona have been in excellent form so far this season. The league has progressed to eight rounds. Barcelona is currently undefeated, and Real Madrid has won eight consecutive victories. start.Obviously, this national derby worth '6 points' is the key to the league standings.

Although Real Madrid won the Champions League and Copa del Rey last season, they were double-killed by Barcelona in the league.Real Madrid wants to win back a victory, and Barcelona also covets Real Madrid's current No. 2 position in the league. After all, the [-]-point gap is not really a big threat at the beginning of the season.

As far as the players are concerned, Barcelona is considered to be the most stable defense line without conceding a goal after eight rounds of the league. The integration of French defender Mathieu has surprised Barcelona again and again; while Real Madrid has scored a total of 15 goals and is regarded as the most powerful. With a fierce striker lineup, Ronaldo is currently the most outstanding player in La Liga and even the world football. He scored 3 goals in eight rounds of La Liga and ranked first in the scorer list. The Champions League also handed over 3 games and [-] goals .The national derby ushered in by Real Madrid sitting at the Bernabeu at home can be described as a direct confrontation of spear and shield.

Real Madrid's BBC combination has proved its power last season. Whether Suarez, who has just lifted the ban in Barcelona's new MSN combination, can integrate into Barcelona and La Liga is a key issue.

"In the eighth round of the league, Messi scored his 250th goal in La Liga at Camp Nou, only 1 goal away from the historical scoring record in La Liga held by legendary striker Sala. As long as he can score at the Bernabeu, Messi will be the number one in history, and if he can score twice, he will surpass Sarah to occupy the top spot." Before the start of the game, the commentator talked about "whether Messi can make history in the national derby", The grievances and grievances between the two families of Real Madrid are also happily discussed, "Barcelona said before the game that they hope that if Messi makes history, the game will be suspended to celebrate for the Argentines. After all, Messi looked very good in the last round against Elva Maybe he scored twice to create his own history at the Nou Camp. It's a pity that the official did not agree, and Messi did not achieve the goal of scoring twice."

"Barcelona played against Elva. In the second half, almost the entire Barcelona team played for Messi, hoping that he could score at home. But for Messi, if he can't become the No. [-] player in history at the Nou Camp, Then the Bernabéu is undoubtedly the best choice."

Standing in the player tunnel, the two sides were clearly separated, and Fran remembered what Ancelotti said to himself about this game before. "You attract more attention this season!" The Italian kindly signaled Fran to sit across from him not to be nervous. Fran smiled helplessly when he heard his words. Seriously, who would expect this kind of attention-grabbing the way?

"I asked you to come, just to see what you think about the national derby?"

Fran's heart skipped a beat when he heard Ancelotti's words, but his expression remained unchanged, staring at the floor under his feet in silence.Ancelotti didn't urge him to speak, nor was he embarrassed by the silence.This silence lasted for nearly 5 minutes. Ancelotti played with the pen in his hand, and Fran seemed to stare at a flower under his feet before he sighed.

With this sigh, Ancelotti knew that he had made his own decision.

"Barcelona will use me as a breakthrough," Forlan looked up at Ancelotti without wavering, "Sergio can be the main center back, and I will cooperate with him."

"Okay." Ancelotti replied.

The two teams lined up, and Fran sent out divergent thoughts and followed the team into the field.What didn't make Real Madrid at home and Florentino who came to watch the game happy was that Barcelona took the lead in the first 4 minutes after the start of the game.

"Suarez made a diagonal pass, and the unguarded Neymar cut inside and entered the lower right corner from the edge of the penalty area! This is his eighth league goal this season! Barcelona is leading 0-1 in the away game!"

The two sides competed in the midfield as usual at the beginning of the game. Real Madrid's defense line did not have too much vigilance. Iniesta caught the gap and directly kicked a long pass. The Real Madrid defender failed to counter-offside. After a chest stop, Neymar passed diagonally. After the Brazilian cut inside, he faked Casillas and successfully scored.

"This is Barcelona's fastest goal in the national derby since 1999. At that time, the current coach Enrique scored the goal." Seeing Neymar and Suarez celebrating together, there was a burst of boos from the Bernabeu, and Anche from the sidelines Lottie frowned slightly, losing the ball immediately at the beginning was a bad start.

However, the game has just started. After the game restarted, Real Madrid showed a strong offensive power and repeatedly created threats in the Barcelona penalty area.Almost equalized the score a few minutes later, Ronaldo crossed from the left, Benzema hit the crossbar with a header from the front of the penalty area, and then Benzema overtook from behind Mascherano, but the shot from the right side of the penalty area failed. Then the near corner column pops up.

Benzema hugged his head in disappointment, as if he couldn't believe that he missed such a chance to score.

The offensive turned immediately, Barcelona's offensive opportunity.Harvey was dispatching the ball in the midfield, but he had already noticed that there seemed to be some changes in Real Madrid's defense. It was not just that Forlan no longer supported the midfielder many times, but there were other changes that were not clear for the time being.

But all of this is hard to say. Harvey can't say whether Real Madrid expected Barcelona to make a fuss about Forlan, because Forlan, who has gradually controlled his running in the previous few league games, has no scruples about himself when Barcelona deliberately involves him. A waste of energy.

Seeing Barcelona's favorite kick, Theodore frowned on the sidelines. The reporter beside him noticed Theodore's expression and said, "Is this scene familiar?" This kind of useless ball possession, but today's goal is too conspicuous, isn't it like Spain's play against Sweden in the 2010 World Cup?

Everything under the camera is obvious, and even fans who have watched the ball in the stands for several years can match the familiar style of play in these two games.Naturally, they could also imagine the outcome of that match. It was true that Spain lost, but it also exhausted Fran's opponents to the point of exhaustion.

The few people on the court who had personally experienced it couldn't help but think of the defeat that was engraved in the history of shame, but Francisco Alvarez, who imagined that he would tiptoe because of being involved, did not appear.He is still as unsparing as he was four years ago, and his movements are open and fast. His expression is calm, and he doesn't even have the anger that was aroused a few years ago.

Some people are like water, you can never see that too many stones have been cast in his or her heart.When the wind suddenly picked up, the spring water slightly wrinkled symbolically, and soon calmed down again.In the eyes of many people, it seems that Fran is such a person. He swallows up everything around him, good and bad, and finally digests it lazily with a full belch, without a trace of anger.

But in fact, people gradually discovered that he was not like this.

The nearly 34-year-old man showed no sign of exhaustion, he just ran like a person drinking water.

He ran through the day and night efforts, he ran through the boring basic training, he ran through countless sweat-soaked white jerseys, he ran through the dreams of lying down in the empty Bernabéu stadium...

He ran through the regret of missing the championship, he ran through countless nights with loneliness, he ran through the usual encounters and partings...

Fran closed his mouth tightly and breathed through his nose. He felt the air being sucked into his lungs through his nostrils, and then turbocharged and then released with surging power, pushing him to the next, and then the next football landing point.Maybe he can stop the football there, or it will be transferred to another person before he arrives, it doesn't matter, he only knows that as long as he has a little strength, he will not stop.

Then people gradually realized that he was more like a mountain than the invisible water.You can tell which side has been transformed and which side has been transported, gradually forming the muscles and bones forged by fortune the day after tomorrow.

Unknowingly, the reporters on the sidelines and the audience in the entire Bernabéu stadium silently watched the man.It is true that under the camera, he is no longer as calm as he was when he sprinted for three to 10 minutes when he was younger. His fatigue is obvious, and the sweat has soaked the white jersey, which is stained with mud after the fall.When Real Madrid took possession of the ball, he stopped in his own half for a short break, and the sweat gathered and slid down his cheeks, gliding over his panting Adam's apple and hiding in the jersey.He watched the battle ahead, waiting for his next battle.

Sitting in the stands, Ji Yi unconsciously held the arm of her girlfriend beside her. She looked at the man running around on the court with red eyes, and for a moment she didn't want to continue watching, so that he could still be supreme She still exists in her memory like the God of God, so he is still the iron man who can never run to death and no one can defeat.But looking at his shining eyes, I couldn't bear to look away, so I could only stare at him with wide eyes that still contained tears.

Ji Yi thought, it's always like this, although he doesn't watch basketball, Zhang Jiaweicheng doesn't bully me.

At first, you caught a glimpse of him in an insignificant game, and you thought he was a bit different, but his gestures were still young people's frivolity, and the jersey that resembled his idol looked very different on him. earth.

After a while, you hear that he's just done something amazing, that he's a rising star that everyone respects.You shook your head, feeling that you have already understood the routines of these clubs, and a star-making project has begun again.

Then his name started to appear online, on TV and in newspapers, predicting that he would achieve as much as your idol at this club.You are still not very interested in him, and even his reputation makes you slightly disgusted with him, and you insist on involving your idol hype.After that, you looked at him one day while watching a game, with indifferent curiosity, and a little bit of nitpicking.You want to feel like, "Well, I knew he wouldn't be that good."

Then your eyes are attracted, and your eyes follow him. When the game is over, you realize that you have opened your mouth unconsciously.You think: "Well, this guy is really extraordinary." It's amazing to taste it carefully, "I became a fan of him without knowing it." But you don't feel disgusted.

News coverage, biography and private interviews began to flood in on him.You read it intentionally or unintentionally, and you have a rough idea of ​​this guy's life.You find that he is starting to look like a star, the answers at the press conference are more and more easy to handle, the smiles in commercial advertisements are becoming more and more professional, and even the signatures are becoming more and more chic, making the signatures when he was not famous become incomparable precious.

He was completely popular, newspapers and magazines published his right and wrong, and because he became a public figure, jokes began to circulate around him.Even people who don't understand sports know how to make fun of him, to appear to keep up with the trend.You'd be pissed off by the mess he'd made, but he was so shiny and radiant on the court.So you immerse yourself in his victories, and tolerate those right and wrong that seem to be true and false.

The story after that is not so good.

Real Madrid equalized the score in the 34th minute of the game. Marcelo made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Pique was given a yellow card for a handball foul. Ronaldo made a penalty kick to tie the score at 1-1. At this stage, Real Madrid overtook the score, Benzema passed the ball, and Ramos, who was unguarded, received a pass from Cross in front of the small penalty area and scored with a header.After 2-1, it entered the intermission stage.

On the way back to the locker room, the leading Real Madrid was relatively relaxed. Ramos laughed while talking next to Fran. Fran was out of breath and did not speak, but kept smiling with Ramos.On the contrary, the atmosphere in Barcelona is not very good, not only the problem of falling behind, but also because they feel that they jumped into the hole dug by Real Madrid in the first half.

"He needs to play like this in the Swedish team, but Real Madrid is not the Swedish team. What can Barcelona do if they target him too much? It's not that the opponent involved Fran, obviously it was Fran who involved them." Theodore has now discovered Forlan's sense of isolation in the first half was not an illusion, but a deliberate effort by Real Madrid.

"But how could Real Madrid let their defensive general..." The person who spoke just now understood halfway through, "So this defense is dominated by Ramos, and Fran is put on the bright side. exchange."

Harvey's face in the Barcelona locker room is not very good. It is true that he will leave Barcelona after the end of the season, but as long as he is still in Barcelona, ​​he will work hard to make himself the most important role in the club.As for Fran, if it weren't for this game, Harvey would never believe that he would admit defeat so cooperatively.

Has his condition declined so much?not at all!Then he shouldn't have given up after just a few games!

"I despise him!" Harvey gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. Iniesta sat beside him panting. To be honest, Harvey was almost 35, and Iniesta was also in his early 30s. Such physical exertion was too much for them. It's not easy.But when Xiaobai heard Harvey's words, he glanced at his obviously out-of-strength state, and poked the knife without restraint, "But why should he care if you think highly of him?"

Because of Harvey's state, it is obvious that he will be substituted in the first ten minutes of the second half.

Sure enough, the second half started in a different place, Barcelona adjusted its style of play, and Fran also retreated to his position to defend with peace of mind. After more than ten minutes, Barcelona took the lead on the sidelines and played the sign of a substitution, and Rakitic replaced Harvey.Harvey watched the substitution suddenly flooded with fatigue, not only physically, but also mentally.He looked at Real Madrid's opponents who had been exhausted for so many years in halftime, and suddenly stopped walking to the sidelines.

He had an illusion that after so many years, maybe this was the last time the two met on the court.

But no one on the field would know the sadness that Harvey suddenly rushed to his heart. Messi, who got the ball, and Suarez, who received the ball, ran parallel to each other, and encountered Forlan's defense before breaking into the Real Madrid penalty area.It is Arbeloa who is staring at Suarez. It is reasonable that Messi can choose to split Suarez at this moment, which is more successful, but Messi does not.

Before he met Forlan in the national derby, Cruyff told him that only by gritting his teeth and rushing forward all the time can he reach the desired height.Instead of shrinking, avoiding, or giving up selectively.

Although maybe he looks like a villain, but who cares, the time has come for him to defeat this man.

While controlling the ball under his feet, Messi turned his head slightly and glanced at Fran who was defending him one-on-one. He suddenly asked, "Are you defending me alone in this game?"

Fran tried his best to block Messi's progress, and didn't have enough energy to deal with his chat plans.Messi suddenly accelerated to Fran's left side. The Argentine was proud of his speed and explosive power. Fran immediately stopped this too obvious intention.But Messi is not discouraged, even if the slide he blocks is easy, it is only temporary.

Messi instantly speeds up and changes direction with ease. When the spike changes direction, the football seems to grow on his feet. His body coordination is so good that people are jealous. Observe Fran's pace and center of gravity. When he changes again, it is no longer a spike. Change direction, but suddenly move quickly in the opposite direction.

Fran, who followed Messi's crazy changes of direction several times, defended left and right, and his knees forcibly switched several times in a short period of time, already feeling faintly numb.But he still kicked the ground to follow Messi's footsteps, but as soon as he accelerated to catch up, Messi's next move made Fran a loser in this attack and defense.

"Messi made an emergency stop and changed direction!" Countless commentators said at the same time seeing Messi's actions. Messi on the court moved in the opposite direction and changed his line again when Fran just caught up with him.Fran, who was trying to make an emergency stop from the accelerated state, had lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. He could only watch Messi dribble away at high speed.

The Barcelona fans who came to the Bernabeu in the away game burst into wild screams and cheers. From the attacker's point of view, this is really a wonderful typical attack, with the spike changing direction and acceleration and emergency stop being so easy.

Everyone can see that every move of Messi is not a fake move. As long as there is a Fran who does not follow closely, he will be forcibly overtaken, and in the end he loses his position and falls to the ground, just like the pair of Fran and Larson back then. During the first defense, Larson injured his knee and ligament due to repeated forced changes of direction. It was not that his consciousness could not keep up, but his body could not keep up with consciousness.

Messi's attack ended with a shot over the bar.

The author has something to say: ... I don't know why, but I read it again after writing it, but I didn't feel much

But when I wrote it, I really cried while writing it in the second half...

I don't even know what I'm crying about

Then I found out that the national derby, which was so difficult, couldn't finish writing a chapter while I was crying, which was embarrassing.

The idea of ​​Ji Yi in the article comes from Mr. Zhang Jiawei Zhang... Speaking of which, I didn’t know him in Zhihu, but in Hupu.

I forgot whether he wrote that article to Iverson or T-mac. Anyway, when I read it, it hurt me to death when I was a sophomore.

In fact, it seems to be the case. For the players in the heart, it is "in the beginning, you saw him with a glimpse in an unimportant game."

There are a lot of three-dimensional things recently, and IELTS is 20 days away, and I have to write a [-] to [-] internship summary report recently.

In addition, I am working hard on the follow-up development of this article, for fear that it will be unfinished.

So I'm going to take a leave for the time being... There may be weekly updates in between, I'm not sure, anyway, when I come back on 8.20, the daily update will end.

say sorry~
