Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 73 I Told You I Know How to Beat Barcelona, ​​You Must Believe It! [Please Subscribe! ]

When Real Madrid led by two goals in less than 70 minutes, Guardiola knew that he could start preparing the tactics for the next round in advance.

As a good friend who used to talk to Mourinho about everything, Guardiola had every reason to believe.

Mourinho has at least nine ways to hold on to the score in this situation, nine ways!

On the extreme pressure on the field space and the defense of the penalty area in a short period of time.

There is probably no better coach than Mourinho in the current football world.

However, although he had a plan in advance, Guardiola did not withdraw the offensive players in advance at this time to "surrender".

On the contrary, he kept Messi, Villa, Iniesta and other main attackers of the team on the field.

Because Barcelona still needs an away goal.

Without an away goal, returning to Camp Nou with a two-goal disadvantage, as long as Real Madrid scores another goal at that time, it will be too difficult for Barcelona to win.

On the contrary, as long as there is an away goal, Barcelona can completely accept the 1-2 loss in the first round.

After receiving the tactical instructions from Guardiola, the Barcelona players had no choice but to continue looking for opportunities to besiege Real Madrid.

But Mourinho did not play any tricks with Barcelona at this time, and directly replaced Coentrao and Arbeloa who had just finished warming up.

Marcelo and Kaka, who had sent an assist today, were replaced, and Real Madrid's formation was directly reorganized into 5-4-1.

Ramos gave the right back position to Arbeloa and moved to the central defender position.

The double defensive midfielders of Li Ang and Alonso remained unchanged, while Benzema and Di Maria retreated to the sides of the midfield.

Even Ronaldo, who had not taken on much responsibility for returning to defense before, took the initiative to retreat in front of Li Ang and Alonso.

All Real Madrid players were determined to maintain a two-goal lead in the last 20 minutes.

Away goals, Barcelona wants, but Real Madrid.

Don't want to give!

At this point in the game, the players of both sides also entered the stage of will competition after a lot of physical consumption.

For Messi, he felt his steps were a little heavy.

Li Ang pestered him today, causing him to consume too much energy to find breakthrough opportunities in advance.

But Li Ang, who consumed more energy, could still maintain a good speed to actively sweep and intercept in the backcourt.

He could even run to him from time to time to harass him!

This made Messi angry, and at the same time, he was more convinced that Li Ang was deliberately forcing him to speed up.

But Messi, who had reacted now, had no choice.

His physical strength could only last for another five or six minutes at most, and he had to save it for the sprint stage later. Now...

Looking at Li Ang who was jumping up and down and disrupting Barcelona's offensive rhythm again and again, Messi had to endure it.

Time soon came to the 80th minute of the game.

Guardiola played his last card and replaced Abidal, who looked a little tired, with Pique.

In addition to being on guard against Real Madrid's counterattack at the last moment to completely kill the game.

Guardiola is going to use Pique's pivotal role in set pieces.

In the final moments, with Pique on the field, Barcelona always has some chances when they get set pieces.

Mourinho on Real Madrid's side was not in a hurry to make substitutions again.

He still shouted for every Real Madrid player to pay attention to the defensive connection between each other.

At this moment, Carvalho almost broke his throat on the back line.

He has a lot of defensive experience, although his physical fitness has declined compared to last season.

But now with Li Ang and Alonso defending in front of him, Carvalho feels that he can successfully hold on to the end of this game.

The Real Madrid players who are united have never fought so actively together on the defensive end.

And watching the game enter the real final moments, Messi and Pedro took turns to attack their own defense on both wings. Real Madrid fans are also very nervous.

They keep praying, hoping that the goddess of good luck can stand firmly on the side of Real Madrid and let Real Madrid end the game smoothly.

In the 84th minute, Messi dodged Alonso's interception and kicked the ball directly into the Real Madrid penalty area.

Villa, who was about to complete the header, had no good luck this time, and the ball was headed back by Ramos.

Xavi, who controlled the ball again on the periphery, did not hesitate and passed the ball back to Messi who raised his hand.

Li Ang took the initiative to meet him this time, thinking of teaming up with Brother Long to double-team Messi.

But Messi was not stupid. He had suffered a loss before, so he would not wait for Li Ang and Alonso to double-team him.

After suddenly knocking the ball to Iniesta who came up, Messi burst out at his maximum speed and ran towards the top of the Real Madrid penalty area!

And Iniesta's through ball was also very suitable.

In a tacit and direct two-on-one pass, Messi was about to shake off Li Ang and shoot without the ball!

But at the last moment, Li Ang decisively chose to foul!

Reaching out and pulling Messi directly to the grass, Li Ang then pursed his lips and stood in front of his own penalty area without any explanation.

The referee's whistle sounded very quickly.

Before the Barcelona players excitedly surrounded the referee.

The Real Madrid players also hurried forward to stop the Barcelona players from interfering with the referee's punishment.

A few more sharp whistles sounded, and the referee on duty warned the players of both teams to stay away from him first, and then stretched out his hand to signal Li Ang to come over.

Mourinho and all the Real Madrid fans at the scene were heartbroken!

However, when the referee reached into his chest pocket, all the Real Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yellow card! The referee showed Li Ang a yellow card! There is nothing wrong with his penalty!

This is a foul, there is no doubt that Li Ang also knew that he accepted the referee's penalty!

Although the Barcelona players are still very dissatisfied, it would be too harsh to give a red card for such a tactical foul without too much malice!

Li Ang used a yellow card to stop Messi's threatening shot at the last moment, but now Barcelona also got a good set-piece opportunity. Let's see how Barcelona will deal with this free kick!"

He Wei was grateful and excited at this moment, and his fast speaking speed well reflected his current mood.

He actually wanted to praise Li Ang for making the most rational and best defensive decision at the critical moment.

But before Barcelona finished the free kick, He Wei decided to restrain himself.

Well, it won't be too late for him to praise Li Ang after Barcelona kicked the free kick away!

Messi and Iniesta both stood in front of the top of the Real Madrid penalty area.

This kind of free kick is actually not the easiest to kick. If you move back, it will be more conducive to the penalty kick player to exert force.

But for Barcelona at this moment, this is the best offensive opportunity they have in the last minute of the game.

Iniesta and Messi stood still after a brief exchange.

Messi stared at the Real Madrid goal for a moment, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Iniesta started to run up, but then ran over the ball quickly and made a feint.

Messi shot directly with his left foot after a short run-up, aiming at the upper right corner of the Real Madrid goal!

Li Ang and other teammates in the wall saw Messi kick the ball out, and quickly jumped up with all their strength!

But the ball finally went over their heads, and Li Ang's heart tightened at that moment.

But then, before he turned around, the Real Madrid fans at the scene had already cheered passionately.

He let out the breath that he had been holding in his chest, and the whole person relaxed.

"Iniesta, run up, jump over! Messi! Shoot--!!!

Oh--!!! Casillas!!! Casillas saved Messi's tricky free kick!

He rejected the Argentine striker's wish to score! And once again rejected Barcelona's hope of scoring away goals!

Saint Casillas! The man wearing the Real Madrid captain's armband continued to defend Real Madrid's last line of defense with his own strength!

And the tenacious Real Madrid people continued to fight! Until the final victory, a perfect victory!"

As a Real Madrid fan, He Wei couldn't hold it back at this moment. When he saw Casillas bravely saving Messi's close-range free kick, his whole facial expression became excited and ferocious!

Logically speaking, among the commentators of Channel 5, he is the most neutral one who can take care of the audience's emotions.

But today, at the last moment of the Spanish national derby, he still couldn't help but slightly lean towards Real Madrid.

Of course, most Chinese fans in China will not complain about this.

After all, their own players have fought hard for Real Madrid for the whole game!

Love the house and the dog, the commentary that leans towards Li Ang is exciting!

Casillas, who saved the ball from the bottom line, just stood up on the court and quickly signaled his teammates to prepare for Barcelona's next corner kick.

And Barcelona didn't care about being upset, Xavi ran directly to the corner kick area.

The rest of the Barcelona players either pressed into Real Madrid's penalty area to compete for the header, or stood on the periphery to compete for the second point.

Pique naturally became the focus of Real Madrid's defense.

Pepe and Pique were directly entangled together, and there was an Alonso on Pique's side who was interfering and pressing the space.

A few seconds later, Xavi made a tactical signal to take a corner kick, but it was directly sent to the outer edge of Real Madrid's penalty area!

It turned out that the active fighting between Pique and Keita was all a cover, and Xavi's real target was Iniesta on the edge of the penalty area!

Iniesta, who received the ball, passed it horizontally, and Messi, who was on the right side of Real Madrid's penalty area, kicked the ball again decisively!

However, when the familiar face and the "blocking eye" figure appeared in front of him, Messi subconsciously said "Oops!".

Li Ang pressed his hands tightly on both sides of his body, and took Messi's shot with his chest without hesitation!

Then he fell down, and fell neatly, without any hesitation.

There was no exaggerated performance, because Li Ang really felt a little out of breath at this time!

"Damn, the foot is really strong!"

After complaining in his heart, Li Ang began to breathe quickly and frequently.

In the noisy environment and the anxious concern of his teammates, he took almost half a minute to recover.

Feeling the pain in his chest gradually disappear, his breathing became longer again, and Li Ang slowly stood up from the ground with the help of his teammates.

Applause!

Thunderous applause rang out in the stands of the Bernabeu!

Li Ang's performance today was both outstanding and tough, which really made Real Madrid fans very proud!

Mourinho was also moved and kept applauding Li Ang.

This is why he let Li Ang, who is only 20 years old, start in Real Madrid!

He believed that after this game, no media would question him and Li Ang!

The game on the field soon started again, and the regular game time of the whole game was almost over.

When Barcelona was eager to attack, but was rejected by Real Madrid again and again outside the penalty area, they could only start to try to rush and shoot from a distance.

Mourinho played his last substitution card.

Las Diarra came on the court and replaced Benzema, who was exhausted at the moment.

With the help of Las Diarra's sweep, Real Madrid finally stubbornly defended the score of 2-0 until the end of the game!

The whole Bernabeu was boiling and celebrating at the moment the whistle sounded!

The players on the field of Real Madrid also enthusiastically clapped and hugged!

The tired state could not change their excitement and joy at the moment.

Well, this is the only way to describe the feeling of Real Madrid fans at the moment.

It feels so good to be able to shut out Barcelona at home and have a two-goal advantage!

Mourinho finally restrained his excitement. After a friendly hug with Guardiola, he slowly exhaled, and then walked back to the player tunnel with Karanka.

After all, there are only three and a half days of rest between the two rounds of the Spanish Super Cup.

The players and fans can celebrate happily.

But for their coaches, after this round of games, they have to look forward immediately.

This is the case with Guardiola, and the same is true for Mourinho.

There is no extra time to be depressed or happy.

In the two-round game, only the team that laughs to the end is the real winner.

And before the final moment really comes, staying calm enough is what they should do most.

After attending the press conference after the game, Mourinho, who repeatedly emphasized that Real Madrid did not really win, and repeatedly stated that they need to be more calm in the second round of the game, left in a hurry.

The next afternoon after the game, the entire Real Madrid team began recovery training.

Faced with the tight schedule of the Spanish Super Cup, the Real Madrid players could not even get a full day of rest.

Fortunately, the training on the afternoon of the 15th and the morning of the 16th was mainly for recovery, with a relatively light intensity, and the physical fitness of the Real Madrid players was also recovered.

The intensive tactical drills only started on the afternoon of the 16th.

On August 18, after the last training session in the morning, Mourinho led the team to Barcelona again.

Compared with the previous round of games, the atmosphere in the Real Madrid team was much more relaxed.

It is said that victory is the best way to enhance the confidence of players.

Mourinho naturally no longer needs to advocate the "hostility theory" to inspire the fighting spirit of the Real Madrid players.

As long as the players themselves are motivated enough and can do everything for victory, Mourinho will not think of some strange tricks to boost their blood.

And the tactics they will adopt in this round at Camp Nou are also very simple.

As all the media expected before the game, Real Madrid will play defense and counterattack!

At 21:00 on the evening of the 18th, in the magnificent Camp Nou Stadium, Real Madrid players were determined to defend the middle of the midfield from the beginning of the game.

Like the last round of confrontation, if Barcelona wants to break through the midfield siege set by Real Madrid, it must first pay more physical consumption.

And facing Real Madrid's completely low posture and reckless play, Guardiola is also a headache.

You said that facing other mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga, Barcelona is not afraid of opponents setting up buses, because the opponent's ability limit is there, and it is not at the same level as Barcelona.

But Real Madrid is different.

After a whole season of lineup and tactical adjustments, the current Real Madrid is already quite powerful.

In terms of offensive firepower alone, Real Madrid has surpassed Barcelona for two consecutive seasons and has become the strongest in La Liga.

On the defensive end, with Mourinho's successful transformation and the return of Li Ang, a new generation of defensive genius.

Real Madrid has already let Barcelona experience what Mourinho's midfield stranglehold is in the last round of competition!

So when Real Madrid was determined to take a defensive counterattack instead of continuing to play against Barcelona, ​​Guardiola didn't have many tactical solutions.

They could only bite hard, control the midfield first, and then attack the Real Madrid penalty area.

Messi also carried the expectations of countless Barcelona fans and once again fought with Li Ang on the field.

The familiar annoying mental attack came as expected, and Li Ang's active harassment made Messi annoyed.

And, as Li Ang said to Messi in the last round.

He can lose again and again in the contest with Messi, but he doesn't care, he will keep pestering and dragging Messi.

Until the last minute and the last second of the game!

So even in this round of the game, Guardiola deliberately arranged a tactic for other Barcelona offensive players to cover Messi.

But under Li Ang's tireless and stubborn defense, Messi's performance was still greatly disturbed.

In the 90-minute battle, Messi finally completed his personal data of passing and shooting.

He assisted Pedro to score the first goal in the first half, and then successfully got rid of Li Ang and scored with a low shot in the 78th minute of the second half.

It seems that Li Ang's one-on-one defense failed?

No, the fact is that Li Ang was still very successful in restricting Messi in this game!

It was precisely because of his successful interference that Messi finally "only" got one pass and one shot.

Messi, who is now heading towards his peak, has such strong personal ability.

However, Ronaldo is not much behind. In addition to scoring a fatal header in the 67th minute of the second half at Camp Nou, Ronaldo almost got his own assist in this game.

Unfortunately, Ben Guoma, who received the cake in the middle of the counterattack, missed the single shot again, which made the Real Madrid players speechless.

But this ball was harmless. In the end, Real Madrid relied on the second leg 1-2, and the two legs added up to 3-2 to successfully win the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the new season!

At the end of the game, Mourinho put his hands in his pockets again and stood on the court with a confident smile.

At this moment, apart from the Real Madrid players on the field, he was the most shining presence in the whole game!

That cool and unrestrained attitude, which was quite similar to the "dominant world" at the Bernabeu more than a year ago, seemed to be silently telling everyone at this moment.

"I have already proved and said that I know how to beat Barcelona, ​​you must believe it!"

It's over 10,000! Thank you for your support, it's really awesome!

I'm happy today, and I'll recommend another book to help cheer me up!

"If I don't study at Peking University and go to the army, I will become an officer"
