Chapter 479: Deadly
Real Madrid's last two attacks of the first half were contracted by Cristiano Ronaldo, but when the referee blew the whistle of the whole game in the first half, the score on the field was still 2:0.
"In the second half we have to be careful of Barcelona's counterattack, although the opponent's manager is not enough, but you should know the level of the Barcelona players, and in the last game, you should also feel that they are staying" Mourinho said cautiously in the dressing room.
This game is too important for Mourinho to be cautious, and the Real Madrid players also know that this game is the final destination of the match.
The whole of Real Madrid did not expect that the league, which had lost hope, suddenly had hope again, and now hope was firmly in their own hands.
However, Mourinho's words are very right, Barcelona's head coach is indeed a little worse, but Barcelona's players are definitely the best in today's football, otherwise Barcelona would not have swept the whole of Europe in recent years and is known as the Cosmos team.
At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona showed the style of the Cosmos, and although Lula had poor on-the-spot scheduling, he still made two correct substitutions at halftime.
There were two changes in midfield, a rare occurrence in a game, but it also showed Lula's determination as Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez came on to replace young Thiago and Pedro.
Cesc Fabregas's appearance liberated Iniesta to a certain extent, Thiago is indeed amazingly talented, but after all, he is still young, Iniesta not only needs to be organized, but also needs to keep an eye on Thiago at all times.
Real Madrid's opening was not a good one for themselves, as the ball was cut off after half-time and Mesut Ozil was intercepted by Sergio Busquets when he received a header from Lindong.
Barcelona launched a counter-attack and Busquets handed the hands of Cesc Fabregas, who took two steps forward to attract Modric's attention and then crossed to Andres Iniesta diagonally.
Khedira really can't stop Iniesta alone, in terms of physical fitness, Iniesta doesn't have any advantage in the face of Khedira, but at the technical level, Iniesta directly dumped Khedira two streets.
With a pull, a smash and a push of the right foot, the ball went straight past Khedira to the left, and the Iniesta man followed closely behind him.
Passing, Iniesta was originally ready to continue to hold the ball, but when he crossed Khedira, Iniesta saw Messi who appeared behind Ramos.
Ramos's consciousness is very good, he expected that Khedira could not stop it, so he took two steps forward, but it was his two steps that directly allowed Messi to seize the opportunity and appear behind him.
How could Iniesta let go of such an opportunity, with a push forward, the ball went past Ramos and into the feet of Messi, who was at the moment unimpeded and went directly into the Real Madrid penalty area.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~Messi~~~Messi~~~ Barcelona pursued a goal, and at the critical moment, Messi stood up."
"Ramos's mistake, Ramos was too far forward, Iniesta passed the ball decisively, Messi rushed into the penalty area without any defenders, a low shot, the ball from the bottom left corner only from the goal, Lopes saved a step slowly."
"The eighteenth goal, Messi's eighteenth in a national derby, he equalled the record for the most goals set by Di Stéfano, and from today he will share this record exclusively with the greatest striker in Real Madrid's history, and even Messi has the opportunity to extend it infinitely."
Coming back from the dead, Messi's saved Barcelona and Lula, 0:2 and 1:2 are completely two concepts, and the second half of the game has just begun, and Barcelona's morale is high for a while.
Don't forget, it was Mourinho who sat on the bench of Real Madrid, the madman rushed out of the bench for the first time, and called Modric over, "Steady, Barcelona will definitely take advantage of the counterattack after the goal, we control the ball, don't worry about stabilizing the situation, Barcelona just chased a goal." ”
Barcelona soon found out Real Madrid's intentions, and when the game resumed, Real Madrid did not think about scoring goals to regain the two-goal advantage, but instead played with an empty ball and played very patiently.
This is obviously something that Barcelona can't bear, taking advantage of the morale of this pursuit of a goal, Barcelona is ready to score a goal in one go.
And as long as one more goal is scored to tie the score, then Lula has already completed the task, in the current situation, Lula and Barcelona do not want to win at the Bernabeu anymore, they now want to just a draw, keep the 8-point lead.
In the grab, after seeing Real Madrid's conscious slowing down of the tempo, Barcelona decisively stepped up, Iniesta pounced on Modric who got the ball, and then pounced on Khedira after Modric passed the ball to Khedira.
Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Busquets also followed closely into the Real Madrid half, and even Barcelona's entire defense continued to press forward, and Pique went straight to the midfield.
Pique played as a striker when he was younger, so he is a little different from the traditional defenders, he has an attacking heart, much like Lucio in the past, except that Pique does not have Lucio's perverted ability to go straight up and down.
Mascherano dragged on to the end, following Lin Dong's side, and it has to be said that the red-eyed Barcelona unwittingly put themselves in the most dangerous position.
Pique and Mascherano can't stop Lin Dong, not to mention that it's just a Mascherano now, if Real Madrid comes with a long pass at this time, the score on the field may change again.
Will Real Madrid let go of such an opportunity? Obviously it was impossible, in the 53rd minute of the game, when the Barcelona defence pressed forward again and Pique headed near the halfway line.
Real Madrid sent a fatal pass, or from Modric, if in the previous game, Barcelona achieved Lin Dong, then in this game, Barcelona's achievement is Modric.
Of course, Lin Dong still performed well, but Lin Dong is different from Modric, Lin Dong has already proven himself in the previous game and has stepped on the top of Barcelona.
And Modric has not really occupied the main position when he joined Real Madrid this season, although he has performed very well, but in Mourinho's heart, he undoubtedly trusts Alonso more.
With a long pass, the ball flew directly from the Real Madrid half to the heart of Barcelona, and Modric did not look for Lin Dong, but chose behind Lin Dong and Mascherano, at the edge of the Barcelona penalty area.
Speed, explosiveness, Modric's long pass makes full use of Lin Dong's speed and explosiveness, saves unnecessary trouble and time, and goes straight to the heart of the opponent.
