Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola have little different mentality from that of Arlo and Messi, who are both studying each other's vulnerabilities and shortcomings in order to start a game for the upcoming national derby.

Barcelona's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, but the average team really can't attack their weaknesses and prescribe the right medicine.

Valencia, on the other hand, is one of the few weak teams that can hit Barcelona, and their style of play is basically the same, mainly on the ball, but Valencia's forward ability is stronger than Barcelona's.

Coupled with Elo's super individual ability, it is enough to attract the attention of Barcelona's entire backline, so Barcelona had to adjust their usual style of play in the face of Valencia's game, adding a defensive midfielder to help the back line limit Elo.

But the problem is that when it comes to a player of Iro's level, no matter how many players defend him, it is difficult to completely restrict him, and at most he can only temporarily control Iroh and reduce the number of outbursts.

This is the strategy that many teams have to choose against Valencia, because Iello is too strong to attack with confidence when the defenders are sufficient......

However, this situation also limited their attacking ability, so the result was that they could not control the game at the expense of one or the other, even for Barcelona, who claim to be the best in the world of passing.

This is the case with the first leg of this season's national derby......

If Valencia didn't have Aylo, Barcelona would be such a team.

But now that the two teams meet, Valencia with Ailo is more terrifying than Barcelona with Messi, so this aspect is a concern for Guardiola.

As time passed, Barcelona took a flight to Valencia two days before the match.

When the Barcelona players appeared from the exit, the Valencia fans, who had been waiting for a long time, burst into huge boos and sent them to the entire Barcelona team that challenged Valencia.

Sergio Busquets, in particular, hurt David Villa in the first half of the league to the point of being unforgivable......

Because Busquets did not have a personal apology at all after the game, except for the official apology that the club forced on him, his apology was only to reduce the ban from participating in the national derby at home to Real Madrid.

And there is no apology until now, although David Villa did not say anything, but as a fan, I can't help but do something, especially David Villa, who has made outstanding contributions to Valencia......

Valencia Airport exits were packed, with thousands of Valencia fans holding signs and banners about insulting Sergio Busquets and other Barcelona players.

The extreme Valencia fans, led by Joe Viney, the leader of the 'Batguard', were the most powerful and loudest, giving these to the hated Sergio Busquets.

Busquets, who came out of the line with his teammates, looked visibly more and more ugly, from white to red and then from red to black, and it was clearly the insults from the Valencia fans who played a role.

However, the Valencia fans did not intend to let him go easily, and these voices continued until the arrival of the bus provided by the Valencia club.

Interestingly, the bus provided by Valencia arrived half an hour later than originally scheduled, which meant that Busquets endured half an hour of abuse while waiting for the bus.

Looking at Busquets, whose face has changed greatly, the pleasure in the hearts of Valencia fans is called a strong!

As the clock ticks on, the much-talked-about national derby is getting closer and closer to the fiery begging of you, and the most talked-about thing before the start of the game is naturally the regular pre-match press conference attended by the managers of both sides.

The first to attend the regular pre-match press conference was the visiting Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who was not accompanied by captain Puyol, but Messi, who is currently in good form.

Pep Guardiola has the experience of the first leg of the first half of the season, and this time he did not say much, and the answers to questions from reporters were tepid, and there were not many highlights.

However, Messi answered some highlights in an interview with reporters, and said on the question of the game itself: "I know that the league in Mestalla is hard, but in the end it must be our Barcelona who wins the game." ”

Of course, Messi's self-confidence naturally provoked ridicule from the local media in Valencia.

But Messi disagreed, and said to himself: "Winning and losing in the past can only be used as a reference, and now we are in good shape, so we naturally have the strength to fight, even if the probability is only one percent, we should do our best to fight for it, after all, the result of the game is unpredictable......"

Messi's remarks were immediately supported by the Catalan media, who felt that today's Messi was different from the past, and he looked very strong!

In the face of Messi's justification, the Valencian media had no choice but to give up.

On the contrary, the media in Madrid have cynicism about Pep Guardiola and Messi.

The visitors' regular press conference is followed by the home team's regular press conference.

In this regard, the head coaches Ancelotti and Iello who attended the press conference were quite calm and calm, as if the next step was not the Spanish national derby, which the world is concerned about, but an ordinary league.

As the time for the match drew closer, more and more media reporters captured the wonderful footage outside the Mestalla stadium, and many fans were interviewed by reporters.

As the time of the match approached, the Barcelona fans waiting on the periphery of the stadium seemed to feel a lot of pressure and clashed with the home fans as they wandered around.

Fortunately, the on-call security personnel at the stadium reacted quickly, otherwise there would have been a live fight before the national derby.

The Valencia and Barcelona national derby kicks off at the Mestalla Stadium at 8pm Spanish time on March 2.

Two hours before the start of the game, the stadium entry manager allowed fans to enter and set up the atmosphere.

However, not all fans will be allowed to enter, and only die-hard home fans will be allowed to enter the stadium two hours in advance to set up the atmosphere in the stands and put enough pressure on the visiting team.

The atmosphere at the Mestalla Stadium is naturally set by the 'Bat Guards', an extreme Valencian fan group that occupies the sacred North Stand, where a huge poster of Iello comes to life, like an emperor reigning over the world.

An hour before the start of the game, away fans are allowed to enter the stadium.

At this time, the players from both sides of the game also entered the court to warm up.

Iello and Messi were the key players in this game, and naturally attracted the most attention.

However, this stadium is the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, and all you can hear from the stands is cheers for Iro, while Messi can only hear boos......

Of course, it was Sergio Busquets who booed the most.

The current Busquets is almost equal to a mortal enemy in the minds of Valencia fans!

In this context, the 26th round of the 2010-2011 La Liga season is coming at the Mestalla Stadium.

With 20 minutes to go before the start of the game, the warm-up players from both sides went into the dressing room to follow the manager's final arrangement, while the substitutes decided to stay on the pitch to warm up or return to the bench according to their own requirements.

Of course, it's okay to follow along to the locker room.

The visiting players who entered the dressing room were clearly feeling the pressure from the game, very depressed.

Ready Guardiola glanced at the eleven starters present, with Valdés, Mascherano and Sergio Busquets being the least confident.

Guardiola shook his head secretly.

Fortunately, Messi's eyes were full of fighting spirit, so he nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I know what everyone is thinking now, but I want everyone to put each other's battles aside, just remember that we and Valencia are only four points in the league, if we win the league, then the gap between them is only one point, then there is still hope for this season's league title, vice versa...... We can only accept the bitter fruit of being runners-up in the league! ”

Many players, you look at me, I look at you, obviously they are not very confident about the future results.

In this regard, manager Pep Guardiola and assistant coach Vilanova are not too good at it.

At this moment, Messi stood up and said: "I want to say a few words to everyone. ”

Everyone's attention was naturally attracted by Messi, and they all looked over.

Messi has always given them the impression that he rarely speaks, and he reacts more in action.

'I know what's going on in people's minds, to be honest, I'm also worried, I'm worried that I won't play well in the game and the team will lose, and this time it's the same, but we can't afford not to do nothing, the fans want us to get three points and close the gap on Valencia, the top of the table, this is a great opportunity, otherwise this season's title will be missed, I don't like that feeling, I'm sure no one here likes that feeling......"

Pep Guardiola stood next to the team and listened to Messi, the satisfaction on his face becoming more and more obvious.

He knows that the current Messi is different from the Messi in the past, and the current Messi has a kind of responsibility, and as the team's number one star, he should show it like this.

Being too depressed is counterproductive, as was the case with Messi in the past.

Pep Guardiola is starting to have confidence in this national derby, because Messi can give him a sense of security - the enemy is strong, I am stronger!

About seven minutes into the game, players from both sides came to the players' tunnel one after another under the reminder of the assistant referee.

The broadcast camera of the game began to switch in at this time, and the commentator of the on-site commentary seat began his own broadcast commentary, explaining and analyzing the recent situation, status, and winning rate of the two sides of the game.

However, many commentators have focused on the relationship between the players on both sides of the game, especially Sergio Busquets......
