La Liga = Real Madrid + Barcelona!

This equation has been agreed upon by almost all La Liga fans all over the world, because at least in the past ten years, in La Liga, there is really no team qualified to challenge the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona, especially in the last four years, Real Madrid's supremacy is very obvious.

The Premier League and Serie A are the champions of the group, the Bundesliga is also Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Kaiserslautern three countries, Ligue 1 is the chaos of the world, only La Liga, will always be a double hero, and now there is even a trend of evolving into a one-man show of Real Madrid.

Because of this, everyone says that to focus on La Liga, in fact, there are only two games to focus on, that is, the century derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, in their opinion, the century derby is like a knockout round of two legs, whoever wins these two games will be eligible to win the championship.

Because of this, the Century Derby has always been the highlight of La Liga, which makes the Century Derby receive more and more attention year by year, the star lineup of the two teams is increasing year by year, and the attention is rising at the same time, the market value and appeal are also constantly rising, and the ratings are constantly hitting record highs.

According to the pre-match survey, the live broadcast signal of the two Century Derbies this season will cover every part of the world, and the viewers watching the live broadcast will be conservatively estimated to exceed 700 million, not potential viewers, but viewers watching the live broadcast, which makes the Century Derby attract attention on a par with the World Cup final.

This is also the most expensive derby of the century ever, Real Madrid players are worth more than 900 million euros, Barcelona is also more than 600 million, this sum is more than any match in the world, and the contract break fee of the players on both sides will exceed 5 billion euros, in the words of World Sport, in exchange for gold, can cover every inch of turf at the Camp Nou.

Off-field factors aside, let's talk about football. Real Madrid and Barcelona are also among the best in world football, hailed as the two strongest teams on the planet, and such a matchup is often only seen in La Liga.

With Real Madrid always adhering to the competitive concept with Yang Cheng as the core in the past five years, Barcelona has experienced a change of coach in the summer. Vilanova replaced Pep Guardiola and started La Liga with an impressive record of 11 wins and 1 loss, which would have been unbeatable in other leagues, but in La Liga, Real Madrid has always been ahead of Barcelona.

On top of that, both La Liga teams are very technical and teamwork. All represent the highest level of football now, which makes such a strong dialogue never feel dull, and it must be a top visual feast that is proud of football.

In fact, the game that really happened at the Camp Nou was indeed very exciting, although the score was still 0:0 after the first half of the game, no one could deny the wonderful details of the game.

…………

…………

"It was a very good game. Although we have yet to score a goal, we can fully feel the fast-paced transition between attack and defense of the two teams, as well as the well-targeted tactical battle. This is truly an epic showdown! ”

"Real Madrid's lineup in this game is no different from before, Casillas plays goalkeeper, and the back line is Marcelo and Thiago? Silva, Pepe and McConn, with Xavi at the back? Alonso and De La Red, attacking the attacking defenders respectively, Ronaldo, Juan Mata and David? Silva, the single striker is Sergio Aguero. ”

"This lineup is also the strongest lineup that Yang Cheng can arrange at present, Kaka's absence due to injury will definitely have a certain impact on Real Madrid, but the strong bench thickness of this team ensures the steady operation of the team's entire tactical system." …,

"But Vilanova had an interesting line-up for this game, with Valdés in goal, and Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Alves at the back. In midfield, Keita, Sergio Busquets and Xavi were arranged, and the trident was a combination of Andres Iniesta, Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi. ”

"But what's interesting is that Keita replaced Pedro and let Andres Iniesta play on the left, while Keita was in midfield, targeting Xavi all over the field? Alonso. () It is equivalent to arranging a man-to-man tactic and specifically assigning Keita to mark Xavi? Alonso, snibbling Real Madrid's backfield organization. ”

"If it's just like this, it will definitely not be difficult for Real Madrid, but Barcelona directly launched strong pressing and crazy pressing after the opening this time, which made Barcelona, which has a certain advantage in physical fitness, naturally occupy a certain advantage, and at the same time use its own advantages to suppress Real Madrid."

"Fatigue is always a team's worst enemy, Real Madrid have been fighting on multiple fronts, Barcelona have a week of rest, and they have successfully contained Real Madrid's attack in the game through the dynamic and aggressive high-pressing tactics of frantic pressing all over the field."

Speaking of which, the stats for both sides of the first half were shown on live TV, the most notable of which was in the defensive column.

"We can see that Barcelona had a total of 21 tackles and 14 fouls in the first half, which is a very unbelievable statistic, from the feet of Barcelona, they pressed the opponent very quickly, they moved quickly and competently, and immediately after breaking the ball, they launched a counterattack and formed a lightning attack."

"The physical disadvantage, the players are relatively tired Real Madrid is in a very disadvantageous situation in this situation, especially after the loss of the start, although Yang Cheng has made adjustments one after another, but Barcelona played very fast and did not give Real Madrid a chance to breathe, Vilanova is obviously going to use this fast-paced pressing and pressing, and use physical strength to drag down Real Madrid."

"Usually, when Barcelona is running and pressing all over the field, completely disrupting the situation on the pitch, Real Madrid should have a calm, can hold the ball in the midfield, to control the tempo, to ensure Real Madrid's control of the game, usually this kind of thing is done by Xavi? Alonso to finish, de la Red, Thiago? Silva or even David? Silva can assist, but now, Keita is close to Xavi? Alonso was struggling. ”

'Keita acts like a disruptor up front, he's following Xavi closely? Alonso, juggling Xavi? Alonso, who is also defending the area he has visited, knows that Real Madrid emphasize touching the ball, but he does not seek to break the ball, but does everything he can. Forcing Harvey? Alonso had to get the ball out as soon as possible to reduce Xavi? Alonso's forward pass threatens the ball. ”

'Sergio Busquets protects the backline, Xavi roams in Xavi? Alonso, De La Reid and David? The area between Silva, plus Torres, Iniesta and Messi. Barcelona formed a strong pressure and restriction in their midfield, effectively curbing the operation of Real Madrid's midfield. ”

Summarizing and analyzing this, the on-site commentator has to admit one thing, "Vilanova's tactics are very successful, very good to limit Real Madrid's attack and midfield operation, 0:0 is the best evidence, after all, there are not many teams in football that can effectively contain Real Madrid's attack." ”

"Of course. Only a team like Barcelona can keep up with the pace and rhythm of Real Madrid, after all, both La Liga teams are known for their high pressing and technical skills, but Vilanova must also be careful, Yang Cheng did not make too obvious changes in the first half, but he is better at making a force at halftime. ”

"In the first half, it can be said that Barcelona occupied a certain advantage on the basis of the right time and place, but it was very passive on the field, but in the second half, Yang Cheng will definitely do everything he can. Trying to turn the initiative into a threat and then form a goal, you have to be more careful than Lanova. The race has just begun! ..., after the analysis of the live commentators, the live TV broadcast also officially entered the intermission.

I believe that at this moment, all fans around the world are paying attention and are concerned about whether Yang Cheng still has a chance to lead his Real Madrid to win a victory and continue to maintain the victory against Barcelona in such a decisive battle, under the constraints of many unfavorable factors such as the player's physical disadvantage and the away game.

…………

"You're doing a great job!" After returning to the locker room, it was obvious that Yang Cheng felt the fatigue of the players.

Even Xiao Xiaoluo, who has the best physical fitness, gasped for breath, which showed the lack of physical fitness. Barcelona, on the other hand, had seven days to prepare for the game and were able to adjust their physical and fitness condition to the best of their ability, but Real Madrid had played two games in a row in the past week, and another game against Sevilla in midweek, which was too tired.

In this case. What the players need is encouragement and support.

"The passivity of the first half, all the blame is on me!" Yang Cheng walked between the two rows of players and took the initiative to take all the responsibility, "You guys did a very good job, I'm very satisfied with you, we have a certain advantage, we just can't form a threat, but we have to change this situation in the second half!" ”

Yang Cheng happened to come to the front of the tactical board, he put the tablet in his hand on the table, the tactical board had already been drawn for him by a coach before, and now he directly took the pen to arrange it, after all, time is very tight.

"Barcelona's pressing and pressing tactics were in place, very successful and caused us a lot of problems, especially Xavi!" Yang Cheng pointed to Harvey? Alonso, "I think you did a good job, but in the second half you have to be further back, drop back a little bit and even go straight into the defence if you need to. ”

"It's good that Vilanova has Keita to keep an eye on you, but I definitely don't believe he dares to follow you back so deep, so if you retreat to a deep position, you will definitely have more space to dispatch and direct the team's attack!"

Harvey? Alonso's strength is his precise long-form transfer, which can even allow him to drop back behind the defence to continue his function at some crucial moments without affecting the overall functioning of the team.

"If Harvey? If Alonso retreats to a deep position, Pepe, you have to press me forward! Yang Cheng explained.

Pepe nodded in agreement, "I know how to do it, boss!" ”

"De La Red!" Yang Cheng pointed to Real Madrid's midfield, "There are too many connections between Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets, move your position forward, to the right, choke them for me, even if you can't form a break and interception, you have to give me to resist them outside our threat area, McCone has to go forward more and suppress this piece!" ”

saw Yang Cheng draw a circle on the left side of Barcelona's midfield, corresponding to the right side of Real Madrid, and he observed that Barcelona's counterattacks almost all came out from this side.

"David? Silva is at the back, a little in the middle, closer to De La Red, contacting Xavi? Alonso and the backline, as well as helping De La Red, combing the midfield. These are your responsibilities! ”

"Barcelona have a lot of problems defending on the right side, Marcelo, you can go forward and get involved in the attack and suppress the opponent's right side. Abidal's form in this game is very average, and there are problems with the combination with Pique, Mata, in the second half you go to the left, Ronaldo goes back to the right, we tear up their defense from the left in the second half! ”

As long as the midfielder can withstand the pressure, then Marcelo will not have the slightest problem on the left side. Because of the relatively backward position of Barcelona's midfield, Messi's position is also relatively far away from his threat area, and he is more in the middle, responsible for connecting the forward line and the midfield area. ..., in fact, Barcelona's tactics in this game are to put it bluntly, that is, defensive counterattacks, especially when Real Madrid has the advantage, the contraction of this team is still very tight, in this case, as long as McCone and De La Red can choke Barcelona's counterattack on the left side. Then Real Madrid's left side will certainly be able to form a threat.

And this has the added benefit of liberating Harvey? Alonso, let Real Madrid's control return again!

…………

…………

"It's really not a loss to Yang Cheng!"

As the situation unfolded in the second half. Vilanova immediately noticed that the situation at Barcelona was becoming more and more passive, and the game was getting tougher, especially in midfield.

David? Silva is a very special player, he can play wide or middle, he can pass the ball, he can break through, he can also drop back to play, he is a very, very well-rounded midfielder, and after he dropped back, he played very well, he completely filled Xavi? Alonso's vulnerability.

One was able to get rid of the ball. And re-insert wings on the ball, ensure Real Madrid's control of the ball, plus a player behind him who controls the rhythm, sorts out the attack and defense, and is good at long-distance transfer? Alonso, Real Madrid's midfield movement changed a way. It's running smoothly again.

"His ability to handle this Real Madrid team is simply like an arm, the Real Madrid players are in his hands, he uses them superbly, and his ability to control the game is also extraordinary......" Roura, the assistant standing next to Vilanova, smiled helplessly, "...... We are indeed too far behind him! ”

Villanova looked at his right-hand man and best friend, and felt a little unwilling, but there were very few people who could get such a high evaluation from him, at least he had heard Holdy so far? There are only two managers who give such a high evaluation to Roura, one is Yang Cheng and the other is Ferguson.

Roula came from Barcelona and was once an assistant to Lexach before returning to Barcelona to become Pep Guardiola's right-hand man, which is unknown to others, but Vilanova himself knows it, and this close friend has excellent tactical research and analysis.

Unlike during Pep Guardiola's time, after Vilanova came to power, his opponent analysis team has changed from one to three, with Roula in charge, and the other two are coaches who have proven themselves in some other teams, both have rich experience, and the work team they formed has also proven their strength in the past period of time.

It can be said that Barcelona have been able to maintain their current form and ranking this season, and the tactical team of this trio has been instrumental, especially Roura, and the game against Real Madrid has been the most important thing for Barcelona this season, they have been analysing this team long before the start of the season, all the way to the present.

What they didn't expect was that the coaches, who already knew everything about Real Madrid, were still a little surprised and admired by Yang Cheng's midfield changes, at least Yang Cheng's every change was to the point, and in the case of ensuring the team's smooth ball advancement, they just suppressed Barcelona's defense and offense.

The most incredible thing is that Yang Cheng has not made substitutions, and directly adjusted the responsibilities of the players on the field, which undoubtedly proves Yang Cheng's own strong tactical skills, as well as his familiarity and understanding of the characteristics of the current Real Madrid players.

If Villanova and Roula had known the Chinese proverb at this time, they might have sighed.

Three stinkers, really can't match one Zhuge Liang!

"Keita's role is already very small, do you want to replace it?" Roula asked, looking at Billanova.

Harvey? Alonso is now dropping back to the deep position to get the ball, that is, around the defence, which makes it difficult for Keita to press up, and if Messi is used instead, it will undoubtedly cause loosening in other positions.

This is where the disadvantages of man-to-man are reflected, especially in the current football tactical system, you can't use man-marking uncontrollably, you can only use it in a specific environment and a specific area.

This set of tactics was developed by their coaching team for a long time of observation and simulation, and it was very targeted, and it was indeed suppressed by Real Madrid in the first half, coupled with the physical advantage, it can be said that it was full of threat, but after Yang Cheng's large-scale adjustments and changes, the role of this set of tactics was seriously weakened.

It means that these people have been doing useless work for more than half a year!

Vilanova glanced at the bench behind him, and Cesc Fabregas just happened to look at him, and the two looked at each other, but Vilanova quickly turned back to the pitch, and the latter hung his head in disappointment, it was clear that Vilanova was not ready to let him play.

In this game, for Barcelona, defense is the key!

"Wait, let's take a look first, I always feel that Yang Cheng still has a back hand, let Keita retreat a little, and strengthen the defense and interception of the midfield!"

Ensuring that you don't concede a goal is the way to go!

At least in Vilanova's view, after losing so many years in a row before Barcelona, he lost so badly, and if the first derby of the century of his first season led the team could draw with Real Madrid, it would be very good! (To be continued......)
