897 The start of the perfect season
"Do you want to think again?"
On the team's bus to Camp Nou, Yang Cheng turned from the front row, looked at Messi and Iniesta with a concerned face, and asked their opinions, that is, in the next Super Cup, should they avoid it?
As early as when the team arrived in Barcelona, there was already a group of Barcelona fans who frantically attacked the Real Madrid bus, and some even attacked Messi and Iniesta, calling them traitors to the team, believing that they had betrayed Barcelona.
The team has made demands on FC Barcelona and the police, and they will focus on strengthening the protection of Real Madrid and Real Madrid players in this game, after all, this is not just Real Madrid's business, in case something happens to the away team, Barcelona will be responsible.
But even so, Yang Cheng is still a little worried about the situation of Messi and Iniesta.
Messi and Iniesta glanced at each other and both shook their heads in refusal.
"Thank you...... Boss, but ......" Messi smiled helplessly, sooner or later it is a knife, it is better to come early than late.
"We're all professionals!" Andres Iniesta is sure.
Yang Cheng nodded, "I have no doubt about that!" After finishing speaking, he smiled appreciatively at the two of them and turned around.
He was somewhat impressed by the courage of the two players, and he didn't expect them to be so tough, which is indeed commendable, especially at this moment of the limelight, they still dare to play, which is enough to confirm their courage and determination.
When the team's bus arrived at the entrance of the passage at the Camp Nou, there were crowds of Barcelona fans waiting around to see the Real Madrid bus. Immediately, one by one, they rushed angrily against the policemen who were blocking them, but the two rows of policemen formed a line and held the passage to the death.
Yang Cheng was the first to get off the bus, and he was greeted by overwhelming insults, but he didn't react at all, and he didn't further stimulate this group of fans, but chose to walk directly into the players' tunnel.
The players who followed Yang Cheng stepped off the bus one by one. When the Barcelona fans saw Messi and Iniesta walking down, the scene suddenly went crazy, and all the Barcelona fans almost unreasonably rampaged, trying to break through the police blockade, forcing the police to hold hands and line up in a row.
"Hurry up and get in!" The staff at the Camp Nou nervously urged him as he looked at Messi and Iniesta. It's a little unusual, because this time they are wearing the jerseys of their sworn rivals Real Madrid, but the staff also understands that without their switch to Real Madrid, Barcelona doesn't know what the situation would be like now.
Messi and Andres Iniesta walked into the tunnel, and then the door of the tunnel was closed, and the police began to retreat to the front of the gate to prevent anyone from entering the tunnel and preventing fans from entering the dressing room.
But this is only a prologue that took place before the first leg of the Super Cup.
…………
…………
Yang Cheng has been secretly practicing Real Madrid's 3133 tactics for some time recently. Although Harvey? Alonso's injury had an impact on the team, but Yang Cheng used De La Red to move forward to play in the midfield, and then let Thiago? Silva played as a central defender and the team performed very well.
In this game, he also played as the main force, and the goalkeeper was Casillas. The backline is Arbeloa, Thiago? Silva and Ramos. De La Reid at the back and David in the midfield? Silva, Kaka and Andres Iniesta, and the front three are Ronaldo, Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi.
The reason why Yang Cheng uses Arbeloa at the back instead of other central defenders. The reason is actually quite simple, as he found out after many matches. Defenders like Arbeloa and Sergio Ramos, who have strong defensive qualities and can play as wing-backs and centre-backs, are clearly more suited to play on either side of a back three. …,
Of course, Pepe and Kompany are also good, but Yang Cheng's Real Madrid wants the best!
After this period of running-in, Real Madrid's 3133 tactics have been run in place, and the amazing performance of the game is full of expectations for Real Madrid's new season, especially this powerful tactic full of attacking power.
No one will forget last season's Champions League final, Real Madrid completely suppressed Chelsea in the half-time, and Chelsea barely had any power to fight back in the 90 minutes of the game, which was definitely one of the most overwhelming victories in the Champions League final, although it was only 1:0, but Real Madrid's absolute advantage was very obvious.
Now with Messi and Iniesta, the overall strength of Real Madrid has been greatly improved, how competitive this 3133 tactic can be, everyone is full of expectations, especially in this game, Real Madrid is a guest at Camp Nou.
As the champion of the Champions League last season, Real Madrid did not play any official matches after winning the Champions League, so according to the rules, before the game, the whole Barcelona team appeared in the players' tunnel to line up to welcome Real Madrid.
Head coach Vilanova lined up with players such as Puyol, Xavi and Pique to greet Real Madrid, especially when Messi and Iniesta came on the field, everyone was embarrassed, the fans in the stands booed, and the players were stiff, not knowing what kind of reception should be given to the two "traitors", and finally shook hands.
With the departure of Messi, Andres Iniesta and Alves, the star-studded Barcelona has now lost its past shine, and the squad is full of players from the second team.
The lineup of this game, the goalkeeper is Valdés, the back line is Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Adriano, the three midfielders are Busquets, Xavi and Keita, and the front three are Pedro, Torres and Fabregas, and the small law has become the biggest beneficiary after Messi and Iniesta left.
Vilanova's tactics have also been running in all summer, and now he is taking it out, facing Real Madrid, he doesn't have much confidence, but at the beginning, he wanted to take advantage of the home field and frustrate Real Madrid's sharpness in one go. After all, there are too many stars in this Real Madrid team, which is not necessarily a good thing.
However, in the 13th minute of the game, Torres took the ball in front of the court to break through, but after being successfully cut off by Ramos, he passed to Iniesta, who was immediately booed by the whole stadium as soon as he got the ball. In Yang Cheng's words, Messi and Iniesta blocked the fire of Barcelona fans for him.
Iniesta, who wore a white Real Madrid shirt, was obviously not affected by the boos, he happened to meet Keita's post when he got the ball, and saw him break through with a nimble dribble, easily get rid of Keita's entanglement, dribble forward, and pass to Messi's feet just right.
Messi knows Abidal well. He knew how to pull Abidal and Pique, so he deftly ran to the middle, received Iniesta's direct pass, calmly dribbled the ball and suddenly inserted, broke through to the right edge of the zone, left Abidal behind, attracted Pique to fill in the position, and picked up the back point of the zone.
Xiao Xiao Luo plugged in, using his body and high superiority to suppress Puyol. jumped high and smashed Messi's close-range pass into the goal guarded by Valdés, 1:0!
After the Portuguese scored, he excitedly rushed out of the Barcelona zone and rushed to the corner flagstick. His hands clenched into fists and roared.
Real Madrid's players are catching up one by one. Congratulations to Xiao Xiaoluo's goal, only Messi and Iniesta, both of whom lowered their heads and slowly walked towards their own half. It was clear that they were the culminator in this goal. But they weren't ready to celebrate. ..., because the opponent they beat was Barcelona!
Without Iniesta, the midfield combination of Keita and Xavi has never been able to achieve a seamless connection, and Barcelona's midfield was easily broken by Real Madrid, resulting in a disconnect between the three lines, while Real Madrid firmly suppressed Barcelona in the 32-meter area and carried out a round of indiscriminate bombardment.
But Barcelona is bigger than a horse in the end, although Messi, Iniesta and Alves are gone, but the current Barcelona is still full of a group of powerful stars, Keita, Fabregas, Adriano and other players are not as dazzling as Messi, but they are also famous and powerful players.
When this Barcelona team stubbornly defended the goal, Real Madrid's attack was also contained, and it was not available for a while.
Until the 54th minute of the second half, Real Madrid played flexibly on the right side, Messi ran to the middle without the ball, Kaka stepped forward, Aguero pulled to the right side to get the ball, the Argentine striker picked up Kaka, the Brazilian stuck Pique with his body, and the header was ferried to the opponent's defense and handed to Messi's feet.
Messi got the ball right under the sandwich of Puyol, Busquets and Pique, but Messi calmly parked the ball to his left side, made a gesture to break to the left, and made a very secret, but really feint, as if to insert through the gap between Puyol and Busquets.
Puyol and Busquets undoubtedly know Messi very well, but between the lightning and fire on the field, they can't tell for a moment whether Messi is really going to break through to the left or a feint, they can only rely on instinctive reaction to shift the center of gravity to the left, hoping to block Messi.
But Messi is small, his feet are very flexible and skillful, the ball is always within his control, as soon as he saw that he had deceived Puyol and Busquets, he buckled with his left foot, and the whole person stopped his pace and changed his yearning to speed up in the area.
Puyol was the first to react, he had already defended Messi, so he immediately made a tackle, but Messi obviously knew him very well, and deliberately slowed down by half a beat, avoiding Puyol's foot, forcing the latter to lose his balance and fall to the ground, and then dribble the ball next to Puyol to the area.
Messi's explosiveness in the short range forced Busquets and Pique to catch up with him, and it all happened in the blink of an eye, and when Valdés reacted, Messi had already reached the same level as the penalty spot, and the Barcelona goalkeeper barely hesitated to abandon the goal.
Messi calmly chose to push, and the ball went from the left side of Valdés, quickly in a straight line, into the goal behind Valdés, and Keita, who kept chasing back, finally caught up with the ball, but it was in the goal line, and he himself crashed into the net, 2:0!
The whole Camp Nou stadium has fallen silent!
All the Barcelona players and fans watched in amazement, watching their former heroes now wear the jerseys of their sworn enemies. It pierced their Barcelona goal, which made them feel helpless, irritated and ashamed.
Messi was also visibly stunned for a moment after scoring the goal, and then he hung his head as he did for the rest of the game. He walked back silently, without the slightest celebration, without the slightest strange behavior, just like that, as if he had not entered the door at all.
Real Madrid's players were still celebrating another goal, but when they saw Messi like this, they all stopped celebrating. Kaka, who was the closest, was the first to walk up and put his arm on Messi's shoulders to comfort the Argentine, then Andres Iniesta, and finally all the Real Madrid players walked up to comfort Messi.
On the contrary, the Barcelona players are standing stupidly on the pitch, which should be what they should do, but now they are deprived of this power, because Messi has worn a completely different jersey from them. ..., from the moment Messi put on the shirt of Real Madrid, they were destined to be enemies, and it was difficult to become comrades again!
No Barcelona fans booed and humiliated Messi anymore. Because they saw Messi walking back with his head down, his short body seemed to bear a thousandfold burden, this image gave people an indescribable sense of sadness, and people couldn't help but feel in their hearts that this was just a pitiful worm!
Yang Cheng quickly made a substitution, replacing Messi with Mata. And then it didn't take long. Canales replaced Iniesta with Cannales, all of which were counter-substitutions, while Real Madrid always maintained strong control on the pitch and firmly bombarded Barcelona's goal.
But in the end. Real Madrid still failed to break through Barcelona's goal again and could only accept a 2-0 victory.
Everyone can see it. From this game, it can be fully felt that the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is constantly widening, especially after Messi and Iniesta joined Real Madrid, it is even more of a situation, and the departure of Alves has further weakened Barcelona's strength.
Today's Barcelona team is difficult to compete with Real Madrid, and it is even difficult to make a difference in the European arena.
As Vilanova admitted in his post-match press conference, Barcelona's biggest goal this season is to ensure the stability of the team, and he has generously admitted that Real Madrid will book the La Liga title this season in advance, while Barcelona will aim for a runners-up.
Yang Cheng was satisfied with the player's performance and explained why he replaced Messi halfway.
'Both he and Andres have been under a lot of pressure in this game and I'm sure all the managers want to protect their players from injury and I think the scouting of them has served its purpose, so I brought them off and rested them, but they will continue to have the opportunity to prove themselves in the next Bernabeu Cup.
Sure enough, Yang Cheng played again in the Bernabeu Cup against Galatasaray in midweek, with Messi and Andres Iniesta getting the chance to play again, but the rest of the positions were rotated in relative terms, with some players who played the full game in the first leg of the Super Cup not playing in this game.
Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta continued their excellent form in the first leg of the Super Cup, scoring again against Galatasaray and Andres Iniesta setting up Villa's goal, both of whom showed admirable quality and were quick to integrate into Real Madrid's overall tactics and hardly needed any run-in to get into the groove.
With the excellent performance of these two players, coupled with Parejo's assist for Villa's brace, Real Madrid finally beat Galatasaray 3-0 and won the Bernabeu Cup again.
At the weekend, Real Madrid welcomed the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Yang Cheng's lineup has not changed much compared to the first leg, that is, Villa, who was in excellent form in the Bernabeu Cup, replaced Aguero, and Xavi, who returned from injury? Alonso replaced De La Reid at the back and the rest of the position remained the same.
With 15 minutes played, Real Madrid took the lead.
After Messi got rid of Busquets's entanglement with the ball in the midfield, he sent a straight stopper, and after Iniesta, who was inserted in the back, won the ball at the front of the area, faced Valdés, who attacked, calmly singled out the goal, and opened the scoring for Real Madrid, 1:0!
After the goal, Iniesta was cheered and cheered by all the Real Madrid fans in the stands, but he himself, like Messi, did not celebrate in the slightest, and walked back to his own half with an indifferent face, obviously he was not ready to celebrate when he scored the Barcelona goal, because he still had a lot of feelings about the team that cultivated him.
In the 20th minute, Real Madrid scored again, this time it was a close-range draw from the neighborhood that broke Valdés' goal for Real Madrid, 2:0.
Real Madrid looked out of control, and Barcelona, who were already at a disadvantage, were even worse at the Bernabeu, and in the second half, Villa's goal completely helped Barcelona win the game.
3:0!
With a proud record of 5:0 on aggregate over two legs, Real Madrid rightfully defeated Barcelona at the Bernabeu Stadium and successfully won the Spanish Super Cup, which also became Real Madrid's first championship trophy in the new season!
As promised by the Real Madrid players on the club's official website, this season will be a perfect one, they will do everything in their power to win every game, and use the best results to see off their manager, and they hope to give Yang Cheng a successful season.
"We sincerely hope that Real Madrid, which we are composing, can become the pride of our most respected leaders, and make them proud that they have coached such a Real Madrid team!"
This is undoubtedly the voice of the players, and they will also give their own effort and sweat for this! (To be continued)
