Ahead of the 234th National Derby, Real Madrid officials have finally announced a move that will delight Bosque.

20 million euros to bring in the midfielder of Premier League club Portsmouth, Lasana Diarra!

The signings will be targeted to strengthen Real Madrid's midfield defence.

It's just a pity that he won't be able to come to the Bernabeu until January.

December 13 at 10 p.m.

The Camp Nou was packed, and Barcelona's anthem reverberated in the stadium!

Finally, the 234th National Derby has arrived!

Real Madrid and Barcelona players stood in the tunnel waiting for the game to start.

Compared with the previous two seasons, the current Barcelona players are full of confidence, and the feng shui turns around, and when they arrive at Real Madrid, they begin to show some mourning momentum of fighting against the water.

Messi and Qin Xiong, who were standing behind the captain, happened to be side by side, and the two turned their heads to look at each other in tacit understanding, and invariably raised the corners of their mouths with a little excitement after retracting their gaze.

Finally, finally, finally to meet!

When the players from both teams walked onto the pitch, the home atmosphere at the Camp Nou reached a small climax, and they used their support for Barcelona to overpower the defending champions and rivals Real Madrid!

"Welcome to Camp Nou, where the 15th round of La Liga is about to be played out in the spotlight of all over Europe and the world!

234th Spanish National Derby!

Real Madrid, the defending champions who made a name for themselves last season, visited the Camp Nou to challenge the hosts here, and Barcelona, who are now known as the devil's team!

Some media have shouted that Barcelona can replicate the glory of Real Madrid last season, but young coach Pep Guardiola is very cautious about this. He thinks one game has the potential to change the whole situation. Therefore, players should guard against arrogance and rashness!

Now in the standings, Barcelona are as many as eight points ahead of defending champions Real Madrid. This game is Real Madrid's best chance to close the gap with their arch-rivals, but the outside world is not optimistic about Real Madrid's game.

Real Madrid, which has been stumbling all the way since the new season, has not only been affected by injuries, but also the terrifying momentum of last season has also been curbed, and there is a world of difference from Barcelona's form that has been consolidated and strengthened since the new season!

But the national derby is always special, and no one knows what will happen in the game, so let's wait and see!

Let's talk about the starters of both sides.

Barcelona started 433.

Goalkeeper: Valdés.

Defenders: Alves, Marcos, Puyol. Abidal.

Midfielders: Toure, Xavi, Iniesta.

Forwards: Messi, Eto'o, Pedro.

Real Madrid started 442.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Salgado, Metzelde, Cannavaro, Ramos.

Midfielders: Robben, Guti, Gago. Van der Vaart.

Forwards: Qin Xiong, Raul.

Bosque today in order to strengthen the defense. In the back line, Marcelo, who was strong and weak, did not play, but used Ramos to switch to the left side to defend against Messi, Metzelder turned slowly and the declining Cannavaro plus the aging Salgado, Real Madrid's defense really made people sweat for them, plus there is no full-time defensive back, I don't know if they can resist Barcelona's powerful attack.

The tournament is about to begin, so let's enjoy the 234th Spanish National Derby! ”

Just before the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, a deafening shout of tens of thousands of people erupted at the Camp Nou.

"Barcelona! Barcelona! Barcelona! ”

It was as if there was a solemn aura sweeping through the arena!

Messi and Eto'o stood in the middle circle, and their fighting spirit soared invisibly!

After the referee's whistle, Samuel Eto'o kicked off, Messi passed the ball back to Andres Iniesta behind him, and Raul quickly ran up to press it.

Andres Iniesta played the ball back to Xavi, who split it up and went wide before Abidal passed it straight to Pedro in front.

Salgado and Guti were about to go to the defense, but Pedro passed the ball diagonally back to Xavi's feet, and Xavi passed diagonally to the right side to give the ball to Messi.

Messi dribbled two steps horizontally, observed the movement tendency of Real Madrid's defenders, and found that Gago and Ramos rushed up, he made a one-two with Iniesta and then inserted diagonally behind Gago, at this time Guti and Gago had been pulled away, and he had enough space to cut diagonally into the middle.

As soon as Iniesta passed the ball to Messi's feet, Ramos's ferocious pressing knocked Messi to the ground!

The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Ramos, and the referee did not show Ramos a yellow card after Xavi's protest.

Camp Nou immediately erupted in a monstrous boo!

Express dissatisfaction with the referee.

Real Madrid will be very sober, if the defense to limit Barcelona in a decent way, I am afraid it will not be possible to achieve the expected effect of the defense.

It will take enough blood and aggression to have any hope of disrupting Barcelona's fluid attack.

Ramos' foul was not unintentional, but premeditated!

Xavi's free-kick was punched out of the box by Casillas, where Van der Vaart controlled the ball and was about to turn when Xavi rushed from behind and fell to the ground!

Barcelona also fouled!

Xavi told the referee that his foul was an unintentional mistake, and the Barcelona players quickly retreated to the back to set up their defence.

Pep Guardiola watched the game with a calm look on his face on the sidelines.

His Barcelona also had a lot of fouls!

But the foul intent is very clear.

Tactical fouls!

This is rooted in the core concept of defense, and it is derived from high pressing.

When the high press cannot break the ball, it is necessary to contain the opponent's attack, so it is necessary to take fouls to give the defender enough time to return to the defensive zone without being hit by the opponent to play a quick counterattack.

Real Madrid took a free-kick at the back and organized a positional attack.

After three passes and two downs, the football came to Qin Xiong's feet.

He turned his back to Toure and turned to the right sideways, and Toure took a step sideways to the right, but just after he took a step, Qin Xiong stopped and turned around and knocked the ball to the left side of his body to break through!

Toure gently tugged on Qin Xiong's arm after turning around, delaying Qin Xiong's dribbling before stretching out his leg to block Qin Xiong's face.

Struggling to break free from Toure's entanglement, the ball at Qin Xiong's feet was out of control, and Puyol, who grabbed it, cleared the ball with a big foot, Qin Xiong turned around and complained to the referee, but the referee ignored him at all.

Thankfully, the goal was not picked up by the Barcelona players, as Salgado headed the ball over to Gago in midfield.

But Gago's pass was wrong.

He wanted to give Robben a ball at his feet, but Robben stepped forward and needed a through ball.

The ball rolled off the touchline and Real Madrid returned possession to Barcelona. (To be continued.) )
