Vol 4 Chapter 1077: Narrow path

If anything, Real Madrid and Barcelona are destined to be narrow-minded.
These two teams with centuries-old grudges have always been the flags of the La Liga. The duel between them is called the National Derby. It is now known as the Century Derby and has attracted the attention of the media and fans all over the world.
In the past years, every Century Derby has been the focus of the world ’s media and fans. Although the Spanish Football Association is not willing to admit it, in fact, La Liga will always give priority to Real Madrid when scheduling the season. The two games against Barcelona used to be arranged in December and April, which is exactly the key stage of the league.
But before, because Real Madrid and Barcelona both reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, resulting in four consecutive centuries of derby in a very short period of time, it is inevitable for anyone to have some aesthetic fatigue.
This season, the Spanish Football Association responded to public opinion and made adjustments to arrange the first match between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the seventh round. Correspondingly, the second match was arranged in the twenty-sixth round of La Liga.
Interestingly, both teams reached the King's Cup semi-finals this season, so at the end of February and early March, they ushered in two consecutive Century Derby and played the second round of the King's Cup semi-finals. Immediately afterwards, the second Century Derby was ushered in the league.
After playing the 26th round of the league, the two teams will immediately usher in the second round of the Champions League knockout round. Real Madrid ’s opponent is Shakhtar Donetsk. The first round of the two sides is two to two. Real Madrid draws away The Ukrainian team, and Barcelona's opponent is ac Milan, the two sides of the first round match is zero to two, Barcelona lost to ac Milan.
The two teams, similar devil schedules, and different situations have made the next two games full of suspense.
What's more terrible is that Barcelona coach Vilanova went to New York for treatment and recuperation due to recurrence of parotid cancer. He can only remotely control and command the team through TV video. Currently, assistant coach Lula temporarily leads the team.
Many people say that this period of time for Vilanova's treatment happened to be the time when Barcelona ushered in turmoil, but Barcelona players did not recognize this. Many Barcelona players, including Messi and Pique, believe that Vilanova's condition will only arouse Barcelona's fighting spirit. They will wait for the head coach to return and hope to help Vilanova win the heavyweight championship.
As a mortal enemy, Real Madrid maintains a grace for Vilanova's condition, and immediately sent support and encouragement, but on the court, Real Madrid will certainly not be merciless.
Because this is professional football!
…………
…………
Real Madrid have been fighting continuously for a period of time. The non-stop double-week match did not allow enough time for the team to adjust slowly. Even tactical analysis can only be arranged at night.
The night before the team faced Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid held a tactical analysis meeting in the hotel. Ancelotti let everyone watch the ac Milan sniper Barcelona game video, I hope everyone can understand the Red and Black Legion The reason for winning.
But after everyone watched the video and had a general impression in mind, the head coach gave his own ideas.
"This is a very classic, Italian-style defense. With a neat and orderly defensive formation of the whole team, plus a small range of encroachment, the opposing team made a counterattack on the spot after a pass error. We played this way. Not new. "
From Benitez to Ancelotti, the tactical ideas of these two coaches have a deep trace of Italian football, which is related to Benitez ’s study tour in Italy, so, Real Madrid has been in the past four Years have been implementing this set of defensive counterattack ideas, that is not an exaggeration.
"In this game, AC Milan retired relatively late, mainly focusing on the 30-meter front to the front of the penalty area. They deployed heavy troops here and took high-pressure oppression against Barcelona's three midfielders to curb the opponent's pass. In the course of the ball, once the ball is grabbed, the counterattack is launched at the first time, and a threat is formed. Both goals come like this. "
Combining the video of the game just now and the clips cut by Ancelotti, everyone will be more impressed with his explanations, and it is also easy to draw his own conclusions.
"As I have repeatedly stressed before, we should not easily fall into positional battles, because in the past few years, breaking intensive defense has been a common problem for all teams in the world, no matter who it is, neither us nor Barcelona. , There is no good, stable solution to this problem. "
Relying on the star's personal ability to solve the battle is definitely not a reliable solution, and even the sudden transfer of Real Madrid may not always work in the face of opponents who are really determined to guard against the dead.
"In the face of AC Milan's intensive defense, Barcelona's attack is still concentrated on the ribs. They still hope to control the scene through the midfield pass and pass the ball to the frontcourt. Neymar, Messi and Sanchez To solve the battle. "
"There is no doubt that this is a very simple tactic, but also very difficult to crack, because the personal abilities of the three players in front of them are very strong. After more than half a season of running-in, they formed a strong attack. . "
"And for this, the tactic adopted by AC Milan was to cut the three of them away so that they could not form an effective connection, and then be blocked by the number advantage inside and outside the penalty area, which eventually contained Barcelona ’s offensive tactics. None of the three superstars showed decent performance. "
When everyone heard this, they basically had a clear impression of why AC Milan could beat Barcelona.
"We are different from AC Milan. We can't put the defense back so far, so we need to play more aggressively. I hope to suppress Barcelona's midfielder from the center line to the 30m area to let them Can't easily pass the ball into our 30m zone. "
"After watching the video, I believe everyone has noticed that the running and covering abilities of the Barcelona players have declined. They are not as active as before. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. One is the excessively dense schedule, and the other is theirs. More obsessed with ball control, one is the absence of the head coach, and the other is the aging of players such as Harvey and Puyol. "
"We now not only have to consider the midweek King's Cup semi-finals, we also have to consider the weekend's league, and even the next week's Champions League round of 16 knockouts, because for Barcelona, ​​the King's Cup is definitely far less than the league and the Champions League. important."
Barcelona are three points behind Real Madrid in the league, which is a goal, but it is too slim to expect Real Madrid to lose to other teams, and it is quite unreliable, so they definitely hope to beat Real Madrid in Bernabeu and recover These three points.
Needless to say about the Champions League, Barcelona have n’t been able to get involved in the Champions League in the past few years, but now they lose to AC Milan 0-2 in the first round of the 16th round, which is undoubtedly a very bad result, forcing Barcelona to return to Camp Nou You have to win the opponent.
In this case, Barcelona's situation is much more difficult than Real Madrid, the pressure will be much greater.
Ancelotti's overall idea is still to continue to defend the counterattack tactics, which is currently the most effective way to restrain Barcelona, ​​but also the most familiar set of tactics for Real Madrid.
More importantly, there is a problem in this game of Real Madrid, that is, Aveloa can't get on, Marcelo is still in the weight loss and looking for the state stage, also will not rashly go up, the right road Carvajal continues Playing a game, and this time he faced Neymar, which is terrible.
As for Casillas, it was originally expected to be more than one and a half months, but now the team doctor's further diagnosis results show that it is good to come back at the end of March, which is also terrible for Real Madrid.
Diego Lopez is good, but whether it is from a stable military heart, from a tactical role, or from the field, he is still incomparable to Casillas.
In the subsequent free speech, Yang Yang proposed a possibility, that is, will Barcelona desperately attack at the opening?
"I think they are unlikely to play a protracted battle with us, which is very detrimental to them, because their lineup is not as thick as ours, and it is not difficult to see from this battle of AC Milan, Barcelona wants to crack this tactical play. There are only two ways to speed up the offensive, especially the rhythm of counterattack, and there is to increase the investment in counterattack in the midfield. "
"Three consecutive battles, and the first two are us again. I don't think Barcelona will want to consume slowly with us, which is not in line with the situation they are facing now."
Yang Yang ’s analysis reached the unanimous agreement of Ancelotti and Zidane. They also speculated that Barcelona will attack at the opening, and may even be very aggressive, because Real Madrid ’s defense is also very problematic this season. Especially after Casillas was injured.
Xavi Alonso also believes that Real Madrid should start the game for stability, and at the same time should strengthen the on-site anti-robbing after losing the ball. It must be the first time to grab the ball, or disrupt the ball control rhythm of Barcelona.
"We put the focus on the center line, according to Barcelona's habit, the back line must be pressed, and there will be a gap behind them, so as long as we grab the ball, we will pass forward as soon as possible. . "
Hearing Xavi Alonso's words, Yang Yang nodded confidently and smiled: "Relax, let it out, give it to me!"
Yang Yang promised so confidently that everyone in the audience could not help laughing, but no one would question him, because in the past few years, he has been the most troublesome nemesis of Barcelona.
How to deal with Barcelona's defense, how to deal with Barcelona's defenders, Yang Yang already has his own experience and experience, and he has a hunch that Barcelona will not arrange Mathieu in this game, but will let Puyol and Pi Gram, the reason is very simple, Mathieu can not ensure the smooth passing of Barcelona in the backcourt.
Passing the ball is Barcelona's biggest advantage against Real Madrid, and defensive counterattack is also the biggest advantage of Real Madrid against Barcelona.
The key to the derby of the century is whether Real Madrid will reveal the flaws first and give Barcelona the opportunity?
Or did Barcelona appear to be the first to miss and was killed by Real Madrid?
