Vol 4 Chapter 1238: Key to victory over Barcelona

Real Madrid ended up with 4-2 at home and a total score of 6-4. They successfully eliminated Atletico Madrid and advanced to the quarterfinals of the King's Cup.
But God's suffering for Real Madrid seems to continue.
After the eight games were over and the finals of the King's Cup were decided, the lottery of the quarter-finals knockout was resumed immediately. However, this time, Real Madrid encountered the team they were least willing to meet, Barcelona!
At the quarterfinals knockout match at Atletico Madrid and the quarterfinals knockout match at Barcelona, ​​such a devil schedule is really troublesome for Real Madrid. After the draw result is released, all the media are silent for Real Madrid because of this luck It is too memorable.
In this match against Atletico, Mascherano's bench came off, and the subsequent midfield balance has caused media attention and discussion. Many people have to re-examine Real Madrid's this. A set of lineups.
No one can deny that after Mascherano played, Real Madrid's offense and defense are indeed more balanced, and the presence of the Argentine midfielder also gives the backcourt a stable take-off point, which greatly eases the pressure of Real Madrid. His defense is a solid barrier in front of Real Madrid's defense.
But there are also many voices that Real Madrid should not use Mascherano, because before using two technical midfielders, the team not only had an offensive but also a good defense, Modric was injured It can be replaced by other players. You cannot overthrow the previous good momentum just because you played Atletico Madrid.
In short, the two different voices are intertwined and the discussion is very lively. Not only the media people participated, but also many professionals, including many Real Madrid famous places, also participated in the discussion. Everyone will give different opinions based on their different understanding and preferences of football. Different answers and analysis.
There are also two voices inside Real Madrid. The coaching staff and the technical team also support the defensive midfielder. Some think that they should continue to try two technical midfielders. After all, the first half is really too beautiful.
Ancelotti is not an adventurous person in his heart, but he is now somewhat surrounded by the beautiful offensive football in the first half, he still hopes to continue to stick to that set of play, or wait for Modry Odd return.
Yang Yang and Zidane strongly support the use of defensive midfielders. They both insist that the balance between offense and defense is the most important.
Even, Yang Yang believes that even if Modric returns, whether he can still maintain the state of the first half and whether he can restore his all-round versatility at his peak, these are unknown.
You know, no matter how self-disciplined a player is, when he is about thirty, his physical function will inevitably decline. This is inevitable. Modric will soon reach thirty, and at this critical moment, he suffers again. He suffered serious injuries, which was irreversible for the violation of his career.
That is to say, even if he recovers from his injury and wants to return to the top, it is almost unrealistic.
Of course, this does not mean that Modric should be abandoned, because even if he falls, Real Madrid can fully adjust the team ’s tactics, such as arranging a defensive midfielder, liberating Modric, and letting him invest more in the organization. And passing, reducing defensive pressure, which can maximize his state.
Isn't the role of tactics here?
In the discussion of the two voices, three days later, in the nineteenth round of Spain, Real Madrid finally challenged Getafe in the same city game and finally reached a conclusion.
Mascherano won!
Ancelotti's three midfielders in this game are also very interesting. Tonic Ross has also been on a turn. The two players Isco and Hames Rodriguez partnered with Mascherano to form a three. field.
Obviously, the first two players are responsible for organizing and attacking, and Mascherano is responsible for defense.
During the first half, Real Madrid was adjusting and adapting. The game was a bit dull. Obviously, the midfield organization was not sorted out. The offensive of the front court could not be played, but the defense was stable.
Until the second half, Real Madrid began to exert force.
First, Isco and Hames Rodriguez collided continuously in the midfield. Suarez volleyed a shot outside the penalty area and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Cordina, but Yang Yang appeared like a ghost. In a terrible position, he easily pushed the empty goal and set the record for Real Madrid.
Just four minutes later, Hames Rodriguez made a cross from the left and Suarez volleyed the edge of the penalty area to make another city for Real Madrid, two to zero.
In the seventy-ninth minute, it was another accurate cross from Hames Rodriguez on the left. Yang Yang ran out of the restricted area and headed the goal from a close range without defending. Two times, to lock the victory for Real Madrid.
Three to zero, Real Madrid finally beat Getafe away.
Professional football is very realistic. As long as you win, all the arguments can come to an end temporarily.
Real Madrid beat Getafe with a three-to-one victory, especially on the road, which is quite an easy victory, because this season Barcelona is zero to zero at this stadium, and Atletico is relying on a red card , In the end a one-to-zero win.
The ability to beat Getafe three to zero, especially on the defensive level, is satisfying.
Ancelotti also said in a high-profile post-match press conference that he has found the key to an away victory over Barcelona.
…………
…………
On the evening of January 21, 2015, Barcelona Camp Nou Stadium.
In the first round of the quarterfinals of the King's Cup, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away.
In the thirty-fifth minute of the game, Real Madrid attacked in the frontcourt, Carvajal advanced forward, and Di Maria tried to form a breakthrough from the right, but after entering the 30-meter area, the opponent was shoveled out. Out of bounds, a foul ball was formed.
Real Madrid's out-of-bounds ball in the danger zone immediately surrounded them.
Carvajal stood on the sidelines, wiped the football in his arms with his jersey, and observed the situation on the court.
Suarez pulled to the right side of the penalty area to meet, Di Maria, Tony Ross, are moving towards this side.
Real Madrid's right defender held up the football high, and the attitude was tossed towards the middle and passed to his teammates, but suddenly stopped, turned and ran to the right side of the penalty area.
Suarez blocked Mattie with his body, stopped the ball in the chest and tried to pick the ball, but Mathieu and Alba cooperated very well. The French central defender quickly cut into Suarez's area and cut off the Uruguay striker and the ball. Contact, and Alba is a big foot, trying to clear the ball volley.
However, this foot volley was not seen from a height, but was directly transferred to the periphery of the arc top of the big restricted area.
David Silva pre-judged the goal of the ball before quickly catching up, quickly catching up, facing the falling football, directly pad, and returned the ball back to the penalty area.
Yang Yang has been ambushing near the penalty spot. After seeing David Silva running, he first made sure that he did not fall offside. This is his usual playing habit. Wait until David Silva When Wa Tiao entered the restricted area, he quickly rushed forward without forming an offside.
The ball landed gently on Yang Yang's side, and Yang Yang ran right beside the ball, almost at the moment when the ball landed, and touched the turf, Yang Yang quickly kicked out.
The ball turned in one direction, almost in a straight line, straight into the lower left corner of the goal.
The German lion king Ter Stegen, who was standing on the right side, was beyond reach and helpless.
"!!!!!!"
With a long sound of goals, Yang Yang quickly rushed out of the court, waving his arms all the way.
At the corner of the stands, the fans who followed Real Madrid to the road were also cheering wildly, calling Yang Yang's name in unison, uniform and quite powerful, even covering the momentum of Barcelona's home fans.
Yang Yang also rushed to the stand under Real Madrid fans to celebrate his goal.
A one-to-zero lead away from home is undoubtedly a very valuable goal for Real Madrid.
Even, to some extent, this goal will completely break the deadlock on the field.
...
Barcelona's players are full of frustration, but also a bit frustrated.
They are not convinced, but they have no choice.
A goal like that was not just a good pass by David Silva, but Yang Yang ’s shot was also crucial.
Regardless of the previous running position, the keen sense of offside, or the subsequent control of the ball's landing point and timing, Yang Yang can be said to have handled it quite well, and even did not give the defensive player any chance to react.
It can be said that the defensive players are very passive in the whole process of scoring goals, even not expected.
This is not accidental, because they never thought that Real Madrid would cooperate in this way.
But this is Real Madrid!
This is Yang Yang!
...
After a goal behind, Barcelona started to counterattack, trying to recover the disadvantage of this ball, but Real Madrid began to take a defensive counterattack steadily and did not confront Barcelona.
For Real Madrid playing away, it is acceptable to win a goal and a one-to-one draw. It can even be said to be relatively favorable. After scoring a goal, it is still not reasonable to continue to die with Barcelona. Too.
The presence of Mascherano, the enthusiasm of David Silva and Tonic Ross, have allowed Real Madrid to suppress Barcelona's midfielder.
In this game, Luis Enrique did not arrange Harvey. Obviously, he also learned lessons, and instead let Rakitic replace Harvey, but in this way, Barcelona's midfield pass and catch and run is not as good Before being skilled, mistakes began to increase, Real Madrid's counterattack played a threat.
Barcelona's best chance in the game was in the final half of the second half. They got a penalty kick in the penalty area, but Messi's penalty was saved by Kurtova.
This season, Navas has become more and more brave, and he has made frequent penalties, and his performance is also remarkable. This has put pressure on Courtois, and now the Belgian goalkeeper is not willing to be outdone, saving Messi ’s penalty Navas declared war.
At the beginning of the season, everyone thought that there was not much suspense in the Real Madrid goalkeeper battle, in fact, the competition was very fierce.
