"This is the 30th round of La Liga in the 2012/2013 season, Real Madrid's home game against Barcelona."

"Barcelona currently leads by three points and is at the top of the standings. The result of this game will determine the top spot in La Liga."

"Can Real Madrid catch up with the score, and can Barcelona break through the psychological pressure and get a victory?"

Gonzalez's tone was heavy, which made every fan paying attention to this game become nervous.

Especially Barcelona fans, although Gonzalez's commentary made them very dissatisfied, what they said is the truth.

Starting in 2009, Real Madrid has been suppressing them for three full years.

Barcelona is in a direct conversation and a victory is hard to come by!

Even from a certain perspective, this has become Barcelona's nightmare.

Three days ago, they suffered another Waterloo in the Champions League and were massacred by Bayern Munich, which made their situation even worse.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Casemiro, Kroos, Khedira.

Forwards: Di Maria, Benzema, Suker.

Barcelona (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Pinto.

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Bartra, Montoya.

Midfielder: Xavi, Alexander Song, Iniesta.

Forwards: Pedro, Messi, Fabregas.

Suk turned to look over.

Fabregas appears in the forward position again, which means that he is almost isolated from the midfielder.

Even now, Barcelona has no intention of handing over the midfield power to Cesc Fabregas.

It is estimated that Fabregas has given up and is ready to transfer.

But what surprised Suker was Messi.

Messi suffered an injury during a fierce confrontation in the Champions League.

However, he still played in this game, so he was either not injured or had a minor injury.

Anyway, Barcelona cannot do without Messi now, not to mention such an intense game.

However, going out with an injury can easily turn a small injury into a major injury, which is not worth the gain.

Suk turned his head and shook his fist at Cross, who nodded vigorously.

Based on Cross's outstanding performance in the previous game, he received more tactical resources in this game.

Di Maria starts the game, which means that the two wings will move inward and cooperate with the midfielder to attack together.

Zidane plans to focus on rhythm control in the midfield in this game.

Many people say that playing at midfield pace with Barcelona is courting death.

But in the last Champions League game, Bayern Munich has proved that only by killing Barcelona in the midfield will the latter completely collapse.

Therefore, Real Madrid plans to give it a try based on Cross's outstanding performance in the previous game, combined with the control abilities of Suker and Di Maria.

Players from both sides stand in their respective half-courts.

Real Madrid took the lead in the first half.

The game is about to begin, and the atmosphere is particularly tense.

Su Ke stepped on the ball and turned around and said: "Cooperate well in this game!"

Benzema nodded immediately, looking eager to try.

This game will try to frequently switch positions between the two of them.

It can be regarded as laying the foundation for striker cooperation.

In fact, they have accumulated some experience and the results are good, but they still need to be tempered game after game.

Bell failed to start, which is also a pity.

But in order to add insurance to the control of the midfield, Di Maria was still sent.

Of course, Su Ke can also drop back to respond.

But the Real Madrid coaching staff didn't want to do this. Even if Suker said he could play like this, they still believed that Suker was the most threatening position in the frontcourt.

To put it bluntly, the coaching staff still doesn't trust the finishing abilities of other players enough.

With Suker in front, Real Madrid at least still retains a huge threat. If it were replaced by someone else, it would really not be possible.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

The entire Bernabeu stadium suddenly burst into jubilation.

Suker immediately kicked off the ball, and with fierce cheers, the battle for the top spot in the 2012/2013 La Liga season began.

"Kros passed back. He still thought it was safer to pass back. In the last Champions League game, the German midfielder performed very well. We can continue to look forward to this game!"

Kroos kept running, and after experiencing the baptism of playing against Juventus, it was obvious that he was playing more confidently.

Suk and Di Maria always converge towards the middle, and sometimes Suk will run to the central axis.

At this time, Benzema will run to the left rib or the wing.

Real Madrid passed the ball in an orderly manner, during which Suker became more and more weird as he played.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that Barcelona’s restrictions on themselves in the midfield have become smaller.

It's not that they don't keep an eye on them anymore, but the feeling of keeping tabs on them is not too strong.

In previous games, even without the ball, they would find ways to stimulate themselves.

Confrontation, pushing, provocation and other tactics are endless.

But now, these guys are standing behind them, not knowing what they are thinking, looking a little confused.

Suker didn't know what the other party was thinking, but it was okay to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Suker started to move forward diagonally from the left rib area.

When he moved, Alexander Song followed.

But there was still no physical contact with him, let alone confrontation.

At this time, Kroos also saw this scene and immediately passed the ball to Suker.

Suker accelerated his feet and rushed to the right rib.

Di Maria went along the side again, Suker moved forward diagonally, and he could suddenly dunk the ball and pass it in for Di Maria to pass the ball.

But he didn't do it.

Suker stepped on the ball and turned, his body facing the far left.

At the same time, he gently pushed forward with his left foot.

He did not choose to hang on the empty space on the left, but pushed it flat to Kroos who was moving forward.

Kroos received the ball and dribbled forward directly.

When approaching the penalty area, he attracted enough defensive force and passed the ball to the right.

Di Maria caught up and fell to the ground and swept.

The ball rolled towards the small penalty area, but Benzema was a step slower and failed to poke the ball. The ball landed in the left half and was cleared by Alves.

"Oh~~~ Real Madrid's attack, Suker's sudden transfer this time was very unexpected."

"Everyone thought he would pass it to Di Maria, but he stepped on the ball and turned around, pushed it to Kroos, and Kroos passed it to Di Maria again."

"This made Barcelona's defense distribution, which was originally tilted to the right, converge towards the middle again, and when Kroos passed the ball, Di Maria had more room for choice."

"Although the attack failed to score a goal, it also achieved good results."

"On the other hand, Barcelona's defense was a bit loose. Did they fall asleep?"

As Gonzalez said, Barcelona's back line seemed to be asleep. Not only did they react a step slower, but even their confrontation awareness and game enthusiasm also decreased a lot.

This is why Real Madrid played so easily.

I thought it was the defense, but I soon found that the offense had become sluggish.

Barcelona's back passes became more, or too many.

Sometimes it is a good opportunity, but in order to be more sure, the team passes the ball back again.

After several consecutive passes, not only did the opportunity disappear, but the situation also became passive.

"Slow down the attack like this?"

Zidane was a little stunned.

This is different from the Barcelona he remembered!

Even if the attack is slow, it is not this kind of slow down.

It seems that everyone is afraid of attacking, always wanting to find the most accurate opportunity.

But in football games, where are there absolutely the same opportunities?

Opportunities are not waited for, but fought for!

But Barcelona's current style of play is very negative.

They are waiting for opportunities, not fighting for opportunities.

"Hey! Pass the ball! Pass the ball! What are you waiting for?"

Fabregas was impatient to see his teammates constantly passing the ball in the backcourt.

What's the use of passing the ball in the backcourt?

Once it is intercepted, their goal will be in danger, and playing like this is too negative!

Just as Fabregas was shouting, Xavi in ​​the back couldn't stand it anymore.

After Xavi passed the ball, he turned around and shouted angrily; "Shut up! Are you the only one who can play football?"

He was fed up with this guy's chaotic command.

Due to the core of the midfield, Xavi and Fabregas have not been very happy recently.

Fabregas wants to take over as soon as possible.

Xavi said he can still hold on for a while.

The conflict between the two depends on this.

Fabregas wants the power of the midfield, and Xavi said it is not the right time yet.

In addition, the coaching staff is not as supportive of him as before, which makes Fabregas very irritable and even wants to leave.

Suker was not far from them and heard the conversation very clearly, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

It turned out to be an internal problem!

Not only Real Madrid, but Barcelona is also having conflicts.

Some time ago, Real Madrid did not have a good time, so Suker really didn't want Barcelona to have a good time. Seeing this scene, he felt a little gloating.

"Real Madrid is still patiently standing in its position, but the ball is still at the feet of Barcelona"

Gonzalez frowned.

Barcelona was indeed in control of the ball, but they were unable to make any forward movement or any penetrating passes.

What were they waiting for?

Gonzalez was not very clear, but many of Barcelona's passes were indeed meaningless, as if they were just controlling the ball for the sake of controlling it.

In the past, Barcelona was very particular about every pass.

In the swift and smooth passing, they were able to continuously advance and also affect the opponent's defensive scheduling.

But now these passes are meaningless!

Seeing that now, Barcelona has not been able to make a threatening pass.

Bang!

At the 21st minute, when Messi made a cross pass, he suddenly encountered a confrontation with Kroos, causing his pass to be unstable.

Iniesta hurriedly adjusted and tried to stop the ball, but Casemiro and Di Maria followed up and strangled him.

Under the pressure of the two, Iniesta was finally intercepted.

When Iniesta fell to the ground, he raised his hands to indicate a foul.

But the referee stretched his hands forward to indicate that there was no foul.

Kroos didn't care about the referee and didn't want to blow the whistle. He just passed the ball to Benzema in front of him.

When Benzema retreated to receive the ball, Suker and Di Maria moved diagonally forward from both sides towards the middle.

But while running, Suk suddenly paused.

And it was at this command that Benzema seized the opportunity to pass the ball, twisted his left foot to smash the ball, and gave it to Suker. He then made a circle and rushed towards the goal from the left periphery.

Suker also noticed Benzema's movement. He immediately stepped on the ball and did not pass it out in a hurry. Instead, he waited for Benzema to reach a certain position and suddenly pulled back slightly.

Su Ke pulled the ball into the gap behind him.

And there, Benzema had already rushed over in a circle and pushed the ball towards the ball at a small angle.

The ball passed through the crowd and flew accurately into the far corner of the goal.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

"Karim Benzema! Real Madrid's wonderful small-scale cooperation, continuous passing, and tacit cooperation. In the 22nd minute, they took the lead in scoring!"

"From the moment they chose to counterattack, every pass Real Madrid made was forward and serving goals. This is exactly what Barcelona lacks."

"Barcelona needs to adjust urgently. They do have more possession of the ball, but they cannot attack effectively!"

Listening to Gonzalez's explanation, Barcelona fans were furious.

But they suddenly sighed, and there was nothing wrong with what they said.

Barcelona did have possession of the ball, but these possessions were ineffective and non-threatening.

On the other hand, Real Madrid threatened in both attacks and scored a goal.

On the offensive end, Real Madrid is much more determined than them.

"Are you afraid? Are you afraid of Bayern Munich's counterattack? If we don't dare to move forward, how can we play a game?"

Fabregas roared in anger.

At this point, he couldn't care about anything else. This game was terrible and frustrating.

No one dared to throw the ball forward, and every pass was a safe pass.

As an amateur, this is no problem.

Continuously passing safe balls is already very impressive in amateur games.

But they are professionals!

They are even the top wealthy families in the profession!

Waiting for Real Madrid to make mistakes themselves when there is no pressure?

I want to eat shit!

This is simply impossible!

Opportunities can’t wait!

But these guys are so cowardly.

The reason why Fabregas is angry is because he betrayed his family and chose to join Barcelona.

He abandoned everything and came here, but in the end he got such a result?

He's almost a joke!

He is in Barcelona and has already won a Copa del Rey!

Consecutive defeats in the Champions League.

They were continuously suppressed by Real Madrid in the league.

They say next year every year, but which one will win the championship next year?

If it was just a Copa del Rey, why would he bother to pay to come to Barcelona?

Arsenal is competing for the FA Cup. Isn’t it better than you?

The players of Real Madrid also saw signs of some quarrels in Barcelona. Although they were trying their best to tolerate it, it would break out sooner or later. They were too experienced in this regard. After all, they had just experienced internal strife, and now it has not completely offset the impact.

"I just said that something was wrong in this game. It turned out that the opponent was fighting among themselves!" Benzema said with a smile.

He felt the same as Suker. Seeing the internal conflicts in Barcelona, ​​he felt a little gloating in his heart.

The sentiments of others were much the same.

Seeing that the internal situation of their direct competitor Barcelona is not good, they are naturally happy.

For Barcelona, ​​this period of time is indeed a bit painful.

Being able to hold on until now is all due to Messi's super performance.

But in the last Champions League game, even Messi was unable to reverse the situation. They were completely defeated by Bayern Munich.

This is the kind of destruction that includes everything from psychological to technical levels!

Guardiola was also cruel to his old teammates and kicked them until their mentality collapsed.

The worst news is that Messi is injured.

It can be seen from the performance of this game that Messi's movements are a bit slow and something is wrong.

This is not the strength he should show!

But Messi's ankle was injured and is still fixed with a bandage.

They dare not let Messi rest, especially in this game.

Messi himself also said that he wanted to participate in this game.

But judging from the current situation, Messi cannot perform at all.

Messi misfired, and Barcelona's overall rhythm became even worse.

Su Ke also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that this game should be easier!"

Barcelona's state is not good and there are internal conflicts, which makes Real Madrid play more confidently.

After the game restarted, Real Madrid took the initiative to control the rhythm, approaching step by step, and constantly threatened Barcelona's goal with smooth cooperation in the frontcourt.

It can be said that the only regret in this game is Bell.

Bell sat on the bench, his legs shaking and he couldn't wait to get on the court.

Bale's eyes kept scanning towards Zidane.

He didn't look at Ledep. Although this guy was the nominal head coach, Zidane was in command.

So far, Zidane has not meant to let him play.

However, Bale believes that he still has a chance to play in the second half.

Watching the tacit cooperation between Suker and Benzema, Bale is also itching to play.

The forward cooperation itself is the result of the joint training of the three of them. Now that the two of them are having fun on the court, he can only sit on the bench and watch, which is naturally very aggrieved.

But at the same time, he is also constantly brewing his own state. As long as he gets the opportunity to play, he will show 100% of his state.

When Zidane is paying attention to the court, he will turn his head from time to time to scan Bale.

Bale's expression was seen by him.

He did suppress Bale, mainly because Bale has played too Buddhist and too gentle in recent times.

He should accumulate some anger in his heart to make himself more irritable.

Therefore, he pressed Bale on the bench and watched the half-time game.

And from the current situation, the effect is not bad!

Real Madrid's offensive is like a tide in the field, and Barcelona is a little exhausted.

Messi was silent, Barcelona's forward movement failed, and Real Madrid continued to exert pressure.

The balance of the game still tilted towards Real Madrid!
