I Just Can Score

First team training ground at Barcelona training base.

Barcelona's stars are conducting small-scale offensive and defensive training. Their training feels very relaxed, and it seems to be a bit of a game. The players on the offensive side don't run much, they just continue to pass the ball and coordinate. Only when there is a very good opportunity can there be a sprint.

this time.

Messi was strolling as if he was going shopping. After receiving a pass from the outside of the penalty area, he accelerated sharply to get past the defense and kicked the ball into the goal.

"Well done, Leo!"

"This ball is great!"

"I didn't even react to the change of direction and acceleration just now..."

Teammates applauded.

Messi also smiled when he looked at the football in the goal, but he quickly stopped smiling, his expression became serious again, and he continued to devote himself to training and confrontation.

He felt the pressure.

The Spanish El Clasico game is coming soon. What Messi cares about is not Real Madrid, but the opponent's two stars--

Zhen Shaolong.

C-Ronaldo.

Barcelona and Newcastle United met three times last season, and were almost defeated by the other side in a crushing manner. They had no good solution at all, because Zhen Shaolong performed so well and dominated the game with goals.

Zhen Shaolong has become a huge stone weighing on Messi's heart. He has been working hard to catch up with the opponent, but whenever he thinks of the opponent's amazing performance, Messi has a feeling of "cannot do it."

In the current La Liga match, will the opponent appear in Real Madrid's lineup, and will they still perform so amazingly?

Messi doesn't know.

The other is C-Ronaldo.

Compared to Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo is still in the "understandable" category. The media likes to compare C-Ronaldo and Messi together, because the performance of the two gives people similar feelings, but Messi feels that the other party should not be able to catch up. Himself, not only because of his personal ability, but also because the other party has just transferred to Real Madrid and the new season has just begun.

It takes time to get good performance.

In addition to the opponent's two stars, Messi will also consider the overall outcome.

"After defeating Real Madrid twice last season, can we still win now?" Messi was full of uncertainty. Other Barcelona players had similar thoughts. They were all a little confused about the game. The most important thing was that Zhen Shaolong brought them to There was too much pressure, but the opponent still performed amazingly in La Liga, scoring eight goals in three league rounds. Looking at the statistics is incredible.

at the same time.

Barcelona coach Guardiola is standing on the sidelines, watching the players in the match, holding a pen in his hand to write and draw in a notebook, his frown proves that he is thinking seriously, and he is thinking about the match with Real Madrid. Strategy.

In fact, Barcelona does not need to carefully consider tactical issues.

Barcelona has a mature tactical system. The head coach's responsibility for the game is more to arrange the lineup and remind the players to pay attention to some details. However, unlike the Real Madrid game, Barcelona must face opponents who leave a shadow on the team. --

Zhen Shaolong!

Guardiola felt his head hurt when he thought of this name. In response to the game against Real Madrid, he had to do some extra tactical work.

He was thinking about defense.

Real Madrid's lineup is indeed very strong.

Although the Catalan media says that it is 'not weaker than Barcelona', Real Madrid, with Zhen Shaolong, Ronaldo and Kaká joining them, must have a stronger lineup than Barcelona, ​​and Zhen Shaolong can beat it. Playing with Barcelona's two forwards, their efficiency is even much higher.

Real Madrid's weaknesses are also obvious, which lie in the somewhat chaotic tactical system and the coordination problems caused by the major changes in the team.

The large number of top stars is also a problem.

Guardiola carefully watched Real Madrid's warm-up matches and previous league games, and found that Zhen Shaolong, Kaká and Ronaldo had no tacit understanding with each other. They even subconsciously competed for the ball in the frontcourt and were unable to perform at all. The power of stars plus stars.

The Madrid media has been preaching, "Zhen Shaolong, Kaká and Ronaldo will become the most terrifying trident."

In fact.

Until now, not to mention a 'trident', even a 'two-prong' cannot be formed. The cooperation between them is a tragedy.

“This is something that can be exploited.”

"C-Ronaldo and Zhen Shaolong don't have a tacit understanding. What they need to focus on is the pass from the middle or left."

"As long as Zhen Shaolong's point can be blocked, the threat posed by Real Madrid's frontcourt will be greatly reduced, and their defense line..." Guardiola still understands Real Madrid's defense line, and is very familiar with Barcelona's goal. confidence.

The last time Barcelona and Real Madrid played against each other was in early May at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In the end, Barcelona scored six goals and completely defeated Real Madrid with a score of 6 to 2.

Ninety minutes, six goals.

This proves Barcelona's offensive ability and also illustrates Real Madrid's defensive problems to a certain extent. Real Madrid did not make major adjustments to the defense during the summer transfer.

So breaking the door shouldn't be a problem.

Guardiola took a deep breath and continued to frown and think. He knew that the key to the game was the restriction of the opponent's top stars.

Zhen Shaolong.

C-Ronaldo.

The lack of cooperation and understanding between these two top stars can be exploited. "Maybe we can give Ronaldo more room to display, and the extra defense can be placed in front of the goal."

Guardiola did not consider Kaká because Kaká has been injured. In the first three league games and one Champions League game at the beginning of the season, Kaká only made one appearance. His physical condition has obviously not recovered, and it is difficult to make a difference even if he plays.

Kaka recovered.

After the third round of La Liga, Kaka returned to the team for training normally the next day, and his condition is still recovering and adjusting. The coaching staff did not arrange him into the starting lineup, but he was still included in the squad.

Pellegrini talked to Kaka alone, hoping that he would slowly adjust his condition and find the position that suits him best.

In fact.

The coaching staff has some headaches with Kaka's arrangements.

In the latest 4231 formation, Kaká does have a good position, but partnering with C-Ronaldo is a problem. Without C-Ronaldo, we can consider letting Kaká play the real core midfielder, otherwise the two of them will play together. Hard to guarantee.

In the 442 formation, Kaka's position is very awkward.

Kaka can play as the second forward or as a midfielder, but the two positions are a bit different from his positioning, and the competition for the same position is very fierce, such as Raul, Higuain, and even C-Ronaldo on the striker He is also considering playing as a forward, and there are Guti, Alonso and others who are more suitable in the midfield.

Even if Kaká is the third most valuable player in the team and one of the top superstars in the world, he must rely on performance to compete for positions.

Real Madrid's training is still very intense.

Most of the new players who join the team only regard the game as a competition with Barcelona, ​​but the veteran players in the team, especially those from the Spanish League, know that the game is of great significance.

Real Madrid lost to Barcelona twice last season, and the 2-6 defeat in the second game became a historical shame - in the 100-year history of El Clasico, Barcelona has never scored six goals at the Bernabeu!

Although Real Madrid also scored two, and the goal difference was only four goals, Barcelona will always be remembered for scoring six goals at the Bernabeu, rather than the specific difference in the game.

So Real Madrid must beat Barcelona.

The significance of El Clasico is not just a showdown between giants. In fact, most popular derbies around the world have historical origins and other influences. The competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not just a football match. Winning or losing also involves many complex factors such as nationality and culture. The short 90-minute game incorporates too many factors beyond football and even sports.

As the largest port city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona has deep conflicts with the Spanish authorities on many political issues. It has also become a psychological balance for many teams to defeat the capital Madrid. The urgent psychological needs of the Catalans are precisely because of these inexplicable and unexplained historical hatreds, coupled with the dazzling stars and majestic stadiums, whether it is at the Nou Camp or the Bernabeu, Every collision between the two teams has become a noble memory worth collecting in the hearts of fans.

In the history of Spanish El Clasico, the two teams have won and lost each other and won by a large margin. However, it is rare that the victory is monopolized by one team for a long time, especially in the past three or forty years, even if one team has won. Even if the results are slightly worse, the game will not be without suspense.

At the beginning of last season, there seemed to be signs that Barcelona would monopolize victory, because there was no suspense in the two games against Real Madrid.

This is unacceptable to Real Madrid.

Now that the 'Galaxy Phase II' has restarted, Real Madrid, including the club, fans and even the supporting media, all hope that Real Madrid can defeat Barcelona and regain the dignity of football in the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid also has various pressures.

Head coach Pellegrini is under the greatest pressure. President Florentino only gave a few words of "order" for the game, "Must win!"

This game is related to the club's honor. If you win the game, everything will go smoothly. If you lose the game, everything will become difficult, and even the coaching position will become very unstable.

Pellegrini, like Guardiola, is facing a lot of pressure. Guardiola's pressure lies in the defense of Real Madrid's top stars, and Pellegrini's pressure lies in the defense of Barcelona as a whole.

Now that the two sides are competing, Real Madrid seems to have the advantage in terms of lineup strength, but Pellegrini knows that it is very difficult for Real Madrid to win.

Real Madrid's problem is: tactical coordination.

Real Madrid does not yet have a mature tactical system, and in a duel between top giants, a mature tactical system is more important than the ability of the stars.

To put it simply, the whole is higher than the individual.

In fact, you can use games as an auxiliary explanation. For example, playing the relatively popular mobile game "Honor of Kings", low-end game masters can play at will. With their super personal skills, the chance of leading the team to win is very high.

This means that the individual is superior to the whole.

Even if other teammates are outstanding, as long as there is a master who shows off his skills, he can still achieve the final victory.

on the contrary.

In the top high-end games, individual advantages have been greatly weakened. Every player in each professional team is a master, but they need a tactical coach to arrange tactics for the whole.

At this time, the individual advantage is greatly weakened. Even if a single player is excellent, it will be difficult for one player to defeat the other two.

The importance of tactics has been greatly elevated.

Real Madrid's disadvantage lies in tactical coordination. In the absence of a mature tactical system, it is difficult to defeat the overall strong Barcelona by relying on simple tactics and the performance of stars.

Even if the stars in the team can score one or two goals based on their personal abilities, it may be easier for the opponent to score.

Pellegrini was so worried about this that he even walked to the sidelines and watched the training ground carefully. When he found that C-Ronaldo passed very few passes to Zhen Shaolong, he seriously said to C-Ronaldo, "When Zhen Shaolong has When there is space, you have to pass the ball as soon as possible.”

"You must pay attention to Zhen's location at all times!"

"You need to cooperate more smoothly, and it is best to develop some tacit understanding..."

C-Ronaldo's reaction was--

Cold snort!

Turn around and walk away!

It is definitely wrong for a player to give a coach a bad look. Ronaldo also knows that he should not do that, but he is very disgusted with Pellegrini's statement. He has no conflict with Zhen Shaolong, but he has his own pride in his heart.

For example, the opportunity just now.

C-Ronaldo dribbled the ball through the opponent's defense, and the opponent sent someone in the middle to defend. Zhen Shaolong's space was not very good. The pass was likely to be intercepted by the opponent, but he could completely break through personally and look for opportunities to complete the shot.

"Pass the ball?"

"What if you get snatched away?"

"And I think I have a greater chance of dribbling the ball myself, and I can completely score goals myself. This is my habit and style!"

"Zhen is indeed outstanding, but I'm not bad either. I'm not his vassal, and I don't need to take the initiative to play for him!"

"When it comes to the competition, I still persist..."

Other teammates also understand that Ronaldo, Granero and Diarra are in the minority after all. In addition, in the situation just now, passing the ball to Zhen Shaolong may not be enough to catch up with his own dribbling. The tacit understanding is not enforced, but playing together for a long time. Only when the ball knows enough about each other can it be created step by step.

"But, when it comes to the game, will Ronaldo deliberately not pass the ball to Zhen Shaolong?"

Pellegrini reflected on his request for Ronaldo and knew that he was a little too anxious, but Ronaldo's attitude was not a good sign, especially before the Spanish national derby, because it would be bad if his mentality affected the game.

He was a little worried.

The rest of the coaching staff is a little worried, too.

Zhen Shaolong doesn't care whether C-Ronaldo passes the ball or not. He is used to being the kind of person who "disappears" on the field and scores the ball when he finds a good opportunity to play. He doesn't need his teammates to play with long-term purpose.

But the system seems to care.

"Tip: There is a new system task triggered.

Many people believe that your tacit understanding with Ronaldo will become a key factor in the game. You need to show your tacit understanding with Ronaldo in the game and lead Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona.

(During the mission, the designated teammate C-Ronaldo will obtain the ‘subordinate’ effect.

C-Ronaldo will become your subordinate, and his ball will have the following effects--

1. The ball that is actively passed to you will receive a ten-degree correction to the 'best route to the target' and a fifty-percent correction to the 'best power'.

2. When the ball hits the opponent's player or the goal frame, the rebound will be corrected thirty degrees in your direction.

3. When "the ball is played without a designated target", the football will be forced to correct ten degrees to your direction. )

Mission goals: 1. C-Ronaldo assists and scores two or more goals.

2. Led Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona by three goals or more.

Mission reward: Strength index increased by one point. "
