Midfielder Ruler

In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Real Madrid No. 10 Tang Zheng was the best performing player, bar none.

With Tang Zheng smashing the ball in a corner kick, He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, was full of enthusiasm: "Tang Zheng is in great form! But the goalposts of the Nou Camp seem to be not enough to give face. The must-win pitch is rejected! But the fans in front of the TV don't have to worry, I believe Tang Zheng's amazing state is more than that, let us wait and see Tang Zheng's next game together!"

Valdez took the goal kick, and it was Tang Zheng who fought for the goal this time.

However, it can be said that there is no accident in this competition. The only player in Barcelona's entire midfield who can exceed 1.8 meters in height is Busquets. As Barcelona's internal defensive midfielder, he cannot rush The forward line goes to fight for the top.

Seeing Tang Zheng standing there, Messi and Cesc Fabregas simply stood there, ready to compete for the second spot.

Tang Zheng, who has a wide field of vision, naturally wouldn't throw the ball to his teammates. During the jump, he leaned back and stopped the ball with his chest, and then handed it to Khedira, who transferred the ball to the Attack left.

According to Tang Zheng's observation in advance, Barcelona's defensive focus is temporarily on the left side, which means that the right side is weak.

Barcelona's defense on the right was facing Real Madrid's attack on the left, so Barcelona's defensive forces had to shift again.

Defense is not what Barcelona is good at. Facing Real Madrid's continuous attack, it seems very weak.

The home fans in the stands of Camp Nou were very worried. They didn't know whether the team could reverse the unfavorable situation in the next game.

The on-site director seemed to hear the voice of the home fans, and gave the home team coach Martino a close-up shot of his face.

Barcelona, ​​which sits at the Camp Nou, is at a disadvantage, which is directly related to Martino's lack of safety plans before the game. Therefore, if Barcelona wants to regain the disadvantage, it depends on Martino's on-the-spot command.

However, according to the live broadcast, Martino, who was frowning, seemed to have no good solution.

He chatted with the two assistants for a long time, and neither gave orders to the court.

It wasn't until thirty-five minutes into the game that Martino walked to the sidelines and took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to communicate with fellow Messi with a small gesture.

In the case that Barcelona's overall offense cannot be effective, it depends on Messi's performance.

Neymar lost confidence in Tang Zheng's defense,

Messi began to try to play an inside advantage on the right side of the attack.

Of course, Martino's tactical adjustment is not just to ask Messi to strengthen the breakthrough, but to make full use of the width of the court, and then pass the ball to the attacking right after being transferred away from Tang Zheng, and Messi will be in his 'Messi Corridor' Try to create opportunities.

Immediately, the double midfielder formed by Ramos and Khedira began to feel tremendous pressure.

In the past half an hour or so, our defense had Tang Zheng's supplementary defense to resolve the danger in time.

But as Tang Zheng was taken away from the defense zone, Barcelona's attack quickly shifted direction, and Messi cut the ball immediately after taking the ball.

Ramos and Messi have confronted countless times in the national derby. The result of one-on-one defense is the same as in the past. The success rate of frontal defense is so low that he has to resort to fouls to make up for his lack of ability.

Tang Zheng has a strong ability to read the game, but Barcelona's offensive rhythm is very tight, and the football does not go out of the sideline, so that Tang Zheng has no time to communicate with his teammates.

Camp Nou has width, Tang Zheng needs time to run from one side to the other, and Barcelona's timely transfer is to not give Tang Zheng time.

The football moved from the left to the right again. Messi took the initiative to meet the football and even stopped it. Ramos fell to the ground and shoveled without even touching Messi's hairs, only shoveled a ball of air!

Khedira had to come from the center to defend, but Messi didn't wait for him to pass, and gave the ball directly to Xavi.

The two full-backs of Real Madrid's defense naturally shrank to the middle to release the danger that Khedira was not in the defense zone.

Ancelotti's defensive deployment before the game was rigorous and thorough, and all possibilities were predicted by him.

But in many cases, the process of the game cannot be predicted in detail, because accidents often occur in the game.

Harvey received Messi's cross pass and passed the ball directly to Neymar, who was attacking the left flank. Without Tang Zheng's help, Neymar was very confident, and his right foot was caught by the outside instep. Stop, get rid of Carvajal's defense, and then swing your right foot!

shoot!

The right central defender Varane subconsciously expanded the defensive area, fell to the ground and shoveled, trying to block Neymar's shot with his flesh and blood.

As a result, Neymar's shot was close to the ground, and the football hit the heel of Varane's forward shoveling left leg, and then the trajectory changed.

Goalkeeper Diego Lopez subconsciously made a save with Neymar's shot, so after realizing that the shot was refracted, he could only declare that he was beyond his reach.

The football refracts, going from a fast roll towards the far corner to a near corner.

Even if the football speed has dropped, Diego Lopez can't do anything about it.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal—"

The Catalan TV commentator stretched out his voice, venting the pleasure brought by the goal.

At the same time, there was a deafening loud shout over the Camp Nou: "Awwhhh—"

The entire stadium seemed to tremble slightly at this moment, so that those fans who came to the Nou Camp for the first time to experience the frenzied atmosphere of the Spanish national derby had a sense of a small earthquake.

Very shocking!

Although He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, was a little uncomfortable with the fact that Real Madrid had an advantage and fell behind, his commentary experience was rich and he continued to comment on the real-time situation of the game: "Neymar scored a goal in the Spanish national derby for the first time, it is really not easy! "

Neymar in the broadcast screen was very excited, raising his arms and shouting.

He has been closely guarded for most of the first half of the game in the past, and even got angry and fouled behind because of his 'subtle' passing.

Representing Barcelona for the first time in the national derby and scoring goals is somewhat a catharsis for the past sluggish performance.

The other Barcelona players were also very excited. You must know that in the past national derbies, it was Barcelona and not Real Madrid that had the advantage.

Scoring a goal in a relatively passive situation, and it was a refracted goal, which somewhat made them feel that they were blessed by God.

Immediately afterwards, the on-site director showed close-up shots of Real Madrid players Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng one after another.

The reason why the shot was given to Cristiano Ronaldo is that he hasn't had any outstanding performances yet, but the shot given to Tang Zheng has a lot of meaning.

Until now, Tang Zheng was the best player on both sides of the offense and defense, so Barcelona had a rare passive situation in the national derby. It happened to be a kind of irony for Tang Zheng to score a goal while Barcelona was passive.

However, the emotion on Tang Zheng's face didn't change much, he was very calm.

Cristiano Ronaldo frowned, looking preoccupied.

Of course, at this time, a close-up shot of Real Madrid coach Ancelotti is also indispensable. With his white hair, he pursed his mouth and paced back and forth in the coaching area of ​​the home team, unable to see what he was thinking.

The game restarted, and Real Madrid, who had the kick-off advantage, quickly launched an offensive.

When the football passed to Cristiano Ronaldo's feet, he did not make too many adjustments, and swung his right foot directly to try a long shot from a distance of 30 meters from the goal.

This time the front sight was adjusted, but the strength was insufficient, and the goalkeeper Valdez easily confiscated the ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot made the ball change hands, Valdez did not play the ball quickly, but slowed down the pace, and then dropped the ball to the right defender Alves.

Now that the score is leading, Barcelona, ​​who are playing at home, is playing very confidently, and their offense is no longer as impatient as they were in a draw.

Neymar, who helped Barcelona score a goal, regained his confidence. Facing Tang Zheng's defense, he no longer walked on eggshells. He chose to play the ball more cleanly and solve problems by passing.

Messi has gradually shown his value when the team performed well as a whole, and Barcelona, ​​which has remained unbeaten in the past nine rounds of the league, seems to have returned to the home fans.

Ancelotti was fidgeting standing in the coaching area of ​​the visiting team. He really didn't expect that the team would concede the ball first when they had the advantage, and they would continue to be at a disadvantage after conceding the ball.

If there is no way to change this situation, it is not impossible to concede another goal.

With no other way, Ancelotti could only ask the team to retreat to the half court for defense, leaving only Cristiano Ronaldo in front as the team's counterattack point.

Real Madrid retreated to halftime, and Barcelona played their familiar rhythm, using various triangle passes to involve Real Madrid's defense, hoping to score another goal before the end of the first half.

However, the score did not change until the end of the first half. Barcelona, ​​who sit at Camp Nou at home, led Real Madrid 1-0.

※※※

The referee Marienko blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the on-site director immediately switched to close-up shots, showing the core players of both sides in the 167th national derby in La Liga history.

The close-up shots switched successively on the faces of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Zheng and other players. The home team players generally had natural expressions, while the lagging Real Madrid players looked helpless.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, he pursed his lips and shook his head again and again, obviously extremely dissatisfied with his performance in the first half.

Looking at the entire first half, if you have to pick the worst player, Cristiano Ronaldo is impressive.

Of course, not all Barcelona players were very happy. Cesc Fabregas, who had a relatively sluggish performance in the first half, was frowning.

His abilities are comprehensive, but his technical characteristics tend to play in midfield.

Whether it is the current head coach Martino or the former Guardiola, let him play as a winger or a striker.

This is a technical crush for Fabregas, who is used to playing as a defensive midfielder and central midfielder, which means that he can't give full play to his technical advantages.

A narrator in the commentary said that Barcelona's first position adjustment in the second half will most likely be Cesc Fabregas.

Not long after, most of the Real Madrid players who returned to the visiting team's locker room appeared to be in a bad mood, so that the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit weird.

Tang Zheng glanced at the other ten teammates, shook his head, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that Tang Zheng had the urge to laugh, Cristiano Ronaldo curiously asked, "Tang, what are you laughing at?"

"Laugh?" Tang Zheng spread his hands and said calmly, "Maybe it's your illusion."

"Impossible, I clearly saw you smiling." Cristiano Ronaldo insisted on his statement.

So, Tang Zheng hooked his fingers towards Cristiano Ronaldo, and said in a low voice: "The game is only halfway through, so there is no need to be depressed. Don't forget that you and I are not in front of the outside world yet."

Speaking of this, Tang Zheng gave a "you understand" look, and Cristiano Ronaldo instantly understood, and also covered his mouth and whispered: "I think my confidence will be even stronger in the next game."

"Must." Tang Zheng said confidently, "Always be ready to receive my pass."

...

In a blink of an eye, the 15-minute break in halftime passed, and the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half.

Real Madrid, which fell behind in the score, did not make adjustments. Instead, Barcelona, ​​which was at home, took the lead in making personnel adjustments. No. 9 Sanchez replaced Cesc Fabregas, who had a sluggish performance in the first half.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was a little surprised by this: "Barcelona took the lead in making substitution adjustments? Real Madrid is behind."

But as soon as the words fell, he added: "Cesc Fabregas's performance in the first half was indeed a bit unsatisfactory, but this has nothing to do with his own ability. Martino placed him in an unfamiliar position. I think it would be a change. Any player would be like that..."

Speaking of this, He Wei couldn't help but praise Tang Zheng: "Not every player is as comprehensive as Tang Zheng. No matter what position he plays, he can play brilliantly. Talent is doomed and cannot be changed. Fabregas is two years old. At the age of sixteen, the skills have already been finalized, and it is very difficult to change the style of play."

The match was announced by He Wei's eloquent talk. Barcelona, ​​which had the kick-off advantage, was not in a hurry to attack, but used various familiar triangle passes to find Real Madrid's defensive loopholes.

For Barcelona's traditional Tiki-Taka style of play, without Ancelotti's key arrangements before the game, most Real Madrid players understand it very thoroughly.

Head-to-head is definitely not enough, as long as you stand in the defensive position, the defensive problem will naturally be solved.

Barcelona's patient attack and high-position pressing power are really good, but they can't get much benefit from Real Madrid players whose skills are not behind.

Especially when Real Madrid switched from defense to offense and passed the ball to Tang Zheng's feet, his technique and vision can often pick the ball out comfortably, making the team's offense clearer.

As for the tacit cooperation between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo during the intermission, Tang Zheng is still looking for an opportunity.

The contact between the two too early will inevitably lead to the focus of the Barcelona players. At that time, it is very likely that they will die before they start their battles. Therefore, what Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo pursue is to hit a hit!
